"I'm full, and... Alyona, don't give up your food casually."
After saying this, Griseo gently pushed back Alyona's hand and the food she had stretched out in front of her.
"I won't give it to anyone else, um... I'll only give it to you, Griseo."
Hearing this, Alyona's expressionless face suddenly broke into a smile since she left the tent, and then she said to Griseo seriously.
"Hmm?"
Listening to Alyona's words, Griseo tilted her head slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, and the silly hair on her head shook.
Obviously, a little loli didn't understand at all how this topic suddenly came to her. However, Griseo did not dwell on this too much. She shook her head gently, threw away her messy thoughts, and then spoke again:
"I can't either. Alyona must learn to love and protect herself."
Looking at the cute blue-haired little Lolita in front of her, Alyona was slightly stunned, and a complex expression appeared in her light green eyes, but it soon disappeared.
"Well, I know."
Then, Alyona nodded gently and agreed, but at this moment, the smile on her face was even brighter.
Although the little white bear agreed very straightforwardly now, as for what he would do later... maybe only he knew.
"Well, eat quickly..."
After hearing that his partner agreed, Griseo did not say anything more, but just urged quietly.
"Okay~"
...
While Griseo and the others were communicating in a friendly manner, Talulah and the others also sorted out the information just revealed by the little Lolita.
"Do you understand, Sisters Talulah and Alina?"
Griseo turned her head and looked at Talulah and Alina, who had a strange expression at the moment.
"I understand... But how did you do it?"
After stroking the painting in her arms, Talulah asked Griseo softly.
Others didn't understand, but Talulah was different. She really understood the nature of the Black Snake too well.
That's why her expression was so strange at the moment...
However, even if Griseo said that the Deathless Black Snake had been sealed inside, Talulah didn't think that the painting was a "complete" Black Snake.
In her opinion, the snake sealed in the painting should only be one of the many...
Of course, even if it was just this, Talulah could be said to be very happy.
Although she didn't think she would agree with the Black Snake's theory now, it was still very good to have one less hidden danger on her body. After all, no one could say that nothing would happen.
"Well... because the painting I drew for you that night, in addition to affecting you, also affected the snake on your body." After listening to Talulah's question, Griseo organized her words a little before explaining.
"..."
The little girl's explanation instantly made Talulah and Alina, who were listening carefully, fall into silence.
How to say it? Before Griseo explained, both of them thought that the little guy must have put in a lot of effort... at least it was troublesome.
Who knew that now, when they heard it, they suddenly found that the reason why the Black Snake was hit was so outrageous, and even a little funny, their expressions became even weirder.
"That day, I drew a total of three... paintings?"
Griseo, who was about to say something, suddenly thought of something when he mentioned the number of paintings. A trace of guilt flashed in her big violet eyes, and her tone became a little uncertain.
Because, if you count the one drawn on Talulah's face in the middle of the night, the little girl drew four paintings in one go that day.
"What's wrong?"
Talulah noticed the uncertainty in Griseo's tone and looked over subconsciously. Then, after noticing the guilty look in her big eyes, she asked curiously.
"Nothing... That night, after you fell asleep, the snake emerged, and then I painted it with its color and sealed it up."
Faced with Talulah's question, Griseo quickly hid the guilty look in her eyes, shook her little head, and changed the subject.
Hearing this, Talulah did not dwell on the previous question, but smiled and said gratefully:
"So that's how it is. Thank you, little guy. You really helped a lot."
"Well... You're welcome."
As she spoke, Griseo shook her head again, and the cute hair on her head shook gently again.
Although this matter was indeed a big deal for Talulah, it was really not a big problem for Griseo... It was just a matter of staying up all night.
As for staying up late to draw, she had always done it before... so it was not a big problem.
Of course, most of the time she did it secretly behind Aponia's back, otherwise she would have to face the 'love' education from the nun.
What's more, in a sense, the matter of the Black Snake was not completely over in Griseo's opinion. Only Talulah and the people who had been implanted with snake scales before were over and liberated.
As for why she said that, it was because she was not completely sure whether the existence of the nature of the Black Snake... would revive.
Although that night, Griseo used the painting to indirectly affect all the fragments of the Black Snake and sealed them all in the painting in one fell swoop, but even so, she was not sure.
Even the little loli could kill the Black Snake sealed in the painting by tearing up the painting, but this was only the consciousness of the Black Snake.
In this land, as long as there are people who believe in the Black Snake and identify with and recognize his ideas and concepts, no one can say with certainty that he will not appear again.
However, there is one thing that Griseo is very sure of, that is... whether to continue to seal or tear up the painting, at least he will not come out to cause trouble again in the short term.
With the development during this period of time, she believes that Talulah will become a good leader, will grow up, and then change the country.
"So, how does Talulah want to deal with this painting?" Griseo raised her head slightly and looked at Talulah and asked.
After the little loli asked this question, Alina slowly moved her eyes to her best friend, waiting for her answer.
"How to deal with it? Isn't it locked in?"
Talulah was suddenly asked this question, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion.
Obviously, at this moment, Talulah didn't know that she could tear up the painting to get rid of the sealed things inside, because a little loli completely forgot to say it...
