\"I'm sorry, Miss Asuna. I was supposed to heal you, but I couldn't. Not only that, I forgot my mission and everything and took care of you, the person I had to heal.\", without permission. You think so, you call it that, even though it's just a created program, you believe it's your child
It must be annoying for you to call me mom."
It was then that Asuna felt something well up in her chest as she heard the last words of Jupiter whose face was filled with tears.
In the blink of an eye, Asuna's limbs moved, she came closer to Jupiter, and slapped her on the cheek. A loud, dry voice echoed through the empty, ruined throne room.
When the sound died down, Jupiter put his hand on his left cheek, as if he didn't know what was happening.
\"Trouble? This can't be possible!!\"
Asuna screamed, letting the urge rise. He doesn't care what the people around him look like, or even the state of Jupiter.
"What do you see in me so far?! You've been staying with me!!!"
I screamed carefree and the urge subsided. Asuna felt as if she had really thrown away everything. She felt dizzy and sat there weakly. Still, he kept talking.
"It was always painful for me. I felt like the world was so cold and colorless. I had to go back to my parents. I had to end this game. I thought everything else was over." No fun.
I feel like reality is falling apart day by day. I couldn’t help but feel like I was losing everything I had accumulated, including my family, my opportunity for higher education, and my friends. I always thought the world was a lie. When I sleep I dream about things in the real world and it's painful.
That’s why I’ve been working on strategy. I wish this world would end soon and it would be cleaned up I don't have fun every day. It was very cold and I couldn't help but feel cold. Day after day, nothing.
However, it was time. You gave me brown bread with butter. At first I thought it was nothing. However, when I tried it, it was completely different and absolutely delicious. This was the first time in that world that I found it delicious. It made me realize that there are still some delicious things in this world.
Since then, I have relied on the buttery brown bread you gave me to support me. Buttery brown bread is my emotional support. Because of everything you gave me, I was able to keep fighting. "
Asuna crossed her arms tightly to her chest. Tears overflowed uncontrollably.
"After that, I met your sister. There I poured out everything that was on my mind, all the things I didn't like. Then I realized what I wanted to do, and the world became full of color and sparkle. Chapter Once I started to think this is beautiful. I discovered that this world is also a beautiful world.
That's why, if possible, your sister made me understand that I want to be with Lilan forever. However, Lilan is an 'acquaintance' of Kirito-kun, so he can't do this.
That's selfish, isn't it? Although I couldn't be with Relan, I still wanted to be with him. I felt like a big hole was left in my heart. Even after that, I met Yuki and we started living together. It didn't fill me up and I wasn't satisfied. "
Asuna raised her head, many memories of meeting Lilan flashed through her mind. Jupiter looked at me in shock.
“That’s when you came to me.
I was really surprised when I found you in the forest. I'm scared because you won't wake up even if I call you, and when I wake up and you call me "mom", I don't know what to do. But at the same time, I'm also happy. I'm happy to think that I can be called "Mom."
From then on, every day became more enjoyable.
When I wake up in the morning, you are there to say "Good morning." When I cook, you eat it and say "It's delicious." When I get home, you are there. When I say, "I'm home," you say, "Welcome home." You call me "Mom," and you're with me, so tomorrow will come, and the day after tomorrow will come. I can't help but look forward to it. Even at night, if I fall asleep after you say "good night," I don't have any unpleasant dreams.
You are always adorable and I can’t help but enjoy every day with you. I can't imagine life without you. Sometimes I think I'd rather never finish the game than say goodbye to you when it's done.
You always fill in the unfinished parts of me. You love me and you heal my heart. "
Asuna lowered her head again. Memories of a real world without Jupiter came back to mind.
"So, when I failed to save you in the Imperial Jade Palace, I felt that everything was over. When the game was cleared and I was able to return to the real world, I was not happy at all. Every day was colorless. "It started again.
I've always wanted to return to the real world, but I feel like I left you in Aincrad and my heart is empty again. has become. Nothing to eat is good, recovery is too hard, and I dream about you when I sleep. Every day without you is nothing.
It was difficult because there was nothing. Although I can see you all again, I can't be happy from the bottom of my heart because I only think of you.
So when I unpacked the SAo items in ALo, I was so happy to see you again. I am happy when you call me "Mom", when I can cook for you, when I can say "good morning" and "good night" to you, when every day starts anew with you. I am very happy.
As long as you are here, I don't need anything. I don’t think about anything, I”
The tears showed no sign of stopping. Not only that, the momentum is getting stronger and stronger.
“Yet even though I love you more than anyone else, just because you told me once that I couldn’t do it, I gave in to that frustration and forced myself to accept you without knowing your heart. I feel for you Good, because you became wiser. You tried to help me, you tried to heal my heart, but I understood nothing and turned to you. I forced myself.
I did to you the things that I hated the most when my father and mother asked me to do them and I destroyed you, you are more important and dear to me than anyone else.
It’s not others who think you are a loser, it’s me who thinks you are a loser. As your mother, I am a loser. That’s right.”
