The moment the white figure fell, Asuna hugged Kaede directly, a look of fear appearing on her face.
"Eh?" It was the first time Kaede had been hugged like this by Asuna, and she couldn't help but feel a little novelty.
However, Kaede was still very interested in that white figure. Once Asuna had recovered, Kaede suddenly ran out.
"Kaede!" Asuna was startled by Kaede; she had actually run over there on her own to look for a ghost!
"Big sister, it's a little girl." At this moment, Kaede waved at Asuna and shouted.
"A little girl?" Asuna was stunned, then couldn't help but walk over, seeing the little girl with black hair and white clothes lying on the ground.
"What's going on?" Asuna was stunned, feeling a bit confused. "Is she a player? There shouldn't be such a young player, right?"
"She probably isn't a player, right?" Kaede poked the little girl from the side, then noticed there was no health bar above her and couldn't help but say.
"Then she must be an NPC." Asuna nodded, but even after confirming the little girl's identity, she was still a bit hesitant. "But even if she is an NPC, such a young little girl..."
If it were before, Asuna might not have been like this, but now, she no longer viewed this world as an illusion, so she naturally started to worry.
"Shall we take her home?" Kaede looked at the little girl, seemingly seeing a bit of herself, and couldn't help but say to Asuna.
"But, NPC movements are fixed, and they can't be taken away..." Asuna also wanted to, but it didn't seem possible.
"Uh!" As soon as Asuna finished speaking, she widened her eyes, watching as Kaede hoisted the little girl onto her back.
"No, she can be taken away," Kaede said to Asuna while bouncing the little girl slightly.
"Alright then." Asuna hadn't been against it in the first place; since the only problem didn't exist, she naturally didn't need to object anymore.
After arriving home, Kaede placed the little girl on the bed, and sat by the bedside with Asuna.
"She really could be brought back!" Asuna was a bit shocked. Aren't NPCs just a group of moving objects? Are they not just existences that automatically respawn after a period of time even if killed? Can such an existence really be brought back?
Or perhaps, Asuna looked at the little girl lying on the bed, perhaps she wasn't an NPC to begin with.
However, if she were a player, how could there be such a young player? Were her parents bringing her along to play? But would any parents just abandon their child like that?
Or perhaps already... A trace of gloom flashed in Asuna's eyes.
After waiting for a long time, Asuna and Kaede still hadn't waited for the little girl to wake up, and by this time, it was already late.
"Big sister, go to sleep first; I'll watch her here." Kaede was still looking at the little girl, appearing very interested in her.
"Huh?" This was also the first time Asuna had seen Kaede like this; in the end, she nodded, "Then I'll stay by your side."
"Mm!"
In the end, Asuna couldn't hold on and fell asleep leaning against Kaede. Kaede, however, still seemed full of energy, covering Asuna with the blanket while she stared at the little girl's delicate face. She didn't know why she was so interested in the little girl; perhaps it was because of her own experiences.
Smiling, Kaede watched as the little girl seemed to reveal a smile under the moonlight, and she also narrowed her eyes.
Just like that, the sky slowly brightened.
"Big sister! She's awake!" At this moment, Kaede, who was staring at the little girl, shouted.
At that moment, the little girl turned over and was staring at Kaede, and you stared at me, and I stared at you.
"She's awake?" Asuna climbed up from the bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes, not having processed what Kaede meant. Suddenly, Asuna remembered what happened yesterday and immediately jumped up, running to the bed here, watching the two girls, one big and one small, staring at each other.
One was wearing a white dress, while the other was in a black nightgown, revealing everything below her snow-white ankles, crouching there with bare little feet.
Kaede is really caring about this little girl~ Asuna looked at Kaede, who was still energetic despite not sleeping all night, and couldn't help but think. At the same time, there seemed to be a tiny bit of loss in her heart, which startled Asuna into shaking her head. What on earth was she thinking?
"Why are you there? Where are your parents?" Asuna asked at this moment.
"Hmm?" The little girl thought for a moment, and finally shook her head.
Kaede and Asuna exchanged a look, and then Asuna continued to ask, "Then what is your name? Can you say it?"
"Name..." The little girl frowned, seemingly trying hard to think, biting her finger.
"Yui... Yui, my, name." Finally, the little girl said it.
"Yui, Yui, little Yui, that's a very nice name~" Asuna said with a smile, narrowing her eyes.
"I am Asuna."
"I am Kaede!" Kaede raised her hand from the side at this moment.
"Mm." Yui nodded, looked at Asuna, "Asu-na."
Then Yui looked at Kaede again, and said with some effort, "Fen..."
"It's Kaede!" Kaede said, "Asuna."
"Forget it, Kaede, don't make things difficult for Yui." Asuna stopped Kaede, who wanted to correct Yui's pronunciation.
"Oh, alright, then call us whatever you want." Kaede also nodded.
"Mama!" Suddenly, Yui called out to Kaede in one breath.
"Mama?" Kaede widened her eyes, looked around, and finally pointed to herself, "Mama?"
"Mm!"
"It seems Yui really likes Kaede~" Asuna said with a smile from the side, also recalling that in the past, Kaede had seemingly wanted to call her that, only to be rejected by her.
However, the next moment, Asuna couldn't smile anymore, because Yui was looking at Asuna at this moment.
"Papa!"
The smile on Asuna's face froze. Papa? Why was she the Papa? She was clearly a girl, wasn't she? And, parents, herself and Kaede, thinking about this, Asuna couldn't help but blush.
"Yui, I'm Papa~" Kaede still remembered that she was originally male, so she couldn't help but say.
"Kaede!" Asuna was between laughter and tears; she didn't refute it, but instead was getting hung up on the title.
However, Asuna looked at Kaede, the corners of her mouth curling up, and no longer dwelling on it, she pounced on Kaede, grabbing her and pulling at Kaede's little face, saying, "How dare mere Kaede try to compete with me for the title!"
"But, I..." Kaede wanted to say that she was originally male.
"No buts. Yui, it's settled. I am the father, and Kaede is the mother!" Asuna made the final decision.
"Alright!" Kaede drooped her head.
It seemed there was absolutely no doubt that she was completely wrapped around Asuna's finger.
"Mm!!" And Yui, who was beside them, nodded happily.
"Mama!" Saying this, she hugged Kaede and rubbed against her.
"Hey, hey!" Kaede stopped struggling with the issue, and feeling Yui's actions, she couldn't help but laugh happily.
"Goodness." Asuna put her hands on her hips, watching the two people who were rubbing against each other like two little children, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmm..." Asuna suddenly thought that if she were a boy, she would be a winner in life with a house, a wife, and a child, wouldn't she?
"Forget it, never mind, let's go down and eat!" Asuna shook her head and said to Kaede and Yui.
"Okay!!" Kaede and Yui answered simultaneously, their eyes both showing expressions of anticipation.
"You two..." Asuna looked at them and couldn't help but laugh, "You definitely get along very well."
"Hehe."
