"Woo......"

After a faint ** sound like the barking of a kitten, the little girl in white that Chu Xuan, Asuna and Kiriko "picked up" in the woods opened her eyes slightly, and then what appeared in her sight was a head with reflective glasses, and then two more heads that were slightly smaller and two circles appeared.

"Ah, wake up, finally wake up!"

On the edge of a large bed that looked very comfortable, Asuna looked at the little girl who had slept in her ** for more than ten hours with a happy face, and shouted very happily, and Kiriko also showed a faint smile on her face.

The movement that this little girl made just now was the first Chu Xuan to hear and react, after carrying her all the way back to the guild residence established by the "Holy Black Cat Knights" at the entrance of the underground hot spring, the little girl was still unconscious, so Chu Xuan and the others had to put her in Asuna's ** and quietly wait for her to wake up.

In the past ten hours, many girls and children in the guild have come in to see this little girl, but only Chu Xuan, Asuna and Kiriko have been waiting here, and only Chu Xuan himself has been guarding here for more than ten hours, and Asuna and Kiriko have also taken turns sleeping in Kiriko's room for five or six hours during this period.

Well...... Although Asuna and Kiriko were not worried that Chu Xuan would do anything inferior to this unconscious little girl, no matter what the reason, the two of them did always ensure that there was someone by Chu Xuan's side to watch the little girl with him.

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

The little girl in white who finally opened her eyes didn't seem to know what was going on and why she was lying in a strange room, she gently turned her black eyes, looked at the faces of Chu Xuan, Asuna and Tongzi very blankly, and then opened her lips slightly, but only made a ** sound of unknown meaning in her throat.

Despite knowing that the little girl was most likely an NPC, Asuna immediately sat up with her in her arms and said to her in a voice as warm as a mother's:

"Great, you're finally awake, do you know what happened to you?"

“……”

The little girl leaned into Asuna's arms blankly, froze for a few seconds, and then shook her head silently.

"So, do you remember your name?"

Asuna then asked, and this time, the little girl reacted.

"First name, first name...... Name...... My name ......"

The little girl in white tilted her head lightly and pondered for a while very cutely, before replying intermittently:

"Knot, 'Yui', my ...... Name. ”

Despite the little girl's limited ability to express herself, and her speech was slurred and a little confused, Asuna smiled at her encouragingly, and said to her in an unusually gentle tone:

"Yui? What a good name. ”

"I'm Asuna, he's Chu Xuan, and the other is Tongzi."

Asuna slowed down her speech and introduced the three of herself to Yui, Yui's blank gaze followed Asuna's fingers, and she parroted and slowly repeated:

"Ah...... Zna...... Ancestor...... First...... Winter...... Sub ......"

Yui behaved like a toddler who had just begun to learn to speak, but she looked like she would be seven or eight years old, if not ten, and Asuna's eyes showed some concern.

Kiriko read Asuna's eyes, Yui is no different from a mentally retarded child, and this child doesn't feel like an "earthman" to them, if ...... So, Kiriko took the initiative to interject and asked:

"Yui, are you a player or an NPC? Is there anything we can help you with? ”

"Player...... npc…… Woo...... I don't know...... I don't know ......."

Kiriko's question seemed to have brought a great mental burden to the young Yui, and after she was silent for a long time, she began to shake her head in pain, and Asuna hurriedly hugged her to her chest and gently ** her head, trying to calm her down.

Although Yui's answer seemed to be completely worthless, but for the veteran player Kiriko and the wise man Chu Xuan, she had already answered many questions, Kiriko looked at Chu Xuan with a serious expression, and said in a somewhat low voice:

Chu Xuan...... It's pretty incredible though...... But there's a good chance that Yui is a 'player', right?

If it's an NPC, she doesn't bother with words like 'player' and 'NPC', and if she's a quest NPC, she should give me a quest when I say, 'What do you need help with?' or I'm not qualified to accept it.

But...... Such a small player...... The intelligence is still a little ......"

"Woo Woo ......"

At this time, there was a knock on Asuna's door, and after Asuna said "Please come in", nearly twenty girls poured into her room at once, and there were many girls looking inside the door.

"How's it going? We heard that the child has woken up, can we give her food? ”

The Black Cat and Hei Xue Ji and the others who came in at the head were all holding plates in their hands, and in them were the breakfasts of Chu Xuan, Asuna, and Kiriko - of course, Yui's share.

