Chapter 30: Heart
"Asuna, when we met Yui, we knew that Yui didn't have any logo on the top of her head, right?"
"Kiritoro, didn't you say there should be some BUG?"
"Asuna, I don't know if you've played other games before, there is a kind of person whose identity is not identified......"
As soon as Mouton's words fell, Asuna looked down at Yui in her arms in disbelief...... You mean...... How could it be ......"
"Let's take one step at a time, let's talk about it when Yui wakes up, it's just an inference at the moment." Mouton said this just to give Asuna a vaccination in advance, looked around, and said, "Find a hotel first so that Yui can rest well." ”
"That's all there is to it." Holding Yui in her arms, Asuna and Mouton walked briskly towards the hotel.
By the time Yui woke up, it was already the morning of the next day, and the two of them were very happy as they quietly looked at Yui lying on the bed.
"Yui...... You...... Did you remember something? Asuna asked with concern, holding Yui's small hand.
"Mom and Dad...... I...... I remembered it all. ”
Yui's small hands tugged at the sheets, and as she spoke, her eyes were already filled with rich moisture.
"I remembered......"
Asuna shuddered, and Mouton took Asuna's hands, trying to calm Asuna a little.
Sitting aside, Mouton grabbed Yui's small hand, and the three of them held it tightly together, before he said slowly: "Yui, I have probably guessed your identity." ”
"The world we live in is called SwordArtOnline, and the entire game is run by a huge system......"
Mouton recounted the memories in his mind, while looking at Yui who looked a little flustered, paused slightly, and said: "The name of this management system is Cardinal, which is designed with the concept of no human maintenance, and it can adjust the balance of sao according to its own judgment, in addition to adjusting the currency generation, item explosion rate, there is also a management ...... the player's mental condition."
"Daddy...... You ......" Yui looked at Mouton sitting next to her, looking incredulous, making Mouton smile.
Touching Yui's head, Mouton said again: "Yui, you should be an intelligent AI program that manages the mental condition of players......"
"I don't know how you know, Dad, but Dad, you're right......"
"It's true...... Asuna covered her mouth with one hand, shocked.
"There's a question I want to ask Dad...... If Dad knows this, why did you bring me back in the forest......" Yui asked with her hands folded around her knees, looking down in distraction.
"Well, this question, your mother and I saw such a little girl lying there, naturally it is impossible to see death without saving it...... Besides......" Mouton changed his tone and said, "Besides, Yui is the identity of a daughter in the eyes of father and mother, and Yui is not a program." ”
"But...... Yui's body, and tears...... It's all fake......" Yui said with a trilling voice, her little body was about to shrink into a ball, and the water vapor that had been entrenched in her eyes flowed out uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Mouton sighed, reached out and hugged Yui, and said: "In this world, even the bodies of our players are fake, naturally, the tears that come out are also fake, and we are no different from Yui, right?" ”
"Kayaba Jinghiko, he is indeed a genius who has created this virtual world like the real world, but there is only one thing, even if he can create it, there is no way to copy it, and that is feelings." Mouton stretched out his hand and put the hands of the three of them together, and said, "Yui has been with us for the past two days, is the relationship between us fake?" We all come from the heart, and my mother loves Yui very much. ”
"Yui is a real little girl in the hearts of her father and mother, not some intelligent AI, and Yui has the same rich feelings as humans." Asuna picked up Yui's hands and gently pressed them against the side of her cheeks: "Yui, you can feel the warmth of your mother, right......"
"Hmmm......"
"Mom and Dad love Yui, Yui, do you like Mom and Dad?"
"I like it very much!" Yui had tears on her cheeks, hugged Mouton tightly and cried out, "Yui likes Mom and Dad the most, I like it the most." ”
The grievances and negative emotions hidden in the unbridled crying were all vented at this moment, and Yui's continuous tears wet Mouton's clothes.
"Yui...... I really want to be with my mom and dad forever...... I really want to be with mom and dad forever. ”
"We'll be together forever and ever, Yui."
The three of them hugged each other, and Asuna's eyes were filled with tears.
The cries of Asuna and Yui's mother and daughter resounded throughout the hotel room, and although Mouton had given Asuna a precautionary shot before, he didn't expect that Asuna's feelings for Yui were so strong, and what about herself...... Seeing the mother and daughter crying silently, Mouton clenched his fists, why wasn't he like this......
"Mom and Dad...... I'm sorry...... Because of the recovery of memory, there is some reason, the system has detected my abnormality, I violated the system's commands, and it is a foreign object for the system...... I'm going to be eliminated soon......" Yui held the arms of the two of them stiffly, and fell into the arms of the two of them with reluctance in her tone.
"Will it be eliminated?"
Asuna's delicate body trembled, and even cried.
Mouton's arm trembled, it was Akihiko Kayaba intervening in it...... Clenched into fists, Mouton looked at the two of them.
"Yui, Asuna, don't worry, I've figured out a way to solve it."
"What's the solution?"
"Daddy......"
"Look at me."
Mouton took a deep breath, took Yui's small hand, and drew out a list of his personal information, his eyes suddenly lost his look, Mouton was communicating with the shuttle system!
"System, when Yui is eliminated by the system, can Yui's program body be separated from the Cardinal system and materialized?"
"The host only needs to pay 100 points for exchange points."
"I see."
Mouton breathed a sigh of relief, closed the list of personal information, regained his brightness in his eyes, looked at Asuna and Yui, and said: "Yui, I can strip your program from the system body and store it in my local NERvGear, after leaving this world, I will let Yui appear in front of his father and mother, but I will be wronged during this time......"
"Really? Kiri ...... "Asuna almost thought she had misheard.
"Dad, can you do it?"
"Trust me." Mouton clenched his fists and said firmly.
"I agree, Dad."
"Asuna...... What about you......" Mouton turned to look at Asuna.
"I ......" Biting her lip tightly, Asuna made up some kind of determination in her heart before nodding and saying, "I agree, it's just that Yui has wronged you during this time." ”
"No, Mom." Yui raised her head, and her smile was full of tears, which made people feel very pity.
"System, separate Yui's program body, and materialize it."
The moment Mouton finished speaking, Yui's body had begun to bloom with a faint brilliance, Yui kissed Mouton and Asuna on the cheeks, tilted her head and smiled, "Mom and Dad, Yui will sleep first." ”
"Well, Yui, be good......"
"Don't worry, Yui, Dad will wake you up as soon as possible, don't be afraid."
"Uh-huh......"
In the hotel room, the white light that erupted from Yui's body became brighter and brighter, and Yui's eyes slowly closed, and then her body shrank rapidly, until finally it turned into a point of light and flew into Mouton's hand.
Mouton spread out his palm, and an aqua blue crystal bead was lying there quietly.
"It's ......"
"Yui's heart." Mouton hugged Asuna slightly, handed Yui's heart to Asuna, and said, "As long as we get rid of Sao, I can bring Yui back to life, Asuna, you can rest assured." ”
"Well, I believe Kiri ......"
Asuna clenched Yui's heart, her little head resting on the side of Mouton's shoulder, and closed her eyes...... You can feel that Yui has always been there......
Looking sideways to see the charming smile on Asuna's lips, Mouton clenched his fists and looked out the window at the sky...... It's time to get out......
