Although they have nothing to do with Lilan and the others, Lilan and the others also say that it is not good for them to eat alone and exclude the Prime Minister, so they try to eat together as much as possible. Therefore, the food Rilan and his friends eat is almost the same as the Prime Minister eats.
After Sinon logged in today, the Prime Minister asked her to treat him to something to eat. Shino didn't have any special reason to refuse, so she asked the two of them to go shopping.
Shino greeted the two people who had just finished shopping and confirmed what they had bought. Most of the contents are fish, meat, vegetables, and beverage ingredients, which can be purchased in the 'City of Origin', but if you look carefully, you will find that there are some things that cannot be purchased in the 'City of Origin'—— Mainly monsters from the Great Forest of Alderob. Fallen materials are also mixed in. This is probably something that Strea picked up while out in the wild. Or, the premier may have acquired it but doesn't know how to use it.
Anyway, with such a large portion, it should be enough to satisfy everyone except Kirito and me.
"Thank you both. I'll do this today."
\"Shino, what are you going to eat tonight?\"
"Even if you say so, we can still make a lot of things. Now please be ready and wait."
After Sinon made a light-hearted comment about the first performance, she turned her attention to the second floor. It's not just the girls who need to provide food. Among them is Asuna's son Jupiter, who is actually imprisoned in the house.
According to what Lilan and the others told me, Jupiter often eats alone recently, and he also spends most of his time studying in the online world. It is said that he devoted all his time to training for combat in this world's realm. Therefore, Shino has barely seen or spoken to Jupiter recently.
She is definitely an overachieving student who is obsessed with studying, but I think that is not a good thing for her in the long term, and most importantly, it is better to eat together. Now that she has family and friends, Shino's feelings are very strong, and she can't help but worry about Jupiter who is alone.
It looks like Jupiter is still learning in the online world, but here's one thing that should be done. Sinon looked back at Lilan.
"Before that, Lilan, regarding Jupiter, that kid is still on the Internet, right? I wonder if there is any way to bring him back or something. We have to feed him well."
\"It would be great if we could bring him back. He hasn't eaten anything delicious recently, so I think he will be very satisfied with Shino's cooking skills.\"
"Really? So please bring Jupiter back as soon as possible. Learning is important, but time with everyone is also important."
Lilan said "I understand", unfolded the window and holographic keyboard, and began to operate. Sinon, who was responsible for contacting Jupiter, went to the kitchen and reconfirmed the ingredients purchased by Strea and Premier. Open the window, confirm the dish you want to make, and start cooking.
As I started to heat the ingredients, I turned to the living room and saw my daughters had prepared the dishes and were waiting for the food to be served. Premiere is also mixed in, but strangely it doesn't feel out of place.
First of all, the premiere had an odd sense of déjà vu. Although I don't know what it is, I have seen the premier feature somewhere. Maybe this will help, even if premier is added to Yui, Strea and Relan, it won't feel out of place. It's like Premier is also a member of Lelan and the other "mhhp" and "mhcp" families.
From now on, Jupiter will be added to this group. With all the AI stepping on it, it's sure to be a lively dinner. She would also like to participate if possible, but in the real world Shino and Kirito have already finished their meals. Somehow I felt bad about not being able to have dinner with these girls.
While I was thinking about this, I continued cooking when Lilan stopped me again. The window he had used had closed, proving that Jupiter's recall was complete.
"I have now been contacted by Jupiter and he should be back on the second floor of the house soon."
\"So, Kirito, can you go to Jupiter? If you didn't ask, I don't think he would have come this far.\"
\"I understand. Jupiter must be craving for the food prepared by Sinon, and he is probably hungry too. I'll go pick him up.\"
After saying that, Kirito stood up and left the living room. Almost as soon as Kirito closed the door, the food he was making began to cook, and an alluring aroma began to fill the living room.
Just as Shino said, Kirito was heading to the second floor of the house.
Since it was already around eight o'clock, the darkness coming through the windows was dimly mixed with city lights, and the lights on the ceiling seemed to complement this, illuminating the corridor.
""
Whenever Kirito goes upstairs step by step, he will think of the house on the 22nd floor of SAo. The basic structure of Asuna's house is not much different from the surrounding houses, but the atmosphere inside is a bit like the internal atmosphere of the wooden house where they live.
However, if you look at the walls and feet, you will notice that their texture and shape are different from those in the log house, so you can reconfirm that the house is different.
After all, this is Asuna's home, not theirs. The whereabouts of the house they lived in is now unknown, but there is no doubt that it is in this world. Just as I was recalling the conversation I had just had with Shino, there was a heavy banging sound in my ears, and at the same time, I received a strong impact on my forehead, giving me an uncomfortable feeling similar to pain.
Before I knew it, I had climbed the stairs and arrived at the bedroom door. Maybe I was too lost in thought. I had a distinct sense of someone's presence in the room. Jupiter seemed to be coming back, just like Lelan had told him.
"Jove, come in."
After knocking twice, Kirito opened the bedroom door. Immediately afterwards, I jumped into a room whose decoration was almost identical to the rooms and corridors on the first floor. This is a plain room with white stone walls and hardwood floors. There is a bed and a simple table and chairs placed against the back wall. It looks like it has been moved to a new home.
