Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

If you know, please come quickly.

They never tried to tease each other, although they never expressed their true feelings out loud because of the agreement.

But...just eye contact should be enough to understand each other's feelings, right?

So, come quickly, today is the agreed day... Can I finally say those words?

...

"What are you doing walking around?" Rossetti, the Valkyrie from the Intelligence Department, was about to go back to her room when she unexpectedly saw Anna wandering around the door of the room.

Their rooms are single dormitories, and each person has a single room.

There is actually only a wall between them...but because the Valkyries have relatively sharp senses, sound-insulating materials were chosen as the building materials.

“Uh…” Anna stopped walking, not expecting that she would be caught wandering. “I…that…”

In fact, Anna's original plan was to ask Wendy out tomorrow afternoon, then give her a gift during dinner and tell her what was in her heart.

But the problem arises... They are so close to each other. If we want to talk about the sense of ceremony, of course it would be more ceremonial to say happy birthday to each other at 0:00, right?

But if I say happy birthday, shouldn’t I also give her a gift? If I give her a gift, shouldn’t I tell her how I feel?

"So conflicted..." Anna had been conflicted for most of the day, and was still conflicted at this moment.

"Okay, what's there to worry about? Come on in." Rossetti patted Anna's arm and said, "Go tell Wendy how you feel. As for the dinner tomorrow evening, it's just dinner after a date."

"!" Anna was obviously shocked when Rossetti said this.

Yes, she could just tell Wendy how she felt.

"Thank you, Rossetti." Anna thanked him repeatedly, then took a deep breath and rang the doorbell of Wendy's room.

This is also because the sound insulation effect is so good that you have to use the doorbell even if you want to call someone in the room.

It seemed like only a second or two, but Anna felt as if time was about to stop.

She held the gift box very tightly in her hand, for she was afraid that she would accidentally break it.

As a result, because she used too much force, her whole hand began to tremble.

"Ding~Cada"

With a buzzing sound and the sound of unlocking, Wendy's door was unlocked.

"Come on." Rossetti patted Anna on the back and gave her a thumbs up.

"Yeah!" Anna nodded vigorously, gave a thumbs up, and then opened the door.

The room was completely dark, with only Wendy's communicator and the light from the hallway shining in a little.

"Do you want to turn on the light?" Although she was backlit, Wendy could clearly see Anna's figure. She asked Anna softly.

If I can't see the other person's face, maybe I'll feel less nervous... Wendy thought.

"Open...open it." Anna responded nervously.

'Click'

In the dark room, soft lights came on.

Anna stood at the door, her white hair also showed a little warm color under the soft warm light...

Well, Anna's face looks a little yellow under this light.

"Wenwen Wendy..." Anna shouted tremblingly, then clumsily closed the door of the room, and then walked towards Wendy with her hands and feet together.

"Anna~" Although Anna, as the one who was confessing, was very nervous, how could Wendy not be nervous?

But Anna's series of clumsy performances had already shattered Wendy's nervousness. The fact that she didn't laugh was already a sign of her strength.

"Huh..." Anna swallowed and walked to Wendy's bed.

Wendy didn't say anything, but just moved her body and sat upright, waiting for Anna to speak.

'Boom! '

At this moment, Anna suddenly knelt down on one knee and held up the gift in her hand.

"???" Even though Wendy had made countless mental preparations, she was still confused at this moment.

"What...what's going on?" Wendy was prepared to be confessed to!

During the past six months, she naturally understood her own heart, so...if Anna confessed to her, she would accept it without hesitation.

But this scene...she had never imagined it at all!

Wendy looked at Anna, her eyes trembling.

"Oh no, oh no!" Not only was Wendy confused at this moment, but Anna, who was kneeling on one knee, was also confused.

Although it is not wrong to kneel on one knee when confessing, she also raised the gift in her hand!

This posture doesn't look right, does it?

"Ji Mi! Who will save me?!" Anna screamed in her heart, even her body was shaking a little, and fine beads of sweat gradually covered her forehead.

It's embarrassing, and even more so, I'm at a loss.

"Anna~" Just when Anna was feeling extremely embarrassed, Wendy suddenly leaned over.

The upper body and thighs were pressed together, and Wendy smiled and put her face in front of Anna.

"Anna, don't you want to say something now?" Wendy's gentle voice made Anna feel surprisingly calm.

"I..." Anna gradually calmed down as she looked at the face so close to her. "Happy birthday, Wendy. This is my gift to you. Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Anna handed the gift to Wendy and said.

"Is it just a gift?" Wendy sat up and took Anna's gift but did not open it immediately.

"Why don't you open it and take a look first." Anna said coquettishly in a deliberately sweet voice.

