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

Kula and the other women rolled their eyes. For example, even the position of the threat was based on personal preference.

“What kind of analogy is that?” Burbo quickly tried to refute.

Lorenwei continued, "I haven't finished yet. After you did this, you threatened to kill the beautiful woman if I didn't give you the money. You even made the dagger flash while saying that if I didn't give you the money, I would be tormented by my conscience, that I would be a really bad person, that I would be a bastard who doesn't care about other people's lives!"

"..."

"This is moral blackmail. You were the one who did the wrong thing from the beginning, letting the wrong person into my team, just like a kidnapper holding a knife to a beautiful woman's neck. Others are acting in a reasonable way, just like I think she will disrupt my harem, cough, the unity of my partners, and I plan to let her leave the team. This is the same as the threatened person not wanting to pay money, both are to protect their own interests from being harmed."

Kurara, Sylph, and Melanie all understood and showed thoughtful expressions.

Lorenwei stood up and reprimanded her righteously, "Think about what you just did? You've been trying to persuade me to bear the shackles of morality. Driving her away is harming someone? Bah! You're the one who's harming someone! Don't distort the truth!"

"That's right! He's the bad guy!" Meilan understood immediately. She leaped forward and pounced on Burbo's side, delivering a swift punch in the blink of an eye!

"Whoa! Ouch~——!!!" Caught off guard, Burbo was sent flying with a loud bang.

The loud bang was the protective effect of the earth-elemental magic crystal, but even so, he was still sent flying backward.

In an instant, the chair he was sitting on was shattered by the impact.

Thump—Bulbo slammed his back against the wall with a loud thud, causing plaster to crumble and fall off.

Without protective crystals, that punch would likely have left him lifeless. Even ordinary protective treasures would probably shatter and become ineffective.

Fortunately, Bulbo was a highly skilled mage who had put a lot of effort into the protective crystal, which was a top-tier earth-type crystal with the strongest defensive capabilities.

He was confident in his experience to provide adequate magical defense, so he focused particularly on physical defense, which allowed him to narrowly escape serious injury from Meilan's punch. However, his waist still twitched from the force of the blow.

"Bad guys deserve to be beaten to a pulp!" Meilan blew on her fist and winked at Lorenwei.

The meaning was clear: You're not suited for manual labor, let me do it!

Chapter 250 Sally delivers a letter, Aisser sends a letter, the future successor to the Demon King!

"Mentor!" Kurara exclaimed.

Sylph was also startled.

Lorenwei quickly exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh dear, Mr. Bulpo! Are you alright?!"

Meilan rubbed her fists, pouting, and said, "I wasn't warmed up properly, so I didn't use enough strength. The angle of my punch wasn't quite right either. Why isn't the arc punch that Bulbo taught me perfect?"

Burbo, who was lying on the ground groaning, almost cried. He had instructed Meilan in martial arts, and although he had charged her tuition, how could he have taught her only power generation techniques? Was this reaping what he sowed?

Just as Kurara was about to help Bulbo up, who had fallen face up to the ground, Lorenwei stopped her, saying, "Don't move! You can't easily help an elderly person who has fallen; it could worsen their injury!"

"Oh, really?" Kurara stopped in a panic.

She had no first aid experience, after all, she had always been waited on by others, and the little first aid knowledge she had learned was how to use magic scrolls to heal and how to stop bleeding herself, etc. No mentor had ever taught her how to treat the elderly.

“Hey, he actually hit me, what did I do…” Burbo grumbled.

The fact that he didn't fly into a rage already showed that he was guilty.

He could easily have jumped up and roared in fury, even fought back. But after being righteously reprimanded by Lorenwei, if he were to retaliate in anger and things escalate, it might be...

He had secretly let Sally in to trick Lorenvie, and anyone could tell that he had bad intentions, so Burbo was in the wrong.

Furthermore, if we explain it using Lorenwei's theory of moral blackmail, it becomes even more awkward. If it blows up and gets out, not only will people laugh at us, but it will at least become a topic of conversation among our daughter, Bordonna.

Furthermore, Lorenwei is already a popular figure at the academy. If the students find out that she was given a place through connections, or even that it was done maliciously and forcefully, she would likely become the public enemy of most of the female students...

In an instant, Burbo considered all the possibilities, so he held back from lashing out.

"Hey! I have to say something to you! Meilan, how could you so easily resort to violence? There's something wrong with your temper. I'm telling you, you have to hold back and not lay a hand on them! No matter how outrageous they are, we shouldn't fight back! We should reason with them!"

"I understand reasoning with people." Meilan nodded vigorously, looking for a weapon like a spiked club.

"Look at you, still haven't realized your mistake." Lorenwei pointed at Meilan with a pained expression, "You're just too impatient. Why the rush to act? Let him finish speaking! Some things that deserve a beating don't need to be done now!"

Kurara grabbed Lorenvi angrily: "What are you saying? Quickly help the old man up."

She bent down to help him up.

"Didn't I tell you not to move? Let me check your injuries first." At this moment, Lorenwei skipped over to the side of Bulbo, who was lying there groaning. She squatted down as if concerned and poked his injured area repeatedly.

puff-

Does it hurt here?

bang bang—

"Does it hurt here?"

dong dong——

"Oh dear, does it hurt here too?"

"Ouch! Stop poking me! It hurts wherever you poke me!" Bulbo cried out. "I have a protective crystal, my internal organs aren't injured, it's just that my old back is a bit sore! Help me up, slowly..."

"Oh, I'll help you up right away!" Lorenwei reached out and grabbed Burbo by the back of the collar, pulling him up from the ground.

"Slow down!" Kurala shouted before Burbo could even yell.

She still respected her teacher and quickly pulled up a new chair for the old man to sit down.

