Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 567 The Empire Thanks You for Your Contribution

"Tighter, tighter! Hey, your waist is so thin, of course you have to show it off!"

Lilith instructed the tailor to move the buttonholes further inwards. Her companions nodded in agreement, not caring at all that the model's ears were getting redder.

"But, but, didn't I say I was just going to accompany you to look at the dresses..."

Ian was so stiff that his hands and feet were out of control, but he still stood there obediently, allowing Lilith and Mrs. Green, the owner of the tailor shop, to play with him.

I don't know if it's because of Mr. Wolfe's constant fighting, but Ian has grown up quickly in the past few years and has lost his youthful appearance. The black suit he wore was cut to fit him very closely, showing off his height, long legs, broad shoulders and narrow waist.

But Lilith was obviously still not satisfied and was discussing heatedly with Mrs. Green about the cutting of the front and cuffs.

The graduation prom is approaching, and Green's Clothing Store has been doing very good business recently. Customers are coming and going, and girls who are trying on prom dresses are constantly passing by. Everyone's eyes are full of excitement and anticipation. When passing by the side hall near the front door, everyone can't help but look inside.

Who made Ian so eye-catching in his slim black suit? Lilith pushed all the loose hair on his forehead back, revealing his beautiful eyebrows and eyes hidden underneath. A brave girl even whistled, then ran out laughing with her sisters. Ian looked at Lilith blankly.

"It's human nature!" Lilith raised her head and smiled. "Just wait and see. That lady will definitely invite you to dance at the ball."

Ian took a deep breath helplessly. After only slightly adjusting the size of the buttons, he felt difficulty breathing and was restricted. How did the ladies of Highgarden fit into those corsets? It was incredible... Fortunately, those were no longer popular in Gloria.

He wanted to protest, but when he looked down, he saw Lilith circling him like a little bee, her face showing a lightheartedness he hadn't seen in a long time. She had always looked worried these days, and it was rare for her to look so cheerful...

Forget it, it’s not that unbearable - Ian raised his chin and cooperated with Lilith to continue adjusting the collar of his shirt.

"Oh, Miss Lilith, should I be thankful that you have a talent for magic? If you had chosen to learn tailoring, I would have ended up on the streets."

Mrs. Green smiled and complimented, but her eyes never left Ian. Her eyes were burning, and she was obviously thinking about how to promote Lilith's unique designs to the fashionable young gentlemen in Highgarden.

——Of course, the premise is that the damn war cloud can dissipate as soon as possible, so that people can think about dressing up instead of saving their lives again.

Lilith finally straightened up with satisfaction and clapped her hands. "Alright! Perfect! Mrs. Green, I'll revise it according to this final version. Thank you for your help."

"It's my pleasure, Miss Lilith." Mrs. Green responded with a smile and took out a piece of chalk to mark the places that needed to be modified. "I will definitely modify your and your friends' dresses as soon as possible. Oh, Mr. Ian, you can go change your clothes too."

These words were like amnesty to Ian. He moved his hands and feet as stiffly as a mannequin, but still escaped from this side hall as quickly as possible, which was like a public execution.

"Next person!"

Lilith was still not satisfied, and clapped her hands to call the next model to come in. She had finally waited until the weekend when everyone was gathered, and no one could escape her "clutches". The situation was turbulent now, and no one knew whether there would be another graduation dance, so of course she had to take it seriously.

Lulu and the others had already had their clothes altered. Upon hearing this, she looked at her fellow Guardians around her and asked, "Who's turn is it? Eh? Where's Lucas?"

"That guy really... still wants to be a ball waiter?" Lilith sighed, hands on her hips. "He really has an unshakable heart for a social animal. Never mind, next one—"

"No... Is Lucas arguing with someone?"

Jaina's partner Gardner was originally observing the rows of silk bow ties on the wall. He lowered his head to glance out the window, but his sharp eyes caught the conspicuous blue hair at the corner of the street. Lucas had his back to the tailor shop and was pushing and shoving with someone.

"—please, Lucas! Let me in!"

It was Lucas's brother-in-law Fred. This shrewd businessman no longer had the composure he used to have. His clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and there were bruises around his eyes and mouth. He was now eager to rush into the tailor shop.

But he was no match for Lucas's strength. Although the Sea People boy was cunning, he never dared to slack off during classroom training. He stood in front of Fred like a wall and refused to give in no matter how he threw a tantrum.

"I told you, the princess isn't here!"

Lucas looked very ugly. He tried to take Fred away who suddenly appeared, but the other party was a strong adult man with some strength. The two of them were deadlocked on the corner of the street. What was worse was that more and more people were watching.

"Lucas!" Lulu screamed from behind.

A spell was chanted, and Lucas was pulled backward by a force, forced to separate from Fred.

"What's wrong with you?" Lilith stepped forward quickly. She didn't recognize the man, but she saw the wound on his face. So she turned to Lucas and said, "Are you trying to attract the security team?"

He even got into a fight in the street. What kind of thing is that? A delayed rebellious phase?

Lucas's face turned pale with embarrassment. He was unable to argue and did not resist when his companions grabbed him. He lowered his head dejectedly.

"Ms. Lilith! It's me! It's me!" Lucas said nothing, but the other person ran forward excitedly, "I'm Fred, do you remember me?"

"...Ah?" Lilith searched her mind three times but couldn't remember who this person was.

"We didn't fight. Lucas is my brother. Have you forgotten?" Fred didn't mind Lilith's unfamiliar look at all. He stepped forward and pulled the stiff seaman boy out from the crowd. He held his shoulders tightly and smiled warmly at Lilith.

Lilith suddenly realized and finally had some impression of the unrecognizable man in front of her - it was Lucas's shrewd businessman brother-in-law.

"Mr. Fred, are you okay?" Lilith glanced at Lucas, who was silent, and exchanged pleasantries with the man in front of her: "You are injured. If you don't treat it quickly, it will not work—"

"Ms. Lilith, is Her Royal Highness the Princess in there? Why? Why is the Western Expedition stopped? How can it be stopped?" But Fred was not here to listen to these useless concerns. He lost his usual courtesy and asked Lilith anxiously.

The price of those felts kept rising, and he was about to make a fortune. But before he could even make a move, Fred discovered that the Highgarden garrison had almost completely deserted, and headed south?! The felt he had stockpiled was out of season, and its price had plummeted overnight.

How could they stop fighting? Why did the army suddenly turn around and head towards the hot and humid southern border? Fred was filled with despair and remembered the medicine he had stockpiled. It was his last hope.

He finally managed to get the attention of the quartermaster, who looked at people with his chin, and praised the batch of potions he had purchased from Goletia to the skies before he agreed to inspect them.

After inspecting the goods, the other party just sneered, randomly drew a cross on a document with a feather pen, and sealed the warehouse on the grounds that "the quality is poor, but it is urgently needed during the war, so we requisition it."

He didn't even give a penny as compensation, just threw Fred a stamped receipt with the following words on it:

"The Empire thanks you for your contribution."
