"Hmm, I don't understand!"

Asuna nodded silently, looking at Haruno who was combing her hair through the reflection in the mirror. "Jewelry doesn't matter. Besides, these things are troublesome anyway, so there's really no need for them."

"If you don't understand, just ask. Of course, I came here because you're going to marry someone."

With a smile, Yang Nai straightened Asuna's long hair, running her fingers through the smooth strands. Her eyes held a hint of sadness. "Losing so suddenly, without any warning, is always a bit painful. And as the loser... I want to see the winner's most perfect makeup."

"Don't worry! Kazuto must have told you that I'm a super hypocritical guy, right? Besides, I like to play tricks and my thoughts are hard to fathom. Well, just take those words seriously. Yukinoshita Haruno is that kind of person. Although Haruno-senpai is just a little neurotic... I'll be very well-behaved!"

"What was that saying again? Hmm... It's always been difficult to have both? A draw is impossible. There will always be winners and losers. Our goals are actually the same, but the difference is that everyone wants to stand by his side. Before, it was her, it was me, it was us, and now it's you—sacrifice is inevitable. The impossible thing of everyone being able to be happy probably only exists in parallel worlds, right?"

Setting down the comb, Yang Nai let out a soft sigh and slowly sat down beside Asuna. "Don't doubt it, I'm feeling very depressed right now, even very irritable! But no matter how bad I feel, it's useless. Even if I resort to some tricks... it won't work! It will only make him dislike me more, which is unnecessary."

Yang rubbed her eyes, looked at Asuna's complicated expression, and bit her lip. "Really, I'm so envious... so envious of you."

I also want to wear a gorgeous wedding dress, or a white kimono, and walk down the aisle with him... Ah, I'm starting to get jealous!

"I……"

"Don't make that face."

Asuna's face was full of complicated expressions. She opened her mouth to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Haruno.

She waved her hand forlornly, "Don't give me that look of pity or reluctance, it would be too ironic. And you'd better not have any strange feelings either. I just want to see your wedding with him take place..."

They looked at him with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"It's a bit too much to have a good mindset. For a bride to act like this at a time like this, with those troubled expressions she keeps showing, is just too inappropriate."

Yang Nai picked up the veil placed beside her and began to gently adjust it, following the way she had seen it applied not long ago. "The time seems to be about right?"

"Yes, Miss Yukinoshita."

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Shen Zhi appeared, staring blankly at the two of them.

"Oh... it's done! Mmm, it looks beautiful!"

With her hands clasped together, Haruno looked at Asuna, who was now fully dressed, and nodded in satisfaction.

Asuna turned around, "Um, Haruno-senpai..."

"Stop talking, we're a little rushed, you guys go first, I'll touch up my makeup and catch up right away... I'm going to be a bridesmaid!"

"..."

"..."

"...Okay, then hurry up, Haruno-senpai?"

"Okay, okay, I'll be right away."

Watching the bride walk out of the room with Shinji, Haruno's smile gradually faded. She looked at herself in the mirror and laughed self-deprecatingly, "This feels a bit pathetic... The meaning of not sending invitations is quite obvious, isn't it? They just don't want me to suffer like this?"

"Ha... From now on, he belongs to someone else!"

Yang Nai raised her hand to her forehead, obscuring her vision as well, and her voice became hoarse and low.

"My heart is breaking!!!"

Ps:

I should be able to finish Asuna's route by tomorrow, then I'll start with watermelon...

Well, we'll talk about the rest later. My head is killing me right now, so I'm going to go to sleep. (Um, could I ask for some tips or something? I haven't seen a 10,000-yuan reward in ages...)

【NO.504 Today, we got married (The ending, perhaps?)】

Although parents all want to make the wedding grand, a large-scale event can be troublesome, especially for someone like Kiritani who dislikes trouble and prefers to keep things as simple as possible—of course, even if the event can't be too big, it obviously won't be too small either.

As for the kind of wedding where you just get a marriage certificate and then privately invite a few close friends, that's impossible...

The parents' response to this was—"We'll try our best!" That's all they could say.

Time flies, and even inside the dojo, you can feel the festive atmosphere outside. But this is just a wedding... isn't it a bit too grand?

Mr. Kiritani looked incredibly handsome today, but he was also incredibly speechless. "Didn't you say you were going to prepare an all-black outfit?"

As everyone knows, Kirito loves black. Regardless of the title "Black Swordsman," which doesn't really have much to do with her, she has a special fondness for pure black. However, the outfit prepared for her is pure white... although, it looks even better that way.

Timeless and tranquil.

His pure white attire, adorned with an exquisite corsage on his chest, and his long, flowing hair styled into a neat ponytail, combined with his gentle features and bright eyes, made him a rare and handsome young man. Especially when he wore the black-rimmed glasses given to him by Kato Megumi, a sense of maturity and intellect immediately emerged.

