Chapter 160

[Q&A begins.]

[After Griseo and Elysia met, how did Gretchen greet Raiden Mei?]

[A: Hi Sister Mei, did you miss me?]

[B: Don't move, Sister Mei, can I borrow your eyes to look in the mirror?]

[C: A new day begins with a wonderful encounter, right, Sister Mei?]

[D: Hi, Sister Mei, would you like me to make a painting for you?]

Kiana: "What kind of question is that?!"

The Kiana are furious!

The question sounds serious, but none of the four answers are serious.

Just looking at these annoying words, she could almost picture Elysia grabbing Raiden Mei's hand, her bright eyes fixed on her.

Chapter 262 Griseo, Infinity Canvas

Raiden Mei: "This question... is a bit inappropriate."

Compared to Kiana's lemon-eating mood, Raiden Mei was much calmer.

Elysia: "Is it inappropriate? I think it's great. It's simple and reasonable, and every sentence is so sweet and cute."

Griseo: "Sweet and lovely!"

Bronya: "Let's analyze this rationally then, like the last one... Sister Mei, would you like me to make a painting for you?"

Although these words would be somewhat shameful and difficult for a normal person to say.

But Bronya is Bronya after all, and she's used to calling Sister Mei all the time, so she didn't feel much pressure saying those words.

A white fluffy ball of fur glared at her with displeasure.

Theresa: "Elysia, does Griseo often paint for people?"

Elysia: "How should I answer this question?"

Griseo's painting process was unpredictable; she might paint whenever she was in a good mood, or whenever she was already saturated with paint.

Elysia: "The scenario of asking someone to draw for her upon first meeting is probably rare for Griseo, right? Cosmo, what do you think?"

Cosmo, along with Apponia and Griseo's two guardians.

For such detailed questions, it's best to ask the two of them; they'll know the answers best.

Cosmo: "... rarely."

Elysia: "Then let's eliminate the last one first, and then look at the others... Hmm, they all fit my personality perfectly."

Elysia: "A new day begins with a new encounter, don't you think, Mei?"

Raiden Mei: "Ahem, I guess so."

What's wrong with Elysia? She's just an ordinary cook, not some Mei from the Previous Era Elysian Realm Nowhere.

If you flirt like that, she'll feel really awkward under everyone's gaze.

Kiana: "..."

Only the Himeko felt that the top of her head had become even greener; touching Mei's corner was one thing, but it even flirted with her right in front of her.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Theresa: "But then, none of the three options have anything special about them. How do we choose?"

Elysia: "I have a great idea!"

The Pink Fairy's pupils flickered for a moment as she thought of a brilliant idea, and she slowly approached Griseo.

Seemingly feeling that the effect was not significant, she hugged him again.

Elysia's colors are rapidly spreading across the pure white canvas.

Elysia: "Little Griseo, quickly say hello to Sister Mei."

Griseo: "Ah... Sister Mei, hi, did you miss me?"

[Correct answer.]

Cosmo: "..."

Raiden Mei: "Elysia, your method is really... effective."

Elysia: "Hmph, as long as it works."

And Little Griseo so soft and cute, it's so comfortable to hold her.

Elysia could now understand what Apponia had said earlier. The children, with their innocent, small faces, were so adorable.

[Congratulations to Griseo for receiving the reward: three canvases.]

[Description: The canvas is always in a state of three overlapping canvases. Removing one or two canvases at a time will return the canvas to three in the next second. However, if all three canvases are removed, the inexhaustible magic will cease to exist.]

Elysia: "Wow, there are so many strange things. As long as I don't take three at once, I'll never run out of them, right? I'll give it a try."

One canvas was taken away, and under Elysia's curious gaze, the stack of canvases returned to its original state.

Taking two cards will have the same effect.

Griseo: "Wow... these are really interesting props, Little Sister Elysia. Do I have an endless supply of canvases?"

Elysia: "Hmm, before I knew it, I've spent quite a bit of time with you."

Griseo: "Hmm... yes."

After thinking for a moment, Elysia took two steps back, gradually creating distance between herself and Griseo.

If she spent more time with her, the colors on Griseo's clothes wouldn't be so easy to blend.

In the scene, Elysia and Griseo are in a room together, quietly watching her paint.

"Oh dear, it seems I've been spending too much time with you."

