Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 355 Friends of friends

The unpredictable situation of the Gaia Empire eventually affected the Forest of Elves. However, outsiders were unaware of all this, and Goletia's life remained the same as before.

only……

"That's enough, all of you!" Teacher Wolfe ordered the people in the training ground to stop in a reprimanding tone. "I'm here to teach people, not donkeys! When I say rest time, rest!"

Lilith then put away her sword and pulled Lucas, who was lying in the mud.

"Thank you." Her sparring partner today is Lucas.

The other party just waved his hand gently, wiped the cold mud off his face, and didn't even bother to say anything.

Ian and Bobby also walked to the sidelines one after another. Lilith took out a homemade drink and handed it to them. The clay figures drank it quietly until everyone on the training ground left one after another. Only then did they recover.

"How long are we going to keep this a secret from everyone?" Bobby finished a large glass of juice and asked as he looked at the innocent classmates who were playing and joking as they passed by.

"Soon." Lilith replied after a moment of silence, "Catherine said that this requires a suitable opportunity—"

"Tsk—" Lucas sneered, his blue hair hanging down. No one could see his expression. Lilith turned her head and could only see the corners of his mouth raised in sarcasm.

"I'm starving. Let's go." He pressed Ian's shoulders to gain leverage to get up. Lilith, that woman with extraordinary strength, would always drain all his strength from her every time he met her during training.

But not long after he walked, Lucas heard the familiar footsteps again. He sighed and tried to pretend that he didn't hear them, but the other party kept chasing him.

"Please spare me, Lilith." Lucas was tired and hungry at the moment and really didn't want to say anything more.

"Why, Lucas?" Lilith knew he didn't want to hear it, but she still asked.

"I completely understand why you resented Catherine before, but now you clearly know the reason why the sea people had to leave their homes. I thought you could understand the decision made by Ozler..."

"I understand. I totally understand." Lucas responded perfunctorily and continued to drag his sore legs forward.

"You are all my friends, Lucas." Lilith continued to pursue, "Isn't the truth enough for you to understand Catherine again and get along with her? Besides, it was not her who made the decision back then-"

"Your friends don't have to be friends with each other. Don't be so childish, Lilith!" Lucas was not in a good mood.

There was nothing wrong with what he said. Although Lilith had her own opinion, she still couldn't refute it. She just asked persistently: "I want to know the reason, Lucas. Catherine is obviously a very good person. No one dislikes her except you!"

The blue-haired boy finally stopped and sighed.

"After all, you have never suffered any hardship, Lilith, and you may never suffer any hardship in the future. You are a lady from a noble family. You have your own huge business, and you have teachers, classmates and family members who love you..." Lucas turned his head and looked at Lilith beside him.

She was completely different from when they first met. Lucas still remembered her appearance as a naive and gullible rich girl. Now she had a firm gaze and a tall figure, but the only thing that remained unchanged was the silly sincerity and enthusiasm in her eyes.

She is different from me...

The turmoil in Ozler shattered the beautiful life of his family, and the constant migration shattered his ideals. He admitted that he looked down on those hypocritical "elites" and even disliked people like Catherine in his bones, thinking that they were hypocritical and sanctimonious...

"I just don't like it... no, I hate it." Lucas looked into Lilith's blue eyes and said seriously.

"——I hate those who feel they have a mission to save the world, because those people don't have to shed sweat or blood, and all they think about every day is how to sacrifice others."

Lilith opened her mouth in shock, "You, you can't blame Sean's affairs on her-"

"I didn't," Lucas denied flatly.

"I am more responsible for Sean's affairs than she is, I understand that.

But what will the future hold, Lilith? Will I die? Will Ian die? What about Lulu, Bobby, Hannah, Gianna, and the others? Can you predict it?"

Lilith opened and closed her lips several times, but was unable to answer the question.

"Yes, no one knows. But the only thing I know is that Catherine will not die. No matter how many of Goletia's students sacrifice, she will definitely survive to the end, stepping on the corpses of everyone and becoming the queen who is praised for her outstanding achievements, just like Zora in the past."

Lucas' words were as sharp as a knife, and this was the real reason why he still resisted Catherine.

"I don't hate her. Some people are born good at ordering others around. It's a great talent. I can't learn it. I'm just a selfish little person, Lilith."

He has already experienced the bitterness, sweetness, sourness and spiciness of life, and believes that he sees it more clearly than anyone else.

"This city, this empire, is mostly made up of selfish people like me. Everyone does their part to keep the city running." But now even this doesn't work. He just wants to make some money to support himself and his mother and sister, but he has to embark on a journey and become the so-called hero.

Who wants to be a hero?

"Lucas, everyone has their own difficulties. Catherine's life is not as glamorous and wanton as you think. You think the life of the crown princess is too easy..." Lilith refuted seriously, "She has been working hard for Ozler over the years and has done a lot of work that others can't even see."

"Come on, Lilith." Lucas didn't want to listen. "You think so because she is your friend. If you were just my friend, you would just join me in scolding these self-righteous guys."

He walked a few steps, turned back and smiled at Lilith again, "Oh, you are not without flaws, dear Lilith, I finally discovered it."

Lilith looked at him in surprise.

"You trust your friends too much." Lucas joked, but his tone was serious. "You take friendship too seriously."

"You can always support Catherine because you trust her and believe that she can do everything she promised. Even if she said that the moon is square and the land under our feet is round, you would believe it, right?"

"It's round in the first place..." Lilith muttered, causing Lucas to almost roll his eyes to the back of his head.

"——But there's nothing wrong with that. You're also my friend." Lilith thought for a moment and looked at the boy in front of her. "I believe in you too, Lucas."

There are too many things in this world that she cannot understand. Only the small and warm friendships around her are the most real things she can feel.

"...Your naivety will hurt you sooner or later." Lucas couldn't look Lilith in the eye and looked away in annoyance.

"But don't worry, I won't be a deserter." Lucas laughed sarcastically, "Not only will I not escape, I will definitely survive to the end."

Lilith breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that at least he and Catherine could still be together. That was enough. "Thank you—"

"I want to see how much you, a fool, are willing to suffer for your "friends."

Lucas said and turned and ran.

"You're crazy!" Lilith yelled behind him.
