Candy and Farewells / Greyy: ???)???

After this second round of shopping, the two who had entered the candy store empty-handed came out with their hands full of shopping bags.

"This... this seems like a bit too much. The two of us alone can't possibly carry it all," Muelsyse said, frowning slightly as he stood by the street.

Actually, if it were just what I had on hand, it wouldn't be so bad, but the problem is... these candies are only a small part; there's a whole bunch of other stuff stored elsewhere.

"It's alright, we can have someone else get those things later. Right now, I have something to give to you, Sister Muelsyse..."

P. S.: To be honest, after taking the medicine for a few days, I thought the hives were gone because I couldn't see them on my body anymore. Until... I took off my watch, and the hives were all around my wrist... It was unbearable!

Chapter 136 Candy and Parting

"I have something to give to you, Sister Muelsyse..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Griseo reached into the bag she was carrying and quickly pulled out a box of assorted candies, which she then handed to Muelsyse.

"Thank you for spending so much time with me this afternoon."

"Eh..."

Seeing the candy handed to her, Muelsyse was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth in surprise and said, "I didn't expect little Griseo to be so sensible at such a young age. It was worth spending this afternoon with you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the elf girl took the candy offered to her and then casually pinched the little girl's smooth and delicate cheek.

"Hmm..."

Griseo was already used to Muelsyse's habit of pinching her cheeks, so she didn't resist and obediently let her pinch them.

After a while, after Muelsyse released her face, Griseo gently raised her head and looked at the person in front of her with her beautiful, sparkling eyes, then said with a serious expression:

"Oh, right, there's something I'd like to ask Sister Muelsyse for a favor..."

"Hmm, what's the matter? Tell me about it!"

Upon hearing this, Muelsyse chuckled and gave a soft hum.

"Hmm, so that's... the candy I just gave to my sister. Can you open it tomorrow morning?" Griseo gently stroked her chin, organizing her thoughts before speaking.

"It is possible, but shouldn't little Griseo tell me the reason?" Muelsyse asked with a look of curiosity after hearing Griseo's small request.

"Since candy counts as a gift, and I plan to give the other gifts to my friends tomorrow morning, I hope Sister Muelsyse can open them tomorrow too..."

Griseo, who was offering a lame excuse with a cute expression and innocent eyes, couldn't help but feel a little guilty...

That's right, the box of candy the little girl just gave out was one she had switched and was defective. Of course, the defect didn't refer to the candy itself. After all... it wasn't like she was trying to poison anyone.

The box of candy had been tampered with by Mobius; some [message] had been inserted into the unopened box.

That's why, in order not to disrupt the plan, Griseo wanted to control the time when the candy was opened, or rather, the time when the news was discovered.

To be honest, this kind of task is really not good at for little girls; it's too easy for them to mess things up. If it weren't for her Aunt Mobius... she wouldn't have made it so complicated.

She doesn't plan to take on this kind of work again next time... even though she originally just came to buy some supplies and helped out a bit.

"Oh, so that's the reason. I didn't expect you, little Griseo, to have such obsessive-compulsive tendencies and a sense of ritual~" Muelsyse chuckled and teased after hearing the little girl's explanation.

"However, since you've asked me, I can grant you this little wish!"

After saying that, Muelsyse couldn't help but reach out and rub the little girl's fluffy head.

Clearly, the fairy had absolutely no doubt about the words of the innocent and adorable child before her.

After all, how many people would doubt or be suspicious of the innocent and adorable words of a child...?

"Um, thank you, Sister Muelsyse... Here you go."

Upon hearing this, Griseo looked at Muelsyse, who showed absolutely no doubt, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he reached into the bag of candy he was carrying, grabbed a handful of candies whose boxes had already been opened, and handed them to the person in front of him.

"Hehe~ Then I won't be polite, thank you little Griseo!"

Seeing Griseo's little hand outstretched to her again, Muelsyse smiled happily and accepted all the candies on it.

After unwrapping a candy and putting it in her mouth, Muelsyse began to ask about serious matters.

"Alright, it's gotten so late, it's time to take you home. Where does little Griseo live?"

"No need to trouble Sister Muelsyse, my family has already sent someone to pick me up, we can just wait here." Faced with Muelsyse's question, Griseo gently shook her head and declined softly.

Earlier that afternoon, when he was explaining the plan to guide Muelsyse to the little girl, Mobius had told her that he would hire someone to pick her up that evening, and that she should just wait where she was.

After all, where does Griseo have a home in Trimount?

Actually, Muelsyse could have sent the person back to the property purchased by Sakura and Mobius, but that would easily leave clues... and it wouldn't be good if their identity were accidentally exposed.

The candy box will be opened sooner or later. What happened at the time might have confused you, but once you come to terms with it, things might be different...

Therefore, in order to reduce risks and trouble, Mobius and Sakura adopted such a method to separate their little girl from Muelsyse.

In this way, even if Muelsyse and the others realized what was happening and wanted to investigate Griseo, they would find absolutely no clues.

"Hey, your family has already contacted you?"

