"Don't get excited! Listen to me! Chu Yue hurriedly asked Asuna to calm down first.

"This, this, daughter?! Chu Yue, what the hell is going on! "Thankfully, Asuna doesn't seem to have lost her mind.

"Do you remember what I was responsible for among the SAO developers?" Chu Yue said.

"AI program?" Asuna was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Could it be that this child is an AI?" ”

"Hmm......" Chu Yue nodded.

"But, no......," Asuna said, "even if it's an AI, it should belong to an NPC, this kid ......."

"AI is not only used for NPCs," Chu Yue explained, "Some important bosses, monsters, as well as pets and demons, all use the AI system I designed and wrote. ”

"I see...... Asuna nodded, and then continued to ask, "So, is this kid a monster?" Or is it a demon? ”

"Neither, this kid...... Yui she ......" Chu Yue thought for a moment, and then said, "Strictly speaking, it should be GM." ”

"Huh? GM？！ Asuna stood up in surprise.

"Hmm......" Chu Yue nodded, "You sit down first and listen to me slowly." ”

Asuna sat down again and quietly listened to Chu Yue's explanation.

I had never heard Chu Yue talk about the development process of SAO before, so Asuna herself didn't realize that she was actually full of curiosity about this matter.

"In the early stages of game development, some testers reported that their mental state seemed to be affected by the game, so in the follow-up development, I received the development of an AI program that can manage monitoring and protect the player's mental state."

"However, although it is said to have been developed to protect the player's mental state, the mental state is a very illusory thing, right?"

"What I did was just for this AI to prompt the player when the player's mental state was not good, suggest the player to log out of the game, or even directly interfere with the player's spirit."

"However, because the AI program was originally very difficult and the development cycle was relatively short, I didn't actually complete the development of Yui."

"Although I have set up Yui's character in detail, I didn't write a first acquaintance memory for her, but only equipped her with a self-intelligent upgrade system. I hope that after the game starts, Yui will be able to grow into the AI system administrator we need through her own intelligent upgrade system. ”

"After the open beta of the game, I immediately went to the system operation room to call Yui's program, but it failed. The reason is that all the permissions that my administrator has have been deprived. ”

"The one who deprived me of my administrator privileges was Akihiko Kayaba, the general manager of SAO game development."

"Now that I think about it, I should have realized something was wrong at that point, hehe."

"Originally, with Yui, there shouldn't be so many players who committed suicide for various reasons...... Now it seems that Yui's authority was also deprived. ”

"But isn't Yui a GM? Her authority will also be stripped away? Asuna interjected at this time.

"This game has a highest-privileged, well-developed self-management system, called Cardinal, which is just a computer system, not intelligence. It exists to enable the entire SAO to run automatically without human management. Therefore, Cardinal has the highest privileges of any system. ”

"So, you game developers?" Asuna asked.

"This situation is different from cardinal, our developer's permissions are naturally higher than cardinal, but the size of the permissions that everyone has is more or less different, and it is arranged according to our task division."

"That sounds complicated...... Asuna said, rubbing her head.

"Of course...... Such a powerful game that can even replace the real world is naturally extremely complicated to develop. Chu Yue said, and couldn't help but sigh, "So, Kayaba Jinghiko is really a genius...... He's the one in charge. ”

"Akihiko Kayaba......" Asuna couldn't help but grit her teeth as she said the name.

After all, he is responsible for this game accident.

"Yui's full name is," Chu Yue wanted to divert Asuna's attention, and said, "Mental condition management and support program, trial No. 1, program code, Yui." ”

"Yui...... So, Yui's hair is so long, you did it on purpose? Because it's your daughter! Asuna teased Chu Yue and said.

"Well, it's almost......" Chu Yue smiled.

"It's still weird...... though," Asuna said, "Yui, if it's a GM, why is it there?" Isn't it supposed to be somewhere we players can't get to? ”

"This, I guess it's related to Yui's AI system." Chu Yue said, "However, what the specific reason is, I'm afraid we won't know until Yui wakes up." ”

"Hmm." Asuna nodded, and then couldn't help but stretch her body, finally understanding the relationship between Yui and Chu Yue.

"It's a 'daughter,' but that's right." Asuna said with a smile.

"If Yui is a daughter, you're a mother, haha." Chu Yue also smiled.

"Huh?! Mom, Mom? Asuna blushed, "I, I'm not married to you yet!" ”

"I'm not married yet, don't I also treat Yui as my daughter?" Chu Yue said.

