Chapter 41: A Mom Who Doesn't Look Good Without Dad

  Thanks for the reward from "Abyssal Cross" and "Flandre Scarlet"!

  Ayase's voice seemed louder, startling Yui who shrank her neck and squeezed into Yakumo's chest.

  Stroking the small head of Yui, Asuna revealed an expression as cute as a kitten, and Hachiman Moku looked at her who walked in front of him and sat down on the opposite side, giving her a glance and saying: "Be quieter, you scared Yui."

  "Yui?" Asuna looked at Yui, her beautiful eyes blinking, puffing out her cheeks and humming: "Is this her name? Who is she anyway?"

  Baiyun Mo looked at Aisena's puffed up appearance and a string of question marks appeared on his head.

  What's wrong with Asuna today? Why did she react so strongly when she saw Kirito?

  "This little thing was found by me in the forest, when I met her, she fainted alone in the forest."

  Fainted in the forest?

  As soon as Asuna heard Yui's words, she took a good look at Yuuki.

  This is really a very cute little girl, looking at Yui's shy expression, Asuna also felt a bit of pity in her heart, but seeing her shrink into Yakumo Suke's arms, her small hands still tightly grasping his hem, Asuna's heart suddenly felt an inexplicable discomfort.

  "Why did she call you Daddy? Where are her parents?" Yasnaya asked the crucial question.

  Yayumi Moku affectionately pinched Kiyoi's small nose and shook his head, saying: "This little guy seems to have lost her memory. Except for knowing that her name is Kiyoi, she doesn't remember anything else. And when she woke up and saw me for the first time, she directly called me 'Dad', so I just adopted this daughter!"

  So that's how it is!

  Asuna's uncomfortable feeling in her heart had just dissipated a bit, and her gaze at Kusunoki also softened.

  Asana stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Yui's head. The little girl seemed to still be a bit resistant and hid in Yakumo Suke's arms.

  Watching Asuna's embarrassed expression, Yui Moku bowed her head and said to Yui in a gentle voice: "Yui, Asuna isn't a bad person, you know?"

  Auntie!?

  Asuna's eyes twitched slightly, was she really that old!? Strictly speaking, she was only seventeen years old now!!

  Asuna really wanted to shout at Yachiru "What kind of mentality is it to make a 10-year-old loli call herself an auntie when she's actually a 17-year-old girl?", but then she thought about how Konoe called Yachiru "Dad", and if that was the case, then maybe the little brat really could call her "Auntie"?

  How can it be repaired? It always feels like there's a lingering sense of regret...

  Yui, under Hachimitsu's consolation, looked at Asuna with a few less guarded eyes. Asuna saw this and slowly placed her hand on Yui's head, gently stroking it.

  The little guy closed his eyes and savored the moment, causing Yún Mò and Aisina to exchange a smile.

  "Hey, Yui, call someone!"

  Yui looked at Asuna and muttered vaguely: "Asuna... Ari..."

  Baiyun Mo was taken aback at once.

  "Ah, Xi, Si, Na, A, Yi!"

  "IAS has come to Ali..."

  Baiyun Mo suddenly felt his heart was very tired, why could Jie Yi shout "Dad" so clearly, and earlier when playing with him, he spoke very clearly too, but when it came to calling people, it seemed a bit difficult?

  Asuna also looked at Yui with a helpless expression, thought for a moment, and said to Yuuki: "Yuuki, just call her whatever is convenient."

  Asuna still subconsciously hoped that Kirito would call her "sister"...

  But unexpectedly, the little girl looked at Asuna and then at Yui Kirito, opening her mouth to shout: "Mom!"

  "Hmmph!"

  Yakumo Mokuto, who was drinking red tea, suddenly couldn't hold back and sprayed the red tea directly onto Asuna's face!

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  Asuna let out a shriek and hastily pulled out a towel from her inventory to wipe her moist cheeks.

  Said why is there always a towel in your equipment list?

  After wiping herself clean, Asuna glared at Yui Kirito with a fierce gaze, and then her entire small face turned red again, the flush even spreading to her neck.

  Yui just called Yakumo Mukuro dad a moment ago, and now she's calling herself mom...

  The girl's mind was suddenly confused.

  What made Asuna feel most ashamed was that she actually felt a little happy!？

  How shameless! How indecent!

  "Dad! Mom!"

  Koromo this little guy at this time even more energetic, one hand pointing at Yagumo Taku and the other hand pointing at Asuna, shouting non-stop.

