Wish Pass Office Insurance Record

Applicant: Rosy

Origin: Florawish

I am a human stylist who loves Faewish Sprites. Although I’m still young, I’m definitely the person in all of Florawish who has made the most wishes to visit the Wishing Woods! Please let me see it, even if it’s just from a distance! The scenery of the Wishing Woods is sure to spark my creativity!

Application Result: Rejected

Reason for Rejection:

This young human girl, on several occasions before formally submitting her Pass Permit application, attempted to infiltrate the Faewish Sprite community and nearly uncovered our closely guarded secrets. Her trustworthiness is still in question!

Help I’ve Turned Into a Maskwing

Please note that this story is based on true events, and names have been changed to protect the privacy of relevant patients.

When Papeda woke up, he found that he had become a Maskwing, lying in an empty Sol Fruit shell. He was shocked to see antennae drooping before his eyes. After taking a closer look, he realized they looked very similar to the mask brushes that customers would receive for free when buying jelly clay masks. Without having to exert himself to look back, Papeda knew that the thick, shiny, and slimy paste covering his back was caused by those very same jelly clay masks.

He wanted to climb out of the Sol Fruit shell, but a sudden gust of wind forced him to cling tightly to the inner wall of the shell with all six of his strange new appendages. The feeling of leaping into the air felt familiar to him, just like the face before him – it was the face of Bobobo from the Inspection Center, only ten times, no, fifty times larger. It didn’t take long for Papeda to connect the dots – the shell he was in had been chosen as a protective shell of a Delicious Wishing Orb.

Maskwings don’t fly, nor do they talk. The only thing Papeda could do was freeze in place and try to recall what he had done. Why had he turned into a Maskwing? And why a Maskwing, not a Mani Beetle? Then a splash of cold water from a stream hit Papeda, giving him a jolt. Someone was cleaning the shell. However, no one had discovered the drenched Maskwing inside. Poor Papeda!

He opened his mouth in an attempt to scream, but to no avail. A white, shiny orb was already being stuffed inside the shell. Great. He was about to become one with a soon-to-be Delicious Wishing Orb! And what would happen to him then? He’d probably be thrown into a frying pan somewhere before getting eaten. If a Delicious Wishing Orb had a Maskwing inside, wouldn’t it become a Bizarre Wishing Orb instead? If he, despaired as he was, made up a part of the Wishing Orb, wouldn’t it become a Desperation Orb? If a Faewish Sprite ate it, wouldn’t it..?

“Wake up! Wake up!”

“Dr. Melibo, he’s the one… the last patient with a mild case of Desperation Syndrome. He’s been cured, but he still insists that the Wishing Orbs he eats have a strange unsettling taste. It’s gotten to the point where he’s having nightmares every single night because of it!”

Thesis on the Energy Storage Performance of the Wish Battery: Abstract

The research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of various materials in enhancing the charging performance of Wish Batteries. The materials include, and are not limited to, dyes derived from Sol Fruit and Stellar Fruit, as well as components sourced from Maskwings and Mani Beetles. Please refer to the [Methodology] section for details.

By tracing the origins of the Wish Battery and examining the Faewish Sprites’ historical use of electricity, this research aims to provide a clear and concise overview of past advancements in Wish Battery technology. This retrospective will lay a solid foundation for developing future theories on how to further improve the performance of this technology.

The Faewish Sprites were aware of the concept of “electricity” during the Age of Divinity, when gods roamed the world, many wielding the power of lightning. As the descendants of The Wishing One, the Faewish Sprites witnessed the gods’ divine powers in action during conflicts.

