Taking a closer look, in addition to Yuki Shozo sitting next to Asuna, there was a young man in Asuna's ward.
He was a man with a tall and slender figure, wearing a gray suit, and rimless glasses on his slightly elongated face. The pair of eyes under the thin lenses were as narrow as lines. It was as if he was wearing a pair of glasses forever. A man with a normal smile and an appearance of no more than thirty years old.
At this time, the other party was also looking at Luo Zhen who appeared at the door of the ward, with a smile on his face and nodded towards Luo Zhen.
Judging from the appearance of the opponent standing behind Yuuki Shozo, he should be someone related to , that is, someone like Yuki Shozo's assistant.
Luo Zhen glanced at the other party, and then looked at Yuuki Shozo.
"Hello, Mr. Yuuki." Luo Zhen bowed his head politely to Asuna's father and said, "I am Kiritani Qinghe, I believe you have heard of me."
Hearing this, Yuuki Akira nodded with a smile on his face, looking quite amiable.
"I know that you are the top figure in SAO who leads many players to attack together on the front line. Every player who wakes up from full stealth has mentioned you invariably, saying that without you, more people might die. , you have been protecting the middle and lower class players, and you have been leading the top players in the upper class, maintaining the order in SAO. Every strategy has been passed without damage, which is full of praise, even my daughter Are they all your subordinates?"
Yuuki Shozo said this to Luo Zhen without any sense of distance, obviously having a full understanding of Luo Zhen's identity.
"No, Asuna... Ms. Yuki is not my subordinate. We are in different guilds. She only needs to take orders from me when the strategy team needs to attack. So, strictly speaking, she should be considered mine. comrades."
Luo Zhen shook his head and made this explanation.
"Comrade"
Yuuki Shozo suddenly laughed bitterly.
"What? You don't believe it?"
Luo Zhen smiled slightly.
"You just find it unbelievable, right?" Yuki Shozo sighed, looked at Asuna lying on the bed, and said with some sadness: "This child has always listened to the arrangements of me and her mother, and has accepted it since she was a child. Elite education means that I never excelled at home, and even though my grades were among the best at school, I never made many friends."
As Asuna's father, Yuuki Shozo has a thorough understanding of Asuna's life from childhood to adulthood.
Therefore, Yuuki Shozo would sigh with emotion.
"We have always regarded her as a child who needs our guidance to grow up. I really didn't expect that after being involved in the SAO incident, instead of becoming one of the many people waiting for rescue and afraid of fighting, she was instead Pick up the sword, put on the equipment, step out of the safe circle, and fight outside the circle."
Yuuki Shozo stroked Asuna's pretty face and spoke lovingly.
“When I learned from the SAO Incident Emergency Response Team that my daughter was included in the files of many top players fighting on the front lines, I was really shocked, surprised, and couldn’t believe it at all. , this child can actually do this."
Obviously, Yuki Shozo was lamenting his incompetence.
How strong his daughter is and what kind of beliefs she holds, people like Yuuki Shozo, who have only arranged a full life for her since she was a child and trained her as a future social elite, will not understand. Right
That's why Shozo Yuuki felt emotional about the word "comrade".
Because he really couldn't imagine Asuna fighting on the front line as a warrior.
"I have also asked about you." Yuuki Shozo looked at Luo Zhen and said, "It is said that you were an orphan since you were a child. You grew up in an orphanage, but you are a sensational genius. Showing the talent and talent of a child prodigy, many wealthy families wanted to adopt you, but you rejected them. Later, you chose an ordinary family to become their adopted son. Later, in elementary school, you passed You have learned enough knowledge to get a degree by yourself, and you were allowed to skip a grade, but you still refused. In this way, you became the leader of many players in SAO and made so many contributions. It’s really surprising how talented you are.”
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that Yuki Shozo wants to meet Luo Zhen and have such a close conversation with Luo Zhen, right
Otherwise, Yuuki Shozo would not take it seriously if a strange child wanted to see his daughter who was not out of danger, and even wanted to contact SAO's server.
but now...
"My daughter must have received a lot of care from you."
Yuki Shozo stood up and bowed to Luo Zhen.
"Really, thank you so much."
Yuki Shozo thanked Luo Zhen very sincerely.
Looking at Yuuki Shozo's appearance, Luo Zhen knew that this father really cared about Asuna.
Although from Asuna's mouth, Luo Zhen learned that the Yuuki family never gave her the freedom and happiness of childhood, but constantly imposed various performance requirements on her, but as a parent, she still occupies a high position. It seems to be the norm for parents from wealthy families to have excessively strict requirements for their children.
This cannot be said to mean that the other party does not care at all about the life and death of his children.
It's just that they don't know how to love, they don't know how to love.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhen's expression also softened.
"I just did what I wanted to do. Please raise your head, Mr. Yuki."
Luo Zhen helped Yuuki Shozo up.
"Back to business." Luo Zhen looked at Yuuki Shozo and said, "Mr. Yuuki, I wonder if you can provide some convenience for my request?"
Luo Zhen was naturally referring to letting himself get in touch with the SAO server.
"this... "
Only then did Yuuki Shozo look embarrassed.
At this time, the man who had been standing aside came forward.
"Let me speak, President."
The man asked Yuuki Shozo for instructions.
"Who are you... ?"
Luo Zhen turned his head and looked at the other party.
The person who answered Luo Zhen's question was not the other party, but Yuuki Shozo.
"Let me introduce you." Yuki Shozo introduced to Luo Zhen: "This is the director of the complete stealth technology research department in our company. To me, he is a trustworthy person equivalent to my son. .”
"Hello." The other party immediately said cordially: "I am Nobuyuki Sugou, and I am affiliated with the complete stealth technology research department. Currently, my department is responsible for maintaining SAO's servers."
Hearing this, Luo Zhen made some guesses.
"It seems that Mr. Sugou doesn't approve of my wanting to access the server."
Luo Zhen smiled faintly at Sugou Nobuyuki.
In response, Sugou Nobuyuki smiled back.
"Yes." Nobuyuki Sugou said with a smile: "Although I heard that you are a great hero, it is related to the lives of three hundred players, including our president's daughter, who maintains the server. I have to be careful about the key personnel."
The implication is already obvious.
"The server matter is very important, and Mr. Kiritani is not a professional, so I'm sorry."
That's what Nobuyuki Sugou said.
