People are in Arknights and becoming Griseo at the beginning

"Heh—"

In the deserted suburbs around Kawalerielki, a slender golden figure was constantly waving a heavy-looking spear for training.

Yes, the person who was training was Bianka. After being annoyed by those who invited her, she simply left the bustling city temporarily and plunged into the wild.

Others might lose a lot of intelligence and opportunities by doing this, but for Durandal, this was the best way.

After all, there was a fox lady in the city who could provide her with real-time intelligence, and no one was disturbing her here, so it was very leisurely. So why not have fun?

"Boom!"

"Huh—"

After the last shot blasted the boulder in front of her with crushing force, Bianka exhaled lightly and took back the ordinary lance in her hand.

At the same time, her training for the morning was over.

"…"

Bianka reached out and wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead, then slowly walked to her makeshift camp and sat down by the campfire. Without Rita around, Dudu's quality of life was mainly casual.

"Hmm?"

Just when Bianka took out a bottle of water and was about to replenish her fluids, the news in her heart suddenly made her pause.

"You really think I'm easy prey... disgusting."

After listening to the news from Sakura, Durandal's expression did not show any surprise, only disgust and the coldness hidden in her eyes.

Although Bianka had known for a long time that the senior capital executives of Kazimierz would definitely take action against her, she did not expect it to happen so soon.

No.

After being rejected by her several times, he was so angry that he wanted to teach her a lesson and then make her give in? It's ridiculous…

"Let me see, what can you take out to make me 'give in.'"

After the voice fell, Bianka no longer had the desire to eat. She slowly put down the water cup in her hand, stood up, took out the spear again, and walked away.

"Crazy training" started again!

————————————————————

In the busy workshop—

"Ding-dong-ding-dong…ding…"

"Zizi…"

After a lot of hammering, Maria was able to take a little time to put the red-hot material held by the pliers into the water to cool it down and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand.

"Let me see…"

Just then, the old craftsman noticed the situation here, quickly came over, took out the things that Maria had put into the water to cool down, and observed them.

"Haha, you did a good job this time, Maria, you are quite talented. Keep it up." As he said that, the old craftsman did not forget to pat Maria on the shoulder to encourage her.

"Well! I will keep working hard, Master Kowal!" After hearing the encouragement from the old craftsman, Maria was refreshed, and then answered excitedly.

"…"

Afterwards, the two did not continue to chat but both devoted themselves to their work again. Especially Maria, she was full of energy. Since she talked with Bianka last time, Maria has become more and more interested in the profession of a craftsman. And because of some of her own little thoughts, she has been working harder and more motivated recently.

As for what little thoughts are… asking is the girl's secret.

——————————————————

Time passed quickly in the busy and fulfilling lives of these girls. The points stage has completely ended, and the elimination round has been replaced.

"Well, Bianka, the elimination round is about to start. Are you ready? I heard that your opponent in the first game is a powerful knight." In the restaurant, Maria put down the fork in her hand and asked with a curious expression.

"Don't worry, I'm ready. Don't worry, Maria, I will bring back the victory." Hearing this, Bianka gently sipped the black tea in the cup, then raised the corners of her lips and said confidently.

"Well, I believe you." After hearing Bianka's answer, Maria put aside her worries and answered with a smile in her eyes. As the time spent together gradually increased, and after observing Bianka's training, Maria trusted her and her strength more and more.

"Don't just talk about me. I see that you seem to be very busy recently. Have you finally found your goal?"

Bianka slowly put down the cup in her hand, then looked at Maria with a smile and asked.

After being asked this question suddenly by Bianka, Maria's face froze at first, then her eyes were slightly evasive, and she answered:

"Uh… You can say that. But I really like the work of a craftsman."

"…?" Hearing this, Bianka's blue eyes slowly flashed with a trace of doubt and curiosity. However, knowing her friend's character, she did not continue to ask. Instead, she smiled and changed the subject:

"If you like it, then try your best. Although hard work may not produce results, there will be gains in the end."

"Well, I will."

After listening to Bianka's words, Maria first breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, then responded.

Almost, the Kuranta thought that she was about to be exposed. So when Bianka didn't ask, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Although, in fact, Maria was not sure whether Bianka knew her little secret. But… that was not important. Even if she knew it but didn't ask or raise it, she didn't know it!

"Heh~"

Looking at someone who had emotions written on their face without knowing it, Bianka couldn't help but chuckle.

Dudu knew that Maria had some little secrets behind her back, and she was also curious about them. But out of respect for her friend, she didn't go to investigate.

Now, a certain Kuranta wants to keep it a secret, and Bianka will naturally follow her wishes, not investigating or asking.

"Hmm? Bianka, what are you laughing at?"

Maria, who had just put away her thoughts, heard her friend's laughter, looked up, and asked nervously because she felt guilty.

"Hmm… guess?"

"Hmm? Bianka, you've learned bad things, tell me~"
