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

"Okay, I'll go buy it! Don't forget the new dish you promised me." As soon as Meilan heard what was needed, she knew there would be delicious food again.

Lorenwei smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's what I promised to do for you before."

That's killing two birds with one stone, that's wonderful.

However, I have two wives at home, so I can't kill two birds with one stone.

However, I am now in the process of having three wives, and my post-marital duties are defined as the arduous task of learning from one example and applying it to others.

If it's twice a week, then you'd have to do it six times a week. That leaves only one day off, which is already quite pitiful...

If I were to marry four women, I'd need to work overtime one day, and I wouldn't have a single day off all week! That would be terrifying!

Of course, this algorithm does not take into account special days.

As someone who has thoroughly researched married life online, Lorenwei deeply agrees with the saying: Before marriage, you might think that special days are cruel to men, but after marriage, you realize how merciful God is—they are days off for men!

As Lorenwei was lost in thought, the door creaked open from the inside.

It was Sylph who opened the door: "You're back? Why were you talking for so long at the door? Why don't you come in quickly?"

“Ah…” Lorenwei felt guilty.

With a smile on her face, Sylph asked kindly, "How is it? You've been gone so long, have you seen Sally yet?"

“…I saw him.” Lorenwei was worried that lying would cause trouble, so she simply confessed.

A good attitude is important, as it may result in a lighter punishment.

Lorenwei quietly slipped through the door.

"Wait a minute, that move of yours looks familiar." Sylph looked at her sneaky movements and felt like she had seen it more than once.

Ah, right, Siruf realized: this was the same shady way Mu Zhe used to sneak out back when they were in the Hero Squad.

Lost in thought, Sylph was about to block her when she accidentally let her brush past her.

"Huh? What do you mean? How could that be?" Lorenwei chuckled awkwardly as she entered the house.

However, Lorenwei was slightly surprised as she brushed past him.

Because Sylph instinctively turned around to block her, but when Lorenve brushed past her, she slipped in front of her and made slight contact.

Although Sylph had just finished training and was still wearing the leather armor I made for her, the spot she brushed against was the other side, which wasn't protected by the leather armor.

Mmm, it feels so good! Lorenwei's sense of happiness was as overwhelming as the places she touched.

"You lecher! You weren't even this lustful back then," Sylph spat.

"I'm innocent! Your chest size back then was nowhere near what it is now. It was so easy to slip past you back then; it wasn't so easy for me to get close to you."

"Pah! Pah! Pah! She's a lecherous scoundrel!" Sylph tried to grab her.

Lorenwei laughed and ran to the kitchen: "Time to prepare dinner!"

“…You have something to hide!” Sylph instinctively sensed that Lorenve looked like she had done something wrong.

If it were a normal day, after taking advantage of her like that, she would probably have a mischievous grin on her face, wanting to keep rubbing against her and taking even more advantage.

But to leave so quickly after just one touch is hardly the style of Lorenwei, that lecherous jerk.

"Kurara, Lorenve is back." Siruf went to the study to call the princess.

Kurara was reading books on knighthood theory in her study when she heard the shout and quickly came out.

“I’m telling you, Lorenve was acting strange just now,” Sylph recounted her behavior.

After listening, Kurara sorted out her thoughts: "She didn't answer whether you saw Sally, nor did she mention anything about joining the team, right?"

"Ah! She almost got away with it!" Sylph clapped her hands and rushed into the kitchen. "Lorenve! You better confess!"

A few minutes later, Lorenwei, wearing an apron, sat pitifully on the sofa like a maid being scolded by her master, being interrogated by Sylph and Kurara.

Although there was no punishment for forcing someone to abdicate, Lorenwei still reported what had just happened in detail, albeit initially only briefly.

"So, you're going to acknowledge her as your daughter? The Sword Saint Hero has a daughter, hmm." Siruf's face darkened.

This feels so strange! Lorenve's daughter from a past life? The more Siluf thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

The story of how I became a stepmother before I even got married?

The female elf thought about many things...

"Don't say that, that's not what I meant," Lorenwei quickly corrected. "This isn't my biological daughter. You should know whether I have any blood relatives left behind."

"How did Sylph know?" Kurara suddenly asked, hitting the nail on the head on the crucial question.

Sylph blushed slightly.

Lorenwei quickly explained, "In my past life, I teamed up with her for two years and we were basically never apart. How could I have had the chance to go out and flirt with other girls?"

"Sally is from Zerou City, right?" Siruf seemed quite interested in her potential rival, trying hard to recall. "I remember it very clearly. Once, near Zerou City, the Sword Saint Hero left for about three minutes to relieve himself."

"I can't do anything in three minutes, can I?!" Lorenwei cried out.

Sylph covered her cheeks with her hands: "I've heard from my people that some female elves who married humans said that if it's the man's first time, it's very quick..."

Kula also covered her face.

"Hey, hey, hey! That possibility is practically nonexistent!" Lorenwei decided she couldn't waste any more time arguing with the two sensitive girls and began to recount in detail her experience of going to see Sally.

