She rolled her eyes at Kirito, took his slightly cold hand in hers, and squeezed it a little tighter as if she wanted to warm it. "How can you talk about your mother like that? You'll get scolded if someone hears you."

"So what exactly happened? I've never seen you stare blankly like that before. Unless something very special happened, I don't think it's possible."

Although their relationship was a long time ago, and their parents obviously knew about it, there was no secret dating involved. Kirito knew his parents were unreliable, so even if they said some strange things, it was perfectly normal.

For example, when it was close to dinner time, Kirigaya Nagaka lit a cigarette for Kirito herself so that she wouldn't be scolded for smoking... she was just dragging her son down with her.

"Yes, we did talk about some things."

Asuna pursed her lips, and her other hand, which had been free, suddenly reached behind Kirigaya-chan and gently pulled him into her arms. She then gently rubbed her cheek against Kirigaya-chan's soft cheek. However, this gesture made Kirigaya-chan feel both enjoyment and worry.

Moreover, I always felt that something was wrong.

"Hmm, Asuna, what exactly did Mom say to you? If there's anything, you could just tell me directly. Even if it's badmouthing my mom to her face... well, I guess that still won't work, will it?"

As she was speaking, Kiritani-chan paused, her expression slightly strained. "But I can definitely handle it, trust me!"

"No, it's nothing strange."

Asuna wanted to laugh, but her expression was completely overwhelmed with joy. "I just feel so happy! It's so wonderful to be your girlfriend! I feel so happy!"

No, no, Asuna, this is a bit too abnormal for you.

Kiritani hugged Asuna tightly. "Of course! After all, it's me. I'm very honored and happy to be your boyfriend!"

As if in response, Asuna snuggled even closer into Kiritani's arms, as if trying to merge herself into Kiritani's body, in a very intimate manner.

To be honest...

"Yeah, I'm listening."

"I really can't believe it, our relationship... has gotten to this point."

No, that's not the case.

From an outsider's perspective, we've long been no different from a married couple, with an unspoken understanding and a long-standing companionship.

Perhaps even normal families find it difficult to reach this level?

"It's quite obvious."

"...Hey, Kazuto."

Asuna Yuuki gently tilted her head back, looking into those eyes filled with deep affection, her tone changing slightly, "In the beginning, you were the one who confessed first, weren't you?"

"Eh, I... I guess I really am!"

I instinctively wanted to refute it, but upon reflection, it seemed to be true.

"Well, I won't ask for a repeat. I'll be a little willful now, I'll do it..."

"A replay? What do you mean..."

Before she could finish speaking, she pushed Kirito away, took two steps back, and looked at him with slightly reddened eyes. "Phew! I said, Kirito-kun... do you... like me even a little bit?"

Kirito looked at Yuuki Asuna's radiant smile, tilted his head slightly, and couldn't help but smile back. He licked his lips and looked at the girl he loved so deeply. "If it's just a little bit, yes."

"That's it..."

She raised the corners of her mouth, her smile sweet and beautiful. "So, would you like more? Like, dating me or something?"

"Are you trying to be a pervert...?"

Her posture was just like that day in the past, when the girl also showed such a bright and sweet smile.

I really love it!

The boy smiled and extended his hand, letting the girl grasp it tightly. "However, I agree. Please take care of me in the future."

"...I will take good care of you!"

I will treat my beloved with absolute tenderness!

Then, the girl hugged the boy again, pressing her cheek against his.

He whispered in his ear—

Let's get married!

Ps:

That's a foul...

[NO.489 I agree to this marriage]

The group trip has ended.

The fun and gameplay were slightly less than expected.

Of course, this is true for most people, but for some... like Asuna Yuuki.

She was in a very good mood, even feeling very happy.

Oh right, here's the gist of it: the night before the club trip ended, Asuna Yuuki said to Kazuto Kirito, "Let's get married!"

Undoubtedly, this is a thought shared by both sides.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be brought up in this kind of way, and even Hina didn't expect her to say it so suddenly.

After all, Midori Kiritani only told Asuna that she had spoken with Asuna's parents about Kiritani Kazuto and Asuna, and they all felt that they shouldn't interfere with the two children's relationship or do anything to obstruct it.

As for the marriage, it was only mentioned briefly.

Naturally, the parents left the choice to Kirito and Asuna Yuuki themselves.

As for the extent to which Asuna's parents are satisfied with Mr. Kiritani, that's hard to say.

However, these things have never been within Mr. Kiritani's considerations. Even if he thinks they are a bit unreliable, so what?

As long as it's tough enough!

Although Kiritani-kun's face is very fair and cute, he can be considered to have achieved success in his career, especially since he is still quite young.

Being a gigolo... cough, I have to say Kiritani-kun has really thought about it.

But what's the use of a pretty boy?

Being a kept man isn't something a gigolo can just do. A truly weak man is the one who ends up starving; you need to have solid basic qualities! —Note that "basic qualities" here refers to ability or strength!

In short, anyone who has impure thoughts should commit suicide as an apology!

Now, inside the hot spring inn.

The rest of the club members, as well as Kiritani's family, had all left, leaving only the two of them there.

