Alice began telling everyone in the room about her background, mhcp, and mhhp. At first, the four people raised their voices in surprise several times, but as Alice talked, they gradually calmed down, and in the end, no matter what Alice said, they did not respond and just spoke silently. I just listened as this state continued. After Alice finally finished explaining, Yuuki moved her mouth.
\"Well, that is to say, Yui-chan is a program created by Miss Alice to take care of the player's heart, and she is the daughter-in-law of Kirito and Shino. Is it a more advanced program than you, do you mean?"
"Thanks for the summary. That's what it is. Not to mention surprising."
Unknowingly, Lisbeth sat down with her eyes half open.
\"No matter what happens, I'm not surprised anymore. Not since I first felt that Alice-san was a former employee of Argus.\"
"It doesn't matter."
After Alice said this, Asuna moved her face closer to Jupiter.
"There is such a thing as a child born in a computer, something close to a living being."
Silica said while touching Bina's shoulder.
\"It's true that I can't even think of Pina as a program, or that it would be surprising to say that she is a living entity, but this girl is more advanced than Pina, or even Yui-chan. That's one thing."
Alice stood up, walked to Silica, and stared at Pina.
\"Oh, by the way. I have only developed mhcp and mhhp, and have not created routines or thinking patterns for taming monsters. However, for "familiar" like Silica's Pina, it is already quite advanced. Use It has AI, so this Jupiter is a higher level thing.”
Yui sat on Shino's lap and turned her attention to Alice.
"It's a bit unbelievable that you are our developer."
Alice turned to face Yui.
"That's right, although I created you, I didn't devote myself to teaching you all kinds of things. I just operated the computer and integrated various things into your bodies. It's natural that you don't understand me."
Leafa looked at Alice and Yui alternately with a grumpy look on her face.
\"In other words, is Yui-chan's biological mother Miss Alice, not Miss Shino?"
\"That's true, but Shino is definitely Yui's mother, not me. I just created Yui and them, and didn't do anything to them. With love. The Shino who comes into contact with her is Yui's real Mother."
When I turned my face to Shino as a test, she lowered her head slightly and her face turned red. It must have been embarrassing for me to know that he treated me with love face to face. This situation feels cute somehow.
\"And Miss Alice. Is Jupiter okay? Didn't it mean that Jupiter was sealed and it would be bad if he came out?\"
Alice turned to face me, her expression slightly serious.
\"Kirito-san, didn't you notice? Jupiter's seal has been lifted\"
"I was shocked by these words." Jupiter was supposed to be sealed by Alice with a strict password. However, the fact that Jupiter came out like this means that the seal has been broken.
\"No way, \"Fugitive\"!?\"
Alice nodded slowly.
"The code for the Jupiter seal is a complex combination of 50 alphanumeric symbols that only I know, even on Argus. A brute force attack with a supercomputer would take over a year. --- Super advanced. Except for hacking and cracking." "
Yuuki's eyes widened when she heard the words coming from Alice's mouth.
“Fifty figures are daunting”
I was overwhelmed when I heard it was a 50-digit password, but it turns out Alice's security is so strong.
However, the existence that was supposed to be sealed under security appeared in this way, which meant that someone used a violent attack on the supercomputer to break the security that took more than a year and let Jupiter out.
Among the staff of Argus, only Alice, who knows the password, and the "fugitive" who have the technical ability to destroy all the computers of the police across the country can do such a thing.
\"Wait, \"Fugitive\"!?
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Leafa who responded to my words, and Lisbeth among them also tilted her head.
"[Broken Man]? What exactly is [Broken Man]?"
"I get it, the people here are people who are interested in online games, but not much interested in the Internet." Even if we suddenly started talking about "The Runaways," they wouldn't understand. I immediately explained it to everyone gathered.
Lisbeth crossed her arms and nodded after hearing the description of "Fugitive".
"Well, in other words, he is a well-known cybercrime expert in the Internet community."
"To be precise, he is a cyber terrorist. He is shaking Japan now. Businesses, politicians, and the media are all afraid of him."
