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

The landlady, of course, had no idea. The moment the knock sounded, Silph, who was still using her as a lap pillow, darted away from Lorenvie like a startled fawn, as if the two had never met.

Lorenvi's head almost fell onto the tatami mat, but luckily Silph reacted quickly and stuffed the pillow back into her head.

"Ah, the landlady." Lorenwei, an old hand at eating and doing things, didn't even blush, speaking normally to people.

"Are you feeling better, esteemed guest?" The proprietress asked Lorenwei with concern about her condition. After exchanging a few words, she returned to the main topic, asking whether she had reported the completion of the mission at the academy and whether she could advertise and reopen to receive guests.

“…” Lorenwei remained silent for a moment.

Sylph was about to nod when she noticed Lorenve looking at the proprietress with a half-smile.

"Honorable guest, is this suitable for you?" the proprietress asked hesitantly, naturally noticing that Lorenwei's attitude was a bit off.

Lorenwei asked, "Madam, would you prefer me to stay longer or shorter?"

The proprietress answered without hesitation, "Of course, the longer the better. We would be more than happy to have such a distinguished guest as Miss Lorenwei."

“So I think the proprietress is very good at business.” Lorenwei lay down, but smiled meaningfully at the proprietress.

"Uh... Your esteemed guest is truly wise. Please understand the difficulties our shop faces." The proprietress smiled apologetically, as if she had done something wrong.

Lorenwei smiled gently: "Never mind, I'll recover soon anyway. Besides, you've been very hospitable these past two days, and the food has been excellent. Today you report to the Academy Guild to complete your mission and the Hot Spring Village to reopen, and I'll leave tomorrow afternoon."

The landlady quickly stopped her, saying, "Honorable guest, you are still unwell. Please stay a few more days."

"No, no, I don't like things to be too noisy," Lorenwei said, lying with a straight face.

Of course, this is also true to some extent, because she likes to tease others but doesn't like to be teased herself.

Sylph, who was standing nearby, was completely confused by the conversation between the two.

Even if she had amnesia, the blonde Sylph, who was experienced in combat, wouldn't understand.

"Honorable guest, it was my oversight. Please stay a few more days," the landlady urged Lorenwei to continue her stay.

"I'll leave tomorrow afternoon; that's already doing you a favor," Lorenwei still refused.

The proprietress left with regret.

"What's going on? Why can't I understand what you're saying?" As soon as the landlady left, Siruf quickly came up to ask.

"Ugh, this pillow is so uncomfortable, I can't even speak," Lorenwei said, shaking her head and asking for a lap pillow.

"Really..." Sylph blushed, gently moved her onto her lap, and then used her as a lap pillow for Lorenve.

"No pillowcase~!" Lorenwei pressed her luck, demanding even more.

Sylph paused for a moment, then realized that she was wearing a yukata over her thighs.

This guy gets carried away as soon as you give him a friendly look; we can't let him get away with it!

Sylph shook her head firmly and said, "No!"

If you spoil them too much, they'll probably only fall asleep if you hold them.

Actually, Sylph underestimated Lorenve.

Over a decade ago, when Lorenvi was still a child, she went to visit the Elf Forest with her mother and refused to sleep. She never slept while being held by Sylph, and even more surprisingly, she used crying as a weapon, eventually succeeding in falling asleep with her mouth full of tears…

Of course, at this moment, the green-haired Sylph could no longer recall that memory.

“Can I say it now?” Sylph pinched Lorenvi’s cheek.

Lorenwei lay on her lap, her eyes half-closed in bliss: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you. This proprietress knows how to do business, and she's quite good at giving preventative advice."

"Vaccination?"

"She made preparations in advance to prevent us from blaming her later," Lorenwei explained in detail. "She reported the mission completed to the Academy Guild. Do you think she would quietly withdraw from the mission? No, she will definitely make a big fuss and publicize it extensively within the Academy Guild: Lorenwei's team has completed the Hot Spring Village commission!"

"What's this?"

"Ah? You're such a naive elf, Siruf." Lorenwei exclaimed in exaggerated surprise.

Sylph looked down at Lorenvi, who was looking up at her with her legs together, and pressed her finger on Lorenvi's forehead: "Who's like you? You're so young, yet you're such a complicated person."

“That’s called cleverness,” Lorenwei continued, unashamed. “By doing this, everyone knows that the hot spring resort will be hosting us for a few days. Maybe she’ll even mention that Kurara played a crucial role in our group, as well as the green-haired elf Sylph, and the red-haired little sister Melanie…”

"Ah! You mean, a lot of people will flock to the hot spring town?" Silph suddenly realized, and couldn't help but laugh, "They're probably all coming for you, right?"

"Hmph, I'm quite confident in my looks, and you're not far behind. So the proprietress added 'It's reopening,' and we became living advertisements. Think about it, the reward for completing the task is free hospitality: a lovely heroine, a busty princess, an alluring elf, and an innocent and straightforward redhead, in a special place like a hot spring resort..."

Sylph scolded, "What are you saying? Your thoughts are like those of a lecher."

