A Person in Arknights, Starting as Griseo Chapter 46

After washing her face and removing the paint, w sat back down by the campfire.

Thankfully, the paint washed off easily. Otherwise, w wouldn't be sitting here so calmly right now...

Then, w raised an eyebrow at Ines, who was sitting beside her, her meaning clear.

Hedley, sitting on the other side, also turned his gaze to Ines, quietly waiting for her to speak. After all, he also wanted to know what his comrade had discovered.

"You must have noticed it too, w, the child's change..." Ines didn't rush to explain, instead looking at w and speaking softly.

"Mhm..."

Hearing this, w nodded gently.

Everyone present were battle-hardened mercenaries; no one was foolish, including w. After all, one couldn't survive in Sarkaz territory by being silly and naive.

Naturally, w had noticed Greysho's sudden transformation. Moreover, this wasn't the first time w had seen the little loli undergo such a change.

"Then let me talk about what I saw first."

Glancing at w, whose expression had returned to its calm state, Ines continued, "The child's shadow changed when you, w, leaned in close... It went from something I couldn't understand or see through, to something similar to yours."

"In my opinion, this isn't something that can be achieved through simple imitation. It should be related to the child's abilities."

Honestly, after noticing the change in Greysho's shadow, Ines had been stunned on the spot.

This was the first time in her life she had ever seen a person's shadow change like this, giving her such a feeling.

This reason also made Ines curious about Greysho.

Of course, despite her curiosity, Ines wouldn't be as reckless as w and go over to offend her. That would be completely out of character and contrary to her way of doing things.

"I understand~"

After listening to Ines, w didn't show any surprise. She simply responded nonchalantly.

w had already suspected Greysho's "special traits."

Both today's situation and Ines's words had only further confirmed this suspicion. Therefore, she wasn't surprised at all.

"..."

Seeing w's lack of surprise, Ines wasn't the least bit taken aback.

After all, w had been interacting with Greysho privately for several days. If w hadn't noticed anything, Ines wouldn't have believed it.

"There are still a few minor issues, but it's getting more and more interesting." As she spoke, w narrowed her golden eyes slightly, leaving others wondering what she was thinking.

Hedley, who had been silent the entire time, looked at his two comrades and helplessly shrugged.

After "escaping" from w, Greysho immediately gave up on the idea of finding Mudrock.

After all, in her current state, the little loli was genuinely afraid that if she found the Sarkaz Big Girl, she'd be met with a face-to-face taunt and outburst...

Even now, Greysho wasn't planning on wandering around outside. She intended to go back directly. At this time, Alyona should be waking up soon.

If the little white bear didn't see her own people for a long time, she would get anxious.

What's more, in a sense, an opportunity to put w in a difficult position had been delivered right into Greysho's hands.

If the conditions allowed, the little loli might have already set up her easel and started painting the colors of w that had gotten on her onto the canvas.

Although Greysho herself couldn't be sure of the effect of every painting, most of the time, paintings served to evoke the deepest fears in the viewer's heart.

In this situation, the little loli even felt... it would be a shame not to give one to w.

With the idea in mind, Greysho acted quickly. On her way back, she tried her best to avoid contact with others.

After all, her face was still adorned with w's signature smile...

If showing this to Mudrock would at most lower her favorability and be a bit awkward, then showing it to someone familiar would be complete social suicide, awkwardness, and an admission of guilt.

As Greysho pushed aside the tent flap and entered, she saw Alyona sitting on the bed, lost in thought.

"!"

Alyona looked up when she heard the sound. Upon seeing Greysho, the confusion and worry in her beautiful light green eyes vanished instantly.

However, before she could happily get out of bed to greet her, the little loli's smile and words made her freeze on the spot.

"Hey, let me see who's been waiting for me in the tent?"

ps: I hope I can update early today. Accumulating writing for the night is really a bit grim. I'm currently in a state of being sleepy, but not overwhelmingly so.

A little nudge. Chapter 79: "Forced" Recovery and Painting

"Hey, let me see who's been waiting for me in the tent?"

"……?"

Seeing Griseo, who looked completely unfamiliar, standing before her, Alyona was momentarily stunned. She couldn't help but rub her eyes.

But no matter how much the little white bear rubbed her eyes, when she opened them again, she still saw the little loli with a playful smile.

"……"

After a brief silence, Alyona quickly got out of bed and walked straight towards Griseo.

"What, are you in such a hurry to see me?" As Alyona approached quickly, Griseo didn't try to dodge at all, saying with a giggle.

"Mmm…"

And just like that, the "arrogant" Griseo was scooped up into a hug by the approaching Alyona, her little head pressed into the soft clothing…

Initially, the little loli subconsciously wanted to struggle. But when she remembered her companion was injured, she lightened her grip, only making a few token movements.

This level of struggle was definitely not enough to break free, so Griseo was "controlled" by Alyona like this.

