“I…
won’t leave here.” Looking at the two waiting for her answer, Griseo gently shook her little head, her eyes full of seriousness.
“But, you would live a better life in a normal family.
You could have a normal life, without hunger, and without danger.” Although she heard Griseo’s answer, Tallulah still hesitated and tried to persuade her.
Tallulah didn’t actually dislike this Little one who had only been here for two days; one could even say she quite liked her.
After all, who doesn’t like a cute and obedient child?
But precisely because of her affection, and understanding what they would face next, she was now wavering and had the idea of sending Griseo to a safe place.
“Hmm…
Little Griseo, can you tell Sister why?” Looking at the serious-faced Griseo, Alina slowly stood up, walked to her side, and asked in a gentle tone.
As for Griseo, Alina was even more reluctant than Tallulah, but she also couldn’t deny that what Patriot had said earlier was indeed very reasonable.
“Because Griseo doesn’t want to leave you…
I’ll be very good.” Looking at the gentle Alina beside her, Griseo said earnestly.
And whenever this happened, Griseo would resent her seemingly overly young body.
Because it completely made her words unconvincing…
Everyone would only treat her as a child.
“Is that so…” Upon hearing this, Alina reached out and gently stroked Griseo’s little head, then looked at Tallulah.
And after Alina looked at Tallulah, Griseo immediately followed suit, turning her gaze to her, staring intently with her large, expectant eyes.
“Sigh…
In that case, if you don’t want to leave, then stay for now.
I remember you seem to have a Mr.
Knight, who should be able to protect you in the camp.
As for other things, we’ll talk about them when you’re a bit older.” Looking at the expectation in Griseo’s large eyes, Tallulah sighed helplessly, then said softly.
“As for Patriot, I’ll convince him.” “…Tallulah is so good.” As Tallulah’s words fell, the expectation in Griseo’s eyes instantly turned into joy, and she cheered in a calm tone.
Although with Griseo’s strength, even without the leader Tallulah’s permission, she could steadily follow the Reunion Movement.
But secretly following behind and acting together legitimately certainly meant something entirely different.
However, speaking of danger, Griseo actually felt that in all senses, she was much more dangerous than the Infected…
“That name again.
You, Little one, aren’t even willing to call me’Sister’.” Looking at Griseo, whose eyes were full of joy, Tallulah couldn’t help but reach out again and pinch her little face.
“Hmm…
Sister Tallulah.” After hearing Tallulah’s words, Griseo thought for a moment, then changed her way of addressing her.
“You…
never mind, at least you called me’Sister’.” Griseo’s changed-but-not-quite-changed address made Tallulah even more helpless.
However, the curve of her lips at this moment betrayed the fact that she was in a good mood.
“So…
I…
can I sleep with Sister Tallulah tonight?” As if sensing Tallulah was in a good mood, Griseo asked about something she had been thinking about since earlier.
She hadn’t forgotten that Tallulah had seen the painting but was completely fine.
To prevent any delayed effects, Griseo still planned to stay with Tallulah tonight and observe her closely.
“Hmm?
Why do you suddenly want to sleep with me?
Don’t you like sticking to Alina?” Upon hearing this, Tallulah released her hand from pinching Griseo’s little face and asked, somewhat curious.
“The painting…
it’s very strange, I want to look at it again.
So I want to be with Sister Tallulah tonight.” Griseo didn’t hide her thoughts; she told the truth directly.
“Oh, so that’s why.
No problem.” Although Tallulah hadn’t witnessed the painting’s power and hadn’t noticed any abnormalities in her body, she hadn’t fully believed Alina’s talk of “the painting’s magic.” However, not fully trusting was one thing, but fulfilling the Little one’s small wish was another.
“…” After Tallulah agreed, Griseo looked at Alina beside her, silently asking.
“Hehe~” Alina chuckled, nodded, and then teased, “Go on, I’m entrusting Tallulah to your care tonight, Little Griseo~” “Mm, I will.” Saying this, the Little Girl obediently nodded.
“What do you mean?
I’m the one taking care of Griseo!” Hearing her best friend’s teasing, Tallulah laughed and argued, “And you, Little one, actually nodded!” “Hehe~” “Alina, you’re still laughing!” …After this exchange, Griseo was allowed to stay, and tonight she successfully followed Tallulah to her tent.
———————————————— In the dark of night— “Alright, go to bed early.
I saw you yawning a lot earlier.” Tallulah stood by her bed, reached out, and stroked Griseo’s little head.
“Mm, then what about Sister Tallulah?” “Me?
I still have some things to look at.
I’ll go to bed later.” Tallulah pointed a finger at a nearby table.
Hearing this, Griseo could only nod helplessly and softly said, “Okay… Sister Tallulah, remember to rest early.” As the leader of the Reunion Movement, Tallulah naturally had many matters to handle.
However, in this regard, Griseo was completely unable to help.
But she had already decided to find a time to properly demonstrate her strength in front of Tallulah, the leader.
Because Griseo no longer wanted to be protected like a child; she wanted to protect others, and she could fight, and she was very strong.
Of course, Griseo had made dual preparations for wanting to participate in actions.
If, after she showed her strength, Tallulah and the others still didn’t let her participate… Griseo planned to intervene with a different identity… You see, she spent even longer in Yelena’s arms tonight than yesterday, and the unlock progress for [Katsana] Sakura directly jumped to 75%.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would only need to cuddle once more, and Griseo could unlock a new identity.
Then, at worst, she would just use Sakura to return to her old profession.
“…” Lost in thought, Griseo, lying on the bed, gradually felt sleepiness creeping in, and finally slowly drifted into slumber, off to meet Mr.
Knight.
And in the entire tent, besides Griseo’s steady breathing, there was only the rustling sound of Tallulah writing…
But, after an unknown amount of time…
“!” ————————
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!”
