Volume 94: Revealing Truth

(This is gonna be a short one because I just want to end it)
(Rinko's POV)
It's been almost a month since the whole Underworld incident. A lot of things have happened since then, like Yami, Kirito, Asuna and Sachi all falling into a coma or something because of staying in the Underworld for two hundred years. I've been kept in the loop by some technician named Takeru Higa after he learned what happened in the Underworld, and I have to say I'm grateful for that.

Right now a press conference for the unveiling of the first two true artificial intelligence is happening, Eugeo and Alice. Technically, I'm there since they were just down below me as I was on top of the building they were doing it under.

Rinko: And I would like to introduce you...

I looked down at my phone which showed a scientist with green hair in a blue suit.

Rinko; Alice, Edith and Eugeo!

She motioned off camera and I had to wait until they both got in view to see how they looked.

Then I saw them, a girl and a boy, both of which were in navy blue blazers. The girl had long, shining golden hair. Skin whiter than snow. Long legs and a slender build. The boy had short, flaxen hair, emerald eyes and a slender build like the girl but a bit bigger than her. The girl had a grayish ponytail, skin was white, same long legs and a slender build with her eyes being red.

The three stared down at the reporters in silence. Their looks were not quite Western and not quite Eastern. The crowd steadily began to fall silent.

The corners of their mouths curled up into a suggestion of a smile, the girl and boy both performed something I had seen countless times in the Underworld. They made a soft fist with their right hand, then touched it level to their left breast. Their left hand hung down and brushed their sides, as though resting atop the hilt of an invisible sword.

Then returned to a neutral posture, the girl looked over at the boy who made a motion for her to talk. The girl turned forward, swept the hair off her shoulders, and over her back, and parted her light pink lips. A clear, clean voice with a hint of sweetness travelled over the speakers of my phone.

Alice: It's a pleasure to meet you, people of the real world. My name is Alice. Alice Synthesis Thirty.

Next was the boy who also spoke in a clear, clean voice with a hint of warmness on the surface.

Eugeo: It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Eugeo.

Finally the grayish hair girl spoke.

Edith: nice to meet you all, my name is Edith Synthesis Ten

The three of them were wearing the school uniforms of the survivor school for SAO survivors since Alice had requested it. Eugeo wasn't against it since he usually wore an all-blue outfit and it's sorta similar to that so I guess I'm not surprised he is fine with it. Edith just went along with Alice.

Honestly, the recreation was beyond comprehensible since the both of them looked exactly as they did in the Underworld, just without the swords at their sides. Though, I haven't seen them since we got out of the Underworld or in Alice's case, just before the whole battle of the Underworld began.

I don't know the reason why I avoided everyone from the Underworld who I fought alongside, but I could guess it had to do with them knowing my true identity from Aincrad. That's pathetic of me since I only kept in contact with Rath since they were my only connection to Yami's body, hoping he would wake up. Speaking of which I should pay Higa a visit in Roppongi to check up on them.

Rinko: Now, while this might seem a bit exceptional, I would like to start with a question and answer demonstration.

The voice of the scientist came from the earphones I just plugged in while I shoved my phone into my pocket.

Scientist: What makes Ms. Alice and Mr. Eugeo different from existing programmable robots?"

A male voice asked, probably some reporter from some big news handle.

Scientist: It's their brain... or what we're calling her brain."

The scientist answered.

Scientist: The conscious that exists in the photonic brain stored within their skulls is not a program that can be rewritten with binary code. It's essentially no different from our human brains. That's what makes them categorically different from existing robots.

Then a hand appeared in Eugeo's shadow as it pulls itself up to reveal Yami!? But he looked more different.

Kitsune: much better.

Everyone was shocked to see Yami but Alice, Edith and Eugeo weren't well more confused.

Eugeo: So Yami send you?

Kitsune: yes because he wants to tell the trust.

He takes a deep breath and spoke.

Kitsune: my master, Yami isn't from here.

More confusion even I was confused.

Kitsune: what I mean is that Yami was never born in this universe. He's a observer, a god or gods and goddesses who watches the multiverse.

He transformed which it was his soul reaper form as Yami used it before.

Kitsune: my master's goal was to save everyone from pain and suffering. From the start of the SAO Incident to ALO event to the GGO Murders and finally War of Underworld.

A reporter asked him a question.

Reporter: then where is he from?

Kitsune: reality or Beyond the Fourth Wall. That's where he and everyone else live they don't have powers, they're normal people like you but you all are just fictional characters bounded by the screen, papers and codes.

This shocked everyone and I was shocked that I'm a fictional character from Beyond the Fourth Wall.

Kitsune: the reason Observers can come to the fictional world is Death. My master had died in his world and came to this world to save people. That's why there were less deaths in the SAO Incident because master had powers that even you can't even imagine.

