Unspeakable bubbles

Yuko was once obsessed with it, but she soon discovered: "It's too boring."

Yes, it's so boring!

No one can resist me; a single glance from me is enough to terrify them into running away in terror.

There's no resistance, you all just passively accept it, isn't that...isn't that pointless?

Utterly disappointed, utterly disappointed!

Since then, Yuko has rarely taken action.

She occasionally finds people who can pique her interest and get her to do things herself.

They are usually freshmen or transfer students. Because they don't understand themselves, these guys always have some novel reactions.

Aside from that, her only pleasure was watching those useless guys hurt each other.

Hmm, watching those cats and dogs fight each other with unwilling expressions is quite interesting, isn't it?

However, Yuko was also getting tired of it.

She was well aware that the other students in the class had formed some kind of united front, specifically targeting people they didn't like.

By bullying people she doesn't like, Yuko will prevent herself from bullying others.

Perhaps they weren't entirely malicious.

After all, if you do it yourself, you might accidentally send someone to the hospital without knowing how to use your strength. It's a different story when they do it themselves.

This is what 'bullying' is all about.

This way, not only did they protect themselves, but they also protected the unlucky guy.

Killing two birds with one stone, isn't that great?

They thought they had kept these things discreet, but Yuko knew everything.

Ah, let them be.

Just think of it as a daily farce performed in front of myself; at least it helps pass the time and alleviate my boredom.

What a boring school...

However, it's different now.

She is special.

With its small stature, round face, innocent big eyes, and two little braids, it looks exactly like a naive little white rabbit that's easily bullied.

The image of that person appeared before her eyes, and Yuko smiled happily.

Whether it's really a little white rabbit, a lion in rabbit skin, or something else entirely, let me, Yuko, see for myself!

Of course, there was one more thing she had to do before that.

Section 42, Chapter 042: Yuko's Worldview

Professor Nakamura is the de facto controller of this school.

An old man who always invited me to have tea, and a strange fellow who inexplicably helped me a lot.

A... disgusting old man.

Sakakibara Ikuko disliked that guy from the bottom of her heart, and she wanted to teach him a lesson when they first met.

She didn't care what status Nakamura had at the school; Sakakibara Ikuko was always the kind of person who did what she wanted.

However, she hesitated at the moment of taking action.

It wasn't that she suddenly became respectful to the elderly and caring for the young; rather, it was that her intuition had given her a warning of danger.

"Don't do it, it's dangerous."

Sakakibara Ikuko was stunned. Could it be that the skinny old man in front of her was a hidden master?

But it doesn't seem like it.

He had neither the muscles honed by a martial artist through countless trials, nor the imposing presence befitting a strong person.

He looked like just an ordinary old man.

Because of this hesitation, Yuko abandoned her plan to take immediate action.

After an unpleasant meeting, Yuko began to ponder a question.

Why do we only realize the danger when we're about to take action?

If Nakamura were truly someone who could rival her, she would have sensed it the moment he stepped into the office.

So, in other words, the old man himself wasn't strong, but he had some means to threaten me.

"So it was the 'administrator'."

Yuko suddenly realized that a zoo could not function without a zookeeper.

Moreover, there are ferocious beasts like myself inside, so as the administrator, I must have 'weapons'.

A person with bare hands will be devoured by wild beasts, but a person with a hunting rifle... even lions and tigers will bow their heads.

After thinking it through, Sakakibara Ikuko wisely gave up the idea of ​​causing trouble for Nakamura.

After all, there are still so many prey, there's no need to take such a big risk to try out a hunting rifle.

In the days that followed, Yuko became even more active in her 'hunting,' completely immersing herself in bullying the weak.

Enjoying their fear and experiencing the thrill of domination, Yuko was quite satisfied for a time.

However, it will only last for a short period of time.

Before long, Ikuko Sakakibara began to feel bored.

This is boring, so dull! Can't I have a decent opponent?

Tigers, lions, gorillas, elephants—it doesn't matter! Just come out now!

Unfortunately, all I could see in the school were cats and dogs.

Hmm? It seems I've forgotten something.

What should be in this school, and what could be a threat to oneself?

......

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

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

"That old man!"

In the cafeteria, Yuko excitedly jumped up.

She kicked over the chair and exclaimed happily, "How could I have forgotten about him!"

Ignoring the horrified looks from her classmates, the girl was completely immersed in joy.

'Yes, yes, it's him, it's him!'

Hehehehe, ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Sakakibara Ikuko laughed unrestrainedly, tears streaming down her face.

That's great, that's great, there's still that old man.

Great, great! I finally have the motivation again.

Great, I can finally escape this boring daily routine.

She hummed a song and walked straight out of the cafeteria.

How to deal with Nakamura, that is the question.

Yuko knew absolutely nothing about the old man Nakamura; she didn't know his personality, his hobbies, or his habits.

Know nothing? That's okay.

Putting Nakamura aside, what I need to overcome now is the zoo manager.

The unfamiliar manager, armed with a gun, didn't seem to have a positive view of himself.

He was a wild beast, with sharp teeth and a strong body.

What to do? It's simple!

Just make him lower his guard and put down his shotgun.

Ah, it doesn't need to be that level.

After all, it's really asking too much of a person to face a ferocious beast with their bare hands.

To clarify, you don't need to make him put down his gun. Just make him lower his guard and get closer to you.

Without a robust physique, and with age diminishing judgment, he becomes vulnerable once he lets his guard down...

So what if he has a gun? As long as there's the slightest opening, I can easily pounce on him and kill him!

As Yuko hummed a song, a terrible plan gradually took shape in her mind.

How can we make the administrator lower their guard?

Is there even a question? Accept his charity, accept his 'feeding'.

Make him think you're close to him, make him think you treat him like family, make him forget the fact that he's a beast.

Well, there's a difficult part here too.

Sakakibara Ikuko hated that old man from the bottom of her heart, but acting might not fool him.

The girl frowned in distress, and her light steps slowed down.

Ikuko Sakakibara knows herself well. Although she may occasionally take a roundabout approach for more fun, she is generally a straightforward girl who would rather take action than talk, and would rather resolve things with violence than sit down and negotiate.

There's no way I could possibly fool that shrewd old man with my acting skills.

The girl fell into deep thought. As she walked, she unknowingly arrived at the school gate.
