There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

It was an exquisite hairpin, all silver, with shiny stones dotted around the edges, reflecting beautiful colors under the light.

"I typed this myself. It's my first independently completed work, I've been keeping it for you!"

"Isn't this... a little inappropriate? After all, it's such a valuable item..."

Hesitant, Talina didn't know whether she should accept Maria's kindness.

In Talina's opinion, this kind of handicraft is usually incredibly expensive, and with those shiny stones, it is obvious that it cost a lot.

Even if we deduct Maria's "labor costs", those "gems" are worth a lot of money, right?

The Linguang family has long since fallen into decline and is no longer as wealthy as before. Wouldn't it be a bit too extravagant to bring out such an ornament?

"Don't worry! I took the main part of the hairpin from the armor at home, and my uncle also agreed. I polished the shiny parts from pieces of glass, so they're not worth much."

Maria waved her hand to dispel Talina's concerns.

"In that case, I'll take it."

After hearing the cost of the hairpin, Talina could accept the gift with confidence.

Since it was Maria's kind gesture, it would be hard for me to refuse.

But...what should I use to return the gift?

With her finger on her lips, Talina wondered what kind of gift she should give to respond to Maria's feelings.

Being friends is a mutual thing. It is impossible for Talina to just accept and Maria to just give. This is just one-sided exploitation. Even if Maria is willing, Talina cannot agree.

What does Maria like?

When thinking about this question, Talina realized that she knew nothing about Maria's hobbies.

This sunny girl always showed her her truest side, but Talina seemed to have never heard her talk about what she liked.

Talina, who was really surprised, asked herself: "Is there anything Maria likes?"

Rather than guessing blindly, Talina would rather give the gift to the recipient according to their preferences. Although this would reduce the sense of mystery, choosing according to needs has always been Talina's first principle in giving gifts.

"Something you like?"

Maria was stumped by Talina's question for a while and thought seriously.

She had never thought about this problem before, because no one except her family had ever given her anything, but family and friends have different positions, so those things were not of reference value.

While thinking, Maria saw Talina looking at her eagerly, and suddenly smiled and said: "Well... I like you, does this count?"

This bold statement immediately confused Talina, who could only stare at Maria blankly, not knowing what to do.

"Okay! I was just kidding. You don't need to return the favor. It's just a small gift. It's not worth much."

Maria reacted quickly and tried to make amends, fearing that her words would scare Talina away, which would be counterproductive.

"Really? Stop saying weird things like that!"

With a pout, Talina said dissatisfiedly.

Volume 4: Chapter 58: Isn't this a kind of () () ()

Talina has always cherished her friend Maria.

When I first arrived, I only had Viviana to rely on. It was Maria who took the initiative to approach me, tearing apart the gloomy sky and acting as my sun.

In this way, the two have always been friends, and if nothing unexpected happens, things will continue like this.

Kotarina's departure made Maria, who was growing up, understand one thing.

That is, the things you like will not come to you by themselves. If you want to get them, you must pursue them and deepen your impression of them!

But...can I really do it?

Maria lost confidence when she thought of her enemies.

It's not that she doesn't work hard, it's just that the gap between her and those guys' levels is just too huge!

Viviana who lives with Talina, and the village girl Victoria brought back by Talina, but these are actually okay, the most important thing is!

My own aunt!

Whip Knight——Zofia!

When Maria was young, she didn't know about these things and just thought that her aunt favored Talina.

At that time, she was still wondering, she had done so well, but she only received praise, how could she get both material and spiritual rewards like Talina?

But as she grew up, she began to understand what her aunt meant.

It was not until she dragged herself to Talina's house for a talk that she finally understood what her aunt was up to!

she!

My own aunt!

My own relatives!

He actually wants to steal his friend's girl!

Maria's first reaction at that time was to quickly ruin the matter.

Zofia, an elder, actually fell in love with Talina, who was of the same generation as her. Isn't this a mess? ! !

If that really happens, how can I be called Talina in the future?

sister in law?

Maria suddenly felt terrible when she thought about such a horrible thing happening.

Fortunately, Russell rejected Zofia with other excuses at that time, otherwise Talina would have become a wife by now, and Maria would have no intention of expressing her feelings to her.

But now that Talina is back, Maria's silent heart naturally begins to become lively.

"If you really want to give it, just give me a hug!"

