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

Therefore, the Patriots were able to conduct this test because most of the personnel had already left the camp during the relocation.

The commotion from this competition did not surprise Patriots; the test site was damaged in a small area, and even more distant areas were affected.

However, this outcome, in a sense, truly overturned the Patriots' understanding of Gretchen and the unknown organization behind her.

Because the Patriots lost.

As the battle dragged on and he gradually exerted his full strength, he was still defeated by the azure-blue knight, and he could sense that the knight he was fighting still had a considerable amount of strength left.

What truly silenced Patriot was Gretchen's gentle waving of her brush, and a deep blue hue emerged, almost instantly healing the knight's injuries...

In the end, Gretchen earned the Patriots' approval through her (?) strength in this battle.

At the same time, it also allows patriots and others to have a deeper understanding of the little loli and Sakura, rather than just hearing others talk about them or having a superficial understanding.

……

After this little incident, Gretchen followed Patriot directly to the new Reunion camp, and life returned to normal.

Although life was peaceful, the little girl hadn't forgotten about the mercenaries, and she quietly waited for their arrival.

Although Gretchen is somewhat reluctant to approach W, if approaching her could unlock the Herrscher of Consciousness... I guess the little loli will have to bite the bullet and go for it when the time comes.

----------------------

It was another early morning, and the thin sunlight pierced through the clouds, adding a touch of warmth to this cold snowfield.

Gretchen woke up naturally at the same time as usual in the morning. After waiting for Alyona for a while, the two of them washed up together before leaving the tent and having breakfast as usual.

To be honest, if Gretsch was still in a daze before stepping out of the tent, then after facing the cold wind blowing in her face... she was completely...

Everyone was perfectly clear-headed.

The two didn't walk far before arriving at the campfire. They then skillfully located Talulah and the others and sat down with them.

Good morning, Gretchen and Alyona.

"Morning~"

"You two, you're up really early!"

……

Good morning, everyone…

Faced with the greetings from the group, Gretchen blinked her large violet eyes and responded.

Alyona, sitting next to her, was even more concise, uttering no superfluous words. After a slight nod to the person who greeted her, she softly said, "Good morning, everyone..."

However, they've gotten to know each other well over the past few days. Both Talulah and the Yetis have long been used to Alyona's aloof personality and don't care at all.

Because they discovered that the little polar bear that Greta had rescued was also a good child. In fact, a very promising one…

That's right, Alyona awakened her Primal Arts when she escaped from the mine. However, she was well protected by Gretsch afterward, so she never used it again.

After learning this, Talulah, Yelena, and the Yetis all wanted to train Alyona.

However, because she is only 14 years old, and is relatively thin and her injuries have not yet healed, no one has taken action yet.

Of course, the only thing hindered by various factors was the training in martial arts. There was also someone who had already set his sights on Alyona long ago... and was now planning to make a move.

……

After the group finished their lively breakfast, Talulah's smile faded, and she looked at Gretchen with a serious expression, mentally organizing her thoughts.

There's something very important that she hasn't told the two little ones yet.

If it were just Alyona, Talulah wouldn't think much of it, but with Gretsch involved, it was a different story. She felt it was necessary to give her some proper instructions, just in case something went wrong later.

"Ok?"

Perhaps because Talulah's gaze was too serious, Gretsch quickly sensed it, then tilted her head slightly and looked back in confusion.

"Cough cough..."

Caught off guard by Gretsch's innocent gaze, Talulah coughed twice to cover her embarrassment before speaking:

"I have something to tell you both, especially you, little one. You need to keep it in mind."

"whats the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Gretchen blinked her big eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them, before she prepared herself to listen attentively.

Alyona was in a similar situation; she also looked up at Talulah and quietly awaited her answer.

The group of people around them seemed to have guessed what was going on, and they all fell silent, watching the scene unfold before them.

"The things you need to pay attention to are..."

P.S.: Yay! My 2000-chapter mini-chapter is back! Finally, I don't have to write endless long chapters anymore. Not only are there so many, but writing them is also slow, and it's even inconvenient to check and revise them.

Then there's another chapter. I'll see if I can finish it before midnight. I'll urge them to finish it.

Chapter 66 Precautions and Guests

"The thing you need to be careful about is not to wander around today. If possible, you should stay in the tent or stay with Alina."

