Kirito looked at his mother's gentle face, as if he was unable to let go no matter how hard he tried.
However, Kirito knew that he had grown up. He could not be like a child, throwing himself into his mother's arms and crying, refusing to let her leave.
Kirito looked at her with reddened eyes. His fists were tightly clenched, and his entire body was trembling.
Kirito's mother could tell that Kirito was holding back his emotions. She looked at Kirito with some heartache. Kirito had been very sensible since he was young. He had never made her worry. When she sent him to learn taekwondo when he was young, even when he was in pain from the training, Kirito would look at her and wipe away his tears, revealing a smile.
Thinking of this, Kirito's mother revealed a smile. She took Kirito's hand and said, "Silly child, you're always so sensible. I really can't stop worrying about you."
Kirito could not hold it in any longer. Tears flowed down drop by drop, but Kirito continued to clench his fists tightly. He pursed his lips and did not say a single word.
Kirito's mother was stunned. Her eyes were filled with disappointment. She said in a low voice, "Are you blaming me too?
Kirito. "
Kirito immediately raised his head and threw himself fiercely into his mother's arms. He said in a choked voice, "Mother, I've never blamed you. Let go. I'll take good care of myself."
Kirito's mother could no longer hold back her tears. She held onto Kirito's black hair and said slowly, "After I died, your father was unable to let go. He had been searching for a way to revive me. However, I understand the principle that a dead person cannot be revived. Thus, I only pleaded for you to seal a part of my soul into your body.
Back then, when I was in your arms, I was attacked by Hollow. Your father and I guessed that he would be in your body. I hoped that I could help you when you were at the critical moment of your breakthrough. Now that my wish has been fulfilled and I have seen you grow up, I can disappear without worry. "
Kirito got up and looked at his mother. He squeezed out a big smile and said to his mother, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself, look after my good father, don't let him smoke, and take good care of my sister."
Kirito's mother's body slowly turned transparent. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Kirito and said, "I believe you. However, I originally wanted to see you get married and become a father. I wanted to know how you grew up. It seems that all of this is impossible. However, regardless of whether I am by your side or not, you have to remember that I really love you, my son."
Kirito used his arm to wipe away the tears on his face. He looked at his mother's body that was becoming more and more transparent. He smiled and said, "Mom, I love you too."
Kirito's mother held back her tears and hugged Kirito. Kirito closed his eyes and immersed himself in his mother's embrace. Just as he was about to hug her back, he touched Hollow. This made Kirito freeze, but he did not open his eyes and continued to maintain this posture. However, from a distance, he could only see himself standing there in a strange posture.
When Kirito regained consciousness, the sky was already bright. The light shone on Kirito's face. Kirito felt like he was in a dream. In the dream, his mother had left him forever. Just as Kirito thought of this, a drop of water dripped onto the bed. Kirito lifted his head curiously and was stunned. His face on the window was full of tears.
"So, the dream is real." The murmur could not hide the sadness in his voice.
As soon as Lisa came in, she saw Kirito's lifeless eyes. Tears kept flowing from Kirito's eyes.
She hurried to Kirito's side and asked anxiously, "Kirito?
Kirito, what's wrong with you?
Why are you crying? "
Kirito saw Lisa come in. He hurriedly wiped his eyes and said coldly, "Nothing."
Lisa still wanted to say something, but Masako Hirako also came in at this time. When she saw Kirito's appearance, she pulled Lisa and shook her head at her, indicating that she should not continue this topic. She could only remain silent and look at Kirito with some worry.
Masako Hirako pretended as if nothing had happened and said in a relaxed tone as usual, "We discussed for a while. What you need most now is to train your control of the void. In this regard, Lisa Yatsumaru's control is the best. When you are ready, come find us at the old place."
Kirito nodded, but did not look directly at the two. Instead, he looked out of the window and did not move. Masako Hirako and Lisa knew that Kirito was in an indescribable pain, so they forgave Kirito's rudeness and left without saying anything.
Kirito stopped crying. He just closed his eyes and thought quietly.
The next day, Lisa Ikegamaru was distracted by her trainer. Rokuka Kunishi looked at her with dissatisfaction and punched her head. Lisa Ikegamaru looked at him in pain and shouted angrily at him, "Kunishi, what are you doing? You know what harmony is, don't you?"
Rokuche Kenshi shrugged and said indifferently, "Who told you not to train seriously?"
Lisa Yatsumaru immediately retorted, "Who's not serious about training? I've always been like a real person, okay?"
Rokuche Kenshi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Are you kidding me?
My fist was about to hit your face, but you didn't notice it at all. If I were your enemy, you would have died under my fist long ago. "
Lisa Yatsumaru suddenly felt guilty. She avoided his eyes and said, "I won't be distracted during a real battle."
Rokuche Kenshi suddenly became serious. Just as he was about to lecture her, Lisa Yatsumaru quickly begged for mercy and said, "I know. Every battle should be treated seriously. You don't have to say anything."
Rokuche Kenshi rolled his eyes and said, "You have a good attitude, but you haven't changed at all."
Lisa Yatsumaru stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Okay, let's continue training."
Just as they were about to get into the zone, a familiar voice made Lisa Yatsumaru turn around.
"Sorry, I'm late." Kirito's apologetic voice came into everyone's ears.
Lisa Yatsumaru smiled at Kirito and thought to herself, "Kirito has pulled himself together again."
Masako Hirako walked over and patted Kirito's shoulder. "Good boy, you're finally here."
Kirito scratched his head and said, "Sorry for making you guys worry."
Masako Hirako shook her head and said, "Since you're here, let's start training."
Kirito turned around and looked at Lisa Yatsumaru. He smiled and said, "I'll be in your care."
Lisa Yatsumaru said to Rokuche Kenshi, "Kenshi, Masako told me to train Kirito. You can practice on your own."
Rokuche Kenshi didn't say anything. He nodded and went to train. Lisa Yatsumaru walked in front of Kirito. She didn't mention anything about the previous day. She just said to Kirito as usual, "You're going to train to control your mind when you're in the virtual state."
