Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

This was originally a secret that could never be told in this lifetime.

——At least that’s what Lilith thought before.

Outside of the ivory tower of Goletia, the world is ignorant and chaotic. When people encounter incomprehensible people or things, their way of dealing with them is to push them into the fire and burn them. This is the lesson Lilith learned when she first awakened.

Her fear and panic at that time might have seemed ridiculous, but she was just a powerless little girl with no choice but to escape.

But it's different now.

She grew up and became stronger, becoming a magician and a swordsman, not only able to protect herself, but also having enough energy to take care of those around her.

More importantly, she made so many friends who treated her sincerely.

"I am a time traveler." Not hearing Catherine's reply, Lilith repeated it with her eyes closed.

"That is... a person from another world."

The room was dead silent.

Lilith felt regretful almost the moment she said it, but Catherine had just been so frank with her, telling her all the dangerous thoughts that could cost her her life, which made her feel that she was secretive and unworthy of Catherine's sincerity.

But one's heart couldn't help but sink slowly in this silence.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other in the room.

Lilith opened her eyes in surprise and found that Catherine had already changed into a dress for the dinner party. When she saw her looking at her, she just calmly pulled her hair out of her collar.

...?

"You—!" Lilith was stunned and asked incredulously, "I've already made a decision that goes against our ancestors' teachings, and this is your reaction?"

How could she still have the energy to change clothes? This woman!

"I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what the Friar family's ancestral motto is." Catherine said with an innocent look on her face.

"...It's not the ancestral motto of the Friar family!" Lilith was furious. It was the customary rule agreed upon by the predecessors who traveled through time and space!

"——But since you mentioned that." Her Highness the Princess pulled out a chair next to the desk and sat down leisurely.

"Come on, it's still early for the party, I have plenty of time, you can tell me what's going on." She smiled at Lilith, and Lilith finally caught the special look in her eyes.

Lilith blinked.

Katherine blinked too.

……

"You lied to me!"

Lilith's intelligence, which had been crushed by Catherine's deception, returned to normal. She clutched her chest, took a few steps back, and gasped, acting as if she had been hurt by a scumbag.

"You actually used our friendship to deceive me!"

"I haven't told a single lie yet." Her Royal Highness the Princess would not be frightened by these questions. Her conscience didn't hurt at all. She had just said the truth. She was sincere in return for sincerity.

"Catherine Bishop!" Lilith gritted her teeth and read out her friend's full name!

Catherine remained indifferent. She simply patted the other chair next to her and smiled gently at Lilith, who had retreated to the edge of the rainbow wall.

"Why are you standing so far away? Come and sit down and talk. Why are you so reserved? Okay, I admit I used a little strategy."

Lilith glared at her and refused to move.

Seeing this, Catherine simply stopped pretending and raised her eyebrows, revealing a bit of domineering attitude that would not tolerate any argument:

"You don't think, after what happened with Lyrael and Kanyon, I'd let you keep your little secrets right under my nose, do you? Besides, you've been so quiet for so long since then. Is that normal?"

Although Her Royal Highness the Princess did not understand the principle that "a quiet child must be up to something", she just felt that Lilith would not always be so honest.

Originally, I just wanted to find out the relationship between Lilith and the bishop, but who would have thought that there would be extra gains?

"...It's too much, it's really too much." Lilith murmured.

She remembered that when they first met, the naive Catherine had tried to trick her into giving her some advice and even tried to win her over by playing on her emotions, but she saw through her tricks at once. But now, Catherine had only used a little trick, and she had been tricked into revealing everything!

Lilith held her forehead with her hand - she was so busy feeling that she had become stronger that she forgot that the guy in front of her was also growing rapidly!

She finally lost her temper, walked over and sat down, complaining, "Why are you so calm? Isn't this kind of thing worth shocking you?"

Catherine tilted her head and thought for a moment. "You are astonishingly ignorant of certain common sense in this world."

Lilith glared again.

"—In contrast, you possess an extraordinary intuition and understanding of certain profound magic, history, and even the ways of the world. Your methods of problem-solving are always innovative.

I used to always wonder what kind of environment shaped you. Your family? Friends? Teachers? Or that bishop?

None of this is right, Catherine paused. Apart from this, there is also the feeling that she is vaguely detached from this world, which is so unusual.

"So, the explanation of 'people from another world' actually makes a lot of contradictions make sense."

Catherine accepted this statement almost without hesitation. She leaned forward, her gray eyes glittering with curiosity. "Now tell me, Lilith, what exactly does 'travel through time' mean? What is the other world like?"

Lilith took a deep breath. Facing an audience that had already guessed most of what she had said and whose attitude was so open, she finally calmed down and was able to organize her words.

"In my understanding, 'time travel' refers to a person's body or soul inexplicably moving from their original world to another, usually into another person's body."

"With memory?" Catherine asked sharply.

"I guess so." Lilith smiled bitterly.

"My original world is completely different from this one. There's no magic, no gods... at least not visible to the world, and there aren't so many different intelligent races."

"That's so boring." Catherine tilted her head. "There aren't even any witches?"

"...No! We are developing another kind of power called 'technology', which can allow people to fly into the sky, even to the stars, and to talk and see each other instantly across thousands of miles..."

She briefly described the scene of modern society and saw surprise in Catherine's eyes, but Her Royal Highness controlled her emotions well and did not interrupt her.

"And then... I don't know what happened. It seemed like I just fell asleep, and when I woke up, I had already lived in this world as Lilith for more than ten years."

Catherine's hands tapped unconsciously on the table, as if lost in thought: "The soul passed through the barriers of the world and entered another body, carrying with it the memory information of a prophet..."

She slowly turned her head and looked at Lilith, sighing casually, "How is this different from a god?"

Lilith's heart skipped a beat again.

"Aha, haha..." Lilith kept laughing dryly. She found that she could no longer tell whether Catherine was testing her or not.

So, in order to avoid being treated as an idiot, Lilith decided to answer first.

"Then we have to talk about my other identity..."
