This is not the date I wanted.

"what is love?"

Before Maria could finish her words, Shidou quietly expressed his guess, to which Maria nodded affirmatively.

This was the question asked by Shidou when he first met Maria.

"I'm afraid this is the key that Fraxinus's main computer set to unlock the blockade based on some kind of judgment."

Then, unlike a computer that can only make logical judgments, Ju Ya, who has already developed a vague consciousness, began to look for answers to the questions with the original human desire for knowledge and curiosity.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Ju Ya lowered his head in shame.

"That's not the case. Maria is just doing what she should do. Besides, things haven't gotten that bad."

Seeing Maria looking dejected, Shidou hurriedly comforted her.

Judging from Junai's surprised expression just now, it was obvious that the development of the matter was beyond her expectations.

After hearing what Shidao said, Maria's expression improved a little, but then she looked at Mengyue with some confusion.

"But... I clearly felt that 90% of the management rights in Fraxinus' computer had been taken away by Junai. Mengyue, what method did you use to stop the other party's riot?"

"Well... this is a bit complicated."

Meng Yue pondered for a moment and tried to express it in the simplest language possible.

"To put it simply, it's something like command destruction. Through a special computer program... in this case, it should be a virus. The computer's command will be disassembled into meaningless garbled code that the decoder cannot interpret when it is sent. Since the magic focus cannon received an invalid command, it naturally did not respond."

Shidou said he was confused when he heard this.

[…To put it in a more abstract way…originally, in this computer world, Mariya…built something like a shield that “isolated the outside world”, and on this basis, Mengyue arranged a layer of “filter net” outside, and after the shield set by Mariya was removed, the filter net decomposed and destroyed the instructions issued by Mariya…well…if I were to use a term that even monkeys can understand…for example, it is like using a crane to lift a car that is about to hit a wall into the air to avoid a car accident…it is enough for you to understand it this way.]

...Although he did understand, but for some reason, Shidou felt like Reine was treating him like an idiot.

However, unlike Shidou who accepted this statement reluctantly, Maria showed an expression of shock and disbelief on her face.

"How is that possible... This is equivalent to completely separating Fraxinus' computer from the airship. Let's not talk about how this is done... If this is true, all of Fraxinus's equipment will not be able to operate, and the airship will fall directly to the ground."

"what!!!"

Isn't this even worse than before? Shidao's face turned pale instantly.

[Well... don't worry about that. Currently, Fraxinus is being controlled by another computer.]

"is that so……"

Maria's face was full of doubt, but it wasn't because she was competitive or had a fighting spirit. In fact, there was really no other computer in Ratatoskr that could match her performance.

No! There is indeed one!

A supercomputer that can issue tens of millions of instructions per second to the main computer that filters Fraxinus, and can also serve as a substitute for Fraxinus' main computer to maintain the functions of the airship.

"Ratziel"

It was created by an elf through wishes, and possesses super-strong calculation and computational capabilities far beyond the scope of human understanding - a tangible miracle.

As if confirming Ju Ya's idea, Meng Yue nodded.

"Well, before entering this computer world, just in case, I didn't remove the spiritual suit and left the angel in the real world."

In fact, as to how to control the airship, the Dawn Sage was only imitating the operating records left by Ju Ya. However, as for the part of constructing the filtering virus, it took the Dawn Sage quite a long time because there was no Meng Yue's command.

Although it is long, in the real world, it only takes a dozen minutes.

Except for the fact that it cannot generate autonomous consciousness, the performance of this angel completely surpasses the current level of human computers.

"Mengyue, did you expect this to happen?"

Shidou couldn't help but ask.

"It hasn't gotten to this point... but I felt something was amiss at the time, so I kept the Dawn Sage just in case."

When invading the computer world, Kotori told herself that the only computer that could produce artificial intelligence was Maria, Ratatoskr. But in fact, she discovered two high-level artificial intelligences.

In fact, the unusual date on the third and fourth days, as well as the hacking ability with Miku in the karaoke bar, were also a small miracle that happened after Ratziel (Sage of the Dawn) received Meng Yue's subconscious wish.

"To be honest, there are far more things that can be done." At this point, Meng Yue suddenly looked at Shidao with a slightly apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Shidao, in fact, at the beginning, I could take everyone away from this computer world."

"Varied--"

They were so surprised that they were speechless. Meng Yue's words could be said to be the most shocking news that Shidao and Maria had ever heard.

There is no need to understand what love is, nor is there any need to defeat Junai. With the ability of Ratziel (Sage of Dawn), Mengyue can directly crack the firewall set up by Ju Ya, expel Junai, and leave this computer world directly.

Upon hearing the news, Ju Ya's face showed anger, and he stared at Meng Yue and questioned her.

You know, even if the Sage of the Dawn maintains the current situation, Ormori Junai has 90% of the management authority of Fraxinus, and this has not changed.

"If that's the case, why didn't you bring Shidou and everyone back to their original world from the beginning!? Why did you clearly love Shidou? Why didn't you stop me at the time? Why did you let him fall into this situation?"

If Mengyue's plan is divided into three options: best, medium and worst, Mengyue would choose the worst option.

She didn't understand why Mengyue had to go through such roundabout ways when there was obviously a more efficient way to solve the problem.

Meng Yue remained silent in response to Ju Ya's questioning.

"Don't say it, Juya."

Patting Maria's shoulder gently, Shidou slowly shook his head.

This might be a little hard to understand for Maria, but for Shidao, Ryougi Yumezuki's actions were not strange at all.

"Because, if you leave this world directly... Maria, not only will you not understand what love is, but you will also disappear, right?"

"Shidou!?"

