Bai Ge's Colors, Griseo Wants to Grow Up

The surgery was, of course, a complete success.

"Griseo, how are you feeling?"

"Hmm, the world has become so vibrant; it's like I can see the colors of everything."

"What? Does the Dragon Sparrow have this ability?"

Mobius paused for a moment, looking suspiciously at the Vermillion Bird Honkai Beast in the birdcage, thinking that he should dissect it and study it later.

Bai Ge thought to himself, "As expected, this ability will appear."

Like Aponia, after becoming Fusion Warrior, the Hyper-Evolution Factor not only granted Griseo the abilities of the Honkai Beast, but also enhanced her own talents.

After Aponia fused with the Emperor-Class Honkai Beast Midoro, her talent for persuading others transformed into [Divine Sound], which allows her to control the minds of others.

After Griseo fused with the Judgment-Class Honkai Beast Dragon Sparrow, her talent of seeing through a person's true nature transformed into seeing through the essence of all things in the form of colors, and she also gained the power to extract other people's colors to create paintings.

In Bai's opinion, this was undoubtedly a good thing, since he had more power. However, Griseo was still too young and it would take her a long time to learn how to control her power.

At that moment, Griseo looked around in surprise, feeling that the world had suddenly become more vibrant and beautiful.

(How strange, Grandma Mobius is indeed green, and Brother White must be white... wait?)

When Griseo's gaze fell upon Bai Ge, the girl's expression froze, and then... tears welled up in her eyes.

Second update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips!

Chapter 361, The Color of Bai Ge, Griseo Wants to Grow Up (Please Submit)

"Brother Bai... your color..."

Griseo's small body was trembling.

The girl saw the color of the Bai Ge; it was a pure white, clean and immaculate, just as she had imagined. Griseo fell completely in love with it at first sight, however...

This shade of white is already negligible.

In Griseo's view, countless terrible colors painted over this beautiful pure white, as if trying to cover it up.

Moreover, these colors are heavy and complex, chaotic and terrifying, and almost all of them are colors that Griseo hates.

These are the colors of tragedy!

"How could this happen, Brother Bai? No, we can't continue. Your color shouldn't be like this..."

"Gresh, Griseo."

Bai Ge was immediately at a loss.

This was outside his experience; Griseo hadn't reacted this way in past reincarnations because he was always able to hide it well, only showing the parts that hadn't been painted yet.

Bai Ge: "!!!"

He understood the reason in the next second.

The color of myself now can no longer be concealed by the methods of the past. The various memories accumulated over ten reincarnations have exceeded the limit, and I no longer have much of a white part left.

And then, at that moment, her true self was exposed to Griseo's eyes.

"... I'm sorry Griseo, did I show you an ugly color?"

"No, no! Brother Bai's color is so beautiful, it's never changed, but now it's almost gone. You can't do this to yourself, waaaaah..."

Griseo's tears flowed uncontrollably.

She witnessed the true state of the person before her; Bai Ge was bearing the tragedy of the entire Previous Civilization with his own life!

In addition to these, there is the ever-accumulating fatigue, countless invisible wounds, and the overwhelming pressure this person bears on this excessively long journey.

However, this burden is by no means meaningless.

Because Bai Ge received commensurate results for his efforts—namely, the ever-decreasing casualties of the Previous Civilization in each cycle—his hard work was indeed rewarded.

However, Bai Ge's journey is not yet over.

Because he has not yet obtained what he desires most!

That was the life of a young girl, and before he could snatch it back from the clutches of fate, the White Youth willingly imprisoned himself in a cage called the past (Previous Civilization).

If he were a painting now...

Griseo thought the painting was magnificent and splendid, but at the same time sad and beautiful. She never knew that the older brother she loved was so "scarred".

"Brother Bai, please stop, please, Griseo, I beg you, I don't want your color to be covered up," the girl pleaded tearfully.

"I'm sorry, Griseo, this is the last time."

"No, no! Brother Bai's white is almost all gone. It's my favorite color. You can't let yourself get any more stained with it."

Griseo shook her head vigorously. She didn't know what Bai Ge meant by "the last time." She only knew that even at this moment, Bai Ge's color was gradually diminishing.

The girl, who was usually ethereal and detached, was now so emotionally agitated that she couldn't control herself, because she saw Bai Ge using her colors as a canvas to paint all the tragedies of the world.

