There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

As long as Zofia wasn't around.

Seeing her good friend coming, Maria hurriedly ran out of the house and came to the door.

"I thought you were going to stay home for a few days. We... uh... they are..."

Mary (Alia) was excitedly preparing to reminisce with her soul (her good friend) until she arrived in front of the soul, only to discover that there were two other people standing beside her.

A strange guy with a hood and a little Filin with a sullen look.

Weird...why does it feel like this little film is grinding its teeth?

"Let me introduce you. These two are your sister's superiors, and this one is..."

Talina walked up and introduced the identities of Kal'tsit and others to Maria, but when she was about to introduce Rosemary, she found that something was wrong with this little girl.

Why do I hear teeth grinding?

"Since you are my friends, please come in. I am at home..."

Ignoring Talina's sudden pause, Maria directly opened the rusty door and welcomed the few people in.

The doctor nodded politely to Maria, then walked in with the other two.

Rosemary's current situation was obviously not right, so she decided not to continue teasing Talina. If something happened, it would be difficult to clean up.

"Are they my sister's superiors? This feels weird."

Maria and Talina still stood by the door as they watched several people enter the room.

Talina was a little afraid of Rosemary, but Maria simply wanted to reminisce with Talina.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the last time they met they separated not long ago. Now that they met for a rare occasion, she had a lot to say to Talina.

"He's a nice guy, after all. Your sister hasn't been working there long. By the way, are you feeling better?"

After walking in from outside, the two stood in the yard, chatting casually.

She remembered Maria's miserable condition yesterday. She fainted on the court, but she was full of energy the next day?

Is Kuranta’s physical fitness so strong?

"Well, it's no longer a big deal. I guess we can remove this annoying thing tomorrow!"

Maria said with a smile as she raised her injured arm and shook it in front of Talina.

"Be careful, don't get it again later, or it will be troublesome."

Talina gently grabbed Maria's hand and slowly put it down, then came to Maria and adjusted the bandage hanging on her neck.

Because she was raised by Mainna since she was a child, Maria has always been a little careless. Only after being suddenly hit by Talina did she come to her senses.

No wonder I felt uncomfortable just now, it turns out this place is not properly fixed...

Maria secretly adjusted the part that Talina had just trimmed, pursed her pink lips, and looked at Talina with a hesitant look.

"Just tell me what you have to say. You can't hide it anyway."

Talina, who had known him for many years, saw at a glance that the other person was hiding something in his heart, and spoke quite generously.

"Hehe~"

Scratching her head, Maria smiled sheepishly: "Didn't you say before that if you win the game you can make a wish~ Hehe~"

"this..."

After being reminded by Maria, Talina remembered this incident.

This was a game they often played when they were young. The loser would agree to a request from the winner. Since they met so often, they played it quite a few times.

But they were both still children at that time, so the requests they made were just a few rounds, such as listening to Maria tell stories.

That day, Talina saw that Maria was not in good condition, so she thought of using this method to motivate her. She didn't expect that she still remembered it now.

Of course, words spoken are like water spilled on the ground, and Tarina wasn't about to refuse. She immediately waved her hand and said boldly, "Of course it counts!"

"oh oh!"

Maria jumped twice excitedly, then stretched out her intact right hand and pointed at Talina.

"I want you to..."

Volume 7: Chapter 16: Ma... Ma!

"...stay with me for a day!"

Pointing at Talina with her right hand, Maria smiled, as if she saw something happy.

This... I thought it was some kind of awkward request, but this is it?

Talina, who was startled by Maria's short words, put away her vigilance and decisively agreed to the other party.

"Okay, you decide the time and place. I'm free anytime."

With a faint smile, Talina seemed to have thought of something and quickly added, "But... didn't you advance? Your schedule should be very full, right? Can you really spare some time?"

If she remembered correctly, she and Maria should have advanced to the next round of the competition, otherwise she would not have been dragged into the competition by Senomi.

I, who just participated, am already quite busy, so wouldn't Maria, who has already made it to the finals, be even busier?

"Ah? Don't worry about this, it's already been resolved."

After hearing what Talina said, Maria waved her hand nonchalantly: "I have already given the competition spot to my sister, and the next task will be handed over to her~"

Maria spoke with great ease, as if she had put down a heavy burden.

Her only purpose in participating in the knightly tournament was to protect her family.

She wanted to retrace Margaret's steps, emulate her sister's heroic deeds, and prove to her uncle that she was also capable of standing in front and sharing the difficulties with them.

Now she has proven that she will not retreat or be afraid, Margaret has returned, and everything is moving in a good direction, so she is no longer needed.

Compared to participating in knight competitions, she still prefers forging.

"Is there still such an operation?"

Touching her chin, Talina nodded thoughtfully.

The initial competition system of the knight competition was a points system, just like the former Sintela, who had been an actor on the field for so long, wasn't it just to sell points?

