He is the CEO of REcto, one of the largest Japanese companies in terms of sales and performance, and owns multiple subsidiaries. He is a celebrity who is even said not to exist. Koichiro is also employed by Recto, where his father is the owner and both father and son work for the same company.
When she went to work, her hairstyle and expression were all carefully groomed like Koichiro's, but now her look was ruined. Shozo, who looked like an ordinary father, showed a calm expression to Asuna.
"Really? In that case, I think I'll go see my grandson."
"Well, it looks like you'll be with your father. Jupiter will be happy for you two to go together."
"Yes, I wish I could bring some souvenirs, but unfortunately it's impossible."
"If you want to buy souvenirs, I will buy them in ALo town. Ah, but I think you already know the people in the town well. It seems that he lives in ALo."
Father and brother said, smiling bitterly at each other. After SAo was cleared and Asuna returned to the real world, the two learned of the existence of Jupiter.
At that time, there was no real Jupiter, so both men only listened with suspicion, but just as Jupiter was resurrected in Svartjalfheim, they encountered the real thing. Both were shocked and moved by Jupiter's appearance and abilities.
After a period of time, the two gradually realized that Jupiter was Asuna's child, Shozo was his grandson, and Koichiro was his nephew. I went to his world and started meeting him.
Jupiter also recognized these two men as his grandfather and uncle respectively, and regarded them as family. If you asked me if we got along well, I would say great.
Jupiter is an ultra-high-performance artificial intelligence, not a human. Would my family accept something like this? This was Asuna's biggest fear before she met them in Jupiter, but it turned out to be unfounded.
At this moment, when I looked at the two of them as if they were really going to meet their grandson and nephew, Koichiro had an expression on his face that seemed to realize something. I looked at him, and his expression became more solemn. He seemed to remember something he didn't want to remember.
\"Asuna. Lord Jupiter was created by Argus.\"
"Huh? Yes. But, that's it."
"So do you know where that programmer was? You said you were talking to the guy who made it."
I also told both of them about Alice, Jupiter's developer and friend.
The story of him being the developer of Jupiter takes place when the two meet the real Jupiter. Immediately moved by Jupiter, the two approached their creator. Asuna only said "I met that person in the game and talked to him," but did not reveal any further details.
When I told him that I was the daughter of President Rector, Alice told me directly. "If your father or brother, Lector's boss, asks, don't tell them about me. And don't reveal anything about Jupiter to Lector. If you can't do that, I will Leave you with Jupiter. I can't let you stay."
Determined to separate from Jupiter, Asuna swallowed these words and did not tell her father or brother about Alice, and begged Lector not to tell him about Jupiter. It took a lot of effort to convince me, but in the end, both my father and brother kept Jupiter a secret that only belonged to the Yuki family.
"That's true, but I've said it before. I can't reveal his name at his request."
\"Can you do something? The person who created Jupiter-kun in my company. No, I want to bring in Jupiter-kun's data. Or I can show off Jupiter-kun to the person who created Jupiter-kun. Tejun.\"I have no choice but to contact you. "
Asuna was surprised when her brother calmly blurted out the words that Alice had forbidden.
"What happened, brother? And father"
When I turned around, Shozo was looking down at me. His expression was as stern as Koichiro's but also clearly regretful.
I thought he would say this right away, but Koichiro spoke first.
"Today, we held a board meeting at Recto headquarters. This meeting discussed what we will develop in the future and how to deal with our products. My father, the president, was also present."
In Asuna's mind, she imagined that Rector's leaders were having a meeting at the same table. Just like when the Blood Pact Knights gathered around the round table in the headquarters and held a strategy meeting with Heathcliff (or Kirito in the middle) as the center. Since Lecter and the Blood Pact Knights are both large companies and large guilds, the meetings should be similar. Koichiro's story continues.
“Multiple executives came up with a lot of ideas, and there were a lot of good ones, including some that surprised me.
I also joined in and made a suggestion. Let’s create a community AI like Jupiter in Recto. Let’s create something like Jupiter at Recto and be a pioneer in spreading community AI…”
Although Asuna is the daughter of the president of a large IT company and has no connection with IT, she knows that AI is currently spreading to all fields of society.
For example, a company develops great AI, or it delivers significant efficiency gains that lead to a huge increase in sales and business performance, or the power of AI saves a small business or a private facility like a local hotel that was on the verge of collapse. . Stories about the emergence of convenient and powerful artificial intelligence appear almost daily on the Internet and on television, and we hear them like ambient sounds.
It can be said that the world is entering an era in which humans and artificial intelligence coexist. As I imagined this situation in the real world, Shozo spoke.
“As president, I also support this proposal. Like humans, they have hearts and emotions, and they grow through being taught various things by humans. Artificial intelligence can heal the hearts of tired or sick humans, befriend them.... ..and coexist with humans. That’s Jupiter. Up there. No other company can create such elaborate artificial intelligence. The same goes for REco.”
