Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

The team was scattered and stretched out very long, and everyone was chatting about their own things, so they didn't affect each other. Suddenly, a bell rang, breaking the relaxed atmosphere. The deep bell sound echoed in the darkness, passing through the narrow streets and passing over the snow-covered roofs. Ian, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and looked ahead.

The white spire of the church in the distance was faintly visible in the night, and the sound seemed to come from that direction.

"Go if you want to." Lilith and Catherine followed slowly, passing by Ian who was in a daze. Lilith looked at his appearance, sighed softly, left this sentence and continued walking forward without paying any attention to him.

"You seem to be especially tolerant towards certain people." Catherine looked at Ian, who had quietly left the team, and the several guardians who were fighting and playing in front, with a hint of meaning.

"Isn't it for you?" Lilith was surprised and couldn't help laughing, "Oh, the princess is upset. Why does she look jealous?"

"...I thought that after he left the temple, he would have a new understanding of the church." Catherine seldom commented on others, which was against her upbringing, but seeing Ian's look, she couldn't help but say, "Although I heard that he is the strongest in this session, he may not be your best choice." Catherine could feel that Lilith had no awe of the church, and they were destined not to be on the same path.

"I know." Lilith said indifferently, "This is just like a study group. You can never form a dream team. I choose to accept it. Anyway, it's just a few years of cooperation in school. When I graduate, why will I need any guardian? By then, I will be the richest woman in Gloria who pays the most taxes. Oh, don't blame me for not paying taxes for you, your future queen." Lilith joked with a smile.

Catherine bit her lip and said nothing more, but Lilith suddenly felt that the princess seemed even more depressed.

These magic apprentices, who had left school for the first time, had no experience and had encountered some unexpected events, so they had walked a lot today. Even after returning to the hotel, when Lilith brought out some delicious food and hot milk tea, no one had the energy to cheer. They had a quiet dinner, then said good night to each other and went back to their rooms.

Catherine changed into pajamas, but she had no intention of falling asleep. She sat in front of the window with a blanket wrapped around her, quietly looking at the street outside the window in the dark, with a melancholy look in her eyes. There were no street lights in this small town, but the night sky was bright tonight, and the light reflected on the snow was as dazzling as the princess's hair.

But the silver light was reluctant to shine through the window. Catherine looked like a sitting statue, her face looming in the darkness, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was troubled by an unrelieved worry in her heart.

"Susu-"

It seemed as if a bird passed by and landed on her eaves to rest. Its wings fanned the snow, and white snow mist filled the air in front of Catherine's window, as if it was snowing again. Her thoughts were finally interrupted, and she couldn't help but curl her lips to appreciate this scenery that belonged to her alone.

"Knock knock."

There was a gentle knock on the door, followed by Lilith's sneaky voice - "Catherine, are you asleep?"

……

"What are you going to do...?" Catherine was pulled into Lilith's room in her pajamas. As soon as she came in, she saw a group of girls in pajamas laughing and giggling. They were enthusiastically helping each other pull the bedding, laying it out layer by layer on the floor, and then bringing quilts and pillows to throw on.

"Hehe, if you haven't experienced a pajama party or slept on the floor with others, your childhood experience will be incomplete!" Lilith smiled and hugged her. Catherine's body was cold, and she couldn't help rubbing her arms.

"...I've definitely never experienced this before." Catherine was enveloped by the heat coming from Lilith's body. She looked at the soft and comfortable blankets on the ground with curiosity in her eyes. "It looks interesting. Do you want to sleep together?"

"Don't worry, I sleep well." Lilith looked at Catherine, whose worry had finally faded away, and breathed a sigh of relief, secretly proud of her sudden inspiration.

"Haha, so comfortable." After the bedding was laid out, Lulu was the first to jump on it and rolled on it for a few rounds. "This is so fun, Hannah, I want to sleep next to you!"

"Thank you, Lilith." Hannah smiled and nodded, then looked at Lilith gratefully. This decision today actually came from her. Because she was a little scared, she wanted to pull Lulu to sleep together. After hearing this, Lilith simply decided to gather everyone together.

"You've worked hard, Hannah." Lilith's eyes were filled with heartache. Hannah was friendly to dark elements. With more than a year of study and meditation, her understanding of dark elements became deeper and deeper. Correspondingly, her perception of the soul also gradually became sharper. She didn't dare to imagine what kind of mental state she would be in if she encountered ghosts all day long.

"Actually, there aren't many of them in this town. We just passed by..." Hannah was about to speak when Lulu quickly covered her mouth and dragged her down on the floor. "Okay Hannah, that's enough. We don't really want to hear the details." Who wants to know how many ghosts are in the room!

Everybody laughed and arranged their seats. The five girls lay in a row on the ground. Lulu lit a small lighting spell and hid under the quilt, casting a dim light. No matter how cold the wind was howling outside, the room was warm and quiet. Lilith also wanted to use the lighting spell, but was stopped by the girls. Her light ball was green and if it accidentally shone on their faces it would have the atmosphere of a horror story.

"Well... since we can't tell horror stories, let's talk about something else." Lilith clicked her lips regretfully. After everyone finished laughing, they began to think and suddenly became quiet for a while.

"The witch is so pitiful." Jaina suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone's thoughts. Girls of this age can't keep things in their hearts, and the topic went around in circles and returned to the starting point.

"This... is different from what my father said." Catherine's voice was low and confused. "My father said that witch trials only exist in history. They happened when the Church of Light expanded rapidly. When the church's rule became stable, they stopped happening..."

"Maybe the situation here is special. In my hometown, I have never heard of such a thing, and no one has been arrested in the name of witches. Your father is not a liar." Lilith lay on her back and looked at the ceiling, calmly comforting her. She didn't think that Catherine's father was whitewashing the contradiction. In such an information-blocked era, it is not surprising that people have information gaps or wrong information. Moreover, with Catherine's background, who would go to her family and say this?

"If possible, I would like to go to the valley to see them." Catherine turned over and opened her mouth softly.
