After some explanation, a few people retracted their strange eyes.

"But why did Kayaba Akihiko leave it to you, well, it's called Yui, right?"

Kirito looked at Asuna with doubt, after all, Asuna was the only one present.

"I think Akihiko Kayaba's purpose should be to leave a seed."

Asuna gently stroked Yui's head, and said as Yui squinted her eyes in enjoyment, "The cardinal system failed in the battle with Shirokumar, so for the sake of the player's future, it is also appropriate to leave a seed." ”

"Akihiko Aoba would be so kind? I don't believe it. ”

Klein frowned, not having the slightest sense of trust in the culprit who had trapped him in this world and caused thousands of deaths.

Asuna stroked her right hand gently, but she recalled that time, Akihiko Kayaba's most transparent expression, which was the expression of accepting her life and death, she felt that Akihiko Kayaba at that time had no need to deceive her.

"Possibly..."

Kirito thought of something, agreed with Asuna's statement, and when several people focused their eyes on him, he said slowly: "Do you know how the cardinal system works?" The main responsibility of the cardinal system is to 'manage', 'allocate' and 'maintain' the limited resources of this world, and all resources, whether it is AI, currency, or strange refresh rate, are all regulated by the cardinal system. ”

"Among them, in order to share these pressures and to be able to self-repair, Akihiko Chewba designed two identical main programs to maintain the system together, and whenever a program has a BUG, the other program will fix the BUG, and there will be no BUG that makes the main program freeze."

"So, the question is, what happens if one main program has a problem with itself and leaves another program unrepairable?"

"That's right, like we saw, they fought."

"And the program that has the problem is heavily allocated to an AI that has a very high level of NPCs like Shirokumar, and can even be said to be close to humans. It raised the Shirokumar in order to win the war. ”

"As a result, the program they represent wins, and the other program, the cardinal system, becomes a seed."

"It's Yui."

Kirito turned his gaze to Yui, who was looking at him with wide eyes, to end his speculation from Asuna's statement.

"Wait, wait, Kirito." The thief Klein covered his head, and although Kirito had made his guess as simple as possible, it was a bit difficult for Klein to be a flexible IQ in this regard.

"So, the conclusion is, Yui is the cardinal system?"

"Yes and no."

Asuna understood Kirito's words, it was actually very simple, the two sides would fight each other, the cardinal system was defeated, and the cardinal system left Yui, the seed of not knowing when the road would work.

But...

"As a result, I still didn't speculate that what Yui would call Ye Ran and me, that, Mom and Dad..."

Asuna's face flushed at the mention of this word, she was only a fifteen-year-old, no, it should be said that a sixteen-year-old girl, the days spent in this world made her forget the passage of time, no matter what, she was still underage, she had never even been in love once since she was a child, and the two words that came out of her mouth were extremely lethal to her.

"This..."

Kirito is also very helpless, in addition to the speculation of the situation, why Yui will be entrusted to Asuna He understands Akihiko Kayaba's thoughts, but why he will be involved with Ye Ran, it is not very clear, although Asuna and Ye Ran are two...

Looking at the two of them, Kirito remembered Yuki, Yuki should be okay now... When she came out, she seemed to be busy with something, so Kirito's didn't bother Yuki.

Klein looked at Ye Ran and Asuna with envy, and Tilberu fell into deep thought, thinking about Kirito's speculation just now.

Ye Ran walked to the window, looked out the window, outside the window, the players also recovered from their sadness, after all, life has to go on, and indulging in sadness will not help, this truth, players have understood it a long time ago, but, Ye Ran is not looking at them, but those who have been avoided.

Those people, expressionlessly looking at the people around them, pointing, their eyes stayed in this temporary hut.

They are waiting, waiting for someone to decide their future fate.

"Asuna, Knights of the Blood Alliance, what are you going to do?"

Faintly, Ye Ran asked this question from his mouth, and because he was facing away from everyone, even Asuna couldn't see what the look on Ye Ran's face was.

For Ye Ran's question, Asuna was just silent, and the movements of her hands stopped, and the question that Ye Ran asked was the inevitable question that Asuna would follow.

Except for her, the remaining number of the Blood Alliance Knights was only ten, which was reduced several times.

The biggest problem is not the number, but the title of the Knights of the Blood Alliance has become a footprint left by Akihiko Kayaba among players.

After that, for a long time, the guild of the Blood Alliance Knights will become a target of hostility from some players.

"Do you want to give up?"

The light in the eyes of those people has dimmed, and they fought for their compatriots, and even a large number of partners were buried on the battlefield, but in exchange for this, it was the result.

Ye Ran's flat voice came into Asuna's ears, and she couldn't hear emotional fluctuations, but it made Asuna tremble.

"I..."

In a short time, Asuna's voice was a little hoarse, she opened her mouth, said a word, and fell silent again.

The people present did not speak, this is a question that belongs to the Knights of the Blood Alliance, this is a question that belongs to Asuna.

"Yui."

After a long time, Asuna put Yui on the ground, and in her wide-eyed and bewildered eyes, she pushed her in the direction where Ye Ran was.

Yui walked to Ye Ran's side with a pair of bare feet, pulled the hem of Ye Ran's white windbreaker with both hands, turned around, Ye Ran put his hand on Yui's head, and showed a faint smile at Yui.

Then, the two turned their gaze to Asuna, who stood up from their chairs and stretched out.

"Nah..."

Asuna's maroon eyes shone with an inexplicable brilliance, and she whispered to the tall and short white figures over there.

"Do you know the way? The moment Yui called my mother, I suddenly felt like my dream had come true. ”

"With you, with Yui, my mood is so peaceful."

"It's just a little, just a little, I have a kind of idea that it's not bad to live in this world forever."

"But I know that this is not going to work."

"So now, I'm leaving, is there anything to say to me?"

Ye Ran quietly looked at the red and white girl in front of her, the girl's expression was calm, but her hands were tightly clasped, she stubbornly looked at Ye Ran's face, that delicate face seemed to be forever calm, and always kept a distance from people.

He's strong.

That strength is not only the strength of the so-called strength, Asuna understands Ye Ran's strength, so she just wants to get closer, closer.

"Ah, come on."

"I'll be waiting for you at the apex."

So when he said this, Asuna clutched the clothes on her chest, where there was an extremely strong emotion and nowhere to vent.

Ahhhh

Asuna, you're a fool.

Just such a sentence makes you happy and can't help yourself.

Just like that, you feel all the wounds healed.

That's all...

Ahh

"Hmm!"

"I'll catch up!"

For half a year, the girl's mouth repeated the same words as before, but the posture of turning around was more chic than at the beginning, with ripples, opening the door and walking towards the person who had been waiting, with hope and determination.

That's the future of a girl.

Forward, keep going, never stop until you catch up with that person.