Asuna raised her head again and saw the child she wanted to heal. Then he shook his head several times.
"It's not you who wants to apologize, it's me who really wants to apologize. When you tried to heal me, I hurt you and you looked at me and you tried so hard to heal my hurt." Heart! I treated you like a loser and you broke down.
...I'm sorry, Jupiter...I did something terrible to you...I did something that I shouldn't have done as a mother...I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Jupiter..."
I no longer deserve to be called mom.
Jupiter had no choice but to reject her, and Jupiter himself had recovered his memory and returned to his original appearance. Maybe he no longer needed his mother. Even if she was told that she had lost her right to be a mother and was rejected by Jupiter, there was nothing she could do - or so Asuna thought.
However, something still remained in Asuna's heart. Even if I shed tears, they won’t come out. Yui's first way to get it out is to say it out loud. Asuna sobbed and moved her mouth.
"But so I I want to face you again and try again.
I want to be with you who tried to heal me but got hurt. This time, I want to heal your wounds. I am always thinking of you. I will always accept you. I even cook. I will always try to understand you. I don't care if they say you're not good enough.
I'm not going to repeat what I hate the most about what my father and mother did to me. I don't want to repeat myself. And, I will always think of you and I will try to understand your heart so again, again”
Asuna raised her head and saw a child with the same color eyes reflected in her own eyes, and said like a scream.
"I want to live with you again, my lovely son Yui!!!"
Asuna spoke out the remaining words in her heart with a loud voice that seemed to be squeezed out of her whole body. In the throne room, which was still shrouded in darkness, the sound became deeper and slowly disappeared.
When silence returned, Asuna took a deep breath, exhaled it gently, and then turned to Jupiter. Jupiter still looked stunned.
``...that's all I'm feeling right now. All my wishes now.
But I have no intention of forcing this on you. Your feelings and your desires are more important. So Jupiter, if you don't mind, let me ask you something? I asked you how you feel now and what is your wish after regaining your memory.
Jupiter blinked and then lowered his head. Jupiter seemed to be thinking about something, something that Jupiter had never thought of before, and then he quietly moved his mouth.
"My wish now is"
Jupiter was speechless. But then, almost immediately, he started talking, trying to convey everything.
"I want to continue to heal the hearts of many women. No, not just women. I want to use my power to heal the hearts of many. I want them to be healthy and smile. Even if I fail, I was born for this mission and I want to continue Complete this mission.”
Jupiter's expression and eyes were full of determination.
Asuna saw no trace of Jupiter, only the figure of "mhhp" trying to complete its mission.
What we have here is "Mental Health Treatment Plan Prototype No. 2 Codename: Jupiter". Jupiter has returned to its original form and is carrying out its assigned mission. Asuna saw a look she had never seen before from Jupiter and immediately noticed it.
At this moment, Asuna tried to imagine Jupiter in his mind. Jupiter's body trembled suddenly, and his face slowly dropped.
"But not only that, I am even more me"
When Jupiter raised his head again and made a sound, big tears overflowed from his amber eyes again.
\"Miss Asuna, I want to be with you forever. I want to eat more of your cooking. I want to see, listen, and experience all kinds of things with you. I want to live here and do many things. \"Memories with you! No matter how much you criticize me for failing, I will continue.”
Jupiter stood up, ran towards Asuna and jumped into her chest. I grabbed her delicate arms and threw them around her back, screaming loudly.
"I want to be Kaa-a-san-n's child forever!!!"
Asuna couldn't move as soon as she heard a sound as loud as the scream she just heard.
Just before the boy in my chest jumped in. It only lasted a second or two, but I could clearly see the boy's face transforming into the Jupiter I knew.
Then, the boy did say this to Asuna.
Mother.
Jupiter forgave me for doing such a terrible thing. He said he was with me. Even after I regained my memory, she still called me "Kasan."
When this fact fell into her heart like water drops, tears welled up in front of her eyes that were so intense that she could no longer see clearly. Unable to stop, Asuna hugged the boy to her chest with all her strength.
"Jupiter Jupiter!!!"
The sight of Jupiter crying into his chest was so heartwarming that no matter how many tears he shed, his warmth never wavered. Jupiter called me mother many times.
"Jupiter, is this what you wish for?"
"Yes Yes!"
\"Yes, yes, let's live together like this. From now on, we will always be together!\"
Asuna hugged the child's body tightly, sucked him over and over again, and buried her face in his hair. There is a faint smell that seems to be inherited from me.
“Kasan Kasan”
"It doesn't matter. Jupiter is my child. You can pamper me how you want."
Jupiter sobbed and said "Yes", then put all his weight on Asuna. The warmth coming from there was the same as before, the warmth of embracing Jupiter.
Jupiter must be here, my Yuiichi's child.
When Asuna finally admitted this, she remembered what she was about to say, removed Jupiter from her chest, and placed her hands on Jupiter's shoulders.
"Hey, Jupiter, listen. A humanoid robot is being developed next. When it's complete, they plan to put you on board."
"robot?"
