My little brother and sister are so cute
Chapter 05
"Yu, Yui, am I okay now?"
Xiangta was a little nervous and took pictures of himself with his mobile phone, and said, "I just wore a helmet, did your hair get messed up?"
"Father, your hair is not very long, you can just change it casually."
Yui pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "This question has been asked 18 times."
"But……"
"It's been 10 minutes. Dad, you've been lingering in front of Mom's ward for 10 minutes... Hurry up and go in..."
When Shota came in from the hospital before, he happened to meet Yuki's father and his colleagues from the virtual class. They are going back to cooperate with the investigation of the RECT company case.And from them, Xiangta also learned that Asuna—that is, Asuna had awakened.
It's just that, while letting go of the two-month-old heart, Shota began to hesitate whether his image would be hated by Asuna, and began to organize there what should be said for the first meeting...
After all, this is the real first meeting between the two in the real world.
The current Xiangta is like a little boy who is about to go on a blind date for the first time—although this blind date has been "spiritual" for a long time, he still has a lot of tension and fear in anticipation.
"Dad, you really are."
"Okay, okay, last time." Xiangta looked at the phone and said, "Is there any problem?"
"Yes, there is no problem at all."
Yui gestured at the phone, but even she had already dressed up her virtual image beautifully.
Shota took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Use the key card."
"Oh, don't talk for a while, we will give Asuna a surprise then."
Shota paid attention to Yui, then pulled the key card with his hand, and when the door opened, he clenched his fist in a cheering manner, and walked in.
"that……"
"Don't come in..."
As soon as he entered the door, Shota saw that Asuna, who was supposed to be lying there, was now covering her whole body with a quilt.All over the body, only one hand still hanging on the drip was exposed.
"I'm sorry, I'll avoid it first."
Thinking that Asuna might be changing clothes, Shota hastily exited the room in embarrassment.
"do not go……"
Faced with Asuna's two demands that could not be met at the same time, for some reason, Shota's original nervousness also dissipated, he walked to Asuna's bed, looked at the bulging quilt and said softly: "Welcome home. "
After a long silence, Asuna's words came from under the quilt.
"I am back……"
Hearing Asuna's words, the melancholy that had troubled Shota for two months was instantly wiped out. He pursed his lips, feeling that something was about to flow out of his eye sockets, but he held back forcibly, and said in a low voice: " I miss you."
Some feelings will only gradually intensify over time.In the days without Asuna, Shota would dream of the time he had spent with her every night, and after this separation, Shota realized that his whole life, not only in the game, but also in reality I can't do without that chestnut-colored hair color, the girl who looks like a princess.
"Me too……"
Hearing her choked up voice, Shouta sighed, and stretched out his hand to pull down the quilt she had covered.
"No, I, I'm ugly...I can't let you see..."
Although it was true that she had been lying in bed for too long, Asuna was only a little thinner than she looked in the game.
"I just saw you a few hours ago. You are beautiful, even more beautiful than I imagined."
After Xiangta said something, he exposed his head for her, and then met her eyes that were still crying with tears.
"It's just that you don't think I'm not as good-looking as in the game."
Asuna looked at the man in front of her, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.
"No, it looks good." Asuna pursed her lips and looked at Shota, who was eager for approval, and said, "Like a big hero in a movie."
Shota smiled and adjusted Asuna's posture, leaning her pillow against her back, and then slowly reached out to wipe away the tears on her face.
The moment Shota's fingers touched Asuna's face, her body trembled slightly, but Shota understood it as her resistance, after all, this was the "first" meeting between the two...
"Don't let go..."
Asuna leaned her face on Shota's outstretched hand, and whispered: "It's different from the game... I can feel the palm prints, pulse, and... it's warmer than in the game."
Shota slowly thinned his hand back with a smile, then tightly held Asuna's thin but still beautiful hand on the bed, and said: "If you like it, then feel it more."
"Ah."
Asuna clasped Shota's fingers tightly with her backhand, as if wanting to engrave everything about him into her memory, replacing the feeling of Shota Kōdōryu in SAO with Shota Kosaka, the man in front of him who saved him again a feeling of.
"thanks……"
"There's no need to say thank you." Xiangta shook his head and said, "It's me who should apologize. If I could have earlier..."
"No, that's it, that's it, that's enough for me. To see you again, no matter how long it takes, I can get through it."
"do not Cry."
Shota wiped away the tears from Asuna's face again, seeing her tired look, said with some distress: "Let's sleep for a while. After all, my body is still very weak now."
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired just looking at you."
Asuna shook her head, finally seeing him, she didn't want to fall asleep again, for fear that if she fell asleep, she wouldn't be able to wake up again.
"Fool."
Xiangta patted her head and said, "Take a break. I will stay with you here, even for a moment, I will not leave."
"Really? I'm afraid it's a dream."
"This is not a dream." Xiangta twisted his own arm, showed a painful expression, then put on a smile, and said: "Look, it will hurt, how could it be a dream."
"Stupid, stupid. There is no one who twists himself..."
Asuna couldn't help laughing, then blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "I want to sleep next to you."
"Ah."
Shota tidied up his things, then sat on the head of the bed, let Asuna's head rest on his shoulder, and said, "Take a break. When you wake up, I'll make you something to eat." .”
"I want to eat the full spicy meal."
"No, at least I can't eat this until after I'm discharged from the hospital. Today I can only drink porridge."
"Um……"
It didn't take long to lean on Shota's shoulder, Asuna's breathing became gentle again, Shota's face lightly leaned against her head, feeling her temperature, her breathing, her heartbeat...
It's great to meet you... Asuna.
When Asuna woke up again, the sunset in the sky was pouring orange-red light into the room through the window, and she felt the breath and temperature around her. She knew that this would not be a dream, and the people around her were sure It's actually there.
So, a happy smile appeared on his face.
