“Mmm~” Griseo woke up around noon.
However, she didn’t wake up naturally; Mr.
Knight called her to eat.
“Still a bit sleepy…” After sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, Griseo fully woke up and slowly stretched.
Although she was still a bit sleepy, she didn’t plan to sleep anymore because she didn’t want to mess up her body’s time difference; it would be bad if she couldn’t sleep at night.
Just as Griseo was about to get out of bed, the azure Knight reappeared by the bed… and unlike before, when he was empty-handed, he was now holding a set of clothes.
Looking at the familiar clothes in Mr.
Knight’s hand, Griseo was first startled, then she softly asked, “Mr.
Knight, do you want me to wear these clothes today?” Griseo wasn’t surprised that Mr.
Knight could produce clothes, as it had always been this way.
Back in Flame-Chasers, Aponia, Eden, and the other female members had prepared all sorts of clothes for Little Girl, along with various other items.
These items were usually stored in the painting’s space, kept by Griseo’s Mr.
Knight, Madam, and other companions.
Facing Griseo’s question, the tall, azure Knight nodded gently and placed the neatly folded clothes on the bed.
“Alright then… In that case, Mr.
Knight, you should also change your outfit.” Looking at the red hood on the clothes on the bed, Griseo conjured her paintbrush, then selected a red color and rendered it towards Mr.
Knight in front of her.
Soon, enveloped in color, the azure Knight disappeared, replaced by the huge and majestic Mr.
Wolf, golden-red in hue.
“Hmm… Mr.
Wolf is very handsome.” Looking at Mr.
Knight, who had completely changed in color and appearance, Griseo gently nodded her Little head and praised him with a new title.
After being praised, Mr.
Wolf bowed gracefully and elegantly, then vanished into thin air.
After Mr.
Wolf disappeared, Griseo looked at the Little Red Riding Hood-themed outfit beside her.
Then, after taking off her original pure white dress, she gently changed into the lovely red clothes.
“Mmm…” Just as Griseo was looking down at her newly changed dress, the red Mr.
Wolf reappeared.
He moved to the bedside and began to tidy up the clothes her princess had just taken off.
Although the snow-white dress Little Girl had worn for two days showed no visible dirt, Mr.
Wolf would still tidy it up and take it back for cleaning.
“Hmm, thank you, Mr.
Wolf.” Watching Mr.
Wolf tidy up her discarded clothes and the bed, Griseo obediently thanked him before going to wash up… After washing up, Griseo stepped out of the tent; her stomach was a bit hungry, and she planned to go out to find something to eat.
However, it was clear that her outfit was quite conspicuous in the camp; the rate of people turning their heads to look was extremely high.
Finally, under the gaze of a group of people, Griseo passed through numerous tents and arrived at the usual dining area.
But because she was so conspicuous, before she even walked over, someone had already approached her.
“I didn’t see you at breakfast today, so you must be very hungry, right?
Come and eat with us… Also, these clothes suit you very well, you look adorable.” Walking up to Griseo, Yelena reached out and gently stroked her Little head, then said softly.
“Good afternoon, Sister Yelena…” Listening to Yelena’s gentle voice, Griseo greeted her, then actively took her cold hand.
“Good afternoon.” Feeling the warmth in her hand, Yelena gently curved her lips, then led the Little one towards the bonfire.
By the bonfire, the Yeti Squad also spoke up upon seeing the adorable Griseo.
“These clothes are so cute, they really suit Little Griseo.” “Yes, exactly, they’re perfect.” “So, why didn’t we see Little Griseo this morning?” … “…” While the Yeti Squad members were chattering and showing concern, one person, unusually, remained silent, staring intently at Griseo in thought.
“Lois, what are you staring at Little Griseo for?
So engrossed.” Just then, a Yeti Squad member noticed someone’s unusual behavior and curiously leaned over to ask.
“Nothing… I’m just curious why Little Griseo’s socks aren’t wet when she’s walking in the snow… And who designed socks that expose the toes and heels?” Lois didn’t hide anything from her friend who came over, directly stating what she had been thinking about.
“Hiss, now that you mention it… these socks are indeed strange.” “Right, right, it would be better to just go barefoot… It wouldn’t be Kosma again, would it?” “Hmm…?” Hearing their conversation, Griseo slowly raised her Little head, looked at them, paused, then softly explained, “My clothes… are very special; they don’t get dirty or wet.” “As for the socks, everyone prepared a lot of clothes for me… I don’t know who prepared them.” And it wasn’t just this one outfit; all of Griseo’s clothes had been specially treated so they wouldn’t get dirty.
The reason was that she used to easily get paint on her clothes when she painted, so everyone in Flame-Chasers collectively decided to specially treat all her clothes.
“Wow, such magical clothes!” “They are indeed magical, but no matter how magical, they can’t bypass that hateful, bad taste!” “Alright, let’s stop chatting for now; you all hurry up and eat.
Here, have some hot soup first.” Just as the Yeti Squad members were still discussing non-stop, Yelena, the leader sitting beside Griseo, spoke up.
While speaking, she didn’t forget to hand a bowl of hot soup to Little Girl.
“Hmm… Thank you, Sister Yelena.” …Throughout lunch today, Griseo did not see Tallulah and Alina.
After asking Yelena, she learned that the two had been discussing matters in the tent from this morning until now… After lunch, the Yeti Squad, uncharacteristically, did not continue to chat and play around, but instead dispersed to prepare their things.
“I’m sorry, I can’t accompany you today, Griseo.
You go find Alina and them.
Sister will be back as soon as possible.” Watching her teammates scatter, Yelena bent down and gently ruffled Griseo’s Little head, then said with a hint of apology.
“Hmm, it’s alright… Please be careful.” Hearing this, Griseo gently nodded, indicating that she understood.