"Yes, it's your body. It's not something to show off, but it's a body you live with. It may take a little more time, but you'll get there one day."
Jupiter's tearful eyes showed surprise. Jupiter probably never imagined that one day he would live in the real world.
"In this way, we can be together in both the virtual world and the real world. Do you want to come to the real world?"
Jupiter didn't speak, but a smile gradually appeared on his face and he nodded. There was no lie or irrational color in those eyes. Jupiter replied heartily.
"I feel the same way. Let's see, hear, feel, and make many memories together in the real world and the virtual world."
When Jupiter nodded again, Asuna was already sure of something. Asuna couldn't resist telling him as she hugged him tightly, her hands gently clasping Jupiter's soft cheeks.
"Jupiter. You say someone created you, but you are not a creature. You were born with this idea. You are my child Yuiichi
"That's why that's why, Jupiter."
Feeling the warmth of the child flowing from her hands, Asuna turned the words flowing deep in her heart into words.
"You've been watching over me. You've been trying to heal my heart. You've really healed my heart. You've been eating my food. You've been trying to heal me...for calling me Kaasan...for love." I...because I met me...
Thank you for your birth”
When my beloved child smiles, there is light all around.
The long night is coming to an end.
The night Jupiter completed the repairs, he was in a room in a hotel in the City of Origin. In the room that Kirito often uses, there are all the daughters created by Alice, including Kirito, Shino, Lilan, Yui, Straya, and Premier, as well as people related to them by blood.
"Wow, I thought it was an emergency again, but it turned out not to be."
Alice, who was sitting on the chair, looked around and sighed helplessly. The person who made her vomit was Kirito.
The day after the Jupiter incident, Kirito and his friends went to school as usual, and Alice went back to work, but at night, they all went to "SA:o".
The reason was that I wanted to talk to Alice, one of the former Argus employees and the creator of mhhp and mhcp.
When Jupiter was resurrected, many things that Alice had never heard of came to light, some of which were about the origins of Yui and Strea's development.
Alice still hides the secret of her daughter's birth. Not only Kirito wanted to hear this story, but Shino, Lilan, Yui, and Straya also wanted to hear it.
So everyone decided to listen to the story. Just like yesterday, Yui summoned Alice on the emergency phone and asked her to come to the hotel room that Kirito was using.
\"Yui used the emergency phone, so I thought something happened again. But isn't it a good thing that nothing happened?\"
\"I'm sorry, Alice-san. I have something to ask you.\"
\"Not only dad, but me, Streya and your sister also want to ask Miss Alice something. That's why I asked you to use the emergency phone.\"
According to Yui's story, the emergency number Yui and her friends called for Alice was told not to use it except in an emergency. Since he's even using this to contact me, Alice must be wondering what's going on. Alice's shocked expression can be said to be inevitable.
However, Alice sighed, leaned forward slightly, resting her elbows on her knees, seemingly unable to ignore the complaints of her daughter Yui.
"So, I'm wondering what you guys want to ask me when you call me. But, I think I have a rough idea."
"This is the development history of Yui and the others, and it is also the development intention of Lilan and Jupiter."
Kirito once again told Alice the unforgettable story of Jupiter. Alice listened to Kirito's story from beginning to end with a nostalgic look on her face, and couldn't help but snort after hearing his words.
\"Yes. There are many things I haven't told you about mhhp and mhcp.\"
\"Teacher Alice, can you tell me? As Yui's mother, I am also very worried.\"
After hearing the question from her dedicated patient Shino, Alice sighed deeply again. It didn't look like he wanted to talk about something he decided not to talk about.
"What Jupiter said is confidential, but now that Argus has been disbanded, it doesn't matter. This is information you should know. I will tell you something special."
After finishing speaking, Alice began to speak as if she was reviewing something.
\"First of all, as Jupiter said, there are two types of 'mhhp'. The free general type, which moves freely while performing tasks, and the task observation type, which prioritizes observing tasks. The general type - the purpose type is Lilan, based on tasks The type is Jupiter.
The reason why I made two molds is because while I was making two molds, I was also trying out which one I wanted in the end. However, both were flawed from the start.
Because Lilan is a free universal type, his learning ability is not very high because of being free, he is only interested in other things, and has gained a lot of abilities that are not needed to function as an 'mhhp'. However, the task-compliant Jupiter is too insistent on his mission, so even if the fatigue level keeps accumulating, he tries to ignore it and move on, and the mistakes keep accumulating and he collapses.
Defects are bound to occur. certainly. The idea is to have artificial intelligence do things that would normally have to be done by humans, which is a good idea, even if it's ridiculous. It wouldn’t be a surprise if something went wrong of some sort, and ultimately we built with that in mind. "
Alice corrected her posture and crossed her legs. Place your hands on your lower abdomen.
"Still, it's possible to overcome Lelan and Jupiter's shortcomings."
"what is that?"
Hearing Yui's question, Alice turned her gaze to him. The two men have the same color hair but different eye colors and their eyes intersect.