However, that power was the Whim of the gods, not a practical source of energy. The discovery of usably electricity in everyday life came by accident during the forging of the Sacred Blade. While refining the resin for the blasé, it was noticed that rapidly rubbing the resin caused it to attract light and delicate Hooded Feathers. This rather insignificant electrical force, dubbed “static” by human scientists, could discharge considerable electrical energy if its electrical charge was stored properly. Inspired by the Croakers’ wish to “increase the rainfall so the sound of raindrops on lotus leaves could be used as percussion”, Lytonbo, who later became the first director of the Wishcraft Lab, went on to invent the first Ability Outfit capable of converting water’s kinetic energy into electricity. Building on this breakthrough, he formulated a new theory based on the way Wishing Orbs store wishes, which he then used to create the first generation of Whimtechs capable of storing small amounts of electricity. Those Whimtechs were the precursors of modern Wish Batteries.

As the Wishcraft Lab was established and evolved, the electricity-generating Ability Outfit became one of its major research projects. Nowadays, waterwheels have become a common sight across the Wishing Woods. The Wish Batteries have also been improved several times. A standard Wish Battery can now store enough electricity to power the machines in the Inspection Center to sort six Wishing Orbs at a time.

Cleaning Guidelines

Cleaning Wishing Orbs is not just an important part of the assembly line work, it’s also a representation of taking wishes seriously. Therefore, the following cleaning guidelines have been established:

Three Cleaning Guarantees

Guarantee that the Wishing Orbs to be cleaned have passed strict quality inspections. Do not waste a drop of water on Bizarre Wishing Orbs or Desperation Orbs.

Guarantee that the cleaning foam is evenly applied to the surface of the Wishing Orbs. Let the foam sit for a while before thoroughly rinsing it off.

Guarantee that the cleaned Wishing Orbs are uncontaminated before transporting them to the next line for packaging and delivery.

Three Things to Avoid During Cleaning

Never be inattentive: Adopt the attitude of the rightful descendants of The Wishing One. Use the specially supplied eco-friendly plant-based detergent developed by the Wishcraft Lab. Work up a fine and gentle foam with a small brush. Cleaning is a gentle care process and an opportunity to better understand the wishes!

Never sneak a taste: Cleaning is an honorable job that serves all Faewish Sprites, and we must not betray the trust that the Wish Master has placed in us. During the cleaning process, do not sneak a taste of the Wishing Orbs.

Never be messy: Keep your appearance neat and presentable. Maintaining a clean and tidy appearance at work will leave a good impression on everyone, ensuring that people have confidence in the Wishing Orbs we clean!

Lessons From Sorting Wishing Orbs

The Wishing One has bestowed upon us, his trusted kin, a unique talent that allows us to rely on listening and feeling to judge the taste of the Wishing Orbs.

However, despair is a cunning emotion (humans can be unwittingly defeated by despair, a phenomenon known in Florawish as “the final yarn that broke the Floof’s back”), and the taste of Desperation Orbs is rather bland, making them easy to consume by mistake. The historical outbreaks of Desperation Syndrome were tragic events caused by this very issue.

In response, the Wish Master established the Desperation Syndrome Research Center, which was the predecessor of today’s Delicious Wish Clinic, and developed more rigorous testing methods for detecting and screening Desperation Orbs. This led to the establishment of the Wish Inspection Center. Today, sorting accuracy exceeds 90%, and Desperation Syndrome has nearly vanished as a result.

Working here makes me feel like I am constantly fulfilling the mission of The Wishing One’s descendants. In the past, our ancestors mistakenly conveyed sweet, honeyed words disguised as love to our kind and righteous deity. If there had been such thorough screening back then, the evil god would not have succeeded. Although the past cannot be changed, lifelong dedication to work and sorting wishes can make up for it, even if just a little.

To completely dispel the shadow of Desperation Syndrome, we must never let our guard down!

The Auditing Station is a core department that’s accessible only to staff members and those with special access permits issued by Director Boboda. Visitors with general wish entry permits are not allowed to enter. Be especially cautious of abstinent Faewish Sprites who advocate not consuming any Wishing Orbs, as they may interfere with our work!

