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

Lorenwei stretched out one hand: "I'm going to charge a tour fee."

Kurala came over, tucked Lorenwei's arm back under the covers, and scolded, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? People are helping you, and you still dare to ask for money?"

“Okay.” Lorenwei looked aggrieved, as if she had been taken advantage of.

The question of who Bourb added to the team was simply overlooked.

After chatting for a while longer, Burbo said his goodbyes and left.

He had never seen what Aisser looked like during her maturation period, so he naturally didn't notice Lorenve's strange behavior and simply assumed that she had exhausted her mana bar while controlling her magic.

Kurara saw Burbo downstairs, and before leaving, she glared fiercely at Lorenwei.

It's unclear whether he's blaming Lorenwei for disrespecting her mentor, or for treating her mentor as an equal, which makes him feel inferior, or perhaps... warning Lorenwei not to kiss Sylph while he's away.

That's probably why they're staring.

Fortunately, when Kurala rushed back, Lorenwei did not repeat the mistake.

Before going to bed, Kurara invited Sylph to take a bath together.

The two women were frank with each other, but the atmosphere was not as pleasant as before.

During the shower, Kurara casually remarked, "Oh, right, when you first arrived, Lorenve wanted to peep into my bath. She just wanted to confirm if you had a faint mole below your chest... I don't think so. And, cough cough, it's just... whether you know as few people as she does, that's something..."

These words were undoubtedly intended to sow discord, but after hearing them, Sylph seemed to have fallen for their trap, staring wide-eyed for a long time.

Chapter 238 If you don't stop me when I count to ten, I'm going to tell you all the embarrassing stories from the past!

Sylph looked at her chest, and with a little doubt, examined herself. She quickly discovered that there was indeed a faint mole on her chest in the Southern Hemisphere.

Ah, there really is one! Sylph noticed this feature, but wondered why she couldn't see it herself.

That's it! It's all about perspective! Sylph realized. From Lorenve's angle, she could see it, but Sylph couldn't notice it.

Lorenwei is such a keen observer. But when did she see it?

Sylph thought about it seriously.

Gradually, Sylph seemed to be getting the hang of it: Lorenve, you've had memories of your past life since you were little!

I noticed my faint mole when I made a compromise to coax Lorenwei, who refused to sleep.

As for another characteristic, there is a certain aspect that is less known to Lorenwei because Mu Zhe saw everything clearly when the two first met in their previous life!

Thinking back to how Mu Zhe had emerged from the ground and seen her clearly, Xilufu's face immediately turned bright red.

Sylph came to the conclusion that Lorenve most likely has memories of her past life!

Thinking of her embarrassing moments in her past life, and how Lorenve remembered her every whim without reservation, Sylph couldn't help but cover her face.

"What's wrong? What's on your mind?" Kurara noticed her unusual expression.

After a long pause, Sylph finally stammered through her fingers, "N-nothing."

It would be strange if nothing happened. Kurara noticed Sylph's unusual behavior, but being understanding, she knew she shouldn't press her for answers at this time. She stubbornly held back and didn't say anything, simply taking a silent bath.

Sylph also finished her bath absentmindedly.

Just as she was drying herself off and getting dressed, Kurara suddenly reached out her right hand and took the elf's hand: "Sirf, I have a question in my mind. If possible, I hope you can tell me about it."

“What do you want to ask…?” Siruf hesitated.

Seeing her hesitation, Kula knew she couldn't ask directly, so she tried to communicate first: "Now that we're being honest with each other, if you don't mind, I'd like to share my thoughts with you."

“…” Siruf looked at Kurara with a troubled expression.

“As expected, we can’t be completely honest with each other. So let me tell you my true feelings.” Then, Kurara began to recount her first encounter with Loren.

"You know what? When my bra was damaged, that guy actually pulled out a whole stack of bras from his spatial ring! Oh my god! Do you know how devastated I was? For a moment, I even wondered if I had been rescued by a pervert!"

"But later, I gradually discovered that this person was quite interesting. He didn't like handsome looks and used treasures to make himself much more ordinary. I really admired that."

"But he was so cool when he rescued me, my heart was pounding. Ever since that night, I can't stop thinking about Loren..."

