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

"You've regained your memories?" Lorenwei felt her voice trembling slightly, so she quickly swallowed to steady herself.

“No,” Silph said with a smile.

Sylph wasn't good at lying, and her candid answer meant she truly hadn't regained her memories, Lorenwei was certain. But her reaction clearly indicated she had figured out some key points!

I shouldn't have teamed up with my former teammate. We fought side-by-side through thick and thin, and we knew each other very well. I knew her size and coat color, and she knew my tastes and fetishes. Even though she had lost most of her memory, she couldn't hide anything from mere clues!

Sylph just smiled and watched Lorenvi panic without saying anything.

Lorenwei felt uncomfortable under her gaze and quickly pointed into the distance: "Ahem, ah! Look, the sun is rising!"

Apart from the onsen fence, the rest of the hot spring town is located in the suburbs with a wide view. The scene of the rising sun in the morning is particularly beautiful, and the golden sunlight is like a warm caress, falling on the yukatas they are wearing.

Lorenvi's light blue yukata was tinted with a faint gold, slightly altering the color. At first glance, it looked like a matching set with Sylph's light green yukata, differing only slightly in the pattern, resembling a legendary couple's outfit.

Sylph moved closer to Lorenvie, getting very close: "I don't know why, but I feel a sense of happiness, like some wish has been fulfilled..."

Lorenvi suddenly remembered that years ago, the blonde Sylph had wanted her to watch the stars with her, and it seemed that she had fulfilled that wish last night...

I once wanted to watch the sunrise with her, and now it seems that I've fulfilled that wish...

Could this be the happiness she felt from fulfilling some kind of wish?

Lorenwei couldn't help but glance at Sylph, who was so close to her and whose breath she could hear.

The dawn's light danced on Sylph, enhancing the elf's beauty even more. If it weren't for the occasional slight trembling and reddening of her long, slender ears, Lorenwei would have truly suspected she was looking at a perfect work of art.

Sylph quickly noticed that Lorenve wasn't looking at the sunrise, but staring at her instead. She hurriedly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear to hide her embarrassment and scolded, "Why are you staring at me like that instead of looking at the sunrise?"

"Uh, you're prettier."

Sylph blushed deeply, her long ears burning. She swayed gently in place, coyly whispering, "You're so annoying..."

Lorenwei felt her heart racing and her face burning.

No, no, I'm an old monk who's read countless books, I can't back down now.

“Um, you said…” Lorenwei quickly tried to find something to ease her embarrassment, but almost brought up the time when Sylph asked her to watch the sunrise with her. She quickly corrected herself, “Ahem, you said last night that you had to remember to give me your used underwear, no cheating!”

Sylph: "..."

"Ahem." Lorenwei knew she had said the wrong thing, but couldn't find another topic to change the subject.

“You're such a mood killer, so incredibly stupid. I'll tell you two things!” Silph shrugged, annoyed, but then looked at Lorenvie very seriously and said, in a measured tone, “First, elves value their promises above all else! Second…”

The next instant, Sylph suddenly opened her arms and hugged Lorenve, in the same way she had hugged her neck in the room last time.

"Huh?" Lorenwei felt Sylph's soft body embrace her tightly, and the fresh scent unique to the elven girl filled her nostrils, making her heart beat even faster.

Sylph held Lorenve tightly, making sure she was in her arms and wouldn't disappear again, before whispering in her ear, "Secondly, thank you, you idiot..."

The two girls embraced in the tranquil and elegant morning light.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, freezing the beautiful scene into a delicate painting...

Chapter 131 Kurara, who was already on guard; and Meilan, who reaped the benefits.

Oh no! Oh no! Sylph has recognized us completely!

Lorenwei was warmly embraced by Sylph, and even the sunlight brought a warm feeling, but she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

If someone discovers the secret of one's rebirth in a novel, it would be considered a major flaw—the exposure of one's cheat-like abilities!

Although this poison had a sweet taste to it, Lorenwei could hardly imagine how Sylph would laugh at her once she fully regained her memories.