The sharpness and ruthlessness that existed in his youth were hidden behind his glasses. This boy, who looked quite gentle and steady, was so much better than his usual lazy and somewhat irresponsible self.

"Indeed, pure white feels much better than pure black."

Holding the tie in her hand, she fastened it for Kiritani-kun, and then straightened her collar. Kiritani Midori took two steps back, looking at her son who was about to start a family, and nodded with great satisfaction. Or rather, there was never a time when she was dissatisfied with her son.

Initially, Kiritani Midori, unaware of her son's intentions, felt that her son was somewhat useless when he abandoned his kendo practice and gave up his position as the dojo's top disciple. However, her son soon displayed even more dazzling talents. Perhaps it was a bit shameful to talk about the profession of an erotic creator, but it was definitely not something to be ashamed of. After all, it was her son's idea, and Kiritani Midori would not interfere.

Whether a child can succeed depends not only on the parents' education, but also on the son's determination and ability to take action.

Excellent. Kirito then perfectly demonstrated his talent: the second-in-command of a top-notch club, a shareholder of the Kousaka Group, a renowned manga artist... These are titles that not everyone can achieve at this age, especially considering that he accomplished them two years ago.

It really makes me proud!

"I still think black is better."

Kiritani-kun was still finding it a little hard to adjust; after all, habits can be quite powerful.

"Ryunosuke, Hachiman, Kenshin, and Shunsei are all dressed in black today, just to make you stand out even more! Don't worry, white suits you perfectly too... In fact, any combination would look good, right? After all, you're my son."

"……Um."

Kiritani glanced at the mirror beside him, making sure there were no other problems, then raised his hand to push up his glasses. The lenses reflected a dazzling light, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly at that moment.

"Let's go! As you and Asuna discussed, this wedding will be simpler, eliminating unnecessary procedures. Let's head straight to the church now."

"Ok."

As expected, I'm still very nervous!

But it has to be said that this is a very happy thing. Asuna is willing to entrust the rest of her life to him, and he also wants to accompany her through everything from now on. Kirito believes that companionship is the only way to lasting love.

From now on, I will have to take on more responsibility for Asuna.

Of course, Kiritani-kun doesn't feel nervous about these responsibilities; he's just a little nervous about things he's never even imagined before, and about the unknown.

marry!

It's a very beautiful word.

With Shozo Yuuki's permission, Kyoko Yuuki's approval, and their own parents' happiness, although they didn't receive many blessings from friends, everything was ready.

The wedding ceremony then began.

While they could certainly wait until they graduate, given their current age, both Kiritani and Asuna would rather get married right now than wait that long.

Perhaps this will better dispel those people's ideas and prevent their youth from being wasted due to time.

The period from adolescence to youth is undoubtedly the golden stage of life. If one cannot make a decisive response due to such hesitation and indecisiveness, it will only cause greater harm to one's future and there will be no beauty in it.

Therefore, the wedding proceeded in a rushed manner.

We drove to the decorated hall in the wedding car. The scene wasn't too big or too small, but most of the attendees were family. Apart from a few very close friends, not many people were present. But that makes sense. Given the rushed time and Kiritani-kun and Asuna's requests, it was indeed quite grand. But—for a wedding, there's really no need for so many unnecessary things.

Today is considered an auspicious day. Even though it's not a traditional wedding, the older generation still values ​​the concept of auspicious dates.

The simplified process, jumping straight into the wedding ceremony, is indeed rare. As the wedding car approached the church, many familiar figures could be seen standing on the lawn outside, chatting idly. This was paid for by the Kiritani family to entertain the guests...

When the wedding car arrived, everyone drank the wine they were holding, nodded to Kiritani-kun who could see the scene, and then slowly walked towards the hall.

Before long, two luxurious and fragrant wedding cars stopped in front of the hall. The best man and the bridesmaid walked out from behind and opened the doors of the two cars. Kiritani and Asuna stepped out at the same time. When their eyes met, they smiled naturally, their smiles filled with happiness.

The wedding dress was clearly meticulously prepared, pure white and flowing, radiating a pure and elegant glow. Her bare shoulders and delicate collarbones, along with a strand of chestnut hair falling to her chest, and her pretty eyes displaying an irrepressible joy and happiness, perfectly complemented the pure white wedding dress and showcased Asuna's charm even more.

For most women, there is only one chance in their long yet limited lives to wear a wedding dress, and that is the most beautiful and happiest moment.

This was Asuna's first and last wedding. The groom was the person she loved most and who loved her most. At this moment, without any other thoughts or ideas, Asuna, holding flowers, walked over naturally and gracefully and gently took Kirito's hand.

"Asuna, you look even more beautiful today than usual, hmm, perhaps stunning?"

"Then please don't leave me with any more questions! ... Hmm, I'm a little nervous."

