"I am back."

Temporarily placed the rapier in her hand next to the shoe cabinet and put on slippers, Asuna walked into the wide silent hall with the twinkling light.

Deserted and depressed, Asuna could not feel any humanity in this so-called own home.

In the past six months, sometimes Asuna would rather go to Xie Ming's unoccupied room to clean up, decorate and decorate the room, than to return to this people's home.

Because even if there is no one there, it is still warm. And this home, even if it is spacious and luxurious, full of high-tech furniture, but lacks the human touch that Asuna wants and needs most.

Asuna, who has received elite education since she was a child, just mechanically satisfies the expectations of her family and walks on the path of life arranged for her by her parents. She did not have any doubts about it, and silently accepted it.

Being imprisoned in SAO, the reason why she became the ghost of the early Raiders was only because of her unwillingness to admit defeat and the desire to return to the original trajectory of her life.

But even Xie Ming has the limit to withstand pressure. What's more, is an ordinary girl?

Crazy monster spawning and leveling, pursuing high-efficiency and high-safety strategies. At that time, the "Flashing Asuna" was not shining with the warm light that can heal people's hearts, but the cold light reflected from her blade. .

But there is one person, Biasna is crazier, heavier, and more desperate.

At that time, Ming Xie had the idea of ​​saving SAO players from the world as soon as possible, and only had 4 hours of sleep in a day. In the early stage, he can be said to be so intimidating for ordinary people.

Even if you are leveling in a labyrinth area with rich experience, you still have experience penalties after the level exceeds a certain value of the current class. But Xie Ming insisted on the experience punishment and trained his level to the point where he surpassed the top players.

Then, it was a crusade against the Killing Labor Association. Under pressure and incomprehension, enduring loneliness and coldness, he walked on.

Because in his opinion, what comes with strength is responsibility.

His talent skill, Rewrite, allows him to gain 10 extra attributes every week than ordinary players. His purple magic pupil can reduce his danger more than ordinary players. His shield rebellion also gave him the capital to single-handedly challenge the Boss without injury.

With the existence of these three cheating skills, could it be so impossible for him to accomplish anything? Is he going to watch tragedies that can be stopped unfolding one after another?

No one asked him to do this, he wanted to do it himself. No one pays him, he is completely using love to generate electricity.

But precisely because of this, no one has the right to accuse him, to pick and choose his behavior. Listening, or not listening, is entirely up to him.

Just as he took down his character name and spoken words when he left the first-level starting town.

"Wait, and hope."

The meaning of this sentence is not to let people do nothing but wait for others to save themselves. It is to let you not give up the hope in your heart no matter how dark the encounter is.

It was precisely because of these words that Asuna, who was full of fear in her heart at the time, was awakened and cheered up on her own.

Speaking of this, in fact, Asuna still has a secret in her heart that she has never told anyone, only her girlfriend Lisbet knows.

At that time, Xie Ming was Asuna's idol.

Cold and efficient acting style, merciless attitude towards people, and not caring about the strength of others' opinions. In fact, a considerable part of the strategy style of the ghost of strategy was learned by Asuna from Xie Ming.

So after Lisbet knew that Asuna and Xie Ming were married, she ridiculed Asuna for quite a while, saying that she was "successful in chasing the stars", making Asuna chased after her in anger.

Because of this, she would never tell this secret, because it was too shameful.

Asuna, who picked up the rapier again and walked on the wooden floor in soft slippers, couldn't help falling into the memories of the past. However, a cold voice that was not humane awakened her from the memory.

"It's really late enough to come back, the threshold time, should you remember it?"

The sound was a beautiful woman with crisp black short hair and a bright red suit. Obviously she is a very beautiful woman in the workplace, but because of her stern face and cold atmosphere, she feels very difficult to approach.

She is Asuna's mother, Kyoko Yuki.

"Yes, mother, I'm sorry."

"...What is the one in your hand."

Seeing the rapier that Asuna was holding, which was obviously like a toy, Kyoko Yuki couldn't help but feel a trace of anger between her brows.

"The reason why you come back late is to waste money on buying such a useless toy!?"

"No, it's not!"

Asuna hurriedly raised her head and explained: "This is a gift Ming brought back to me from China. It is not a toy. It is a real thin sword made without opening!"

"Ming?"

Kyoko Yuki was taken aback when he heard the name, and then he reacted: "You mean that China university student? He is back?"

"Well, yes." Asuna hugged the rapier tightly: "He came to the school to find me, and he sent me back just now."

"He also asked me if I wanted to come over and say hello to my mother, but because it was too sudden and my father and brother were not there, I want him to officially introduce you to you when everyone is there."

"...Hmph, it's quite polite."

With a cold snort, Kyoko Yuki walked up to Asuna and stretched out her hand: "This is the gift he brought to you from China?"

"um, yes."

Asuna hesitated for a moment, and passed the rapier in her hand to her mother.

"Be careful, mother, it's a bit heavy."

"........."

Taking the rapier, feeling the considerable weight, Kyoko Yuuki raised her eyebrows. Then he took the hilt of the sword and pulled out a section of the sword body. The crystal-like transparent luster made her calm pupils appear a little surprised.

Even if she didn't know anything about swords at all, she understood that this rapier was an extraordinary product, and it was probably made by the master forging masters who still existed in modern times.

I also thought that Xie Ming came from China and was a family of martial artists. The answer has already appeared in Yuki Kyoko's heart.

"It looks like this Uranus Temple Hu Taro's family background in China should be quite old. His Chinese name is... Xie Ming? Xie's family? I will ask relevant people to investigate and see when that time comes."

A few thoughts flashed in his head, and Kyoko Yuki returned the rapier to Asuna's hand.

"Although it is not opened, this weapon is still very dangerous. Go to the Internet to pick a sword rack and put it in your own room. If you don't forge it into such a fancy, it will be a good thing that can be decorated in the living room. Really..."

It’s difficult for her to say anything about gifts given to her daughter by others, so she can only complain a little.

"Quickly go back to the room and put things away, and prepare to come to the restaurant for dinner."

After speaking, Kyoko Yuuki turned around and walked towards the restaurant without hesitation.

"...Okay, mother."

Lowering her head, Asuna replied in a low voice. But from the clenched fingers on the scabbard of her rapier, it can be seen that she is not as calm as her tone.