"That's why I said let's create something. It's not just something that can process data or make humans work more efficiently. It's something that can grow with people and understand the human mind. "Let's create something that we have Community AI…let’s create an AI and usher in an era where humans and AI truly coexist But there are other executives! "
Community AI has thoughts and emotions like humans, can tire like humans, and learns and grows under the protection of humans. A plan to create artificial intelligence that closely resembles Jupiter. Even Asuna, who knew nothing about the company, could understand how great the company was.
However, when Koichiro and Shozo talked about it, Rector's executives and employees apparently responded with the following.
Artificial intelligence is the ultimate labor force, which knows no death, no fatigue, and does not even need wages. AI cannot be tired, have emotions, or have thoughts.
Artificial intelligence must be an entity loyal to human interests. Artificial intelligence that requires human protection is useless.
If the AI has a heart or emotions, erase them. How much help can artificial intelligence bring to humans without the need for human cultivation? Why does it still need to be cultivated when it has thoughts and emotions? There is no need for our company to spend money to create something like this.
Artificial intelligence with thoughts and emotions is impossible.
The moment Asuna heard the last words, her mind went numb and the fork she was holding fell to the table. I didn't pay any attention to this and could only make a weak sound from my throat.
"Did Jupiter fail?"
\"No, I'm not talking about Jupiter. I didn't mention anything about Jupiter, but that's what everyone says about creating an AI like Jupiter. You can do whatever you want. to do things we can...my offer was rejected and I was accepted just to continue developing artificial intelligence that would become the workforce...my first time speaking to an executive at my own company feel disappointed."
Hearing Koichiro's angry words, a picture immediately emerged in my numb mind.
Jupiter sits alone in the blackness of space. Adults in suits surrounded him and shouted insults at him.
You are a loser. You are of no use.
You are not even a slave. You're not good. He just kept repeating these cruel words to Jupiter. No matter how sad and weeping Jupiter looked, the adults didn't care and cursed him. Jupiter just squatted down without any response.
Eventually, that scene merged with the previous meeting.
The meeting that Koichiro and Shozo attended was presumably held at a round table. Jupiter is in the center of the round table. In the meeting, only two people, Koichiro and Shozo, did not speak ill of Jupiter, and the rest gathered around him to insult him.
None of Rector's executives will acknowledge the existence of Jupiter, believing that the AI is their current slave or something. Asuna could only think so, but strong anger arose in her heart.
"What is that? What is that?"
As the words slipped out of my mouth, Shozo asked me to answer. There was a hint of sadness in his voice.
\"This also surprised me. No one agreed with Koichiro and my plan. However, what the employees said was not wrong.
Artificial intelligence can certainly help humans work. In the extreme, it is the ultimate labor force that requires absolute loyalty and does not require wages. I understand why something like this is popular in today's society. There's nothing wrong with trying to achieve it. It would be no surprise if we were called an anomaly for coming up with the idea of creating a thinking artificial intelligence. "
"However, that's not what we need in our day and age. What we really need in our day and age is an AI like Jupiter. AI that understands and heals humanity. That's what we really need. People don't understand that."
Hearing this, Asuna felt that she understood the meaning of Koichiro's first sentence. Koichiro wanted to show this. We will show ignorant and stubborn executives what the ultra-high-performance AI Jupiter looks like and performs. He wanted the people who had repeatedly insulted Jupiter to lose control.
"So brother, Jupiter."
\"Yes. Asuna, please contact the people who created Jupiter-kun and get their permission to make Jupiter-kun public. If so, please tell them how to make Jupiter-kun. I trust them If they see Mr. Jupiter, they will definitely change their minds in the future. You should be able to understand that what society needs is AI like Mr. Jupiter.
Asuna clenched her fists tightly. I can't forgive it. Jupiter is kind and gentle. Although he is an AI, he can read people's hearts. You can call it a failure or you can call it a failure.
Koichiro is right. Rector's executives were able to view Jupiter as a loser because they had never seen Jupiter in real life. If they could see and interact with Jupiter in real life, I'm sure the Recto employees who used to make fun of Jupiter would give up completely. They have no choice but to admit they were wrong.
Alice had promised not to reveal Jupiter, but I'm sure Alice would agree if she heard the story. After all, she was told that she loved her children very much.
Just when I was about to express the anger in my heart.
"You are the ones who don't understand."
A sharp sound like a razor rang out in the room, and both Asuna and Koichiro fell into silence involuntarily. The person who said this was Asuna's mother, Kyoko Kyoko, who was sitting next to Shozo. She was also the one who created this strict atmosphere.
Although she was tall for a woman - still not as tall as Alice - she was not slim, but had a strong build. The dark brown hair is evenly parted on both sides and reaches shoulder length. The face is neat and wrinkles are almost invisible.
Kyoko, who had the features of someone under forty-nine years old, looked at Asuna and Koichiro with a glass of sherry in one hand. He may not mean to do it, but from the perspective of the person being watched, he just feels like he's being watched.
