"Oneechan!"

There was a familiar voice, and a little fairy girl came into me.It was Puni without a doubt!

Puni-chan!? Great ~

"Wow, it's really nice to see you again ~"

Puni was crying again and burying her face in me.

Mr. Shannon, you're already logged in.

Just around the corner, Nayu logged in and rushed towards me.

"Thank you, Nayu, thank you so much!"

"Fufu, that's fine.Instead, we'll talk about what we can do, so let's move on to the base. "

So Nayu-chan and I moved to the base where we talked calmly.

So, Nayu-chan, what's Puni's response?

"Yes, as I was told before the maintenance, I told you that it would not be advisable to remove Punipni, and you agreed very quickly.Because Punipni's AI clearly exceeded the programmer's expectations and will remain until it can be properly analyzed, including the case of the bug.Of course, I didn't play with or rewrite Punipni's data during this maintenance. "

Great... I feel relieved and relaxed.

"Ah, um... nayu..."

Puni-chan tried to climb over my head and called out to Nayu-chan from there.

"Thank you for everything. I'm sorry I attacked so much..."

When you say that, you woosh away from hiding behind me.

Such a smile made me laugh with Nayu.

"That's right, I'm not deleting it for now, but Mr. Shannon has a few conditions."

Conditions. Well, normally, I can't help but let you put me near the place where the Guardian Spirit itself will be stopped.

In order to stay with Puni in the future, we need to follow the operator's instructions.

"As I mentioned earlier, Punipni's program is not being played at all.This means that the bug's power is still available.Of course, you shouldn't let them use it.Shannon will monitor and brake Punipni, including that.It's a pretty responsible condition, but I've been ordered to monitor it as well, so let's do our best together. "

That means I have to raise Puni-chan to be a good boy.Looks like you've kind of become a real sister.

"We also decided to perform routine maintenance to analyze the program.Don't worry, I won't play with the data like this. "

When I heard the details, Puni was apparently conscious even during the maintenance.It seems that even if you drop the game before that, you can still do it, and in the meantime, you can sleep like a human because you are free.

... completely independent.

"Well, like this, do you have any questions?"

"Yes! What should I do with a Guardian Spirit player battle?"

"Without using the power of a bug, I can fight using only my ability when I raise the level... to be honest, I don't want you to fight much.I might get worn out..... "

Certainly. If you get hot in battle and use your weird powers...

"I don't mean to intimidate you, but don't forget it's really cliffy.I'm still going to give this a pretty good deal.If something is perceived to be wrong by another player, the operator is willing to remove it immediately. "

Puni-chan takes a breath.

"It's okay, Puni. You just have to listen to everyone and be a good boy. You can do it, right?"

"Uh-huh. I don't want to be erased either...Besides, I want to be with oneechan more..... "

Fluffy! I'm impressed by Puni-chan's nostalgia!

I tickled Puni-chan's throat with my index finger.Then Puni-chan starts snapping at her index finger like a cat.

That's when it happened.

"Grandma, is anybody there?"

That's how Sylvia came in.

No, not just Sylvia.Behind them, the members of Bi ~ Su and Fung came into the room, and they all ended up in no time.

"Ah, Punipni was safe.Thank goodness Sanaan! "

Ruri-chan celebrates with both hands together.Everyone was looking relieved.

That's why I wrap my hands around Puni and take her right in front of me.

"Puni-chan, everyone helped me save Puni-chan.You're a reliable friend, aren't you?I'm sorry for the inconvenience. "

"Uh-huh...."

Puni-chan nodded honestly and rose with her back feathers before everyone lined up.

"Ah, you know... you're bothering everyone because of me... so I'm sorry!!"

"I'm sorry!!"

I'll lower my head with you.Everyone sends us warm words.Therefore, the bug disturbance that began with the implementation of the new dungeon came to an end for now.

It's not all over.In fact, it may be difficult from now on.But we just have to work with everybody to figure out what happened.Me and Puni aren't alone anymore.

As I watched Puni-chan being played and rubbed by everyone, I felt like that.
