After arriving, Griseo spotted Mudrock with just one glance, then took Alina by the hand and headed over.
Mudrock had noticed Griseo and Alina earlier as well, so when they approached, she rose to greet them.
"Good morning, Big Sister Mudrock..."
"Good morning, little Griseo. Is there something you need this time?"
"...?"
Watching the hulking figure before her whom Griseo had called "Big Sister Mudrock," and hearing that deep voice, Alina suddenly fell silent. A huge question mark slowly appeared over her head.
P.S. Today's update could originally have come earlier, but then a friend asked me to log into a game for him, and I got transported again... Send some votes.
Also, there are way too many Europeans among my readers. Damn it.
Paintings and Hugs
"The painting we agreed on is finished, so I came to find you today, Big Sister Mudrock." Griseo looked up at Mudrock and answered her question.
After answering, the little girl turned to Alina beside her and introduced her. "This is Big Sister Alina. She was a little worried about me, so she came along."
"I see..."
Hearing that, Mudrock nodded lightly and looked at Alina.
She had actually heard about the conflict between Griseo and W recently, so she was not surprised that someone had accompanied the little girl. She even rather supported it.
After all, W's reputation was quite "well-known" among mercenaries.
After noticing Mudrock's gaze, Alina quickly came back to her senses and spoke in a gentle, polite tone.
"Ah, sorry, I was distracted just now. My name is Alina, and for the time being, I'm one of this child's guardians. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Mudrock."
"Mm, it's a pleasure to meet you too, Miss Alina." After hearing Alina's introduction, Mudrock nodded again and replied.
