"I remember very clearly just now, little guy, you touched my head. Anyway, you have to let me touch you back~"
As W's soft voice fell, her hand suddenly used some force to mess up Griseo's originally smooth hair. The painter's cap also slowly slid to the ground.
"Ugh! My hat..."
After noticing that the hat had slipped, Griseo subconsciously reached out to cover her little head.
"Haha..."
Compared to the past, W was much more measured this time. After messing up the little guy's hair, she quickly let her go and even moved a little further away.
"..."
Then, before Griseo went to pick up her hat, the azure knight appeared first and bent down to pick up the painter's cap from the ground.
The sudden appearance of the knight made the three people present slightly stunned. Especially Ines and Hedley, who were standing far away; when they saw the azure knight, their first reaction was to think that W was going to be beaten...
Even W herself thought so... She had already started planning her escape route in her mind. Although she knew she would not be beaten to death, no one wanted to be beaten...
"..."
However, completely different from what they thought, the azure knight did not even give them a glance after he appeared. After picking up the small hat from the ground, the knight put it away directly.
Then, he slowly moved to the side of Griseo and, like a magician, elegantly took out a small round stool for his little princess to sit down.
The azure knight then took out a delicate little comb and began to comb his princess's messy hair.
"Um... Mr. Knight, Sorry for troubling you."
Unlike the nervousness of others, Griseo was very calm from beginning to end, and it could even be said that she was used to it.
After all, the little girl knew Mr. Knight too well as a partner and had been taken care of by him for some time.
"..."
Finally, under the suspicious eyes of several mercenaries, the azure knight quietly combed the hair of his little princess and put on a cute and clean painter's hat again.
After doing all this, Mr. Knight did not go back immediately. Instead, he warned W fiercely with his eyes and momentum in a place where Griseo could not see, and then disappeared into the air.
If it were not for the fear of affecting his little princess's plan and if he was in a good mood, the knight and several other partners would have arranged a meal for W.
"Thank you, Mr. Knight..."
"..."
W, who received the knight's warning, was looking at Griseo's neat and smooth hair with a weird look. Obviously, she did not expect that a big figure like the knight would do such a small thing... and it seemed that he still had his own thoughts.
"Hmm? W can't mess up my hair again..."
Perhaps because W's gaze was too intense, Griseo covered her head again, preventing her from messing up her hair again out of frustration.
"Don't worry, I won't do it again."
Looking at Griseo's cute and innocent appearance, W's mouth twitched slightly, and then she said helplessly.
To be honest, W began to regret what she had done before... She found that she shouldn't have been so naive!
If she had pretended to be normal before, she might have fooled this innocent and gullible little guy in front of her.
However, W felt that it was not too late now. Although there was an unknown existence paying attention, she felt that she might still be able to guide the little guy...
"Heh~"
Thinking so, W glanced at Griseo quietly with a "bad intention" look.
"Aqiu--)?"
After hearing W's previous answer, Griseo, who had just relaxed for a while, suddenly sneezed. Then, she looked around with some confusion.
After a final look, the little girl did not find anything unusual, so she had to treat this little episode as someone else thinking about her. After all, it was impossible that she was being targeted by something dirty...
...
Finally, Griseo chatted with Ines, Hedley, and others again, rejected W's request for a painting, and then finally left.
There are two reasons why the little girl rejected W's request. One is that she doesn't like to give gifts to people who don't cherish them, and the other is that W's current color is no different from before, and she doesn't want to paint something similar to the previous one.
However, although she refused, Griseo still left a promise.
After all, you still have to leave people with some hope and can't extinguish it all at once. The little girl told W that when she grows and changes next time, she will paint a brand new painting for her.
Although the process of looking for W this time was not very pleasant, the result was satisfactory to Griseo. Although someone still looked very naughty, they had restrained themselves a lot compared to before... at least in front of her now.
After leaving W, Griseo was not in a hurry to go back. Although she had just been tossed around, it was still early...
So she planned to go to Mudrock again, and she decided to leave the painting to herself in the afternoon. Besides, Griseo also knew that Mudrock had always been a little worried about her going to look for W. So now it was just right to go over and report that she was safe.
In this way, Griseo had been "hanging out" outside until almost noon, when everyone was going back to eat... and then she trotted back all the way.
Today, she solved the big worry of W in one go, and with the unlocking progress of Senti at 32% and Hua at 51%, the little girl was very happy. Although the expression on her face remained unchanged, the happiness in her bright eyes could not be hidden at all.
During lunch, everyone noticed this and teased her in a friendly manner.
After lunch, Griseo followed her own plan and went to paint with Yelena's color.
