I Became a Kindergarten Teacher for Monster Babies!-Chapter 290 Invisible

Alina stood up, dusting her skirt, and called out in her sweetest teacher voice, the one that always meant someone was in big trouble but she was still smiling.

"Boo~" she sang softly, her tone sweet as honey. "Where are you, my little gossip butterfly?"

No answer. Only the sound of the wind and faint giggling from somewhere behind the playground slide.

Alina crossed her arms. "Boo... I can hear you giggling."

The giggling stopped immediately. Then came a nervous whisper from behind the slide, "That wasn’t me! That was... the wind! Boo doesn’t giggle, Boo meditates!"

Alina stifled a laugh, pretending to be serious. "Meditates, huh? Then come out, oh wise and peaceful spirit."

A faint glow peeked out, then vanished again as Boo whispered, "The wise spirit is currently... invisible!"

"Boo."

Silence.

Alina sighed dramatically, putting her hands on her hips. "Alright then, I guess I’ll have to tell everyone that the cookies I saved for Boo will go to Sable and Drake instea...."

Before she could finish, there was a loud whoosh and Boo shot out from behind the slide so fast that even Drake gasped. "Cookies?! Boo is loyal! Boo confesses!"

The little ghost floated in front of her, glowing nervously as he pressed his tiny hands together. "Teacher, Boo didn’t lie! Boo just shared the truth creatively!"

Alina raised an eyebrow. "Creatively?"

"Yes!" Boo said, nodding quickly. "Boo added... imagination! Because news is boring without drama!"

Drake burst out laughing. "You mean you made it up!"

"I did not!" Boo said defensively. "I saw the hug! My eyes are certified gossip detectors!"

Luna crossed her arms. "And what did we learn about gossiping, Boo?"

Boo sighed heavily, his glow dimming a little. "That Boo shouldn’t tell stories that make Teacher blush."

Alina crouched to his level, smiling despite herself. "Exactly. And you definitely made me blush today."

Boo’s eyes went wide. "Really?!" he asked in pure excitement. "Then Boo’s mission was a success!"

Alina couldn’t hold back her laughter this time. She lightly poked his forehead. "You’re impossible."

Boo giggled, floating in a small circle around her. "Boo promises to behave now! Maybe. Probably. Not really."

The other babies groaned loudly, and Alina sighed, trying not to smile. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"And whom am I getting married to, exactly?" Alina asked, her tone half amused, half serious as she crossed her arms and looked at the glowing troublemaker floating in front of her.

Boo’s little face lit up like a lantern. "To the Principal, of course!" he declared proudly, spinning in the air with both arms raised as if announcing royal news. "Teacher and Principal, forever love story!"

Alina’s eyes widened so fast that even Luna stopped mid growl. "Boo!" she gasped. "Don’t spread such nonsense! If the Principal hears this, he’ll get angry!"

Boo shook his glowing head confidently. "No, no! He won’t get angry! He’ll be happy!" he said, grinning from ear to ear. "He already looked happy when you hugged him!"

"Boo..." Alina groaned, rubbing her forehead as she tried not to laugh. "You’re going to get me fired one of these days."

The little ghost puffed his cheeks. "Boo only tells truth from the heart!" he said, crossing his tiny glowing arms stubbornly.

"Truth from the heart?" Alina raised a brow. "You mean gossip from the hallway!"

Boo gasped dramatically, clutching his chest. "Teacher wounds me!" he cried, spinning in the air with fake heartbreak. "Boo just wants everyone to celebrate your love!"

"BOO!" Alina said firmly, though her lips were already twitching with laughter.

Boo froze mid air, his glow dimming slightly. Then, with a small pout, he floated closer. "Fine... Boo won’t tell anyone else," he mumbled, staring at the ground. "But Teacher, you and Principal did look cute."

Alina blinked, caught completely off guard. "What?"

Boo giggled mischievously and quickly zoomed away before she could scold him again, shouting over his shoulder, "Boo loves it! Boo believes in all gossips."

Alina sighed, covering her face with her hands as she tried not to laugh. "I swear that ghost will make me lose my mind," she muttered under her breath, while the rest of the children rolled on the grass laughing.

But she couldn’t help but wonder who had even taught Boo the word gossip in the first place. The way he used it, with that proud, confident tone, made him sound like a tiny professional reporter. Every time he shared his "gossips" he looked so serious, as if he were delivering the evening headlines.

She shook her head with a helpless smile, still amused at how creative he could be. Sometimes, she thought, Boo might actually grow up to run a newsroom instead of haunting one.

After playtime, it was time for the next subject, Moral Education. Alina clapped her hands gently, calling the babies to gather around. "Alright, everyone! Playtime’s over, let’s go back to class."

The groans were instant.

"Awww, already?" Drake whined, dragging his feet dramatically. "But I just caught Luna!"

"You didn’t!" Luna barked. "You fell on your face!"

"I slid gracefully," Drake argued.

Alina chuckled. "You can finish your argument after class," she said kindly, taking Sable’s little hand. "Come on, let’s go before Boo decides to start teaching moral lessons himself."

Boo gasped. "Boo can teach! Boo has morals! Maybe."

Everyone laughed as they made their way back inside.

After everyone settled down, Alina looked around the classroom. The once noisy classroom had grown quieter, though a few little whispers and giggles still floated through the air. Some tails were still swishing restlessly under desks, and Boo was pretending to meditate by floating cross legged in midair.

Vlad Jr., as always, sat perfectly upright. He took a small silk handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face elegantly, his every move graceful and princely. His pale cheeks were still a little flushed from running earlier, but he acted as if playing tag had been a royal ceremony. He even adjusted his collar before neatly folding the handkerchief again.

Drake, sitting beside him, whispered loudly, "Do you carry ten of those fancy napkins or what?"

Vlad gave him a regal glance. "It’s called hygiene, dear dragon."

Alina had to bite her lip to stop herself from laughing.

Once everyone was seated, she smiled and clapped her hands lightly. "Alright, little ones. Today’s moral education topic is honesty and truth."

Immediately, Boo gasped dramatically and floated a little higher. "Oh no," he muttered, hiding behind his book. "Boo feels personally attacked."
