Lixia gently reached out and touched the young girl's forehead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The cold but smooth touch came. "Why...... So she will be in SAO...... It's too unreasonable, Celica's existence is already very unreasonable, and now ......"

Lixia bit her lip and prepared to get up, and said to Zheng Shuanglong, "Anyway, you can't put her here." By the time she woke up, she should know something. Take her back to our house. ”

Leaving the little girl alone in a coma, the gentle and kind Lixia really can't do it.

"Well, that's it." Zheng Shuanglong got up with his young daughter in his arms. Lixia looked around, there was only a large, severed and decaying tree trunk nearby, and she couldn't find anything like a reason why the young girl was here.

The two of them left the forest almost the same way as they came, and when they returned home, the young girl's consciousness had not yet recovered. Let the young girl lie on Lixia's bed and cover it with a blanket, and the two sit down side by side on Zheng Shuanglong's bed opposite.

Looking at the young girl who fell into a deep sleep, Zheng Shuanglong pondered for a while and said, "The only thing that can be determined now is that since she can move to our house, she is not an NPC. ”

"Yes......" Hearing Zheng Shuanglong say this, Lixia nodded and agreed.

NPCs controlled by the system have fixed coordinates within a certain range, and cannot be moved by the player arbitrarily. If you touch or hold an NPC with your hand, you will jump out of the harassment warning window within seconds and be knocked flying by an unpleasant impact.

Nodding slightly at Lixia's agreement, Zheng Shuanglong continued to speculate more. "And it's not an event that starts any task. Even then, the task list window should update at the point of contact with her...... So, I think the most likely scenario is that this kid is a player who got lost over there. ”

Zheng Shuanglong glanced at the side of the bed, and then said, "If you don't carry a crystal, or don't know how to transfer, you should have never been to the practice area since you logged in, and you have been staying in the 'Beginning Town'. I don't know why she's here, but there should be players in the Origin Town who know the kid. ”

"Well, I think so too. No matter how you think about it, I don't think such a young child would log in alone. You should have come with a family member or guardian...... If only it were safe. As if about to swallow the last sentence in her mouth, Lixia turned her head to look at Zheng Shuanglong. She's going to regain consciousness, right?"

"Well, since it hasn't disappeared, it means that there is still a signal exchange with NERvGear. It should be very similar to sleep now, so I guess I'll wake up after a while. Zheng Shuanglong said a little uncertainly.

Lixia got up, knelt down in front of the bed where the girl was lying, and stretched out her right hand to gently stroke the girl's head.

Although it is in this case, she is really a beautiful girl. Rather than a human child, the aura she exudes is closer to that of a goblin. The color of the skin is a delicate pure white close to alabaster, long black hair with a brilliant glow, and a clear contour with an exotic flavor. If this child opens his eyes and smiles, he will definitely be attractive.

Zheng Shuanglong also walked over to Lixia and sat down. Stretch out your right hand and stroke the girl's hair. Guessed: "It should be less than ten years old...... Well, if you compare it to Theo's growth numbers, she should only be about eight years old. ”

"Pretty much...... Definitely the youngest player I've ever seen. Nodding slightly, Lixia looked at Zheng Shuanglong's face and said softly: "Zheng, when she wakes up, let's accompany her to the [Origin Town] to find information about her parents or guardians." ”

"If that's what Lixia asks, no problem." Kissing Lixia gently, Zheng Shuanglong got up and said, "Oh, it's been this time, let's have Chinese food." ”

Lixia, who was a little shy, lowered her head, blushed and said shyly, "Well, I'll make tea." ”

The late autumn afternoon passed slowly, and even when the red sunlight from the periphery had completely disappeared, the young girl was still asleep.

After pulling up the curtains in the living room and turning on the wall lamp, Zheng Shuanglong, who had gone out to communicate with Argo, also returned. He shook his head at Lixia wordlessly, informing him that he had not received any information about the girl.

