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

Lorenwei continued, "But I didn't mention you, the green-haired one, who came from the altar core. Now their reply has arrived."

Sylph was a little nervous.

"Take a look at this letter first?" Lorenwei handed the letter to Sylph.

“…” Siruf took the letter.

It was a light green, coarse paper envelope, the paper's texture rough, almost like it was made directly from tree bark. A green leaf was affixed to it. There was no writing on the envelope; the signature was simply two small, dark green arrow feathers edged with gold.

This wasn't the first time Lorenwei had seen this type of letter; she was quite familiar with it.

Because during my childhood, when I lived in seclusion with my adoptive parents, my family received many letters like these. Many of them were even sent by Sylph to her teammates.

The two intertwined arrows represent a higher form sent from the Tree of Life: the Ancient Tree.

The Tree of Life, the Ancient Tree, and the Eternal Tree are the three advanced forms of the Elven race's life essence. Currently, the Tree of Life at the core of the Elven Forest is in the second stage of evolution, the Ancient Tree state.

“Yes, it’s a letter from my hometown…” Sylph gently stroked the envelope, feeling the familiar sensation from the two arrow fletchings.

A sense of racial affinity, welling up from the bottom of my heart, resonated within me.

The elves are pretty silly; they actually list out their own race's evolutionary level, as if they're afraid others won't know. Lorenwei thinks the elf design is really simple and adorably naive.

Even if I evolved to my second form, I would still only have one arrow imprinted on my body. That way, even if an enemy attacked, we could still mislead them about our strength, which is much more advantageous than revealing our true power.

Sylph stared for a long time without moving.

"Quickly open it and see what the reply is!" Lorenwei urged.

But Sylph bit her lip lightly and after a long while said, "I...I dare not open it."

"Haha, actually we already know the answer, so there's no need to rush. Don't worry, I can guarantee it." Lorenwei comforted her, putting her arm around Sylph's shoulder. This time, she had no intention of taking advantage of her, but simply said softly, "If you don't want to open it, that's fine too. Just put it in your spatial ring for now. When you're mentally prepared, or when you suddenly feel like it, you can open it and take a look."

"But don't you want to be sure that I am indeed the legendary hero—the blonde Sylph?"

“Well, how should I put it?” Lorenwei tilted her head and thought for a moment, but her mouth was already running fast. “Whether you are that blonde female elf hero or not, it doesn’t affect my liking for green-haired Sylph, so it doesn’t matter whether I read this letter or not.”

“…” Sylph looked at Lorenvi for a long time, then smiled. “Thank you, Lorenvi.”

Lorenwei smiled and said, "Why are we being so polite?"

Sylph gently pulled away from Lorenwei's arm around her shoulder and slowly walked onto the balcony: "Yes, why should I hesitate? This result won't affect us at all."

Lorenwei watched Sylph's retreating figure. With a flick of her slender hand, whether due to racial talent or some other control ability, the letter drifted away like a kite with a broken string.

As the letter floated away, it slowly decomposed, turning into many pale green vines and leaves, and then into green particles that drifted down. But they did not disappear; instead, they seemed to transform into mischievous sprites, shimmering with light and surrounding Sylph, dazzling even in the sunlight.

These are the branches and leaves of the Tree of Life, transformed into fragments of natural elements dancing in the air.

The wind stirred Silph's long green hair, making it sway gently, like the softest manifestation of nature.

Sylph turned around gracefully and smiled at Lorenwei, "Let's just pretend we've already seen it. I think the answer to the letter is... I'm not the heroine Sylph!"

Lorenwei was somewhat stunned.

Soon, Lorenwei understood and laughed, "Yes, you're not."

Lorenwei stepped forward, took her hand, and whispered, "Sylph is Sylph, my Sylph, the anxious Sylph who cries when she worries I'm out of sight, the shy Sylph who gives me a lap pillow when I'm sick, the gentle Sylph who hums me a tune when I have trouble sleeping, the tsundere Sylph who dances for me under the moonlight under the pretext of using her Master's Decree, the assassin Sylph whose cooking could kill..."

"Ugh! Who are you calling an assassin!" Siruf scolded, trying to shake her off.

“But I like Sylph just the way she is, not the heroine Sylph.” Lorenwei held onto her little hand tightly, even pulling Sylph close to her.

Sylph staggered, barely managing to regain her balance, when the two were so close they could hear each other's breaths, both feeling the other's sudden, rapid breathing...

In Lorenwei's eyes, the elven Sylph's eyes sparkled, a blush rose to her fair face, and her cherry-red lips trembled slightly...

Oh, and I'm having a lucky day with love today!

Lorenwei suddenly remembered a quote from Bourb.

Perhaps, I can finally accomplish that thing that's always been blocked!

At this moment, Lorenwei didn't care about her worries about the kiss that would define their relationship two years later. She grabbed Sylph's right hand with her left hand and suddenly wrapped her right arm around her waist.

In slow motion, their lips, as if traversing thousands of miles, finally met...

After a moment of panic, Sylph slowly closed her eyes...

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The letter, transformed into fragments of natural elements, danced merrily around the two of them, like twinkling starlight.

In the afternoon sunlight, the two embraced and kissed, fulfilling a debt owed for more than a decade.

I am Silph...

Even if it means spending her entire life in slumber, Sylph will meet him again. And then, she will surely tell him…

boom--

A massive elemental energy reaction erupted at that moment, and a huge green pillar of light rose from the ground, illuminating the sky and vying with the sunlight, startling countless people in the academy.

But this had no effect on the two people inside the pillar of light.

The pillar of light disappeared long afterward before the two finally parted their lips.

