I only came here to talk about marriage, to get engaged first and then get married in two years...

Kiritani looked annoyed, then looked up and asked, "Does 'Changge' here refer to my father?"

"Yes, Changge and I became good brothers not long after you and Asuna confirmed your relationship. He often comes over to drink with me. Asuna's mother and sister-in-law also get along well. Your family is very nice."

So, the reason I agreed so readily is actually because my parents often come over to pull strings.

"Your parents and I will take care of the wedding arrangements, so don't worry!"

No, no, no, it's not that I'm worried, I just feel that my previous tension and anxiety were a complete waste of energy.

If I had known it would turn out like this, why would I have panicked? It's normal for me to come and visit often!

"Hey, about drinking, let's have a drink right now!"

Kiritani scratched his head, took a deep breath, stood up, picked up the wine bottle next to him, and poured half a bottle for Yuki Shozo, who looked slightly surprised. Then he took the initiative to clink glasses with his glass, took a deep breath, and then picked up the bottle of red wine and drank it down.

Yuuki Akira was stunned. "This... isn't this for drinking? Besides, you can't drink like this!"

Despite saying that, Yuki Shozo did not object at all; rather, he was becoming more and more satisfied with Kiritani-kun as his son-in-law.

A dozen seconds later, Kiritani-kun calmly put down the empty bottle, let out a soft burp, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve with a slight smile. "Score, should be pretty good, right?"

"Not only is he good, I've decided you're my son-in-law now. You'd better start calling me father-in-law!"

"Really? Haha... That's good, Father-in-law!"

Kiritani grinned, his calm face instantly turning red, and his eyes became hazy, as if veiled by a thin layer of mist. His body swayed slightly.

Then, he tilted his head to the side, sat back down in his chair, and passed out drunk.

"Haha... This kid is really something else...!"

The feigned drunkenness vanished completely at this moment. Yuuki Shozo raised his hand and tapped the table. The study door opened immediately, and Shinji walked in from outside. Looking at Kiritani-kun slumped in the chair, she nodded slightly to Yuuki Shozo.

"I'll go to the guest room with the young master right away."

"...Take him to Asuna's room. Asuna will take care of this kid."

"Yes!"

…………

Asuna's mother, Kyoko Yuuki.

In terms of appearance, she doesn't look like a woman whose daughter is already seventeen years old, not to mention that there is Yuuki Rito, who is two years older than Asuna, ahead of her.

However, anyone who knows her well feels that she is quite strict with her children. Fortunately, this strictness is shared by Rito Yuuki and Asuna Yuuki; otherwise, the future of either Rito Yuuki or Asuna alone would probably be completely planned out.

Asuna once told Kiritani-kun that her mother was actually a very scary person! Although she didn't know how to explain it in detail, she knew that if she went against her mother's wishes, the consequences would be severe.

"Phew! Don't be nervous, stay calm and just say the prepared words!"

At this moment, Asuna stood at the entrance to the small garden, pressing one hand to her chest and taking deep breaths, trying to calm her already tense mind.

Having probably adjusted her mindset, Asuna stepped into the small garden. The flowers in the garden were beautiful, but Asuna had no time to appreciate them. Rather, her attention was entirely focused on the pavilion in the center of the garden. Sitting in the pavilion, holding a cup of hot tea and looking at the books on the table was Asuna's mother, Kyoko Yuuki.

"come on."

"There's still quite a distance to go," Kyoko Yuuki turned her head to look at Asuna, whose expression was somewhat conflicted, and slowly began to speak.

Kyoko Yuuki's face was very calm, or rather, she didn't show much expression at all. As soon as she finished speaking, Asuna subconsciously quickened her pace and rushed to her side.

"sit down."

Asuna sat obediently beside her.

"Pour the tea."

Asuna obediently picked up the teapot and refilled the almost empty cup with tea.

Kyoko Yuuki nodded slightly, took a small sip of tea, and put down what she was holding. "Then, let's get straight to the point."

"Mom, I..."

Asuna opened her mouth, but the words stopped before she could finish, not because she couldn't say them or because she regretted it.

Simple and shy.

Yes, Asuna's cheeks are now flushed.

"Okay, I roughly understand."

Kyoko Yuuki's calm expression vanished, replaced by a sigh of emotion. "Have you really decided?"

A surge of courage allowed Asuna to cast aside her last bit of shyness. "Yes, I decided a long time ago!"

With little change in tone, Kyoko Yuuki said slowly, "Then say it to my face."

"...I...I want to marry Kazuhito-kun!"

"Yes, I agree."

"Huh? Huh? Hey—?"

Asuna, who had expected her mother to be very angry, was shocked and stared wide-eyed with her mouth agape. Kyoko Yuuki also showed a slightly strange expression, looking at Asuna as if she was puzzled.

"Did you think I would disagree?"

"No, no, I didn't..."

"Speak directly."

"Yes, I thought my mother would never agree."

But the result was that she agreed so easily. It would be really strange if Asuna wasn't surprised.

In reality, Kyoko Yuuki is simply used to hiding her inner thoughts and feelings and doesn't really know how to communicate with her children. In addition, she speaks her mind directly and never hides anything, which makes her seem very scary. Actually, Kyoko Yuuki really wants her daughter to open up and confide in her, but Asuna is always afraid of her and doesn't dare to open up to her mother.

"Okay, I'll say it again—I agree!"

Ps:

I looked up information about Asuna's parents, and I was surprised to find that Asuna's mother had mostly positive reviews. The personality description above was also compiled based on the information. If there are any inaccuracies, please consider it as the fault of the information or as my own interpretation. As for Yuki Shozo, it can be said that he was influenced by Kirito Nagato.

