Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"Girl, you won beautifully. The guy on the other side is no match for you at all!"

Martin patted Maria's shoulder and said with a smile.

Young people, you need to give them some encouragement.

"But don't be complacent. After all, the opponent's strength this time is not that strong. You must strengthen your training."

After praising for a long time, Martin couldn't help but give some advice.

How should I put it, if Martin were to fight against the man Maria today, he felt that he could beat five of them.

"Hehehe, Uncle Martin, don't worry, I will definitely continue to win!"

Koval, who was checking his weapons and protective gear, also stood up and said proudly.

"See, Martin, my armor is of good quality. It doesn't even have any scratches on it."

"Come on, it's obviously the girl's own strength that's strong, what does it have to do with your armor?"

Martin said sarcastically.

Seeing that the two were about to start a verbal fight again, Maria was about to speak up to dissuade them...

"Maria!!!"

Suddenly, someone's voice came from outside the bar, calling Maria's name.

Then there was a loud bang, and the wooden door flew out almost sticking to the ground, hitting the wall of the bar hard, and then broke into two pieces with a click.

Seeing this scene, Beichen couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Wow, this way of opening the door is even more barbaric than mine. It turns out that the anime I watched before were all real. There really is such a way to open the door. I learned it.

"Alas!"

Maria gasped and quickly hid under the bar, burying her head very low like an ostrich, as if she thought that this would allow her to avoid Zofia.

"Zofia, be gentle, the gate has been changed several times this month."

Martin looked at the door that flew out and broke into two with some distress, sighed and continued.

"Oh, this is why I don't want to spend money to replace the automatic door. I can't stand it being broken all the time."

"It's okay, Uncle Martin. I'll replace the door for you with one that can't be broken by kicking. But now..."

Zofia's sharp eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the bar, and just looking at them made me feel a chill down my spine.

"What happened, Zofia? Why are you so angry?"

Fogwald, who was drinking nearby, asked with some confusion. Of course he knew that Maria went to participate in the knight competition, but he thought that Zofia had known about it for a long time.

"........"

Zofia didn't say anything, she just continued to look for Maria, and soon her eyes were focused on the bar.

"There it is, isn't it, Maria?"

"Alas!"

Maria's body couldn't help but tremble twice. Oh my god, are you so scared?

"What's her expression now?"

Maria asked quietly.

Beichen and Martin didn't dare to look away, they just moved their mouths and spoke.

"That's not good. I haven't seen her that angry since she threw that drunken knight out last time."

"Maria, I have some very unfortunate news for you. Zofia still has a smile on her face."

"That's even worse!"

Maria was ready to give up struggling.

"Koval?"

As she walked past Koval's table, Zofia noticed the weapons and armor on it.

"Hey, Lao Fu, come and have a drink. Did you say something bad about me just now? I have to make you drink until you're down today!"

Koval cleared the table in the blink of an eye and walked to Fogwald's side without blushing or beating his heart.

"Tsk, what a coward who runs away from the battlefield."

Fugwald shook his head and spoke.

"Then why don't you speak up for Maria, Old Fu!"

Koval questioned in a low voice.

"Huh? Me? I, I don't know what happened again! Seeing that Zofia is so angry, it's better not to say anything!"

At this time, Zofia was already leaning over the bar.

"Mary, Mary—what are you hiding from?"

"Uh, this...that..."

Seeing that she was discovered, Maria could only stand up from behind the bar, hesitating and unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Aren't you going to confess yet?"

Zofia crossed her arms and looked directly into Maria's eyes.

"Are you...hiding something from me? Even though I already know everything."

Sofia deliberately emphasized the three words "I know".

“Ah, hahaha….”

Maria was ready to play dumb to the end.

In fact, she didn't know how to answer, nor did she know how to explain this to Sofia.

Looking at Maria who was lowering her head, not knowing what to do, Zofia's heart suddenly softened and her tone was not so serious anymore.

"Ah... do you know what knightly competition means?"

Seeing that Maria did not answer her question, she just stood there with her head down, like a child who had done something wrong.

Although he is indeed just a child.

"Why didn't you discuss it with me?"

"Because, because Sister Zofia will definitely be angry."

Maria said embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Sofia was so angry that she laughed.

"Wouldn't I be even angrier if you didn't tell me? You kid, ah...of course I would be angry! Because you don't understand what you are facing at all!"

What you have to face, of course, is something completely opposite to what you have read in those knight novels before.

"Actually, I do understand a little bit..."

Maria was interrupted by Zofia before she could finish her words.

"........through your sister? Through the Brilliant Knight of Casimir, one of the youngest wonders of the Special? Yes, you know her well. After all, she is your sister."

Zofia held out her hand.

"But! You! Are! Not! Margaret!!"

"Woo! Don't, don't poke my head............."

Maria covered her head and kept begging for mercy. Looking at Zofia's gesture, Beichen always thought of someone familiar.

The kind that says, "If you keep pretending to be cool, I'll make you fly!"

"Beichen, you also know about this, right? No, why should I ask you? You must know. After all, I saw you on the news. You even went to watch Maria's game."

Damn it! How come this lousy reporter included me in the picture?
