Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"Sister, how long have you not been home?"

Even though she had just thrown herself into Margaret's arms and cried her heart out, Maria's eyes couldn't help but turn red the moment she opened the door.

"Your room is still the same. I clean it often... Ah, but it seems that I have sold all the tables and chairs."

Maria suddenly remembered this and said with an embarrassed smile.

"It's okay, Maria. Just seeing you guys makes me feel like I'm home."

Margaret habitually reached out her hand to touch Maria's head, and only then did she realize that Maria had grown so tall.

Maria also noticed this and leaned down to rub the top of her head against Margaret's outstretched hand.

"Hehehe, now I'm not shorter than my sister."

Gently stroking Maria's head, her soft golden hair passing through her fingertips, Margaret couldn't help but sigh.

"You tried really hard. I didn't have a chance to talk to you properly at the competition just now... I missed you so much, sister."

Maria's face suddenly turned red and she answered shyly.

"Hey, sister, sister, it's a bit embarrassing to do this all of a sudden."

"But you have fought alone until now, survived, and persisted. I also know how much impact the original decision would have on your uncle and you, but I never thought that you would......"

Margaret looked at the blood-stained armor on Maria's body and said with some guilt.

"No! That's not the case! I have something I must do, and I won't back down no matter what hardship I encounter."

Maria said firmly.

Something you can’t back down from?

indeed.

"But, I can't leave you this time like I did six years ago. I will stay with you this time. No matter what the final result is, I believe in you."

Even the Brilliant Knight, or the operator Lin Guang who was always serious in the training ground, could not help but be moved after hearing these words.

"Maria... Oh, you really have grown up."

Maria's face turned red again, she covered her face and stamped her feet lightly.

"Hey, why would I suddenly say something like this......"

"Uh, am I here at a bad time?"

Margaret and Maria turned around at the same time when they heard the voice and saw someone they were both familiar with.

"Beichen?" x2

The two asked almost in unison, and turned their heads at the same time to look at each other with puzzled eyes.

"How did you...I think I know."

As an operator who knew Beichen relatively well on Rhodes Island, Margaret held her forehead helplessly. She could probably guess what had happened.

But Maria is different. She has no idea why Margaret and Beichen know each other.

"Beichen, I want to ask you a question first... When did you start eavesdropping?"

"What? Eavesdropping? I, I didn't."

Under Margaret's scorching gaze, Beichen had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Okay, I'll tell you, stop staring at me. I didn't hear much... It probably started from there, ahem."

Beichen cleared his throat and jumped in front of Maria, his eyes firm and his words full of affection.

"I missed you so much, sis."

Now it was Margaret's turn to face turn red. She snatched the shield from Maria's hand and slammed Beichen against the wall, at least she could barely hold him down.

"Sister, ah, no, Beichen!"

"Ahem, I'm fine. I don't think I broke your wall."

"So what's going on?"

If he wasn't someone she was very familiar with, no, even if he was someone she was very familiar with, my sister wouldn't do such a thing. Then what exactly was the relationship between Beichen and my sister? Could it be?

Is it some special relationship?

While Maria was still lost in her thoughts, Margaret sighed, tapped her head, and spoke.

"Although I don't know how Beichen got here, and I don't know how he knows you and Zofia, but Maria, you have to remember, don't get too close to him, absolutely not!"

"Lin Guang, why did you say bad things about me in front of Maria............"

Beichen looked heartbroken.

Margaret simply chose to ignore Beichen and began to explain to Maria her relationship with Beichen.

"Operator Beichen, like me, belongs to the same company called Rhodes Island, which is the company I mentioned in the letter... Although his personality may be a little bad, he has helped me a lot and is a trustworthy person."

"In short, feel free to look for him when you need help, but never look for him when you don't need help. Remember that, Maria?"

"Remember, remember."

"You are worthy of being able to make such an embarrassing comment in front of the person concerned without changing your expression, Lin Guang."

Beichen gave a thumbs up.

"Well, although I don't know what you did in Casimir and what you plan to do next, anyway, you must have helped Maria a lot. Thank you."

"Ahem, I'd be really embarrassed to say that."

Beichen scratched his head and spoke.

"So..............Hey, Maria, how about I tell you some interesting stories about your sister in Rhodes Island."

"Is there such a thing? I want to hear it, I want to hear it!"

Bang! Bang!

Margaret, unable to bear it any longer, swung her fist and hit both of them.

"Oh, I'm wrong, I was just kidding. You two sisters can chat slowly. I'll go away."

Beichen rubbed his head and was about to slip away but was pulled back by Margaret.

"Wait, there's something else about Rhodes Island that I think you should... "

Before Margaret could finish her words, her attention was suddenly drawn to another person walking down from upstairs.

"............Margaret."

Mainna stared at Margaret for a long time with a stern face.

This was an unexpected situation, which made his original plan to rescue Maria fail and also disrupted his subsequent plans.

It’s troublesome. It’s very troublesome.

"Margaret, what are you doing back here? Do you know what your presence here means?"

(I tested it. I went to watch the CS game last night. I finished coding but didn’t upload it.)
