Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Chapter 5 Brother and Sister Playtime

Having defeated his grandfather and gained recognition, Suguha's swordsmanship training fell on her.

"Hey, Onii-chan, was what you just said true?" At this time, Suguha followed behind Kirito and kept asking excitedly, as if what happened in the dojo was still vivid in her mind.

"What's true?"

"That's the sentence. Games can make swordsmanship stronger." It seems that Suguha is very interested.

"…Of course it's true."

"Is it true? Onii-chan sounds uncertain." Suguha took a step forward and stared into Kirito's eyes, trying to get further confirmation.

Kirito felt ashamed when being stared at. He didn't dare to look directly into Suguha's eyes. He turned his back and said, "It's true. Since you don't believe it, why don't you try it together?"

"Let's try it."

"Then let's come together."

The two walked one after the other, took off their outdoor shoes, entered the room and came to Kirito's room on the second floor.

Kirito pushed open the door of the room, and the simple layout of the room came into Suguha's eyes. Apart from the necessary bed, the rest were items related to electronic devices. The bookshelf was full of game discs, and diagonally opposite the bed was a commonly used computer.

This is Onii-chan’s room. I can’t remember the last time I came here. Except for the added game discs, the rest of the place is the same as I remember.

The air is filled with the scent of Onii-chan, which is even stronger than the scent of clothes when you are close to each other. You should have a good dream if you sleep in this room.

I didn't expect that I would be able to step into my brother's room again. I thought that the two of us, who had already become somewhat estranged, would drift further and further apart.

"Nao, sit here." Kirito called to Suguha and sat down next to the console together.

Seeing that Suguha was a little reserved, Kirito asked, "What kind of game do you want to play with, Naoki-chan?"

“…Um…I don’t quite understand. I’ll have to help you, Onii-chan.”

"Then improve your reaction ability first and play shooting games." Kirito picked out a CD with a gun on the cover and inserted it into the console.

Games start.

"All you need to do now is to observe the enemies that will appear on the screen, then control the cursor in the center of the screen to move to the enemy, and finally shoot to defeat the enemy. It's that simple."

In fact, it is not easy. For beginners, the difficulty is no less than that of parents learning computer operation.

"Ah, dead." As expected, Suguha quickly realized the danger of the game.

"It doesn't matter, just die and start over."

After dying four or five times, Suguha finally mastered some skills and encountered the boss at the end of the level.

"This is the final boss. If that's the case, it's pretty easy."

Finally he died again.

"Eh? I don't believe it. I will definitely defeat this guy."

After dying twice more, Suguha finally defeated the final boss and excitedly approached Kirito.

"Did you see it? Did you see it? I finally beat that guy. I'm awesome, right?"

Seeing how happy and excited Suguha was, Kirito couldn't help but touch her head and praised: "Very good, Suguha." It's better not to tell her that this is just a novice BOSS.

"So what are we going to play next?" Suguha couldn't help but ask, no longer able to suppress his interest in playing further.

"Now that you've mastered the operation, the next thing we're going to play is a two-player game, a game where two people work together to complete a task." Kirito said as he took out another disc.

This game is similar to the two-player level-breaking game in the previous life, but it requires the cooperation of two people to complete.

"Yes, yes, step on that stone and the elevator will start." Kirito instructed seriously.

“Yes, is that so?”

"Yes, and then I will press the switch and come in the moment the door opens."

"I understand." After Kirito's guidance, Suguha has mastered the general idea of ​​the game and can now handle it on her own.

The next levels require them to work together to solve complex puzzles.

Kirito was responsible for destroying obstacles, while Suguha used her wisdom to interpret the puzzle. They worked together and finally solved the puzzle and entered the next level.

At the last level of the game, they faced a powerful BOSS enemy.

"I'll take the damage in front, and you take the opportunity to use magic to hit him." Kirito gave the order.

"Yes." Suguha also developed the habit of following orders through continuous experience.

"This is the final blow." Finally, they defeated the BOSS together and successfully passed the level.

"We've cleared the level!" After the game ended, Kirito and Suguha cheered excitedly.

After the excitement cooled down, the two realized that the sky had become darker without them noticing, and it was already dusk.

"It's already this time, let's stop here for today and play together next time," Kirito suggested.

"Okay, it's settled. Let's play together next time." Suguha agreed with a smile on her face.

Looking at Suguha like this, Kirito asked the question in his mind: "How do you feel about the game today? Are you interested?"

"Yeah, very interested."

Hearing this answer, Kirito breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, Onii-chan, the idea that playing games can improve your swordsmanship is fake, because I don't feel like I've gotten any stronger after playing for half a day." Suguha said with a smile.

"Will Xiaozhi be angry that I deceived him?" Kirito touched Suguha's little head again. The touch was smooth, and he felt like he was about to get addicted.

"Not at all. I think Onii-chan must have felt that there was some distance between us, so she came up with this idea. I also want to continue this kind of relationship."

"Also, I'm really happy today. Thank you, Onii-chan."

From Suguha's perspective, Kirito agreed with what he said.

But Kirito's mind was: What should I do? I don't think that way at all. According to the original plot, the relationship between the two would not have become distant, but even deepened.

If I tell Suguha now that I just wanted to test the swordsmanship I have learned today, and if I don't use Suguha as an excuse, the old man will definitely not agree to the competition, and may even throw me out of the dojo. I am a junior and cannot hit the old man directly, so I use this as an excuse.

What happened later was all natural and would definitely ruin the atmosphere.

After all, everyone can understand that Suguha's favorability is rising. If you can see the character data, Suguha's favorability should be +1, +1, +1...

Isn't this already entering the sister route? I need to change the topic quickly.

"Well, actually you can become stronger in the game. Of course, it's not the game we're playing today." Kirito said shamelessly without changing his expression.

"Eh? Really?"

Very good, the topic was changed successfully.

"It's true. There will soon be a fully immersive VR game on the market. In the game, you can constantly hone your sword skills and even compete with other masters in real swordplay."

"What does holographic... immersion... mean?" Suguha was puzzled.

That’s right, it’s normal for an electronics newbie not to understand.

Kirito explained seriously: "To put it simply, it involves all five senses of human beings in the data, forming a world where one can touch, hear, and even smell and taste delicious food."

"Great! That would be the second world." Suguha was very surprised. After all, it was very different from the game he played today. "Anyone who can design a game like this must be a genius."

Kirito raised the corners of his mouth and puffed out his chest: "To be honest, it is me."

“Eh? Oh…Onii-chan, you designed this.”

"To be precise, I brought it here, but someone else designed it," Kirito corrected.

"Ahaha, that's what I said. Based on my understanding of Onii-chan, even a genius can't do such a thing, unless he is an alien."

"It's already this late, I'm going to go cook first." Suguha said and walked away.

Kirito was left alone, thinking: "It's not wrong to say that I'm an alien."