Annual Report on the Research Institute’s Whimtech Research

Afubo’s Diary

Weather: Sunny. Mood: Quite happy. No, extremely happy, but with a slight amount of bitterness.

When I first heard my brother was still alive, I was overjoyed, but I couldn’t allow myself to get too happy. I was afraid of being disappointed, afraid it was just a dream, and afraid everyone had gotten it wrong.

That was until today, when my brother really came home.

He’s grown so much… His eyes have become so unfamiliar. He’s no longer the child who used to cling to me, whining and calling out in pain.

He doesn’t want to talk about what he’s been through all these years. I know, that even during his suffering, he never forgot about me and did a lot for me. Otherwise, the Paladins wouldn’t have given me special treatment. Those Delicious Wishing Orbs, my so-called hope… it must be because of my brother’s efforts.

He keeps to himself, refusing to speak with other Faewish Sprites. I think that after all these years, working as Lord Chigda’s puppet, he’s done too many things that went against his morals.

It’s okay, as long as he’s home. I’ve already scheduled an appointment with Dr. Charlobo for counseling. My brother’s wounds will be healed with love and time.

Diary Pages of an Unknown Stylist

It’s unbelievable that among The Wishing One’s descendants, the leaders of who were supposed to protect wishes have become so corrupt. For the sake of their own survival, they have resorted to promoting truly evil research. They are fueling the growth of despair and sinking deeper into the abyss.

We cannot allow this situation to proceed. Darn it! If I had not been sabotaged, with my sense of style, how could I possibly be beneath the so-called Wish Master who lacks any true Whim? He’s nothing more than a puppet of The Dark…

They won’t allow me near any materials that could be used to make clothing, afraid that I might find a chance to fight back.

They conduct cruel experiments on me, torturing my body.

Even bathing in this moonlight is a rare luxury. My thoughts have never been clearer. Thinking of my daughter waiting for me at home, despair could never rob me of my sanity. Even in this dire situation, I will never submit. The unyielding elegance within my resolute and noble soul is my last ace.

Ruins

Note from an Unknown Faewish Sprite

Captain Kuroda would absolutely never do such a thing. He has always been the most upright and devout. How could he possibly steal the sacred relics left behind by The Wishing One?

Although I’ve been retired for many years due to being injured, and no longer spend my days side by side with the captain, we fought together for so long that I know him very well, and I know for sure that he would never change.

Chigda refuses to listen to my defense. Well, it makes sense. After all, he’s the one who benefits the most from it. Becoming the new Wish Master.. he’s always been very ambitious.

…

I never imagined that the next time I would see the captain, it would be under such circumstances. To come up with such a vile ritual, and using children as bait – I fear the future Wish Master may commit even more outrageous acts.

In the vast Wishing Woods, only the Swordsmith Ruins still hold the captain’s presence. Sacred Knight, if you witness this unjust tragedy, please cast down your light and dispel the darkness that lingers here.

New Member’s Diary

Today marks my first day with the Paladins. Although the Esselings have been causing chaos everywhere lately, and my parents are a bit concerned that, as a rookie, I might not be up to the challenge, all I feel is excitement! After all, my captain is none other than the legendary Kuroda, the Faewish Sprite stylist I’ve admired since the day I first woke! He’s just as the rumors say – powerful and with a sharp temper – but without a doubt, a fantastic captain. When Chigda and I reported in, he got punished for not wearing the uniform and had to fly fifty laps. But I accidentally saw something – I caught a glimpse of Captain Kuroda, looking grumpy, and secretly handing him a massive Delicious Wishing Orb.

…

Today, the captain took us to meet the commander – the renowned Knight Heurta! Her armor gleamed like the sun, and when the light hit my head, I could only stand there, staring in awe. Dad, mom, I’ve been chosen! Knight Heurta believes that after a bit more training, I’ll be ready to become a vanguard soldier and face the Esselings head-on! And every vanguard soldier, even reserves like me gets to wear Faewish Sprite-sized armor, crafted by Knight Heurta herself. I heard she has two entire cabinets filled with collectibles just our size, all sewn together by her own hands, stitch by stitch. So, making armor like this for us will be a walk in the park for her! With a commander like her, I feel completely at ease. Whether it’s the Desperate Vines or The Dark, I’m ready to charge forward with all the courage I can muster!

