Asuna held Zhang Yu's hand tightly, her fingers interlocked. At this moment, the mood is nervous and excited, but also very happy.

“…… Then again, why did you choose to meet here? ”

An idea that surprised Asuna instantly occurred in Zhang Yu's mind, but she immediately returned to her usual steady smile.

"Well, that's not the case. The main reason...... It's the poetry that was chosen......"

"I'll tell you about it later. Don't talk about that yet, I think the Imperial Palace is quite interesting. ”

“…… Interesting, what's interesting? ”

After Asuna blinked, Zhang Yu moved, and he pointed to the lush forest around him.

"It's two kilometers north and south and one and a half kilometers east and west. Together with Kitanomaru Park and Gaien, it covers an area of 2.3 million square meters, which is already 20% of Chiyoda's area, and is much larger than the Vatican or Buckingham Palace.

But it's still not as good as Versailles...... And it's not just the plane, there are no subways or tunnels underground, and of course all planes are forbidden to fly overhead. In other words, this place is a huge forbidden area that runs vertically through the center of Tokyo. ”

With that, Asuna tried to draw a map of Tokyo in her mind. The fingers of her left hand swirled in the air as she nodded in agreement.

"It's true that the main roads in the center of the city are probably called Ring Road or Radial Line. It's all about this place at the center of them......"

"Well, I'll surprise you later."

"Huh? What surprises? ”

Asuna looked at Zhang Yu suspiciously, in fact, she now really wanted to know what Zhang Yu had done in the past two months. But if he didn't take the initiative to say it, Asuna was embarrassed to pester and ask, she was such a gentle and kind girl.

As they engage in conversation, the trail turns into a rather sloping uphill slope around the massive rock wall. After crawling silently for a while, the horizon suddenly became quite spacious. In front of me was a large field of turf that was barely visible to the other side.

The grass is a withered light brown color due to the current winter, and the leaves of the surrounding trees have almost all been lost. But if it's spring, it's a sight to behold.

Asuna was also interested at this time, and pointed to the grass and said.

"This is the ruins of the main castle of Edo Castle. The harem that often appears in costume dramas seems to be a little north of the turf. ”

Zhang Yu nodded at her and said softly.

"Let's go check it out!"

Holding Zhang Yu's hand tightly, Asuna began to speed up her pace. Figures are still quite scarce, and almost all of them look like foreign tourists.

On the way, they pass by a couple with a cute blonde sister, and they are suddenly asked to help take pictures. Zhang Yu kindly agreed to them, but the foreigner's wife smiled and said, "Let's take a picture for you too", so he and Asuna lined up together a little embarrassed to take a photo.

After receiving the photo file on their mobile phone, the young sister waved goodbye to them. Looking at the family gradually fading away in the orange sunset, Asuna unconsciously sighed.

“…… Tired? ”

After hearing Zhang Yu's question, Asuna glared at him lightly.

"Just-no-yes! We will not know if we can be like them in the future...... Well...... Forget it. ”

Asuna's cheeks heated up as she blurted out the words, and she started running forward.

"Hey, wait!"

After a little race with Zhang Yu, who had caught up, he immediately came to a path that divided the turf into two parts, north and south. After seeing a stool at the fork in the road, the two sat down on it.

But Asuna still pinned her face to the side, and then Zhang Yu had to hug her gently and said softly.

"Hmm...... That one...... Yui will be happy to have a sister. ”

Yes, he remembered too.

The innocent and innocent little angel called him Daddy.

Hearing Zhang Yu's straightforward statement, Asuna blushed again, but couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Yes, yes."

"You're finally laughing. You really scared me ...... just now."

"Ahaha, sorry, sorry. But it would be nice if Yui could live with us in the real world......"

Yui is the girl the two of them met in the old SAO server. Her real identity is the player's mental state auto-manager, also known as AI. And she treats Asuna as her mother and Zhang Yu as her father.

At the time of the collapse of Ayn Grant, both Zhang Yu and Asuna were suddenly transferred by Akihiko Kayaba.

Fortunately, in the end, Yui herself transferred the core program to Asuna's NERvGear and avoided being wiped out, and it was because of the existence of Yui and Shino that Asuna was able to persist in the days without Zhang Yu.

However, it is basically only possible to come into contact with Yui in a fully stealthy environment, that is, when NERvGear enters the game. Although she can communicate with her in the real world using her mobile phone, Asuna can't "stay with her all the time" because of the battery capacity.

That's right, no matter how much Asuna loves Yui's daughter, and how much Yui likes this mother, there has always been a barrier between the imaginary world and the real world......

At this time, Zhang Yu suddenly silently clenched Asuna's hand.

"It doesn't matter, someday. We can definitely live together. As long as the complete stealth technology is more advanced, the augmented reality will definitely become more popular. ”

As long as I keep getting stronger, I can definitely do it.

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Asuna nodded deeply and shook his hand vigorously.

"Hmm...... Certain...... Definitely. ”

Asuna suddenly raised her face and said.

"That's right, Jade. What surprise are you talking about? ”

"Hmm...... It may not be very convenient here. ”

Zhang Yu's gaze wandered for a moment, and then he looked at the wrists of the two of them overlapping on the bench. The Lance bracelet is black and smooth like jade. Due to the presence of an optical camouflage system, ordinary people simply do not see its existence.

"Not so convenient?"

Hearing him say this, Asuna tilted her head and looked at Zhang Yu suspiciously.

"So what is convenient to do?"

Zhang Yu said his conditions, but this meant something different to Asuna's ears.

"We had to find a place where no one was around, just the two of us."

When Asuna heard this, she quickly looked at Zhang Yu like an electric shock, and immediately lowered her head. The whole person was flushed from face to neck, and her body was even trembling.

“…… Jade, you don't think about H in your head as soon as you come back, do you? ”

There was a coquettish meaning in the tone.

Zhang Yu raised his hand to Asuna and said with a serious expression.

"Absolutely nothing! I swear! ”
