About Me Being Picked Up by Tallulah for Adoption

"You should be happier, after all, it was the High Noon Knight who replaced your previous cafe video popularity."

Zofia said with a smirk, while Orson smiled awkwardly and said don't mess with me.

While the two were chatting, Maria came out of the study.

"Orson, Aunt?"

"Maria, are you going out, are you not training today?"

Zofia noticed that Maria seemed to be going out, and asked suspiciously.

"That... well, I'm sorry, Aunt, Orson. That man is- well"

Maria folded her hands together to apologize, and when she noticed the news in Orson's hand, her expression obviously became a little flustered, and then she left the room directly.

"Um……?"

Zofia and Orson looked at each other.

There are tricks! "I always feel that something is wrong with Maria... Is it my illusion?"

After all, she is Maria's "following knight", and she has learned a little bit about Maria through getting along with her during this period of time.So Orson felt a little strange about Maria's behavior just now.

"Well, maybe it's an illusion? I don't think it's much different from usual."

Zofia didn't take it too seriously, swiping her phone to check various news about the 'Noon Knight'.

Although Maria often went to the study abnormally these two days, Zofia didn't feel anything strange about this 'sister'.

"Did you know, Auntie, the phrase 'Is it an illusion? It must be an illusion' is usually FLAG?"

"Don't call me aunt... what do you mean?"

Zofia shook her ears in displeasure, then tilted her head and asked Orson.

"It means... In short, I don't feel relieved, so I'd better go and have a look."

Orson went to the entrance with some worries to look for Maria.

"Be careful on the road—well, it's going so fast."

Zofia turned around and found that Orson had gone, leaving only an empty room.

——Really, you really are a competent 'Little Knight'.

Zofia sighed softly in her heart, and then turned her attention to the hot new stars displayed on the phone.

"Although Orson will definitely not lose in terms of temperament, but he is really flawed in terms of height... Wait, Orson is still wearing a deacon uniform when he goes out, right?"

Zofia muttered to herself, and then seemed to realize something was wrong.

Because everyone has gotten used to Orson's status as a 'deacon' in the past two days, so Zofia didn't even notice the weirdness just now.

On the other side, Orson, who left the Linguang Mansion, sneezed, and then began to look for clues about Maria.

"Hmm... There are no traces around at all. Could it be that there is a means of transportation?"

Although one of Orson's tuning abilities is the ability to determine the location of a certain person, unless it is a special case, Orson will basically not use this skill on his friends around him, after all, it is more or less an invasion of privacy.

But also because of this, Orson has no trace of Maria at all at this time.He couldn't call her to ask where she was. After all, the root of Orson's initial feeling of 'strangeness' was that Maria seemed to be deliberately hiding something from him.

Since I can't find it... I might as well look for Uncle Martin first.

Orson has decided on the next target point, then activates the exploration ability 'low frequency', and after confirming that there is no one around the outline of the building, he controls the rest to move himself to the top of the building, moving quickly in the unobstructed low altitude of Casimir .

It didn't take long for Orson to arrive at his destination—the first time he met Maria, including the bar where Zofia came to find fault with him.

"Is Uncle Martin there?"

Orson walked into the bar and asked at the same time, while the bald old Johnny Silverhand in front of the bar put down the glass in his hand after noticing Orson.

"Hey, brother 'Silent Knight', why did you come here during the day?"

Bald-headed Martin was a little surprised by Orson's arrival. After all, from the short time they got along, Martin could feel that Orson was not the kind of guy who would come to the bar during the daytime on weekdays.

"Hey, Martin, are you comparing me with that kid in your mind right now?"

The old man Yasuofogg, who was lying on the table beside the drunken original war knight, raised his wine bottle and complained loudly.

"It's weird to hear this title now... After all, everyone is calling me 'Little Knight' now, so Uncle Fogg drank too much."

Orson greeted the old Yasuo with a wry smile.Originally, the relationship between Orson and this group of people was only at the level of a one-time relationship, but later because Orson came here several times to drag his aunt home after drinking too much, so he was more familiar with them after going back and forth. Networked a lot.

"Drink too much? Are you kidding, I didn't drink too much...!!"

"Ahaha...well, Uncle Martin, has Maria come here?"

Orson decided not to continue entangled with the old Yasuo, and turned to Martin to ask the business.

"Maria's child? You didn't come here today. Speaking of which, brother Orson, are you here to apply for a bartender job? Let's just say yes, I don't have the salary I can afford here."

Bald-headed Martin thought for a while and said that he hadn't seen Maria today, then he looked at Orson's deacon uniform and rubbed his chin.

"Application? I didn't..."

"Maria? That little girl has been kidnapped!"

Before Orson finished speaking, the elderly Yasuo on the side started yelling loudly.

"Ugh—what do you mean by abducting?"

Hearing the incredible answer, Orson hurriedly questioned the old war knight.

