The afternoon sun shone through the clouds and onto the land of Fantasy Town.
The House of the Lost.
Sitting under the ever-blooming cherry tree in the courtyard, Eight-cloud Ink held a cup of black tea and quietly watched a petal fall into the cup.
"It's really peaceful …"
Lowering her long and neat eyelashes, Eight Cloud Ink leisurely tasted the black tea.
"… Sure enough, Blue's skills are better."
Turning into a fox, nestled on the other side of the courtyard, nine big furry tails wrapped itself into a fur ball, the ears on Blue's head twitched as it lazily sunbathed.
Luo Tianyi, the little girl, was squatting by the side, gently and carefully combing Blue's fur with a comb, humming a light tune.
Mercury Lamp was lying on the treetops, spreading its wings and basking in the sun.
Narako shook the long hair on her head and sat beside Eight-cloud Ink, looking down at a book called Fantasy Town Begins that she borrowed from Azuda Akiu.
After lunch, Katsuko had been hiding in the room to play games.
"Blue is very sensitive to the underworld power contained in the tea leaves produced by White Jade Tower, so it can always grasp the best combination ratio."
After asking Accelerator to take care of Yui, Orange Meow, and Misaka to the Red Devil Mansion to play with Flando, Ashina knelt in front of Eight-cloud Ink and filled his tea.
"It's a pity that I can't master this skill."
With an apologetic tone, Asuna pursed his lips and smiled.
"I don't mean to be dissatisfied." Eight-cloud Ink put down the teacup and gently held Ashina's hand. "I'm very happy to have a wife like you."
"Hmm …"
On the other side, Narako snorted a few times.
"My dear, you're so biased."
Ashina was now able to face Narako calmly. Seeing the evil girl's awkward look, she smiled and said, "Narako, do you want to hear the story between Ink and me?"
"Ah? Dear Sister, do you have a story? "
Narako put down the book in her hand, blinking her green eyes, showing a look of interest.
"I want to listen!"
Ashina held onto Eight-cloud Ink's arm and leaned her body against his chest. She took a deep breath of the lily fragrance that could easily make people drowsy like the sunlight.
"Mo and I met in a game …"
"Game?"
"Yes, it's a game called Word Art Online. Although it's a game, it's not a joke. You can really die."
Ashina stretched out her hand and gently wrapped Eight-cloud Ink's long hair around her wrist. Feeling the silky texture on her fingertips, Ashina recalled the days in SAO.
Following Ashina's movements, the Yin Yang Jade pendant on Eight-cloud Ink's hair made a tinkling sound.
After telling Narako about SAO, the Demon girl showed a fascinated expression.
"That kind of game, I really want to play it …"
Narako, who didn't experience the pressure of death brought by SAO to ordinary Players, simply regarded it as a fun game.
"At that time, I was the vice-leader of the strongest guild in SAO, responsible for leading the Clearers to clear the entire game."
"Mo, who has always been a lone wolf, fought against the entire Clearers by himself and achieved a record that was on par with the Clearers. To be honest, at first, I was really curious about Mo. What kind of person can do that?"
"So after you came to my house for the first time, you began to run to my house, and in the end, you fell into my house?"
Eight-cloud Ink hugged Ashina's slender waist, then gently rubbed his chin on his wife's head.
"It's so nice …"
Looking at the intimate relationship between Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina in front of her, Narako showed an envious look. She didn't know if it was because of the game or because of Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina.
Ashina rubbed Eight-cloud Ink's arms, then continued: "Later, with the efforts of the Clearers and Mo, we finally reached the last floor of the game. As a result, the final boss waiting for us there was actually the leader of my guild."
"It turns out that he is the game developer, the one who created this death game, Kayaba Akihiko."
Now when mentioning Kayaba Akihiko, Ashina no longer had the resentment she had at that time.
A long time has passed, and a lot of things have happened to her. Many people and things that she used to hold a grudge against in the past have now moved on.
[As long as Mo and Yui are by my side, everything doesn't matter anymore …]
"Mo and Kayaba Akihiko fought alone and won the game. After clearing the game, we finally returned to reality."
"After that, Mo told me his true identity — a monster from the Land of Fantasy."
"When you knew that I was a monster, weren't you afraid at all?" Eight-cloud Ink looked down at Ashina in her arms and asked.
"So what if I was afraid?"
Ashina had a gentle smile on her face.
"At that time, I couldn't leave you …"
After a while, Ashina continued: "Later, Mo, Yui, and I went to a world called Elemental Fairy World …"
After telling her experience in the Elemental Fairy World, Ashina felt thirsty, and Eight-cloud Ink handed her a cup of black tea.
"So, so many things happened between sister and my dear …"
Narako's eyes were a bit unfocused.
Ashina sat up from Eight-cloud Ink's arms and smiled: "Narako, I'm telling you this because I want you to know that there's still a long way to go for Mo to accept you."
Ashina had a smile on her face, but Eight-cloud Ink felt uncomfortable in her heart.
"I'll do my best!"
Narako clenched her fists and nodded solemnly, then bowed to Ashina.
"Sister, I'm sorry for offending you before!"
"It's okay —"
Ashina was about to say something, but suddenly her eyes lit up as if she remembered something important.
"Right! Mo! Didn't you say that Kayaba Akihiko gave you that 'seed'? "
"You mean … The Seed?"
"Yes!"
Ashina nodded.
"With that thing, can you recreate Aincrad?"
"Recreate Aincrad?"
Eight-cloud Ink's eyes lit up.
"Seed? TheSeed？”
Narako's ahoge curled up into a question mark.
Eight-cloud Ink immediately told Narako about the seed.
"That thing has always been in my spiritual sea. I haven't paid much attention to it since I left SAO."
Eight-cloud Ink began to think about the feasibility of recreating Aincrad.
"With that seed, with the help of the Fantasy Sapling, and with the help of Fantasy Village's barrier, it is not impossible to recreate Aincrad."
"It's just that I can't do it alone, I need sister's help!"
"However, Big Sister has fallen asleep again …"
Yukari, who was sleepy in spring, sleepy in summer, sleepy in autumn, and hibernating in winter, once again left all her work to Lan He and Eight-cloud Ink, she went to sleep again.
"Since sister went to sleep again, it's better not to disturb her, but can we find someone else?" Ashina asked. "Like Yukari? Yukari? Or Eight-senpai? "
Eight-cloud Ink lowered her head and pondered, then said: "Sister Yukari and Yukari are very powerful, but they are not suitable for creation. Eight-senpai's magical attainment is superb, so he can help. We can also ask Sister Muq if she has a solution. Also, since those demons can create a different dimension from the real world, they should be able to help us in this regard."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! "
Narako jumped up. She was also looking forward to the creation of Aincrad that made Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina fall in love.
