About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

“Puwaa ...

"——!?"

The attack from behind stunned all the knights for a moment, but before they could figure out what was going on, several knights on the periphery were knocked away again.

"what happened!?"

The spokesperson, who originally thought the situation was under control, widened his eyes again.

In the previous second, it seemed that they could kill these two outrageous guys immediately, but in the next second, these knights were suddenly caught in a pincer attack from both sides.

"Mr. Charney... the knights—many of the tournament knights formerly affiliated with other companies—have suddenly rebelled! They are attacking our knight army!"

"Rebellion?"

Charne was stunned, and he also saw the situation at the entrance through the surveillance system.

"Plastic Knight...!?"

In the picture, the Plastic Knight Serchiak led a dozen or so competitive knights who originally belonged to different factions and rushed in from the entrance. Behind them were countless people who were instigated for some reason and rushed back to the scene for fun.

"I heard the Business Association is afraid that the Deer-Headed Death God will take this championship, so contrary to their original plan, they're preparing to kill the Deer-Headed Knight!"

"Really? These guys are such bastards!"

"Who cares! With so many knights fighting in a group, I'm going to watch this to the end no matter what!"

[Knight Competition], its predecessor was proposed by "Doctor". The original intention was to absorb the redundant knights and let the people experience the activities of knight competition. Under the corruption of the business association, it gradually became a gimmick, a show that puts interests and capital above all else.

Chivalric competitions changed these audiences, and these audiences also pushed chivalric competitions to become more distorted.

But the backlash finally occurred. These "pure fun people" didn't even care about the threat of the army knights, they simply wanted to find the so-called illusory gimmicks.

"Plastic Knight...! Stop what you're doing right now! Do you know what your actions mean?"

Seeing the original blockade being broken and the knight army being surrounded, Charne hurriedly took out his cell phone and called the Plastic Knight.

"Mr. Spokesperson? I'm certainly aware of the consequences of my current actions, but I'm tired of continuing to serve you like a dog. Now is our only chance to fight back."

There was no threat or fear in Serkiak's voice. He knew very well what his actions meant, and even so, he did not hesitate at all.

"You... you are such a fool! Have you forgotten that you have a son? What will happen to your son if he betrays the Trade Union? Are you—"

"It is precisely because my child thinks I am a 'real knight' that I finally made up my mind to stand here! He has so much trust in me, an incompetent fake knight. Since that's the case, of course I must do what a knight should do! Even the ignorant girl of the Linguang family dared to move forward, and even the infected Orson who does not belong to Casimir has sacrificed so much for this country of knights. How can I continue to use [life] as an excuse to continue to escape!"

After hanging up the phone, the Plastic Knight swung his sword and knocked down a war knight who was rushing towards him, then aimed the crossbow on his arm at a crossbowman in the distance who was about to attack Orson.

"Thanks for your help - Mr. Serkiak!"

Orson showed a happy expression after seeing the Plastic Knight.

"There's nothing to be thankful for. If you hadn't come, I might have lived my entire life in a muddle-headed state until I was no longer useful and was disposed of one day."

The Plastic Knight led several other rebellious arena knights to attack the inside of the arena.

"All the knights standing here are attracted by the long-lost [chivalry] in you and Maria. You are the most important guide for all of us gathered here—"

"So, Sir Knight, what shall we do next?"

"'Sir Knight'... that sounds embarrassing. Well then, take down all these stubborn guys! Let Maria and the others complete their mission!"

Orson rubbed his hair shyly, and then gave orders like a general on the battlefield.

however--

"Oh huh...! Yes, a true patriot!"

"That deer head... Can I touch your antlers?"

"Real, real patriot, ah I'm dead."

None of the knights paid any attention to Orson, all their attention was drawn to the Patriot.

"...Hahaha, that's right, I knew it would be like this."

Orson took some time out from his busy schedule to grow mushrooms in the corner.

89. Machima Linguang

While Orson was causing chaos in the Knight Arena, the Mishko Group headquarters building——

"Hello, I'm Machima, who made an appointment to visit the Mieszko Technology Exhibition. This is my... uh, my sister, Pavazi."

A girl with long pink hair and wearing a curvy shirt, tie and trousers came to the reception desk of the Mieszko Group. Next to her was a girl with long blond hair, wearing sunglasses and a head shorter than her.

"You're speaking incoherently, Onee-sama. Could it be that your social anxiety has gotten worse again?"

The Kuranta girl called 'Pawazi' gave 'Machima' a mischievous smile, but 'Machima' could only give an awkward smile and ignored her.

"Let me see... Well, you do have an appointment, so please take the elevator on the right to the third floor. Also, please note that the Mieszko Group is currently on high alert for some reason. Please do not wander around without permission, as this could put you in unnecessary danger."

The front desk receptionist confirmed today's guests, then informed the two of some precautions and signaled to the security guard next to him to let them pass.

"Well……"

“Aiya, what are you standing there for, Onee-sama? Have you been out for so long that your mind has gone blank… Uwaaaaa?!”

"Ahaha, you really dare to say anything... Looks like I, your 'onee-sama', need to teach you a lesson!"

The taller 'elder sister' seemed a little angry and embarrassed. She hugged her 'sister' into her arms, then clenched her fists and pressed them against both sides of her 'sister's' head, spinning them vigorously.

"Stupid, stupid—it hurts!"

"This is what happens when you disobey 'Onee-sama'. Learn it with your body!"

The two of them passed through security and entered the elevator in such a mess.

——They are really a pair of sisters with a close relationship.

The staff in the hall all sighed like this.

