Chapter 407: -402- Bring miracle to others

In fact, this matter should have been brought up much earlier.

Being unconscious in the forest, losing her memory, not being able to speak clearly when she woke up—all these factors made Rozen and Asuna guess that Yui had experienced a significant emotional shock.

However, they still hadn't uncovered what exactly had caused this emotional trauma.

Yes, it's not that they didn't know, but rather they intentionally kept it hidden.

This was quite normal.

"Assuming Yui is really an ordinary player and has survived until now, then she must have had companions by her side, right?" Rozen made this conjecture in a hushed tone.

"They could be her real-world parents, or friends she made in this world. In any case, Yui couldn't have been alone."

At least, Rozen couldn't imagine how a girl not even ten years old could survive alone in this world for two whole years. So, if Yui was indeed an ordinary player, she must have had friends, companions, or even family by her side.

But when she was in the forest, it was evident that Yui was alone.

Considering the emotional trauma Yui had suffered, it wasn't difficult to imagine what might have happened.

For example...

"For some reason, Yui followed her companions to the 22nd floor but encountered monsters outside their safe area," Rozen speculated in an observer-like tone.

"Considering Yui's age, it's highly likely that she and her companions had stayed in the Starting Town all along, without any leveling up. Naturally, they couldn't have been a match for the monsters on the 22nd floor."

In such a situation, the outcome were already clear.

Asuna, also a smart person, had surely anticipated this scenario.

In other words...

"Under the attack of the monsters, it's highly possible that all of Yui's companions died. Yui managed to escape on her own, but after losing her important friends and being the only one left, she naturally experienced tremendous grief and despair," Rozen's meaning was already quite clear.

It was because of this that Yui fainted under immense sorrow and despair, her mental state was greatly impacted, and she ultimately lost her memory, unable to speak clearly.

And...

"From Yui calling us 'Papa' and 'Mama' as soon as she woke up, it's evident that Yui has been longing for such a presence," Rozen said, as if choking back his emotions.

"This implies two possibilities."

"Either Yui was trapped alone in this world, missing her real-world parents, and instinctively seeking the presence of her parents."

"Or Yui came to this world with her parents, survived for two years, and the people with Yui who died on the 22nd floor while facing monsters were her parents."

Rozen presented these two possibilities.

However, both possibilities were undoubtedly harsh.

"It's too much," Asuna said in a voice that seemed on the verge of tears. "Either way, it's too much."

Either enduring life without parents, full of confusion and loneliness for two years.

Or witnessing her parents die in front of her, becoming completely alone.

Either way, it was too cruel for a girl not even ten years old.

Of course...

"This is just speculation; perhaps things aren't as dire as we imagine," Rozen's tone started to lighten as he continued, "After all, Yui still holds many mysteries, so it's too early to confirm such guesses."

Isn't it?

All of Rozen's speculations were based on the assumption that Yui was an ordinary player.

However, was Yui really an ordinary player?

Clearly not.

"Without a cursor, and with a main menu so different from the players, Yui's definitely hiding something beyond even my imagination. The situation is surely not that simple," Rozen told Asuna frankly. "I've already asked Argo to investigate Yui's identity. If Yui did spend time with her parents or companions in the Starting Town, Argo should be able to gather information about it. We'll have the truth soon enough."

Hearing this, Asuna finally set aside some of her inner grief.

"So you've already done something like that?" Asuna looked at Rozen, a smile finally returning to her face. "You really live up to your reputation. You've always been so proactive."

In this regard, Asuna greatly admired Rozen and even looked up to him. This man seemed lazy and not serious at first glance, but he had always been the one who could make the most impact. Whether in everyday life or during clearing, he supported everyone, leading them through one difficulty after another.

In truth, if this world didn't have Rozen, who knows how many more people would have perished.

People who sacrificed themselves for the sake of clearing.

People who died because of the rampage of the Orange and Red Guilds.

People who couldn't see hope in clearing and turned to suicide.

Without Rozen, there would have been many, many such people.

Therefore, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Rozen saved hundreds and thousands of players and was the greatest person in this world.

Upon closer inspection, if it weren't for Rozen, she might have fallen down exhausted and died on the 1st floor due to self-abandonment. Furthermore, Rozen saved her from obsession and nightmares, redeeming Asuna's life.

Asuna found herself fascinated by these thoughts as she gazed at Rozen's face. The days of happiness they had shared recently, coupled with their encounter with Yui today, stirred emotions within Asuna, and she couldn't help but speak her heart.

"If I could live here with you and Yui forever, it would be wonderful," she confessed.

"Huh?" Rozen looked at her in astonishment.

Asuna suddenly realized what she had said and her face turned bright red.

"N-Nothing! Don't mind me!" Asuna quickly turned away, her back to Rozen, and nervously continued, "It's really late! Let's go to sleep!"

With that, Asuna fell silent, as if she had actually fallen asleep, and the room grew quiet.

Rozen could only scratch his cheek as he watched Asuna's delicate back and her ears, which had become very noticeable under the moonlight, turn bright red. He couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Well, maybe that wouldn't be so bad..." Rozen thought to himself.

However, he knew it wasn't something he could do.

Because...

"There are still many people waiting for me..."

Such as the junior in Chaldea who was training hard to fight alongside him.

And, the automaton doll who claimed to want to be his possession.

Asuna didn't know that Rozen wasn't just a savior in this world; he played the same role in other worlds as well.

Humanity needed Rozen.

His clan needed him.

Many, many people needed him.

"Of course, I'm not a messiah or anything."

But even if it was for the sake of those he cared about, Rozen had to continue on this path of saving others, just like the being who had bestowed miracles upon him in the past.

"This time, I'll be the one to bring miracles to others."