\"Koichiro and Asuna. No, mainly Asuna. How long are you going to continue like this?\"
Hearing this, Asuna's eyes widened. Koichiro, who had a similar face, spoke first.
\"Mom, what do you mean?\"
\"That's what it means. So does your father. Is it Jupiter? That person is not Asuna's son, nor our grandson, nor Koichiro's nephew. ni-made-ra-re-ta-person- between-mo- do-ki-yo. Please stop doing this shameless imitation of things like this.”
Koichiro and Shozo recognized Jupiter. They are family and they understand us. However, among them, Kyoko Yui never tried to acknowledge the existence of Jupiter. If Kyoko understood, there would be nothing to worry about, but no matter how much Kyoko tried to talk to him, she never showed an attitude of understanding or acknowledgment of Jupiter. This is Asuna's problem too.
Koichiro retorted even faster than Asuna said.
\"Mom, what are you talking about? Are you a human monster? That child is Asuna's child and your mother's grandson, right? Is that what you said to your grandson?\"
\"Don't ask me to say it again. Jupiter is not Asuna's child, nor is he my grandson. He was not Asuna's child in the first place, and he is not a human being.\" He imitates humans. A doll made by humans that does what it does. What's the difference between that and that? "
"That child is not a doll. Unlike other AIs, she has a normal heart and emotions."
"——It just has the ability to imitate the mind and emotions, but it does not mean that it has real minds and emotions. Even if it does, it is just a fake thing. Unless it is equipped with that kind of thing, it is just a fake thing. "It's a matter of playing. It’s no different than the dolls used. That's right. In fact, it's pretty creepy because instead of saying things like a doll, you're saying things yourself. First, you are a giant named Lecter. Although he works in a company, he is too dreamy and too romantic. "
I probably did this to a lot of my classmates as well. After getting used to ignoring all Koichiro's claims, Kyoko turned her attention to Asuna.
\"Also, Asuna, you said you became his mother because of that weird game, but I think it was just because you happened to be in front of him, so he started treating you like his mother. That's the same as Birds are different.\"Imprint. "
Asuna instantly opened up the memories related to Jupiter in her mind. The days of our creation with Jupiter. Many memories came flooding back to me. However, even putting all of this together, there's nothing against Kyoko.
Indeed, Jupiter was not born in my belly, nor was he a child born of me in the pains of labor and delivery. And even if she met Jupiter, it was only by chance that he appeared in front of her, and the reason why she worshiped him and called her mother was because she recognized him for the first time when she woke up. There is nothing wrong with what Jingzi said.
That's not it. Jupiter and I are truly parents and children. Even if Asuna wanted to refute, she couldn't. Kyoko showed a dissatisfied or disappointed expression and continued.
\"Speaking of which, Asuna, you are very unfortunate. In addition to being trapped in the game, there is also a strange existence paying attention to you, calling you your mother, and you are also treated as a weirdo, so “You’re in a school that’s not even a school. "Being forced to go to school with the thought that I'm about to lose the amazing career I've worked so hard to build. It's nothing but a tragedy."
"Strange? I am?"
"Yes, I can't bear to see your current weird state. Even your father does think so. Please wake up and look at the reality. That is not your child."
Asuna was speechless. I have been raised by Kyoko to this day. I kept doing courses I didn't really want to do, and I only had relationships with select friends. Before I knew it, I was following the trajectory set by my mother.
Now that I have deviated from the track my mother set for me, my mother begins to treat me as an alien. Kyoko continued, shocking Asuna.
"The same goes for your school. That place is not suitable for you to go to. There is a place you should go to."
"I'm going to change schools."
"We have to change. You can't call a place like this a school. That's right."
The school Asuna currently attends—the school she attends with many of her friends—was originally built quickly to make up for the study time of the SAo survivors. One look and it was clear that the course content was of low quality, not comparable to the high school my mother and brother attended, and hardly advanced.
And that school is certainly set up so you can learn in a variety of ways, and they make a big deal about being eligible to go to college after graduation, and they also offer personal tutoring. week. There is an obligation to receive it. Most of the questions asked will check for intent to engage in antisocial behavior, and in some cases the person may be asked to undergo medication or be readmitted to hospital. There are also.
"SAo" is a facility that isolates and corrects strange people called survivors. What you said there is not wrong. However, Asuna still didn't want to leave that school and knew she loved it.
A world of extreme conditions known as "SAo". That school was a gathering place for friends and colleagues who fought to the end. There he continued the rest of his high school life and found what he wanted to do.
This was Asuna's thoughts and wishes, but Kyoko wasn't listening to her at all. As if to insist on this point, Kyoko handed Asuna something placed on the edge of the table. This is the tablet device that Kyoko often uses. It contains a summary of the transfer exam and information about your high school.
"What kind of transfer exam is this?"