\"Well, it's about creating these types of multiples. To understand how tired humans are, both Lelan and Jupiter have a fatigue value. If this fatigue value becomes larger, fatigue will occur. They will become like humans and cannot Too much movement. However, “fatigue is essential to healing the human mind and spirit. To compensate for this shortcoming, a shift system is needed to treat humans. It would have worked if they were allowed to win, but the company doesn't allow that. "
There, Kirito remembers how Jupiter survived in the past. During the conquest of Aincrad, Jupiter was copied by Aerith at some point, and the true form remained in Aerith's hands. Therefore, even if Alberich/Sugou Nobuyuki transforms it into a combat AI, it is still safe. If this copy function existed, you could use it in a test operation and create multiple Jupiters and have them take turns hitting each other.
"Why? Jupiter and the others have a copy function, right? If you use it, you can perform alternate operations."
"Yes, Jupiter's shortcomings could have been overcome if we had done this. However, just running the 'mhhp' as a whole would always eat up a huge budget. For budget and cost reasons, Jupiter doesn't do that." It would be possible to increase their numbers and use them. That's probably why Quinella created them but didn't get used. "
There are three "mhhp". Liran, Jupiter and Quinella.
One of them, Quinella, was unknown to Kirito and the others during their time in SAo, but Alice took her with her shortly after they went to ALo, allowing her to reveal her existence.
After that, they lived together as one of Kirito's friends, Lilan, Jupiter, Yui, and Strea, but when Svart'Alfheim was cleared, Alice took it without permission. Got it back and now it's missing. The thing is, only Alice knows about it.
Alice's story continues.
"So, regarding the copy function, in order to function normally, the main body and the copy must be synchronized within a certain period. However, in addition to the fatigue value, this copy also synchronizes memory and information. So, no matter how many copies I make, It's all pointless because they have to be in sync, and so are the fatigue values. If I made them in a way that didn't happen, it would cause problems with the mission. It's really a blockade on all sides."
Alice's originally downward gaze turned to Yui and Straya.
"The top brass at Argus didn't seem too happy about this desperate turn of events. They started telling us to stop developing the mhhp and develop a successor. Kayaba-san and I weren't too impressed. It wasn't great, but it was because of the production\" SAo\"needed it, so I had to make a cheaper\"mhhp\" version.
It does not have the fatigue value of 'mhhp', nor is it as close to the real heart and emotions as 'mhhp'. It only has the function of emotional imitation, and it also has a strong therapeutic effect. Abilities like "mhhp", a procedural AI with no cure, just the ability to walk up to the player and listen to their story. They are Yui and Strea. You are part of a mental health counseling program. "
Kirito took a deep breath at Alice who told him so calmly, and then turned his attention to Yui and Straya. The two just stared at Alice, blinked a few times, and didn't try to say anything. Yui's hand on her lap was Shino's hand, and Stria's hand was Lilan's hand, but neither of them responded.
\"It's not surprising that you don't know me. We decided that if I gave you any unnecessary education or anything like that, it would be a second story to \"mhhp\". So you all got your The knowledge gained from "mhhp". The foundation, personality, personality, mission and judgment criteria are programmed and created. In particular, Yui, you are based on Jupiter and Strea is based on Martell. If you two have similar personalities , that’s why.
Ten of you were admitted, but that's because your operating wages are astonishingly low. It is used in greater quantities than "mhhp" and overcomes all the disadvantages of "mhhp". That's why the big guys at Argus approved "mhcp" and implemented it in "SAo".
\"mhhp\" is not an advanced version of \"mhcp\", but \"mhhp\" is the basis for creating \"mhcp\". At best, it is \"mhcp\"'s scum. At least that's what the Argus bosses say. "
Hearing this, Kirito couldn't help but react. Here is Lilan, a "mhhp", Lilan was originally like Kayaba Akihiko and Alice's child. I don't think parents would treat their children like scum, all I can say is that the way Alice said it is terrible.
\"Alice-san!!\"
\"——Yes, Kirito-kun. I am also very disappointed that mhhp is treated like this. For the convenience of adults, it is really disgusting that two people who were born together are treated like this. It is such a waste." Budget. I can't forgive those who try to cancel mhhp for these reasons. "
Alice's tone changed. Alice Serizawa As a person, Alice's tone speaks from the heart.
\"That's why I worked with Mr. Kayaba to protect 'mhhp' Leland Martel, Jupiter, and Quinella. And 'mhcp' was born for the convenience of the company adults, and it's me. I don't want to change this. A little. That's why I gave Yui, Strea, and the other mhcp my physical characteristics.
Yui, so your hair color, Strea, breasts, and eye color are all the same as mine. "
I've always been curious about the physical similarities between Yui and Iris from Strea. It is an expression of Alice's philosophy and aesthetic, and although "mhcp" was created for the convenience of the company, it is still her own child.
Children inherit elements of appearance and personality from their parents in the form of inheritance and embody them. This is true for all living things on earth.
