Chapter 6: Bianka's Knight Observation

"Alas..."

At this moment, a blonde girl with blue eyes, wearing Kazimierz-style clothing, stood on the roadside of a bustling city. She sighed softly with a helpless expression.

Yes, she was Bianka, or Durandal, who was summoned by Sakura and then driven out by Mebius.

The reason for being driven out was simple: to let her complete the first step of her exclusive mission and get to know Maria as Bianka.

If it were another character, she might have directly contacted the "target" by now. After all, the reward for this exclusive mission was as generous as the last time and very suitable for Bianka.

However, it was precisely because she was Bianka that she could not take the initiative to contact others for the sake of interests and with a purpose.

She disdained doing such things, as it violated the morals she set. Even if she was not the real "Bianka," it was still the same.

So, Bianka, standing on the roadside, fell into confusion. She found that if she didn't go to find Maria, she didn't know what she wanted to do in this strange yet familiar city...

"It would be great if Rita was here."

Bianka stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, muttering softly.

After saying that, she seemed to make up her mind and stopped standing there stupidly, deciding to take action.

Although Bianka had learned about this strange city through other memories shared with herself and even felt disgusted with it and the unspoken rules here, she really had nothing to do now.

In addition, she didn't want to approach Maria directly, so she planned to just walk around the city.

Having made a decision, Bianka was quick in action, wandering directly in Kawalerielki, observing with her big blue eyes.

On the Street Side

"It looks like you're going to be rich this time."

"Hahaha, not really, I just made it through the points race. It's not as exaggerated as you say... But if I can keep it steady, I shouldn't be short of money this time!"

"Yeah, I really envy you. If I want to stand out this time, I need to accumulate more points."

"Come on, being a knight is still very profitable. It seems I didn't make the wrong choice back then."

"..."

Stopping by the roadside out of curiosity and heard such a conversation, Bianka fell into silence and her expression became not very good.

Although she had known the situation here for a long time, when she really saw the existence of "Knights" who had no chivalry at all, she still felt a little angry in her heart.

At this moment, Bianka felt as if something she had always admired and respected was being trampled underfoot without a care.

In her eyes, this kind of Knight who is purely for money and allows himself to be watched like a toy in the arena is not worthy of being called a knight.

"Huh—"

However, even if she was a little angry, Bianka knew that she should not vent her anger on these innocent competitive knights.

So, after taking a deep breath to calm down, she turned around and left.

"Sure enough, this place is not suitable for me..."

...

After leaving, Bianka walked a long way, and the distance became more and more remote, away from the hustle and bustle of the center of this prosperous city.

Walking on the quiet streets with much less traffic on the edge of the city, Bianka relaxed a lot, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided as time passed.

However, this quietness and relaxation did not last too long, and a noisy sound came into Bianka's sensitive ears again.

"You rats from the gutter... actually want to participate in the knight competition? It's a pipe dream... Infected rats like you should die!"

"Yes, yes, you? You can't even get into the arena... Hahaha!"

"We are not rats!"

"..."

After hearing the noisy sound, Bianka frowned slightly and walked towards it.

Then, when she arrived at the alley where the sound came from, she saw bullying, or more precisely, bullying of ordinary people against infected people.

Two injured infected children were supporting each other, with unwilling eyes, stubbornly refuting the group of older children who surrounded them.

Seeing this scene, Bianka frowned even more deeply, and a hint of disapproval flashed in her beautiful blue eyes. However, before she could intervene, a quarrel broke out again in the alley.

"You are rats! Rats in the gutter, that's what my dad told me. You're still stubborn, do you want to suffer more?" The leading child said disdainfully, throwing the stone in his hand as if threatening to throw it.

After that, the child suddenly showed a wicked smile. Without any signs or hesitation, he directly threw the stone in his hand at the two infected children in front of him.

"Bang—"

However, this stone did not hit the target as the children expected. Instead, it was caught by a slender hand before hitting them.

"!"

This sudden change startled all the children present, and some of them even froze in place.

"Trampling on other people's ideals and dreams is the most shameful thing in my opinion. If you do it again, I will never let you off easily!"

Bianka, standing in front of the two infected children, warned the evil children in front of her. At the same time, she did not stop the movement of her hands. She used a little of her strength and crushed the stone into powder in front of everyone.

"!"

These children who bullied others had never seen such scene. They were all shocked when they saw the powder slipping from Bianka's fingers.

"Boss..."

"Let's go..."

After that, they all ran away in a hurry, fearing that they would be caught by Bianka if they were a step late and become like the stone.

"Ah..."

Looking at the people who ran away in a hurry, Bianka's beautiful blue eyes flashed a complicated feeling, and then she sighed softly.

"Are you all okay?"
