I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

"Emma, ​​tell me your wish."

On a very ordinary afternoon, the silver-haired boy seemed to want to make himself less bored, unexpectedly, he picked a person who happened to run past him.

Asked by "Brother Christmas Sleigh", the little blond girl who was just running over to ask him to play games with him was stunned, and after a while she said, "Uh...but Brother Eric, today is not Christmas. ?”

It cannot be ruled out that Eric just had a sudden whim.

No, although on him, this possibility seems to be quite high - but the fact is, he asked quite seriously this time.

Putting aside all the (pretended) impatience in the past when facing the little ghosts, the silver-haired boy came down from the roof he had occupied for a long time, determined to get an affirmative answer...

Still not right!

Because of Emma's perspective, Brother Eric, who was originally standing on the high roof, only flickered a few times.

Because it was shaking so fast, it was as if he hadn't moved at all, he was there one second before, and he was still there the next second.

Emma almost suspected that she was dazzled just now, and those few flashes - including the shadow that swayed in a place very close to her for a moment, were all wrong illusions.

This is not surprising.

After all, Emma is just an ordinary human little girl, who can barely see a little phantom is considered a gift.

Eric did come down.

But after less than a second, he returned to the original place.

"I wanted to have a serious conversation, but when I got to the kid, I realized that the kid was half a head taller than me"—what a shame and a shock!

I can only blame him for seldom caring about these details.

If you can stand on a high place, you will never come down, stay with the little ghosts, and never be at the same level as them... Am I mistaken, the little girls can grow so tall now? !

Emma, ​​who didn't know where she had offended anyone, was still confused: "Huh? Hey? Did I read it wrong? It should be..."

It's a good thing she doesn't know, which is a good thing.

If you don't know what happened, you don't have to face the anger of a man whose self-esteem has been hit to a certain extent.

"It doesn't matter what Christmas." The only remaining details that can be discerned now are this quick and hard tone, "Just tell me what you want!"

Emma (froze, then whispered): "Brother Eric, you stand so high, my neck is about to break...Okay, okay, is it my wish?"

"Yes."

Eric said.

It is not necessary, and he will never take the initiative to explain his true thoughts to others - he is such an awkward (crossed out) rebellious man, and the psychological activities of others are completely out of his consideration.

However, it may be unintentional or just a random reason.

"What did you just call, 'Eric - Big Brother'?"

"That's right, Big Brother Santa's sleigh is too long. After everyone's unanimous decision, we plan to call it like this... Doesn't Brother Eric sound more affectionate?"

"Well."

Eric did not express any opinion on this title, nor did he have a clear preference for it.

He just lowered his eyes not so obviously, and was silent for a while, then, he opened his eyes that were still bright and dazzling disapprovingly.

"When did it change... Forget it, it sounds better than other messy names."

"Hey, right~"

"In that case - give you one more chance."

Emma (dumb): "Huh?"

The girl didn't understand, how did the topic come here, didn't it just be a more friendly name?

But Eric obviously still thinks that there is no need to explain her doubts.

He said to himself: "I can add one more wish to your wish. What you want, just say it, and I will listen to it first."

"...So, the chance to realize your wish becomes two at once?"

The answer is yes.

It seemed like a great thing that fell from the sky, but Emma was a little embarrassed.

She rested her chin on her hand, and hesitated for a while between the two options of "Is Brother Eric serious or teasing her"-then she was too lazy to struggle.

"Let's think about it, wishes or something...um, ummm——"

"The first wish, I want three more wishes!"

Eric raised his eyebrows: "What!"

"Hahaha~hahahaha! I'm just kidding." Under the roof, Emma was laughing so hard that she was holding her stomach and was about to fall to the ground.

Xu Shi was keenly aware of the approach of the death light wave, she laughed a few times, then immediately regained her expression, and stood upright solemnly.

Emma, ​​who became serious, continued to think, and soon thought of her first wish that she really wanted to be fulfilled.

"I... want to travel with everyone!"

"Travel?" Eric was a little surprised, but after thinking about it later, he didn't find it strange anymore.

Emma nodded heavily, and her expression looked very serious: "Yes, let's start from here with everyone in the orphanage, and take a look outside where we have never been before..."

"Just like the cute girl knight in yesterday's story!"

The stories told these days seem to have had a considerable impact on the children in the orphanage.

That's right, not to mention the story itself is very interesting, and the characters appearing in it are especially brilliant and won the hearts of children.

For example, the most popular character here is none other than the protagonist, the blond girl who is both a king and a knight.

Emma really liked her.

Part of the reason is that the two of them have similar personalities and similar appearance characteristics, which inevitably makes people have a natural affection.

Of course, there is also a part of the reason—Emma yearns for the blonde girl for no reason, and has almost "longing" feelings for her for no reason.

"The vast world outside, I really want to see it with my own eyes. Well, although I can definitely see it after the age of 12, but at that time, I can't be with my most important people."

At the age of 12, he was adopted by an outside family, left the orphanage, and embarked on the established journey that every orphanage child will set foot on.

Emma is really looking forward to that future, yes.

However, this doesn't affect her, at the same time, she has "fear" about that future.

Because at that time, she will say goodbye to her dearest person.

Regardless of whether we can meet again in the future, there will be regrets that cannot be perfectly made up, just like a fragmented "circle".

It can be seen that although Emma is only an 11-year-old child with a seemingly carefree temperament, she is actually not slow at all.

From the big smile on the blonde girl's face, there is no trace of sadness or hesitation, let alone any shadow

"Walk freely in the countryside and fields, and in the streets of cities and towns, from time to time he will act chivalrously, and from time to time slay monsters—ah, so handsome!"

As Emma said, her eyes became very bright: "It's just that she and her companions have a total of four people. We can have a group of people. If we can really have this day, it will be so lively."

The words say so.

Of course Eric could tell that the little girl's tone was not absolutely optimistic.

"What's the matter." This time it was his turn to stuff his dissatisfaction into his voice: "Do you think I can't help you realize this wish?"

"No, no—" Emma quickly denied it, fearing that she would speak too slowly and make the young man who insisted on standing on top of the backlight angry.

Her words were sonorous, deeply convinced: "How could it be, Brother Eric, you are so amazing, if you think about it, you can definitely do anything!"

Eric was a little surprised that he had such a strong confidence.

"Even I can't say that myself—well, yes, it is."

There was a brief turning point in the middle, but he didn't know what he thought of on the spur of the moment, so he quickly changed his mind.

Maybe it's because the gaze from below is really hot enough, and it really pours complete confidence into it.

Eric had no idea how the brat's confidence in him had come about, it was completely inexplicable.

But he felt that he definitely deserved this trust.

Therefore, the young man said: "As long as I think, I can do anything. It's just a small wish of yours, so why hesitate?"

"Hey……"

Emma said that although she wanted to go out and have a look, she couldn't be willful.

It's too unrealistic for everyone to sneak out to travel together, and it will cause trouble for mother.

"Do you want to go?"

"I want to, of course I want to! But—"

"That's fine."

"what?"

"At the end of the day."

The young man on the top seemed to laugh lightly, but the voice was uncertain.

Clearly, there is only the conclusion that became high afterwards: "Just give me an excuse that can be justified and justified--I'm so stupid!"
