KIRITO'S POV
"Yui? What do you think of this one?" I asked my in-game daughter as I leaned on the thick glass.
I decided to take her along using my phone since Asuna was using the Audio-Visual Probe for Yuuki for their trip to Kyoto. I ought to buy Asuna something I promised her a long time ago in Aincrad early while my wallet is still hot. Although I'll be giving this to her a little later in the year and it'll be hard to lie to her but I've made up my mind to pursue this sooner than later.
"I like it Papa but I think Mama would prefer something simpler" she said, her voice loud and clear enough for me to hear as I tried my best to position the camera properly for her to see.
"Hmm, you're right on that one"
"How about we check another store? Maybe there's simpler and cheaper ones"
"You're Mama doesn't deserve cheap Yui"
"Oh sorry Papa, I just thought that simpler would mean cheaper" the girl replied, worry straining her voice
"I'm just kidding Yui, calm down but it's true though. Your mom deserves the world. I don't want to give her something cheap"
"I bet Mama would prefer it Papa"
"How can you be so sure?"
"Well, for starters, Mama would sometimes tell me how much she hates having expensive things that don't even last that long that's why she prefers to buy less expensive things" she replied with a giggle
"I was thinking, if I'm going to give her something her mom will see, I want it to be extravagant" I replied as I walked outside the store and started wandering off to similar ones.
"Plus, what we're going to buy her will last longer than anything else she has since we all know she doesn't lose her things like your Papa" I said.
"You have a point Papa. Mama is responsilbe"
"That she is. Let's just keep looking and maybe we'll find something we'll both love and hopefully your Mama will love too" I told my daughter as I entered a similar store.
"Welcome! How may I help you today Sir?" The store employee asked.
"I'm just taking a look if I find something worth buying" I replied
"Well, right this way sir" the woman replied as she ushered me to an area with big box glasses.
"What type are you looking for sir?" She asked.
"I was wondering if you have something simple but extravagant at the same time?
"Is it for a special someone?"
"It is indeed for someone special" I replied, smiling at the thought of Asuna as the woman started retrieving boxes and filed them on top of the thick glass.
"How about this one?" she said as she opened the box for me to look.
"May I take it out?"
"Sure"
I took the little object off the box and examined it properly. It was exactly what I was looking for, simple, extravagant, and beautiful and it'll remind her of someone special for sure. I took out my phone for Yui to look.
"Yui? I like this"
"Woah Papa it's so pretty!" the little girl exclaimed
"It reminds me of someone" I said as I looked at the camera, consciously side eyeing the woman who was a bit confused of my actions.
"Who Papa?
"You" I replied
"M-Me?" She said shocked.
"Yeah"
"Why me Papa?" She asked.
"Well, when I managed to turn you into a game object, your heart resembled something just like this" I replied as I put the object back on the box and gave the woman a nod. Letting her know that I was going to purchase it.
"Really?" She replied.
"Yes really and I know your mom will be ecstatic to see it" I replied and faced the woman.
"How much is it?" I asked. She showed me the price tag and my soul almost left my body.
"Papa? What's wrong?" Yui asked.
"It's the price but it's nothing. Your mom deserves this" I replied.
"You know what Papa?"
"What?"
"Besides mama getting ecstatic of how it looks, she'll be more shocked with the price so you've got yourself set" she giggled.
"HA HA very funny love but this will not only remind us of our love but of you too so it's all the more worth it" I replied
"Ooh Papa! I love you!" She replied
"I love you too Yui" I cooed.
The woman got back with the box and the object inside it, and I paid via installment. I walked out the door with my daughter.
Now the only one thing left to do is to lie to her long enough for me to be able to give it to her on the day we promised to see the stars together with our beloved daughter.
"Yui?
"Yes Papa?"
"Be sure not to make a slip of the tongue okay?"
"My lips are sealed Papa!"
I laughed at her cuteness and headed home, waiting for Asuna to update me about their trip to Kyoto.
