After Argo left, Luo Zhen returned to the cabin and continued to live with Asuna and Yui as if nothing had happened.
Although Asuna cast a somewhat inquiring look at Luo Zhen because she knew Luo Zhen's purpose of going out, Luo Zhen did not tell Asuna all the information she learned from Argo.
It's not that she doesn't want to say it, she's just afraid of causing unnecessary psychological burden to Asuna.
After all, up to now, Asuna has completely regarded Yui as her daughter. If Asuna is told that Yui's identity is still a mystery, and she may not even be a player, then Asuna may have too much worry Maybe.
Therefore, Luo Zhen decided that it would be better not to tell Asuna about this for the time being.
So, Luo Zhen claimed that Argo's investigation was not over yet, and just came to tell him that the facts might be more difficult than imagined, so more time was needed to investigate, and then left.
Asuna was a little doubtful. Why did she have to go all the way when it was a matter of this level that she could just send a message? But since Luo Zhen said so, Asuna stopped thinking about it and continued to work for Luo Zhen and Yue. Clothing and cooking.
As for Yui, she is naturally still the same innocent and romantic person. She has no doubt that Luo Zhen did anything bad when she went out. She is still clinging to Luo Zhen as always, and she is so cute.
Just like that, night came again.
After eating and taking a shower, the family in the Forest House prepared to go to sleep early.
"I want to sleep with my parents."
Yui put forward the request that she had been insisting on in the past few days with ease, which made Luo Zhen and Asuna smile bitterly one after another, but they were no longer as resistant as they were on the first day. Even though they seemed a little hesitant, they still had a Yui returned to the room together and lay on the same bed.
Of course, Cai Die and Hua Die still walked together and fell asleep early at the head of the bed.
Yui also fell into a deep sleep after Asuna sang a song for her, letting her even breathing begin to rise and fall from her body.
Luo Zhen and Asuna slept next to Yui, one on the left and the other on the right. Looking at Yui's cute sleeping face, no one actually chose to fall asleep for a while.
It wasn't until a while later that Asuna suddenly spoke with a sad expression.
"How long can we maintain this kind of life?"
Asuna seemed to have made such a question unconsciously, and by the time she reacted, the words had already reached Luo Zhen's ears.
"When...?"
Luo Zhen was just about to smooth Yui's bangs on her forehead, but when she heard Asuna's words, she immediately stopped.
However, after a while, Luo Zhen resumed his actions and continued to smooth Yui's bangs on her forehead.
Then, Luo Zhen said this.
"Either we are called back to the front line, or Yui finds her home."
This is the final whistle that announces the end of life for a family of three.
Luo Zhen said it honestly, which inevitably made Asuna feel distressed and reluctant.
Because this is equivalent to telling Asuna that this kind of life cannot be maintained forever and will end one day.
And when Luo Zhen and Asuna return to the front line, or when Yui recovers her memory, remembers everything, and returns to her own place, that will be the end of this life.
After all, Luo Zhen and Asuna can't always live a secluded life here.
Forget it about Asuna. Even though she is the deputy leader of the "Knights of the Blood Alliance", she is not the only one in charge of the "Knights of the Blood Alliance". If Heathcliff is there, it doesn't matter if Asuna is not there. At most It's just one less powerful player.
But Luo Zhen is different.
He is the leader of the strategy team, the only president of "Red Wings", and even the hope of all players in SAO. If Luo Zhen does not return to the front line, it will be a huge loss for all players. , which is an even more devastating blow to the strategy team, which will cause the team to lose no more damage and no longer be able to maintain it.
At that time, players will need to use their lives to defend the floor boss, and they will feel despair and fear, and will no longer be able to continue to attack the floor.
In view of this, Luo Zhen must return to the front line.
The closed beta players need him.
Players in the strategy group need him.
All players around the world need him.
In view of this, Asuna knew from the beginning that her life with Luo Zhen would be ended sooner or later.
And it is equally impossible for Yui to stay here forever.
She most likely has her own home.
She most likely has her own family and companions.
If her memory is restored, then Yui will definitely choose to go back, right
To sum up, this life will end sooner or later. This is something Asuna knew early on.
But it was precisely because of knowing that Asuna felt sad.
if you can…
"I really want to live this kind of life forever."
Asuna couldn't help but speak in a low voice, expressing her true feelings.
Luo Zhen didn't know what to say, so he could only ask with a wry smile.
"Then you don't want to go back to the real world?"
Luo Zhen asked this question.
Faced with Luo Zhen's question, Asuna pondered for a while before answering.
"Of course I want to go back."
yes.
Of course I want to go back.
Who wouldn't want to go back
only…
"Although I want to go back, I don't want to lose the memory of living here. Even though it took me a while to understand it, in the past two years, I finally lived like myself and no longer blindly responded to other people's expectations. of dolls.”
This was the first time Asuna spoke her mind like this.
"So living in this world is also important to me."
This is an idea that Asuna would never have thought in the past.
But now, for Asuna, this is a very natural thought.
Especially the life during this period of time has given Asuna a sense of happiness that she would never have had since ancient times.
Just the life of these ten days was enough for Asuna to tell everyone with certainty.
“I definitely don’t regret coming into this world.”
Asuna was finally able to say this with certainty.
Compared to the rapier user in the past who fought desperately to return to reality and denied everything in this world, believing that everything in this world was false, the current Asuna has truly become extremely dazzling.
"Yeah?"
Luo Zhen didn't make any comment on this, just smiled slightly and looked at the ceiling.
Asuna was also pulled by Luo Zhen and looked towards the ceiling.
a long time…
"Go to sleep."
Luo Zhen said this in a low voice.
"Um."
Asuna responded slightly.
The two of them closed their eyes together and fell into sleep.
Even though these days will end one day, Luo Zhen and Asuna still tacitly decide to cherish every hard-earned day and never waste a single minute.
However, neither of them expected it.
Days like this ended faster than I imagined.