Full-System Inspection Log Before Battle Day

Maintenance Item: Iron Squirrel Guardian Statue

Maintenance Details: Testing the statue’s enemy identification function, target-locking speed, and tracking of moving targets.

Maintenance Results:

After incorporating the latest Whim mechanism, the Iron Squirrel’s gaze has finally reached the desired accuracy.

The outer shell will undergo final reinforcement before dawn. The objective is that even if the last Iron Squirrel disappears from Miraland, the Iron Squirrel Statue will remain forever, guarding the swordsmith.

As for the flaw of being unable to distinguish between friend and foe, that can only be addressed after the war, with Captain Kuroda finding a solution. Fortunately, our Faewish Knights are well-trained and can nimbly avoid this issue. As for the forces of The Dark, they will surely suffer heavy casualties!

Timi’s Beauty Lab

Business Correspondence

Dear President,

In your letter, you expressed your wish to collaborate with my personal brand and promote our products across Miraland. I understand that it showed your recognition of my brand and your sincerity in creating a joint venture. I’m sure it’s the dream of many cosmetics merchants to work with a major consortium such as the Starhail Federation. However, after carefully reviewing your proposed terms and conditions, I’m afraid I have to regretfully decline this wonderful opportunity.

Frankly, “opening up the mass market” and “increasing sales and profit margins” do align with my interests to some extent. The cost of developing beauty products, as you may know, often exceeds my expectations. Take, for example, my decision to rent a farm in the Wishing Woods to cultivate ingredients – a choice that wasn’t in my original plan. However, I digress! Despite my need for more Blings and having lost a considerable amount of hair writing flyers, your plan of “making outfits that appeal to as many people as possible” and “aiming for small profits and quick returns” is a hundred Silken Lakes away from my pursuit of creating personalized beauty products. I believe there’s a fundamental difference in our approaches. For you, beauty products are a commodity – something to generate profits. But for me, beauty products are a manifestation of creativity and artistic expression. I can’t sacrifice the wonderful possibilities I can achieve with beauty products in exchange for more Blings and higher commercial value.

With this in mind, I think it’s best for us to maintain our current friendly relationship. Attached to this letter is a sample of my latest creation, the “Dark Circle Concealer for Night Owls.” It was inspired by the serene and relaxing life I’ve enjoyed in Wishfield, and I hope it brings you some comfort in alleviating the fatigue that surely comes with your role as the Starhail Federation president!

Yours sincerely,

Timis

Formal Attire for All Faewish Sprites: A Fragrance Review

This one may not be as noticeable as the others, but it certainly has its own unique charm!

It greets you softly, with notes reminiscent of the compassion in The Wishing One’s gaze. Then it turns into something that resembles a slightly melancholy, yet utterly delicious wish. It’s a scent you can linger on, like the fresh sweetness of morning dew. It’ll make you feel like a teardrop shed by the last pure-blue Glimmergrass in the world. Finally, the fragrance smoothly transitions with notes of chilled wood. It’s a smell that’s etched deep in the memories of the Faewish Sprites who have lived in the Grand Millewish Tree for years. Spray a bit of it in your wardrobe and it will combine with your natural fragrance to form a dreamy scent. Furthermore, the fragrance itself may not be prominent, but its presence will not vanish completely in open air. With this scent, you will never go unnoticed, and those who cross paths with you will liken you to a fleeting shooting star!

The Science of Applying Eyeshadow: Laying the Foundation

Previously, we compared eyeshadows to “fields that cultivate possibilities for beauty products.” Using this analogy, we need to tend to these fields and make sure the soil is fertile to ensure a grand harvest of colors. That’s right, the subject this time is – applying eyeshadow primers!

