"Kosaka-kun. This is the information you want."

"Thank you, Kikuoka-senpai."

After receiving a document handed over by his colleague, Shota thanked him and started to read through it. It contained information about the new virtual online games that had just been launched on the market. It included almost everything from the situation of the operating company to the status of the server.

Shota's job is to maintain the stability of these games, or to prevent the SAO incident from happening again. Once any malicious situation occurs, the virtual class will be forced to intervene.

"Let's take a short rest. We just came back from a routine checkup. Aren't you tired?"

Kikuoka looked at the junior in front of him who was immersed in the information and sighed. Since he entered this department, in addition to routine online and offline inspections of the game, he has also been investigating the remaining survivors of the SAO incident.

"No. My body has recovered. Thank you for your concern. Yui, help me check this company in detail."

"Um."

After Yui got all the detailed information, Shota discovered that this company just wanted to gamble on this game to save itself from bankruptcy.

"Kosaka-kun..."

Of course Kikuoka knew what he wanted to know, but his purpose did not conflict with rescuing other players. To be honest, in the past two years, people in virtual classes just sat in front of the monitor and could do nothing, especially someone like him

As a civilian, there is nothing else to do except monitor server data. Of course, they have done a good job in transferring players and the like.

Even now, three hundred players who have not yet recovered have been gathered into the same newly built hospital with their consent.

"Kikuoka-senpai, I just want to ask you something about RECT Company."

After Shota sorted out the information in his hand, he asked Kikuoka Seijiro who was sitting across from his desk: "As I was told before, RECT took over the AUGUS company that collapsed due to operating SAO. It is not only responsible for maintenance

While working on the server, we also created [ALO], which is the popular game Fairyland, right?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you investigate the RECT matter when you first came in?"

Kikuoka asked strangely: "Is there any problem?"

"I still think it's more likely that she... they are in ALO." Shota rubbed his temples and said, "Only they can stop players who are disconnected from the SAO server. I also tried not using virtual machines during the front-end time.

Instead of using the permission account provided by the class, I logged into ALO ​​once using an old machine at home.”

"There are still some of your data in SAO, right?"

Kikuoka knew that Shota had said this, and after that incident, they applied for a comprehensive search warrant to search the company, but the other party had no suspicion at all.

"Um."

Shota nodded, then threw a report on the table and said: "The report of the routine inspection, the administrator of this house is still a bit... um, that."

The virtual world is a world that can reveal a person's true nature. Even Kayaba will add that kind of setting. Even if the current virtual online games do not open this function, their games themselves also bring this function. After all, in

When making the sensory system, most game manufacturers copied it from the server established by Kayaba. Therefore, it is common for people with authority to do some obscene things in places where others cannot see it.

But there is no explicit legal provision, and even the virtual class cannot intervene in this kind of behavior. Unless they maliciously attack the players, the virtual class and the police department will jointly intervene in the incident.

However, this kind of shameful thing is not a secret to the virtual class that specializes in supervising game administrators, because even though the new generation of networked virtual machines is very safe, they are cautious enough to make them in Wannian Ship apply to each other.

When opening an online game, implanting a network access license and changing the data flow settings will record various GM activities.

After all, no one stipulates that watching your status in the game is voyeuristic, right?

Moreover, even the operators have no way of knowing or discovering this kind of thing. They only know that virtual classes will be inspected regularly, but they never know the content of the inspection.

Of course, almost every game will expose this kind of problem when it is first launched. Unless the law stipulates that this is a crime, the virtual class can intervene. Otherwise, can we say to them: "Hey, stop hiding.

We discovered through data analysis that you masturbate?"

"Huh, it seems that we really need to castrate this game function, or introduce a law." Kikuoka shook his head, took the report that Shota had just written, glanced at it casually, and said to Shota: "Then

What does it have to do with RECT?"

"I want to know if RECT's GM had any stains during the routine inspection two months ago." Shota paused. He had also participated in the routine inspection of ALO World, but found that the GM of this company had additional

Decent, even during the stipulated lunch break, he sat down to do maintenance work meticulously, instead of playing the mini games that came with it.

"Just now, after Senior Lake came back from RECT Company, he was still saying that the administrators knew their jobs like puppets, which made him fast forward and watch the surveillance for an hour but he didn't see anything... not even playing games secretly. What about before?

?”

"have."

Kikuoka nodded and said: "You want to say why those administrators suddenly became like this after the SAO incident? I think it was probably because they replaced all their internal technical staff a few months ago.

Just once."

"Why do you need to replace them all at once?"

"It's normal for a new department director to take over."

"But it's a bit suspicious to replace them all and look like this now, right?"

