"Do you really want to take it all off?" Chu Yue looked at Dr. Kurahashi with a very distrustful gaze.

"Yes." Dr. Kurahashi nodded with a serious expression.

In front of the biological disinfection room, Chu Yue and Dr. Kurahashi talked like this.

But I always feel that you are deliberately making things difficult for me Chu Yue......

Chu Yue said so in her heart, but she still obediently took off her clothes. There's no way, other people's laboratories can do whatever they want.

Chu Yue took off her clothes here, and the gods around her actually took off as well.

Doctor Kurahashi, who was originally watching Chu Yue take off his clothes seriously, saw that the little girl who was with Chu Yue was also taking off, and suddenly his face couldn't hold back, and he turned around and prepared to leave here.

Just after taking two steps, Doctor Kurahashi turned his back to Chu Yue and Kannai and said, "It will be very uncomfortable after entering, you have to bear with it...... Also, when you come out of there, you go to wear a sterile gown. ”

With that, Dr. Kurahashi continued to leave the small room in front of the bio-sterilization room.

Chu Yue and Shen Wu finished undressing, opened the door in front of the biological disinfection room and walked in.

"So, the preparation begins." Dr. Kurahashi's voice came through the stereo.

Then, Chu Yue and Shen Wu underwent a human biological disinfection treatment...... It feels the same as the human body disinfection in EVA......

It's just that whether it is the well-informed Chu Yue or the paralyzed Kanna, they are not as embarrassed as Yodo Shinji and them.

After the disinfection, Chu Yue and Shen Wu opened the door of the exit opposite the entrance and walked into a dressing room.

There are already two sets of clothes in the locker room, which are the sterile gowns that Dr. Kurahashi said. It is said to be a sterile suit, but it actually looks similar to a straitjacket.

After wearing two sets of tights with Kanna, the figure is undoubtedly revealed.

Looking at Shenna's airport, Chu Yue couldn't help but smile. Then he was lightly hammered with his fist by Kanna......

Stepping out of another door in the locker room, I entered the sterile room equipped with Medicuboid where Yuki was.

"Ah, Yuki doesn't seem to be able to see us here." Chu Yue said.

"Hmm." On the other side of the glass, Dr. Kurahashi stood at the place where Chu Yue and Shen Wu visited at the beginning, "Kapok Ji uses the camera over there to observe in the default world of Medicuboid, Teacher Chu Yue, you are now by Kapok Ji's side, in the blind spot of the camera. ”

"That's ......" Chu Yue looked at Kapok Ji lying on the bed, thought about it, and said to Dr. Kurahashi: "Doctor Kurahashi, can you let Kapok Ji temporarily unload Medicuboid?" ”

"Teacher Chu Yue! Don't go too far! Dr. Kurahashi was really angry this time, "It's already my greatest tolerance to let you and that kid enter the sterile room!" ”

"I'm sorry, I just think that I've already come to Kapok Ji's side, but I still can only see Yuki in the completely stealth equipment, which is a bit of a pity." Chu Yue had expected Dr. Kurahashi's anger, so she still said calmly.

......Seeing Chu Yue who was so calm, Dr. Kurahashi became much less angry, pushed the glasses on his nose and said, "Even if you unload Medicuboid during the Kapok season at this time, you won't be able to communicate with Teacher Chu Yue normally." ”

Of course, it takes a long time for ordinary people to get used to returning to the real world after a long period of complete stealth, not to mention Yuki, who is now about to come to the end of his life.

"So...... Let's have a good talk when we get back. Chu Yue held one of Yuki's hands with both hands, "Although you can't see it, you can still hear it, right?" ”

"Yes." Dr. Kurahashi replied to Chu Yue, "The sterile room is also within the range of microphone capture. ”

In the initial space of the Medicuboid, Yuki seemed to be able to really feel Chu Yue's hands holding one of his hands.

It was a pair of warm, reassuring hands.

At this time, Kanna walked to Yuki's other side and held Yuki's other hands.

"Yuki can't see it." Chu Yue smiled at Shen Wu and said.

Shen Wu didn't speak, so Chu Yue said to Yu Ji, "Yu Ji, Shen Wu also came in, she is on your other side at this time, holding your other hand." ”

"Kanna, Chu Yue ......" Yuki turned on the stereo again.

"Although we have only been together for a short time, I don't know you very well." Chu Yue said, "However, I can feel that you have a charming heart. ”

"Whoever you are, you'll be attracted to your charming heart." Chu Yue smiled, "Don't forget, Kanna and I are still members of the 'Sleeping Knight'." ”

"For example, if ...... It's good that I didn't invite you at that time. Yuki also spoke, "Now, it will only increase your sadness......"

