“Kiyaaaaaaaagh!”
[Di, ing. Keuk.]
[Sa, save Princess quickly.]
“What the hell is this?!”
[Bubbles came from gate, some explode making noise, some attack breathing creatures’ respiratory systems!]
“Indeed!?”
Coming at me too.
Put down coffee tray, grabbed shoes at entrance swung block.
Just in case, summoned pot lid and kitchen knife equipped.
Who knew use summon in this few pyeong corner room.
Peng!
“What this?”
[Mixed exploding bubbles and non-exploding. This fuck!?]
Raised jump RiceCookerMan earns keep, no electricity bill, in times like this.
But bubbles keep coming from open gate, not RiceCookerMan belly.
[Called magic bubbles. Bubble magic directly cast by immense magic being. That big-breasted Emine shouting, even she can’t resist!]
RiceCookerMan report heard well.
Since maritime clan salamander gained gate utilization authority, besides Octopus King, all maritime clan attacks like this.
Using limit-break artifacts, level-less creature traits, or overwhelming magic send magical effect things attack.
Still me and RiceCookerMan physically blocking bubbles possible.
Just too many water drops.
[Save Princess first. I block here.]
“Radius same there. You!?”
Should have made fly long ago.
But agree that.
Now see blue-tinted bubbles not explode approach me, red-tinted exploding.
Blue bubbles even attacked only crushed, not pop.
[Explode red bubbles, green or yellow come out unknown. Blue careful become like that.]
[20…… •Save.]
CatMan eyes wide blue bubble on face, front paws neck crazy talk.
Buy corn frost later, bastard.
“Hey, you. Got it.”
Instead attack red bubbles pop, nearby blue bubbles chain explode too.
“Kyaaaa.”
RiceCookerMan surely protecting prone Fairy Princess from bubbles.
Then RiceCookerMan.
[Princess, please safe.]
“Ri, RiceCooker!”
RiceCookerMan pushes crouching pushing bubbles with flower pot Fairy Princess under me.
For loyal spirit RiceCookerMan outrageous, but emergency.
Then Fairy Princess bounces bed pass to me.
“You, you okay.”
“Yes. RiceCooker, cat, dragon.”
Princess crying, first wiped tears.
Magic rises midst this.
RiceCookerMan crushing blocking bubbles, lid steam prevent advance, placed princess behind me entrance.
Brief wonder how not drop flower pot, but anger first.
What wrong this child attack even kid.
“Dragon and cat! And that, that grandma. Save.”
Grandma bit much.
“Got it. Wait outside bit. Dangerous here.”
Entrance dangerous too, told stay studio hallway bit.
“I, I want fight too.”
Now door opening key.
“Grrrrr, aang, aang!”
Baby dragon head dominated blue bubble floating air suffering.
Immediately snatched baby dragon brought entrance side, blue bubbles seem block airway.
“Th-this how.. ……. Ah?”
Conveniently entrance shoe cabinet drink tray I placed.
Bought various drinks, some paper straws some still grooved plastic straws.
Wait this perfect.
Straw pierces bubble touch Yong-gae beak.
“779, 77.”
Then Yong-gae no more bark, suffering expression relaxes.
Simply straw pierced bubble became airway.
This it.
This salamander bastard.
Underestimated this world’s light industry level?
But blue bubbles normally allow breathing in water national rule.
Instead steal air.
Similar to previous king slime incident, but more indiscriminate massive soap foam.
“Numbers worth. Wait.”
RiceCookerMan electronic so.
Only need rescue CatMan and Nightmare Queen.
Nightmare Queen holding reverting original form.
Closer Nightmare Queen, before charging through foam threw straw first.
Not reach.
Paper straw, damn.
“Come closer can bite this.”
“Worried? But this too big thick.”
Paper straw talk.
Of course straw thick, figure size reverted Nightmare Queen waist thickness, big for mouth or nose.
Baby dragon chick size mouth head big roughly breathable straw seem.
“Please save that cat gentleman first. I’m fine.”
“Really?”
“This foam not physically block airway, magic prevent breathing, I some resistance.”
“Got it.”
Seem urgent, pushed aside Nightmare Queen trying say line, grabbed cat jumped bit straw in mouth.
[Hek, kek.]
“Open mouth CatMan. Bite this, livable go land yourself.”
[Your tough raising always boils me.]
Bluff bit.
Thus rescued CatMan, last special coffee bottom stained plastic straw specially to Nightmare Queen.
Flat straw for paper cup still circulatable eco era.
Pushed by paper straw era when meet again unknown, brought few more lucky.
‘That bit big too?’
Mouth wide open seem no need bite straw.
Uncomfortable look but queen want probably.
Mine eaten.