And as Asuna said, Alice sees "mhhp" and "mhcp" as real life. That's why, no matter how much Alice was created for Argus' convenience, she was still his own child. Based on the fact that they didn't change, Yui was given her hair color, Strea was given her eye color and breast size, and martell was given her hair type.
\"Yui, Streya. Indeed, you just have the ability to imitate emotions. However, thanks to mom and dad, you are no different from mhhp or humans. You. You have real wisdom and heart. And your dad My mother is Kirito.\"——Kun and Shino are over there. You must understand this. \"
Alice said to the two of them in a calm voice, and then turned in a certain direction. Yui sat listening with Strea's sister, the first model of the unforgettable "mhhp", "Mental Health Treatment Program Prototype No. 1 Codename: Martel". Alice gently called the girl. Her name was now Lilan.
\"Martel, you have met an outstanding master named Kirito-kun. Your current task is to become Kirito-kun's 'dependent' named Lilan. No one, including Argus, will force you Complete your previous mission. I won't. Please continue with your current mission. Just like before."
Lilan straightened her back in shock. The same thing happened to Kirito.
Yui, Strea and Lilan, who once had the mission of healing players' hearts, now spend every day in a completely different situation. I feel much more accomplished than when they first performed their mission, and they seem to be having a great time every day. It can be said that Yui, Strea, and Lilan have been freed from their missions in Argus and SAo, and are no longer used by adults.
Alice continued, making a waving gesture.
\"Yui, Streya, Lilan. Come over here.\"
The three people named stood up and slowly walked towards Alice. What are you three going to do? Alice ignored Kirito and Shino who looked suspicious, opened her arms, and hugged them all at once.
Although it was a bit much to hug just one person, everyone was still surprised that he actually wanted to hug three people at the same time. Her children were also confused by what they had been forced to become, but Alice didn't care and whispered to them.
"No matter what you become, you are still my child.
Yui, Strea, Martell. Thank you for your birth. "
What Asuna said to Jupiter. As soon as he said this, Kirito, Shino, and the Prime Minister hugged each other and fell silent.
Even if it is created for the convenience of adults, it is still life. As a living thing, being alive makes no difference. Kirito felt as if these words that proved the truth were echoing in his chest.
Unborn child has stomach pain. After hugging for dozens of seconds, mother Alice let go of the children and called them gently again.
"However, the place where you should be right now is not with me. Yui, go to your parents. Lilan, go to your husband. Strea, go back to your sisters."
The three women nodded silently and turned around. Yui continued to walk and ran towards her parents. Kirito and Shino hugged the girl's body.
\"Yui\"
"Dad, Mom, me"
"It's okay, Yui. You don't have to worry about anything anymore. You are our child. You are my daughter."
Shino buried her face in Yui's hair and said. Indeed, both Yui and Strea may be human imitators, created to the standards of the ruler of Argus.
However, they have the power to heal humans and have the same heart as humans. The fact that they are her and Shino\/Shinon's daughters has not changed.
Yui is Yui, no matter what its purpose. This is my and Shino's child. Kirito confirmed this again and then said after Sinon.
"Yui, thank you so much for coming to us and becoming our daughter. You are the child we Yui loves so much."
Kirito raised his head. Yui and her sisters Lilan and Strea were indeed there.
"The same goes for Relan and Strea. You are our family too. No matter what your original intentions were when you were born, that will never change. Thank you so much for being our family."
Lilan and Strea both had smiles on their faces as they talked about the feelings they had had so far. Although it was created to imitate humans, there is evidence that it is a real life form.
\"Yes, Kirito.\"
That's when it's time. The Prime Minister, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. Kirito responded to the premiere, a little surprised by the sudden sound.
"Well, what happened to the Prime Minister?"
"I understand that Yui, Strea, Lilan, and Jupiter are all lives. So, what about me? Am I also a life?"
Premier is the same artificial intelligence as Yui and others, and like Yui and others, its operation seems to have the function of emotional imitation. Perhaps that's why the Prime Minister has recently begun to show clear emotions and seems to understand people's hearts. The Prime Minister is almost interested.
On top of that, Premier lives in a world called SA:o, and if your HP runs out, you die.
If we don’t say that it’s the same life as Yui and the others, what should we call the premiere?
With this thought in mind, Kirito let go of Yui, walked to Prilia, and gently put his hand on her head. Priya was a little stunned, and then locked Kirito with her light blue eyes.
\"Yes, Prime Minister. Like Yui and the others, you also have your own life. You also have your own life.\"
"I am also a life"
"Yes, you can only have one life at a time, so cherish it."
As soon as Kirito finished speaking, Premier gently put his hand on his chest. It was like he was trying to feel the heartbeat in his chest.
\"I understand. From now on, I will also cherish my life. I have the same life as Yui, Strea, Lilan, and Jupiter\"
the Prime Minister said with a smile on his face. Rather than feeling happy about knowing something he didn't know before, he seemed happy again because he was convinced that he and Yui were the same person.
This isn't just a premiere. All NPCs in this world are still alive. At first glance, they might just appear to be in the game, but in reality they are living their own lives. The NPCs in this world are life and are alive. As soon as Kirito realized this, Alice's voice reached his ears.
