The family's home

"Ahhhhhahhaa! Wow!"

That being the sound of Yui gasping in joy over their house, which while not a log cabin, was a pretty good place. It was two-storied, a bit spacy for that size, and otherwise had been modified by it's previous owner with a lot of small-but-important upgrades. It even overlooked a small lake about two hundred feet away.

She smiled, still overjoyed to see Yui this excited. "Come on, let's go inside" she said gently, holding her hand. "It's where you live now too."

The little girl's eyes sparkled like you wouldn't believe; it was just so cute and gah! But still, Yui nodded, letting her mommy pull her along, even as Kazuto worked to get the keys. Yui briefly watched as he turned the lock, then she opened the door (both the heavy one and the 'screen' one), gesturing for Yui to go in first, which she gladly did.

"Ah – it's so big!" she breathed in wonder, looking around the place, her gaze lingering on this picture-frame of their wedding day photos.

"I-It's not that big" Kazuto said, modest, but still happy. "And maybe it isn't our little house in the forest, but we're happy here too."

"Do I have my own room!?"

"You sure do" she said cheerfully, Yui almost squeeing. "Though I admit, it's not nearly done yet – we didn't expect my dad to finish bringing you into the real world today."

"That's okay, mommy" she said, smiling with a little blush. "That's even better; if it's my own room, I should do the way I want it, right? Isn't that how it works?"

She nodded, only for Yui to stumble with an 'Ooh!' - just before she fell, she quickly caught her. "Yui!" she breathed, worried.

"That's so strange" she said, a little weaker, but more confused than anything. "Suddenly I feel weaker..."

Kazuto got on one knee beside her. "Maybe it's because she hasn't eaten" he said carefully. "I mean think about it; Yui's body was kept alive through who-knows-what processes for years... and now that she's been disconnected, after the initial burst of happiness and energy, her body needs fuel."

"Don't we have some of that mac & cheese left in the fridge?" she asked intently, to which he nodded, getting up.

"Just sit Yui down; I'll heat it up" he called, hurrying into the kitchen.

She nodded, then holding Yui close to her, picked her up carefully. "What's that, mommy?" she asked, just a little tired.

"A sort of noodles" she said gently, bringing her to the table, and helping her sit down. "Initially stiff, they're cooked in water to soften them up, then thoroughly mixed with cheese, milk, and butter."

Yui smiled, curious and excited, and was briefly startled by the sound of the microwave (Kazuto heating it up) – she quickly assured her that it was a normal thing, though that didn't stop the glances. "I'm not sure I know what all that tastes like" she breathed, before softening even more. "But, if you made it mommy, I'll try it."

Once again, the happiness became overwhelming, and her vision tried to blur with tears again. She settled for hugging Yui tightly, who happily returned it.

When they finally let go, a ding rang not a second later, surprising Yui briefly, but even more when the wafting smell reached her. "Ahhaha! Wow, that smells good!" she said brightly, looking at the bowl as Kazuto put it down, though briefly distracted by the spoon he offered.

"Eat up" he said enthusiastically.

Yui took it with a giggle, poking into the mac & cheese, and looking over her spoonful close-up – then she slowly nibbled on one noodle, then the entire thing.

Second later: "Oh-This is so great!"

To say Yui dug into her food would be an understatement; she had bits of sauce stuck to her face after only seconds. And she didn't mind, basically squeeing close-mouthed over how good it tasted, and leaving her parents with their own sparkling looks.

/

"Ah" Yui breathed, hands pressed against the window, looking out over the lake - the latest object of her curiosity after the initial house tour (familiarity would come later). "It's so pretty, just like the ocean in Alfhiem."

"It certainly is" she noted, she and Kazuto standing on either side of Yui, basking in her excitement as they had been doing.

Then Yui looked up at her. "Can we go swimming?" she asked, smiling. "Like we did all the time?"

"I'm not sure that's a good idea-"

"Huh?" Yui breathed, surprised when Kazuto bent down beside her.

He smiled a bit. "Don't get me wrong; we'd love to do that again" he said gently. "But unlike in ALO, at least at the moment, you don't have anything else to wear but what you have on right now."

"Plus" she added softly. "Swimming gradually wears out fabric like this, much faster than the aging from time; something that wasn't quite programmed in SAO or ALO."

A little sad, but mostly surprised, Yui glanced at the dress she was wearing, her fingers curling over the fabric. Then she smiled a little: "I wouldn't want to ruin the dress that I was born in." she noted softly, and a little shyly, before going 'Oh!' at Kazuto's hand on her head.