As Kula shared her feelings, her face even flushed.

Sylph looked at her and listened silently to what she was saying.

“From then on, Loren was on my mind every day. I thought about him while eating, while sleeping, while waking up, and while studying. I also wrote him many letters, and I would read Loren’s replies a hundred times…” Kulala said, sometimes self-deprecating, sometimes emotional, a mixture of feelings best described as such.

When Kurara started talking, Sylph was very bothered by it.

After all, the Loren she was talking about was the boy she had liked for over a decade.

A strong sour taste filled my heart.

but……

Gradually, Sylph could sense that what Kurara was saying was her own truest feeling.

I'm increasingly feeling that Kula is also a pitiful person.

I seem to see a reflection of myself in Sylph. The forms are different, but we were both tricked by the same person.

Kurara continued, "Later, I found out that Loren and Lorenwei had some issues. Sometimes, things that should only be known to one person would be known to both of them... I even suspected that Lorenwei was Loren's girlfriend, you know? When I thought of that possibility, I felt really bad."

"But then, I suspected that Loren was Lorenwei, since they were similar in many ways. However, this girl actually kept it from me again, using a flower-giving gesture to make me fall completely in love with her. At the time, I did have my doubts, but I just wouldn't think that way. Isn't that what it means to be infatuated with love? I'm so stupid."

Sylph looked at her, her eyes filled with sympathy.

As Kurara finished speaking, she sighed, "I even thought to myself, even if she lied to me, I would accept it..."

Sylph was moved.

"Later, you came too, and you found out everything. She chased me back from the Kingdom of Percy, and now I'm completely at her mercy."

At this moment, Sylph took Kurara's hand and comforted her, saying, "Thank you, Kurara. It's kind of you to share these things with me."

"Hehe, I've never even said these things to my parents, but I never expected to say them to you today. Isn't that ridiculous?" Kurara shook her head, chuckled, her expression a mixture of helplessness and self-mockery.

“No, not at all funny. You haven’t heard a funnier story yet,” Sylph said earnestly.

"Hey?"

“Wait a minute. I need to tell someone before I tell you a story.” Sylph stood up and was about to leave the bathroom.

Kurara quickly reminded her, "Hey! Wait a minute, clothes, you're not dressed yet!"

Sylph exclaimed and quickly wrapped herself in a large bath towel. But she was in a hurry to get out, so she opened the door a crack and saw that only Lorenve was in the bathroom. She then left, still wrapped in the large bath towel.

Kula quickly peeked through the crack in the door.

"Lorenve! Listen up!" Siluf, wrapped in a bath towel, pointed her finger at the patient on the bed as if making a declaration of allegiance as if she were the empress, "You either stop me now, or I'm going to tell you all your embarrassing stories from the past!"

"???" Lorenwei was almost asleep when she was startled by her shout and stared at her with wide eyes, completely bewildered.

Sylph asked with a righteous expression, "If you don't stop me when I count to ten, I'm going to tell Kurara!"

"Huh?" Lorenwei was completely taken aback, her eyes glued to Siluf wrapped in a large bath towel, scrutinizing her from head to toe. Although the towel provided some cover, her figure was still quite revealing.

"Seriously, you! I'm starting to count, one, two... ten!" Silph counted to ten quickly, as if chanting a spell, completely ignoring Lorenwei's reaction, and went back to the bathroom, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

Lorenwei was still completely bewildered.

"S-Sylph?" Kurara was puzzled when she saw her return.

“Come, let me tell you a story.” Siluf loosened her towel, pulled Kurara back into the water, and began to speak, “More than ten years ago, there was a blonde female elf who had never left the Elven Forest. While patrolling the border of the core forest, she relieved herself in the bushes. At that moment, she felt the ground shift slightly in the distance. Before she could react, a boy’s head suddenly popped out of the grass in front of her, with unusually black hair…”

Chapter 239 Lorenwei's secrets exposed by Sylph

Sylph was telling the story: "...So, the blonde elf beat the black-haired boy until he looked like a pig's head, and he didn't fight back. But later we found out that he was actually a hero! A hero who came to the core forest of the elves specifically to find a way to enhance the Holy Sword! He had just mastered the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic in Chinese folklore) and was experimenting with running around in the ground."