"are you awake?"
Shota had been sitting there motionless with Asuna, seeing the smile on Asuna's mouth, and said, "I dreamed of something good."
"I dreamed about our family of three in SAO."
After Asuna murmured softly, she realized that Shota had never mentioned the existence of their daughter Yui so far, so she asked nervously, "Yui, how is Yui?"
"Um……"
Shota had a mysterious smile on his face, and said, "Yui, say hello to mom..."
"..."
"Yuyi?"
"..."
Asuna looked at Shota who was talking to himself there, a little confused.
"out of battery?"
After Shota took out his phone, he found that the screen had fallen into a completely black screen. There was nothing he could do about it. Since he installed the <YUI> program, he basically used 2-3 batteries a day. No wonder Yui, who was sleeping while Asuna was sleeping, complained " Why hasn't mom asked me about it?" When I complained halfway through, it stopped...
Take out the spare battery, skillfully install the battery board, and then turn it on again. After a while, Shota handed the phone to Asuna and said, "Well, Yui is not convenient to go out, so I usually video chat with me, watching She can see you with the camera."
"Really, really?"
Asuna said with some surprise: "Yui, is she also with us?"
"Mom~"
After the phone was turned on, the original interface quickly disappeared and turned into a cute little girl. She smiled and said to Asuna who was holding the phone: "Welcome back, Dad and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Yiyi."
"Don't hug, just hold it in your hand, let Yui take a good look at you."
Shota stopped Asuna from holding the phone to her chest, and asked her to communicate with Yui face to face.
"Mom, let me tell you, during the past two months, Dad has never had anyone else in his heart except you, and he has no contact with other girls at all. I have completed the task very well, and the task of taking care of Dad will be handed over to Mommy."
"Well, well, I know, from now on, the two of us will stare at him together."
Asuna moved her head closer to Shouta, and then allowed Yui to look at the two of them through the camera, and said, "Yui, did you listen well when mom was away?"
"Now I want to listen to Yui. After all, to some extent, she has a higher status in the class than me." Shota laughed and joked, and then started talking about him and Yui with Asuna. experience during this time period.
"Uh-huh."
Asuna has been smiling while listening to Shota and Yui narrating the recent events to him, about the class at the same time, and Shota's blunt father, almost the two of them have some interesting things in the past two months. Everything was told.
"Although Dad's craftsmanship is very good, Yui also really wants to eat pineapple pie made by Mom..."
"When I recover from illness, I will make it for you..." After saying this, she felt a little regretful, because in the real world, she had no way to make food for Yui...
"Don't worry." Xiangta explained, "Although it's not good to ask you to wear a virtual helmet again, but now, we can only meet Yui in the virtual world."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of anything just to meet Yui." Asuna shook her head, then looked at Shota and said, "And, you will protect me, won't you?"
"Ah, is there any need to say that?"
Shota turned his head to look at Asuna, and the two looked at each other at close range again, and an ambiguous atmosphere suddenly spread between them.
Yui also tactfully did not make a sound.
Asuna slowly closed her eyes, holding her head up slightly.
Shota slowly stretched his hand behind Asuna's back, supported her head and slowly leaned towards him...
"Takasaka-kun~"
"Ah~"
With the sound of the door opening, Asuna's strength exploded out of nowhere and pushed Shota towards the record...
"Ah, isn't it time for me to come in?"
It was Kikuoka who came in from the virtual class. He looked at the girl pulling the quilt on the bed and the man on the bed who fell to the ground, nodded as if he had realized something, and said, "Then I will contact you later..."
"No, no need."
Shota rubbed his head, put the mobile phone dropped by Asuna back on the bed, then stood up and said to Kikuoka: "Senior, what's going on?"
Kikuoka glanced at Asuna, and Shota also knew about the RECT company. After all, her father was involved, so it might not be good to say it in front of her, so he apologized to her, and went out with Kikuoka out of the ward.
"Xuxiang has been captured, and the three senior researchers have revealed everything. All the players have been rescued together, and the memory of the experiment has been erased."
"Xu Xiang is not dead?"
Xiangta asked back with some doubts, he didn't die like this, there is really enough shit.
"Well, but there's water here and it's broken."
Kikuoka pointed to the head, and continued: "Although this guy got the retribution he deserved, but in contrast, there is no way to find the company they traded with. After all, only he knows the contact information."
"But if it's an American company, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Yes. However, even if this is the case, what should be investigated is still to be investigated." Jugang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Who made our lives miserable?"
"Then what happened to the RECT company and Yuki's father?"
"Mr. Yuki has been proven innocent. He is completely ignorant of this matter. It was only Sugo's idea to do that kind of experiment. As for RECT, since we have not made a public announcement, they have no problems for the time being. but……"
Kikuoka paused for a moment, and said: "Paper can't contain fire, now we can only take advantage of the fact that the public has not discovered the truth, and then investigate further. Therefore, even if it is an ALO game, we have not blocked it. After all , They can only rely on NERvGear for their experiments, AmuSphere is still relatively safe. However, even if this is the case, I estimate that the delay will not exceed a week."
"In order not to startle the snake?"
"Yes. In order to arrest all relevant personnel together, this is the only way we can."
Kikuoka sighed, smiled and said to Shota: "How is it? I know you think Miss Yuki joined the virtual class. Now that the princess has been successfully rescued, are you interested in continuing?"
"I guess I don't have the heart to deal with the copywriting anymore."
Xiangta smiled and told the truth. After all, after the goal has been achieved, he will definitely not focus on work like before.I need to accompany my neglected family, friends, and Asuna.
"No, the boss is preparing to set up a special operations team to be responsible for the virtual and real violence cases caused by virtual games." Kikuoka said with a smile: "Are you interested in being a leader?"
"Eh? Is this okay?"
