I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

"..."

After Andrei finished speaking, the three people present fell into an eerie silence, with Alina having the strangest expression.

After all, she was arguably the first person to have met Gretsch's companions and been protected.

Although Alina didn't know which tyrant Andrei was referring to, she guessed that he was someone similar to Mr. Gretsch.

It was at this moment that she realized she had underestimated the little one. Seriously underestimated him...

"Blitzkrieg..."

"Phew, let's discuss how to proceed to meet Yelena."

After letting out another breath, Talulah spread out the map on the table and began to change the subject.

“Hmm…I think…if we’re going to meet Yelena…we should…go this way…”

……

Clearly, Talulah successfully shifted the topic, and everyone quickly turned their attention to the map.

"..."

After catching up with the warehouse, Gretchen turned around and closed the door, shutting out any outside prying eyes and unwanted attention.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so flustered?"

Although Gretchen's expression remained unchanged, Lois and the others could still see the slight panic in her.

"Well……"

Hearing her friends' voices and seeing their concerned looks, Gretchen gradually relaxed and slowly walked over to them.

Then, he threw himself into Alyona's arms without saying a word.

"?"

This made the people present even more confused.

Alyona reached out and gently patted Gretsch's back, offering silent comfort.

……

"Are you alright? Did something happen?"

After comforting her for a while, seeing that Gretsch still didn't react, Alyona asked softly in her hoarse voice.

This was the first time Alyona had seen Gretsch like this, which made her wonder if the person in her arms had suffered some injustice outside.

At the same time, she began to feel a little guilty... If she had known things would turn out this way, she would have followed them earlier.

Although Alyona knew she was weak, she could still stand in front of Gretsch in some minor matters.

"I'm fine..."

However, to everyone's surprise, when Gretchen raised her head again, her entire demeanor had changed dramatically. Her once bright violet eyes had become somewhat dim, filled with complex emotions.

P.S.: I've noticed a small issue. How should I put it? I haven't played either of these games for a while now. I can look up the major settings and other things, but I really can't find the smaller details. Please feel free to point out any minor issues, and I'll correct them.

Of course, if anyone makes any rude remarks, don't blame me for my short temper.

Let's urge them on.

I'll open a new portal; I refuse to believe it.

Chapter 47 Drawings and Exploration Results

"I'm fine..."

However, to everyone's surprise, when Gretchen raised her head again, her entire demeanor had changed dramatically. Her once bright violet eyes had become somewhat dim, filled with complex emotions.

"?"

The three people, who were already somewhat worried about Gretchen, were completely taken aback by the little girl's sudden change.

Something's not right... All three of them felt something was off about this.

"Um, Gretchen, are you really alright?"

"

After swallowing, Lois asked in a low, uncertain voice.

"Me? Nothing's wrong... Don't worry about me." Hearing this, Gretchen raised her head and looked at Lois with her eyes, which were filled with complex emotions, and said softly.

"Who is little Gretsch imitating this time?"

Leos, who was standing to the side, seemed to remember something and said somewhat uncertainly.

Upon hearing this, Lois remembered, narrowed her eyes, and asked curiously, "By the way, imitation... So, who is little Gretsch imitating?"

"I don't know... Maybe it ran into someone outside. And we still haven't figured out the conditions for the little guy to imitate humans." Leos shook his head slightly as he spoke.

"What should we do? This is clearly not normal."

"Let's wait and see, what other options do we have..."

"..."

While the two Yetis were discussing Gretchen's situation, Alyona remained silent, staring blankly at the little girl in her arms who gave her a strange yet familiar feeling.

"What...is wrong? Alyona, don't worry about me. Or is it that you want something from me...?"

After she finished speaking, Gretchen lowered her head and looked directly into the eyes of the girl who was holding her, her large, complicated eyes filled with confusion, and said softly.

Finally, upon meeting Gretsch's eyes and seeing the emotions within them... Alyona realized what was happening and asked somewhat uncertainly, "...Gretsch...are you imitating me?"

"?"

Upon hearing Alyona's words, Gretsch's eyes flashed with confusion, but she did not answer her question.

The two yetis, who had been having a heated discussion, turned their attention to the commotion.

After careful observation, Lois revealed a knowing look, and then said softly, "So that's it, the little guy is imitating Alyona... You scared me, I thought he was imitating some bad person."

"But to be honest, I'm even more curious. What exactly is the standard by which little Gretsch imitates someone? Touch? That doesn't make sense. The little one hasn't touched her father. That's strange."

Leos stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"..."

After that, Gretchen stopped talking and buried her little head in Alyona's arms again.

:每'.日 更;新.'新:壹!小'说?群!.5;4":3;6':;5,9,",3,8!:.9;

Seeing the little girl like this, Alyona's face flashed with helplessness, and then she gently patted the girl's back again.

"Well……"

After a while, once the paint had faded off her clothes, Gretchen raised her head again and looked at Alyona, saying, "Your colors are beautiful... May I use them to paint?"

"can."

Without even thinking, Alyona nodded and agreed.

Although Alyona still hasn't figured out what color Gretsch was talking about, she had already agreed beforehand, and she's not one to go back on her word.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Gretchen stepped out of the girl's embrace, stood up, and walked to the side.

As usual, I took out my easel, paper, paints and other tools... and began to paint, immersing myself in the process.

After the painting was finished, Gretchen still intended to give it to the person who provided the colors. It was a way of expressing her gratitude, and a way of helping her escape those murky colors.

If it were the real "Gresch," she certainly wouldn't dislike or care about being tainted with that color, but Gresch herself was indeed somewhat bothered by it...

She could allow herself to voluntarily come into contact with those murky colors for certain reasons, but she didn't want to be passively tainted by them.

After Gretsch began to paint, Alyona stood up and walked over to watch. It was the first time she had ever seen someone paint so formally in front of her.

At the same time, she also began to wonder what kind of picture the little girl would draw with her own "colors"...

Lois and the other two were no exception, both casting curious glances as they observed Gretsch's painting.

Integrated sports camps —

“Now that we’ve decided on the route and plan, let’s get started. The faster we act, the lower the risk.” After finalizing the plan, Talulah stood up and looked at the others with a serious expression.

"Hmm, I... will go organize... the manpower."

After giving a slight nod, Patriot stood up and walked out of the tent.

"I'll go and get ready too."

After nodding to Talulah and the other person, Andrei followed his father out of the tent.

……

After watching the two leave the tent, Talulah turned to look at her best friend beside her and muttered softly, "I want to go too."

"It seems there's no chance this time. Patriot has decided to go and bring Yelena and the others back himself. Besides, someone has to stay in the camp to protect the others, right?"

Seeing Talulah's expression, Alina couldn't help but chuckle, then continued, "Alright, you should go and persuade her too."

"Okay, let's go."

After giving Alina a helpless smile, Talulah also walked outside.

The moment she left the tent, the Dragon Girl wiped the smile from her eyes and reverted to the demeanor and poise of a leader.

"..."

Upon noticing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Alina's eyes.

Then he helped Talulah tidy up the things on the table.

……

"It's starting to snow again..."

Sakura stopped in her tracks, raised her hand to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, and said softly.

After a period of reconnaissance, and with the intelligence from Gretchen's side, she was now almost certain that the enemy had not yet arrived... or more accurately, had not yet entered the vast forest.

If she had entered, it would have been impossible for Sakura not to have noticed.