"You mean... the current RECT company is too clean, as clean as if it's fake?"

"It's just a guess. So please assign some tasks and work about RECT Company to me."

Shota made a request to Kikuoka. After all, everything was his suspicion, but he was eager to find reasons to question every company, because if he didn't do that, he would have no way to start, or in other words, he wouldn't know what to do...

Even if it was RECT, Asuna's father's company, Shota had tried to investigate it more than once.

"That's a request." Kikuoka smiled. He originally thought Shota would make an impossible request for a comprehensive search because of this, but if it was just this kind of thing, someone needs to be responsible for this aspect anyway, and let him do it in the future.

There is no big problem in doing it.

"I'll talk to the boss, I guess there won't be much of a problem. However, Kosaka-kun, it's already eleven o'clock, shouldn't you stop your work?"

It is only at this time every day that the junior in front of me withdraws from work.

Noticing the time, Shota paused what he was doing, apologized and walked directly outside the headquarters.

"Hey, has Mr. Kosaka left? Fortunately, I finally have a document here that he may be interested in."

Not long after Shota left the office, a mature woman wearing glasses and a white coat walked over.

"It's already 11:03 now. According to his habit, the car should be on the road by now."

Kikuoka casually answered the questions of his colleagues in front of him.

"It's really infatuated. I drive a total of forty minutes back and forth every day during lunch break to see the sleeping princess, just to see her for twenty minutes. I seem to go there every day before and after get off work, right?"

"Absolutely. It's been like this since his body didn't fully recover. By the way, what documents are they? Can you show them to me?"

"It's nothing, it's just some real-life background information about several GMs in ALO. I was asked to get it half an hour ago."

"Yeah?"

Kikuoka took over and looked at the information of those people, but the expression on his face became a little strange.

"Have you reached the point of posting to show off? It seems that the RECT company may have noticed the surveillance software in the backdoor of our license. Unexpectedly, Kosaka-kun's daily conspiracy theory finally sounds reasonable today.

But why is RECT happening? Isn’t he a subsidiary of the Yuuki family? Maybe he just knows about the existence of monitoring software..."

"If most people knew about it, they would definitely pretend not to know, right?"

The mature woman said: "After all, if we find out about this matter, let alone punishment or something, at least the relationship will be tense, right? These days, if you open a virtual online game, you dare to offend our department, but you haven't yet. What do you decide to do?

?Report to BOSS? Or check again?"

"The evidence is not enough. BOSS will not believe this inference. All he needs is evidence. If there is a surprise inspection, we have no excuse. After all, we just introduced it this morning. We can only wait for the next routine investigation. After all, if the matter is serious,

If there is no guarantee of victory with one blow, the only thing we can do is to alert the enemy. If the matter is not serious, it doesn’t matter if this happens one more day or one day less.”

Kikuoka pondered for a moment and said: "It just so happens that Kousaka-kun has returned his target to RECT this time. Let him let go of the investigation as he wishes. I will tell him when he comes back."

"Mom. Dad is also working very hard to find you today."

Shota sat next to Asuna's hospital bed, eating a quick lunch bought from the store downstairs, and watching Yui slowly talking to Asuna there.

It took five minutes to finish lunch. Shota reached out and held Asuna's hand that was lying outside. He sat quietly like this for fifteen minutes without saying a word. When Yui reminded him that the time was up, he stood up again.

.

"Say goodbye to mom."

"Bye, Mom, we'll see you after get off work."

Yui waved to Asuna on the phone, and Shota covered Asuna with the quilt again, put her cold hands into the soft cup, and prepared to leave.

"Ah, is it Kousaka-kun? You're here too today."

"Well, Mr. Yuuki, excuse me."

Shota said hello to Yuuki's father who came to visit his daughter. Then he turned his attention to the person who came in behind him.

Wearing glasses, I guess he was a few years older than Xiang, and he looked very polite.

Sugou Nobuyuki, the adopted son of the Yuki family, was what Asuna used to call her brother. However, when Asuna talked to Shota later in the play, she didn't like the person in front of her very much. Now the director of RECT Company is in charge.

Maintenance of old SAO server and new ALO server.

Shota knew the information about the person in front of him very well. Although it was the first time for him to face him face to face like this.

"It doesn't matter. If you can come, she will definitely be very happy."

Yuki's father put the flowers in his hands back into the vase, glanced at his daughter, and then found that Shota's eyes seemed to be on the person behind him, and then said: "By the way, this is the first time we meet. Sugu, this is

This is Kousaka, Kousaka Shota. Kousaka-kun, this is my son, Sugou."
