In the Ark, Starting as Griseo

"Let's go..."

The two exchanged a glance, then whispered to Griseo before lifting their feet to leave.

"No need, leave the enemies to Uncle Tyrant," Griseo said, shaking her head gently.

As her words fell, the crimson warrior reappeared silently.

"?!"

Seeing another half-body, unfamiliar creature suddenly appear, the two Yetis were slightly stunned, their footsteps faltering.

ps: Ah, this is really difficult to write. Speaking of which, do you want me to keep writing this, or should I write the next volume? I can already write about Snake.

Chapter 32: Griseo's Worries

"!? "

Then, under the astonished gaze of the two Yetis, Tyrant charged forward with an unstoppable momentum.

"Good heavens, what was that just now, little Griseo!"

"Yeah, yeah, and this... wolf holding you?"

"This is Mr. Wolf, and the one who just charged out is Uncle Tyrant. They are both very strong, so don't worry." Looking at the two Yetis in front of her, Griseo earnestly introduced her two companions.

After introducing her companions, the little loli turned her gaze to Alyona beside her and continued, "This is Alyona, whom I just rescued."

"You rescued her? So this child is from the mine?" Ivan's eyes showed a hint of interest as he looked at Alyona.

Regarding Alyona, he and Griseo had similar ideas: to extract as much information from the little girl as possible.

After all, the Yeti Squad's mission here was to investigate the mine's deployment. If they had someone from inside the mine, they could learn many details that couldn't be discovered from the outside.

"Shouldn't we hurry and leave? Time is almost up, and besides, a guard has spotted us."

Alexei, noticing that he, along with the others, were still standing around chatting, scratched his head and reminded them in a low voice.

"No need... Uncle Tyrant will eliminate all enemies. Besides, the agreement has been made." Griseo gently shook her head, her big eyes sparkling with seriousness, as she looked at the Yeti urging them to leave.

"Huh? An agreement? What agreement?"

"Wait... why is it quiet over there? Did he really eliminate them all?" Unlike Ivan, who was curious about the agreement, Alexei's attention was drawn to Tyrant's side.

Although Griseo had said earlier that Mr. Wolf and Uncle Tyrant were very strong, it wasn't until they saw the results that the two Yetis truly understood that "strong" meant genuinely strong, not just a concept in a child's words.

"Yes, Uncle Tyrant is very reliable. The agreement... I promised to avenge Alyona, and in exchange, I'm taking her color and information." Griseo explained earnestly to the two astonished people in front of her.

As soon as Mr. Wolf heard Griseo praising someone, a flicker of light flashed in his eyes, revealing a hint of displeasure.

"Wait! Little Griseo, what did you just say? You're going to avenge her? Although your Uncle Tyrant is strong, there are quite a few guards in this mine!"

"Yeah, it's too dangerous. Let's just go meet up with Big Sister with us."

After hearing the words of the two Yetis, Griseo tilted her little head and pointed in the direction of the mine, saying, "But Uncle Tyrant has already gone."

"!"

"What the heck?"

The two looked in the direction Griseo pointed. Apart from darkness, they could indeed no longer see any trace of Tyrant.

"He really went?"

With shocked hearts, Ivan nimbly climbed the nearest tree and looked towards the mine.

What greeted him was a half-body warrior in crimson armor slaughtering his way through the mine, dispatching enemies with a single sword strike.

"How is it, Ivan?"

Seeing his friend's expression on the tree, Alexei curiously asked him.

"..."

Ivan didn't rush to answer his question. After watching the chaotic situation in the mine for a while longer, he jumped down from the tree.

"It's terrifying. Just as little Griseo said, Tyrant has almost wiped out all the mine guards. What do we do next? Should we call Big Sister and the others over?"

After getting down, Ivan calmed himself slightly before looking at his teammate.

"Ah, that exaggerated? If they're almost all wiped out, what's the point of collecting intelligence!" Alexei said irritably upon hearing this.

"Just call Big Sister and the others over, and then rescue all the infected people here."

Although Alexei hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it didn't stop him from believing what his brother had said.

"Okay, I'll send the signal."

"……"

Griseo and Alyona, standing to the side, simply watched the two clowns in front of them in silence.

Alyona didn't speak because she genuinely didn't know what to say and didn't want to.

Griseo remained silent because she felt it was unnecessary; watching quietly was the best approach at a time like this.

There were many things she could say that would be useless because others wouldn't believe her... so it was better to let them see for themselves.

"Is that a signal? That direction… is that Ivan and the others?"

"Yes, it looks like they've run into trouble. Let's go help them."

"Mhm."

"It's a signal, and it's very close," Lois said, frowning slightly as she noticed the signal. She then looked to Yelena beside her, awaiting her command.

"Leos, how's your injury? Does it affect your movement?"

Upon hearing this, Yelena didn't rush to give orders. Instead, she looked at Leos, who was being supported by Lois, and asked softly.

