Having passed through the woods long before, Griseo recognized the girl with antlers the moment she saw her, even knowing which world she was in.
It was precisely because of this that she stood there blankly thinking at first, only to be tackled to the ground.
As for how she recognized her identity, it was all thanks to Ye Li's memories. Within those memories was a game called "Arknights."
If those memories were correct, Griseo recalled that the kind girl with antlers beside her was named Alina, and the continent she was currently on seemed to be called Terra.
Honestly, these realizations almost completely negated the possibility of Griseo being a [Stellar] with the memories of a transmigrator.
Unless, this world was the new home that [Stellar] had been searching for alone in the universe, but no matter how she looked at it, the possibility seemed very slim.
Alina, holding the little loli's hand, was anxious to leave, but she still hesitated for a moment. After collecting the supplies that had been snatched from her earlier, she quickly departed.
During this process, Griseo simply followed along obediently. Only after the two had moved far away did she have Mister Knight, who had been deterring the enemies, conceal himself.
"Hoo... Um... Little sister, where is your home?"
After running a good distance with the little loli, confirming they were temporarily out of danger, Alina slowed her pace and began to inquire about Griseo's situation.
However, before Griseo could answer, Alina frowned, a flicker of heartache in her azure eyes.
The previous events had been too dangerous and swift; she hadn't had much time to observe the child before her.
It was only now that Alina noticed Griseo's unusual attire. While she could accept the skirt and bare legs, the small, tender, bare feet sinking deep into the snow were something she absolutely could not accept!
How could a child be barefoot on a snowy plain with thick snow? Even her own Talulah only went around with bare legs, not barefoot!
"Home... I don't have a home anymore..."
After a moment of dazed silence, Griseo slowly lowered her small head, feeling a long-lost sense of dejection.
And at the same time...
"Grumble~"
ps: I don't have a computer with me right now, so I'll add the cover later. Also, before this book gets signed, I'll try my best to ensure two stable updates daily. Thank you for your support.
Chapter 3 Mother
"Grumble~"
Just as the little loli was looking down sadly, her stomach rumbled again at an inopportune moment.
"Are you hungry? I only have fruit right now, so eat something to fill your stomach first. After we get back, I'll find you something else to eat. Also, are your feet cold? Do you need me to carry you?"
Looking at Griseo, who was sadly lowering her head, Alina bent down and gently stroked her little head, her voice softening again as she comforted her.
"It's okay. If you don't have anywhere to go now, then come back with me."
After speaking, Alina took out some fruit from the supplies in her arms and offered it to the cute loli before her.
"...Thank you, Nuan Nuan."
Looking at the fruit offered to her, Griseo blinked slightly. After taking the fruit, she thanked Alina very earnestly. She knew how scarce supplies were here, and that many people starved to death.
"No need. You're injured... And I'm not cold."
After taking the fruit, Griseo gently shook her head, refusing Alina's kindness.
There was no need for it. For a Fusion Warrior, this kind of temperature and cold wind... at most, it felt a little cool or slightly chilly, not even enough to be considered cold. Moreover, Alina was injured.
"Eh, you're not cold? My injury... isn't that serious. I can get it bandaged when we get back."
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Alina's face. But after glancing at Griseo's still tender-looking legs and bare feet, which showed no signs of frostbite, she slowly relaxed.
"Speaking of which, my name is Alina. What's your name, little sister? And why have you been calling me 'Nuan Nuan'?"
After relaxing, Alina briefly introduced herself, not forgetting to ask the question that had been on her mind.
She had noticed earlier that the cute little one before her had consistently called her "Nuan Nuan."
"My name is Griseo... Because Nuan Nuan is Nuan Nuan."
Gazing at Alina and the warm yellow colors around her, Griseo blinked her violet eyes and explained in a calm tone.
"Heh~ Griseo... That's a lovely name."
Alina let out a helpless chuckle, then extended her hand to Griseo, inviting her again, "So, Griseo, are you going to come back with me?"
[Ding, Mission Triggered]
[Mission: Safely escort Alina back to camp]
[Reward: Griseo's exclusive weapon (Starlight of the Past), complete set of drawing tools]
The moment she heard Alina's invitation, a mechanical voice sounded in Griseo's head.
After hearing the voice clearly, she was first slightly stunned, then her eyes lit up when she noticed the second reward. At this moment, the exclusive weapon seemed less important.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the little loli whose ahoge swayed and suddenly became energetic, Alina asked with some confusion.
"Nothing... I'll protect you." Griseo shook her head gently, then looked at Alina and replied earnestly.
Of course, Griseo protected Alina not just because of the mission, but because she really liked the colors of the person before her. They were warm and made her feel comfortable…
So even without the mission, she would have protected Alina all along. Moreover, she really had nowhere else to go right now and needed a safe place to thoroughly research the current situation.
"Hehe~ Then I'll have to trouble you, little Griseo. Let's go."
;?;
"Mhm..."
Since there were no more problems, Alina didn't plan to linger here. No one could be sure if another group would come to make a move for the supplies in her arms.
Although Alina was kind, she wasn't foolish… nor did she think as highly of everyone as her close friend Talulah did. Especially after what she had just experienced…
Of course, Alina didn't underestimate Griseo's words… After all, both Mister Knight from before and various other details told her that the girl before her was no ordinary person.
