149 LUCKY STAR

HILDRED sighed helplessly when he heard the question.  "Wulf, friendship isn't something that could be forced.  Just like any relationship out there.  It's something that should be build from the ground up."

"Then, how should I build it?" Wulfric asked, his confusion could totally be seen on his face.

Hildred shrugged.  "How would I know?  People just naturally become my friends. It's probably because of my charm."  He turned to Edmund.  "Right, Ed?"

[Should I just say yes?  Yes, I should just do that.] – Edmund thought before nodding.

Hildred looked proudly at Wulfric, as if saying, 'see, what did I tell you?'. 

Wulfric resisted the urge to just directly punch Hildred's annoying face.  "Then, why are you telling me to build up the friendship when you don't even know how yourself?!"

"Because I think that's what Astrid would want," Hildred answered.  "He's the one you wanted to befriend, right?"