"Is that why you've been deliberately keeping your distance from us in the game?" Chu Yue smiled and said, "No, Yuki. Even if we hadn't been invited, Kanna and I would have met you in the same way and would have helped you...... Definitely, come here. ”

"Huh?" Yuki asked strangely, "Why, say that?" ”

"Because this is, fate." Chu Yue said.

"Destiny...... Isn......" However, the word seems to have caused some bad memories for Yuki.

"Yuki, do you believe in fate?" Chu Yue suddenly asked.

"I ...... I do not know. Yuki said, "My mother is a Christian, and she always told us that fate is not like this, but ...... She was also the first of us to leave. ”

"We ...... It's you and your sister. Chu Yue said.

"Hmm."

"Yuki, I'm a believer in fate." Chu Yue said.

"Chu Yue?" Yuki was a little surprised. Such a Chu Yue actually said that he believed in fate?

"I believe that everything is fixed in the dark. But ......" Chu Yue changed her words, "The reason why 'fate' is fascinating is because we mortals never know what the next 'fate' will look like. ”

"......" Hearing Chu Yue say this, Yuki was silent.

Yuki didn't agree with Chu Yue, because Yuki himself was a good example. Will there be other consequences of the death that is about to be faced?

"Now, Yuki." Chu Yue suddenly said again: "Do you remember? Did I ever say, 'After the new ALO, no one knows my name?' ”

Yuki remembered that Chu Yue was at the door of the boss's room.

"Chu Yue...... I guess it's not an ordinary person. Yuki said, "It's not just the strong in the game. There must be a very powerful character in the display. ”

The reality that Yuki knows comes from Mr. Kurahashi's communication. Yuki is saying this now, it should be that Mr. Kurahashi has revealed something.

"Does Yuki know about the SAO game?" Chu Yue asked.

“SAO？ That one...... Game of Death? Yuki asked with some surprise.

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, "I am one of the survivors of SAO. ”

"Huh?! Chu Yue, unexpectedly ......" Yuki looked surprised.

"Not only that, but I'm also a member of ARGUS and was involved in the development of SAO, mainly responsible for AI-related content." Chu Yue said.

"Okay, that's amazing...... Yuki said, "Then, this Medicuboid is also ...... with Chu Yue"

"This ...... I don't. Chu Yue smiled awkwardly, "Medicuboid is a hardware device, developed by that genius quantum physicist, Akihiko Kayaba. ”

"That's ......," Yuki said.

In SAO, players also have to face death. Death in the game means the end of life in reality.

Yuki sometimes thinks about what kind of adventures he will have after entering SAO.

"No wonder Chu Yue was able to find this place...... Yuki said, "It turns out that Chu Yue has such a talent." ”

"You're the same." Chu Yue said, "Youji, you also have talents......

"My talents?" Yuki asked suddenly.

"I feel it from your fight." Chu Yue said, "Youji, you are a darling who is completely stealthy. That's your talent. ”

"Yes......" Yuki said, "Actually, my sister is stronger than me, several times stronger." ”

"It's called...... Ranko Konno, right? Chu Yue said.

"Hmm." Yuki replied, "In the beginning, there were nine of us. However, then my sisters, Kulobis, Merida all died, and there were three people missing. ”

"That's why we're talking about leaving some proof of our existence before another person dies." Yuki said, "Then, we heard that there was a memorial stone tablet in the game called ALO that left a name. ”

"I actually want to give this memory as a gift to my sister." Yuki said, "It didn't go well at first, but thanks to Chu Yue and Shen Wu......"

"In the past few years, my fellow Sleeping Knight and I have traveled to many different worlds and experienced many different worlds." Yuki's hand also seemed to hold Chu Yue and Shen Wu's hands.

"The memories on the last page, I am really, really happy to be able to create them with Chu Yue and Shen Wu."

"This won't be the last memory." Chu Yue said with a smile.

"No, it won't be." Shen Wu suddenly repeated Chu Yue's words.

At this time, Mr. Kurahashi knocked on the glass, and then said, "Teacher Chuyue, it's almost time." ”

"Okay, I'll say a few last words." Chu Yue said.

Mr. Kurahashi nodded to Chu Yue, "Not too long." ”

Chu Yue nodded, then turned her head and said to Youji, "Youji, what if...... I mean, if you're cured, is there anything you want to do? ”

"Really? That's ...... question," Yuki thought for a moment and said, "It's really, too much......"

"So, let's talk about what I want to do the most." Chu Yue smiled.

"What I want to do the most is to go to school." Yuki said, "I've always wanted to go to school, to be with my classmates, to study, to play, to participate in clubs, and even to fall in love, and to have a graduation festival...... Just like a normal student......"

"Then ......" Chu Yue gently put Yuki's hand down, "When Yuki recovers from your illness, let's go to school with Amena." ”

"Huh? Tomorrow? "At this time, Yuki doesn't know Asukina yet.

