Chapter 14 – Sword Art Online (8)
Seojun suddenly remembered one day.
It is not only Kayaba Takkihiko who will cause trouble later.
His closest friend and lover.
This is Rinko Kojiro.
‘I have to use my hands even if I don’t have parents.’
Kojiro Rinko is a scientist involved in VR machine research, and graduated from the Shigemura Research Department at Todo Institute of Technology. She is from the same university seminar as Akihiko Kayaba, Nobuyuki Sugou, and Takeru Higa.
In the past, she moved to Tokyo from the province and entered Todo Institute of Technology, and soon started dating Akihiko Kayaba, who was a senior in her laboratory.
Since she was a single-minded person in research, she paid attention to Kayaba, who didn’t take care of herself, and had affection to the point of serving her homemade dishes or taking her to the beach in her car during her company. .
‘The problem is that this bastard becomes Kayaba’s accomplice.’
The day after she completes her master’s thesis, Kayaba goes missing after staging the SAO incident.
Then, remembering the records left in Kayaba’s car navigation system in the past, she goes to a mountain lodge in Nagano Prefecture alone, where she meets Akihiko Kayaba.
At first, she contemplates killing him and then committing suicide, but after seeing Ringer marks on Kayaba’s arm, she eventually volunteers to take care of the body while he is logged into SAO.
After solving the case, she had to be judged as an accomplice in mass murder, but she had a remote detonation micro-bomb implanted inside her body by Kayaba, and this gave her the excuse that ‘I was forced to cooperate because of the bomb in the body’. After being acquitted, he was treated as a victim even though he was an accomplice and fled to the United States without his name being announced.
‘As is the case with Kikkihiko, this year is also a formidable problem child.’
In the original work, it is portrayed as if he was involved in an incident and not a villain, but even so, it is clear that he voluntarily helped Kayaba in the end.
No matter how much he feels guilty about it, he must of course be criticized for aiding or indirectly contributing to Kayaba’s lunatic murder. Am.
The biggest reason she is criticized is that she could have ended the situation early by providing the location of Kayaba to the police, but she did not do so, and in the end, she was swayed by emotion and helped Kayabya’s crime, resulting in 4,000 deaths. In the end, rather than stopping Kayaba’s suicide, thanks to his help, Kayaba was put on the death row and even the minimal comfort that the bereaved family and victims could get was blown away.
On the subject of such a topic, Kayaba removed the bomb planted in her body and shamelessly left the country for being treated as a victim rather than surrendering herself to the police. It’s not enough to tell them, and they’re talking about continuing Kayaba’s dream, so it must be garbage that can’t be saved.
‘To be honest, it’s not even worth using as a fucking house.’
Her face is fine, but to be honest, she didn’t even have the energy to spend on a woman like this.
Well, anyway, her Seojun thought about what to do with her.
‘At this point, he must be dating Kayaba.’
I’m helping him with both my mind and heart, so I’m reluctant to contact him right now.
You never know what she’s up to for her totally fucked up Hiko.
‘Then deal with it after SAO happens.’
Even if it’s processing, there’s nothing special.
After tailing her and finding out Kayaba’s lodge, she throws both of them into her prison at her perfect timing.
‘Of course, if I do that, it might cause problems in the future story.’
While she was frantically concentrating on developing Medicure Void, a VR machine and medical treatment in the United States using the data left by Kayaba, after Nobuyuki Sugou’s illegal experiment in Alfheim Online was exposed, she stopped seeing her. He met Kazuto Kirigaya, who had gone out, and heard that he had a conversation with the digitally ghosted Kayaba in ALO and received the seed of the world.
Afterwards, learning the existence of The Seed left behind by Kayaba and the fact that Kayaba succeeded in transferring her personality to the electronic world by scanning her consciousness before her death, she asks Kazuto whether to distribute The Seed, which can be said to be Kayaba’s legacy. Delegate
‘There is no problem with Medicuboid.’
The only heroine who uses Medicuboid is Konno Yuuki.
However, she is relieved that she will never use it once she has regained her health.
Then, the only thing left is ‘The Seed’…
‘Does it really need this bitch?’
Distribution can be done by anyone.
It doesn’t matter if Kojiro and Rinko aren’t there.
‘What? I thought about it. I don’t need this bitch?’
Okay, let’s go!
Kojiro knew that he didn’t need Rinko, so he should be able to proceed as planned.
‘Then about Nerve Gear and Sword Art Online…’
After that, Seo-joon searched for various methods.
It wasn’t perfect, but in the direction of reducing damage as much as possible and enjoying the game more.
And time passed like flowing water.
***
“Wow!! Jun!! Passed!!”
