Tonight was similar to yesterday for Griseo…
After dinner, she stayed in Yelena’s arms, listening to the Snow Monsters tell stories.
During this time, the Little Girl even took on Yelena’s color once due to close contact, but it didn’t last long before fading.
However, Griseo had remembered the color.
She planned to find some time later to use this color to paint a picture and give it to Yelena as a gift.
“Hmm…” Suddenly thinking of something, Griseo snuggled deeper into Yelena’s embrace, trying to transfer as much of her body heat as possible to warm her body.
“What’s wrong?” Yelena looked down at the Little one who had snuggled deeper into her arms, asking in a gentle tone.
“Big Sister Yelena’s body…
and everyone…
Griseo can also fight; I want to protect you.” Hearing Yelena’s gentle voice, the small tuft of hair on Griseo’s head trembled.
After a moment, she looked up, her eyes filled with seriousness.
Although Griseo didn’t know what the Yeti Squad had gone out to do today, after prolonged contact with Yelena’s body, she noticed that the person in front of her seemed a bit weaker compared to yesterday…
This led Griseo to overthink…
Finally, she came up with what she considered to be the most reasonable explanation.
She guessed that the Yeti Squad must have encountered some enemy today, and then Yelena had taken action, using her Originium Arts, which deepened her oripathy, leading to her weakness.
This conjecture made Griseo’s mood, which had previously brightened due to the Yeti Squad’s comfort and the warm yellow embrace, plummet again.
A feeling of powerlessness welled up in her heart.
At this moment, Griseo truly and deeply realized that…
this continent devoured people, and it especially liked to devour white-haired individuals.
And, for the first time, she felt the urgency of time…
Even though “Griseo” was not highly ranked among the Honkai Warriors, she was still very strong for the people of this world.
However, this strength was useless now…
because power alone could not snatch back the people she wanted to protect from the grasp of oripathy.
“…” Hearing Griseo’s sudden words, Yelena and the surrounding Snow Monsters were slightly stunned.
The atmosphere in this area instantly quieted down.
“I didn’t expect you to notice…
But don’t worry, Big Sister is fine.” After reacting, Yelena reached out her hand and gently stroked Griseo’s small head, comforting her.
After discovering Griseo’s special qualities, Yelena had long stopped treating her as an ordinary child.
So, when the Little one noticed her weakness, she wasn’t very surprised.
But, even if she wasn’t ordinary, Yelena didn’t think she was so weak that she needed to be protected by a child.
“Hahaha, Little Griseo, we appreciate your sentiment, but Big Brothers and Big Sisters haven’t fallen yet.
How can we let a child like you stand in front of us?” “That’s right, that’s right, Little Griseo doesn’t need to worry, we’re still in good health!” “Exactly, we can still fight for a long time.
As for Big Sister, we will protect her well too, after all, she is our Snow Monster Princess!” …
“…” Listening to the comfort, seeing the atmosphere become lively again, and the warm yellow colors surging around her, this time, Griseo couldn’t feel happy at all.
She knew that the people around her were all big liars who tricked children…
they only said things they couldn’t accomplish.
However…
it was precisely because of this that Griseo wanted to make these words come true, one by one.
—————— After discussing with Patriot on Tallulah’s side, Alina came over to pick up Griseo.
Although the conversation with Patriot had made Little Deer’s mood somewhat complicated, she hadn’t forgotten the other thing she had to do tonight.
However, when she picked up Griseo, the observant Alina keenly noticed the Little one’s unhappiness, but she didn’t rush to ask…
It wasn’t until they had left the crowded area and were almost back at the tent that Alina asked: “What’s wrong?
You seem so unhappy tonight.” “I’m just thinking about how I can protect everyone…” In response to Alina’s question, Griseo raised her small head and answered calmly.
“Hmm?
Why did Little Griseo suddenly think of that?” Clearly, Alina was somewhat surprised by this answer.
“…Because I’m not a child anymore.” After a moment of silence, Griseo ultimately didn’t reveal the real reason.
Because speaking it out would be useless and would only affect others’ moods.
At this moment, Griseo yearned to unlock new characters more than ever.
If before it was a matter of fate, now, having witnessed Yelena’s deteriorating physical condition, she was anxious…
truly anxious!
Although she knew that everyone in the Reunion Movement was Infected, she never thought it would be so fast!
So fast that Griseo felt as if she saw Death holding a scythe to everyone’s necks, awaiting their demise…
Therefore, the ranking of characters Griseo wanted to transform into had changed.
Mobius became the first, and Senti, Aponia, all had to move down the list…
After all, no matter how one looked at it, saving lives was more important than dealing with a black snake.
“I see…
If you want to protect your Big Sisters, Griseo, then grow up quickly.” Listening to Griseo’s childish remarks, Alina didn’t realize anything was amiss; she just helplessly ruffled her head again.
“Mm.” Hearing this, Griseo gently nodded her small head.
However, even though she nodded in agreement, Griseo knew very well that her body could not grow up.
From the moment she became a Fusion Warrior, her body had been set.
“So don’t overthink things, children should smile more.” …
Not long after the two returned to the tent, Tallulah also arrived from outside.
“So, Alina, why did you call me over?
Is there something else?” Tallulah asked, looking at the large and small figures in front of her, somewhat puzzled.
Before Alina could speak, Griseo looked at Tallulah with wide eyes and said, “It’s not Big Sister Alina who has something, but me…” “I used your color, Tallulah, to paint a picture, and I want to give it to you…” As her words fell, Griseo took out the painting, which was covered by a canvas, from her system space.
Once the painting was out, she turned her gaze to Alina, who was standing beside her.
Alina immediately understood Griseo’s meaning, and after a slight nod, she walked out of the tent, leaving the two alone.
“?” Tallulah, who didn’t quite understand why Alina would avoid them, looked at the Little one in front of her with a puzzled expression, wanting an answer.
“Here…
Tallulah, open it and see.” ————————
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