"...Actually, I was very nervous too."

"It's okay. It feels completely different when you have someone by your side."

"Let's go, from today onwards we'll be husband and wife."

Kiritani held Asuna's hand and said softly.

The wedding ceremony begins!

The palace-like hall doors opened at that moment, and several girls and boys dressed in simple white clothes walked out and stood on either side of the door. Looking inside, the floor was covered with a bright red carpet, leading directly to the master of ceremonies.

The boys and girls standing neatly on both sides of the red carpet smiled and cheered as Kirito and Asuna stepped onto the red carpet. The seats on both sides of the red carpet were filled with familiar faces, such as members of the club, creators like Yoshihiro Togashi, Tite Kubo, and Gen Urobuchi, as well as editors like Nancy, Touko Amano, and Ayano Iida, and many others...

Bringing up such a close relationship at this time would be somewhat inappropriate.

At the front, the parents sat on either side. The couple closest to Kirito were Yuki and his wife, while the couple closest to Asuna were Kirito and his wife. As they walked over, Kirito and Asuna stopped and turned to look at each other's parents.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Yuuki Shozo looked at Kiritani-kun, nodded with satisfaction, stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a heavy tone, "You look much more mature now. Well, I won't say anything more sentimental or unnecessary. We've seen your relationship over the years. From now on, treat Asuna well and fulfill your responsibilities as a husband! And most importantly, don't let my daughter suffer any injustice! Understand?"

"It's my honor! And it's only natural!"

In a solemn and very formal manner, Kiritani-kun uttered these somewhat awkward words.

Yuuki Shozo smiled and nodded. "Yes, that's good!"

Then, Kiritani looked at Yuuki Kyoko, whose expression was not much and whose face did not change much at this moment. Kiritani knew that this was just due to her personality. In fact, Yuuki Kyoko had a lot of inner feelings, but she just didn't know how to express them.

"...This is Asuna's decision, and I can support her choice, but you must do what is required."

Looking at Kiritani-kun, Kyoko Yuuki remained silent for a few seconds before uttering the lines she had thought of for a long time.

Kiritani smiled and said, "Of course, I'll take care of Asuna from now on."

Finally, that was Rito Yuuki...

His expression was quite subtle, perhaps because he had realized that the so-called Kiritani Kazuko was actually Kiritani Kazuto, or perhaps because he hadn't quite adjusted to seeing his sister getting married.

He took two steps forward, raised his hand and punched Kirigaya-kun in the chest with considerable force. "Hey, I'll just say one thing—treat my sister well!"

With a slight smirk, Kiritani-kun said with a hint of amusement, "Don't worry, I can do that without you even telling me!"

Then, Rito Yuuki smoothed out the wrinkles in Kirito's clothes and said seriously, "I hope you're not just saying that!"

Similarly, a similar scenario is unfolding on the other side...

Although Kirigaya Nagato is usually very talkative and doesn't hesitate to do things like tricking his son, he was stammering now and even forgot what he was going to say at the beginning, which was a bit embarrassing. Kirigaya Midori couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him back, got up and walked to Asuna.

"Hmm, I feel that it's better like this now than the traditional white kimono."

Kiritani Midori was undoubtedly very happy. Parents hope their son will become successful and accomplished. He had established himself before even starting a family, and now he was about to start one. She couldn't be happier... Happiness came somewhat suddenly.

Therefore, Kiritani-kun's wedding was entirely organized by her and Yuuki Kyoko, who fulfilled all her requirements.

"Well, if you want to try it, you can try it later, using the traditional method..."

With a gentle and loving smile, Kiritani Midori sighed, "Kazuto probably won't be able to take good care of you, so I'll have to trouble you to look after him..."

"That's what a wife should do."

Asuna may not have the traditional concept of being a good wife and mother, but her desire to take care of Kiritani-kun has never changed.

Beside her, Suguha had her eyes closed and her teeth biting her lip, as if she was enduring something. When Asuna's gaze fell on her, she seemed to sense it as well, and slowly opened her eyes, her thoughts and countless words turning into a sigh.

"My brother, I'm begging you!"

"Ok!"

After the conversation ended, Kirito extended his hand in their direction, and Asuna, with a radiant smile, placed her hand on it and shook it firmly.

"Mr. Kiritani, are you willing to marry Ms. Yuki, who is beside you, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, until death do you part?"

"Yes!"

Hand in hand, as Kiritani answered the emcee's question, a slow smile crept onto his lips, his dark eyes gazing directly into her pretty face, which held a hint of shyness but was filled with happiness. "I do!"

"So, Miss Yuki, are you willing to marry Mr. Kiritani, who is by your side, as your husband? For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, until death do you part?"

Asuna didn't respond. Instead, she tilted her head slightly, slowly raised her left hand, and looked at Kiritani-kun with a playful expression.
