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

Arrows were shot at the target.

Every arrow hits its target!

Every single arrow hit the bullseye perfectly within the red circle...

In the evening, when Lorenvi was tidying up the archery target, she was surprised to find that there were many arrow marks in the center of the target. She exclaimed with delight, "Siruff, you've regained your feel for archery?"

"Humph."

"Hey, I'm asking you, how did you find it?"

"Knee pillow."

“???…” Lorenwei: “!!!?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?”

Chapter 246 A Love Across Time – Lunlun and Zhezhe

That night, Lorenwei was subjected to inhumane treatment while she was sleeping.

"What are you doing?! No, no!" Lorenwei struggled and screamed.

She sat helplessly on the small bed, gazing at the large bed that was only a few steps away, yet seemed to be separated by thousands of miles.

"No, that's final. Don't even think about moving around in the middle of the night." Kurala was adamant.

"That's right, that's right. If you dare come to our bed again, you'll get your feet pricked!" Sylph said forcefully, holding up something.

On the large bed were Kurara and Sylph, along with Melanie, who watched them fussing around with a cold eye.

The female elf was holding a large box of thumbtacks.

Amidst Lorenwei's screams, she scattered the thumbtacks all over the floor.

"Hahaha, now you can't sneak over and raid us at night, can you?" Sylph threw away the box of thumbtacks, put her hands on her hips and laughed: "Scream in despair, go mad with helplessness, it's all beyond redemption!"

"A female demon! A female demon more terrifying than the Demon King!" Lorenwei screamed, clutching her head.

At that moment, she seemed to see the blonde elf who had once dominated the hero's party more than a decade ago. She had done something similar back then.

Kurara also comforted Lorenwei: "Bear with it, it will be at most two years, otherwise your condition might go wrong. In addition, this is just in case, to prevent your old illness from recurring."

Lorenwei burst into tears: "You guys are the ones who are sick! To guard against my night raid, you actually resorted to scattering thumbtacks all over the floor. That's too much!"

Sylph, hands on her hips, proudly proclaimed, "Sylph, the female elf, hereby declares that this is the capital city and headquarters of the Elven Kingdom. Lorenwei, you lecherous vixen, don't even think about sneaking into the holy land under the cover of darkness!"

Lorenwei retorted angrily, "You shouldn't be an archer. You should act in a play or something, and I can support you. Or you could write a script and become a writer, and I can give you a reward."

“Even if you climb into our bed in the middle of the night, we can’t make you do anything, so why force it?” Kurara advised, but as she spoke, she hesitated, pinching her lips and thinking carefully, “I feel like something’s not right…”

Sylph remained smug: "What's wrong with that? That's how you deal with a lecher like that!"

"Hurry up and turn off the lights. It's time for good kids to go to bed." Meilan yawned, burrowed into the covers, and left with a sobering remark: "Let's make a deal first, who's going to clean the floor tomorrow morning?"

“…” Siruf froze.

Kurara covered her face. "I knew something was wrong; I'd forgotten that..."

“Then the cleaning tomorrow morning will be left to the pervert!” Silph pointed at Lorenwei.

Lorenvi cried out in anger, "This is outrageous! The one with the lowest IQ should be cleaning!"

Sylph retorted angrily, "You dare say I have the lowest IQ?!"

"I didn't say you claimed it yourself!"

"Look at me! You're spreading rumors!"

"You self-aware little elf~"

"If you're so smart, why didn't you remind me sooner?"

"Did I even need to remind you? Besides, I didn't even have a chance to say anything before you released it!"

"Why is this guy, who's usually so talkative and the fastest, not working tonight?"

"My tongue is still very nimble, try me if you don't believe me..."

The two were having a lively conversation when Meilan, who had already lain down, couldn't take it anymore. She jumped up from the bed and yelled, "Aren't you going to sleep or not?! We'll get ready tomorrow morning! It's so late now, a child who doesn't sleep properly isn't a good child!"

The room fell silent instantly.

Meilan's incredibly righteous words stunned everyone.

Sylph: "..."

Wait a minute, I, this female elf, seem to be quite old.

Lorenwei: "..."

I've lived two lives. In my previous life, I was old enough to be a magician.

"..." Kurara, on the other hand, didn't object at all. She lay down quietly in the middle of the bed, assuming the most standard princess sleeping position.

Sylph, who was by the bed, quickly pressed the button on the bedside table and finally turned off the light so she could go to sleep.

"Seriously, it feels like I'm back to when we were teaming up to fight the Demon King again," Silph muttered to herself as she lay in bed.

……

At midnight.

Three and a half women were fast asleep.

Sylph staggered to her feet, put on her shoes, and went to the bathroom with her eyes half-closed...

Ah!

After taking a few steps, Sylph suddenly came to her senses.