As soon as I finished explaining "The Runaways," Lifa added:
\"Asuna and the others, or my brother, probably don't know about this, but there are as many news about "Fugitives" as there are about SAo.\"
According to Leafa, about a year after we were trapped in SAo, the news program was hacked by "The Runaways" and this footage was deliberately cut from the news, and the mass media paid huge sums of money for it. It seems to have happened. Such incidents: National television aired images of politicians, ad agencies and celebrities being bribed to stop them reporting on inconvenient matters.
Thanks to this, news programs, governments, and advertising agencies have been able to rise from the ashes. About 10 advertising agencies closed, more than 30 politicians and celebrities were fired, and more than 20 news programs disappeared, including all county-specific news programs.
In addition, the stock prices of the surviving advertising companies were manipulated into plummeting. It seemed that he had been driven to the brink of death.
"Has he gotten this far? I thought he was just influential online, but I haven't been able to influence TV shows and politics for so long that I can't do that anymore. No, I guess it's something I shouldn't Something left alone.
After explaining, Leafa spread her hands.
"This was a wonderful cybercrime, but there are a lot of opinions on the Internet, like 'Long live the Breakers' or 'Breakers' are heroes who swing a hammer at the evil mass media and politicians. "Some extremists say, "[Broken Man] is the true justice who suppresses injustice," or "the god of justice who crushes evil." It shouldn't be like this."
"But I think what the 'Fugitives' are doing is justified. It's like they've deceived everyone, and they're a brilliant bunch of fraudsters. I think it's commendable to expose the truth." In fact, the mass media and politicians are deceiving people. "
As Alice said, there are indeed ad agencies and politicians bribing the mass media to gain control. The actions and existence of “hit and run men” are inexcusable, but at the same time, the actions of the mass media, politicians, and advertising agencies are also inexcusable from our citizen’s perspective.
I think it's fair to say, with Leafa's development, that "what 'The Breaker' did was definitely a crime, but at the same time, Alice's point of view of protecting 'The Breaker' man" Effective. I think
"However, that reputation has been reduced to zero due to the many hacks and cracks that have caused trouble for so many people. Because he hacked good companies and good people and literally destroyed them."
At this point, I can finally fully agree with Alice.
If The Fugitive published malicious reports targeting only those mass media outlets that receive bribes, as well as the politicians and advertising agencies that deliver these messages, then the evaluation may change.
However, the "fugitives" even attack and destroy good people indiscriminately. This was a good act of terrorism, Rogue man is a cyber terrorist through and through.
\"Understanding so much, I'll ask Alice.\"
"In other words, the 'Fugitives' lifted the seal on Jupiter?"
"Yeah, this is the only way I can think of. No matter how you set the 50-digit password, as long as you crack it or crack it, you can solve it in the blink of an eye."
What's worse is that the other party should enforce strict security and even manipulate the stock prices of large companies, manipulate TV equipment and other systems, and leak information that the mass media wants to hide to the Internet and TV fronts. A 50-numeric password is not important. "
"Then, I thought of something and was shocked." So far, the phenomenon caused by the so-called "Breakthrough Man" has occurred, which means that the "Breakthrough Man" has come to us, or rather, he have come to this world. .
\"Alice-san, I don't think so, but \"The Fugitive\" has come to this world and is cracking it\"
\"I don't want to think about it, but it's possible. As you know, this world is very intrusive and can be accessed from ALo or other VRmmo of medicuboid\"The Fugitive\". It wouldn't be surprising if it came in."
Shino looked serious.
"We came to this world by accident, but the 'Breakers' came here voluntarily."
Alice shook her head.
"I don't know. It's possible that he himself was involved in this world for some reason. I don't know what the purpose is."
"Alice seems to have the same idea as me." The cyberterrorist "Fugitives" who shocked the online world may have invaded Aincrad and are doing bad things to release Jupiter immediately.
While it's unknown what his purpose here is, the Broken Man has the potential to cause further harm to Aincrad.
