[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

In August, the sunshine in California is still so "bright" that it is unacceptable, especially this year, California, known as the Golden Coast, has experienced many deaths after heatstroke, which shows the height of the heat.

A small villa hidden in the woods in the suburbs.

"bump--"

The door of the living room opened with a bang, and a tall figure rushed in instantly, attracting the attention of the people in the living room.

"Ah—it's terribly hot, it's unbearable weather,"

The tall black-haired young man tore off the neatly wrapped tie around his neck, grabbed the glass on the table, and poured water into his mouth non-stop.

"Mr. Sanye, no one is forcing you to wear a suit outside at 42 degrees." Beside the sofa, a tall and strong man frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Hey, Cassian, I want you to take care of what I want to wear. If you don't want to hang around here alone with Zaoqing, I won't let it go if something happens..."

Before he finished speaking, a head suddenly appeared on the sofa with his back to the young man.

"Ah, Chun, are you looking for me?"

There was silence in the living room, and with the soft ringing of the pendulum on the wall, the young man's face flushed instantly.

"Morning... early morning...you, you didn't go to the clubhouse..."

"No, it's still too hot after all, and I don't even have the strength to go out, so I'd better stay at home and rest."

The young man who was still arrogantly arguing with the middle-aged man looked at the girl who was looking at him, and suddenly showed embarrassment on his face. He threw the water glass in his hand aside, and panickedly started to buckle the one he had opened. Buttoning the shirt, trying to tie the tie, but ended up in an unknown knot...

"Hehe~" The girl on the side couldn't help laughing anymore, and the silver bell-like laughter immediately stunned the young man in front of her.

"It's just a little hot, so I can handle it... I will pay attention next time..."

"Yeah, I understand, I understand, I just happened to be careless haha~" Seeing the young man in front of him getting more and more embarrassed, Zao Qing was embarrassed to watch the other party's excitement, so she stood up, walked in front of the other party, and said kindly Fasten the wrong button, "However, to be honest, the temperature outside is really high now, even if you like suits, there is no need to wear them and run around all day..."

"No... it's actually just..."

"Ah, it can't be Dad's so-called rules again..."

"Ah... ah?! No, it's not... Zaoqing..."

"Forget it, don't explain, you always speak well for him, don't worry, I will let him change those weird company rules!"

"No...it's not weird...ah, no, it wasn't decided by the president at all..."

"Then, I'll go upstairs and call him, and you should hurry up and undress, Chun~"

So, a certain girl went upstairs in a hurry, leaving the two men in the living room staring at each other.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Hey...what's the matter with the curvature of the corner of your mouth...you can laugh if you want to, don't you be afraid of getting hurt..."

"Is there?"

A big well appeared on the young man's forehead.

"No!!"

"Ah...probably just seeing Sanye-kun...you can't help but look like you're being treated like a fool."

"You, who are you talking about!"

"Isn't Sanye-kun wearing a suit every day in the hot weather because Mr. Zaoqing praised suits for making men look mature last time?"

"Cassian, you guy...Of course not! It's just a work need, a work need!"

"Is that so? Then, I'll bring Mr. Zaoqing a cold drink."

The middle-aged man cast an obviously questioning look, lit a certain bag instantly, and then turned around and stepped up the stairs.

————&—————

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows half covered with gauze curtains, Zao Qing was leaning on a pillow on the carpet in a daze.

"What, did you piss Chun off again, Cassian?"

"That kid's temperament still needs to be tempered." Cassian picked up a goblet filled with iced red bean paste, and gently placed it on the coffee table beside Zaoqing.

"Hey, it's exactly the same as Dad... However, Chun has improved a lot. He only became like this in front of people close to him. He is still very reliable in major matters. You and Dad shouldn't be too harsh on him."

"Requirements are constantly rising as a person grows up. Mr. Zaoqing always indulges the people around him too much."

"Okay, okay, I get it... Cassian's appearance is clearly saying that I'm too neglectful of self-discipline~" Zaoqing spread her hands helplessly, took the red bean paste, and put it into her mouth spoonful by spoonful.

The fair complexion becomes softer and softer against the blond hair that spreads the sun on the floor. The slender willow eyebrows that look like water halo and ink color outline the crystal clear blue eyes curvedly. The bridge of the nose is slightly straight, making the whole somewhat illusory face even more reality.

At the age of 25, Zaoqing bloomed with a brilliance that belonged to Zao Qing, which showed the fact that Zao Qing was already a big girl.

Looking at the brilliant blue sea in the distance, and the sandy beach like flowing platinum, Zaoqing sighed slightly.

"It's just that on days like this, people can't help being lazy..."

And such a lazy day, in a flash, is ten years.

"Master Zaoqing..."

"It's okay, Cassian go and get busy with your business, I'll take a short rest, it's easy to get sleepy when it's hot~" Zao Qing turned around and looked at Cassian who was standing loyally beside her, with a smile on his face. A smile.

Ten years ago, the beloved father agreed to his request to leave, and sent a familiar stranger——Casian to himself.

But who could have imagined that Cassian, who was united with the Holy Dragon that he accidentally encountered in the game, turned out to be his father's subordinate in reality.Proficient in kendo, although a bit dull and rigid, full of the old principles of swordsman loyalty to the emperor, but because of this, his father valued and cultivated him, and even later directly gave him a "bodyguard" who was very repulsive to the outside world at the time. During these ten years, he took care of his own life like an older brother.