"Okay~" Since Anna said so, Wendy would naturally follow her rhythm.

Wendy untied the ribbon, took the delivery knife next to her, and carefully cut the transparent tape on the gift box.

Her movements were so gentle that the packaging wasn't damaged at all.

After Wendy's careful unpacking, the gift box finally appeared in front of the two of them.

It was a rectangular box, not very long, only about twelve or thirteen centimeters long and five or six centimeters wide.

Using a box like this, the gift inside should only be seven or eight centimeters.

"Open it?" Wendy asked Anna. She didn't know what Anna was going to do next, so she chose to follow Anna's arrangements.

"Well, open it first." Anna nodded quickly.

"Yes." Wendy carefully opened the gift box, revealing a golden ornament inside.

The upper half is hard to describe, it is square and has a simple beauty.

The lower half is shaped like a windmill.

"What is this?" Wendy's fingers fell on the ornament. It felt cool to the touch. Although it was golden, it didn't feel like gold, but metal. 'Is this... Soul Steel?'

Wendy quickly realized what the ornament was made of.

It is currently the strongest metal in the world, and ordinary Valkyries have no right to use it.

"Hair accessories." Anna said with a smile. "This is a tornado, this is a windmill..."

Wendy's name is Wendy, and wind is wind.

"Do you like it?" Anna asked Wendy, but she didn't wait for Wendy's answer and continued, "I designed it. I plan to give it to my girlfriend."

"..." Hearing Anna's words, Wendy blinked at her. "I like it very much, what should I do?"

Although she said that, Wendy tilted her head towards Anna.

The meaning was very clear, which meant asking Anna to help her put on the hair accessory.

"Then I'll give it to you." Anna picked up the hair accessory and pinned it on Wendy's hair. "How about it, girlfriend? Does it suit you?"

"I can't even see it." Wendy had no intention of denying her "girlfriend". She picked up the communicator beside her and turned on the camera and selfie mode.

There was a golden hair accessory pinned on her short dark blue hair. It was so light that Wendy didn't even feel her hair was being restrained.

It doesn't look complicated and has a simple beauty, which makes Wendy like it very much. She even feels that she should wear this hair accessory.

"It looks great, I like it very much." Wendy admitted her liking for it softly and generously.

However...the girl's face reflected in the camera's selfie mode shows that her eyes are not on the hair accessory at all, but on the person who gave her the hair accessory.

"As long as you like it." Anna also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know how many design drafts she had scrapped during this period of time... After all, she didn't study these.

As for Soul Steel... ordinary Valkyries, especially newbies in A-rank, do not have the right to use it.

But Anna is a member of the Shaniyat tribe after all, so she successfully got some soul steel from her mother. It was definitely not enough to make a weapon, but it was enough to make a hair accessory.

"Come closer." Wendy said to Anna. "This is our first photo together after we confirmed our relationship."

Wendy held the communicator and said "come closer", but in fact she moved her body closer.

"Yeah." The moment Anna touched Wendy's body, her whole body seemed a little stiff. She straightened her body and her eyes wandered around.

"Are you too nervous?" Wendy chuckled in her heart...even though she was nervous too.

"Relax a little, how will the photos taken like this look?" Wendy pinched Anna's face.

She is obviously the younger one, but she is the one in charge now.

"Breathe, breathe...breathe, breathe..."

The strange breathing method really made Anna relax.

Although Wendy also felt that this breathing method was a bit strange, she was still very young after all, so she didn't know what this breathing method was and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Okay." Anna calmed her heartbeat a little. "Am I leaning on Wendy's shoulder, or is Wendy leaning on me?"

"Look at the camera." Wendy gently called Anna back to consciousness.

Anna said nothing and instinctively looked towards the camera.

And at this moment, her eyes suddenly went dark and she instinctively closed her eyes.

There was a warm and soft touch on my lips.

‘click’

The shutter made a slight sound at this moment.

C.54 Kiss

"Eh?" She didn't have time to feel the touch on her lips, and the girl who attacked her had already retreated away from her.

Anna opened her eyes and turned to look at the girl beside her in shock.

Wendy's cheeks were flushed red, almost making her steam.

It was obvious that from the beginning, all her calmness was a disguise, and she was actually very shy.

But as the one being confessed to, she needs to be calm so as to give Anna more courage.

And the result was naturally just as she expected. Anna did indeed muster up the courage.

"Wendy..." Anna called the girl's name softly, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Her emotions were so complicated and overwhelming at the moment that she didn't know what to say.

"Hmm..." Wendy made an almost inaudible nasal sound in response, and then the two fell into silence.

...

"Hey..." Suddenly, a light laugh was heard in the silent space.

Hearing the laughter, Wendy looked sideways.
