People are in Arknights and becoming Griseo at the beginning

Update; All chapter updates are Monday, Wend, Fri for the meantime.

Got my files sent to the shadow realm and I'm trying to recover stuff. I'd be two weeks before returning to the usual update schedule.

"Come to think of it, did we forget something?"

After chatting and discussing a solution, Tallulah seemed to remember something. She suddenly raised her head and looked around.

"...?"

Prompted by Tallulah, Alina also raised her head and looked around.

"Griseo... she's gone!"

After realizing something was missing, their expressions became a bit stiff.

Almost simultaneously, they both stood up quickly and began to look for the little blue-haired girl from their memories.

But the tent was small, and if they didn't see her at a glance, they could be sure she wasn't there.

"Little Griseo must have run off. Let's go find her," Alina said anxiously, running outside.

In Alina's view, Griseo was the child she brought back, and she wasn't infected. If Griseo got into trouble because of her negligence, Alina couldn't bear to think about it.

Obviously, Alina, in her hurry, had completely forgotten that a guardian knight was always beside the little girl...

"Don't worry too much. In the camp... there shouldn't be any big problems." Seeing her anxious friend, Tallulah felt helpless, but she also hurriedly chased after her.

"Um... ah."

Sitting by the campfire, Griseo, who had been listening to everyone's stories, suddenly yawned slowly, and a little crystal tear appeared in her big purple eyes.

"Are you sleepy?"

After noticing that the little girl next to her yawned, Yelena asked softly.

After this night's interaction, Yelena was full of affection for Griseo, a cute and well-behaved little girl who wasn't afraid of the cold. Her tone was no longer so cold.

Hearing Yelena's question, Griseo gently nodded and whispered, "A little... Usually by this time, Mother Aponia would have called me to bed."

While speaking, Griseo relaxed her body and leaned gently on Yelena's shoulder.

"Is Aponia your mother? By the way, why did you come here with Alina?"

Yelena grasped the key words and asked with a puzzled tone.

Like Tallulah before her, Yelena was very curious about the origin of this little girl who was so close to her.

Because whether it was her dress, temperament, or uniqueness, she didn't seem like a child from an ordinary family, and there were no obvious racial features.

When Yelena asked, almost everyone around quietly pricked up their ears, intending to eavesdrop.

"Mother Aponia... Mother Aponia."

"Because I had nowhere to go, I followed Sister Alina here." After thinking for a while, Griseo explained seriously to Yelena.

"What about your mother, little Griseo? Uh... Of course, if it's not convenient to say, forget it."

Lois, sitting not far away, suddenly asked curiously. However, realizing the sensitivity of the question, she quickly added another sentence.

"I don't know where Mother Aponia is. I seemed to have slept for a long time, and when I woke up again... I was in the snow, and then I met Sister Alina..."

Griseo wasn't offended by Lois's question. She just gently shook her head and explained.

"So that's it..."

Hearing this, Lois nodded gently. But just as she was about to say something...

"Okay, let's stop talking about this topic. It's getting late. I'll take you back." Yelena glanced at Griseo, who still had big, sparkling eyes, and interrupted.

"Indeed, it's getting late. It's time for good kids to go to bed."

"Yes, yes, Griseo shouldn't be like us adults. Children should go to bed early."

"See you tomorrow, cute little Griseo!"

"Well... okay then."

Listening to the advice of those around her, Griseo gently hugged Yelena's icy arm, burying her delicate face in it, and said sullenly.

Before she transmigrated, Griseo definitely wouldn't go to bed so early, but this body had long been trained by Aponia to sleep at a fixed time, so she was already feeling sleepy.

Looking at the cute little girl clinging to her, Yelena gently smiled, touched Griseo's little head, and then gently picked her up.

"...?"

Griseo, whose little head was clouded by sleepiness, hadn't expected to be picked up by Yelena.

However, Griseo didn't struggle and just let Yelena carry her back. After all, it wasn't shameful to stick together...

On the way back, Yelena bumped into Tallulah and Alina, who were out looking for Griseo. Although a bit reluctant, she returned Griseo to them.

---

Because there were no extra beds in the tent, Alina was worried about letting Griseo sleep with others. So tonight, the little girl slept with Alina.

Griseo didn't mind this arrangement. Although she felt a bit uncomfortable, she didn't want to trouble others...

After a simple wash with Alina, Griseo lay on the bed. This was the first bed she encountered in this world.

Lying on the bed, Griseo closed her eyes, pretending to sleep. But in fact, she was checking the system panel in her mind to see how much progress she had made in unlocking.

The system had disappeared after notifying her of the unlocking, so she had to check it herself.

Opening the character interface, Griseo saw Sakura, the only one among the Valkyries with unlocking progress. At this moment, Sakura's progress had reached 36%.

Satisfied with the progress, Griseo exited the panel and went to sleep for real. After experiencing so much today and with sleepiness surging, she fell asleep quickly.

Alina, who originally wanted to ask something, gave up the idea when she saw Griseo's cute sleeping face. After blowing out the candle, she went to bed too.