Looking at the two adorable children in front of her, Talulah's tone softened, and she gently gave them some instructions.

"Um... Tarua, can you tell me why?"

Although she had listened to Talulah's instructions, Gretchen still had some doubts, and she also had a guess in her mind, but this guess still needed to be confirmed.

"Well... because a large number of guests are coming to the camp today, and if possible, not only today, but also at other times, you should try to avoid contact with them."

After hearing Gretchen's words, Talulah was slightly taken aback. After hesitating for a moment, she finally told him what had happened.

Although the people coming today were invited by her, they will likely join the Reunion Movement soon.

However, this did not stop Talulah from wanting Gretsch to come into contact with them, especially after learning about the little girl's characteristics.

Before finding out, she could have been more lenient with Gretchen's companions because of their strength. But after learning the truth, she decided to take strict precautions.

It wasn't just Talulah; most people shared the same thought.

After all, no one close to Gretchen, including Talulah, wanted to see a little girl forced to be tainted by bad influences and become wicked.

Of course, this wasn't discrimination against this guest or future colleague; it was mainly because... their reputations were just too great. This forced Talulah and the others to take them seriously.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if, due to negligence, your little darling were accidentally corrupted.

"Okay... I understand."

Upon hearing this, Gretchen paused for a moment, and after understanding Talulah's intention, she nodded her head gently and agreed.

;！

Talulah's answer this time almost directly confirmed the little girl's suspicion that had been surfacing in her mind since the beginning... W and the others are coming, or more accurately, the Sarkaz mercenaries are coming.

However, Gretchen understood Talu

She appreciated La's good intentions, but she still needed to find an opportunity to secretly get to know her.

She wouldn't even mention W anymore; she'd give it a try just for the sake of mudstone...

To be honest, Greta would suddenly realize at times like these that she wasn't a good girl. Because since joining the Reunion Movement, she had discovered that she seemed to have done a lot of things behind everyone's backs.

There's already quite a lot to say, both good and bad, things that can be said and things that can't be said.

However, there are many things Gretsch cannot avoid or give up... For example, if she completely ignores this time and lets the Sarkaz girl go, she doesn't know when she will see her again.

They might even be enemies the next time they meet... The little girl finds the thought terrifying.

So she's definitely going to stick to Rhodes Island!

“Alyona, you’re older than the little one, so keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t run around.”

Although Gretchen obediently agreed, Talulah still felt uneasy for some reason, so she turned to Alyona beside her and said something.

Before Alyona revealed her age, no one expected that she was actually 14 years old...

Because the girl was so thin and small, severe malnutrition not only made her emaciated, but also prevented her body from developing properly, making her look nothing like a 14-year-old.

;@

"Yeah...I will."

Upon hearing this, Alyona did not rush to agree. Instead, she first glanced at the cute little girl beside her with her light green eyes before finally agreeing.

In other matters, Little White Bear is a staunch supporter of Gretchen, but in this matter, she will still lean slightly towards Talulah and the others.

After all, Alyona was someone who knew about Gretsch's characteristics and had also witnessed how uncomfortable she was when she was affected.

Therefore, the little white bear naturally did not want its beloved companion to be tainted by unclean things due to contact with shady people.

“???)?”

The moment Gretchen heard her beloved Alyona agree, a hint of panic and confusion flashed in her large, violet eyes, and a big question mark slowly appeared on her little head.

It was as if they couldn't believe their partner's sudden "betrayal".

"..."

When Alyona noticed Gretsch's gaze directed at her, a hint of guilt flashed in her light green eyes.

Even so, she didn't soften her heart this time, even under the little girl's gaze...

"Heh~ Alright, little Gretchen, stop staring at Alyona."

;#

Seeing Gretchen's adorable expression, Alina finally couldn't help but chuckle softly, and then said gently:

"You two little ones can come with me today. It'll be a good opportunity for you to meet some new friends and learn something new together. What do you say?"

"..."

Alina's sudden remark left the two little ones stunned, especially Alina, who was mentioned by name.

"I'm fine with anything..."

After understanding what Alina meant, Alyona spoke without much hesitation.

After speaking, she turned to look at Gretchen beside her, waiting for her reply.

Alyona isn't opposed to studying or making friends, but she can hardly be described as proactive or enthusiastic about it.

"Well, I'm fine with that too."
