After greeting the two people on the other side, Talina turned to look at Maria.

study?

Studying in a pub?

What did you study? Bartending?

Alas, I was trampled, bullied, insulted, and humiliated in the group. My personality was trampled on and my soul was penetrated, just because I don’t know how to install the computer ()

Volume 4: Chapter 51: Broken Friendship?

"Forging? Why did you suddenly want to learn this?"

After hearing Maria's explanation, Talina looked at Koval who was having a pleasant conversation with Bald Martin.

She simply couldn't imagine this giant hammering away, it was as absurd as Bozhukas knitting a sweater.

and...

"Isn't this a tavern?"

Looking around, Talina didn't find any decorations related to forging. This was just an ordinary tavern.

"Well~ After all these years, Tarina is still the same, dumb as before!"

Maria stood up from her seat, leaned forward, and gently pinched Talina's nose with her hand.

"Ugh! We're outside here! Don't do these weird movements."

Waving Maria's hand away, Talina unconsciously turned her head away to hide her embarrassment.

The fight between the two attracted the attention of the few female customers in the tavern. In order to avoid suspicion, Talina had to take the initiative to distance herself from Maria.

Since she grew up, Talina began to resist these intimate actions. Coupled with her special understanding of girls, Talina was worried that Maria would lead her astray.

What should I do if Uncle Maenna comes to settle the score with me?

Well, that's absolutely not possible!

Shaking her head, Talina decided to keep some distance from Maria and not be so close to her.

It's not that we're breaking up outright, we just want to get back to being friends again and give each other some private space, which will be good for everyone.

However, Talina's movements were a bit too big, and her palm made a slight sound when it hit Maria's hand.

But this slight sound made Maria feel as if she was stabbed by something sharp, and her heart was in great pain.

Maria pouted in grievance, covered the place where her right hand was slapped with her left hand, and looked at Talina cautiously.

"Feel sorry..."

Sitting back in her seat, Maria put her legs together and the smile on her face faded.

"Huh? That's not what I meant!"

Maria's facial expression change caught Talina off guard. Realizing that her previous action had caused Maria to misunderstand her, Talina hurried to make amends.

She didn't want to lose her childhood playmate.

Since Talina came to Casimir, apart from the two special people, Viviana and Russell, Maria was, in a sense, the first friend she met and the person she could really play with.

Needless to say, the relationship between the two is very close. Whether Maria is staying at Russell's mansion or Talina is staying at Lin Guang's house, the two basically sleep in the same bed.

Now that the two have reunited after a long separation, Maria's long-suppressed nature is released with the arrival of Talina.

But Talina, who only wanted to be friends with Maria, slapped Maria's joy back. This uncomfortable feeling made Maria fall into depression.

We've been friends since childhood, and we're so close, plus the buff of reuniting after a long separation...

why...

Why do so many happy things combined make people feel sad?

Maria couldn't understand it. The complicated logic behind it was a bit too "profound" for her, a girl who had never dated before.

Even if Talina told her those reasons, Maria would think that they were lies made up to make herself feel better.

"You, you..."

What should I do?

Leaving her seat, Talina ran to sit next to Maria, waving her arms in panic.

The people around were also attracted by the movement here, and they would look here from time to time. Even the two managers of the tavern, Bald Martin and Koval, looked over with interest.

As Maria's half-master, it was the first time that Koval saw this little girl show such an expression, which inevitably aroused his interest.

"The relationship between these two seems unusual! Hey! What do you think?!"

Koval patted Martin's shoulder with his strong claws and spoke to the old bachelor who was concentrating on his cup.

"Why do you care so much about other people's children? You talk like you know everything."

Martin, who was almost slapped to the ground by Koval, pushed away the bear paw on his shoulder in dissatisfaction, and carefully picked up his cup and put it away.

"Instead of worrying about these two children, you should worry about yourself. They are definitely more capable than you."

Complaining about this big fool who only had brute force, Martin casually threw the towel used to wipe the cup into the disinfectant and soaked it, waiting for subsequent cleaning.

"Um... well... no rush, haha! No rush! With my silky hair, are you still worried about not being able to find a beautiful Ursus girl? Haha!"

Koval wisely chose to skip the topic with a smile.

As an atavistic ancestor, his aesthetic is different from that of ordinary people. In the aesthetic view of ordinary people, beautiful girls are like hairless beasts in his eyes.

Compared to this, he still prefers a girl who is an ancestor like himself.

On the other hand, Talina tried various methods, but she was still unable to get Maria back to her previous state.

Although Maria had said that she didn't care, Talina, who knew her well, knew that it was just an excuse.

His actions just now had left a scar in Maria's heart. If it was not dealt with in time, the two of them would only drift further and further apart.

