In the living room of Le Yuan's house on the twenty-fourth floor, Yui snuggled up to Le Yuan with a comfortable face, closed her eyes and took a nap, and the snoring soon reached Le Yuan's ears.

And Le Yuan on the side slowly smoothed down his stiff body, and looked at Kiriko with an embarrassed face revealing a look of hatred for women, although it is an exaggeration to say this, but if Le Yuan does not insert it, Yui can indeed be regarded as Kiriko's daughter.

Le Yuan took a sip of tea from the teacup on the coffee table, broke the silence in the living room and said, "That, Kiriko, you don't have to look at me like that, calm down, calm down." After speaking, he pointed to Yui, who was still sleeping, and stretched out his fingers to make a "shhhhh

Kiriko clenched her hands tightly, as if she wanted to scold, but after seeing Yui's sleeping face, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "You, aren't you going to explain it to me?" If it were you, I would know very well what Yui meant to me, she, she's my daughter and Asuna's! ”

"It's the daughter of the last world." Le Yuan reminded on the side, looking at Kiriko's appearance of not giving up on not returning the Yui to her, Le Yuan couldn't help asking, "Can you, ask?" When was Kirito a person before you became Kirito? ”

"On November 7, 2024, the moment I returned with Heathcliff, I would have been a baby just over a year old." Kiriko said after recalling for a while, and then immediately said nervously: "Of course, it's different from my previous life now, maybe I can be liberated early." ”

Le Yuan glanced at the nervous Kiriko opposite, turned his head and stroked Yui's cheek and said, "Maybe this child was indeed looking for you in the last life, but now, the person she really wants to pursue is me, do you know where I met her?" What did she say to me? ”

"Goo-dong-" Kiriko swallowed nervously, her eyes unblinking as she looked at Rakubuchi.

"Thirty-five Stories of the Lost Forest, that's what she replied when I asked why she had found me. She felt relieved to see me, or rather, she wanted to come to me before she had amnesia. Le Yuan's words were like a sharp sword piercing Kiriko's heart, almost breaking Kiriko's heart.

Looking at the loss revealed on Kiriko's face, Le Yuan continued: "Yui will be handed over to me to take care of for the time being, so Kiriko, what is the matter with you coming here today?" What about Asuna? ”

As soon as Le Yuan said this, Tongzi realized that she had come with an important mission today. She sat on the sofa next to her and said, "Commander, Heathcliff said he wants to see you now, let me take you to meet him." ”

"See me. Right now? Le Yuan asked, only to see Kiriko nodding.

"Dad......" I saw that Yui had already opened her eyes and pulled Le Yuan's clothes and shouted, but it was such a title that gave Kiriko a fatal blow again.

"I'm sorry, but can Yui be at home and watch the house? Dad is going out to do something, and when he comes back, he will make food for Yui! Le Yuan coaxed.

When Yui heard this, instead of letting go of the hand holding Le Yuan's clothes, she grabbed the clothes and didn't let go, and then glanced at Kiriko on the side and asked, "Is Dad going out with this sister?" Yui is also going, and Yui doesn't want to leave her father. Saying that, the whole person had already thrown himself into Le Yuan's arms.

Le Yuan patted Yui's back and comforted, "Okay." Good...... Kiriko, Heathcliff should be at the guild headquarters on the fifty-fifth floor of the Blood Alliance Knights, let's go together! ”

"But, but Yui if she ......" Kiriko looked at Yui worriedly. She knew very well what Heathcliff's true identity was, and she knew how delicate Yui's identity was, and it was the worst and worst situation to meet Heathcliff so openly.

At this time, Le Yuan had already stood up with Yui and looked at Kiriko, who was still sitting on the sofa in a daze. Le Yuan said: "Okay, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and we can't deceive ourselves." If Heatscliffe really had the heart to deal with Yui, he would have done it the moment Yui appeared, and now that Yui is fine, then we don't have to worry so much, let's go and see what our captain wants to do. ”

The fifty-fifth floor of Gransom, also known as the "Steel Capital", is another level where smelting and gold smelting players gather in addition to the forty-eighth floor, although the black steel buildings make the scenery of this neighborhood look very depressed, but due to the existence of the Knights of the Blood Alliance, the largest guild in Aingrant, it has increased in popularity.

As soon as the three of Le Yuan came out of the portal, they heard Asuna's voice: "Kiriko, Le Yuan, you guys are too slow, if it weren't for the head of the regiment to let me wait patiently, I would have wanted to see the situation in person." ”

Kiriko looked at Asuna standing in front of her, and said embarrassedly with the back of her head: "I'm sorry, on a whim, I talked to Le Yuan for a long time, which made you worried." ”

Seeing Kiriko's look of "I was wrong, I regret it", Asuna let her go for the time being, turned around and noticed Yui standing behind Le Yuan pulling his clothes and trying to see it for herself. Seeing Yui's very scared look, Asuna stepped forward and touched Yui's head with a big motherly and asked, "Little sister, what's your name, ......" Asuna, who is a top player, immediately discovered Yui's abnormality, and there was no indicator icon.

