Chapter 386: Kiss

"Hmm, is that so?"

The girl, as if losing her purpose in life, flopped onto the bed.

Then, Suguha Kirigaya's words made Roa's eyebrows twitch.

"Big brother, you abandoned your sister for two years, and you were dating other girls in the game, doing things like that, you're really, really awful!"

Suguha Kirigaya was enveloped in a dark aura. Seeing the situation was bad, Roa quickly said, "Well, I'll go downstairs first. Remember to come eat."

With that, he scurried away.

Seriously, girls' minds are so hard to guess.

Roa muttered to himself and started heading downstairs.

After having something to eat, there was nothing else to take care of.

Kazuto Kirigaya had his own things to deal with, and Suguha Kirigaya kept glaring at Roa with hostility during the meal, making Roa feel bewildered.

But these were just minor issues that were quickly resolved.

After dinner, he returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

However, the next morning, Roa received a phone call.

The caller was none other than Asuna's mother, Kyouko Yuuki.

She didn't waste any time and said directly, "Asuna is awake, but she's asleep now. The first thing she asked about when she woke up was you."

Kyouko Yuuki paused and continued, "It seems you two have been through a lot together, and those experiences have had a profound impact on both of you. If possible, I would like you to see her."

"Okay."

Roa didn't want to say much to her. Knowing that Asuna Yuuki was fine, the weight in his heart had lifted.

Today was Monday, and Suguha Kirigaya unfortunately had to go to school. She gave Roa a complicated look before hurrying off.

"Seriously, I wonder how long Suguha Kirigaya will hold this against me."

Roa sighed and grabbed his things to head out.

…

The scene shifts to the hospital. When Roa arrived, the girl had already woken up from her sleep and was staring blankly out the window.

Roa knocked on the door before entering the room.

There were already three people inside.

The Yuuki couple, and Asuna's older brother.

Although their meeting yesterday hadn't gone very well, Roa still greeted them.

Except for Kyouko Yuuki, the other two were quite enthusiastic, especially Asuna's father, who shook Roa's hand vigorously, expressing his gratitude and shame.

Roa responded with a few words, and then the man let go.

Roa then turned his gaze to Asuna Yuuki, who was sitting on the bed. After not seeing her for so long, Roa didn't know what to say.

What should he say?

Perhaps she didn't need too many words right now. Maybe she just needed a small hug, or a passionate kiss.

Roa didn't stand there like an idiot. He quickly walked to Asuna Yuuki's side, reached out and took her slender but slightly pale hand, and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Asuna Yuuki felt the warmth from his hand and was lost in thought. Her expression was still stiff, but a smile appeared on her lips.

"Naoki?"

The girl murmured softly, her clear voice echoing throughout the room.

The morning sun shone on the girl's chestnut hair, and she looked into Roa's eyes with her chestnut eyes, revealing endless tenderness.

"Yeah, it's me."

Roa responded to the girl's words. Asuna Yuuki wiped the corner of her eye, which was filled with tears.

"Finally, I'm out."

Asuna Yuuki leaned back on the hospital bed. The pale sheets and her pale patient gown made her look so fragile. Roa sighed softly and replied, "Yeah, you're out."

The three people in the room exchanged glances. Asuna's brother patted Roa on the shoulder, gave him a smile, and then led Kyouko Yuuki and the others out of the room.

After they left, Asuna Yuuki sighed in relief, and her tense spirit relaxed.

It seemed that having so many people gathered together had made her feel pressured.

Now that everyone was gone, the girl perked up.

She reached out and touched Roa's cheek, a faint smile on her face, and asked in a slightly weak voice, "You don't look like this in the game, you've become more handsome."

At this, the atmosphere in the room shifted from heavy to light.

Roa smiled and looked intently at the girl in front of him. He said seriously, "I'll take that as a compliment."

"Heh, your personality hasn't changed, still the same."

"I think you're the same too."

They talked for a long time, mostly about trivial things from SAO.

Roa was relieved to see that Asuna Yuuki was doing well.

There wasn't much to be sentimental about, as it had been so long.

For others, it was a memorable ordeal, but for Roa and Asuna Yuuki, it was a beautiful experience of adventure and mutual support.

Compared to Asuna in the original story, the Asuna by Roa's side was much happier.

With Roa supporting her, surrounded by good friends, and without the betrayal of close friends, she had companions from the beginning. In such circumstances, the threat of death was no longer so terrifying.

And if you get used to that kind of apprehensive life, you can discover the beauty of that world.

No heavy schoolwork, no excessive expectations from her mother. If death wasn't permanent, the unique scenery of that world would be quite beautiful.

She could hold Roa's hand, watching the sunrise, the morning light filling the world, or watch the sunset, the blood-red setting sun.

She could sit quietly in the vast grassland, enjoying the autumn breeze, which would blow through her hair and bring the scent of the boy.

Sitting there, just sitting quietly, without needing to do anything, she could feel an emotion called "happiness."

It was unprecedented comfort, unprecedented ease.

Thinking about this, Asuna looked at the boy so close to her, lost in thought.

Roa saw the obvious fatigue on Asuna Yuuki's face, reached out and stroked her soft hair, and kissed her cheek.

