Chapter 712: Picked up a loli, bringing her home...

“Hmm hmm... hmm... hmm...”

Asuna started going to town on the materials Wu Yan bought. Her knife never stopped moving. Assisted by the system, the materials were swiftly processed. She hummed a cheerful tone to express her joyous mood.

Asuna is sure her husband’s cooking skill is better than her, but, she didn’t want to rely on him for all three meals a day. They are husband and wife now, she has to share in some of the tasks, even if his food is really tempting.

She easily finished preparing a few dishes. She proudly looked over her work with arms on her waist.

She tried her dish before she gave her comments.

“My food is pretty good too...”

Asuna looked a bit fake. It’s like she’s trying to sell herself a poor lie, even she was doubting her own words.

In truth, Asuna is great at cooking. At least, she can compete against expert chefs in this world. She also created her own unique sauce, a feat not achievable by those who only relied on upgrading their chef skills. It’s a testament of her mastery over the culinary arts.

Unfortunately, she’s aiming to reach the impossible heights of a monster like Wu Yan.

Asuna placed the completed dishes on the table. She readied the cutleries as she took off her gloves. She untied her apron and she started relaxing on the couch with a cup of tea. She enjoyed the tea with the scenery outside her window.

The glimmering water of the lake and the verdant forest entered her eyes. the green and blue meshed together in perfect unison. No matter how many time Asuna saw this, she never got tired of it.

With a faint smile, she mumbled.

“I should have moved here earlier, this is the life.”

Girl, you just married someone. You’re way past the point where you should be wondering if you should move in together, aren’t you the Flash?

Soon, Asuna stopped looking at the scenery outside as she pursed her lips.

“Where is that guy anyway?”

Then, a familiar but hurried tone entered her ears.

“Asuna! Open up!”

“Yan?”

Asuna gasped but she started heading towards the door anyway.

“What’s wrong? Why can’t you open up the door by yourself?”

Wu Yan bitterly laughed when he heard her.

“My hands are kinda occupied right now...”

Asuna felt even more confused. She opened the door only to see something surprising.

“Who...”

Asuna looked at a certain person Wu Yis giving a piggyback to.

“is it?...”

There was a person on Wu Yan’s back.

She looked like a teenage girl around 10 years old. She was sleeping soundly, at least, her limp hands suggested that she’s definitely not awake right now. Faint breathing sounds could be heard coming from her.

Since Wu Yan was propping her up by her butt, the moment he lets go, she’s going to slide straight down to the floor.

“What’s going on?...”

Asuna examined the girl behind Wu Yan.

“What happened to her?...”

Wu Yan bitterly grinned. He shook his head as he gestured for Asuna to go inside the house.

“Let’s leave that for later, let’s go inside first...”

Asuna nodded as Wu Yan carried the young girl into his home.

He set the girl down on the bed while sighing in relief. They looked at the girl who is still soundly asleep.

She had glossy black hair, tidy bangs, a doll-like smooth expression, and facial features. She’s still young but it isn’t hard to imagine that this girl will definitely become a very beautiful woman in the future. At this rate, she might turn out to be a beauty like Asuna.

Wearing a one-piece white dress, her fashion style was simplistic. She also looked rather peaceful except for the slight frown on her face. She’s probably not having a pleasant dream at the moment.

Wu Yan felt a bit worried. He glanced at Asuna and he looked around the room with an odd look on his face.

Asuna might not know who this girl is but Wu Yan is very clear on her identity.

She’s Yui.

In the original work, Kirito and Asuna found her collapsed in the 22nd Floor’s forest and they brought her back. Things happened and she became something like an adopted daughter to Kirito and Asuna.

It is also because he knew about Yui’s identity that he managed to piece together the information given by the trader and trace it back to Yui. He went searching for her and he brought her back after encountering her.

He sifted through the information inside his head with a weird look.

Kirito and Asuna found Yui in the original work, which ended up with them becoming Yui’s foster parents. He brought Yui back so...

His house is also the same lovenest Kirito and Asuna shared in the original work. This house is now shared with Asuna as their love nest, then that makes Yui...

Wu Yan suddenly felt a bit guilty. Asuna, Yui, this house, Elucidator, Dual Blades, almost everything that belonged to Kirito in the original work became his.

He pretty much screwed over Kirito with his actions.

Luckily, Kirito already has Liz.

I have to treat the guy better from now on...

“Say, Yan...”

Asuna is starting to panic. She tugged on Wu Yan’s sleeve with a worried look.

“Wh-what’s wrong with her?”

Wu Yan reined in his rampant thoughts and he shook his head.

“I don’t know. She was already like this when I found her...”

Wu Yan told Asuna about the Teleport crystal trader incident and how he went searching for Yui in the forest only to find her unconscious so he brought her back. Wu Yan left out the part where he was sure it’s Yui. Instead, he said he wanted to confirm the existence of the ‘Special Monster’, inadvertently finding Yui.

“Is she a player?...”

Asuna frowned.

“Why is she out cold though? Moreover, she’s way too young...”

In SAO only players who own or have the authorization can enter their respective houses. Outsiders, including NPCs can’t enter the homes of players. A sole exception would be for special quests.

Wu Yan brought Yui into his home without any mission being active so that ruled out the possibility of her being an NPC. That means, she has to be a player.

But...

“Why aren’t there any indicators on her?”

Asuna lowered her head.

Aside from dead objects, players, monsters, tamed monsters, generally anything that are alive have HP bars on top of their heads. This girl is alive but she does not have an HP bar on top of her head.

Maybe she’s an inanimate object?

“Hmm...”

Wu Yan narrowed his eyes as he tried to shrug Asuna’s question off.

“Maybe it’s a bug of the system or something?”
