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

Kurara was also deeply moved. After temporarily putting down her knight's shield, she exclaimed, "That's great! It's rare to find someone who is serious about fighting me. Usually, my opponents in the palace are unwilling to go all out. Moreover, the elves are indeed a genius race skilled in archery. Their attack methods are far superior to those of the archers in my hometown."

Sylph nodded in acknowledgment, but said nothing more.

Seeing that Sylph remained silent, Lorenwei asked curiously, "What's your opinion of Kurara?"

"Do you really want me to give my opinion?" Siruf looked at Kurara.

Kulala nodded vigorously.

Sylph thought for a moment, then said seriously, "...Turtle."

"Hahaha!" Lorenwei and Meilan both laughed.

Kurara smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Lorenwei said, "Actually, even when a turtle retracts its head, there are still quite a few holes; it should be called a clam. Siruf, you are a fairy snipe."

Sylph was puzzled: "The clam is easy to understand; the knight's shield is like a seashell. But what does 'stinger' mean?"

Lorenwei told the story of the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman benefiting.

"Haha, that's very interesting." Meilan laughed, clearly enjoying the story. "If you are the snipe and the clam, then I am the fisherman. While you are attacking each other, I can take you both down in one fell swoop."

Meilan made a carefree joke, but Kurara and Sylph both looked at Meilan seriously.

"Meilan, have you been missing Loren these past few days?" Kurara suddenly asked.

"Huh? I'd forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it." Meilan clapped her hands.

Both Kurara and Sylph felt a sense of relief.

"I should tell the landlady to bring me some food back so Loren can try it. Especially that thing for couples, what was it again?"

Loren Wei: "Sushi."

"Yes, I'll take it back for Loren to try."

Kurara: "..."

Sylph: "..."

Lorenwei covered her face: It's turned into a chaotic scene again.

She quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Time flies! We've been practicing all morning. What are we having for lunch? If you're tired of eating Japanese food after two meals, I'll cook."

Meilan's attention was immediately drawn: "Is it okay to eat rabbit?"

“I said I would punish you,” Lorenwei laughed. “But since you did well in your writing, I’ll let you off the hook. Have you ever heard of Old Beijing Chicken Rolls? Chicken is probably hard to find right now, so I’ll make you Old Beijing Rabbit Rolls.”

The three women were curious, so Lorenwei quickly went to the landlady and told her she would cook for them.

Since it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and I didn't have time to proof the dough, I used scalded dough instead. I substituted rabbit meat for chicken, lightly marinating it with salt and spices. As for scallions, the soul of this wrap, I did have them, since Japanese cuisine also uses them. I didn't have any sweet bean sauce, so I used condensed milk instead.

At noon, Lorenwei had already started serving the dishes.

Kurara: "Is it pizza? I've had it before."

Silph: "Paper cake?"

Meilan: "Are these scallions for Puyo?"

"Watch me roll them up for you." Lorenwei rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair wrists, and began to roll up the Old Beijing rabbit meat rolls.

The three women looked on curiously.

"Alright! This is what I'm treating you to!" Lorenwei rolled it up and held it up as if it were a sacred object.

Meilan: "What is this stick-shaped object?"

Lorenwei: "..."

That's a really harsh way to put it. I didn't lift it up; it wasn't that I actually lifted it, and besides, there's nothing to lift right now...

"Hey, who wants to try some?" Lorenwei asked the three women with a smile, holding up a stick-shaped object—oops, rabbit meat rolls.

She looked at Kurara first.

"Are you sure this stuff is edible?" Kurala was a little worried. The noodles were scalded with boiling water and rolled up with a bunch of random things. She had never eaten this before.

Meilan asked in confusion, "This thing is so thick and long, how am I supposed to bite into it?"

Lorenvi suddenly felt like laughing and teased, "Bite!"

Sylph took a breath: "I'll do it!"

She was to Lorenwei's left, leaning forward and opening her mouth to reach for the rabbit meat roll.

However, the problem is...

She had her eyes closed, as if she had made a huge decision, and opened her mouth reluctantly as if she was about to do something...

"I...I'll do it..." Kurara, sitting on the right, spoke too late and felt a little regretful. For some reason, she suddenly became anxious.

Just as Sylph was about to bite into the rabbit roll, Kurara, in a moment of princess-like temper, also rushed to eat it.

Thud—Kurara and Sylph's heads collided, and neither of them got to eat.

"Aww!" Seeing them fighting over it, Meilan, who was sitting across the table, couldn't help but feel competitive and took the first big bite.

She chewed contentedly, not knowing whether it was because the stolen food was delicious or it was really that tasty, but it just tasted incredibly good.

After swallowing with a gulp, Melan laughed at Kurara and Sylph, who were rubbing their foreheads and groaning in pain, "Hahaha, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!"