"After all, the credit for this time is almost yours alone. It is normal to be able to solve this matter smoothly, even if it is even a few levels up. It's just that we have found a position that is more suitable for you."
"It's better to be respectful than to obey."
Shota smiled and agreed. Now, although he does not enter the game again to save people, he can cook for his beloved daughter in the game. This alone makes it impossible for him to leave the virtual world forever. online games.
"Well. That's good. The letter of appointment and the letter of commendation will come out tomorrow. Yes, that's right." Kikuoka slapped his head and said, "Guess who I met before?"
"Who?"
"Master Liu and Master Pei."
"what?"
Shouta opened his mouth wide, he was so nervous that he stammered and said: "He, he, he, they, come, come to Japan?"
"Ah. Yes, they fished out Xuxiang. They caught a shark by the way. It's a pity that there are many unfamiliar people around. Otherwise, I really want to taste Master Liu's craftsmanship. It's a big shark." ah."
"Where are they now?"
"Well... it's on the ground floor of the hospital. They said they came to see you, so I brought them here. Anyway, you'll be off work in a while. By the way, why don't you invite me to your house for a meal today?"
Before Kikuoka finished speaking, Shota ran back into Asuna's ward without saying a word, and said to her, "Sorry, Asuna, I have to run for my life."
"what? What?"
Asuna didn't react immediately.
"I'll leave Yui to you. The battery boards are in my coat next to the bed." Shota said to Asuna as if making a will, "If, I mean if, I didn't come to you tomorrow morning..."
"Please come to Shennongjia in China and save me!"
Before he finished speaking, Shota tore the curtains and tied them into ropes. After fixing them in the room, he stood on the window sill and said to Asuna, "Goodbye."
With that said, he jumped off the building.
"Shota!"
Asuna wanted to get up from the bed, but Kikuoka ran to the window to see the situation before her.
"Hey, is this a monster? This is the sixth floor."
Kikuoka saw that Shota, who was falling with the curtains pulled, stopped at a higher place on the second floor, then let go of his hand, hung directly on the tree downstairs, and then ran towards his motorcycle without stopping.
"Hey, how scary are those two monsters, can they make this little monster so scared?"
After Kikuoka muttered something to himself, he quickly turned around and explained to the frightened Asuna.
At the same time, in the lobby on the ground floor of the hospital.
"Ok?"
The two middle-aged men suddenly opened their eyes.
"I smelled him and started moving."
Liu whispered something.
"It's okay. He should have fallen on the tree I designed the trap just now. It's still the same. He likes to jump off buildings when he encounters tense things."
Bell laughed, and said to the person beside him who had already taken out a spoon from the toolbox, "Shall we go?"
"It's time to exercise."
Liu smiled, and Bell and Bell chased directly towards Shota's location.
As a result, they saw Shota riding a motorcycle and leaving directly.
"Damn it, you brat."
Bell locked on a car parked there beside him without saying a word, and said, "Wait for me a while, I'll get the car..."
"Forget it, Bell, well, after all, we are abroad now."
Liu stopped Bell, who wanted to steal the car, and said, "Can't we just wait at his house?"
"Are you waiting for the rabbit?"
"Effortless and effective, isn't it?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha."
--------
It's over, it's over, I'm definitely going to be arrested this time, being trapped in the game for two years is such a shameful thing, being caught by Master Bell will definitely require special training.In addition, I haven't had time to practice cooking recently, and my level has dropped a lot. If I am caught by Master Liu, I will definitely be criticized for a while.
Shota's shirt had already been painted when he jumped his head - stepped on a colorful trap designed by someone, and now it has been dyed green with green fuel.Of course, he had no time to think about these things for a long time, and now he was only thinking about where it would be better to escape.
Edge of space?It may be a little bit more stable, and I can’t go to home for the time being, virtual class?Forget it, I won't go there today, after all, that guy from Kikuoka brought me here...
Go to the store owned by Agil, whose real name is Andrew.
Dicey. Cafe.
"Welcome... Isn't this Shota? How did it get like this?"
The big man Agil, who was walking towards the guests with his things, was stunned for a moment when he saw the person at the door, and asked, "What happened?"
"Come here to take refuge here, borrow a piece of clothing first."
Shota took off the colorful shirt, and then Agil took a casual coat for him to put on.
"Have a cup of coconut milk."
"I said, Xiangta, don't order such things from me?"
Agil saw that the sorrow on Shota's face had disappeared a lot, and he was a bit like him in the game before, so he guessed in his heart that something good happened to this guy, and joked to him: "Why don't you have some wine? "
"I only drink liquor."
Shota glanced at Agil, and said, "If you have anything, take it out."
"Boom."
Agil really took out a bottle of liquor and put it in front of Shota.
"Well...you can make do with it. Why don't you order some appetizers?"
Xiangta felt that it was necessary to embolden himself with wine.
"I'll get it for you later." Agil looked at Shota and said, "Tell me first, did something good happen to you? Any news about Asuna?"
"Ah, well, she has woken up."
Shota nodded, and said to Agil: "You guys are worried about the front-end time, please help inform Kirito and the others of the news?"
As he said that, he directly took a big gulp of white wine.
"So fast?"
Agil was a little surprised and said, "When did it happen?"
"One and a half hours after you gave me the photo, Asuna woke up. I just came from the hospital."
"Tsk, it's too fast. It's a pity that Kirito still wants to..."
"Kirito? What's wrong with him?" Xiangta asked with some doubts: "Did something happen again?"
"You also know that he still feels guilty towards you now."
"That's it? I don't mind anymore, does he still mind? Besides, without him, all players might still be trapped in SAO." Xiangta curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Sure enough, he is still a child Ah, I thought he'd grown up. And then?"
"Then...knowing that Asuna might be in ALO, he decided to enter the game by himself to find evidence for you."
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Shota was choked, and then said: "He entered the virtual world again?"
