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

Mu Zhe was very aggrieved at the time: "I didn't even mention any isolated cases of fathers and daughters bathing together, and you still don't believe me." Even though mixed-gender baths were a minority in that world.

Hot spring culture is not prevalent among the common people in this world, but it is quite popular among aristocratic women. After all, they are a group that values ​​romance and elegance, and many hot springs have skin-beautifying and skin-care effects.

Therefore, Lorenvi's purchases mainly consisted of women's hot spring supplies, such as small towels, large bath towels, hairbands, and body lotion. She also deliberately bought a few bottles of sake and fruit wine, as well as some raw eggs, preparing to enjoy an exotic atmosphere at the hot spring.

Back at the villa, Kula and the other women had already had their beauty sleep.

"I bought quite a lot of things, just in case, and I've put them all in my spatial ring," Lorenwei said.

Kurara asked curiously, "Did you buy a fire scroll? Or a salt pack to deal with slimes?"

"Huh? Towels, skincare products and stuff like that?" Lorenwei was also puzzled; this didn't seem right.

"Hey, we're going to complete a mission!" Kurara slapped her on the shoulder impatiently. "You're not going to ask for a vacation again, are you?"

Lorenwei: "Uh... relaxation and rest after a battle are very important."

Meilan: "Supplying is also very important."

Sylph, standing nearby, was equally annoyed: "You could have just said that eating is important."

This time, the journey was longer, so the four of them rented a horse-drawn carriage, and surprisingly, Meilan knew how to drive it.

“When my grandfather was alive, he would take me to help the lord drive the carriage and do odd jobs in the summer.” Meilan excitedly cracked her whip and drove off in another direction from Stendet City.

Lorenwei felt a mix of emotions as she rode the bumpy carriage.

In my past life, I went to that hot spring with a group of five. Today, I revisited it with three girls, and it brought back a lot of memories.

You might see some familiar scenery, and some people and things you know.

However, Lorenwei had no sense of familiarity with the scenery along the way, after all, she had no sense of direction.

It seems that being directionally challenged is inherited from the soul, not from the body...

Throughout the journey, Sylph clung to the carriage window, her brows slightly furrowed as she gazed at the scenery outside, seemingly trying to recall something.

Lorenwei looked at her, remaining silent.

In just two hours, we arrived at the hot spring town. But just like when we first arrived at the resort hotel, we didn't see many guests. Perhaps it's the slime's influence that's causing business to be slow here.

The hot spring town wasn't large; it was just a suburban hot spring inn that bore the name of a town. Lorenwei already knew this, and when she saw the unique Japanese-style wooden buildings, she was immediately overcome with nostalgia.

The proprietress, dressed in a kimono, quickly came out to greet us, followed by two little girls also dressed in kimonos.

Lorenwei was filled with emotion: Back then she was the eldest sister, and fifteen years have passed; now she looks like a middle-aged businesswoman. This kimono is the one I designed back then.

Farm women, burdened by hard work, age easily and naturally cannot compare to the physical bodies of those like Aisser who possess magical or martial arts skills.

“We’re here from the academy to complete this mission,” Lorenwei immediately handed over the letter of introduction.

The proprietress exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful! I've been looking forward to your arrival. But are you the first batch?"

"Ok?"

"Are there only four of you girls?"

"Don't worry, the four of us can easily handle four hundred slimes." Lorenwei patted her chest confidently, her confidence clearly indicating that she was there to settle things.

"Ah, then, what if it's the Slime King?"

Chapter 122 The dining table in the hot spring village is a battlefield, and the sushi roll tastes like love.

"The Slime King?" Lorenwei chuckled upon hearing this. "Is it that giant slime wearing a crown?"

Meilan, standing nearby, asked, "Hey? What's written here?"

She noticed a stone tablet at the entrance.

Lorenwei knew what was up there, and quietly turned her head away, unable to bear to look.

Meilan stepped forward, relying on her newly acquired knowledge of characters, and attempted to read the inscription aloud. When she encountered unfamiliar characters, she simply read them as "XX": "...The brave warrior Mu Zhe, fond of the hot spring village, entered the women's bathhouse at night. He happened to meet the heroine Sylph inside, and the brave warrior Mu Zhe and she... Just then, the heroine Aisses arrived, and the brave warrior invited her to join him, and together they... Aisses... ... ...

"Hey, hey, hey, don't read that out loud!" Lorenwei was startled.

Lorenwei already knew the inscription was a bit exaggerated, which was understandable—it was just a scandalous affair meant to attract tourists. But Meilan, whose literacy wasn't even complete, insisted on reading it like a smutty story!

"Meilan, don't read it carelessly, or Lorenwei will get angry. This could affect Lorenwei's mother's reputation." Kurara was both amused and exasperated, and quickly read it again: "The hero Mu Zhe, who loved the hot springs, went into the women's bath at night to check the water temperature. He happened to meet the heroine Sylph inside, and Mu Zhe analyzed the water quality with her. Just then, the heroine Aisser arrived and joined the investigation. Aisser misunderstood and beat him severely, so the hero was extremely exhausted. He then recuperated for three days before fully recovering, which became a legendary tale."

That sounds much smoother, as if the hero being beaten up was a misunderstanding. However, anyone can tell there's something fishy going on.

Meilan suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's what it means. The hero is still concerned about the water quality of the hot spring. He was even misunderstood by Lorenwei's mother and beaten up. How pitiful."

Only someone as straightforward as Meizu wouldn't see any problem with that.

"Looks like we need to guard against perverts," Kurara muttered. She understood about 80% of what was going on, but didn't say it outright.