After her first birthday, Aisser and Jansen took her to the Elf Core Forest to pay tribute to her teammates. At that time, she took the opportunity to take advantage of Sylph, insisting on sleeping close to the elven girl and sucking on her before she would fall asleep...

Lorenwei recalled how she felt back then. Cough cough, she reviewed the famous line from Guan Hanqing's "A Willow Branch": "The flowers climb red and the stamens are tender..." Thinking of the wonderfulness of this line, she became restless again. At least this way she was no longer cold.

For a long time, Sylph held Lorenve tightly, without letting go.

“Haa—” Melanie’s yawn came from inside the bedroom. “Kurara, what are you looking at?” As if she had been electrocuted, Sylph suddenly released Lorenwei and jumped to a spot two or three steps away from her.

She looked seriously at the trees planted beside the door, but her cheeks, which had just returned to their normal color, turned red again.

Both Sylph and Lorenve now have the same conclusion in mind: from Meilan's words, they can tell that Kurara actually peeked through the crack in the door to see what had just happened!

This was quite awkward; Lorenwei felt that things might get out of hand in the harem.

Lorenwei hurried back inside. Sylph, however, was too embarrassed to even cover her face and run away; she simply stayed outside and didn't go in.

Once inside, Kurala was already folding the blankets.

"Oh dear, I'm not good at folding blankets. I just watched the servants do it. Please don't laugh at me." Kurala laughed as she folded the blanket back and forth.

She acted as if she hadn't seen anything at all.

"Pull it diagonally, fold it into four layers for a nicer look. Then fold it in half again, making it four layers in total." Lorenwei, thick-skinned as ever, began to help fold the blankets as if nothing was wrong.

She used to just throw things away casually in the old house. There was no way she could stand a poorly folded quilt, given her mother's perfectionist upbringing.

The Meilan flasks on the other side were also neatly stacked, which was quite impressive.

"Hey, Lorenwei, you can cook and do housework so well, are you already ready to get married?" Kurara teased.

"Don't be silly," Lorenwei thought to herself. Right, the harem isn't in turmoil yet. I'm still being ruled from behind the curtain; I haven't officially ascended the throne. In Kurara's eyes, her relationship with Sylph was somewhat ambiguous, but it didn't affect Kurara's feelings.

But then, Kurara suddenly whispered, "You two have such a good relationship, it's best if you don't quarrel."

Upon hearing this, Lorenwei felt a little guilty.

If Kurara doesn't say anything, it could mean she doesn't mind at all. But saying it like that just feels...

Lorenwei looked at Kurara in surprise.

Kurara glanced at Meilan as she went to wash up, then whispered, "Lorenwei, I feel like Sylph is Loren's ex-girlfriend, right? So as a close relative, you and Sylph must have known each other for a long time, right?"

"Huh? How could you have such a thought?" Lorenwei felt even more flustered.

There's a saying that for every lie you tell, ten more need to cover it up. And when any part of the lies collapses, it creates an avalanche effect.

Kula observed the changes in Lorenwei's expression and slowly said, "I felt something was off when Lorenwei wanted to peep on me while I was bathing. Also, Sylph clearly had special feelings for Lorenwei, so even though Lorenwei told me there was nothing between them, I couldn't help but think about it."

"Don't worry, Loren is still very... serious about love!"

Kurara narrowed her eyes: "Your evaluation of him isn't very consistent..."

Lorenwei sneered. Women are truly perceptive creatures; they can detect even the slightest problem in a word.

“You know, Loren and I were exposed to Sylph when we were kids because of our parents,” Lorenwei suddenly thought of a way to get out of the predicament and quickly explained, “The legendary hero Sylph has blonde hair and isn’t that big…”

Lorenwei gestured in front of her chest.

Kurala nodded to indicate that she understood.

"Think about it, the current green-haired Silph is the same person as the one who was pickled in the altar, oops, I mean, an elf. How could Loren not find it strange? The person we call Auntie suddenly appears in front of us, but with different hair color and a different figure. She's bound to act a little weird, right?"

"..." Kurara tilted her head and thought for a moment, then remained noncommittal.

Lorenwei added, "Don't simply assume that Sylph is Loren's ex-girlfriend. And even if she were, who does Loren like now?"

