Griseo: It's Yellow and Warm

"Then I woke up Griseo on the other side, rushed into the Sea of Quantum, dragged So out and beat her half to death, asking her if she wanted to live or die."

Gwen then revealed Plan Two, which was almost a repetition of Plan One.

"Isn't it the same as before...?"

Elysia said resentfully.

"There are still differences."

Gwen laughed.

"Although it's small and has many limitations, the current Floros is already very close to 'Elysia'..."

Aren't you going to go take a look?

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Elysia was somewhat surprised—

Gwen spoke of Elysia, he was not referring to her, but rather to the paradise that her name represented.

"But if I go straight in, won't that alert Saha?"

Elysia hesitated.

"Therefore, a little disguise is needed—"

Gwen laughed.

"I will seal and transform the Honkai Energy within you, and then equip you with new power."

Then, you'll be Pink Fairy Lady from outside the Solar System—

Or could we add an amnesia trope?

"No, I hate amnesia the most."

Elysia shook her head vigorously, a hint of interest on her face, but ultimately she shook her head again and said—

"Forget it, I'll get to know those little Vitas and the city under their management after everything settles down."

As for now, let me take care of your health—

When you go to Little Griseo, can't you only go in your consciousness while your body stays in place?

This place isn't as safe as Earth, so I'll take care of your health~~

"As expected of our world's cutest Elysia..."

"Well then, I'll leave my body in your care from now on..."

Gwen smiled, not moving any closer to Floros, but instead activating optical invisibility to conceal his presence and hide in the shadows.

"You can leave it to me without worry~~"

Elysia affirmed.

"Please don't do anything weird with my body..."

Gwen, who had already contacted Griseo, made a sarcastic remark, but before Elysia could retort, her consciousness had already drifted to another world—

In the messy studio, paint buckets were scattered everywhere, and in the huge painting, there was a scene of the setting sun.

But in this sunset, the sun was a little too dazzling.

"Welcome, Gwen."

The imposing Mr. Knight greeted Gwen in a gentle voice; it was he who had just clicked the "accept" button.

Because Little Griseo's Remembrance are constantly being reset, he is in charge of keeping the Invitation Letter here.

"Hello, Mr. Knight."

Gwen nodded, then asked with some confusion—

"Has Little Griseo been corrupted by that Cang Xuan guy again?"

Why is the sunset painted so brightly?

"This..."

The Mr. Knight was somewhat speechless, and began to wonder if Cang Xuan had corrupted Little Griseo.

Just then, Little Griseo, barefoot, emerged from the storage room carrying a small bucket of new paint and retorted upon hearing Gwen's words—

"No, that's just how the sun is."

"But Little Griseo wants to paint the sunset, not the midday sun, doesn't she?"

Gwen crouched down, rubbed the girl's head, and chuckled.

"Cocoa...

Griseo had never seen a sunset...

Little Griseo made two sounds and said something that made Gwen and the Mr. Knight beside her exchange bewildered glances.

"Griseo, don't we watch the sunset every day now?"

"No... it's different..."

Little Griseo shook her head vigorously and said firmly.

"In Gwen, Griseo saw the color of the sun, which was dazzling and warm, but the sunset did not have a similar feeling."

"This..."

The Mr. Knight was momentarily speechless, then looked at Gwen—

What exactly did you do?

How could you do that to such a small child?

Chapter 743 Griseo: Yellowish, very warm

However, Gwen immediately thought of Little Griseo's abilities and her tendency to be easily influenced by those around her due to her naivety at that time.

In the past, whether it was Griseo in the Elysian Realm or Little Griseo here, Gwen would always restrain his emotions and spirit when they met, preventing Little Griseo from shouting "I want them all".

However, it now seems that Gwen's control was somewhat flawed during the period immediately following the awakening of the Light of the Mind...

Or perhaps there was some Gwen was unaware of.

Without glancing at the Mr. Knight was intently watching him, Gwen met Little Griseo's purple eyes and slowly asked—

"Griseo, are you saying that you see the color of the sun in me, is that right?"

"Um!"

Little Griseo nodded vigorously, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking quite pleased with herself.