  Baiyun Mo looked at Asuna with some embarrassment, and then lightly knocked on the head of Jie Yi, finally making the little girl stop.

  "Don't mind the little guy, he's just messing around..."

  Yakumo Moku looked at Asuna, whose neck and ears were all red with embarrassment, and said with a dry laugh.

  Ayase first shook her head, then quickly glanced at Yakumo Sumeragi and stretched out both hands towards Yui, saying: "Come on, Yui, let Mommy give you a hug!"

  Actually admitted it!

  Yakumo Moku stared at Asuna, who was looking down at her feet, her eyes not meeting his at all. Yet somehow, Yakumo Moku seemed to see a faint mist of embarrassment rising from the top of Asuna's head.

  With a hint of indescribable joy, Yasnaya carefully picked up Xiaotou and held her in her arms after getting Jingyi's consent.

  The soft and delicate touch of the little loli, along with her petite body, filled Asuna with a strong sense of maternal affection. The sweet and tender voice calling out "mommy" completely awakened the maternal instincts within the girl's heart.

  Kazuki looked up at Asuna with her small head tilted, and then suddenly said something that made Yui almost spit out the red tea again.

  "Mom is more handsome than Dad..."

  Xiao Yatou's expression was extremely serious, but Ba Yunmo felt like his stomach was going to ache from laughing!

  Ayase was struck as if by lightning and stood there speechless for a long time.

  "Yī Yī, why do you say that Daddy and Mommy are competing to see who's more handsome?" Yaxin frowned at her daughter in her arms, trying to correct her point of view. "You can't describe Daddy as handsome, got it?"

  "But, Dad is actually better-looking than Mom..."

  Asuna thoroughly retreated.

  Yayoi Moku gazed at Asuna and Kusunoki, who were chatting with each other, slightly dazing off.

  I am the father, Asuna is the mother, and Yui is the daughter...

  Kirito, rest in peace...

  Shaking his head, Hachiku Moku fiercely shook off the unnecessary thoughts in his mind and looked at Koganei who was yawning in Asuna's arms after getting too excited from playing earlier. He said softly, "Let her sleep in the bedroom for a while."

  Ayase nodded and immediately got up, hugging Kechiru as she headed towards the backyard.

  When Asuna returned to the front hall again, her face showed a mixture of shyness and seriousness.

  "You've noticed it too." Asuna said, sitting in front of Yui's avatar, "Kazuto is acting a bit strange."

  "It's a bit strange, there are no player markers, nor monster markers, nor any NPCs that can trigger hidden quests."

  "Asuna furrowed her brow and said: 'The fact that she can enter the player's house smoothly indicates that it's not an NPC, but why doesn't she have a monster or player marker?'"

  "It's probably a bug..." Ba Yun Mo said in a sentence, but he himself also knew how unbelievable this reason was.

  Although it's hard to admit, SAO has indeed done an extremely perfect job. Under the all-around control of intelligent AI, this game can hardly find any bugs or imbalances.

  Of course, except for people like Yakumo Suke who have jumped out of the system's restrictions to a certain extent due to some reasons.

  "Why is such a young girl appearing in this game...?" Asuna thought of Yui's cute and lovely appearance, her heart aching as she looked at Kirito's expression with some expectation, "Umm, how about we adopt her until we find her parents?"

  "Alright, it just so happens that I met Mouse Sister recently, I can go ask her if she has any news about Yui's parents." Although he said this, Yakumo Mukuro was very clear that even if Algo was incredibly omniscient, it would still be impossible to find out anything about Yui.

  Yatsume Himeko called Argo Musume "Argo-neesan", and similarly, Asuna couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Yasuna, who had slightly improved her mood, suddenly thought of something and looked at Yakumo Moku, saying: "Right, after a while, I have a friend who plans to open a weapon shop on the 48th floor. Let's go congratulate him together then!"

  Eight clouds inked eyebrows rose slightly.

  Asuna's friend who runs a weapon shop on the 48th floor is Lisbeth.

  This girl who excels at forging weapons, in the original work, after going on an adventure with Kirito, fell in love with him, but didn't confess due to her good friend Asuna.

  Thinking of Lisbeth, Yakumo Saku suddenly had an idea.

  Kirito-kun, without Asuna and Yui, you still have Lisbeth's sharp tongue!

  This is called losing in the east and gaining in the west!

  At that moment, Bachiroku Moku felt his dignity was so full it could burst through the sky!