"Yeah, I forced you to take the entrance exam for the junior year of high school where your mother's friend is on the board. You could have tried again if you had gone to a regular school instead of that one. Wow. And with your Gifted, you can meet the graduation requirements of this credit-based school in your first semester so you can go to college in September.”
Although she spoke too quickly, Asuna was still stunned after hearing all this.
My mother was trying to get me kicked out of my current school and get me back on the track I envisioned. He doesn't care at all about his daughter's wishes. He naturally believes that his daughter has turned into a freak and tries to force her back into the shape he wants.
This is self-righteous and hypocritical behavior. Koichiro seemed to understand this and objected again.
\"Hey, wait a minute, Mom. Are you still going to do that? Asuna's grades are top-notch in that school, and although that high school is about rapids, their courses are also very suitable. This It's more of a better place than what my mom thought was the bottom school. That's it."
"There's nothing like that in the curriculum. That school isn't really a facility to isolate and rehabilitate kids who become weird in games and are at risk of committing crimes in the future. It may be necessary, of course, but I don't think Asuna belongs there. Category One. Asuna is a girl who should go to a more advanced high school or school."
Koichiro cleared his throat, as if to remind Kyoko that what he said was inaccurate. Asuna took over and said to Kyoko.
"I'm in trouble, even if a topic like this pops up. I like my current school. There are a lot of good teachers there, I have a lot of friends, and I can study well, so there's no need to change schools."
"No. You are a member of the Yuki family, and you have wonderful abilities hidden within you. Life is about developing these abilities and using them to your heart's content. In order to achieve this goal, your father and mother will know how you hurt Zheng heart of.
However, not only are you trapped in that game, but you also fall in love with a mysterious figure like Jupiter. If you were a normal person, even your mother would not say such things. You have been given something certain. It is a sin to let it rot without blooming.
You have the qualifications and ability to get into top universities and build a career there. Big companies and politics are where you should go to use your skills. I couldn't give up my higher education for this. You should build a career that everyone can be proud of. "
Kyoko’s words flew towards me like bullets. He said some pretty irrational things and completely ignored Asuna's wishes. Although Shozo should have known this, he just listened to Kyoko quietly without any rebuttal. It seemed like she wanted to say something, but her arguments still couldn't defeat Kyoko. Asuna felt angry inside, even towards her father. Kyoko continued talking as usual.
"Also, the fiancée I chose, Yuya-kun, is also very suitable for you. The son of a local family-run bank is much more stable than a big bank with fierce factional conflicts. It is said that he is a bit lacking in ambition. I understand, But she is an honest and kind girl. If you talk to Yuya-kun, you will like him more than Jupiter. From now on, you will have more chances to meet that girl and eventually you will get married. "
Kyoko put down her sherry glass and glared at Asuna.
"Please contact the people who created Jupiter and ask them to delete Jupiter. If there are difficulties in negotiations, your mother will help you. Jupiter will only be a stumbling block for you in the future, so please understand."
Hearing this, Asuna was speechless. Not only did her mother try to force her into marriage, she also suggested that Jupiter be removed. Although her husband Shozo has said that Jupiter is her grandson, her mother firmly refuses to acknowledge the existence of her grandson.
The image of the round table conference room inside Asuna is awakened again, and Kyoko joins in. The same goes for Kyoko. They are the hateful people who denounce the failure of Jupiter, calmly demand its deletion, and seek to turn artificial intelligence into slaves that faithfully work for humanity.
Asuna felt anger welling up in her chest as soon as she realized this. It was burning rage, but black. It was his biological mother who aroused the anger of the black flame. I admitted it right then and there, gritting my teeth. Koichiro opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.
"Mom, I have been listening to you silently, but let's not do this again. Isn't this enough for me? My father and I entered the same company and have reached the senior management. I\"Through the company Contributing to society, I have made a contribution, and that is enough. Asuna doesn't have to do anything like me. Let Asuna do the rest as she likes. \"
Koichiro who complained like this has deep feelings for Asuna.
Koichiro was also raised strictly as the eldest son of the Yuki family, living along the track set by his father and mother. Like Asuna, she attended a school approved by her parents, made friends, and studied hard. Finding a job in Rector was part of that, and he had been pursuing the elite path since birth.
Asuna thought that Koichiro would become extremely elite like his mother, but it turned out to be exactly the opposite.
Koichiro didn't become like his mother. On the contrary, since he started working for Rector, he has become softer and softer, as if a burden has been lifted from him, and he often quarrels with the strict Kyoko.
Koichiro embarked on the path to becoming an elite, but he has been enduring the hardships that come with it. Therefore, Koichiro had a feeling that he did not want Asuna to experience the bitterness that he experienced. Because of this, Koichiro does not interfere in Asuna's career, and he also objects to Kyoko's frequent interference in Asuna's career.
Asuna realized this after returning from "SAo", and from then on, Asuna regarded Koichiro as an ally. Kyoko even responded to Koichiro with an argument.
