  Heartfelt thanks to "Book friend 150302183643533" and "Jian Shan Ying" for their rewards!

  Since that night when Yakumo Mokou comforted Kagome, the little girl finally regained her usual cheerfulness.

  Although they didn't understand how Yaiba no Sumi was going to make it possible for Kizuna, as a highly advanced AI, to live with them in the real world, both Asuna and Kizuna chose not to delve deeper into the matter.

  Baiyun Mo didn't give a detailed explanation either, he just participated in the strategy with more intensity than before.

  He is father, she is daughter.

  He is the husband, she is the wife.

  Believe him, that's enough.

  Ainulindal? is a massive floating steel city in the shape of an inverted cone.

  The higher the floor, the smaller the area.

  Although the area has become smaller, the density of monsters in the maze district has become extremely high.

  Thus it still brings great difficulty for players in the strategy group to find the room of the guardian BOSS.

  However difficult it may be, there will come a day when the BOSS room is found.

  Very soon, I cleared all 99 floors.

  Einhart Stratos, finally arrived at the last 100th floor!

  The last layer, the 100th layer, has only one town.

  The town is not big and there are no wild monsters in the wilderness outside the city.

  Same as this floor, there is no maze area.

  There is only one palace with a huge and magnificent spire.

  The palace is entirely red.

  "Hongyu Palace..."

  "We're finally... at the Hongyu Palace..."

  "Defeated the last guardian BOSS..."

  "We..."

  "I can finally leave this world behind..."

  Standing on the town's transmission square, countless strategy group players gaze at a palace not far away that gives people a huge sense of pressure, dazed and distracted.

  Some people have already burst into tears.

  It's been three years...

  I've been stuck in this damn game for three whole years.

  More than 4,000 players have died from various accidents and disappeared forever in SAO.

  Also left the real world forever.

  "We will ultimately triumph!"

  Looking at Kirito who was tightly gripping his long sword with bulging veins on the back of his hand, Yui patted his shoulder.

  "Don't worry, we will definitely win!"

  Heavily panting, Kirito put away the weapon in his hand.

  On the other side of Yagumo Ink is Diavel.

  The player who organized the first layer strategy later joined the Blood Oath Knights, second only to Asuna and Heathcliff.

  After Yasnaya left the team, although Hiltz occasionally led the team to attack, in fact, the real person in charge of the attacking group had become Diabel.

  Turning around, he clapped his hands to attract the attention of all the strategy group players and Diaoberu said loudly: "Everyone! After going through thousands of hardships, we finally arrived at the 100th floor! I believe you are all eager to tackle the final BOSS!"

  "But we've just gone through a 99-floor Guardian BOSS battle and aren't in our best state right now!"

  "Everyone go back! Take a day off! Gather here tomorrow morning! We... will kill our way back to the real world!"

  "Oh——!!"

  Countless players raised their weapons in hand and let out a loud, long whistle, venting the excitement and agitation in their hearts!

  Players returned to their respective homes one after another through the teleportation platform, and Akiho brought the members of Tsukuyo Black Cat to join Eichel and Klein by the side of Yakumo Mukuro and Kirito.

  "How about Ba Yun, shall we gather everyone tonight?"

  Qī tài smiled and asked.

  "Hmm? Gather together?"

  Baiyun Mo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly.

  "Alright! How about at my place in Yakumo?"

  "Needless to say? Of course I'll choose your place!"

  Hahaha...

  The night party was very lively.

  The Moonlit Black Cats, aside from the original members, everyone else also came. In addition to that, Kirito brought Lisbeth, and Klein, Agil, as well as Silica all came too.

  Because tomorrow is the final strategy, once the strategy succeeds, the game will be completely over!

  When the time comes, everyone will also leave this world, and if there is no accident, they will never come back forever!

  Asuna directly took out all the ingredients from her and Yui's public inventory, and with Shin's help, made a meal that was unprecedented in its richness.

  It also allowed those customers who had never enjoyed S-class ingredients to have a great time, and they envied the treatment that Yakumo Suketaka's family had received for being able to eat S-class ingredients from time to time.

  In SAO, there is no hangover, and regardless of how mentally exhausted the player is, they will fully recover after resting for more than two hours.

  Everyone had a great time playing together and didn't disperse until late at night.

  It will be daylight soon.

  When the first ray of sunlight shone on Aingelante, Hachiguma Ink woke up.

  Yagami Kuro glanced at Asuna and Yui sleeping on either side of him, then gently left a kiss on each of their foreheads before carefully getting out of bed.

  As soon as he got out of bed, Bayun Mo felt himself being gently hugged from behind.

  Soft touch, faint fragrance.

  Baiyun Mo turned around and gently wrapped his arms around Yaxi's slender waist, lowering his head to kiss her tender earlobe.

  Asuna let out a kitten-like squeak.

  "What's wrong... Yue... Yue is still..."

  "It's okay... The little guy is still sleeping..."

  Just as Yakumo Mokou finished speaking, a voice came from behind her ear.

  "Uh... Dad? Mom?"

  Baiyun Mo and Yaxi Na suddenly felt a jolt, then hastily separated.

  On the bed, Yui, who was originally still fast asleep, was now wide awake with her big round eyes open, curiously looking at Yakumo Suke and Asuna.

  "Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah! Kiyoi, how did you wake up?!"

  Yui burst out laughing.

  "Seeing Daddy and Mommy kiss..."

  Ayase treats Kusuo as a little kid, but Yumeno doesn't see him that way.

  Kazuki was born as an intelligent AI, and has existed relying on the network from the start. As such, it is only natural that she would inevitably receive all sorts of messages from the network.

  So if you really say that Yui doesn't understand anything, Hachioji Miku wouldn't believe it at all.

  "Now that you're awake, get up and have breakfast. After eating, Dad has something to tell you."

  "Hmm!"

  The little girl nodded obediently and slipped out of bed in a flash.

  After eating the sandwich carefully prepared by Asuna, Yui asked Yuki: "Yuki, do you still remember what Father said about being able to live with Mother and Father in the real world too?"

  "Uh-huh! Got it!"

  "Alright, Yui, you first turn your program's source code into a tangible object, and after daddy clears this game and returns to reality today, he'll think of a way to make you appear in the real world!"

  Kegii nodded without hesitation, and in front of Asuna and Yui Meku, the little guy's body began to emit a faint glow.

  In the radiance, Yui's body finally disintegrated into countless dazzling fluorescent lights, which eventually converged to form a sky blue teardrop-shaped pendant that fell onto Yakumo Sumeragi's hand.

  "Is this... Yui?"

  Looking at the pendant in Yún Mò's hand, Asuna covered her small mouth and asked softly.

  He put the pendant around his neck, gently embracing Asuna's slender waist, and Yui said: "Don't worry, I'll definitely let our family reunite in reality!"

  I believe you!
