The next day, Rozen washed up at home, ate dinner, and accompanied Kirito and Naoya to train, then he picked up the game helmet, put it on his head, and logged into the game.
"Shhnnnnnn!"
In the glow of flowing data, Rozen's virtual character appeared in a small wooden house.
That was naturally Rozen, Yasna, and Kurumi's home on the 22nd floor of Aincrad, Forest House.
As soon as he logged in, three rays of light flashed around Rozen's body.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Saichou and Hanachou appeared in the light one after another, flapping their phosphorescent wings and hovering in the air. After a while, they landed on Rozen's shoulders, rubbed Rozen's cheek, and made an affectionate sound.
"Happy New Year, little guys."
Rozen teased Saichou and Hanachou with his fingers and smiled.
Immediately afterward, a small elf also appeared in the light, flapping her fairy-like wings and hovering in front of Rozen.
"Daddy!"
Kurumi yawned as if she just woke up, and then called out to Rozen sweetly, which made Rozen happy.
He had to admit that his daughter was really a sweet little cotton-padded jacket. Having such a cute daughter calling him daddy every day, that kind of enjoyment could definitely make him lose his mind. Even if he had to pick the stars in the sky and give them to her, he wouldn't hesitate.
If it weren't for Rozen's sanity, he might really do that.
After all, it's not impossible for him to pick the stars in the sky.
So, Rozen also reached out his finger and tapped Kurumi's cute face with a happy smile.
"Happy New Year, Jieyi. Have you been obedient?"
Hearing that, Kurumi seemed to feel itchy, holding Rozen's finger and puffed up her cheeks.
"Daddy, my core program is in your AmuSphere. Unless daddy or mommy, who has been given the remote access to the program, I can't appear in the ALO. How can I be obedient when mommy and daddy are not here?"
Kurumi seemed to be complaining.
It couldn't be helped. During the time when they were in Yuecheng's house, Rozen and Asuna couldn't go online. Even when they went to Yuecheng's house, they had to dress up properly and greet people all day long. Even if they wanted to sneak into the house at night, they couldn't do so because there was no wireless network in this era. So, the AmuSphere that they brought with them was completely useless. Therefore, during that time, Rozen and Asuna couldn't log in.
However …
"Even if you can't log in, you can still use my phone and computer freely. You shouldn't be bored, right?"
Rozen continued to poke Kuri's little face. He seemed to like the feeling a little, causing Kuri to pout playfully.
"That's not it. Seeing Mom and Dad chatting happily with others while I'm left to the side, it's really lonely."
Yuyi was still protesting.
For the obedient Kurumi to complain and protest to such an extent, it was evident that she was indeed lonely.
"Well, it's my fault." Rozen smiled in his heart, but he pretended to be serious and said: "From now on, Mom and Dad will accompany Kurumi every day. Even if they don't log in, they won't leave Kurumi aside. They will definitely chat with Kurumi on the phone. Is that okay?"
"Really?" Kurumi showed a big smile and said: "You can't lie to me, okay?"
"Well, of course." Rozen smiled and said: "You can lie to anyone but my precious daughter, right?"
"Hehe." Kurumi was both embarrassed and happy at the same time.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Saichou and Hanachou made a sound again to show their existence.
"Haha, I didn't forget you."
Rozen couldn't help but laugh.
Therefore, in the living room of the small wooden house, the father and daughter and the two pets started to play together, causing laughter to echo continuously.
Soon after …
"Shhnnnnn!"
Another burst of light flashed, and a slender figure appeared in the living room.
Who else could it be other than Yasna?
"Mom!"
Kuri immediately pounced on him happily.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Saichou and Hanachou also expressed their welcome.
"Kitsui-chan."
Asuna turned around and smiled as she reached out to catch Kurumi, who was rushing towards her.
As for Rozen …
"Hmm?"
Seeing Yasna appear in the living room, Rozen frowned imperceptibly.
There was no other reason, but because Yasna's smile was more forced than when he went to her house for the New Year. Her eyes were no longer showing fatigue, but sadness and disappointment.
"Yasna?"
At that moment, Rozen tilted his head and called out to Yasna in confusion.
"Rozen …"
Yasna also looked at Rozen, and her lips moved. Then, as if she had swallowed something, she took a deep breath, and the smile on her face became natural.
"Good morning."
Yasna spoke to Rozen as gently and gently as before.
However, Rozen did not reply with a smile like before.
"What's wrong?" Rozen asked directly, "Did something happen?"
"No … Nothing." Yasna quickly shook her head, and as if trying to avoid the topic, she said, "What could happen to me? The most annoying part of the annual meeting is over, and there won't be anything else, so I'm fine. "
Her words were obviously insincere.
However, before Rozen could continue asking, Yasna quickly changed the topic.
"Alright, let's go to the guild. We haven't logged in for a while, and we haven't greeted everyone in the guild for the New Year. Everyone must be complaining about us."
Yasna's words did not get echoed by Rozen, but Kurumi did.
"Because mom and dad are the guild leader and vice leader respectively. Of course, everyone wants to greet mom and dad for the New Year."
Kurumi was easily attracted by Yasna's change of topic.
"All the more reason for us to go there earlier."
Yasna smiled, walked to Rozen's side, and held his hand.
"Come, let's go."
Asuna chuckled as she urged him on.
Seeing Yasna like this, Rozen was silent for a while, and then he smiled.
"Okay."
Rozen nodded.
The group left the Forest House, and headed to the guild building on the 20th floor.
There was only a strange atmosphere, and no one knew about it.
.....
At this time, in the guild bar, everyone had gathered together. They did not go out to hunt, but drank and chatted.
"Everyone, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
"We're here to greet everyone."
Rozen, Yasna, and Kurumi entered with Saichou and Hanachou, and greeted everyone.
"Leader!"
"Vice leader!"
"You're finally here!"
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and as if they had been waiting for a long time, they stood up and greeted Rozen and the others.
"You're finally here. Too slow."
In the next second, with Liz's dissatisfied voice, Rozen's friends also gathered.
Kirito, Lifa, Liz, and Celica were all online, while Xing, Klein, and Aikir were absent.
