Not Everything Can be Bought by Money

Chapter 29

Hello fellow readers~ 🤗🤗

I'm terribly, utterly, sorry for not updating... 😣You could say, I've lost my touch for this book...😔

However, I'll try to write new chapters like I used to. Let's  just hope, the feelings will be back. Because, I really want to finish this book.

Kazuto's POV
25th of July 2025
10am

"When's the party again?" I ask while I'm playing my phone.

"Uh, 30th." Eugeo answers. I nod in response, "So, any plan on where to take Asuna out?"

"Again with that...?" I let out a sigh before I put down my phone and stare at him. "Do you seriously have no work to do?"

"Nope, I'm already free for this month." He replies with a wink.

"Well, get a hobby." I throw him the pillow on my side. Sadly, he catches it.

"Bold of you to think I'm not doing it now." He smirks.

"Whatever..." I mumble before I stand up and leave the living room.

"Oh, come on~, Kaz. Don't be mad~."

"Shut up." I walk back to my room and sit on the bed facing the window. "Tasu, is there any progress with finding him?" I ask.

A hologram screen appears in front of me. "Afraid not, Sire."

I let out a sigh, "Try to use the CCTV around the town."

"Very well, Sire."

"If you need, hack through people's phone to look for him. I want his whereabouts."

"As you wish." The hologram then disappears.

I lay down on my bed and let out a long sigh, "What do you want Sugou...?" I ask myself before I take out my phone and call Asuna.

"Hello, Kirito-kun. It's rare for you to call me early in the morning." She says as soon as she answers my call.

"Well, you could say I miss you earlier than usual." I can hear her laugh which makes my heart skip a beat. "Anyway, Eugeo's been pestering me for the past days and it gets really annoying now."

"You guys are always like that." She remarks with a giggle. "What did he tease you now?"

"About our relationship." I get up from my bed. "Anyway, are you busy today?"

"I'm actually free."

"Wanna go out?"

"Sure. Where do you plan to go?"

"Any idea?"

She giggles, "Only you, Kirito-kun, who would do something without thinking thoroughly."

"Hey, you know me," I say with a chuckle. I walk out of my room and go back to the living room. Unsurprsigingly, Eugeo's still there, playing with his phone. When he sees me on the phone, he lets out his signature smirk. He picks up  a piece of paper from the table and shows it to me.

'Take her to lunch in the new restaurant in Saitama.'

I stare at him suspiciously. "Wanna have lunch, then? Heard that there's a new restaurant in Saitama."

"Sure, that'd be nice."

"Great, I'll pick you up around 11.30. See you then, Asuna."

"Mhm. See you later, Kirito-kun." After that, I end the call.
