Chapter 32: Happy to Be a Father*2, Happy to Be a Mother*2

"But...... If there is a guardian...... If the child is lost, he will probably publish a missing person notice in the newspaper, right? Although it is possible for friend tracking to ......"

"yes...... Maybe the guardian doesn't know that there are friends tracking him, right? ”

"Anyway...... Let's read the newspapers......"

However, Ye Chi and Asuna only subscribed to one newspaper...... It's Argo's newspaper - because at least it's pretty informative about the progress of the Raiders...... Then they don't have much more to know...... They're on vacation + honeymoon right now......

So Ye Chi, who had the fastest walk, went to the main street to buy newspapers...... Originally, Ye Chi protested that as long as the crystal was transferred, everyone would be the same, but it was rejected by several people on the grounds that "the price of crystal is much more expensive than the newspaper......

"Really...... Can't you use crystals to refute the return trip...... It's like I'm short of money......"

Although Ye Chi muttered, the speed was really fast, and he came back from the main block in less than an hour......

"No......"

"Ibid......"

"Me ...... too"

β€œ+1……”

It took the four of them more than ten minutes to read all the newspapers......

Actually, this newspaper is quite sci-fi...... Although it is called a newspaper, it is not the same as a stack of paper in the real world, but it is only a piece of parchment the size of a magazine. There is a system window-type screen on the surface of the paper, and the collected information can be displayed in the mode of a web page.

Because it's a player-run game guide site, the content is very diverse, from news to simple guides, FAQs, and item lists. There are also fields to find things and people.

But there is no information about the loss of girls with similar characteristics, and there are several people who ask for marriage......

"Why don't you do this today......" Ye Chi saw that it was not early, "It's almost dark?" The boy has no intention of waking up...... Right? Why don't you stay? If the child wakes up tomorrow...... How about we go to the City of Starts? ”

"Well, not very willingly...... But it's good to have Asuna's dinner......" Liz raised her hand in agreement......

Then Kirito's opinion was ignored......

Dinner is actually quite simple...... Soup, bread and Asuna's special hamburger meat......

Ye Chi's house has a living room that can be called a large one. So although the layout is about the same, Ye Chi's family is much bigger than the Tong family......

Why do you say this?

This starts with the assignment of the bedrooms.

Because there was an extra little Lori, the two big men were blasted out of the bedroom......

Little Lori occupies a bed by herself, Asuna and Liz squeeze one, and the two boys sleep on the sofa......

"I said...... What else are you dissatisfied with......" Ye Chi lay on the sofa with his arms on his pillow, squinting at Kirito who was turning over and over......

"Don't make it...... I always feel like something isn't going to be good......"

"You're not happy...... Obviously, we're on our honeymoon......" Ye Chi said helplessly...... "and you can't do such and such things......"

"What?" "No, nothing...... Anyway, if Liz were Lily, wouldn't I be at a loss? ”

"Shut up! Go to bed! Kirito seems to have thought of this possibility...... I just don't want to think about it.

Asuna fell asleep in the morning white light, and a steady melody suddenly came to her senses. It's the wake-up of the oboe. Asuna was in the sense of floating before she woke up, committed to the melody of nostalgia. Soon the lilting sound of the stringed instruments and the clarinet played the main melody, and there was a slight humming of the songβ€”

- Hum a song?

She opened her eyes suddenly, and Liz was caught wrapped around her arm like an octopus, and ......

A pair of large, dark eyes that almost occupy this field of vision.

The girl was humming to the same tune as the alarm clock, without dropping the beat......

It's simply impossible. Because Asuna set the noise so that only she could hear it, it stands to reason that no one could hum along with the melody that only played in her head.

Asuna, however, put the doubt behind her mind for now. More important than that –

"Liz, Liz, wake up!" It took a lot of effort for her to get Liz off herself.

"What...... Good morning Asuna......" Liz's hair was disheveled, the corners of her mouth seemed to be saliva, and her pajamas hung diagonally over her shoulders, revealing her delicate collarbones...... Below? Is there anything else to reveal?