Besides, here's why I didn't update yesterday: I've recently become addicted to JX3 (Swordsman Online) and playing PUBG with girls, and I've completely failed to adjust my biological clock.

Finally, Qinluo and the Second Miss are absolutely amazing!

that's all.

【NO.494 I'll do whatever you say】

A rare scene.

Looking at the boy sleeping soundly on the bed, the girl smiled with joy.

The weather was lovely today, a little warmer than usual in the cold winter. But what warmed Asuna even more was that her usually strict mother was radiating the warmest light today, a truly comforting feeling.

From a certain perspective, the reason why I feel that my mother is strict and terrible is simply because I have never opened my heart to her and never had a proper conversation with her.

"Kazuto, you'd better treat my parents better from now on."

"...Ah, isn't that obvious? After all, they're my parents-in-law... Ugh, my head hurts so much!!"

Kirigaya-kun casually lifted the covers, his eyes still closed. His face, pale and devoid of rosy hues, looked terrible. He couldn't drink alcohol at all, and he had drunk half a bottle in one go. Now, Kirigaya-kun felt as if his head was about to explode.

Although it wasn't an impulsive decision to drink the remaining half bottle of red wine, Kiritani-kun simply wanted to satisfy his father-in-law, Yuki Shozo, to the point of absolute satisfaction, which is why he did it... He didn't think about the consequences at all.

"Kazuto, you're awake?"

"Ah...where am I?"

Opening his blurry eyes, Kirigaya raised his hand to shield his eyes from the slightly glaring light, and then saw Asuna's expression, which contained both joy and a hint of helplessness and worry. Kirigaya scratched his head, "It should be... your house? Cough, I'm fine, don't worry."

"I know you're fine, but why did you suddenly start drinking?"

Holding a warm towel to wipe the sweat from Kiritani's forehead, Asuna asked with a hint of confusion.

"I miss your old man, my father-in-law is more satisfied with me... Oh right, how long have I been asleep!"

"It's evening now. You've slept for about seven or eight hours. Are you hungry?"

"I'm quite hungry."

He smiled slightly and reached out to grasp Asuna's wrist. Seeing Asuna's somewhat subtle expression, his smile widened. With a slight pull, he dragged Asuna onto the bed. Kiritani quickly turned around and pressed her down on the bed. His movements were a little rough, but Asuna did not resist at all. Her cheeks were already flushed with embarrassment.

"No...this is home."

"...I didn't plan to do anything. Asuna is really overthinking things. I didn't even consider the idea of ​​eating first or taking a bath first, or even eating me first."

"You're the one overthinking it!"

"Well……"

Kirigaya-kun lowered his head and kissed Asuna, a bright smile spreading across his face. "Hey, Asuna, do you know what happened during my conversation with your father?"

"I don't know! But I can probably guess!"

Asuna tilted her head slightly. Kirito-kun's current expression, like a child who had gotten a perfect score on a test and wanted to show off to his family, made her feel a little amused.

However, her usually strict mother did not interfere with the matter at all, and since Kiritani-kun was carried out of the study drunk, Asuna could easily imagine the situation at the time—in short, the matter was settled!

"No, you'll never guess, you absolutely won't!"

"It's just that my father agreed..."

"No! It's not that simple!"

Kiritani took a deep breath and shared the news with Asuna—"We're getting married!"

"This isn't what I expected... Wait, should I take it?"

Asuna blinked blankly. Why was it "want"? Normally, at this age, even if marriage were to be discussed, shouldn't there be an engagement first? Why was it "want" to get married now?

"Yes, we're getting married!"

He rested his head on Asuna's chest, gently inhaling the fragrance emanating from her. "Your father has begun preparing, or rather, arranging, our wedding—it's set for the day after tomorrow!"

"Well, although I also think it's a bit too fast, your father seems very enthusiastic about our marriage!"

"...Is that so? I really...didn't expect that at all."

If Asuna was astonished when she heard her mother's answer during the day, the news that the wedding date was set and would be in just a few days truly shocked her.

The expected melodramatic plot twists, such as the supposed beating of the couple, didn't happen. Instead, the melodramatic scene of setting a wedding date on the spot occurred. It would be impossible not to be shocked.

"So... you agreed?"

Asuna pursed her lips, her pretty eyes filled with anticipation and concern.

What?! So Asuna thought the same thing!

"Of course I agree. It's only a matter of time before it happens. Besides, you're so looking forward to it, so isn't it good to do it a little sooner?"

"—It's your decision."

Marrying the person you love most is undoubtedly the happiest thing, especially when both of you feel the same way. The joy seems to be amplified, blooming like a flower in full bloom.

"It's wonderful. During the day, I was thinking about what our engagement ceremony would be like, but in just ten hours, we skipped the engagement process and are about to walk down the aisle."

"Oh right, Kazuto-kun is about to go to his grave with me."

"...Well, being able to be buried with the one I love most is quite a blessing!"

Wait a minute, doesn't this kind of statement still feel a bit cheesy?

"...It's best not to say things like that; it feels really bad!"

You were the one who said it first; I'm just giving the best answer from this perspective.

"Get up, I'll go cook you something. Later... are we going anywhere else? Or perhaps, are you staying here tonight?"

"Well... how about you come with me to the dojo later?"

It's a little past 8 PM now, and it won't take long to get back to the dojo from here. Besides, I need to tell my family about the wedding, even though I feel like my parents probably already know.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say today."

And so, the matter was settled.

Ps:

Well, I feel a bit out of sorts right now, and my writing is completely bland... I reckon you can tell. If it's just about updating, I'm fine, it's just...

I can't even begin to describe the happiness I feel as I get closer to my wedding!
