Vita Doesn't Want to Fall (Continued)

Taking the opportunity, Elysia snuggled up to the somewhat bewildered Griseo and gave her some advice with a smile.

"I... I understand, Sister Elysia..."

Griseo blushed slightly as she looked at Vita, her gaze still carrying a hint of confusion.

Even though Vita's appearance doesn't exactly suggest she's a good person, she's clearly the one being bullied right now, isn't she?

And...

Her gaze shifted to the black-haired youth beside her, and the doubt in Griseo's eyes deepened even further.

"Is Little Griseo interested in the marks?"

Noticing the girl's slight change, Elysia asked with a smile.

"Hmm, I've never seen such a strange color before."

Griseo nodded, and then, noticing the boy's gaze, hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean you looked strange. It's just that I have a rather special ability—I can analyze all sorts of things through color..."

I know.

I've heard many things about you from Elysia.

Seeing the embarrassment on the girl's face, Shi Hen immediately smiled and comforted her.

While it's not entirely wrong to directly mention the Elysian Realm, just like how people after graduating from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) often want to burn their embarrassing past, let's use Fairy Miss as a shield for now.

Anyway, once Griseo returns to her Elysian Realm, the other party will naturally understand everything.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, the blue-haired girl, who was still trying to figure out how to explain, was instantly dumbfounded.

"So, in Griseo's eyes, what color am I right now?"

Shi Hen asked with a smile, a hint of anticipation appearing in his bright black eyes.

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing this, Griseo's face showed a hint of contemplation before she slowly spoke, "Your color is somewhat like the white of moonlight, but with a touch of warmth, like the sunshine in early spring."

Moreover, you are surrounded by many other colors..."

As she spoke, Griseo couldn't help but glance at the Fairy Miss beside her.

Among the colors surrounding the boy, one was strikingly identical to that of Elysia.

She is even purer and more like Elysia than Elysia is now.

"You can even tell that?"

Touching his chin, Shi Hen felt that Griseo's abilities were actually more suited to setting up a stall under the overpass.

At least, she's more suitable than a certain Lady of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"And what about me? Can Little Griseo tell what color I am?"

Vita asked excitedly, her eyes full of smiles as she looked at the blue-haired girl.

"Gray, and a very cold gray."

Griseo said without hesitation.

"Huh? Is this really not just Little Griseo's prejudice against me?"

Vita immediately put on a hurt expression.

"Hmm..."

Seeing this, Griseo's face immediately showed some hesitation.

Even though her body and mind have grown a lot during her thousands of years of travel, she still retains the innocence of childhood when it comes to interpersonal relationships.

"Little Griseo is the most honest and reliable person, so Vita, you'd better reflect on your actions."

Otherwise, you probably wouldn't want to be disliked by Yixin and the others, right?

Seeing that Griseo was about to be thoroughly manipulated by the wicked woman, Elysia immediately chimed in with a smile.

"..."

In an instant, Vita's pleasant smile froze as she was manipulated by the Fairy Miss.

But she quickly adjusted her expression and turned Vita gaze to the composed young man beside her, saying, "Alright, now that we've confirmed that Little Griseo is safe and sound, when does our dear Bishop Shi Hen Timemark plan to leave Foros?"

On that distant third planet, there must be many people waiting for you to return, right?

Making a girl who likes you wait a long time is not a good habit~

"He was the former Bishop."

"Besides," Shi Hen corrected simply, a light smile appearing on his face, "Does Miss Vita really not want to see us?"

I actually quite like Miss Vita and the planet Foros.

"Oh, that's such a shame."

After all, I don't have the habit of letting lions stay in my house for long.

With her arms crossed, Vita spoke in a lackluster tone.

Although she still couldn't see the truth about the boy, Vita believed that he must be connected to the disappearance of the Cocoon of Finality.

In other words, the other party is a far more dangerous and terrifying character than Saha.

After all, even ignoring the factor of strength, she knew Sao very well and knew how to get along with this god.

But Shi Hen... she had absolutely no idea what this guy was thinking.

"This place can't really be considered Miss Vita's home yet."

If you want to fight for the family fortune, you have to prove your strength.

Shi Hen said with a slight smile.

That's the truth.

Even though Vita could be considered a founding member of Foros in reality, she was still just a pawn in So's hands, and her status was far inferior to that of Little Vita like Yixin.