Sitting on the chair inside was a young man with long silver-white hair that was almost exactly the same as Asuna, and wearing a unique white outfit. This is Jupiter, the owner of this room and the one who keeps it with the house.
"Jupiter, are you back?"
Jupiter didn't answer. You can see multiple windows expanded at hand. Although I couldn't confirm the content, I knew he was operating a holographic keyboard.
We could hear almost the same input sound as when using it, but with extraordinary speed and frequency. It seemed like he was really into it. Since he is so focused on studying, maybe he shouldn't be disturbed, right? Kirito hesitated for a moment whether to call him, but quickly regained his composure.
No matter how focused you are on studying, you can't neglect food, and Shino also cooks for Jupiter. Most importantly, she wanted all her sisters, including her eldest son, to eat together.
Kirito quietly approached Jupiter and called him again.
"Jupiter, dinner is ready. Let's go to the first floor."
Again Jupiter made no reply. If you look closely, you can see a thin white rope in her hair. It appears to be launching an app for listening to music in games and using it as a headphone-shaped object. Understanding the reason for Jupiter's unresponsiveness, Kirito walked up to Jupiter and tried not to make a sound.
Suddenly he thrust his hand between Jupiter's face and the window.
\"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!?\"
The next moment, Jupiter was surprised to hear a loud voice. Perhaps the reaction was so strong that the chair rattled along with Jupiter. Jupiter reacted as expected, and I almost laughed out loud. Jupiter pulled out the earphone-shaped object plugged into his ears and turned his face to Kirito.
\"Xiao, Brother Kirito, what are you doing?\"
"You wouldn't notice if I didn't. You've been calling me for a while."
"Yeah, I didn't hear it at all."
“If you cover your ears with music, you can’t hear it.”
He said with a wry smile, but Jupiter showed no sign of smiling. Jupiter was the kind of kid who would laugh normally if something happened to him, but he didn't. At this moment, Kirito felt something was wrong, but before he could speak, Jupiter spoke.
\"Brother Kirito, what do you need?\"
"Oh, I want you to come down, everyone is waiting for you."
"Everyone? Why me?"
"Because it's time to eat. I've been waiting for everyone to eat together. Lilan called me back, right?"
After Jupiter made a gesture as if he had remembered something, he looked as if he had caught something. He must have understood the message then, because Lelan said he had recalled Jupiter. This is about Relan, who sometimes tries to make things as simple as possible, and who might have just added a word to his email to Jupiter: "Please come back."
\"So that's it? That's it.\"
"Is that a reason? What are you talking about, Jupiter? We're all going to have dinner. You're probably hungry too."
Jupiter lowered his head to hide his face. After not speaking for a long time, he shook his head.
"In that case, I don't have to, I'll go back."
\"Hey, this is not true. Shino took the trouble to make it, and everyone is waiting for it.\"
"I don't need it, I don't need it, just say you don't need it for me."
Kirito couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the displeased sounds and words coming out of Jupiter's mouth. Jupiter almost never invited me to dinner with his family, and he never said such a thing. Do I learn some strange knowledge every time I study? Kirito tried to put his hand on Jupiter's shoulder, not wanting to be noticed.
"Jupiter, you-"
"do not bother me!!"
Jupiter suddenly shouted and threw away Kirito's hand. There was a dry cracking sound, and Kirito's outstretched hand was pulled in the direction of Hou Tian.
Is Jupiter waving to you? For a moment, Kirito completely forgot what happened and was stunned. Jupiter shook his head a few times, then opened his mouth.
"I want to be strong! I want to be smart! I have to be!! So get out of my way!! Get out of my way!!"
The shouting was so loud that I seemed to be flown all the way to the first floor. I can do so much on my own, but Jupiter, who is much smaller than me, is launching it. And the content of this was unimaginable to Jupiter, who rejected everything he normally wanted. I don't know if the Jupiter here is the Jupiter I know.
"!"
Kirito couldn't believe everything Jupiter said or did, and could only stare at him blankly. Finally, Jupiter turned his back on Kirito, opened the window, and operated. Soon, something like a hole appeared in the space in front of me. Jupiter stared at the hole with his eyes and said calmly.
\"Please don't get in my way.\"
"Jupiter!"
With that, Jupiter jumped into a hole that emitted a different light than when he passed through the portal. Just before Kirito reached out his hand, he called to her, but before his fingers could touch it, the hole closed.
Silence returned to the room. The entire house is soundproofed so you won't hear any street noise. Kirito could only stand there.
\"Yuhi Teru?\"
Jupiter wasn't the kind of kid to say that. He never refuses to do something that makes him happy, and he never yells at the other person.
A kind-hearted boy who cares about his mother. It was the statue of Jupiter inside Kirito, but now it was rattling and falling apart. Question after question popped up in my head.
Jupiter seems to be learning, becoming stronger and smarter, but it also seems like he's trying to go somewhere sinister. I felt like I was being driven into action by some strong and overwhelming impulse.
Has Jupiter become different from the Jupiter I know?
What's happening to Jupiter now?
Kirito stood blankly in the room where Jupiter left.
This was the second night after Asuna went to the United States to attend an event.
