People are in the Ark, and they become Gray Shu at the beginning

"I know, but I have thought about this matter carefully. It is not a spur-of-the-moment decision... Besides, I am not weak, don't worry, Ma.

Leah."

Seeing Maria suddenly approaching, Bianca leaned back intentionally, a helpless smile appeared on her face, and then she began to explain in a voice.

"Ah... ahem, that's it."

After noticing Bianca's little movement of leaning back, Maria suddenly reacted, sat up straight, and coughed lightly a few times to cover up her "little rudeness".

"…Fuck! Bianca, how old are you today? If you participate in this kind of competition, you could get hurt or even seriously injured if you're not careful!"

After sitting back down, Maria's words suddenly changed, and she reminded him with an excited tone.

It can’t be said that Maria didn’t trust her new friend. The main reason was that, in her opinion… Bianca was too young, and looked to be in her early 20s at most.

It’s not that there is anything wrong with participating in the competition at this age. After all, the miracle of “the youngest” had already appeared in the knight competition before the girl participated.

But the problem was that Bianca said it so easily and casually, so easily that it made Maria feel like she was participating in some simple and childish game.

Although Maria hasn't been involved in this aspect recently, because of her sister... she has some understanding of knight competitions.

It was because of this understanding that she knew that the knight tournament held every three years was not a child's play, but a cruel fight that could cause injuries or even serious injuries.

And as Bianca herself said before, this was an unfair, rigged fight.

After hearing Maria's reminder, Bianca raised the corners of her lips and gave her a faint smile, then explained helplessly:

"Calm down, there is a reason why I suddenly joined the competition. And I am confident enough."

After saying this, he reached out and gently patted a pony on the shoulder, silently comforting it.

"Huh? What's the reason?"

After being comforted by Bianca, Maria calmed down a lot. A hint of doubt flashed in her golden eyes, and her expression became a little curious.

"Because I want to help and protect those who need help here." When she said this, Bianca's beautiful blue eyes flickered with determination.

"Eh……"

When Maria heard this reason which was completely different from what she had imagined, she was slightly stunned. She was confused and puzzled.

However, regardless of Maria's reaction, Bianca's words continued.

"Like I said, I was just passing through here, and then I came to this city out of curiosity and life needs."

"Before coming here, I knew about the situation here and the ridiculous knight competition. Because I disliked it and even hated it, I naively decided to leave early at first."

Bianca paused for a moment, took a sip of water from the cup on the table, moistened her throat, and then continued:

"But when I really entered the city and saw many things with my own eyes, I changed my mind."

"My chivalry and my heart are telling me that I should help those in need here, protect them, open up a path for them, and give them the opportunity to choose!"

Bianca spoke of her choice with a twinkling light in her blue eyes. She exuded positive emotions such as determination and confidence, making her look radiant and glowing.

"..."

Staring at the glowing girl beside her, Maria fell into silence for a moment, and the private room gradually became quiet.

It was not until a moment later, when the atmosphere in the private room began to become strange, that Maria finally spoke again. This time, her expression and tone were more solemn than before.

"...Then, do you know what you will face next if you embark on this path?"

Although Maria was surprised and worried about participating in the knight competition, it was not completely irreversible. After all, it was possible to admit defeat in the competition, it was just a bit embarrassing.

But after Bianca said this, the whole meaning changed.

And these words also reminded Maria of someone, that is the champion of the last knight competition, the youngest miracle on the field, her sister Margaret Linguang.

But what happened to my sister in the end?

Margaret Linguang was labeled an "infected person" and expelled from Casimir, her own home.

Although Bianca was only a friend Maria had known for a short time, she still didn't want her friend to go through what her sister had done.

ps: Whenever I write something positive, I get stuck and it’s a bit awkward. I’m almost done with the story, and in the next chapter I’ll give Maria a little super goose shock.

And I was asked to write about Star Cat, but that's useless. Although the silly goose hates this competition, she won't kill innocent people. If she really borrows the power of the holy sword, then I can only say that with one punch, the entire arena and the surrounding area will probably be blown up.

Urge them a little.

Chapter 12 Invitation and Discussion

"Of course, I know what I will face next." After hearing Maria's solemn words, Bianca said with a hint of helplessness in her blue eyes.

Dai E was naturally aware of her new friend's concerns, but for now, she didn't know how to explain it.

Because some things really cannot be believed just because she says them. Just like when Gracie said something before, Tallulah and the others did not believe it.

What's more, her strength is indeed, in a sense, beyond the standard and beyond other people's cognition.

Unless Bianca performed one on the spot, otherwise, others would not believe her and she herself would not be able to explain it clearly...

"Well, but..."

"咚咚-"

Group: 5436593

Maria still wanted to say something more about Bianca's "relaxed" words, but she was interrupted before she could finish the sentence.

Because the dishes that were ordered earlier have already been delivered.

Group: 543659

"Oh... never mind, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat first. Bianca shouldn't eat much of our Casimir's food, so come and try it."

Looking at the dishes served on the table, Maria waved her hands helplessly, then quietly introduced them to Bianca.

"okay."

Hearing this, Bianca had to temporarily stop the topic and turned her attention to the dishes introduced by her new friend.

……

“How’s it taste? I always think the food in this restaurant tastes great!”

