In the end, Muelsyse didn’t dwell on Griseo’s invitation for long.
After all, whether she ate or not wasn’t important.
She was going there anyway, and she wanted to see just what kind of person the little girl’s guardian was.
Griseo didn’t mind Muelsyse’s ambiguous answer.
Instead, she happily brought her back to the Odd Jobs Shop.
Today, the other party had already helped her a great deal.
Just by spending an afternoon together, she had completed one commission and one daily task, successfully increasing her Supply Cards by two.
Moreover, the little loli believed that Muelsyse would like her shop.
As for the reason, it was simple: it was clean enough…
Although the Anchor Point existed independently from Elysian Realm Space and was situated in Terra, it was still managed by the System overall, guaranteeing cleanliness and freedom from pollution.
Other races might not notice much, but an elf like Muelsyse, who was highly sensitive to Originium, would definitely be able to sense and appreciate such an environment.
“Oh…
so this shop belongs to your family, Griseo.” Standing at the entrance of the Odd Jobs Shop and looking at the adorable signboard, Muelsyse couldn’t help but say in surprise.
In fact, she had passed by here yesterday and noticed the little shop.
However, she had been busy at the time and hadn’t stopped, only silently admiring its cute renovation style.
“Mhm.” Griseo gently nodded her little head, then stepped forward and pushed open the door, signaling for Muelsyse to come inside.
Muelsyse had no objections.
After giving a slight nod, she followed behind the little loli into the shop.
At a glance, the interior decoration didn’t surprise the water elf lady.
It completely continued the adorable style of the signboard…
However, the fact that the shop was completely empty made her somewhat concerned.
After observing the interior a little more and confirming that there was no movement besides herself and Griseo, Muelsyse couldn’t help asking, “Griseo, where’s your family?” “Hm?!” The moment she finished asking, the water elf lady suddenly realized something she had overlooked.
Why was this place so clean too?!
Noticing this, she quickly stepped back a few paces, increasing the distance between herself and Griseo as she carefully sensed the indoor environment again.
Because she had spent the entire afternoon beside Griseo, enjoying the excellent environment around her, Muelsyse hadn’t immediately reacted upon entering a similarly clean shop.
“!” Yet the moment she carefully sensed it, she was shocked.
This adorably decorated little shop was truly just as terrifyingly clean as the area around Griseo…
As the head of Rhine Lab’s Ecological Section, Muelsyse had seen all kinds of clean laboratories.
But this?
This was something she had never seen before!
So had she guessed wrong?
Wasn’t it Little Griseo’s ability after all, but rather some unheard-of device?
Thinking this, the water elf lady couldn’t help directing her gaze toward the little girl and carefully observing her again.
Hm…
A thin dress, slender exposed legs, little feet…
She didn’t look like someone carrying any kind of device.
Of course, it was still possible that the equipment was extremely small.
But if that were the case…
Then Muelsyse would have to start being amazed at the technological level of the people behind Griseo.
Noticing Muelsyse’s gaze, Griseo tilted her head slightly before saying, “Everyone is pretty busy…
they’re not here right now.” “But Mumu, don’t worry…
Knight and Fairy Ely are still here.” As soon as the little loli finished speaking, Fairy Ely and the Blue Knight cooperatively revealed themselves.
The former smiled and greeted Muelsyse, while the latter elegantly performed a bow.
[My, welcome to our Odd Jobs Shop, lovely elf lady.] [I’m Fairy Ely from the Fairy Kingdom.
If there’s anything you need help with or any wish you have, you can tell me~] “…” Faced with this fantastical development, Muelsyse’s brain froze for a moment.
No, wait.
Who was she?
Where was she?
Why had she come here?
“…” Seeing the clearly bewildered Muelsyse, a trace of helplessness flashed through Griseo’s violet eyes.
She stepped forward and gently guided the other woman to a seat at the table.
At that moment, Muelsyse finally reacted.
Looking at Fairy Ely floating nearby, she let out a startled cry.
“Eh?!” “…” Griseo had been prepared for this.
While she and her System worked together to calm Muelsyse down, she also asked Knight to bring out the prepared dinner.
After the meal, thanks to the efforts of the little loli and Fairy Ely…
Well, mostly Fairy Ely’s efforts…
Muelsyse finally understood the situation, as well as some of Griseo’s special circumstances.
At first, a certain water elf had remained cautious and restrained.
But as time passed and she learned more, she gradually relaxed and returned to her usual self.
“So, what color am I in your eyes, Griseo?
I remember you said it was very beautiful!” At this moment, Muelsyse stared at Griseo with sparkling eyes, eagerly awaiting her answer.
“…꒪꒫꒪) The color of clear lake water.” Once Muelsyse let loose, the uncomfortable one became Griseo instead.
Nevertheless, she answered seriously.
“Oh!
Oh!
The kind of lake water that sparkles with reflected light, right?
As expected of me!” Hearing Griseo’s answer, Muelsyse sounded like a child who had just received her favorite toy as she excitedly continued: “And Saria…
the big sister we saw sitting in the vehicle before.
What color is she?” “Mm…” “…” And just like that, under the curiosity of the fully unleashed Muelsyse, the two of them and the System chatted for a long time, only stopping when it had become completely dark outside.
“Happy times really do pass quickly.” Glancing at the dark sky outside, Muelsyse remembered the cruel fact that she had work tomorrow and couldn’t help lamenting: “Wuu…
my vacation is already over.
I have to go to work tomorrow.” Listening to Muelsyse’s working-adult complaints, Griseo didn’t know how to comfort her.
She could only stretch out her little hand and gently pat her back.
“Mumu, whenever you feel tired…
or bored…
you can come find me.
Mm…
I’ll have Knight bake little cakes for you.” “Wow, that’s truly touching.” Hearing that, Muelsyse raised a hand and wiped at tears that didn’t exist at the corner of her eye, then gave Griseo a big hug.
