"She had no special skills, and even her equipment was all basic. If Yui was a player, then she must have stayed within safe zones until now.
"But strangely, no one had ever heard her name, whether in Roundtable City or Starting Village.
"If she entered the game alone, then her real parents in the real world must be terribly worried..."
Asuna murmured.
"Yeah, if she really was a player," Kiriko said.
"But if Yui wasn't a player or an NPC, then what could she be?" Asuna was troubled by the question.
"Hmm..." Kiriko was thinking as well.
Asuna's face was filled with boundless tenderness, but beneath that tenderness was also a trace of sadness.
"Don't worry, Asuna. Even if it takes us several more years to clear the game, not much time will pass in the real world," Kiriko said.
"But if that's the case..." Asuna pondered. "If Yui really is a person, should we adopt her?"

[X][This is different from the original story.]
[X][The players' current progress is still less than one-third.]
[X][No matter how much they speed things up, clearing the game won't be easy.]
[X][I checked. In the original story, President Asuna wanted to clear the game quickly so Yui could reunite with her parents.]

[X][So this is even more explosive than the original.]
[X][In the original story, Yui sacrifices herself in the Iron Palace, and Kiriko preserves her data afterward. But there's no Iron Palace on the minus-first floor here.]
[X][It feels like Yui's arrival in this world is different from the original story too.]
After showing Asuna and Kiriko's little family of three, the scene shifted elsewhere.