He merely smiled more. "That's my girl" he said gently (Yui blushed slightly for a moment), "But don't worry; we'll still have fun today."

"Like what?"

Then Kazuto glanced up at her. "Asuna, remember that book we got recently?" he said, in a knowing tone.

Yui was curiously confused, but she got it within seconds; "Be right back" she called, already running, before coming back a minute later. In her hands she held a fairly-sized book, titled 'Major Animals Across the World'.

"What's that?" Yui breathed, stepping closer and looking at the cover.

"Basically, a picture book to show you all about many of the animals in our world" Kazuto said, before sitting down on the couch, offering Yui's spot to her. "Maybe it's not like seeing them first-hand, but it'll do for now. And we're gonna teach you about them."

Yui's eyes/expression lit up, and she was quick to get on the couch, sitting by her father (and happier when her mother joined in on the other side). "This is so exciting!" she breathed, nearly beside herself. "I've heard about a lot of animals, and seen a few pictures, but there was never a lot about them on the servers!"

"And that's about to change" she said with approval, opening the book herself (Kazuto held it underneath his hand). "It's not quite in any kind of order, but I doubt that'll matter. Now let's see- ah, here's a good way to start:"

"Ahaha! They're whales!" she breathed with excitement, fingers moving over the pictures, no doubt remembering the one she'd ridden after that underwater quest. "Huh? Wait, why do they all look so different?"

"Well, there are many kinds of whales" Kazuto said mildly, but gentle. "We only saw the one after that quest."

A little surprise, then she leaned forward, even more curious. "Do all animals have different forms?"

He smiled. "Well, not all of them, but quite a few" he said in a fairly playful tone, to which Yui giggled at.

"But they're still so big!" she breathed, her fingers tracing over a scaled picture of how big a human was to a whale - basically that their head was smaller than the whale's eyes. Imagine how big it had seemed in her pixie form. "But - what do they eat?"

"Basically, lots and lots of these tiny fish" she said softly. "Whales have no teeth, but that isn't usually a problem, as they aren't aggressive-"

"At all" Kazuto finished, to her little jolt, but she wasn't really annoyed; Yui just giggled.

"Now then, onto sharks-"

/

Later that night

"*really big yawn* ...but I don't wanna go to sleep yet... mmm..."

He smiled softly, looking at the nodding-off Yui on his back, who was trying not to fall asleep yet. She'd basically had the best day yet, even if it was by learning so much, and worn out her body's energy. "Still, she's adorable" he thought, keeping her up gently. Beside him, Asuna basically couldn't stop sparkling, at least with her eyes.

Yui continued to blink slowly, before she made a different sound. "Daddy?"

"Yes, Yui?"

"I think something's wrong..."

He blinked, glanced at Asuna before back at Yui, feeling her legs started to move uncertainly on her back. "What do you mean?"

"I feel like I'm... full, or something" she breathed, unsure. "And the longer it's there, the more pressure slowly builds up."

He slowly got it, looking over at Asuna. "The water she drank" he said simply.

She slowly nodded, then gently caressed her daughter's cheek. "Yui?" she whispered softly, to her daughter's sleepy 'Hmm?", "I can help you take care of that, alright?"

"Okay."

Gently helping her down to the ground, Yui's legs instinctively moved closer together above the knees, which she sorta-noticed. However, before she could say anything, Asuna gently led them to the bathroom.

He watched them walk away for a little, then moved to the bedroom, where he made sure everything was ready. And aside from a few wrinkles, which weren't that big of a deal, everything was set – so he slowly sat on the edge.

"She's here" he said to the empty room. "She's really here. Whatever's out there; thank you."

Nothing answered, but he slowly lay down on the bed, hands behind his back, just content. About a minute later, after he'd settled in on one side, he heard them down the hall:

"That seems really gross, mommy..."

"It is."

"How do you deal with it?"

"Basically, we get used to it, because we have to – but don't worry, no one really likes it either."

Asuna opened the door, leading her inside – and part of Yui's sleepiness seemed to have been pushed back, for now at least. "Huh- aren't you taking me to my room?"

"We will, tomorrow" he said gently, to her surprise. "But for tonight, we'd like it if you slept with us. Is that cool?"

Yui breathed out, cheeks turning a little red, and her fingers began tapping together. "I-I don't want to cause you two any trouble" she stammered a bit, but happily.

"Nonsense, Yui" Asuna breathed beside her.