"It's literally! When the little girl came to the bar to repair things with Koval, I saw a competitive knight running over to invite the little girl! It seems to be a very famous guy... Hey, Martin, who is it? coming?"

The old Yasuo recalled for a few seconds, said that he couldn't remember, and then looked at the bald Martin.

"Well, it's the 'High Noon Knight', right? The young cavalier of the Sangster family."

Bald-headed Martin thought for a while, and said a name he had just heard from Zofia.

"The noon knight...was Maria the one he invited? Indeed, after all, Maria is so cute, so the knight who has come noon has vision!"

Orson thought for a few seconds, then said he understood.Although when she usually gets along with herself, Maria feels like a clumsy engineering girl.But in fact, Maria is the princess of the ancient aristocratic 'Linguang' family, and her appearance is good enough to be worthy of this title.

But Orson's guess was directly refuted by the old warrior knight.

"You are stupid, boy! How could that child of Maria appear out of nowhere... No, the Sangster family is indeed very large-but this is not the point! The point is, that child of Maria How could the child be abducted by another man!"

The old Yasuo threw his wine glass on the table and yelled loudly. He thought that the guy named Orson in front of him would understand a little bit of what he said.

But the old Yasuo still underestimated how simple this guy was.

"...?"

Orson frowned, not sure why the elderly Yasuo was so sure that Maria would not be with a handsome and well-bred nobleman like the High Noon Knight, just like a handsome guy incarnated as an 'orthodox knight'.

After all, from Orson's personal perspective, he has never done anything to increase Maria's favorability, and he is just a "follower knight".

"Forget it, anyway, I'm still a little worried. Thank you, Uncle Martin, Uncle Fergus. Then I'll go to that Sangster's house first."

Orson decided not to think about it, he was coming to the mansion of the Sangster family, and then left the bar with a wave.

"Hey... Do you want to take a gamble, Martin? If I offer 500, Maria will take the initiative."

The old Yasuo took a sip of beer after seeing Orson leaving.

"Then I'll bet our little knight will be enlightened before then."

Bald Martin smiled and went back to work.

Maria would mutter something about the job at hand every time she came to work in the bar, and the kid looked like she was going to marry a lathe toolbox.

But everyone gradually discovered that the last few times when Maria came to the bar, although the maintenance work at hand was still clean and tidy, the words she muttered changed a lot unknowingly.

From the skills of repairing machines, he gradually became a boy who temporarily lived in his home and was currently his own knight and aunt's deacon.

Even though the old combat knights and old retired knights in the bar are a group of confused old guys, but even so, they still know very well that this child Maria seems to be in love, and the person she is looking forward to is just from Some shorty left in the bar.

"Speaking of which, Martin—was that fellow Orson wearing a deacon uniform just now?"

After a while, the elderly Yasuo asked the bald Martin a little belatedly.

"Yeah, I thought he was applying for a job as a bartender."

"Well... I've been to Sangster's house once before, and their house is characterized by the presence of many deacons, and the style of their clothes is quite similar to that boy Orson's just now."

"——" "—"

After a brief silence, the two smiled at the same time:

I feel like I can have fun watching it.

Following the information he got from the bald Martin, Orson soon came to the mansion of the Sangster family. He didn't even need to enter the house. Just by looking around from a distance, Orson could intuitively feel that the family was Casimir must have had a lot of status.

After all, this house is already bigger than Linguang's mansion in terms of land area alone, and even Orson, who knows nothing about architecture, can sense that the decoration style of this building is so extravagant that the naked eye can see it. All the places I saw were carefully decorated.

"Wow... that's incredible."

On the edge of the room, Orson lamented the scenery he saw in front of him. It could almost be said that he had seen the most luxurious building since he came from the northern border to Checheng. It is estimated that the castle of the Grand Duke of Baikal could barely compare.

"So what is Maria's purpose here..."

Orson frowned and thought, if it was really the Noon Knight who invited Maria, who is also a 'noble knight', to strengthen his relationship, it would not be incomprehensible.

After all, this can be regarded as the orthodox meaning of 'good match', right?

Although it is understandable, Orson has some inexplicable resistance to this conjecture, but he himself does not know the origin of this resistance.

"Forget it, what's the use of thinking so much here, why don't you take the initiative to ask what's going on?"

Orson shook his head, deciding not to think about the mess.

After all, he is now Maria's 'following knight', so he is still qualified to sneak into the territory of the 'Noonday Knight' Sangster family, right?

Thinking so, Orson walked to the entrance, ready to ring the doorbell.

But before his fingers touched the doorbell, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.A middle-aged woman dressed as a standard maid, not the version of the coffee shop with two-dimensional elements, came out of the mansion and grabbed Orson.

"Wow!?"

Orson was taken aback. He was just going to come to find someone. Are these people going to arrest him! ?

"Wow, you look like an idiot. You dare to be late even at this time today, I don't think you need to ask for the year-end bonus!"

Before Orson could say anything, the middle-aged maid suddenly spoke with a tone of reproach.