“Congratulations, Asuna.”
“Cha-am-! We went to the same school, so please be more happy~!”
“Yes, yes. Wow, I am so happy.”
Asuna puffed out her cheeks at Seo-joon’s soulless tone.
However, he smiled broadly and embraced Seo-joon.
“Ah, that is so good. It’s the same school as Jun.”
“It’s nice that I’m in the same school as Asuna.”
“Tch, you didn’t look very happy from the reaction just now.”
“Ah, it was because I knew we would stick together anyway.”
The two laughed and chatted.
Other students who were looking for their application number opened their eyes at him.
Someone might have fallen, but salting next to you!
Of course, they both didn’t care.
“Since we’re here, Yuuki and Aiko are full of thoughts of coming here too.”
“Whoops, that’s right. Yuuki, who hated studying so much, was so motivated.”
Seojun and Asuna had already reached the age of 13, the age to enter middle school.
Unfortunately, the Konno sisters, who were younger than the two of them, couldn’t keep up with middle school, but these days, they are absorbed in studying, burning their will to enter the same middle school.
The middle school the two entered was quite prestigious.
‘Come to think of it, what happened to Kirito?’
Didn’t he also enter middle school next year?
Seojun recalled a question he had heard from Kirito before.
‘He asked where I went to school.’
At that, Seojun smiled.
I can guess why you asked such a question.
‘Maybe he wants to go to the same place as me, something like that.’
It’s too obvious.
But that’s why it’s cute
“Then, shall we have a passing party today?”
“Good idea. Let’s call Yuuki and Aiko too.”
As always, the four of them had a party at Seo-jun’s house.
After eating delicious food, playing games, and chatting, it became an ambitious night before I knew it.
After moving the three of them to their room, Seo-jun sat down on the sofa.
‘It’s already been 20 years.’
2020.
The official opening of Sword Art Online is just around the corner.
In the next two years and a few months, Nerve Gear and Sword Art Online will be released.
However, there was something more important than that.
Because it was related to one of the heroines.
‘Sinon.’
Her real name is ‘Asada Shino (朝田詩乃)’.
2020 was the year of her big break for her.
Shino Asada’s past was bleak.
Before she was even a year old, Shino and her parents’ car collided with a huge truck on a quiet country road late at night, killing the truck driver on the spot and Shino’s father. He was seriously injured, and at least Shino’s mother suffered a fracture.
Fortunately, Shino was barely hurt.
However, her mother developed PTSD.
Furthermore, one day in 2020, Shino and her mother encounter an armed robber at the post office.
The robber with a gun in his hand actually pulled the trigger and knocked out one of the postal workers when the postal workers did not respond to his threat, and at the same time took Shino’s mother hostage.
And Shino, who thought that she might lose both of her parents, who had only half of her left, bravely blew her body at her robber, causing her assailant to bite her hand holding her gun, killing her. The robber snatches and snatches her handgun, which he missed.
When the embarrassed robber approached her to take her pistol from Shino, Shino fired her bullet on the spot, then fired a few more shots and then shed her blood in front of her own eyes. You will see the end of the fallen robber.
Although she succeeded in protecting her mother, Shino’s mother, who was still in a state of mental instability, was completely ruined by this incident, and she suffered from guilt and fear for killing a person.
It was known as a simple accident in the media, but at the school she attended, all kinds of nicknames for treating her as a murderer criticized her. As it spreads, she is forced to live a life of outcasts once again.
What Seo-joon thinks about here is whether he can really prevent this situation.
‘I still haven’t found it.’
Even though I know the name, I still haven’t been able to find it.
In the first place, no matter how great the Yoosung Group is, it is very difficult to find people all over Japan only by name and age.
‘It’s a problem even if I find it.’
Even if you find it, no one knows when you will get caught up in something like that in 2020.
This is because it was not dealt with in detail in the original work.
So should I give up on her?
“…”
Seo-jun’s gaze turned to the room where Asuna, Yuuki, and Aiko were sleeping.
After watching for a while, he shook his head.
“What is giving up?”
Wasn’t it decided from the beginning?
I’m going to start a harem.
Even one heroine can never give up.
And I want my heroine to live as happily as possible.
“Ha. I didn’t want to use cheats for too long.”
Seojun stood up from his seat.
To be honest, he didn’t want to use his powers at all.
Because it was so fraudulent.
However, now was not the time to cover hot or cold water.
Seo-joon went to the window and concentrated.
A white wing sprouted from his back, and with one flap, an intangible ripple spread around him in all directions.
How many minutes had passed like that?
Opening his closed eyes, Seo-joon murmured.
“Found.”
He found out Asada Shino’s current location.