"I almost forgot to say it." Chu Yue said, "Tomorrow, she is the one I met in SAO, except for Kanna, my other girlfriend!" ”

"Huh?!" Yuki cried out in surprise for a while.

"See you next time, then." After Chu Yue finished speaking, she walked towards the door. Kanna also let go of Yuki and followed behind Chu Yue.

“……”

It wasn't until Chu Yue and Shen Wu walked out of the room where Yuki was that Yuki reacted, and said to himself, "Well, goodbye......"

Putting on their original clothes, Chu Yue and Kanna came to the hospital corridor.

Mr. Kurahashi was already waiting in the corridor, and when he saw Chu Yue and Kanai walking out, he came over and said, "That...... Teacher Chu Yue ......"

"Huh?"

With a red face and hesitated for a moment, Mr. Kurahashi still bent down towards Chu Yue and said, "Thank you!" ”

"Thank you for what I'm doing." Chu Yue said, "I should be thankful for it, thank you Dr. Kurahashi for letting me meet Yuki." ”

Dr. Kurahashi straightened up and said, "Although I am the attending doctor of Kapok Ji...... No, it's not just Kapok Ji, I'm also the attending doctor of Ranko Konno...... But I didn't do anything for them. ”

"However, Teacher Chu Yue, you are really helping Kapok Ji. I'm really ...... compared to you."

"What did Dr. Kurahashi say?" Chu Yue stretched out her hand and patted Dr. Kurahashi on the shoulder, "If it weren't for you, if I came here now, maybe I wouldn't have been able to see the Kapok season." ”

"That being said, I ......," Dr. Kurahashi closed his eyes, and continued, "Actually, she will only have three months to do so......

"I don't know when, her condition will deteriorate......"

"Dr. Kurahashi." Chu Yue suddenly said, "Let's make a bet." ”

"What?"

"Bet on whether her condition will get better during the kapok season." Chu Yue said.

Dr. Kurahashi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, not knowing what kind of expression to show.

"Impossible, Teacher Chu Yue...... If it was the early days of AIDS, it would be fine, but now the kapok season has ......."

"If I lose," Chu Yue said, "I'm willing to join your Medicuboid research without asking for anything in return." ”

Dr. Kurahashi was stunned for a moment, and reflexively said, "Really?!" If there is the help of Teacher Chu Yue......"

"But if I win." Chu Yue interrupted Dr. Kurahashi and said, "Just tell me everything you know about the Konno sisters and the twins." ”

Doctor Kurahashi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and stretched out his hand towards Chu Yue-

"It's settled."

Chu Yue reached out and shook hands with Dr. Kurahashi.

"Hmm."

After coming out of the hospital, it was already getting late, Chu Yue looked at Kanna, and said to Kanna, "Let's find a hotel to stay in first, and then go back tomorrow." ”

Kanna nodded, and the two went to find a hotel together.

In the hotel room, no one was taking a bath, and Chu Yue was lying on the bed, holding a mobile phone and saying, "Yui." ”

"Yes, Dad." Yui appears on the screen of her phone.

"Can you still find Akihiko Aoba?" Chu Yue asked.

"This ...... The last time I came across it by chance, it may not be easy to find it if you want to actively look for it. Yui replied.

"Hmm...... Give it a try. Chu Yue said, "After you go back tomorrow, I'll help you upgrade your algorithm so that the search can be faster." ”

"Okay, Dad!" Yui replied.

"It's time to cash in." Chu Yue seemed to be talking to herself, "Kayaba Jinghiko." ”

"Chu Yue......" Shen Wu came out of the bathroom and lay down beside Chu Yue, "Have you already treated Yuki?" ”

"Well, there's actually nothing cured." Chu Yue said, "I just strengthened Yuki's immune system. ”

"Strengthen?" Kanna doesn't seem to understand very well.

"AIDS itself is not deadly, it's just ......," Chu Yue said, "that the HIV virus attacks people's immune system and causes people to die from other diseases." ”

"If Yuki's illness is directly cured, it will be too suspicious." Chu Yue said, "However, if you do this, you can let Yuki recover slowly." In that case, it must be called a miracle. ”

"A medical miracle?" God didn't think of a single word.

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded, "This is also a slow recovery for Yuki, and it is also a little better for her body." ”

"But then, I'm going to get busy." Chu Yue said to Shen Wu, "I may not be able to continue to accompany you in the new ALO, Shen Wu." ”

Kanna nodded.

Ask nothing, say nothing.

This is Kanna.

Chu Yue couldn't help but smile and touched Shen Wu's head.

"God is gone, we haven't let go of it for a long time, have we? Tonight, let's have a good time! ”

……

After returning to Saitama from Yokohama, Chu Yue sat in front of the computer for several days in a row. Until everyone was busy with the New Year's affairs and returned to the game.