The proprietress reassured her, "Don't worry, we haven't had any customers lately. Besides, there's a magic circle left behind by Lady Aisser, so it's impossible to break in easily."

She then asked about Lorenwei's mother, and was surprised to find that she was the daughter of an old friend, becoming even more warm and respectful.

"With the heroine here to deal with the slimes, our hot spring town will surely prosper again!" The landlady led Lorenwei and the others into the hot spring inn. "The reason why the hero's story on the stone tablet was so magnificent back then is naturally because our place has such a wonderful atmosphere."

"Never mind, as long as the hero's posthumous reputation isn't too outrageous, it doesn't matter." Lorenwei generously forgave this hot spring inn's business strategy.

After all, the proprietress has a big, round bottom, so we have to forgive her. Lorenwei, recalling the spotlight she had received back then, couldn't help but slow her pace.

Lorenwei deliberately slowed down as she walked behind the proprietress, her gaze lingering on the back of her kimono, just as it had in the past.

What a great butt! As Lu Xun once said, "The world has literature, and young girls often have full buttocks." Although the proprietress is past her teenage years, she hasn't lost her former prowess; this is truly a buttock that defies nature.

Human determination can conquer nature! Human determination can conquer nature!

Lorenwei sighed, her heart filled with memories.

I stumbled upon this place and went to such lengths to help the landlady build the hot spring inn, all because I found Katsunohara's buttocks so incredibly pleasing to the eye! Especially the view from behind in her kimono—it was simply amazing! It would have been even better if I could feel what they were like to the touch, but unfortunately, Silph was keeping a close eye on me the whole time, so I didn't have a chance to make a move…

As Lorenwei was lost in thought, the landlady said as they walked, "It's a big, blue, spherical slime that's over three meters tall. It can split into many slimes, and lately it's been bringing its little slimes here to soak in the hot springs!"

Kurara nodded: "That's because of the mission."

Lorenwei asked, puzzled, "Isn't that great? Slimes are cute."

“I personally don’t mind, slimes don’t have genders anyway,” Kurara guessed. “But slimes are monsters after all, so I guess many customers don’t like them.”

The proprietress nodded: "That's true. More importantly, many people say they've never heard of slimes liking hot springs. The sudden gathering of so many slimes here might mean some kind of disaster is about to happen."

"It's just a rumor."

"The simplest way to debunk the rumors is to get rid of the slime," the landlady said, leading the way to a seat in the living room.

The so-called "sitting down" simply means sitting upright one by one on the tatami mats.

Lorenwei and Kurala knew this way of sitting, but Meilan felt uncomfortable and sat cross-legged in a carefree manner.

Sylph tilted her head as if recalling something, and slowly sat down as well.

A boy's voice echoed in her mind: "Hahaha, this is the proper sitting posture. How about it? You elves pride yourselves on being noble and elegant, but you're not used to this kind of posture, are you?"

The female elf's unique, melodious voice said, "Who said that? If you don't believe me, let's have a contest and see who can't take it first."

The inexplicable voice reappeared in Sylph's mind.

"Let's have a contest and see if you can sit for a full hour. We'll bet a gold coin."

……

"An hour has passed. How about that? Don't underestimate us elves."

"Stand up and walk a few steps."

"What's wrong with taking a few steps? Oh dear!"

"Hmph, you win. Here's a gold coin. Jason, saw that? I told you I could fool Sylph into having a crippled leg, right? You lost, give me ten gold coins!"

"Hey! You guys dare to bet on me?!"

"Hahaha! The lame elf can't catch me!"

Sylph took a deep breath and calmed herself down, feeling an inexplicable urge to cry.

Hot spring town, indeed, is a familiar place.

She looked down at the tatami mat beneath her knees and reached out to touch it.

"This is made of straw core, it feels much better than wood, and it has a more charming feel to it," Lorenwei explained to Sylph, who had been watching her closely.

"You know a lot."

"Has no one told you this?" Lorenwei asked, looking at her.

Sylph touched the texture of the tatami mat, feeling slightly dazed: "...It seems like there is, but it also seems like there isn't."

Seeing their interest, the proprietress explained, "We replace our tatami mats every five years, and this is a new batch. With our previous experience, we've gotten better and better at it. The two kids can help out, making things much easier. Thanks to the skills taught to us by the hero, we're able to create these otherworldly items. If it weren't for the slime causing trouble, our business would be thriving."

Lorenwei sighed: "Fifteen years have passed. Even the tatami mats have been replaced three times. Sylph, are you still searching for your past memories?"

She hesitated, unsure whether to help Sylph regain her memories or not. If Sylph regained her memories, her own secret of being reborn might be exposed. But seeing Sylph so lost and confused, she felt a pang of sadness. Yet, if she were to help, how could she?

Two little girls brought over tea in ceramic cups.

"What fragrant tea." Siluf snapped out of her reverie and gracefully sipped the tea from her ceramic cup.

Lorenwei also drinks tea, trying to recapture the aroma and flavor of tea from back then.

Looking at the two lively and adorable children, Kurara casually asked, "What are your names?"

“Amu.”

“Ah Zhe”.

The two children answered.

"That spells out Mu Zhe!" Mei Lan exclaimed. "Wait, could it be a descendant of the hero Mu Zhe?!"

"puff--"

"puff--"

Sylph and Lorenve both sprayed their tea.

The two children quickly tidied up.

"Excuse me! They are the descendants of heroes?" Sylph quickly asked, her heart pounding with anxiety.

"No, no, absolutely not!" Lorenvi shook her head rapidly, hurriedly trying to explain to Sylph.
