Miracle Summoner

"Have you made up your mind?"

Rozen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Asuna.

"Yes!" Asuna nodded firmly.

Rozen knew how significant this decision was for Asuna. She had never been one to go against her family's wishes, as she had always followed their arrangements since childhood.

Especially with Kyoko, and even her family, Yuuki Shouzou and Yuuki Kouichirou, Asuna had never defied them. How could she go against them now?

But this time, Asuna had clearly decided to rebel.

"I'll convince Mom!" Asuna said decisively. "Even though she might not listen to me, this is nothing compared to what Yuuki went through!"

For as long as Yuuki had lived, she had been fighting against death, battling illness from birth, never giving up. Now, Yuuki had finally received redemption and earned the future she deserved.

So...

"I will fight for my future too!"

Asuna lifted her eyes and stared straight at Rozen.

"Even if Mom opposes me, I will stick to my decision!"

In that moment, there was no trace of confusion in Asuna's eyes. All that remained was determination and fighting spirit.

She looked just like the "Flash" Asuna of old.

Seeing Asuna like this, Rozen couldn't help but smile.

He believed that once Asuna had made up her mind to fight, Kyouko would eventually yield.

Even though Kyouko might be self-righteous or overly focused on achievements and status, her intentions were always for the sake of her children.

Although she had been influenced by the impetuous environment and became too obsessed with career and success, that did not mean Kyouko didn't love her family.

As such, as long as Asuna persisted, her intentions would eventually be understood by Kyouko.

After all, they were family.

Of course, convincing Kyouko wouldn't be easy. She was a professor who had triumphed over countless competitors, while Asuna was just a high school student, trying to win an argument against her would not be easy.

So...

"You'll have to give it your best," Rozen suddenly smiled and said, "When I come back, if you've already transferred, I'll storm into your house and cause a scene. You know I won't give your family face."

"Mm!" Asuna also smiled, nodding again.

The two of them looked at each other, deeply gazing into each other's eyes.

Finally, their figures drew closer, and all their emotions were poured out in a passionate kiss.

...

In the following days, Rozen first visited the hospitals and medical facilities where the members of the Sleeping Knights were being treated. He used magic potions to heal their incurable diseases and then returned to the Crimson Wing guild headquarters with Yuuki and the others to formally introduce them to the guild.

This caused a wave of cheers throughout Crimson Wing.

Not long ago, Sinon's joining had already been a surprise for Crimson Wing, but now even the famed "Zekken" and the members of Sleeping Knights had joined. How could the guild not be excited?

Let's not even mention Yuuki, just the members of Sleeping Knights alone had recently conquered the 27th floor and defeated the floor boss, with their names etched on the Monument of Swordsmen, admired by all players in ALfheim Online.

Everyone knew that with Asuna's help, this guild had single-handedly defeated the floor boss of the 27th floor with only six members, showcasing their immense strength.

Adding such players to Crimson Wing was bound to strengthen the guild.

Along with Sinon, in just half a month, seven top-tier players who ranked among the best in the entire server had joined Crimson Wing, making everyone in the guild ecstatic.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Rozen also announced that he would be going abroad for a few months to handle some matters. During his absence, all guild affairs would be handed over to Asuna, and everyone was instructed to follow her guidance and continue running the guild.

This caused quite a reaction from the guild members, but since Rozen had said it was for personal matters, they all expressed understanding and vowed to work hard in his absence to uphold Crimson Wing's reputation.

And then, the time for celebration arrived.

There was a farewell party for Rozen and a welcome party for the members of Sleeping Knights. The entire guild celebrated, and the atmosphere was lively.

On this day, everyone gave up their usual hunting and dungeon-raiding activities to spend time in the guild bar, enjoying drinks and chatting.

Rozen was, of course, the center of attention at the party.

Everyone from Crimson Wing came to toast him as a way of saying goodbye.

Members from Sleeping Knights came to thank him, solemnly promising to protect the guild well.

Naturally, Rozen's companions also came.

"You better come back soon."

Kirito reminded him.

"I still want you to help me create new sword skills, nii-san."

Leafa said, reluctantly.

"Please take good care of yourself, Rozen-nii."

Silica spoke, her eyes glistening with tears.

"If you don't come back soon, I'll just take your fiancée."

Lis teased.

"Make sure to take care of yourself, Guild Leader."

Sachi spoke with a hint of sadness.

"Don't stay out too long. If you do, I won't know how to repay your kindness."

Sinon kept her gaze fixed on Rozen.

"Bring back some souvenirs!"

Klein shouted loudly.

"Remember to come back and throw a party at my bar when you return, but of course, I won't be picking up the tab."

Agil laughed.

"Gu!"

"Gu!"

Even Saichou and Hanachou stayed close to Rozen for a long time.

During this time, their ownership would be transferred to Silica, who would take care of them.

Asuna and Yuuki, of course, remained by Rozen's side.

"I'll miss you, Papa. You need to come back soon."

Yuuki appeared in her young form, hugging Rozen tightly with tears in her eyes.

During this time, Rozen would also transfer Yuuki's core data to Asuna, allowing Yuuki to stay with her.

"I'll wait for you to return."

Asuna only said this one sentence.

Looking at everyone like this, Rozen kept a calm smile on his face, his emotions unreadable to others, but his eyes revealed feelings that spoke of his own attachments.

The celebration lasted deep into the night.

The next day, Rozen, accompanied by Kirigaya Midori, Kirigaya Aoka, Kirigaya Suguha, and Asuna, boarded a plane to the UK.

But after arriving in the UK, Rozen disappeared.

Rozen had left this world.

Without any regrets.