"So I think there will be a lot of people coming here tomorrow. We won't be able to enjoy the hot springs anymore, so let's hurry up and leave."

"But your condition is not better yet."

Lorenwei smiled and said, "With you taking care of me, I recovered quickly. It will definitely be annoying if someone comes tomorrow. But there is one good thing: we can hire a carriage for the return trip, which is both convenient and cheap."

As the two were talking, footsteps came from outside the door again.

Sylph suddenly dodged Lorenve again.

However, this time, before dodging, Sylph prepared a pillow very quickly and placed it under Lorenwei's head instead of her leg, showing that she was quite skilled at this.

After Kula tapped the door frame a few times, she pushed open the sliding door: "Hey, you guys are still chatting? The rice porridge is ready, Lorenvi, how about you have some?"

Her gaze swept across Lorenwei and Sylph, quickly observing their expressions and noticing the slight blush on the latter's cheeks.

Then, she took the porridge from Xiao Mu, who had come with her, told the little girl to close the door and leave, and took it herself.

"Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble." Since the beautiful woman had brought the porridge, she decided to eat it. Lorenwei slowly sat up.

Sylph came over and supported her back with a legitimate reason.

However, when Sylph saw Kurara put down the tray, pick up the porridge bowl and spoon, and prepare to feed Lorenwei the porridge, she frowned slightly.

“Come on, open your mouth.” Kurara smiled and handed the spoon to Lorenwei.

How could Lorenwei refuse rice porridge offered by a beautiful woman? She happily opened her mouth to eat.

Not to mention, as Kurara leaned forward, the hem of her yukata opened slightly, revealing her beautiful silhouette.

Lorenwei recalled the poem "Willows in the Mist - Willows by the Imperial Ditch" by Mao Wenxi, a poet of the Five Dynasties period: "Willows by the imperial ditch, abundant in spring, gracefully extending halfway over the palace walls. Sometimes their reflections dip into light silk, amidst the ripples of dust..."

I can't miss this rice porridge, it's too round and too big...

But shortly after her mouth touched the spoon, Lorenwei felt a pinch on her waist.

"Ouch!" It hurt quite a bit to be pinched like that, and it happened so suddenly that Lorenwei couldn't help but cry out.

The elf's hand immediately loosened its grip on her waist and stopped pinching.

Kurala quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is it too hot?"

“Uh…” Lorenwei’s forehead was covered in black lines.

Gently supporting Lorenvie's back from behind, Sylph helped explain, "Does your stomach hurt? Hmm, is it because your stomach hurts?"

╥﹏╥...Lorenwei replied, "Yes, my stomach hurts..."

She wanted to turn around and look at Sylph, but she didn't dare...

Without even turning around, everyone knows that for a brief moment just now, Silph had triangular eyes, and her face might even be shadowed...

“Your Highness is of such high status, she certainly wouldn’t know how to serve others, so let me do it,” Siruf said gently.

She reached out to take the bowl of porridge.

Kurala didn't seem to think much of it: "It's okay. You're supporting Lorenwei, why are you taking the bowl and spoon? I'll feed her."

Next, Kulala scooped up another spoonful of rice porridge and gently blew on it to her lips.

Sylph's triangular eyes stared at Lorenwei...

Lorenwei stared at Kurara's red lips...

“Here…” Kurara slowly handed over the spoon, blowing on the rice porridge and presenting it to Lorenwei.

Sylph's gaze followed the spoon and shifted to Lorenwei.

Lorenwei instinctively opened her mouth, but before she could even drink, she felt her waist being pinched again, and the pinch was quite forceful.

Kurara noticed that Lorenwei was about to open her mouth, but her expression turned to pain: "What's wrong?"

“It must be a stomachache; he can’t really eat rice porridge,” Silph answered quickly, then turned to Lorenvie and asked, “Right?”

“Yes, my stomach hurts… ╥﹏╥…” Lorenwei clutched her waist.

Kurala looked puzzled: "Your stomach hurts, why are you clutching your back?"

“…” Sylph nudged Lorenvi with her arm.

Lorenwei: "Uh... my stomach is prolapsed..."

"Hehe, Lorenwei, you're joking even when you're sick? Looks like you're recovering quickly." Kurara laughed as she put down the bowl. "By the way, you lost the game earlier and were supposed to scrub my back. I'd like to soak in the hot springs again tonight."

“I’m a person who values promises the most!” Lorenwei’s eyes lit up.

Then, she grinned.

Kurara: "What's wrong?"

“…” Lorenwei naturally dared not complain.

"What's wrong with Lorenve?" Kurara asked Sylph.

"I don't know, ask her." Sylph looked away and nudged her again with her arm: "She's asking you a question! Why are you grinning like that?"

Lorenwei: "My stomach hurts... ╥﹏╥..."

Kurara added, "If you have a stomachache, soaking in a hot spring and applying heat might have a miraculous effect!"

(???) Lorenwei couldn't help but reveal an expectant look in her eyes again.

Then, she had a stomachache again.

Lorenvi lowered her head, not wanting Kurara to notice her grimacing.

Kurara: "What's wrong with you? Why is your head down?"
