Chapter 2

October 7, 2026

Asuna happily hopped up the path, pushing her boyfriend, Kazuto. Little did Kazuto know, Asuna was holding a small wicket basket on her arm, with some of his favorite things inside.

Finally, after walking for what it seemed like forever, Asuna took the bandana off to reveal a blanket on a grass hill overlooking a lake.

"Wow…just wow Asuna" Kazuto said with an awe filled look on his face. "Thank you, Asuna" pulling her in to his embrace.

"Ah ah ah" teased Asuna with a grin on her face, jumping out of the way. Asuna pulled the basket from behind her back, revealing the contents inside, sitting down on the blanket.

Kazuto, after pouting a little bit, sat down beside her. He grabbed one of the bags and unwrapped to reveal his favorite meal, a homemade spicy sandwich. With a smile on his face, he began to ravenously bite into his food. After he was done, he thanked Asuna for his meal and they sat there, in each arms.

"So…" Kazuto said to break the silence, "How are you doing". "Good…oh I forgot!". Asuna tackled Kazuto in a hug, kissing him on the lips intimately.

Little did they know, Liz saw them and was watching them from a bench in the park nearby. When they were down, Liz came over and approached the couple.

"Hey lovebirds!" Liz chanted to them, both Kazuto and Asuna blushing furiously. "H-How much did you see, Liz?" Asuna nervously murmured.

"All of it" pronouncing it slowly, word by word, in a joking manner. "

"Well anyway… What did you want to see us for?" Kazuto asked with a small frown on his face.

Liz punched him on the arm. "You don't remember?" with a fake shocked look on her face.

"Uh…Nope" Kazuto muttered under his breath, Liz still hearing him. "As expected… Well anyway, you are just going to have to see.". Liz gave a thumbs up to Asuna, as she blindfolded the poor Kazuto again…

As Liz and Asuna pushed Kazuto mercilessly, still with a blindfold, towards a greyish wood building. They removed the blindfold from his face and he walked in, seeing a rather large man, cleaning shot glasses.

"Hey Agil" Kazuto said with a small smirk on his face. "Did you remodel the place recently? It looks like your shop in Algade." He teased, smirk still on his face.

"At least I let you stay there for free" Agil teased back, "Oh and happy birthday". He promptly smacked Kazuto lightly on the back.

Kazuto heard the door open up, and in walked a party of 5 more, and a broad smile came to his face. The people that walked in were: Klein, Yuuki (Konno), Sinon (Asada), Silica, and his sister.

After everyone walked in, they all sat at separate tables, Klein and Kazuto at the table in the front corner.

"So, Kir… Kazuto, how's it going" Klein said with his usual wide grin.

"Uh good, just finishing high school, I'm almost done. How's it going with your job?" Kazuto asked.

"W-Well I got a new one… I swear I didn't get fired… maybe" Klein said looking away from Kazuto's eyes.

Kazuto just rolled his eyes and went to talk to everyone else, as Klein walked up to the bar and was drinking up a storm.

As soon as everyone he went to sit next to Asuna, who was talking to Yuuki, both clearly excited and happy that Yuuki was finally out of the hospital.

Asuna POV

"So… Zekken" Asuna dragging out the last word jokingly, "How are you getting used to school and such?"

"Well, I finally got into a school where they don't make fun of me and Doctor Kurahashi took me in as my guardian!" Yuuki exclaimed gleefully

Yuuki took note that Kazuto sat next to Asuna quietly, not wanting to interrupt the conversation.

"Oh yeah, Kazuto, Happy birthday!" Yuuki smiled at him

"Oh thanks, how are you doing Yuuki? You doing okay after getting out of the hospital?" Kazuto asked, concerned

Right as Yuuki was going to explain it again, a wave of nausea hit her, and she hit the table with a loud THUD.