Before that, I really wanted to find the "Broken Man", but what kind of person was the "Broken Man" and what did he look like?
"Uh-huh"
Just as I was thinking this, a voice that did not belong to anyone suddenly came from the room. The source of the explosion was Jupiter who was still unconscious after being touched by Asuna.
Asuna was shocked to hear Jupiter's voice and shouted to Alice.
\"Teacher Alice, Jupiter!\"
Alice nodded and looked at Jupiter's face. We also moved closer to Jupiter, but at this moment, Alice shouted to us.
"Ubibo, Ubibo!"
Perhaps in response to Alice's voice, Jupiter's almost unchanged eyelids moved, showing us their eyes. ——His eyes are as blue as the sea.
"Yupibo, can you hear me, Yupibo?"
Jupiter slowly moved his gaze, no longer looking at Alice, but at Asuna.
"Good. I thought you wouldn't wake me up."
As she spoke, Asuna reached out to Jupiter's body and slowly raised her upper body.
Jupiter looked around confused, but Alice spoke to him immediately.
"Yupibo, I'm Alice. You got it, Yupibo."
Jupiter turned his face to Alice, but immediately tilted his head.
"Ah, Ellie? Ellie?"
"Yes, yes, Yupibo, you didn't expect us to meet again."
Jupiter tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what Alice was talking about. Seeing this action, Leafa smiled.
"Uh-huh, she's a cute girl."
Shino nodded in response to this statement.
"I don't know how to put it, but he's a boy who really makes women happy."
"This was probably made with that in mind."
"But there's something weird about this Jupiter." Alice is Jupiter's creator, and even though he snuck in during the making and taught Jupiter a lot about himself, Jupiter still keeps tilting his head toward Alice.
——Exactly the same as when Yui first woke up.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
Alice asked, "What?" and looked back at Jupiter. Then, Jupiter opened his mouth slightly.
"who...?"
Upon hearing this, Alice's eyes widened in shock and her mouth was half-opened.
"Oh, hey Yupibo. I'm Alice. Didn't you know?"
Jupiter shook his head.
"I don't know. Who?"
Jupiter's words and actions made everyone in the room speechless as if they were frozen.
\"I originally thought they were somewhat similar, but they are actually the same as when Yui and I were together.\"
"How is this going...?"
"Jupiter seems to have lost his memory.
"Alice turned to face me in surprise."
"You said you lost your memory, do you mean your language function and memory ability were damaged?"
The person involved, Yui, nodded.
\"I think Mr. Jupiter, like me, has accumulated errors and lost language skills and memory. In today's world, mhcp is in a state of making many errors. No one will be surprised if mhhp. \"Like me Alice-san has the ability to heal players and has the same symptoms as me. \"
Alice puts her head in her hands and makes a very sad expression that we've never seen before.
\"Mr. Kayaba, the mhhp you like have become like this! Why on earth\"
A heavy silence filled the room between those who witnessed Alice's actions and the amnesiac Jupiter. I didn't know how to talk to him or deal with Jupiter who seemed to have lost his memory.
But at this moment, Alice turned her head and suddenly grabbed Jupiter's shoulders.
"Hey Yupibo, do you really not remember anything? What is your favorite food, where do you like to go, who do you like to talk to, do you remember anything!?"
\"Oh, hey Alice-san.\"
When Alice approached Jupiter with a sharp sword, Jupiter's expression gradually distorted, and tears flowed from his blue eyes.
"Ah", after everyone realized it, Jupiter let out a loud shout, which surprised everyone.
\"Wait a minute, Teacher Alice, Jupiter was so frightened that he cried!\"
Alice was confused by Lisbeth's voice and let go of Jupiter's shoulder.
\"I, I didn't mean to be Yubibo\"
Alice was also used to treating children, and when I lived there I saw her comforting crying children in church, but that was no longer useful.
Perhaps Jupiter, who had been in contact with him until now, had lost his memory and cried easily, so he was confused and didn't know what to do.