Do you like Sizzblooms? Their delicate flowers bloom only at night, and I believe it’s because they possess a unique qisdom in how they combine colors. Their golden pollen shines especially bright under the night sky. Drawing inspiration from Sizzblooms, we can learn that using the proper primer is essential for making your eyeshadow pop.

The Faewish Sprites are natural born testbeds for eyeshadows, because their skin tones resemble the night sky, which makes them perfect for applying shining eyeshadows with glitter. (As I’ve previously mentioned, the new “Flowing Shooting Stars Liquid Eyeshadow” was designed specifically for them!” However, before we summon the shooting stars, it’s highly recommended to employ the following technique. First, apply “Transculcent Nightsky Foundation” to create a soft, ethereal complexion, just like a clear night sky, for a lighter makeup base. Then, apply “Black Hole! Deep Socket Primer” around your eyes to get a darker shade as a foundation for adding star glitter later. With this layering technique, your eye makeup will sparkle and give you the most mesmerizing gaze, like a starry night!

Swordsmith Ruins

Ancient Tales of a Sword Knight: Preface

I never intended to write this preface for the chronicle of swords, despite dedicating my life to documenting all I know about them and the fascinating ancedotes I’ve collected. This book could easily be called my life’s work. However, I find it unnecessary for modern readers to comment on the famous swords and heroes chronicled herein, for these tales belong to the age of gods, blood, and fire.

Yet, Knight Amelia, who guarded Cicia alongside me, insisted that I share my thoughts here. She argued that my ahcievements in battling The Dark could add depth to this work, encouraging others to delve into its pages. In this age of strife between light and dark, if tales of ancient swords can inspire bravery and the will to fight, compelling others to draw their blades and defend this world as descendants of the gods, then it would be a wonderful thing indeed. Thus, I have agreed to offer my reflections, hoping they will help readers interpret these tales through the lens of my own experiences.

This book records the deeds of over a dozen well-known swordsmen and their swords. These tales spurred me in my training and urged me to strive for greater heights, accompanying me on my journey to becoming the Sacred Knight who stood against The Dark. However, as glorious as these deeds may seem, one must recognize that the journeys had twists and turns that led the characters through some very dark places, and that it’s greatly advised to think critically when learning from their examples.

Furthermore, one must not place too much emphasis on the role the sword plays in a knight’s endeavors. It is the knight who gives soul to the sword. Before the “Sacred Blade” was forged, I had already slain The Dark plaguing the Silken Lake with an unremarkable sword. It was because of my accomplishment that The Wishing One rewarded me with a divine miracle, guiding me to join His descendants in the Wishing Woods in their effort to destroy the Desperate Vines and vanquish The Dark. It was then that I forged that unparalleled blade of hope with the help of the Faewish Sprites. I therefore believe that there’s no sword more sacred than a knight’s chivalrous spirit.

Ancient Tales of a Sword Knight: The Broken Blade

“The Broken Blade,” said to be the sword wielded by the famous Headless Knight in ancient times. Once a crown prince of a small kingdom, the Headless Knight lost everything to an enemy kingdom. The Dark tempted him with the promise of restoring his reign, a promise made under false pretenses. In his desperation, the crown prince accepted The Dark’s offer. And so, it granted him a sword with destructive powers and commanded him to take the life of the enemy kingdom’s king. Inscribed upon the blade was The Dark’s curse “This blade must draw blood once unsheathed. Its wielder will become the cruelest monster when the sword’s thirst is satisfied.”

