Exploring Growth and Friendship in the Library

"The Library Legend" But it's a secret! So, what you're saying is… the Bubblegem shards appear whenever you defeat those evil Blobs? Yeah, I think that's right… Then again, I'm not sure how it works. To be honest, I don't really know! Really? So, they can answer anything? That's what I'm saying! If you push a book in the library so it drops on the other side of the shelf, a wise person will appear and answer any questions that you might have! But it doesn't happen every time… only when the book falls and doesn't make a sound... What? Wow! A wise person in the library? And they'll really answer all of your questions? Huh? Wow! So, this is the library? Shh! Purple! You have to speak quietly in the library! Is this the place? Oh, wise person… You scared me! Purple? Don't you know it's common practice to be quiet in a library? Sorry… Huh? So… you already know about them, don't you? - What? - I'm talking about Purple and Red. I mean they're a little strange, right? I don't think they're… human, if you know what I mean. Huh? Wha— No, I-I really don't know what you're talking about. Yay! Oh, wise person… - do Blobs drop Bubblege— - Not fair! I was going to go first! What's with him? Let me introduce myself. I'm Green Leaf from the Stingray Kingdom. You're a mermaid princess too? Wow… I'm first in line to succeed Whitegold as the new queen. Hello, everyone! Nice to meet you, I'm Stings! I decided to test him to see why you guys would want to be hanging around a human but he was rather sercretive. Wow! The 'wise person of the library' is a mermaid princess just like us? Great to meet you, Green! Hold on. I'm the one who's going to be queen, okay? I've already collected this many Bubblegem shards! Well, I can get that much if I catch a few more Blobs, you know? As I thought… You're clueless. You two don't even know the Bubblegem's process. W-What? Bubblegems only appear after you've proven to have grown mentally. It doesn't appear just because you battled some Blobs. - 'Grow mentally?' - 'Grow mentally?' That's truly impressive… I can't believe she managed to gather so many Bubblegem shards. If I take that away from her… I'll be able to regain my strength faster than I thought. Now, let's see… Garden Eels that can come out of anywhere and hide in any space… Go forth! It doesn't matter how smart you are, Princess. All I have to do is the unexpected. Green! I got 3 math problems right on the last test but this time I got 4 right! That means that I've grown, right? What are you talking about? This is what it means to grow, you know? Take a look. I think I've grown all the way up to here! That isn't what it means to grow mentally! Fine. I'll give you an example. You can try deepening your friendship… That would also be considered 'growing mentally.' Oh, okay! I get it now. Yeah, so do I! Look, our friendship is growing! I guess, they didn't get it after all. Say 'ah'! One for Red and one for me. Green! Are you sure about what you told us earlier? Nothing is happening even though we've deepened our friendship! That's right! I told Red that she's pretty more than 100 times today, you know? Do you really think that a fake friendship like that is going to help your mental growth? - Huh? - What did you say? Purple, look… you're the one responsible for scattering the Bubblegem… yet you didn't even try to fix what happened. You have no sense of responsibility, so you don't deserve to be queen. As for Red… what kind of a queen do you think you'll be? You didn't even study the basics of how Bubblegems are created, did you? In comparison… I'm different from you guys. I've been studying and preparing my hardest to become the next queen since I was a little kid. There's no way that you'll ever be on the same level as me, okay? I swear… Who does she think she is? Was I just too honest with them? The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Why is she even going to school if she's so great? Oh, that's right! She has to show off! She might act like a robot, but she doesn't seem like a bad person. Well, she does have a point, you know? I was acting really irresponsibly. I wonder if she hates me… She should be at the library now, right? I should go and ask her we can be friends! - It's worth one last shot! - Okay. I've been wondering about something. You see, there's… there's a kid who's way smarter than me… but I don't think she likes me very much even though I want to be friends with her… I just want to know how I can get her to be my friend. Fine. I'll tell you the answer. The thing is… If the gap is too wide, it can be difficult to become friends. I think Princess Purple's question is more about... I know. But don't forget… we're all competitors up here. Blobs? It's a Blob! Green is in danger! Hyah! Bubble Time Stop! Green! Are you okay? You guys… Where is the Blob? Bubble Bubble… Dia Change! Dia Green! Transformation complete! Screen On! Huh? You're a human… How are you moving inside the Time Stop? It's probably because of this bracelet. Leo! It's so narrow that I can't spread my wings... Red! Hyah! Bubble Sparkle! Hyah! Bubble Sparkle! Hey, where did they go? Purple! It's no use just randomly attacking them. Perfect. I've managed to figure out their pattern. Follow me! I need you to attack exactly where I indicate! To your 12! And 3!… And 4! What? Aw, whatever! Bubble Sparkle! Purple… Following my data has a much higher chance of hitting them than your thoughtless attacks ever would! The thing is… I didn't really understand what you were telling me… What? Okay, I see… I'll break it down for you then. To the right… over there! Hyah! - Woohoo! I hit it! - To the left! Now right! And here! And there! Leo! Red! Bubble Sparkle! Bubble… Sparkle! - Ready guys? - Screen On! Follow me! - Bubble Sparkle! - Left! Right! Oh, no, we're trapped… - Now what do we do? - Try to hold on everyone! It keeps closing in on us! Keep going… Try to hold them off! There must be… There must be an answer here! But the books… They're all mixed up! Green! Now what do we do? I think the leader of the Blobs is outside the library! The thing is… we can't get to the door safely… It seems that my knowledge is useless. I can't find the answer. Awesome! You're so incredible, Green! So, we just have to get outside, that's it? Well, that's simple! Bubble Pang! Hey, guys! Help me up! If there's no answer, then we'll make one! Hyah! Let's head for the door! Run! Hiyah! Clean Bubble! Woohoo! We did it! That was pretty good, Purple. I now realize that answers and data aren't the only way to do things. Forgive me for looking down on you guys… I'm sorry. We defeated them thanks to your info! I'm so glad that I made a smart new friend like you, Green! As for me, I'm going to start studying! You'll help me, right? Wow! - A Bubblegem shard! - A Bubblegem shard! So that's what a Bubblegem shard is! That's right. And now you know… what it means to grow mentally. Come on… let's go clean up the library. What? All of that? Don't think you've won just yet. The sea is a big place, and the darkness is deep indeed.