Looking at Bianca chewing her food in small bites, Maria temporarily put away her solemnity, then her eyes flickered slightly and she asked expectantly.

"It tastes great, thank you Maria for your hospitality." Bianca looked at the lovely Maria in front of her, a smile flashing in her blue eyes.

Although the food this time was not as delicious as Rita's in his memory, it did not stop Dai E from praising her.

"Hehe, as long as you like it. Besides, I was the one who bumped into you first, Bianca." Having said this, Maria felt a little embarrassed again.

After all, she had not forgotten her previous behavior of taking Bianca's hand and running away.

"No, I didn't look at the road carefully at that time, and I almost caused you to fall."

Hearing this, Bianca shook her head slightly, then explained with a serious expression.

"Pfft, okay, let's stop talking about this and continue eating."

Maria couldn't help but chuckle again as she listened to Bianca's honest words.

At the same time, Maria probably understood why she wanted to make friends with the person in front of her, even at the cost of doing such rude and offensive things as before.

Because Bianca really gave her the feeling of her sister Margaret Linguang. It wasn't because she had mistaken them at first and thought they looked alike... it was just a feeling.

It turns out that Maria's intuition is very accurate.

As the time of contact grew longer, she discovered that her new friend was really just like her sister, a very dazzling person.

It can even be said that some of them are like the noble knights who are full of ideals and firm will that Maria saw in picture books.

------------------

After dinner, the two did not stay in the restaurant for too long, but went outside again.

"..."

Looking at Bianca, who had finished dinner with a satisfied and calm expression, Maria's golden eyes flickered with complex light, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After being interrupted by the dinner incident, she now didn't know how to persuade Bianca.

"Hehe~ Since you are still so worried, do you want to have a sparring match?" Looking at the girl beside her, Bianca showed a helpless smile, then patted her head gently and said.

In fact, if possible, Bianca herself did not want to give such "advice" that was like bullying a child. But unfortunately, there was really no less lethal way to prove it.

Even if it were someone else, Dai E wouldn't even want to prove her strength, because in her opinion that was unnecessary.

However, the girl in front of him was different.

Bianca didn't want to approach Maria with a purpose, but since they met by coincidence today, she naturally wouldn't resist. She was willing to exchange sincerity for sincerity and make friends with such a person.

It is for this reason that Dai E does not want his new friend to feel worried because of his "concealment".

"Eh!? Can we spar? But... my swordsmanship isn't that good."

After hearing what Bianca said, Maria didn't even care about being patted on the head, and asked with a surprised expression.

"It's okay. It's not a formal duel. I just want you to feel at ease, Maria."

Looking at the girl in front of her with a surprised expression, Bianca's blue eyes flickered slightly and she explained in a calm tone.

"After all, there are many things that cannot be convinced by just talking."

As the words fell, Bianca stretched out her hand towards Maria, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly to reveal a bright smile full of confidence.

"……it is good!"

Maria was stunned when she saw Bianca's smile. It was not until a moment later that she came to her senses and gently held the slender but strong hand that was stretched out in front of her.

……

Then, as the two were on their way to find a venue or a training ground, they coincidentally met an acquaintance again.

"Hey, Sister Zofia...good evening?"

Maria looked at the blond Kuranta who stopped her, scratched her head gently, and smiled awkwardly and guiltily.

"Didn't you agree to have dinner with me tonight? Who is this?"

Although Zofia was asking Maria, her eyes were on Bianca who was standing nearby.

"This is my new friend, Bianca!" After Maria finished explaining to Zofia, she looked at Bianca and continued

:

"This is my sister, Zofia. She's a very nice person."

"Nice to meet you, Sister Zofia."

After listening to Maria's introduction, Bianca smiled slightly and took the lead in extending her hand towards Zofia.

"Well, it's nice to meet you. Maria, this kid is causing you trouble."

Looking at the polite Bianca, Zofia's eyes flashed with satisfaction. After retracting her scrutinizing gaze, she gently held her hand.

"Okay, Maria, you should explain to me. What are you planning to do so late at night?"

"Forehead……"

ps: Let’s see if I can update three times today, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Urge them a little.

Chapter 13 The Beginning of the Competition

Finally, under pressure from her aunt, Maria hesitated for a moment and then told everything.

"...Knightly competitions are not a joke. Are you really ready?" After knowing the whole story, Zofia turned her gaze to the side, seeing Bianca with a calm and steady expression.

"Although the decision was made in a hurry, we are indeed ready." Hearing this, Bianca gave Zofia a firm and confident look.

"In that case, how about Miss Bianca, instead of sparring with Maria, you can spar with me?" Looking at Bianca, who was neither humble nor arrogant and full of confidence, Zofia thought for a moment before speaking tentatively.

"After all, Maria isn't very proficient in swordsmanship."

Originally, Zofia didn't want to interfere in the affairs between the two children. But... after she saw Bianca's eyes just now, she suddenly changed her mind and wanted to test the girl in front of her.

She didn't know how long it had been since she had seen such a look, firm, confident, and extremely dazzling...

If Bianca really has the real talent, then Zofia wouldn't mind helping her in private.

If not, she could only think that she had made a mistake.

"Of course there is no problem, Miss Zofia. After all, this competition is just to make Maria stop worrying, that's all." After listening to Zofia's proposal, Bianca nodded slightly and agreed directly.