“Huu, hu. Feels alive.”
“Said resistance but look hard. Mind spare insects?”
“Need show kind woman more favor. Believe not flee after suck vitality?”
Too transparent answer absurd.
Bit touched.
“Try hard sleep with me once.”
“No!”
“Ah, sorry. Lady words bit…!!
“Keep trying sleep!”
Seduction even now.
“First back evade.”
“I can fight but contained magic too huge.”
“This not seem destroy attack.”
“Careful.”
Showed straw.
“Fine.”
Plastic can save world.
Blue bubbles float above approach me, straw in mouth charged.
Peng peng! Peobeng.
Peobeobeobeobeobeng.
Continuous gunfire-like roars, breaking through not impossible, succeeded break through bubble-filled room to balcony.
Red bubbles exploding damage stamina but not big.
Scattered few green bubbles, white, yellow— not touch effect unknown.
Battlefield narrow such effects.
Respond bubbles gathering beyond window. Plugged cord.
“Taste electronics industry.”
With window gap, took limit-break fan near microwave.
Then ultra strong wind cast.
Then all kinds bubbles clump chain explosions.
<20 COMBO>
<30 COMBO>
Red bubbles explode push blue bubbles fan wind caught clump, bubbles three+ particles clump.
Peobeobeobeng.
Blue bubbles too start exploding.
“This it.”
Nightmare Queen, Yong-gae, CatMan three still head blue bubbles simultaneous headbutt?
Plus combo refreshing beyond.
<Water magic aptitude +20>
<Water magic aptitude +30>
Per combo water magic aptitude rising.
This magic aptitude thing only hit per magic 100.
But bubbles pop rising steadily, quite honey.
This also that guy’s water magic caused leak seem, anyway slots 160.
Water magic training go hard.
[Kek. Fur all flying man.]
“Oh, clothes stripping?”
“To bathroom evade.”
Ultra strong wind blows shoes wallpaper too.
<Resist seduction level increases>
But unlike just fur flying CatMan, Nightmare Queen subtly bra strap loosened herself I saw.
I witnessed real level up message say so.
<Water Dilution LV1>
Increases quantity.
Put items with quantity effect multiplies more.
And bursting bubbles strange skill born.
202 did makeup first time long.
Enough pocket money buy king crab, position repay too.
‘Satisfactory gift?’
No plan treat as Dol-soe come when call, but comes when call, each time face all embarrassing situations gentlemanly respond.
In room talk dolls, fight cat, swear RiceCookerMan, imitate dog bark baby voice seem.
Believe acting.
“Huu, today what game again. Uh.”
Today mobile game? Boogle boogle sounds peng peng combo sounds, but noise-wise not louder than herself headbutting want die.
‘Hole really sorry. Oppa. Accidentally saw twice.’
Not enough drill wall, even patching entrusted, because hole stared cracks too.
How repay that guilt beyond grasp.
If caught maybe attempt agreement not report.
Now really use bathroom sorry level.
“01.”
“……Uh? Headache person.”
“Yeees? No, that there.”
Such 203 entrance front, child girl mouth holding something.
Brief open door worry bubbles jump, Joo-heon passed paper straw.
But 202 eyes mouth holding somehow cigar-like.
“Huu. Ha.”
Inhaling too?
“N-no smoking. Kids.”
“What that?”
202 startled.
Now see paper straw.
‘Think, that tiny kid no way smoke cigar. That too entrance.’
Look closely, as kids do, chewing straw mouth.
Then rather taught young child bad word like cigarette.
Heart shrinks.
“But you, who? Why here?”
Light green hair girl pointed 203 said.
“This man wife!”
“Wh, what?”
‘Among water magic, one of few with explosion power known. Records of people long clashing maritime clan before.’
<Bubble Bomb>
Maritime clan crab demon origin magic technique. Various attributes overlay possible. Air attribute allow breathe water, water attribute make maritime clan warriors active land too.
Incoming blue bubbles water attribute seem.
“Interesting technique.”
Explained, Nightmare Queen tone didn’t know.
“Send magic to otherworld attack. Possible? You couldn’t.”
“Yes, I couldn’t.”
Whale belly transport octopus unexpected attack.
Bubble magic attack without straw party wipe.
Anyway got Bubble Bomb.
“Aang!”
Yong-gae too learned Bubble Bomb? Yawn mouth make beads spit.
Fire instead water drops. That guy too.
“Watch house bit. Place go.”
“Where?”
“Retaliation attack. This salamander bastard leave alone no end.”
Water attacks keep coming, not endure nature.
Fish and water, suppress is salt.

Not hypermarket mid-size mart bleach sweep, bought buckets put, dissolve sea weed, new skill <Water Dilution> use.
Poured into gate.