Sinon was on the field with Kirito, Stella, and Lilan. The current location is in a cave near the deepest part of the Great Forest of Alderob. It is a dark land made of rock walls and floors, like a limestone cave, with no outside light coming in.
It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see anything when you looked inside. However, it is not completely dark, because there are mysterious glowing slime molds growing everywhere in the cave, so it is not completely without light, so there is no problem in conquering the cave.
The things inside Yuiichi are some weird tentacles, with mouth-like tips around the eyes, and some ominous-looking humanoid monsters with weapons.
By confirming that they attack in large numbers when faced with their enemies, they let us know that this is close to the deepest part of the realm known as the Great Forest of Aldrobe.
If there was a pass into the Dark Lands, maybe I could avoid the fight, but there's no such thing in this game. In the end, a battle was inevitable, and everyone wielded their own weapons to repel the incoming demonic monsters.
Exploration intertwined with combat, movement, and gathering. While I was strategizing as usual, Kirito, the de facto leader of the team, spoke up.
\"Tonight, right? Asuna is coming back.\"
Sinon nodded to Kirito who called her.
The robot competition Asuna is participating in seems to have ended yesterday, and Asuna will return to Japan soon.
I heard from No. 7, who lives in the United States, that the time in the United States and Japan are both ahead, and the time difference is 16 hours.
If it's evening in Japan, it's the morning before in the United States. After experiencing incredible jet lag, Asuna returns home.
Anyone who has moved overseas or frequently traveled abroad probably knows this, but Shino has never flown overseas, so the jet lag makes sense, and I don't quite understand the feeling. What's it like to cross jet lag? Ask Asuna when I get back.
Thinking this, Sinon said to Kirito.
"I haven't heard about the specifics, but it seems like they bought a lot of souvenirs. I don't know what kind of souvenirs they brought from the United States."
"I'd rather talk about souvenirs than this. I wonder what kind of robots were present at the event. American stories are rarely reported in Japan."
Kirito hasn't talked about the robot event Asuna participated in for two days. The event has ended, and they are still talking like this. When Asuna comes back, they will probably continue to explore the story with their eyes shining.
Shino smiled bitterly, she could easily imagine what happened at that time, but at this moment, Lilan spoke.
"Speaking of which, is there such a thing as a high-performance humanoid robot? I'd like to hear about any that can rival our bodies?"
"If we have robots, we can go out into the real world, and I'm looking forward to that."
Straya looks exactly like Lilan.
The reason why Asuna participated in this event was to see if there were any high-performance humanoid robots. If a company can create a high-performance humanoid robot, it will become Jupiter's main body and Yui's main body in the near future.
Achieve the day when Yui and her friends can live in the real world. It was obvious that the three of them were looking forward to it, and Shino was actually looking forward to Asuna's souvenir story.
However, on the other hand, Shino also had concerns about Asuna. This is about Jupiter.
Jupiter suddenly begins studying and training for combat, with the goal of becoming stronger and smarter. There is no need to worry about this as it is like a "mhhp" instinct, but Jupiter is surprisingly adamant about it.
As if becoming stronger and wiser was his mission.
The same goes for eating. Jupiter not only liked the food cooked by Asuna, but also liked the food cooked by Shino, but in the past two days, Jupiter did not try to eat even if she cooked for him.
I even tried dividing the food I cooked into small portions and keeping them in my bedroom just in case, but they were never touched and they all disappeared after serving time.
Jupiter, who had eaten so much food and said it was delicious, ate nothing at all. Even if I ask them, they just reply that they don't need it, but they won't tell me anything specific.
Two days had passed and Shino hadn't been able to get any information from Jupiter about why he would do such a thing, and they hadn't been able to say much to him in the first place.
I wonder if Asuna understands this about Jupiter?
I want to ask Asuna when she comes back. Sinon couldn't stop talking about it and shouted to Lilan.
"Hey Lelan, did anything happen when we were at school about Jupiter?"
"Huh? Nothing special. I sneaked into the network as usual and did repeated combat training when I came back."
“That’s really what it’s all about.”
"What do you mean?"
Faced with Lilan's inquiry, Sinon told the question she had thought of beforehand.
"I feel like Jupiter is going to get caught up in it somehow. Something happened to that kid. No, something must have happened."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't really explain it... Anyway, I feel like there's something in Jupiter's behavior that makes sense. Jupiter is dealing with something, so he's acting like that. I wonder what that is. I'm not sure if that's the case ,but…"
Kirito seemed to think so too and followed Sinon. Shino squinted at Kirito.
"I feel the same way as Shino. There's something weird about Jupiter. I mean, he doesn't look like him or he doesn't feel like a normal guy."
I also heard about Jupiter's strange changes from Kirito.
Just yesterday I cooked a meal for Jupiter. Kirito said he went to pick up Jupiter, but Jupiter got angry at him and he ended up back on the network.
Shino was surprised by this, and so were Lilan and others. At that time, Sinon asked Lilan to contact Jupiter again, which he did, but in the end Jupiter never came back.
What happened to Jupiter? Shino was so worried about this that she didn't even go to class during the day.
"There's something about Jupiter after all. I don't quite understand it, but"
"I can't say for sure."
The two of us turned to look at Lilan who said this. Lilan's face was unusually solemn.
