Capítulo 1751: -1732- Wait?
The next day.
It happened to be Sunday.
Perhaps because it was Sunday, the internet was much livelier than usual.
Yesterday, the latest news involving Rozen was added as part of the routine.
"December 13, 2025, the person known as 'Magus' Rozen officially registered for the third BoB tournament, placed in Group A, Number 1. In the preliminary rounds, he secured victories in all four rounds, each match ending in complete victories, with no round taking more than five minutes. In the fifth round, he suddenly forfeited, and his opponent was the one who had barely escaped during the Death Zone incident, the previous BoB tournament's 13th place finisher."
Such news sparked widespread discussion among VRMMO players online.
"As expected, 'Magus' Rozen participated in this BoB tournament."
"Just as the rumors had said."
"Moreover, he passed the preliminary rounds at such an incredible speed, taking less than five minutes for each match. Truly a monster as always."
"I wonder if any GGO players will manage to defeat him in the main event tomorrow."
"I heard the runner-up from the previous BoB tournament, Yamikaze, has shown great interest in 'Magus.' Recently, he's either been hunting outside the circle or changing equipment, probably wanting to teach 'Magus' a lesson at the tournament."
"That sounds exciting."
"By the way, why did Rozen forfeit the fifth round of the preliminaries?"
"Wasn't his opponent the one who fled in front of him, the one from the last tournament?"
"Why forfeit against a defeated opponent?"
"Maybe it's just his temper."
"Is just qualifying for the main event enough for him?"
"With his strength, he can do whatever he wants."
The players continued chatting freely, sharing their opinions and creating a small stir.
However, it was hard to say whether it was due to familiarity or something else, but the stir was noticeably smaller than before.
Compared to Rozen's previous achievements, this one seemed almost expected, and it was easily anticipated by many. Thus, people were no longer surprised.
What's there to be surprised about?
It was just the preliminaries.
What should be surprising was the upcoming main event.
After all, every BoB tournament is a popular event, and the program "MMO Trends" always streams the tournament live, allowing all VRMMO players to watch the matches and follow the competition.
The strongest players of GGO, from the most difficult VRMMO, would definitely attract many viewers.
In short, the BoB tournament starting today could be watched by anyone.
Including players in ALO.
"The guild members have been clamoring that we must have a TV installed in the bar to watch their Guild Leader's performance."
In Rozen's room, a familiar gentle voice sounded from his phone.
It was none other than Asuna.
In the video, Asuna was dressed in casual homewear, showing Rozen a loving smile.
"This time, even Kirito and the others aren't trying to stop it. Especially Klein and Lis, who have been hoping for a TV in the guild's bar for a while now."
Asuna continued to tell Rozen about what was happening in ALO.
Since Rozen joined GGO, Asuna had been talking to him like this every day, sharing news about ALO. Sometimes it was through calls or video chats, and other times at school. She never seemed to tire of it.
Rozen understood that Asuna must be worried that he might grow too attached to his life in GGO and forget the good things in ALO, which is why she kept doing this.
Rozen found Asuna's worry somewhat amusing but also quite endearing.
He knew that Asuna wasn't usually this easy to worry about, but given the special circumstances, she had no choice but to be concerned.
After all, the new floors of Aincrad in ALO were about to open, from the 21st to the 30th. The small cottage on the 22nd floor, once considered their home, would soon be returning. If Rozen didn't want to return to ALO at this crucial moment, Asuna would be deeply disappointed, and so would Yui. That would be heartbreaking.
This mother and daughter duo cared deeply about this matter, and their longing for the Forest Cottage was even stronger than Rozen's. It was something they had no choice but to endure.
"Alright, I'll approve it," Rozen shrugged and said. "Let Agil take care of it. Tell him the expenses are reimbursable."
"Really?" Asuna smiled brightly, her face lighting up. "Then Agil will surely get the TV set up for the guild quickly, so everyone can watch tonight's live broadcast."
Clearly, everyone was anticipating the main event of the BoB tournament in GGO.
Asuna was no different.
"I saw it online," Asuna said with a grin. "Your avatar in GGO looks really cute."
"Yeah," Yui's voice suddenly came from the phone. "After seeing Papa's avatar in GGO, I kept thinking, 'It'd be great if I had such a big sister.'"
Rozen was speechless.
Sister?
His avatar in GGO was clearly gender-neutral, it could be seen as either male or female, but it was still male in terms of real gender. Why would she call it a sister?
This cheeky little girl was definitely doing this on purpose.
"No big sisters, but how about a little sister?" Rozen replied irritably. "Do you want me to give you one?"
As soon as he said that, Yui's voice became excited.
"Yes!"
Yui sounded so happy, it was like her eyes were sparkling with stars.
"Papa, Mama, hurry up and give me a little sister! I want to be a big sister!"
Rozen was once again speechless, and Asuna's face turned bright red.
"You... what are you saying, Yui!"
Asuna feigned anger.
But Yui wasn't scared at all.
"Papa and Mama are already engaged, so you can have babies in the future."
Yui's innocent words made Asuna's face turn even redder.
"Well... we'll have to wait until we've..."
Asuna stammered.
"Wait?" Yui tilted her head, as if confused. "But yesterday, Papa and Mama clearly..."
Before she could finish, Asuna's voice rang out.
"We didn't do anything!"
Asuna panicked and stood up, her face completely red as she shouted.
"Did... did you know, Yui?"
Rozen nearly spit out his drink, shocked.
However, Yui, looking puzzled, said in a completely matter-of-fact tone.
"Of course!" Yui said. "There were quite a few times this month..."
"Beep!"
A crisp sound followed, and the video call was abruptly cut off.
"Mama?"
Yui was surprised.
"..."
Rozen's mouth twitched, unable to stop smiling for a while.
At that moment, Rozen made a resolution.
"From now on, I'll never carry my phone with me again."
Otherwise, he might really end up teaching the little one bad things.