"Hmm......" Asuna hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to respond, but still said: "But, if I am a mother, won't it be cheaper for you?" ”

"Hahaha......" Chu Yue laughed, "Asuna is really not easy to fool." ”

Night.

Yui has been sleeping deeply, so Chu Yue and Asuna have not gone out again, and have been staying at home.

At night, when it was time to go to bed, Chu Yue and Asuna found another problem: where to let Yui sleep.

Chu Yue's house only has two bedrooms, a master bedroom and a guest bedroom, the master bedroom is a big bed, and the guest bedroom is a small bed.

However, Asuna disagreed.

"You're embarrassed to sleep with such a young child!" Asuna's eyes changed when she looked at Chu Yue.

"You're definitely crooked about me!" Chu Yue replied with a smile and a smile.

Although Chu Yue did do similar things, such as Lori with Shen Wula, Yue'er, etc., but Yui is both an AI and a daughter, Chu Yue really didn't think much about it.

"Yui is an AI,......" Chu Yue said, "Asuna, you're thinking too much......"

"Hmm...... Anyway, in short, no is no good! Asuna said with a slight blush.

"Alas, okay......" Chu Yue sighed, "I'll go sleep in the guest bedroom, you sleep with Yui in the master bedroom, that's all right?" ”

"Hmm......" Asuna nodded, this was indeed the best way to go.

The night passed quickly.

In the morning, Asuna woke up, and before she had fully opened her eyes, she had already reached out to hug Yui beside her.

However, nothing was touched.

Asuna woke up, widened her eyes, sat up, looked on the bed, and searched the room, but there was no trace of Yui.

"Oh no!" Asuna hurriedly screamed, put on her pajamas, and went to the door of the guest bedroom where Chu Yue slept to knock on the door: "Chu Yue!" Oh no! Yui is gone! ”

But I didn't expect that as soon as I knocked on the door, Chu Yue's door was knocked open, and it seemed that it was not locked last night.

But that's not the point, the point is, as soon as the door opened, Asuna was stunned by the scene in front of her.

In the guest bedroom, on the small single bed, Chu Yue's clothes were tightly attached to Chu Yue's arms, squeezed into the same bed as Chu Yue.

"Huh?" Chu Yue was also woken up by Asuna, rubbed her eyes and sat up: "Asuna, what did you just say?" ”

"Chu, Chu, Chu Yue...... You, you ......" Asuna blushed and pointed to Yui beside Chu Yue and was speechless.

"Huh?" Chu Yue looked down at her bed, and Yui wanted to stretch out her hand: "Dad, Dad...... Hug ......"

"it!" Chu Yue suddenly couldn't hold back.

"Chu Yue !!"

Without waiting for Chu Yue to explain, Asuna had already rushed in front of Chu Yue and slapped Chu Yue in the face......

So, at breakfast time, Chu Yue sat at the table with the face of the injured area in the shape of a slap.

"Hold, I'm sorry......" Opposite Chu Yue, Asuna said to Chu Yue apologetically, "At that time, I don't know why, I thought too much about it at once......"

"Alas......" Chu Yue sighed helplessly.

"Daddy, hug!" Next to him, Yui stretched out her hands towards Chu Yue and said in a somewhat hoarse childish voice.

"Okay, hug, hug......" Chu Yue hugged Yui, and was about to continue eating breakfast after letting go, but heard Yui say, "Dad, hug!" ”

"Huh? Didn't you hug it just now? Chu Yue said.

"Daddy! Hold me, hold me. Yui continued to speak in somewhat unfamiliar language.

"It seems that the language system is not perfect......" Because Asuna was there, Chu Yue deliberately pretended to ignore Yui's words.

"Yui seems to be sticking to you." Asuna said, "She wants you to hold her for breakfast, right?" ”

"Really......" Chu Yue said, looking at Yui.

Yui still stretched out her hands towards Chu Yue, looking like she was begging for a hug.

"Alas......" Chu Yue sighed, picked up Yui, put it on her legs, and then said, "Yui, have a good breakfast!" ”

"Hmm!" The one-word response was clear and fast.

"Then again, does the AI need to eat breakfast too......" Asuna said.

"I don't know......" Chu Yue said, "Theoretically, no...... However, our habits are not good, we can't just eat breakfast and let Yui watch it. ”

"That's right......" Asuna finished and continued to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Yui stuck to Chu Yue and refused to part, and Chu Yue looked a little helpless.

However, even Asuna had never been in such close contact with Chu Yue, and seeing such a Yui with Chu Yue, Asuna was a little envious.

