"Thank you so much, both of you and Mr. Kirito!"

Bakaha looked energetic and got along well with his companions.

"Being in good spirits is better than anything else. I came here today to tell you something."

"information?"

"Well, we got married."

"Oh, you're finally getting married? Congratulations, both of you!"

"Thank you, Bakaha-kun!"

"Thanks, Bakaha."

"Of course not! I've always thought you two were a match made in heaven. I'm so happy for you!"

After receiving Bakaha's blessing, the two went to Floria's Ashley shop in the main street of the 47th floor.

"Good afternoon, Miss Ashley~"

"haven't seen you for a long time"

"Hey, isn't that Asuna? Even Hachiman-kun is here, what a rare visitor! Wanna go shopping with me today?"

"No, I'm here to inform you today!"

"notify?"

"Yes! That..."

Asuna glanced at Hachiman secretly, and receiving this look, Hachiman took a step forward.

"Ms. Ashley, long time no see. I came here today to inform you of our marriage."

As they spoke, they showed Ashley their wedding rings. Ashley was stunned at first, then suddenly she grabbed their hands and burst into amazing joy.

"Congratulations! I'm so happy!"

"Thank you."

"Thank you Miss Ashley!"

Faced with Ashley's exaggerated reaction, the two were a little surprised, but they still smiled at each other because they felt the sincere blessing. However, the next words made them stunned.

"But this is all to be expected! As expected of me! You're a genius!"

"Um...what do you mean by 'worthy'?"

Hachiman was about to ask further questions when Ashley took Asuna's hand and walked straight into the inner room.

"Hachiman-kun, wait a moment, Asuna, come over here."

"Ah, okay."

"Huh? Huh?"

Faced with an unyielding attitude, Hachiman had no choice but to watch Asuna being led into the inner room. While waiting, he browsed the equipment on display in the store.

(If I want to buy clothes for Asuna, I have to make them custom. I need to collect tailoring materials. I'll collect them when I have time.)

Just as I was thinking about it, a call came from the inner room.

"Hachiman-kun can come over now~"

"Okay, here you go"

When Hachiman entered the inner room, he saw Asuna standing there shyly in a pure white wedding dress.

"Ohhh... there's an angel."

"How, how..."

"It fits perfectly... She's so beautiful, she's truly an angel."

“Thank you…”

Asuna, who was always lively, was just twisting her fingers shyly at this moment. Seeing her like this, Hachiman felt an infinite pity in his heart.

"But when did Miss Ashley prepare such a dress?"

"Actually, I got some rare materials a few days ago and was planning to make a shop sign. Since it's a rare opportunity, I wanted to have someone try it on, so I decided to find someone I know who would best show off the clothes..."

"The first person that comes to mind is Asuna."

"After all, my Asuna is the cutest in the world."

"My Asuna... My Asuna..."

Asuna blushed as she repeated the name.

"Alright, Asuna, come back! Speaking of which, when I decided to make a dress for Asuna, I suddenly thought of Hachiman-kun's face, and it was a flash of inspiration that inspired me to make this dress."

"So it fits perfectly without any adjustments."

"I see. That's why you said, 'As expected of me'."

"That's right! That's why this business is so addictive."

"Ms. Ashley is awesome."

Hachiman gave a thumbs-up, and Ashley returned the gesture.

"But calling her 'my Asuna'... Last time I came here, Asuna denied it. What a change."

"Eh? Did I tell you? Hachiman-kun has always been my Hachiman-kun."

"Asuna sometimes acts silly when it comes to me...but that's also cute."

"Alright, alright, I'm so envious. Speaking of which, this is a rare opportunity, I wanted to take a commemorative photo with you. But I just don't have the right materials for Ba Die's costume yet."

"How about the one I ordered earlier? Or the Blood Knights' staff uniform?"

"Oh, yes, Hachiman-kun joined the Knights of the Blood Alliance as a staff officer... and directly became a cadre. How impressive!"

“It’s not as exaggerated as you say.”

"Can I try on that uniform?"

"Ok"

Yawata operates the window to change equipment.

"Please stand over here, both of you."

Asuna stood still, holding Hachiman's arm.

"Great! Let's record both outfits."

"By the way, I have a recording crystal with me. Could you please take a few more pictures?"

"Of course. We're going to take a picture! Smile~"

In this way, the blissful image was preserved forever. This data was later transferred to Haruno by an external analysis team, and Hachiman would one day be deeply grateful for this.

The last place they visited was Kizmel's residence on the fourth floor. As soon as they entered the Dark Elf Castle, Kizmel was already waiting beside them, seemingly aware that they had crossed the line.

"Kizmel, long time no see!"

"Yo, are you okay?"

"Welcome, everyone. The last time the three of us got together was about a year ago, right?"

“Sorry I don’t come here often”

"No need to apologize. Although it's difficult to get together, don't you often come to see me individually? But it's really a pleasure to be reunited as a trio after such a long absence."

In fact, it had been a year since the two of them had visited together. They would visit each other whenever they came to the lower floors to do business, but it had been a long time since the three of them had gathered together.

　"But is there something that brought you here today?"

"Well, I have some news to announce. Is the Viscount here?"

"Yes, I'll take you there right away."

When he saw the Viscount, he smiled with joy.

Welcome

"It's been a long time since I last met you, Your Excellency the Viscount."

"You two have become so powerful that I am no match for you."

The Viscount said that he seemed to be able to sense the difference in rank.

"We're working hard! We're fighting on the 75th floor of the Sky Tower right now."

"We're almost at the summit. I don't know what's there, but please keep going."

"Thank you for your blessing."

"Your Excellency, Kizmel, I'm here today to inform you two..."

Both showed rings on their left hands.

"This is... the Ring of the Oathed Elf. You have forged a bond with the elves."

The two nodded in response, understanding that this referred to marriage.

"Yes!"

"Congratulations, both of you!"

"Congratulations"

"Thank you so much!"

"How about sitting in my tent?"

"OK"

"Then I will continue to handle official business. Please make yourselves at ease."

"Thank you, Viscount."

The three of them bid farewell to the Viscount and headed for the tent. Asuna excitedly chatted with Kizmel, with Hachiman occasionally interjecting and nodding. The long-awaited reunion seemed to turn back time. Before they knew it, the sun had set in the west. As the two prepared to return, Kizmel suddenly gazed at a point in the sky.

"Just now there was an elf watching you, but now it has gone upwards."

(What's going on? What caught Kizmel's attention... is it system-related?)

"Does the elf have malicious intent?"

"Not at all. Perhaps the spirits born in the Origin Town Labyrinth have taken an interest in you and are heading towards your residence."

"There's a labyrinth in the Town of Beginnings? Asuna, have you heard of it?"

"Miss Argo seems to have mentioned similar information."

"I see... I'll go find her later to get information. But why does the elf know about our family?"

"The reason is unknown, but the image the elf conveyed is exactly the same as the residence I heard you describe."

"Got it...Thanks Kizmel, we'll go back and take a look."

"Goodbye Kizmel!"

"See you next time"

"Waiting for you two to come again"