"Her room was vandalized with graffiti?" Siluf, who had been to the dilapidated house, was filled with righteous indignation upon hearing this.

Kurala remained silent, her face grim. She had heard her mentor mention this kind of bullying among ordinary people, but this was the first time someone close to her had experienced it.

“Yes, I saw it very clearly. The words written were extremely offensive,” Lorenwei recounted.

Sylph's eyes flashed with anger: "When do you think those bullies applied it?"

“Sally probably stayed at the dormitory or the headmaster’s place last night, definitely not at home. She came to deliver the letter this morning, so she must have found it when she went back around noon.”

"I understand," Siruf said thoughtfully.

“I think Sally is a good girl. Instead of buying swordsman equipment as her mother instructed, she used the gold coins I gave her to buy a crystal ball for her mother,” Lorenwei analyzed. “Have you thought about it? She seriously assured us before that she wouldn’t hold us back, but she doesn’t rely on these equipment. I think she is a very strong-willed and ambitious girl.”

“…” Sylph and Kurara exchanged a glance.

They wanted to say sourly: "Lorenwei, how could you see the good in the other person?"

However, both women were intelligent and knew that Lorenwei's words were a very positive assessment, so they didn't harbor any ambiguous feelings towards her.

Lorenwei continued, "So, I hope you understand that I want to help Sally build her self-confidence and overcome her intense inferiority complex. Sylph, you've had a lot of contact with her, you should know that, right?"

Sylph hummed in agreement.

Lorenwei held up three fingers: "There are three ways to help her build confidence: one is to let her give up the fantasy of being the daughter of a sword saint and to believe from the bottom of her heart that she can succeed. That's too difficult."

Sylph and Kurara thought for a moment and then slowly nodded.

"The second possibility is that her mother died."

Kurara: "...Don't jinx it."

Lorenwei scratched the back of her head: "Haha, isn't this a good way to motivate her?"

Sylph nodded: "I've heard similar heroic tales."

“The third and simplest way is to make her confirm that she is the daughter of the Sword Saint,” Lorenwei said. “What does my reputation from my past life matter? Can a romantic night with the fortune teller ruin my reputation? Such damage to reputation is nothing compared to saving a good girl’s confidence and paving the way for her growth.”

Both Sylph and Kurara scrutinized Lorenwei.

It's unbelievable that she, who is usually so carefree and eccentric, would utter such righteous words.

“I agree!” Sylph sat down next to Lorenvie and raised her fist in a gesture of encouragement.

Kurara sat down next to Lorenvi, took her hand, and said earnestly, "Lorenvi, I agree with what you said. Go and help her as you see fit! Just ask if you need our help!"

"Haha, my wives are so kind, let's give each other a kiss!" Lorenwei wrapped her arms around the waists of the two women, ready to please both of them.

"You really are only enthusiastic for three minutes!" Sylph pushed her lips away, annoyed.

"Don't wrong me! It wasn't three minutes!"

For dinner, Lorenwei showed off her culinary skills, preparing three novel and unfamiliar dishes.

However, Lorenwei noticed that Meilan seemed somewhat absent-minded after returning from grocery shopping.

"Meilan, you seem a bit distracted? You're eating less than usual."

"But you've bought the groceries. Did you get into a fight?" Lorenwei asked with concern, but didn't receive a clear answer.

"Huh? What?" Meilan seemed to have just come to her senses.

Lorenwei: "I said you ate about a fifth slower than usual. Was it because the food I cooked tonight wasn't good? Did my cooking skills get worse after I got sick?"

"No, no. Your food is delicious today." Meilan then sped up the pace of stuffing food into her mouth.

Clearly, Meilan was unwilling to say, so Lorenwei didn't ask any further.

However, Lorenwei was certain that Meilan had something on her mind, as her eating speed was different from usual.

After dinner, it was time for training again.

Even Lorenwei was seriously training her magical control, which surprised Sylph and the other women.

They were unaware of Lorenve's plans for tonight, which required a great deal of rehearsal beforehand.

After going to bed that night, Lorenwei stubbornly stayed awake.

She's not just stubbornly holding on somewhere; she doesn't have that ability. It's about a person stubbornly refusing to sleep. A good child wouldn't misunderstand.

After Sylph went to the washroom, Lorenwei carefully sensed the elf's steady breathing on the large bed and, after confirming that everything was alright, quietly got up.

Sylph has a habit of getting up at night, while Kurara, as a princess, always sleeps soundly at night and has no similar habit.

Lorenve's meticulously planned midnight operation went unnoticed by Sylph and the other women.

In the study, Lorenwei did a lot of detailed work, keeping her busy for the first half of the night.

Lorenwei was not ready until after 2 a.m.

This involved very delicate magical control, and she also had to be careful not to disturb Sylph and the other women.

Fortunately, Meilan, who was close by in the living room, was still sleeping soundly.

After packing her things, she quietly left the little house.

She needed to prepare for Sally's identity verification.