At this point, Little Girl knew that the Yeti Squad was going on a mission this afternoon.
After another pat on Griseo’s head, Yelena also left to prepare her things.
Sitting in her original spot, watching Frostnova’s retreating back, a glimmer suddenly flashed in Griseo’s large eyes.
“A mission…?” Chapter 25: Following Along Griseo suddenly had an idea about the Yeti Squad’s mission.
She wanted to go on the mission with Yelena… However, knowing that she would absolutely not be allowed to follow along, Griseo didn’t plan to rush in directly, but instead intended to secretly follow behind.
Once she had the idea, she began to prepare… The first step was to return to Tallulah’s tent, take out a piece of drawing paper, draw some words with her paintbrush, and then place this “note” on the neatly folded quilt.
Afterward, Griseo took her Little steps and left the tent… walking towards the vicinity of the Yeti Squad’s tent.
Although Griseo currently had no way to directly cure Yelena’s oripathy, she could try to prevent her from overusing her Arts.
Little Girl had already made her plan: she intended to follow secretly… If there were no major situations, she wouldn’t intervene or expose herself.
But if the Yeti Squad encountered danger, or if Yelena needed to use her abilities extensively and frequently, Griseo planned to step in and resolve the situation.
Of course, if she could do this under another identity, it would certainly be better.
Even if her whereabouts were exposed and she was discovered, it wouldn’t matter, as the Yeti Squad didn’t recognize her other identities.
However, unfortunately, Griseo had not yet unlocked other characters; even the fastest to unlock, [Moment] Sakura, was still a bit short, with her current unlock progress only at 91%.
So, with no other option, Little Girl could only risk being lectured and secretly follow in her current identity… Finally, after Griseo waited in a corner for some time, Yelena and the Yeti Squad set off with their equipment and supplies.
And it was only when she wanted to follow that Little Girl realized that today, she really should not have worn her current Little Red Riding Hood-themed clothes.
The reason was simple: Griseo found that her red outfit was simply too conspicuous in the biting wind and vast, snowy wilderness.
It was so obvious that she could be spotted from a long distance away.
This meant that to avoid being discovered, she could only trail far behind, not daring to get too close.
But thankfully, today’s wind and snow weren’t too heavy, and the tracks weren’t covered by snow too quickly, allowing Griseo to barely keep up by following the traces.
However, there was one more thing she really wanted to complain about… That was, this time they weren’t walking on some forest path; the snow on the ground was very thick, and Griseo was very petite, which meant half her body sank into the snow…?
Originally, Mr.
Wolf wanted to carry her, but she refused him.
She was conspicuous enough on her own; if the tall Mr.
Wolf carried her, Griseo felt she would be discovered by the observant Yelena in minutes and sent back.
So, with no other option, to avoid being sent back, Little Girl had no choice but to “swim” through the snow.
Inside one of the camp’s tents— “We actually chatted for so long.
Little Griseo probably didn’t even eat breakfast, did she?” As if remembering something, Alina frowned slightly and stopped the previous topic.
“It seems so.
Is that Little one still sleeping?
We really should wake her up.” Hearing this, Tallulah nodded gently and said softly.
“Then let’s end our chat here for today.
We’ve talked about quite a bit, so let’s organize our thoughts now.” Saying this, Alina stood up from her stool and stretched her body.
After stretching her stiff body, she continued softly, “I’ll go call Little Griseo to eat.
If she sleeps too long during the day, she won’t be able to sleep at night.” “Go ahead.
I’ll continue to study the next plan.
I wonder how Yelena’s situation is.
After this operation, whether it succeeds or fails, we’ll have to change our Station again.” After nodding gently to Alina, Tallulah withdrew her gaze and refocused it on the map on the table.
“Mhm, don’t worry.
You have to trust Yelena…” Watching the serious-faced Tallulah, Alina showed a hint of helplessness and relief, then turned and left the tent.
Although she had experienced it herself and knew its magical aspects, seeing Tallulah now, she still couldn’t help but marvel at the power of Little Griseo’s ability.
?
…Gently lifting the tent flap of Tallulah’s tent, Alina peered in… but a quick glance revealed no one who should have been there.
“…” Frowning, Alina no longer moved lightly and quickly walked straight in.
But no matter how much she looked, she indeed didn’t see that familiar small figure in the tent.
Then, as her gaze swept over the neatly made bed again, Alina noticed the drawing paper placed on the quilt.
[If Big Sister Tallulah can’t find Griseo… don’t worry, I’m fine, very safe.
And I’m very capable…] ?
After seeing what was written on the paper, Alina’s frown deepened, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.
Finally, she crumpled the drawing paper in her hand, quickly turned, and left, going back to find Tallulah.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — As time passed, the sky over the snowfield grew darker, and the wind and snow gradually intensified… beginning to obstruct visibility.
“Hoo, it’s been so long.
Big Sister Alina and the others should have seen my note by now…” After exhaling a puff of warm air, Griseo temporarily stopped her steps and then muttered softly to herself.
Actually, Griseo could have left nothing for Alina and the others, sneaking out and sneaking back… But she didn’t want the two of them to worry too much and waste manpower looking for her, so she left a “note” in the end.
Moreover, Griseo was actually quite glad she left the note.
Because she hadn’t expected the Yeti Squad’s target to be so far away this time… She had been following them for several hours and still hadn’t reached their destination.
At this point, Griseo couldn’t give up halfway and turn back; she could only continue to follow.
However… “Mr.
Wolf…” At Griseo’s summons, the large and handsome Mr.
Wolf appeared.
After gracefully bowing, he gently picked up the Little Girl, holding her in his arms to shield her from the wind and snow as they continued forward.
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!”