Kiriko covered Asuna's mouth and said, "Haha, the head of the regiment should be in a hurry, let's hurry up, and then pull Asuna and run towards the guild headquarters." ”

Le Yuan looked at the two who threw him away, picked up Yui, and struggled to chase after the two who were far away in Yui's excited laughter.

In the conference room of the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights Guild, I saw Heathcliff sitting on an office chair looking at Yui behind Le Yuan with interest, and turned his eyes to Le Yuan and smiled: "Hahaha, it's been a while, Mr. Le Yuan, don't you introduce the little girl behind you?" ”

Hearing Heathcliff's voice, Yui's body couldn't stop trembling, leaned his body closer to Le Yuan's body and said softly, "Dad, Yui is afraid of ......"

Le Yuan patted Yui's back and comforted, "It's okay, Dad is here." Then he said to Heathcliff, "This is my daughter, may I ask the head of the regiment any questions?" I actually asked Kiriko to come to me in person. ”

Heathcliff stood up and shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's not a very important thing, but I hope Mr. Leyuan can do me a favor." ”

"Help?" Le Yuan curled his lips and asked, "Is there anything that our First Guild President can't do?" It seems that my ability as a solo player is very limited. ”

Heathcliff didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Le Yuan's mouth, and still said in a good gentlemanly tone: "Hehe, I just want Mr. Le Yuan to join our Blood Alliance Knights, I don't know if you are willing to help with this?" ”

"Let Le Yuan join the Knights of the Blood Alliance?" Asuna repeated in surprise. Then he turned to the side and said, "But Commander, why is this matter so sudden, you haven't discussed it with us......"

"Captain, can I refuse?" I don't know why, Le Yuan asked this question.

"Of course, we Blood Alliance Knights don't force players to join, but Mr. Le Yuan doesn't think about it anymore? When a person is weak, it's easy to lose valuable things, and you should know it very well, and the difficulty of the strategy will get bigger and bigger in the future. Heathcliff looked at Yui intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.

"If I join. What do I get? Speaking of which, Le Yuan has to admit that he has mistaken Heathcliff, originally thought that he still had some bottom line, but now he clearly intends to force Le Yuan to agree to his conditions at the cost of Yui.

"Asuna, Kiriko, can you let me talk to Le Yuanjun alone?" Heathcliff turned to Asuna and the two.

"Well, of course, Yui, come on. Go out with Auntie, and your dad will come out in a moment. Asuna said, taking Yui's hand.

Yui frowned and looked at Le Yuan and said, "Dad......"

"Well, stay with your sister Asuna for a while, I'll be looking for you soon." Rakubuchi handed Yui into Asuna's hands. Kiriko gave Le Yuan a cautious look. He and Asuna left the conference room.

"Squeak-" Soon the door to the conference room was closed, and only Le Yuan and Heathcliff were left in the conference room.

Heathcliff walked up to Le Yuan, looked at Le Yuan condescendingly and said, "Then Le Yuan-kun, do you now understand why I want to talk to you about something alone?" ”

"My true identity?" Le Yuan asked rhetorically. As for how much Akihiko Kayaba knew about their group of outsiders, Le Yuan really wanted to know.

Heathcliff shook his finger and denied, "No, no, no, I'm curious about that. But what I'm more curious about is what do you want to get in this game? ”

"What do you get?" Le Yuan didn't understand what Heatscliffe was trying to say.

"That's right, you and the group of players who disappeared should be from the same place - another world, according to your activities all the time, what mission are you carrying, eager to fight the floor boss and want to raid it, but after they completely learned a certain skill one by one, they disappeared one by one......"

Kayaba Jinghiko deduced the promotion task profile of the promoters based on the data, although there was no percentage to deduce the content of their tasks, but it still made Le Yuan break out in a cold sweat, only to see Heathcliff continued: "Their disappearance I infer that they have completed the request to leave, but after so long, you still have no sign of leaving, I think you are special, and then your performance convinced me of this, are you willing to make a bet with me?" ”

"Bet? What to bet on? Le Yuan was a little unsure of what Heatscliffe wanted to do now.

"You have doubted my identity, and there should already be a lot of evidence, as a reward for your hard work, since you have now completed the 73rd floor, I will give you a chance." Heathcliff opened the main interface and brought up a map and said, "This is the overview of the labyrinth under the Black Iron Palace on the first floor, I want you to get here within three days." ”

Heathcliff's finger pointed to a point in the center of the map and said, "You opened this maze, as long as you can break through to this place in three days, then I will deliver the mental state management support program, Trial Work No. 1 (Yui) to you, and give you a chance to challenge me in public?" ”
