Night.

The moon hangs high.

Thousands of silver rays sprinkled down, and the whole world was shrouded in a veil-like silver glow.

The sandy beach on a moonlit night is layered, and the contrast between the silvery white sand and the sparkling sea is stark.

On the beach.

Makino and Asuna both stepped barefoot on the sand, leaving two rows of footprints of different sizes, one deep and one shallow.

Time flies, and it's been a month since Makino last went to Yuuki's house for a dinner party.

Marriage has never been just a matter of men and women, but of two families.

The result is completely different from having the approval and blessing of the parents, and not getting the approval of the parents.

Since the dinner, Asuna has felt happiness and sweetness like never before.

Even her mother, who has always been very strict with her, has reached a consensus with her, and has become more and more intimate recently, which even makes Asuna feel like she is back when she was very young.

In fact, Asuna still hasn't adapted to the change of identity.

In these aspects, her mother gave her a lot of advice and help.

At the same time as there is a great harvest in love, there is also a great consummation in the family.

Especially after reaching an understanding with her mother, Asuna was released from the pressure and shackles that her mother had given her for a long time.

It made Asuna feel like she had been reborn and felt happier than ever.

But.

Happy times are always so short-lived!

Although she knew that Makino would leave, when this day was approaching, Asuna's heart was still filled with too much reluctance.

The only thing that makes Asuna happy is that Makino's farewell does not mean that she will never see Makino again.

Thinking of this, Asuna couldn't help but recall the "surprise" that Makino gave her not long ago.

Since the identity of the god Makino was revealed, Asuna has felt too many surprises brought by Makino.

But.

When Asuna, under the leadership of Makino, re-sees the floating castle Ayn Grant, where she has lived for two years, Asuna is so emotional that she doesn't even know what to say.

After two years as a prisoner in Ayn Grant, Asuna felt too much pain here.

However, it was another two years of Asuna's indispensable, and there were too many indelible memories here.

Especially the good time with Makino is Asuna's most precious memory.

If Ain's reappearance is just a matter of emotion for Asuna.

When Asuna learned that she could re-log into the world with the help of a special helmet and meet Makino from time to time, Asuna's heart was filled with excitement.

Surprise, this is indeed a huge surprise that makes her overjoyed!

What better gift than to be able to cross time and space and be by Makino's side at all times?

Although she can only log in as a 3D virtual data model, Asuna is very, very satisfied.

Seeing Asuna's feet deep and shallow, and running to the beach from time to time to pick up a beautiful shell, Makino slowly smiled on his face.

It's great that Asuna can be happy!

Perhaps tired of playing, Asuna snuggled up to Makino's side, and the two sat on a huge reef, looking up at the starry sky.

Asuna: "Makino, you're already so strong, why do you keep shuttling through every world?" ”

Asuna was genuinely curious.

Not to mention the ones that Makino showed that day, just the ones that Makino dictated, you can feel that Makino's strength has long been standing at the top of many worlds.

Seeing Asuna's curious appearance, Makino thought for a moment and said, "Each different world has a completely different beauty, and a completely different adventure ......."

Makino began to select some of the experiences he had traveled around the world and tell them in a very witty tone.

For a while.

Asuna listened with some fascination!

After crossing the Endless Storm, you can see the magnificent sunrise over the sea for the first time; The headquarters of the Demon Slayer Team, the wisteria flowers that bloom almost all over the mountain; Where the Void Night Palace is located, the endless world of white sand......

Of course, there are also the people and battles that impressed Makino one by one.

Seeing the appearance of Makino's eyebrows dancing, Asuna couldn't help but smile.

Such a confident and passionate Makino...... It's handsome!

At this moment, Asuna completely understood why Makino was so strong, and why he continued to go on one world after another.

This is like the floor in the strategy SAO, although it is dangerous, but the achievement and joy after the successful strategy also come from the soul!

At first, Asuna just listened, but then she became more attentive.

Just looking at Makino's expression when he spoke, it was like a wonderful movie, and Asuna couldn't help but smile when she watched it.

When Makino was almost done, he suddenly found that Asuna had been looking at him since he didn't know when!

Makino suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I'm too involved, I'm a little bored!"

Asuna shook her head suddenly, "How so?" What Makino said is very interesting, the boy is ambitious in the distance, I support you! ”

Makino didn't say anything more, just reached out and hugged Asuna's delicate body.

Snuggled up tightly together, sensing each other's temperature and heartbeat, both of them were extremely satisfied.

A few minutes later.

Makino couldn't help but ask, "Asuna, what about the transfer...... Have you already decided? ”

is similar to the original book, Asuna's mother feels that Asuna's two years of delay in SAO have distanced herself from her peers.

So, using all kinds of connections, I plan to transfer Asuna to a better private high school.

In the original book, because of Kirito's relationship, Asuna is extremely unwilling.

But now, Asuna agrees to her mother's arrangement.

Seeing Makino's expression, Asuna immediately pounced and laughed.

"Don't show such a dignified expression, I'm an honor student with excellent character and learning, even if it's delayed for two years, as long as I review carefully, I will definitely be able to pass the exam."

Makino: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not worried about Asuna's abilities...... Is this your own will? ”

Asuna said sweetly, "Mom suggested it, but I agreed." After all, Makino is so good...... I need to be better too! ”

Makino exaggerated, "Asuna, are you going to be so good that you will completely beat me in terms of academic qualifications?" I'm so scared! ”

Asuna said, "Yes, worship me from now on!" ”

After saying that, both of them were happy.

With Asuna's talent, Makino has no doubt that she will become very, very, very good.

At a quick glance, Makino saw the ring on Asuna's ring finger.

In an instant, Makino's heart suddenly became more reassuring.

Because, this ring was worn by Makino himself not long ago.

However, it is not set with diamonds, but from the world of pirates...... Pure gold!

As long as it is illuminated by the light of pure gold, it can greatly slow down the rate of growth.

Olga in the world of pirates, because she wears a pure gold ring all year round, is still a little girl who has lived for more than 200 years.

In a sense, pure gold is...... The elixir of life!

Almost everyone in the Yuuki family has a variety of ornaments made of pure gold.

Makino just told them to wear it all year round, and as for the true role of pure gold, Makino didn't say anything.

A secret is a true secret only if you don't even know it.

This can be regarded as the protection of the Yuuki family!

Both of them cherished this last moment very much, and seemed to have endless words.

The sea breeze is blowing, and the waves are constantly advancing and retreating, making the silver white sand more dreamy and beautiful.

On the beach, the footprints of Makino and Asuna also changed from the initial skew and wide, slowly approaching together, and finally converged into one footprint.

Next.

Aerodrome.

Under the watchful eyes of Asuna and the Yuuki family, Makino boarded a plane to Europe.

As for the reason, it is to study in the UK.

This is also a fair and honest reason that Makino found for him to leave the sword world!

The world of swords, after all, is a world with very advanced technology, and Makino is a famous "big hero" in the SAO incident.

In the SAO Emergency Countermeasures Division, that's a notion.

If Makino disappears quietly, it is likely to cause some trouble for Asuna and the Yuki family.

Studying abroad, on the other hand, is a good reason.

But.

What no one knew about disappeared directly after Makino arrived in England.

Makino has left the world of swords!

Asuna's heart was inevitably a little empty, but she was also full of energy.

She's going to get even better!
