Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Lilith was stunned for ten seconds, snatched the big wooden shovel from Peggy's hand, and suddenly smashed it over. The wooden shovel hit the other person's bald forehead with a crisp "bang" sound.

The man's head was hit back by the smooth blow, and the rice paste crumbs on the wooden shovel were all over his face. He lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the wooden shovel shaking on the ground.

"You are so stupid! How dare you come to town to kidnap a child during the New Year? You didn't even know who I am." Lilith sneered, staring at the stranger in front of her, drew her sword from the ring, and protected Peggy behind her.

"Go call for help, Peggy. Don't worry, I've practiced before—eh, eh?!"

Peggy opened her mouth wide as she watched her childhood friend and boss slowly float up in front of her, thrashing in the air as if drowning.

——Oh no, this trafficker knows magic! Lilith was shocked, but it was too late to use the magic barrier now.

The door creaked open again, and a young priest in a white robe walked in. He looked at the struggling blonde girl in front of him and confirmed with the bald man in the black robe, "It's her, no doubt."

"Reverend Lester?!" Peggy screamed.

"Who?" Lilith looked confused, but she knew the identity of the second person from his attire. He was a priest of the Church of Light. Her heart sank. No way? Didn't she just skip the assessment of the temple reception officer and run away to Goletia? Why would they settle the score with her later? !

"Lilith Freyr, I received a report from the local church that you used magic for agricultural production without authorization, which violated the supplementary regulations of Article 72 of the Magician Code. I am here to investigate on behalf of the Magicians' Union. The situation is true. Please do not struggle in vain and come with me." The vulture-like middle-aged man recovered from the blow of the big wooden spoon, cast a cleansing spell on himself, and spoke in a cold tone.

——Huh? Not a human trafficker? Wait, what regulations!?

Lilith was stunned. She looked at the two strangers in front of her, her mind racing, thinking while trying to buy herself some time, "I want to see Lord Aldington!" He was the pastor who had watched her grow up, maybe he could help her plead for her...

"Lord Oldington has been promoted to one of the white priests and has gone to the Temple of Light in Highgarden to serve before God. I will take over his job in Shelley Town." The young priest spoke coldly. He seemed to be a young man who adhered to dogma and was ruthless even to the local major taxpayers.

Reverend Aldington got promoted? Lilith was a little flustered after being surprised. Seeing the vulture man approaching her, she hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, I'm still a child!" I'm a minor!

The vulture man paused and looked over in confusion, "So?"

...Okay, there is no protection for minors, right? She was overthinking.

"I have to inform my family!" Lilith fought desperately.

With a creak, the door opened again, and Mary and Bella rushed in in a panic. "Reverend Lester, what did Lilith do wrong?" Mary glanced at Lilith, suppressed her emotions and tried to negotiate calmly with the pastor.

Lilith: ...Why are you here so quickly? I haven't even finished writing the lyrics yet!

"Most of the Shelley fruit plants this year have been burned, right?" the young man named Lester said. "But when I passed through the forest recently, I found that the scorched earth was all replanted with new Shelley fruit, and their growth cycle was consistent with the other surviving ones. I asked the workers in your factory, and they said it was done by your boss, Lilith Freyr, right?"

"Don't you know that this is illegal, Miss Friar? All things in the world are blessed by the God of Light. Are you acting as a god by using magic to create crops so casually?" Lester's tone was cold, and every sentence was full of questioning.

Lilith was stunned. Didn't anyone tell her not to do this? When she was in college, the teachers even asked her to help ripen various plants...

——No, Goletia is a free city-state and is not under the jurisdiction of the Gaia Empire, so it is naturally very casual. How could she forget this!

"Reverend Lester, this child is studying at Goletia College now. We, we have never been exposed to magic before, and we don't understand these rules. Otherwise, I would definitely stop her. She also wants to do good things for the town..." Mary tried to defend Lilith.

"If I hadn't heard that she was a magic apprentice, I would have directly notified the priest to carry out the holy punishment. It's already a lenient move to hand it over to the Magicians' Guild." Pastor Leicester was indifferent to Mary's words and maintained a tough attitude.

The bald man continued forward and took out a black iron ring. No one knew what it was, but their intuition told them it was not a good thing.

"...She is the daughter of Viscount James Friar!" Mary tried desperately, "Also, her mother is an earl, and she is a noble lady. You have no right to dispose of a noble at will!"

"Why are you telling them this, Mary?" Lilith saw Mary's panic-stricken expression and felt guilty and annoyed. Besides, if she really broke the law, what use would it be even if her parents were nobles?

"Turns out you're a noble lady." The bald man stopped when he heard that, gently put Lilith down from the sky, and put away the black iron ring in his hand.

"...Ah?" Lilith stood still and was stunned for a long time before she realized, the noble status is really useful?!

"It turns out to be that Freyr, the owner of the magic mine in Tanding County, right?" The bald man forced a smile, "No wonder I felt that Miss Lilith was... different at first sight."

...Do you mean the kind that hits your head so hard that it makes a loud bang? Lilith complained silently, sighing that it was great to be rich. She would smile happily when anyone mentioned her cheap dad.

"Mr. Evelyn?" The young priest frowned, dissatisfied with the arrogance of the member of the Mage Guild. He straightened his back and refused to give in to the noble in front of him.

"Ahem, Miss Friar, please get ready and come with me." The bald Mr. Evelyn remembered the purpose of his visit, looked at the pastor who had an unsuspecting look on his face, and resumed his official tone, but his attitude was a little better.

…It seems that this matter cannot be avoided, but fortunately it sounds like there is room for negotiation, Lilith pondered. If she did not cooperate, this stupid pastor might embarrass Mary.

She nodded, walked quickly to Bella, handed her the slug flower distributed by the school and reminded her, "Don't worry, Bella. If I don't come back before the end of the vacation, you can crush this yourself and go home and wait for me, okay?" It was too dangerous for Bella, a little girl, to go from Shelley Town to Goletia by herself, so it was better to leave the teleportation prop to her.

Then she looked at Mary again, "...I'm sorry, Mary." She thought that since she had awakened the memories of her past life, she would no longer be naughty and cause trouble for Mary like before, but in the end she still made her worry, which made Lilith feel guilty.

However, the tearful Mary did not shed tears at this time. She frowned and hugged Lilith tightly in her arms, wanting to give her strength.

"It'll be okay... Don't be scared, Lilith."