"I told you before, Jupiter has lost his memory. He's trying to fix it. Jupiter is trying to remember what he wants to remember."
"I understand, but is that really all there is? I feel like there's more to it..."
"I'm telling you, repairing yourself isn't easy."
The two of us turned to look at Lilan, whose expression was a little solemn.
I have heard about the self-healing function of Lilan and others many times. At first glance, this may seem easy and done secretly, but the difficulty of self-repair increases or decreases depending on the size and severity of the area to be repaired.
Moreover, the extent of Jupiter's collapse and destruction is extremely serious. Lilan said and continued.
"It's not easy to repair something that has collapsed and been damaged to this extent. Jupiter understands this and is taking action like this. If he doesn't, he will never be the same again. I can't go back to
"That's it."
"Yes, even when I was corrupted, I was desperately gathering data. If you're like me and trying to fully recover, I can understand why Jupiter would go to such lengths to do so."
Jupiter and Leland were in the same situation and were damaged in the same way. Although I did not witness the scene with my own eyes, I can imagine how much pain Lilan suffered and what actions he took to deal with it. Like Lelan back then, Jupiter desperately wanted to get better.
"Of course, if you really want to fix it, something like that might be necessary..."
\"Asuna is coming back tonight, and you should ask her then. Asuna may know more about Jupiter.\"
"I was going to do that, but"
Jupiter instinctively tries to regain its former self. Everything is driven by mhhp's intuition. Thinking of this, I think I can understand why Jupiter is so desperate, but there is still something I don't understand. It made me feel like there was a haze in my heart and I felt very uncomfortable.
Is Jupiter's behavior really the result of mhhp instincts?
I wonder if the "mhhp" instinct was such a driving force in that kid.
Is there anything else?
Even if I tried to think it over in my mind, I couldn't come up with an answer.
According to Kirito, our current location is near the deepest part of the Odorob Forest. If we continue like this, we will most likely reach the area boss. If this happens, we may have to gather everyone together for a raid boss battle, but if this problem is not solved, we will not be able to focus on the battle. It seems that doubts about Asuna are inevitable after all.
Looking askance at Shino who was thinking about this question, Straya spoke.
"Besides, if something had happened to Jupiter, I think it would have happened already."
"Any questions?"
Relan and friends (mhhp) and Yui and friends (mhcp) generally don't cause any abnormalities, but there are exceptions.
There is a contradiction in this.
When "mhhp" and "mhcp" receive orders or instructions against their will or mission, or are forced to execute them, they eventually develop internal errors that cause malfunctions and exceptions.
This is most evident at the beginning of "SAo Death Game". "mhhp" and "mhcp" are designed to immediately go to a mentally stressed player upon seeing them.
Although this is the case for many players at the beginning of the Death Game, Lilan and Yui are prohibited from going there. As a result of that incident, errors accumulated within the girls, causing damage and crashes.
Lilan took over from Strea and continued.
"If something is wrong with Jupiter, it's probably because there's something wrong with it. But he's not doing anything wrong, and that's normal."
The biggest characteristic of Lilan is that he doesn't lie except when he is often with Jupiter.
If Rilan said that, I would have no choice but to believe it. Jupiter is normal, nothing wrong with it. Shino crossed her arms and sighed softly. "If you say that, you're right. Well, there's definitely something weird about it, but Jupiter seems normal. Maybe I'm wrong."
\"I think so. Anyway, Shiono wants to take a good look at Jupiter.\"
In the past, Asuna took care of Yui and Rilan, only making time for herself and Kirito, but now it's her turn to do the same. Ever since Asuna took custody of Jupiter, Shino had done various things with this idea in mind.
Perhaps because of this, Shino began to feel that she could clearly see Jupiter and be aware of it, so it made sense for Lilan to say so.
\"That's true. Now I'm actually in charge of Jupiter and taking care of you together. Just like Asuna took care of Yui and you back then. You can say that I'm repaying you for that time. I don't know Is it this way."
\"I see. But it's over tonight. When Asuna comes back, the house and Jupiter will return to Asuna.\"
At Lilan's request, Sinon suddenly opened the window. The clock read 9:30 p.m. According to Asuna, she will go home around nine o'clock today, so Asuna must have returned from the United States.
However, after a plane trip of more than ten hours, I may be very tired when I get home and fall asleep quickly. It seems unclear whether Asuna will come to SA today:o.
Kirito probably thought so too, and whispered.
"However, it looks like we'll be able to hear the details and hand over the house and Jupiter tomorrow. That may not be possible starting today."
"Yes, indeed tonight is"
"Ah, I found it! Dad, Mom!!"
Just as she was about to say her next words, a voice suddenly came from behind, causing Shino to raise her voice in surprise. The surprise in his voice became more and more obvious. Because the sound that reached his ears was a sound that could not be heard on the court.
I stared into the darkness behind me for a few seconds, as if searching for the source, and saw a figure running towards me. For a moment, I thought a humanoid monster had spotted us, but since it was noticeably smaller and didn't have any weapons, I knew it wasn't a monster.
The figure was getting closer and closer, and when they finally saw it clearly, everyone exclaimed. The person running towards us during the attack was a petite girl with long black hair and wearing what looked like a white dress.
