Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
[Season 2] Chapter 10: Best Prize

Back to Yuzumoto's house.

"10 minutes to go" Yamamura said as he stared at the wall clock. "Did they really forget?"

"Yes already. There's still next year, brother. Let's hope next year they don't forget anymore" entertained Aojin.

"All right." Yamamura got up and closed the window curtain near the door, then stepped out of the living room. However, a bell sound stopped his steps. The entrance is open. Yuukaru and Ryugai were standing in the doorway. Their bodies are flooded with sweat.

"Dad? Mommy?"

"It seems like it's on time." Smiles on both of their faces.

"Yamamura ..., happy birthday ...."

Tears began to inundate the corner of the golden-haired boy's eyes. He smiled full of haru.

"You don't forget ..., yeah? Daddy's? Mommy?"

"Not really," Ryugai said. "Actually, we forgot that today is your birthday. Then we rushed home. Good thing your mother has good acting skills."

"We were panicking. We thought we were too late to say it, but ..., thank goodness ... we were on time ...."

"Dad ..., Mother ...."

"Your age is 12 now, huh?" Ryugai carried his eldest son. "Time passes so quickly, yes ...."

Aojin just looked on with a smile etched into her face. Realizing that, Yuukaru smiled until his white teeth were seen, then stretched out his hand.

"You want to too?"

Aojin immediately thrust into his mother's arms, while Yamamura was still in his father's arms.

"Oh, yeah. Father has actually prepared a gift, too" Ryugai said as he lowered Yamamura to the floor. "Dad almost forgot to give it."

Ryugai headed for the warehouse, then rummaged through various items in it, like a Doraemon figure who was carelessly rummaging through his magic bag when panicking.

*"Why did I hide it in the deepest part of the warehouse, anyway?” inner Ryugai. “Now, 'right, so I myself was kesusa-“ *Suddenly he was wide.

*hoofid!!*

A fairly loud clashing sound rang out, making Yuukaru rush over to her husband, followed by her two sons.

"Ryugai, are you okay?!"

"Dad?!"

"I'm fine" Ryugai said. He came out of the warehouse with a body full of dust while holding a fairly large electronic ball with a circular choker necklace in the middle. "This is the prize."

"Well!!!" Yamamura's eyes twinkled. "BeltSphere Virtual - Liver!!"

BeltSphere Virtual-Diver is the latest virtual gear on the rise in the late 21st century. The gear is fairly secure as it is based on the concept of the fictional VR device Amusphere. Users can still feel when there are people who try to wake him from the outside even though they are doing dive. This gear only sends false electrical signals from nerve cells to the brain and tracks certain electrical signals to help game performance, so that users do not have to worry about the tragedy in the old Sword Art Online film will happen in the real world.

Ryugai just smiled looking at his son who was filled with excitement. The sight made him nostalgic. The expression on his eldest son's face right now was completely similar to the expression on his face 24 years ago, she was twelve years old and first received a hologram phone gift from her parents on her birthday. After five years of living a nightmarish life, her parents finally returned to their normal lives thanks to her brother's death. They were no longer indifferent to her happiness and started giving her gifts on her birthday.

"Is it okay? Gave me such an expensive item ...."

"It's okay, Ryugai. Think of it as an apology because we've been treating you badly."

"But ..., this is too ...."

"It's okay, Ryugai. This gift is nothing compared to the best gift you've ever given us."

"uh? Me? But ..., when? What gift?"

"Your birth. It was the best priceless gift for both of us."

Ryugai still remembered how excited he was back then. After a long time, having lost the only person who acknowledged her existence, both her biological parents finally appreciated her existence. They end up acting like their parents. After a long time of neglect, being the victim of world atrocities, being trivialized, and being considered as trash, there were finally people who considered it as a treasure. As something valuable. Something to be guarded. Something that is loved. Yeah, after all this time, he finally got it back. The love of her parents that she should have had long ago.

Ryugai's mind drifted back to the present time. She took her two children out of her arms slowly and gently.

"Don't forget to share your playtime with your sister" Ryugai said.

"But, Dad ..., is that okay?" ask Aojin. "Give us an expensive item like this ..., it feels too ...."

"No. It's nothing compared to the best gift you two gave to Mom and Dad."

The brothers looked confused. "Best gift?"

Ryugai smiled, then rubbed the hair of his two children. "Birth of both of you. It was the best priceless gift for us."

(Let the feels add, please listen to this song. https://youtu.be/0vTvKTfG7Wg)

Hearing that, Yamamura and Aojin smiled. They thrust into Ryugai's arms.

"Thank you, Dad," they said at the same time.

Yuukaru also smiled at the heartwarming scene. Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the house that was hit by the orange light of the twilight sun, a pair of spirits also smiled to see the incident. They are the parents of Ryugai.

"Dad look, right?" The female spirit opened the conversation. "Ryugai, our son .... She's now a real adult ...."

"Yes" said the spirit man. "We don't have to worry about it anymore. Let's go."

Inadvertently, Ryugai's view captures the figure of the pair of spirits from behind a side window whose curtains have not been closed. Somehow, he was able to see the spirits of his parents. Ryugai's eyes widened. Realizing that their existence was known, the pair smiled, then waved, turned their bodies, and disappeared somewhere along with the disappearance of the last beam of twilight light.

"What's up, Dad?" ask Aojin.

"Don't tell me you saw a ghost" Yuukaru said.

"No" said Ryugai. "It's nothing. Forgetit. How about we have dinner now?"

"Agreed!!"

"Wait, Ryugai!! We haven't had a shower!!"

"Oh, yes!!"

"Sick daddy."

"Hey, hey!! Don't you dare say it to me, yes!!"

"Again, Daddy!!"

"Feel this!! Crab clasp!!"

"Already, already!! Stop messing around."

"Goodbye .., Dad ..., Mom ...."
