"Hmm..."
With a murmur from Griseo, a brown color invisible to others emerged and gently attached to her body.
With the appearance of this color, the temperament of the little girl began to change rapidly, from innocent to calm. At this moment, she was once again stained with the color of Mudrock.
Then, Griseo silently began to mix colors and write.
Today Alina gave the children a holiday, and also gave herself a holiday. She planned to spend the day accompanying Griseo.
So she had been with the little girl since breakfast.
After noticing the change in Griseo's temperament, Alina's expression became thoughtful. A gleam of light flashed in her beautiful blue eyes.
...
"Sister Alina, I'm going to leave for a while and will be back soon..."
After putting down the brush in her hand, Griseo turned her head to look at Alina sitting next to her and said softly.
"Little Griseo is going to give this painting to her owner?"
Listening to Griseo's words, Alina smiled knowingly and asked gently.
Early on, when the little girl began to paint with other people's colors, Alina knew that this painting had an owner. Just like the one she and Talulah kept.
"How did Sister Alina know?"
Griseo was stunned when she heard this, and a hint of doubt appeared in her big violet eyes.
"Well, of course it's because of my understanding of you." Alina smiled and reached out to gently rub Griseo's little head.
"However, today is special. So can you let your sister go with you to see your new friend?"
Hearing Alina's gentle words, Griseo was slightly stunned, then gently nodded her head and said: "Okay... Sister Mudrock is a very good person."
Although Griseo was a little surprised by Alina's guess and gentle attitude, she still nodded and agreed without thinking.
Because the little Loli knew that Alina was caring about her. What's more, she would be very happy if someone was with her.
And, if necessary, having someone to accompany her can also reduce the influence of other colors on her.
"Really? Then I have to get to know her well."
Looking at Griseo who agreed without thinking, Alina's eyes flashed with helplessness, and she gently touched her little head again.
To be honest, Griseo nodded so quickly that Alina was a little doubtful for a moment. Was it because the child trusted her or was it because she was innocent...
Afterwards, after Griseo put away the painting, she took Alina to find Mudrock.
In fact, if it was someone else, Griseo would not agree to take Alina with her so readily; at least she would hesitate for a little while.
However, this time she was going to meet Miss Sarkaz, so the problem was not big.

By the campfire near W's tent——
"It's so boring. Do you have any potatoes? Give me two." W, who was sitting by the campfire and wiping the dagger in her hand out of boredom, looked at Hedley nonchalantly and asked.
Hedley was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said helplessly: "You are not going to carve it for fun again... Here."
"After all, there is no fun to find, right? You didn't allow me to find that little guy." While speaking, W took the potato thrown by Hedley and started to play with it.
In fact, this morning, W tried to come to find Griseo, and it can even be said that she was a little anxious.
However, because of the obstruction of Ines and Hedley, and the defense of the Yeti Squadron, Talulah, Alina, and others, her action did not succeed.
Although W can be said to be very concerned about Theresia's affairs, she now knows that she needs to be patient, at least wait until others relax their vigilance before taking action.
Otherwise, it may cause trouble at that time. She is not afraid of it, but it will involve Ines and others.
However, W will definitely not give up on this matter.
"You should be more restrained these days. They seem to know that you bullied her in private before." Hedley helplessly warned after listening to W's words.
"Yes, yes, Hedley, you are so long-winded."

On the other side——
"So, how did you know Mudrock, little Griseo?"
It was not until they entered the area where the Sarkaz mercenaries were stationed that Alina suddenly realized that the new friend her child made might be a Sarkaz mercenary.
"Well... because I saw that Mudrock's color was very beautiful before, so I remembered it. Then I went to make a friend..." Facing Alina's soul-searching questioning, Griseo hesitated for a moment, and then explained.
"Alas, sister knows that you are very strong, little Griseo, so I won't say anything, but you must protect yourself, understand? And don't believe what others say so much." Hearing this, Alina sighed softly, and then warned in a gentle voice.
Alina, who knew that Griseo was strong, was actually most worried about the little girl's safety, but was afraid that she would be deceived and used.
Because the little girl was too innocent in front of Alina and the others. So innocent that they felt that anyone could kidnap their own children.
"Don't worry, Sister Alina, I will protect myself. I won't trust others so much. Besides, not everyone's color looks good..."
After listening to Alina's instructions, Griseo agreed seriously and explained in a low voice.
"It's the same with beautiful colors. People can't be unchanging... Pay more attention."
"Okay."
Finally, the two chatted and walked, and it took a long time to reach the place where Mud Rock was stationed.
After arriving, Griseo saw Mud Rock at a glance, and then she pulled Alina over there.
...
Mudrock also noticed Griseo and the others just now, so when they came over, she stood up to greet them.
"Sister Mudrock, good morning..."
"Good morning, little Griseo, what's the matter with you this time?"
"...?"
Alina, who was standing by, looked at the big guy standing in front of her and was called "Sister Mudrock" by Griseo, and listened to the big guy's low voice. Suddenly, she fell into silence, and a big question mark slowly appeared on her head.
