Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

With his scheme completely exposed, Kirito decided to stop hiding it: "That's right, it was me. Are you satisfied now?!"

He thought that although it was a little embarrassing to say it, the matter could be put to rest.

Unexpectedly, Asuna tilted her head slightly, her tone somewhat relentless: "Just saying it doesn't count. How can I be sure that Kirito is Kiriko-san?"

What does it mean?

Kirito was completely undecided. Was he being asked to prove that he was living at his own pace?

How could such a thing be possible?

"What...what else do you want?" Kirito completely lost his temper, slumped on the picnic blanket, and looked utterly hopeless.

When you deny it, you get interrogated; when you admit it, you have to prove your identity. What kind of logic is that?

Asuna rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up: "How about we go on a date this weekend?"

"Huh? Why the sudden date?" Kirito looked up abruptly, his face full of confusion.

Asuna's suggestion to go on a date should have been a happy thing, but considering the conversation they had just had, he couldn't help but feel that there was something fishy going on.

An ominous premonition inexplicably rose in my heart.

As expected, Asuna quickly added, "Of course there are conditions... The person I go on a date with has to be 'Kiriko-san'!"

"No! Absolutely not!" Kirito refused without even thinking.

Going on a date with Asuna is tempting, but the thought of going out looking like Kirito makes me want to die!

Seeing this, Asuna slowly moved closer, the two so close they could feel each other's breath.

The faint floral scent wafted from her hair into Kirito's nostrils, carrying a slightly alluring aroma: "Is it really not okay?"

Kirito gritted his teeth and insisted: "No way! Not even with my beauty, I will never back down on matters of principle!"

When Asuna realized that her gentle approach wasn't working, she raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone carrying a hint of threat: "Even if I reveal 'Miss Kiriko's' true identity to the public? Or accidentally mention it to my classmates?"

"Uh..." Kirito felt like his brain had shut down.

Two images flashed through his mind at the same time: one was the scene of Kirito and Asuna on a date; the other was the fact that Kirito's identity had been exposed.

Neither of these two scenes made his scalp tingle, and he didn't want either of them to become reality!

After agonizing for a while, Kirito simply lay down on the ground, turned his head away, and adopted a submissive posture.

He muttered, "Gulp...kill me."

Kirito gave up thinking and gave up resisting.

Asuna's heart softened when she saw his reckless attitude.

Perhaps I've been pushing myself too hard?

But then I think of what Kiriko looks like in the video.

Asuna swallowed hard. She felt a little bad for Kirito, but she really wanted to see it...

Ultimately, the sense of anticipation overcame any pangs of conscience.

If the hard one doesn't work, then use the soft one.

Asuna gently crouched down beside Kirito, her voice soft: "Really, I was just joking. How could I tell someone else such important news?"

Kirito turned his head, his eyes full of doubt: "Really? You're not lying to me?"

"Of course it's true!" Asuna nodded vigorously, her eyes so sincere that no one could doubt it.

Kirito immediately revealed a smug smile.

As expected, my judgment was correct!

Given his relationship with Asuna, if Kirito's identity were exposed, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble and take up their time alone together.

Asuna would never do something so counterproductive!

This is my escape route!

Before he could even gloat for two seconds, Asuna slowly added, "But... Eugeo is Kirito's friend, so he shouldn't count as anyone else, right?"

Kirito's smile froze: "You... what do you want to do?"

Asuna continued, "Although I won't make it public, it should be fine to only tell Eugeo, right?"

Kirito looked as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water from head to toe, his expression changing repeatedly.

Tell Eugeo?

That would be even more terrifying than having a billion strangers know!

If a stranger finds out, he can just avoid them, but Eugeo is his best friend and a true Kirito fan!

He could easily imagine that after Eugeo learned the truth, he would cling to him, crying and begging him to become Kirito so his brother could have some fun (just kidding)...

Just thinking about that scene sent chills down his spine!

No! Absolutely not! That kind of thing must be completely stopped!

Kirito screamed wildly in his heart.

Asuna, suppressing a laugh, watched his expression change drastically. She leaned close to Kirito's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Now, you know what to do, right?"

Kirito lay back down on the ground, his voice full of grievance, and slowly uttered three words: "...You won."

Asuna couldn't help but laugh when she saw him finally give in. She reached out and ruffled his hair, her tone full of affection: "That's more like it."

Finally, Kirito shed a tear, unable to hold back his tears.

......

Weekend at the Kiritani family home.

The morning sunlight peeked through the gaps in the curtains and quietly entered Kirito's bedroom.

At 8:30, Suguha arrived at Kirito's door and knocked: "Onii-chan, are you up yet?"

After a few seconds of silence in the room, a muffled voice came through: "Xiao Zhi, don't worry about me!"

The sound was unusual, as if it were coming from under the covers, but Suguha paid it no mind.

Suguha frowned and looked at the call log in her hand: "But Asuna just called and specifically told you not to forget our agreement today!"

The room fell silent instantly.

Seeing that there was no movement inside for a while, Suguha simply grabbed the doorknob and said, "I'm coming in, Onii-chan!"

"No!" someone inside cried out, but it was too late.

Suguha had already pushed open the door and entered the room.

Kirito's room remained as simple as ever.

The wardrobe against the wall was open, with several school uniforms and casual clothes hanging inside; a game console and a stealth helmet were on the desk, indicating that he had played games last night.

Suguha looked around but couldn't find Kirito.

On the contrary, the center of the bed was bulging, and it was obvious that someone was hiding under the covers.

Suguha walked to the bedside: "Although I don't know what you and Asuna made a promise to, I know that breaking a promise is not a good habit, especially with someone like Asuna."

Then a muffled voice came from under the covers again: "Xiao Zhi only said that because she doesn't know anything!"

Suguha raised an eyebrow: "Then tell me what happened?"

As she spoke, she reached out to lift the blanket.

She wanted to see what her brother was up to.

"No!" The person under the covers hurriedly stopped them.

But Naoya was faster; with a forceful pull, she lifted the blanket.

The next second, Suguha's eyes widened, and she involuntarily let out a "Whoa!"