Even Argo, the best intelligence merchant in the entire SAO, doesn't have news of this little girl, so it's a little more troublesome.

To be honest, Zheng Shuanglong didn't have much interest in going to the [Beginning Town], on the one hand, he looked down on those scum who didn't even have the courage to stand up, and more because the [Army], the guild with the largest number of people, was in the [Beginning Town].

The Tooth King is the high-level of the army, and Zheng Shuanglong and the Tooth King are quite incompatible, so naturally they are also quite uneasy with the army, and in this case, it is a little uncomfortable to run into the army's nest, especially now when they are still on their honeymoon with Lixia.

Zheng Shuanglong felt that it was a pity to waste such precious time on this.

However, who called Lixia seemed to like that little girl very much, and had special pity, Zheng Shuanglong, who had no way, had to be ready.

"Go to bed early today. I'm going to go to the Town of Initiation tomorrow to inquire about the news. Lixia, who had finished the dinner, said softly.

"Well, that's fine." Zheng Shuanglong also agreed to Lixia's proposal.

Turn off the lights in the living room and enter the bedroom. Because one of the beds was given to the young girl, the two had to sleep in the other bed together, and the two hurriedly changed into pajamas.

After turning off the wall lamp in the bedroom, the two of them went to bed.

Although he was lying on the same bed, because Lixia was still too young, Zheng Shuanglong didn't want to do anything, and besides, just a game imaginary, Zheng Shuanglong would not be so unproductive to shoot at such an imaginary body, and it was also a real delicate body for Lixia, so he fell asleep quickly, and fell asleep with regular breathing in a short period of time.

Zheng Shuanglong fell asleep quickly, but Lixia was nervous and couldn't sleep, and it was Zheng Shuanglong lying next to him.

Although it is a marriage relationship, but lying in the same bed and sleeping together like this, except for the very small and very young age when they didn't even understand love, this kind of thing, this is the first time, Lixia knows very well that she is blushing now.

However, this bumpy and uneasy calmed down with Zheng Shuanglong's regular breathing.

"Really. I fell asleep like this, but there was a beautiful girl beside me......" Lixia grumbled in a low voice, turning over to face the girl's bed lying on the other side. The black-haired girl continued to sleep in the pale blue darkness. I don't want to think about the girl's past until now, but looking at her like this, my mind always drifts in that direction.

It would be fine if a girl had lived with her parents or guardians such as her siblings, but if she had come into the world alone and spent two years in fear and loneliness, it would have been unbearable for a child who was only eight or nine years old.

No way—Lixia imagined the worst. If the reason why the girl wandered in that forest and fainted was because of her mental condition. Of course, Ayn Grant didn't have a psychiatrist or anything like that, and he didn't have a system administrator to turn to. It will take at least half a year to complete the strategy, and it can't be done just by the efforts of Zheng Shuanglong and Lixia.

And the Void Brigade is about to withdraw from this SAO, losing the strongest guild in the game, how long will it take for this remaining twenty-five layer of raiders, God really knows.

Thinking like this, Lixia unconsciously stepped out of bed and walked over to the sleeping girl.

Stroking the girl's hair for a while, Lixia gently lifted the quilt, lay down beside the girl, and hugged the small body tightly with her arms. Although the girl's body still didn't move, her expression seemed to become softer. Lixia whispered, "Good night, I hope you wake up tomorrow......"

After Lixia fell asleep, Zheng Shuanglong, who was originally asleep, opened his eyes, turned to look at the two girls hugging each other, with a hearty smile on his face, and said softly: "It seems that Lixia will become an excellent wife in the future......"

As he spoke, Zheng Shuanglong closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

…………

Lixia fell asleep in the white light of the morning, and a steady melody suddenly came to her senses. It's the wake-up of the oboe. Lixia 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 song—

- Hum a song?

It wasn't herself who was singing, and Lixia opened her eyes instantly.

