Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

"Well, regarding this discussion, I don't think anyone has a better say than my sister."

The flattery from her brother immediately made Shiluwa very happy, and she spoke very proudly.

"Of course not. Don't even think about who I am, your sister. I even built the energy center of the Iron Guard restricted area!"

"Ahem. Sister, this involves military secrets. Why don't we talk for a moment?"

At this point, Jeppard lowered his voice.

And Shiluwa naturally took his hint and the smile on her lips deepened.

After giving Wendy, who was looking towards them, an encouraging gesture, she hurriedly pulled Jeppard away.

Maybe it's because she's getting older and starting to face the pressure of blind dates. Faced with the rare change of character of her younger sisters, she has to fulfill her duty as an older sister and help to match them up.

Oh, it’s really good to be young——!

When Pera came to her senses, Wendy was the only one present. He was looking at an electric guitar, as if thinking about how to use the instrument.

"Huh? Why are we the only ones left? Where are Guard Officers Shiluwa and Jeppard?"

She turned her head in confusion and realized that she was in the same room with Wendy.

But, a sense of ambiguity?

No.

As for thoughts on love...

If the other party doesn't bring up this kind of thing, it's useless to think about it, right?

She had no romantic thoughts at all. After learning that Shiluwa and Jeppard were discussing the so-called "military secrets", she stood up angrily and walked outside.

Instead of talking in the inner room, go outside and talk. Aren’t you afraid that guests will come and hear something?

Not to mention, what Wendy has done is enough to gain everyone's trust.

It was not until she came outside and discovered the two people that Pera seemed to be trying to punish them after the event.

"Silva——!"

Chapter 52: Hidden in the Language of Flowers

At this moment, Jeppard and Shiluwa were standing very close to each other, staring at the drawings intently, as if listening to what their sister was explaining.

The soft light from the floor lamp in the room falls on the two of them, almost creating a kind of overlapping of time. This close brother and sister are always by each other's side.

This made Pera silent for a moment, and she just pouting slightly and staring at the two of them.

Because everyone knew that they were siblings, there was no possibility of misunderstanding.

Even the thought that came to her mind was all because of Shiluwa's deliberate actions, which diverted her thinking!

But after being teased like this, it feels like there is no way to tease the player back.

Well - I'm really angry!

"Huh? Why are you guys out so early? Didn't Brother Wendy seize the opportunity?"

Shiluwa looked at Wendy innocently, as if she didn't know why Pella was in such a bad mood.

"Ah, you mean stealing? Well, personally, I always prefer two meat pies. Three or four would make me sick."

Wendy, who was following behind Pella, answered as if she didn't understand what he meant.

“…Ah? I’m not…”

When she found that her little sister Perla was staring at her with murderous eyes, Shiluwa wisely stopped this behavior and just smiled foolishly, pretending to know nothing.

"Yeah, I'll try a different recipe next time. Remember to come back and try it."

"Then Miss Laoshiluwa will be there."

It was rare for him to get away with it, so Wendy relaxed a little. However, Pella glanced at him, seemed to think about something, but quickly gave up.

"Oh, you're still calling me Miss? That's so strange! You can just call me Shiluwa, or Shiluwa Big Sister. That's what Jeppard and Pella call me anyway."

The proprietress of the machinery shop patted her chest in a rather heroic manner, and for a moment her emotions were in turmoil.

"My sister has a forthright personality and is rather... well, straightforward in her approach to people and matters. Please forgive me if I've offended you."

Jeppard added apologetically.

For this pair of siblings who can fully cooperate without communication, Pera can be said to be "punching on cotton", but fortunately she is not without "allies".

When Pera gave her a look that said "do something, or say something", Wendy spoke up.

"Yeah. I think it's because of this sentiment that the music and food of Big Sister Shiluwa have such an unstoppable momentum."

He touched his chin and said with some nostalgia.

"Besides, not only is the rock music good, but the dinner was also quite delicious. I realized I was a bit full after eating it. If I eat more, I'm afraid I'll have to add a weight loss exercise to my schedule."

"Haha! Give me more praise. That's what my sister loves to hear."

Shiluwa was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Even Jeppard beside her nodded in approval.

It seems that no matter where you are, there are always people who like to hear good words, although Wendy did not lie.

After livening up the atmosphere a bit, Wendy also suggested, "By the way, Pella, can you go for a walk with me later? Just to help me digest the food, and by the way, let's discuss the priorities of the intelligence we need to collect later."

"……no problem."

Pella just pushed her glasses and responded nonchalantly.

As for the production of technological protective gear, this cannot be done overnight, and we can only wait for Xiluwa to produce the finished product.

Moreover, since Guard Officer Jeppard was about to return to the Edge Pass to resume his duties, they had to temporarily suspend the discussion and come back to discuss it in detail with their sister later.

So, they left the warm perpetual motion mechanical house with a faint smell of engine oil.

Only then did Perla blush slightly and thank him softly.

"Thank you so much for that."

