185 – Scene 185# Wendy’s Prayer
*
At that time, Wendy, who broke up with Sia and Rachel on the excuse of going home first, arrived at the office of the chairman in the main building.
“Excuse me… ?”
I tried, but I still didn’t get an answer.
The lights were off in the office, and it was quiet. Dusk darkness fell everywhere, but thanks to the bright light coming in through the windows, it didn’t seem necessary to turn on the lights.
“Wow… .”
Looking outside through the window of her office, Wendy involuntarily admired it.
The director’s office was located at the highest point in this school, so I knew that the view was truly outstanding.
Wendy’s admiration was that the night view was so beautiful that it was incomparable to the scenery she had seen in her office the other day.
The petals of the hwahyang lotus, which had begun to wither, were embroidering the campus like lanterns.
On one day of the year, I heard cheers from people who gathered to see this scenery that lights up as flowers wither.
“Even the Count… . Will you be among them… ?”
Wendy looked down at the people laughing and chatting with her chin in her hand.
I started hearing cheerful music.
Come to think of it, did they say that the time of the ball is when the lotus flowers start to glow?
In other words, the prom has just begun. Looking closely, I could see people dancing in pairs already.
Wendy’s chest began to swell with anticipation.
“Today is… .”
The reason she came here was that this was the meeting place with Tristan today.
I looked at the time and it was just past 7pm.
There are now two hours left until the appointment time.
Slowly, she must prepare.
“Joe, okay… .”
Wendy caught her breath and took a coin out of her pocket.
It was a lemon-colored coin, a gift from God, and a coin that could cause miracles.
“God… .”
Wendy held the mysterious coin and prayed earnestly.
From now on, what she was going to do was impossible without God’s help.
“Please show yourself in front of me… .”
“I called… ?”
“Wow?! Shut up?!”
Wendy was taken aback by the voice that came from so close. Then he hit the back of the head on the wooden chair behind him.
“Aww… . Mmm, my head hurts… .”
“It’s fine… ?”
In front of Wendy’s eyes as she stroked the back of her head, a girl with lemon-colored hair was standing in her nightgown. It was none other than the trustworthy god who supported her.
“Liri… .”
“Ugh… . long time no see. Prospective warrior mamang… .”
Lily rubbed her eyes as if she had just woken up.
Just like the last time I saw him, he seemed like a rookie who really likes to sleep.
“So what happened… ?”
“I-I want to be an adult!”
“… … Uh?”
Lily tilted her head.
“Damn. Can you tell me one more time… ? what do you want to be… ?”
“I want to become an adult. Lily.”
“Ugh… . I didn’t hear that well… .”
“Ah, can’t you use coins to become an adult… ?”
“Uh… ?”
Wendy got up from her knees and cautiously asked Lili.
“Yeah… . I heard that you can make miracles with this coin that Lili gave you. So, can I become an adult with this…? ?”
“Uh. can be… .”
“Really?!”
Only then did Wendy sweep her chest.
I was worried that it might not work, but I’m really glad I did.
Lili yawned and asked Wendy.
“Huh… . How old would you like to be… ?”
“uh… . That, about 2, 20 years old… Yo?”
“Then roughly… . Umm… .”
As if calculating something, Lili shook her head and said.
“About 1 billion coins is possible.”
“Yeah?! A billion coins?!”
“Ugh… .”
“Oh my gosh… . I didn’t expect to need that much… .”
Wendy, who hadn’t even thought of the amount, couldn’t help but be surprised.
She has 100 coins in total. It was an amount that could not be matched with 1 billion coins, and there was no option.
“A miracle that moves time is likely to cause problems with the law of causation… . That’s why you need a large amount of coins… .”
“ah… .”
Lily’s explanation made it difficult for Wendy to hide her gloom.
In fact, you didn’t have to be an adult to meet Tristan. Because of his personality, there was a high possibility that Wendy wouldn’t care much whether she was an adult or a child.
It’s just that Wendy wanted to become an adult because she was nervous.
The anxiety that someone might steal Tristan and the sad feeling of wanting to be seen as a member of the opposite sex, not a child, incited Wendy.
Lily opened her mouth, perhaps understanding her feelings or feeling sorry for Wendy’s expression.
“or not… . It’s a little expedient, but there’s also a way to release the hero’s power… .”
“The strength of a warrior… ?”
“Uh… .”
Lili picked up the coin from Wendy’s hand.
“Imagine once Maman became a hero… . How does Maman want to save the world… ?”
“Yes?”
“You mean you feel inadequate in your present form… . If so, think about what kind of appearance is the most ideal hero for Maman… . Because the power of this coin will make Maman like that… .”
Lili slowly but clearly explained to Wendy how to use the coins.
“You don’t have to spend coins through God… . This coin is up to you to use. You can make a wish for yourself in exchange for a coin, but you can also use the power contained in the coin to create a miracle… .”
“Is it okay for me to create a miracle myself… ?”
“What are you talking about… ? Hope.”
Lili smiled as if she had just heard a joke.
“Heroes are originally beings who can cause miracles… .”
“ah… .”
Wendy seemed to know somehow.
It reminded me of making rain on dry land due to drought when I was a child. Isn’t that the miracle Lily is talking about?
“If you use a coin like that, it’s okay that gods like us don’t have to step out and touch the causal rate. However, as much as you directly use the power of the coin, you must take full responsibility. Be sure to keep that in mind… .”
“Yes… . yes! Oh, but Lily-sama… .”
“Uh… ?”
Wendy nodded heavily and asked cautiously.
“Is it okay if I use this coin as I please… ? I’m not writing to save anyone… .”
“That coin is gone now… . Whatever you use, it’s up to you… . It’s okay as long as you don’t use it only to bully or kill someone… . Maman doesn’t think so… ?”
“Hick?! Oh no! No!”
“Then it’s okay… . I don’t think a pure warrior like Maman is bad either. More than anything… . haaam… .”
Lili said with a protracted yawn.
“Because it is the privilege of children to be able to dream of becoming adults… . I understand…”
“Liri… .”
Lily looks at Wendy with sleepy eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Wendy realized. That Lily already knew this would happen.
For what purpose did Wendy make such a wish? With what kind of heart do you wish for such a wish?
“It’s a good time… . There’s nothing more beautiful than a child in love… .”
“I am not pretty… .”
“Uh… ? Did you ever say that the Count wasn’t pretty?”
“Oh no?! The Count didn’t say that, but… .”
said Wendy, wiggling her fingers.
“Do I have to say that he sees me as cute like a younger brother or daughter… . The Count, please stroke my hair and be nice to me… .”
“Then it’s not good… ?”
“Of course I like it! The Count looks at me cutely… . I don’t hate that… . Something… . There are times when I feel sad… .”
“Um… . Maman is… . You want to hear that the count is pretty… ?”
“Yeah… . ah! Well, if only 10 more years… . When I grow up… You said you would be prettier than anyone else! lol… . I’ve already heard it once… .”
Wendy scratched her head and laughed.
Seeing that simple smile, Lili’s half-closed eyes immediately opened.
In those eyes, there was curiosity and interest toward Wendy.
“Yes… . Since you called me, why don’t you show me first… ?”
“uh? yes?”
“The image of an adult that Maman wants to become… .”
Lili took out a coin from her bosom and handed it to Wendy.
“show me. Uh?”