For these survivors, most of them decided not to enter the game anymore, because the memories were too bad.It took a lot of courage to put on that helmet again.
Of course, Shota is different, that's his job, and how he found Asuna before.
"Well, with his temperament, he is probably heading towards the World Tree now. However, now it seems that he is going to become futile again. Let me go and talk to him."
"and many more."
Xiangta stretched out his hand to stop Agil's movement, and said: "After he knows that he has not done his best, how will he see me in the future? Continue to hide like the previous two months? Or act shyly like a girl when he sees me Are you about to cry with a sad face?"
"Maybe. After all, the situation at that time touched his heart too much. Moreover, even if you go to explain it to him, the more relieved you are, the harder it will be for him to let go. After all, he has always thought that you are still alive, just Treat it like a miracle."
"You can't let him sink forever, can you?"
Xiangta asked back: "To be honest, I am also responsible. After all, it is really not good for a minor to do this kind of thing. If I die, maybe he will feel relieved."
"But there is no way, there are always some things that he needs to figure out for himself. None of us can do anything, even Liz, can't help in this regard?"
"Agil, oh, Andrew, do you think he'll be better off if he 'finds' Asuna for me?"
"At least it will be much better than it is now. It's a pity... wait, Shota, don't you want to lie to him for a while?"
"Ah. It will definitely take a few days for the news to come out. There are some things in our area that have temporarily suppressed this matter. If this is the case, it would be nice to let him 'do something', but, Andrew, you must not Let anyone know. Even if Kirito knows that other people are awake, you must tell him that Asuna is still asleep. After all, I can't watch him sink like this."
"Is it possible to do such a thing?"
"Of course." Xiangta took a sip of wine and continued: "Whoever made me a privileged class now, let's treat it as a play and let him make up for his regret and remorse."
"Ok."
Agil nodded and said, "I know what to do."
--------------
ALO.
"I want to go to the top of the world tree."
The black-haired shadow elf whose character is Kirito and the female player named Lyfa who he rescued by himself said, "What should I do?"
"Eh? This is the most longing for all ALO players, and it is also the most difficult task. So far, no one has been able to achieve it."
Lyfa explained: "Inside the World Tree, there is a huge semi-circular building near the root, and there is an entrance on it. From where you can enter, you can start climbing from the inside, but there is a strong guard army stationed there. So far, many races have launched many challenges, but they all ended in total annihilation."
"Moreover, the game has only been on the server for more than a year, how could it be so easy for everyone to pass the level."
"In other words, is it difficult to climb the World Tree?"
"At least for now, it's impossible. In my estimation, in another year or so..."
"That would be too late!" Kirito yelled in a low voice.Lyfa looked up in surprise, and found that Kirito's eyebrows were furrowed, his mouth was trembling, and his teeth were clenched.
"Sorry to scare you."
Kirito took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "It's just me, no matter what, I have to go to the World Tree."
The girl was attracted by Kirito's resolute and regretful eyes, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you so persistent?"
"Because I owe someone my life... Only by going there can I repay... no, it's to alleviate my guilt towards him."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't explain the specific situation. Thank you, Lyfa, for telling me so much, it's really helpful. I'm full. It's great to be the first to see you in this world."
Kirito stood up, confirmed the direction of the World Tree, and said, "I have to go."
"Wait, if you really want to go, then take me with you."
"Eh?"
"However, this, you don't have to help someone you meet for the first time to this extent..."
"Yes, I have already decided!!"
Lyfa turned her head to hide her blushing cheeks. In ALO, because it has wings and can fly, there are no other teleportation methods at all.So going to "Allen", the capital of ALfheim where the world tree grows, is like a small trip in the real world.Moreover, Lyfa herself felt incredible that she would propose to go with this boy whom she had just met for a few hours.
"Thank you so much."
A smile slowly appeared on Kirito's face.
--------
"Mom, these two were my brother's teachers when he was in China."
Kyosuke, who served as an English translator, said to Kano's mother who was sitting beside her and looking at the two foreign friends: "They said that my brother still has something to do, so let them come back first?"
"Ah, is it Shota's teacher? Then you have to treat him well."
Kano's mother nodded and was about to go to the kitchen when she heard two foreigners muttering something again.
"Well, Mom, this Chinese master said that Xiangta's cooking skills were taught by him. If possible, he is willing to show you."
"Really? Shota's master? Then at least a table of dishes will cost hundreds of thousands of yen? Wait, Kyousuke, tell this master, Master Liu to wait, I will go to buy some dishes and come back at least..."
The two foreigners chattered for a while.
"Well, Mom, this British master said that he has a cart of food outside, and he seems to have 'bought' it along the way. If you don't mind, you can use these for cooking."
"Really? That's great. Shota's teacher is really a good person. Ask your dad to call and urge you to kill your brother, and you will be my interpreter here."
Kano's mother warmly entertained Shota's masters.
"Hey."
Daisuke's father sighed for some reason, took out his old mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed Shota's number.
"Shota, you kid, hurry home, your masters are here, what are you doing outside?!"
"Well, Shota... didn't bring his mobile phone..."
The gentle girl's voice from the other end of the conversation made Daisuke's father blush, and he sat up straight in an instant, and asked sternly, "I'm sorry, may I ask who you are?"
"Ah~ I'm Shota's... friend, um, Yuuki Asuna."
"puff."
Difficult, could it be that the girl has woken up?
Daisuke's father's hands trembled, and he said nervously: "Hello, hello, I heard Xiangta often mentioned you, I am his father..."
"Hello, uncle."
"Hello……"
"Hee hee, it's the first time talking to mom, grandpa, are you nervous?"
Yui's voice came from the other end of the phone, Daisuke's father blushed and said, "I'm not nervous!"
"What's the matter? Husband? Leave the phone to me."
Kano's mother, who found something wrong, answered the phone, and after saying "Hello", a smile bloomed on her face...
