My Arknights Life Diary

These three little guys are all very cute, but...

When a certain Rupert saw the little guy with the red hood, for some reason, he felt an innate fear, which made him very uncomfortable.

Although it was the first time for Xiao Ke and the others to come to this place, they all found a seat and sat down very familiarly.

Especially Xiao Ke, as soon as she sat down, she took out something that looked like a menu.

"Hmm... Let me see... This one looks delicious. And this one, give me one of each, and this soup! And some of these drinks too!"

"Little guy, those things at the back are wine. You can't drink them. I'll give you a few bottles of milk. As for the others, please wait a moment. The kitchen is preparing them."

Xiao Ke naturally didn't recognize Casimir's language, but the menus were all accompanied by pictures, which made it easier for Xiao Ke to order, or rather, it made her know that this thing was a menu.

Bald Martin stopped wiping the wine glass, turned around and gave a few instructions to the kitchen staff, then bent down and took out a few new cups from under the bar. After filling them with fresh milk, he subconsciously said:

"Can you catch it?"

"Sure!"

The slightly childish voice of the child brought Bald Martin back to his senses a little, but after thinking about it, he slipped the cup of milk in his hand over.

"Then catch it!"

This is a small game in this tavern. Most of the old customers in the tavern have experienced it, but they didn't expect that old Martin would actually play such a joke on a few children. After all, they might get wet if they were not careful.

Several glasses of milk slid from the bar to Xiaoke's table, drawing a graceful arc in the air without spilling a single drop.

Xiao Ke did not choose to take it directly. She knew that if she took it directly, the water would be scattered all over her body, so she used a little skill. After taking the cups, she bent her wrist and pushed them onto the table to release the final force.

By the way, he also moved the fresh milk to the front of several other people.

"Oh my god, this little guy is quite capable!"

"Old Martin, it's unreasonable for you not to give them a free meal."

"Hey, Old Fu, I remember you got covered in poison last time. You used to be a knight, but now you can't even beat a kid."

The big white bear gloated and nudged his old friend next to him with his elbow.

"Just that one time!"

The black-haired Kuranta felt a little embarrassed.

"What about half a month ago?"

Bald Martin also followed up with a sentence.

The black Kuranta called Lao Fu stopped talking and drank beer by himself.

Seeing the old man's frustrated look, several old friends who were familiar with him laughed happily, and the tavern was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

But all this has nothing to do with Xiaoke and the others. Among the four of them, three are foodies and have already started tasting fresh milk.

The way they eat is different.

Xiao Ke first took two simple licks, and after finding it tasted good, he drank it in big gulps. Guigui inserted a straw and drank it like juice. As for Hong, she put her mouth on the milk and sipped it slowly.

Maria, the only one who was not a foodie, drank half of it and put it aside because she was not that thirsty.

"Maria, didn't you have any friends before?"

Turtle finally couldn't let go of his curiosity, so he let go of the straw in his mouth and asked.

When she first entered the pub, she heard people inside talking about how Maria had made friends.

"I can't say I didn't have any. I did have some playmates when I was little, like my sister. But then something happened, and we didn't interact much anymore. Later on, I went to learn craftsmanship, so I didn't have many opportunities to interact with people my age, so naturally, I had even fewer friends."

"Oh, Maria, you actually have a sister. I've never heard you mention her before."

"After all, we haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't know where my sister is or what she is doing now."

When Maria said this, a hint of nostalgia appeared on her face, as if she was remembering the time when her sister was still alive.

"It seems like you have a very good relationship."

"Yes, very good! My sister is very capable, she is the pride of the Linguang family! I don't understand why my uncle dislikes her so much. He is obviously doing this for the Linguang family. Why is participating in the knight competition reckless? Why should he kick my sister out just because she is infected..."

Having said that, Maria slumped down on the table in frustration. It was obvious that she was very unhappy.

"Can you tell me your sister's story? I'll give you a candy. If you eat the candy, you won't be unhappy anymore."

Turtle took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket and pushed it to Maria's side.

Little Maria opened the package and put it in her mouth. The sugar intake and dopamine secretion made her feel less depressed.

"Let me think about where to start... My parents left home when I was very young. We didn't know what they were doing. Some people said they were dead, but I don't think they are dead. My uncle thinks so too.

Speaking of my uncle... I heard from some other adults that my uncle was a very powerful ranger when he was young. It seems that he chose his current life because he wanted to take care of me and my sister. Many people say that he has changed and become unkind. Oh, that's not right, I'm getting off topic.

As for my sister... well... she has been very outstanding since she was a child. In the eyes of others, she is the future of the Linguang family and the pride of her parents. Whether it is studying, swordsmanship, or any other aspect, she is far superior to me.

All of this ended three years ago, during the last special championship. My sister chose to participate in that competition for the reputation of the Linguang family and some other reasons that I couldn’t quite understand, and then she won the championship.

However, later on, her identity as an infected person was exposed and she was expelled.”

Deep in little Maria's memory, she could vaguely recall the quarrel between her sister and uncle. She always felt that her sister was not simply fighting for the "honor of the Linguang family" but for something deeper. However, she did not figure out what those things were back then, and she is still not very clear about them now.

"Wait a minute, let me look for it."

Guigui took out her notebook again and found a sentence from it.

"This should be called 'touching the capital pie'. I've said that before."

"What cake? Where can I get the cake?"

Xiao Ke heard about food and was attracted by it, but Guigui pushed her dog head away in annoyance.

"From what you said, infected people can't participate in the knight competition."

"Indeed, speaking of knightly competitions...if our family doesn't produce another Knight-Rider in two years, I'm afraid the Linguang family's title will be stripped away, and my sister's efforts will be in vain."

"Is that title important?"

"That represents the honor of the Linguang family."

Young Maria said this, and what she believed was no different from what the world saw.

"That's very important."

"Ah."

"From what you said, I need to participate in some kind of competition to keep that honor."

"It used to depend on merit, but now...it's really like that."

"Are you infected?"

"no?"

"Then why can't you join?"

"Me, me?"

"If your sister can do it, I think you can do it too!"

Turtle gave an encouraging look, and Maria looked at the look and pondered the words.

If my sister can do it, why can't I? I can do it too... can I really do it?
