"If I entrust Asuna to you, one day in the future, when you lose all honor, all status, all wealth, and are at the lowest point in your life, someone wants to do something to hurt Asuna, what will you do?"
Kyoko Yuki's last question made Asuna stunned for an instant, and the next moment, her eyes blushed silently.
No matter what excessive things Yuki Kyoko has done to her, the root of all unhappiness comes from a mother's selfless love for her daughter.
"Madam, I am a swordsman..."
Chen Mo stood up from the dining table, and immediately after that, an awe-inspiring aura that seemed to sting people's eyes suddenly swirled around him.
Picking up the sword pouch leaning against the table, and taking out the light blue long sword that Hestia gave him, Chen Mo smiled on his face, but there was no smile in his voice.
"My sword is not a decoration. If someone wants to hurt someone I cherish, he must first ask my sword if he agrees!"
……
After finishing the conversation with Yuki Kyoko, Chen Mo stayed at Yucheng's house for another afternoon. After dinner, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Asuna sent him out.
"Okay, Miss Yuki, don't give it away."
Under the dimly lit street lamp, Chen Mo turned his head and waved to the girl standing not far behind, saying, "Go back quickly, don't make your mother wait too long."
"Um……"
Slightly nodded, Yuuki Asuna did not move for a long time.
"Today's event..."
"It's over for today, we're still the same as before, don't worry, I won't tell Kirito about this."
Smiling and comforting the girl who was a little worried, Chen Mo suddenly remembered another thing.
"Ah, that's right..." Reaching out to take off the necklace from his neck, Chen Mo said a little embarrassedly: "I almost forgot, I'll give this back to you."
necklace……
Looking at the silver-white necklace in Chen Mo's hand, the small pendant swayed slightly under the street lamp, Yuuki Asuna forced a smile on his face, "You keep this, it's a souvenir I gave you."
"That's fine too."
Nodding, Chen Mo was not pretentious, hung the necklace back on his chest, then waved his hands, turned around and strode away. When the evening wind blew, it lifted his long clothes like the wings of a crow.
"Mr. Chen Mo!" Staring at the back that was drifting away from her, Yuuki Asuna suddenly shouted: "Goodbye!"
"Oh, goodbye!"
The man in the black windbreaker waved his hands without looking back, and his figure quickly merged into the night.
Yuuki Asuna was still standing under the street lamp, looking at the deep darkness ahead without focusing her eyes.
She has had an inexplicable fear of the dark since she was a child, which is not only due to the nature of girls, but also due to indifferent family factors.
However, at this moment, facing this darkness, she felt a warm and fulfilling sense of peace for the first time.
Because she knew that an absolutely invincible sword master was walking in this darkness, and anyone who dared to spread evil to those close to him would be cut down by his sword.
The vision suddenly became a little hazy, Yuuki Asuna raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and immediately felt a moist touch on the back of his hand.
If... the person she met in the starting town of SAO was not Kirito, but this man who seemed to be foolish, but was actually so reliable that he couldn't help but want to rely on him wholeheartedly, Then maybe, no, she will definitely fall in love with him...
Even now that he already has his own heart, isn't he already beginning to feel shaken?
But there are no ifs in this world.
So she and Chen Mo are destined to be friends, not lovers.
The most ambiguous relationship is just like today - a lover who only lasts for one day.
And today, it's over.
Standing under the dimly lit street lamp, Yuuki Asuna couldn't stop crying.
Farewell to my lover for a day...
Chapter 73 Some Cry, Others Laugh
Saying goodbye to Yuki Asuna, when Chen Mo returned home, it was already after ten o'clock.
However, to his surprise, the girls who usually stay in the room and refuse to come out, or go out and wander around, are all sitting in the living room at this moment, talking about something, and the lights are all turned on. The whole living room was illuminated spotlessly.
"Yo, are you doing anything?"
After entering the room and closing the door, Chen Mo put the sword bag back on the hanger and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are in such good spirits, why don't I get you some supper?"
"no, I'm fine!"
Sedno moved to the side for a bit, then patted the vacated seat, and said courteously, "Mr. Chen Mo, sit here and take a rest?"
There is nothing to be courteous about, rape or steal...
Looking around at the girls in the living room, Chen Mo could clearly see that the smiles on their faces were a bit malicious, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had nothing to be afraid of, so he strode to the sofa sat down before.
"Tell me, you are so abnormal today, what is the matter?"
"hey-hey……"
Said Nuo smiled and said nothing, and Froya, who usually walked closest to Chen Mo, also smiled and said nothing, but Tibi, who has always had no sense of presence, said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen Mo... today's date is going well, right?"
"Dang... Of course it went well!" Hearing Tibi's question about the date, Chen Mo subconsciously dodged his eyes with some guilt.
