I'm a Sword Master in Sword Art Online

Mitt let out a defiant snort.

Argo paused for a moment, then resumed his professional demeanor as an intelligence broker: "Well, the mystery is solved. It seems this was just a reward that was randomly generated by the system."

She turned to Asuna and smiled, "Asuna, I'm leaving this rare ingredient to you to cook~ I'm really looking forward to Chef [Shining]'s skills."

Asuna pursed her lips. Although she was still a little bothered by the divination results, she quickly realized that these were just random events preset in the game. She smiled confidently again: "Leave it to me. My cooking skills are maxed out."

Back at the guild headquarters, Asuna meticulously prepared this precious S-rank ingredient. When the fragrant dish was served, Argo couldn't help but nod in praise: "As expected of Asuna, she has brought out the best in the ingredients."

After dinner, Silica and Yui played house in the living room. Yui tilted her head and asked curiously, "What is house?"

Silica explained, "It's a game where everyone plays the role of a family, with each person acting as the father, mother, and child."

Yui's eyes lit up immediately, and she excitedly tugged at Mochizuki Kaede's sleeve: "Daddy, come play too!"

So, under Yui's arrangement, Mochizuki Kaede played the father, Yui herself played the mother, and Silica played the daughter. Silica originally wanted to take the mother's role, but seeing Yui's expectant look, she gave in.

"I will definitely play the role of Brother Feng's daughter well!" Silica promised, blushing.

The game begins with the scene of the "daughter" waking up.

Silica rubbed her sleepy eyes and shyly greeted her "parents": "Dad, Mom... Good morning."

"Good morning, Silica." Mochizuki Kaede was still a little unaccustomed to her new identity, and her reply was slightly stiff.

Yui immediately got into character and asked gently, "What would you like for breakfast? Poached eggs or scrambled eggs?"

As she spoke, she gestured in the air as if cracking an egg.

Silica glanced at Mochizuki Kaede and said softly, "I...I want to eat the same thing as Daddy."

Mochizuki Kaede silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart; Silica was indeed very dedicated to the role of this "daughter."

"Then a fried egg, please~" Yui gestured busily in the air with her hands, as if she were actually frying an egg. After a moment, she carefully handed the "air fried egg" to Silica.

Silica pretended to take the plate and made a tasting motion: "Mmm, Mom's cooking is delicious!"

Yui smiled happily, her big, dark eyes curving into crescent moons.

At that moment, Asuna curiously approached. After learning what was going on, she joked, "Yui is my daughter, so doesn't that make me Silica's grandmother?"

“That’s correct in theory.” Mochizuki Kaede couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Asuna's mom, let's be kids too!" Yui suggested excitedly. "It'll be more lively with more kids!"

"Playing house..." Asuna's eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia. "It's such a nostalgic game. Well then, I'll gladly accept your invitation."

She turned to Silica and deliberately used a childish tone to say, "Silica-neechan, please guide me!"

"Huh? You want to be my sister?" Silica's eyes widened in surprise.

"Because I joined relatively late," Asuna said matter-of-factly.

The game quickly moved into a new scene: the two "daughters" played until very late before going home.

"Mom, we're back!" Asuna shouted energetically.

Yui greeted them: "Welcome back, Silica-chan, Asuna-chan, did you have fun out there?"

Like a true mother, she reminded me, "Remember to wash your hands and rinse your mouth when you come back from outside!"

"Okay—" Asuna replied in a drawn-out tone, just like a playful little girl.

Watching this unexpected turn of events, Mochizuki Kaede couldn't help but smile. The usually mature and composed Asuna was now acting like an innocent and carefree little girl, a strange contrast that he found both novel and amusing.

Just then, Stoleya popped up, blinking her crimson eyes, and said, "I don't quite understand what playing house is, but it looks so fun! I want to join in!"

Mochizuki Kaede looked at her: "So, what role do you want to play?"

Stoleya rested her index finger on her chin, pretended to think for a few seconds, then her eyes suddenly lit up: "I want to be your mistress!"

"Eh?!"

Yui, Asuna, and Silica all gasped in surprise, their eyes widening in unison, each with a different expression: Yui looked bewildered, Asuna frowned slightly, and Silica blushed instantly.

Mochizuki Kaede, both amused and exasperated, immediately rejected the idea: "No way."

