Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

Although Anna is the most talented member of Shaniyat's generation, except for Yulandel, her qualities as a Valkyrie are only "average".

With her talent, becoming an elite A-class Valkyrie at the age of twenty is already the limit. As for S-class... that is almost impossible.

Until one day, Anna came to class as usual...but she became completely different.

Her personality is still the same carefree girl, but her soft and lovely chestnut hair turned into pure silver hair after one afternoon.

Obviously her personality has not changed, but the white hair makes her look more elegant... Of course, this elegance only lasted for a short time.

Her true nature was soon revealed, and she was still a person with a stronger Kaslana bloodline.

However, it is said that after awakening the stigmata, Anna's strength began to improve by leaps and bounds... In just half a month, she became stronger than herself.

Wendy didn't feel any jealousy in her heart, she was just getting more and more curious about Anna...

Well, besides Anna, there is also Raiden Mei.

According to the information given by the academy, although Anna has the stigmata, it can only be considered half-awakened... In other words, Anna has a part of the supernatural powers from "Shaniat". Although it is not complete, it can indeed be called powerful.

Unlike Anna, Mei Raiden is a complete [Stigma Awakener].

Although she is only a temporary Valkyrie, her evaluation is S-level, which means...she has the strength of an S-level Valkyrie at least.

Of course, Wendy, who was the chief a few days ago but became the third when she woke up, still did not feel any jealousy.

After all, there is nothing to be jealous of...

No matter how powerful the S-class Valkyries are, when the Valkyries on the front line ask for help, don’t they still have to rush over quickly?

As for other benefits...to be honest, even if C and D-level Valkyries retire, their benefits are enough for them to live a stable life. Although they can't spend money lavishly, they are definitely not tight on money.

B-level Valkyries have accommodation arranged by destiny. If they want to participate in other work, they can also do so. Generally speaking, as long as they don’t do anything harmful to the world, destiny will solve any problems.

A-rank Valkyrie has countless privileges...

Therefore, Wendy, who has already been guaranteed to be an A-rank Valkyrie, does not need to be jealous of anyone.

Maybe it's just as some people say, 'curiosity is the beginning of liking someone'.

The curiosity that quietly emerged made Wendy often pay too much attention to Anna.

Wendy is not a very cheerful person, and to some extent she is even a little gloomy.

She is a delicate and gentle person, and because of this...after the collapse took away everything from her, she couldn't get over it for a long time.

But when a ray of sunlight fell on her, her eyes were involuntarily attracted by the sunlight.

When she saw Anna's silly look, she couldn't help but start to explore this guy's mind.

Perhaps half a year ago, she didn't quite understand these things, and even her questions to Anna at that time were just prompted by some strange coincidence.

But that's how love is. Once something is pointed out, you will continue to pay attention to it.

While Anna was paying attention to her, wasn't she also paying attention to Anna?

"My birthday is coming up in a few days...what will she say to me?" Wendy felt a sense of anticipation.

Half a year ago, she and Anna agreed to wait until her birthday to consider relationship matters, and her fourteenth birthday was only a few days away.

...

......

To be honest, 'casual' is really the hardest thing to do.

When I asked Wendy what gift she wanted, she said she would like any gift.

Although this sounds nice, but...isn't it still 'whatever'?

"What should I do?" Anna's eyes looked a little empty at this moment.

"Hey, Anna." At this moment, someone suddenly patted Anna's shoulder. Anna turned around but saw no one.

"Captain Erwin, you're so boring." Anna then turned around and changed direction.

Captain Erwin is a very cheerful and friendly person. As an elite A-class Valkyrie, to put it simply, she has been promoted to A-class for three years. Her strength is considered to be on the upper level among A-class Valkyries...but she is a bit gossipy.

Rossetti is a support-type Valkyrie with a quiet personality, and is the most reliable person on the team besides Wendy.

Bellamy is weak in frontal combat, but is very good at heavy weapons suppression. He has a carefree personality and is like a fool.

"It can't be helped." Erwin spread his hands. "It would be really boring if we don't have some fun." Erwin turned over the back of the chair and sat next to Anna.

"Come to think of it, the day after tomorrow is Wendy's birthday, right? This little girl is fourteen years old already." Alvin said with some emotion.

Although Wendy is just a newbie as a Valkyrie, her strength should not be underestimated.

But even so, Wendy, as a newbie, is much stronger than her in terms of strength alone.

I can only say that Wendy’s talent is really amazing.

"Yes, I'm fourteen years old." Anna nodded. When she was fourteen, she was still in the academy thinking about how to get the top spot this year... and she was only a B-level Valkyrie at the time. Wendy, for example, had a strength close to S-level at the age of fourteen.

Anna had only seen this kind of talent in Yulandel.

But the problem is... the gap between Wendy and Yulandel is like the gap between the grassroots and the aristocracy...

Oh no.

Wendy is indeed just a grassroots commoner, while Kaslana and Shaniyat are real aristocrats.

It hasn’t been long since Wendy became a Valkyrie, and although Yulandel’s strength has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two or three years, she has been laying the foundation since she was a child.

"Oh, fourteen years old." Erwin's eyes revealed a mischievous look. "So, how are things going between you two?"

Erwin gave a gossipy smile.

"What do you mean? It's just like that, nothing special." Anna replied quickly.

This is the truth! She and Wendy seldom even cuddle with each other. On weekdays, they just hold hands at most... These are all normal physical contacts.