Maria opened her mouth towards Talina and waited with her eyes closed.

"In this case..."

He looked at the hairpin in his hand, then looked at Maria who closed her eyes waiting for the report. After thinking for a while, he threw himself into Maria's arms.

It’s just a hug and a hairpin, it’s a great deal!

Feeling the weight in her arms, Maria hugged him back contentedly.

This was something she had been looking forward to for a long time, and now it had finally become a reality, which made her very excited.

"It's not time yet... It's not time yet..."

Reminding herself, Maria let go of Talina and ended the hug.

"Well, is this enough? Don't you need anything else?"

She asked confusedly, a little confused about what she would have to give, as Talina added additional conditions to her request.

"No... a hug is enough!"

After rejecting Talina's "special service", Maria swallowed the saliva in her throat and straightened her image.

She is a descendant of a knight family!

How can you give up your bottom line just because of such a little temptation? !

What she wants is a sweet love, not a transaction involving material things.

This is a complete humiliation for her!

"Then hug me again~"

Jumping up from the ground, Talina hung on Maria and hugged her tightly.

This was her own initiative!

If I make some response myself, it shouldn't be considered breaking the rules, right?

Restraining her excitement, Maria put her arms around Talina's waist, providing her with a place to lean on.

Just as Maria was immersed in this ambiguous atmosphere, an uninvited guest opened her door and walked into Maria's room.

"How many times have I told you to open the windows and ventilate when you have nothing to do? You've never listened to me! If you do this again, I'll..."

The casual black long dress perfectly highlights the young woman's figure. Although she doesn't wear any jewelry, she is still dazzling.

Zofia slowly walked into the house while pushing aside the cardboard box blocking the door.

As usual, Sofia was giving her own sermon. The first thing she saw when she entered the room was the two people hugging each other.

This exciting scene is equivalent to roasting Zofia on an iron plate.

What did she see?!

My own niece!

A sunny and upright good boy is now hugging a girl who is much shorter than her, and the two are kissing passionately!

Because of the position, Talina, Maria and the wall formed a special perspective of three points in a straight line, which is why Zofia was scared.

So much so that she didn't recognize at first glance that the girl with her back to her was the Talina she had been thinking about day and night!

Now Sofia has only one thought in her mind.

My own niece!

Coming out!

No!

The situation of the Linguang family is special, and most of the people who come to contact them now have other intentions. As Maria's sister (aunt), Sofia feels that she needs to check on her niece!

After a brief moment of distraction, Sofia quickly reacted and stepped forward to pull the two apart.

"Aunt Zofia! Wait! She's...!!!"

Maria opened her eyes in horror, looked at Sofia who was walking towards her "angrily", and hurriedly let go of Talina's arms.

"Eh? Aunt... Uh!"

Hearing Maria's words, Talina felt delighted. Just as she was about to turn around and greet Sofia, a strong arm grabbed Fate by the back of the neck.

Being carried like a small film, Talina tightened her arms and legs and looked at Sofia blankly.

Myself...did I do something wrong?

"You are..."

Zofia, who had captured the "hostage", was just about to start the interrogation of Maria when she discovered something was wrong with the person she held.

It seems... a little familiar?

acquaintance?

Because of her special posture, most of Talina's face was covered by her hair, so Sofia did not recognize at first that the little girl in her arms was the lovely one she had been thinking about day and night.

"Long time no see~ Aunt Zofia...sister!"

Using her hands to push aside her hair to reveal her face, Talina greeted the elder whom she had not seen for a long time.

"Talina?!!"

The dreamlike reality shocked Sofia. She wiped her eyes with her hands, fearing that she had mistaken the girl in front of her.

But no matter how she wiped it, Talina was always there, smiling and waving at her.

Volume 4: Chapter 59: Coming out?

"So...you've been going to Ursus these past few years?"

Sitting in the living room, Zofia crossed her legs and stared at Talina and Maria with scrutiny.

Maria lowered her head guiltily and dared not speak, while Talina answered Sofia's questions with a smile.

"Well, I lived in Ursus for a few years, and recently came back for some things."

"You've been back for a bit? Are you going to leave later?"

The Temple of the Gods (VIII) (IV)

Sensing the subtext in Talina's words, Zofia frowned and looked at the person she had been thinking about day and night.

"Yes, there are still some things that need to be resolved, and there are also a few friends I need to meet. At least... there is an explanation."