Or perhaps the boy and girl who slept together in each other's arms last night were left behind because they were too lazy to get out of bed?

What a joke!

The gist of the story is that the lovers were enjoying their time alone together, and some people, not wanting to be disturbed, chose to have the others taken away.

It was a warm and familiar scene. Kirito-kun rested his head on Asuna's soft lap, scrolling through Twitter and Yui's list of recent business that Akane Kousaka had received. He would handle what he could, and leave the things he couldn't or that were too troublesome to Akane. Asuna, on the other hand, had a smile on her lips as she flipped through novels and comics... or she would watch Kirito-kun's serious expression.

"Hey, Asuna."

"Ok?"

Asuna shifted her gaze away from the manga titled Sword Art Online and responded softly.

"How about we take some time off? Anyway, we don't have anything to do at the upcoming sports festival."

"Huh? Should I ask for leave?"

At this moment, Asuna completely put down the manga, her expression slightly surprised and suspicious. "Is there something important?"

"Yes, it's very important..."

Kiritani raised his hand and pinched Asuna's cheek, his expression becoming increasingly gentle, "It's something that will require a lot of effort to handle."

"...So sudden? Do you need my help?"

"Rather than saying I need your help, it's more accurate to say that I absolutely need you here, because I can't do this kind of thing by myself."

"Ah," Asuna tilted her head, slightly confused. As his girlfriend, she knew Kirito's abilities perfectly well. Even if he wasn't always very reliable, he could usually do things perfectly if he wanted to...

Well, I'd better not even think about making a dish without eggs.

Kiritani raised his hand and ruffled Asuna's hair, smiling slightly. "Well, meeting the parents is definitely better done with your partner, right? Besides, this isn't just a simple meeting; I'm planning to ask your parents to marry you off to me!"

"..."

Asuna nodded in realization, but quickly froze. Her eyes blinked slightly as she looked at her boyfriend, whose lips curled into a bright smile, and a mixture of surprise and excitement welled up inside her.

"Really...really?"

With excitement and disbelief, especially the initial dazed nod, this slightly slow reaction time was something Asuna had never experienced before, but it was really cute!

"Ah, isn't that obvious? Although I confessed first, you were the one who took the initiative last night, which could be considered a proposal. I can't expect you to be the first to meet her parents and ask her to marry her child to me, can I?... Hmm, it would be strange if I married you!"

"Huh? Huh? Hey—? Is that what you care about, Kazuto?"

"No, I just want to marry you!"

Kiritani reached out and gently pinched Asuna's nose, his smile growing wider. "Just this innocent, huh? Besides, isn't it better this way?"

It can be considered a solicitation of opinions, but whether or not opinions are asked, the answer is already in one's mind.

With that, Asuna tossed aside the manga she was holding, pushed Kirito down onto the bed, grabbed his wrists with both hands, looked him straight in the eye with a superior air, and said with a slightly arrogant tone, "Why are you asking me about this? You should make the decision! Do you really want me to go to the dojo and beg Aunt Kirito to marry you to me?"

Alas……

The phone was thrown on the bed, the screen still covered by a shield, with Yui's face pressed against it, her eyes wide open, and her small mouth gradually opening wider.

However, a slender hand reached out from the edge of the screen and pulled Yui over, and the screen went completely black at that moment.

"...You're shy, Asuna!"

With a slightly amused expression, Kiritani-kun completely gave up struggling and looked directly at the girl he had always liked. He could clearly see the blush gradually spreading across her pretty face.

That's perfectly normal; they've already reached the stage of marriage.

Compared to the usual shyness of publicly displaying affection, this time it's genuine embarrassment.

What's more, now it's time to meet the parents... and prepare to get their consent—a real announcement of marriage!

It was really super fun!

Her face flushed, and she glared at him, "When are we going?"

Kiritani pouted, "Give me a kiss, and I'll tell you the time!"

"Alas!"

With her eyes wide in disbelief, Asuna puffed out her cheeks. "How can there be such a thing...?"

"Then, let's do it one..."

"Are you kidding me! Of course I'm going right now!"

With his arms around Asuna's neck, Kirito straightened up and pulled her into his arms, and—

He kissed the shy girl.

Ps:

This is a single-female main storyline; the harem storyline will be written later.

Don't worry, I'll end up like this.

that's all.

【NO.490 Meeting the Father-in-Law】

Procrastination—is incurable!

For example, when I wake up, I think about washing up, eating something, and then writing. But after eating, I naturally slump on the sofa, thinking I'll rest a bit before writing again. Then, I subconsciously reach for my phone, and then I instinctively open the chat to reply to messages, and open Bookke to check the posts in my book. After that, I check if the books I usually follow have been updated. After spending time reading the updates, I open Bilibili to see if the anime I follow has been updated...

Then, time somehow disappeared.

So, procrastination is incurable!

Similarly, Kiritani-kun also believes that procrastination is incurable, and because he cares about it so much, he doesn't want to postpone this matter.

If it weren't for what Asuna said last night, Kirito might not be so concerned now. Instead, he might be thinking of having his parents go and sit down with Asuna's parents first, and then take action when he is truly ready.
