After lunch today, for the first time in a long time, Griseo did not choose to take a nap. Instead, she decided to continue painting.
The reason was very simple: she didn't want to go without Alina, and she wasn't very sleepy. So, the little girl chose to stay with everyone.
"Hmm..."
Griseo, sitting on a small stool, stared blankly at the blank drawing paper in front of her, lost in thought.
The little girl was now wondering when W would come to find her and whether she needed to create an opportunity for her or something.
What do you mean W might not come?
That's impossible, absolutely impossible. Regarding Theresia's affairs, Griseo didn't believe W wouldn't come to find her.
Even if it was exaggerated, even if the painting drawn by the little girl had no special effect, she believed that just based on that painting, the figure of Theresia in that painting... someone would definitely come to find her.
However, Griseo really didn't know exactly when W would come to find her. But she guessed that W should avoid Tallulah and come to her secretly.
After all, W is not stupid. There are some things that others may not know, but Griseo knows very well. W's madness has always been shallow. Under this mask called madness, she is extremely calm.
She knows what she wants to do, how to do it, and what her purpose is better than anyone else, and she can calculate better than anyone else.
It is because of knowing these things that Griseo is considering whether to create an opportunity for W to be alone with her...
After all, although the little girl is not afraid of W, she will feel uncomfortable if she is always remembered by others...
And coupled with the possible pranks and bad tastes of someone later, Griseo thinks it's better to solve it and end it early.
"..."
After having an idea, Griseo gently narrowed her big violet eyes that were shining with brilliance.
As for whether W can seize this opportunity, it is not within the scope of the little girl's consideration at present. As the one being thought of now, she still trusts W very much in such a small matter.

By the campfire——
"...!"
As time passed, Mudrock, who was "immersed" in the painting, suddenly awakened like she woke up from a dream. She leaned back slightly, and a light of surprise flashed in her scarlet eyes.
"Huh——"
After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Mudrock began to try to calm down her current emotions.
"What's wrong, Mudrock? Why do you look scared by the painting?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Although it is good, is it really that scary?"
"And you were so fascinated just now that you stared at this painting for such a long time."
After noticing Mudrock's abnormality, the mercenaries around her started to tease her.
"Nothing..."
Faced with the teasing of the others, Mudrock just shook her head gently and did not explain anything.
Not to mention that this is a special situation, she herself has not figured it out yet. Besides, she is not a talkative person and generally does not like to explain anything.
The mercenaries around her were already accustomed to Mudrock's attitude and just spread their hands helplessly and continued to do their own things.
Mudrock herself lowered her head again, observing the painting in her arms, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Because of what Griseo mentioned and her own intuition, she can be very sure at this moment that what she just saw and experienced was not a dream, but the influence of the painting in front of her.
Thinking of the series of things she just experienced, Mudrock looked up and glanced at the familiar faces of her teammates around her, and then frowned slightly...
She felt that she had to go find her new friend later.
————————————————————
In the afternoon, in addition to painting and practicing, Griseo has been thinking about how to create an opportunity for W.
At this moment, just when she had finished a painting and put down her brush to stand up...
Griseo paused slightly, as if she felt something, and then took something out of the space.
"Hmm?"
Looking at the clay doll she had taken out, which looked nothing special, a hint of doubt appeared in Griseo's eyes.
Just now, the little girl vaguely felt through the space that the clay doll given by Mudrock had some small movements. But when she took it out and looked at it carefully, she couldn't feel it.
Suddenly, Griseo had a flash of inspiration, as if she thought of something, and slowly covered herself with the color of Mudrock.
At this time, she lowered her head again and looked at the little clay doll in her hand. As expected, she clearly saw a faint brown light.
And at this moment, a familiar voice that no one else could hear suddenly reached Griseo's ears through the resonance of the energy on the clay doll.
"It looks like it succeeded... Well, I'm a little presumptuous, Griseo."
"Sister Mudrock?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Griseo was slightly stunned, and her big violet eyes were full of doubts.
Obviously, although the little girl noticed the movement of the clay doll, she never expected to hear Mudrock's voice.
"It's me... I saw a lot of things through your paintings, and I want to find you. But in order not to be presumptuous, I will contact you in this way first."
Just when Griseo was confused, Mudrock's voice continued to transmit.
"Well, it's okay... If there is a problem, then I will come to find you, Sister Mudrock." After listening to Mudrock's explanation, Griseo's big eyes flashed slightly, and then she said quickly.
Originally, the little girl was still thinking about how to find a reasonable excuse to create an opportunity for W. Now she is really sleepy, and the opportunity has directly come to her.
"But..."
"It's okay, I'll go over there directly. Sister Mudrock, don't run around."
"Okay then... Be safe."
Since she couldn't do anything, Mudrock had to compromise and warned her.
"Yeah."
Then as the call between the two ended, the light on the clay doll gradually disappeared until it returned to calm.
"Little Griseo, what were you mumbling about just now?" At this moment, Alina, who was sitting not far away and helping to prepare dinner, asked curiously.
"Sister Alina, I'm going out for a while... I'll be back in a while?"
