“Speaking of which, did we forget something?” After the two chatted for a while longer and discussed solutions, Tallulah suddenly looked up and scanned her surroundings as if remembering something.
“…?” Led by Tallulah, Alina also raised her head and looked around with her.
“Griseo…
she’s gone!” As both of them looked around and realized what was missing, their expressions stiffened slightly.
Almost simultaneously, both of them quickly stood up…
and began searching for the Little Girl with blue hair from their memories.
But the tent was only so big; if she wasn’t seen at a glance, it could basically be confirmed that she wasn’t here.
“Little Griseo must have run out, let’s go find her quickly.” Saying this, the anxious Alina hurriedly ran outside.
In Alina’s eyes, Griseo was a child she brought back, and a non-Infected one at that…
If, due to her oversight, something happened to her…
Little Deer couldn’t even imagine it.
Evidently, the anxious Alina had completely forgotten about the Guardian Knight beside the Little Girl at this moment…
“Don’t be too anxious, within the camp…
there shouldn’t be too big of a problem.” Looking at her anxious best friend, Tallulah was somewhat helpless but also quickly followed.
———————————————— “Hmm…
ah.” Sitting by the campfire, Griseo, who had been listening to everyone tell stories, suddenly yawned slowly, and a hint of sparkle appeared in her large purple eyes.
“Are you sleepy?” Noticing the Little Girl sitting beside her yawn, Yelena asked in a gentle voice.
After this evening’s contact, Yelena’s heart was filled with affection for Griseo, this cute, well-behaved, cold-Not afraid, and approachable Little Girl, and her voice was no longer as cold.
Hearing Yelena’s question, Griseo gently nodded her little head, then softly said: “A little…
Usually at this time, Mother Aponia would already be calling me to bed.” As she spoke, Griseo relaxed her body and leaned gently against Yelena’s shoulder.
“Is Aponia Griseo’s mother?
Speaking of which, why did you come here with Alina?” After hearing Griseo’s words, Yelena immediately caught the keywords and asked with a hint of confusion in her tone.
Yelena, like Tallulah before her, was very curious about the origin of this Little one who was close to her.
Because her attire, temperament, and even her special qualities…
none of them seemed like a child from an ordinary family, and there were no visible racial features on her surface.
And as Yelena asked, almost everyone around quietly perked up their ears, planning to eavesdrop.
“Mother Aponia…
is Mother Aponia.” “Because I had nowhere to go, I followed Sister Alina here.” Griseo thought for a moment about Yelena’s confusion, then explained seriously.
“Then where is your mother, Little Griseo?
Uh…
of course, if it’s inconvenient to say, then never mind.” Overhearing this, Lois, who was sitting not far away, suddenly asked out of curiosity.
However, after speaking, she realized it was inappropriate and added another sentence at the end.
“I don’t know where Mother Aponia is either.
I think I slept for a very long time, and when I woke up again…
I was in the snow, and then I met Sister Alina…” Griseo didn’t feel offended by Lois’s question; she just gently shook her head and explained.
“So that’s how it is…” Upon hearing this, Lois nodded gently.
But just as she was about to say something else…
“Alright, let’s put this topic aside for now.
It’s getting late, I’ll take you back.” Yelena glanced at Griseo’s big eyes, still sparkling with a hint of crystalline, then interrupted the conversation.
“Indeed, it’s getting late, and good children should go to sleep~” “Right, right, right, Griseo shouldn’t be like us adults, children should sleep early.” “See you tomorrow, cute Little Griseo~” “Hmm…
alright then.” Listening to the suggestions of those around her, Griseo gently hugged Yelena’s cold arm, buried her delicate little face into it, and then said muffledly.
Mainly, before she transmigrated, Griseo definitely wouldn’t have gone to bed this early, but this body…
had been accustomed to fixed sleep times by Aponia a long time ago, so she was already feeling sleepy at this moment.
Looking at the little adorable one acting spoiled, Yelena gently curved her lips, stroked Griseo’s little head, and then gently picked her up.
“…?” Griseo, whose little head was invaded by sleepiness and had just acted spoiled, evidently didn’t expect to be directly picked up by Yelena.
However, Griseo didn’t struggle, just let the White Rabbit carry her back.
After all, sticking close isn’t shameful…
Then, on the way back, Yelena directly ran into the two people who had come out looking for Griseo.
Finally, although she felt a little reluctant, she returned the child to them.
…
Then, because there were no extra beds in the tent, and Alina wasn’t comfortable letting Griseo sleep with others, the Little Girl slept with Little Deer tonight.
Griseo still had no objections to this.
Although it would be a bit unfamiliar, she also didn’t want to trouble others…
After a simple wash-up with Alina, Griseo lay down on the bed—the first bed she had encountered since arriving in this world.
Once on the bed, Griseo closed her eyes, appearing to be asleep.
But in reality, she was just checking the system panel in her mind; she wanted to see the unlock progress.
The system had been silent since its initial unlock notification, so she had to check it herself.
Opening the character interface, Griseo immediately saw Sakura, the only Valkyrie among them with unlock progress.
And now, thanks to her efforts, Sakura’s unlock progress had reached 36%.
After confirming the progress, Griseo exited the panel and truly went to sleep.
She had experienced too much today, and with the overwhelming drowsiness, Little Girl quickly fell asleep.
Alina, who had originally intended to ask some questions, decided against it when she saw Griseo’s adorable sleeping face.
After blowing out the candle, she also got into bed.