After entering the elevator and the door closed, 'sister' released her hands and sighed heavily.

“I actually managed to get away with it…”

"Sister Makima"—that is, Maria Linguang whispered with some fear.

"You're so nervous, you act like an idiot, and... it hurts like hell. Are all you female knights just strong, brainless gorillas?"

'Sister Pawako' - that is, Shirogane rubbed her head and complained.

"This has nothing to do with the Knights. This is my first time sneaking into an enemy base disguised as an identity. I have absolutely no experience at all. Miss Platinum, please at least stop being so venomous!"

Maria complained angrily. She was very unhappy with Platinum's constant mockery of her.

"Hey, you're worthy of being the glamorous and innocent knight. I guess you fooled Orson with your harmless and naive behavior, didn't you?"

Platinum continued to mock Maria while pressing the high-floor button that was expressly prohibited.

"This, this has nothing to do with Orson! On the contrary, Miss Platinum, what are you thinking? You are obviously a knight killer of the No Helmet Alliance, but you are so close to Orson. Are you trying to use Orson?"

"Who knows."

Bai Jin shrugged. In fact, in a sense, this was the true answer. This former tool killer of the Unfettered Alliance was basically as ignorant as Maria in terms of "feelings".

——We must keep a close eye on Miss Platinum!

Maria thought so in her heart.

—We can’t let this stupid colt take Orson away.

Bai Jin thought so in his heart.

The two of them had their own little thoughts. At the same time, the elevator arrived at the floor and the door opened.

"Stop! Who are you? This floor is off-limits!"

As soon as the two left the elevator, two security guards immediately surrounded them.

"Onee-sama, are we on the wrong floor?"

"That's right, sister. I'm so sorry, we seem to have pressed the wrong elevator. Could you tell us which floor the Mieszko Industrial Technology Exhibition Hall is on?"

The two people who were still at loggerheads a few seconds ago immediately became close to each other after seeing outsiders.

"The technology exhibition is on the 3rd floor! You guys are running all the way to the 17th floor—Pfft!?"

The two security guards walked up to the two of them while complaining, but before they could finish their words, Platinum and Maria knocked the two security guards down in unison, one on the left and one on the right.

"The cooperation is surprisingly tacit...it actually feels a bit weird."

Maria frowned and complained as she dragged the security guard to the locker room where the camera was blind spot.

“It’s hard not to support that.”

Platinum also took off the "Victoria Princess Knight Maid" wig and took out a Rhodes Island-made carbon fiber crossbow from behind and equipped it with it.

"Anyway, the only good news is that we finally don't have to play house anymore. Three floors up is the office of the president of the Mieszko Group."

"Who is it—Pfft!"

As Bai Jin spoke, he used a crossbow to nail several guards who rushed over to the wall.

"I think you're enjoying this, Ms. Platinum (referring to making fun of yourself)... Anyway, please leave it to me from now on."

"My leg injury hasn't fully healed yet, so I can't run around like a madman with you. But I'll be stationed on this floor, giving you and the mastermind plenty of time alone together."

Maria took out the combat equipment that she had asked the Mishko Industries Rebel Knight to hide in advance from the storage room. After she was fully armed, she nodded to Platinum.

"Hello, Lin Guang's family."

When Maria was about to continue climbing upstairs, she was suddenly stopped by Bai Jin.

"You may encounter Casimir's harshest reality ahead. When everything you believe in is denied by 'the one who controls this country,' can you still maintain that utterly childish 'chivalry'?"

"...To be honest, I don't know, but I will try my best."

Maria smiled at Shirogane.

"Orson, Auntie, Miss Tallulah, Dr. Kelsey—so many people chose to believe in me, and I believe in them too. That's why I'm here right now, isn't it? Even if everything I have is denied, I still have the support of my companions, so—don't worry, I'll get it done."

"Good luck to you then."

After hearing Maria's answer, Platinum nodded and then took the initiative to trigger the alarm on this floor.

The alarm sounded instantly and the floor was blocked instantly, but it also meant that no one would pass by here to disturb the young Pegasus for the time being.

—Chivalry, huh… Seriously, I'm a member of the Helmetless Alliance for nothing. After all, stupid actions like [staying behind] are usually the stuff of knights with a weak mind, right?

Bai Jin smiled bitterly, then picked up the crossbow and guarded the only passage.

90. The office slave hits someone!

"Grandpa, why do you always sigh?"

"Haha, did you notice? I'm sorry for letting you see my gloomy face. As for why I sighed, it's probably because I watched Casimir become more and more unfamiliar, but I couldn't do anything about it."

I remember that one time when I went to play in my grandfather's study, I saw "Silver Spear Pegasus" who looked unusually serious and distressed.

"There are more and more things I cannot understand, things I do not agree with but cannot change, and these things are constantly eroding and corroding our country from all sides."

"Even Grandpa can't change it? Grandpa, aren't you super powerful, the Silver Spear Pegasus admired by everyone?"

Young Maria asked curiously, but the old knight just smiled and rubbed Maria's head.

"Those titles merely confirm my experiences fighting in war. Such titles and identities can't change anything, they only bring fear to others. I'm sorry, you don't understand these things yet, Maria."

"Hmm...I really don't understand, but if Grandpa can't change it, then leave it to me!"

Young Maria did not understand the old knight's worries, but she still patted her chest and expressed her willingness to share.

"Hahaha, I'll leave it to you, Maria."

Grandfather smiled and ruffled Maria's golden hair.

"You must be unique, the light that illuminates Casimir—"

--------

"Aha!"

Boom!
