Unspeakable bubbles

'Something's wrong. Does Bubble have mind-reading abilities?'

Emma cleared her mind, not thinking about anything, and instinctively reached out her hand when the countdown ended.

"Ah, another tie! Both players chose paper!"

Several more rounds passed, and the two remained evenly matched.

'No, it's not mind reading.'

"Pause, stop for a moment, I need to organize my thoughts." Emma made a stop gesture.

"Teacher Emma has called a break. We're now in the intermission."

'Since it wasn't mind reading, it's very likely that Bubble was subtly interfering with my choices.'

Emma silently erected a mental defense barrier for herself, and after thinking for a moment, she closed her eyes again.

"That's enough, referee, I request to play with my eyes closed!"

"Oh ho, it seems that Teacher Emma has already noticed something amiss and has come up with a countermeasure."

"The game continues, three, two, one!"

"Another draw, another one. It seems like Emma's countermeasures aren't working!"

"..."

"The hundredth tie. Although it's a tie, it feels like everything is under Bubble's control!"

"After the 180th draw, Teacher Emma was sweating."

"two hundred……"

"It's the 300th round, and it's still a draw!"

"flat!"

"flat!"

"flat!"

"Phew, which round is it now? Anyway, the result is still the same."

Patty looked at Emma, ​​whose face was pale, and couldn't help but shake her head.

"As the referee, I feel that the game should no longer continue."

"Teacher Emma... was completely manipulated by her opponent."

"The gap is huge; it's incomparable."

Patty cleared her throat: "Ms. Emma, ​​what do you think?"

"No, there's no need to compete."

"Alright, after an intense afternoon of competition, the outcome is finally in."

"I hereby declare Bubble Player,"

"Victory without winning!"

Section 440, Chapter 439: Counterattack

Victory without actually winning?

and so……

Did it fail again?

Emma looked somewhat dazed; she never imagined that she would ultimately fail here.

"Bubble"

Reiko looked at the little girl with a troubled expression. Things had developed to this point, and even she didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a while, thinking about how Dean Harris had taken good care of her, how her class couldn't be without a mentor, and how Emma's temperament was to her liking...

"Hey Bubble, Teacher Emma played with you for half the day, are you any happier now?"

"Bubble isn't angry anymore. Apart from her sister, this is the first time anyone has played with Bubble so patiently!"

The little girl smiled at Emma and said, "Thank you."

"...No, it's nothing, we still lost in the end."

Emma sighed: "I'm a man of my word, I'll leave right away."

Reiko Hatta immediately panicked. She was still trying to salvage the situation, so why had this guy just raised his hands and surrendered?

"Teacher Emma, ​​don't worry."

Reiko was about to say something when Patty said sarcastically, "Reiko, you're so ugly."

"Even Teacher Emma herself has admitted defeat, what, you still want to cheat?"

"What do you mean by cheating? Reiko was just discussing it with Bubble!"

As expected, Mizushima jumped out and tried his best to defend Reiko: "Besides, Emma-sensei didn't actually lose, did she? It was a draw the whole time, wasn't it?"

"Heh heh, Mizushima, you're lying through your teeth!"

Takehara said with a sneer, "Although I know you can be shameless for Reiko, this time, don't try to argue your way out of it!"

Before Mizushima could speak, the little girl waved her hand and said, "Everyone, stop arguing."

"We are all good friends, so we should get along well."

After saying that, the little girl looked at Emma again: "Emma, ​​Bubble thinks you're really nice, you've played with Bubble for so long..."

"Huh?"

Emma was both surprised and delighted. Could it be that she had accidentally won the little girl's approval?

"Bubble, do you accept me now?"

"Of course not."

"..."

"However, even though I don't agree, Emma is a good person."

The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Emma doesn't need to leave. It's good for her to stay here and be a teacher."

"That's right, from now on Bubble will just call you Emma."

Emma, ​​isn't it Teacher Emma?

Emma was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered herself up.

'Bubble didn't directly deny me, so I still have a chance to gain her approval in the future!'

'Make more preparations, and next time, I must win back.'

"Ms. Emma, ​​things have finally come to an end. Congratulations on gaining the approval of most of the class."

As she spoke, Reiko was the first to clap her hands.

"Teacher Emma, ​​thank you for your hard work!" Mizushima followed suit and clapped.

"Welcome, Teacher Emma."

Xiaoyu clapped her hands and bowed to her.

"Xiaoyu has always wanted to thank you for helping me back then!"

"Tch, you're making me sound like a bad guy."

Petty muttered a few words and gave a perfunctory few pats.

Takehara's expression was indifferent; she remained motionless and showed no intention of joining in the applause.

Hiroki-kun...

This boy, who usually stutters and seems easy to talk to, didn't react at all.

It seems that although he expressed Hilda's gratitude to Emma earlier, he himself did not truly agree with the teacher.

Despite the twists and turns, Emma ultimately 'successfully' took over this special class.

Good girl Bubble has resumed her peaceful school life...

Uh, okay, actually not.

"Bubble, I challenge you!"

"Rock, paper, scissors, let's have a contest."

"I've heard about your story. Let me shatter your myth!"

"..."

"........."

The next day, the little girl stared blankly at the students blocking the classroom door, clamoring to compete with her.

"What's wrong with you guys? Don't you know class is about to start?!"

Reiko strode over and shouted at the students, "Go back to your classrooms now, or you'll be in the dark room!"

"I'm not leaving, I want to race Bubble!"

"Class hasn't started yet, has it? What did we do wrong?"

"Student council president, what a grand display of power."

"Big sister, is everyone here to play with bubbles?" The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes!"

"If you are really as powerful as the rumors say..."

"Hmph, as long as it's not a tie, you lose. That's the rule, isn't it?"

"Everyone came to play with Bubble, and Bubble was very happy."
