Tokyo City, December 6, 2025, the new year is about to pass, in a certain apartment, a very simple bedroom, a bed, a computer desk, there is nothing else, and there is a black-haired teenager sleeping on the bed, he slowly opened his eyes at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

My name is Kazuto Kiritani, I'm 17 years old, and it's been two years since the last SAO can't log in incident, and I've missed her deeply for two years.

Her name is Purple, a very beautiful girl, not human, like an elf. We played games together in SAO, practiced swords together, and in this way I fell in love with her, and I couldn't extricate myself, but fate played tricks on us and we were forced to separate.

The birth of the newborn ALO gave me hope, but when I couldn't wait to log in to ALO, she disappeared.

I made a wish every night that as long as I could see Zi, even if it was for a minute, I would be willing to die, but the gods ignored it, and to this day, I have not been able to get my wish.

"Ding Dong"

Kirito remembers that it was a text message notification tone on his phone, and someone had texted him.

Pick up the phone to unlock the screen, a sender is sent by the signature of "Seijiro Kikuoka", this person knows himself.

Two years ago, when I first woke up from SAO, the first thing I saw was him.

He is the second group of the Advanced Promotion Division of the General Communications Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, commonly known as the "Hypothetical Division".

Contents: Kirito-kun, No. 7 Ginza Ichi, there is an urgent event that needs you.

"Urgent?" Kirito doesn't know what this emergency is, anyway, tomorrow is a holiday, so it doesn't hurt to go and see it.

But at this moment, the mobile phone suddenly screamed "jingle bell", and Kirito looked at the caller ID on the phone, and a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, is there anything wrong with Asuna?"

"Is Kirito free today?"

"Not available for the time being"

"Oh~ What about tomorrow?"

"There's an appointment tomorrow, what's wrong?"

"Ah..... It's okay, I'm right on your doorstep."

Kirito was stunned, put on his slippers and walked to the window to lift the corner of the curtain, and sure enough, he saw Asuna in a yellow winter coat standing at the door of his apartment, still holding a mobile phone in her hand, looking very lost.

"Are you stupid? Don't say a word when you come, it's not cold outside? ”

"I.... I'm afraid to argue with you."

"You wait, I'll open the door for you"

After saying that, Kirito hung up the phone, picked up the coat on the computer chair and put it on sharply, pressed the doorknob, took a deep breath, and calmed down.

Since that vacation incident, Asuna has come to her every day, even if she ignores it, she doesn't care about insulting her, repeating the same actions every day, quietly watching herself.

She said she had been waiting, waiting for her to accept her.

Asuna's real name is: Asuna Yuuki, the eldest lady of the Yuuki family, and she is not in the same world as an ordinary person at all.

She's excellent in every way, and if it weren't for Purple, maybe I'd really be with her.

But this is fate, the fate that I have always wanted to rebel against.

Kirito opened the door and walked to the outer door to look at Asuna, who was trembling all over, a little unbearable.

"Hey, Asuna, why are you doing this, it's impossible for her to pass away in my heart, even time," Kirito sighed.

Asuna lowered her head and was silent, she also knew that what Kirito-kun said was true, but she really knew that she would succeed one day, and not giving up was the purpose of my tomorrow now.

"I know, I won't give up, no matter what you say or do," Asuna said firmly, clenching her pink fists and gritting her silver teeth.

"Come in" Kirito closed his eyes and took a deep breath, smiled bitterly, and turned back to the apartment.

Kirito knew that it was useless to say this, Asuna was very persistent, and it could be seen from not giving up in the past two years.

Even if she made herself fall in love with Asuna, it would never be possible, and her heart could only pretend to be one person.

Asuna followed Kirito to the living room of the apartment.

"Sit down," Kirito began.

Then, I went to make a cup of hot tea for Asuna.

"Warm up, don't get cold"

"Hmm" Asuna held the steaming cup of tea, knowing that he only cared about her as a friend, but she always thought to the side.

Then, the two sat across from each other on the sofa, both looking at each other, silent, as if waiting for someone to speak first.

"Kirito-kun, isn't Naoba here?" Asuna asked first.

"Still at the Kendo Club," Kirito replied in a flat tone.

"Oh," Asuna heard his tone, and she didn't have any thoughts to follow, and her heart was full of bitterness.

After a few minutes, the two were silent with each other, and Kirito watched her quietly, but soon, deciding that this was a waste of time, she stood up.

"Asuna, I'll send you back"

Now at the end of the year, it is said on TV that the crime rate is the highest in the year, and I don't want Asuna to have an accident.

"You're driving me away? Or do you care about me? Asuna asked, looking up with a frustrated face.

"It's both" Kirito looked away, not daring to look her in the eye.

"Whew"

Asuna took a deep breath, stood up, and smiled reluctantly: "I'm still young, I can afford to wait, two years is not enough, then twenty years"

With that, she turned and left the living room.

Kirito closed his eyes in pain, clenched his fists, and said, "Purple, what the hell should I do?" ”

Asuna walked on the deserted street, looking at the passers-by, the sweet couple, she cried, the tears broke down again, just walking powerlessly, what else can she say, what else can she do? I hope you can reply.

A loud engine sound rang in Asuna's ears.

When I looked back, I saw Kirito wearing a black jacket and motorcycle helmet, smiling at Asuna.

"I'll send you back so you don't have to happen," Kirito smiled.

"Hmm" Asuna nodded, turned her head, secretly wiped away her tears, and faced it with a smile.

On December 7, 2025, Kirito arrives at a cake shop in Ginza, and as soon as he enters, he sees a young man in a suit with glasses waving to him, he is Seijiro Kikuoka.

Kirito sat across from him and asked softly, "What's the urgency of coming to me?" ”

The young man was not very enthusiastic when he saw Kirito, and said with a joke: "Haha, Kirito-kun, don't be so cold to me, you just woke up two years ago, and I was the first to see you."

Kirito glanced at him, didn't object, and nodded silently: "I know, otherwise, I wouldn't be here today."

"Uh......" The young man was speechless, smiled wryly, and took out a piece of information.

Kirito took the information and looked at it.

On November 14, in an apartment in Nakano, Tokyo, a man died in his bedroom, the cause of death was heart failure, and the autopsy report showed that he had not eaten for two days and may have remained in a state of landing.
