Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 523: There is something worth remembering about Gorettia

"How, how is that possible! No way! What are you talking about?"

Zephirion immediately denied Lilith's words, and then he suddenly realized something -

"You remember? You remember, don't you?!"

He grabbed Lilith's hand, a hopeful glint in his eyes. He had never mentioned that word to her before! She had repeatedly told him that it was something he must never say, not even to Fustwin.

Lilith now looked at Zephirion with even greater shock.

"...So there really is a 'system', right?" After a long moment, Lilith asked again.

She had originally only guessed that since there was a mission, there must be someone to deploy it. She was just guessing based on the ideas she'd read in the novels back then, but seeing Black Dragon's reaction, he actually knew this?!

This made her wipe away her tears and re-examine the black dragon in front of her, "Who are you..."

Were they really that familiar? Or was she a complete idiot in her past life, showing off her system everywhere?

"I'm the only one who knows this. But, it's not what you think, it definitely isn't!" Zephirian's words became halting and his tone became impatient: "The system, the system is a good thing! You said so!"

His obvious deviation made Lilith feel something strange. She pulled her hand out from the black dragon's grasp, and her eyes changed from the initial shock and confusion to a hint of questioning.

"How did you find me? Did the 'system' tell you?" She calmed herself down and looked into Zephirion's eyes.

This was clearly not the first time they met. In their several encounters over the years, Zephirion's attitude towards her had changed several times, but he had never recognized her, which meant that her appearance was different from her previous life. But why did he suddenly recognize her when he was in Highgarden?

Black Dragon hurriedly shook his head, "No, how is that possible? I've never even seen that thing!"

Lilith said nothing more, but looked deep into his eyes, trying to tell if he was lying.

Her attitude made Zephyrion gradually become irritable. He had the same expression when Lilith questioned him whether he had done anything bad. Don't think he didn't remember it!

"Don't look at me like that!"

The faded childhood memories returned, and the feeling of being grabbed by Lilith by the back of the neck made him turn his neck uncomfortably, and his tone became exasperated.

"I said it's impossible! It must be something else!"

"Then how did I die? As my 'best friend', don't you know?" Lilith was no longer afraid of the black dragon. Faced with his bad temper that always made him freak out, she just kept asking questions.

"What exactly is God? Is it something that can die easily?"

"Of course not..." Zephirion responded dryly. With his simple mind, how could he answer such complicated questions, even though he was Lilith's follower.

"What was that so-called mission? Did I really complete it? When did I declare that my mission was complete and I was going home? You can't even tell if I'm gone or dead? As friends, shouldn't we say goodbye?"

So many details could not stand up to scrutiny. If he had not been able to really call out her name, Lilith sincerely felt that this idiot might have made another mistake.

Her questions came one after another, making Zephyrion's head buzz, but this guy couldn't answer any of them.

This made Lilith suspicious again, and she shrank towards the wall behind her, "Best friend?"

That's all? You don't know anything!

"I don't know. How could I possibly know?" Zephirion was speechless and lost his temper again. "You tell me nothing! You teach me nothing! Fustwin takes care of me more than you do! You just play with those guys all day long!"

"who……"

"Those annoying people! Your friends! Why do you have to find so many friends?" She kept picking up people at home like picking up trash, and kept meeting new friends on her adventurous journey. They attracted too much of her attention, and he hated all of them!

Zephirion wiped his eyes fiercely.

"What's the use of them in the end? It's still because of Fustwen and I found you..." His voice began to choke again.

"A bunch of short-lived nasty bastards!"

Lilith herself had not yet recovered from the huge shock and was completely clueless about the past. At this moment, she was unable to bear the Black Dragon's emotions. Looking at the Black Dragon who was cursing everything but couldn't hold back his tears, she felt fatigue spreading from her spine all the way to her chest. She couldn't help but sigh silently and let the Black Dragon vent his emotions for a long time.

Zephirion's tears were so conspicuous in the dark room. Lilith raised her hand and touched them with her fingertips. Such a gentle gesture made the chattering little dragon quiet down again. His moist eyes were so bright in the darkness.

"I understand." Lilith looked at him with some pity in her eyes and stopped pressing Black Dragon. "You were still a child back then, right?"

Zephirion's tears flowed even more. He lowered his head and buried his face in Lilith's palm, feeling extremely wronged. "I begged you so much at that time, begging you to take me with you, but you said that world was not suitable for me to survive...

We had a fight, and I went to the Darncart Gate and the Gaia Empire. I messed around everywhere, waiting for you to come and take me back, but you never came. When I returned to the Elf Forest, they all said you had left.

So there was no so-called farewell between them. Lilith refused to take him with her, and he was angry and went into a cold war with her, so he never saw her again.

He hated her cruelty so much, but it turned out that she was not going home, but was dead. He buried his face in Lilith's palm and cried even harder.

"I missed you so much, Lilith."

She was the first person he saw when he came into the world, but she was also the first person to leave him. It was she who made him understand what separation meant.

"Come with me, you don't belong here." Zephyrion raised his wet face and begged earnestly.

In this small dark room, the Black Dragon found his god, but his god could hardly respond to his request.

"Where can you take me?" Lilith asked in a low voice while leaning against the wall. She didn't think the black dragon had the ability to take her home.

"Go back to the Elf Forest! I don't want you to stay here. This is where humans stay!" He stood up and tried to pull Lilith up, like a child who was tired of playing and wanted to go home.

"...I am human, Zephirion."

The black dragon's words reminded Lilith that, regardless of her former identity, she was now just an ordinary human. She had long since adapted to and enjoyed life in Goletia, where she had family, friends, and teachers. But what was there in the Elf Forest? She had no idea; it was too unfamiliar to her.

"You want to stay here?" Zephirion felt Lilith's force pulling him back, his tone filled with disbelief. "Is there anything worth staying in Gloria?!"

"—Lilith?"

A soft call came from outside the door, and the conversation in the room suddenly stopped.

It was Catherine who had returned.
