Unspeakable bubbles

"No, Bubble and I are not related by blood."

"In fact, I've only known this child for less than half a month."

"Oh?" Eve nodded. "Then, Miss Aya, why are you so interested in bubbles?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Aya spoke up: "Bubble is a good child, that's all I'm saying."

"I wonder if the teacher is satisfied with this answer?"

The "veteran driver" could tell from Aya's words that her temper had been flared up that his partner was in trouble, and he knew things were going badly, so he was about to say something.

Eve smiled again, and she reached out her other hand to tightly wrap Aya's hands with both of them.

Please believe me.

Her voice was full of sincerity: "Miss Aya and I share the same sentiment."

"Teacher?" Aya looked at Eve, somewhat confused.

"This child has already endured enough."

"I can't change the past, but I can make a promise."

"From now on, I will treat Bubble as my own child."

"I will do everything I can to ensure the bubble grows healthily."

"Please believe me, she will definitely reintegrate into society in the near future."

Every word was sincere; Eve spoke from the bottom of her heart.

Both of them were moved. They exchanged a glance with their senior, and Aya finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart.

At the same time, she was also a little embarrassed about her previous actions.

Aya withdrew her hand and also showed a bright smile.

"Teacher Eve"

"Bubble, I'm counting on you!"

Section 7, Chapter 007: Our Journey is to the Stars and the Sea!

A new day begins for Bubble as she starts her campus life.

"Attend class"

"stand up"

"Hello, students." After scanning the twenty-three little ones below the podium, Ms. Eve nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, everyone is here."

Hello, teacher.

After bowing, Bubble sat down with her classmates.

She was assigned to the first row, the seat directly facing the podium. This arrangement was naturally due to Ms. Eve's consideration, but the main reason was... Bubble was too short.

It's not that the little girl is underdeveloped; compared to other children her age, Paopao isn't short.

However, her classmates varied in age. The youngest were about the same age as Bubble, all seven years old, while the oldest, like the class monitor Xingzi, was already thirteen.

In a classroom, people of different ages were sitting upright and listening to the lecture, which looked quite harmonious.

"Today, the teacher will review the history of the Federation. Those who haven't heard it before should listen carefully, and those who have should not be distracted."

Three hundred years ago, Earth was thriving. The technology at that time far surpassed that of today, reaching an incredible level.

"According to historical records, the first space warship has been successfully developed, the 'Second Home' project has entered the countdown phase, and interstellar migration is about to begin."

"People all over the world were more united than ever before, and there was a slogan at the time," Ms. Eve smiled slightly. "Can anyone tell me what it was?"

"Okay, Kyoko is the first to raise her hand, so Kyoko will answer this question."

Anzu, who was in the last row, stood up and shouted with great spirit, "Our journey is to the stars and the sea!"

"That's right, this is it."

Ms. Eve smiled and nodded. "What hopeful, confident, and self-reliant words!"

"If everything goes well, maybe..." Eve couldn't help but feel her heart surge with emotion as she thought of humanity's glory days.

"At that moment, chaos descended."

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

Next, Ms. Eve vividly described how people united in the face of chaos and calamity.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons... natural disasters that occur once every century are frequent.

Bizarre, ferocious, and bloodthirsty chaotic creatures, incapable of communication, have descended upon the land.

Harsh environment, formidable enemy—none of these are problems.

Countless heroes sacrificed their lives; in the face of evil, humanity will never bow down!

The war lasted for a century, and humanity undoubtedly achieved an inevitable victory.

However... everything is irreversible.

The environment polluted by chaos is irreparable, and human civilization, severely damaged, suffers a break in its continuity.

Even more so, countless other chaotic creatures, unwilling to accept defeat, lurk on Earth. They lurk in the shadows, watching humanity, ready to unleash endless carnage at the first opportunity.

The teacher spoke with great passion, but Bubble only seemed to understand a little.

Bubble didn't quite understand what the restoration of Earth's glory and the Federation's status as a great nation that inherited the legacy of its predecessors meant, but since the teacher said it, it must be true.

And so, with a vague understanding, Bubble finished her first lesson in life.

"Bubble, how are you doing? Are you getting used to it?"

Bubble's roommate, the class monitor Xingzi, walked over confidently and asked with concern.

"Mmm," the little girl nodded.

"If you have any difficulties, just come to me. Anzu is the class monitor, you know." Anzu proudly puffed out her little chest. "Bubble,"

"Oh, Xingzi, when did you become so enthusiastic?" Xiaoshan in the back seat cheerfully interrupted their conversation, feigning ignorance, "Xingzi, you've never been this enthusiastic towards me before."

"Hmph," Xingzi snorted as her former roommate and class troublemaker came out to sabotage her.

"Don't you know?" Xingzi held her head high.

"Please help Bubble a bit more, this is something the teacher asked me to do." Xingzi emphasized the word "teacher," "This is something I can only ask the class monitor to do."

"Eh?" Upon hearing that it was something her favorite teacher, Eve, had asked Kyoko to do, Xiaoshan's confidence faltered. "How could that be?"

Seeing this, Xingzi pressed her advantage, "And what, how dare you say that?"

"Who hid my schoolbag and made me cry for ages?"

"Who put a frog in my blanket? It scared me so much I rolled off the bed!"

"Who startled me while I was eating, making me choke on my food?"

Who is it...?

Xingzi listed someone's crimes, her expression one of utter disgust.

"That's outrageous! Who did that?"

"It's you, it's you!" Seeing someone pretending to be stupid, Xingzi pointed at Xiaoshan's nose: "You annoying guy, you can cry alone in the dormitory from now on."

"That's not necessarily true." Xiao Shan smiled calmly again: "Who said I live alone?"

"Also, I never cry." After a pause, Xiaoshan retorted with a frown.

"Oh, there were originally twenty-two people in the class, and two people shared a dorm room, right?"

"That's right, so what?"

"What's wrong?" Xingzi pointed at Bubble, then at herself.

"Now that Bubble is here, and I, as a senior, have moved in with Bubble, which means..."

Xingzi crossed her arms. "That annoying Xiaoshan lives alone now."

"...Hahahaha," Xiao Shan suddenly stood up, looking down at Xingzi, "You've got it all wrong."

"Hmm?" Kyoko frowned.

"One, two, three, four... twenty-three," Kyoko silently counted the number of people in the classroom and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Twenty-three divided by two doesn't result in an integer. Xiaoshan, you need to pay attention in class from now on," the class monitor said earnestly.

"...Do you think I'm stupid?!" Xiao Shan was quite angry. She had originally wanted to build up the atmosphere and tease this arrogant and meddlesome guy.

It seems that's not going to work now, so she's about to reveal the truth.

"Ms. Eve has moved in with Xiaoshan."

"Huh?"

"Really, really?"

"No way!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gathered around Xiaoshan.

"Of course it's true! Ms. Eve was with me all night last night." Enjoying the envious looks from her friends, she announced with a victorious expression.

"Including the teachers, there are a total of twenty-four people. Divide by two to get the whole number!"

"You're the one who miscalculated, class monitor!"

Hehehehe

"Wh-what, how could this be?" Kyoko was devastated.

“Of course I will,” Xiaoshan said, raising her head. “Xingzi, you can stay with the new girl. I’ll take over Teacher Eve.”

The victory declaration had barely been made when dissenting voices immediately rang out: "Nonsense, Ms. Eve belongs to everyone!"
