Chapter 84 84 People Die When They Are Killed. A Real Man Goes Up 100 Floors
[Should I find a rich woman to take care of me? That way, I could live a life where I just reach out for clothes and open my mouth for food. But I've heard those rich women play all sorts of wild games. So maybe not. But buying groceries myself is such a hassle. Maybe I should find a humanoid Spirit like Mifuyu, form a contract with them, and have them do the grocery shopping, laundry, and bed-making?]
That poor Yuki-Onna had, in Hakuto's eyes, completely been reduced to the role of doing grocery shopping, laundry, and bed-making.
However, that poor Yuki-Onna, yet again unfairly treated, could only draw circles in her heart and curse Hakuto to always get food stuck between his teeth.
[Tch. This market is really a mixed bag. The quality of the ingredients here is ridiculously poor. Passing off old rice as new rice. You profiteers. I curse your shops to go out of business!]
[I need to find a way to get a channel for high-quality ingredients. If the ingredients are too poor when I recreate the dishes in my head, the taste will definitely be much worse. I'll first make those imperial court dishes. As for those alchemy streamer recipes that are both expensive and life-threatening, I'll deal with them later.]
[But as a non-chef, where am I supposed to find a suitable and stable channel to provide me with ingredients? Should I ask my wife Sonoka? Uh, no. Although my wife Sonoka would probably agree, it's too much trouble. After all, my wife Sonoka and I have only met a few times as friends so far.]
[Oh, look at that billboard by the roadside. Isn't that freaking Sword Art Online? So my wife Asuna is here too? Sword Art Online is a game run by my wife Asuna's family, and then it gets ruined by Kayaba Akihiko.]
[Sword Art Online, that game. Tsk, tsk. A real man goes up 100 floors. People die when they are killed. Tsk, tsk. That bastard Kayaba dragged tens of thousands of people to their deaths just for a little personal obsession. Tsk.]
[But that's none of my business. Later, I'll check. If it has nothing to do with my wife Asuna, what do I care if those people live or die?]
[Uh, no. What if some of my other wives accidentally play Sword Art Online? They would be done for. That's not okay. Not just for my wife Asuna, but for my other wives too, I have to report Sword Art Online. But who should I report it to? Maybe call my wife Kaguya and ask?]
[Oh, if they ask me how I know, how should I answer? Do I say I'm a Transmigrator and I saw it in an Anime?]
[Troublesome. But whatever. I'm doing it for my wives!]
[I'll try myself first. Anyway, there's still some time until the game officially launches. If the storyline deviates, that's best. If it doesn't, then I might be saving the wives who could have ended up trapped in Sword Art Online.]
[Kayaba Akihiko is really not human. He turned the game helmet into a microwave oven. You can't log out in the game and if you forcibly remove the helmet, it releases high-frequency microwaves that destroy the brain, causing death. And if you die once in the game, it also releases high-frequency microwaves to destroy the brain. Die once, and you're really dead. Is this guy a dog or what?]
'Wha!'
Seeing this diary entry, countless people gasped.
'What was happening in this world? First, the walking Death God Kudo Shinichi. Now, a criminal about to kill an unknown number of people?'
These diary copy holders were now worried that they might just disappear one day.
As the person involved, even though Hakuto just said 'my wife Asuna', Yuuki Asuna understood that he was probably talking about her.
Sword Art Online was being sold by her family's company. If it really was as Hakuto said, Asuna couldn't even imagine what the outcome would be for her family.
Bankruptcy was the best result. The worst would be her family being devoured alive by the relatives of the angry gamers.
Asuna shuddered. Then she knew she had to find a way to solve this as quickly as possible.
Asuna thought of the helmet in her brother's room, 'If I took that helmet apart, could I find the device Yagami Hakuto mentioned that released high-frequency microwaves to destroy the brain, causing death?'
Thinking this, Asuna immediately went to her brother's room and found the helmet. Then, using her brother's name, she found a technician from the company.
Soon, the company technician had the results.
Indeed, the helmet contained a device that released high-frequency microwaves to destroy the brain, causing death. And to prevent power outages, the helmet also had a battery.
Asuna immediately called her father to tell him this.
Upon hearing this, Yuuki Shouzou immediately brought people back. Then he saw his daughter and a female technician.
Shouzou had the people he brought re-inspect the helmet. The result shocked and enraged him.
'That bastard Kayaba Akihiko was actually planning to turn Sword Art Online into a death game!'
"Asuna, you did very well on this matter. But how did you know about it?"
Asuna shook her head.
"Please allow me to keep this a secret."
Seeing his daughter didn't want to say, Shouzou didn't press.
Whatever. If his daughter wanted to say, she would. If not, it didn't matter. At least the result was good.
This time, his daughter had saved him, saved this family, saved the entire company.
Looking at Asuna, Shouzou smiled and said, "You did very well this time. As a reward, you can make a request. I will do my best to fulfill it."
"Then please let me choose who I like. To be honest, Father, I don't really like that Sugou Nobuyuki you and Mother introduced me to. He feels quite hypocritical to me. It's very likely he's just trying to win your and Mother's favor to scheme for our family's assets."
Shouzou frowned slightly. But still, he nodded.
"Alright. Since you don't want to, I won't force you. As for Sugou Nobuyuki, I'll conduct a thorough investigation."
A smile appeared on Asuna's face.
