Episode 2: "Be Careful about Abuse Mails"

Yui is very happy because she has just finished her latest manga. She wants to show it to IR and taps the keyboard of her computer but gets no response. She wonders if what happened the other day was just her dream.

At Grosser's castle, he examines the record of Corrector Yui during the battle. Werewolf tells him she is obviously not a software of Correctors but three voices reproach him; Virus, Jaggy and Freeze [^o^;;]. They are, with Werewolf, Grosser's main force; the four Guardians. Grosser tells them that, as the death of Dr Inukai is yet to be confirmed, it is possible that Correctors were involved in the case. Virus volunteers to settle it and gets permission from Grosser.

Yui is having lunch with Akiko and Reiko at the school garden. The girls are a little surprised to hear Yui wants to be a manga artist in the future. She has been saying she would be a seiyuu until recent. Yui explains them that it would be the best if she can be both while she steals foods from their lunch boxes.

Haruna approaches Yui and invites her to her birthday party on next Saturday. Yui is more than happy to accept it, which somehow relieves Haruna; she sent the same invitation to her friends 10 days ago over Comnet but didn't get reply from Yui and Takashi. Yui admits she isn't accustomed to mails over computers but wonders why Takashi, who are very good at computers, didn't reply.

Yui goes to the lecture theatre to demand a explanation from Takashi. Haruna, who has come with her, is not keen on such an act. He answers that he did read the message from Haruna but fell in asleep as he was very tired after his soccer club. He promises Haruna to send a mail later. Haruna is pleased to hear it but Yui isn't; "Why don't you reply here and now?" Takashi is embarrassed; he can't reply in public. Boys around him are quick to seize an opportunity to tease him. Even more embarassed, Takashi now tells Haruna he won't come to the party and go out of the room, leaving disappointed Haruna and furious Yui behind.

Takashi is lying on grass by a stream when Yui comes to him. She apologises him about her nosiness. Takashi doesn't say anything but his expression, trying to look annoyed, convinces her that he wants to come to the party really. Takashi admits it but Yui goes too far again and teases him "So you've been thinking how to apologize, right?" Takashi stands up and leaves there angrily.

That night Haruna receives a mail in her room from Takashi. It says he isn't coming in the most scornful manner. Haruna momentarily thinks this is very mean of him but the tender girl quickly checks herself; maybe she should have ask him in a different way. She writes back to him, telling her honest feeling.

Takashi has been restlessly waiting for her reply i his room. He jumps to his terminal as soon as it arrives, hoping Haruna will forgive him. But the mail crushes his hope; Haruna in the mail tells him it was stupid of her to invite him, "I hates you."

Yui is composing her mail to Haruna, asking her to forgive Takashi [with her two indexes ^_^]. She finishes it but doesn't know how to send it. Suddenly IR appears on the screen, "What's the matter, Yui-dono?" Yui is much pleased to see him; it wasn't her dream after all! Apparently he was too busy to answer her last night. Yui doesn't care why he was busy but wants to know how to send her mails off. IR tells her to ask a Mailman, a mailer software. She follows his instructions and leaves her mails to Haruna and Takashi to the Mailman on the screen. He receives them and drives off on his motorcycle. Yui is impressed, "How cute!" IR tells her that it is only those who live in Comnet who can ask the Mailmen directly. Yui wants to be like that. IR shows her a bracelet that enables her to be a habitant of Comnet. Yui complains that she cannot wear a bracelet on a screen but IR tells her to enter Comnet. So she goes into the net and ware the bracelet and then comes back to the real world. Now the bracelet [later named as Comcon] has become "real" and she can contact Comnet anytime.

In the mean time, many Mailmen from all over the net are coming back to their base; Postnet. Then strange silence covers Postnet, followed by loud noise of the motorcycles. The Mailmen comes out of it to deliver mails but they are not the gentlemen in uniform now but more like joy riders. Virus smiles, satisfied with his operation.

Haruna receives a mail from Yui. But she is shocked to see her mail is another least friendly one with full of abuses, telling it is no wonder Takashi hates her. At the same time, Takashi receives another one, in which Yui tells him that Haruna doesn't like him, so rude and inconsiderate.

The next morning the three walk to school; Yui cheerful, Takashi angry and Haruna dejected. Yui has no idea why Takashi and Haruna's attitude to her is so cold.

