About Me Being Picked Up by Tallulah for Adoption

Like a bartender in a western movie, the elderly silver hand slid a glass of beer down the counter to Orson.

"No...well, I can't drink alcohol."

"Ah?! You really don't want to drink a toast! If that's the case, then don't blame me—"

"Fix it!"

Boom!With a bang, Maria carried a TV out from behind the bar and put it on the counter, interrupting the old Yasuo's textbook persuasion.

"Although I think there should be no major problems with the wiring and the like, but...you should stay a little farther away?"

Maria took out the remote control and looked at everyone worriedly.

"Isn't it just repairing a TV, what can it explode?"

The old Yasuo sat on the chair with a disdainful tone and did not look back at all.

"You didn't say that when the fish tank exploded last time."

"……Uh"

Panda Jiuxian's words made the old knight back a few steps obediently, and Orson also retreated after seeing this, and was even ready to call rest amulet to block the gun at any time.

Fortunately, the TV set repaired by Maria did not become C4. After the display screen turned on, followed by a snowflake screen for a few seconds, colorful text and pictures came out of the TV screen, as well as a slightly noisy voice:

【Welcome to Cavalieriaki, the leader of the Great Knights!Needless to say, you who are looking at this advertisement at the moment already know why you are asking for it.That's right!This year's Casimir Knight Competition is about to officially kick off!With the departure of the black knight and the disappearance of the blood knight, which chamber of commerce/knight group will win the knight competition this time!Buying admission tickets now can not only get a 9% discount, but also get 3 faith coupons to help your beloved knight successfully advance! 】

(PS. An additional 38% knight tax will be charged for tickets for popular matches)]

"Uh... it looks like it's fixed."

Listening to the commercials on TV, Maria smiled awkwardly.

"Successor of the name of the light——you really participated, Maria?"

The old silver hand looked at Maria, asking with a complicated expression.

"Lin Guang?"

The familiar name came out from the TV, coupled with what the old silver hand said to Maria just now, this made Orson a little confused.

"I can't help it... The Knights Association has urged us four or five times this year, and uncle doesn't intend to inherit the position of 'Long Rider' at all, so I have to rely on me."

Maria said with a gloomy expression, but soon she cheered up again.

"Linguang—hey, you are Linguang's younger sister!?"

Orson, who was belatedly aware of it, finally understood why she always felt that this Kuranta girl was a bit like Linguang. It turned out that she was the "sister" that Linguang mentioned before, Maria Linguang.

"Ahaha... Do you feel disillusioned? I'm sorry, I'm not as dazzling as my sister, but even so, I will work hard for the family."

"It's not disillusionment, it's—"

Halfway through the talk, Orson suddenly recalled that Linguang had specifically told himself not to tell anyone his information.

Linguang didn't specify the reason, but it was obvious that she had her own considerations.

"It's just... I'm also a newly promoted competitive knight."

Orson changed the subject while reaching for the previous badge.

"Are you also a competitive knight? If that's the case, please give me your advice, so did you just apply for qualification from the Knights Association?"

Maria asked Orson curiously.

"Not yet, I'm going to find a place to rest today, and wait until tomorrow... huh?"

Orson kept rummaging through his pockets, but he couldn't find the badge that his contact had given him.

"what--"

Orson recalled it in a flash. He caught Maria in order to release the Rest Talisman, and lost the badge directly.

——Don't panic, it shouldn't be a big problem...!

"Well, Miss Maria, do you need to bring anything when you apply for a competitive knight?"

Orson wiped his sweat and asked Maria.

"My family's situation is quite special... Generally speaking, to apply for a competitive knight, you must first pass the preliminary assessment of the Knights Association, and you can officially apply for a competitive knight after you get the badge."

"Then, the importance of that badge..."

"It's very important. One of the basic principles of a knight is to protect the precious things around him. If a knight loses his badge, he will be directly disqualified."

"Ahem...!"

"Wow!? You, are you okay, you suddenly vomited blood!?"

After hearing this, Orson spat out a mouthful of old blood. He had discussed the plan with Kelsitarula and Zaolu for so long, but he didn't expect that he would stretch his crotch at the first step.

"Then besides the badge, is there any other way to apply for a competitive knight...?"

"In addition to the badge, there should be one, right? I remember that noble knights can designate a few followers to participate in the knight competition... Could it be that Mr. Orson... lost the badge?"

Orson nodded, with a face full of tears.

"Ugh... Could it be that it was lost to save me back then? If that's the case..."

"Boom!!"