The crown prince infiltrated the capital of the enemy kingdom with the sword and plunged it into the tyrant’s chest. As blood flowed along the blade, the crown prince felt the curse consuming his mind. In a moment of clarity, he shattered the blade and cleaved off his own head with its broken edge, lifting The Dark’s curse at the same moment it was fulfilled. According to legend, the crown prince became an undying matry at that moment, crafting a suit of armor with an ancient design. Some claim to have encountered this enigmatic knight in the wilderness, where he has saved them from The Dark with his damaged sword. His suit of armor remains empty, and his head remains nowhere to be found. As tales of his righteous deeds spread, people began to share legends of him and his sword, which was given the name, “The Broken Blade.”

Written Note: How was it a proper revenge when he used the power of The Dark? It was mere luck that the Headless Knight didn’t become a monster. I must remember to never put an ounce of trust in The Dark and its false promises. To vanquish The Dark, one must only rely on the light within and possess an iron will.

Kuroda’s Farewell Letter

To Heurta, my dear comrade-in-arms,

The Desperate Vines have been dealt with. You have now fully completed The Wishing One’s task. I suppose it’s time for us to say our goodbyes, for I know you have many important matters to attend to. I always found it ridiculous how humans would rather write down important words in long-winded sentences instead of conveying them face to face. But now, moments before our final farewell, I have to understand their reasoning, if only a little. Perhaps writing farewell letters is another way for humans to convey their wishes, not to The Wishing One, but to the recipient. And that wish is “remember me and take care.”

I can still recall our first fight together. A Dark Apostle nearly tore your right arm off, yet your grip on your sword never loosened. Your silhouette in the golden sunlight remains vividly etched in my mind. While we worried about your injury, you were already thinking about forging a blade from a monster’s horn. I remember calling you silly for that, but I suppose I should tell you how I really felt. My first thought was, “What a gallant knight.” Having someone like you as a comrade brought me immense joy, even when I was given a beating by The Dark. Of course, we eventually pushed them back with the new sword we forged!

I rarely expressed my gratitude to you, but I remember every moment when I thought, “I’m glad you were here.” There was that time when we found ourselves surrounded with no Wishing Orbs to sustain us. You made a wish back then, remember? You said, “I hope there will only be delicious wishes in this world for Kuroda and the Faewish Sprites to protect after we’ve eliminated The Dark.” That was the most profound and delicious wish I’d ever had, and it motivated me to break out of the encirclement with you. I believe it’s time for you to venture out and ensure that more delicious wishes fill the world while I remain here, running for the position of Wish Master to safeguard those wishes. It’s the only way I can honor your wish back then.

You’ve always been bossy, headstrong, and serious. I’m sure you’ll be very bored when I’m not there to bicker with you, right? But I believe the future of the Sacred Knight will be wonderfully bright and the light of glory will only make your blade even sharper than ever! One day, we’ll reunite in a better world.

Forever your comrade, Kuroda

Desperation Syndrome Patient Records

[Desperation Syndrome Patient] No. 001 <><><>

[Due to extenutating circumstances, the patient’s name cannot be disclosed and will be referred to as “Patient No. 1” in the records.]

Condition:

Weakness, fatigue, and severe pain throughout the body. Unlike other patients, Patient No. 1’s symptoms developed extremely rapidly, and there were even signs of the body’s continuous swelling.

Treatment Process:

According to the latest breakthrough research from the Desperation Syndrome Research Center, the severity of Patient No. 1’s condition is likely due to the consumption of a large number of Desperation orbs. The actual amount consumed probably far exceeds what the patient reported.

Delicious Wishing Orb Therapy is currently the only effective treatment method. This may temporarily alleviate Patient No. 1’s pain, but will not stop the continued deterioration fo the patient’s condition.

When Desperation Syndrome progresses to a certain stage, it appears to induce an addiction to Desperation Orbs. Ignoring advice, Patient No. 1 ordered his subordinats to procure some Desperation Orbs, which he consumed, causing his symptoms to significantly deteriorate.

…

A miracle has occurred! The Wishing One has once again shown favor to His descendants. Perhaps the Faewish Sprites cannot go without a leader to help them protect their wishes.

Patient Status: Critical; Life-threatening; Recovered and Discharged.

