In order to describe two-dimensionally packed cells in epithelial tissues theoretically, there have been developed several sorts of geometrical models. So far, in any attempt, pressures have not neatly been dealt with and curvatures of the cell boundaries have been even omitted through their approximations. Focusing on these quantities, we formulate a model with curvatures and vertices, and its algorithm is given for simulation. We demonstrate, by simulation, a typical time course of the bubbly