\"Thank you for being born, huh? I didn't expect you to be able to say such words when you grow up. The painful lessons you have learned are worth it.\"
Hearing the almost whispering voice, Kirito couldn't help but react. Just as I was about to call her, Alice stood up from her chair and started walking toward the exit.
\"Alice-san, where are you going?\"
\"Since you took the trouble to log in, I think we're going to have a lot of fun. Kirito-san, if you're planning on going on an adventure, do you mind if I go with you?\"
After that, I plan to form a team with Sinon, Lilan, and Straya to carry out the mission. There was nothing wrong with Alice joining them, but that wasn't Kirito's concern.
"I was planning on going on an adventure, but"
"In that case, let me join you. However, it has been a while since I last conquered this area, so I will start preparing first. Let's meet at the Portal Plaza later."
After saying that, Alice left the room.
Alice clearly had something in her mouth. It's like everything planned so far turned out exactly the same.
In addition, I remember that Alice said something outrageous to Asuna yesterday, and the reason why Jupiter did this was first of all because he overheard the conversation between Asuna and Alice.
"!"
Kirito quickly stood up and turned towards the direction Alice left. Although I could hear Shino and Yui's voices, I didn't have time to pay attention to them.
Even if Alice suddenly disappears or appears without warning, she should still be able to catch up.
Kirito said to the people present: "I'm going to chase Alice." Then he ran out of the room. I tried to run down the hallway, but I had to stop immediately. Less than ten meters away from the room, Alice's back was clearly visible.
It was as if they were waiting for Kirito to arrive, but Kirito didn't care.
\"Alice-san, please wait a moment.\"
Since all the rooms were equipped with soundproofing devices, Kirito didn't have to worry about the people around him and shouted loudly. The voice came naturally, making Alice stop in her tracks.
"Mr. Alice"
\"What's wrong, Kirito-san?\"
After hearing the usual answer, Kirito continued.
\"Alice-san, do you know?\"
"Even if you know, what does that mean?"
\"What happened between Asuna and Jupiter. You must know what will happen if you leave Jupiter alone.\"
Alice turned around and stared at Kirito with her reddish-brown eyes. His eyes were still the same as before.
"What is the basis for asking such a thing? What is the basis for saying that I know this series of things?"
\"I heard your nagging. And Jupiter said you were talking to Asuna at the time. He heard what you said, that's why Jupiter became like that. At that time, you and Asuna were originally It can be prevented. You can.\" Prevented this from happening. "
Alice told me that she was most concerned about what she heard from Jupiter, and Alice nodded while listening. Her appearance is extremely mysterious, and she seems to be alone with Alice I know.
Just like Heath Cleff, it has always concealed the fact that he is Mao Sae Akihiko. My mentor, with some traces of his creator, smiled quietly.
\ "Kirito classmates are so keen. Sure enough, you can see that Hshzklifu is Mr. Mao Field." \ "
""
\ "Yes, Kirito classmate. I could have stopped Asuna at that time. I could have pointed out her mistake. I could have stopped this situation. \"
Kirito listened to Alice's story quietly. It is really the 75th layer of Ine Gurland. This is like Lilan, who was in the BOSS war, Mao Sae Mingyan guessed that he was the thing that happened to Heath Cleve.
\ "But things do not happen like this. Kirito Jun, humans sometimes experience extreme pain to learn things. At that time, Yasna had Jupiter. I have not realized that I have become a mother. I can tell me that I have told me that I have told me After this, it is impossible to make her realize this. "
Indeed, until now, although Asuna loves Jupiter, it is not clear whether she really understands Jupiter. As a result, Jupiter's constant unreasonable behavior and virus infection. Although Asuna recognized Jupiter, she was still a child, but Alice said that she lacked the consciousness of becoming a mother, which seemed correct.
\ "So I dare to get to Asuna \"
\ "I used the most painful way to do it. Although it is a bit cruel for those children, the effect must be very good. Ah, but if I don’t do this, Asuna will never become Jupiter My biological mother. \ "" I can do it, but I can't convince my family. "
"that's why…"
At this time, Alice took a step forward. He slowly walked to Kirito.
"We shouldn't limit ourselves to these things. What does it mean to be parents? What does it mean to have children? How important it is to understand and treat children." Kirito, you must deceive your child or manipulate him.
... Parents must be very serious about their children. "
Kirito's eyes could not be removed from Alice, who was approaching unconsciously. Alice is what I have been used to see, but now Alice seems to be the kind of educator who is trying to teach things that teach by school teachers. At least Kirito can only think so.
\ "" Kirito Jun, you are the same. You are already the father of Yui. If something happens, you must seriously face Yui. If you plan to make Yui or Strea a sister or brother If you want to really understand the child and guide him on the right road. "
""
"When it comes to becoming a parent, it is important to treat your children seriously instead of deceiving them.
The child has no good or bad from the beginning. According to parents' education, you can be an angel -like person who tried his best to save others, and you can also be a demon -like person who hurt others. What kind of adults do children depend on their parents' ways to raise and understand their children. If the parents make a mistake, the child is likely to make the same mistake.
