Unspeakable bubbles

"Let me see... It's okay, Kidd is still the handsome Kidd Knight."

"That's good. I'll definitely bring my own sword next time. Ordinary swords really can't handle emergencies."

"Kid, your performance was terrible. If you could have chopped off that hairy monster's head with one sword back then, Bubble and the others wouldn't have had to live in fear."

Becky smiled and encouraged him, "Knight, keep it up!"

Kidd nodded, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"what happened?"

"...It's nothing, maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Kidd had a feeling that something was off about the Bubble Viscount, but he was in a daze and couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He didn't want to speculate about a nobleman without reason, especially since this nobleman had such a good relationship with the young lady.

"Knight Kidd, are you alright?"

Qiong and Bubble came over: "You really took a solid hit back then."

"My bones are strong, it's alright."

“Miss Qiong, this is not a place to stay for long. You should carry the ladies back to the ground first.”

"Silly, didn't Bubble say the exit was just ahead? Come on, let me help you out."

"..."

A subtle sense of disharmony surfaced once again, and Kidd frowned slightly, but under the onslaught of dizziness, he abandoned further thought.

'I feel there's something wrong with what Miss Joan said just now.'

Chapter 364, Section 365, Kingdom Daily

"dong dong dong"

"coming!"

Joan jogged and opened the gates of the Viscount's mansion, where she saw a strange man standing in front of the door.

"You are……"

"Hello, I'm here to deliver the newspaper to the Viscount."

The newspaper deliveryman smiled and handed her a newspaper. Joan glanced at it and saw the words "Kingdom Daily" in large letters.

"Hey, but I don't remember we subscribed to a newspaper?"

"This is a free gift from His Majesty the King to all the nobles, big and small, throughout the kingdom. I'm only delivering it now because the Viscount's registration has just been completed," the newspaper deliveryman said apologetically.

"I see. Let me see."

Joan took the newspaper and glanced at it casually. The whole page was full of praise for His Majesty the King's wisdom and might, and for the new policies that brought him good fortune.

"Well"

"Haha, if it's not to your taste, I have something even more interesting."

The young man skillfully produced several more newspapers: "These are from some of the best-selling newspapers in the south, one copper coin each. You won't regret buying them!"

"Oh, you also work as a salesperson?"

"Hehe, after all, I have elderly parents to support and young children to raise, so my fixed salary is really not enough!"

"Alright, I'm bored anyway, give me everything you have."

"Alright, thank you for your patronage. It will be eight copper coins in total."

The young man took the money and left with a smile, while Qiong walked away reading the newspaper.

To be honest, compared to the Kingdom Daily, the gossip from these tabloids is quite interesting.

Joan flipped through the pages casually and quickly noticed a problem.

"None of the gossip and strange tales involve nobles; at most, they only involve big merchants."

“In Saine, the authority of the noble lords is truly deeply entrenched.”

"Qiong, what are you holding in your hand?"

The little girl's curious voice rang out, startling Joan.

"Bubble, when did you get there?"

"The bubbles are always there."

"Is that so?"

Joan couldn't help but wonder if her skills had deteriorated since arriving in Sien, otherwise how could she not even notice a little girl getting close?

"Joan, is that a newspaper in your hand...?"

"Yes, it was delivered by a kind deliveryman."

As she spoke, Joan bent down and handed the newspaper to Bubble.

"Do you see anything you like?"

The little girl flipped through the newspaper, and her gaze suddenly stopped.

"this!"

"Hey, are you interested in these bubbles?"

Joan leaned closer to take a look and discovered it was a story about a detective named Victoria searching for aliens throughout the kingdom.

"Bubble wants to see this!"

"'Victoria and the Aliens' seems to be a serialized series. If you're interested, I'll continue to buy it."

"Yeah."

..............................................................................

"Becky, take it out."

Nicole sat in his chair, said something, and then lowered his head to drink his afternoon tea.

"Father, what exactly do you want me to produce?"

Becky pretended to be confused: "Is it homework?"

Nicole didn't say anything; he picked up a small pastry.

"Father, I really don't understand."

Becky looked completely innocent: "Did someone say bad things about our daughter to you?"

Nicole remained silent, continuing to enjoy his afternoon tea at his own leisurely pace.

"..."

"I know!"

Becky angrily pulled out a silver pistol and slammed it onto the table.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Becky, you can tell me what you want, but please don't hide anything from me."

"Especially dangerous items brought out of ruins."

Seeing Becky pouting and not saying anything, Nicole said with a smile, "I heard from Kid that you did a good job when you encountered danger in the ruins."

"Becky, what reward do you want? How about a beautiful little pony?"

“Becky doesn’t want the pony, Becky wants this silver pistol.”

Seeing her daughter getting stubborn, Nicole said with a headache, "The Fourth Agency has arrived. You know their mission is to destroy or seal all the ruins in the kingdom."

"..."

"Okay, okay, I can try, but I can't guarantee they'll listen to me."

"Thank you, Father!"

Seeing Becky run off happily, Nicole couldn't help but smile.

Speaking of which, since meeting Bubble, my daughter's personality has become much more cheerful.

“Please let the people from the Fourth Agency in,” Nicole said to the servant beside her.

"Yes, sir!"

A short while later, several people in uniform walked in.

“My Lord, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I am the Southern Chief of the Fourth Agency,” the leader said with a smile.

"Oh? Nice to meet you."

When he didn't give his name, Nicole's attitude became less enthusiastic.

“My lord, I have come to visit you specifically to thank you.”

"Your act of reporting the discovered ruins immediately is worthy of emulation by all the nobles in the kingdom!"

"Haha, this is what all responsible people should do."

After exchanging compliments, the man and Nicole finally got down to business.

“Your Excellency, according to our on-site investigation, it seems that there is a small item left behind in the ruins we discovered.”

"Ah, I know, I know."

Nicole pointed to the pistol on the table: "My daughter Becky was playing around and accidentally brought this out with her."

"Oh?"

The man seemed to have just noticed the conspicuous silver pistol on the table, and his face was full of surprise.

"Haha, that's great!"

"To be honest, several of my men are having a headache over this matter."
