The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

Meilan praised, "Great idea!"

“If you could deduce that, the hotel should have figured it out long ago too,” Kurara said meticulously.

Sylph deduced, "Kurara is right. Unless they deliberately lay a trap, they still won't be able to catch them."

“My teammates are all great!” Lorenwei said happily. “So everyone, think about their mission requirements: they must be archmages or higher who can use light magic.”

Sylph slapped her hand: "The hotel's higher-ups have tried to catch the thief, but they weren't capable enough! The thief is a being of dark attributes or a ghost!"

Meilan had some doubts: "Could it be a ghost?"

She shuddered.

"You're afraid of ghosts? You can even knock away a giant blade warrior!" Lorenwei exclaimed in surprise.

Meilan pursed her lips, hesitating as if she wanted to nod...

Although ghosts belong to the spirit realm and are not part of the demon race, they are still considered outsiders by humans. It's quite embarrassing to be afraid of one kind of outsider than another. She felt ashamed and wanted to cover her face.

Kurara's tone changed slightly: "Aren't ghosts scary?"

"...You two are both afraid of ghosts?" Lorenwei exclaimed in surprise, "Kurara, you're a paladin!"

Chapter 117 It takes a young lady's original underwear to get up! Sylph's Memories

Lorenvi found it quite amusing that a paladin like Kurara was afraid of ghosts.

In her previous life, Lorenwei lived in another world and was afraid of ghosts when she was young. But as she grew older, especially after coming here and being able to learn martial arts and magic, she no longer cared about ghosts.

The fear of ghosts stems primarily from the terror of the unknown. But in a world where even magic exists, what is there to be afraid of?

Kurara's face fell at the mention of ghosts: "But ghosts are spirits, they come and go without a trace, they might be lurking under the bed at night..."

Meilan nodded vigorously beside her: "Yes, yes, ghosts specifically target the feet of children who don't eat properly and don't cover themselves with the blankets!"

“You guys listened to too many ghost stories when you were little…” Lorenwei said helplessly.

But when she saw the expressions and reactions on their faces after saying it so casually, she couldn't help but laugh.

Kurara said seriously, "Paladin's attacks have holy attributes, which have double the damage against undead creatures and also increase the damage against demons. But ghosts are spirits, and physical attacks from paladins are ineffective against them. I'm not a light mage, and I don't know the high-level paladin's Holy Light spell, so I have no way to deal with it..."

She was hyperactive as a child, running around the palace at night. The royal housekeeper who took care of her couldn't hit the princess, so she could only scare her by saying that ghosts would snatch children.

Meilan, on the other hand, had been frightened by her grandparents. But for a demon king to be afraid of ghosts and spirits is truly...

Sylph, however, straightened her back and stood up: "Hmph, I'm not afraid of ghosts. Oh dear..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she kicked the corner of the table with her toe and doubled over in pain.

Lorenwei was speechless.

She remembered; in her past life, the blonde Sylph was terrified of ghosts. Once, while exploring a dungeon, she had calmly shot down several undead, but when she encountered a green ghost beast, she was so frightened that she hugged herself and dared not draw her bow again…

Lorenwei asked, "By the way, if it's summoning ghosts, are you afraid?"

Kurara swallowed hard: "Isn't summoning a ghost still a ghost?"

Meilan had already begun to look around warily.

"Okay, I understand." Lorenwei was almost certain that Kurara and Meilan were indeed afraid of ghosts, and she smiled reassuringly. "This is just our guess, it might not actually be a ghost. We'll have to wait until tonight to be sure, but at least for now, we need to set up bait, right?"

"You mean hanging the underwear outside?"

“No, the washroom is fine. I’ll set up the subtlest magical warnings, without any traps, so the magical fluctuations won’t be easily detected.” Lorenwei checked the washroom and, sure enough, there was a clothesline that could be pulled out.

She stretched out the clothesline and gestured for Kula to come over: "Come on, take off your bra and hang it here first."

"What? Do I really have to take off what I'm wearing?" Kurara turned around to get something from her luggage. She was wearing the clothes Loren had made for her and didn't want to use them as bait.

"No, everything in the luggage has been washed. I suspect the other party can tell it's a trap just by the smell." Lorenwei naturally disagreed; she just wanted to see Kurala and the other women take off their underwear—that's the feeling she loved!

Sylph looked at Lorenve suspiciously: "How is that possible?"

"Underwear only smells of sweat after it's been worn. Don't forget, the other person is a seasoned pervert; he might notice something's wrong just by smelling it."

The three women thought about it for a moment and it seemed to make sense.

Kurara was about to nod when she suddenly realized something: "Wait, you almost fooled me. It's not right for underwear hung up to dry to smell of sweat, is it? Didn't they all get washed?!"

“Uh… okay…” Lorenwei lost the argument.

The three women each took out a bra, rinsed it briefly in water, and hung it on the clothesline in the bathroom.

"The magical warnings I've set up mainly serve as alarm bells, but more importantly, they also act as tracking devices. I've set up magical markings on the bra. Unless someone is a Grand Magister or higher, they won't easily detect my markings." Lorenwei listlessly began setting up the magical warning eyes and markings.

Sure enough, it's either used underwear that's been taken off, or it just doesn't arouse any interest...

Lorenvi casually lamented, "These bras aren't just taken off; they're soulless..."

Sylph looked at her listless appearance with a cold eye, snorted and pinched her arm: "You're still thinking about the used underwear?"

"Huh?" Lorenwei wasn't hurt by the pinch, but rather surprised that Sylph had regained her memories.

The brave warrior Mu Zhe had indeed said something similar to her.

Sylph was a little stunned after she said that. Original flavor? What did I just say?