Realizing that she was envious of Yui, Asuna quickly patted her face lightly, brought herself back to her senses, and asked Chu Yue: "Chu Yue, Yui appeared there, could it be that there is something wrong with the system?" ”

"Well, I'm just like an ordinary player now, and I don't know what the problem is." After Chu Yue finished speaking, she asked Yui: "Yui, do you remember what happened before?" ”

"I don't remember." Yui shook her head and said.

"It seems that because of the reason why they came to us, the memory system may have been affected a little bit." Chu Yue said.

And when Chu Yue said this, Yui kept holding on to Chu Yue's clothes.

"......" didn't speak, Asuna just looked at Yui.

Noticing Asuna's eyes, Chu Yue squatted down and said to Yui, "Yui, look at her!" ”

Yui followed Chu Yue's fingers and looked at Asuna.

"She's your mother!" Chu Yue said, "Yui, do you know what a mother is?" ”

Hearing Chu Yue's words, before Yui could react, Asuna blushed first.

"Mom......" Yui looked at Asuna, as if trying to remember what Asuna looked like.

"Hey, Chu Yue......"

"Yui, mom can hug Yui too!" Chu Yue said.

"Mommy......" Yui said, slowly walking in front of Asuna, and then spread her hands: "Hug." ”

Asuna was suddenly bloodied by Yui, and hugged Yui at once: "Hmm! ”

However, it seems that because he was too excited and a little too hard, after letting go of Yui, Yui ran to Chu Yue's side again, and then hid by Chu Yue's side.

"Mom, it hurts to hug!" Yui said.

"Hahaha!" Chu Yue couldn't help but laugh.

And Asuna was a little embarrassed, she seemed to be cute by Yui just now, and then she found that she was not only a little envious of Yui, but also envious of Chu Yue! That's why I didn't pay attention to the strength.

After eating breakfast and playing with Chu Yue for a while, Yui said that she was a little tired, and then fell asleep directly on the sofa in the living room.

At this time, Chu Yue and Asuna walked out of the living room together, stood at the door outside the house, and continued to talk about Yui.

"Yui, it looks like a baby...... "Asuna said, "Chu Yue, you can't write the program wrong, right?" ”

"Yui doesn't have the initial memory...... Chu Yue said, "Moreover, it's been two years since the game was launched, and I don't know what happened during this period." ”

"And, as it stands, even though it's AI, it's no different from us players." Asuna said, "And ...... It's so cute! ”

As she spoke, Asuna clipped her face between her hands and couldn't help but recall the way Yui begged for a hug.

"Yes, yes......" Seeing Asuna's appearance, Chu Yue replied with some embarrassment.

"That's right!" Asuna suddenly said, "Do you have any plans for Chu Yue in the future?" About Yui. ”

"Take care of Yui first, let Yui regain her memory." Chu Yue said, "If only my administrator privileges were still there, I could directly call up the code to see what the problem was." ”

"That'...... When are we going back? Asuna said.

Yui's memories don't know when they will recover, but Chu Yue and Asuna need to return to the front line early.

"It's okay." Chu Yue smiled without concern and said, "I have a hunch that Yui should recover recently." ”

"Hmm!" Asuna believed Chu Yue and nodded vigorously.

So, in the past few days, Yui has been living with Chu Yue and Asuna. And in the lives of Chu Yue and Asuna, after adding Yui, they began to feel like a family.

Yui grows up quickly, and she is well-behaved and obedient, which makes Chu Yue and Asuna love it.

Asuna would also think at night if it would be nice if this kind of time could go on forever......

Such a happy little family......

Unfortunately, such happiness was soon shattered.

Because they had to take care of Yui, Chu Yue and Asuna didn't go out to look for ingredients anymore. After running out of ingredients at home, Chu Yue and Asuna decided to go to the Town of Origin to buy some and come back.

November 18, 2024, Level 1 of Ayn Grant, the Town of the Beginning.

Chu Yue and Asuna respectively took Yui's left and right hands, and took Yui to wander around the central market in the town of Beginning.

"Yui, do you know this?"

Yui looked left and right and shook her head, "I don't know ......"

The town of Beginnings is the most populous place, and there should be more than 2,000 players, so it is relatively prosperous.

While strolling through the street, Asuna suddenly saw a gem set up by a player to sell, and was immediately attracted by the magnificent color, and walked over and asked, "What kind of gem is this?" ”

"It's a fashion processing material!" The stall owner immediately greeted with a smile, "It can be processed into fashion and used as a decoration for fashion." Miss, you are so beautiful, it must be for you! ”

Asuna was looking at the gem here, but Yui suddenly pulled Chuyue's hand, pointed to the other side and said, "Dad, there!" ”

"Huh?" Chu Yue looked at the place where Yui was pointing, which was the entrance of a small alley, so she asked Yui, "What's wrong?" ”

"There...... Someone needs help......" Yui continued.