If Foros is likened to a giant flower garden, then Vita is at best a pair of scissors in the gardener's hands, used to trim the branches and leaves of the flowers into the desired shape.

"There's no need for Bishop Shi Hen to worry about such matters."

Since Bishop Shi Hen has said this is a family matter, then let Little Vita handle it herself, shall we?

Vita said with a smile.

Even though she believed the boy truly possessed power comparable to that of Suzaku, she had finally won her freedom from Suzaku and didn't want to lose it again so easily.

"It's not a good habit to keep going until you hit a wall, Miss Vita."

Shi Hen sighed softly.

"But if we don't try, who can be sure that what lies ahead will be a dead end?"

Vita's smile didn't diminish in the slightest.

"Then I'll wait for Miss Vita to ask me for help."

No matter when or where, I will never abandon any of my own people.

Shi Hen smiled and said.

"Bishop Shi Hen should prepare for disappointment."

Vita said in a tone that carried a hint of indifference.

Whenever there is a glimmer of hope, she will try to solve the problem herself rather than rely on others.

After all, every gift of fate comes with a price tag, and she didn't want to be molded into some kind of mess by the boy in the future.

"Um?"

Seeing Vita and the boy's almost confrontational demeanor, Griseo tilted her head in confusion.

"Let the adults handle the adult matters. Little Griseo just needs to be happy."

Elysia shook hands with the blue-haired girl and said with a smile.

"I'm not a child anymore."

Griseo's cheeks immediately puffed up.

"But if Little Griseo wants to truly become an adult, she still has a lot to learn."

Seeing the girl's puffed-up cheeks, Elysia couldn't help but giggle sweetly.

Griseo: "???"

"Little Griseo will understand these things later."

Meeting the girl's questioning gaze, Elysia simply smiled and blinked. "Speaking of which, Little Griseo must have been to many different stars by now, right? Can you tell me about them?"

After all, I've never been to the world of stars before~

"Hmm..."

Immediately drawn to the Fairy Miss's request, Griseo pondered for a long while before slowly speaking, "Once, the Ark landed on a star covered in ice and snow..."

Accompanied by the girl's intermittent narration, Shi Hen and the others returned to Foros City smoothly without encountering any noteworthy accidents along the way.

Gazing at the magnificent city, which appeared like an oil painting under the thin twilight, Griseo's eyes widened in surprise, her star-like eyes sparkling with astonishment.

Not long ago, she was trapped in a cycle of dreams caused by an unknown enemy, and she thought that she would be greeted by a fierce battle after waking up.

But now...

"Sister Vita, Brother Shi Hen, Sister Elysia, over here!"

Before Griseo could have any more time to think, a warm shout rang out the moment they approached the city.

"Ah! It's Yixin!"

Seeing the little girl waiting at the city gate, Elysia smiled and went up to pat the girl's head. "Little Yixin, did you wait for us here on purpose?"

"Yes, Sister Cheng and the others have already prepared the celebration. Let me take you there."

Nodding and smiling in response, Yixin's gaze swept over Shi Hen and the others before settling on Griseo. "And this lady is?"

"My name is Griseo, and I come from the third planet of the Solar System."

Griseo said in a slightly nervous tone.

"The Solar System?"

With a slightly puzzled look, Yixin quickly ignored it and said, "Sister Griseo must be Vita's friend too, so let's all come to the celebration! Everyone has prepared lots and lots of delicious food!"

As he spoke, Yixin stretched his arms wide to the sides, as if trying to describe the abundance of the food in this way.

Sister Griseo...

For a moment, Griseo was completely bewildered by the term "Yixin," and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, her purple eyes filled with a dazed look.

She has always been treated like a child by the people around her, and there are hardly any peers around her. When has she ever experienced anything like this?

It took Griseo a while to come to her senses, but she didn't forget to ask for details, "What kind of celebration was it?"

"Little Griseo will find out when she gets there; I'm sure it will be a lot of fun."

You're right, aren't you, Hen?

Elysia said with a smile, glancing at the black-haired youth beside her.

"Yes, I believe this will be a celebration that all the people of Foros will never forget."

Shi Hen smiled and nodded gently.

Vita: "..."

She was certain that this inherently wicked boy was planning to cause trouble at the celebration.

Even knowing all this, she still needs the boy's power to exist, and now all she can do is kneel on the ground and shout, "I can't do anything."

"Does Miss Vita have any objections to this?"

Shi Hen asked with a smile.

"No.