"Tell me, Griseo, what exactly happened? What's wrong with Bai Ge?" Mobius asked anxiously.

"Waaaaah, Grandma Mobius, Brother White is sacrificing his color."

"I don't understand, what does this mean? Explain it clearly, Bai Ge, what... did you do to yourself again?" Mobius asked, staring directly at Bai.

"..."

Bai Ge remained silent for a moment. He couldn't very well reveal the matter of reincarnation; this was never a consideration for him. He was a stubborn, headstrong, and arrogant person.

Thinking that after I've dealt with everything and written a perfect ending to the story, I'll reincarnate, pretend that what I've carried doesn't exist, and never tell anyone.

However, some of these hidden things were revealed by a girl.

"I'm sorry, Griseo, please wait a little longer. I'll turn back to my original color, you can see that, right? I just let the other colors stick on it. My own color hasn't disappeared. Once it's all over, I'll remove them all."

Bai Ge crouched down and spoke to Griseo, embracing the girl as gently as possible.

"Really? Brother Bai, can your color really return to normal?" the girl asked, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Yes, of course. What, Griseo, don't you trust me anymore?"

"No, no! Griseo believes you!"

Griseo shook her head vigorously.

Her only thought was that if Bai Ge's color couldn't be restored, she would repaint it herself!

No matter what, I must help this person preserve his color and never let tragedy taint him.

"Thank you, Griseo, I love you the most."

Bai Ge gently patted the girl's head and said.

"But I'm sorry, Brother Bai made you cry. Ugh~ I actually made such a cute girl like Griseo cry. I really want the police to come and arrest me and put me in jail."

"No, Brother Bai has done so many good deeds, I won't let anyone hurt you! By the way, Grandma Mobius, do you have any medicine that can make people grow up faster?"

Griseo seemed to have thought of something, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and asked Mobius beside her.

"What? A medicine to make you grow up faster?"

"Yes! It's always been Brother Bai who protects everyone, but no one has been able to protect him, so Griseo needs to grow up quickly so she can protect Brother Bai!"

Griseo said firmly, gripping her paintbrush as if it were a lightsaber, standing like a little swordsman in front of the White Youth.

Bai Ge felt his heart melting. Touched, he nuzzled Griseo's cheek. He was always the one protecting others, but now a lovely girl said she wanted to protect him.

In an instant, his admiration for Griseo skyrocketed, multiplying several times over.

"Snakey doesn't have that kind of medicine. If she did, she would have used it on herself long ago. But I will wait for little Griseo. I really look forward to the time when you will protect me in the future. But... for now, I will protect little Griseo."

"No, Brother Bai needs to rest! You're already very tired, go and get some sleep!"

Griseo said with utmost seriousness.

Now she is the second person after Elysia to see through Bai Ge's disguise. The girl's talent for seeing through other people's true nature, amplified by the Honkai Beast genes, allowed her to see the deep weariness hidden behind the White Youth's smile.

Griseo didn't know how to describe it, but... it was hundreds or thousands of times more exhausting for the soul than Klein, who had just passed by and worked overtime for more than a month!

"Take a nap now, um, but..."

"If Brother Bai doesn't go to rest, I... I'll ignore you for a day... half a day. By the way, do you need a lap pillow to sleep comfortably, Brother Bai? Griseo, here's a lap pillow for you..."

"Ah, this..."

"Brother Bai used to always give me a lap pillow for my afternoon nap, so let me do it for you once in a while. Wait a minute, I'll go find a blanket. Brother Bai, hurry up and come over."

After saying that, Griseo ran outside. Her studio was nearby, and whenever she got tired of painting, the girl would wrap herself in a blanket and take a nap with her head on Bai Ge's lap.

However, once she left, there were only two people left in the space.

"..."

"..."

Bai Ge turned her head away from looking into Mobius's eyes, while the latter had a gloomy face and looked like he was about to explode.

"Shouldn't you explain to me what Griseo just said? Bai Ge!"

"Ahem, Snakey, you know me. I don't want to lie to you, so... please don't ask, okay? I'll handle everything, really."

"I don't believe you! Tell me everything you've been hiding! Bai Ge, you idiot who always does things on your own! If it weren't for Griseo, I wouldn't have known..."

Mobius clutched Bai Ge's clothes, looking distressed.
