Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

"Hold me."

Taking advantage of the night, Lilith climbed up the iron fence first, squatted at the top and stretched out her hand to Catherine. After she and Catherine held each other tightly, she pulled her off the ground with one hand and lifted her directly onto the fence.

"...You are so strong now." Catherine couldn't help but exclaimed after she stood up.

"Hehe!" Lilith patted her arms proudly when she heard that. She was about to show off her muscles to Catherine when she suddenly heard a chuckle from the side.

The two turned their heads at the same time. The blue-haired boy was standing under the fence, wearing the rope loop that he always kept with him. He put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the two girls squatting on the fence. He was amazed, "Hey, look who this is, isn't this Miss Lilith who formulated the work of building the school's style?"

Lilith was speechless. Was it her character setting that she would always be caught when doing bad things? Could this be removed?

"Hahaha, good evening Lucas, what a coincidence, you're here to climb over the wall too..." Lilith laughed awkwardly. After sending Catherine to the ground, she jumped down herself and greeted Lucas across the fence.

"Haha, yes." Lucas sneered and turned over swiftly. "Thanks to your wise decision, I went from climbing over the wall openly every day to climbing over it in fear every day. I just want to work, can you please stop making things difficult for me? If you nobles come up with any idea, we are doomed to be unlucky." He glanced at Catherine.

"Hey, we have a special situation today, something urgent...ah, do you two not know each other yet?" Lilith suddenly thought that Catherine and Lucas seemed to have no chance to meet each other.

She looked at the princess who had returned to her chaste and indifferent expression in front of others, and introduced her, "Catherine, this is Lucas, the guardian of our grade. Lucas, this is—eh?!"

She turned her head to introduce Catherine to Lucas, but when she turned back, she found that the boy had walked away without looking back.

"Well, he, he has to work every day, so he might be late." Lilith explained awkwardly to make up for herself. Lucas was still so annoying!

Catherine didn't seem to care. She walked to Lilith's side and looked at the boy walking away. "He is a sea dweller, right?"

"Yes." After saying that, Lilith suddenly realized that the sea people came from the God-forsaken Land, Catherine's hometown, right?

"It's normal for him to hate me. You don't have to worry about it." Catherine said calmly, motioning Lilith to follow her.

"Is the disaster on the east coast that you mentioned really related to the sea people?" Lilith felt sorry for the ragged sea people she met at the beginning.

"...I don't know." Catherine shook her head. Her father just wanted them to migrate to a safer place inland, but... the Church of Light spread such a statement to calm the people's panic and dissatisfaction with the disaster and divert their hatred. Catherine pondered, perhaps, her father was wrong in this matter...

After Catherine sent the expensive express letter at the post office and watched the Swift Falcon disappear into the night sky in the blink of an eye, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. If she could solve the food problem, her mother would definitely be very happy.

"Go back, Lilith." She turned and called to Lilith who was obsessed with poking the post office owl.

"Go back?" Lilith suddenly turned her head and looked at the princess in disbelief. "No way, Catherine, we finally climbed over the wall and you want to go back straight away?"

"What else?" Catherine asked puzzled.

"We are partners now, right, Catherine?" Lilith put her arm around Catherine's shoulders seriously. After she saw her nod, she continued, "Do you know what businessmen should do after reaching an agreement on a partnership?"

Catherine shook her head in confusion.

"Of course we should have a dinner party! A dinner party!"

……

"Come on, come on, cheers! I wish our cooperation will be successful."

In a restaurant on the main street, near the window, a blonde and a silver-haired girl sat opposite each other. Lilith poured her newly made sweet rice wine into their glasses behind the waiter's back and motioned for Catherine to drink with her.

"That's right!" After she stared at Catherine sipping the sweet wine and her eyes widened leisurely, she nodded with satisfaction, "Any meaningful thing is worth celebrating!" She happily picked up a piece of roasted brown beef ribs and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it. It was great. She had another reason to have a big meal.

Catherine curled her lips. Under the orange candlelight, both of their faces looked very gentle. "You seem to really trust me. Aren't you afraid that I'll mess up?"

Lilith shrugged indifferently, "I won't lose anything." At worst, she could come up with a plan B. It was just a matter of how much money she could make.

"Besides, I just think you can do it, Catherine." Lilith giggled, looking at the girl in front of her whose skin gradually became rosy due to her first intake of alcohol, "You are the heroine in my heart."

"The heroine? What does that mean?" Catherine tilted her head in confusion, her eyes no longer clear because of the alcohol, but rather a little confused.

"It's just... a very amazing girl." Lilith answered randomly, a word she herself didn't know how to define.

Catherine laughed. "It sounds like something you would say to cheer a child up. Besides, you're the awesome one, right?" She saw how hard Lilith worked every day. Not only did she take twice as many classes as the others, but sometimes when she woke up near dawn, she would always hear the sound of a door closing gently from Lilith's side.

"As for me..." Lilith looked at the people outside the glass window who were busy making a living, a little dazed, "I don't count, I just want to experience different lives freely... As for specific ideals and pursuits, I don't have any, but you do, right Catherine?" She always felt that Catherine had her own clear goals.

"Hey, don't rush to make a conclusion for yourself." Catherine was like her, looking out the window in a daze. The two of them together looked like a fairy painting. Passersby who occasionally glanced over would be surprised by such a scene. "My mother said that as long as you think it's not over, it's not the end. You just haven't found the path you want to take."

"It seems you have a good mother." Lilith smiled when she heard that.

"Of course, she gave me life." Catherine smiled proudly, then remembered the life experience of the person in front of her and put away her smile, "Sorry, I..."

"It's okay." Lilith waved her hand casually, "I don't envy you. I have many good mothers."

Catherine laughed and breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her glass and said, "Come on, let's have one more drink before we go back." This sweet wine is quite delicious.

Lilith turned back and raised her glass with a smile, "What is this toast to?"

"Well... let's toast to my mother." Catherine said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, to my mother."
