“Orange…” Griseo, standing not far away, her antenna-like hair swaying, looked at the two who were almost touching and let out a small sigh of admiration.
Then she quickly covered her face with her small hands.
Though she continued to watch the somewhat embarrassing scene through her fingers.
And this time, unlike before, even after hearing the Little Girl’s sigh, Alina showed no sign of backing down.
She continued to stare at Tallulah at such close proximity, wanting to get her promise.
“Uh…” Unlike Alina’s calm inquiry, Tallulah, the one being questioned…
was somewhat unable to remain calm at the moment.
Firstly, her best friend’s sudden seriousness made her realize the gravity of the previous events.
Secondly…
it was too close, too close.
Because of the close proximity, the warm breath Alina exhaled while speaking completely brushed against Tallulah’s face…
making it tingle and causing her face to involuntarily flush.
“I…
I promise!” After saying that, Tallulah quickly pushed Alina away, returning them to a normal distance.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll tell you.
Be mentally prepared, Tallulah…” …
Griseo, secretly watching the scene, quietly gave Alina a thumbs-up in her heart.
As expected of the Commissar, she’s amazing, she has Tallulah completely wrapped around her finger.
However, Griseo didn’t plan to keep peeking (openly watching) here, because she felt her blue hair was vaguely glowing, looking like a light bulb.
So, after a few more glances, she withdrew her gaze.
Then, the Little Girl carefully walked towards her easel.
Although Griseo’s exclusive weapon, Past’s Starry Sky, was also a painting tool, this complete set of tools rewarded by the system, from easel to paper and various pigments, was also very practical.
At least for painting, paper was indispensable.
So, after walking over, she carefully put all these tools back into her system space.
After doing all this, Griseo looked up at the two who were still “stuck” together, oblivious to her, and blinked gently.
Then she lightened her steps and walked towards the tent’s exit.
She wanted to go out for a stroll, not stay here and continue to be an outsider, although it seemed she could join in?
And so, a certain curious Little Girl successfully slipped out of the tent filled with orange hues.
…
But once she was actually outside, Griseo didn’t know what to do.
She looked up at the empty night sky, where snowflakes drifted, and a hint of confusion flashed in her violet eyes.
However, just as a certain Little Girl was spacing out, suddenly, a dark figure rushed towards her from a corner.
“Look what I found!” “You must be the child Alina brought back from outside, truly adorable.” The dark figure, upon reaching Griseo, immediately swept her into an embrace without a pause, excitedly shouting.
“!?” Suddenly embraced, Griseo instantly snapped out of her daze and instinctively looked with her big purple eyes at the ‘attacker’.
However, what first met Griseo’s eyes was not a person’s face, but a large hood with a wide circle of white fur…
only then did she see the face hidden beneath the hood.
Although she didn’t recognize the person in front of her, Griseo recognized their clothes…
and she recognized them very clearly.
So clearly that with just one glance, she could tell that this person was a member of the Yeti Squad led by Frostnova…
“Big Sister…
who are you?” Griseo didn’t struggle out of the person’s embrace, merely looked at her curiously, then asked seriously.
“Oh dear, my head.
You’re just too cute, Little one, so cute that I forgot to introduce myself.” At this question, the member of the Yeti Squad somewhat awkwardly released Griseo from her embrace.
Then she straightened up and introduced herself with a beaming smile.
“My name is Lois, and I’m a member of the Yeti Squad led by Big Sister~ And you, Little one?” “I…
am Griseo, a painter.” After silently remembering the person’s name, Griseo gave her first super formal introduction since arriving in this world.
“Griseo is a very nice name~ But, Little one, aren’t you dressed a bit too lightly?
Aren’t you cold?” Upon learning Griseo’s name, Lois praised her unreservedly.
However, noticing her light attire, her expression turned to worry.
She unbuttoned her thick winter coat and then pulled the Little Girl into her embrace, holding her tightly.
;?; Griseo, suddenly wrapped in warm clothing, paused slightly.
Then, struggling and standing on tiptoes, she poked her cute little head out of Lois’s coat and began to explain.
“Mm, it’s okay…
Griseo isn’t afraid of the cold.
But, Big Sister Lois, why are you here?” “You’re not afraid of the cold… Forget it, I don’t care.
Let’s just leave it at that for now.
As for why I’m here, it’s because I was curious~” Lois couldn’t resist reaching out to pat the Little Girl’s head that popped out of her embrace, then continued to explain: “There have been rumors going around that Alina brought back her own daughter from outside, and Big Sister wouldn’t tell us anything about you, so of course, I had to come see for myself.” “Big Sister…?” “That’s the one who came to bring you food earlier.
Since you’re so interested in Big Sister, let’s go see her again!” As soon as she finished speaking, before Griseo could even agree, Lois exerted force with both hands, hugging the Little Girl wrapped in her clothes, and rushed out.
“Eh…” Griseo was stunned by Lois’s sudden action, even forgetting to struggle.
Honestly, whether before or after transmigrating, this was her first time encountering a girl as enthusiastic as Lois.
She was enthusiastic, energetic, and full of vitality, with vibrant red colors surrounding her… making Griseo feel both warm and intense.
However, while the Little Girl was still in a daze, Lois had already reached her destination.
“Big Sister, and everyone, look at what treasure I’ve brought over!”
