Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Lying on the bed, Kirito couldn't help but tease, "Yeah, aren't you coming?"

"Ugh, really!" Asuna finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Why is Kirito able to lie in bed so casually?!"

Just a couple of days ago, she was able to comfortably share a bed with everyone, but that was based on the fact that Xiaoxing was still a child.

But now?

She looked at the girl on the bed, whose figure was almost the same as hers, wearing black pajamas.

At that moment, Xiaoxing reached out and lifted a corner of the bed sheet, extending an invitation to herself with her clear eyes.

This scene feels strange; it has a criminal vibe...

Kirito was amused by Asuna's reaction and realized the problem.

So he suggested, "How about this, you take care of Yui tonight, and I'll sleep with Sachi?"

"Yay!" Yui exclaimed excitedly. "I'm sleeping with Mama tonight!"

If it's Yui, that's fine...

That's terrible!

The four-person bed always had two adults surrounding the two children in the middle.

If I sleep on one side with Yui, then wouldn't Sachi have to sleep alone on the other side with Kirito?

"No! Absolutely not!"

Asuna quickly waved her hand in rebuttal: "How could you have such a thought?!"

Kirito looked completely innocent: "What did I do wrong?!"

Asuna blushed instantly when asked that question.

eh?

Could it be that Kirito can still treat Sachi as a child, and only he himself is confused?

Am I the only one who's thinking the wrong thing?

At this moment, Xiaoxing quietly raised her hand and whispered, "Actually, I don't mind... I can sleep with Father or Mother, it's fine."

Hearing this, Asuna coughed twice, forcibly suppressing her emotions: "I think it's fine to sleep as usual..."

We can't let Kirito eat and take things at the same time, can we?

I'm still right here with you!

After saying that, she quickly walked to the bedside and carefully squeezed next to Xiaoxing.

Fortunately, the double bed was wide enough that it wasn't too crowded for four people to squeeze together.

Feeling the warmth around her, Xiaoxing immediately snuggled happily into Asuna's arms.

Ultimately, she has only grown physically; mentally, she is only nine years old.

......

The next morning.

The four sat around the dining table, enjoying the breakfast prepared by Asuna.

Golden fried eggs, crispy bacon, and warm milk—simple yet full of homely charm.

Afterwards, Kirito took Sachi and the two of them arrived at a place in the meadow near the edge of the forest.

Kirito's expression turned serious: "It seems that yesterday's anomaly didn't affect you. In that case, let's continue training."

Xiaoxing nodded seriously: "So what kind of training will we have today?"

"Don't rush, there are two reasons why I chose this place." Kirito interrupted her, pointing to a patch of dense grass not far away: "First, Asuna and I found you there. Take a close look at your surroundings, you might be able to recall some fragments of your memories."

Sachi looked in the direction Kirito pointed.

"So this is where I am..." she murmured softly, her gaze sweeping carefully over her surroundings.

But in the end, she shook her head helplessly, her tone tinged with disappointment: "But I still can't remember anything."

"It's alright, the recovery of memories can't be rushed." Kirito patted her shoulder. "As for the second point, because this place is close to the forest, there are often wild monsters around, which is very suitable for practical training."

Xiaoxing's eyes lit up, and she tightened her grip on the sword hilt.

Kirito observed the other person's reaction and continued, "The reaction speed and combat talent you displayed yesterday would be a waste if you only practiced basic movements. Real combat can improve your skills and accumulate experience much faster."

"I understand! I'll do my best!" Xiaoxing's eyes were firm, and she was ready for the battle.

Seeing this, Kirito turned and walked towards the forest, saying, "Wait here for me, I'll be right back."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure shot into the forest at an incredible speed, leaving only a faint afterimage.

Xiaoxing's eyes widened slightly: "So fast..."

She thought she already had a certain understanding of her father's strength, but the speed he displayed just now far exceeded her expectations.

Her admiration for Kirito grew even stronger.

Meanwhile, in the forest, Kirito was moving swiftly among the trees, his sharp eyes searching for any trace of wild monsters.

He bent down, picked up the stone, and aimed it precisely at the monster.

The first one was a natural pumpkin; the second one was a natural fly; the third one was a natural bamboo shoot...

In just three minutes, Kirito reappeared in front of Sachi: "You're here. Now it's your turn. Let me see your true strength!"

Soon, five monsters rushed out one after another, baring their fangs and claws, looking fierce and menacing.

Surrounded by five monsters, Xiaoxing remained calm. She took a deep breath and moved nimbly.

It skillfully avoided the collision and dodged the dive by turning sideways.

While dodging attacks, she also seized opportunities to launch counterattacks.

The overall movements were fluid and effortless.

Kirito stood to the side, carefully observing Sachi's fighting style, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Xiaoxing's fighting style is completely different from his.

His style is more aggressive; when he encounters an enemy, he will seize one and beat it to death, using stronger attacks to suppress the opponent.

Xiaoxing, on the other hand, focuses more on skill and timing. She doesn't forcefully confront attacks, but always manages to deliver a fatal blow at the most opportune moment, which is both effortless and efficient.

Is this a path that has been forged on its own, or a memory of bodily instinct?

But no matter what, Xiaoxing is still his disciple.

Not long after, Xiaoxing finished the battle.

She turned and swung her longsword. The five monsters behind her let out a scream at the same time, turning into data fragments and dissipating into the air.

Kirito stepped forward and praised him generously: "Not bad, your combat awareness and skills are excellent. As long as you practice diligently, I believe you will soon be able to stand on your own."

Hearing Kirito's praise, Sachi didn't show a happy expression. Instead, she hesitated and seemed to be struggling with something.

Kirito noticed her unusual behavior and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? If you have something on your mind, just say it."

Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up her courage, raised her head, and looked at Kirito with a determined gaze: "Father, I...I would like to ask you to teach me dual-wielding swordsmanship!"

She didn't even address him as 'Master' during training.

"You want to learn... dual swordsmanship?" Kirito was taken aback, his face full of doubt.

In his memory, it seems that Kuroyukihime had a master named 'Graphite Edge'.

That was a guy who was also black, used dual swords in combat, and had an inexplicable relationship with 'Kirigaya Kazuto'.

But now... Sachi actually wants to learn dual swordsmanship from me?

How to do?

To agree or not to agree?

Kirito hesitated for only a second before answering the question.

The person in front of me is both my daughter and my disciple. If I don't teach her, who will?

Graphite Edge, this is none of your business.jpg