"Yeah" he agreed, before gesturing right beside him. "We want you up here tonight, come on."

"Ahaha" she breathed, excited, before she pretty much clamored up the bed – it took a little adjusting, but soon she was snuggled in the middle, with himself on the right side of the bed. And then a little more adjusting, and Asuna snuggled in beside Yui, putting her in-between them, but no less loved by both of them.

"Mommy" she breathed softly, trying to curl closer to both of them. "Daddy."

"Yui" Asuna whispered, happy, her arm moving closer up his shoulder, giving him a brief sparkling look. He didn't say her name, but he smiled, kissing his daughter's cheek.

Next morning, November 3, 2030

Nmm.. ufm

Still half-asleep like that, all he could think was 'Mmm, cozy'.

But of course, even with his eyes closed and half-asleep, he slowly got a feel for the situation. He was on his side, a hand somewhere near his hip (well, fingers actually), and another pair which were wrapped around his neck. And there was a steady stream of breathing, both against his neck, and less so against his forehead. Some part of him said that wasn't normal, but before it got out of control, he relaxed as he remembered. Then he just felt content, happy that Yui was here with them now.

As soon as his moment ended, Yui stirred against his neck – she was beginning to wake up, he realized. He wondered if he should open his eyes, but thought that could wait; let Yui realize what's it like to really wake up, and that her dream was now a reality. But he did smile, making it look like he was still asleep. Seconds passed by, Yui slowly detaching herself and part of the blankets from him, making a sleepy sound here and there (and a very cute yawn+stretch motion).

When she gasped, it was hard not to react.

He couldn't see it, but Yui's gasp at been the realization that all this had happened; that she was in the real world, with both her parents. Another little (happy) gasp, then he distinctively felt a small drop touch the sheets, before there was a hurried moment to wipe them away. He was still happy; they'd all worked hard and hoped for this day, so she deserved that moment of happiness.

Tears or not, Yui just sat between them both for awhile, or so he assumed... then she slowly leaned forward. He heard the sound of a slight kiss, and seconds later, it was his turn, hesitant and soft against his cheek.

Seriously, her adorableness was off the scale.

After that, he allowed himself to start stirring, trying to make it look like he was still freshly waking up. This startled Yui, but before she could hurry back under the covers, he had opened his eyes – vision was blurred for a moment, then it focused. He looked at Yui for a little, before he smiled. "Hey" he breathed softly.

"I-I'm sorry" she whispered, sounding worried. "I didn't mean to wake you up daddy..."

"I was already half-awake anyway" he said easily, in a whisper, surprising Yui (who blushed faintly when he took her hand). "And I wouldn't have minded anyway" he assured softly.

She smiled, taking his hand in both of hers, before she promptly threw herself at him in a hug. While surprised, he felt how tightly she held him, shaking (with happiness), so he held her close with a smile.

Across from him, Yui's action had pushed Asuna's leg, which jolted her enough that she'd started to wake up. Her first instinct was to look at him, eyes half-lidded, not sure of what she was seeing... but her gaze softened when she saw the two of them together, especially so close to her. She merely rested her head there for awhile, keeping the smile.

/

Little later

*sigh* Why him?

Well, basically, while Asuna had handled Yui having to go earlier (other end this time), she'd made sure he wasn't gonna flack on doing some of this himself... before he'd even objected at that. Still, he thought this might be the beginning of being-a-mother jitters (the full reality of being one), or those mood swings he'd heard of... no wait, that was when she was pregnant, which had yet to happen as-far-as-he-knew.

"Something wrong, daddy?"

Lip curving a bit, standing outside the bathroom, he merely glanced inside. "Just thinking" he merely said, before: "And anyway, I'll be teaching you how to draw a bath."

"Hmm?" she breathed, blinking. "What for?"

"Well, every day in the real world, our bodies release these liquids on our skin as we go about our days" he said, Yui looking at her hands as he did so. "We can't really see it or feel it much, but it does happen – and if they build up, they begin to smell. So anyone who has a nose might get the wrong impression about you if something isn't done."

"I don't want that" she said, worried. "Though, I don't know how bad the smells are."

He smiled. "With luck, you'll never have to" he said, before stepping inside (she followed instinctively). "We never want to smell bad smells for a reason" he continued, before: "Now then-"

He was gentle, on his knees with Yui close by, pointing out the hot and cold water knobs, as well as how to keep the water from going down the drain - he didn't have to teach her about the towels, due to their virtual days at the beach. She listened with curious fascination, but while he was testing the water temperature, the inevitable thought occurred to her, with a lot of red. "But that means I'll have to be... naked" she said, very shy.

