The Little Girl Arrives / Mobius's Actions and Silence's Date
After lunch, Griseo did not go back to take a nap with Alyona as usual, but instead took Talulah and Alina to their tent.
"Little one, what's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?" After returning to the tent, Talulah, who had been holding back all the way, asked with a curious look.
Alina, standing to the side, also cast a curious glance at Griseo, awaiting her answer.
Upon hearing this, Griseo looked up at her two "guardians" with a serious expression and said:
"Well, there's something I wanted to tell you guys, Talulah. I'll be leaving the camp for half a day this afternoon..."
"!"×2
Both Talulah and Alina were slightly taken aback by the words coming from the little girl in front of them.
"Um... Can you tell us why, Griseo?"
A moment later, it was Little Deer who reacted first, bending down and asking softly.
"Um... can I tell you when we get back Alina?" Faced with Alina's gentle question, Griseo didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked in a low voice first.
"Is there any danger? If safety cannot be guaranteed, I will not allow you, little one, to act alone!" After hearing Griseo's words, Talulah an eyebrow slightly, immediately grasping the key point.
"Don't worry about my safety, because I have Sakura-neechan with me." Griseo said, gently shaking her little head. As she shook her head, the tuft of hair on her head swayed along with it.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Talulah and Alina exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Since Miss Sakura is protecting us, Talulah and I won't say anything. So, is Griseo coming back tonight, or at some other time?"
Alina reached out and gently touched Griseo's head, asking softly.
I'll be back tonight.
Griseo gently rubbed Alina's palm and answered softly.
"Then come back soon, and be careful, little one." Talulah, standing to the side, still couldn't help but add a word of advice.
"Um!"
After speaking with Talulah and Alina, Griseo leisurely walked away from their tent and headed towards the campfire.
As for why she went there... well, it's because the little girl guessed that there was definitely another "idiot" waiting for her there.
"Alyona really didn't go to rest..."
Upon arriving at the campfire, Griseo saw her familiar companion and spoke to her calmly.
"... Because I want to wait for Griseo to come with me."
Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed in Alyona's light green eyes before she answered earnestly.
"Hmm..."
With her friend saying this, Griseo was now in a difficult position.
The little girl hadn't figured out how to tell Alyona that she had to go out this afternoon and wouldn't be able to keep her company during her afternoon nap...
"What's wrong? What problem did you encounter?"
Seeing the conflicted look in Griseo's eyes, Alyona asked with some concern.
Actually, she had been worried ever since the little girl finished eating, told her to go back and rest, and then left alone with Talulah and Alina.
I even kept wondering if something had happened... though I never came to a conclusion about it.
"Hmm, we've encountered a problem." Griseo nodded slightly in response to her friend's question.
"What's the problem?"
Upon seeing Griseo's "admission," Alyona's little face turned serious.
"I can't nap with Alyona today..."
"Ah?"
Alyona, who had initially thought there was some serious problem, had her seriousness and surprise disappear after Griseo's explanation, replaced by a look of bewilderment and amusement.
After a moment, she began to give her instructions in a helpless tone.
"You must be careful when you go out and protect yourself."
"Yes, I will."
"When will Griseo leave?"
After receiving Griseo's assurance, Alyona seemed to suddenly remember something and asked again.
"I'll leave after I take Alyona back to bed."
"Good."
Then, the two little ones went back to their tent, one after the other.
After watching Alyona lie down, Griseo said goodbye and left the tent.
Without lingering at the encampment, she dashed outside, simultaneously contacting the others in her mind.
P. S.: It's been a long time since I've written about little girls, I'm a bit rusty. This chapter took me ages to write. And then there's some bad news: only one update today. I'll update earlier tomorrow (maybe). I've been quite busy these past few days.
Chapter 125 The Arrival of the Little Loli
On the deserted forest path of the Ursus Snowfield, Griseo was being held in the arms of her Mister Knight, contacting the others.
So, which lady has time to switch seats with me?
To prevent this procuring mission from becoming a one-way trip, Griseo must summon someone to act as an anchor point before leaving, making it easier for her to return.
'I can do it, Miss Griseo ~'
A moment after Griseo asked her question, Rita's cheerful voice rang out quickly, offering a gentle reply.
"Let me do it, Rita. You and Bianca have been quite busy lately. Compared to you two, Senti and I have it much easier."
Not long after Rita answered, Hua, who had been mostly silent, suddenly spoke up in a calm tone.
'?'
"Hey! You old fogey, who are you calling 'Senti'?"