"It's yellow and warm..."

"But it's just this feeling..."

"No!"

Griseo shook her head vigorously—

"That's the sun!"

"If that's the sun, then why don't the sunsets you see give you that feeling?"

Looking at Little Griseo's serious expression, Gwen smiled and patted her head, asking a question.

"Because... because..."

Little Griseo's voice grew softer and softer, and beside her, the Mr. Knight's figure seemed to have undergone some kind of change—

"That's not the real sun..."

Little Griseo's voice suddenly became much louder, but it lost some of the innocent Little Griseo that belonged to her, and gained more calmness.

"Yeah?

Mr. Knight ...

Little Griseo didn't look at Gwen again, but instead looked at the Mr. Knight standing to the side.

"Um?"

The heavy knight's armor seemed to emanate a puzzled voice, as if it didn't understand why Griseo was asking it instead of Gwen.

"Oh..."

A bright smile appeared on her little face. Little Griseo stood up straight and looked up at the tall Mr. Knight.

"Let's start from the beginning and review it—"

Mr. Knight, do you remember how we got to this day?

"I remember that after the Ark returned, we lived with Kevin and Sue for a month."

Following that, we embarked on a year-long trip—

While passing through Divine Land, he encountered Danzhu and Cang Xuan, and accepted their invitation to come to Taixu Mountain, where he stayed for a while.

Something must have happened during this time to trap us in this inescapable situation of "today."

Perhaps the naive Little Griseo hadn't realized it yet, but the Mr. Knight, as an observer, had already seen through it all. He, and they, were all trapped in this inescapable "today," forever unable to reach that tomorrow that seemed so close yet so far away.

Even with Gwen's unexpected intervention, it would still be the same.

"But that's not the truth."

Little Griseo shook her head and said calmly.

"Although there are still many unclear details, I have come to understand what has made today what it is."

"Um?"

"In reality, Griseo had a clear direction for her future before leaving Mount Taixu, and she truly lived up to her words not long after..."

In a calm exchange of questions and answers, Little Griseo recounts this inescapable "today" and her origins.

In that attack, Griseo lost her beloved jade pendant, lost control of the Ark, and even her color was taken away, leaving her with only herself and the palest color.

As Griseo was about to lose consciousness, the pure white, which was usually the palest and most inconspicuous color, took on a spiritual form for the first time.

"But I can't be happy, because I represent her loneliness and helplessness;"

The more complete I am, the less I can represent Griseo.

To protect her, I used all the colors I received from her to shield myself from the darkness; then, I added other colors she sometimes accidentally got on me, to create her favorite day—

That is, today.

But due to some accident, the colors were distorted, and a gray curtain shrouded this dream, creating this eternal "day," trapping her and her all here to die.

The Mr. Knight was somewhat taken aback by the facts told by Little Griseo, but his usually calm voice betrayed a hint of hesitation and self-doubt.

Then, Little Griseo directly pointed out his doubts—

"You've simply used colors similar to the marks to create a knight's protective shell for yourself."

Or perhaps, things have turned out this way simply because we are in this situation and cannot come together as one.

As the truth was revealed by Little Griseo, the vibrant colors that adorned the Mr. Knight finally began to show imperceptible cracks.

"Faced with absolute power, at what appears to be the final moment..."

Despite the long journey, I only subconsciously called out to my father and mother, trying to hide behind them...

This heavy armor...

It may have lessened my fear, but it also diluted my self-awareness and Remembrance.

And so, on this very day, Griseo, now a knight, met Marvin, pure white.

Having acknowledged his existence, Little Griseo ... or rather Marvin cheerfully chatted with Griseo, who was inside the knight's armor, offering each other comfort, while the Mr. Knight also recounted his past attempts—

Leading Kevin and Danzhu out of that cycle, or directly revealing the truth, would either lead to a complete restart due to the interference of that unknown force.

After several attempts, Marvin's character, Little Griseo, would faint for no reason, making Griseo realize that she could not so forcefully destroy this ever-repeating "today" and could only try to guide it in a gentle way, but in each "today", she would forget herself.

"So, this is also the reason why you haven't made any major changes since I arrived."
