Time went back to when Luo Zhen stepped into Arun.
When Luo Zhen entered Arun, on the World Tree that reached into the sky, in the golden birdcage room hanging between the high branches, Asuna was lying on the bed, her body rolled up into a ball, hugging her knees, like As if protecting himself, he seemed so lonely.
It is inevitable that Sugou Nobuyuki discovered the existence of Yui and others and did something to her. Under normal circumstances, Yui would not come out on her own initiative. They would only show up when they were sure that Sugou Nobuyuki would not come.
During this time, Asuna must resist loneliness and fear alone, and continue to stay here, waiting for the opportunity to be rescued.
So, for Asuna, today is still a lonely day.
However...
"Zheng!"
Suddenly, in the space in front of Asuna, with a flash of light, a young girl wearing a white dress suddenly appeared.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Colorful butterflies and flower butterflies appeared together and screamed.
"Yui? Why did you come out?"
Asuna, who was resisting the feeling of loneliness, sat up suddenly and looked at Yui who appeared with a look of astonishment on her face.
However, at this moment, Yui was not as gentle as before, but seemed to be excited and confused.
"dad... "
Yui spoke with a trembling voice.
"well?"
Asuna couldn't react immediately.
But soon, Asuna knew why Yui was so abnormal.
"Dad...! Dad...! It's dad...!"
Yui became excited like never before.
"I feel daddy is nearby! Daddy is here!"
Yui's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Asuna's head hard, making Asuna's head go blank.
However, at the same time, an emotion strong enough to blow away everything burst out from Asuna's heart, making Asuna tremble.
At this moment, Asuna had only one sentence left in her heart.
he came.
he came.
He's finally here.
The loneliness and despair in Asuna's heart were completely replaced by joy and anxiety, making her eyes moist.
"Is this... is this true? Yui!"
Asuna's voice trembled even more than Yui's, as if she was afraid of being awakened from a dream.
"it is true!"
Yui seemed to have been confirmed many times, and her eyes were also moist.
"This is dad's ID file in SAO. The format of the player's archive and the character model are exactly the same as that time. It has now appeared in the central city of Arun at the root of the World Tree. There is no mistake!"
After entering ALO as Asuna's property, Yui no longer has administrator rights like in the past. However, as an AI intelligent program, Yui still has some intelligent functions, such as providing query and login advertisements. The domain map file can also confirm the player's ability value and search for its location and coordinates. However, there is no way to enter the main database. Therefore, it can only be confirmed when there is contact with the player or when the other party comes around. .
Now, when Luo Zhen stepped into Arun's range, Yui confirmed the arrival of Luo Zhen's ID and character with her own authority.
"Luo Zhen!"
Asuna immediately rushed to the fence of the golden birdcage, held on to the fence, and shouted outside.
"dad!"
Yui also came to the fence and called with all her strength.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Even the colorful butterflies and flower butterflies seemed to be excited and screamed desperately.
Unfortunately, this place is far away from Arun at the root of the World Tree. Let alone shouts, even thunder may not reach below.
"I'll try to simulate the system warning message mode and talk to Dad!"
Yui immediately closed her eyes.
Seeing Yui like this, Asuna also suppressed her anxiety and longing. Looking at the bottom of the ground below, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
However, Asuna still endured it.
"It doesn't matter...it doesn't matter..."
Even if we can't see each other now, it doesn't matter.
Because, at least, Asuna already knew that he had come here, in front of the World Tree.
In this case, he will definitely come to him and want to see him.
This is the object of her dreams, a miraculous genius who can overcome any difficulties with his own mind.
"Luo Zhen..."
Soon.
It's almost there.
That person is coming soon.
Therefore, no matter what, I have to hold back and not cry.
Even if you want to cry, you should cry heartily in his arms instead of showing your cowardly side here in front of the invisible enemy.
"Dad...Dad..."
Yui has been calling Luo Zhen and trying to contact Luo Zhen.
Because the distance was too far and the authority was insufficient, Yui was not sure that her voice could reach Luo Zhen.
But Yui still believed that Luo Zhen would be able to hear her voice.
Then, just like when he found himself in SAO, Luo Zhen would definitely appear in front of him.
Until then, no matter how many times, Yui will try to call him.
"Dad...Dad...Dad...!"
Yui shouted.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Colorful butterflies and flower butterflies immediately echoed, shouting at the top of their lungs.
In the golden birdcage, the imprisoned birds kept singing.
For the coming figure.
... ... ... ...
"Dad...Dad...Dad...!"
In his mind, the girl's call kept ringing, allowing Luo Zhen to hear it more and more clearly.
Luo Zhen raised his head, looked at the top of the World Tree, and his breathing became hot.
"Can't be wrong..."
This is Yui's voice.
Yui is here, at the top of that world tree.
What exactly is going on
Luo Zhen doesn’t know.
Luo Zhen only knows that the daughter who used to call her daddy in SAO is now here, in this game.
Originally, Luo Zhen was worried about whether Yui, an AI in SAO, would have any problems after clearing SAO. Therefore, he had already sent a request to Seijiro Kikuoka to find a way to find Yui. program files and notified myself as soon as possible, but no message was received for a long time.
Until now, Luo Zhen was sure that Yui was in this world, even beside Asuna.
"Could it be that the reason Asuna's subconscious rejected my call was because of Yui?"
Luo Zhen finally understood.
If Asuna responds to her call and wakes up in reality, then Yui, as an AI, can only stay in this world. It is not difficult to imagine the final result.
In view of this, Asuna subconsciously rejected her call just to protect Yui.
Understanding this, Luo Zhen smiled.
Smiling very happily.
"It seems that this trip was correct."
If she rashly rescues Asuna in reality, or takes action against the mastermind behind everything, Yui really doesn't know what will happen to her.
Perhaps, she will be deleted by the angry mastermind.
Perhaps, she will be used as a handle and a hostage to threaten Luo Zhen and Asuna.
What is certain is that once Asuna is no longer in this world, Yui will definitely be discovered by the other party and dealt with.
But now, the mother and daughter whom he longed for day and night were safe and sound.
"Huh..."
Luo Zhen took a deep breath.
His eyes calmed down.
