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

However, it is clear that Alina knows how to grasp keywords.

"Because that way the color will be more deep."

Alina had initially thought someone else had hugged her Gretchen, but now she realized it was her own child who had done it on her own initiative.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say, so I could only helplessly advise, "You should be more careful. But even if you want to hug someone, you can only do it to a girl."

"If any boy or man tries to hug you, remember to summon your Knight. Understand?"

"Oh, I see."

"Alright, let's go back quickly. Talulah and the others must have been waiting for a long time."

"it is good……"

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

After a quick lunch—

Sitting by the campfire, Ni Yan, having removed his upper combat uniform, was carefully and slowly unwrapping a special gift that was wrapped very tightly in his hands.

Meanwhile, her comrades and teammates sitting not far away quietly moved closer to watch the scene.

Finally, Mudrock carefully lifted the canvas, revealing a beautiful and exquisite painting to her and the other voyeurs.

In the painting, a huge, solid demonic figure stands on a high ground made of rocks and mud, raising its weapon and silently howling, as if calling out or intimidating the enemy in front of it.

Behind her, many people followed her and her silhouette, never retreating a single step.

……

"Who drew this picture? It's amazing!"

"He's inexplicably handsome."

"That's impressive, but what does that mean...?"

While those around him were discussing the painting, Mudstone remained head down, silently gazing at it...

P.S.: Since it's a holiday today, let's not be so lax with subscriptions, let's get going!

Give it a push.

Chapter 94 The Connection with Mudstone

!;'

After lunch today, Gretchen, unusually, didn't take a nap but chose to continue drawing.

The reason... is simple: she didn't want to go without Alyona, and she wasn't very sleepy either. So the little girl chose to stay with everyone.

"Well……"

At this moment, Gretchen sat on a small stool, staring blankly at the blank drawing paper in front of her, lost in thought.

The little girl was currently calculating in her mind when W would likely come looking for her, and whether she should create an opportunity for her.

What? You're saying you might not come?

Impossible, absolutely impossible. Gretchen didn't believe W would come looking for her about Theresa.

To put it dramatically, even if the little girl's drawing had no special effect, she believed that just because of that drawing, and the figure of Theresa in that drawing... someone would definitely come looking for her.

However, Greta didn't know exactly when they would come to find her. But she guessed that they would probably come secretly, away from Talulah and the others.

After all, W isn't stupid.

Moreover, there are some things that others may not know, but Greta knows them perfectly well.

W's madness was always just on the surface; beneath that mask of madness, she was extremely calm.

She knows better than anyone what she wants to do, how she wants to do it, and what her purpose is; she is also better at calculating than anyone else.

Knowing all this, Gretchen considered whether she should create an opportunity for that guy to be alone with her...

After all, even though the little girl isn't afraid of W, it still makes her a little uncomfortable to be constantly being targeted...

Furthermore, considering the possibility of someone playing pranks or having other bad tastes later on, Gretchen felt it was best to resolve things sooner rather than later and end it quickly.

"..."

After having an idea, Gretchen narrowed her bright, violet eyes slightly.

Whether W can seize this opportunity is not currently on the little girl's mind. As the one currently being eyed, she still trusts W completely in this small matter.

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

By the campfire—

"...!"

As time passed, Niyan, "immersed" in the painting, seemed to be suddenly awakened from a dream, his body leaning back slightly, and his scarlet eyes flashing with a surprised and uncertain light.

"call--"

After exhaling a breath of stale air, Niyan began to try to calm himself down.

"What's wrong, Mudstone? Why do you look so frightened by the painting?"

"Yeah, so what? That's true, but is it really that scary?"

"And you were so engrossed in it just now, staring at the painting for such a long time."

After noticing the unusual mudstone, the surrounding mercenaries began to tease it.

"nothing……"

Faced with the teasing from the other people, Niyan simply shook his head and did not explain anything.

Putting aside the fact that this is a special situation, she herself hasn't figured it out yet. Furthermore, she's not a talkative person and generally doesn't like to explain anything.

The mercenaries around Mudrock were already used to his attitude; they simply shrugged helplessly and went back to doing their own thing.

Mudstone lowered his head again, examining the painting in his arms with a complex expression.

Because of Gretchen's mention and her own intuition, she was now absolutely certain that what she had just seen and experienced was not a dream, but rather the result of the painting before her.

Thinking about the series of events that had just occurred, Mudrock looked up and glanced at his familiar teammates around him, then frowned slightly...

She felt she should visit her new friend later.

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

In the afternoon, besides practicing her drawing, Gretchen spent her time thinking about how to create an opportunity for W.

At that moment, just as she finished painting a picture, put down her brush, and was about to stand up...

Gretchen paused slightly, as if sensing something, and then took something out of her spatial storage.

"Ok?"

Looking at the unremarkable clay doll she had taken out, Gretsch's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

Just now, the little girl vaguely sensed through the space that the clay doll given to her by Mudrock was making some small movements. But when she took it out to examine it closely, she could no longer sense anything.

Suddenly, Gretchen had a flash of inspiration, as if she had thought of something, and slowly covered herself with the color of mudstone.

At this moment, she looked down at the small clay figurine in her hand again. Sure enough, she could clearly see a faint brown light.

Just then, a familiar voice, inaudible to others, suddenly reached Gretsch's ears through the resonance of energy within the clay doll.

!;

"Looks like it worked... Well, I apologize for being so presumptuous, Gretchen."

"???) Sister Mudstone?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Gretchen was slightly taken aback, her large violet eyes filled with confusion.

Clearly, the little girl noticed the clay doll's unusual movements, but she never expected to hear the mud rock's voice.

"It's me... I saw a lot in your paintings, and I wanted to come find you. But to avoid being presumptuous, I'm contacting you this way first."

Just as Gretchen was confused, Mudrock's voice continued to carry over.

"Hmm, it's alright... Since there's a problem, I'll go find you, Sister Mudrock." After hearing Mudrock's explanation, Gretchen's big eyes flashed slightly, and she quickly said.

The little girl had been trying to figure out how to find a reasonable excuse to create that opportunity for W. Now, she was really sleepy, so she was given a little pillow instead.

"But……"

#;'

"It's okay, I'll go straight there. Sister Mudrock, don't wander off."

"Alright then... Be careful."

Having no other choice, Mudrock reluctantly compromised and offered some advice.

"Ah."

Then, as the two ended their call, the light on the clay figure gradually disappeared until it returned to calm.

"Little Gretchen, what were you muttering about just now?" Just then, Alina, who was sitting not far away and helping to prepare dinner, asked curiously.

"Sister Alina, I need to go out for a bit... Can I be right back?"

P.S.: I saw some people are still asking about the group. Because of some issues, the previous group was disbanded. I'll see if I should create a new one after my exams. However, to prevent a repeat of last time, I might create a full subscription group this time, and of course, I'll add some bonus chapters to the group.

Give it a push.

Chapter 95 Entrapment Enforcement and Its Outcome

Finally, Gretchen, relying on her cuteness and the fact that she was going to find mudstone again, managed to slip away alone after some bargaining with Alina.

……

"Ah wu..."

Greta, walking towards the mudstone, gently covered her mouth and yawned, a few tears welling up in her large violet eyes.

Even though I wasn't very sleepy before, around four or five in the afternoon, I eventually started to feel sleepy.

After yawning, Gretchen started walking again with her small steps.

And in this operation, the little girl was determined from the very beginning to...

She slowed down slightly. As for why she did this, it was, of course, on purpose.