That was Yui, Kirito's daughter, Lilan's sister, and Strea's sister.
\"Yui!?\"
Everyone was surprised. Yui joins the game as a completely non-combatant player, so she can't fight like other players and basically can't leave the safe areas of the city. Otherwise, they will fall prey to monsters.
I couldn't help but be surprised that Yui actually came to this place, and even came to the deepest part of the place. Yui ran in as if in a hurry and came to Shino and the others.
"Dad, Mom, I finally caught up."
Yui stopped, bent her upper body, put her arms on her knees, and breathed on her shoulders. So far, you seem to be running as hard as you can. However, they were not worried about this and almost shouted to Yui in unison.
\"Yui, why are you here!?\"
"You told me not to leave town, right? Why!?"
"I mean, why are you here!?"
When Kirito, Shino, and Lilan were spoken in order, Yui straightened her back and raised her head. Although he must be very tired after walking so far, his face looked pale.
"I was teleported from the teleportation stone at the entrance here, tracking my father's whereabouts. I used my father's hidden potion to avoid the monster."
Near the entrance of this cave, there is a teleportation stone, which is a place where you can teleport directly from the teleportation gate of the City of Ancestors. Therefore, you can easily access the cave itself.
Also, since Yui shares storage space with them, she can also use Kirito's items in case of emergency. Yui shouted as the four recognized the specs they all clearly understood.
"Mom, Dad, it's even worse! My brother is getting cold." Kirito immediately said with a surprised expression.
"Jupiter?! What happened to Jupiter!?"
\"In short, please return to the starting city! Mr. Prime Minister is doing something now, but Mr. Prime Minister alone is not enough!\"
Normally she only needs to send a message, but Yui came all the way here and seemed very flustered.
Sinon immediately understood that something big had happened that would make even Yui panic, and shouted to Kirito.
\"Kirito, do you have a teleportation crystal?\"
"Yes! I will postpone the attack and let's go back quickly!"
I could retrace my steps and use the teleport stone to get back to the 'Starting City', but I couldn't do it all with the Knot. Kirito also understood this. He took out a square blue crystal from the storage room, raised it, and chanted: "Teleport, "Starting City"!"
The next moment, blue light obscured the sight of Sinon and others, and they fell into a brief coma.
When the blue light disappeared, the scene in front of me changed from a dark cave to a city illuminated by orange streetlights.
After recognizing the surrounding circular buildings, the black-roofed palace behind, and the huge stone pillar in the center, I found that my current location had become the portal of the City of Ancestors.
Immediately afterwards, everyone led by Kirito ran and left the portal. Pass through numerous shops, players and NPCs coming and going, and go through the business district to the residential area.
It seems that more and more players are acquiring houses, and quite a few players are seen in residential areas. I ran without bumping into any of the satisfied looking players, aiming for my destination - the house.
Come to think of it, I also ran into such residential areas when I was in SAo. At the time, we were on the verge of a real crisis, but now it's happened. This made Shino and the others walk faster, and they arrived in front of Asuna's house in the blink of an eye.
After kicking open the door and running through the corridor, Kirito quickly ran up the stairs. Then I ran up the stairs with loud footsteps and soon reached my bedroom.
As Yui said, the Prime Minister was in the bedroom, but she must have been surprised when the five of them rushed in at the same time, and she looked at them with extremely surprised eyes.
\"Kirito, Shino!\"
"Prime Minister, what happened!? Jupiter!?"
\"Kirito Jupiter!\"
Shino looked to the right of the Prime Minister who made a confused sound and was surprised. There is a simple table and chair next to the bed. Shino found a little boy sitting on the chair, his head hung down and face down on the table, so she and Kirito ran to him.
"Jupiter!!"
The moment they both shouted out almost simultaneously, Shino immediately realized that something was wrong with Jupiter.
Jupiter has long, snow-white hair that looks similar to Asuna's, but now it's black from the top of his head to around his eyes and the tips of his hair. Noda.
What's more, the black is not just black, it also has some kind of creeping blue mottled lines. It's as if black itself is alive.
"Jupiter, what's wrong with you!?"
Even if I asked Jupiter, he made no attempt to answer. I tried to see his face, but I couldn't see clearly because he was lying so deep. When Kirito found that she was still breathing on his shoulder, he reached out and picked her up and put her on the bed.
\"!?\"
Sinon saw Jupiter's exposed face and instinctively covered her mouth.
The twisted blackness that appears in Jupiter's hair is also clearly visible on Jupiter's skin. From the eyes upward, it was completely covered in blue-black color, with thick black liquid flowing from the eyes, mouth, ears, and nose. There were blue specks squirming in the liquid, and it even looked like Jupiter was bleeding from a hole in its face.
Seeing this scene, my words were stuck in my throat, I stopped thinking, and the back of my head felt numb. However, when Jupiter's sobs reached her ears, Sinon's thoughts began to move again. Jupiter looked like he was in pain and I could tell he was having trouble breathing.
However, his breathing seemed abnormal, and thick black liquid flowed out of his mouth every time he exhaled.
"What is this?"