You are a child who is a father at the age of seventeen, but once it happens, there is no way back. Now that you have become the protector, companion, and father of Shi Nai, you should really understand Yui, her sister, her brother, and raising them. "
Immediately afterwards, Alice gently stretched out his right hand and placed on Kirito's head. His face immediately smiled. What Alice is doing is exactly the same as Kirito's just doing what Plamyle does.
\ "All you want to do is protect Shi Nai, and raise the child born between Yui and Shi Nai. If you are willing to work for this, I will try my best to serve you. I will support you and teach you what I can do. .”
Alice's appearance changed again. This is like an educator who understands the truth, a mother who tries to teach the truth. Unconsciously, Kirito has become Alice's student, even a real child.
\ "I don't need you to tell me what you need to do. Please continue to take care of Shi Nai and Yui, Kirito. I hope you can protect them and raise you and Shi Nai's children. \", Only you. ".
Kirito said nothing. A face of Shino and Yui appeared in my mind and memories with them.
I am actually Shi Nai's husband. It is also the father of Yui Yui. However, I have little understanding of parenting knowledge, and I have not really thought about the meaning of Yu Yi called my dad.
(I am)
Perhaps he was just imitating his father, and this was what people have been saying so far. A few days ago, when I heard that Aima Box in Jiyi, I was surprised that I had so little understanding of Yui. But from now on, the situation will no longer be the case. It is equivalent to knowing his dad by Yui.
And if he and Shi Nai have children, he must face the child seriously. Just like my parents to raise me, I must also raise my child with Yui and Shi Nai.
What I want to do is protect Shi Nai, deal with Yui and her sister or younger brother, and raise her well.
Kirito \/Kirito once again understood what he was going to do and raised his head. I saw Alice's eyes again. There is a soft light there, flashing lightly.
"If you are willing to work hard, I will stand on you no matter what you happen."
Kirito nodded slowly. Immediately afterwards, Alice slowly loosened his hand and turned his eyes to the wall. However, his gaze seemed elsewhere.
\ "Then, Kirito, I heard a good story from No. 7. Regarding the venue after the current venue. \"
"Uh? Can you talk to No. 7?"
"Ah. I won't go through, but when you reach a place called" Tellingville Forest Road ", you will go north. I believe you will find some good things. But now," We go to Ord Look at the Rob Great Forest, we want to defeat the area BOSS. Now, we have to prepare for offense. "
After speaking, Alice left the hotel's corridor.
The next day, he restored his original memory of Jupiter and admitted that they were real parents and children. Asuna spent this time like ready to decide.
Although Jupiter and I can indeed form a parent -child relationship, only one person does not admit it. This person is not someone else, it is his mother apricot.
Xingzi despised Jupiter and continued to do things that unwinanned daughter, Asuna's wishes. This is exactly the same as Yasna trapped in \ "SAO \" when it was called to conquer the demon king. And without changing his attitude, he tried to let Asuna pursue the profession he wanted. Even if Jupiter has been cured now, this has not changed.
However, the captive devil and Shinea Yasana died in the hand of Jupiter's sister Mhhp Lulan, and she found her true herself.
Perhaps, Jupiter, who has restored MHHP's original power, can also provide treatment like that year.
not only. Kyoko forgot what. Maybe she tried to force herself to forget, but there was a thing that Xingzi must not forget.
If I can make her realize what she has forgotten, I might make her feel better, and I might make her realize that she has a reliable grandson.
Asuna remembered everything that Xingzi might forget and told everything to Jupiter.
Jupiter looks the same as before, but the breath has matured a lot, and he understands everything as saying. Jupiter subsequently asked Assina for help and wanted to help.
Jupiter also understood the situation and said he would agree. What you want to do is to take action.
Jupiter was ready the next day. Asuna made a plan in her heart in the school's classroom chat with her friends, and decided to formulate strategies on the way home. I called Jupiter on the train home, told him to go to ALO, and then went home.
When I got home, it was time to eat dinner. However, Asuna did not go to the restaurant, but went to the room of his brother Guangichiro.
After entering the room, I found that Biasa's room here was a lot empty. Yui Yi's furniture was a large desk and a bed with no other furniture. This room shows a businessman's willingness to collect unnecessary things. In such a room, the left side of the table is what I am looking for.
Aisna uses round machines almost every day. It is AMUSPHERE, Koichiro uses it to conduct virtual meetings and see Jupiter.
Regardless of how he stood on my side, Guangichiro made me not use it too casually, so Asuna complained to himself in his hand, and then returned to his room.
Check the memory card inserted into AMUSPHERE itself. There is a "ALO" client installed inside. He may plan to use it to see Jupiter quickly. Jupiter also changed. I believe that when they met again, Guangichiro would be surprised.
With such an idea, Asuna put on Amusphere in Kwary Ichiro, adjusted it to the size of her head, started "ALO", and logged in with her virtual character "Erika", which is the so -called sub -account. .
