Unspeakable bubbles

Hilda chimed in, "Isn't that right, Hiroki-kun?"

"no no."

Hiroki Oogawa shook his head: "Slightly, well, I can, I can control it a little."

"is it?"

Hilda had serious doubts about this.

"Wow, Hiroki-kun's ability is really special."

"And the clothes have gotten bigger too!"

“That was specially made by Dean Harris.”

Hilda helped Hiroki explain: "They say it's a garment that can't be stretched no matter how big it gets."

"No, that's right, Dean, thank you for your trouble."

"Hiroki-kun, you're the biggest, how big can you get?" the little girl asked curiously.

"..."

Hiroki Taiga thought about it carefully for a moment, but in the end he shook his head.

"No, I don't know."

Section 427, Chapter 426: Seek Your Own Blessing

"This is the shower area. Hot water goes to the left, and cold water goes to the right."

"My bed is big enough for two people to sleep together."

"There's no food in the fridge. Hmm, I'll buy some bread and milk later so you can eat it if you get hungry at night."

"I get up at 7:10 every day. My biological clock is very accurate. I'll wake you up then."

"I'll give you half of the wardrobe!"

"All purchases on the island are made using points. Bubble, since you just arrived at the academy, you only have the most basic 1,000 points per month."

"Use these points first. If you need more, come to me and I'll help you figure something out."

Reiko Hatta made the bed for the little girl, then thought for a moment and asked in a cautious tone, "Bubble, if there's anything inconvenient in your daily life, you can tell me!"

"Perhaps others cannot understand you. But, but I..."

Reiko hesitated whether to be direct, but then felt it was too fast.

'It's only the first day I've met Bubble, being too hasty will only scare her away.'

Seeing the little girl looking at her strangely, Reiko smiled to cover it up.

"Oops, I accidentally said something strange."

"In short, don't be shy around me. If there's anything I can do to help, I definitely will!"

"kindness!"

"Reiko, it's so good to have met you."

The little girl nodded vigorously, a happy smile spreading across her face.

“When Bubble was in school, she had many roommates, and they all took good care of her.”

"Reiko, you are just like them, a kind-hearted person who is willing to help Bubble!"

"Yes, is that so?"

Reiko Hatta smiled, feeling much more at ease after hearing the little girl's words.

'Although she was cursed with misfortune, Bubble seems to have met many kind people before.'

"That's true. If it weren't for that, the little girl definitely wouldn't have such a carefree personality now."

"Reiko, Bubble will introduce you to a friend."

As she spoke, the little girl pulled a white rabbit doll out of her schoolbag.

"It's a bunny!"

"Ok?"

Reiko Hatta took the rabbit plush toy and examined it carefully while holding it in both arms.

'The workmanship is very rough. But…'

'Is it just my imagination? I feel like this rabbit plush toy's eyes are so expressive, almost like it's alive.'

"A very special doll."

Reiko smiled and said, "These white plush toys get dirty very easily. They can't be this clean unless they're washed regularly."

"Bubble, you've taken good care of it."

"..."

"W-what's wrong?"

The little girl was initially quite happy, but after hearing what I said, she suddenly became depressed.

"Sigh, Bubble didn't take good care of Bunny, Bubble made Bunny fade."

"what?"

"Originally, rabbits were black."

"No, really?"

Reiko looked at the snow-white rabbit doll in her hand with an incredulous expression.

"You mean it was originally black, and then faded to look like this?"

Seeing the little girl nod, Reiko Hatta's lips twitched involuntarily.

Black to white...

Can color fading really be this thorough?

"White, isn't it pretty? Haha, I don't think there's anything wrong with white bunnies."

Reiko returned the rabbit doll to the little girl: "Don't stop liking the rabbit just because the color has changed."

"No, no, it's just that something feels a little strange."

The little girl hugged the rabbit plush toy tightly. "Maybe Bubble isn't used to it yet."

Who gave you this plush toy?

"It's my sister!"

The little girl started chatting with Reiko, and she talked a lot about her older sister and her past.

Reiko Hatta listened attentively. She was moved by the heartwarming daily life of Bubble and Sasa, and when she heard that her sister had passed away in the fire, she was so sad that she almost cried.

Can,

Throughout, she was merely a listener.

Reiko didn't mention a single thing about herself.

"Bubble, you are so strong."

"If it were me, I probably wouldn't be here anymore."

"Wiping her eyes with a tissue," Reiko said softly.

"My sister has started a new life in heaven, and Bubble must also work hard!"

The little girl's voice sounded sleepy, and she yawned: "Reiko, it's very late today, Bubble will talk to you again tomorrow."

"Turn off the lights and let's go to sleep."

"..."

"Bubble, light, don't turn it off."

Reiko took out an eye mask she had prepared beforehand: "I prepared an eye mask, Bubble, why don't you try it?"

"what?"

"Um, I, I'm a little afraid of the dark."

“When I lived alone before, I would leave the lights on from night until morning.”

Reiko clasped her hands together and said, "I'm sorry to have you living with someone as eccentric as me."

"It's alright, but, Reiko..."

The little girl looked at Reiko Hatta and said earnestly, "If you don't overcome your fear, it will grow bigger and bigger in your heart."

"Sooner or later, even in the daytime, Reiko, you will feel that you are surrounded by darkness."

"..."

Reiko Hatta's expression hardened; she felt as if the little girl had seen through her hidden secret.

"I will try my best. But not now."

She lowered her head, not daring to look the little girl in the eye.

"Okay, Bubble's going to sleep now. Reiko, don't stay up too late either."

The little girl yawned widely, put on her blindfold, hugged her bunny, and snuggled into bed.

"Good night."

"……Good night."……………………………………………………………………………………

"You, hello."

In front of the classroom, a girl with heterochromatic eyes nervously blocked the little girl's path.

"You are……"