He slowly sighed. "Yes" he said faintly.

Seeing his daughter blanch, he rubbed his head with his other hand. "But don't worry! I'm not gonna watch you take off anything or see you like that!" he said quickly. "I'm just here to show you how things work! Like this!"

Yui's cheeks were still red, but she slowly looked at what he now held: a bar of soap.

"After you've gotten yourself watered up" he said in a hurry, hoping not to make this any more awkward than it already was. "You dip this soap in the water, then rub it over your body – basically everywhere below your neck, and your hands" he continued, miming the process.

That helped Yui a bit, taking it from him when he'd finished, and being interested in the smell (possibly jasmine; he wasn't sure).

He smiled a little, before taking the bottle nearby. "And this is shampoo; you use it for your hair, but there's a little trick to using it" he continued. "Get some onto your hand, rub it against your hands-"

/

"Mmm-hmm-hm-mm-hm."

So she hummed under her breath, just more nonsense-like than it sounded – before her, she worked with a large bit of batter, trying to make sure they were just right. In the background, she'd heard the bathtub water running for awhile now, to which she smiled at.

"You'll do fine, Kazuto" she thought mischievously.

However, soon the water-running sound turned off, which she noticed – but she still focused on working the batter.

The door opening was a surprise though.

"Hmm?" she breathed, further confused when she didn't hear it close again, just creak near shut. "Everything okay up there?" she asked from her spot.

A mild pause, then Kazuto's head leaned over the corner of the stairs, keeping himself close to Yui and her at the same time. "Perfectly" he said, mild. "I just explained everything, and am letting Yui try it all on her own – if she needs my help, I'm right here."

She slowly smirked a little, discreetly keeping an eye on what she was doing. "You're afraid, aren't you?" she teased.

He smirked back, with that look of his. "Nah, I just want to avoid getting a kick out of this situation" he said, tilting his head. "She's our little girl after all, and she's old enough to be modest; I respect that."

"That first part was just tasteless, and that second part is barely acceptable" she noted dourly, before softening. "But, if we have kids somewhere in the future, you're not gonna be able to avoid seeing them naked forever, you know" she continued, slowly touching a hand to her stomach.

He glanced down as well, the smirk softening, before looking back at her. "I know that" he said softly. "Really, I do; I'd just prefer to avoid making Yui nervous. She hasn't had these first experiences when she was younger after all."

"Well, lucky for you" she said mildly, flipping a pancake again. "With breakfast soon, and shopping later today, you won't have to deal with it for awhile."

"Heh heh" he breathed, with a little smile, before casting a not-so-subtle look at the pancake batter - then he left with a smirk.

Yeah, let him; luckily for him she liked cooking for this growing family.

/

Moving slightly on the spot, he tried to find other ways of passing time, least on the small scale. The water had long since stopped running, Yui having turned it off (after what sounded like a slippery start), and he'd only heard the small splashes as she'd washed herself for the first time. Though that had since stopped about two minutes ago, and he could hear the water draining even now. But she was still drying, so he was still waiting - but he did smile a little. Then he remembered the conversation they'd had through the door, while Yui bathed (and after he told her to talk and clean herself at the same time).

Basically, he'd asked her how she felt about sleep.

"I don't know" she'd said to him. "As an AI, I was always going through data, even while in sleep mode, or spreading my processes through the servers... but now, I can't do either of those. It's like I'm suddenly losing time that could be better spent."

"It would seem like that" he admitted, but smiled to himself. "However, sleep still has a purpose, of course."

"What's that, daddy?"

"Well uh, as we go about our days, dealing with all sorts of situations, we tend to build up this sort of... mental tension, I guess you could call it. You could compare it to a steadily-increasing set of weights we have to struggle against. Most of the time we barely even notice it."

"...but only because you sleep every day?"

"Yeah, that's it" he said easily. "Sleep is a way of repairing 'damage' like that, and causing us to start the next day fresh. Without it, well... after awhile things can get ugly."

He'd definitely heard a sound at that, then: "Still, daddy, it seems like lost time to me."

"Well, in that case, you're not alone" he'd assured her. "And I don't just mean mommy and me."

"Definitely a lot of things she'll be getting used to" he admitted to himself in his thoughts, but smiling. "But we're on vacation now, and will help her get the important stuff down first. The rest will come with time and experience."