He gotten serious as a dark aura surrounds him.

Kitsune: you can't not be making such weapons. This isn't a race of who can make the best weapons, any country will copy any weapons and use it against you. This is not just Japan but the entire world.

He grabs a camera as he spoke to the people of the world.

Kitsune: you hear me? This is not a god dam game. This is life and you want war? Then so beat it, you will only have yourself to blame because of your egos. My master wants people to be happy not in pain. You must deal your own people that are damaging your own country  like PoH and Miller.

He takes a deep breath as the aura was gone.

Kitsune: but I must give a warning, at September 27, 2026 there will be an earthquake. Do not I repeat DO NOT use any of your game systems and wait for the earthquake to end.

I was making mental notes but this warning.

Kitsune: anyways more questions? Oh please don't upset any of those people or else I will make sure you don't fucking breath, master has started a relationship with Eugeo for a while and we don't want him to make you all feel his wrath, okay?

No response until Kitsune got frustrated and taken out a Glock.

Kitsune: DO YOU FUCKING AGREE!?

Everyone rapidly nodded their heads as he chuckles and I think I just pissed myself.

(Timeskip)

Groans were heard as Kazuto was the first one to open his eyes. He looks up that he's isn't in Underworld at all, he's in a hospital he looks around to see that Asuna and Sachi were still resting but Yami wasn't with them.

He gotten worried until the door opened as Yami walked in with food on a tray that he's carrying. This wake up Asuna and Sachi as they yawned and stretched their arms out.

Yami: seems that you're all awake now. Now that you're all here, I should tell you all the truth.

He takes a deep breath and he spoke.

Yami: I'm not from this universe.

Sachi: universe? What do you mean by that?

Yami: I was never born here, I was sent here and I'm an Observer.

Asuna: Observer?

Yami: those are gods and goddesses who watches the multiverse and had it play out. We live our Earth called Reality or Beyond the Fourth Wall. You guys are just fictional characters, by drawings, codes anything.

Kazuto: so that means.

Yami: fate had already set your futures, Sachi was going to die along with Moonlit Black Cats, Yuna, the players that we fought with against the Skull Reaper, Yuuki, Eugeo, Quinella, Cardinal.

Asuna: if you hadn't came here then more deaths would happened.

Sachi: but how are you sent here?

Yami: the only way that any Observers can be sent is Death and Kazuto did you remember when we were with Keiko(Silica) back in SAO?

Kazuto: oh my god, your family died for real?

Yami: yes I was the last one to live longer until my death which was the same accident that my mother had died from.

Asuna: but what happened to your family?

Yami: my father shot himself in the head at his work place. This made into the news and my siblings well my brother had hanged himself while my sister who lasted longer had died from drug overdose.

Sachi: Yami, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you and your family died from such pain and sadness.

Yami: yes but I was able to forge new happiness which was saving you all and becoming the people I love.

Asuna: Yami, We're thankful for you being on our side.

Yami: yeah I'm proud. Eat up before your food gets cold.

Soon they eat their food slowly as they've been resting for a long time. Kikuoka walked in with sunglasses.

Yami: you know you could've chosen a better look.

Kikuoka: seems that you're all up.

Yami: so what happened?

Kikuoka: well since you revealed yourself to the whole world that you're a god, you gave all of the leaders of each country that they would be blamed because the wars we were in the past because of their egos.

Yami: well good seems that there isn't gonna be wars until some rouge person begins on. Anything else?

Kikuoka: well we found bodies at the ocean we were able to get information but the sharks taken the bodies for their lunch.

Yami: seems that the guys that I summoned did their part.

Kikuoka: yeah along with bring Quintella, Cardinal, Ronye, Tiese, Shetya and Fanatio to the real world.

Kazuto: wait you brought them here!?

Yami: yes because same stuff that Eugeo, Alice and Edith when through.

Kikuoka: yes we were able to update Underworld as the place had evolved overtime but we had to put them in deep freeze.

Sachi: oh but I hope they're okay.

Yami: yeah it was kinda difficult to have them get used to the modern world but it worked out. Now that's clear with everyone can rest easy without another VRMMO Incidents again for a while.

Asuna: now what?

Yami: well I have to go to another universe to stop the suffering and have less deaths.

Kazuto: that means you're leaving us? After all we've been through!?

Yami: that I'm still working on so you have to wait until I can give you an answer on that. Now we relax, play dead Kikuoka? Remember I might not save your ass, you gotta be careful.

Kikuoka: sure I'll be careful.

Then Kikuoka left as Yami looked at the sun in his deep thoughts.

Yami: now this world is saved then now it's the next one huh mother?

Raikou: yes my dear, but we have to be careful with my husband and your sister.

Yami: yeah I have to become stronger not just for my sake but everyone's sake.
