Time returned to the time when Rozen stepped into Alun.
When Rozen entered Alun, in the World Tree that reached the clouds, in the golden birdcage room hanging between the high branches, Yasna was lying on the bed, her body curled up into a ball, hugging her knees as if she was protecting herself, looking so lonely.
In order to prevent Xu Xiangzhi from discovering the existence of Kuri and the others and doing something to her, under normal circumstances, Kuri would not take the initiative to come out. Only when she was sure that Xu Xiangzhi would not come over would they take the initiative to appear.
During this time, Yasna had to resist the feeling of loneliness and fear alone and continue to stay here, waiting for the opportunity to be rescued.
Therefore, for Yasna, today was still a lonely day.
However …
Clang!
Suddenly, in the space in front of Yasna, with a burst of light, a young girl in a white dress suddenly appeared.
Coo!
Woo!
Saichou and Hanachou appeared together and cried.
"Kuri? Why did you come out? "
Yasna, who was resisting the feeling of loneliness, suddenly sat up and looked at Kuri with a face full of shock.
However, at this moment, Kuri was not as gentle as before. Instead, she seemed to be excited and at a loss.
"Daddy …"
Kuri spoke with a trembling voice.
"Huh?"
Yasna was unable to react in time.
Soon enough, Asuna knew why Kurumi was behaving so strangely.
"Daddy …! Daddy …! It's daddy …! "
Kuri was unprecedentedly excited.
"I feel daddy is nearby! Daddy is here! "
Kuri's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Yasna's head hard, making Yasna's mind go blank.
However, at the same time, a strong emotion that could blow away everything burst out from Yasna's heart, making Yasna tremble.
At this moment, there was only one sentence left in Yasna's heart.
He's here.
He's here.
He had finally arrived.
The loneliness and despair in Yasna's heart were completely replaced by joy and impatience, causing her eyes to moisten.
"Is … is this real? Kuri! "
Yasna's voice trembled even more than Kuri's, as if she was afraid of being woken up from a dream.
"It's true!"
Kuri's eyes were moist, as if she had confirmed it many times already.
"This is Dad's ID file in SAO. The Player Save Form and Character Mode are exactly the same as back then. He is now in Alune, the central city at the root of the World Tree. There's no mistake!"
After entering ALO as Yasna's possession, Kuri no longer had the authority of a manager like before. But as an AI program, Kuri still had some intelligent functions, such as providing queries and logging into the wide area map file, confirming the player's Ability Value, and searching for their location and coordinates. However, she couldn't access the main database, so she could only confirm the player's identity when she had contact with the player, or when the player was nearby.
Now, when Rozen stepped into the range of Alune, Kuri used her own authority to confirm the arrival of Rozen's ID and character.
"Rozen!"
Yasna immediately rushed to the fence of the golden birdcage, held the fence tightly, and shouted towards the outside.
"Dad!"
Kuri also came to the fence and shouted with all her might.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Even Saichou and Hanachou seemed to be excited and shouted with all their might.
Unfortunately, this place was so far away from Alune at the root of the World Tree. Not to mention shouting, even the sound of thunder might not be able to reach the bottom.
"Let me try to simulate the message mode of the system warning and talk to Dad!"
Kuri immediately closed her eyes.
Looking at Kuri like this, Yasna also held back her anxiety and longing. Looking at the completely bottomless ground below, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
However, Yasna still held back her tears.
"It's okay … It's okay …"
Even if they couldn't meet now, it didn't matter.
Because at least, Yasna already knew that he had come here, in front of the World Tree.
Since that was the case, he would definitely come in front of her and want to meet her.
This was the person she admired, a miraculous genius who could break through any difficulties with his own brain.
"Rozen …"
Soon.
It was already soon.
That person was almost here.
Therefore, no matter what, she had to hold back and not cry out.
Even if she wanted to cry, she should cry in his arms, not here, in front of an invisible enemy, and show her weak side.
"Dad … Dad …"
Kuri kept calling out to Rozen, trying to contact Rozen.
Because the distance was too far, and because she didn't have enough authority, Kuri couldn't be sure that her voice could reach Rozen.
But Kuri still believed that Rozen could hear her voice.
Then, just like when he picked her up in SAO, Rozen would definitely appear in front of her.
Before that, no matter how many times, Kuri would try to call out to him.
"Dad … Dad … Dad …!"
Kuri cried out.
"Coo!"
"Woo!"
Saichou and Hanachou immediately followed, using their loudest voices to call out.
In the golden birdcage, the imprisoned birds couldn't stop crying.
For the figure that was coming.
.....
"Dad … Dad … Dad …!"
In his mind, the girl's voice kept ringing, and Rozen could hear it more and more clearly.
Rozen raised his head, looking at the top of the World Tree, and his breath became hot.
"There's no mistake …"
This was Kuri's voice.
Kuri was here, at the top of the World Tree.
What the hell was going on?
Rozen didn't know.
Rozen only knew that his daughter, who kept calling him father in SAO, was now here, in this game.
Originally, Rozen was worried that after clearing SAO, as an AI, Kuri would encounter some problems. So, he sent a request to Kikuoka Seijiro, asking him to find a way to find Kuri's program file and inform him as soon as possible, but he didn't receive any reply.
Until now, Rozan Can was sure that Kuri was in this world, and she might even be by Yasna's side.
"Could it be that the reason why Yasna's subconscious rejected my call was because of Kuri?"
Rozen finally understood.
If Yasna responded to his call and woke up in reality, then as an AI, Kuri could only stay in this world. It was not difficult to imagine what the final outcome would be.
Because of this, Yasna would subconsciously reject his call just to protect Kuri.
Understanding this, Rozen smiled.
He smiled very happily.
"It seems that this trip was not a mistake."
If he rashly woke up Yasna in reality, or if he attacked the mastermind behind everything, Kuri really didn't know what would happen to her.
Maybe she would be deleted by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Maybe she would be used as a hostage to threaten Rozen and Yasna.
What was certain was that once Yasna was no longer in this world, Kuri would definitely be discovered by the mastermind and be punished.
But now, the mother and daughter that he missed day and night were safe and sound.
"Phew …"
Rozen let out a deep breath.
His eyes calmed down.