Creak

He glanced beside him, watching the door open just enough, and Yui stuck her head through the door. "Daddy, do I have to dry my hair all the way?" she wondered. "I'm doing it as you showed me, but it's taking a lot of effort."

He smiled a bit more. "That's actually kinda natural" he said gently, to her surprise. "Water clings to hair, really really well, and using the towel can only get so much out. So don't worry too much about it; your hair will air-dry itself over the next two hours, maybe three."

She slowly nodded, smiling before she closed the door again - probably to get dressed. So he waited again for a small stretch, then the door opened again, Yui clothed in her white dress.

"Okay then" she said softly. "I'm done."

"With the bath" he acknowledged, before smiling and gesturing into the bathroom. "May we?"

Yui was surprised, but still willing. "What else is there to do?"

"A number of smaller things" he said, looking around before he found it; Asuna's comb. She probably wouldn't mind it being used for a day, so he held it in front of a curious Yui. "For instance, this comb, which is used to help smooth out your hair."

"Oh" she breathed, taking it, curiously happy. "To make ourselves look pretty?"

"More-or-less."

"Can I try?"

"Be my guest, Yui" he said gently, before he mimed holding one himself. "And you'll get better results by holding one end, rather than from the middle."

Even as he said it though, he was already thinking ahead to the teeth-brushing, as well as what to say about the gums, and general teeth cleaning questions she could ask.

On the road; two hours later

"Ah, a showoff as usual."

Why? Well, here she was driving this time, Yui in the front seat – and her father on the motorcycle directly beside their car. Luckily for them all, they were fast approaching the mall.

Still, Yui got a kick out of watching him, and waving back. "My daddy's the best" she said, practically beaming, before making a sound when Kazuto sped up ahead of them, moving to get the best position to enter the parking lot first.

"He's certainly daring" she agreed, turning the wheel a little to get into the same lane. "Too bad for him that this drive is a short one."

"What are we shopping for, mommy?"

She smiled, glancing at Yui for a moment. "In a sense, you, Yui" she said softly, to the girl's surprise ("Me?"). "New clothes for you, highlights for your room, and other things we need."

"T-That's not necessary" she argued, but with cute worry. "I mean, I'm happy just being with you and daddy."

"I know" she said softly, moving into the turn, and now into the parking space. "But we insist" she added, turning off the car, and getting out. Outside though, having parked right beside where she had, Kazuto took off his helmet with a small smile.

"You know this burns up gas money" she said to him, fairly mild, even as Yui gently wrapped herself around her arm.

"I just thought Yui deserved a chance at the front seat, seeing the driver in action from there" he said, equally mild, making sure his motorcyle was all set. "Besides, it's not gonna be a regular thing, us taking separate vehicles" he continued in his fairly-serious tone, before standing on Yui's right, taking her hand. "Now, shall we?"

They all smiled in response. "Let's" she answered.

/

As you might guess, Yui's endless curiosity abounded in that store, even if most of it was normal to them – the little girl's excitement/happiness simply never made it old. But of course, first things first:

"Kazuto, it's your turn for food duty" she said mischievously, handing him the list. He just groaned, but took it with a resigned grumbling 'Fine, fine' before walking off. Yui made a little sound, looking up at her, but she smiled, patting her daughter's head with her other hand. "Don't worry, Yui; he'll be back soon" she said gently, before pulling her along. "It's just easier this way."

"Easier?" she questioned.

"Yeah, your father gets the food in a big cart, while we get clothes that we can carry ourselves – when we meet back up, they all go in the cart" she explained, before stopping in front of the clothes section. Yui herself was surprised that they stopped, but even more so when she saw the rows and rows of clothing choices ('Ah'), hands in front of her mouth.

"There's so many..."

"There's no rush" she said soothingly. "We'll narrow them down based on what can fit you, then by what you like – with as many or as little as you prefer."

That helped, but clearly this would take awhile.

Even so, time flew as they looked, first establishing Yui's general size and such, then finding clothes that were actually close to that size. And as they searched, Yui's worry went away, and she began to marvel over the designs, colors, and sheer diversity of them all. So many back-and-forth trips to the nearby changing room later, she'd already found a shirt with bunnies on it (not the fluffy little cartoon versions; realistic ones), a dull-black skirt that matched her hair, and a few other things. Even had this cute little flower clip for her hair, which reminded her of her pixie self from ALO (so cute).

