"Little sister Griseo, I'm here again~"
A cheerful, childish voice rang out as a pink whirlwind breezed into the room.
Vya, all smiles, dashed over to Blanca and little Griseo, with Elysia following at a leisurely pace behind her.
Elysia gave a wave. "Aww, Blanca~ And Griseo, hello there♪~"
Blanca was seated on the sofa, gently supporting a toddling Griseo. A soft smile spread across her face at the sight of the visitors. "Oh, it's you two."
As she spoke, she let go of Griseo's tiny hand. The little girl could already take a few wobbly steps on her own.
She's learning so fast~
"Little sister Griseo!"
Vya crouched down and gently took the little girl's soft hand in hers.
"Sis…ter…"
Griseo called out in a milky, tender voice, her clear eyes brimming with joy.
She remembered this big sister who came to see her often.
She really liked Vya.
Blanca smiled at Elysia. "You know, after 'mama' and 'papa', the very next word Griseo learned to say was 'sister'."
Elysia's eyes sparkled. "Really? Let me hold her, quick! What an adorable child."
Without any hesitation, Elysia swept Griseo right up into her arms.
"Come on now, say 'sister'!"
Elysia playfully coaxed the little girl in her embrace.
"Sis…ter…"
Griseo obediently repeated, her small hand curiously grasping a strand of Elysia's long pink hair.
"Mmm… that's wonderful, Griseo is such a good girl♪~"
Elysia nuzzled the child's cheek affectionately, then looked over at Vya, who was watching with eager eyes. "Vya's a good girl too♪~"
"Mhm, sis! I want to hold little sister Griseo too!"
Vya stood on her tiptoes, arms outstretched.
"Alright~"
Elysia reluctantly put the adorable Griseo down.
"Little sister Griseo, hug!"
"Hug…"
Vya wrapped her arms around Griseo, feeling the small, warm body against her own.
In Vya's eyes, Griseo seemed to radiate a spotless, pure white light, so innocent it made you want to protect her.
"Mmm~"
Vya basked in the moment. Gazing at Griseo's little face, a bold idea suddenly popped into her head.
She looked up and asked Blanca earnestly, "Sister Blanca, can I give little sister Griseo a kiss?"
Vya inquired.
"Oh? Why's that?"
"Because big sister always kisses me~ Vya is a big sister now too, can I?"
Vya asked with hopeful anticipation.
Blanca couldn't hold back a chuckle. "Well, of course you can~"
"Yay~"
With permission granted, Vya immediately planted a soft mwah on Griseo's pink, tender cheek.
?
Griseo looked at Vya with puzzled eyes.
But she quickly followed suit, giving Vya's cheek a gentle peck in return.
Hehe Elysia and Blanca couldn't help but laugh softly at the sight.
Elysia crouched down and gently ruffled both little girls' hair. "Vya's the big sister now, so you have to protect your little sister from now on, okay~"
"Mhm, Vya will definitely protect little sister!"
"And be responsible as a big sister! Just like my big sister does~!"
As she said this, Vya looked towards Elysia.
At the same time, she added in her heart, 'I have to protect the good people and punish the bad ones.'
That was the promise she had made to that dark-haired sister.
"Mmm, Vya is so wonderful~!"
Elysia praised her sincerely.
…
Some time before, seeing that Vya was quite bored, Mobius had given her a box of colored pencils.
It was so she could draw in her free time. Even though Vya knew nothing about painting techniques and just doodled whatever came to mind, she thoroughly enjoyed it.
The most frequent subjects on her drawing paper were Elysia and Mobius, with occasional appearances by herself and cute cats.
And so, Vya brought Griseo over to draw with her.
"This time, let's draw little sister Griseo and sister Blanca~!"
Vya announced, picking a blue colored pencil from the case.
And with that, she began.
Griseo watched from beside her, her eyes shining brightly as she followed Vya's movements.
"Does little sister want to draw together too?"
Vya noticed her expectant gaze.
"Mhm…"
Little Griseo nodded with a giggle.
"Okay, let's do it together then!"
Vya deftly spread out a piece of A3-sized sketch paper, its surface dazzlingly white.
"Alright, this time let's draw sister Blanca first!"
Vya's pencil tip hovered above the paper, then she suddenly hesitated. "Hmm... where should I start the hair from..."
Griseo, who had been quietly leaning on the table, suddenly reached out her index finger and tapped the upper left corner of the paper.
Vya had a flash of understanding. "Oh, right! Start from here!"
She drew a rather lopsided oval and then added a few wavy lines for long hair.
So the two of them painted together on the paper, each contributing their part.
"Sister Blanca is done!"
Before long, a little blue-haired figure had sprung to life on the page.
Though the proportions were a bit off, the spirit of it surprisingly captured Blanca's gentle essence.
"Mama…!"
Griseo also pointed at the little figure on the paper, looking very happy.
"Then next, let's draw Griseo!"
Vya, full of vigor, immediately started on the second little figure. She paused from time to time, tilting her head to study Griseo, then buried herself back in her creation.
Soon, two more little figures were added to the drawing.
It was Griseo and Ato.
The family of three was drawn together. The three little figures on the page were holding hands, and in the corner, Vya had added clouds that looked like cotton candy.
…
"Sisters~!"
Holding Griseo's little hand with one of hers and the drawing paper in the other, Vya went over to Blanca and Elysia.
Blanca took the drawing and examined it carefully. "Oh, is this our family? And Ato too?"
"Mhm mhm!"
Vya nodded vigorously, her face full of anticipation.
"My, Vya is so talented!"
"No no, little sister Griseo is very talented too!"
Vya praised Griseo.
And it was true. Griseo had indeed contributed many inspired touches. They seemed accidental, but they weren't.
Elysia leaned in, wrapping an arm around each little girl. "Aww, both Vya and Griseo did wonderfully~"
"You both deserve praise♪~ Come here, let your big sister give you each a kiss!"
Praise naturally worked well on children, and Elysia's kisses were no exception.
…
Elysia said to Blanca, "You know, Vya drew Dr. Mobius and me before~"
"Although when Mobius saw it, she just gave a 'hmph', took the drawing, and put it away."
Elysia's imitation was spot-on, capturing a bit of Mobius's manner.
Blanca chuckled softly. "It seems Vya does have a talent for drawing, Elysia. Perhaps you could help her develop it?"
"Mmm, we could give it a try♪~"
"What do you think, Vya!"
"I want to paint with my little sister!"
Vya exclaimed happily.
"Paint…!"
Griseo chimed in as well.