A moment later, feeling that she had calmed down enough, Griseo reached out and gently patted Alyona's shoulder, signaling her to let go.

"Hoo…"

After her companion released her, Griseo finally lifted her little head and couldn't help but let out a big sigh.

This was the first time the little loli felt that the clothes she gave Alyona were of such good quality… she had never felt this way before.

"Where did you go, and why do you look like this? Don't tell me it was that person…?" Looking at Griseo, who was lightly panting, Alyona asked with a hint of worry in her light green eyes.

Although she was asking, the little white bear's tone was quite certain.

After all, she didn't think anyone in Reunion, besides that annoying woman, could have dyed Griseo the way she was just now.

"Mmm… I was stopped by W… before." Looking into her companion's eyes, Griseo didn't intend to hide anything and nodded gently before answering.

"As expected…"

Hearing this, Alyona's face remained gentle, but her eyes couldn't stop churning with anger.

Others might not know, but she, who was by Griseo's side every day, knew perfectly well.

That Sarkaz mercenary was an incredibly malicious person… she was constantly making small moves, and when she secretly appeared before the two of them in private, she had an infuriating expression on her face.

It made the little white bear want to blast Originium Arts right at her face, but every time she wanted to act, Griseo would stop her.

"It's okay, it didn't cause me too much trouble." Seeing Alyona's anger, Griseo stood on tiptoe and gently patted her head to comfort her.

"And, after getting W's color on me, mmm… I took my paintbrush and gave her face a little something."

As she said this, Griseo slightly turned her face, a hint of guilt flashing in her violet eyes.

After all, others might not know, but the little loli herself was very clear. That one stroke was completely smeared on.

Honestly, Griseo was even sure that if she hadn't run away a little slower then, she might have faced the wrath of W and her "revenge."

Especially since what the little loli said at that time was so incredibly annoying…

When Alyona noticed the guilt in Griseo's eyes, she mistook it for fear and worry, so she softened her voice and said, "It's alright, it's just a stroke of paint, it's nothing. If anything happens, I'll go with you to find Sister Talulah."

After speaking, the little white bear didn't forget to reach out and pat Griseo's little head.

"Mmm, I'm fine, Alyona, don't worry, there's no need to find Talulah now." As she spoke, Griseo gently nuzzled the hand stroking her head.

"Besides, I've already figured out how to deal with W…"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Alyona was slightly taken aback, then looked at the little loli with curiosity, waiting for her answer.

"Painting… Alyona, will you accompany me?"

After stating her answer, Griseo's violet eyes sparkled, and she looked at her companion with a serious expression.

"Mmm, I'll stay here with you."

Understanding Griseo's intention, a smile flickered in Alyona's beautiful light green eyes, and she softly agreed.

Having spent some time with the little loli, Alyona had already learned a lot about her traits and abilities.

Moreover, a few nights ago, Talulah and the others had called her out to inform and instruct her on some matters.

This allowed Alyona to understand Griseo on another level. While she might not be the one who understood her the best, she was certainly among those who did.

Therefore, as soon as Griseo mentioned painting, she instantly understood what she meant.

"Mmm…"

Upon hearing her companion agree, a smile unconsciously appeared in Griseo's eyes.

Then, before she could say anything, the azure knight silently appeared beside her, helping her set up the easel and other things.

"Alright, Alyona, come sit here."

Griseo gently patted the small stool next to the easel, then turned to look at Alyona.

Ever since the relationship between the two little ones grew closer, a small stool had appeared next to the little loli's easel, a stool exclusively for the little white bear.

"Mm."

With all preparations complete, Griseo began to paint using W's colors. The moment she put brush to paper, she, as always, became immersed in her painting.

Alyona, sitting on the small stool nearby, showed great understanding. As soon as the little loli started painting, she completely stopped moving and became utterly still, watching the person and the painting before her with serious attention.

Time ticked by, and the paper on the easel gradually transformed from pure white to a riot of colors.

To be honest, Griseo was quite looking forward to this painting. It wasn't because she wanted to "repay" W... it was simply because she was really looking forward to it...

ps: So hungry, I'll go grab a meal and continue writing. Why can't manuscripts just multiply on their own? If only computers could type by themselves. The second chapter tonight should be around 10 PM, if nothing unexpected happens. Next, I'll recommend a friend's book; you can check it out if you're interested.

Chapter 80: An Empty Chase and Ines

"..."

After Griseo added the final stroke to the canvas, she slowly withdrew from her immersed state, from W's colors.

However, this time, the little loli didn't immediately examine the artwork before her as she usually did. Instead, she put down her brush, lowered her small head, and gently placed a hand over her heart.

Even though she had emerged from W's colors, Griseo felt a trace of sadness welling up within her.

Yet, for a moment, she didn't know what she was sad about...

It wasn't until the little loli looked up and carefully examined the painting before her that she found her answer.

So, this emotion stemmed from W, from something hidden deep within her colors
