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

"..."

Mebius, who was recording experimental data in the laboratory at that moment, didn't even look up when he heard the knocking... remaining focused on his work.

After recording this short segment of data, she finally looked up and gently snapped her fingers toward the door.

With that crisp sound, the floors of the laboratory and office were instantly covered by black mud that shimmered with a green glow. Then, it quietly overflowed from the room and swallowed the person who was waiting outside the door. It was then "spit out" in the office.

Because of how quickly these events unfolded, Horhaya, who had been swallowed and spat out so quickly, still wore a wary and sharp expression on her face.

However, her mood did not last long. After taking in her surroundings and meeting Mebius's smiling eyes, it quietly faded away.

"Your actions really gave me quite a fright." Horhyahia, her smile returning, complained to Mebius with a hint of helplessness.

Road.

"Heh~ Wasn't it because Miss Spy interrupted my experiment first?" With that, Möbius withdrew his gaze from Horhys and looked at the instrument in his hand, continuing:

"Tell me, little snake, what's the matter this time?"

Chapter 135 The Candy Shop and Sticky

"Tell me, little snake, what's the matter this time?"

"Of course it's related to the task you assigned me, Miss Mebius." Facing Mebius's question, Horhaia didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of her visit.

"Although the task itself is not difficult, the lovely elf is not around during the day... So, in order not to affect your plans, I think it is necessary to discuss this with you at length."

At this point, a look of helplessness appeared on Holhaya's face.

Although Muirsey will return at night, it would seem rather deliberate for Horhaya to approach him then.

So, in a situation where she couldn't reach her target at all, it's really not fair to blame her for lacking professional skills.

"Honestly, I didn't expect that Miss Spy couldn't even do such a small thing well~" Upon hearing this, a hint of understanding flashed in Möbius's eyes, but he still teased her relentlessly.

"Forget it, I won't count on you for this. Let the child help me."

“Indeed, this kind of delicate work isn’t really my thing. But it seems Miss Mébius has quite a few helpers around her…”

Faced with Mebius's "sharp tongue," Horhaja not only did not get angry or refute, but even smiled and admitted it.

After spending some time together, Horhaya realized that this ancient being, aside from being sometimes unpleasant to talk to and having a quirky sense of humor, was generally quite easy to talk to and get along with. Of course, that was on the condition that one didn't disturb her work or experiments…

"Hmm, I do have quite a few helpers. What, would you like to get to know them?" After hearing Horhaia's probing words, Mebius snorted and then said with a smile.

Upon hearing Mebius's soft hum, Horhaia quickly waved her hand, politely declining:

"There's no need to realize it; I'm just a little curious... After all, he's someone you, Mebius, have recognized as an assistant."

What a joke! Holhaia believed she was merely curious and had no intention of going to her death... She was already taking a huge risk by seeking some secrets.

In this situation, if she were to encounter another wave of Mebius's undercover agents and accomplices... she felt she could just prepare to die on the spot.

"Heh~ They are indeed very good helpers. We'll meet again in the future, if you still have the chance then~" As he finished speaking, Mebius gave Horhaia a meaningful look.

"!"

Suddenly meeting Mebius's gaze, Horhaia, who had been relatively calm, instantly got goosebumps all over her body, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

Although her rational mind told her that Möbius didn't mean it that way, or at least not entirely, the meaningful look in his eyes still gave her an involuntary feeling that she might be killed later...

For a moment, Horhaya began to wonder if she had asked too many questions lately, or if she had known too much that she shouldn't have...

"..."

Seeing that Horhys's expression had turned strange because of his words and glance, Mebius narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of pleasure appearing on his face.

With this little episode over, she stopped looking at Horhyah, and after silently asking Gretsch for help, she focused her attention back on the experiment.

Tremont, Streets—

As time passed, the sun slowly set, leaving only a beautiful sunset in the sky.

"So, did you have fun shopping with your sister today?" As the outing was drawing to a close, Muirsey smiled and leaned close to Gretsch, asking.

"Yes, I'm happy!"

Upon hearing this, Gretchen, now tinged with Muirsey's colors, nodded her little head seriously and then answered happily.

Although because Muirsey was with me, I had to carry my own things and couldn't buy some things...

However, the little girl had to admit that she had a lot of fun playing with this elf lady this afternoon!

However, there is one thing that Gretchen could complain about, and that is...

Because someone always "bullied" her, the stain of that person's mark never faded from her body after Saria left!

Because of Muirsey's personality, the little girl who had been influenced by her ended up playing wildly with her all afternoon, displaying a personality exactly like hers...

"Hmm, so, who's better, me or Saria?"