I threw away that whole box before bed. There were so many thumbtacks under my feet, they could prick my toes... Hey? Doesn't it hurt?

Sylph looked down and, despite the dim light, could still see that there was nothing on the most luxuriously decorated floor.

"Huh? What happened?" Sylph bent down and touched the floor, surprised to find that the thumbtacks that had been scattered all over the floor were gone!

In an instant, the female elf's hair stood on end.

How can it be?

Is it haunted?

Sylph pinched her cheek; it hurt a little, so she wasn't dreaming.

She crouched down nervously, moving swiftly and stealthily to the side of Lorenwei's bed with the practiced posture of an archer.

"Hey, wake up! Something's up!" Sylph whispered in Lorenwei's ear.

The deeply ingrained tradition of teamwork caused Lorenvi to suddenly open her eyes. After recognizing the nervous Sylph, she carefully maintained her sleeping posture and asked in a low voice, "What? Has an enemy infiltrated the defensive formation?"

This was a subconscious question. Defensive formations are a common early warning measure used by the brave squad, for nighttime vigilance.

“The thumbtacks are all gone!” Siruf’s expression was grave under the moonlight.

“…I thought it was something else.” Lorenwei closed her eyes again.

Sylph quickly poked Lorenvi's cheek with her finger again: "Has the experience of reincarnation numbed you? Why don't you take it seriously? Who could quietly take away all the thumbtacks? There wasn't even a sound of cleaning?"

Still sleepy, Lorenwei whispered, clearly unwilling to exert herself, "I've collected them all for you."

"Collected them? How did you collect them? What kind of magic can collect so many thumbtacks? How powerful must that wind magic be?" Sylph couldn't believe that she hadn't been awakened by the commotion caused by the wind magic.

However, it would be too much of a stretch for wind magic to neatly collect so many scattered thumbtacks. They're not fallen leaves; how could those thumbtacks possibly obey orders?

Lorenwei, with her eyes closed, muttered, "Idiot! Who told you to use wind magic? I just took a few strong magnets, controlled them with earth magic, ran them around on the ground a few times, and they all attracted to the magnets. It was barely a commotion. Those magnets attracted a lot of thumbtacks, and they're sleeping under the sofa."

“…” Sylph blinked, speechless.

Looking under the sofa, there was a faint reflection of thumbtacks, confirming that this was indeed the case.

"Why do you have to clean in the dark instead of in the morning? Are you trying to scare people to death?" Sylph refused to admit defeat and blamed Lorenvie.

Lorenwei muttered half-asleep, "Don't you have a habit of urinating in the middle of the night? You're so reckless, you definitely won't remember that you scattered thumbtacks. By the time you remember, you'll probably have pricked your foot."

“…” Sylph looked at Lorenve and remained silent for a moment.

Having lived together in the adventure team for so long, had Mu Zhe become so familiar with his nighttime waking routine?

"This guy, really, of all things to remember, he has to remember people's nighttime habits." Sylph couldn't help but poke Lorenvie's forehead with her finger.

Lorenwei pouted, didn't open her eyes at all, and continued to sleep, ignoring her.

Sylph noticed the blue ahoge (cowlick) on her forehead and kept fiddling with it with her fingers.

That tuft of blue hair swayed back and forth, and Siruf teased it with her finger.

Sylph looked at Lorenve up close, smiling, until Lorenve began to breathe evenly. Then she leaned down to kiss her cheek, but she held back and whispered something in her ear.

"You've got a kind heart, you idiot."

……

The next day, Lorenwei was very pleased at the dinner table. Seeing that Sylph and Kurara had returned to their previous harmonious atmosphere, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's so nice. I wish I could go back to the past."

“Yes.” Sylph’s eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled.

"Huh?" Lorenwei looked at her. "What are you grinning like that for no reason?"

"What's it to you?" Sylph was still smiling, and she even stuck a piece of bread into Lorenvie's plate. "Eat up, you'll stuff yourself."

"I have a great appetite right now, I won't overeat." Lorenwei continued to binge eat.

Starting yesterday, I've been eating almost as much as I would in a week over several meals.

However, people no longer take it seriously; they know the cause, and it's good that it's not an illness. It's just that the diagnosis seems to have come earlier than expected, which is somewhat worrying.

On the contrary, Lorenwei herself remained carefree.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Sylph asked, "Hey, Lorenve, if you keep eating like this and your body meets the requirements, does that mean you're already set in stone?"

"I think so. I feel that the food I eat is converted into energy and stored in my body."

Kurara interjected, "You seem to still have a slight fever, right? It's not high, but it's a low-grade fever. Aren't you worried?"

"What's there to worry about? The slight increase in body temperature is probably because the body is secreting a large number of stem cells, right?"

Meilan, whose appetite rivaled Lorenwei's, slurped her food, muttering, "Stem cells? Rice-eating cells?"
