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

However, before she could finish her words, a slender white finger placed in front of her lips, stopping her.

"Shh, stop thinking about it. Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"But……"

Faced with Bianca's actions, Maria was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to say something.

"There's nothing to worry about. Maria, you took me out to play before. This time, I'll take you."

Bianca interrupted Maria and smiled softly at her, then took her hand gently but forcefully and led her forward.

"Eh……"

Maria, who was being led by the hand, was still a little unresponsive at the moment. However, even if she did react, she did not resist Bianca's slightly forceful move at all.

……

In this way, Maria was led by Bianca to a beautifully decorated cafe in a daze.

"Give me the menu, just order whatever you want to eat."

Bianca couldn't help laughing when she saw Maria, who still looked a little dizzy even after she sat down.

"Well... okay then."

Maria originally wanted to say something else, but after looking into Bianca's eyes that were full of smiles for a while, she finally compromised.

She took the menu with a helpless look on her face and started ordering.

Afterwards, until all the desserts were served, Bianca spoke again: "What happened in the tavern before was just a minor incident in my opinion. Don't take it to heart."

"I also know clearly what your elders mean, Maria. They are worried that I might be too strong and easily broken."

"I know that, but why don't you explain, Bianca? You're obviously not like that..."

Hearing this, Maria nodded slightly at first, and then said with some doubt.

"As for why I didn't explain, I simply felt it was unnecessary. If some things are not revealed, even Maria would be suspicious, let alone them."

"Do you remember the scene when we first met?"

In response to Maria's questions, Bianca patiently answered them.

"..."

Hearing this, Maria recalled how she had made a fuss when she first met Bianca. She blushed with embarrassment and whispered, "Okay, stop talking! I won't dwell on such trivial matters anymore."

"Heh~ Let's change the subject. Why don't you try something? I think the desserts in this shop are pretty good."

"Uh-huh."

ps: Let's see if I can update three times today. I didn't grasp the rhythm well, and I feel a little annoyed that I haven't found it. I wrote a detailed outline, but when I wrote it specifically, it didn't feel right, and what I wrote was different from what I thought.

Urge them a little.

Chapter 33: The format and opponent of the next game

A few days had passed since the last time I had afternoon tea with Maria. At this moment, in the tavern of Bald Martin—

It was a sunny afternoon and because night had not yet fallen, the entire pub looked a little empty, with only a few acquaintances sitting there.

At this moment, Bianca was discussing the custom-made armor with the old craftsman Koval, who was sitting and drinking.

In fact, if the competition time span is relatively short, Dai E might give up on building such a useless set of armor that belongs to him.

However, the competition system of the knight competition is there, and Bianca will probably have to wait for a long time before winning the championship. It would not hurt to use this time to get a set of armor.

After all, as mentioned before, the armor she is wearing now, no matter how well it fits her, is not hers.

"boom--"

However, just as people in the tavern were chatting and drinking, the wooden door of the tavern was suddenly opened with force, making a loud noise.

"..."

In an instant, all five people looked towards the door, and the tavern fell into silence for a while.

"Hey, Sofia...Sister, why are you here?"

After seeing who was coming, Maria was slightly stunned, and then she asked in surprise.

The person who spoke right after Maria was the owner of the tavern, Bald Martin. He looked at his tavern's shaky door, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes and said:

"Zofia, my door...be gentle, and remember to pay for it later."

"Uh, don't worry, I will compensate you." After listening to what Bald Martin said, Zofia turned around and looked at the door behind her, coughed lightly, and said with a trace of guilt in her eyes.

"So, what's making you so anxious, Zofia? The last time I saw you being so reckless was a long time ago." Koval, the old craftsman sitting next to him, asked his question with some curiosity.

"It's not that urgent, right? I just got some news, and this time I'm here to find Bianca." Faced with Koval's question, Zofia had no intention of hiding it and said it directly.

"Sister Zofia, are you looking for Bianca? Is there any news about the competition?" After hearing that it was about her friend, a hint of curiosity flashed in Maria's golden eyes, and then she asked.

Hearing this, Zofia nodded to her child first, then looked at Bianca and said:

"The format and opponent for your next match have been announced. It will be a squad battle, and your opponent will be the Snow Heel Knights."

"..."

After hearing what Zofia said, Bianca's expression did not change at all, and there was no trace of surprise.

weird.

As for the reason for the strange look in his eyes, it was of course because of this extremely familiar arrangement.

Dai E knew that there must be something fishy going on in his next game, but he didn't know what was going on. Who knew that now, it looked so familiar.

And she had almost guessed who these senior executives were going to send to deal with her.

But to be honest, Bianca felt a little underestimated.

Although she had concealed her weakness in terms of strength, she thought that the strength she had shown before was not too weak. How come she had no changes and now had these people as her opponents?

"You don't seem surprised?"

After noticing Bianca's calm expression, Zofia raised her eyebrows slightly and asked curiously.

"Well, what you said is expected. So, how many people are there in this little battle?" Bianca nodded to Zofia who looked curious.

"A five-on-five team battle is not good for you..." When she said the second half of the sentence, Zofia's tone suddenly became inexplicably and strangely uncertain...

"So, Zofia, you came to me because you were worried about this?"

