Miku Izayoi had her own way of winning her over.
Alicia, or whoever else... it was the same!
Sometimes, Little Griseo would take the initiative.
But sometimes, she preferred to simply enjoy herself.
She had always been like that.
Cute and lovable.
Willful, yet endearing!
Maybe she had changed?
Maybe she hadn't.
Inside the command section, in the area of the command center.
Miss Ark slightly raised her small hand and looked at the bracelet on her wrist—the gift Little Griseo had given her. It was plain, yet beautiful. They had bought it together, and both of them had one.
The other wives might not have had matching couple items that Little Griseo wore on her person. But Miss Ark was different. She had been given that privilege.
As long as she looked at the bracelet on her hand,
it felt as though her heart filled with sweetness.
Not the kind of sweetness that made one's teeth ache,
but a faint sweetness, as if she were savoring maltose, lingering and endless.
Miss Ark had also been taking physical form more often lately and moving about in the outside world.

On the surface, her state seemed much the same as that of the other girls.

Even if she said nothing and thought of nothing,
she would often return home to take a look.
Being able to see Little Griseo's figure
filled her heart
