"But..."
"I have a friend who can protect me, don't worry... I will be back soon."
After saying that, Griseo stared at the two people who were somewhat doubtful with her big, serious eyes.
"Uh, do we have to go out?"
Lois had always been the one who couldn't stand Griseo's serious gaze. Being stared at like this, she relented a little.
In addition, after Griseo fell asleep last night, Yelena also said some words to her.
"Well, don't worry, I will protect myself."
Facing Lois's inquiry, Griseo quickly nodded her little head and answered.
Seeing the atmosphere between the big and the small, Leos on the side raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly, "Wait... Lois, do you agree?"
"What else can we do? Little Griseo has the ability to protect herself, and we can't always keep her in a safe place."
After hearing her friend's question, Lois gently raised the corners of her lips and asked back with a smile.
"...Okay, okay, little Gray's partner is really strong." After turning his head to look at Lois, Leos spread his hands helplessly.
"Then little Gray, remember to come back early and pay attention to safety," Lois said, smiling and touching the little loli's head.
"Well, have you had breakfast?"
After Lois agreed, a flash of joy appeared in Gray's eyes, but then she seemed to remember something and asked softly.
"Don't worry, Lois and I have already eaten. Little Gray just needs to take care of yourself and your little partner."
This time, before Lois could answer, Leos on the side spoke first.
"Okay then."
Griseo nodded her little head gently, then raised her little feet and planned to leave and go outside.
However, at this moment, a hoarse voice full of urgency suddenly sounded.
"Wait a minute... I'll go with you."
Hearing this, Griseo paused, then turned around and saw Alyona, who had just put on her clothes and rushed out in a hurry.
"Okay, don't worry." Griseo stretched out her little hand toward the girl who was running toward her.
Griseo didn't mind having an extra companion on the trip and was even a little happy. And she also had the power to protect her friends...
Normally, Alyona would never take the initiative to hold Griseo's hand, but this time... by accident, she grabbed the smooth little hand that was stretched out to her.
"..."
Griseo saw that her hand was held, so she grasped that hand in turn, and then slowly walked out with Alyona. While walking, the little loli kept using her warm hands to cover the girl's hands that had become cold because of her eagerness to dress and get up.
"Thank you..."
Obviously, Alyona also noticed this, and then whispered in her hoarse voice to Griseo's ear.
"..."
Alyona's sudden thanks made Griseo pause slightly. Then a trace of helplessness flashed in her big violet eyes.
To be honest, Griseo didn't like her friends being so polite to her over various trivial matters.
That would make her feel alienated, and she hoped that her little friend would not be so polite.
But the little loli also knew that this kind of thing could not be changed in a short time and required a long time of companionship.
But by chance, what Griseo didn't lack the most was time... If she wanted, she could always be with her partner.
...
Not long after leaving the warehouse, Griseo was once again stared at... The large number of infected people outside could be said to be looking at the two of them in unison.
Alyona, who was suddenly stared at by so many people, took a step back subconsciously.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Unlike Alyona, Griseo didn't care about these eyes at all and was not scared. She slightly adjusted her position to block most of the eyes for her friend behind her.
"It's okay, I'm not scared, I was just startled," Alyona explained softly in her hoarse voice, looking at the petite figure blocking her.
"Yeah."
After listening to Alyona's explanation, Griseo nodded, and then continued to lead the girl forward.
——————————————
After pulling Alyona to the campfire, Griseo temporarily entrusted her to Mr. Wolf, who was busy wearing a small apron.
And she walked quickly to find Yelena.
However, after Griseo was left alone, the infected people around her looked at her with even stranger eyes, some of which were mixed with sporadic malice, accompanied by whispers.
If some infected people would report to the Yeti team before, now they all understood that Griseo, a non-infected person, was with the Yeti.
But it is precisely because of this that these infected miners were even more surprised.
Because they had not seen people who do not discriminate against infected people in the land of Ursus for too long. Even if this person is just a child...
Faced with these messy looks, Griseo, let alone her expression, even her eyes and emotions did not change at all, and she just focused on going to where Yelena was at the moment.
Although in a sense, these people could be regarded as rescued by Griseo, she had no desire to contact them at all...
It is not ruled out that some of these infected miners were kind, innocent, and beautiful, but there were too few...
At this moment, wherever the little loli looked, almost all of them were turbid colors.
...
When Griseo finally found Yelena, she was about to send someone back to report to Talulah.
So, the little loli naturally asked her partner, the Driver, to escort her.
Then the two chatted for a while, until Yelena heard the sound of Griseo's belly; she stopped the conversation and took the little cutie to have breakfast.
On the way, Yelena also calmly shocked these infected people who had been rescued not long ago.