Maria looked at Shidou in disbelief, wondering why Shidou knew this.

"Your expression this morning gave me some guesses...and Meng Yue's actions confirmed my guess."

As he said this, Shidao gave a helpless bitter smile to Mengyue who turned away his gaze awkwardly at this moment.

Since we know that the blockade will be lifted the moment Shidou and Maria realize love, why didn't Mengyue run out to stop them when Shidou and Maria were kissing?

"There are probably two reasons why Meng Yue did this," Shidao explained to Maria, "First, it is to allow Maria to continue to exist."

"For me?" Ju Ya looked at Meng Yue in surprise.

Meng Yue did not deny Shidao's explanation, but nodded slightly.

"When she understands what love is, Maria's structure will be close to perfection. When her authority is taken away by Maruna, I can modify Maria without hurting her, so that she can exist as an independent individual. And... I think that Maria has human emotions and has the right to understand love just like humans. I can't erase Maria's growth because of my own selfish thoughts."

Perhaps among all people, Liangyi Mengyue is the one who treats Ju Ya the most as a human being and an ordinary girl.

Knowing this, Ju Ya felt very guilty and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry... I said such an inappropriate thing even though it was obviously for me."

"It's okay, I just wanted to do this."

Meng Yue shook her head to indicate that she didn't mind.

"As for the second point..." Shidou smiled bitterly and said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "To save Maruna."

"!?"

Seeing that Maria was completely shocked and speechless, Shidao couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, even he felt that his guess was a bit ridiculous. After all, this side and DEM were complete enemies.

But every time he thought of that night, the girl who slowly enjoyed the warm lunch with him, and who got flustered because of shyness when her name was written on the lunch box, and whose words and actions were like those of a dishonest little black cat, Gokawa Shido could not regard Juna as an enemy no matter what.

Perhaps Mengyue understands this feeling much better than himself.

"Ju Ya and Junai are both important family members, so we can't abandon either of them, right Meng Yue?"

After a long time, Meng Yue gave a helpless bitter smile.

"Shidou actually saw through me to this extent... Am I really as stupid as Kurumi said?"

This statement is equivalent to acknowledging Shidao's statement.

"I can't understand... what exactly is going on between Mengyue and Shidao." After a long silence with mixed feelings, Maria smiled, "However, since Shidao and Mengyue both said so, I believe that Maruna should not be a bad person..."

Meng Yue felt relieved to have Ju Ya's understanding.

"Thank you for forgiving Juya."

"Well... I understand, but how should I put it... I feel very unwilling to accept it."

Looking at Shidou and Mengyue, Maria showed a distressed smile on her face for some reason.　

15 world change

==============================

Junai is at the deepest level of the game - the data management layer.

"I see. A virus network was set up outside the computer world to isolate it. No wonder Fraxinus didn't respond to any instructions."

Junai said with a serious look.

Now that Junai has most of the administrator privileges, he easily found the cause of the abnormality.

Being able to achieve something that he thought was impossible, Junai couldn't help but sigh that Ratziel (Sage of the Dawn) was truly a dangerous angel.

To be honest, with the performance of this angel, it is not impossible to kill Junai right now.

"But... I'm still alive now."

Looking at his white and slender palms, he felt no signs of weakness or destruction. He even felt stronger than ever before.

Although this did not give Junai much sense of security.

"Even now... you have no intention of giving up on me, Mengyue..."

Junai showed a complicated bitter smile on his face, but soon, he turned back to his cold and ruthless look.

"Then let me use this opportunity to make you regret your naivety."

Although he cannot control the airships in the real world, the fact that Junai has the authority to manage this world remains unchanged. Once the virus network of the Dawn Sage is cracked, the situation will completely turn to Junai's side.

Having said that, even today, Junai still finds this troublesome barrier difficult to deal with.

However, there is a simpler and more straightforward method.

No matter how powerful an angel is, once it loses its user, it is nothing more than a tool without intelligence. As long as the angel's master is eliminated, all problems will be solved.

Should I say this is a lucky thing? At this moment, this user is in a computer world that Junai can interfere with.

"Kill Liang Yi Meng Yue..."

Junai felt as if her heart was being gripped, and an inexplicable feeling of suffocation blocked her chest.

"I...I will complete the mission given to me by my father...In order to realize the meaning of my existence...In order to be recognized...I will do whatever it takes!"

There was a slight tremor in her voice, and Junai herself didn't even notice that her cheeks were twisted in pain.

—————————————————————————————————————I am the dividing line that diverts attention————————————————————————————————————————

In short, Shidou and Maria followed Mengyue and returned to their home first to reunite with everyone.

Although this is what he said, at this time, Tiangong City has completely turned into a building block house made of colorful blocks. Shidao has no idea how Mengyue recognized his home from this pile of pixel blocks.

"——Oh! Shidou, here, here!"

Tohka's voice came from the front, Shidou looked over and saw that everyone was waiting for him at the door of their home.

"Is everyone okay?"

Tohka nodded energetically.

"Hmm, no problem at all. I was just shocked when I saw the soybean flour bread in my hand suddenly turned into a strange yellow brick. I was still wondering if I could eat it when everyone stopped me."

Seeing Tohka hugging her arms and sighing, Shidou couldn't help but frown. However, she looked so energetic, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"Compared to us, Darling, are you okay?! Maria-chan, are you injured anywhere?"

"It's no problem, thank you for your concern."

Feeling Mijiu's relationship with him, Maria felt warm in her heart and smiled and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"Everyone, do you understand the current situation?"

In response to Shidou's question, Kurumi chuckled and nodded.

"When Mr. Shidao and Ms. Maria went on a date, Ms. Mengyue told us everything."
