Finally, although Griseo was reluctant, she still planned to leave when it was almost time for dinner. This time, because she would be "forced" to contact W later, the little girl did not plan to let Mudrock send her back.
However, Griseo's decision did not mean Mudrock did not want to. Almost as soon as the little girl proposed to leave, Mudrock immediately took over and planned to send her back personally.
After all, considering what happened when Griseo came, for the safety of the little one, so she would not be bullied... Mudrock still planned to take this trip.
Afterwards, facing the stubborn Sarkaz girl, Griseo no longer refused and nodded in agreement. Then, she was so obedient that she was taken back by the hand of Mudrock, who put on the protective suit again.
...
"Haven't they come back yet? It's getting late..."
At this moment, Yelena, who had been back at the campfire for a while, frowned slightly and asked Alina.
"It's really late. I'll go pick up little Griseo." Hearing this, Alina looked up at the sky and nodded gently. After that, she stood up and planned to leave.
"I'll go with you."
Seeing her best friend's actions, Talulah also stood up slowly, showing a helpless smile, and planned to follow.
However, at this moment, two figures appeared not far away, causing the two people who were about to move to pause slightly.
"It seems there is no need to look for them this time." Looking at the two figures, one big and one small, not far away, Alina said with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
However, no matter how many times Talulah saw Mudrock like this, she could not imagine that she was a girl... and a very beautiful girl in Griseo's words.
"...?"
Talulah and the others' reactions were completely different from Alina's.
They all looked at Mudrock with confusion and surprise. Obviously, neither Talulah, Yelena, nor the Yetis thought that the new friend of Griseo mentioned by Alina would be a Sarkaz mercenary.
Even the Patriot, who was sitting quietly eating dinner beside them, had a flash of red in his eyes.
"I sent Griseo back and didn't let her get hurt." Mudrock didn't care about the eyes of others but took Griseo to Alina and said softly.
"Well, thank you, Miss Mudrock, for taking care of little Griseo this afternoon." Hearing this, Alina nodded gently to Mudrock.
Then, she opened her arms to a little loli, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Sister Alina."
And Griseo also cooperated very well, gently released Mudrock's hand, and then threw herself into Alina's arms.
"Welcome back, little Griseo."
"Hmm..."
Looking at the interaction between the two people in front of her, Mudrock shook her head gently and continued: "No, it was Griseo who helped me a lot this afternoon. But since she has been sent back, I will go back first."
After saying that, Mudrock did not give others time to retain her, and she turned around and left directly.
"Goodbye, Miss Mudrock."
"Sister Mudrock, see you next time..."
Seeing this scene, neither Griseo nor Alina could say anything; they could only stare at the tall figure and watch her leave helplessly.
"Hmm, goodbye."
——————————————————
By the campfire——
"Alina, you didn't tell me at all that the little guy's new friend was actually a Sarkaz." After sitting down again, Talulah looked at her best friend and complained a little unhappily.
After listening to Talulah's words, the rest of the people present who were also unaware of the situation turned their eyes to Alina and Griseo.
After all, they were also very curious.
"If I told you, you would have rushed over to bring Griseo back." At this point, Alina's eyes also showed a hint of helplessness.
Although Talulah didn't trust Mudrock much after only meeting once, she still trusted Griseo more.
Since her little one took the initiative to contact others, she would naturally help to provide some small cover.
Of course, Alina still didn't trust the Sarkaz.
Because if it was something that endangered Griseo's safety or mental health, she would definitely stand on Talulah's side without hesitation.
"Well... Talulah, don't worry, Sister Mudrock treats me very well. And her color is also very beautiful." Hearing the conversation between Talulah and the others, Griseo naturally took over the conversation.
"Really? You didn't tell me about your new friend, and only told Alina." After listening to Griseo's explanation, Talulah rubbed her furry head in "revenge" and said helplessly.
"Hmm... ꒪꒫꒪)?"
Hearing this, Griseo covered her messy head and looked at Talulah in confusion.
Obviously, the little loli didn't expect the draco's focus to be here.
"Why, are you curious why I didn't bother with you?" Looking at Griseo's cute appearance, Talulah's eyes flashed with cunning, and she said: "Of course it's because I trust you, little one. And I have discovered that you are generally quite accurate in judging people by color, and at least you have your merits."
At this point, the draco paused, and then showed a "gentle" smile. "But, since we have become friends, next time, call your sister Mudrock over to have a meal with us and exchange greetings."
At this moment, after hearing what Talulah meant, the Yetis looked at each other and agreed.
"Yes, yes, little Griseo, you have finally made a new friend, we should get to know each other."
"That's right, your sister Mudrock...? Sister!?"
"Wait, that big guy is a woman?"
...
Watching Talulah who finally revealed her purpose after saying a lot of words, and the Yetis who realized the gender of Mudrock belatedly, a smile and helplessness flashed in Griseo's big violet eyes.
"Okay, if Sister Mudrock agrees..."
Although the little loli saw everyone's "purpose," she was not opposed to such things that could really promote the relationship between the two sides. On the contrary, she was more supportive...
And if friendship is really promoted, it will be a good thing for both parties. After all, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