I believe that if Yui becomes like that, I will be confused, or almost everyone who enters here will be confused.
Even Alice, the most reliable person, was troubled because she didn't know how to deal with it. The next moment we were thinking of a solution, Asuna suddenly hugged Jupiter's body, brought him to her chest, and Hugged him. paddy.
"Sorry to shock you, Jupiter. Look, it's okay now. It's okay."
Butt-na whispered and continued to stroke Jupiter's head gently. Jupiter's voice turned into a hiccup and finally stopped.
We didn't expect Asuna to stop crying, so we turned our attention to Asuna. Finally, Lisbeth said to Asuna.
\"Ah, Asuna, you're used to it\"
Until then, Lilan, who had remained silent, sat on my shoulder and made a 'sound'.
\"Asuna has become very popular with the children since she started cooking for them. When he has a break, he will go to Alice's church to interact with the children. In addition"
"also?"
\"Asuna told me that she had always suppressed her desire to live a normal life, get married normally, have children normally, and love him.
"I get it. That's why you actively interact with kids like this. And Jupiter"
Since letting Asuna date Yui, Asuna has become accustomed to interacting with children. Even now, Asuna looked like Jupiter's mother and family.
Alice looked at Asuna in surprise as she completely stopped Jupiter from crying.
\"Asuna you\"
\"This is not like Teacher Alice. If you were normal, you wouldn't treat your children like that, right?\"
"Well, that's right. I was upset and I scared Yupi.
Alice, still confused, called to Jupiter in a low voice.
"Sorry for scaring you, Yupibo."
Jupiter hugged Asuna's chest tightly and remained motionless. It looked like he was rejecting Alice.
Jupiter's chest remained motionless for a long time, and Asuna seemed confused.
"Well, Jupiter. Is that your mother?"
Alice shook her head and covered half of her face with her hands.
\"I think so too, but that kid doesn't know me, and he seems to be afraid of me from the bottom of his heart.\"
With that said, Alice got up from her seat and walked towards the exit. Shino was surprised by her sudden action and shouted to Alice.
\"Yes, Teacher Alice.\"
"If I am around, the child will be scared and you will be a little confused. At the same time, try to ask the child as much as possible to understand the child's situation. After understanding clearly, I will give you the future." Countermeasures. Especially Asuna. So far, that kid seems to like you, so ask Ubibo if you can. \"
Alice waved slightly to Shino and Asuna, then opened the door and left the room. Now, Alice has a very disappointed and sad expression on her face, but I feel like this is the first time I've seen Alice look like this.
Shino, who was being consulted in the real world, also showed a very surprised expression. It was probably the first time she saw Alice showing such an expression today.
\"Teacher Alice, it seems that you are really shocked.\"
Hearing Silica's words, I nodded. Apparently, Shino and I were not the only ones surprised by Alice's condition. Immediately afterwards, Yuuki shouted to Jupiter who was holding Asuna.
"Jupiter, that horrible sister is gone, now everything is fine."
"What a scary sister"
Seeing that Asuna's expression was a little complicated, Jupiter slowly moved his face away from Asuna's chest, looked around with blue eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief. I think he is really afraid of Alice from the bottom of his heart.
"Uh, Jupiter, do you remember anything? Your name is Jupiter, right?"
As if reacting to Asuna's voice, Jupiter turned his head and nodded.
"My name is Jupiter."
\"Yes. You are Jupiter. My name is Asuna.\"
Jupiter tilted his head and moved his mouth.
"Ah?"
\"Asuna. Asuna.\"
"Um?"
"I instinctively stared at Yui." Jupiter's current state reminded him of Yui's appearance when she woke up. At that time, Yui couldn't say my name and Shino's name correctly. However, judging from Jupiter's body and the way he talks, I feel like he is younger than Yui.
"My tongue doesn't seem to move very well."
"Yes. Probably, but I think you've damaged the function of language more than I have."
Shino answered Yui's words.
“Is language function impaired?
