Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 40 Lucas's Conscience

"Oh, I really like potatoes, potatoes are the most delicious thing in the world!" In a corner of the cafeteria, Lulu broke off a piece of baked potato, and hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth without paying attention to the white hot steam that was still coming out. As expected, she was burned and grimaced. Lulu was almost crying because of the burn, but she was still reluctant to take the potato out. She could only open her mouth and keep exhaling the hot steam of the baked potato. Her bulging cheeks looked like a little hamster trying hard to stuff peanuts into its mouth. Lilith and Hannah were both amused by her appearance.

"Drink something quickly, Lulu. Eating hot food is not good for your health." Lilith quickly pushed her soup bowl over, trying to save the little girl who was struggling with the baked potato.

Lulu nodded with tears in her eyes. Just as she was about to reach out to take it, a hand came across and picked up the bowl of soup. She drank up all the soup in one gulp. After finishing it, she sighed comfortably, "Ah, I'm finally alive. Thank you, Lilith!"

Lilith looked at the blue-haired boy in front of her, speechless for a while. However, she had used Ian to vent her anger last time, so she no longer held a grudge against the boy. She greeted him politely, "Good afternoon, Lucas."

The blue-haired boy grinned, took the bag off his back and placed it on the corner of the table.

Lilith only took one look and answered decisively with a blank expression, "No."

"...You didn't even see what it was!" Lucas didn't mind Lilith's cold face at all, and continued to sell enthusiastically. "Didn't you hear the thunder outside? It's raining, Lilith. I see you didn't bring an umbrella. If the clothes of the pretty ladies get wet, it will be difficult to dry them in the next few days." He opened the oilcloth wrapped around the bundle, pulled out the rope tied outside, and found a pile of neatly arranged umbrellas inside.

He stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of Lilith. "It's only fifty copper coins. Don't worry, this time it's the same price for the whole school."

Lilith crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. The price this time was not too bad. Did Lucas have a change of heart? But she was unforgiving, "How much are you going to make from me this time?"

"Hey Lilith, please give your dear classmate some trust. Maybe we will be teammates fighting side by side in the future." Lucas showed his white teeth with a playful smile, not caring about Lilith's sarcasm at all. "These are all from the grocery store in the city. The quality is very good. The boss said that they can be used for many years. I just earn a few copper coins for running errands. It's really not much."

"Oh——" Lilith said calmly, "You climbed over the wall and went out——"

“Shhhhh!” Lucas interrupted hastily, “Ahem, I just made a small personal sacrifice because I couldn’t bear to see my classmates getting wet in the rain. You’re welcome.”

"Are you short of money, Lucas?" Lilith asked, tearing off a piece of bread gracefully, dipping it in the sauce and taking a bite. She remembered that Senior Jane had told her that they, the Guardians, received subsidies, and the school also provided food and accommodation, so why did Lucas think about making money all day long?

"Hehe, this is why I like chatting with you, Lilith, you nobles are really humorous." This time it was Lucas' turn to be sarcastic.

Lilith choked on the bread and almost choked. She looked at Lucas who was busy selling umbrellas. Okay, maybe from Lucas's point of view, her question was a bit rude. But she really just wanted to ask him if he needed help.

Lucas, who seemed to be heartless, seemed to have a proud side. Since he didn't want to talk about it, Lilith gave up asking questions, took out her wallet from her pocket, took out a silver coin, put it on the table and pushed it over. "I don't have any copper coins, please give me two umbrellas." Maybe he had some difficulties, but he didn't want others to know. Forget it, anyway, she had sufficient funds now, so she would support her classmate's entrepreneurship.

Lucas immediately grinned brilliantly, his two little white fangs dazzled Lilith's eyes. He shoved the silver coins along the edge of the table and put them into his pocket, "Thank you for your patronage! Lilith, I knew you were a good employer. It's a pleasure to do business with you every time!"

He opened his bag and let her choose. Lilith looked at the umbrellas, which were all similar in style and very simple, and picked up two at random, pushing one of them to Lulu and Hannah opposite her.

"I remember you live in the same dormitory, so we can go back together under the same umbrella."

Seeing that the two of them were waving their hands and opening their mouths to refuse, Lilith continued, "Just return it to me when the weather is good. I have someone else at home, and I was planning to buy two umbrellas anyway." She had to use the lovely Bella as an excuse. After not seeing her for several days, Lilith found that she missed the little round-faced maid a little.

This reason finally made Lulu and Hannah let go of their psychological burden, and they took the umbrella handed to them by Lilith.

After Lucas concluded the business at this table, he did not stay any longer and went on to look for other people to do his small business.

The few of them finished their lunch while chatting and laughing, and agreed to meet by the lake to go to the divination class together, and then left with their umbrellas.

Lilith was a person who always took a nap. She walked slowly along the cobblestone road back to the dormitory building. Along the way, she met many people holding the same type of umbrella as her. She was a little surprised at Lucas's salesmanship. It seemed that he had sold quite a few umbrellas.

Humph, it must be because of his sea people bloodline that he knew to stock up on umbrellas in advance to sell.

At the same time, in a residential area away from the main street in the city, a resident was preparing a sumptuous lunch.

"Wow, Dad! Why are there so many delicious foods today?" A little girl of six or seven years old ran all the way home with her schoolbag on her head. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the aroma of food wafting from the restaurant.

"Oh my poor little girl, you're all wet. Go change your clothes, baby! There's roast chicken made by mommy today." The man of the house was a tall man with a beard. He lifted his daughter above his head and shook her. After hearing her happy scream, he happily put her in the middle of the stairs, patted her little head and chased her back to the room.

The wife brought the last dish to the table and couldn't help complaining, "The weather isn't even cold yet, and you have to make so much!"

"It's okay! We can continue eating tonight!" The male host beamed with joy. "Last night a boy took away all the umbrellas that couldn't be sold six years ago because of poor quality. Finally, there is room in the warehouse, and we can buy some fashionable goods."

"I've kept the umbrella for so many years, but you didn't even bother to throw it away. You actually sold it." The wife frowned, "You didn't cheat anyone, did you?"

The husband took a sip of beer and shook his head hastily. "No, no! How could that be? I've already told the kid that these umbrellas are from many years ago. He said it's okay. He'll use them as props for his performance, so I sold them to him. I've also forgotten the depreciation. I only sold them to him for 10 copper coins each. It's like giving them to him as gifts."

"That's good enough. Let's eat. Tell the children to come down and pray..."