"Um, I didn't mean it just now, I just..."

I'm just afraid you'll get stuck...

Talina, who was fully aware of her own strange charm, didn't know how to explain it. If she was honest, it would seem a little too narcissistic.

"By the way! We haven't seen each other for a long time! How about we go out for dinner together later?"

Suddenly coming up with a good idea, Talina intimately took Maria's hand, gently shaking it and acting coquettishly.

In the past, whenever she used this trick, no matter what conflict Maria was in, it would be resolved immediately.

This time...it seems to be the same?

"I-I know!"

Maria blushed and agreed to Talina. Feeling the soft touch on her arm, she couldn't help but fall into it.

It seems...I have really grown up...

Unlike childhood friendships, adult friendships are usually mixed with many exchanges of interests, and each person has different thoughts, which lacks the innocence of youth.

Talina...same thing?

Do not!

Will not!

She will always be her best friend!

Always will!

Volume 4: Chapter 52: The Perfect Wife

The two said goodbye to Martin and Koval and left this strange tavern.

"Strange, why would it open in a place like this? Can it really do business?"

Turning around and looking at this strange building hidden in a remote location, Talina asked puzzledly.

This is the knight's territory where every inch of land is worth a lot of money!

It is not easy to have a small house of your own, but you live in such a... depressing way.

Just now, Talina was not just chatting with Maria. Thanks to her experience in Ursus, Talina had been quietly observing the surrounding environment.

Although the pub was kept very clean, the tables, chairs, benches, overhead lamps and cocktail making tools on the bar showed signs of time and history.

This kind of poverty situation is not what these two elders should be in.

According to Maria, both of them are talented people with special skills.

Talina didn't know much about Bald Martin so she didn't comment much, but as for the Ursus ancestor, Koval, who was Maria's current teacher, Talina paid a little more attention to him.

From Maria's description, we can tell that this is a master craftsman who is proficient in forging, or at least a talent who can independently forge weapons and armor by hand.

It would be much better for such talents to work for companies that specialize in armor research and development, or to open a small shop on their own, rather than staying in a small tavern now.

but...

"Who cares? They can live their lives the way they want."

Whispering, Talina took Maria's hand, just like she did in the tavern.

Talina was not so keen as to meddle in other people's affairs. Besides, she had only just met these two people and didn't know them well. What if they liked this kind of life?

Wouldn't that cause a misunderstanding?

"What did you say?"

Maria took Talina's hand and turned to look at her.

The grievance on her face that had just disappeared without a trace was back to her lively self.

"Nothing, let's go."

Seeing Maria like this, Talina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This experience of causing trouble by her own hands taught her a lesson.

I have been away from Casimir for too long, and there is already a gap between me and my previous friends. While trying to figure things out, I must not do anything or say anything that could easily cause misunderstanding.

This time it was Maria, a generous and cheerful friend, who gave Talina the opportunity to save herself and explain herself.

If the person this time is replaced by a weird guy like Sintelaiya, then Talina will be very passive. It is not known whether it can be saved, but she will definitely be led by Sintelaiya.

"Where are we going to eat? It's still early, right?"

The scorching sun scorched the earth to a scorching heat. Standing at the edge of the shady alley, Talina had no courage to go out.

After returning to Casimir, Talina seemed to become lazy, and the hard-working and tenacious spirit she had cultivated in Ursus began to hibernate and become silent.

"How about...we eat at home?"

After squeezing Talina's palm, Maria put forward her proposal.

"Home? Won't it bother me? Margaret should be back, right? And Aunt Zofia and Uncle Marne..."

Hesitating, Talina didn't know whether she should agree to Maria's proposal.

Since she went to Ursus, she has never cooked again. When she was later taken to Victoria, Talina also lived a life of having everything provided for her.

After a rough estimate, Talina found that she had not been in the kitchen for several years.

If it was just Maria and I, Talina would gradually become familiar with the food and might be able to cook a whole table of food. Even if the food was not tasty, Maria would still praise her with a smile.

But if we were all together...

Talina couldn't afford to lose face.

"Don't worry! Uncle has a work lunch at the company. My sister is away on a business trip. Aunt Zofia has moved out now and won't be back normally!"

Today it's just the two of us!

Maria's joy was reflected on her face, and her eyes narrowed.

If they weren't on the street and had to consider other people's opinions, Maria would have taken Talina back home long ago.

She wanted to know why Talina suddenly disappeared without a word for so many years, and what she had experienced outside during these years.

She had a lot to say to Talina. The longing she had for so many years had already turned into an illness. After losing Talina, Maria realized that she was actually her only friend!

This time, only this time!

The strength of her palm gradually increased, and Maria held Talina's small palm in her hand.