Upon hearing this, Muelsyse's expression turned slightly surprised.

"I contacted them first, just when you were in the restroom, Sister Muelsyse. They asked me to wait at the candy store." As she spoke, Griseo pointed lightly to the candy store where the two of them had just left.

"Oh, so that's why you suddenly wanted to come to the candy store." After hearing the little girl's words, Muelsyse looked at the candy store not far away, a look of realization appearing on her face.

"Then I'll wait here with you, sister."

"Um."

Then, after a short while, a strange woman approached them, smiled at Griseo, and said, "Miss, I've come to pick you up."

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Griseo blinked gently, not rushing to respond to the woman's words, but instead turning to look at Muelsyse and saying:

"Sister Muelsyse, my people have arrived..."

"Wow, it's finally time! Little Griseo must miss her big sister!" With that, Muelsyse reached out and ruffled the little girl's hair again.

Although she had made it sound so easy, the elf still felt a pang of reluctance when it came time to part ways.

Yes, I will.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Griseo wrote down Muelsyse's phone number before the two finally parted ways, ending their afternoon of fun.

P. S.: There will be another chapter later.

Chapter 137 Griseo:???)???

After parting ways with Muelsyse, Griseo followed the strange woman hired by Mobius and the others to a rather secluded place.

Looking around, the little girl found a suitable spot and suddenly changed her pace, rushing into a dark path not far away amidst the woman's surprised gaze and shouts.

Then, it vanished completely from the city without a trace...

When the woman caught up, all she saw was a dark, deserted dead end...

This sudden, unexpected transformation gave the woman goosebumps, and she almost screamed out loud.

She stood there stunned for a moment before shakily pulling out her phone and quickly dialing her employer's number.

"Hello..."

The call connected, and a deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing the voice from the other end, the woman quickly recounted what had just happened.

However, before she could even utter the words of shirking responsibility, a deep male voice on the other end interrupted her.

"You don't need to worry about this anymore. Take the money and leave. But remember... what you should and shouldn't say, I think you know that."

"Beep beep--"

As the threatening male voice faded, the call was abruptly ended. The woman tried calling back, but the number was disconnected...

This sudden and bizarre turn of events left the woman completely bewildered and feeling like it was all unreal... If it weren't for the fact that there was indeed an extra sum of money in her account, she would have thought she was still dreaming.

Rhine Lab, Structural Department

Sitting at his desk, Mobius, who had just watched a play, was mentally communicating with Sakura about the plan.

'This method is so outdated...'

'However, Doctor, you have to admit it was indeed effective, and it didn't leave any clues for anyone to trace back to us.'

Sakura responded helplessly to Mobius's sarcastic remark.

'Ha, isn't this just a rant?'

'Alright, we've seen enough of the show. Tonight is the last night. I'll have to trouble Sakura now.'

'Yes, I'll be more careful.'

Sakura naturally understood what Mobius meant and earnestly agreed.

Although Griseo tried her best to control when Muelsyse discovered the clues in the candy box, who can say for sure what would happen?

Therefore, just in case anything unexpected happens, Sakura will be extra vigilant at Ifrit's place tonight to ensure the plan goes smoothly.

'You've worked hard~'

After ending his mental conversation with Sakura, Mobius didn't continue working in the lab. Instead, he tidied up a bit and left the office to rest.

The reason, of course, is that there's a big show to see tomorrow, and I won't have the energy if I don't get a good rest...

In a grove of trees on the Ursus Snowfield--

Sitting on a tree branch, gazing up at the starry sky over the Ursus Snowfield, Hua slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at the little girl who had suddenly appeared beside her, smiling gently as she said:

"Welcome back, Griseo. How was your day? Did you have fun?"

"Yes, I'm back. I had a lot of fun today, thank you, Sister Hua." After hearing Hua's words, Griseo's eyes flashed with a smile, and she replied softly.

"I hope you have fun. Senti and I are almost at Lungmen. You can come over to play later if you're interested." Hearing this, Hua gently patted Griseo's head and said with a smile.

"Um."

Knowing that it was getting late, Hua chatted briefly with Griseo before starting to communicate with Senti in her mind.

'It's almost time, summon me back, Senti.'

'? I don't!'

After receiving the message from her old-fashioned family member, Senti was currently having a great time, decisively refused.

"Stop fooling around, Senti. I'm not suited to stay with the Reunion Movement... Besides, it's getting late, it's time to send Griseo back." Hua's tone was rather helpless as she faced her willful child.

"Well, you old fogey, beg me! Beg me and I'll bring you over."

"..."

After some pulling and commotion, Hua was finally pulled back by Senti.

After leaving China, Griseo did not linger in the forest. Instead, she summoned her Mister Knight and headed towards the Reunion Movement camp.

Reunion Movement Base--

After entering the encampment area, Griseo sent the Mister Knight back, intending to sneak over and surprise Talulah and the others.

However, as the little girl stealthily sneaked in, she soon returned to her usual area and saw the familiar figures sitting around the campfire in the distance.

"???)?"

But soon, Griseo noticed something was wrong... it was too quiet.