\"No, Koichiro. This is an issue related to Asuna's life. I say this for Asuna's sake. If you also care about Asuna, please actively participate in this discussion. We should cooperate. My sister Your career is also very important.\"
\"Why is this? Asuna's career is Asuna's career. Isn't this something that Asuna should decide for herself? Or do you still have any dissatisfaction with me? I'm here, I've come a long way This is the step!\"
\"I'm talking about Asuna, that's enough for you.\"
\"Then why do you still need Asuna!\"
"Hey, why don't you two stop!"
An annoyed Shozo tries to stop them, but Asuna no longer cares about the three of them. What's more, I have lost the desire to come here, and I can't bear to argue with my mother. I put the half-eaten food aside, put down my knife and fork, and stood up from the table. Shozo and Koichiro reacted in surprise, and Kyoko almost didn't react. Fortunately, the three of them were silent, and Asuna whispered to Kyoko.
"Let me think about the transfer and the engagement."
"The deadline is next week. Fill in the necessary information and print three copies and put them on the desk in the study. Also, how to delete Jupiter."
Asuna tried to leave the room without saying anything, but stopped midway. I felt something rise from my chest, and in the blink of an eye, it rose to my lips and turned into words.
"Mom, you have no regrets about anything. The 'takeaway man' who turned her hated Jupiter into a murderous weapon and destroyed this society is the Sugou Nobuyuki chosen by mother. Hehe."
"Stop talking about this."
"And my mother was ashamed of her late grandfather and grandmother. She was so obsessed with the fact that she was just a farmer. Who behaved strangely?"
The next moment, Kyoko seemed to be shouting at her, but Asuna ignored it and returned to her room.
Sensors detect the arrival of the room owner and activate the room's lights and air conditioning. The sound was harsh to my ears.
I walked into the room, walked to the bed, and lay down. There was a buzzing sound, but no dust flew.
Asuna knelt down and gritted her teeth. The anger in my chest grew darker. There seemed to be a black flame roaring inside my body, giving me the illusion that it was burning.
Jupiter is a loser.
Your child is a human freak.
Your child is a loser.
Your child is not a child, so delete it.
The scene just now has not disappeared, and the voice has been echoing in my mind and I can't stop it. My chest felt so full of dark emotions that it even ached. Both mother and Lector cursed Jupiter, calling him a loser.
no one knows. Jupiter. Not knowing anything about Jupiter, the people of Lecto and my mother had no hesitation in saying such things. Anyone who sees Jupiter and the abilities he possesses will realize that what he is saying is wrong. Even my mother would be shocked and admit her mistake.
Jupiter is not a loser, nor is he a human freak.
What should I do to prove this?
What else can I do?
what do I have?
Asuna immediately recovered from her crouching position and picked up the smartphone placed beside the bed.
I did the remaining one method.
\"Isn't this Asuna?\"What's the matter with you calling me?
\"Teacher Alice, I have something to ask you. The main area of \"Origin of Sword\" is a corner of the residential area of \"City of Origin\".
After Asuna finished eating with her family, she contacted someone.
One of the former Argus staff members who created Jupiter, Lilan, Yui, and Strea, also appears in stories about his father and brothers. I am Airi Serizawa, a woman who uses the avatar name Alice, and people often call her by this name.
Alice has been Asuna's benefactor since "SAo". He taught me the same thing about Jupiter's properties, and how to live with Jupiter. Ultimately, he used commands only he could wield to clone Jupiter and protect it from the evil hands of Sugo.
Even after SAo was cleared, Asuna and Alice's relationship continued, as they challenged ALo's strategies and negotiated with each other.
Alice's phone number is already registered on Asuna's smartphone. So, if I want to call, I can, but Airi is often too busy with work to answer the phone, and even if I try, I often can't get through.
As such, Asuna usually wouldn't ask Alice for advice, but that wasn't the case this time, so she dialed Alice's number. Then, out of the blue, Alice answered the phone.
At that time, Alice said she had just finished her work, but Asuna immediately asked Alice to come SA:o. Perhaps Alice sensed something over the phone, and she agreed with a slightly serious tone.
After a brief phone call with Alice, Asuna puts the Amusphere on her head and sneaks into "SA:o" where she can meet Alice\/Alice. I designated a meeting point near my home in the residential area of "City of Origin" and headed there.
Residential square illuminated by orange street lights. Alice was waiting for Asuna there. The clothes he is equipped with are combat uniforms on the court, similar to an ordinary white coat. As soon as Alice recognized Asuna, who was also wearing a white battle suit, she called out to her.
"This is unusual, Asuna. It was you who contacted me, not Shino and Kirito."
\"Teacher Alice, is the time available? I think you have work today.\"
"Of course you are, but it's amazing that you did it on time this time and contacted me at the right time."
"There is something I would like to discuss with Professor Alice."
Alice didn't miss a word, although she said it in a low voice that surprised even herself. After staring at Asuna for a while, his expression tightened slightly.
\"It seems like something troublesome happened. That's why you need me.\"
"I bought a house in front of me, and I'll talk to you there."