"It's Sister Muirsey!"

Hearing the answer from the little girl, Muirsey puffed out her chest proudly and smiled, saying:

"That's more like it. Okay, Gretchen, is there anything else you want to buy? If not, let's go retrieve your belongings from the storage, and then I'll take you home."

"Sister, come with me to the candy store again!"

Faced with Muirsay's question, Gretchen thought for a moment before answering.

Because I had been there before, the little girl's place didn't lack candy.

However, remembering the favor Aunt Mebius had asked her to do while she was shopping that afternoon... she still decided to go to the candy store again.

"A candy store, huh? Let's go then!"

"Duck rush!"

And so, the two, one big and one small with almost identical expressions, excitedly headed towards their final destination.

……

Upon entering the large candy store, which boasted a wide variety of sweets, Gretchen politely declined the clerk's offer, picked up a shopping basket from the side, and asked Muirses with a slight smile, "Does Sister Muirses have any candy recommendations?"

"I want both the food for adults and the food for children!"

"Are candies meant to be given away?"

Muirsey didn't rush to choose, but instead asked curiously first.

"Ok!"

"This is my specialty! Come on, let me help you choose!" Hearing this, Muirsey gently ruffled Gretsch's fluffy little head and then quickly walked towards the shelf full of candies.

"good. "

……

After this second round of shopping, the two who had entered the candy store empty-handed came out with their hands full of shopping bags.

"This...this seems like a bit too much. The two of us alone can't possibly carry it all," Muirsey said, frowning slightly as she stood by the street.

Actually, it would be fine if it were just what I had on hand, but the problem is... these candies are only a small part; there's a whole bunch of other things stored elsewhere.

"It's alright, we can have someone else get those things later. Now I have something to give to you, Sister Muels..."

P.S.: To be honest, after taking the medication for a few days, I thought the hives were gone because I couldn't see them on my body anymore. Until... I took off my watch, and the hives were all around my wrist... It was just too much!

Chapter 136 Candy and Parting

"I have something to give to you, Sister Muelsys..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gretchen reached into the bag she was carrying and quickly pulled out a box of assorted candies, which she then handed to Muirsay.

"Thank you for spending so much time with me this afternoon."

"Eh……"

Seeing the candy handed to her, Muels was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth in surprise and said, "I didn't expect little Gretsch to be so sensible at such a young age. It was worth spending this afternoon with you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the elf took the candy offered to her and then casually pinched the little girl's smooth and delicate face.

"Well……"

Gretchen was already used to Muirsey's habit of pinching her cheeks, so she didn't resist and obediently let her pinch them.

……

After a while, after Muirses released her face, Gretchen gently raised her head and looked at the person in front of her with her beautiful, sparkling eyes, then said with a serious expression:

"Oh, right, there's something I'd like to ask Sister Muirsey for a favor..."

"Hmm, what's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Muirsay chuckled and gave a soft hum.

"Well, that's... the candy I just gave to my sister. Can you open it tomorrow morning?" Gretchen gently stroked her chin, organizing her thoughts before speaking.

“It is possible, but shouldn’t little Gretsch tell me the reason?” Muirsey asked with a look of curiosity after hearing Gretsch’s little request.

"Since candy counts as a gift, and I plan to give other gifts to my friends tomorrow morning, I hope Sister Muirsey can open it again tomorrow..."

Gretchen, who was spouting a lame excuse with a cute expression and innocent eyes, couldn't help but feel a little guilty...

That's right, the box of candy the little girl just gave out was one she had switched and was defective. Of course, the defect wasn't in the candy itself. After all... it wasn't like she was trying to poison anyone.

Möbius had tampered with the candy box; some "messages" had been inserted into the unopened box.

That's why, in order not to disrupt the plan, Greta wanted to control the time when the candy was opened, or rather, the time when the news was discovered.

To be honest, this kind of task is really not good at for little girls. It's too easy for them to mess things up. If it weren't for her Aunt Mebius... she wouldn't have made it so complicated.

She doesn't plan to take on this kind of job again next time... even though she originally just came to buy things and helped out a bit.

"Heh, so that's the reason. I didn't expect you to have such obsessive-compulsive tendencies and a sense of ritual, little Gretchen~" Muirsey chuckled and teased after hearing the little girl's explanation.

"However, since you've asked me to do this, I can grant you this little wish!"

After saying that, Muirsay couldn't help but reach out and rub the little girl's fluffy head.

Clearly, Miss Elf had absolutely no doubt about the words of the innocent and adorable child in front of her.

After all, how many people would doubt or be suspicious of the innocent and adorable words of a child...?
