Harem Reborn

Chapter 283: Who Could It Be?

[Day 14/1825 on The Godless Green Earth A.I World]

I left my dirt in the main hall, decided to walk the rest of the way, it was still only just after lunch. So, maybe I could see If Mikota wanted to do something nice; this morning had been so nice just sitting with her. 

Whatever that thing was going to be I wasn't sure yet, but I was sure that she would figure something out. I walked down the hall until I got to her room, and knocked on the white glass door.

I was surprised when she called for me to come in, and I found her sitting up in bed. For some reason seeing her partially covered up like that made her look just that much more beautiful and alluring.

"Don't look at me like that or you're going to get me more pregnant than already am. What are you doing back so early? I thought you would have been fighting for a lot longer," Mikota said as I walked over, not taking my eyes off her.

"I kind of do though," I said, taking her face in my hand and kissing her gently, then I sat down on the bed. "I don't seem to know a lot about how it happens, so I wanted to know if you understood it yet?"

"Yes, I talked to Grace about it and she has already seen countless births. They are strange, she said it was like a single flash of light, and then you have a baby in your arms that grow to be about the age of five over thirty seconds. I haven't seen it happen, but the children can talk and are smart," Mikota explained to me.

That was interesting, no wonder Miala had said that they would be able to come out tomorrow. Even after having a child, they would have no problems coming out, but I didn't really understand why they didn't just bring them along?

"Why do they leave the kids back? Kazuya and the others are going to come to the beach we have set up, but they said they would leave the kids back. Do you know why?" I ask, putting my hand on her belly. 

"Did you tell them that we haven't had kids yet?" Mikota asked, tensing up.

"Yeah, why? Should I have not told them?" I asked in confusion.

"They are probably thinking about the ones that haven't had children yet," Mikota said looking away from me. "You know, I just don't understand, ever since you got your memories back you have been distant to all of us."

"Wah? Look at how pregnant you are, and the other girls are pregnant too!" I tried to protest, but Mikota just sighed.

"It's not that, well maybe it is. The other people already have had many children, but I don't know how many times I have seen you just floating in the sky. I know you're not doing anything and that you must be thinking of something, but why do you have to do it all alone?" Mikota asked.

It was true, and I had been worried about having kids in this world, but I had also been trying to figure out how Reginold got into the game. It plagues me all the time now that I knew everything, and I couldn't wrap my head around it.

"It's Reginold, I can't get my head around how he got into the game. There should have been no way for him to get in, but somehow he got inside. Now, that only means one thing, someone let him in, but the real question is, who did it?" I said, laying back and pulling back Mikota into my arms.

"You don't think it was one of us girls do you?"  Mikota asked, looking up at me.

"No, it would be impossible. You were all loaded specially and you weren't actually loaded into the game until I first summoned you. That also means there are some girls left in Second life since I have never finished the game. I just can't see what happens before the game is reset because I always get pulled to Aihalla, and there is no way to get into there in my memories," I said pondering the list.

"Then who is on the list? If we go over each person that I could be then we might be able to figure out who did it," Mikota said, cuddling into my chest, her white skin a stark contrast to my midnight black skin.

"Well, there are only three people that could have done it. Drania, Centia, or Dansie. Gripton was locked out of the game by me personally so his code didn't get pulled in at the start so he could help, but he ended up getting sucked in anyways. So that means that one of the three that I placed in the game before it started with administrative powers. All of them have been dropped to just above a game master, but they can't step into the game without a medium." 

"What do you mean? I don't really know too much about the ones you put in place. They were part of our group of girls that you rescued, right?" Mikota asked.

"That's right, all the monsters and most of the assist systems are manned by ex-Second Life employees. The same ones that had been killed by Reginold for trying to expose him. So, I can't for the life of me figure out why any of the three would want to help him," I said, scrubbing my hand over my face.

"Well, why did they get killed? Did they have something in common?" Mikota asked after kissing my chest and wrapping my arm over me.

"Yeah, it was ten of them into a total that got caught. Each had shared the file from one person to the next. Then when they got found out, Reginold took them out one at a time."

"Who was the first person that told the story?" 

"What? Hmm, I don't think that ever came up. That's weird, but at the time I had no reason to suspect any of them. Fuck, that means that one of the three let him in. Reginold must have offered them a special place in the game after he took it over. This isn't good, I had my suspicions, but you asking that question makes it a certainty that it was one of them, but who?

"What were their jobs? I don't know if it will help, but talking things through can't hurt, right?"

"No, your right. Dansie was Head of the mini-games department and watching the background features of the game, He would know how to do it, but if Reginold planted them, it wouldn't matter what the job was. Drania was head for accounting, and Centia was head for promotions," I said, really not feeling any close to the answer.

"I was Centia, has to be. Anyone that works in marketing is like being a lawyer that doubles for a weatherman, pure evil, and their work are based on guessing! If I were to judge from what we know I would say it was her," Mikota said, nodding her head on my chest.

"I don't know, she is actually incredibly nice, and I spent a lot of time with her after I found her in second life. She took a lot of one on one time that we spent just doing normal things before I even brought her out to the other girls. I don't know if you would remember her, I don't think you met, but I don't think it was here," I said, Kissing the top of Mikota's head.

"What about the accountant lady! Drania sounds like an evil name! And accountants are always skimming from the books!" 

"Babe you watch too much TV, and that isn't her real name anyways. No Gail, wouldn't have done it. Lishtani is in here with her, and she is one of five people that I killed for all intents and purposes, and brought inside the game so that they could be with their loved ones. So, no, Gail wouldn't risk something happening to Lishtani."

"So then you think it was Dan, or Dansei then?"

"There are a lot of things that don't make sense with him. First, he is missing for the first half of every game. For the first six games I don't see him, but then He is on the seventh world when I get to run through, but he doesn't show himself. I don't know It could be any one of them, but I would put my money on Dan," I said, letting out a long sigh.

"Well, now that you know the best we can do is be vigilant and watch," Mikota said.

"Hopefully when I wipe the first game world it will do the same for him. Then when I get back with my administrative privileges I will be able to freeze him and dig through his memories. If he did do it, I will know, so I just have to get this game done."

Mikota crawled up and kissed me, and I pulled her tight to me. I knew what I had to do, and if I could find out who did it then I could find out the way he came in. If I can do that then I can find the code he entered with, and when I found him, I could rewrite him the same way he did to all of us.
