Unspeakable bubbles

“Dean, it’s not just me and Lianzi who have been brainwashed. Besides Xiaoyu and Paopao, I suspect others…” Patty said something that made Harris’s expression change drastically.

"You can't just say things carelessly."

Harris said in a deep voice, "What evidence do you have?"

"Dean, two memories have appeared in my mind."

Reiko Hatta spoke up: "First memory: After we fell into the sandworm's nest, we met Chisato by chance, and she eventually saved us."

"Second memory: We met Chisa a long time ago, and Chisa fell into the underground world with us."

"There, we met Uncle Brown and his archaeological team. After a few minor conflicts, Bubble led everyone on an exploration of the underground world."

"The underground world?"

Harris's brow furrowed: "What did you encounter there?"

"Sandworms, the lost snake-man dynasty, and finally, we went somewhere else."

"I'm sorry, Dean, but I just can't remember the last place we explored together."

After a pause, Reiko guessed, "I think the last place we explored is the key. Chisuna definitely wants to hide its existence."

"..."

Harris remained silent, a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Dean, you can call Teacher Emma over and ask her too.”

Petty said with certainty, "I bet that although not much time has passed, Teacher Emma has already forgotten the details of her trip to the Mahara."

"Okay, I'll call her over right away and ask her."

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

As soon as Emma walked into the office, all three of them turned to look at her.

She was startled: "W-what's wrong? Everyone looks so serious."

"Emma, ​​Grandpa has something to ask you."

Harris gestured for Emma to sit down: "You remember the trip to the Mahara Desert, right?"

"Of course I remember, it hasn't been that long, how could I be so forgetful?"

"Hmm, do you remember how you met Chisara?"

"How did I meet my senior sister? Well, it was when I was being chased by sandworms that I suddenly ran into her."

"After encountering Chisuna, were the sandworms that were chasing you killed by Chisuna?"

“...Yes, I guess so.” Emma’s tone wasn’t entirely certain.

How did you and Bubble get separated?

"It was right next to me when it fell, but then it disappeared as I was walking."

"You've fallen into a sandworm's nest?"

“That’s right.” Emma nodded with certainty.

What do insect eggs look like?

"..."

Emma didn't answer immediately; a confused look appeared on her face.

Okay, let's skip this question for now.

As Harris asked for more and more details, Emma found it increasingly difficult to answer.

She often needs to ponder for a while before giving an ambiguous answer, and sometimes she can't answer many questions at all.

"Grandpa, something's not right!"

By this time, Emma had also realized what was happening.

"My memory isn't that bad. How come I've forgotten almost everything about the trip in just a few days?"

"..."

Harris's face was ashen. He got up and rummaged through the cabinet, pulling out several bottles of medicine.

“Emma, ​​each student in your class should have one bottle and take two pills each in the morning, noon, and night.”

Although it's a powerful medicine, how much each person can remember in the face of Chisa's demonic eyes is entirely up to fate.

"what?"

Emma stared wide-eyed at her grandfather in disbelief.

"That's right, just as you think."

Harris said in a deep voice, "You have all been interfered with by Chisa's Demon Eye."

"Senior sister, she, she..."

Emma was speechless. Chisa's repeated manipulation of her memories was truly disheartening to her.

“Dean, Chisara is definitely hiding something,” Reiko said with certainty.

“I will go to Mahara myself, Reiko. Do you remember the location of the oasis you found?”

"Well"

Reiko gave a wry smile: "I'm sorry, Dean."

"It's alright. The underground world is so big, and it's under the desert. With a little more effort, it won't be hard to find."

As he spoke, Harris stood up.

"There's no time to lose, I'll set off now."

"Dean, you asked me to stay behind alone earlier."

Reiko quickly asked, "Is there something you need me to do?"

"I was worried that your cultivation might have gone wrong, since your strength has improved by leaps and bounds. I wanted to have a private talk with you."

"But, after listening to what you said, I think that Reiko's sudden increase in strength may be related to the Mahara trip."

"After all, your strength only started to soar after you came back from there, so there must be a connection between the two."

"..."

Lianzi felt a chill run down her spine. She thought she had hidden it well, but she didn't expect Harris to have discovered it so early.

Of course she knew how her strength had increased; the black feather in her hair was not a fake, but the real thing!

"Should we confess to the dean now? The fake he made for me was somehow replaced with the real thing."

'No......'

For some reason, a dark thought flashed through Reiko's mind.

'Maybe the dean gave me the real thing from the beginning? He's actually been lying to me all along.'

'Laplace Academy is currently facing a talent shortage. Harris and Anosi are both getting old. Once they leave, who will have the strength to support the academy?'

'I might just be that guarantee for the future.'

Seeing that Reiko kept her head down and didn't speak, Harris comforted her, "Don't worry, Reiko. I've observed that your sudden increase in strength hasn't caused any other harm to your body."

"Of course, you must be under a lot of pressure from your sudden increase in strength. But things are starting to look promising."

"I'll find out the whole story for you when I get to Mahara!"

"Dean, I believe in you."

Reiko looked up and smiled, "Have a safe journey, we'll be waiting for you to come back!"

Section 568, Chapter 567: Familiar Face

"Your Majesty, we have arrived."

"Oh, so this is the Boyle family's territory. It's quite prosperous."

The little girl got off the carriage, looked around for a moment, and then said something praising her.

"It is indeed bustling... However, Duke William's welcoming party did not arrive on time. Your Majesty, why don't we take a stroll around the neighborhood?"

"kindness"

Ignoring William's neglect, the little girl curiously wandered around the town.

"There are so many blacksmith shops and taverns."

After walking for a short while, the little girl discovered the unique features of the place.

Carmen laughed and said, "After all, the Boyle family has been at war with the Great Plains for many years, so blacksmith shops and taverns are bound to be very popular."

"Hmm, Bubble thinks it's better to stop fighting. It's not good to keep fighting all the time."

"Young lady, you are too naive."

The drunken soldier who walked out of the tavern laughed loudly when he heard Bubble's words: "Either the steppe people attack us, or we attack them."

"I can't stop, I haven't been able to stop for a long time, hiccup."

"Hey, you're drunk!"

His companion smiled nervously at the black-haired guard next to Bubble and quickly pulled the soldier aside to make way.

"..."

"Your Majesty?"

“Carmen, go back and tell Croft that the tavern is not open to soldiers during the day.”

"They are the protectors of the territory, and it won't do for them to be drunk so early in the morning."

"Understood. What about the patrol teams?"

"Ok?"
