If Asuna woke up in the middle of the night and saw a little girl staring at her through the window, she would probably scream in fright and unleash a full-force sword combo.

Although the other party disappeared immediately, she became much more sober after witnessing this scene.

After a moment's thought, she decided to change her clothes and quietly leave the room without disturbing Asuna, who was fast asleep nearby.

Standing at the entrance of the guesthouse, she began:

"What do you want from me?"

It was past three in the morning, and there were hardly any players on the streets of the city. Under the dim streetlights, the empty streets made the whole city seem particularly desolate.

If someone else were to see Fujimaru Ritsuka talking to thin air all by herself, they would probably find it rather creepy.

However, not long after she spoke, a little girl with black hair appeared out of thin air in front of her, looking at her somewhat shyly.

"Ritsuka-sama."

The girl with black hair who was just looking at them from the window was the one in front of them. She was an AI named Yui who was born in SAO.

"I'm sorry, Lady Ritsuka, I didn't mean to bother you."

Yui apologized softly, and upon hearing this, she shook her head and smiled, unconcerned.

"No need to apologize, I woke up on my own. But what are you doing leaning against the window? Do you want to see me about something?"

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't seem to mind, Yui became a little more lively and replied with a smile:

"No, it's nothing, I'm just observing."

"observe?"

She was slightly puzzled by this.

Observe what? Observe them sleeping? What's so interesting to observe about that?

In response to her doubts, Yui nodded in affirmation:

"Yes, sleep takes up a third of a human day and is an indispensable physiological need, so it is certainly worth observing."

Well, if you put it that way, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it.

Then she remembered the rumor Argo had told her at dinner and asked her about it out of curiosity.

"Wow, so many people know about me now?"

The two sat down on the steps by the street. After listening to Fujimaru Ritsuka's story, Yui admitted that the ghost was probably herself, but she was also surprised that so many people knew about her.

"However, I am not carrying any special mission."

"I see. It seems those people are going to leave disappointed."

Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and asked curiously again:

"What are you doing, appearing in various parts of SAO like that? Are you also observing?"

"Yes!"

Yui answered enthusiastically:

"Since I am still a newly born AI, BB asked me to work hard to collect data to grow, which is why I am observing everywhere."

However, if it's just about collecting data, receiving it directly in the game's backend would be the fastest way, but BB wouldn't allow her to do that and insisted that she maintain a specific image, relying on her senses to observe like a human.

"Although I don't quite understand it yet, BB said that doing this is very helpful for my self-awareness."

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't quite understand either, but this was probably AI's parenting philosophy.

Strange knowledge has been added.

"That's why I've been traveling around observing the world, its scenery, plants, trees, and monsters."

"Although this method of information gathering is inefficient, it's really interesting. I've also learned that this is how humans see the world!"

It was like seeing the colors of the world for the first time, seeing all kinds of animals and plants, and smelling the fragrance of flowers.

Yui enthusiastically shared her experiences and observations from this period of time, and seemed very happy.

At this moment, Yui was like a newborn baby, and everything was new and exciting to her.

"But what I find most interesting are the players in SAO, that is, the humans!"

She asked with a smile:

"Hey, why?"

"Because the players' behavior and thoughts are completely beyond the control of the program!"

Yui's eyes sparkled as she excitedly said:

"Although BB-sama has modified SAO and added some things that I don't quite understand, plants, animals and NPCs are generally still acting according to the programmed settings."

"But it's different with the players. When you're observing them, you never know what they're planning to do next or what they're thinking. There are surprises all the time!"

Seeing her adorable appearance, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but reach out and rub her little head. Yui was stunned for a moment, then cooperated like a kitten and rubbed against her, looking very content.

Just then, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly remembered something and asked Yui:

"Speaking of which, is it really okay for you to chat with me like this? I remember BB saying something like that before."

"!!!"

Yui immediately realized that BB had told her not to bother Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Oops!"

So she immediately distanced herself from Fujimaru Ritsuka, looking around nervously as if checking if BB had noticed her behavior.

Perhaps realizing that BB hadn't noticed what was happening, Yui breathed a sigh of relief, then asked her somewhat nervously:

"Lord Ritsuka, have I disturbed you?"

She smiled and said:

"Of course not. I'm happy to chat with Yui."

Hearing her say that, Yui immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then showed a happy smile.

"Fortunately, BB has been quite busy lately and doesn't seem to have noticed what's going on here yet. But I should go now, or we might really be discovered!"

As she said this, Yui prepared to leave, but before she did, she seemed to remember something and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"By the way, Ritsuka-sama, I heard from BB-sama that you're going to leave the game after clearing the fifth floor?"

"Well, that should be it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded; at least that was the agreement she and BB had made.

"That's it"

After receiving her affirmative answer, a hint of disappointment flashed across Yui's face, but she quickly recovered and waved enthusiastically at her:

"Well then, Lady Ritsuka, I'll be going now. See you later!"

"Okay, goodbye, Yui."

Then Yui disappeared again, and she turned around, ready to go back to her room to continue sleeping.

However, two things that Yui revealed at the final moment of parting bothered her.

First, let's talk about BB's recent situation. Yui said that the reason BB hasn't noticed what's going on here is because she's been quite busy lately.

But what is she busy with?

Are they busy designing monsters or mechanics to hinder her from completing the game or to make things difficult for her?

Another thing is the fleeting look of disappointment on Yui's face when she learned that they were leaving.

As a newly awakened AI who only fully awakened with BB's help, BB is like a mother, an older sister, and a teacher to Yui.

Therefore, she could understand Yui's disappointment just now; she was probably reluctant to see BB leave.

Um.

Although she couldn't help but think of some solutions, such as bringing Yui back to Chaldea with her, her thoughts didn't seem to be the most important thing about this matter.

The important thing is to see what BB and Yui, as the parties involved, think.

This question can be asked next time you meet BB. As for now—

Go to sleep first.

The next day, the three set off from [Urubas] and headed straight for the front line of their current campaign, [Mamero Village].

Players only made it to [Mamero Village] yesterday afternoon, so the village is still quite lively today. They also saw some players who participated in the first floor BOSS raid.

Not only the players who were at the forefront of strategy, but also some production-oriented players moved here to start businesses.
