Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"No, this has nothing to do with girlishness!" Wendy shouted in her heart.

[But~ it’s not what you think.] Alicia stuck out her tongue, looking like she had pulled off a successful prank.

"That's good." Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Wendy didn’t know what to say... She always felt that Alicia was not suitable for a relationship.

She is like the so-called 'central air conditioning', she is nice to everyone.

If I become her lover... Wendy doesn't think she is the kind of person who can accept that her girlfriend is nice to many people. She doesn't have that kind of tolerance.

And with her personality, she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she could only feel jealous silently.

If you become Alicia's lover, you will die of jealousy sooner or later.

But if you are just friends, then Alicia is definitely a great friend. She will quietly listen to all your unhappiness, and then "transfer" happiness to you, just like a "filter for unhappy emotions".

[Hmm?] Alicia seemed to understand what Wendy meant, and she pouted with a wronged expression. [What does Wendy mean by this? Am I not cute?]

After saying this, she stared at the screen eagerly.

He looked as if to say, 'If you nod, I'm going to make a scene.'

"Who is the minor..." Wendy sighed in her heart. "How could that be? Ai Li is a very cute girl."

[Hehe.] Alicia immediately put away her aggrieved expression. [Yes, Alicia is a very cute girl!]

C.57 Wendy's Birthday Party

The chat with Alicia didn't last long.

Perhaps because there were no more rooms in the hotel, Yaezakura was able to share a room with Alicia today, which was a rare occasion.

So when I was about to end the call, Yaesakura came out after taking a shower, greeted me, and expressed her blessings before ending the call.

"Anna, tell me...will it look good if I grow my hair as long as Sakura's?" Wendy asked Anna after pondering for a moment.

Wendy discovered that among the people she knew, except for the captain Erwin who had short hair, everyone else had long hair.

"Emm..." After hearing Wendy's words, Anna pondered for a long time.

To be honest, she had a hard time imagining what Wendy would look like with long hair.

"I think you look good like this, Wendy." Anna said honestly. "Mainly because I think short hair is cute."

Wendy is growing so fast. She is over 1.6 meters tall at the age of 14, and some parts of her body appear bulging. I'm afraid it won't be long before she grows even bigger.

However... fast development is good, but Wendy, who is only fourteen years old, still has obvious traces of a little girl on her face.

The slight baby fat and the eyebrows that have not fully grown show that she is indeed not very old.

At this time, Wendy looks the most suitable and cutest with short hair.

"Okay." Wendy only asked the question on a whim and she didn't have a persistent desire to grow her hair long.

More importantly...Wendy is well aware of the downsides of long hair.

There's nothing you can do about it, because Anna, a girl with long hair, always complains about the disadvantages of having long hair in front of her.

Washing your hair is difficult, hair care is troublesome, and drying your hair is even more torture...

Often after taking a shower, she would spend an hour and a half just to style her hair.

Sometimes Wendy would help Anna blow dry her hair, so she knew the inconvenience of having long hair.

"Hehehe...this is the price of being beautiful." Wendy let out a tiny laugh.

"It's okay." Anna shook her head, narrowing her eyes slightly, and looked at Wendy with a look that was almost sweet. "As long as Wendy thinks it looks good, that's all."

After all, whether it is for the sake of "pleasing others" or for "pleasing oneself", such trouble and inconvenience are worth it.

If Wendy thinks she looks good with long hair, then she would naturally be willing to keep it that way.

Although Anna thinks that having the same short hair as Wendy is also a good choice.

"Anna, have you decided where we're going to go this afternoon?" Wendy asked Anna.

"Well...I don't know either." Anna said embarrassedly.

In fact, although they have not been here for long, they have been to all the more famous places in Manila.

After all...when they came to Manila before, they happened to meet Alicia.

"Ocean Park, the cinema, the amusement park...these are the places that are suitable for a date." Anna replied a little awkwardly. "Or we can just wander around."

In Anna's opinion, even if she stayed at the base with Wendy and didn't go anywhere, she would be very happy.

"Well, I see...then let's go to Ocean Park." Wendy said after pondering for a moment.

Manila's Ocean Park is one of the world-class attractions and is very suitable for travel.

Moreover, you will give a different feeling every time you look at marine life, so you won’t get bored even if you look at it a few times.

"Yeah, okay." Anna nodded repeatedly and quickly began to arrange the itinerary.

It's great to have a destination... No matter who you are, what you fear most is "casualness", but the decision you like to make most is also "casualness".

----

"Happy birthday, Wendy!" It seems that the way people celebrate birthdays is similar in different countries.

The paper 'crown' was placed on Wendy's head, and fourteen candles were lit.

Although it was noon, the base became dark after all the lights were turned off.

In the darkness, only the birthday candles glowed.

The girl's cyan eyes sparkled in the candlelight.

'This is my first birthday since...' Wendy thought about what happened in the past.