When I log in in a different way from ordinary ways, the scene is in a small house. It was not in a lonely small house in the tie forest in the corner of the Wintina territory of the "ALO" continent in the "ALO" continent.
I can safely reach my destination. Asuna thought like this and looked out the window. Seeing the cold atmosphere peculiar to the needle forest and Wintini covered by white snow, Asuna felt a relaxed feeling.
Although we have not been able to come over since the conquest of Swaldiahrff, Asuna likes to see the coniferous forests seen from the window of this hut and have been with Jupiter many times. Therefore, Jupiter did not hesitate to come here. If you have restored memory and original features, it is even more that.
Although it has not yet arrived, Jupiter is a person who keeps the promise and Jupiter is a person who can break through the status quo. Asuna fully believed this, and chose to exit and return to the real world.
When I removed AMUSPHERE, the blue light was still flashing. This mode allows you to wear it on your head and turn on the power switch to log in immediately.
All preparations were completed, and Asuna thought, while holding Amusphere towards the restaurant.
The lights of the restaurant are a little dim, and the table is full of luxurious dishes compared to ordinary families. A woman ate quietly.
There is no doubt that Yasuna's mother apricot. Xingzi seemed to have guessed her from the appearance of Asuna, and said with a small and sharp voice.
"It's a bit late, I have eaten it."
"Sorry for being late, I still have something, it's late."
Kyoko's sharp eyes moved silently, focusing on a certain point. Asuna held a Amusphere in his hand. Xingzi replaced the sound with doubtful eyes with Yasna.
"So, I want to know why you brought these things in?"
"I have something to tell my mother. This is what I need for this purpose."
"Did you say it after using it? I don't like it, I can't listen to things that can't be said in person."
Kyoko hates VR. This is the body of Sugan Township. He plans to marry Assna and transform Asuna into something that is not suitable for himself as part of his career. The identity of the molecule implements terrorism.
The most important thing is that Xingzi himself does not seem to be adapted to the VR world, so that she has given up Asuna's application after complaining that she feels dizzy. So Asuna understood the meaning of Xingzi, in general, she would only say sorry for sorry and then shrink back.
However, Asuna doesn't want to say this now. Perhaps he accepted the healing ability of Jupiter unknowingly.
"Listen, mother. I want to see someone and show them something. Please want me to enter the VR world, even if it is only ten minutes, no, only five minutes. So I want to tell me that my mother happened everything of. So, please "
Xingzi frowned and stared at Amusphere. A few seconds later, Xingzi re -turned attention to the food on the table.
"I ask you again after eating, and you can eat it soon. Also, the sooner the application form is submitted, the better, so wait for you to finish, so write the application form." And submit it to me. "
"Yes"
Asuna nodded, sat at the table, and began to eat the food that came up. Perhaps because time is here, what you eat can hardly taste the taste, and it feels like a blink of an eye passed.
After eating all the food and packed the dishes, Asuna and Xingzi went upstairs together, handed AMUSPHERE to Xingzi's study. After receiving, Xingzi stared at Amusphere in disgust.
"I want to know how this is used?"
"Sit on a chair or lie on the bed, then open and press the power switch. It will automatically connect. After entering the VR, don't move and wait."
Jingzi nodded slightly and walked into the study. I opened the door and saw Xingzi sitting deeply on the chair, wearing AMUSPHERE on my head. I pressed the switch according to Asuna's instructions. When the brain connecting the indicator began to flash, Xingzi felt that his energy was exhausted.
After seeing all this, Yasna closed the door, hurried back to her room, lay on the bed, and started AMUSPHERE, who was previously inserted into the A ?? LO memory card. With a "link start", I flew into the immortal world.
When Yasna landed in the fairy world, she was standing there as the goddess Asuna. The location is the same as I used to use Erika before, located in a hut in the needle forest.
After adjusting the position of Elika, I did not forget to send Assna to the same position. Thanks to this, Asuna and Elika are in the same place.
Asuna immediately looked around. Then, in front of the big mirror away from me, I saw a light green and short -haired girl. Elika, she wanted to pretend to be a virtual character used when others, and now frowned at the mirror. This is the clear evidence of Xingzi in it.
"Mother"
"It's a bit strange. The faces and body I don't know move in the way I want. And for some reason, I feel that my body is surprisingly light."
"Yes, the height and weight of that avatar are different from the height and weight of my mother, and it is completely different from reality."
Xingzi, now Elika, looking at her daughter. His expression still seemed to have something strange.
"When you say that, you seem exactly the same as in real life."
"that's right."
This avatar is the conversion of the original avatar in \ "SAO \". This is why, although the color of the hair and eyes is different, but other physical characteristics are the same as the real things, you can deal with it without feeling any discomfort. On the other hand, Apricot, who is completely different from Elika, will definitely feel very uncomfortable.
"Okay, okay. What do you want to talk about? Who do you want me to see? We don't have much time."
When Xingzi no longer joked Asuna, the door of the cabin opened. When the two turned their heads, they saw a teenager standing there.
