A/N: GUYS I JUST LOVE ASUNA (just finished rewatching the current episode) SHE'S JUST SO PERFECT AND CUTE AND OMG I LOVE HER. So I'm still being overwhelmed by math, (IT'S GOING TO GET LIFE AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD) so sorry if this sucks a lot… probably doesn't help that my brain is working at less than 5% and in overtime too because I got sick again like the idiot I am… Anyway! Hope you like the chapter!


Asuna looked at the time in the corner of her vision and saw that it was a little past 13:00 (1:00) p.m. in the real world.

'Hmm… Otou-san should be home soon… we better log out before he gets there so he doesn't think something… else...' she thought as she blushed slightly, nudging Kirito slightly to get his attention away from his failure of getting off the hook with Liz.

"Kirito-kun, my father is going to get home soon-"

"J-Just your dad, right? Not your mom? Just him?" he asked a small panic in his eyes as he asked. Asuna immediately rolled her eyes and nodded as she answered at the same time.

"Yes just him. My mom is going to get home later, after 19:00 (7:00) p.m." she said, making him sigh in relief in knowing that he had time to escape meeting her and being in the same room as her. Asuna rolled her eyes again at his temporary rescue and turned to Liz.

"Sorry Liz but we have to get back."

"That's okay; just make sure that Kirito doesn't die from your family."

"L-Liz!" Asuna said as she blushed again.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding… mostly."

"Mostly!?" Kirito said this time.

"You won't die! At least not from her parents…" Liz said as she quickly got up and ran to the back of her shop before Kirito would freak.

"Liz!? What is that supposed to mean!? LIZ!?" he said just as the door to the back room closed with Liz on the other side.

"I wouldn't think too much about it Kirito-kun." Asuna said, also wondering what she meant by that since she was looking in her direction when she had said that.

"Yeah… that's true… she is Liz…" he said as he stood up and stretched his arms, Asuna also standing up beside him.

"Home?" he asked.

"Yep!" Asuna said as she walked to the door, Yui flying and landing on her shoulder.

"Why is Papa so scared of Mama's family?"

"N-Not my entire family… just my mom since she can be a little… hard to get along with." Asuna said, trying to make it as basic as possible for Yui.

"Hard to get along with? That's putting it very lightly! " Kirito said, making Asuna immediately glare at him, making his arms go up in his defense.

"E-Even you have to admit that!"

"...Maybe a little… But she is getting somewhat better! I know she'll get more lenient with time!" Asuna said to him, the hope in her eyes shining as if she knew that this was going to happen.

'I'm hoping that happens as well.' he thought to himself as he nodded to her words. They quickly got out of Liz's shop and flew back to their home, opening the door and Yui changing back into her human form and sitting on the couch, Asuna and Kirito sitting next to her.

"Are you going to leave now?" Yui asked with her eyes curious. Asuna looked at the clock in the corner of her vision and smiled a bit.

"We have a few more minutes before we have to…" Asuna said as she hugged Yui tightly, bringing giggles out from the young girl.

"Do you want something to eat Yui-chan?"

"Hmm… Can you make those cookies with honey (1)!?" Yui said excitedly.

"Anything you want!" Asuna said as she got up and went to the kitchen in the next room. Yui turned to Kirito, who had a smile on his face from his happy daughter.

"You really like those cookies, huh?"

"I like anything Mama makes! But those are currently my favorite." Yui said as she smiled at the thought of the delicious treat. Kirito looked over his shoulder and saw that Asuna was still in the kitchen before opening his menu.

"Your Mama would probably kill me if she saw me give you some of these but since you like spice things too…" he said as he gave his daughter the Sylvain specialty he had gotten from Lyfa. Yui took one of them in her hand and took a bite, a smile forming on her face as the spicy taste spread in her mouth. Kirito grabbed one and bit into it, the same expression that Yui had forming on his face since he loved eating these despite Lyfa's and Asuna's complaints about their taste when they tried them.

"Ah, that reminds me Yui," Kirito said as he turned to her, "If Liz comes by and asked for help, run."

"Run?"

"Yes. She's going to ask for help on her homework and that would be bad since Mama wants her to do it for her herself and not rely on others." He said as he took a final bite from the spicy sweet.

"I see… But don't you do the same Papa?"

"Er… That's different. I only ask you for help when I really don't understand something…" he said as he ran his hand through his hair sheepishly at being caught. Yui took a final bite of the sweet just as Asuna walked back into the room with a tray full of cookies and cups of milk and tea.

"I made a lot so eat up!" Asuna said with a big smile as she put the tray down on the table before them before sitting down.

"What are you talking about?"

"...nothing…" Kirito and Yui said at the same time as they reached for a cookie at the same time, making Asuna be curious.

A/N: I tried… I think that counts. I took a two day math test so please try to understand how messed up my brain is from all those numbers and being sick at the same time. Also, I put the times for military time and regular time in case if you are confused as to what the time is so that you don't have to search it up later!