Xiangta was a little nervous and took pictures of himself with his mobile phone, and said, "I just wore a helmet, did your hair get messed up?"
"Father, your hair is not very long, you can just change it casually."
Yui pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "This question has been asked 18 times."
"But……"
"It's been 10 minutes. Dad, you've been lingering in front of Mom's ward for 10 minutes... Hurry up and go in..."
When Shota came in from the hospital before, he happened to meet Yuki's father and his colleagues from the virtual class. They are going back to cooperate with the investigation of the RECT company case.And from them, Xiangta also learned that Asuna—that is, Asuna had awakened.
It's just that, while letting go of the two-month-old heart, Shota began to hesitate whether his image would be hated by Asuna, and began to organize there what should be said for the first meeting...
After all, this is the real first meeting between the two in the real world.
The current Xiangta is like a little boy who is about to go on a blind date for the first time—although this blind date has been "spiritual" for a long time, he still has a lot of tension and fear in anticipation.
"Dad, you really are."
"Okay, okay, last time." Xiangta looked at the phone and said, "Is there any problem?"
"Yes, there is no problem at all."
Yui gestured at the phone, but even she had already dressed up her virtual image beautifully.
Shota took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Use the key card."
"Oh, don't talk for a while, we will give Asuna a surprise then."
Shota paid attention to Yui, then pulled the key card with his hand, and when the door opened, he clenched his fist in a cheering manner, and walked in.
"that……"
"Don't come in..."
As soon as he entered the door, Shota saw that Asuna, who was supposed to be lying there, was now covering her whole body with a quilt.All over the body, only one hand still hanging on the drip was exposed.
"I'm sorry, I'll avoid it first."
Thinking that Asuna might be changing clothes, Shota hastily exited the room in embarrassment.
"do not go……"
Faced with Asuna's two demands that could not be met at the same time, for some reason, Shota's original nervousness also dissipated, he walked to Asuna's bed, looked at the bulging quilt and said softly: "Welcome home. "
After a long silence, Asuna's words came from under the quilt.
"I am back……"
Hearing Asuna's words, the melancholy that had troubled Shota for two months was instantly wiped out. He pursed his lips, feeling that something was about to flow out of his eye sockets, but he held back forcibly, and said in a low voice: " I miss you."
Some feelings will only gradually intensify over time.In the days without Asuna, Shota would dream of the time he had spent with her every night, and after this separation, Shota realized that his whole life, not only in the game, but also in reality I can't do without that chestnut-colored hair color, the girl who looks like a princess.
"Me too……"
Hearing her choked up voice, Shouta sighed, and stretched out his hand to pull down the quilt she had covered.
"No, I, I'm ugly...I can't let you see..."
Although it was true that she had been lying in bed for too long, Asuna was only a little thinner than she looked in the game.
"I just saw you a few hours ago. You are beautiful, even more beautiful than I imagined."
After Xiangta said something, he exposed his head for her, and then met her eyes that were still crying with tears.
"It's just that you don't think I'm not as good-looking as in the game."
Asuna looked at the man in front of her, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.
"No, it looks good." Asuna pursed her lips and looked at Shota, who was eager for approval, and said, "Like a big hero in a movie."
Shota smiled and adjusted Asuna's posture, leaning her pillow against her back, and then slowly reached out to wipe away the tears on her face.
The moment Shota's fingers touched Asuna's face, her body trembled slightly, but Shota understood it as her resistance, after all, this was the "first" meeting between the two...
"Don't let go..."
Asuna leaned her face on Shota's outstretched hand, and whispered: "It's different from the game... I can feel the palm prints, pulse, and... it's warmer than in the game."
Shota slowly thinned his hand back with a smile, then tightly held Asuna's thin but still beautiful hand on the bed, and said: "If you like it, then feel it more."
"Ah."
Asuna clasped Shota's fingers tightly with her backhand, as if wanting to engrave everything about him into her memory, replacing the feeling of Shota Kōdōryu in SAO with Shota Kosaka, the man in front of him who saved him again a feeling of.
"thanks……"
"There's no need to say thank you." Xiangta shook his head and said, "It's me who should apologize. If I could have earlier..."
"No, that's it, that's it, that's enough for me. To see you again, no matter how long it takes, I can get through it."
"do not Cry."
Shota wiped away the tears from Asuna's face again, seeing her tired look, said with some distress: "Let's sleep for a while. After all, my body is still very weak now."
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired just looking at you."
Asuna shook her head, finally seeing him, she didn't want to fall asleep again, for fear that if she fell asleep, she wouldn't be able to wake up again.
"Fool."
Xiangta patted her head and said, "Take a break. I will stay with you here, even for a moment, I will not leave."
"Really? I'm afraid it's a dream."
"This is not a dream." Xiangta twisted his own arm, showed a painful expression, then put on a smile, and said: "Look, it will hurt, how could it be a dream."
"Stupid, stupid. There is no one who twists himself..."
Asuna couldn't help laughing, then blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "I want to sleep next to you."
"Ah."
Shota tidied up his things, then sat on the head of the bed, let Asuna's head rest on his shoulder, and said, "Take a break. When you wake up, I'll make you something to eat." .”
"I want to eat the full spicy meal."
"No, at least I can't eat this until after I'm discharged from the hospital. Today I can only drink porridge."
"Um……"
It didn't take long to lean on Shota's shoulder, Asuna's breathing became gentle again, Shota's face lightly leaned against her head, feeling her temperature, her breathing, her heartbeat...
It's great to meet you... Asuna.
When Asuna woke up again, the sunset in the sky was pouring orange-red light into the room through the window, and she felt the breath and temperature around her. She knew that this would not be a dream, and the people around her were sure It's actually there.
So, a happy smile appeared on his face.
"are you awake?"