"I'm fine, Big Sister. It won't affect my actions."

"Then let's go. Be careful."

After receiving a positive reply, Yelena nodded gently, changed direction, and headed towards the signal's location.

"I think Big Sister and the others are almost here. What do you think their reaction will be when they see our cute Griseo?"

Leaning against a tree, Ivan, who was waiting for support, suddenly remembered something and said with a smile.

"I think Big Sister will be very angry…"

As he spoke, Alexei glanced coldly at the little loli yawning in Mr. Wolf's arms beside him.

"!"

Hearing Alexei's words, Griseo's ahoge twitched. The sleepiness that had just surfaced vanished instantly, and a faint sense of nervousness welled up in her heart.

Although she had been mentally prepared to be scolded before, she still felt a bit nervous when the scolding was imminent.

And if she really got scolded, this would definitely be the first time in her life as Stellar that she would be scolded.

After all, in Fire Moth, everyone doted on Griseo. They rarely even lectured her, let alone scolded her… The most she ever got was Aponia's gentle reminders.

"Mmm…"

"Little Griseo, don't worry too much. You're so cute, and Big Sister likes you a lot. She might not even have the heart to say anything."

Sensing the little loli's distress, Ivan leaned in with a mischievous grin and whispered some terrible advice.

"Even if Big Sister gets angry and ignores you, I suggest you sneak into her tent at night to hang out."

ps: Since you all seem to like seeing more of the little loli, I'll continue writing about her. I was worried you'd get tired of it otherwise.

Also, I didn't have time to finish the manuscript today, so my debt has increased by one. I currently owe you two chapters, and I'll make them up when I have time. As for my current situation, I haven't started work yet but am studying for exams and certifications… I'm currently squeezing in time like crazy.

But don't worry, I'll be done with my exams by mid-May, and then I'll have plenty of time to update. That's all for now, goodnight everyone.

Chapter 33: Yelena's Arrival

"Even if Big Sister gets angry and ignores you, I suggest you sneak into her tent at night to hang out."

Listening to Ivan's words, Griseo blinked slightly and then asked softly with curiosity, "Really? If I do that, will Yelena Sister still be mad at Griseo?"

"You rascal, don't corrupt the kid," Alexei said, slapping Ivan on the head before Ivan could answer Griseo's question.

"No way! I'm not corrupting anyone. I'm just telling the truth. Little Griseo is so cute, even Big Sister won't be able to resist softening up," Ivan retorted softly, rubbing his head where he'd been hit.

"She is indeed cute, but what you're saying is just sophistry!" Alexei glanced at the adorable Griseo before continuing to argue.

"…"

Watching the two bicker, Alyona, nestled in Mr. Wolf's arms, her light green eyes flickered slightly as she seemed to think of something.

"How about it? Aren't the Yetis amazing? Their colors are really beautiful too…"

Noticing Alyona's gaze, Griseo leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Mhm, they're amazing…" Alyona replied instinctively upon hearing Griseo's voice.

However, when she felt the warm breath near her ear, she calmly added in her hoarse voice, "You… don't get too close to me."

"Okay…"

Hearing Alyona's calm words, Griseo nodded gently and moved back slightly.

"???)?"

But noticing that the girl's little ears had turned red at some point, a question mark slowly appeared on her small head.

After a moment of confusion, Griseo suddenly understood, clapped her hands lightly, and then whispered, "Are you still cold? Your ears look like they're frozen red. I'll have Mr. Wolf get a hat and earmuffs."

?

Mr. Wolf, who was holding both of them, was very cooperative. He adjusted his posture and held both little cuties with one arm.

Then, with his free hand, he took out a fluffy, cute hat and earmuffs and handed them to the two of them.

"Thank you, Mr. Wolf."

After thanking him, Griseo picked up the cute hat and was about to put it on Alyona herself.

Only then did Alyona finally react, hastily waving her hands, her voice no longer calm as before, "N-no need!"

"How can that be? Mother Aponia said that children who don't dress properly will get sick."

"Then, then I'll do it myself!"

Saying that, Alyona quickly took the hat from Griseo's hand and began to put it on.

"That's nice. It looks like little Griseo will have someone to accompany her from now on."

Watching the interaction between the two little ones, Ivan said with a smile to Alexey beside him.

"Indeed. Alina said that little Griseo didn't interact with the other children in the camp and always stayed in her tent drawing. Having a friend is quite good."

Alexey nodded slightly, agreeing with his friend's opinion.

However, he then seemed to remember something and turned his head again, scrutinizing the giant Mr. Wolf.

Alexey watched for a while, and upon confirming that Mr. Wolf was truly floating, he suddenly felt like everything made sense...

"Little Griseo... I have something to ask you, answer your big brother honestly~" Alexey looked at Griseo and said in a low voice.

"Hm?"

Hearing this, the little loli stopped what she was doing, then turned her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, waiting for him to continue.