"..." Kurara looked at Sylph in surprise, noticing her somewhat shy yet sentimental expression.

Could it be that she wasn't telling a story, but rather... But, the blonde elf... Kurara looked at Sylph's hair color again, confirming that it had indeed not been dyed.

Could the blonde elf be her mother? Kurara wondered. If it involved heroes, the blonde elf was very likely the heroine Sylph…

Ah! Sylph! Kurara's eyes widened.

However, she had seen in the trees that it was common for children among the elves to inherit the names of their ancestors. After the female archer Sylph in the hero's party became a legendary hero, she was unaware that new elves had been born with that name, and some even changed their names. Therefore, Kurara was still somewhat uncertain.

But as Sylph recounted the details, Kurara's gaze towards Sylph changed.

"During the Holy Sword Extraction spell in the Elven Core Forest, an unexpected incident occurred. This black-haired boy actually stood in front of the young elves, helping them withstand the impact, which resulted in his own injury and greatly delayed his cultivation progress. As a result, the female elf's impression of the black-haired boy changed somewhat."

"Later, the blonde female elf, being the most talented young elf, embarked on the journey with the hero's party under the elder's arrangement. Although the two constantly bickered, in some battles, the female elf discovered that this guy... was really too unlikable!" Sylph spoke with resentment, but a smile played on her lips. "The black-haired boy would shamelessly run away, knock out teammates who refused to retreat and take them away, and hold teammates who fell asleep from exhaustion in his arms, protecting them..."

Kurara looked at Sylph...

"Later, the blonde elf, without anyone noticing, had fallen for the dark-haired boy. But that idiot was always staring at big-breasted girls; his eyes practically practically hung on their chests!"

Staring at the busty girl? Which busty girl? Isn't the one on the same team as the blonde elf, Lorenve's mother, Heroine Aisses? Kurara muttered to herself.

Her Highness the Princess also subconsciously glanced at her chest.

It's said that boys like this. However, Lorenwei seems to have a similar problem. Although she's not a boy, even in her Lorenwei state, her gaze keeps wandering to her chest.

Sylph continued, a slight smile playing on her lips: "However, the female elf still noticed. During battles, he would subconsciously glance at her, not paying the same attention to that big-breasted teammate as he did to her. So she figured he had feelings for her too. She was delighted, even laughing out loud in her sleep at night. Later, the female elf mustered up the courage to ask him out on a date, but he rejected her!"

Kurara looked at Sylph.

She could sense that Sylph was describing herself. Considering what she had said to Lorenve earlier, could Sylph really be the heroine Sylph?

Actually, that's not the main point. Could it be that Lorenve is... a hero?

But the age didn't match; she was the child of two heroes. Kurala couldn't figure it out for a moment, nor did she have the mind to think about it further, because the story of the female elf was too captivating for her to listen to any longer.

"With the final battle against the Demon King approaching, this was a moment where life hung by a thread. The female elf thought for a long time, and finally mustered all her courage to make a bet with the hero. If she lost, it would be natural for her to sleep in the same tent as the hero as a way of fulfilling the bet..."

Kurara's eyes widened.

I've read many tales of heroes, but I've never heard of anything like this before. So, the heroine Sylph and the warrior Mu Zhe have grown so close?

Although scholars have long debated whether Mu Zhe had a girlfriend, a wife, or even descendants, there has never been a definitive conclusion. The claim, relayed by Sylph, that Sally was the Sword Saint's daughter, is likely unreliable.

Did the heroine Sylph and the hero Mu Zhe really have a one-night stand? Kurara stared wide-eyed, almost holding her breath, as she listened to this gossip that was enough to shock countless scholars.

But when the narrator, Sylph, got to this crucial point, she laughed: "That fool, he was so close to the elf in the tent that you could hear his breath, and he just stared at her all night without doing anything..."

"..." At this moment, Kurara felt that her previous doubts about Lorenwei possibly being the hero should be completely dispelled.

That guy could never resist! She's definitely not the kind of person who'd be a gentleman! Kurara was absolutely certain.
