People are in Arknights and becoming Griseo at the beginning

Merry Christmas.

--------

"Of course, I know what I will face next." After listening to Maria's solemn words, Bianka's blue eyes flashed with helplessness.

Durandal was naturally clear about the concerns of her new friend. But for now, she didn't know how to explain it.

Because some things are not believed by others just because she says them. Just like when Griseo spoke before, Talulah and the others didn't believe it.

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

Unless Bianka performs one on the spot, while others don't believe it, she can't explain it clearly...

"Well, but..."

"Dongdong——"

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

Because the dishes ordered before have been brought in at this moment.

"Oh... Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's eat first. Bianka shouldn't eat much of our Kazimierz's dishes, so try it."

Looking at the dishes served on the table, Maria waved her hand helplessly, and then quietly introduced them to Bianka.

"Well, okay."

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

...

"How does it taste? I always think that the dishes in this restaurant taste great!"

Looking at Bianka chewing the food in small bites, Maria temporarily put away her solemnity, and then her eyes flashed slightly and asked expectantly.

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

Although the food she ate this time was not as delicious as Rita's in her memory, it did not prevent Durandal from praising it.

"Hehe, as long as you like it. Besides, I bumped into you first, Bianka." At this point, Maria felt a little embarrassed again.

After all, she had not forgotten her previous behavior of holding Bianka's hand and running.

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

Hearing this, Bianka shook her head gently and then explained with a serious expression.

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

Maria couldn't help laughing again when she heard Bianka's honest words.

At the same time, Maria might have roughly understood why she wanted to make friends with the person in front of her and even did not hesitate to do the rude and offensive behavior before.

Because Bianka really gave her the feeling of her sister Margaret. It was not because she thought they looked alike because of a mistake at the beginning... but a feeling.

Facts have proved that Maria's intuition is still very accurate.

As the time of contact gradually increased, she found that her new friend was really like her sister, a very dazzling person.

It can even be said that she was a bit like the noble knight full of ideals and firm will that Maria saw in the picture book story.

——————————————————

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

"..."

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

After being disturbed by the little episode of eating dinner, she now didn't know how to persuade Bianka.

"Heh~ Since you are still so worried, do you want to have a fight?" Looking at the girl next to her, Bianka showed a helpless smile and then patted her head gently and said.

In fact, if possible, Bianka herself didn't want to say this kind of "suggestion" that was like bullying a child. But unfortunately, there is really no less lethal way to prove it now.

If it were someone else, Bianka wouldn't even want to prove her strength because that was unnecessary in her opinion.

However, the girl in front of her was different.

Bianka didn't want to take the initiative to contact 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.

That's why Durandal didn't want her new friend to feel worried because of her "hidden secret."

"Eh!? Can we spar? But... my swordsmanship is not very good."

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

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

Looking at the girl in front of her with an unexpected expression, Bianka's blue eyes shone slightly, and she explained in a calm tone.

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

As the voice fell, Bianka stretched out her hand to Maria, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly to show a confident and brilliant smile.

"...Okay!"

Maria was slightly stunned when she saw Bianka's smile. It was not until a moment later that she recovered and gently held the slender but strong hand in front of her.

...

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

"Hehe, Sister Zofia... Good evening?"

Maria looked at the blonde Kuranta who stopped her in front of her, scratched her head gently, and smiled awkwardly and guilty.

"Didn't you say you would have dinner with me tonight? Who is this?"

Although Zofia was asking Maria, her eyes fell on Bianka who was standing beside her.

"This is my new friend, Bianka!" After Maria finished explaining to Zofia, she looked at Bianka and continued to say to her:

"This is my sister, Zofia, she is a very nice person."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Zofia."

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

"Well, nice to meet you. Maria, this child has caused you trouble."

Looking at the polite Bianka, 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 going to do so late?"

"Uh..."
