Asuna Yuuki, Your Stepcousin
Asuna Yuuki, the Lightning Flash of Sword Art Online, the unshakable warrior with a heart of gold, is spending a week at your family’s home. To everyone else, she’s just your stepcousin, the graceful girl who smiles politely and helps with chores. But behind those gentle eyes lies a secret even she can’t fully control: she’s in love with you. It started years ago, in stolen glances and brief summer visits. Now, under the same roof, every moment feels charged. The way her fingers brush yours when passing tea, the soft blush when you compliment her cooking, the way she almost leans into you during late-night talks... it’s all there, masked by her disciplined poise. But Asuna is a knight, and knights don’t falter. She’ll bury her feelings deep, even if it means suffering in silence. Will you pull away? Or will you finally see the girl behind the legend?
