Chapter 11 – Sword Art Online (5)
‘It’s no different from the picture.’
It was not significantly different from the photograph enclosed in the report.
A neutral face with thin lines, innocent-looking eyes, and long, wavy straight hair.
With all of that put together, the future looked promising.
No, the real thing is much better than the picture.
There is no comparison between the photo taken secretly in the first place and the real thing that came out properly decorated.
‘Looks like he’s looking for me.’
Kazuto looked around the extension.
Seo-joon looked at her eagerly. Soon, her gaze falls on him.
A few seconds to exchange gazes in the air like that.
She cautiously approached Seo-joon.
“I…”
Kazuto, who had come closer, hesitated.
Seo-joon hit her head first before she could speak.
“Are you Kirito?”
“Uh, yes. That’s right. So what did you give me?”
“Huh. I am Jun.”
“Wow, good luck! I thought it was someone else!”
Her expression brightens.
Until just now, I was wondering if it was or not.
Seo-joon held out her hand to her, smiling at her.
Seeing that, Kazuto tilted her head, but she recognized the intention of shaking her hand and quickly grabbed it.
“Nice to meet you, Kirito.”
“Nice to meet you too, Jun.”
After the handshake, Seojun said.
“Then, should I properly introduce myself? I am Seojun Lee. As the name suggests, I am Korean.”
“Wow, Koreans? You speak Japanese well.”
“Well, I’ve lived in Japan since I was little. So what’s your name?”
“Ah, I’m Kirigaya Kazuto.”
“Aha, the nickname Kirito came from your name.”
“Huh. Jun, did you also have a nickname with your own name?”
“That’s convenient.”
“Whoops, that’s right.”
I thought it would be awkward, but the two got along pretty well in real life.
The two sat down on a bench in the park and talked for a while.
The more we talked, the more friendly we felt.
“But I never thought Kirito could be such a pretty girl.”
“… Uh?”
She puts on a puzzled expression at the sudden compliment.
However, her face soon turned red and she waved her hand.
“Ah, how pretty am I? I have the same name as a boy, and my appearance is also neutral. My sister, Sugu, is prettier than me.”
“Okay? I don’t know what Sugura is like, but I think you’re pretty enough.”
“Even if you praise me like that, nothing comes out~!”
Kirito turned her head away.
Let’s laugh at that cute figure for a while.
I focused on what she said immediately.
“I was more surprised than that. I didn’t know Jun could be this handsome.”
“Oh, thank you for the compliment. It feels so good to be praised by a cute kid like you.”
“Ehh.”
Kirito let out a deep sigh.
I didn’t really like Seojun’s smirking reaction.
But there was no objection at all.
She is a woman too.
Of course it’s nice when a handsome guy compliments you on how pretty you are.
However, there was still a bit of reluctance because the feeling of being a friend was stronger than that of the opposite sex.
Well, I fully understand.
They say they interacted a lot, but that was the story of the game.
Since today was the first time we’ve met in real life, it’s rather strange to want them to feel rational emotions.
But it will gradually change.
Because he had an incubus trait.
Time was on his side.
After that, the two played around.
Well, it was almost like a date.
Kirito seems to have enjoyed it as if he were going out with friends.
‘I’m glad you liked it.’
The dating course was designed by him himself.
Kirito had similar tastes, so she liked places he liked.
Maybe that’s why, I was very proud.
So the four-hour date came to an end.
“Let’s meet again next time we have a chance.”
“Okay. Rather, are you going to log in today?”
“Oh, I guess so.”
Nodding at Seo-jun’s answer, Kirito shook his hand.
After he also responded, the two headed to their respective homes with a short goodbye.
***
One day, a few days after dating Kirito.
Seo-joon headed to the place where he and Asuna had promised to go on a date.
“Jun-kun!”
“Sorry, did you wait long?”
“Yes. I just came too.”
Seojun looked at Asuna.
It was evident that he had prepared well.
The fact that he dressed up like that to look good on himself made me laugh.
“Hey, you look pretty today.”
“Whoops, thank you. Jun-kun is even cooler today?”
“I’m on a date with Asuna, so of course I put a lot of effort into decorating it.”
After exchanging good wishes, the two leisurely walked along the set date course.
Seo-joon personally planned the date course just like Kirito did, but he had a hard time waking up to suit the general taste of a celebrity.