Yui opens her lunch box on the grass as usual. But she is alone today. IR appears from the bracelet and teases her, saying they must be afraid of having their food stolen by Yui. Then a soccer ball hits her at the head. It is Takashi. He angrily throws a ball of paper at her; it is a printout of Yui's mail to him. She is shocked to see it, "I didn't send this!" IR confirms the mail number is authentic and tells her that he is going to investigate it.

It seems the abuse mails were not only a matter of the three. The entire classroom is full of bad will. IR comes back and tells Yui someone is altering contents of mails maliciously. He claims it must be one of the Grosser's men who is responsible for such an evil act. Yui cries out in spite of herself, "Grosser!?" and attracts the teacher's attention; "Any question?" "No, nothing, Ma'am." But IR keeps talking to her even while she is replying to the teacher. The teacher gets a little annoyed with her attitude and gives her a problem to solve. "What is the meaning of "mouth is a source of trouble"?" [This is one of Japanese old sayings] She has no idea and IR tells her to enter Comnet right now. "What!?" With the teacher in front of her and IR in the bracelet demanding her action, she nearly starts crying. Her desperate decision is to whisper to the bracelet "Corrector Yui Enter" ^_^;; Sadly to her, her voice is too low for IR to recognise. She is now more desperate. She stretches her arm up high and shouts loudly "Corrector Yui Enter!", which surprises the teacher as well as her classmate next to her. Yui enters to Comnet, leaving her sleeping body and nearly panicking teacher in the real world.

IR takes Yui to Postnet, where Mailmen are riding their motorcycle like a crazy. IR is sure that the suspect is within the building of Postnet. An ordinary-looking Mailman is approaching to Postnet. Yui and IR try to stop him in vain. IR tells her to use "Corrector Initialise" with her Magic Wand. To do so, he urges her to transform immediately. Yui gets excited to hear it, "Oh, can I transform again!?" "Sure!" IR downloads the Element Suits on her.

Yui gets into the building where the Mailmen start to attack her. Her Corrector Initialise does a wonder; converting affected Mailmen to their norm. But their sheer number overwhelms her. IR tells her to stop them at the source. Then Virus appears behind Yui and IR. He is contemptuous as Yui and IR were so easy to be lured into the trap.

Yui tries to initialise Virus himself but it turns out he is too far for Corrector Initialise to be effective. She must come closer to him somehow. Virus is triumphant; he knew he was at the safe distance from Yui. Now it's his turn to attack. A number of small black things [probably viruses] surround Yui and IR and start attacking them. Suddenly Yui and IR begin quarreling; yes, they are also infected with the virus now. Everything they say now is malicious. IR is aware that they are infected but cannot stop speaking ill of Yui. But an idea pops up in his head. He provokes Yui and dives into piles of papers [probably symbolises mails]. Without a hesitation Yui follows him into it.

Now Virus has lost their sight. But soon Yui appears from the gap between papers near him. She wants to know where IR is and then finds out she cannot move because of papers around her. She asks Virus to help her but he produces a light saber to kill him instead. Sure of his victory, he asks her if she wants to leave any word. Yui has one thing to ask him, "What's the meaning of "Mouth is a source of troubles"?". He kindly [^_^;;] answers that it means "Careless words can cause a trouble So be careful about what you say." Yui is now relieved; she won't be told off by her teacher when she gets back to the real world. But Virus has no intention of letting her go back. He is going to delete her here and now.

Then IR jumps out of piles of papers near them. It was his tactics to bring Yui near Virus. IR starts spinning to make a whirl wind which blows all the papers arounf Yui. She is now free to move and stands up. She says a few bad words to Virus [intentionally ^_^] and finshes with her usual winning phrase "I'll send you to the dust bin!" Her Corrector Initialise beats Virus and all the Mailmen recover from the infection.

Yui is relieved to see this. IR wants to know why she asked Virus about the old saying. "Oh, otherwise I'll be scolded by her." It seems getting scolded by her teacher is more serious to her than getting beaten by her enemy.

Back in the real word, Yui wakes up to the teacher's voice. She meekly asks if she can answer the question. "Sure!" Yui types her snswer to her terminal which pleases the teacher.

On Saturday, everyone gather at Haruna's birthday party. Yui tells everyone not to have a quarrel today. Takashi retorts, "You are the last person to be qualified to say that." Yui gets angry and nearly starts another quarrel with him but Reiko mediates between the two. A happy party has just started.