Elysia glanced at the time.

"Hmm." Griseo nodded.

"It seems I have to leave quickly; if this continues, someone will be unhappy."

"..."

"Ah, Mei, you've come at just the right time. I was just about to go find you to help me mediate."

Raiden Mei happened to be passing by, Elysia didn't miss the opportunity, calling out to her.

"Reconcile?"

Raiden Mei glanced at Elysia, then at Griseo beside her.

"Ah, Sister Mei... Hi, did you miss me?"

Griseo held her paintbrush and spoke sweet words to Elysia.

"?"

"Look, this is the area I told you needed to reconcile."

"You taught me this?"

Raiden Mei's eyes widened in disbelief that Elysia could have corrupted such a well-behaved child as Griseo.

Aren't you afraid that Cosmo will come after you?

"Hmm... How so? Yes, and not entirely. Mei, haven't you noticed Mei 'Griseo special qualities yet?"

"Griseo is too well protected; I don't have many opportunities to get close to her."

Raiden Mei shook her head.

Almost every time she came into contact with Griseo, she would run into Cosmo, and then be driven away by his silence and refusal to communicate.

Trying to bypass Cosmo and reach Griseo won't be easy.

"Yeah, that's true. But even if that's not the case, Mei, you should still be careful about the amount of time you spend with Griseo."

"If one day I were to hear Griseo say something like 'The paintbrush, submit to me'... No, no, that would be too strange."

Just imagining that scene made Elysia want to record it.

Cosmo: "..."

Elysia: "Ahem, Cosmo, don't mind her, Griseo. She likes to draw, but she should also try to interact with other people."

Cosmo: "I... understand what you mean."

But that thing about "[the paintbrush, submit to me]" is really too strange.

Cosmo seriously suspected that these strange things might be subtly influencing Griseo.

Theresa: "Hmm... I understand! Griseo's ability is expressed through painting, and she herself is the canvas!"

No wonder Griseo said those things after interacting with Elysia.

The headmaster gradually came to understand everything.

Himeko Murata: "Theresa, you didn't just realize that now, did you?"

Kiana: "Auntie, wasn't it obvious when Griseo answered the question just now?"

Theresa: "Ahem! Of course I know, I was just reminding you because I was afraid you wouldn't know, wasn't I?"

Chapter 263 Life is tough, even ancestors sigh.

Theresa felt the stares from those around her were incredibly irritating, as if she were a fool for being so slow to realize it.

Theresa: "But is this ability really okay? Absorbing other people's traits and all that."

Elysia: "Because you've got one thing wrong. If Griseo is described as a canvas, then her powerful Original will cause it to fade."

Elysia: "For example, I was with Griseo for a while, and then I left for a while. If I handled it properly, she recovered quickly."

Sure enough, not long after, Griseo, who was almost identical to Elysia, was once again engrossed in her painting.

Kiana: "What an amazing ability! I'm suddenly curious what Griseo will become if I stay here for a while."

Bronya: "No, Kiana's an idiot, she'll affect Griseo."

Kiana: "Bronya, what did you say? Are you saying I'm not as smart as a child?"

Bronya: "That's what the idiot said, it has nothing to do with Bronya."

The two rivals exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying an unspoken determination to win.

Seele: "Sister Bronya, Kiana, don't fight."

Veliona: "What do you care about those two, Seele, it's your game."

Seele: "Huh?"

Wendy: "I won!"

In the moment Seele panicked, Wendy seized the opportunity and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the game controller, making Seele's little head buzz.

Theresa: "Even though they're all grown up, they act more like children than Seele."

Himeko Murata: "Theresa, aren't you curious what you'd look like if you got close to Griseo?"

Theresa: "Oh? So, Griseo's power is to reflect the human heart."

People's understanding of their own inner selves is often like looking at flowers through fog or glimpsing the moon's reflection in water.

Griseo's ability, on the other hand, allows one to reveal the most vibrant aspects of a person's inner self.

Theresa: "If I absorbed the Dean's color, it would definitely turn Griseo into a wise Dean."

Theresa crossed her arms and nodded confidently.

For example, "[Griseo the cutest person in the world]".

In the scene, Raiden Mei lowers her head and ponders for a moment, trying to understand the meaning behind Elysia's words.