"Eh~ why..." Stoleya was about to lean against Mochizuki Kaede when Asuna quickly grabbed her arm.

"Strea should remain the third daughter," Asuna said in an unquestionable tone. "Silica is the eldest daughter, and I am the second."

Yui gave a loving look: "Yes! Strea-chan is my third daughter~"

"Hmm... alright then." Stoleya pouted, though somewhat reluctant, she obediently accepted the arrangement.

However, she immediately switched into character, adopting an innocent and carefree expression, and rushed towards Wang Yuefeng with open arms—

"Daddy! Hug me!"

"Hey... Stoleya?!" Mochizuki Kaede was caught off guard when she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her soft body against him. Her affectionate call made him stiffen.

"Wait, wait a minute! You're sticking too close!" Asuna watched as Strea rubbed her face against Mochizuki Kaede's chest like a clingy kitten. Noticing Asuna's gaze, Strea winked smugly.

"I'm the third daughter who loves to act cute~ Acting cute is a basic skill!" she said confidently, then tilted her head up and looked innocently at Mochizuki Kaede with her big, watery eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering.

"Storia-chan." Yui sat on the sofa and gently patted her thigh. "You can't stick to Daddy all the time. Come over here, Mommy will give you a lap pillow."

“Hmm…” Stoleya wanted to refuse, but seeing Yui’s maternal smile and the lap pillow that was already prepared, she had no choice but to reluctantly get off Mochizuki Kaede and come to Yui’s side.

"Sweetie..." Yui gently stroked the girl resting on her lap, her fingers softly combing through her short hair. "Stroeia-chan is such a good girl. If you want to be spoiled in the future, you can come to Mommy anytime."

Chapter 178: Daughters

"Yuna-chan is the fourth daughter, Argo-chan is the fifth daughter, and Mito-chan is the sixth daughter~"

Yui clapped her hands happily, calling everyone over as if calling out names. Her bright, expectant eyes were so captivating that it was impossible to refuse.

Everyone felt a special tenderness for the girl with amnesia. Although a little embarrassed, they still obediently gathered around her. Argo scratched his cheek, Mitt lowered his head, while Yuna had already naturally gotten into character.

"Everyone can feel free to be cute and affectionate with me," Yui said gently. "Now, dinner is ready~"

Yuna was the first to raise her hand and answer, "Mom, what's for dinner today?"

"It's a special stewed mutton!" Yui announced proudly, even making a stirring motion. "The mutton is stewed until tender, paired with a rich and fragrant broth..."

"Wow! I love Mom's soup the most!" Yuna cupped her face in her hands, making an expectant expression.

Yui laughed, "Hehe, Asuna's mom won over Dad's heart with this dish~"

"Ehhhhh!" Everyone exclaimed in unison, their eyes turning to Mochizuki Kaede and Asuna.

"..." Mochizuki Kaede paused slightly, then recalled the stories he had told Yui about his adventures with Asuna. The most unforgettable memory for him was the stewed mutton Asuna made at the herbalist's house on the second floor. The delicious taste still lingered on his tongue, making it unforgettable.

"Yui... no, Mom..." Asuna's face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears. "This is not the time to talk about this."

But Yui innocently added, "Because this is a real story that happened between a father and mother~"

Asuna's face turned even redder.

Seeing this, Yuna quickly smoothed things over, clapping her hands exaggeratedly and saying, "Wow! The stewed lamb today must be super delicious! I can't wait to taste Mom's cooking!"

Silica immediately said, "I want to sit next to Daddy."

Asuna raised her head slightly, a faint blush on her cheeks, and said softly, "Then I want to sit to Daddy's left."

Stoleya smiled slyly and said, "Then I want to sit on Daddy's lap."

"Ahem!" Mitt cleared his throat heavily. "Absolutely not, we're just playing a game."

Argo sat cross-legged to the side, resting his chin on his hand and smiling, saying, "Everyone should take this pretend game seriously."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Yui put her hands on her hips and exuded the aura of a mistress of the house: "Okay, okay~ everyone, you can't fight, you have to listen to your parents and be good children."

The scene immediately fell silent. The girls looked at each other and smiled shyly.

Yui nodded in satisfaction: "Then, before we eat, let's all say 'I'm starting to eat'... One, two, three—"

"Let's eat!" everyone shouted in unison, their cheerful voices echoing through the hall. Looking at the heartwarming scene before him, Wang Yuefeng felt a surge of warmth in his heart, even though the scene was absurd and shameful.