After hearing Alice's answer "Okay", Asuna walked towards her home under the leadership of Alice. The place where Alice and I met was a small square in the corner of a residential area. From there it was about a three-minute walk down a not-so-complicated alley to Asuna's house, so I didn't talk to Alice as I walked.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Alice said things like "The house you bought is really nice" and "It must have cost a lot of money", but these thoughts were deeply imprinted in Asuna's mind. . Never arrived.
There was no point in telling Asuna what she thought now - Alice seemed to understand this and remained silent as I led her into the house, the lights turning on of their own accord. The room had been empty until Asuna and Alice arrived, and Jupiter, who usually used it, seemed to have gone out.
Asuna invited Alice into the living room, whose interior was somewhat similar to the house she had lived in during SAo, and closed the door.
The kitchen, dining room, and living room are connected into one large room, with sofas and tables in the living room. This is a sight that can be seen in any home. Although inside, Alice reacts the same way she does when she returns home, especially when she sees the furniture arranged in a disorderly manner. Even if Asuna put it in her ears, it wouldn't reach the bottom of her head.
Alice realized that he was actually talking to herself and asked, "Can I sit down?" Asuna nodded and Alice sat down on the nearby sofa. They sit across the table from each other, creating a structure reminiscent of counseling or counselling.
It is said that Sinon and Kirito often receive consultations and interviews in this way from Alice, a former psychiatrist who created this structure with someone other than the two. It was in these situations that he showed his true potential.
However, Alice said nothing. He stared at Asuna intently, as if waiting for something. What's on your face? Or do you have anything to worry about?
Just when Asuna was about to speak, Alice finally spoke.
\"I see. Asuna, something special seems to have happened this time.\"
"?"
"When you invite guests to your home or your room, you usually treat them to tea, right? But today, you're not going to do that. Something happened to you that made you stop doing what you normally do. matter."
Asuna was shocked when she heard this. Indeed, in the past, when I invited friends or guests to my home or room, I decided to serve them tea. Perhaps because I prioritized what I wanted to say to Alice, the thought completely slipped from my consciousness.
"Sorry. I'll take it out now—"
Just as I was about to open the window, my hand stopped. Alice reached out and took my hand. Alice shook her head, and Asuna was a little surprised because it happened so suddenly.
"I don't need tea today. I think you have something to say now. Would you mind telling me?"
After hearing this news, Asuna stopped trying to summon the window. As soon as Alice let go of my arm, I put my hand on my knee, held it tightly, and began to speak, as if to give vent to the black rage in my chest.
What happened to his family, what his mother said to him, and what Lector thought of Jupiter, it's all very detailed.
Sure enough, he used to be a psychiatrist, so he was probably used to hearing stories. Alice silently listened to Asuna's story from the beginning. After Asuna finished the last sentence, she sighed deeply, and even supported her jaw.
"Failure, after all, you are a person, you want to be criticized, criticized, and criticize how to criticize it."
"It's terrible. Everyone treats Jupiter as losers and even Lilan said they are losers!"
"I can't do it, hey"
After speaking, Alice sighed again, but Asuna was a little surprised by Alice's expression.
Although Alice said so much, her face had almost no change. I should be more angry and sorry for this situation, but he was expressionless.
It's as if he didn't care about what others said. Just when Assna couldn't see what happened, Alice finally opened her mouth and turned her red brown eyes to Asuna.
"I heard Lilan say, you are not very close to your mother, but it seems that they have not yet known."
"I think we can't open our hearts to each other."
"It turns out. And your mother is a person who does not agree with Jupiter. And your mother is also regarded as the loser like the Laker?"
Asuna could only nod. The anger of the anger that regarded Jupites as the loser was still burning in his chest. I want to let it disappear, but my anger is greater than this. Looking at such Asna, Alice muttered even more.
"So you come here to ask for my consent? Do you want to show off Jupiter for Laketo?"
"If this happens, I think no one can treat Jupiter as a failure. No company can create artificial intelligence like Jupiter created by Professor Alice. Even if it is LeCT, if he sees the real Jupiter . Even my grandmother "
"...Well..."
Alice looked at Asuna with some strange eyes. When I tried to make a look of eyes, I felt a strange feeling, and I couldn't see her. This is something sometimes appeared in \ "SAO \". Alice opened his mouth and continued to look at him.
\ "Are you frustrated, Assina? People have been saying that Judquat is a loser, a loser. \"
Asuna raised her head and stood up at the same time. The anger in the chest suddenly rushed to the lips and turned into words.
\ "Of course! When your child is called failure or the like, no parent will not feel frustrated!! In the final analysis, Jaqualt was created by Professor Alice? disappointed! ? "
Asuna didn't notice that her cry was too loud, as if the whole house was echoed. I couldn't help but want to talk about it. Unconsciously, the anger of Alice was mixed in the shouting, but Alice had no response when he heard this.
The target Alice stared at Asuna's eyes intently. He said nothing.