"It's okay~ It's okay. Having a friend who cares about you like this is actually something to be happy about, isn't it?"

"Having said that, I also know that Shiluwa and Guard Officer Jeppard have no ill intentions, but I still feel a little uncomfortable..."

"Because it feels like being cared for like a child? After all, Pella is small—"

Before she could finish her words, Wendy felt her cheek being pinched, while Perla maintained her position. Her thin lips looked like they were painted with lip gloss, showing a beautiful cherry color, and even two blushes appeared on her cheeks.

"Were you trying to say something extremely offensive to a lady?"

She emphasized each word.

"That was never the intention."

Wendy blinked, and her eyes inevitably slid down because of her movements, sweeping over the chest that could be called a "little home on the prairie" level.

"I just want to say that being petite can be cute too."

These words immediately made Pera blush. After a groan, she let go and squatted on the ground for a while before she calmed down a little.

She raised the book she was carrying until it covered half of her blushing face, revealing only a pair of rather shy and annoyed watery eyes.

"You, aren't you saying this on purpose to tease me?"

In the past, Pera was teased about her height during her school years.

Although she fought back righteously at that time, the nickname inevitably spread.

In addition, her name was not easy to remember, and she had skipped grades repeatedly. Before she reached the minimum age requirement, she had completed all the credits for the professional teaching plan and obtained the title of "Honors Bachelor" degree.

There were a lot of rumors surrounding Yu Pella at that time, and the unpleasant nickname was just one of them. Although these people were all punished in the end without exception, it also made Pella give up the idea of ​​continuing her studies.

In an environment where practice is worse than theory, instead of staying in the pyramid faction formed among the student group, it is better to join the Silver Mane Iron Guard in person to prove yourself.

Pera also explained this point to the examiner very frankly during the interview.

Even the fact that he was helping out in Shiluwa's band was probably known to others, but the adult still looked indifferent and didn't care about it.

Noticing the dimness in the girl's eyes, Wendy thought for a moment, then took off the Cecilia flower from her hat and handed it to her.

"...This flower looks unfamiliar. Could it be something you bought from Changxia?"

Despite the cold winter, flowers are still available in Belloberg. However, due to the strict cultivation conditions, the prices remain high. People usually only go to the flower shop to buy some during the summer for important occasions or as gifts for family, loved ones, or friends.

Of course, there are some relatively cheap flowers, such as sunflowers or colorful flowers, which are inexpensive and beautiful, and you can buy them back to enjoy them yourself.

Pyrrha had also learned a great deal about flowers from the shop assistant, Vraska, as they were close friends. But she had never before remembered a flower that looked like this, or even had a fragrance that held a soothing, magical quality.

Wendy also looked nostalgic about this.

"It's called Cecilia. It's a white wildflower that blooms silently on the quiet clifftops. In my heart, it's the most beautiful flower in my hometown."

"Is that so..." Perhaps because she was secretly delighted by the romantic atmosphere and concerned about Wendy's homesick expression, Pera was hesitating whether to accept such a precious gift.

"Don't worry. It's not that delicate. Just give it a little water, a little soil, and a little sincerity, and it will grow well."

Wendy enthusiastically put it into the other person's hand, and then spoke softly.

"More importantly, you need it more than I do right now."

"So, what does its flower language mean?"

"Hey, please allow me to keep this a secret for now."

"Well, after all, I'll just give it back to you—!"

The angry girl did not return the flower, but hugged it and the book in her arms, holding it close to her heart.

Flowers, have you ever heard that hot and joyful heartbeat?

Chapter 53 About Mother

After the previous episode, Pera was in a much better mood and walked slowly along the street with Wendy again.

She no longer had the feeling of racking her brains to find common topics with Wendy, but instead seriously discussed some knowledge points on how to gather intelligence.

For Wendy, these things are actually dispensable. After all, as long as the wind in the world has not stopped, no secret can be hidden from him.

However, being able to do so is never the same as wanting to do so.

If possible, Wendy would still be reluctant to use this ability.

Moreover, having more beautiful memories that belong to Wendy herself makes this journey even more precious.

While teaching and strolling, the two arrived at a somewhat deserted square, where the Eternal Winter Monument standing in the center reflected a faint light.

Pera also interrupted the teaching at the right time. Although Wendy was smart and could remember the key points she said and apply them to other situations, instilling too much knowledge would be counterproductive.

Of course, what’s more important is that she also wants to share a secret that belongs only to her with Wendy.

When she looked at the Eternal Winter Stele, the emotions in her heart seemed particularly strong.

"Pella seems to like this place very much. This is where we first met, right?"

Wendy said in a light tone.

"That's true. But you were really bold back then..."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of resentment in Pera's expression.

"They actually sang such an unauthorized song in front of the district officials."

"Hey, I'm new here and I don't know anyone here!"

In response, Wendy just smiled playfully.

"Yes, if you were born and raised in Beloberg, you probably wouldn't be like this."

Pella shook her head, feeling sad about some of the phenomena that had arisen in this city that had stagnated for too long.