A boy's voice faintly echoed in her mind, sounding like a coquettish voice: "No, I can't get up. No healing magic will work. I need a medicinal catalyst."

Sylph subconsciously closed her eyes, and in her mind, a scene of a wooden house in a hot spring town vaguely appeared.

This appears to be a first-person perspective shot, with the person in the view taking care of a black-haired boy lying on a tatami mat.

Judging from the reflection in a full-length mirror in the room, the person in the main field of vision is a blonde elf girl wearing a white yukata, sitting next to the boy lying on the quilt.

The elven girl asked curiously, "What is this 'medicinal catalyst' you're talking about?"

The black-haired boy had a smug look on his face that made you want to punch him. He said in a sarcastic tone, "I once received guidance from a master that healing magic is barely effective for this kind of injury. Only a young lady's used underwear can help this hero recover. Otherwise, I'll be bedridden for at least ten days to half a month!"

"Original flavor?" The female elf still didn't understand. She leaned forward slightly and asked curiously, "What is original flavor? Is it the same as the yogurt you made before? I remember you said original flavor back then."

As she moved, the elven girl's golden hair fell onto the blanket covering the boy. Her slightly oversized white yukata was slightly open at the collar.

The dark-haired boy glanced at the beautiful scenery and said, "Original flavor is what you just took off... like the white embroidered one you're wearing under your yukata right now. If you take it off and give it to me, it can be used as a medicinal ingredient..."

"Ah!" The girl quickly realized that her chest was exposed. She jumped up, covered her chest, and straightened her clothes, crying out in panic, "You're injured like this, and you still have the nerve to peep? Pervert!"

At this moment, the black-haired boy's mouth suddenly formed an "O" shape, and his facial expression became even more interesting.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?" the elven girl asked with concern.

Because of the elven girl's flustered movement as she stood up, the dark-haired boy caught another glimpse of what was under her yukata. His eyes gleaming, he said with a sly grin, "Hehe, floral lace panties would be nice too..."

"Ah!" The elven girl quickly covered the hem of her yukata, and soon swung her fist and punched the boy on the head: "Pervert! Pervert! Pervert! I'll beat you to death! You'll just lie in bed for half a month!"

"Help! A promiscuous female nurse is assaulting a patient! Tatami Muzan! Night shift ward!"

……

Seeing Sylph staring blankly with her eyes closed, Lorenvi felt guilty.

In his past life, he couldn't hold his breath in the hot spring women's bath and had to float to the surface, where he was discovered and then severely beaten by Aisser. While recovering, he was fed rice porridge made by Sylph, which worsened his injuries... He lay in his bath room for a long time, unable to get up.

The elf Sylph had been taking care of him, and she looked apologetic.

I was joking with her that I wanted her used underwear, and I happened to see the elf bending over to take care of me, her yukata showing a little too much skin on the side, so I blurted it out. Then I got beaten up by Sylph and quickly passed out.

When I woke up again, there was a white embroidered bra on my chest under the covers...

This female elf is definitely trying to frame me! When Aisser and the others, or even more people, return, we'll catch the thief who stole the underwear! Mu Zhe made this judgment instantly, and in a panic, he struggled to hide his bra under the tatami mat, despite his illness…

However, Lorenwei was unaware that Sylph was present when Mu Zhe frantically hid the stolen goods.

The elf girl, her face flushed, was hiding in the closet, watching the hero wake up through the crack in the sliding door. She was so angry at him that her blond hair practically exploded.

"Idiot! Big idiot! The biggest idiot in the world!"

……

This is……

My past memories? The fragments of memory were long, but reality was only a short time. Sylph reopened her eyes, feeling that her memories seemed to be gradually returning.

She snapped out of her reverie and stared blankly at Lorenwei.

However, what appeared before her was a bright and lovely girl, even more adorable than the blonde elf she had just recalled.

Why is it that this girl in his mind has a strange sense of overlap with the image of that black-haired boy?

……

Lorenwei placed a magical warning in the bathroom.

Magic traps could have been deployed here, but the fluctuations of trap magic are too strong. Even Lorenwei, with her exceptional micro-management skills, couldn't guarantee that the opponent wouldn't detect it. Therefore, she chose a warning spell with extremely low magic fluctuations.

Meilan secretly admired him: "Truly amazing. Even under the suppression of the secret technique, I couldn't detect the warnings and markings he set up."

Kurara tried to use her senses to detect her setup and quickly exclaimed in surprise, "Your control is amazing, I really can't sense it."

Meilan cheered, "Everything is ready, we're just waiting for someone to steal it!"

Lorenvi winked at her: "Keep your voice down, okay? It might not be a person, it could be a ghost!"

"Don't scare me..." Meilan subconsciously took a step back.

Kurara came over and pinched Lorenvi's cheek: "You're such a chatterbox, don't scare the child."

“I’m not a child!” Meilan protested.

Lorenwei broke free from Kurara's grasp, rubbing her cheek and smiling at Meilan: "You're not afraid of ghosts, are you, sir?"

Meilan: "Kurara is afraid, and Sylph is afraid! But they're not young anymore."

"Where are you referring to 'not small'?" Lorenwei chuckled, glancing at the two women's chests.

“What am I afraid of?” Sylph immediately retorted. This time, she immediately lowered her head, afraid that her toes would kick the table again.

After some commotion, the four of them assigned tasks to handle the events leading up to the theft.

"Wait a minute, Lorenwei, why aren't your underwear hanging in the bathroom?" Kurara suddenly thought.

"The three of you are enough. Ah, I'm going to deliver the food boxes." Lorenwei prepared to grab the food boxes and slip away.

"Don't run!" Kurara grabbed him.

"I'm not wearing a bra!" Lorenwei exclaimed.