Although they were like an old married couple, and had done everything in the game, this was their first real-world contact. Two red spots instantly appeared on Asuna's face.

Reality was more real than the game, especially this feeling, which the game couldn't compare to.

The girl leaned against the boy's broad, sturdy chest. The touch of his firm muscles and the overwhelming masculine scent made her cheeks flush. She wrapped her arms around the boy's neck.

Just kissing her cheek was naturally not enough. The kiss didn't end so simply. Asuna Yuuki naturally reached out and took Roa's hand. Her palms were sweaty, and he heard her slight panting.

"Are you tired?" he asked.

"No," Asuna shook her head.

A simple kiss couldn't satisfy the girl's desire at the moment. She craved Roa, craved more love.

The girl's hair hung over Roa's shoulders, and a faint fragrance filled his nostrils. The ends of her hair swayed slightly with her movements, gently brushing against Roa's face.

Birds were singing, and the leaves outside were rustling.

Roa wasn't in the mood to look at the world outside. He focused all his attention on the girl.

Overwhelmed by desire, Roa wasn't satisfied with this level of kissing. He wanted more.

They looked at each other and made a tacit decision.

A warm sensation came over them as they immersed themselves in the feeling of each other, forgetting time, with only each other's figures in their eyes.

After a long time, their lips parted.

Perhaps it was because the weather was a bit hot, or perhaps it was because it was noon.

Roa saw that the back of the girl's patient gown was damp.

Asuna Yuuki's body was still too weak. Although she had the best medical care here, she still needed to take good care of her body.

Roa didn't continue. Although he was reluctant to leave her lips and loved that delicate touch, now wasn't the time to do such things.

Asuna's breathing had clearly become rapid, and her forehead was also covered in sweat.

Roa looked at the girl and sighed softly, "Rest well."

Asuna Yuuki's cheeks were flushed, and although she looked flustered, she was secretly delighted.

She looked at Roa with her bright eyes and slowly replied, "Okay."

Roa got up and closed the curtains.

Asuna Yuuki didn't do as Roa said, but instead kept her bright, clear eyes on him.

When Roa finished, Asuna asked, "When will you marry me?"

"Hmm, when you're feeling better, we'll go get our marriage certificate."

After visiting Asuna Yuuki, the remaining days were uneventful.

After the big event, this period was a rare vacuum.

After dealing with that scumbag, he was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Time always takes away many worries. Suguha Kirigaya, who had been sulking, calmed down after a week.

Asuna Yuuki didn't stay in the hospital for long. After a week, she was clamoring to leave.

The Yuuki couple were usually very busy, and this incident had caused their family's finances to decline. Their well-maintained appearances now looked somewhat haggard.

Now that Asuna Yuuki had successfully woken up, things had become a bit more complicated.

Because she hadn't been in contact with the outside world for almost two years, she was considered out of touch with society. In this situation, it would definitely be inappropriate to follow Kyouko Yuuki's education plan.

According to Kyouko Yuuki's plan, Asuna Yuuki should have been sent abroad to study.

But this matter had been delayed.

Even so, Kyouko Yuuki still mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally, and the result, of course, was strong opposition from Asuna Yuuki.

The marriage procedures in Japan weren't that complicated. There were simple ways to get married. Getting a certificate was considered marriage.

According to Asuna Yuuki, marriage was fine as long as she agreed. However, Roa still informed Asuna Yuuki's parents in advance.

Actually, Roa thought that Kyouko Yuuki would make things difficult, since this mother's requirements for a son-in-law should be quite high, as he could tell from her treatment of Asuna Yuuki when she was young.

But to Roa's surprise, Kyouko Yuuki didn't object. She just remained silent, which was a tacit acceptance of their relationship.

They didn't say anything, so things naturally went smoothly. And so, in this year, Roa had a beautiful wife.

His harem had gained another member.

Asuna Yuuki was a gentle person. She was very careful in handling things, and had received a high-level aristocratic education, so she could easily solve many problems.

As a wife, she was undoubtedly excellent.

Roa, immersed in this gentle embrace, felt himself becoming more and more decadent.

He craved the girl's body, loved every inch of her skin, and every day was incredibly passionate.

Time passed quickly, and it was already mid-July, two weeks after they had gotten married.

With things mostly settled, Roa had other ideas in his mind.

The world of SAO had come to an end. Roa had other things to deal with. Although he wanted to continue living in peace, reality was always cruel. Roa wasn't the strongest yet, and he had the big problem of the Human God to deal with.

To be safe, Roa had to become stronger, even stronger, to be qualified to deal with this matter.

In other words, he still needs to transmigrate once more, to a new world to embark on a new adventure and learn new abilities.

Now is not the time for comfort, and he cannot take all this wonderful life for granted.

He still has others behind him, and even more challenges ahead.

So, one day, Roa said to Asuna Yuuki: "I have something to do and need to go back to the Kirigaya house. It will probably take about half a day. Asuna, you don't need to cook my meal."

Asuna Yuuki, who was lying back in her chair playing with her phone, glanced at him and casually responded, still lazily reclining in the chair.

Recently, Roa has been exhausting her quite a bit. She doesn't know why the young man always has so much energy.

Roa simply smiled at the girl's lazy demeanor. The way they get along is actually quite casual.