Delicious Wish Cling Reception Note

Early symptoms of Desperation Syndrome: Weakness, fatigue, and severe pain. If you experience these symptoms without any obvious cause, please seek medical attention immediately!

(Thanks to the current sorting accuracy, the risk of illness from consuming a Desperation Orb has been significantly reduced, so there is no need for unnecessary worry. Should you experience any symptoms, rest assured that professional doctors, Dr. Charlobo and Dr. Melibo, are available to provide treatment. For mild cases, Delicious Wishing Orb therapy can also provide a full recovery!)

Delicious Wishing Ords used for treatment are prescription-only. They cannot be prescribed based on self-reported symptoms alone. Please be advised.

Joining Guide

Congratulations on joining the Wish Master’s Paladins! Together, we will safeguard the Wish Master, Lord Chiga, and share in the supreme honor that belongs to the Faewish Sprites.

As a new member of the Paladins, you must always remember that we are an elite force, personally formed by Lord Chigda himself!

As a new member of the Paladins, you must always keep your responsibilities in mind.

Your primary duty is to protect the Wish Master. Wherever and whenever Lord Chiga’s safety is in question, you must respond immediately!

We are also tasked with defending the Wishing Woods and the entire Faewish Sprite community. Daily training is essential, and patrols must never be taken lightly. Any attempts to undermine the Wish Master or disrupt the pure faith of the Faewish Sprites must be cut off at the root. We must also keep a close watch on the descendants of those who have sinned.

To prevent the spread of Desperation Syndrome, it is essential to handle the Wishing Orbs with care, ensuring they are stored safely in the Desperation Orb Warehouse. Only Captain Avicinda, a trusted member of the Paladins, has free access to the warehouse.

After the departure of The Wishing One, only the Wish Master has remained capable of leading our people. Protecting him is akin to protecting our community, fulfilling the mission entrusted to us by The Wishing One – the most important duty of all!

Creation of The Wishing One

Any power capable of granting wishes is both a gift and a burden. It can lead one to the heights of the stars or plunge them into the depths of the abyss. The difference is often determined by a single thought.

Wishes are innocent, but people’s hearts are a lot more unpredictable.

The world offered The Wishing One a vast open field adorned with blooming Aurosa.

“Your power is sealed here for now. You may seek answers in the blossoming and withering of these flowers.”

Guided by this wisdom, The Wishing One fashioned His descendants from the leaves of the Grand Millewish Tree. These descendants would later bear the responsibility of peeking into the deepest corners of people’s hearts for The Wishing One.

Thoughts that were unwarranted, ridiculous, frightening, or greedy would weeded out before they were heard.

In contrast, the bright, gentle, lingering, and beautiful wishes would be heard by The Wishing One, patiently waiting to come true.

Every two centuries, the Aurosa will bloom and fill the Aureum Vase with shining pollen. When all the gaps have been filled with light, the sealed power will descend again.

Wish Celebration Center Notice

A notice to parents:

Due to the unprecedently long preparation period for the coming-of-age ceremony, the Wish Celebration Center has stockpiled a huge amount of unused weaving materials.

Currently, we aren’t accepting any donations. We appreciate everyone’s blessings. If you wish to contribute to the ceremony, please help us weave Aurosa!

The master weaver’s classes are now available

The eternal Aurosa blossomed from her hands, while the timeless words of The Wishing One flowed from her lips.

Enjoy the tranquility of recalling The Wishing One and experience a gentle soul-rest through weaving.

Thanks to the master weaver for the enlightening guidance! All the students agree – it’s truly wonderful!

Those Blooms, Those Faewish Sprites

In those days when the Aurosa were in full bloom, we once had countless, radiant stylists who awakened here, shining like stars:

…

“The cradle of the Wish Dream.” She led us and helped build the Dream Warehouse, lifting paper cranes into flight.