In Chu Yue's house, where the freshman Ain Grant was, everyone else was there at this time, except for Chu Yue.

However, Yuki and Kiritto fall asleep on the living room couch leaning against each other, Lizbet and Lifa sitting on their living room chairs reading a book, Asuna and Celica doing their homework in the bedroom, and Shino and Kanna practicing shooting outside the house.

In the bedroom, not long after doing her homework, Sirika couldn't help but fall asleep and leaned on Asuna's shoulder.

"Ho! If you fall asleep now, you won't be able to sleep again at night. Asuna smiled and touched Celica's cat ears, "There are only three days left for the winter vacation, so you have to finish your homework quickly." ”

Celica stretched, yawned and said, "I'm so tired......"

"Shino finished all her homework when she was at home.,Now I'm playing outside with my sister Kanna.。 When you're done, you can go along. ”

"Why don't you go out now...... "I'm too tired to do it...... Maybe you'll be more sober when you go outside. ”

"I can't help it...... "then, let's go out and stay for a while, and let us get rid of our sleep." ”

It was still snowing outside the house, and Kanna and Shino were carrying a bow on their backs, and they didn't know what was in the forest as a target to practice.

After Asuna and Silica came out, Shino said, "Oh? Done with homework? ”

"Not yet." Asuna smiled and said, "Celica is so tired, come out for a walk." Anyway, what are you guys shooting? ”

Asuna said as Cerica ran out of the house and played in the snow outside.

"Snow." God doesn't say.

"Huh?"

"We're shooting more snowflakes than anyone." Shino said with a smile.

"Snow, snowflakes?!" Asuna was surprised and said, "Is this okay?" ”

"Snowflake movement is actually very slow, not as difficult as imagined." Shino said.

"Uh......" Asuna was speechless.

At this time, Lizbet also walked out gently, saw everyone, smiled and said, "Lifa is also asleep." ”

"Everyone looks tired." Shino said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Chu Yue go online." Lizzebert said, "What has he been up to lately?" ”

"Hmm." Kanna just nodded, but didn't answer.

"It's like there's something going on in reality." Asuna said, "He didn't go into detail with me either. ”

"Shino, you've been in your hometown in Kyoto lately, so I don't know." Lizzebet said, "After the New Year, Chu Yue hasn't been online for almost a week, right?" ”

"A week? It's been so long. Asuna said with some surprise.

"I heard that on the first day of the new year, I went to challenge a forum and posted a challenge post, and the name seems to be ...... After Yuki's girl, she didn't go online much. ”

"Then, it must be with Sister Kanna, right?" Asuna smiled and said to Kanna.

Kamino nodded.

"Could it be that Yuki's girl is too strong?" Asuna asked.

Kanna continued to nod.

"Huh...... Is it a very strong female player?,It's quite rare.。 Asuna said.

Because Chu Yue hadn't told the girls what they were doing, and Shen Wu didn't speak, the women talked for a long time, but in the end they still didn't know what Chu Yue was busy with recently.

It was almost time to quit the game, and Asuna remembered that Sirika hadn't been back since she came out to play.

However, it was indeed not too early, and after everyone said goodbye to each other, they quit the game one by one.

At this time, Yokohama Kohoku General Hospital.

Dr. Kurahashi hurried to the hospital and came to his office.

"What the hell is it that called me here so late?" Dr. Kurahashi asked the nurse who was already waiting in his office.

"This ......" the nurse thought for a moment and placed a medical data report on Dr. Kurahashi's desk, "Dr. Kurahashi, you can just take a look at this." ”

Dr. Kurahashi took the report and looked at it, his glasses getting bigger and bigger.

"This ...... How is this possible? Dr. Kurahashi said incredulously, "When did you notice this change?" ”

"We don't know exactly when." The nurse replied, "Probably, since the last time Dr. Kurahashi took someone to visit Miss Kapok, Miss Kapok's body has begun to undergo these changes." ”

"Teacher Chu Yue? His profession has nothing to do with medicine. Dr. Kurahashi said, "Is that ...... Is there really going to be a miracle? ”

"At first, we thought it was due to measurement errors." The nurse said, "But the data is now too far out of the margin of error, so the hospital called you." ”

“……”

After being silent for a while, Dr. Kurahashi picked up the report again and looked at it, and then asked, "How is Kapok Ji herself, did she say anything?" ”

"Yes...... "The nurse said with some uncertainty, "lately, Miss Kapok Ji seems to have often said that she seems to be a little hungry...... However, with the supplement of nutrient solution, you should not be hungry......"

"Stupid! There have already been such changes, and the previous nutrient solution is definitely not enough! Dr. Kurahashi said, "I'll go see her first, and you can change the ratio of the nutrient solution according to the situation." ”

"Yes!" The nurse replied.