Chu Yue immediately remembered the plot in the anime and said to Asuna, "Asuna! This way! ”

As he spoke, he pulled Yui and ran down the alley.

Asuna knew the severity, so she immediately gave up bargaining with the stall owner and ran towards the alley.

This alley was winding and winding, much deeper than it looked, and it wasn't until Chu Yue and Asuna ran to the deepest part together that they realized that there were really people here who needed help.

Among the guilds in the game now, the Blood Alliance is recognized as the strongest guild, but the guild with the largest number of people is the guild called ALF (Army).

Because the guild members claim to want to liberate the players from this game, the guild members are also called the People's Liberation Army.

However, because the number of guilds is too large, it is of course impossible to implement the management in place, and the reputation of the army among players is mixed.

Deep in the alley, several members of the army surrounded the three young children and forced them to hand over their money and equipment.

Of course, the purpose of these scum in the army is not these three children, but their guardian, Sasha.

At this time, the three children were blocked in the innermost part by several members of the army, and Sasha was standing outside.

"You've been in arrears for a long time." One of the members said to Sasha.

"You have to hand over all the money and equipment."

"And the armor, from head to toe, oh......"

"You guys......" Sasha knew that these people were here to find trouble for her, and reached out and grabbed the sword at her waist, "Get out of the way for me, or I'll ......"

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, Asuna's voice interrupted the situation.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at the three people who had just run into the alley: Asuna, Yui, and Chu Yue.

"Hey, it's none of your business here! Hurry up and get out! One of the members of the army immediately shouted to the three Asuna.

"Isn't this Sasha?" Chu Yue suddenly noticed that this girl with a little pockmarks on her face was not the one she had helped when she and Asuna had just met!

"Chu Yue! Miss Asuna! Sasha didn't expect that she would meet Chu Yue and Asuna again at this time.

"It's really Miss Sasha!" Asuna was also a little surprised, but she didn't expect that it was Sasha who had helped her here.

"How did you get here?" Sasha asked, turning around.

Before Asuna and Chu Yue could answer, the people on the army side couldn't help but shout, "Hey, hey, what are you!" How dare you obstruct our army from carrying out its mission! ”

"Wait......" a man who appeared to be the leader of this squad stepped forward and said, "Although I haven't seen you, you should understand what it means to defy the PLA!" ”

With that, the captain drew his weapon.

"......" Asuna's eyes immediately changed when she looked at these people, and she turned back to Chu Yue and said, "Chu Yue, don't make a move." ”

"No problem." Chu Yue took Yui's hand and said.

Asuna walked past Sasha and walked straight towards the group.

"Don't worry." Chu Yue pulled Yui and walked to Saxia's side, "If you don't apply for a duel in the circle, your HP won't be reduced." ”

"Even so, it's too dangerous for Miss Asuna to go alone!" Sasha said immediately.

"Huh?" Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled, "Haha!" Do you think I'm trying to advise you not to worry about Asuna? I mean, you don't have to worry about Asuna going to be too hard. ”

"Huh?" This time it was Sasha's turn to be surprised, but immediately, there was a wailing from the side of the army.

"Wow!" Several people shouted at once.

The people of these armies are Asuna's opponents, and there is no damage caused by HP, but Asuna has no mercy at all, and she almost pees out after beating these people in a few strokes.

In the end, these military personnel, who finally knew that they had kicked the iron plate, spread their legs and ran out of the alley.

Asuna then put away her thin sword and shook her bangs.

"Okay, so strong......" Sasha said at this time.

Several children were finally rescued. Seeing that Asuna had taught the group of people just now, the three children were going to treat Asuna as an idol at this time, and thanked Asuna while saying their admiration.

Being complimented like this by a few children, Asuna was embarrassed.

"Thank you so much, Miss Asuna." Sasha also came up to Asuna and said, "If you don't come, I don't know what to do." ”

"That being said, I just saw you holding your sword." Chu Yue said with a smile.

"I, do I have ......" Unexpectedly, being made a joke by Chu Yue, Sasha blushed.

"Miss Sasha......" said Asuna,

"Huh?"

"Ah, it's alright...... "Asuna said, "Is Miss Sasha still in the Town of Initiation?" ”