Okay, Liz isn't flat-chested......

"Wow! You're awake! Lizzy suddenly turned from lying on the bed to kneeling like a corpse, looking at the nameless girl in surprise.

The moist black pupils met Asuna and Liz's gaze at close range. After blinking his eyes a few times, he opened his lips slightly and pale slightly.

"Ah...... Woo......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Great, you're awake. Do you know what happened to you?"

After Asuna finished speaking, the girl was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head slightly.

"Really...... What about your name? You know what?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Name...... Word...... I...... It's mine...... Name......"

The girl tilted her head sideways, and a shiny black hair followed her cheeks.

"Knot...... Clothing. Yui. It's mine...... Name......"

"Yui? What a good name. I'm Asuna, she's Liz Bet, just call her Liz. ”

Asuna turned her head, and the girl named Yui also turned her gaze. She looked back and forth at Asuna and Liz, who was only out of her upper body, and then spoke:

"Ah...... Roof, ...... Child. ”

He moved his mouth and made a staccato sound. The uneasiness she felt last night awakened in Asuna's mind. The girl seems to be at least eight years old, and the actual age should be ten years old since the time of login. But the girl's vague words are the same as those of a toddler who is just beginning to speak.

"Yui, why are you on the twenty-second floor? Do you know where your parents are?"

Yui looked down without saying a word. After a long period of silence, he shook his head vigorously.

"I ...... I don't know...... What, I don't know, I don't know ......."

He carried the girl to the dining table and chair and handed her warm and sweet milk. The girl held the cup in both hands and drank it one by one. Looking at the girl with her peripheral vision, Asuna discussed it with the remaining three.

"Traumatic Stress Disorder Syndrome (PTSD), right? Like protective amnesia after witnessing the killing of a loved one? As soon as Ye Chi came up, he said the most cruel possibility.

"Impossible, right? I've heard of PTSD, even if it's amnesia...... You can still talk neatly, right? Asuna was the first to object

"Kirito...... What do you think ......?"

Kirito bit his lip with a serious expression, and soon lowered his head and said:

"It seems to be...... Lost memory. More seriously, though, judging by the way she looks...... Maybe it's trauma ......"

"I think Kirito thinks so too!"

"But it's not as serious as you! This child is defenseless and has no armor, and if someone kills her guardian, there is no reason to keep her! ”

"But...... Although in this world...... I have seen many cruel scenes...... But it's terrible, it's cruel......" Asuna muttered.

"Peace of mind, it's probably just ordinary protective amnesia, right?" Liz comforted a few people like a silly big sister, but there was a gloom on her face.

As if trying to prove that Yui was okay, Liz clicked and moved a chair to sit next to Yui and smiled cheerfully:

"That's, Yui...... Can I just call you Yui?"

Yui, who was originally facing the cup, picked up her face and nodded.

"That's right. Then, Yui will just call me Liz."

"Leave ...... Sub"

"It's Liz, Liz."

Yui's face showed a difficult expression and fell silent.

"Reason...... ......"

Liz smiled widely and rubbed her little head.

"This might be a little harder for you. Otherwise, you can call it whatever you want. ”

Yui was once again in a long state of thought, and even Asuna took the cup from the table, filled it with milk, and put it back in front of her, but she didn't react.

Finally, Yui slowly looked up at Liz's face and spoke tremblingly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Father. ”

Then he looked up at Asuna and said:

"Awu...... Mom. ”

Asuna was moved to tears, and Liz was speechless......

Kirito couldn't help but laugh the side...... Ye Chi looked helpless......

"Don't rejoice too soon! According to this algorithm, I'm her father, which is fine, but you're her mother......"

Kirito's expression instantly stiffened......

It's finally time to get to the place...... However, I didn't start reporting for duty......

So the original update uncertainty has not changed......

Just think it was yesterday......
