Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

"Mother!" Xiaoxing called out subconsciously, her heart aching as if something was tearing at it.

What she least wanted to see still happened.

Asuna ran up to Sachi, panting heavily.

As she approached the two, she noticed the dimensional barrier not far away and realized something.

Asuna didn't call out anxiously like before, but her voice trembled slightly: "Sachi, are you leaving?"

Seeing Asuna's red-rimmed eyes, Xiaoxing couldn't hold back any longer and gently nodded, "Mmm..."

"I see." Asuna forced a smile, but tears still welled up in her eyes: "I was looking forward to the day when Sachi would regain her memories, but I never expected... that day to be so close."

Sachi reached out to wipe away Asuna's tears, but Asuna hugged her instead.

Asuna's embrace was warm, like a blanket that had been sun-dried, making her nose sting with tears: "Mother, I'm sorry."

"Sachi doesn't need to apologize." Asuna gently shook her head.

Contrary to Xiaoxing's expectations, after the two met, her mother did not sadly beg her to stay.

Asuna simply whispered on her forehead, "When you get back, take good care of yourself. Even if the food isn't good, don't go hungry. Remember to shower every day, and make more friends..."

Her voice was so gentle, like she was coaxing a child, and Xiaoxing remembered it all.

Asuna kept giving instructions, just like any mother saying goodbye to her child, repeating everything she could think of.

Kirito stood to the side, saying nothing, simply watching them quietly.

When Asuna let go, Xiaoxing wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "Mother, I remember."

Then she went to Kirito and gave her father a big hug as well.

Kirito felt he should take this opportunity to say something, just like Asuna did.

So he took the opportunity to remind you: "You must remember everything your master teaches you."

Xiaoxing nodded in her arms: "Mmm!"

Then Kirito continued, "And Master's 'black fashion sense' must be inherited!"

Xiaoxing was about to say "hmm" again, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt something was wrong.

So the words that were about to come out were: "Hmm?"

Then, Asuna simply covered his mouth with her hand: "Don't worry about this little bit of luck!"

A poignant farewell was transformed by just one sentence.

Xiaoxing chuckled, but still nodded emphatically: "I'll remember!"

Asuna exclaimed in a panic, "You really don't need to remember that!"

Xiaoxing understood that her father said those things to prevent the farewell from becoming too sad.

Ultimately, my father did it all for me...

Then Kirito became serious: "As long as Sachi still considers us her parents, this will always be your home."

Asuna wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, no longer sad, and faced herself with a smile: "Sachi, take care!"

Xiaoxing nodded emphatically: "I will!"

After saying that, she came to the dimensional wall.

Now, the moment you step inside, you have to say goodbye to this place.

Just then, her mother's voice came from behind again: "Xiao Xing... still don't know your real name?"

Yes, I didn't have the chance to share my information during the period of memory loss.

So she took a deep breath and silently said, "Burst Out."

A flash of white light, and her body gradually shrank, returning to the appearance of someone around ten years old.

That was how she originally looked, just as she looked when we first met.

Sachi turned around and looked at Kirito and Asuna: "Kuroyuki, my name is Kuroyuki."

Asuna silently memorized the name: "Kuroyuki, what a nice name."

Just then, Kirito threw an item, which Kuroyuki caught steadily in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, it was an object shaped like a mobile phone.

Then came Kirito's words, which sounded less like a farewell and more like encouragement: "Go, and... you can come back anytime!"

She looked at Kirito and Asuna, and waved vigorously: "Goodbye... Father, Mother."

After saying that, she turned around and stepped into the dimensional barrier, her figure quickly disappearing into the blurry wall.

Asuna looked at the empty forest, tears welled up in her eyes again.

She leaned against the arm beside her: "Do you think Hei Xue will come back?"

Kirito gently put his arm around her shoulder and said tenderly, "Don't be sad, she will come back. After all, Kuroyuki is our daughter!"

......

Two days have passed since Kuroyuki left, and Kirito and Asuna's lives are gradually returning to normal.

Without the busyness of accompanying Xiaoxing to training in the early morning, and without the anticipation of waiting for her to return from the training field in the evening, life in the wooden house seems to have returned to its original state.

When they log into SAO, the two of them will accompany Yui for a walk in the forest or go to a nearby town to buy ingredients.

After exiting the game, I returned to school in the real world and lived my daily life of attending classes, taking lunch breaks, and going home.

I originally thought that after Kuroyuki left, we wouldn't see each other again for a while.

Asuna never expected that she would see 'Kuroyuki' again after a short separation.

During lunch break that day, Asuna carried her lunchbox and walked along the corridor of the teaching building towards the rooftop.

This is the place where she and Kirito agreed to have lunch together.

The sounds of classmates laughing and playing filled the air; everything was peaceful as usual.

As I passed the stairwell, a familiar figure walked by.

With short, golden hair and a black school uniform, it was Kirito's good friend, Eugeo.

Asuna wanted to greet him with a smile, but just as she was about to speak, she realized that Eugeo hadn't even noticed her.

Eugeo lowered his head, staring intently at the screen of his phone, earphones in his ears, and an undisguised smile on his lips.

Out of curiosity, she glanced at Eugeo's phone screen without thinking.

"what?!"

But that one glance made her freeze instantly, and she almost dropped the lunchbox in her hand.

A video is playing on the screen, showing a young girl singing happily.

Judging from Eugeo's expression alone, the girl's singing voice should be quite good.

But that's not the point. The important thing is the girl's face!

Asuna recognized her at a glance—it was 'Kuroyuki'! It was 'Kuroyuki' who had been away from them for two days!

Exactly the same, it's me!

"Um... Eugeo, please wait a moment!" Asuna reached out to stop him.

Eugeo had just taken off one earphone when he paused for a moment, then smiled sheepishly: "Sorry, Yuuki-kun, I didn't notice it was you. Is there something you need?"

Asuna pointed at the girl on the screen: "Please tell me in detail about her!"
