Chapter 83: Stars: Griseo II
"Within the Elysian Realm, Griseo and Kosma, as memories, often lived together, their relationship akin to siblings. After the Herrscher of Corruption invaded, Griseo used Kosma's colors to turn him into a painting to deceive the Herrscher. However, out of simple worry that Kosma would be lonely, Griseo painted herself into the picture as well. This resulted in the Herrscher of Corruption failing to obtain any information regarding Elysia after corrupting Griseo's memory. Because of this, time was bought for the remaining Flame-Chasers and Mei's operations."
"Griseo does not love words; all her thoughts lie beneath her paintbrush. Griseo does not concern herself with worldly affairs; the direction of her heart lies entirely within colors."
"A scroll, woven into Griseo and her world. The colors of the past unfold within the dream of painting, extending until the end of the Silver Sea."
...
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Elysia: Ah, Griseo has grown up. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kosma: She's grown up! ]
Looking at this grown-up girl in the inventory live stream, Kosma couldn't help but think of his captain—Bin.
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Theresa: This… this is too big, isn't it? ]
At this moment, Theresa stared at the image of the adult Griseo in the live stream, her eyes wide. They were both MANTIS, so why wasn't she growing up?
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Murata Himeko: Is the Principal envious? Don't worry, you'll grow up eventually too. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Fu Xuan: I really don't know what the use of growing this big is? Don't you feel tired? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Jing Yuan: Lady Fu, don't panic, you will grow taller in the future. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Qingque: Ah, will the Master Diviner still grow? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Fu Xuan: Qingque, what do you mean by that? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Furina: Death penalty, death penalty, all of you get the death penalty. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Hu Tao: Lady Furina is right. Don't worry, you pass the sentence, I'll be responsible for digging the pits. ]
At this moment, everyone in the live stream felt the deep resentment of a group of flat-chested women.
...
"Next, we will play the video of Starry Impression Griseo."
"Long time no see!"
In the video, Griseo's back appeared. She was sitting on a stone bench, speaking slowly: "That day, you just suddenly felt the sunshine outside was perfect and that you should go out for a walk, so you started a world tour, real Griseo."
Not far from her, a Honkai Beast held a fully grown, transparent girl in its hand. She chuckled softly and spoke slowly: "Yes, the sunshine outside is perfect, and we… should also wake up."
Hearing the girl's words, Griseo chuckled and said: "Even if this time… it might still fail."
"Mm, even if this time fails, I will accompany you until we both see the real sun." The phantom slowly cupped Griseo's hands and leaned her head against them.
Then, Griseo slowly dissolved into starlight and disappeared.
The scene shifted. The adult Griseo frowned, sat up slowly, rubbed her aching head, and said in a daze: "What a very long dream that was!"
Just then, Fu Hua also discovered the newly awakened Griseo. She widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "Griseo!"
"Ah, Sister Hua…" Hearing someone call her name, Griseo turned around. Seeing Fu Hua staring straight at her, she couldn't help but exclaim.
"You're really okay, that's great… that's really great!" Looking at the familiar person before her, Fu Hua's eyes welled up with tears, and she said excitedly.
"Mm, I'm fine, Sister Hua. Aside from my body still feeling a bit weak, I'm doing well." Griseo nodded, looking at Fu Hua with a smile.
"Oh, right, and… long time no see!" Griseo tilted her head, her eyes squinting, her face full of smiles.
"Indeed… long time no see!" Fu Hua also chuckled, suppressing her tears, smiling as well.
The video slowly ended with the laughter of Fu Hua and Griseo.
"The video ends here!"
...
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: As expected, Monitor, you are one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Fu Hua: Perhaps, but I have lost most of my memories, and there are many things I cannot remember. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Hua: My future self? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Tingyun: Hmm, hiss~ ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Cocolia: Tingyun, what are you doing? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Tingyun: Hmm, one big, one small. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Cocolia: No, is that your focus? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Hua: ... ]
[ Genshin Impact - Hu Tao: Why? Can't you share some with me when you're growing? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Sampo: This Miss Griseo has grown up. I don't think Mr. Kosma likes her bare feet anymore. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kosma: ??? Damn it, say that to my face if you have the guts! ]
Kosma was furious. The joy he felt from seeing Griseo grow up had been more than half-destroyed by Sampo's comment. At this moment, he just wanted to slaughter Sampo.
...
"For the sake of our future inventory, this live stream will accelerate its pace. Now, we will directly play a fan-made video of little Griseo."
"Griseo: Mother Aponia, struggle in agony!"
On the screen appeared a chibi doll of Kalpas. He was incessantly punching a sandbag, which had Aponia's image printed on it.
Kalpas stepped back a few paces, then lunged forward, kicking the face of Aponia on the picture, shouting excitedly: "Ahahahahahaha~"
The scene shifted outside the room. A simple-minded Griseo was being disturbed by Kalpas's noise, unable to paint. She raised her hand, looking helpless: "It's so noisy here, how can I paint the world?"
Griseo followed the noise and walked into Kalpas's room. At this moment, Kalpas summoned a fireball from the sky, blasting it onto the sandbag, and leaped over to stomp on the sandbag with Aponia's image under his foot.
"Ah, Kal… Master Kal, Mother Aponia?" Griseo looked at the "sick" Kalpas, covered her mouth with her hand, and thought of Kalpas and Aponia's Herrscher forms in disbelief.
"Cool~" Thinking of their Herrscher forms, Griseo had only one thought—extremely cool!
Griseo turned and ran out quickly. Her footsteps caught Kalpas's attention. He turned his head and gave a puzzled "Hm?", then shouted urgently: "Hey, little one, it's not what you think, listen to me."
Seeing that Griseo didn't look back, Kalpas hurriedly chased after her.