With Hua's address, Senti, who had been "traveling and sightseeing" with her but hadn't really shown his face, also came forward.
'Hello, Sister Senti...'
'?'
'Don't call me that, call me the great Herrscher of Reason!'
'Okay, Sister Senti.'
'Griseo, you!'
"Alright, stop fooling around, Senti. I'll be there in a bit. You're free to do whatever you want this afternoon, but be careful not to cause trouble."
Looking at the childlike Senti in front of him, Hua's expression showed a hint of helplessness, and then he began to give instructions.
"Hmph, I wasn't making a fuss!" Senti raised an eyebrow after hearing Hua's words, and retorted somewhat unconvinced.
"But, old fogey, if you're going to leave, you should leave now! Traveling with you every day is so boring, how can anyone stay in one place for so long!"
At this point, Senti scratched his long hair, looking somewhat frustrated.
"Well..."
After hearing Senti's words, Hua shook his head helplessly and did not refute them.
Because it's true, compared to her slow-paced "old lady," Senti is a fast-paced child... their travel rhythms are completely incompatible.
"Go sightseeing by yourself this afternoon, but be careful not to cause trouble." After giving this final, worried reminder, Hua Cai continued to communicate with the others in his mind.
'I'll be the anchor point. Rita, go help Bianca or rest.'
"That's fine too, then I'll trouble you, Miss Hua."
After a brief discussion, Hua was chosen as the final candidate for this anchor point.
'Okay, then I'll summon Sister Hua right now.'
With a thought from Griseo, Hua, who was originally far away near Lungmen, appeared before her in a faint light.
"Long time no see, Sister Hua. I'll be troubling you with the rest now."
Seeing the person who suddenly appeared in front of her, Griseo greeted them earnestly.
"You go ahead, I'll take care of things here." Hearing this, Hua nodded slightly and gave Griseo a faint smile.
"Mmm."
Trimount, Columbia
After everything was ready on Griseo's side, Sakura used the same method that Mobius had used to summon her, and summoned her over discreetly.
After successfully bringing the person over, Sakura didn't linger and returned to Rhine Lab in a reasonable manner.
As for why she didn't act as a guide... the reason is simple: there's no need. After all, the memories are shared among several people, and no one necessarily knows more than the other.
"Hmm..."
Standing on the bustling street, Griseo felt a little lost for a moment...
Although she possessed Sakura's memories of this street and city, she was still somewhat at a loss as to where to begin. Moreover, she had quite a few gifts to buy for her friends...
However, just as Griseo was standing by the roadside in a daze, a familiar figure with beautiful colors caught her eye, making her eyes light up slightly.
However, even though she really liked that person's color, the little girl showed no intention of touching it; she even took a small step back.
The reason is...
The person possessing this beautiful color was a silver-haired Vouivre woman with two pairs of dragon horns and a tail, nicknamed the Rhine Fist Queen.
Normally, Griseo would have followed along, but today was special; she had a mission to complete... In order not to interfere with her Aunt Mobius's plans, she had to temporarily abandon the idea.
Thinking of this, a hint of regret couldn't help but appear in the little girl's beautiful Roland eyes.
At the same time, Griseo also experienced the wonderful feeling of a different perspective once again...
It's important to know that Mobius dislikes Saria intensely; in fact, he could be described as hating her.
However, viewing it from a little girl's perspective and way of thinking offers a completely new experience. For example, the pure colors surrounding Saria suggest she's a good person to approach, and one might even want to draw her...
"Hmm..."
After lost in thought for a while, until Saria's figure had disappeared from her sight, Griseo gently shook her head and came back to her senses.
After regaining her senses, the little girl stopped worrying and decided to go to the nearest candy store first.
Although many people still haven't decided on gifts, there are quite a few children in the camp, including Alyona, so buying more candy is definitely a good idea.
While Charmander already has one, Griseo wants her friends and the children of Reunion Movement to have one too.
As for the candy flavors, the little girl plans to choose the ones that Muelsyse recommended to Sakura before.
In the Structural Department laboratory--
Silence glanced up at the clock in the lab again, looking somewhat agitated.
And clearly, her appearance was also noticed by the others in the laboratory.
"What's wrong, Silence? This is the umpteenth time you've checked the time." Noticing his colleague's unusual behavior towards his friend, Albe walked over and whispered in Silence's ear.
"It's nothing... I just have an appointment at 2:00, and I'm still wondering whether I should go." Silence gave his colleague a complicated smile and explained.
P. S.: Anyone want to see the little girl and Saria's intimate moments? If not, I won't write this part; I'll go straight back after I finish my business.