;?;
On the way back to the encampment, Griseo was exceptionally well-behaved, quietly allowing Alina to lead her, carefully concealing their presence as they hurried along.
As they were nearing their destination, although her expression didn't change, a ripple of emotion surfaced in Griseo's heart once again.
Through deductions from various details and confirmation from the system, Griseo had already confirmed that she was a transmigration isekai who could transform.
Furthermore, she wasn't limited to just transforming into Griseo; there were other Valkyries as well, though the others required completing missions or meeting certain conditions to unlock.
After all, she was a transmigration isekai. Although the influence of Griseo's memories had turned her into a loli with no emotions, she was about to meet her former game wife (crossed out), so wasn't she a little excited?
"Alina!"
As the two arrived near the encampment and were about to greet the guards to enter, a slightly anxious voice called out.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing the dragon girl rushing towards her in a panic, Alina looked confused.
"It's great that you're okay, Alina! No… wait, you're injured!" Talulah, who had rushed to Alina's side, first breathed a sigh of relief, but upon seeing the bloodstains on Alina, her heart tightened again.
"I encountered some things, but it's nothing serious. I'll tell you later." Saying this, Alina shook her head gently, glanced at Griseo, and gave Talulah a meaningful look.
"?"
Just then, Talulah, who had been frantic and her eyes only on her dear deer, finally noticed the blue-haired loli beside her.
However, with just one glance, her brows furrowed slightly…
Because, no matter how she looked at it, Talulah felt a strong sense of incongruity from the loli before her… It was like seeing a naive little princess from a castle appearing in the slums.
Just looking at her attire, Alina might not have noticed anything, but Talulah, who had been forced to associate with Black Serpent for so many years, could tell at a glance that the fabric of Griseo's white dress wouldn't be cheap.
Moreover, the innocent and pure aura emanating from Griseo couldn't be concealed at all…
"Alina, who is this child?"
With a head full of questions, Talulah looked at her close friend, seeking an answer.
"This child is..."
However, just as Alina was about to explain and introduce her, Griseo's voice, which had almost no intonation, suddenly interrupted her.
"Mama..."
"?"
"???"
ps: This is chapter 1. I'll try my best to write chapter 2, as I'm quite busy today. Honestly, I feel the plot is a bit bland so far. I've thought of many fun things, but I can't write them out right now.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to share them in the comment section.
Chapter 4: Can I use it to draw a picture?
"Mama..."
"?"
"???"
Clearly, Griseo's address to Alina stunned both of them, especially Talulah, who was filled with shock and confusion… Even the infected guards on duty cast inquisitive glances in their direction upon hearing this.
"Little Griseo… you're something else."
Seeing her friend's shocked gaze, Alina felt a bit helpless towards the little loli she was holding. She then bent down and gently pinched Griseo's soft and cute little face as a form of punishment.
"Alina… you… you're something else."
Not minding her face being pinched, a hint of helplessness suddenly appeared on Griseo's face. Her aura began to shift from innocence to gentleness, and she spoke with slightly slurred words.
However, Alina didn't pay much attention to Griseo's subtle change. After gently pinching the loli's soft cheek again, she let go of her hand and then explained to Talulah:
"Alright, Talulah, don't listen to little Griseo's nonsense. It's complicated, I'll tell you later."
"Alright, Tarua, don't listen to Sister Alina's nonsense. It's complicated, I'll tell you later..."
As Alina finished her explanation, Griseo also looked up, staring at Talulah with her big violet eyes, and said with a helpless expression.
The expressions of the two, one big and one small, seemed to be carved from the same mold.
It was obvious that Griseo had completely taken on Alina's colors at this moment, completely shaped like Alina (a big fog).
"...You, why are you suddenly starting to talk like me?" Looking at Griseo's cute appearance, Alina couldn't help but feel amused.
At this moment, she finally realized Griseo's difference, but she didn't think much of it, just assuming it was childish play.
;?;
"...You duck, why are you suddenly starting to talk like me?"
Hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Griseo's eyes; she clearly didn't quite understand.
However, Alina didn't pay it any mind. After handing the supplies in her hands to Talulah, she scooped up Griseo and walked towards the encampment.
She hadn't forgotten that the little one in her arms was still hungry. Besides, it was so cold outside; anything else could be discussed inside.
"..."
Glancing at the supplies in her arms, Talulah ultimately said nothing more and quickly followed the two.
Although she didn't know exactly what Alina had gone through this time, it was good that she was unharmed... Seeing that she had sustained some minor injuries, it was much better than her previous guesses.
Alina's trip to trade for supplies this time had taken much longer than usual, and Talulah had thought...
It wasn't until Griseo was carried into the warm tent that the system's mechanical voice sounded in her mind again.
[Mission complete]
[Rewards have been distributed to system space and can be withdrawn at any time]
"Stay put here and don't run around, little Griseo. Big sister will go get you something to eat." After putting down the little loli in her arms, Alina crouched down and earnestly instructed her.
Although she hadn't conducted a detailed examination, Alina had confirmed through observation that Griseo was not an infected individual.
