Unspeakable bubbles

Page 434

"Bubble understands. Thank you for your hard work. Go home now."

After the little girl led the dogs back to their shadows, she turned to everyone and said, "The dogs encountered a soft, big guy while they were mining. He has a bad temper and might be coming out soon."

"Uh, it means preparing for battle, right?"

Petty loosened his muscles: "Okay, okay, if we just go back like this, I feel like something's missing."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a short while later, a silvery, viscous creature slowly crawled out of the cave entrance.

"Everyone, stand back!"

"Takehara, let's launch a long-range attack!"

The Bagua mirror and magic wand instantly appeared in their hands, and a bolt of lightning and a fireball flew swiftly toward the strange creature.

"squeak!"

After letting out a scream from somewhere, it continued walking towards the crowd as if nothing had happened.

"The legal system won't work; we have to fight hand-to-hand."

Petty looked around, then rushed to a big tree, grabbed the trunk with both hands, and pulled hard.

"Get out of the way!"

Patty swung the tree and smashed it down on the strange creature.

"bang bang bang"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Phew, how was it?"

"..."

"It's not very effective; it's very resistant to impact."

Reiko looked at Mizushima: "Why don't you give it a try?"

Ryuichi Mizushima took off his glasses and stared intently at the lump for a long while.

“Reiko, I can only control the flow of human blood. This thing… uh, I can’t do anything about it.”

"However, it must have weaknesses. Let's leave here first and discuss this further."

"Ah, Rabbit says it has a solution, everyone wait a moment."

The little girl's words attracted everyone's attention. After Bubble put the rabbit doll on the ground, it immediately stood up.

The rabbit rubbed its two front paws against the liquid creature that was gradually approaching it, making a pulling motion.

Section 466, Chapter 465: Academy Heroes

"Grumpy"

Just like water boiling, a large number of bubbles emerged from the surface of the liquid organism.

At the same time, a transparent carrot slowly appeared in front of the rabbit.

As the carrot fully took shape, the strange liquid creature completely stopped moving.

"What's this mystery?"

Emma was speechless with astonishment: "It...it's dead?"

"There are no signs of life."

Patty poked the steaming silver liquid with a twig and commented, "It's become like heated liquid mithril."

"I'm here to take a sample."

After Emma filled an empty bottle with some 'liquid mithril', she couldn't help but look at the plush rabbit with a strange gaze.

The rabbit paid no attention to the stares of the crowd, and kept stuffing the transparent carrot into its mouth.

"Bunny, don't eat weird things!"

The little girl immediately ran over, snatched the half-eaten carrot, and threw it far away.

"Good girl, bunny. When we get back, I'll buy you some fresh carrots."

The rabbit looked at the little girl pitifully and nodded with a very aggrieved expression.

"Wow, Bubble, your familiar is so intelligent!"

Patty walked over, looking at Bubble with a hint of envy: "Can I touch it?"

"The rabbit doesn't like being touched. If you, Patty, put your hand over, it will bite you."

"Huh, she's got quite a temper."

"Bubble, your familiar... how did it kill that unknown life form?"

Emma walked over to the little girl and said, "Can you tell me about its abilities? There might be other similar unknown life forms in the cave. I want to know what kind of mystery can be used to deal with them."

"The bunny's ability? It's like pulling something out and eating it... Ah, since strange things can upset your stomach, it's better not to eat it."

"Pull it out, and there's something strange inside?"

Emma was completely baffled; she had no idea what the little girl was talking about.

At this moment, Reiko spoke up.

"The strange thing must be the soul of that liquid creature. Compared to the souls of humans or animals, it is indeed a 'strange thing'."

After saying that, she looked at the rabbit with a hostile gaze: "Only demons would have this ability, Bubble, you'd better burn it quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the rabbit's long ears immediately stood up.

It bared its teeth and claws at Reiko, and if Bubble hadn't held it tightly, the rabbit would have pounced on it and bit that nasty creature in the next second.

"Rabbit, Reiko is Bubble's friend, you can't bite her."

"Ah, of course we can't eat her either."

"Don't worry, Bubble won't burn Bunny."

After comforting the rabbit for a while, the little girl looked up and said to Reiko very seriously, "The rabbit is an important gift that my sister gave to Bubble, and Bubble will always cherish it."

"Bubble..."

Reiko Hatta's eyes were filled with anxiety: "It will eat that monster, and one day it will eat you too!"

"Hmm, bunnies don't eat bubbles."

The little girl's braids trembled, and she said somewhat angrily, "Even though Reiko is Bubble's friend, don't keep saying bad things about Rabbit."

"The rabbit can be mischievous sometimes, but it has never done anything bad."

"..."

Seeing the girl's firm words, Reiko was speechless for a moment.

"President, look at you. Rabbit just helped us a lot, and you're saying such things about it. That's a bit much."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit tense, Mizushima quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"By the way, Teacher Emma, please inform the academy about the situation here."

"I see."

Emma glanced at the rabbit doll the little girl was holding and seemed preoccupied.

If what Reiko said is true, and this familiar has the ability to devour souls, then that would be terrifying.

'I must report this to Grandpa when I get back and see how he handles it.'

She took out a communicator from her magic hat and connected to Laplace Academy's special channel.

"This is Emma, please respond."

“Laplace Academy received, Professor Emma, please speak.”

"We have successfully located the mithril ore. The coordinates are being sent. Please receive."

"..."

There was a noticeable pause in the conversation. Emma knew that she was assisting the student council in their mission to find mithril, but how long had it been?

"Coordinates received, duplicate, coordinates received."

“Mentor Emma, congratulations on completing the mission. I will report this to my superiors immediately.”

"Thank you, there's one more thing I need to report."

Emma recounted the incident of being attacked by liquid creatures after discovering the mineral vein, and she warned, "There may be other liquid creatures in the cave, so please be careful when the excavators come here."

"Received. Emma, do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this unknown life form?"

"..."

Emma hesitated for a moment, but still didn't directly utter the taboo words like 'soul imprisonment'.

"You can try it, it's a psychological shock."

"learn."

"Phew, that's all I have to report. Now my students and I are preparing to return to school."

Have a safe journey.

After putting away the communicator, Emma looked at Reiko's stiff expression and the sullen little girl, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

“…Shall we go back?” Emma tentatively suggested.

"Let's go back and have a celebration banquet, everyone's happy and everything will be fine."

Petty laughed and said, "You two, stop bickering!"

As she spoke, Petty put her arms around both Reiko and Bubble, one in each arm.
