Chiaki and Hajime quickly walked over to the base.
"What did you need alter ego" Hajime asked.
"It's about the neo world project" alter ego said "we are going to use it".
"For what?" Chiaki asked.
"Makotos sister managed to find and capture 4 people who were influenced by junko" alter ego "they are coming here to receive therapy through the neo world".
"Is that it?" Hajime asked.
"The reason I brought you here is because we need an observer" alter ego "but they have to be a certain age".
"Where are you going with this?" Hajime asked.
"To be blunt the observer has to be a child" alter ego said "we don't have children here so we will create one".
Hajime and Chiaki went silent.
"Would you like the AI child to be yours" alter ego" The child will need parents either way".
"It sounds nice I think" Chiaki replied.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Hajime asked.
"Yep" Chiaki replied.
"Okay then will do it" Hajime said holding chiakis hand.
"Okay I'll update you on when the child is ready" alter ego said.
"Okay" Hajime said.
Back at Hajimes cottage Chiaki was playing with chi.
"Hey Chiaki if we are going to have a kid what should their name be?" Hajime asked.
"Taichi if it's a boy and chihiro if it's a girl" Chiaki said.
"Yeah those are nice names" Hajime agreed.
"Should we tell the others" Chiaki said.
Hajime started to worry about all the horrible things that would happen if their kid met the others.
"Maybe we could slowly introduce them one at a time" Hajime suggested.
"That makes sense" Chiaki said "I just want our kid to be able to socialize".
Hajime went over and hugged Chiaki after sensing her worries.
"I'm sure our child will be wonderful" Hajime said reassuring Chiaki.
Just then Hajimes phone rang.
"Are you ready to meet your child?" Alter ego said through the phone.
Chiaki went into the neo world first and waited for Hajime. Hajime logged in shortly and joined Chiaki. Alter ego greeted them on the beach and proceed to lead them to a strange new building near the hotel ground.
"Okay your child is waiting for you" alter ego said "when you're ready go in but try not to overstimulate them".
Hajime and Chiaki entered together holding hands. Inside was a light blue room. In the center a small boy sat on a stool. He looked to be 10 and had short messy light brown hair with an ahoge. The boy also had light pink eyes and wore a green hoodie with tiny bunny ears.
"Hello" Chiaki said lowering her self to meet the boys height.
"Hello" the boy responded in a robotic voice.
"I am Chiaki but you can call me mom" Chiaki said in her delicate voice.
"Mom" the boy repeated before looking over at Hajime.
Hajime lowered himself to the boys height.
"I am Hajime you can call me dad" Hajime said.
"Dad" the boy repeated.
"Your name is Taichi" Chiaki said.
"Taichi" the boy repeated.
Slowly Chiaki and Hajime began to teach Taichi about the neo world.
"Mom and Dad are my parents?" Taichi asked.
"Yes you can trust us" Chiaki smiled.
"What is my purpose" Taichi asked.
Hajime and Chiaki stood in silence for a while till they mentally agreed.
"For now you just have to learn" Chiaki said.
"But you are not alone" Hajime said " we are here for you".
"Here try to walk" Chiaki said before getting up and walking a few feet away "Go on try to walk to me Taichi".
Taichi slowly stood on his feet before trying to walk. He stumbled a little bit and almost fell a few times. Finally Taichi made it over to Chiaki. Chiaki rewarded him with a hug.
"Good Taichi" Chiaki said hugging him" this is a hug it means we are together".
"Hug is good?" Taichi asked.
"Yep" Hajime said as he got up and hugged Chiaki and Taichi.
Chiaki and Hajime proceeded to teach Taichi. They taught him about basic emotions but Taichi had difficulty grasping love. Just as Hajime was about to explain Alter ego came.
"How is he" alter ego asked.
"I am good" Taichi said.
"We've been teaching Taichi many things"Chiaki explained.
"Wonderful" alter ego said "I only came to report that it is getting rather late so Hajime might have to log out soon".
Hajime completely forgot about the time as he soon realized he was getting tired.
"I guess I have to go" Hajime said a bit disappointed.
"Don't worry Hajime, will see you tomorrow" Chiaki reassured.
"Okay" Hajime said "good night".
"Where did he go mom?" Taichi asked after Hajime logged out.
"He went back to the real world" Chiaki explained.
"What is the real world" Taichi asked.
"It is a unique place filled with many things" Chiaki said.
"Can I go there?" Taichi asked.
"When you grow up maybe" Chiaki said.
"Mom can I go to sleep?" Taichi asked to which Chiaki patted him on the head.
"Can we have a bed please" Chiaki asked alter ego.
Alter ego opened a menu and pressed a button causing a white bed to materialize in the room. The bed also had some pajamas on it.
"Thank you" Chiaki said before alter ego left.
Chiaki helped Taichi change into his pajamas before putting on hers. Then Chiaki and Taichi crawled into bed and fell asleep.
