Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Remember in the last video, Ms. Kiriko was a lively girl with a light and cheerful rhythm. Her turns and jumps were so cute that they made people's hearts flutter.

But this time, she seemed like a completely different person.

The movements have fewer fancy techniques and more crisp, powerful movements;

The playful smile was gone from his expression, replaced by a calm and composed demeanor.

“A sense of destiny…” the Age of Miracles murmured to themselves.

He subconsciously opened the group chat, and the screen was instantly flooded with messages, almost every one of which struck a chord with him:

[Who understands! Last time, Kirito was so cute I wanted to hug her, this time she's so cool I want to kneel down and shout "Sister, I'm in!"]

[I'm starting to question the existence of reality because the idol I admire is more handsome than me, a guy...]

【Miss Kiriko, we love you so much!】

[Let me tell you something you might not know.]

The Age of Miracles has turned its attention back to the girl in the video. Such a perfect girl, it's unimaginable how many more surprises she will bring us in the future!

Oh, I almost forgot to notify the other support groups.

......

At this moment, the instigator of this 'surprise'—Ms. Kiriko—is being half-pulled and half-dragged down onto the living room sofa by Asuna.

Their shoulders were almost touching, and an awkwardness filled the air that made Kiriko feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Can't I not look?" Kiriko shrugged, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.

Asuna's expression was extremely serious: "Of course not! Or... do you want to switch back to Kirito's form and watch with me?"

"No, no, no! It's fine as it is!" Kiriko quickly shook her head.

Just imagining himself as Kirito, looking at himself in women's clothing on the screen, made him feel shudder. The scene was like a public execution.

In comparison, viewing it in Kiriko's form at least slightly reduces the sense of embarrassment... though not by much.

As she spoke, Asuna tapped the screen and projected it between the two of them. The video showed Kirito's latest heroic figure.

As the video played in front of them, Kiriko's figure was continuously displayed.

The image of Miss Kiriko walking alone in the desolate Gobi Desert;

Miss Kiriko swung her lightsaber, a purple light slicing through the darkness; then she raised her pistol, aiming the muzzle at a distant enemy;

Then the scene shifts, and she weaves through a horde of monsters. A flash of purple blade light, and the monsters are defeated, leaving only a dashing figure in flowing black robes.

Finally, the girl turned around and looked gently into the eyes of the audience.

Asuna couldn't help but take a soft breath, her voice tinged with excitement: "So cool!"

"Is that so?" Kiriko scratched her head awkwardly, but a subtle sense of accomplishment welled up inside her.

Although the process was embarrassing, seeing that Asuna liked it, it didn't seem so unacceptable?

"You can make such a great video in just three days! You're practically a chosen idol!" Asuna suddenly grabbed Kirito's hands, her eyes sparkling. "By the way! Give me your autograph!"

"Huh?" Kiriko was stunned.

Asuna had already taken out paper and pen from her backpack and handed them to Kirito.

Kiriko looked puzzled: "We're already together, why do you still want my autograph?"

Asuna shook her finger and smiled mysteriously: "You don't understand. I don't just collect autographs for my collection."

"What's it used for?"

"Of course, it's to show off to others!" Asuna said matter-of-factly. "When others are also fans of Kirito, and I can pull out Kirito's autograph, just imagine what that would be like?"

I get it, so he was trying to play dumb to fool the enemy.

Kiriko looked at her expectant eyes and sighed helplessly.

When did one's own signature become something to brag about?

But he still took the pen and wrote the two characters 'Tongzi' on the paper, stroke by stroke. His handwriting was neat and tidy, just like the calm and handsome girl in the video.

Asuna took the autograph, carefully put it away in her backpack.

Her smile was like she'd just received a limited-edition item; she was the epitome of a devoted fangirl.

Just then, the window in front of them suddenly shook.

Asuna went to check and saw someone tagging "Miss Kirito, my wife" in the 'Miss Kirito's Backyard Group 16'.

"Find me?"

But I know other people in the group besides Kirito, so why would someone send me a message?

Despite her doubts, Asuna clicked on the link, and Kirito curiously followed suit.

The next second, a golden light suddenly burst out from the window, the dazzling light causing both of them to squint.

"So dazzling..."

As the light faded, a golden system notification appeared before our eyes:

[Congratulations! The "Ms. Kirito, my wife" badge has been upgraded from bronze to gold!]

"Ah..." Asuna stared at her golden mark for two seconds, stunned.

"Ah..." Kiriko looked shocked and then asked, "What is this?"

Asuna looked at Kirito's scrutinizing gaze and gave a slightly guilty smile: "N-nothing, it's just that I accidentally mentioned the video's release time in the group chat before, and I didn't expect my contribution points to increase so quickly, so... so I became a Gold Member."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted away, avoiding looking directly into Kiriko's eyes.

"Was it really an accident?" Kiriko raised an eyebrow, her tone tinged with doubt.

She knows Asuna too well, and how could she be so careless about something like this?

Asuna's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly changed the subject: "Well, that kind of little thing isn't important! I'm sure that as long as Kirito reveals his identity in the group, even diamonds will be a piece of cake."

This is true.

If those fans knew that the idol they were constantly watching and frantically chasing was actually lurking in their own fan club group, wouldn't they immediately give up their diamond badges and group admin positions?

But this kind of spotlight was never what Kirito wanted.

She immediately frowned: "How could I possibly expose my identity over such a trivial matter?!"

Asuna remained silent.

Then, Kirito suddenly pointed a finger at Asuna's still-open group chat window: "And... what does this mean?"

Asuna followed the tip of her finger.

On the screen, her group ID, 'Miss Kirito, my wife,' was prominently displayed!

At this moment, their identities seemed to have been reversed.

Asuna's cheeks flushed red, and she hurriedly waved her hands, her voice trembling with panic: "This...this is just based on the atmosphere in the group! You see, everyone in the group calls me that, so I just followed suit. There's absolutely no other meaning behind it!"

Surprisingly, the other party actually believed it.

Kirito nodded: "No wonder. I was wondering why Asuna would choose such a bad ID. It turns out those people in the group are doing her a disservice. Asuna, don't let them lead you astray in the future."

Asuna felt ashamed: I'm sorry for letting you down. That's just who I am...