Kiriko shook her head with a little worry at everyone who cared about the little girl who fainted alone in the depths of the forest, and said in a heavy tone:

"This kid ...... Seems to be a player, and there's a good chance she's mentally retarded......"

"Don't jump to conclusions, let's observe more."

Chu Xuan, whose glasses were reflective, interrupted Kiriko's words, and then said to the girls with a surprised face:

"Let's bring this child's breakfast first, don't make a sound, just watch quietly from the side."

The girls crowded in the room and at the door all nodded sensibly, and the black cat brought the breakfast in his hand, while Hei Xue Ji and the others did not move, so they waited next to Chu Xuan and the three of them.

"Now, Yui, are you hungry? Want to eat? ”

Asuna asked in a gentle, slow tone as if she were coaxing a toddler, and Kiriko took a glass of milk and a small piece of bread from the tray held by the black cat and brought them to Yui.

"Rice ......"

Yui looked at the milk and bread with a little straight eyes, and then frowned slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, Asuna took the milk from Kiriko's hand and slowly brought it to Yui's mouth, this "elementary school student" who seemed to have a very low intelligence did not refuse, and drank it with a cup in both hands.

After drinking the milk, Asuna and Kiriko fed Yui bacon, broccoli and bread, and everyone held their breath and watched quietly as the little girl finished her breakfast, and many felt that her eyes and mannerisms did not match her age.

Yui, who had eaten, looked much more awake than when she first opened her eyes, so Asuna asked softly again:

"Yui, where are your father and mother?"

"Daddy...... Mom? ”

Yui repeated it slowly, as if whispering, and then she began to be in a daze, and after a few minutes or so, she looked up blankly, and her eyes circled over the faces of all the girls gathered in the room, and finally returned to the face of Asuna, who was closest to her.

"Azna...... Mom. ”

Then Yui looked at Kiriko who was holding the empty cup with some milk on the wall, and her brows furrowed tightly, as if she had stared at Kiriko in confusion for a long time, and then said in a tone of not so sure:

"Winter ...... Child...... Father...... Mom? ”

After confirming Kiriko's identity as her mother, Yui turned her head to look at Chu Xuan, who was reflected in her glasses, and exclaimed quite naturally:

"Ancestor, Daddy."

"Staring—"

For some reason, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird, and the girls crowded in the room and at the door all squinted their eyes and stared blankly at the "family of four" gathered around the bed, their eyes full of suspicion.

"Ahem......"

At this time, the black cat, who had been asked to watch quietly, couldn't help but stand up, she cleared her throat, and then pretended to have a casual expression, and said indifferently "to herself":

"Well...... The child may have had amnesia, which is why he recognized the first person he saw when he woke up as his relative.

Well, it's the same with ducklings or something, which is called that...... The imprint ...... the 'imprint effect'. ”

Then, under the slightly relieved gaze of the girls, the black cat took the initiative to step forward, and "skillfully" showed a smile that was not at all like her gentle big sister, and said to Yui in a slow and gentle tone:

"Yui, I'm a black cat, I'm a mother.

Black? Cat? Mother? Mother. ”

"Woo......"

Unfortunately, the black cat's experiment failed, and although she behaved very gently, it immediately reminded people of the phrase "the eldest sister is like a mother", and she didn't look like the evil eye radio wave girl who usually seemed to be difficult to approach, but Yui not only did not get close to her, but shrunk into Asuna's arms in some fear.

"Ah...... President, let me try it next, shall we? ”

Seeing that the smiling face of the Black Cat President seemed to have become stiff, Kuroyukihime, who was one of the three vice presidents, walked up and gently pressed the shoulder of the extremely lost Black Cat President to help her get out of this embarrassing scene.

Then Kuroyukihime also solemnly cleared her throat, blushed slightly, and said to Yui in a voice that was a little softer than usual:

"Yui, don't be afraid, mom is here, it's Kuroyukihime's mother~"

"Black ...... Snow ......"

Yui, who looked at Kuroyukihime with her shoulders brunch, seemed to really react to Kuroyukihime's name, but just as Kuroyukihime's eyes showed a hint of joy, Yui closed her mouth tightly and retracted into Asuna's arms.

"Ahem...... In this case...... Can you try it too? ”

Following Kuroyukihime, who also suffered a defeat with the black cat, Rifa, that is, Kiriko's sister Naoha, also stood up and asked a little shyly. (To be continued.) )
