Chapter One
Two years later.
"Asuna, have you seen my laptop anywhere," yells Kazuto across the house.
"No, I thought you had it in your office," yells Asuna back.
Suddenly, an overexcited two-year-old comes sprinting into the room, laptop in her little arms.
"Daddy I have it right here," said the bright-eyed little Yui.
"Thank you, but why did you have it," said Kazuto concerned, lifting the lid to check it.
"Don't worry daddy, I didn't mess with anything, I was just pretending to be you."
Kazuto smiles warmly to this remark, and sets down his laptop to pick up Yui, who lifts her arms up to him. She hugs her father tightly and Kazuto sets her back down onto the ground.
"I've got to go to work for a little while, but I'll be back soon okay."
"Okay daddy," says Yui back politely.
Kazuto picks up his laptop and walks into the kitchen, giving Asuna a kiss on the cheek, and heading out of the house. Kazuto steps out to the walkway, which weaves through trees before getting to the rest of the neighborhood. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, making a blizzard of pink petals dance across the walkway. Kazuto smells the air, and continues to walk to work. People wave as he walks by. After about a kilometer, Kazuto approaches a large glass tower, with SAO corp. printed in big letters. He walks in, grabbing tea from the front office attendant, who smiles and says good morning, and walks into the glass elevator. As it rises, live images of what is going on in SAO are showing around the elevator, and Kazuto looks on curiously to see what the players are doing. After about a minute, the elevator comes to a stop, and Kazuto walks out into a long hallway lined with screens and doors. At the end of the hall was the board committee room. As he walks in, the other members of the board rise and make a short bow, before sitting back down. Kazuto makes his way to the back of the room, in the CEO chair.
"Kazuto, sir, I think we should release a trailer on the new dlc, to give the playerbase a sort of idea of what is to come," says the first member standing to present himself.
"I think it might be a good idea to have a teaser be released by around halfway through the month, if you could contact our marketing committee and come up with a commercial by then," says Kazuto distracted, looking down at a picture of Asuna and Yui.
After a few more painstaking hours of listening to board member after board member present ideas and marketing techniques, Kazuto leaves the room, leaving his tea on a maid cart, and runs quickly home to see Asuna and Yui again. He bursts into the door, and grabs Asuna in a big hug, and then reaches down to and excited Yui, and lifts her up and spins her around before pulling her in to his arms.
"Daddy's home, daddy's home," yells the excited bundle of joy, Yui.
"Yes I am, I came home just to see my favorite two people in the whole world," says Kazuto rubbing his cheek against Yui's.
Kazuto then turns and gives Asuna a kiss.
"I decided to make us a picnic today, I thought we could eat under the cherry blossoms," says Asuna motioning over towards a picnic basket.
"That sounds amazing, dear, I would be glad to."
Kazuto sets Yui back onto the ground, and grabs the picnic basket. He uses his other hand to hold onto Asuna's, whose other hand was holding Yui's. They then walk out to a spot by the lake under a cherry blossom tree, and set out a large blanket, putting the basket in the middle of it. Kazuto pulls out silverware which was neatly folded into napkins, and hands a pair to Asuna. Kazuto then pulls out the first food that was in the basket, which were a few sandwiches. He hands one to Asuna, who set's her silverware down and hands the sandwich, which had been cut into triangles, to Yui, then took the other sandwich Kazuto handed her. He moves the basket, and they all three lay down to form a triangle on the blanket, staring up at the cherry blossoms glide across the sky, while they ate their sandwiches. When they got done with their sandwiches, Asuna pulled out a small chocolate cake she had made, and cut a slice for each of them, putting them on napkins. As they are eating their cake, a swan walks up to Yui.
"Hello swan, would you like a piece of chocolate cake too," says Yui politely, handing out a piece of cake to it.
The swan gobbles down the cake, then leans over her and begins eating the rest of her slice of cake off of the napkin. Yui claps and giggles excitedly, looking over to Asuna and Kazuto.
"The swan was hungry mommy," said Yui happily.
Asuna laughs just as a horde of swans bombards their picnic, attacking their food and pulling the rest of the cake out of the basket. Kazuto quickly picks up Yui, who is laughing almost to the point of tears by now, and grabs Asuna and pulls them away from the blanket. For a moment they stare in shock, except for Yui, from the sudden attack, but then after all the food was gone, they burst into laughter.
"I guess even the swans couldn't contain themselves when it comes to your cooking Asuna," says Kazuto pulling her under his arm.
Hey guys thank you for reading I hope you enjoyed this next chapter of my story. Don't forget to review and give me advice on how I'm doing, because I can't level up if I don't have the quests to accomplish.