"It's time for beauty sleep!" Kurala issued an irresistible call after the meal.

Lorenwei was unhappy; how could someone as meddlesome as her like to take a nap? Sylph, however, looked at Kulala's fair skin and agreed, while Melanie looked at Kulala's high breasts and also agreed.

"Don't be fooled by your current beauty. If you don't take care of yourself, you might regret it later." Seeing Lorenwei's displeasure, Kurala immediately began to threaten, "You two came back so late last night, why don't you catch up on your sleep? Are you waiting to become a haggard old woman? You'll never be able to get married then!"

"So what if he can't get married? What can you do?" Lorenwei said nonchalantly. Men don't rely on their looks; they rely on their strength, their virility! Wait a couple of years…

"Lie down." Kurara didn't stand on ceremony and directly pressed Lorenwei down onto the tatami mat, covering her head with the quilt.

Lorenwei poked her head out from under the covers, swaying it left and right, even her ahoge (cowlick) bobbing back and forth, like a naughty child in kindergarten who couldn't stay still: "Do you want to hear a story?"

“We should listen!” Meilan was the first to agree.

Kurala sighed: "Go on, tell us, and then go take a nap."

Lorenwei began her story: "Many years ago, there was an emperor who spent a great deal of money to dress beautifully, and his ministers searched the world for the finest fabrics to please him. One day, two swindlers came to the palace, claiming they could make the most beautiful clothes in the world..."

She was telling the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes." When she got to the part where the emperor was wearing nothing, and everyone was afraid of being seen as a fool, they all said that the emperor's new clothes were really beautiful, Kurara and Sylph covered their mouths and chuckled.

Meilan, however, bluntly exclaimed, "Hahaha, the emperor is clearly not wearing anything!"

Lorenwei nodded: "That's right. At this moment, a little child bravely said: Hahaha, the emperor is clearly not wearing anything!"

Kurara and Sylph laughed even louder, which was quite fitting, as Melan sometimes acted as innocently as a child.

“Those officials and commoners are too stupid. They were actually deceived by the swindler’s lies.” Meilan didn’t care at all.

Sylph asked, puzzled, "Does everyone just pretend to be stupid in such a tacit way?"

As an elf, she didn't quite understand the herd mentality in human society.

Lorenwei smiled and said, "However, there's another explanation to this story that perfectly clarifies the issue. Can you guess?"

Kula lay on her side under the covers, reached out and slapped Lorenwei, and laughed, "Stop keeping me in suspense, you definitely don't know, tell me quickly."

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, actually the emperor…” Lorenvi looked at Kurarain lying on her side, revealing a large expanse of white skin through her yukata, and slowly revealed the key element of the twist in the Emperor’s New Clothes story: “The emperor is a woman! She is the empress!”

Kurara was stunned: "Huh?"

Sylph covered her mouth with her fingers in surprise.

Meilan blinked her big eyes.

"Hahahaha!"

The three women quickly realized what was happening and burst into laughter.

Lorenwei was very pleased with their reaction; an old story with a new twist was indeed interesting!

"You rascal, you definitely added that last sentence!" Kurala tapped Lorenwei a few times, both amused and annoyed.

“They really dare to do that…” Sylph’s face turned red with laughter.

“Her Majesty the Empress is so foolish!” Meilan’s understanding was very straightforward.

After laughing and joking for a while, under Kula's strict insistence, everyone obediently went to sleep.

"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to interfere with me. Your authority only applies to the inner palace, not to me," Lorenwei thought with a slight complaint.

But despite all the complaining, she falls asleep faster than anyone else.

In a hazy dream, Aisser reappeared, this time helping Lorenwei choose panties.

"Vivi, what kind of material do you prefer? Fiber? Ice silk? Or pure cotton?" Aisser asked, pulling Lorenvi along as they browsed various intimate apparel in the lingerie store. "And what style do you like? Triangles? Seamless? Lace? Ultra-thin? Hollowed-out? Or even... thongs?"

Lorenwei was absolutely furious looking at the panties in front of her, which only had two lines, one thick and one thin...

At that moment, I felt someone pushing me.

Hey?

Lorenwei gradually woke up.

Thankfully, it was still a dream. Lorenwei slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself before a green-haired elven girl named Sylph.

"Shh—" Sylph gestured for Lorenwei to be quiet.

What? Lorenwei looked at Sylph, who hadn't taken a proper nap and was sitting sideways next to her blanket.

Sylph pointed to the sliding door, indicating that they should go outside to talk.

The two quietly left the bedroom.

"Want to go to the hot springs?" Siruf asked, her face flushed.

“Go! Go now, immediately.” Lorenwei agreed quickly.

If a beautiful woman invites you to a hot spring, only a fool wouldn't go.

On the way, we ran into the landlady's child, A-Zhe, who helped us turn on the hot water for the hot spring bath.