\"I immediately made a proposal to Asuna.\"
\"Asuna, don't force me to call you by your name. Just let me call you whatever you want Jupiter to call you.\"
Asuna said "I see" and turned to face Jupiter, who moved his mouth slightly.
\"Ah, that's it.\"
Asuna smiled and stroked Jupiter's head.
“It seems difficult to say his name.
Jupiter lowered his head, as if thinking of something, and said nothing. Ten seconds later, I raised my head and met Asuna's eyes.
"...Mother"
""
"Mother"
"Mom? Me?"
Everyone except Jupiter shut up in surprise. Now, I feel like Jupiter calls Asuna "mother." No, I definitely call it that. Otherwise I wouldn't be so surprised. -us.
\"Eh, mother? Is she Asuna Jupiter's mother?\"
Lisbeth looked at Asuna and Jupiter alternately, and Silica next to her made the same move, her mouth open.
\"Uh-huh. Miss Asuna, do you want to be Jupiter's mother?\"
Leafa and Yuki also turned their attention to Asuna, Jupiter, and Asuna, calling their names.
\"Ah, Asuna-san\"
\"Jove calls Asuna his mother\"
Shino and Yui turned to face me.
\"Kirito, I have a feeling of déjà vu.\"
"I feel the same way. Is this what you call deja vu?"
\"I am Shino and Yui too.
"is that so"
Or rather, a program equipped with advanced artificial intelligence, which has lost its memory due to impaired language function, may also be inclined to believe that the first woman it sees is its mother. When Yui heard such a call, Shino agreed, but what would Asuna do?
\"Asuna, what are you doing?\"
After hearing my question, Asuna looked at me, and then at Jupiter who looked depressed. After a while, she smiled.
"Yes, yes, mom, it's Jupiter!"
At this moment, Jupiter's face suddenly lit up, and he turned into a bright smile.
"Mommy mommy!"
"Ehhhhhh!!!?"
Everyone was surprised at Asuna and Jupiter for a moment. Accept it, this person. Yoko's second-in-command accepted Jupiter's title of "mother."
It seemed I wasn't the only one who thought so, so Lisbeth quickly shouted to Asuna.
\"Hey, Asuna, can you do that?!\"
"Okay. This kid wants to be called that, and that's what he wants to think."
Yuuki said to Asuna with a flustered look on her face.
\"But, are you okay!? Asuna, you are going to be Jupiter's mother!?\"
"Yes.
Shino hugged Yui. There was something akin to impatience on his face.
"Maybe Jupiter isn't as good a girl as Yui!?"
"No child is born good. I will raise her until she becomes a child like Xiao Yu."
\"Asuna, are you serious?\"
Asuna turned to Jupiter and gently stroked his head. Jupiter smiled brightly.
"Generally speaking, children cannot choose their parents. But this child called me 'mom' and treated me like this. Didn't this child voluntarily choose me to be his parent?"
Of course, Jupiter calling Asuna this way proves that he recognizes Asuna as his biological mother and is attached to her. As Asuna said, she chose Asuna to be her mother out of her own free will, and there was nothing wrong with that.
\"That means you\"
"Yes, I will be the parent of this child and I will raise this child."
However, according to Alice, Jupiter had many experiences before losing his memory. If Jupiter regained his memory, what would he think of Asuna?
Even after Yui regained her memory, she called Shino and I "Dad" and "Mom" and always considered us as parents, but since Jupiter is not Yui, the same thing doesn't always happen. And Jupiter is a higher-level program than Yui, even more so.
\"However, I have to ask Alice San in advance what kind of child Jupiter is.
Just as he was about to say this, a slightly high-pitched, weird and cute voice came from the direction of Jupiter. I wondered what was going on and turned my eyes to it. Jupiter showed a slightly unhappy expression and began to touch his belly continuously.
"I'm hungry"
"Yes, you haven't eaten yet, let's have some rice?"
Asuna said this, patted Jupiter's head gently, and then turned to look at me.
\"As for the specific matter, Kirito-san should ask this child again after dinner.\"
"Okay. Okay Jupiter, let's go downstairs."
