Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Kirito carried the unconscious little girl on his back, and the two quickly walked through the natural forest, soon returning to the wooden house by the lake.

After opening the door, I gently laid the girl flat on the soft sofa in the living room.

Asuna immediately squatted down next to the sofa and carefully checked the girl's condition.

The girl's forehead temperature was normal, with no signs of fever; her wrists and ankles were also examined to confirm there were no wounds.

"Phew~ There are no wounds on him, he must have just passed out." Asuna breathed a sigh of relief, but her doubts deepened: "I really don't know why such a young child would be alone in the forest?"

Kirito was just as curious about this.

He looked at the girl on the sofa.

With long black hair and delicate features, she wore only a pure white dress and looked to be about 8 or 9 years old.

“That’s really strange.” Kirito frowned. “How could such a young child log onto SAO alone, make his way to the highest level that’s currently open, and even venture into the dangerous depths of the forest? It’s too unrealistic.”

As he spoke, Kirito suddenly fell into deep thought.

The original plot of SAO flashed through his mind.

In the original story, Kirito and Asuna also found a girl named 'Yui' in the forest, and later learned that she was an artificial intelligence responsible for managing the players' mental state.

But the situation is different now. He already has Yui by his side, and Yui has already taken over the affairs of SAO. Where would another one appear?

Besides, how could Yui Kirito possibly admit his mistake?

He looked at the girl on the sofa again: the same long black hair, the same white dress... wow!

They do look somewhat similar?

Kirito felt increasingly confused as he looked at it, and after hesitating for a long time, he decided to verify it.

So he looked up and softly called out to the air, "Yui~"

Asuna looked at Kirito with a puzzled expression and muttered to herself.

Before she could react, particles suddenly began to gather in the air in front of Kirito, and then transformed into a small sprite the size of a palm with transparent wings, which fluttered its wings and landed in front of Kirito.

"Kirito... this is...?" Asuna's eyes widened in surprise.

She had never seen such a creature before. It was neither a monster nor a player, but radiated a soft light and was so cute that it was impossible to look away.

"She's the AI ​​that manages SAO, and her name is Yui," Kirito explained with a smile, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Asuna's eyes lit up: "Wow~ So cute!"

Upon hearing the praise, Yui immediately smiled happily.

Laughing "Hehehe~", it flapped its wings and flew around Asuna twice before obediently returning to Kirito's side.

Yui asked in a sweet voice, "What did Papa want to see me about this time?"

"It's like this..." Kirito was about to tell about the girl on the sofa when he suddenly felt a cold gaze fall on him.

That gaze was filled with deep resentment, and even a sense of oppression.

He stiffly turned his head and, sure enough, saw Asuna looking at him with a 'smiling' expression, her tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable pressure: "Kirito~ Do you have a special fetish for having others call you 'papa' or something?"

"Ah, no..." Kirito broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained, "We're just... just like a creator and a creator, so it's normal for her to call me 'papa,' it really doesn't mean anything else!"

Startled by the atmosphere, Yui quickly shrank behind Kirito, her small body trembling, and muttered softly, "Mama is so scary..."

Although the sound was very soft, Asuna could hear it clearly.

Her heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable flutter surged through her.

This child... actually calls himself "mama"?

The oppressive aura emanating from Asuna vanished instantly, replaced by a gentle warmth.

Her gaze towards Yui softened considerably, even her tone became gentler: "What did Yui call me just now? Could you say it again?"

Yui peeked out from behind Kirito and, seeing that Asuna wasn't as scary as before, became a little braver.

She blinked her big eyes and whispered, "Mama?"

This is exactly what I want to hear!

Asuna was instantly charmed.

She quickly sat down on the sofa next to her, patted her thigh with one hand, and took out specially made cookies from her backpack with the other. She gently beckoned to Yui, "Yui, come over here, I'll give you something yummy~"

Kirito watched from the side, facepalming.

This scene looks a bit like a child abduction, doesn't it?

Besides, Yui is an advanced artificial intelligence, how could she be tempted by a cookie?

But before he could even finish his thought, Yui flapped her wings and flew over from behind, excitedly shouting, "Delicious! I want to eat!"

Kirito stared in disbelief: "I...I was tempted..."

Yui landed steadily in Asuna's absolute territory, sat obediently with her hands on her knees, like a well-behaved child waiting to be fed.

Asuna looked at her like this and couldn't help but exclaim "cute" in her heart. She quickly picked up a cookie and carefully handed it to Yui.

The cookie wasn't big for a human, but for Yui in her fairy form, it was like a giant pancake.

"It's okay if you can't finish it all~" Asuna gently reminded her, afraid that Yui would overeat.

"It's okay, I'll finish everything Mama gives me!" Yui said earnestly.

Then, holding the cookies, she ate them in small bites, occasionally making satisfied noises like "So delicious!"

Asuna watched Yui's adorable eating and couldn't resist reaching out to gently ruffle her hair, muttering softly, "She's just a little short; combing her hair might be a bit of a hassle..."

Upon hearing this, Yui stopped chewing, turned around, and gave Asuna a big smile: "No trouble at all~"

As soon as she finished speaking, particles gathered around Yui once again.

Asuna felt the weight on her legs slowly increasing, and the originally small elf was growing larger and larger.

Soon, the particles dissipated, and Yui had shrunk to the size of a ten-year-old girl; her transparent wings had disappeared.

She was still wearing a white dress, sitting obediently on Asuna's lap, with an unfinished cookie in her hand.

The cookie, which was quite large just moments ago, was now devoured by Yui in one bite.

"This...this is?" Asuna was even more surprised, not expecting Yui to be able to transform.

After eating the cookie, Yui realized she was a bit heavy and hurriedly tried to get up: "Sorry, Mama, I'm much heavier than before. I'll get down now, otherwise you'll get tired..."

"No, no, Yui, don't worry about it." Asuna quickly pressed down on Yui's shoulders and pulled her back onto her lap.

Then she took out more cookies from her backpack: "Look, there are still lots of cookies here, keep eating!"

Yui could clearly sense the friendliness and gentleness in Asuna's words.

I always feel that Mama is so gentle...