And Jun Sanye, who has also been with him for ten years, is his childhood sweetheart... Thinking of his eyes that always light up instantly when he sees him, and his unconcealable thoughts, Zao Qing can't help but feel a little helpless...

ten years……

"Ah, please rest well."

There was a slight sound as the door closed, and the room became more and more empty due to the absence of one person.

"It's really hard for them..."

"Yo, yo, Miss Hinohara, who has always been pampered and pampered, will also be considerate of those two unlucky guys~" The screen on the side wall suddenly opened, and a sexy assassin-like woman with black eyes and black hair was sitting on a tree branch Her legs were straight, her delicate face was full of flamboyant smiles.

Zaoqing raised her eyelids, but did not respond.

"Tch, you have such a weird temper, I really can't get rid of it!" The woman didn't care about Zao Qing's indifference, she just rolled her eyes unsightly.

"Qingqing... why did you come to provoke Qingqian again..." The black-haired young man in knight attire had a rare look of distress on his usually indifferent face. A few pieces of fruit passed over.

"Because it's boring, and Ayan won't let me go, so I can only come to Xiaozao to clear up~" Instead of picking up the fruit in the opponent's hand, the delicate and charming woman rushed over, and her whole body was hung up on the man. body.

"You..."

Zao Qing, who was half leaning on the pillow, still looked calm, as if she had no interest in the blatant show of affection on the wall.

"Ayan is really the best~ A woman should be pampered by a man, otherwise she will just become a half-dead widow with a gloomy face all day long... Hey, Xiao Zaoqing, they are old friends anyway, why are you doing this? It looks like you don’t even bother to look at it... Could it be that... Xiao Zaoqing is jealous of the relationship between me and Ayan~ Ah, I’m really embarrassed~~"

Facing his lover, who was always looking for opportunities to provoke Zaoqing, Kayaba Akihiko could only helplessly sit aside and wait for the end of the farce.

"To be honest, I might as well look at you as a wife and slave in Kayaba. If it spreads out, it will scare a lot of old acquaintances!"

"It's been ten years, people will always change. Besides, what's wrong with wife and slaves? Love family and children! The once cold and handsome guy has become a family-loving and good man. In fact, Xiao Zaoqing, you are envious of me Humph~" The woman wrapped her arms around the neck of the man beside her, shaking her body full of pride, causing the man beside him to reach out and try to grab her swaying waist.

"Qingqing... don't make trouble..."

"I'm going to make trouble! Ayan~~~Ayan~~~"

The usual noise resounded throughout the room again, and Zaoqing routinely tore through the newspaper of the day that was thrown aside, but her gaze involuntarily ran to the place where the sea and the sky communicated in the distance.

That's right, since the young man who had no thoughts of life and death appeared to sow the seeds into the world, since the resolute woman gave up the real world to fully resurrect, and since she knew the cause and effect, she began to hesitate...

It's been, ten years...

Raising his hand, he stroked his chest slowly, carefully recalling all the past in his mind, but his mood was as calm as the sea.

It's calm... For ten years, I tried everything to find my own existence, and I finally got something. My shaken mind was re-established, and I was able to integrate into this world normally, live and communicate normally...

The line of sight slightly shifted to the wall display screen, the two Biren.

Probably all of this is thanks to these two guys who suddenly appeared in front of him eight years ago.

Thinking back to the day ten years ago when his sanity was completely shattered, ten years later, Zao Qing just sighed lightly——

Sai Weng loses his horse, how can I know it is not a blessing.

However, since everything has changed, I don't know the promise that person made...

"By the way, that guy Kirito has made it through the past few years~ He seems to have been promoted in the virtual class, and the scope of activities in the past few years seems to have spread all over the world~" Qingqing suddenly turned her sly eyes to Zao with great interest. clear.

"Ah, did Qingqing notice that too?"

"Notice?"

"Well, isn't it because Qingqing found the trace of Mr. Kirito in several virtual spaces nearby..."

"Hey!!!! That guy Kirito actually moved to the US server?!!!!" Qingqing threw herself at the opposite Kayaba, regardless of the juice stains left by eating fruit with her hands full and asked excitedly.

"Yeah, that's what happened in the past few days. I found Kirito-kun's data cache in DIEVWORLD in Los Angeles yesterday..." Kayaba had such an expression on his face, ignoring the two clear handprints on his chest, calmly Pull Qingqing's hand down.

"Hey~~~Xiao Zaoqing~~~~ Could it be that he came to look for..."

"Bang—" There was a loud bang from the door of the room.

Looking at the empty room in front of her, several wells appeared on the woman's forehead.

"This woman..."

"Whoever told you to always mention Kirito, no one will be calm." Kayaba opened the control panel in front of him with a habitual look, and observed the surrounding data.

"Ayan... I just look at Xiao Zaoqing who is very pitiful..." Qingqing followed pitifully, and grabbed Kayaba's sleeve, "...But, dare to slam the door in front of my old lady... Hmph, It’s not a lady if you don’t take revenge!!”

"Hey..." Kayaba rubbed his forehead, and since he was with this weird elf woman, he sighed more and more, "It's up to you, but don't go too far."

"Hmm~ Absolutely not too much!"

The author has something to say: express...it's really slow... Susu I can only cover my face in shame, please don't hit me...

Maybe reunion in the next chapter?Probably... =-=