"Then you can almost start taking action." Erwin patted Anna's shoulder.

Before that, Wendy was less than fourteen years old, and was considered a "young girl" in terms of age, so they didn't dare to say certain things about Wendy that might have a bad influence.

But since Wendy is about to become a 'woman', there are some things that can be said openly.

"Action?! What action should I take!" Anna widened her eyes.

Of course she could understand what Erwin was saying, she was just shocked!

Is it really possible to say such a thing?!

"Be bold, she's not a child anymore." Although she's not a child, she's still a minor...but Anna herself is also a minor, so it's no big deal.

Well, it’s adolescence. How can it be considered adolescence if it’s not a little bit restless?

"Still pretending with your sisters?" Erwin poked Anna's cheek. "Girl, the way you look at me these days is almost tearing my hair."

"Where...where is that?" Anna quickly recalled her past few days...

She didn't stare at Wendy the whole time. What do you mean by drawing? This is slander!

"Don't talk nonsense." Anna slapped away Erwin's hand that was poking her face. "I don't know yet..."

As she spoke, Anna's tone lowered a little.

The closer Anna got to Wendy's body, the more uneasy she felt.

Because in the past few days, she didn't find Wendy showing any expression to her...

Does this mean that Wendy has forgotten the agreement she made with me more than half a year ago?

Or maybe, although she remembered the agreement, she actually didn't like me...

The more she cares, the more anxious she becomes...especially since Wendy hasn't shown any interest in her lately.

Although Wendy did not show any indifference towards her and was as gentle as ever...but such gentleness was only shown to her 'friends'.

These reactions combined did make Anna a little scared.

"So, there's nothing to be afraid of." Erwin shrugged. "The couple is really interesting. I don't know what this kid is afraid of..."

As a bystander, Alvin saw it clearly!

Anna looked at Wendy with such a sickening look... She wasn't very good at Shenzhou dialect, so was there a word for it: affectionate or seductive?

As for Wendy, it's even more interesting... She always pretends not to see Anna when she looks at her, and only when Anna no longer looks at her, will she look at Anna.

Although they usually pretend to be "ordinary friends", Erwin knows very well that Wendy is like a soda can that was accidentally dropped on the ground and may "explode" at any time.

Well, in other words, she was really suppressing her emotions, so she seemed a little bit dull recently.

She was worried that if she didn't control herself...something bad might happen.

"But do all the little girls nowadays have such strong emotions?" Erwin's expression was a little strange. "But think about it... emotions are the strongest and purest at this age, right?"

"Then you two can go out and celebrate by yourselves...but come see me before you go." Erwin patted Anna's shoulder a little harder, then stood up and walked away.

"..." Anna blinked in confusion.

C.53 Confession at midnight

It was almost one in the morning and Mei Raiden was still playing with her communicator.

She had set the alarm to remind her at 0:58 that she had something to do.

And time little by little came to this moment.

[It's been a while since we last contacted each other. How have you been recently?] Mei Raiden sent her own message. [Happy 14th birthday to Wendy! (Fireworks) (Candles) (Cake)]

But the message had been sent, and Mei Raiden didn't expect Wendy to reply to her right away.

After all, Santa Freya is East 9th District, while Manila is East 8th District, so it’s still early.

Maybe Wendy is waiting for her birthday with her teammates and has no time to pay attention to me.

So after sending the message, Mei Raiden turned off the communicator and put it aside.

She wanted to sleep. If she didn't, she would feel very uncomfortable when her biological clock woke her up tomorrow.

[Thank you Mei, I received your blessing.] However, what Mei did not expect was that Wendy replied to the message very quickly. [I have been very happy recently. There has been no collapse in Manila. It’s just that the missions a while ago were not going smoothly, but everything is fine.]

Wendy's sentences were not elegant, nor did she report only good news and not bad news.

He just told Mei Raiden his thoughts truthfully.

[Work is not going well? What happened?] Feeling the vibration of the communicator, Raiden Mei also opened her phone again and started chatting.

[It is the vaccine developed by Lady Kiana... [Anti-Honkai Vaccine V2]. Since the government subsidy in Manila is not strong, the residents have to pay for it to a certain extent, so many people are unwilling to get vaccinated...]

Although Tianming doesn’t have to make this money, and can even exclude the research and development expenses, it can’t really lose money.

A series of expenses such as raw material costs and transportation costs must always be earned back.

So after all the calculations, the residents still have to spend money, so many people are unhappy.

[So that's how it is... There's nothing we can do about it.] Raiden Mei could feel Wendy's helplessness even through the screen.

But there is really no way to avoid this. Because of its low cost, the [Anti-Honkai Vaccine V1] has almost achieved free vaccination just by relying on national subsidies and subsidies from Heaven. But even though it is free, there are still many people who are unwilling to get the vaccine, let alone if it costs money?

So this is really unavoidable...

[We are working hard to find a solution. We have to try our best anyway.]

[Come on, come on!] It can be seen that Mei Raiden is not very good at chatting online. [What are you doing now? Are you celebrating with your teammates?]

[No, we’ll celebrate tomorrow at noon. I’m...] Wendy didn’t finish her words, but Raiden Mei knew that she was actually waiting for someone.

[In that case, I won't bother you anymore. Good night.]

[Good night Mei.]

...

......

"Why... haven't you come yet?" Wendy had been tossing and turning in bed for a while.

Even Mei Raiden knew through the screen that she was waiting for someone, so could it be that the person being waited for didn't know?