The dark-haired girl in her arms closed her eyes and hummed the same melody as Lixia's wake-up noise. It was accompanied by the melody of the wake-up bell that he had been familiar with for more than two years.

And there were no drops at all, but this is simply not possible. Because Lixia had set the noise to be heard only by herself, it stands to reason that no one could hum along with the melody that only played in her head.

However, Lixia put the doubt behind her mind for now. More important than that - the girl has woken up.

"Zheng, wake up quickly!" Without moving her body, Lixia called out to Zheng Shuanglong, who was sleeping on the bed behind her. It didn't take long to feel Zheng Shuanglong make a muffled voice and sit up.

“…… Good morning, what's wrong?" Zheng Shuanglong, who opened his eyes in a daze, greeted softly.

"Hurry up, come here!" Lowering her voice, Lixia said a little hurriedly.

Listening to the slight rattling sound, Zheng Shuanglong, who had been looking at the bed through Lixia without care, instantly woke up. "She's singing......

"Uh-huh......" Lixia gently shook the body of the girl in her arms and called to her. Wake up...... Please, open your eyes. ”

Listening to Lixia's call, the girl's lips stopped moving. Soon, the long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then slowly opened their eyes.

The moist black pupils met Lixia's gaze up close. After blinking his eyes a few times, he opened his lips slightly and pale slightly. "Ah...... Woo......"

The girl's voice was as illusory and beautiful as striking a very thin piece of silver.

Lixia sat up with the girl in her arms. Said happily: "...... Great, you're awake. Do you know what happened to you?"

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

Looking at the girl's silent expression, Lixia let go of the happiness in her heart and asked a little worriedly, "Is it...... What about your name? You know what?"

“…… Name...... Word...... I...... It's mine...... Name...... "The girl tilted her head sideways, and a shiny black hair followed her cheek. "Knot...... Clothing. Yui. It's mine...... Name......"

"Yui? What a good name. I'm Lixia and he's Zheng Shuanglong. Listening to the self-introduction of the girl named Yui, Lixia introduced softly.

That gentleness is really heartwarming.

As soon as Lixia turned her head, the girl named Yui also turned her gaze. She looked at Lixia and Zheng Shuanglong back and forth, and then spoke: "Stand ...... Down, really...... Sour...... Prosperous. ”

He moved his mouth and made a staccato sound. The uneasiness she felt last night awakened in Lixia'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.

Suppressing the worry in her heart, Lixia asked softly with the gentlest smile, "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 and said, "I...... I don't know...... What, I don't know, I don't know ......."

…………

He carried Yui to the dining table and chair and handed her the warm and sweet milk. Yui held the cup in both hands and drank it one by one. Looking at Yui with her spare eyes, Lixia and Zheng Shuanglong were discussing at a distance from her.

Looking at Yui, Lixia said with a little heartache: "Zheng Shuanglong...... What do you think ......?"

Zheng Shuanglong thought for a moment and said softly: "It seems to be ...... Lost memory. More seriously, though, judging by the way she looks...... Maybe it's trauma ......"

Resisting the urge to cry, Lixia lowered her voice and said, "You really ...... Do you think so......"

"Well, although there is a lot of cruelty in this world, although it shows the darkness and brilliance of human nature, this is really terrible for a little girl, too cruel......" Zheng Shuanglong, who is one of the Lolitacon, lowered his voice.

Listening to Zheng Shuanglong's words, Lixia felt something stab into her chest, shook her head vigorously, and dispersed the indignation in her heart, Lixia said gently: "No problem, Zheng ...... There must be something we can do to help......"

"Really? Does Lixia want to help this child, then, go ahead, I won't mind......" As he spoke, Zheng Shuanglong smiled, put his hands on Lixia's shoulders, and walked over to the dining table. Lixia followed him.

Clicking and moving a chair to sit next to Yui, Zheng Shuanglong said to Yui in a cheerful voice: "That, Yui...... Can I just call you Yui?"

Yui, who was originally facing the cup, picked up her face and nodded. (To be continued.) )