Shota had been sitting there motionless with Asuna, seeing the smile on Asuna's mouth, and said, "I dreamed of something good."
"I dreamed about our family of three in SAO."
After Asuna murmured softly, she realized that Shota had never mentioned the existence of their daughter Yui so far, so she asked nervously, "Yui, how is Yui?"
"Um……"
Shota had a mysterious smile on his face, and said, "Yui, say hello to mom..."
"..."
"Yuyi?"
"..."
Asuna looked at Shota who was talking to himself there, a little confused.
"out of battery?"
After Shota took out his phone, he found that the screen had fallen into a completely black screen. There was nothing he could do about it. Since he installed the <YUI> program, he basically used 2-3 batteries a day. No wonder Yui, who was sleeping while Asuna was sleeping, complained " Why hasn't mom asked me about it?" When I complained halfway through, it stopped...
Take out the spare battery, skillfully install the battery board, and then turn it on again. After a while, Shota handed the phone to Asuna and said, "Well, Yui is not convenient to go out, so I usually video chat with me, watching She can see you with the camera."
"Really, really?"
Asuna said with some surprise: "Yui, is she also with us?"
"Mom~"
After the phone was turned on, the original interface quickly disappeared and turned into a cute little girl. She smiled and said to Asuna who was holding the phone: "Welcome back, Dad and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Yiyi."
"Don't hug, just hold it in your hand, let Yui take a good look at you."
Shota stopped Asuna from holding the phone to her chest, and asked her to communicate with Yui face to face.
"Mom, let me tell you, during the past two months, Dad has never had anyone else in his heart except you, and he has no contact with other girls at all. I have completed the task very well, and the task of taking care of Dad will be handed over to Mommy."
"Well, well, I know, from now on, the two of us will stare at him together."
Asuna moved her head closer to Shouta, and then allowed Yui to look at the two of them through the camera, and said, "Yui, did you listen well when mom was away?"
"Now I want to listen to Yui. After all, to some extent, she has a higher status in the class than me." Shota laughed and joked, and then started talking about him and Yui with Asuna. experience during this time period.
"Uh-huh."
Asuna has been smiling while listening to Shota and Yui narrating the recent events to him, about the class at the same time, and Shota's blunt father, almost the two of them have some interesting things in the past two months. Everything was told.
"Although Dad's craftsmanship is very good, Yui also really wants to eat pineapple pie made by Mom..."
"When I recover from illness, I will make it for you..." After saying this, she felt a little regretful, because in the real world, she had no way to make food for Yui...
"Don't worry." Xiangta explained, "Although it's not good to ask you to wear a virtual helmet again, but now, we can only meet Yui in the virtual world."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of anything just to meet Yui." Asuna shook her head, then looked at Shota and said, "And, you will protect me, won't you?"
"Ah, is there any need to say that?"
Shota turned his head to look at Asuna, and the two looked at each other at close range again, and an ambiguous atmosphere suddenly spread between them.
Yui also tactfully did not make a sound.
Asuna slowly closed her eyes, holding her head up slightly.
Shota slowly stretched his hand behind Asuna's back, supported her head and slowly leaned towards him...
"Takasaka-kun~"
"Ah~"
With the sound of the door opening, Asuna's strength exploded out of nowhere and pushed Shota towards the record...
"Ah, isn't it time for me to come in?"
It was Kikuoka who came in from the virtual class. He looked at the girl pulling the quilt on the bed and the man on the bed who fell to the ground, nodded as if he had realized something, and said, "Then I will contact you later..."
"No, no need."
Shota rubbed his head, put the mobile phone dropped by Asuna back on the bed, then stood up and said to Kikuoka: "Senior, what's going on?"
Kikuoka glanced at Asuna, and Shota also knew about the RECT company. After all, her father was involved, so it might not be good to say it in front of her, so he apologized to her, and went out with Kikuoka out of the ward.
"Xuxiang has been captured, and the three senior researchers have revealed everything. All the players have been rescued together, and the memory of the experiment has been erased."
"Xu Xiang is not dead?"
Xiangta asked back with some doubts, he didn't die like this, there is really enough shit.
"Well, but there's water here and it's broken."
Kikuoka pointed to the head, and continued: "Although this guy got the retribution he deserved, but in contrast, there is no way to find the company they traded with. After all, only he knows the contact information."
"But if it's an American company, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Yes. However, even if this is the case, what should be investigated is still to be investigated." Jugang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Who made our lives miserable?"
"Then what happened to the RECT company and Yuki's father?"
"Mr. Yuki has been proven innocent. He is completely ignorant of this matter. It was only Sugo's idea to do that kind of experiment. As for RECT, since we have not made a public announcement, they have no problems for the time being. but……"
Kikuoka paused for a moment, and said: "Paper can't contain fire, now we can only take advantage of the fact that the public has not discovered the truth, and then investigate further. Therefore, even if it is an ALO game, we have not blocked it. After all , They can only rely on NERvGear for their experiments, AmuSphere is still relatively safe. However, even if this is the case, I estimate that the delay will not exceed a week."
"In order not to startle the snake?"
"Yes. In order to arrest all relevant personnel together, this is the only way we can."
Kikuoka sighed, smiled and said to Shota: "How is it? I know you think Miss Yuki joined the virtual class. Now that the princess has been successfully rescued, are you interested in continuing?"
"I guess I don't have the heart to deal with the copywriting anymore."
Xiangta smiled and told the truth. After all, after the goal has been achieved, he will definitely not focus on work like before.I need to accompany my neglected family, friends, and Asuna.
"No, the boss is preparing to set up a special operations team to be responsible for the virtual and real violence cases caused by virtual games." Kikuoka said with a smile: "Are you interested in being a leader?"
"Eh? Is this okay?"
"After all, the credit for this time is almost yours alone. It is normal to be able to solve this matter smoothly, even if it is even a few levels up. It's just that we have found a position that is more suitable for you."