When I made a squeezing sound, Jupiter opened his eyelids as if in response. Normally, her eyes were a beautiful blue, like the shallow sea, but now they turned black, like the deep sea without light, with only a hint of blue mixed in. The whites of his eyes seemed to turn gray.
"that"
Jupiter tried his best to move the mouth that leaked black liquid, and made a weak sound. It sounded like he could barely move his tongue, presumably due to the black liquid spilling out. Heavy liquids are disrupting everything on Jupiter.
\"Jupiter, what happened to you!? Yui, Prime Minister, what happened to Jupiter!? What happened to Jupiter!?\"
After hearing Kirito shouting, Premier explained what happened.
After the four went out to attack, Premier and Yui were staying at home on the first floor, but at this moment, they felt Jupiter return to the bedroom. Priya went to the bedroom, expecting to have a snack, but found Jupiter in this state and informed Yui.
Yui was taken aback, and first informed Kirito and others of the situation, and then scanned it. Then she went to the portal and flew towards Kirito and others.
"Did this happen suddenly?"
After Sinon made a confused sound, Lilan immediately opened the window and began to operate the holographic keyboard. Yui and Strea joined in and began to operate the windows in the same way, filling the room with the sounds of Jupiter's sobs and the sounds of the three operating the keyboard.
Soon, the strange silence was broken by Yui. Yui looked out the window and at Jupiter in disbelief.
"Is that so!?"
\"Yui, what did you find!?\"
"Dad, this is a virus! My brother's anima box is infected with the virus! Brother! All your abnormalities are caused by the virus!"
"Is this a virus!?"
Shino and Kirito are surprised when they hear Yui's scream after discovering Jupiter's true identity.
I heard that Jupiter is studying in the online world. We talked about what would happen if a computer virus infected us, but I never thought it would actually happen.
But this is weird. The "Anima Box" has the function of a vaccine protector. Isn't it safe even if you are infected with the virus? Aren't they at risk from the virus?
"Wait a minute! Are you not threatened by viruses or anything like that!?"
\"Yes, it should be like this!\"
Straya was operating the keyboard with a rare look of impatience on his face. Soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He reacted as if he'd discovered something he didn't want to discover.
"That's it, Jupiter's vaccine protector doesn't work! Vaccine protector doesn't work!"
\"Wha, why!?\"
"Why is this a bug?"
Yui made the same expression as Straya. Shino instinctively approached him, as if she had witnessed something incredible.
"What, what did you find?"
"You have accumulated a large amount of errors in your body. The vaccine protector has been unable to process these errors, making it unable to effectively respond to the virus taking advantage of this gap. The virus continues to spread, and the virus has been cleared from the body of the older brother. You can see that the older brother has black Water comes out. However, the virus is multiplying faster and faster and is catching up with the virus, no!"
During Aincrad, both mhhp and mhcp had errors and crashed. Jupiter has not been repaired like Yui and the others, but do the errors still remain inside Jupiter? Shino asked Yui in confusion.
\ "Isn't the error of Jupites solved a long time? When the error occurred in Yison, was it during the period of Eyerlangt?"
"Your heart is the mistake that happened these days! You have been doing something that causes mistakes these days!"
This sentence surprised Shi Nai.
Generally, we should follow our intuition and avoid errors, but the error is happening. I don't know what happened, I can't get rid of the confusion in my mind. Shi Nai hugged the head that was about to mess with, looking at Jupiter.
There can be a strange squeak of the liquid from Jupiter around Jupiter around Jupiter. It's like Jupiter's body was swallowed by the virus for a moment. Well, it may be true.
Just as I thought so, Jupiter said again with a weak voice.
\ "Kiri Poetry of his brother is not sister \"
"Jupiter!!"
Even if Kirito called him, Jupiter didn't look at him. Although his eyes were moving, his eyes continued to pass by everyone here.
"Where are you?"
"Where is it in front of me!?"
\ "Where is Kirito Brother? \"
The frightened expression on Jupiter's face, the eyes of the colors of the depths of the ocean turned, seemed to be looking for something. It's like he lost his eyesight. What exactly is this? As Shi Nai thought, Streya said in surprise.
"Jupiter virus is a data destruction! Moreover, it is still breeding, and it has penetrated into a very deep place in the" Heart Energy Box ", which has caused damage to the field of vision!
In the infection of human infectious diseases, some of them can infect eyes, destroy nerves, and take people's vision. Shi Nai couldn't believe that there were similar things in this virtual world, and they were infected.
Lai Lan whispered behind Sterea. Although his expression was severe, his face looked pale.
"If you have reached this step, then you are not good enough. If the virus continues to invade this way, Jupiter's configuration data itself will be destroyed!"
"Is the configuration data destroy? What if this happens?"
"Jupiter will no longer maintain himself. In other words, Jupiter will die"
Shi Nai listened to this sentence and froze. I have an illusion that even the blood flowing through the body was freezing, and my fingertips were suddenly cold.
What if Jupiter's death means? is it possible?
It is true that the constituent data of Jupites and others is "Anima Box", which means the box of life, but does this really mean life? If so, when the 'Anima Box' is destroyed, life will be destroyed.
Now, Jupiter's Anima box is about to be destroyed by the virus.
Death is about to come to a existence of not dead.
After confirming the current situation again, when Shi Nai was about to lose consciousness, a loud voice passed into her ears and brought her back here.
