Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Lilith was awakened by a sobbing cry.

She struggled to open her eyes. Phoebe was sitting at the head of her bed, crying, her eyes were red and swollen. She tried to move her legs, but there was no feeling...

It's over - Lilith's eyes were filled with tears of despair. Has she been eaten by the mermaid?

"Phoebe..." Lilith choked up and said, "Wait for me... Please send me back to Shelley Town and help me make up a better excuse. I don't want anyone to be sad..."

"Why, why...Lilith." Phoebe cried miserably. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and looked at Lilith in confusion. "You, you haven't had your holiday yet, wuwuwu..."

Lilith: ...??? Do you have any humanity? Huh? Do you have any? Oh, you are a witch, but can't witches have some humanity?

"Don't cry for me, Phoebe." Lilith gradually let go of everything, and her mind began to run a revolving lantern of her short life. "Life is just a journey. Maybe, I can go back to where I came from."

Phoebe's sorrow was repeatedly interrupted by Lilith, which prevented her from crying. She was a little annoyed and emphasized again, "I said, Lilith, you haven't had a holiday yet, at least you have to wait until Hanukkah!"

…Why does it feel like she’s not crying for me? Lilith realized it later.

"Phoebe, how much do I have left? I can't feel my legs..." Lilith asked with all her courage.

Phoebe was confused by her question and looked up at her legs.

"Jump! Get down! You've numbed her legs!"

Phoebe turned her anger towards her pet monkey. Lilith felt a warm touch slowly approaching her. Tiaotiao was dazed when Phoebe called him. It crawled onto Lilith's chest and continued to sleep in her neck.

——Huh? Lilith seemed in disbelief. She finally sat up while holding Tiaotiao and looked down. Her legs were still there! Everything was still there! The mermaid didn’t eat her! ? What about Phoebe?

"Why are you crying, Phoebe?" Lilith was confused.

"Wow, oh, my, my belladonna..." Phoebe held her box, and Lilith realized that all the belladonna that she had just cleaned and put in had disappeared.

"Simon, wuwuwu, they were all taken away from me, confiscated... wuwuwu..." Phoebe cried even louder when she talked about her sad story.

"...Simon?" Lilith asked confusedly. Her memory only stayed at the moment when she was pulled into the pool, and she had no memory of what happened afterwards. Therefore, she could not understand the dispute between Simon and Phoebe, and she asked Phoebe anxiously.

"Phoebe, did you know there was... that mermaid at the bottom of the lake? She said she was the principal, is that true?"

"Of course it's true." Phoebe took a handkerchief and wiped her tears and snot, finally controlling her emotions. "Who would pretend to be the principal in Goletia? No one wants to do such a tiring job."

"But... that mermaid lady..." Lilith didn't know how to describe her feelings. She felt that the principal seemed to be unaffected by human civilization and was full of primitive and barbaric power. "She seems a little strange."

"Oh, don't say that, Lilith." Phoebe interrupted Lilith's comment, "The principal is just old. Although mermaids have a life span of thousands of years, they will eventually reach the end of their lives. When they get older, they will develop various diseases. This is inevitable for any species."

"So what is her illness...?"

"She is slowly forgetting everything. When I went to visit her in the Great Library a few years ago, we could occasionally chat, but in recent years, she rarely recognizes me." Phoebe sniffed, a little sad.

"Because of her forgetfulness, her mermaid instincts occasionally take over her will, and sometimes she does some, uh, irrational things, like using her singing to lure people underwater. That's why we placed her in the Mirror Lake Library, where the sound can be blocked."

"...She is a mermaid, why would she come to the shore to open a magic school?" Lilith found it unbelievable, and it sounded like her symptoms were Alzheimer's?

"Well, you can't use your current ideas to speculate on the wisdom of a lady who is nearly a thousand years old. Besides, the world before the Holy Calendar was different from now." Phoebe is a witch after all, and she has inherited some uninterrupted historical knowledge.

"It is said that Lady Goletia is the daughter of the sea god. She has been yearning for and thirsting for knowledge since she was a child. That is why she came to the land with countless treasures, hoping to exchange and integrate knowledge with humans and elves, so she established the Goletia Academy. She trained countless magicians for the holy war and helped the people on land successfully resist the invasion of foreign creatures. She is a great hero in the holy war."

"Therefore, the Human King Zora established Goletia as a permanent independent city-state to praise the dedication of our principal and the friendship between different races who fought together."

Then why is this lady’s name never mentioned in history books? She is a living fossil... Lilith frowned, puzzled.

"I really want to see what the world was like before the Holy Calendar..." Phoebe's emotions came and went quickly. She was no longer worried about the confiscated belladonna, and began to reminisce with Lilith about the old times that were lost in the long river of history.

"I heard that in the past, all races could get along well with each other, especially in Goletia. Whether it was dwarves, elves, or orcs, you could see them all over the streets."

Lilith was shocked by the scene described by Phoebe. She always thought that there was only a little magic in this world, and that being able to come into contact with magic like her was the limit. However, she did not expect that the original world was so colorful. Her face showed the same yearning as Phoebe.

but……

"Why did it turn out like this, Phoebe?" She remembered what the principal repeated over and over again - the elves are gone, all gone.

Phoebe shrugged. "I don't know. We witches are not long-lived."

"It seems that everything started after Zora's death." Phoebe thought hard, "Since the sudden death of your human king, everything seems to have started to change..."

"The elves suddenly withdrew from the Gaia Empire. There was no mermaid night market in Falling Star Bay anymore. Human residents began to reject and fear other races. Everyone gradually migrated away... The former battle alliance just disbanded."

"Only we witches can continue to live in the human world because we look no different from humans..." Phoebe touched Tiaotiao's fur in boredom and started playing with the little monkey's tail.

"No one knows the reason?"

"Maybe the principal knows, but..." Phoebe sighed helplessly.

"She doesn't remember it anymore..."
