Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Kirito, who was standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the harmonious scene between mother and daughter.

The murderous aura Asuna just released almost killed him.

Fortunately, Yui was there, which allowed him to escape unscathed.

Seeing the two of them so happy, Kirito couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

But as he was laughing, Kirito suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something important.

Looking around the wooden house, my gaze finally landed on the sofa opposite the 'mother and daughter'.

The unknown girl had woken up sometime earlier and was rubbing her eyes as she slowly sat up, looking around in a daze.

"Ah, he's awake!" Kirito quickly reminded him.

Yui also stopped eating cookies and turned her head with Asuna.

All three eyes fell on the girl who had just woken up, and the air instantly fell silent, with only the girl's slightly confused breathing remaining.

The girl looked at the unfamiliar wooden house and the three unfamiliar people in front of her, and asked softly, her voice hoarse from just waking up, "Where is this?"

Seeing this, Asuna first placed Yui on the sofa beside her, then stood up and softened her tone: "This is our home. We found you unconscious in the forest and brought you back. How are you? Is anything bothering you?"

The girl gently shook her head: "No, it doesn't hurt."

"That's great." Asuna breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on her face.

At that moment, Kirito stepped forward: "Do you remember why you collapsed alone in the forest? Did any family or friends come with you?"

His question was direct, yet also cautious.

Upon hearing this, the girl frowned slightly and began to try to recall.

But as soon as I touched that vague memory, it felt like my head had been hit hard by something, and a sharp pain instantly shot through me.

"Hiss!" She suddenly gasped, clutching her head tightly with both hands, her face turning deathly pale.

"What's wrong?!" Asuna exclaimed, rushing forward to help her.

Yui jumped off the sofa and looked at the girl with concern.

Kirito immediately reached out and gently pressed his hand on the girl's shoulder, his voice even softer: "Relax, don't be nervous. Don't dwell on the past. Take it slow, there's no rush..."

Perhaps it was Kirito's voice that had a soothing power, but the girl's tense body gradually relaxed, and the pain on her face slowly faded away.

She lowered her hand from her head, her voice tinged with grievance: "I...I can't remember anything, I can't remember anything at all..."

Upon hearing this, Asuna's heart tightened, and she quickly turned to look at Kirito: "Could this be...?"

Kirito nodded: "It should be right. It's most likely intermittent amnesia. He probably suffered a severe blow to the head, which temporarily blocked his memories."

This explains why the girl collapsed alone in the forest.

Just then, Yui's eyes flickered slightly, as if she were retrieving data: "According to the system detection, her identity does not belong to the SAO player group."

Kirito paused for a moment, then crossed his arms and fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, "Is this the choice of Steins;Gate, or are Stand users attracted to each other?"

Asuna was completely confused by what she heard.

What is this all about?

Ignoring Kirito's strange remarks, Asuna turned her attention back to the girl.

This girl, who was only eight or nine years old, had a look of confusion and pain in her eyes that was beyond her years.

This made Asuna very distressed.

It would be too dangerous to let such a young child, who has lost her memory and is all alone, go back to the dangerous forest.

So she reached out and gently pulled the girl into her arms, stroking her hair tenderly with one hand, and softly comforted her, "It's okay, you don't have to force yourself if you can't remember. You can stay at our house for a while, and we'll make plans when you remember, okay?"

Yui immediately stepped forward, holding up the cookie she hadn't finished eating, and excitedly chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, let's stay here! Mama's cookies are so delicious!"

Kirito added with a smile, "Yui is right, but Asuna is not only good at making cookies, but also excels in all kinds of other dishes."

"Really?" Yui's eyes lit up, her face full of anticipation.

Kirito nodded: "Really, I'm the most qualified to say that!"

Amidst their banter, Kirito and Asuna once again turned their gaze to the girl.

Kirito asked softly, "What's your decision? How about staying here until your memories return?"

Asuna gently asked, "We won't mind at all. Just treat this place as your home."

Looking at the three enthusiastic people in front of her, the girl suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Although she couldn't remember anything, a voice in her subconscious seemed to be telling her that she also had a family, perhaps as warm and loving as the one before her.

So she looked at Kirito and Asuna, and subconsciously mimicked Yui's tone, softly asking, "Dad... and Mom?"

"Ugh—" Asuna blushed slightly upon hearing the address, feeling somewhat embarrassed: "You're calling me that right from the start?"

Seeing this, Kirito couldn't help but laugh: "Looks like she's agreed to live here. And Asuna, congratulations, you've suddenly become a mother of two daughters."

"You're so annoying!" Asuna said coquettishly, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

Actually, I didn't dislike the nickname at all; on the contrary, I felt a sweet flutter in my heart.

The girl noticed that her mother seemed a little uncomfortable with the way she had been addressed, and her eyes flickered slightly.

She opened her mouth, this time addressing him with the instinct of her body: "Then Father... Mother?"

Even Kirito was a little embarrassed this time: "Isn't this... a bit too formal?"

What kind of family would raise a child to address their parents in this way?

As if in response to her earlier teasing, Asuna looked at Kirito with a half-smile: "Isn't it great? It's just a form of address anyway?"

...That seems to be true.

Asuna gently patted the girl's head and said with a smile, "Alright, you can call me whatever you want from now on. By the way, are you hungry? I have some snacks here!"

As she spoke, she took out cookies, potato chips, juice... from her backpack.

While showing love and care for the child, she also reminded him, "But don't eat too much, we'll be having dinner together soon!"

Kirito watched from the side and couldn't help but mutter to himself: This is only the first time he's raised a daughter, how come he's so skilled?