"Lilan, how can I stop it!? How to repair Jupiter! Is it a virus nemesis!"
"There is no such thing! The vaccine protective cover can remove the virus. As long as the vaccine protective cover plays a role, the virus can be removed. But why does it occur in this error, it first suppresss the vaccine cover!? Where did this error come from?" Where does it come from? coming! ? "
Even Lan, who had always been calm, operated the holographic keyboard at a loss at this time. What happens now exceeds Lan's expectations and exceeds the expectations of game management. We cannot do such a thing alone.
I have no power to do now -just when I think so, Kirito clenched his teeth and shouted to Lilan again.
\ "Lilan, first contact Asuna's smartphone and let her log in! Jieyi, continue scanning, Streya, contact Miss Alice! Use the emergency phone that you told us before! First, tell you two! !”
Kirito's speed is fast, and instructions are given. Although he seemed a bit out of speech because he was too fast, he was still able to make instructions accurately. As the head of the blood deeds, the experience accumulated during the attack team has now been well played.
After receiving the instructions of Kirito, Lan and Strea stopped the operation of the holographic keyboard and opened a window to contact the outside world. Lilan began to try to contact Asuna, and Strea began to try to contact Alice.
That's it. Asuna is now the person who needs to know the situation the most. Because Asuna was the mother of Jupiter, she had to run out when she heard her son's danger. If Asuna comes back, even Jupites will feel at ease.
And as my mentor, Alice is the developer of Jupiter, and she should know how to deal with such things. If these two people join forces, they can break this situation and help Jupiter. Just as I was about to get lost and tried to relax, a small voice came in my ears.
"stop"
The source of the sound is Jupiter. It stretched out the black hand that turned black because of the virus, making a weak voice, as if praying for something. Shi Nai quickly turned around and asked her to answer.
"Jupitet is here! Your mother is back soon!"
\ "Stop your hands, don't call Kasan \"
""
Hearing Jupiter's voice was clearly visible, everyone was stiff and diverted her attention. The attracted attention began to weave text, the face was full of holes, with thick black liquid flowing.
"Mom, she doesn't want me to be like this now because"
\ "Jupiter, what are you talking about!? \"
Jupiter coughed violently. The thick black liquid splashed on the bed.
"Mom, she doesn't want me to make me weak"
I don't understand you. Do you don't want Jupiter to be weak? Don't you want to be like it? Kirito grabbed Jupiter's shoulder, and his mind was full of question marks, which became even more confused.
\ "Jupiter, what!? What are you concealing! What are you doing for so long!? I listen to you, let me tell me!! \"
Kirito said like interrogation, saying severely. This is not what Judge should do under such a weak situation, but Shi Nai didn't mean to stop.
"Jupiter, speak !!!"
Kirito's angry voice echoed in the room, letting the furniture shake. After about five seconds, everyone was speechless by this huge voice. Jupiter took a deep breath, as if it was the final strength, and said.
"I want to make my mother happy"
About a week ago ... I heard my mother and Alice say ... I am an AI that is not as good as others. I can't survive without the protection of my mother ... that is a failed AI. ... Mother raising such a thing is really a stupid woman
Mom's father and brother are such uncle and grandfather's company, and even Alice said that her mother, when we talk about this, she looks really scared. "
Jupiter slowly turned his head and turned his face to Lan and others. The eyes that were already invisible, all kinds of sensors were fully launched. It seems that Lilan and others have found their position.
\ "However, this is indeed because I can't be a" messenger 'like my sister, nor can I do a good job of hackers or cracking. Although I am my brother, I can "don’t analyze the situation like Yui. I can’t handle information. I can’t handle information. , I can't fight like stream ... I'm weaker than anyone, I'm not more useful than anyone, I am a loser. Although I 'My Jie and Streya's brother, my sister’s brother I can't do anything. Can't ""
Continue to scan the Yi Yi moved his hand from the holographic keyboard to his mouth, covering his mouth. Streya and Lan were also froze, and the windows were open, and nothing could be done except staring at Jupiter.
"If I am weak, if I have been weak, everyone will curse me. I will be injured and I will make that terrible face again. I will be very painful. I was hurt ... I don't want her to look like that ... I absolutely hate it ...
That's why I tried to become more powerful and smarter. Therefore, I left what I really need to do. Actually, I do not need to consider becoming stronger, nor need to consider becoming clever
But ... it is not possible ... so I deleted all the time I had to play with everyone ... the time I spent with my mother ... I sleep ... I try to learn And becoming smarter, I try to become stronger. yes"
Then Jupiter's face turned to Kirito who had been teaching Jupiter's swordsmanship and skills. I stared at his face with a thick black liquid, and heard the sound of Kirito's breathing.
"Then I really became stronger. I could do what I couldn't do before, and I found that I became stronger and smarter ...
Then my mother praised me. He is very happy. So he told me. "You can become stronger, you can become smarter, you can become a stronger artificial intelligence." "I want to see you stronger and smarter than now."
That's why I want to become stronger, no matter how hard I work. I will graduate from failure. If you do this, your mother will be happy because your mother will be happy, you can do anything you can do. "
Jupiter turned to Lilan. Lilan stiffened at the position that was about to touch the window and turned into a stone image.