"It's better to be respectful than to obey."
Shota smiled and agreed. Now, although he does not enter the game again to save people, he can cook for his beloved daughter in the game. This alone makes it impossible for him to leave the virtual world forever. online games.
"Well. That's good. The letter of appointment and the letter of commendation will come out tomorrow. Yes, that's right." Kikuoka slapped his head and said, "Guess who I met before?"
"Who?"
"Master Liu and Master Pei."
"what?"
Shouta opened his mouth wide, he was so nervous that he stammered and said: "He, he, he, they, come, come to Japan?"
"Ah. Yes, they fished out Xuxiang. They caught a shark by the way. It's a pity that there are many unfamiliar people around. Otherwise, I really want to taste Master Liu's craftsmanship. It's a big shark." ah."
"Where are they now?"
"Well... it's on the ground floor of the hospital. They said they came to see you, so I brought them here. Anyway, you'll be off work in a while. By the way, why don't you invite me to your house for a meal today?"
Before Kikuoka finished speaking, Shota ran back into Asuna's ward without saying a word, and said to her, "Sorry, Asuna, I have to run for my life."
"what? What?"
Asuna didn't react immediately.
"I'll leave Yui to you. The battery boards are in my coat next to the bed." Shota said to Asuna as if making a will, "If, I mean if, I didn't come to you tomorrow morning..."
"Please come to Shennongjia in China and save me!"
Before he finished speaking, Shota tore the curtains and tied them into ropes. After fixing them in the room, he stood on the window sill and said to Asuna, "Goodbye."
With that said, he jumped off the building.
"Shota!"
Asuna wanted to get up from the bed, but Kikuoka ran to the window to see the situation before her.
"Hey, is this a monster? This is the sixth floor."
Kikuoka saw that Shota, who was falling with the curtains pulled, stopped at a higher place on the second floor, then let go of his hand, hung directly on the tree downstairs, and then ran towards his motorcycle without stopping.
"Hey, how scary are those two monsters, can they make this little monster so scared?"
After Kikuoka muttered something to himself, he quickly turned around and explained to the frightened Asuna.
At the same time, in the lobby on the ground floor of the hospital.
"Ok?"
The two middle-aged men suddenly opened their eyes.
"I smelled him and started moving."
Liu whispered something.
"It's okay. He should have fallen on the tree I designed the trap just now. It's still the same. He likes to jump off buildings when he encounters tense things."
Bell laughed, and said to the person beside him who had already taken out a spoon from the toolbox, "Shall we go?"
"It's time to exercise."
Liu smiled, and Bell and Bell chased directly towards Shota's location.
As a result, they saw Shota riding a motorcycle and leaving directly.
"Damn it, you brat."
Bell locked on a car parked there beside him without saying a word, and said, "Wait for me a while, I'll get the car..."
"Forget it, Bell, well, after all, we are abroad now."
Liu stopped Bell, who wanted to steal the car, and said, "Can't we just wait at his house?"
"Are you waiting for the rabbit?"
"Effortless and effective, isn't it?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha."
--------
It's over, it's over, I'm definitely going to be arrested this time, being trapped in the game for two years is such a shameful thing, being caught by Master Bell will definitely require special training.In addition, I haven't had time to practice cooking recently, and my level has dropped a lot. If I am caught by Master Liu, I will definitely be criticized for a while.
Shota's shirt had already been painted when he jumped his head - stepped on a colorful trap designed by someone, and now it has been dyed green with green fuel.Of course, he had no time to think about these things for a long time, and now he was only thinking about where it would be better to escape.
Edge of space?It may be a little bit more stable, and I can’t go to home for the time being, virtual class?Forget it, I won't go there today, after all, that guy from Kikuoka brought me here...
Go to the store owned by Agil, whose real name is Andrew.
Dicey. Cafe.
"Welcome... Isn't this Shota? How did it get like this?"
The big man Agil, who was walking towards the guests with his things, was stunned for a moment when he saw the person at the door, and asked, "What happened?"
"Come here to take refuge here, borrow a piece of clothing first."
Shota took off the colorful shirt, and then Agil took a casual coat for him to put on.
"Have a cup of coconut milk."
"I said, Xiangta, don't order such things from me?"
Agil saw that the sorrow on Shota's face had disappeared a lot, and he was a bit like him in the game before, so he guessed in his heart that something good happened to this guy, and joked to him: "Why don't you have some wine? "
"I only drink liquor."
Shota glanced at Agil, and said, "If you have anything, take it out."
"Boom."
Agil really took out a bottle of liquor and put it in front of Shota.
"Well...you can make do with it. Why don't you order some appetizers?"
Xiangta felt that it was necessary to embolden himself with wine.
"I'll get it for you later." Agil looked at Shota and said, "Tell me first, did something good happen to you? Any news about Asuna?"
"Ah, well, she has woken up."
Shota nodded, and said to Agil: "You guys are worried about the front-end time, please help inform Kirito and the others of the news?"
As he said that, he directly took a big gulp of white wine.
"So fast?"
Agil was a little surprised and said, "When did it happen?"
"One and a half hours after you gave me the photo, Asuna woke up. I just came from the hospital."
"Tsk, it's too fast. It's a pity that Kirito still wants to..."
"Kirito? What's wrong with him?" Xiangta asked with some doubts: "Did something happen again?"
"You also know that he still feels guilty towards you now."
"That's it? I don't mind anymore, does he still mind? Besides, without him, all players might still be trapped in SAO." Xiangta curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Sure enough, he is still a child Ah, I thought he'd grown up. And then?"
"Then...knowing that Asuna might be in ALO, he decided to enter the game by himself to find evidence for you."
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Shota was choked, and then said: "He entered the virtual world again?"
