About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter titled "Race Horse Girls," Orson finds himself in the knightly kingdom of Kasimir, being pulled at high speed by Maria Nearl, a determined girl from the renowned Nearl family. They are trying to escape unknown pursuers, and while Orson, who has trained extensively, struggles to keep up with Maria, he is eager to protect her. Maria's appearance is disheveled after training, and she initially seems flustered by Orson's visit, hinting at a crisis that isn’t as dire as he assumes. Orson learns that Maria wants him to sign a contract related to a new competitive event called the “First Pretty Derby Competition,” which is a shift from traditional knightly jousting to a more entertainment-focused format. The event emphasizes youth and fun rather than knightly titles. Although suspicious of Maria's earnestness, Orson agrees to help her. As tensions rise, Maria rushes Orson to a family restaurant to sign the contract, but just as he is about to, an arrow—actually a suction cup—hits Maria on the forehead, revealing the presence of Kazalak and Platinum, two familiar faces with a playful demeanor. They demonstrate their concern for Orson, pointing out that Maria has been overly zealous in her efforts to make him her trainer for the competition, which involves more than just athletic training—it includes accompanying contestants on dates. Despite his initial reluctance, Orson is cornered by Maria and the other girls who are eager for him to sign the contract, leaving him feeling overwhelmed yet amused by the chaotic situation. The scene shifts to the Nearl family manor, a historical but modest estate that symbolizes the once-great legacy of the Nearl family and its contributions to Kasimir.
