Konno Aiko, Yuki's twin sister, suffered a massive hemorrhage at birth, and during a blood transfusion, her blood became contaminated, leading to immunodeficiency syndrome (similar to HIV).
The family persevered until now, but their parents are now terminally ill and about to pass away, leaving her facing the prospect of paying huge medical bills.
Her health was failing, and she had to leave behind her remaining savings.
However, before that, she wanted to see her younger sister one more time.
Kotoko Iwanaga quietly watched this scene through the glass, her sharp gaze fixed on the giant snake coiled around Aya's body.
Monsters have always existed in the world, but recently, some evil spirits that should have been slumbering in the underworld have suddenly returned to the mortal realm. And at this moment, this giant serpent is posing as a god, bewitching this girl who has fallen into despair.
"Leave her," Kotoko Iwanaga said calmly.
"You, you can see! You can see."
The giant snake seemed to have found a toy and turned its head to stare at Kotoko Iwanaga.
"I command you to leave her."
Kotoko Iwanaga's gaze remained fixed on the giant serpent without wavering.
"You, you are..."
The giant snake retreated, sensing a formidable aura emanating from Kotoko Iwanaga.
That was the scent of hundreds and thousands of compatriots. It was certain that this person before it, if he so desired, could single-handedly incite countless nights of demons.
The look in his eyes confirmed that he was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
The giant snake's figure slowly dissipated and disappeared into the darkness.
Kotoko Iwanaga breathed a long sigh of relief. To be honest, she was just using someone else's power as a pretext. She was helpless against certain irrational demons.
Having driven away the evil spirits that tried to lure the living, Kotoko Iwanaga sighed:
"I just happened to see it, but I couldn't bear to stand by and do nothing."
If left unchecked, Lanzi, tempted by demons, might become an even more desperate evil spirit, and her twisted love might turn into claws that kill her loved ones.
At this moment.
Xia Jia remained silent in front of the screen.
He was aware of Kotoko Iwanaga's plan. After the SAO open beta, other full-dive games were developed, and some of those projects were used for medical purposes.
Medical in-depth devices can completely eliminate physical pain for patients. Or, they can allow patients to experience the feeling of a healthy body again. Some patients with visual or hearing impairments may even be able to regain their health through such devices.
However, this type of equipment is more often used in end-of-life care.
Completely immersive mental blockade can completely replace anesthesia, allowing some patients to say goodbye to pain completely, and at the cost of 24 hours of complete immersion, to give the rest of their lives a beautiful ending.
"I remember that the guild that Yuuki Jueken belonged to, [Silent Garden], was formed by a terminally ill patient. And they fought in many stealth games, leaving their names in the games forever."
"If that's the case, perhaps I can do something for them too, and it wouldn't hurt to exchange my health for an equal price."
"Moreover, they may crave authenticity even more!"
Shaka calmly analyzed:
"Those who are already terminally ill are even more fearless. For them, a perfect alternate world is like a second life. Not only can they integrate into their roles more perfectly, but perhaps the effects of the blessings can alleviate their condition."
"If all else fails, I'll earn enough money to go to Orario and buy them the Panacea."
Most diseases in modern people are caused by bodily damage or infection.
For the former, medication that repairs everything can handle it. For the latter, boosting immunity is the best approach.
This changed Shaga's thinking; perhaps he could create a "world before death" similar to the "afterlife."
To allow unfortunate young people to fulfill their wishes before they die, and to gain hope for living on.
Shaga seemed to understand the true meaning of his abilities.
He wanted to bring a little hope to some people who should have been in despair. Isn't that the justice that the goddess advocates?
Xia Jia's first target was Konno Kamoki. She had been struggling to contact her, which was frustrating, but now someone else had taken care of it.
Thinking of this, Xia Jia quickly moved her fingers.
[Shaga: I agree to your request. There are currently three spots available. Please have the patients create a separate group chat; I will announce the specific procedures in the group.]
[Shaga: Also, I'll give you an address. Find someone for me; I need to reserve a spot for someone.]
Hong Kong North General Hospital.
Kotoko Iwanaga looked at the message from Natsumi on the screen and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"What a coincidence."
Having made this certainty, Kotoko Iwanaga knocked on Dr. Kurahashi's door.
The doctor was young and wore glasses; he was Lanzi's attending physician.
"Oh, Kotoko-chan, are you here for a follow-up appointment? What can I do for you? If I remember correctly, your attending physician is that guy, Tobe."
"Yes, there are some things I'd like to trouble you with."
Kotoko Iwanaga explained her plan.
Dr. Kurahashi stroked his chin thoughtfully upon hearing this: "Logically speaking, we shouldn't give patients things of unknown origin, but, that child, Ranko..."
Dr. Kurahashi said helplessly, "Theoretically, we won't refuse as long as the person agrees."
"But does such a device really exist? You know, even the imperial court's research and development progress is far behind what you're describing."
Kotoko Iwanaga raised the corners of her mouth: "Whether it's a weight or a needle, we'll know once we take it out and run it around."
Chapter 28 Daily Tasks
Eight in the morning.
[Shaga: "So, right now I need to prioritize cooperating with the hospital to treat some special patients."]
Shaka replied to the message, temporarily postponing the applications of [Blank] and others, and tried to persuade some of his own people who might come to the other world to help him.
When faced with terminally ill patients, most people are quite understanding and say they would give up their spots to those who need them more.
Shaja also felt that he was doing something great.
As for recruiting new members...
"When the time comes, I'll urge [Agasa's Shop] to help add a brainwave detection system to the helmet."
"This way, if I experience severe pain or stimulation, I can receive timely feedback and cut off the magic."
Russian qing.
The appointed time has arrived.
"The first Servant of the Evil King's Eye, the Thunder Hammer Wielder—Sanae Dekomori, reporting for duty!"
As soon as Dekomori was released, he rushed off to find his Noble Phantasm, which made Cecil smile.
The black cat, on the other hand, was much quieter, casually asking, "So, how's work today?"
She hasn't forgotten that she's still a working-class person.
Xia Jia pays a good hourly wage, and the key point is that it's at night, so it doesn't affect my classes or taking care of my sister at all. It's perfect.
She is now able to share the burden of the family.
There's no specific work to do today. Is there anything you'd like to do?
Xia Jia chuckled: "Hmm... I'll give you some suggestions, such as future professions and weapons."
Dekomori jumped up and raised his hand: "I want to become a Thunder Hammer user!"
Xia Jia ignored her and looked at the black cat.
"I... I'd say magic. I want to try magic! And, yesterday's fabric... cough cough, I want to use it to construct a Dark Magic Armor."
As she spoke, the black cat's signature tango background music began to play. She sat elegantly in the chair, crossed her legs, and spoke with the air of a young lady:
"It is understandable that power is sealed, but even so, elegance should not be lost. My Night Familia, offer up the veil of night."
Xia Jia understood immediately and placed the clothing materials she had bought yesterday into the black cat's arms.
It seems the black cat really likes that outfit.
"There are many books on magic in the back room, including a lot of information about this world's setting and monsters. You can take a look when you have time."
The black cat nodded upon hearing this, hugged the fabric, and hummed a song.
She was very happy; today's task was easy, and she got a free day, feeling quite pleased with herself.
She even wondered if she could bring her assignments with her when she finished her work in the future.
Then, secretly work hard and amaze everyone.
Cool, cool, cool! At night, she is a Nightborne warrior roaming the Abyss Sea, battling fiercely. By day, she is a winged, honor student studying at Sakura Empire University.
