Sofu(Grandfather) Chapter 4, a sword art online/ソードアート・オンライン fanfic

Sofu(Grandfather)

Summary: It is mentioned in Mother's Rosario book that Asuna went on a week vacation to her paternal Grandparent's house for the competitive annual gathering. We all know that someday in the future, Kazuto will need to meet Asuna's family. So what happens when he actually does? Multi-Chaptered.

Chapter 4:

I didn't want to bore you guys out with a huge long chapter, but my only other option was making extremely short chapter which you guys don't like either. So, this time I will just make one of my extremely long chapters.

"Now you better have a good excuse for the phone call, or even I can't supress my children, neices, nephews, and other descendants from kicking you out, Kazuto,"Grandfather added with a smirk.

Kazuto whitened visibly, and he felt his palm start sweating once again. "I-"Asuna started to say, but Kazuto cut in, "I can show you it. In fact, this has something to do with what I suspect is our next topic too. My newest invention is what I hope will help a lot of people, but for us it is a communication system."

And now Kazuto walked back into the room with a small device, around the a mouse pad on a laptop back in 2017. A whole array of knobs potruded from the top and buttons were on the side. "This is my first prototype,"Kazuto said as he fiddled with the box, and then settled it on Grandfather's desk before stepping back.

Softly with a sweet voice, Kazuto called out, "Yui." The box made a really small humming sound that you wouldn't have noticed unless you were really looking, or hearing for it. The next moment Yui, or rather a hologram of Yui appeared. She gave a cute yawn that sounded like the tinkling of bells and stretched her arms before her eyes fluttered open.

"Grandfather, Asuna, this is what I have been working on for a long time with limited resources and money I have access to. It is a direct link to the virtual world and web without using an actual internet connection. Meaning you could contact AI's, or friends and families within the VR world you are connected to. The connection process is what is a little less than user friendly, but I am still working on that part, and this is why it is still a prototype. But I can already establish a connection between the VR world and here. Another thing I still have to work on is being able to feel and letting the AI or the person in the VR be able to feel, but I am still working on that. In fact if you stuck your hand through Yui right now you would still be able to, but the air is noticeably thicker and hotter where her hologram is being projected,"Kazuto explained with as least details as he could.

Yui was wide awake now. She turned around and around taking in her surroundings, dress and hair billowing out around her. "Wow! This is the real world? I can even kind of feel the carpet, although it feels more like a tickle."

Then she stopped turning to stare straight at Grandfather. "Papa, Mama, who's that?"Yui asked, finger pointed right at Grandfather.

Asuna finally spoke. "Yui, meet my Grandfather, your Great-Grandfather. Grandfather, meet my daughter, your Great-Granddaughter, former mental health counseling program in SAO."

"Great-GrandPapa! Idaina Sofu!"Yui squealed, and leaped forward to hug him, before realizing she could really do that.

Grandfather just blinked at her several times. His face was so shocked, Asuna started getting worried. "Are you alright, Grandfather?"she asked. Grandfather blinked again. Then he turned to look at her, then Kazuto, then Yui, and then back at her again.

Then he let out a laugh. A big booming laugh, while Yui, Kazuto, and Asuna stood there awkwardly. When he finally stopped, he chuckled, "You know Asuna, this is quite an interesting development. I was expecting Great-Grandchildren, as my brother has Great-Grandchildren, but I certainly wasn't expecting one from you! So this is the sweetie you were talking about, aye?"

"I suppose you haven't told your families yet have you?"Grandfather asked, serious again. Asuna quickly shook her head. Kazuto mumbled, "Ergh... does my sister count?"

"Very well. I want to see what you can do as well, Kazuto. I will give you 114,000 yen(Around $1,000). You can make money any way you want. Impress me with the amount of money you gain. Asuna may help of course. If you impress me, I won't tell your parents, and I'll cover it up for you. You have until Friday. I will stall until then. If you disappoint me, rest assured you may not only be kicked out of the house and if you reveal about Yui to get you not kicked out of the house, you will get Asuna in trouble as well. For once I will play favorites. To help you, in addition to the 114,000 yen I give to everyone of my potential future in-laws, I will let you and Asuna share the same suite so you can work more easily together,"Grandfather explained with a smirk as he said the last sentence.

