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

"……"(keep away……)

Girls: "Kurara is such a good girl."

"Exactly, I don't care about two centimeters."

"Huh? Aren't you ashamed to say that?"

"Okay, putting aside the size, Kurara actually paid for the meal herself with coins."

“True love, absolute true love. True love means being willing to give everything for the other person. Look, she even carried the knight's sword herself.”

"Kurara is a good girl. Loren... that scumbag!"

Lorenwei and Kurara left the cafeteria and began to walk.

The two chatted about their hometowns.

Fortunately, Lorenwei has fourteen years of new growth period; if she had just transmigrated, she probably wouldn't be able to say anything about the situation in Zerou City.

"So you're a Fete?" Kurara felt a strange sense of unease.

Lorenwei decided to tell most of the truth: "No, my ancestors weren't from this continent. My parents' generation were from the Leia Federation."

"That's great!" Kurara said happily.

Lorenwei suddenly asked, "The Grand Duchy and the Fate Empire have a tense relationship, right?"

“Yes, in recent years the Empire has been demanding more and more tribute from the Duchy, and has also repeatedly asked to reclaim the right to mine salt, iron, gold and magic crystals within its territory.” Kurara subconsciously slung the knight’s sword she was carrying behind her back.

According to Grand Duke Posi, Kurara's father, the first thing the Fite Empire wanted to do if it wanted to unify the continent was to completely incorporate all the duchies within its territory. At the very least, it wanted to have the duchies fight on the front lines.

However, the Grand Duchy of Posi and the Federation of Leia have always been on good terms, and Posi is not a nation that enjoys violence, which means that conflict is inevitable.

Of course, the so-called lack of interest in violence is simply because one can't win...

Thinking of this, Kurara's smile slowly disappeared.

She feared that both she and the Grand Duchy would be caught in a situation beyond their control...

I must become stronger! If I could be like the legendary heroes, Ether and the others, perhaps I could intimidate the Fate Empire. Kurara's determination to pursue her studies grew even stronger.

Actually, Kurala's thinking was a bit too simplistic.

Legendary heroes may indeed influence the Fate Empire, but they cannot completely deter or stop the ambitions of a hegemon. Otherwise, the Cromwell family would not have provoked them.

It's impossible for the Fate Empire not to know that Bordona and the heroine Athena are very close. Of course, it's also out of consideration for this that only Cromwell was sent to probe.

This resulted in a strong counterattack from Aethers. The positioning of the two legendary heroes hampered the Fate Empire's actions, undoubtedly impacting its greed for Moonlight Academy. However, the technological research and development capabilities of Moonlight Academy were simply too tempting…

Lorenwei asked, "So, do you think these two attacks might be the work of the Empire? What are your thoughts?"

Kurara shook her head: "I have no clue at all. The opponent's attack methods don't have any Empire characteristics. What do you think?"

“If you don’t have any additional clues, I think it should be the work of another force. Because if it was sent by the Empire, they would definitely know that you have an S-rank elemental talent in light.”

"Huh?" Kurara was taken aback.

"You know the Holy Protection skill that only a Grand Knight can learn. The Archmage was very surprised at the time."

“Yes, that’s right. If they knew about my S-rank light-elemental talent beforehand, they should have been able to guess that I possessed a Grand Knight skill beyond my rank.” Kurara understood and praised, “There are so many smart people around me that I feel stupid. Lorenwei also made a similar deduction and even predicted on the viewing platform that there were two Cromwells.”

Lorenvi chuckled inwardly: "I spoke with the headmistress, and she thinks it might be the work of the [Black Robe] organization, you know that?"

"This is the first time I've heard of this," Kurara shook her head.

The two discussed it further, but still had no clue.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you for protecting me all this time. I was wondering why you hadn't come back yet, was it because of that... cough cough, that's the reason." Kurara was a little embarrassed. "But later I found out that you noticed there was a black snake hiding there, so you didn't show yourself and wanted to see what it was up to, right?"

"I suppose so..." Lorenwei thought to herself, there's no need to explain if there's a misunderstanding in this regard.

"Thank you." Kurara's smile returned, and looking at Loren, she temporarily forgot about the troubles of the Grand Duchy.

Lorenvi remembered, "Oh right, the headmaster gave me an office where I can stay temporarily. The security there is quite good. Would you like to move in with me? That way, it will be easier to protect you."

Kurala was stunned and stopped in her tracks.

Uh, that seems a bit abrupt... Lorenwei felt she shouldn't have been so direct.

"You...you said...I don't live in the girls' dormitory?" Kurala thought she had misheard.

“Yes, I think it would be better if you moved out and lived with me,” Lorenwei said. “Although the school’s security system has been upgraded to level one alert, the girls’ dormitory is still not very safe. It’s easy to catch a thief, but hard to prevent one. What if there’s a sneak attack at any time…”

Kula took the first part of what Lorenwei said to heart: "It would be better if you moved out and lived with me..."

In an instant, she felt the blood rushing to her face.

"No, no, I can't, I..." Kurara panicked, and the knight's sword she had been carrying behind her back clattered to the ground. "We're far from that point yet, I... I think... no! It really won't work!"

"Huh?" Lorenwei saw that her reaction was quite intense.

What bad intentions could Lorenwei possibly have?

Even if she did, what could she do? She could have raided Kurara at night and asked her which finger she liked best.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean you couldn't..." Kurara panicked and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I understand." Although Lorenwei was a variant of a typical straight man, he could still understand that it was impossible for a girl to be so easily willing to live with him.

