"Eh?!!"
With a frightened expression on his face, Asuna Yuki said in a panic: "But... no! Why did you say you want to go home with me so suddenly? Mother, she... you... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! No! Absolutely not!"
"Why can't it work, don't you just want to use me as a shield to make your mother give up and stop interfering in your marriage?" Blinking his eyes, Chen Mo took it for granted: "If that's the case, why don't you let me personally Meet your mother, I just want to meet this wonderful woman who forced her high school daughter to go out on blind dates with other men."
"But...but..."
"It's nothing to worry about, I've already made up my mind." Chen Mo shook his head unquestionably, and said firmly, "Let's go, Asuna, let's go home."
After speaking, he directly dragged Yuuki Asuna away from the entrance of the cinema.
……
How did things develop to this point?
Yuuki Asuna felt that her mind was in a mess, her eyes were a little dizzy, and her body slumped on the seat as if she was not exerting force.
"Asuna!"
The moment she lost her posture, a quiet but stern voice broke into her eardrums.
Hearing this voice, before the consciousness in his head could come back to his senses, his body, like a wind-up automaton, resumed its sitting posture.
"……sorry."
At the same time, such a small murmur came out of his mouth.
Although she is reluctant to admit it, Yuuki Asuna has to recognize the fact that Yuuki Kyoko, this woman who should be called mother, really controls everything about her - from body to spirit, Everything about her is under her control.
It is precisely because of this that she wants to rebel.
However, the allies who were originally invited by me to help her resist, why...why did they become like this?
"Ms. Yuki really has strict family laws."
On the seat opposite to Yuki Asuna, Chen Mo sat with his back straight, with a respectful smile like a spring breeze on his face.
"Where are you talking, Mr. Chen Mo was joking." It seemed that Chen Mo's words were very useful, and Kyoko Yuki covered her lips with her hand and smiled lightly.
High-backed chairs, plush carpets, thick mahogany dining tables, silver tableware and elegant candlesticks, white porcelain plates reflecting soft light under the lights...
This is the restaurant of Yuki's family. Not long ago, after seeing Chen Mo who came home with Yuuki Asuna, Yuuki Kyoko was not as furious as Asuna imagined after the initial shock. The decency of a noble lady and the courtesy expected of a head of a family.
But what surprised her the most was Chen Mo's betrayal besides her mother's attitude!
That's right, betrayal... It was clearly agreed to help her escape from her mother's control, but why did it turn out that the two of them are having such a happy conversation now?
"...Then, Mr. Chen Mo, how long have you known Asuna?"
"According to the time, it should have been almost two years?" Sensing the sharp gaze from Asuna Yuuki, Chen Mo chuckled unmoved: "The first time I saw the scene of Asuna, I still don't know I still remember."
Two years... that means we have known each other since the SAO game?
But fortunately, compared with Kiritani Kazuto's abandoned house, the man in front of him is quite appreciated by Yuki Kyoko.
Strong physique, decent speech, gentle temperament, and the halo on his body - [-]th degree of swordsmanship, undefeated swordsman.
As a traditional neon person, Yuki Kyoko has a good attitude towards kendo, so she followed the whole process of the nationally sensational kendo competition a few months ago. Among them, almost all the competitions where Chen Mo played It is over in an instant, and its overwhelming strength can be described as a veritable contemporary sword master.
Therefore, Yuki Kyoko's attitude towards Chen Mo and Kiritani Kazuto are completely different extremes. She asked with a smile, "Mr. Chen Mo was also affected by the SAO incident?"
"Well, because I heard that it is a world where you can go anywhere with only the sword in your hand, I tried it out of curiosity, but I didn't expect..."
Speaking of this, Chen Mo smiled shyly, and then looked at Asuna Yuuki who was staring at him upright in front of him with soft eyes, and then said: "But luck depends on misfortune, and it is precisely because When I chose to join SAO, I was able to meet an outstanding woman like Asuna and become a lover with her."
"I see." Nodding, Yuki Kyoko continued to ask: "But as far as I know, Asuna has been entangled with a boy named Kiritani Kazuto before, Mr. Chen Mo, you..."
coming!
Hearing Yuki Kyoko asking about Kirito, Yuuki Asuna clenched her hands under the dining table slightly. Whether this matter can be accomplished today depends on Chen Mo's next answer.
"Kirito-kun..."
There was no expression of panic on his face at all, Chen Mo just smiled flatly, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "An excellent woman like Asuna will radiate enough to attract the surrounding people no matter where she goes. The light of everyone's eyes, I was just a poor person who was overwhelmed by her demeanor and immersed in inextricable love, but Kirito is different, he is very strong, stronger than all players, so he can Standing next to Asuna, and I can only stand far away from the outermost edge of the crowd, silently watching her gleaming figure..."
Of course, what Chen Mo said was all made up by him, but when he heard Chen Mo's words, Yuuki Asuna instantly remembered the scene when he first met him.
Aincrad No. 70 has three floors. With such a level, the bosses on each floor are not easy to deal with. Even a master-gathered clearing team cannot avoid casualties during the clearing process.
It was an ordinary morning, and with the heavy-hearted players of the clearing group, she set foot on the conquest floor again. However, behind the portal, someone had already returned from the labyrinth area earlier than the clearing group.
With a pitch-black windbreaker and a blue long sword, he gave a slight salute with a smile like a gentleman, and then moved his feet to make way for the raiders.
At that time, she only thought that this was a high-level player in the field. Although she was a little concerned, she didn't take it too seriously, so she just smiled at him politely, and then led the players in the raiding group past the black-clothed swordsman and left. up.
Recalling the past memories, Yuuki Asuna's eyes were a little dazed, while Chen Mo continued: "But I don't hate Kirito, after all, this world is like this, the strong should have more and enjoy more. Only A strong person is worthy of a woman like Asuna who is outstanding in all aspects, so I don't have any jealousy or resentment, I just don't want to be reconciled, so I grit my teeth and catch up. I have seen it all, the person standing next to Asuna now is me, not Kirito."
"I understand." After listening to Chen Mo's words, Yuki Kyoko looked at him with more appreciation.
She does look down on the weak, but she looks down on those who give up on themselves even more.
Chen Mo is not weak, he has many admirable auras, and what is even more commendable is that he knows how to work hard when his form is weaker than others, instead of letting himself go and giving up on himself.
Such a person is indeed a good match for Asuna.
Turning her gaze between Asuna and Chen Mo, Kyoko Yuki said, "One last question."
"Madam, please tell me." Chen Mo still maintained an expression neither humble nor overbearing.
