Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 378: Sword of the Mother Goddess

Giselle's reaction was not slow. The next second after she saw the girl on the magic broom passing by her sight, she instinctively raised her hand. The power of elements surged around her and gathered into a huge bow. The arrow of light on the bow quickly condensed, becoming more and more solid, as if it were a real object.

Can--

Her eyes were fixed on the figure in the sky who was smiling wildly. The condensed arrow of light was slow to shoot out, illuminating her sharp chin in a snow-white light.

When Aryan came again, he saw this scene from afar.

"Gichel!"

Aryan shouted as a warning, if they didn't take action now, the thief would really run away!

But Giselle, holding the bow of light, just stared at the two figures flying away in the sky. They flew higher and higher, farther and farther away, until they turned into black dots in the sky dyed orange by the morning sun...

The arrow of light hummed and trembled in her hand. Finally, it could no longer withstand the accumulation of magical elements. After a humming sound, it broke into countless pieces and turned into a tiny meteor shower beside Giselle, and slowly turned into nothingness as it fell.

"What are you doing!?"

Aryan rushed to the edge of the cliff and questioned his companions. He had lost too much blood, and his already pale face looked even sicker, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Giselle then turned around and paused as she looked at Aryan, who was using his wooden arm as a climbing stick. She extended her hand to him and said, "I'll heal you first—"

"I asked you what you were doing?!" Her companion didn't appreciate it and waved her hand away with a "hiking stick" -

"That human stole the sword left by the Mother Goddess!"

"I know."

Seeing that Aryan was still full of energy when he spoke, Giselle did not insist on helping him and let go of his hand.

"They came from the Gaia Empire."

Giselle looked at Aryan, whom she had known for many years. After a brief surprise, he understood what she meant.

"…You crazy woman!"

Aryan was so angry, "You let her go on purpose! You just wanted to go--"

"--That's right." Giselle shrugged, looking indifferent to Aryan's accusation.

"It seems I have to go to Gaia Empire again."

“Higher!! Higher——!”

In the morning sun, some people were furious, while others were trying to catch clouds in the air with their hands.

"My ears are going deaf!" Catherine, who was sitting in the front, shouted helplessly to the back, but she still raised the front end of the broom and took them up a little bit.

“Wahoo! Hahahaha! That’s it!”

Lilith screamed excitedly again. Catherine's cool silver hair was blown by the strong wind brought by the high-speed flight and kept hitting her face. It was a bit painful, but she didn't care at all, and even grinned and laughed.

Breaking through the barrier of gravity and flying into the vast sky is indeed the eternal yearning of mankind. Since the gargoyle left, she has not experienced this kind of pure freedom and happiness for a long time. It is so refreshing!

"You're so brave!" Catherine's voice came from the front, with a reproachful tone, "What if I can't catch you?"

"Eh? Didn't you let your tits out as a hint for me to jump?" Lilith leaned forward, pressed herself against Catherine and buried her head in her neck and shouted. While confronting the tall woman, Lilith was already prepared after seeing the flash of orange.

Catherine: ...She really just happened to arrive.

"I just thought I was finished. Being chased by the villain and having to jump off a cliff to survive is a privilege only the protagonist gets. But when I saw it was you, I thought I could give it another try. Hahaha, you got the glory again!" Lilith was very proud.

"Meow~" The orange kitten appeared out of nowhere and jumped onto Catherine's head, causing the broom to shake in the air.

"Wow, Mimi! Auntie kiss! You're so great~! It's you who found me again, right!" Lilith pulled the orange cat down from Catherine's head, and regardless of the fact that it pressed its white paws against her face, she pressed it down and kissed it madly.

"If you keep doing this, there may not be a next time." Catherine listened to the familiar's struggling meows behind her. She wanted to keep a straight face but couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

"Don't be jealous, I praise you too!" The cat disappeared with a bang just as it appeared. Lilith's free hands, which had nowhere to put, stroked Catherine's hair, and then casually stuffed it into Catherine's black robe. Finally, she didn't have to eat her hair.

"You finally have your own broom, that's great, Princess, and it's quite comfortable to sit on!" Although she was in the air, Lilith felt particularly at ease and even swung her feet. "From now on, we have one more way to escape!"

"You are taking too much risk. This is the country of Mulet, and it's a gray area without laws like Shadowlock." Catherine started to educate Lilith before she even landed.

"Wow, I'm telling you, this place is really interesting!" Lilith didn't accept the complaints in Catherine's words at all, and enthusiastically shared her experiences along the way with her. "I really saw all kinds of monsters along the way. The most outrageous thing is, you know, I met a tiefling, and Ian said she was actually-"

"——Believers of the God of Light." Catherine's voice came from the wind.

"Wow, you've even learned to answer questions quickly!" Lilith excitedly turned sideways again to look at Catherine's face, causing the broom to sway left and right in the sky again. "It seems that although you missed out on practice during this vacation, you did learn a lot of other things!"

"Sit still!" Catherine had a headache and slowed down. "This is not surprising. They are the legacy of history. During the war of faith launched by the Church of Light, some alien races gave up their faith in order to survive and chose to convert to light."

"So she is really a resident of the Gaia Empire?" Lilith was surprised.

Catherine nodded. "Although they are not recognized by the church, there are indeed many such alien races scattered in every corner of the empire."

"How interesting..." Lilith sighed thoughtfully after hearing this, and then poked Catherine's spine, "You Bishop even hid it in the history books!"

"I didn't write it." Catherine's lower back was tickled by the poking, but she had nowhere to hide. She turned around and saw Lilith's red face. She didn't know whether it was because of the flattery or excitement. She decided to make her feel uncomfortable. "Instead of thinking about these unimportant things, it's better to think about what you are about to face."

"Huh?" Lilith didn't react for a moment.

"Leila is waiting for you downstairs."

There was a hint of gloating in Catherine's voice. Without waiting for Lilith to react, she leaned forward, and the front end of the broom suddenly pointed downward, swooping down from the clouds with Lilith's wailing.