"So, my sister should not tell my mother to tell her that I am good. I am studying and becoming stronger when I hear me. She is very disappointed.
At this point, the long story of Jupites is over. The room was silent, but it was not completely silent. The erosion from Jupiter's body continued to sound.
Shi Nai couldn't say anything. I can not believe it.
Asuna said that Jupiter wanted to become stronger through her own will, but this was not the true intention of Jupiter. In fact, Jupiter does not want to become stronger. I don't want to be smart either.
However, for Asuna, Judley endured desperately and continued to endure. He continued to become stronger and smarter. Jupiter continued to impose herself to her, but did not tell her her true feelings.
As a mother, Asuna didn't know this, and didn't even try to understand the child's heart, and continued to force Jupiter to become stronger and smarter.
As a result, the severe situation is now.
\ "Is that for Yasuna? \"
Shi Nai felt numb and whispered. Jupiter turned to look at Shi Nai, as if she could hear her voice clearly. Then Shi Nai saw a more incredible scene.
Jupiter's face showed a smile. The face was distorted by pain, and it was covered with a strong black liquid. The voice is weak, "Hey hehe."
\ "Sister Poetry, I am stronger and stronger, I am very happy, I am very happy \"
"!!"
Poetry gritted her teeth. Something touched my cheeks. Unconsciously, my tears fell down. Shi Nai wants to stop tears that will flow due to emotional fluctuations in the virtual world.
What really wants to cry is Jupiter. Jupiter is the one who suffers here and is about to die. What should be crying is Jupiter, not me. However, Jupiter laughed while laughed, like a thick liquid, like black tears.
"Why do you laugh and experience so much pain, you have suppressed you so painful, so why are you laughing ..."
"Uh-huh"
Jupiter laughed. How can this child do such a thing?
Just as she had doubts again, Shi Nai felt a light in her head. This was what Rilan said that year.
"In the end, Jupiter is a failure, with fatal defects."
After hearing this sentence, Shi Nai has been worried about the fatal defects of Jupiter. If I can, I will find it as soon as possible, and I also want to tell Assna. However, since I heard this story, I haven't found a similar thing yet. Until this time.
But now I have heard everything from Jupiter, I can't help but feel that I can understand this. Jupiter's fatal defect. When I was going to say that, my sight met with Kirito's eyes. He seemed to realize something.
"Kili Tjup"
"That's it this is the fatal defect of Jupiter"
Jupiter executes any orders for the interests of the person he cares. Even if this violates your wishes and feelings, you continue to do it with force. No matter how difficult and painful, no matter how contradictions, he will continue to execute this command. As a result, the vaccine protector becomes unable to operate due to a large number of errors, which may cause viral infections and need to be repaired, or cause collapse in the worst case.
If it is for the order of others, even if it is the original order, he will ignore his will, ideas, and desires, and do what he will. He was a very selfless servant, and even concealed his absurdity and executed his order.
This is the fatal flaw of Jupiter.
Asuna is a person who must know this, and also a person who must realize this. As a mother, Asuna must realize the fatal defects of Jupiter as soon as possible.
However, Asuna did not notice this, and did not try to inquire about any situation of Jupiter. Instead, she continued to impose her unilateral desire to Jupiter.
Jupiter must have made such a reckless move in front of Asuna somewhere. No matter how hard he pretended to do nothing unreasonable, he may still show something.
However, Asuna did not notice this at all, he ignored Jupiter at all and continued to impose his stupid thoughts and one -sided desire to him.
Shi Nai looked at Jupiter lying on the bed again. Most of his silver -white hair was stained with black, with a trace of blue, and his eyes were also stained with black. There were thick black liquid flowing in the cave on his face.
The darkness that is about to cover the whole body of Jupiter is the evil virus that threatens Jupiter's life, and the hand of death across the world's boundaries.
People who cause Jupiter to infection with this virus are not others, it is himself. It is Assina.
Shi Nai accepted this, clenched her teeth, and heard it. Tears did not flow out. On the contrary, a fiery anger rose from my chest.
Asuna should have knew about Jupiter's affairs, but she didn't notice anything.
Can't believe that the cute child was treated like this.
I can't believe my pain in my child is gone.
Shi Nai lowered his head and shouted to Lilland.
"Lilan, let's leave the room temporarily."
"Why? Jupiter is like this!?"
\ "Okay, I'm gone!!! Strey, hurry up and contact Teacher Alice! \"
Shi Nai shouted like a anger in his chest, then left the room and walked down the stairs.
When I arrived on the first floor, I heard the same footsteps. When I turned around, I saw Lilan down from the stairs.
After Lan walked down the stairs, Shi Nai said again.
\ "Lilan, called Assina. I kept calling until she answered. \" Huh "
In the room in her house, Asuna sighed deeply. When I put down my bag and sat on the chair, I sighed loudly.
Although it has been two days after leaving home, Assina has a long time after returning home. This may be because there are more than 10 hours between Japan and the United States.
Although in the morning in the United States, when I returned to Japan, the sun had fallen, and the night was coming. Moreover, even the date is the next day, I feel a little strange. End in the blink of an eye during the day and start at night. It's as if he crossed the entire world.