Yui swayed happily, "Hehe, having so many adorable children, Mommy is so happy~"

Silica suddenly realized something: "So, Miss Argo is the youngest sister now? I've become the eldest sister!"

Yuna tilted her head in thought: "But what exactly should our age be?"

“Hmm…” Silica held up a finger, “I think I’m about seven years old.”

"Then I'd be around four years old, wouldn't I?" Yuna blinked her big eyes and deliberately spoke in a more childish voice.

Yui's gaze suddenly shifted to Mito: "Then Mito-chan is a little baby~"

“…” Mitt’s gaze revealed helplessness; she was clearly very dissatisfied with this setting.

Before she could react, Yui had already nimbly climbed onto the sofa and hugged her head tightly: "Okay~ Mito-chan, Mommy will hug you~"

As she spoke, she rubbed her cheek against the top of Mitt's head and gently rocked him like she was soothing a real baby.

The usually calm and composed Mitt was now so embarrassed that he was at a loss for words: "This is really..."

"Mmm~ Little baby, be a good girl~" Yui gently stroked Mito's hair, patting her back from time to time. "Mommy loves Mito-chan the most~"

"Waaah... Asuna." Mito looked at her friend for help, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Asuna, however, gave a serious thumbs-up: "Mitu-chan, do your best! You're still our little baby!"

"How could this be..." Mite's voice grew softer and softer, and he shrank into a ball.

Yui finally let go of her and gently tidied her messy hair: "Alright, Mito-chan, it's time for dinner~ Do you want some milk~?"

Mitt's face flushed bright red instantly. After hesitating for a long time, he finally imitated a baby's utterance in an almost inaudible voice: "Ba..."

"Huh...?" Yui tilted her head, looking confused.

Mitt took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and, as if throwing caution to the wind, made a sound like a baby: "Plop..."

"That's amazing, Mito-chan!" Asuna clapped her hands excitedly. "She's the cutest baby in the world!"

Mitt wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground, but he had to force himself to remain calm and endure the intense gazes of the crowd.

"Mom! Let me hug Mito-chan later too!" Silica excitedly raised her hand.

"This is so embarrassing," Mitt lamented inwardly, but for some reason, he also felt that this experience was not so bad.

As the game progressed to the next stage, Yui clapped her hands and announced, "Alright, kids, it's time for bed~ Mommy will give everyone a goodnight kiss before you go to sleep~"

She first went to her eldest daughter, Silica, and gently kissed her on the cheek. Silica immediately gave Yui a big hug.

Next up are Asuna and Strea.

Asuna blushed as she accepted the kiss and returned it with a kiss on Yui's cheek, while Strea also gave Yui a loud "pop" kiss on the cheek.

When it was Yuna's turn, she giggled and dodged, saying, "It tickles!"

After being kissed, Argo reached out and ruffled Yui's hair.

Finally, it was Mito's turn. As Yui's lips gently touched her forehead, she whispered, "Like this is nice too."

Mochizuki Kaede cleared her throat: "Alright, it's time to go to sleep."

Yui suddenly said, "Daddy should give the kids goodnight kisses too~"

"Huh?!" The girls present exclaimed in unison, and everyone's expression became subtle.

"Huh?" Mochizuki Kaede froze on the spot.

"I want Daddy's kiss~ otherwise I can't sleep~" Stoleya immediately started to tease.

Yui looked earnestly at the bewildered Mochizuki Kaede: "Dad, what's wrong? The children are all waiting for you."

"Yui!" Asuna quickly tried to smooth things over, "It's okay if Daddy doesn't need to kiss me!"

"Huh? Is that so?" Yui blinked in confusion.

Mochizuki Kaede quickly chimed in, "That's right, a goodnight kiss is Mom's job!"

"Oh, I see!" Yui nodded in sudden understanding, then happily announced, "That concludes today's pretend play! It was so much fun! Thank you everyone for playing with me!"

With a sigh of relief, Mochizuki Kaede patted Yui's head and said to everyone, "Thank you all for cooperating with us."

"This was so much fun!" Stoleya stretched and said, still wanting more.

Yuna smiled gently: "If Yui is happy, I can play with you anytime."

Argo nodded: "Let's play together again next time, Yui!"