And while Yui was doing that, she was nearby, finding pairs of underwear, a few shoes-and-socks, a swimsuit and such that would fit her (and she'd like). Though it had also been a little embarrassing when, by instinct, she'd reached for the training bras.

"Yui may be ten, but she'll stay ten for awhile - no need for those just yet" she'd told herself.

At one point during the process, holding a bunch of stuff in her hands, Yui made a sound. "You sure I have to wear these though, mommy?" she asked, moving her feet in response.

"I'm afraid it's the rule" she said, but understanding; she knew Yui loved being barefoot. "Any official places like this demand we be fully clothed, including shoes, or they don't allow us in. But that rule doesn't apply in our house."

That helped a little, and Yui nodded, quickly going inside the changing room again. She smiled a bit, leaning against the rack slightly-

"Well, someone's taking their time."

Jolted, she looked around, seeing her (smirking) husband standing feet away, dragging a cart full of food with one hand behind him.

"Well, what did you expect?"

"Exactly this" he admitted, slowly giving her the list, which had crossed everything out. "But it's funner to snark at it anyway" he continued, un-surprised when she moved to verify that the cart had everything for herself-

A slight Grr, then: "You forgot the spices!"

Still smirking, he pulled a few small bottles out of his pockets, holding them up before her.

A little irritated, she took them from him and forcefully put them back on the cart. "If you'd tried that at the counter, you could have gotten us in trouble!"

"But I wouldn't have pulled anything" he merely said, stepping closer. "Besides, haven't you seen how overfilled that cart is? I thought it'd save space that way."

"That's not the point, Kazuto" she breathed, though still blushing a little when he got really close.

The smirk softened. "No, but this is" he whispered, kissing her right on the edge of her lip, intentionally teasing her.

Blushing, happier, she merely smiled a little. "You know we're in public" she told him softly, chiding.

He opened his mouth-

"Tell me about it!"

Jolted, both of them, they turned toward the source – Klein, who merely grinned knowingly.

"Klein! What are you doing here?" her husband wondered, while she was just embarrassed that he'd seen that little exchange.

"Well first, erasing that affection from my memory" he said, shrugging. "And also, wondering why you're shopping in this section of the store. I thought if you were to do that, you'd start at the bottom and work your way up."

She jolted again, sharing a glance with Kazuto; they hadn't yet told him or their other friends about Yui being in the real world!

"Well, uh-" they both said at the same time, just as the door behind them opened.

"What do you think, mommy?" Yui said, twirling a little on her new outfit (a light green dress, adorned with the picture of a pod of whales), smiling brightly. "Huh, daddy?" she breathed, even happier, before the real surprise. "Klein!"

"Hey there, Yui" he greeted easily (her parents stared at him). "Just having a chat with your par-Wait, Yui!?"

Yui ignored the sudden recognition reaction, rushing forward and giving him a hug, which he returned by instinct alone. "It's so great to see you again, and in person!" she said brightly, looking up at him and still hugging.

Blinking, mouth open, "Ah, yeah, likewise kiddo" he said, before jolting. "Wait a minute, is this real? Ow, okay that hurt more than in ALO" he continued, having pinched his arm before he looked at them. "But, this is the real world guys!"

A sweat-drop ran down both their heads. "T-That's a long story, Klein" she admitted.

He then brightened, having gotten an idea. "I don't need to hear it right now though" he said, with a little smirk as he gently pushed a surprised Yui to stand by them, while he put his arms around them, camera phone out. "But the guys and gals all need to see this ASAP, so smile!"

No one really did; everyone but Klein was too busy looking at him. Yui's face was all curiosity about his phone, Kazuto's was just a faint -_- look, and hers might have been slightly worried - this was happening kinda fast, whatever he was doing.

Click and a flash later, which surprised Yui (and had her vision blinking), he was soon grinning. "Well, see you for the party!" he said, before promptly jetting.

"Wait, Klein!" Kazuto yelled after him, but only ended up addressing his dust, causing him to grunt.

"A party?" Yui wondered, tilting her head. "I wonder what for? And what was that he held?" she continued, before making a sound, cutely confused. "And what does 'ASAP' mean?"

She made a little sound, but her husband was faster in recovering, taking Yui's hand. "I think I can explain those on the way to the room decorations area" he said, getting better as he went, before smiling. "That is, if we're both done here."

She gave him a little look at that, while Yui cast a quick glance at the cart (which was stuffed to the brim), looking it over and the various things with curiosity.

Her adorableness is off the scale; that is all XD
