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

Many people don't like spicy rabbit heads, but Meilan doesn't mind them. Lorenwei watched her run as fast as a rabbit, chasing after her figure.

Kurala came rushing after her, shouting as she ran, "Don't let her chase you too far, be careful!"

Although it is still within the academy's sphere of influence, safety is the top priority.

However, it was too late to stop them. By the time Lorenwei and the others arrived at the edge of the lush grassland, Meilan had already disappeared.

This area isn't just a plain grassland; there are also some woods and dense shrubs that obstruct the view.

“We’re a team, we can’t let Meilan do this. It’s lucky it’s just a rabbit, otherwise it could easily lead to something unexpected,” Kurara reminded Lorenwei.

Although Kurala was righteously ordering Lorenwei to do things, she was implicitly treating Lorenwei as the core.

“Indeed, she deserves to be taught a lesson.” Lorenwei activated her wind magic and shouted, “Meilan—join us quickly—”

There was no response for a long time.

I called out a few more times, but there was still no response.

"Meilan—if you don't come back, don't even think about eating my cooking!" Lorenwei shouted.

rustling sound —

Seeing a figure sprinting in the distance, with striking red hair, Meilan ran back.

She stopped abruptly in front of Lorenwei, panting heavily, her face covered in smoldering black smoke and several red marks: "Ouch, I almost caught it! What a pity I got scalded by its fire breath and kicked twice. It really hurt!"

"Look at you, you're so badly injured, you should take better care of yourself." Although it wasn't even a minor injury, Lorenwei smiled and immediately reached out to treat Meilan.

"Cough cough—" Kurara coughed beside her.

Lorenwei's arm, which she was about to raise, was also pulled back by Sylph.

Seeing that Lorenwei's attitude was not right, Kurala simply stepped in herself: "Meilan, you were wrong just now!"

Lorenwei quickly corrected her attitude, nodding seriously beside her.

Meilan wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve, which only spread the smoky marks across her face, making her look even worse: "Something's not right?"

Kurara pressed down on Lorenvi's hand, which was about to help wipe her hands, and demanded sternly, "We came here as a team to hunt rabbits, why are you running around?!"

"It's a bit like the first wife bullying the second wife," Lorenwei thought to herself. But looking at the comparison of Kurara and Meilan's figures, it's not quite the norm. Aren't the first wives usually flat-chested and the second wives more voluptuous? Why is it reversed here?

Meilan asked in confusion, "Aren't we catching rabbits? I am catching them."

"We are a team."

"Ah, I should call you all to come and catch them together."

Kula quickly corrected, "No, we are a team, and we need to divide the work and cooperate."

"Catching rabbits involves division of labor? Oh, I see, it means making a rabbit trap together!"

"No!" Kurala exclaimed in exasperation.

"Hmm?" Meilan pouted. "Does the princess want to teach me how to catch rabbits? I could catch them when I was two years old."

The little boy still looked defiant.

Kula rolled her eyes. A two-year-old catching rabbits? Who knew that Meilan, this simple-minded girl, could be so boastful.

She naturally didn't know that this was true for Meilan.

Not wanting to hurt feelings, Kurala pulled Lorenwei aside and said, "You should talk to her."

"Hmm, I guess I'll have to do it again?" Lorenwei replaced Kurara and stood in front of Meilan, but smiled and looked at her for a long time without saying a word.

"Lorenwei, don't look at me like that." Meilan felt guilty. She was afraid Lorenwei wouldn't cook for her anymore, since she'd accepted the food.

"Braised rabbit head," Lorenwei said with a smile, referring to a dish.

Meilan's defiant expression immediately came to a halt.

"Spicy Rabbit Cubes." Another dish name.

Meilan's big eyes are shining.

Spicy Black Bean Rabbit.

Meilan began to smile ingratiatingly at Lorenwei.

"Fresh Pepper Rabbit".

Meilan's saliva demonstrates that humans also follow the law of conditioned reflexes.

Lorenwei held out a hand: "Come on, give me your hand."

Meilan reached out and grabbed her hand.

Lorenwei: "Come on, let's spin around."

Meilan didn't let go of Lorenwei's hand, and just twirled around in a dance-like motion.

Her long, shoulder-length red hair swirled around her like a vibrant flame as she turned. A unique charm emanated from her.

Goodness! Lorenwei's eyes widened in surprise. Meilan usually seemed so innocent and a bit of a glutton, how could she become so radiant with just a little sunshine? If she could have Kula's figure—no, even with her current Siluf figure—she would absolutely be a stunner!

Lorenwei held onto her hand tightly, then affectionately ruffled Meilan's red hair with her other hand before turning to Kurara: "Mission accomplished!"

"What did you accomplish?!" Kurara angrily slapped Lorenwei: "Turn her from a teammate who disobeyed team discipline into an obedient foodie?"

"I'm not a foodie!" Meilan pouted.

"She's just a gourmet," Lorenwei said.

Meilan immediately nodded and praised, "That's a great name!"

Kurara looked at Lorenwei without saying a word, just staring at her.

"Alright, you've got guts, first wife," Lorenwei coughed lightly, then adopted a serious tone towards Meilan: "Meilan, I have to criticize you..."