Only after accumulating enough points can you advance to the next competition.

Her points are just starting to accumulate now. Even if she plays every day, she will have to work hard in the competition for about half a year to accumulate enough points.

Talina doesn't think those guys will honestly give her half a year to develop.

If I can use the method that Maria and the others use, wouldn't I be able to transfer Viviana's points to myself?

This will save you a lot of time...

Anyway, Viviana is basically in a semi-retired state now. She is devoted to taking care of her children and no longer wants to show up in public, which is a good thing for her.

"Well~ Thank you~"

Patting Maria on the shoulder, Talina walked into the house.

She had to ask how to do this and then get herself out of it as soon as possible. She didn't want to be like a monkey on the field for people to watch.

"Eh?"

Maria was a little confused by Talina's inexplicable praise, and she had no choice but to follow.

After entering the house, Talina saw Margaret who was chatting happily with the doctor. She raised her hand to greet her and then found a place to sit down.

Maria came in later and sat down next to Talina, which attracted Rosemary's frequent gazes, but she didn't care.

From Maria's perspective, Rosemary is just a child, and you never know what kind of tantrum she's having.

She was a child once, so she understands these things quite well.

The Doctor was basically chatting with Margaret the whole time. No one spoke except Talina who occasionally interrupted.

After learning some things about the past from Margaret, seeing that it was getting late and the doctor was ready to go back, he said goodbye to Margaret.

"Just take good care of your injuries first, and we'll talk when you're better."

In front of the door, Talina stood on tiptoe and touched Maria's head, soothing her restless heart.

Maria also bent down cooperatively and responded to Talina.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that the doctor and the other two have left, otherwise Talina always feels that something bad will happen.

When Talina returned home, the night had gradually fallen. Russell also finished his work for the day and returned home. He was sitting in the living room, chatting with Rafiela, who looked confused.

It must be said that although Rafiela is considered a "problem child" in Talina's eyes, this does not prevent her from being an obedient and good child in the eyes of her elders.

Especially the face that was similar to Talina, which directly made Russell get a new Talina, an obedient version.

There's a feeling of falling out of favor...

However, Talina is no longer the child she used to be, so she won't behave in a jealous way.

Anyway, Rafiela is fostered by her, so she might as well consider it as an opportunity to gain experience in raising a child in advance.

After entering the house, Talina greeted the two of them, came to sit in front of Russell, and told him about what happened today when Senomi came to see her.

Although I feel relieved, I still need to inform Russell about some things.

"You can rest assured, Senomi. Although this child is a little jumpy, he won't hurt you. As for the rest..."

After listening to Talina's story today, Russell finally understood why the contact person sent by Rhodes Island had always been in a distant state.

So you haven't decided whether to join or not?

"What about that guy named Markowitz?"

After telling Russell about her encounter with Markovitz during the day, Talina sought advice from Russell.

She really couldn't judge this guy, and Markowitz's performance was far from his status and position. He didn't look like someone those shrewd guys could push out.

Rather than a spokesperson, he is more like a cautious low-level employee.

"Well... I'll have someone check it out. Apparently, he was discovered by Charney, so logically speaking, he should have some outstanding qualities..."

Russell said hesitantly.

Talina nodded, stopped asking questions, and got up and went back to her room.

She was already exhausted after a busy day today. Now that she had nothing to do, she had to take some time to rest.

Before going to bed, Talina went to Viviana's room and took her baby over.

Now that the eggs are about to hatch, it would be good for her as a mother to be closer. Who knows, maybe they will hatch soon?

Holding the egg with more and more cracks in her arms, Talina fell into a deep sleep.

Talina slept soundly that night. Perhaps because she was back home, she let down all her guard, so that she ignored the slightest noise in the room.

"Well..."

Her brows furrowed unconsciously, and Talina, who was still asleep, felt something strange.

My chest feels wet...

Something is crawling on the bed...

And...a pair of hard strange things kept hitting her chin!

With an irritable wave of her hand, Talina turned over and picked up something close, but the thing she pushed away sat blankly on the bed.

“Ah…ah~”

Crawling along the familiar scent, she found Talina again.

Gradually waking up from her sleep, Talina subconsciously rubbed her chest twice. She felt a wet mark on her pajamas and suddenly woke up. She realized that everything just now was not a so-called dream.

"I..."

Climbing out of bed, Talina lifted the quilt and looked at the palm-sized eggshell fragments scattered on the bed.

"No...it can't be..."

In the pile of quilts not far away, something was constantly hatching crickets, occasionally making some unclear sounds.

Talina reached out and pushed the eggshell fragments in front of her aside, then slowly crawled closer.

She stretched out her hand and placed it on the quilt. Talina tried her best to control her hand so that it would not tremble too loudly.

Pinching a corner of the quilt, Talina's heart began to beat rapidly.
