Asuna held Zhang Yu's hand tightly, her fingers intertwined. She was nervous and excited, and very happy at this moment.

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

Zhang Yu instantly thought of the idea that surprised Asuna, but immediately returned to her original smooth smile.

"Well, that's not the case. The main reason... it was Shino's choice..."

"I'll tell you about this later. Don't talk about this for now. I think the imperial palace is quite interesting."

“… Interesting, where is it interesting?”

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

"This place is about two kilometers north and south, and one is 15 kilometers east and west. Combined with Kitanomaru Park and Outenyuan, the area is 2.3 million square meters, which accounts for 20% of the Chiyoda District. Overall, it is much larger than the Vatican or Buckingham Palace.

But it's still not as good as the Palace of Versailles... and it's not just a plane. There is no subway or tunnel passing through the ground here, and of course all planes are prohibited from flying over the sky. In other words, this place is a huge restricted area that runs vertically through the central Tokyo."

After saying that, Asuna tried to draw a map of Tokyo in her mind. Her left finger was spinning in the air while nodding in agreement.

"Indeed, the main roads in Duxin are probably named "Round Lines" or "Round Lines" and "Round Lines" and their centers are all this place..."

"Well, I'll give you a surprise later."

"Hmm? What surprise?"

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

As they were having a conversation, the trail bypassed the huge stone wall and turned into a very tilted uphill. After climbing silently for a while, the vision suddenly became quite spacious. In front of them was a large turf that could hardly be seen clearly.

The grass is withered and light brown because it is winter, and almost all the leaves of the surrounding trees have fallen off. But if it is spring, this place must be a pleasing sight.

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

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

Zhang Yu nodded at her and said softly.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Holding Zhang Yu's hand tightly, Asuna began to speed up. The figures were still quite rare, and they were almost all like foreign tourists.

On the way, they passed by a couple with a cute blonde sister, and they suddenly asked them to help take pictures. Zhang Yu agreed cordially, but the foreign wife smiled and said, "Let's take one for you too." So he and Asuna lined up together to take a photo.

After receiving the photo file with his mobile phone, the young sister waved goodbye to them. Looking at the family gradually fading away in the orange sunset, Asuna asked and sighed unknowingly.

“…tired?”

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

"It's not! We don't know if we can be like them... well... forget it."

The words that blurted out made Asuna's cheeks heat up, so she began to run forward.

"Hey, wait!"

After a little match with Zhang Yu, who was catching up with him, he immediately came to a small path that divided the turf into two parts. After seeing a stool at the fork intersection, the two sat down on it.

But Asuna still turned her face to the side. At this time, Zhang Yu had to hug her gently and said softly.

"Well... that... Yui will definitely be happy to have a sister."

Yes, he remembered it too.

The innocent and pure little angel called his father.

Hearing Zhang Yu's straightforward statement, Asuna blushed again, she couldn't help but chuckled gently.

"Say, that's right."

"You finally laughed. You really scared me just now..."

"Ah haha, sorry. But it would be great if Yui could live with us in the real world..."

Yui is the girl they met in the old SAO server. Her real identity is the player's mental status automatic management program, which is the so-called AI. She regards Asuna as her mother and Zhang Yu as her father.

When Ain Grant collapsed, both Zhang Yu and Asuna were suddenly transferred by Akihiko Kayaba.

Fortunately, Yui finally transferred the core program to Asuna's NERvGear and avoided being eliminated. It was because of Yui and Shino that Asuna could persist in the days without Zhang Yu.

But basically, you can only contact Yui in a completely stealth environment - that is, when NERvGear enters the game. Although you can communicate with her using a mobile phone in the real world, because of the battery capacity issue, Asuna cannot "always be with her."

That's right, even if Asuna loves Yui's daughter and Yui likes this mother, there are still barriers between the imaginary world and the real world...

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

"It doesn't matter, one day, I will definitely be able to live together. As long as the technology of stealth is more advanced, the augmented reality will definitely become more popular at that time."

As long as I keep getting stronger, I will definitely be fine.

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Asuna nodded deeply while shaking his hand back hard.

"Well... it must... it will."

Asuna suddenly raised her face and said.

"By the way, Yu. What was the surprise you were talking about?"

"Well... it may not be very convenient here."

Zhang Yu's gaze swam for a moment, and then he looked at his wrist again. The whole body of the Lance bracelet was black and smooth like jade. Due to the existence of an optical camouflage system, ordinary people could not see its existence at all.

“Not very convenient?”

After hearing what he said, Asuna tilted her head in confusion and looked at Zhang Yu.

"What should I do to be convenient?"

Zhang Yu said his conditions, but this was a different meaning to Asuna.

"We have to find a place where there is no one, where there are only two of us."

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

"...Yu, you won't think about H in your mind as soon as you come back."

The tone is full of coquettishness.

Zhang Yu raised his hand and said seriously at Asuna.