“A doctor warmer than Sol Fruit.” She cared for Desperation Syndrome patients with kindness and selfless dedication.

“The guide of the starry sky.” His guidance allowed wandering Faewish Sprites to embark on their path back home.

…

Of course, there are also many other Faewish Sprites who, while working, listen to the voices of wishes, clean the round Wishing Orbs, carefully wrap them up, and cook tasty delicacies. Each one is extremely important.

Grow up safely…

Fly high and make life bloom like Aurosa

Practical Guide to the Coming-of-Age Ceremony

Don’t forget to remind every Faewish Sprite parent, as the momentous occasion of the coming-of-age ceremony approaches, to prepare for the defining line between awakening and ignorance. Here are the essential preparations:

Remember to give your child a good name. Avoid using “Bo” and and “Da”, as these sacred syllables come from the pistil and stamen of the Aurosa, marking the birth and rise of our kind.

Remember to prepare a gift for your child after their awakening. It can be a wind chime, a balloon, a hand-woven Aurosa, or anything you like. Alternatively, it can be something you think your child will enjoy. Every child’s awakening, as they begin to bear their mission, deserves reward and encouragement.

Remember to bring a set of clothes for your baby. Collect some Glimmergrass, and you can go to the Glimmergrass Dye Grinder to create blue dye for the clothes. Many Faewish Sprite stylists are also happy to take on the task of crafting clothes for your baby.

Remember to patiently wait. This time, the Aurosa will take a little longer to bloom. Perhaps, during this long wait, you can prepare more thoroughly. The babies can sense your anticipation. The flowers will bloom, and the babies will awaken.

Faewish Sprites Festival Proposal

Sincere wishes are always full of vibrant colors, aromas, and flavors, and the appearance of the Delicious Wishing Orbs is always especially appealing. With their perfect radii, smooth curves, and graceful rolls, they deserve to be admired before they’re eaten! I propose we hold a “Delicious Wishing Orb Beauty Contest.” Who’s in favor? Who’s against?

The countless clever inventions from the Wishcraft Lab have brought immense convenience to our lives. I have a deep admiration, and maybe a bit of envy, for the brilliant researchers there. Whenever I pass by the lab before the coming-of-age ceremony, I can’t help but wonder, “How amazing would it be if my child worked there one day?” Of course, I’ll be proud no matter what path my child chooses. But perhaps we could organize a “Little Wish Invention Festival,” where children can get hands-on experience with creating their own inventions. Who knows, many might discover they have a passion for becoming little inventors!

It's our fault. We were blinded by the sweet coating of The Loved One, which caused The Wishing One to lose his power. As descendants of those who made this mistake, aren’t we also at fault? Shouldn’t we act to atone? How can we peacefully indulge in Delicious Wishing Orgs, cover our eyes, and continue being deceived by cunning wishers? Okay, I know most of us aren’t eager for serious penance, so I propose a “One-Day Ascetic Camp Experience.” On this day, we can refrain from eating Wishing Orbs and instead sit in silence beneath the Grand Millewish Tree, honoring and remembering our God.

Ascetic Camp

Ascetic Advocate’s Confession

Never forget:

Our ancestors were the ones who handed the blade of betrayal to The Loved One who harmed us.

The Loved One, driven by jealousy, wished to claim the noble love of The Wishing One. It was our failure, our blindness, that made us mistake it for a beautiful wish.

From that part of history, we must learn a lesson – one that will change how we view the Delicious Wishing Orbs.

We should only consume those that sustain us just enough to survive, maintaining a clear and objective perspective on our wishes, even when we’re afflicted by the deepest hunger.

We should avoid feeling joy when we taste wishes, for we must first be alert, as they may be tainted by human deception.

We must endure hardship, and praise The Wishing One every day, until our mission is fulfilled. In this life, we must only focus on our God, and forsake personal pleasures.

We should no longer arrogantly sort wishes, for that single mistake was enough to strip us of our rights.