Do you plan to keep silent? Just when Assna wanted to say more anger, Alice sighed long and lowered her head. As if to relax his shoulders, he stretched his elbows on his knees and opened his mouth.
\ "Ah, yeah, it's really frustrating. \"
"!"
"Because those people are talking about it, I have nothing to say."
\"!?\"
Asuna was surprised again. Alice raised her head again, and saw her reflection in Asuna's surprised eyes.
"What Lilan Mattel said was true, and the Lakers and your mother said very well.
Those children are all losers, so we made Yi Yi, Strea and they implemented them. Originally, if it was not for me and my husband, "MHHP" should be deleted as a waste. . Mao field. Jupiter's creation also has a clear purpose, but in the end it failed to achieve this goal. It is not wrong to say that Jupiter is a failure, a failure. "
Alice continued to spit one by one. I think her appearance is somewhat similar to the mother I just talked.
\ "Also, Yasna, do you think about it. Although Jupiter is MHHP, has he cured people? Have you ever seen such a thing? No? And, the child collapsed. Can't cure. I hope to be a "messenger 'like Lilan, fighting like Strea, or with advanced information processing ability like Jie. But that girl can do anything Can't do it either. "
Asuna couldn't refute anything. Alice said that I have an illusion, what I do is like a spear piercing my chest.
Jupiter is really powerless. No one has ever tried to become a dragon like Lilan, fighting with swords like Sterea, and quickly analyzing and processing information like Yui. Although she and Lilan are the same type, she is a human. The healing of the mind and spirit is impossible. What his sister and sister could do, but Jupiter could not do it.
Alice continued.
"To be honest, Jupiter is too ugly now. If there is such a thing, it is something like the Su Dog of the Dog of you who has something to do with you. \"middle. I think its existence has more meaning and can do the right thing. "
\ "Emperor Dragon Zeus \". Hearing this name, Asuna's eyes widened.
I won't forget it either. Sugan Township stretched out and kidnapped his mind, destroyed his mind, and was born with various monsters to be born with various monsters. A tragedy let him end his life with his sword. Jupiter, the emperor, the emperor, was better -I couldn't believe Alice's words.
\ "Also Asa. Although your mother calls Jupiter a puppet and human creature, I can't deny this. Assina, do you know Cartesian?"
Yasuna didn't know the name.
Henescie Carter. He is a philosopher and mathematician born in France. It is said to be the founder of rationalist philosophy, making him one of the most important philosophers in history. Asuna couldn't help but mention the most famous thing left by Cartes.
"Because I think, I am"
"Yes. Descartes was later passed on to be a great man, but he seemed to be unable to distinguish between humans and machines, creatures, and lifeless objects. After his beloved daughter died of illness, he created a beloved like his beloved after he was sick. The daughter of her daughter named her Francin and loved her.
But think about it. Although she is not my daughter -in -law, she is exactly the same as my daughter -in -law, and she also talks to a cloth doll from the appearance. Isn't she very abnormal? "
Sure enough, Asuna couldn't refute anything. Different pictures appeared in my mind. An adult named an ordinary doll, talking to it, and love it. It's hard to say that this is not an abnormal phenomenon. Alice seemed to be aware of this and said.
"In other words, the Descartes of that year are still you now. The people around you only see you love a creature like a Tung human beings and name it Jupiter. So creepy but Jupiter is still a broken artificial intelligence, and nothing can be done without your protection.
Please post similar content. Lexito and other companies may laugh at it and label to label Jupiter. And you, this mother, will also be criticized and accused as "an abnormal, stupid woman raised a failed AI".
Asuna clenched his fist tightly. That picture appeared again in my mind.
I sat next to Jupiter. Adults yell at them.
This is a failure for parents and children.
This is an abnormal woman who loves failure.
Such words are constantly appearing in my mind, and I can't stop. At present, everything is just imagined, but if Jupiter announced to the district, this will become a reality. I cannot forgive this.
The anger in my chest is getting stronger. Feeling a black flame in his chest was burning. I thought I would stop if I spoke to Alice, but the result was exactly the opposite. Asuna didn't lift her head, and turned her eyes to Alice.
At the time, Alice was looking at the corridor, but she seemed to notice Yasna's gaze, and she immediately took back her attention.
"This is why people who created it are also criticized. I am a stupid scientist who has created failure and failure. This is why I don’t want to declare Jupiter all over the world. This is what I promised you. This is what I promised to you. The reason, I hope you can understand. "
Jupiter is the best artificial intelligence in history. But it is said that it failed due to lack of too many parts. Whether it is to cultivate its Alice, or Eris who created it, it has been insulted and criticized. That's why Alice told them not to disclose Jupiter and Lan.
After understanding the reason for the promise, Assina was very satisfied, but even so, her anger began to fade. As if noticing this, Alice said again.
"However, when the Reyko said to you, you must feel sad. How can you persuade the Reyko and your mother? How can you stay away from the voice of criticism?. I tell you what I can think of. I can think of what I can think of everything."