For these survivors, most of them decided not to enter the game anymore, because the memories were too bad.It took a lot of courage to put on that helmet again.
Of course, Shota is different, that's his job, and how he found Asuna before.
"Well, with his temperament, he is probably heading towards the World Tree now. However, now it seems that he is going to become futile again. Let me go and talk to him."
"and many more."
Xiangta stretched out his hand to stop Agil's movement, and said: "After he knows that he has not done his best, how will he see me in the future? Continue to hide like the previous two months? Or act shyly like a girl when he sees me Are you about to cry with a sad face?"
"Maybe. After all, the situation at that time touched his heart too much. Moreover, even if you go to explain it to him, the more relieved you are, the harder it will be for him to let go. After all, he has always thought that you are still alive, just Treat it like a miracle."
"You can't let him sink forever, can you?"
Xiangta asked back: "To be honest, I am also responsible. After all, it is really not good for a minor to do this kind of thing. If I die, maybe he will feel relieved."
"But there is no way, there are always some things that he needs to figure out for himself. None of us can do anything, even Liz, can't help in this regard?"
"Agil, oh, Andrew, do you think he'll be better off if he 'finds' Asuna for me?"
"At least it will be much better than it is now. It's a pity... wait, Shota, don't you want to lie to him for a while?"
"Ah. It will definitely take a few days for the news to come out. There are some things in our area that have temporarily suppressed this matter. If this is the case, it would be nice to let him 'do something', but, Andrew, you must not Let anyone know. Even if Kirito knows that other people are awake, you must tell him that Asuna is still asleep. After all, I can't watch him sink like this."
"Is it possible to do such a thing?"
"Of course." Xiangta took a sip of wine and continued: "Whoever made me a privileged class now, let's treat it as a play and let him make up for his regret and remorse."
"Ok."
Agil nodded and said, "I know what to do."
--------------
ALO.
"I want to go to the top of the world tree."
The black-haired shadow elf whose character is Kirito and the female player named Lyfa who he rescued by himself said, "What should I do?"
"Eh? This is the most longing for all ALO players, and it is also the most difficult task. So far, no one has been able to achieve it."
Lyfa explained: "Inside the World Tree, there is a huge semi-circular building near the root, and there is an entrance on it. From where you can enter, you can start climbing from the inside, but there is a strong guard army stationed there. So far, many races have launched many challenges, but they all ended in total annihilation."
"Moreover, the game has only been on the server for more than a year, how could it be so easy for everyone to pass the level."
"In other words, is it difficult to climb the World Tree?"
"At least for now, it's impossible. In my estimation, in another year or so..."
"That would be too late!" Kirito yelled in a low voice.Lyfa looked up in surprise, and found that Kirito's eyebrows were furrowed, his mouth was trembling, and his teeth were clenched.
"Sorry to scare you."
Kirito took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "It's just me, no matter what, I have to go to the World Tree."
The girl was attracted by Kirito's resolute and regretful eyes, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you so persistent?"
"Because I owe someone my life... Only by going there can I repay... no, it's to alleviate my guilt towards him."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't explain the specific situation. Thank you, Lyfa, for telling me so much, it's really helpful. I'm full. It's great to be the first to see you in this world."
Kirito stood up, confirmed the direction of the World Tree, and said, "I have to go."
"Wait, if you really want to go, then take me with you."
"Eh?"
"However, this, you don't have to help someone you meet for the first time to this extent..."
"Yes, I have already decided!!"
Lyfa turned her head to hide her blushing cheeks. In ALO, because it has wings and can fly, there are no other teleportation methods at all.So going to "Allen", the capital of ALfheim where the world tree grows, is like a small trip in the real world.Moreover, Lyfa herself felt incredible that she would propose to go with this boy whom she had just met for a few hours.
"Thank you so much."
A smile slowly appeared on Kirito's face.
--------
"Mom, these two were my brother's teachers when he was in China."
Kyosuke, who served as an English translator, said to Kano's mother who was sitting beside her and looking at the two foreign friends: "They said that my brother still has something to do, so let them come back first?"
"Ah, is it Shota's teacher? Then you have to treat him well."
Kano's mother nodded and was about to go to the kitchen when she heard two foreigners muttering something again.
"Well, Mom, this Chinese master said that Xiangta's cooking skills were taught by him. If possible, he is willing to show you."
"Really? Shota's master? Then at least a table of dishes will cost hundreds of thousands of yen? Wait, Kyousuke, tell this master, Master Liu to wait, I will go to buy some dishes and come back at least..."
The two foreigners chattered for a while.
"Well, Mom, this British master said that he has a cart of food outside, and he seems to have 'bought' it along the way. If you don't mind, you can use these for cooking."
"Really? That's great. Shota's teacher is really a good person. Ask your dad to call and urge you to kill your brother, and you will be my interpreter here."
Kano's mother warmly entertained Shota's masters.
"Hey."
Daisuke's father sighed for some reason, took out his old mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed Shota's number.
"Shota, you kid, hurry home, your masters are here, what are you doing outside?!"
"Well, Shota... didn't bring his mobile phone..."
The gentle girl's voice from the other end of the conversation made Daisuke's father blush, and he sat up straight in an instant, and asked sternly, "I'm sorry, may I ask who you are?"
"Ah~ I'm Shota's... friend, um, Yuuki Asuna."
"puff."
Difficult, could it be that the girl has woken up?
Daisuke's father's hands trembled, and he said nervously: "Hello, hello, I heard Xiangta often mentioned you, I am his father..."
"Hello, uncle."
"Hello……"
"Hee hee, it's the first time talking to mom, grandpa, are you nervous?"
Yui's voice came from the other end of the phone, Daisuke's father blushed and said, "I'm not nervous!"
"What's the matter? Husband? Leave the phone to me."
Kano's mother, who found something wrong, answered the phone, and after saying "Hello", a smile bloomed on her face...
