"Mr. … Rozen …?"
Kurumi couldn't help but be stunned.
"Rozen?"
Yasna also looked at him.
At this moment, Rozen's tone carried many emotions.
Among them, there was gentleness, reproach, displeasure, relief, and all kinds of emotions were contained within.
Rozen said these words with such a tone.
"You're really a fool, Kurumi."
Rozen finally stepped forward, stood in front of Kurumi, and half-squatted down.
Under the situation where his line of sight was level with Kurumi's stunned gaze, Rozen softly opened his mouth.
"Because it's an AI program, it doesn't have the right to receive human emotions. Who made such a rule?"
Such a simple sentence made Kurumi speechless.
Wasn't that the case?
"Kurumi is a highly intelligent AI program, right? Then you should understand that this kind of third-rate plot only appears in novels and dramas. If you really get into a fight because of this, then you'll be laughed at in the real world. "
So Rozen said these words with a playful tone.
"When that time comes, as your father, how embarrassing would I be?"
Such words made Kurumi's pretty face surge with surprise, joy, and uneasiness.
"Father …" Kurumi said with extreme uneasiness, "Can I still call you father?"
Kurumi felt uneasy and hesitant about this.
However, what she got in return was Rozen's annoyance.
"The one who called someone else father without permission was you?" Rozen said in a bad mood, "What's the result? Suddenly you don't want to acknowledge it? This kind of situation is called turning hostile in the real world. Even if you get scolded, there's no way to refute it. "
Rozen sounded like he was really lecturing his own daughter, his tone was only filled with reproach.
"But … but …"
Kurumi still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Rozen.
"If you don't understand, then let me tell you, Kurumi." Rozen looked straight into Kurumi's eyes and said, "I'm not a saint who can accept everything. If something really sad happens, then your so-called spirit value will definitely change. It won't be as stable as it used to be, nor will it be as peaceful as it used to be."
This was a matter of course.
"Or rather, if something that I cannot accept really happens, I will definitely be more excited, sad, and crazy than anyone else."
Rozen said to Kurumi with a smile.
"For example, my beloved daughter suddenly doesn't recognize me as her father."
Rozen's heartfelt words did not stop Kuri's tears. Instead, they flowed even more frequently.
Rozen continued to laugh as if he didn't see it.
"Don't use the excuse that you're just an AI program. Otherwise, Saichou and Hanachou will be angry."
After all, to a certain extent, these two Tamed Demons were the same as Kurumi. They were also existences created by AI programs. Even if they weren't as intelligent as Kurumi, they still had their own emotions.
If Kurumi despised her for being an AI program, then wouldn't Saichou and Hanachou be included as well?
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Saichou and Hanachou let out a cry.
Now that he thought about it, the reason why Saichou and Hanachou liked Kurumi so much was probably because Kurumi was the same as them.
Rozen wanted to tell Kurumi.
"I already have two Tamed Demons. One more daughter is nothing."
Rozen's relaxed words made Kurumi cry.
"Daddy …!"
Jieyi finally called out that name once again.
Even though she was crying, even though she couldn't make a sound, the joy in her heart was the same as the first time she called Rozen that name.
Yasna, who was watching from the side, also couldn't help but cry.
"Hey, Kurumi."
Yasna squatted down beside Rozen, keeping her eyes level with Kurumi. Her eyes were already wet.
"Why does Kurumi want to call us Daddy and Mommy?"
Yasna asked this question with a smile and tears in her eyes.
"That's because …" Kurumi said while sobbing, "That's because …"
Because of her crying, Kurumi couldn't speak at all.
But it didn't matter.
No matter what, it wasn't the first time that Kurumi couldn't speak.
Even if the reason was different, during the time they lived together, Kurumi still couldn't speak clearly and spoke in a daze.
Thanks to this, even if Kurumi couldn't say a complete sentence, Yasna could still understand what she wanted to say.
"Because you want to be with us."
"Like a family, forever together."
"That's why you call us Mommy and Daddy out of the same desire even though we've become like that, right?"
Yasna smiled, but tears also flowed down.
"Woo … woo …"
Kurumi could only nod incessantly, following Yasna in tears.
Seeing this scene, Rozen didn't feel sad at all. Instead, he warmly watched over them.
As for what he wanted to say, it was already clear.
Didn't Kurumi already say it in the beginning?
"'Leave home as if you're sleepwalking' — — that's what you said, right?"
Rozen smiled casually.
"You've also admitted that that place is your home, isn't it?"
If that's the case, there's only one thing left to do.
"Everything that needs to be done here has been done, your memories have been completely restored, and even your original position has been revoked. You are completely free to choose your own future. Being able to confirm this matter, this trip wasn't in vain."
So Rozen said this as if it was a matter of course.
"So, let's go home."
Yes.
Go home.
Only that small wooden house was the shared home of the three of them.
Kurumi couldn't speak, she could only nod, nod, and nod again. A big smile bloomed on her young face that was full of tears.
That smile was both innocent and pure, just like Kuri in the past.
Yasna rushed over and hugged her beloved daughter tightly.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Saichou and Hanachou kept flying above their heads, making joyful and cheerful cries echoed throughout the room.
Rozen looked at the mother and daughter who were hugging each other with tears streaming down their faces, and his heart was filled with warmth and understanding that he didn't have in the past.
Perhaps, after coming to this world, his biggest gain wasn't the collection of tamed monsters, nor was it the mastery and progress of technology, but the company of the mother and daughter in front of him.
Indeed, Rozen and Yasna weren't husband and wife, not even lovers.
Indeed, Kurumi wasn't related to them by blood, and they only knew each other for three days.
But all of this wasn't important anymore.
From this moment on, the three of them would truly become a family.
As long as he could confirm this, it would be enough.
Rozen raised his head and looked at the black management device in front of him.
"A console to connect to the system?"
So Rozen narrowed his eyes and then looked away.
In the white room, the warm atmosphere continued.
Until a long time later …
"Okay, let's go back."
"Okay!"
"Yes!"
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Yasna, Kurumi, Saichou, and Hanachou responded one after another. The former two's faces no longer had tears, only smiles.
After that, the group used the transfer crystal and directly returned to the 22nd floor.
