Chapter 282: Sweet Sugar-Free Lemonade and Fireworks Blooming for You

The super operators involved in this fireworks display, although officially members of the Hillenbrand Town City Hall and police station, had only recently been front-line soldiers and officers of the Holy Alliance for a few months.

From the moment they learned about their extraordinary powers, it was always to defeat monsters or enemies.

No one ever thought that spells could also be used for enjoyment.

Just like before coming here, no one imagined that magical devices could be used as cooking and farming tools.

There is no doubt that these are all the impact of that succubus on their "worldview."

When Tina found them and hoped they would do this, many elves, nobles, and dwarves agreed to help, but they essentially did so out of "respect for Tina" and "obedience to orders."

Deep down, they still felt this was a bit of a waste, and even some proud individuals had their complaints about it.

Wouldn’t that make them just like those attention-seeking clowns and circus animals?

However, when they actually arrived at this joyful and grand celebration, enjoying the snacks produced by the magic devices like the common folk and feeling this somewhat "luxurious" happiness, they watched as these once deadly spells exploded meaninglessly in the sky and then vanished. Listening to the cheers and gasps that even the sounds of magic could not drown out, they suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of "fulfillment" and "joy."

Although stepping onto the battlefield, they firmly believed they were fighting to "protect their homeland," and when casting spells, their hearts were also filled with a sense of honor and determination.

But that was in complete contrast to directly hearing the real laughter and joy of the "people" they had been close to for a long time.

This was a feeling that seemed more genuine than honor, pride, or righteousness, and it was equally powerful.

In a daze, it felt as if they heard Lord Lolth softly asking a question.

"Can extraordinary power exist just to make ordinary people a little happier and more joyful?"

The answer is surely yes in everyone’s heart.

"Master Lolth!"

Tina’s exclamation made everyone realize that it was not just an illusion.

Lord Lolth really came to the backstage.

The Superoperators, who were in a break period, looked over and saw Lolth carrying a big pile of snacks and drinks.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

She smiled as she shared a big pile of food and drinks with the hardworking Superoperators.

"Come take a break and regain your strength."

Everyone took the delicious snacks offered by Lolth, showing grateful expressions.

Tina, who had been coordinating the fireworks show from the front stage to the back, looked at the suddenly appearing Lolth. After the surprise faded, she became serious again in front of everyone.

"Mistress Lolth… um, their performance has just finished halfway."

Tina said awkwardly.

"I know, I know. Don’t worry, just leave the rest to me."

As Lolth said this, she handed her last cup to Tina.

"This is a cup of lemonade I personally made. You’ve worked hard too… The fireworks are really beautiful. I almost thought I wouldn’t make it after coming out of the torture tower, but luckily I saw them," Lolth said with a smile while holding the lemonade. "But… you should enjoy the celebration too, after all, you are the greatest contributor to the success of the Western New Development Zone. How can you not enjoy this celebration?"

Tina, praised by Lolth, felt a blush rise on her cheeks.

"It’s… it’s what I should do, and it’s because you trained me well, Mistress Lolth…"

Although she didn’t seem very excited, her jumbled choice of words showed that Tina was clearly a bit too happy and confused.

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about all that, just watch carefully—I’ve prepared a surprise for you! Ah, I’m a bit nervous and thirsty, let me have a sip, don’t mind me!"

Lolth said this, took a sip of lemonade to soothe her throat, then handed the glass to Tina, snapped her fingers, and disappeared.

Tina stared at the glass in her hand, feeling the coolness of the glass and the warmth from where Lolth had touched it, and noticed the soft impression where their fingers had brushed. She carefully turned the glass 180 degrees, aligning the spot that Lolth had just sipped from with her own mouth.

Then, like a drinking ostrich or a giraffe, she held her hands almost still, bent slightly, and leaned down to place her lips on the rim of the glass, gently sipping the lemonade as if she were kissing it.

The refreshing tartness of the lemon, the subtle fragrance of the tea, and the coolness of the ice mixed together, making even a simple glass of lemonade special thanks to Lolth’s skill.

But clearly, Tina tasted something else that was different.

Even though the liquid level hardly dropped, she took a long "drink" for a while.

After a moment, she raised her head, her face almost as red as a persimmon.

"So sweet…"

Tina whispered softly, even though this cup of lemon tea had no added honey or sugary ingredients.

But clearly, Tina had found sweetness from somewhere else on her own.

This cup of lemon tea had the taste of Mistress Lolth!

Mistress Lolth actually shared a cup of tea with her; could this be a hint?

Her actions must surely have Mistress Lolth’s approval; this is at least a signal!

Maybe tonight…

As Tina was lost in her thoughts about the tea, a voice from Lolth suddenly interrupted her mind, echoing above Hillenbrand Town.

"Hi— Good evening, residents of Hillenbrand Town! Did you enjoy the fireworks show?"

In the sudden sky, Lolth made the people of Hillenbrand Town excited once again.

"Looks amazing!"

"What a thrill!"

Shouts like mountains and oceans rose up, as if Lolth’s appearance was even better than a thousand fireworks.

"This is thrilling—what comes next will surely leave you speechless!"

With a smile, Lolth gently snapped her fingers.

In an instant, the entire sky blossomed with colorful flowers made of light.

As these flowers fully bloomed, they swirled and transformed into the fields, forests, and streams that are common around Hillenbrand Town, with lines of lively flying birds and animals that flashed and burst into countless stars. Then, whales leaped from the ocean, penguins slid across the ice, mermaids sang on the rocks, and camel bells rang in the desert—all of these wonderful and miraculous scenes appeared one after another.

Because of the space magic, this scene even felt three-dimensional, as if it was truly happening right in front of everyone.

In the end, everything was packed into colorful bubbles, and when everyone came to their senses, they found themselves in a sea of bubbles.

"This special ‘fireworks’ show is dedicated to you—the residents of Hillenbrand Town and the Superoperator, especially… my dear Miss Tina."