"Well, Talulah can tear up or burn the painting directly, and then the sealed things inside the painting will be destroyed along with it."
Hearing this, Griseo blinked her big violet eyes gently, and then explained in a calm tone.
"He is really special... Although all of His consciousness is sealed inside, no one can guarantee that He will not come back. Unless..."
When Griseo said this, Talulah's eyes first flashed a flash of surprise, and then took over the conversation and said: "Unless, let Ursus change and let people awaken."
"At that time, Ursus will kill Him, and the awakened people will also throw away the ignorant rulers fiercely."
At this point, Talulah's tone became powerful, and her eyes were filled with unparalleled firmness and sharpness.
The strength and determination, awareness and thoughts at this moment are all the result of Talulah's growth through blood and sacrifice in the dream of the painting...
This time, she will not repeat the same mistakes. She will firmly lead everyone to keep going and change this "corrupted" country.
"..."
Listening to Talulah's words and feeling her determination and will, Griseo did not say anything, but just quietly watched the draco who seemed to be shining at this moment.
Alyona, who was standing aside, also raised the corners of her lips at some point, bloomed a gentle smile, and a trace of relief flashed in her eyes.
As for Alyona, she was still eating quietly at this moment... Although she heard everyone's conversation, she did not speak from beginning to end, and did not want to speak.
Although she had suffered hardships and was despised and unfair because of her identity as an infected person, what Talulah said and the goal of Reunion were still too far away for her as a child.
Alyona did not think so much, she just wanted and planned to follow the actions of Griseo she had already identified. Just like the "deal" or agreement they had ar the beginning.
"So, how will Talulah deal with it?"
After waiting for a while, seeing that Talulah had calmed down, Griseo asked again in a low voice.
The little girl has been curious about how Talulah will deal with the Black Snake for a long time. She wants to know whether the Draco will temporarily let the Black Snake go and put the painting away.
Or tear it up and let the Black Snake consciousness sealed in the painting dissipate directly.
However, these two methods are not much different for Griseo.
After all, even if Talulah did not destroy the painting, the consciousness of the Black Snake in the painting would never come out unless the little girl took the initiative to let it go.
"Destroy it, there is no use keeping this rotten painting, right?"
As she said, Talulah picked up the painting on her lap, and after examining it, a blazing flame burst out of her hand and devoured the painting.
After hearing Talulah's answer, there was no change on Griseo's face. She said calmly without any surprise: "Well, as long as Talulah is happy."
Then, under the gaze of the four people... this beautiful and decayed painting gradually burned under the licking of the flames.
Just as it burned to the eyes of the Black Snake in the painting, a cold voice suddenly exploded in the ears of several people.
"I was tricked..."
"But, even if it is like this, it doesn't matter. The Deathless Snake can't be killed. As long as there are still people who agree with my ideals, I will come back one day!"
Then, the Black Snake's voice fell...
The painting in Talulah's hand just burned out, turned into ashes, and was blown away by the cold wind.
"..."
After Griseo heard the sudden harsh words of the Black Snake, there was still no expression on her face, but a strange flash in her eyes.
To be honest, the little loli really didn't expect... the Black Snake could still make a harsh statement at the last moment.
Should I say that he is worthy of it?
Talulah looked at the ashes in her hand, and only after they disappeared without a trace in the cold wind did she retract her gaze.
Then she stood up solemnly, gently hugged Griseo who was sitting beside her, and then said softly:
"...Really, thank you so much."
Facing Talulah's hug, Griseo did not dodge at all, just let her hug her.
Then the little Lolita felt the "hot" color of the dragon girl a little, and then said seriously: "Then... Talulah must do what she said."
"Of course, believe me, I will do it!"
"Yes."
...
Finally, when the people around the bonfire were about to disperse, Talulah and Alina were about to go to work, and then they realized that they seemed to have forgotten something...
Before, because of the Black Snake incident, neither of them forgot to ask Griseo about her sister Sakura. At this moment, the two little guys have left here and returned...
"It's bad... We seem to have forgotten to ask about Miss Sakura." A trace of helplessness flashed across Alina's face, and then she looked at Talulah and said.
"It's okay, the little guy won't run away, you can ask again at noon." Hearing this, Talulah shook her head gently and said to her best friend with a smile.
It can be seen that the Draco is in a very good mood at the moment, and the tail behind her is also shaking slightly.
"Hehe~ That's right, let's go." Alina looked at Talulah who was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing.
"Yeah."
...
"..."
"Did you forget something?"
Alyona tilted her head slightly, looking at Griseo who suddenly stopped thinking about something, and said softly.
Hearing this, Griseo gently nodded her head and explained in a low voice: "Well... but it's not very important. Let's go back quickly. It's still quite cold outside."
Like the two people at the campfire, the little Lolita also remembered Sakura's matter after a while...
But because this matter is not a big deal, it's just that small, so although both sides remembered it, they are very tacitly and no one is looking for each other now.
"Okay."
After looking at Griseo a few more times and confirming that she is indeed fine, Alyona nodded. Then she let the little Lolita hold her hand and continued to walk forward.