Snapped--

Silph, who had been silent all along, suddenly reached out and slapped away Lorenve's right hand, which had been clinging to Melanie.

"Hmm?" Lorenwei asked, puzzled.

"My hand slipped." Sylph looked away.

"..."

"There's no logic in criticizing someone while holding their hand at the same time," Silph muttered to herself, keeping her gaze elsewhere.

Lorenwei ignored her for the moment and continued lecturing Meilan: "We're a team! What does it mean to be a team? It means we've studied together, climbed walls together, shared spoils together, and..."

She didn't dare say anything more, but Meilan immediately added, "But I didn't do anything wrong."

Lorenwei said seriously, "You were already wrong for not responding promptly when your teammates called you."

Kurara and Sylph both nodded, and Melan thought for a moment and also nodded slightly.

"It's good that you know you made this big mistake. Try not to make it again next time—oops, I mean, next time." Lorenwei wanted to reach out and pull Meilan, but when she looked at Sylph, she held back. She just crossed her arms and continued to lecture, "Meilan, you were doing what an individual should do when you caught the rabbit. You were very proactive, that's true. But when we're a group, there are better ways to cooperate that are much more efficient than when we're individuals."

"Isn't the team catching rabbits together? Why don't we just run together?"

“It’s about catching rabbits together, but not chasing them,” Lorenwei said. “How about this, we make a bet: the three of us will team up and compete against you. We’ll start at nightfall and see who catches the most, okay?”

Meilan confidently declared, "No problem! I can catch more than the three of you combined!"

Lorenwei confidently added, "We're talking about fairness, otherwise how can we demonstrate our team advantage? If we catch no more than three times as many rabbits as you, we lose."

“You have even less chance of winning!” Meilan exclaimed. “If my grandparents hadn’t only allowed me to hunt wild game once a day, I would have hunted all the rabbits in Master Mountain long ago.”

"It's good that you're confident. Let's bet on dinner. If we win, you go hungry and watch us eat. If you win, you can order food for three days and I'll cook it for you."

Meilan rubbed her hands together, eager for a bet: "Alright! Let's bet on this! Will the rabbit be dead or alive?"

"I don't care if they live or die."

"Shall we begin now?"

Lorenwei glanced at Kurara, and without indicating any objection, nodded: "Begin!"

Meilan dashed out and ran back the way she came, shouting as she ran, "I think I saw a nest hiding in the hole earlier, I could have caught it!"

As Lorenwei watched Meilan dash away, Kurara came over and whispered, "Are you confident you can beat her?"

"Do you know why there are no rabbits north of Zerou City?" Lorenwei asked Kurara with a smile.

Kurara was taken aback, but Sylph asked curiously first, "Why?"

“My home is in the north of Zerou City,” Lorenwei said proudly.

“But we need to catch rabbits as a team now,” Kurara reminded them. “The Firehorn Three-Eyed Rabbit has some attack power.”

Sylph took off her golden bow and assessed whether she could hit the target with a single shot.

"But they're still rabbits. Don't worry, if I wasn't afraid of disrupting the ecological balance, I would have wiped out all the rabbits near Zerou City long ago." Lorenwei began to describe her rabbit-catching plan: "...In this way, after a large number of rabbits are brought over, I use the binding magic to bind them, and then Kula uses Knight's Shield Bash to stun them. Then the Knight's Charge skill deals AOE damage, and I also deal magic damage at the same time. Sylph's bow and arrow clear out any that are missed."

Kurara carefully considered how much damage her two skill proficiency levels could inflict.

"But how do you get so many rabbits to gather together?" Siruf asked.

Then, Lorenwei looked at Kurara, seemingly sizing her up, "First, we need a female rabbit."

"Pah, what are you thinking? Stop thinking about it." Kurara immediately refused.

“I’m going to wear this…” Lorenwei rummaged through her spatial ring and quickly found a cosplay outfit.

This was an impressive piece of clothing she had seen while rummaging through her rings when she was bored.

The white, fluffy bodysuit is exquisitely crafted to replicate the feel of natural rabbit fur, featuring prominent, artificial rabbit ears and an adorable, small, ball-shaped rabbit tail...

“This…” Kurara instinctively took it, examining it with embarrassment, “How did you get this?”

Lorenwei habitually shifted the blame: "Maybe my dad just wanted to buy it for my mom? He likes to play around with fancy clothes!"

"..." Kurara and Sylph both blushed, and they both touched the rabbit costume a few times.

Lorenwei then pulled out a scroll and a small bottle of black and white powder: "Add to that the charm magic scroll I prepared beforehand, and a little bit of [Follow the Rabbit] lure that's very effective on mammals..."

Kurara was embarrassed: "Where did you get this kind of thing?"

“Life in the suburbs of Zerou is so boring, I’m living off these kinds of things,” Lorenwei said, then rummaged through her ring again. “How about we switch to the [Male Rabbit Exhaustion] potion?”

Kurara blushed and exclaimed, "Girls shouldn't buy this kind of thing!"

Seeing that she was angry, Lorenwei quickly changed the subject, holding up the rabbit cosplay outfit to Kula: "I think the only problem is that you might not be able to fit into it because you have big breasts, so put it on quickly!"