"Then why did he sneak up to the second floor to spy on Sylph after she went into her room? Otherwise, how could I have turned against him back then..." Although Kurara had already turned the page on this matter after Loren's cool flower-presenting ceremony, it is a woman's forte to settle old scores.

"Peeping? He would do something like that? Hahaha, you weren't there too, were you?" Lorenwei asked knowingly.

“…Of course.” Kurara pouted.

"Why don't you ever think that maybe he came to see you? The beautiful princess of the Grand Duchy, and he's just a young man, full of ideas at such a young age. It's understandable that he might glance at a beautiful woman a few more times, even though it's not right, right?" Lorenwei looked like a famous detective, deliberately scanning Kurara with her eyes, and said in a strange tone, "Even I want to take a look more. Don't you think you're very attractive?"

Kurala slapped her hand, feeling relieved: "Okay, you're right."

At this moment, Meilan came out of the washroom.

Lorenwei thought to herself, "You've finally come out! You're such a lifesaver!"

Kurara naturally didn't ask any further questions. In fact, she already had her own plans and wouldn't press the matter.

The three and a half women reunited and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.

"Phew! Breakfast time~!" Meilan summoned the Slime King again and started feeding it vegetables.

The Slime King is a herbivore, which is probably a major reason why it's rather timid. Some slimes described in the books are carnivorous and therefore stronger, while others are fibrous and therefore more resilient…

Lorenwei preferred the latter, which was an essential slime-type talent in the book. Looking at the chubby slime king, who was jumping around amused by Meilan's feeding, she couldn't help but consider how to change it to eat clothing fibers.

If any more beauties come along, just have Meilan summon Puyo to eat their clothes and subdue them without a fight...

As she ate, Silph's lips curled into a smile, as if she had some joyous occasion.

Meilan didn't notice, but Kurala did.

“Your pet is very happy,” Kurara said to Lorenwei after the meal.

"Haha, it's best if we have a good relationship." Lorenwei changed the subject. "By the way, what are we playing today?"

"Aren't you going back?" Kurara asked in surprise.

"You haven't even soaked in the hot springs yet! Coming to a hot spring town and not soaking in the hot springs? What kind of person does that?" Lorenwei hadn't yet realized her grand ambition of soaking in the hot springs.

Kurala touched her forehead: "I took a bath last night, and I'm still a little dizzy."

Lorenvi sighed inwardly: I missed the beautiful hot springs in Kurara because I was killing rabbits; I really did commit a grave crime...

"Hot spring! Hot spring! Hot spring!" Melanie, who was eating the slowest because she was feeding the Slime King, shouted excitedly after hearing Lorenwei's words.

Sylph glanced at Lorenve but said nothing.

Kula, acting like an older sister, made the following request: "Even at the resort, we can't let our guard down. What if something unexpected happens next time we encounter the enemy? We must always strive to improve ourselves."

“There are no other guests at the hot spring resort right now, so we practically have the whole place to ourselves!” Lorenwei reminded her. “Next time we come, it probably won’t be like this. You don’t like being stared at when you’re relaxing, do you?”

“This…” Kurara hesitated for a moment, then conceded, “Okay, but at least we’ll exercise for the morning first, and then start playing in the afternoon.”

Lorenwei tried to continue slacking off, but Kurara was adamant. Surprisingly, Sylph agreed with Kurara's opinion, and Melanie thought about it and agreed as well.

A lazy aunt can't beat a top student and two opportunists.

In the end, everyone practiced quite a bit in the backyard.

Lorenwei taught Melanie a lot about the principles of magic and even began preliminary experiments with casting magic.

To her surprise, the little girl from the countryside did indeed possess exceptional magical talent. Although the skills she had previously displayed seemed somewhat unorthodox and rudimentary, she learned them remarkably quickly with a little guidance.

Lorenwei felt that her talent might not be stronger than Meilan's. Indeed, there are many hidden talents in the world, and Meilan was a low-key but promising academic genius.

Kurara and Sylph have been sparring, and both have made considerable progress. Sylph has even leveled up two minor ranks in a row, and is about to reach Hawkeye's level.