Maria's words were suddenly interrupted by a loud bang at the door of the bar, and a woman who was also Kuranta, who looked slightly older than Maria, and wore a military cap strode into the bar.

"Alas!"

Following the woman's intrusion, Maria shrank behind the bar like a frightened ostrich.

"Uncle Martin... did she notice me?"

Maria asked quietly behind the counter.

"You should have seen it, walking towards you with a smile on your face."

"Wouldn't that be even worse...!"

Maria panicked and wanted to find other places to hide, but before she could get out of the bar, she was entangled by a whip-like strangeness and dragged her out.

"Wow!"

"Ma-le-ya-"

"Wait, wait a minute, Aunt Zofia—"

"Don't call me aunt! I'm not much older than you. Anyway, the topic now is, why did you sneak away to participate in the knight competition? Because of your older sister, that 'Knight of Glory' whom you haven't heard from for several years?"

"Don't, don't, don't pull my ears...!"

The Kuranta woman called Zofia aggressively grabbed Maria's ear, and seemed very dissatisfied with Maria's unauthorized participation in the knight competition.

"You don't understand the essence of the so-called knightly competition at all! Margaret's behavior cannot be copied, just look at the report on TV: [Yao Knight returns, the head of the Linguang family rides a rookie for the first time] - you even If you haven't officially joined the competition, you've already been played around by these businessmen!"

Zofia patted the TV, and the TV that had just been repaired was misfired again in an instant.

"Oh... But I have to participate in the knight competition! If Linguang's family is not recognized by the Knights Association, my uncle and I will sleep in the park next year...! And, and——I want to fight against Orson You have to be responsible, sir!"

"Puff cough cough cough!!"

Orson, who was drinking milk and watching the show, sprayed the milky white liquid in his nostrils.

"Negative-responsible!?"

Zofia was obviously taken aback by Maria's speech.

"Because of me, Mr. Orson lost something very important. Didn't Grandpa say that you should reach out to others—so, I have to make Mr. Orson my servant!"

"0v0?"

Orson pointed to himself with a confused look.

"Servant, servant—forget it, it seems that there are more urgent things to do."

Zofia let go of Maria's ears, and turned to look at Orson, with only one emotion in her eyes:

Just you little boy who abducted my niece (sister)?

As for Orson, he fully understood that Maria was 100% Margaret's younger sister.

These two female knights speak in such a way that they will shorten their lives! "Explain to me clearly what you did to Maria!"

Because Maria's speech was as misleading as her own sister's before, Zofia kept her hands on her hips and approached Orson imposingly, saying, "If you don't make it clear to me, I will use the pistol on my waist." The whip blade will knock you over" posture.

"I didn't do anything...!"

Orson was on the spot with a wave of French military salutes. The people in his own family were enough to give Orson a headache, and he didn't want to have any more inexplicable relationships with him.

"So that's it, is it that kind of irresponsible scumbag?"

"Why did you come to such a conclusion!?"

Zofia, already preconceived, stretched her right hand towards the whip blade at her waist. At this moment, Maria immediately stood between the two of them, trying to prevent her aunt from blaming Orson for no reason.

"That's not the case, aunt...uh, Sister Zofia. I accidentally lost Mr. Orson's competition badge, so I have to help and find him the qualification to join the competition!"

Anyway, I had made a fool of myself and signed up for the Cavaliers Special Championship privately without notifying any family members.At this point, Maria simply broke the jar and didn't care about the embarrassment.

"Lost the badge for the competition? It is indeed a very serious situation for competitive knights, but... you come to help? If you come to help, it is better to let him go directly to be an infected knight without affiliation!"

"Wait...at least change one ear!"

Maria couldn't escape, and was grabbed by Zofia's trembling ears again.

"The Linguang family does not have any commercial sponsorship at all, let alone the provision of equipment and supplies. The essence of the so-called knight competition is the financial and material competition between different commercial companies. Your current behavior is like trying to Take this guy to the battlefield naked! What awaits you will only be fully armed knights from other knight companies, and then use the cruel method of lion hunting rabbits to play and humiliate!"

It can be seen that Zofia is indeed very dissatisfied with Maria's behavior, and she said a lot about the possible consequences of Maria's childish behavior in one breath.

"That... I am indeed an infected knight."

Orson interrupted Zofia with a raised hand in a low voice.

"what--??"

The aunt who was still reprimanding Maria froze for a moment, then stared at Orson with wide eyes, and Orson showed an embarrassed smile.

"If it hinders or affects you, I am very sorry, and I will leave here immediately."

"No, don't say that, Mr. Orson, you saved us."

Orson apologized solemnly, while Maria signaled Orson not to care.
