6: Chapter 6:…What are you two doing?
In the quiet tent, after Griseo placed the final stroke of color on the canvas, her thoughts slowly began to withdraw from the painting, leaving the vibrant world in her eyes.
And the previously blank white canvas, after Griseo’s efforts, now displayed a perfect painting.
Warm yellow sunlight scattered over the lush green forest, casting dappled shadows.
On the forest path, a Little Deer with snow-white fur lay peacefully and quietly on the ground, as if asleep.
Passersby couldn’t help but lighten their steps, not wanting to disturb it.
However, upon closer inspection, the Little Deer’s snow-white fur subtly grew some black, hard substances of unknown meaning, and in the shadow behind the Little Deer, these hard substances even bloomed into an Originium flower, gleaming with a cold light and messy petals…
Fully emerging from her immersion, Griseo put down the palette and brush, gently blinked her dry eyes, and decided to rest for a while.
“Goo~” No sooner had she put down the brush than Griseo’s constantly hungry little stomach protested again.
At the same time, the hunger she had ignored while immersed in painting once again surged into the Little Girl’s heart.
Then, just as Griseo left her stool, intending to find something to eat, the orange scene, previously hidden by the easel, suddenly came into her large, violet eyes.
“?” Subsequently, a look of great confusion appeared in the Little Girl’s eyes.
“Sister Alina…
what are you two doing?” As the Little Girl’s voice rang out, the two who had been embracing instantly pushed each other away…
“Ahem…
nothing, just comforting your sister Tallulah…” Although it was the truth, for some reason, under Griseo’s innocent gaze, Alina suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
It made her feel as if she had truly been doing something illicit with Tallulah just now…
“Exactly, exactly…
Alina is right, she was just comforting me…
Ahem, Little one, are you finished with your painting?” After agreeing with Alina’s words, Tallulah disregarded her slightly flushed face and quickly turned to change the subject.
Like a certain Little Deer, she hadn’t felt anything at first…
but when she met the Little Girl’s innocent gaze, she, too, suddenly felt a shameful sense of guilt.
“Mm…
Sister Alina, I’m hungry.” Listening to their explanation, Griseo looked at the two for a while longer before gently nodding her little head.
“Then let’s eat.
Yelena already brought it over.” Gently stroking Griseo’s little head, Alina took her hand and walked towards the table.
“Yelena…?” Although she allowed Alina to lead her, Griseo, upon hearing a certain name, perked up her little antenna on her head, like a machine recognizing a keyword…
her heart became lively.
To be honest, Griseo, who had been engrossed in painting, truly hadn’t noticed Frostnova’s visit.
Otherwise, she might have gone to cuddle with the white rabbit.
After all, before her transmigration, she was also a Doctor who cried over Frostnova’s death…
“Little Griseo didn’t see Yelena just now?” Looking at the suddenly active little antenna on Griseo’s head, Alina couldn’t resist stroking it again before asking.
“When painting, this Little one only has eyes for her artwork; she doesn’t look at anything else or pay attention to anyone.” Before Griseo could answer, the voice of a certain dragon girl came over first.
“So that’s how it is.
Well, if there’s a chance later, I’ll introduce her to you again, Little Griseo.
Don’t let Yelena’s somewhat cold exterior fool you; she’s actually a very good person.” “Alright, hurry and eat.
Hmm…
it looks a bit cold.
I’ll go get you a fresh portion.
Just wait a little longer, Little Griseo.” After speaking, Alina picked up the meal in front of her and quickly walked out, leaving Tallulah and Griseo staring at each other.
But very quickly, Tallulah seemed to remember something.
Her expression changed, and after giving Griseo what she thought was a friendly smile, she carefully leaned in beside the Little Girl.
“Little one, your name is Griseo, right?” “Mm…
Tallulah, is something wrong?” Seeing Tallulah like this, Griseo tilted her head slightly and asked in a calm tone.
“Tallulah…?
Never mind, never mind.
Little Griseo, can you tell big sister what happened with Alina earlier?” This wasn’t the first time Tallulah had heard this address from Griseo.
Although she was a bit curious, it was clear that some things were more important in her heart.
“What happened earlier?
Mm…
Sister Alina and I met bad people, and then…
Mr.
Knight protected us.” Although a bit surprised that Alina hadn’t told Tallulah, Griseo chose to answer truthfully after a moment of thought.
“Then, Griseo, do you know who those bad people were?
And Mr.
Knight?” After hearing Griseo’s answer, Tallulah asked eagerly, her expression somewhat anxious.
“I don’t know…
Mr.
Knight is Mr.
Knight, you know?
Tallulah, do you want to meet Mr.
Knight?” Shaking her head, Griseo said with a serious look on her little face.
“I…” “Alright, come and eat, Griseo.
It’s getting late.” However, before Tallulah could continue to press, Alina’s voice came again, and she entered the tent carrying food.
Upon seeing the Little Deer, Tallulah temporarily put aside her intention to inquire further.
“Mm…
Coming.” …After dinner, Griseo walked to her still-standing easel and took down the painting she had just finished not long ago.
“?” She now intended to give this painting to Alina, who had provided the colors.
“Here, the painting…
it’s for you.” Saying this, Griseo gently raised the framed painting, handing her first work in this world to Alina.
“Little Griseo finished a painting so quickly, that’s amazing.
The painting is…” Alina, who had taken Griseo’s work and intended to praise it, suddenly trailed off mid-sentence…
all the unsaid words were swallowed whole.
And the reason for Miss Little Deer’s loss of composure was the painting in her hands.
One should know that the painting Griseo had created this time was not ordinary; besides being a beautiful and excellent work in itself, it also possessed a special power.
Although Griseo could also paint ordinary artworks, when she was influenced by a person’s colors, she would subconsciously use that person’s colors to create…
And in such cases, the resulting painting would carry magic.
It could distort people’s perception, revealing the deepest fears in their hearts, or even manifesting them…
However, everyone’s colors are different, so the “intensity” or outcome of the paintings created also varies.
So at this moment, even Griseo didn’t know what Alina ultimately saw in the painting…
She only knew that this painting wouldn’t manifest anything strange.