Sylph slowly opened her eyes, but remained dazed for a long time before her eyes regained their focus and her gaze became clear again. After looking at Lorenwei for a while, tears welled up in her eyes and fell...

Then, the elf's small fist struck Lorenvi's chest, and a choked sob reached her ears...

"You're an idiot!"

Chapter 235 You owe me tenfold!

Lorenvi subconsciously wiped the few drops of water from her lips, looking at Sylph who was patting her chest with her head down: "Sorry, it was my first kiss, I'm not very skilled yet. Let's kiss a few more times and practice. But even if my technique isn't great, it shouldn't make you cry, right..."

"Honestly, what are you saying? You're still the same idiot you were back then." Siluf's face flushed as she looked up at Lorenwei, then pinched her cheek hard. "That thick-skinned idiot from back then has become so delicate and smooth-skinned. I didn't expect you to have such good conditions after your reincarnation..."

The female elf spoke these words while shedding tears and smiling.

"Huh?" Lorenwei finally noticed the unusual tone in Sylph's voice, and looked around again. "Strange, why do I feel such strong magical element fluctuations? Could kissing cause magical element anomalies? Oh dear, my talent is just too high, even a kiss..."

Sylph remarked with a touch of melancholy, "You still can't shake your habit of being a chatterbox..."

Lorenwei glanced at Sylph again: "Or perhaps you were too impulsive when I kissed you, your heart surging with the sound of a vast, magnificent sea..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Siruf grabbed Lorenwei's ear.

At this moment, Burbo, Kurala, and Meilan arrived at the balcony of the small villa.

The pillar of light had long since disappeared, but anyone sensitive to magical elements could sense that this was the core of the massive magical eruption that had just occurred.

"Lorenve!" Kurara shouted worriedly from afar, but when she got closer, she found the person she cared about embracing a girl and whispering sweet nothings, and even having his ear pinched by the girl at the end...

That's really hurtful!

Kurara nearly choked on her breath. Carrying the knight's shield and sword and running so fast was already exhausting. Now she felt completely drained and almost dropped the shield.

My crystals at home have all been stolen and are almost dead!

Thankfully, by the time Kurara and the others arrived, the two had already stopped the crucial step of their verbal exchange. Otherwise, Kurara would have collapsed to the ground.

"Nothing's wrong." Melan didn't take Sylph's sneaky eating seriously at all. She looked up at Lorenvie and Sylph on the balcony, and it seemed that there was no explosion or magic going out of control.

Bourb shook his head, muttering to himself about the young people's affairs, saying he couldn't stand it.

He turned and left.

If things get out of hand and a fight breaks out, I hope I don't get caught in the crossfire.

Only then did Sylph realize that someone had come downstairs. She quickly let go of Lorenvi's ear and jumped back into her room like a deer.

Kurara didn't bother to put away her knight's shield and sword, and went upstairs in her full armor.

As Kurara went upstairs, Sylph quickly ran back to Lorenvie's side and whispered, "Don't tell anyone I've regained my memories!"

Then... she jumped off the balcony!

Of course, you won't get hurt or anything.

Sylph has regained her memories, and her body's memory is no longer sluggish. She simply bends her leg as a conditioned reflex, then does a slight protective roll, and gets up and returns to normal.

If my body were stronger back then, I could have just toughed it out without needing any buffer. Now that my body is weaker, I can only make do for a while.

Under normal circumstances, based on her previous professional experience, Siluf wouldn't need to roll on the ground to ensure her safety. However, the wet kiss just now had made her legs a little weak, and jumping down hastily was really too much for her.

"The way you jumped down looks a bit like the way people in our village almost got caught in adultery..." Melan remarked, watching Siruf's entire routine.

Sylph blushed instantly, made an apologetic gesture with her hands clasped together to Melanie, and then quickly rushed into the distant woods.

Back in the forest, the female elf felt most at ease. She wanted some peace and quiet to organize her thoughts.

Countless memories suddenly flooded her mind, and she felt her thoughts were in turmoil.

It's fortunate that Silph was at her peak back then, otherwise her mind probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the impact of the secret technique breaking the seal, and she would have been unconscious for three days and three nights.

"Don't tell anyone I've regained my memories!"

The moment Sylph uttered those words to Lorenve, the latter froze in shock.

Has Sylph regained her memories?

My God! It really was the blonde Sylph! Just as I suspected, her memories were sealed, but they were just released!

So, her secret technique was to find my reincarnation by sealing her memories at the cost of her professional skills?!

Lorenwei was quick-witted and soon figured out the key point.

Considering Silph's jumping motion, it's clear that her professional skills haven't fully recovered, but her memory recovery should be fine.

A kiss can break the seal? Then why were we inexplicably hindered from kissing the previous times? Were they all due to the mysterious interference of a secret technique? Lorenwei understood that the effectiveness of a secret technique would have a mysterious influence on luck.

Within the effective period of a secret technique, there is a certain inertia. To break the technique, multiple attempts are necessary. However, just now, perhaps due to my so-called "lucky streak in love," I actually broke the influence of the technique and luck.

Just then, Lorenvi saw Kurara arrive with a gloomy face: "Lorenvi, where is Sylph?"

"Oh, she just jumped down."

"Oh, I see. I wonder if she jumped because she felt guilty." Kurara glanced out onto the balcony and saw Sylph.

Lorenwei scratched the back of her head: "Haha, what are you talking about? There's nothing wrong with me."

Kurara's voice was very calm, as if she were asking something unimportant: "If she's not guilty, why did she run away? Did something shameful happen just now?"

"There's nothing shameful about it. We're not even in bed."