“I’m sorry, I don’t think we can do that…” Kurara picked up the knight’s sword, lowering her head and speaking softly, not daring to look up at Loren. She held the sword upside down, nervously jabbing it against the ground with her other hand. “I feel like we’ve only known each other for a few days, we need to get to know each other better, and our relationship needs time to develop. We haven’t even exchanged gifts, we haven’t met each other’s parents, and even…”

In the blink of an eye, she had already poked a hole in the bluestone ground behind her.

But despite giving many reasons, I received no response from the other party.

Kurara, who had been too afraid to look up, slowly raised her head and was surprised to find...

What about Loren?

The boy who just invited me to live with him has vanished without a trace!

"Oh, Kurara, you really are here." Lorenwei, dressed in a light white dress, walked out from the woods not far away.

"Lorenwei?"

"Hehe, Loren said I should help you because your safety is threatened, so he asked me to stay with you." Lorenwei approached with a smile and took Kurara's knight sword from her: "Oh dear, if you keep stabbing, you might be punished by having to repair the road."

Kurara looked around but couldn't see Loren anywhere.

“He had to leave early. I never live in the dormitory; I always stay in Aunt Bordonna’s private office, which has a living area.” Lorenwei smiled and took Kurara’s hand. “Wouldn’t it be alright if we lived together?”

So smooth and tender! It's so nice to be a girl.

Now she can touch things freely with her little hands, and maybe she'll take her clothes off at night.

"No, no problem... Thank you." Kurara was still a little taken aback.

"Come on, follow me. Our temporary accommodation is nearby." Lorenwei said cheerfully, pulling Kurara towards the nearest headmaster's office.

With two centimeters in front and ten coins behind, Loren's reputation is ruined; it's best to lay low for a while. Lorenwei is thinking of using her female identity for a few days.

This is a special area hidden in the forest, accessible only by traversing a specially magically certified path.

A two-story villa is nestled in the secluded woods.

"The first floor has a living room, kitchen, dining room, and office. The second floor has a bedroom, bathroom, and study. How about it, not bad, right?" Lorenwei led Kurara on a tour from the first floor to the second floor.

She also checked the magic defense system, and with the scrutinizing eye taught by the Great Sage and the Cardinal, she found its defenses to be quite good. While it couldn't compare to the small wooden house outside Zerou City, it was sufficient to prevent intrusions by anyone below the level of a Magister.

"It's a nice place..." Kula replied casually as Lorenwei led her around the villa, but her mind was elsewhere.

Is he angry? Does he think I suspect he has ulterior motives?

But even if I believe he's not that kind of person, we still can't live together!

Too, too early! Kurara bit her thin red lips, her girlish reserve making her stand firm.

You need to date for at least two years, umm, if he's really good, a year is barely enough...

If I could take it back to show my father, perhaps I could consider it in six months...

If we could get engaged... no, no, what if she gets pregnant?

Lorenwei suddenly asked, "Hey, is there anything else you need to buy? We can do the shopping after class."

"..." Kurara was lost in thought and didn't notice anything.

"Hey, I'm asking you something," Lorenwei waved her little hand in front of her face.

"Oh, what if I get pregnant... Oh dear!" Kurara had only said a few words when she realized she had misspoke and ran away, covering her face.

Chapter 067 If she goes out, I'll come often!

"How embarrassing! How embarrassing!" Kurara rushed into the study.

How could I have said something I was thinking so easily? Pregnancy... Oh my god, how could I have said that? Kurara covered her burning face, too ashamed to face Lorenwei.

"Huh? Kurara, what do you mean by suspicion? Who do you suspect?" Lorenwei's voice came from downstairs.

Huh? Kurara was taken aback. Could it be that she didn't hear her clearly?

Kurala quietly walked to the second-floor handrail.

Lorenwei was sitting at her desk on the first floor, holding a pen, when she said, "What do you have to doubt? What are you doubting? Come down and let's discuss what to buy after class."

"..." Kurala hesitated a bit.

"There's only half an hour left before afternoon classes start." Lorenwei tapped the desk with her expensive quill pen, making a soft tapping sound. "Princess Kurara's first time... what if she's late for free class?"

Kurala got off the plane with some skepticism.

"Toothpaste, toothbrush, hmm, these things invented by the saintess are still quite expensive even after fifty years. If I keep one set in the dorm, I'll have to buy them all here. Oh, and towels, bath towels..." Lorenwei tilted her head seriously, thinking for a while, then writing for a while.

Kurala looked at the few blue tufts of hair on her forehead, which swayed back and forth with her tilting head, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Just as Kurara couldn't resist reaching out to touch the few ahoge (cowlicks), Lorenwei, while writing, said, "And there are also children's blankets, shoes, and clothes..."

"Huh?" Kurara was taken aback.

Lorenwei tilted her head back, blinking her big eyes as she looked at Kurara across from her at the table: "Didn't you say you'd get pregnant?"

"Oh dear! You little rascal!" Kurara was both embarrassed and annoyed, and reached out to tug at a few of Lorenwei's stray hairs.

Lorenwei clutched her forehead and screamed, "Hey, stop it! Stop it! I'll go bald! I'll go bald!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Although Kurara wouldn't actually pluck out the ahoge (cowlick), she wasn't going to let her off the hook.