With this thought in mind, Rozen closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.


Chapter 408: -403- Hard to hold back the jealousy

And so, three days passed.

During these three days, Rozen, Asuna, and Yui had truly become like a family, living a life that was no longer filled with excitement but was undeniably warm.

Though their days were ordinary, consisting of simple meals, casual conversations, and everyday routines, everything felt precious because of its simplicity.

In this world, there were many who aspired to such a life, but how many could truly achieve it?

Even for players who stayed within the safe zone, they had to rack their brains daily to earn some col for a chance at this kind of contentment. Pursuing such a peaceful life seemed nearly impossible.

Therefore, these days were also treasured by Rozen and Asuna, who often found themselves at the frontlines of battles. They were gradually immersing themselves in this daily life, feeling content beyond measure.

And, with Yui's presence, an unspoken sense of responsibility added to their joy. They resembled parents who had to take care of their child, and Rozen and Asuna were embracing this role with open hearts.

Of course, the joy wasn't limited to just Rozen and Asuna; it extended to Saichou and Hanachou as well.

Since Yui had arrived, these two rainbow butterflies had stuck to her like glue. They spent each day playing together:

Sometimes, they chased each other in the open space outside the cabin.

Other times, they played hide and seek in the nearby forest.

Occasionally, Yui watched in delight as the two butterflies danced in mid-air.

And sometimes, they ventured further to search for wild fruits together.

The melodious laughter of the young girl and the pleasant cries of the rainbow butterflies filled the air around the cabin, creating a heavenly atmosphere.

Speaking of Yui, during these three days, she seemed to be gradually recovering. Her speech became more like that of a regular person, and at times, she even made mature remarks.

However, Yui remained a little girl at heart. Every night, she insisted that Rozen and Asuna sleep with her, and she couldn't bear even one of them missing.

In this situation, Rozen and Asuna found themselves gradually getting used to sleeping beside each other. The initial nervousness and discomfort lessened over time, and every night, they fell asleep alongside Yui as if it were the most natural thing.

If anyone from the outside were to witness this, they would undoubtedly say one thing: "You might as well get married."

Rozen and Asuna, of course, were aware of each other's presence but deliberately chose not to acknowledge it, continuing to live together like a real family.

Yui began to rely on them more and more as time went on.

However, during this time, strange occurrences still happened around Yui.

Sometimes she would stare into the distance with a distant look in her eyes.

Other times, she mumbled incoherent words in her sleep.

Occasionally, she would tremble as if scared and seek refuge in Rozen or Asuna's arms.

At times, she even seemed to be in pain, clutching her head and emitting soft moans.

All of these signs indicated that there might be unresolved issues with Yui. But whenever Rozen and Asuna contemplated taking action, Yui would suddenly return to her usual self, calling out "Mama" and "Papa" with her innocent voice as if nothing unusual had occurred.

Seeing Yui like this, Rozen and Asuna could only hide their worries deep within their hearts and continue to accompany the young girl, living their lives as a family of three.

Until one day...

"Ding!"

On the sofa in the living room, Rozen was eloquently telling Yui a certain horror story. Yui sat there with wide eyes, her face filled with tension, when suddenly, an icon appeared before Rozen.

"A message?"

Rozen paused, his eyes narrowing as if he already knew who had sent the message.

"Papa?"

Yui seems to notice something as she looked up in confusion.

"It's nothing." Rozen reached out, gently patting Yui's head. "Papa needs to step out for a moment. How about you go to the kitchen and help Mama?"

Three days had passed, and the Rozen who initially felt the helplessness of becoming a father had completely disappeared. His tone when he referred to himself as "Papa" sounded natural and proficient.

Although Yui didn't understand what had happened, she obediently nodded her head, hopped off the sofa, and ran into the kitchen.

"Gu!"

"Gu!"

Saichou and Hanachou, on the other hand, immediately abandoned their owner and chased after Yui without any hesitation.

"These two..."

Rozen sighed in both resignation and amusement before standing up from the sofa.

At that moment, Asuna peeked out from the kitchen.

"Rozen?"

Seemingly having heard something from Yui, Asuna leaned out with an inquisitive look directed at Rozen.

In response, Rozen only said one thing.

"I'll be back in a bit."

His brief words resembled a husband's parting to his wife.

It seemed that during these three days of a warm life, Asuna had awakened her role as a wife. She nodded at Rozen, smiling.

"Be careful on the way."

Rozen responded with a smile, then, under her gaze, he left the living room, opened the front door, and stepped out of the little cabin.

....

Outside the cabin, in the pine forest.

Rozen, just as before, entered the forest and approached a tree.

"Living the good life, aren't we, ZenZen?"

Playful words filled with teasing and hidden laughter came from the information broker leaning against the tree. Rozen could see the mockery in her eyes, impossible to conceal.

Rozen could only squint his eyes.

"Can I say that your reaction upon seeing me is exactly as I expected?"

Rozen said somewhat wearily.

Argo spread her hands, looking helpless.

"Why did you have to hide in a place where no one can find you and do something that makes everyone jealous? I've been quite nice not to rat you out."

It sounded heartless, but it was the truth, wasn't it?

"Living together with the almost national idol, Little Asuna, and even having such a cute daughter, your life is so comfortable. It's hard to hold back the jealousy."

Argo said with that tone.

Rozen exploded in anger.

"It's one thing if a man says something like that! What's a woman like you, acting like a single dog?"

Rozen shouted, causing Argo to burst into laughter.

Actually, this little mouse just wanted to tease Rozen; she wasn't genuinely envious or jealous, was she?

And then...

"I have some information regarding the matter you asked me to investigate."

Argo brought the conversation back to the point.
