"You're just reducing your options, aren't you? No matter how many years you stay in that kind of place, you can't find your way.

But the school you want to transfer to is different, the university department is also a prestigious school, as long as you get good grades there, you can go to your mother's school to go to graduate school. Listen, Tomorrow, Mom doesn't want you to live a miserable life in the future. I want you to have qualifications that don't lose to anyone. ”

"What do you call my qualifications...... What happened when I was in the first month of the year and insisted that I meet that person? I don't know what you said to him...... But the man spoke in a tone as if I were already her fiancée. The person who reduced my life choices should be you, Mom! ”

Asuna couldn't contain the slight tremor in her voice. Although she tried her best to express her strong will in her eyes, Kyoko did not waver at all, and just put her lips to the glass containing sherry.

"Marriage is also part of seniority. If you marry into a husband who has a poor material life, you will definitely regret it after five or ten years.

You can't continue what you want to do. If you marry Yu, you don't have to worry about this. Compared with the big banks, which are constantly fighting factionalism, the local banks run by their own families are more reassuring. Mom is very optimistic about Yuya. He was an honest kid. ”

No! No! What I like is jade! The person I love is jade! I'm Jade's wife!

"Mom, don't care about my feelings at all!!"

"I'm just too considerate of your feelings!"

Kyoko's face tensed, and she looked at Asuna angrily.

Asuna could only swallow the bitter water into her stomach and said in a stiff voice.

"—In short, I didn't want to associate with that person at all. I choose who I associate with. ”

"Okay, as long as the other party is an excellent young man worthy of you. I'll start with that, like that kind of boy - of course the students in that kind of facility are not included! ”

“…………”

Kyoko's statement sounded like she was referring to a specific person, which made Asuna shudder again.

“…… Don't...... You investigated...... ...... his business? ”

She whispered in a hoarse voice, but Kyoko didn't deny it, just casually pulled up another topic.

"I want you to understand that your parents are all about your happiness.

It has always been my wish to start by choosing the kindergarten you attend. I think you'll regret playing the game that Koichiro bought. But it's just a minor setback, and it can be remedied right away. As long as you work hard now, you will definitely be able to accumulate great qualifications with your talent. ”

Yes, Kyoko did investigate. It's just that she only found out that Asuna likes Zhang Yu and is married to him in the game. He is the hero of SAO and rescues everyone in the game. But his true identity was not found, but she guessed that he also attended that school.

Asuna whispered inwardly - that's not my qualifications, but my mother's.

Asuna's older brother, Koichiro, is also part of Kyoko's own "beautiful qualifications". Koichiro studied at a top-notch university, and after entering the RECT job, he did make a difference, which made Kyoko feel quite satisfied.

Asuna was supposed to follow in her brother's footsteps, but she fell into the inexplicable incident of SAO.

Having lost the strength to continue her verbal confrontation with her mother, she placed her knife and fork next to the plate where half of the dishes were left, and then stood up.

“…… Let me think about it. ”

Although she tried her best to squeeze out this sentence, she wanted to lie in Zhang Yu's arms immediately, hug him tightly and confide in him. Kyoko's answer, on the other hand, was emotionless.

"The deadline is until the next week. Before that, fill out the registration form, print three copies, and put it on the table in my study. ”

Asuna bowed her head, turned and walked towards the door. She wanted to go straight back to her room, but she couldn't suppress the emotions hidden deep in her chest, and after taking a step into the corridor, she turned to face Kyoko again and said in a cold voice.

"Mom's ......"

“…… What's up? ”

"Mom must be ashamed of her deceased grandparents, right? Born into an ordinary peasant family instead of a prestigious family, you are very dissatisfied, right? ”

Kyoko's eyes widened in surprise, but deep wrinkles immediately appeared on her brow and the corners of her mouth.

“…… Tomorrow! Come over to me! ”

Although she heard her mother's stern voice, Asuna immediately closed the heavy oak door and blocked out the rest of the words. She quickly crossed the hall as if she were fleeing, rushed up the stairs and immediately opened the door to her room.

The detector instantly senses Asuna, and the lighting and air conditioning are automatically turned on.

Asuna felt an irrepressible anxiety in her heart, so she walked directly to the control panel on the wall and closed the indoor integrated control system completely. She lay directly on the bed, ignoring the wrinkles caused by the high-end shirt on her body, and buried her face completely in the big cushion.

She didn't want to cry. As a swordsman, she has long since decided not to shed tears of sadness and remorse. Now, however, this determination has only exacerbated the depression in her chest.

A mockery of "What kind of swordsman are you" sounded in my heart. Can just wielding a polygonal sword in the game have any effect on the real world? Asuna gritted her teeth and asked herself.

I met that boy in that world, and I should have changed myself. I have stopped following the values given by others, and I have become a person who can fight for what I really want to do.

But from an outsider's point of view, what is the difference between my current self and before I was locked up in that world?

Still smiling like an ornamental doll in front of her relatives, she couldn't categorically refuse the path set by her mother. If you can only return to your true self in the imaginary world, then what is the purpose of returning to the real world?

"Jade ...... Jade ......"

I don't know when it started, but the name kept appearing from between the trembling lips.

Jade is so mysterious, he should have suffered a lot of pressure from his family. After all, I'm just an ordinary girl, and we don't know much about each other in real life except for loving each other.

Originally, he promised to come to him in a few days, but it took more than two months to come to him. I guess there was a conflict with my family. That mecha didn't look like something that ordinary people could have......

Asuna has always believed in Zhang Yu and believed that he would definitely come back, and the result did not disappoint her.

If she could, she hoped that she would be able to stay by his side and pursue a common dream together. So Asuna wants to stay with him and use the rest of the time to slowly explore how to fulfill her dream.

Her dream is very simple, that is, to stay by Zhang Yu's side forever!
