Facts proved that Yui and Asuna's encounter was just as compatible as in the original SAO story.
In less than three days, the relationship between Yui and Asuna grew from unfamiliarity to intimacy, becoming as close as true blood relatives.
At first, Asuna had treated Yui as a child who needed care, but within just a few days, she began seeing her as her real daughter.
Yui's place in Asuna's heart rose at an astonishing speed, almost reaching the same level as Morin's. It even reached the point where Asuna returned to the Star Flame guild residence with Yui and Morin, eager to introduce her to the others.
Naturally, news that the famous Black Swordsman and the Star Flame guild leader now had a daughter spread like wildfire throughout the Star Flame headquarters.
Whether it was Morin's acquaintances or Asuna's friends, they were all equally stunned.
A daughter? Were they kidding? Could you even have children in a virtual game like SAO?
Even if marriage was possible, Yui was clearly a young girl who looked around ten years old.
Guild Leader Morin, just what kind of outrageous things had you done to Miss Asuna, who had only just turned sixteen?
Cough cough.
Anyway, after facing a round of odd and suspicious glances, Morin had no choice but to explain the situation clearly, feeling both helpless and amused.
After hearing the explanation, even Klein, leader of the Fuurinkazan guild, and the others finally relaxed their expressions.
As for Yui, her pure and adorable personality instantly won over the Star Flame guild players, and she quickly became a beloved member of Star Flame.

On the sixth day after meeting Yui, at the lakeside villa on the 22nd floor.
Early morning.
In the garden outside the lakeside villa, which had clearly been carefully arranged, Morin and Asuna were practicing together, wearing comfortable decorative clothing and wielding longswords and rapiers that resembled their usual weapons.
Whoosh whoosh
Shick shick
Haah
On the neatly leveled ground, Morin and Asuna kept a measured distance from one another, engaging in their daily training under the light of the rising sun.
Morin, holding a one-handed longsword and shield, moved with precise, methodical steps.
Chopping, slashing, shield raised to block.
The simple movements were executed with extraordinary seriousness.
Each swing of the sword and every lift of the shield seemed almost perfectly measured, as if using a ruler.
Even the distances of his steps and the arc of each strike were shockingly even.
There was no slack in Morin's training.
The basic moves of a one-handed sword — chopping, slashing, thrusting, parrying — combined seamlessly with shield techniques — parrying, blocking, countering — and synchronized footwork.
Every action, every rhythm of attack and defense, was executed with a kind of absolute seriousness, as though this monotonous training was the most important career in the world.
Compared to Morin's simple and rigorous routine, Asuna's sword training was like a beautiful dance.
Her rapier glinted under the morning sun, surrounding her with dazzling rays of light that appeared and disappeared with each graceful movement.
It was a breathtaking sight, made even more striking by her beauty.
To a trained eye, it would be obvious that Asuna's steps and sword movements came from real-world fencing experience, far beyond the automatic skills offered by the game system.
Ooh
At the edge of the training ground, Yui sat quietly on a wooden chair, wearing a princess dress, hands under her chin, eyes wide as she watched Daddy and Mommy train.
The sensible Yui never interrupted.
For the past few days, she had simply sat and watched her beloved Daddy and Mommy practice seriously for at least three hours every morning, her little heart feeling an indescribable warmth.
Whew
Asuna, let's stop here for today
When almost an hour had passed, Morin finally sheathed his sword and shield, wiping away the realistically simulated sweat as he spoke.
Then, turning to Yui, he called out with a warm smile,
"Yui, Daddy will make breakfast today. There's your favorite mousse cake."
Mmm Daddy Yui knows
Morin's words made little Yui's eyes light up, her excitement hard to hide.
"Morin, I'll take Yui to the dining room first..."
Asuna smiled, walked over to Yui, hugged and kissed her affectionately a few times, then led her inside, whispering softly.
Morin simply shrugged at how Asuna's affection for Yui now surpassed even that for her husband.
He didn't mind at all and headed to the villa's kitchen to start breakfast.
—
Half an hour later, in the dining room of the lakeside villa.
Around the table, Morin, having finished his meal, leaned back in his chair, leisurely watching Asuna and Yui.
The two, who seemed more like mother and daughter with each passing day, were now sitting side by side.
Little Yui was even using her knife and fork properly under Asuna's patient guidance, eating with surprising decorum for a child.
When Yui finished eating and obediently put down her knife and fork under Asuna's encouragement, Morin spoke up casually.
"Yui, Daddy has some news. Would you like to try finding your lost memories?"
Eh
Yui, who had been contentedly resting her chin on her hands, suddenly looked up at Morin, her small face filled with confusion and surprise.
Morin
Unlike Yui, Asuna's reaction was immediate and fierce.
She stood up suddenly, her pretty face full of alarm, and gripped Yui's little hand tightly as if afraid that Yui would be taken away from her.
"Asuna, I would never hurt Yui. She is our daughter too."
Facing Asuna's sharp glare, Morin gave a helpless smile.
He explained gently, and after a moment, Asuna's tense expression finally softened a little.
Morin then approached both of them and crouched down in front of Yui, extending his hand.
"Yui, do you trust Daddy? This is very important for you, for Daddy and Mommy, and even for all your big brothers and sisters in Star Flame."
Mmm I trust Daddy
After a few seconds of silence, Yui raised her bright, trusting eyes to Morin, then threw her small arms around his arm without hesitation.
Feeling Yui's unwavering trust, Morin endured the painful pinch Asuna secretly gave him, smiled at Asuna to signal her to relax, then carefully lifted Yui into his arms.
He gently ruffled her hair and, with a soft voice, told Asuna and Yui about a certain location.