“My back…” Burbo lamented.

Burbo pointed at Lorenwei angrily and said, "My back was injured three-tenths from the blow Meilan hit. And then you, you brat, yanked it up, and it's injured seven-tenths!"

Lorenwei was not one to be scolded to her face. She immediately pulled out a small notebook and took notes seriously: "When you see Mom and Dad, remember to tell them that Mr. Burbo respectfully calls me a brat."

“You…” Burbo’s nose was crooked with anger.

Although the two heroes wouldn't fight her over such words, Lorenwei's attitude was really infuriating!

Kurara quickly said, "I'm so sorry, mentor, I apologize to you on Lorenwei's behalf!"

"I didn't hit him!" Lorenwei said, looking wronged.

Kurara, unusually angry, snapped, "Shut up!"

Lorenwei wanted to argue further: "But..."

Sylph nudged him from behind.

Lorenwei remained silent.

It's rare to see Kurala angry; the only time she got angry was when her Seville identity was exposed.

Lorenwei stole a glance at Kurara's expression, just as the princess glared at her.

Kurala still respects her elders.

But that guy, Burbo, is so disrespectful to his elders. Don't you think he's deliberately trying to ruin our little family relationship? Lorenwei thought to herself, feeling indignant.

"I hit him, I hit the bad guy, I did nothing wrong!" Meilan patted her still not-so-ample chest and stepped forward, acting as if she were taking responsibility for her actions, but in reality... she was just making a scene.

"you you……"

"Yeah, the punch I threw at you was the arc punch you taught me. But I didn't learn it well; I didn't feel like I was using the right amount of force. Was it because you didn't teach me properly?" Meilan's words were even more infuriating than Lorenwei's.

From the very beginning, Meilan had never been close to Burbo. Lorenwei had paid Burbo to do so, unlike Kulala who had become her apprentice; their relationship wasn't one of mentor and teacher, but rather more like that of a tutor.

Therefore, after understanding that Bulbo had deliberately planted Sally, Meilan was furious.

I decide what's in charge of my harem!

The Demon King has already arranged for Lorenwei to be the head of the harem, and the decision of who to bring in is entirely up to her. When did it become your turn, old man, to make those decisions?

Having understood Lorenwei's analogy, Meilan felt even more that the old man was extremely wicked, doing the worst things in the name of justice, and labeling good people as immoral. So Meilan swung her fist.

One key point is that Meilan felt that Lorenwei was not good at throwing punches.

After all, Burbo and Lorenwei are both human, so interpersonal relationships are still very important, while he is a high-level demon, so it doesn't matter!

Furthermore, Lorenwei is the most popular girl in the academy, so she doesn't want to be associated with hitting old men. She might as well just take the blame herself.

Meilan swung her fist, not minding giving the old man another punch.

Of course, the force will be controlled to a level that won't kill the target.

“I charged you a fee, but I didn’t teach you in class, so we can’t be considered master and apprentice. But you, you don’t even know how to respect an old man like me? At least you can’t beat up an old man, can you?” Burbo rebuked Meilan.

"I hit a bad guy!" Meilan retorted.

Looking at Meilan, Burbo realized that the basic concepts of respecting the elderly and caring for the young seemed to be completely absent from this girl.

"Oh dear, Meilan, you're too stubborn! Let me tell you, people are categorized by age, but people's actions are categorized as good or bad." Lorenwei came over, as if lecturing Meilan. "If someone does something wrong and hurts others, they'll get beaten up. It has nothing to do with being old, uh..."

Lorenwei seemed to pause here, scratching the back of her head: "I'm sorry, I was going to say something nice for an old man like you. It's just that, Mr. Bulbo, your age has nothing to do with whether you deserve to be beaten or not, right? Forgive my incompetence, forgive my clumsy tongue, even if I wanted to teach Meilan a lesson, I really can't come up with anything else..."

Burbo felt like he had a breath stuck in his throat and couldn't get it out.

Kurala quickly brought over a cup of tea: "Teacher, please don't be angry! I'll teach that Lorenwei a lesson!"

She went over and pinched Lorenwei's arm: "You're usually so quick-witted, why aren't you working now? What are you pretending for? You're most afraid of being pinched, aren't you? I'll make you ache!"

"Ouch! Ouch!" Lorenwei jumped to dodge, but quickly realized that only the first pinch hurt. The subsequent pinches from Kula were not forceful at all, but the arm movements were very large, as if a lot of force was used.

My first wife still loves me the most~ Lorenwei thought to herself, feeling secretly pleased as she dodged away.

"Still laughing! Still laughing! I'll strangle you!" Seeing that she couldn't even fake her expression, Kula got so angry that she actually used more force.

With his keen insight, Burbo could tell that Kula's pinch was rather unrealistic, but he was in the wrong from the start, and was then subjected to a morally ambushing attack and even punched...

Lorenwei is a tough one to mess with!

Boulbo walked away grumbling.

He cursed in his heart, but didn't dare to say it aloud.

He was afraid of being recorded in the books.

Kurara saw them off a long way, and when she returned, she saw Lorenve cleaning up the broken wooden chair in the room, while Sylph was sweeping up the dust and grime on the walls.

Only Meilan was leisurely sitting on the sofa eating.

Lorenwei had already used her micro-manipulation magic to collect the wood shavings, saying, "Meilan, you've worked hard. I'll give you a reward after we're done cleaning."

Meilan said smugly, "Hmph, aren't I amazing? Let me tell you, I knew you wouldn't dare to fight back, so I punched you for you."

"Absolutely incredible! That punch cleaved the heavens and shattered the underworld! That punch shook the heavens and earth and made ghosts weep! That punch was both stylish and flamboyant..."

"Showy?"