This is her first birthday since her hometown was destroyed by Honkai and she was found by Theresa on the battlefield of Honkai and brought back to 'Saint Freya'.

It’s not that Theresa didn’t want to give her the chance, but she rejected her every time, so Theresa had to give up the idea.

"Make a wish quickly." Anna urged Wendy, tapping her shoulder gently.

Meanwhile, everyone has their own rhythm of 'Happy Birthday To You'

I don’t know why, but it seems that no one at a table can ever sing this birthday song in unison.

But it doesn’t matter whether it is neat or not, because this song is all about expressing one’s feelings, and it doesn’t matter whether it is sung well or not.

"Yeah." Wendy nodded quickly and put her hands in front of her lips in a praying gesture.

She still remembered the rules of making a wish...she couldn't speak her wish out loud, otherwise it wouldn't come true.

So Wendy just made a silent wish in her heart.

"I hope... this relationship can continue to be good." Wendy didn't know what she "wanted".

So she could only make one wish she could think of.

She hopes that her relationship with Anna will continue to be good.

But Anna already has white hair, so "until the end of one's life" is a bit unlucky.

When they saw Wendy put her hands down, they knew that her wish was over.

Accompanied by the sound of blowing wind, Wendy blew out the fourteen candles in one breath.

"Great!" Anna cheered, hugging Wendy's shoulders. "Blow out all the candles in one breath, Wendy's wish will definitely come true!"

"Yeah, I believe it too." Wendy also believed it. "However, my wish cannot be fulfilled by one person, so..."

Wendy quietly wrapped her fingers around Anna's hand, and her ten fingers were tightly intertwined.

"We need to work together, Anna."

"!" Hearing Wendy's words, Anna's heart trembled suddenly, and her nose felt a little sour.

Although Wendy didn't say her wish, because it wouldn't work then.

But she expressed the content of her wish in her own way.

"Yes, I will definitely work hard." Anna nodded vigorously. 'How come Wendy is so good at this?'

She is obviously the older one, so why is she always controlled by Wendy?

'But it's not bad.' Anna didn't mind it at all.

After all, Kaslana has always been a womanizer who dotes on her wife!

"No, I'm from the Shanyat family... I'm so sorry, Lady Mistelline!" Anna silently apologized to... Mistelline in her heart.

After all, from various perspectives, those ancestors have long been dead, but [Mistrine, the Manager of the Stigmata of Shaniyat] does exist, and she can indeed be considered an ancestor.

"Ugh~~" Bellamy made a disgusted sound. "You guys are so cheesy!"

The lights were turned on, and Bellamy said with disgust as he looked at Wendy and Anna's intertwined fingers.

"Humph, if you're jealous, go find one yourself." Anna, who was not affected by her teammates' teasing at all, held Wendy's hand and showed off. "How about it, I have a girlfriend to hold hands with, do you have one?"

"Are you sick?" Bellamy shouted angrily, but it was obvious...she was hurt!

Bellamy lowered his head and looked towards Rossetti's hand.

It doesn’t matter whether she is your girlfriend or not, just find someone to hold your hand first.

"..." Rossetti glanced at Bellamy, and seeing Bellamy's eager eyes, he put his hands in his pockets.

'Kara'

For a moment, Bellamy seemed to make a petrified sound and the expression on his face turned dull.

Ignoring Bellamy, Rossetti put his other hand into his pocket.

"Uh..." Erwin looked at his empty hand and Rossetti.

"Captain~~" Bellamy, who had been freed from petrification, reached out his hand pitifully to Erwin.

In an instant, a famous painting like "The Creation of Adam" appeared.

"Forget it." Erwin quickly withdrew his hand.

"..." Bellamy took two steps back as if he had been hit hard, then sat heavily on the chair.

"I have burned out, leaving only white ash." Bellamy lowered his head.

"Team Bellamy!" Anna cheered.

"Someone is still calling me, I can't die yet!" Bellamy revived instantly after hearing Anna's cry. "This is my struggle to survive!"

"Struggling even though you're at full health?!" Erwin shouted in panic.

"Woooooooooooo!" Bellamy stood up and took Erwin away with a headbutt.

"..." Rossetti, the most reliable person in the team, sighed helplessly. "Wendy, come and cut the cake."

Ignoring his teammates who were searching for treasures, Rossetti spoke to Wendy, but there seemed to be a hint of urgency in his tone.

"Okay." Wendy took a plastic knife from the side.

Keep calm... and kill!

Wendy cut with incredible precision, leaving a knife mark in the middle of the exquisite birthday cake.

"As expected of Wendy~" Anna clapped her hands and cheered for Wendy's beautiful knife strike.

Wendy didn't say anything, but the smile on her face, which was difficult to suppress, proved her mood at the moment.

The cake was quickly cut into six pieces and Wendy gave each person a piece.

"What should I do with the extra piece?" Wendy looked at the last piece of cake on the plate with a conflicted expression.

But the reality is that Wendy had already decided who would get the last piece of cake.
