Unspeakable bubbles

"You should give the bad guys one last warning before they reach the Grand Canyon."

"If they still don't listen, dog, you dig a hole and plant this seed."

The little girl placed the black seed on the dog's paw in the shredder: "Do you understand?"

"Awoo!"

Crusher No. 3 nodded vigorously, carefully holding the black seed, its eyes revealing a look of resignation to its fate.

"Don't be nervous, this is just a simple task for you."

"Doggy, you're the fastest at digging holes, right?"

After offering a few words of comfort, the little girl said to Qiuqiu and Shadow Dragon, "You two go with the dog, and everyone must come back safe and sound!"

Section 446, Chapter 445: The Great Calamity

"It's in line with the standards..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"How strong is it?"

"Based on the spatial scale and the number of high-energy individuals, it is a high-level shadow space of the sixth to seventh order."

"..."

Stuart remained silent for a moment, while the Imperial sorcerers divided the Shadow Space into nine tiers from low to high.

The first to third levels are low-level shadow spaces, and it is generally difficult for lords to emerge from such shadow spaces.

The fourth to sixth order is the mid-level shadow space, and the sixth order and above is the high-level shadow space.

According to the rank system, even calling someone "high-ranking" would be a bit of a stretch, but...

"How can a mere 'higher-level' shadow space, which doesn't even reach the seventh rank, become our great calamity?"

"..."

The powerful sorcerer remained silent, bowing its head deeply before its lord.

"Ascension to 'World' is imminent, and according to ancient records, we will surely encounter a terrible calamity this time."

"If we're lucky, we might encounter an equally matched opponent who is also at the peak of the ninth rank and about to advance."

"We were unlucky; we ran into the Shadow World, which had just completed its advancement."

"But what's going on this time?"

Stuart instinctively swung his strong tail: "Did the Empire really hit the jackpot?"

"Your Majesty, please do not harbor any illusions."

The warlock said respectfully, "Unexpected things are often not a good thing."

"I know, I know."

Stuart's scaly lizard face twitched violently, as if it were recalling some unpleasant past events.

"If it is an evenly matched opponent, then I will lead you in a fight to the death."

"If I were to encounter a Shadow Lord who controls the entire world, I would wag my tail and beg for mercy from him."

"But, given the current situation..."

"..."

Stuart closed its eyes and waved its paw impatiently: "Cha! Get all the warlocks moving. I need to find out what's going on with them as quickly as possible."

"As ordered!"

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

"Bubble, are you feeling better?"

Entering the dormitory, Reiko looked at the little girl who was eating and asked her with concern.

"Ah, Bubble's alright!"

The little girl ate an apple and made a "no problem" gesture.

Reiko breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Bubble for a moment, then asked with some curiosity, "Bubble, where did that black flower between your eyebrows go?"

"Bubble took it down."

"..."

Okay, I thought it was tattooed on, but it turns out it was just pasted on.

"It's getting late. Let's put your apple soaking aside for now, or you won't be able to eat dinner."

"Apples are enough. Bubble isn't going to the cafeteria today."

The little girl patted her belly and said with a smile, "Bubble ate a carrot and two apples, and my belly is full."

"Ok."

Reiko nodded and began preparing her dinner.

Lettuce, bean sprouts, cabbage, potatoes...

Clear the liquid, chop it, put it in a pot, and add water.

Twenty minutes later, a pot of vegetable soup that looked rather unappetizing was ready.

Reiko didn't even take the bowl; she just scooped up the cooked cabbage with a large spoon and ate it.

"..."

"Pity"

"Ok?"

"So, you're a vegetarian?"

“No, it’s just because of my health that I can’t eat meat,” Hatta Reiko said calmly.

"Oh, right, Bubble hasn't seen Reiko in the cafeteria. Is this how you've been dealing with your stomach all this time?"

"more or less."

Reiko thought for a moment: "Sometimes I'll eat some fruit, but most of the time I'll buy some vegetables from the supermarket on the island and stew them."

"Hmm, it doesn't look appetizing at all."

The little girl changed her shoes: "Reiko, wait a minute, Bubble bought you something!"

"Huh?"

"No need, I'll be right there..."

Before he could finish speaking, the little girl had vanished without a trace.

"It runs so fast. I remember when Hilda was performing the summoning ritual, Bubble appeared right next to me in an instant."

"Perhaps this is one of the abilities she received from the Chaos Lord."

That's right. Because she has made a contract with two lords, it's only natural that the little girl possesses two kinds of mystery.

"First, speed; second..."

Thinking of Bubble's consecutive draws in rock-paper-scissors, Reiko muttered uncertainly to herself, "Could it be the ability to never have a clear winner?"

"I'm back!"

With a "bang," the dormitory door was pushed open.

Reiko's hand trembled, and she turned around with wide eyes: "Good, so fast!"

The little girl put a large bag on the ground and called to Reiko.

"Come and take a look, this can be put in the soup."

"Seasoning packet?"

"It's the broth, used for making hot pot."

The little girl took out a packet of hot pot base: "Because Lianzi doesn't eat meat, Paopao only buys tomato-flavored hot pot base."

"Bubble, you've gone to a lot of trouble, but I don't think there's anything wrong with eating it like this."

Reiko shook her head. "Why make things so complicated when we can all fill our stomachs? It's much better to keep it simple."

"It's just adding a packet of hot pot base, it doesn't take any effort at all!"

Seeing the little girl's insistence, Reiko showed a helpless expression.

"Bubble, I don't put it at the bottom of the pot, and I don't even add salt. There's actually another reason for that."

Reiko pointed to the steaming pot: "Eating these bland and tasteless things every day can temper my mind and strengthen my heart."

"..."

The little girl blinked, and after carefully examining Reiko, she shook her head repeatedly.

"Reiko, your method won't work."

"Why not?"

Reiko was a little angry that her years of persistence had been negated all at once, even though the other party was Bubble.

"Because, Reiko, you've persevered for so long, but your heart hasn't become stronger at all."

"Nonsense, utter nonsense!"

Reiko said firmly, "I am the current student council president of Laplace Academy. I have not succumbed to my own bloodline and have fought against those strange ideas for so long without admitting defeat."

"I am very strong, not only in terms of physical strength, but also in terms of mental strength!"

"But……"

The little girl thought for a moment, then honestly replied, "If you, Reiko, are truly incredibly powerful, why would you be afraid of the dark?"

"This...it doesn't matter, does it?"