Kazuto's head had many thoughts. This man is crazy. He's playing a dangerous game. But he's also very smart. He's betting that if he puts us in the same room, we'll be too distracted and awkward to get much done. Doing this will let him gauge how far our relationship has really gone.

That was how Kazuto found himself sitting on the bed, fiddling with his device and phone and wires he had brought as Asuna took a shower in the bathroom of the suite. Every room in the house was really a suite. A king sized bed, TV, sofa, desk, and a bathroom as bigger than Kazuto's bedroom back in Kawagoe Prefecture. There was jacuzzi tub, two sinks, a walk in closet, and a closet-like area for the toilet, as well as a shower. So yeah. Much bigger than Kazuto's room.

Kazuto carefully set the device on the desk, turning several knobs, and whispering, "Agil, Klein, Thinker." In front of him appeared the 3 men he had called for. In their ALO characters of course. "You could try to sell this device,"Klein answered, nonchalant shrug.

"A week and 114,000 yen wouldn't be enough to sell an impressive profit,"Agil corrected with a frown. "You could invest in something, but the same thing goes. There isn't enough time nor money to gain anything near impressive amount."

"Actually there's another way, as long as you're strategic about it. It would work for you and Asuna,"Thinker commented.

"What way?"Asuna queried, walking over while running a comb through her hair. She was in a nightgown, and a bathrobe, but it wasn't one of those clear ones or inappropriately sized, or anything. An appropriate nightgown and bathrobe that covered all the right places.

Anyways Thinker explained, "Although it's not popular there is another duel option. Betting. You can bet a certain amount of money that you win. The other can bet any amount of money they want too. However much you put in, if you win, you get add 25% of the total money as well on top of what the players have bet. The player who looses gets all their money taken. But it's real money, which is why people who discover it don't use it, and don't tell of it. With your skills, if you made the challenge intriguing enough, Asuna and Kirito, you could win much more than most business deals could make. As long as you have this box to connect you to the VR world, and your amuspheres, you don't even need connection to get in. I mean that's the concept of the box right? It just needs a little tinkering and adjustments."

"That's actually not a bad idea!"Klein laughed. "It's better than your other options,"Agil added. "Well I guess it could work,"Kazuto answered.

"We could split the money between us and have a safe keeper to hold 50% of the money so we don't loose all of it,"Asuna suggested. After a long chat of strategy and exchanging news with each other, mostly Thinker and Agil informing them of new news, Kazuto finally hung up the call and went to take a shower.

By the time he walked out and had dried his hair, Asuna was already in bed, with her back facing his way. He gulped. Saying he was a bit nervous was an understatement.

The only time they had actually slept together in the real world was while Asuna was recovering, after one of the intense work out sessions to hel pher get back into shape for regular life. Kazuto had walked in to find her gasping for breath, soaked with sweat head to toe, too tired to move from the chair to the bed. He had scooped her into his arms, and sat down where she had been sitting the moment before, murmuring soothing nonsense until she fell asleep, and watching her sleep, he himself had fallen asleep as well.

Steeling his nerves for the worst to happen, perhaps he would drool, or they would end up in an awkward position, or something even worse, he slipped under the covers. And wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her close, spooning her. She didn't stir at all.

Kazuto stared at the back of her head, thoughts running through his head. When will she get tired of this? Will she give up if her Grandfather isn't impressed? What would happen to Yui? Aloud, he mumbled, "This is going to be a long battle, huh?"

"Yeah. Yes it will. We've been battling since the moment SAO became a prison,"Asuna's sweet, gentle voice answered, her words caressing his heart gently. Asuna shifted slowly and turned around in his arms so that she faced him, and looked up at him, sparkling hazel eyes looking straight into his onyx black ones.

Okay, so this takes up a whole 3 or 4 pages in the real doc, so I hope those who have been complaining about short chapters aren't as disappointed. I personally think this is rushed, and has bad grammar, but this took be almost 2 hours. I'm sorry. I'm a bad writer, but a fast typer. It doesn't make a good combination. I hope I'm adding enough twists to surprise you. But thanks for those with positive comments and constructive criticism, as well as the support I am gaining from writing this. However, I am trying not to get annoyed. Why? day in and day out every time I get an alert, part of the review says, "Short." Apparently I haven't gotten it to be long enough yet. Oh well.