"Well, I came here because I was worried that you didn't have enough suitable teammates."

As a relatively straightforward person, Zofia had no intention of concealing her purpose.

"So that's how it is. But I appreciate your kindness. Don't bother Zofia with this matter. I can handle it by myself." Hearing this, Bianca gave Zofia a gentle and confident smile and replied.

After hearing Bianca's answer, Zofia's mouth twitched involuntarily, and then she said in a tactful tone:

"...Are you planning to go on the field alone? Although you are indeed very strong, it would be safer if you have teammates."

Honestly speaking, after experiencing and seeing this so many times, Zofia was not surprised at all about Bianca's choice this time. It could even be said that she was not at all shocked.

"Yes, I also think what Sister Zofia said is right. Although you are very strong, Bianca, this is a team battle after all. It is safer to have teammates."

After listening to her aunt's words, Maria nodded in agreement.

As for the other old people in the tavern, although they didn't say anything, their attitudes were almost the same as Zofia and the others.

"..."

This time, Bianca didn't answer in a hurry. She just tilted her head slightly and looked at Zofia and the others with a strange look.

"What's wrong?"

After noticing the strangeness in her friend's eyes, a hint of doubt quickly emerged in Maria's beautiful golden eyes.

"This game was originally aimed at me..."

After organizing her words, Bianca slowly asked a soul-searching question: "Why do you think the Business Federation would let me have teammates?"

"..."

Bianca's short words caused all the other people present to fall into a strange silence.

Then, without waiting for them to speak, Bianca spoke again: "Based on what I know about those people, if I go to look for my teammates in the next game, then something will definitely happen to my 'teammates'."

At this point, Dai E paused for a moment, then smiled confidently and continued:

"So, instead of asking teammates to get involved and causing trouble for others, it's better to just fulfill their wish. Since they are so confident, why not give them this opportunity and let them try?"

"..."

After Bianca said this, coupled with her confident and dazzling smile, the tavern became even quieter.

After a while——

"Hahaha, young people are full of energy. Now that you have the determination and unshakable faith, just do it."

"Yes, young people nowadays are getting better and better. They are nothing like us when we were young."

"Oh...as long as you are happy."

ps: Please give me some votes to urge the payment.

Chapter 34: Explain the details

"Oh...as long as you are happy."

I have to admit that Bianca's words did convince everyone present. After all, they also knew more or less about the style of the Business Federation.

"Well, don't think too much about it, Zofia. I may not be so good at other things, but just leave the fighting to me." Bianca smiled softly at Zofia.

Hearing this, Zofia raised her eyebrows slightly, took a few steps forward to Bianca's side, and then said "unhappily": "Humph, you have no respect for your age... At your age, you should call me sister if you want to be with Maria."

Although the two had started calling each other by their names when they became closer, Zofia didn't think there was anything wrong with it because Bianca acted more stable at that time.

But now, for some reason, after her kindness was politely rejected, Sofia felt inexplicably unhappy and couldn't help but "pick trouble".

"...Ha~ Yes, yes, Sister Zofia, I'm sorry to trouble you for your concern this time." After hearing what Zofia said, Bianca was stunned at first, and then said with a smile.

While speaking, he did not forget to stand up, help the person to a stool beside him, and let her sit down.

"Pfft, that's more like it... Then I'll accept you as my sister~"

Seeing Bianca's "serious" look, Zofia finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and then she started to tease her jokingly.

After hearing Zofia's joke, Bianca shook her head helplessly.

Then he smiled and replied: "Then I'll have to ask Sister Sofia to take care of me from now on."

After joking with Zofia, Bianca seemed to remember something, turned her head to look at Maria, and asked:

"Since Zofia is here, can you please go to the store we visited last time and buy some desserts, Maria?"

"Hmm?" Maria was a little distracted when she heard this, and then she responded: "Of course, Bianca, Sister Zofia, what do you want to eat? What about you, Master Koval?"

Although Xiao Maju didn't quite understand why the topic suddenly turned to her, it didn't stop her from agreeing to Bianca's request, and she even agreed with a little excitement in her heart.

You know, this is the first time Maria has heard such a small request from her friend Bianca since she knew her.

It was so rare...it even gave her a feeling that it was a once-in-a-century opportunity.

"There's no need for us old guys. We're already past the age for snacks. You guys eat your meals." Hearing this, Koval looked up at the expressions of his two old friends and answered for them.

"As for me, let's just talk about what happened last time..."

……

After listening to what Bianca and her aunt said about the taste, Maria left the tavern with a smile on her face.

"..."

Seeing someone leaving, Bianca and Zofia shook their heads helplessly.

Because they found that their friends and children were so easy to deceive. It can be said that their minds are very simple...

"It seems that I will have to teach Maria about this later. Well, Bianca, why are you so "stiff" in sending people away? Is there something wrong?"

After sighing, Sofia shifted her gaze to the person next to her.

At the same time, after hearing what Sofia said, the old guys present looked over curiously.

"There's no other way. After all, I don't lie, so this is the only method I can use." Hearing this, Bianca shrugged lightly and said in a helpless tone.

"As for sending them away, I just wanted to give you, Sofia, a heads-up so you can feel more at ease."
