Chapter 63: My Time With You
I was lying down on the grass, and Lily sat on my chest.
[It''s beautiful]
"Yeah"
The stars here are beautiful in this world. I can see them all day...it should be all night.
[Are the real world stars like this too?]
"Yeah, it used to be more beautiful than this but now..."
They y VR games to admire the scenery. If they had admired the real world like this too, then maybe it would be a beautiful ce again.
[I want to see your world]
"...."
What am I supposed to say here? She wants to see the real world; she wants to go outside the game. How should I answer her? She is a program, she may be unique, as Rias said, but she only exists in the game...she can only live in the game...she can''t...
[Adas? What''s wrong?]
"It''s nothing."
[You look sad. What''s wrong?]
She climbed to my face and sat on my forehead.
"What are you doing?"
[I want to stay close to you]
"You are close to my eyes."
[Do you not like it?]
"It''s not like that."
I don''t mind it anymore. I like being with her. I want to spend more time with her. I want to be with her...huh? That feeling in my chest is gone.
"Hey Lily"
[Hmm?]
"You can ess the database, right? I want you to look for something."
[What is it?]
"Can you look for the yer? Her real name is Lier Parkson."
[Found her!]
"Tell me about her."
She told me everything about Lier...her game information.
"Now search for Rias."
[Who is Rias?]
"Do you remember that girl yesterday?"
[The one who kissed you?]
"Yes, and don''t remind me of that."
[I can''t find anyone with that name. What is her real name?]
"Her real name is Rias."
[There is no yer with that name in the database]
"I see."
My guess was correct. She is not a yer; she is something else.
[There was something strange about that girl]
"Strange?"
[It''s hard to describe, but she was giving off strange vibes]
"....."
[She was the same as the top yer]
"Top yer?"
[Bryon Perk, the top 3rd yer]
"She is the same as him?"
[Both of them gives strange vibes]
Strange vibes? What does that mean!
"Who is the top 1st yer?"
[There is no top yer]
"What?"
[Top 1st ce is empty. There is no yer]
"....."
Now I am more confused!
"Those yers were asking me if I am the top yer or not"
[You were so cool today]
"How many times will you say it?"
[But you were awesome today]
"I was scared, though."
[Scared of heights?]
"Yeah, but only at first. I am not scared of heights anymore."
[Adas is incredible!]
She flew and sat on my chest.
"Why are you so cheerful today?"
[I am d that I got to meet you]
"It''s the same for me."
I raised my hand to touch her---I stopped when I remembered what happened yesterday. What if I did something to her again? I am scared of hurting her. I am afraid of losing her.
[You are making that face again]
"I..."
[Adas!]
"Yes?"
[I am your pixie. Your partner, your guide]
"Yes, you are."
[I am just program]
"...."
[It''s okay for me to dream, right?]
"Yeah"
[It''s okay for me to wish for something, right?]
"Yeah"
[It''s okay for me to love, right?]
"Yeah"
[Even if it is something impossible?]
"Just say the word, and I will grant your every wish"
[I want to be with you]
"You are with me."
[Not here, I want to be with you all the time]
"....."
It hurts. My chest hurts.
[I know it''s impossible, but I want to wish for it]
"Lily..."
[I can wish for it, right?]
"Yeah"
[Can I be with you?]
"Yeah"
I have never bothered learning programming and stuff, but now just you wait, I will know everything...everything and grant her wish.
[The stars are beautiful]
"Yeah"
[I am sure the real world is more beautiful]
"Yeah"
If she wants me to create a new world, I will do it. If she wants me to help her, I will help her. If she wants me to save her, I will keep her because I...
[Adas. The server will close in a minute...Adas? He fell asleep. He has been ying the game for 9 hours after all]

[Let''s see if I can do it or not]
Lily flew from Das''s chest and closed her eyes. Her tiny body glowed, and her body size changed to a girl in herte teens.
[It worked]
Lilynded on the ground and sat beside Das. She put his head on herp.
[Didn''t I say I can change my form]
She kept smiling while caressing his white hair.
[Adas...I can call you Das, right?]
[You gave me a life, to a program. You are my hero]
She said with a happy smile on her face.
[I know everything about you. I saw your memories when you touched me for the first time; it was so sad that I couldn''t help but cry]
Tears fell on Das''s face from her eyes.
[Those 12 years you spent in the dark after you were born, waking up for some hours every year. I know it all even though you don''t remember them]
[I will do my best to support you because I love you. I will protect you. I won''t let anything happen to you because I love you]
[My time with you, it''s precious, it''s important to me. I know I can''te to your world, but I believe you. I believe in my hero; you can do anything because we are the same; we both are systems. The only difference is that you are human, and I am a program. We are both connected]
She leaned forward and kissed him as tears fell down her face.
[The Server Is closed. The Remaining yer Will Be Logged Out]
[See you, Das]
She disappeared, and Das''s head hit the ground.

Did I fall asleep? Huh? Is my face wet...water?
"Lily?"
She is not here...the server is closed.
"I couldn''t tell her, Bye-bye."
I logged out. My body didn''t hurt; my head didn''t hurt.
"It''s 1:02 Am"
I have a morning school now. I should sleep.