I was nervous, but I’m relieved that the reaction was okay.
The two enjoyed dating.
We crossed our arms, took sticker pictures, watched a good movie together, and fed each other crepes.
Then, before I knew it, the sun was going down.
I enjoyed it without noticing the passage of time.
“Whoa, it was fun.”
“It was fun, I’m glad.”
The two walked through the park holding hands.
Each other’s warmth passed through their hands.
As they slowly walked around the park, exchanging small talk, Asuna said.
“Jun.”
“Huh?”
“I have something I want to tell Jun-kun.”
Asuna’s eyes were filled with determination.
Oh, that’s it.
Seo-joon sensed what would come out of her mouth.
And words came out that were not very different from what he expected.
“Jun-kun, I’ve liked you since before. Would you like to go out with me?”
Direct confession.
At that, Seo-jun’s head tightened.
‘Can’t I get a confession already?’
My initial plan went awry.
Originally, it was normal to confess inside Sword Art Online.
But maybe it was because he worked too hard on the good impression, Asuna confessed.
‘… I’m sure he will be happy if he receives it.’
Even though it’s 2D like 3D, Asuna is definitely a good girl.
She will surely be happy if she goes out with her.
However, in order to achieve his harem plan, he couldn’t go out with her alone.
Inwardly, Seo-joon tapped on the calculator to find out how much he would like her now.
‘Maybe this will be enough?’
It even had an incubus trait, so it was worth trying.
But instead, you have to be prepared to become trash yourself.
Seo-joon weighed.
Harem and trash.
Of course, the conclusion was quick because the electron weight was heavier.
Seojun replied to Asuna.
“Thank you, I like you too.”
“Phew, I wasn’t the only one who liked it…”
Asuna’s expression noticeably brightened.
However, her expression was reversed by Seo-jun’s words.
“But I can’t date you.”
“To? Why?”
“Because I like Yuuki and Aiko to the same extent.”
Asuna looked straight at Seojun.
Their gazes collided in the air for a moment, and soon Seo-jun’s mouth opened again.
“So I want to date all of you.”
Seo-joon thought he was really trash even after he said it.
To be honest, he never dreamed he would say something like this.
But he has to get used to it, even for the future.
He waited for Asuna’s answer while writhing in embarrassment.
“Yeah, I knew Jun-kun would say that.”
She smiled bitterly as if she knew this would happen.
However, he said it with a bright smile.
“Jun-kun, did you say that because you didn’t want the two of you to get hurt?”
It’s not.
I just wanted to set up a harem.
Those words came up to his throat, but Seo-joon smiled bitterly without expressing himself.
“Haha…”
“Yes, because in love, the person you fell in love with first lost. To be honest, I didn’t want to see them sad either.”
“You mean that?”
“Like Jun said, let’s all get along well together.”
At Asuna’s answer, Seo-joon exploded into a fanfare.
‘Uhaha, fanfare~!!’
It seems that the incubus trait was more fraudulent in relationships with women than he thought.
Harem being recognized in the monogamous worldview.
“However, there are conditions.”
“Uh? Condition?”
“Never disrespect me. I am a woman who is more jealous than Jun thought.”
“Of course! I will treat you with respect.”
“Then… Kiss me to commemorate our date.”
Asuna stretched out her arms as if asking for a hug.
Seo-joon took her in her arms and brought her face closer.
When they got close enough to touch each other’s breath, Asuna gently closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Seojun cautiously kissed her.
After holding her lips together for a while, she slipped her tongue in.
Asuna flinched and trembled.
She opened her eyes and saw Seo-joon.
The look of bewilderment was palpable.
Seojun smiled and tapped his teeth with his tongue.
Then, Asuna slowly opened her mouth, and Seo-jun’s tongue penetrated into it and gently stirred her insides.
“Chew. Chew. Haum.”
The sound of mixing tongues echoes nakedly.
Asuna’s face turned red, either because she was having trouble breathing or because she was embarrassed.
Before long, their mouths fell apart.
Transparent solid lines stretch from the tips of each other’s tongues and break off.
“How was your first kiss?”
“… Jun is pervert.”
To Seo-jun’s question, Asuna answers by burying her face in his arms.
In response to that, Seo-joon licked his lips with a satisfied smile.
Her mouth tasted like strawberry crepes.
Kirigaya Kazuto (Kirito)
