People are in Arknights and becoming Griseo at the beginning

"Alas... As long as you are happy."

It must be admitted that Bianka's words did convince everyone present. After all, they more or less understood the style of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Well, so don't think too much, Zofia. I may not be good at other things, but leave the fighting to me," Bianka said, smiling softly at Zofia.

Hearing this, Zofia raised her eyebrows slightly, took a few steps forward to Bianka's side, and then said "unhappily", "Huh, at your age, you should call me sister when you are with Maria."

Although the two began to call each other by their names when their relationship became close, Zofia didn't think there was anything wrong at that time because Bianka was more stable.

But now, for some reason, Zofia felt unhappy after her kindness was rejected and couldn't help "picking thorns."

"...Heh~ Yes, yes, Sister Zofia, thank you for worrying about me this time," Bianka was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said. While speaking, she stood up, helped the girl to the stool beside her, and asked her to sit down.

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

Looking at Bianka's "serious" look, Zofia finally couldn't help laughing, and then teased her jokingly.

After hearing Zofia's joke, Bianka shook her head helplessly and then replied with a smile, "Then I'll have to ask Sister Zofia to bear with me in the future."

After that, after joking with Zofia, Bianka seemed to remember something, turned her head to look at Maria, and then asked:

"Since Zofia is here, can you ask Maria to go to the store last time to buy some desserts?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Maria, who was a little distracted, was stunned at first, and then she reacted and replied, "Of course, Bianka. Sister Zofia, what do you want to eat? Master Kowal, what about you?"

Although Maria didn't quite understand how the topic of the two suddenly turned to herself, it didn't prevent her from agreeing to Bianka's request, and even agreed to Bianka's request with a little excitement in her heart.

You know, this is the first time Maria has heard a request from her friend since she met Bianka.

It was so rare... She even felt that it was a once-in-a-century opportunity.

"We old guys don't need it. We are already past the age of eating snacks. You guys can eat." Hearing this, Kowal looked up at the expressions of his two old friends and answered for them.

"For me, let's just eat the same ones as last time..."

...

After listening to the tastes that Bianka and her aunt talked about, Maria left the tavern with a smile on her face.

"..."

Seeing someone's back leaving, Bianka and Zofia shook their heads helplessly.

Because they found that their friends and children were really easy to fool. It can be said that their minds were very simple...

"It seems that I still have to teach Maria about this later. Well, Bianka, you are so "stiff" to send people away. Is there something wrong?"

After sighing, Zofia moved her eyes to the person next to her. At the same time, after hearing what Zofia said, several old guys present also looked over curiously.

"There is no other way. After all, I don't lie, so I can only use this method." Hearing this, Bianka shrugged lightly and said helplessly.

"As for sending people away, I want to tell you the truth so that you can feel at ease."

That's right, after careful consideration, Durandal planned to tell Zofia and the others about Sakura's existence.

As for why she didn't tell Maria, it was because there was no need... Telling it would make people worry and afraid. And she didn't know what to say to this friend.

"Hmm?"

Looking at the puzzled Zofia in front of her, Bianka no longer kept her in suspense and slowly explained:

"You also know that the Chamber of Commerce is targeting me now, but if they can't get rid of me through the competition, they will definitely do it in secret."

"If it is a direct assassination, I am not afraid. But I am afraid that they will attack Maria and you."

Speaking of this, Durandal looked at the serious expressions of everyone in the tavern, and then continued:

"So, I asked a friend who happened to pass by here to protect you in secret. Don't worry, she is very strong."

"I see, this is why you sent Maria away." Zofia did not comment on Bianka's actions because her focus at the moment was not on this point.

"Well, Maria is different from you. She is not mature enough. If you tell her some things, she will worry. And I haven't thought about how to say it..." Hearing this, Bianka nodded gently and then said her thoughts without hiding anything.

"Well, don't think too much. Now that I know, I will pay attention to this aspect recently. You should continue to let go and win the championship."

After listening to Bianka's words, Zofia snorted, patted her shoulder, and said seriously with a smile.

Suddenly, Vogelweide who had been drinking on the side also spoke:

"Don't worry, little girl Bianka, since you have reminded her. Even if your friend is not there, we will protect Maria's safety."

"Well, this time Old Weide is right."

"Well? What do you mean this time! I have always been right."

"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel in front of the little girl." Looking at the two people who were arguing again, Bald Marcin shook his head helplessly. Then he looked up at Bianka and said, "Just like what Vogelweide said, now that we know, we will definitely pay attention to this aspect. You just go ahead and do it."

"Well, thank you."

Looking at everyone in front of her, Bianka's beautiful blue eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

Except for some minor episodes caused by cognitive concepts sometimes, Durandal likes everyone here and the atmosphere of getting along here.

...

"I'm back! I bought desserts. Let's eat together."

After coming back with desserts and was in a good mood, Maria didn't realize what she had just missed...