""
"If you don't want to let Judquat call the loser, you need to cultivate him as a AI that is stronger and smarter than anyone. Fan. "And someone took care of him. "You don't need to be burned, it is okay to stay quietly. In fact, a person can silently do a lot of things, not only local companies, but also Japanese government agencies and notifications from the US Pentagon. To stop this situation, it can solve the problem that it is difficult for college students in super prestigious universities to explain after another, and no matter what kind of monsters encounter, I can fight calmly and win. "
I was surprised by what Alice said. Indeed, Jupiter may be able to do such a thing, but I want to know if Jupiter can do so far, because her heart can be damaged, and she cannot do what she should do.
No, if you don't go so far, it will not work. If Jupiter was not so powerful, he could not announce to Rex, nor could he convince his mother. As if to encourage Asuna, Alice looked away from the corridor and shouted to Asuna.
"At present, Jupiter is still capable of listening to what you say. Moreover, that child has a self -repair function, as long as you raise him well, he will repair himself. She can" do it as I said. She really hopes to help you, her mother, and she must be dissatisfied with her current appearance. If you think about her. The answer should appear naturally. "
In the long run, Jupiter will not be accepted by my mother, and my mother will continue to treat me as an abnormal person. In the worst case, she will find a way to drive Jupiter out of my life. More importantly, I am convinced that the Lexit and my mother will never stop criticizing Jupiter and see him as the loser.
As parents and children, what should we do to make them recognize?
Before I concluded this conclusion, Alice stood up. There is a window on hand.
"You are the child's mother. Don't forget, you have the responsibility to raise that child well. Raise her in a way that will not make her feel failed."
\ "Mr. Alice, where are you going? \"
\ "Shi Nai sent me a message. It seems that she knew it based on whether I logged in. If Shi Nai called me, I had to leave. Sorry, please forgive me." "Now I have been. It has been some time since I received the news about the latest news. I am glad to hear this news, but what about you? "
\ "I am glad that Teacher Alice listened to me. I feel that I start to understand what I need to do. \"
"That's it. I am also very happy. I may not be able to log in again for a while, but next time I can log in, please let me see the Jupiter who grows up."
Alice smiled slightly and left home under the sending of Asuna. Alice's existence seemed to be disappearing, and soon she disappeared far away and could no longer be detected.
Asuna stood up slowly and walked out of the corridor. After all, Jupiter is considered a failure, and it is something that any company or individual will criticize.
Now I can help the people who can help Jupiter. I have to say this. If I explain it properly, I believe that Jupiter understands. Jupiter's mother is herself, and Jupiter was not an ignorant child.
Thinking of this, Asuna immediately opened the window and started a model of searching for other players. Asa was surprised while trying to find the whereabouts of Jupiter. Jupiter is already here. Obviously, before I realized, he returned to this house and went upstairs. Here, no one will listen to me, and Jupiter will listen to me calmly. It's a good time to talk about the future.
Yasna closed the window and stepped on the stairs. The light of the corridor is also very good. Don't worry that you can't see the scaffolding in the darkness, you can rest assured. Climbing to the top step, I immediately went to the door of the bedroom. I can feel the existence of a player from it. It seems that Jupiter finally came.
It is now more than 20 o'clock, and it hasn't been to sleep in Jupiter. Now it's time to talk. Asuna thought, he put his hand on the door handle and opened the door.
"Jupiter"
As she said the name and looked at the room, Asuna felt a little surprised again. In fact, in the bedroom of Jupiter's room, a bed was placed against the wall, and a table and chair were placed next to it, but a man with long silver -white hair was sitting on the chair. The hairstyle was similar to Asuna. It is characterized by a boy wearing a white hoodie.
Asuna's child, the person I was going to talk to, Jupitet sat at the table and operated a hollow window. More importantly, he seems to be looking at all kinds of information, showing some of them. Asuna was surprised to find that it was unimaginable for ordinary Jupiter.
"Jupiter?"
When I called him again, Jupiter turned around and showed me his blue eyes. When she saw her mother's face in the mirror, she looked very happy.
"Mom, I'm home."
"Ah, yes. Welcome to come back. By the way, Jupiter, what are you doing?"
"I'm studying. I just want to solve a mathematical equation."
I heard what I said from Jupiter's mouth, and I crooked my head. I don't think Jupiter will try to do such a thing alone. Why would he do such a thing?
"Why did you do that?"
Jupiter's gaze slightly moved away from Asuna. Just look down.
"You know, Cassan. I want to become stronger. I want to become smarter."
"Be stronger and smarter?"
\ "Yeah. Sister and Streya are very powerful, and Yi Yi is very smart. They can do more than me, and they have done a lot of things that look more interesting than me. So I think. If you. Become strong as NEE-SAN and Stream. If I become as smart as Jie, I believe I can do more things and enjoy more fun. The most important thing is that I will be able to help you and others.
