Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

"Thank you, thank you very much, sir. My family and I will never forget your generosity and kindness."

In the warm wooden house, an older man with somewhat gray hair expressed his gratitude to the person in front of him respectfully. Even though the boy was just a teenager, he still called him "Master". Because this place was cold and remote and the nobles of the county had never set foot here, they were unsure about the title of the nobles.

"She's a pregnant woman, why did you let her run into the woods alone?" Daniel, who was standing at the front, stood with his chest puffed out with his sword in his hand, like a majestic knight, with the airs of aristocracy, and questioned the woman's family with a frown.

They had no intention of doing so, but when they carried the stretcher back to the town, the town guards swarmed over, looking suspicious and ready to take them in for questioning. Daniel then put on the airs of a noble knight and drove away those suspicious townspeople.

"We didn't ask her to go." The family was shrouded in sadness over the death of their newborn, but they still had to stay alert to deal with these young masters and young ladies who looked like they were not easy to deal with. "It's time to harvest the resin we harvested earlier. It's almost Hanukkah, and everyone in the family is very busy. Megan is familiar with the forest and must help. Besides, she's only seven months pregnant. We thought it was too early, but we didn't expect..."

It was completely dark. There were not many candles in the house, and the flickering candlelight was disturbing to people's eyes. A woman's low sobbing could be heard from inside the house. An old woman walked past the crowd holding a bowl of unknown liquid, with a sad look on her face.

"It must be that witch, father, I'm going to kill them!" The old man's son responded angrily, his eyes red and his hand clenched with the axe.

"The curse has come true. If you go looking for them again, are you going to risk your life?" The old man's eyes were filled with fear. He ignored the distinguished guest in front of him and quickly stepped forward to snatch the axe from his son's hand.

"Meghan is such a kind girl! They didn't even let her go. Are the lives of ordinary people like us just toys for witches to amuse themselves?" The man fell dejectedly against the wall, sobbing for his own helplessness.

"What on earth are you talking about?" Lilith frowned fiercely, acting like a noble lady. "What about witches? We came here to play, but the residents of your town didn't even give us a warning. If something happens to us here, can you bear the responsibility of my family?"

"Please forgive me, young lady." The old man had just persuaded his son and was about to speak when he realized he was still holding the axe. He quickly threw it aside and bowed to Lilith to apologize.

"I heard that witches have always lived in the heart of the valley. They were far away from the town in the past, and we could hardly come into contact with them. But in recent years, with the gradual expansion of the fire prevention post, many townspeople have encountered those women..." The old man lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

"They know all kinds of witchcraft and can drive away evil spirits and monsters. They don't want us to set foot in the forest, so they punish and curse us. But, but we have to live too..."

Lulu and Hannah glanced at each other secretly behind the scenes. It sounded like, if there really was a witch, she seemed to have an affinity with dark elements...

"They have rarely harmed people in recent years. Who knows why they suddenly targeted Megan. When Megan said she met a little girl in the forest, I had a feeling that something was wrong..." The old man sighed, looked up and saw Lilith frowning, and hurriedly made up for it, "But you are still safe in town, just don't go to the forest..."

"You are so dishonest, aren't you afraid that the God of Light will settle accounts with you?" Lilith sneered and interrupted the old man, "If the town is safe, what's the matter with those guards?!"

She originally thought that it was because the town was crowded with people as the festival was approaching, so there were guards at the entrances and exits. But when she came back the second time, she found that this was not the case. Most of the people who rushed back to the town with them at sunset were lumberjacks who knew each other well. So she could only believe half of what the old man said.

“Those guards are the self-defense group organized by the Church of Light.” The old man felt guilty after being rebuked by Lilith, but he didn’t think he was lying. “They are not only there to defend against witches, but also for public security. After all, witches haven’t appeared in the town for a long time. The last incident was last year…”

"Ms. Lilith, the hotel has been booked." Lucas came in from outside with a smile, stomped his feet at the door and greeted everyone.

Lilith nodded when she heard this. After all, this family had just experienced a misfortune, so there was no need to focus on just this family if she wanted to find out some information. So she took the lead and left the cabin.

"Aiya - it's so good to be a noble." Lucas stopped pretending as soon as he came out, and sighed in a somewhat sarcastic way, "Ever since you said you were nobles, our room rates have been secretly increased."

"You still want to let others take advantage of you?" Lilith sneered.

"Of course not! But I won this back with my eloquence. Can't the money I saved be considered my hard work fee?"

However, Lilith just stretched out her hand, and Lucas had no choice but to take out the silver coins that were not even warm yet.

"Are there really evil witches?" Hannah was a little worried, afraid of running into them. It sounded like the witches were very minded about others entering the forest, as if they regarded it as their territory.

"Of course there will be. There will be good people and bad people in any group." Lilith had no doubt about this.

"But it's hard to say whether there are witches or not. These people like to scare themselves the most. It's not so easy to cast a curse. Didn't Teacher Jacqueline say that if you want the curse to come true, the person casting the curse usually has to pay an equal price in exchange? Then why would a witch pay a huge price to curse an unborn baby? I don't think it's likely." She glanced at Catherine, who hadn't spoken from beginning to end, and felt a little worried.

"That's right. When I was a kid, there was a man in my hometown whose face suddenly turned blue. Everyone said it was a curse from the devil. They were so scared that they didn't dare go out at night. It turned out that the face cloth his wife sewed for him faded." said a guardian.

"Maybe it was a murder of passion? Emotional dispute or something..." Sean touched his chin.

"You'd better stop thinking about it, Sean." Lulu rolled her eyes. "I don't think it's because of this. Didn't Ms. Megan say it was a little girl?"

The group of people were arguing as they walked, refuting each other's opinions.

A man suddenly flashed in front of them, startling the person walking in front. Lilith took a look with the help of the lights coming through other people's houses on the roadside. It was the guard who had just stopped them from entering the town. It seemed that he had finally changed his shift and had not had time to change out of his duty uniform. At this moment, he was bending over with a fawning look on his face, greeting them enthusiastically.

"——Young masters and ladies, welcome to the fire station! It was a misunderstanding just now, I am really sorry. I grew up here and I am familiar with everything here. You have come all the way from Highgarden and are the most distinguished guests. If there is anything you need help with, please let me know."

Lilith looked at the other party speechlessly. Did they really look like some kind of fool with lots of money who were easy to take advantage of?

"We're here to find the armadillo." However, someone in the team really responded, it was Bobby.

Lilith held her forehead and said, Bobby, this really makes them look stupid, okay! !

The man's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his chest excitedly, "Then you've asked the right person. I know where it is. If you're in a hurry, I'll take you there right now."

"——Ah?!" Lilith was stunned. No, how could he really know that?
