Soul Fusion Online
chapter-71

"Are you ready?" Trisha asked. She was standing next to Yuki's bed, beside her was a wheelchair.

"Mmm.." Yuki hummed. The corners of her lips slightly arching up. Today was the day that Yuki would get to go home. She really had been waiting for this day. She waited patiently as Trisha dressed her and helped her into the wheelchair.

"All set?" Tina asked. She had a bag full of files in her hand.

"Yep, we can leave at any time." Trisha answered. She sneakily looked at the files.

Tina smiled and said: "This is for us to read over. This is everything we need to watch out for. She only needs to come in once a week for treatment. And… here read this.."

Tina handed over a file for Trisha to read. Trisha opened the file, and as she read the lines, her eyes opened wide in surprise. "Is this true!?"

"Mmhm! They ran this test on another patient about a week after Yuki was hospitalized. They found that the patient was able to enter the game and act normally. This was the same patient who underwent the clinical trials for the treatment Yuki's is receiving." Tina replied.

"This means every night Yuki can..." Trisha began to tear up.

"Yep! She will be able to at least act normal within the game. You can try it tonight. I already talked with the doctor for a while on this, and he said everything would be one hundred percent safe. The game works off a dreamscape and pulls from the player's memories. It has nothing to do with the parts of Yuki's brain that are damaged at this time. So as long as she has knowledge of it in her memory, she can do it. This means walking and speaking normally should all be normal for her in the game." Tina explained. She thought this was a godsend. At least now Yuki could move around freely, even if it is just in a game.

Trisha couldn't stop her excitement from exploding as she jumped up and down. "Yuki, did you hear that!? You can still play the game!"

"Mm… Woam… Tanks vu!" Yuki did her best to force out her thanks. She was kinda excited to be able to log back in game after so much time. But she was even more excited by the fact that she could run around and do things.

"Of course! I asked because I did some research on the game when you first told me about it. So I could have some things to talk to you about. So when I was talking to the doctor, it kind of popped into my mind. Thank god that it did." Tina had just kind of had the idea pop in her mind when she was getting the files. Luckily the doctor knew what she was talking about and even provided a clinical study that showed that it was possible. "Alright enough talking, we can do that on the way. Let's get going."

Eternal Palace....

"She what!?" An older man in his late thirties yelled out. "Say that again!"

"Your Majesty, from what I heard, the Ninth Princess, Trisha Evergreen, has given up the Evergreen name and her status." The server boy was shaking head to toe. The look the person was giving it was as if he was about to kill an entire nation's worth of people.

"The reason?" The older man asked, his eyes cold as ice.

"It's because..." The servant boy was not sure what to do. If he told the truth, won't he be killed if the Eighth Princess finds out?

"Tell me now, or I will send you to the lab." The older man slammed his fist on the desk, causing it to crack.

"The Eighth Princess, Jasmine Evergreen, had Old May under her finger. Old May would take eighty percent of the funds that were allocated to Princess Trisha and give it to Princess Jasmine. After the assassination attempt on Princess Trisha, she told Old May to bring Princess Trisha back. From there, I only know that Princess Trisha gave up her status for the girl who was shot in the head trying to protect Princess Trisha. I looked into it further, and it seems the girl by the name of Chisaka Yuki and Princess Trisha are in a suggestive relationship. This is everything I know." The servant boy was sweating buckets. For some reason, his master was gripping the armrest of his chair to the point that it had started to crack.

"You may leave..." The older man gritted his teeth when he heard everything.

"Your Majesty,... " The servant boy wanted to ask what should be done about the girl, but when the older man's eyes fell on him, he quickly lowered his head.

"Did I not tell you to leave!? Get the fuck out before I take your fucking head off!" The older man roared. He was mad! He was mad that his precious daughter was being treated in such a manner. He had hoped that once she was able to go to college that she would be able to live a good life. Who would have thought that his second youngest would still not let her go? This older man, who was angered beyond belief, was none other than the ruler of the world, King Melgrave Evergreen the tenth.

"Number 5!" Melgrave yelled out.

"Master." A man in black appeared from the shadows. In his hand was a device. He reached up and plugged it into a spot behind his ear, causing his eyes to glow and shoot out a holographic image.

The image was displayed in front of Melgrave's desk. It was showing images of Trisha and Yuki together. Each image was of them walking around outside and holding hands. Then it showed the incident where Yuki was shot in the head trying to get over to Trisha. Melgrave's eyes softened. He could feel that the girl who was with his daughter was very sincere. "She seems to be a good girl. The data you gave me early shows she was a hard worker. It would be too bad for her to give up on school. Number 5, you will go and protect those two. Do not let an incident like this happen again. But before you do, go to the college and tell them that both my daughter and this girl here, what was it again? That's right, Chisaka Yuki will be taking leave until Yuki gets better. This way, the two can make a choice later on if they want to continue school."

"You will not split them apart, Master?" Number 5 asked. He knew Yuki's background very well since he was asked to investigate it.

"Why would I spoil my daughter's happiness? Although she has given up the Evergreen name, I think this is also good. She can now live free and follow her heart. Plus, she will not suffer any. That little girl, Yuki, is very rich as it is. And she will only get richer as well. Invest into that Soul Fusion Online game. We can not let it disappear anytime soon. Tell the developers they need to keep that game number one for as long as I reign. Also, buy 20% of the shares and put them under Trisha's name. This much I can do. Just give me daily updates. You may leave." Melgrave sat back in his chair. As soon as Number 5 disappeared, he hit a button at its side which brought up a screen. On it was a satellite video of Trisha pushing Yuki out of the hospital. he closed his eyes, and a picture of a beautiful woman appeared in his mind. "Diana, your daughter is really grown. She seems to have found her love. Hopefully she will live a happy free life."
