Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

"Miss, why did you give her the wine?" Bella asked anxiously as Lilith and Bella stepped out of the door of the Red Maple Leaf Tavern.

"Because Boss Daisy is very beautiful, don't you think?" Lilith teased the little maid with a smile.

Of course not. Daisy from the Red Maple Leaf Tavern was the only owner she knew on this street. If she wanted her new wine to be accepted by the market, she naturally needed some upfront investment. The best way was to build good relationships with retailers like Daisy, strive for more publicity opportunities, and collect user reviews.

If she worked hard without caring about anything, and no one came to support her, it would be a waste. In this era of information blockage, she didn't believe that a good wine would be sold in a narrow alley. She wanted to sell it to the whole country. Lilith dreamed of dominating the national wine market. She walked to the door of Antonio's grocery store with a smile, and after thinking about it, she turned in.

Antonio drank a lot last night and now he was rubbing his head to deal with the chattering students. Before the new semester, there were many orders for both purchases and sales. There were crowds of people in front of the counter. He was so busy that he was dizzy. When he saw Lilith coming in, he didn't even bother to say polite words, "What do you want to buy?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Lilith came over with a giggle, not minding the old man's eye roll.

"Actually, I'm here to give you a New Year's gift, Mr. Antonio." Lilith took out two small bottles of wine and placed them on the counter. "This is the wine I brewed myself, and I'm giving it to you to try." She had felt the kindness of the old man before, and now she could just repay him.

"...Thank you." Antonio looked at her suspiciously, but still thanked her and accepted it. "You really don't want anything?"

"Well... do you accept custom-made props according to the blueprint?" Lilith thought for a moment and asked. Her crude distiller was fine for experiments, but it would be too simple for mass production. If Daisy's response was good, she would have to order a new distillation equipment.

"Of course."

"Okay, I'll come back later. Goodbye, teacher." Lilith saw that Antonio was very busy, so she didn't want to waste his time and hurriedly took Bella for a walk.

"Miss..." Bella and Lilith went to order another batch of food. On the way to school to register, Bella asked Lilith with a bitter face, "Do I really have to study mathematics?"

"What's wrong? You are not a coward." Lilith teased Bella.

"But, since I was little, everyone has said that I'm not smart enough, that I'm stubborn and can only do one thing at a time. I heard that math is difficult..."

"Bella." Lilith interrupted her. "I don't know who said that about you, but what you think are your shortcomings are actually your strengths for studying. Studying has never been a privilege that only belongs to the smart and the noble. Sooner or later, all children will be able to study from a young age."

"Being single-minded means you won't give up easily when you encounter setbacks. Being able to do only one thing at a time means you are fully focused on what you do. You are persistent, focused, and not afraid of hardship. If you want to learn, these qualities are enough. Besides, I don't expect you to become a genius. We can take it slow." Lilith said softly.

"So that's how it is..." Bella was in a daze. These... weren't actually shortcomings.

"I have to go back to school, and I need to clean up my dormitory in advance. Oh, I really hope Teacher Luna can teach us cleaning skills this semester. I really need it!" Lilith complained as she walked, and said goodbye to Bella and went to school separately.

Lilith really likes the atmosphere of the start of school. The school gate is always bustling with activity, and there is an air of youthfulness. She is in a good mood, humming "I'm going to school" all the way to the dormitory, but she heard a burst of crying as soon as she entered the dormitory building.

It’s fun to watch!

Lilith stretched her neck to look in the direction of the common room on the first floor. Surprisingly, all her noble classmates had arrived early to report in. They gathered together and listened to what Angel said indignantly. Lilith quietly moved to the side of the stairs and eavesdropped with her ears perked up.

"...I went to find Colin, and he said no. The class list had been finalized at the end of last semester!" Angel complained angrily to the princess in front of her. When she and some other students returned to school, they were notified to get a new class schedule. Only then did they find out that almost all their class times had changed. After asking, they learned that their class would be divided into two classes, and she could not attend classes with Catherine!

"Angie, I also went to find out about the situation. Teacher Colin also explained that there are more students in our class this year, twice as many as in previous years. The teachers all agree that teaching in separate classes is more responsible for each of us. This way they can pay better attention to each student's situation. Look at Teacher Jacqueline, she always loses her voice after teaching in class." Dilia, one of her playmates, patiently explained to Angel.

But An Qi didn't appreciate it. She glared at Delia and said, "You were assigned to Catherine's class, so of course you don't care!"

Delia stood up helplessly, looked at Catherine and said nothing.

Lilith, who was eavesdropping, curled her lips. Oh, it seems that the nobles' alliance of using toilet handles is in danger.

"It's okay, Angie. We all live so close, nothing will change." Catherine spoke to break the awkward atmosphere and casually comforted Angie.

"Catherine! You must have a way, right?" An Qi asked in front of everyone, "The teachers may give you a favor. Can you find someone to exchange with me..."

Even Lilith shook her head at this. If Catherine really did this, everyone would pester her and ask her to change shifts.

As expected, Catherine refused and stood up with a serious expression. "I can't do such a thing, Angie. The school divides classes according to grades. It is fair and just. I respect and understand this decision. Please don't embarrass me and the teachers."

After saying that, he turned and left, just in time to see a head clinging to the wall.

Catherine:…

Lilith: ...I am really impressed by how I always get caught doing bad things.

She silently retracted her head and walked upstairs lightly. Catherine also wanted to go back to the dormitory. The two of them walked together in silence, one in front and the other behind. The only sound was the clatter of their shoes on the stairs, which was very awkward.

"Catherine." As if unable to bear such awkward silence, Lilith suddenly spoke.

Catherine looked up in surprise and found that Lilith had stopped at the top of the stairs, looking down at her with hesitation on her face.

"Is it you?" Lilith finally asked after hesitating for several times.

"It was you who called me during the fireworks in Highgarden that night, wasn't it?"
