When Rinko Kamishiro was pondering these questions, she didn't know that a figure had already teleported to her side, looking at her chest and hair with a subtle look.

This gaze made Rinko Kamishiro feel strange, so she noticed it quickly, but she did not turn around to look at that person.

In her opinion, there is no point in arguing with other players in this kind of game, it will only waste mood and time.

Just as Rinko was about to get up and leave, the person next to her spoke.

"Rinko, I'm sorry, I didn't realize before that you care about this aspect of yourself."

A familiar voice sounded in her ears, causing Kamishiro Rinko to freeze in place, not daring to turn around for a moment.

It wasn't until that person stood in front of Rinko Kamishiro that she calmed down.

The reason why she was calm was because the person who appeared in front of her was not the familiar 'Kayaba Akihiko', but 'Heathcliff'.

Although Kayaba Akihiko looks somewhat similar to the character of Heathcliff, there is still some difference between them.

".Wordy."

Rinko looked down at the big thunder that she had specially pinched, her face turned a little red, and she looked away pretending not to care.

"I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. Mainly, something happened at the time and I was too excited. I was also a little pressed for time, so I didn't have time to explain to you."

Kayaba Akihiko reached out his hand and took Kamishiro Rinko, sitting with her on the bench next to him. He looked at her sincerely and said, "Thank you for coming here to see me."

"Are you really you?"

Rinko Kamishiro looked at the person next to her with an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

"Well, it's a long story. It all started in early June last year when the SAO closed beta test was launched."

Kayaba Akihiko slowly began to tell Rinko the story of what had happened to him over the past thirteen months.

But precisely because this is a very long story, it took a while.

The two of them sat on the bench, just like they did in college, holding hands, one talking slowly while the other listened slowly.

Time gradually came to two o'clock in the morning.

The starting town on the first floor was still brightly lit, with lights everywhere from Pokémon releasing their skills or powerful flashlights bought by players at the store. It was clearly a time when silence should have been the norm, but the first floor of Aincrad was bustling with people everywhere, and the sounds of players talking and giving orders could be heard everywhere. No one would feel lonely in such a place.

"If you had told me this before, I would have thought you were crazy, but now seeing you again is already a miracle for me, so even if you say other unbelievable things, I can accept it."

Rinko Kamishiro's expression has always been quite calm.

She wasn't like this during her college years, she was just an ordinary, lively girl who had love and admiration for her senior, Kayaba Akihiko.

However, in order to be closer to Kayaba Akihiko, she joined the laboratory where Kayaba Akihiko was. The days of immersion in research made her temperament increasingly cold.

Although she ended up together with Kayaba Akihiko, her personality had completely changed.

"Rinko, did anything happen over there?"

"No."

Rinko Kamishiro shook her head indifferently without even looking at Kayaba Akihiko.

"Are you angry?"

"Yes."

"Because I threw you into that world without your permission."

"Yes."

"Then can you please die?"

"."

Rinko Kamishiro's eyes gradually widened, and she looked at Kayaba Akihiko with a dull gaze, and her mouth gradually opened.

"Sorry, I was a little nervous and didn't say it well."

Kayaba Akihiko patted his head belatedly, and a panel popped up at the same time, showing Kayaba Akihiko's heart rate, which was a little off the normal level, to prove to Kamishiro Rinko that what he said was true. Then he continued, "What I mean is, are you willing to give up your life over there, come to Pokémon Island, and come back to me?"

"Is this your confession?"

Kamishiro Rinko slowly closed her mouth, moved her eyes away from Kayaba Akihiko's face, and looked at the grass next to her.

At the same time, her hands kept stroking the Vine Snake in her arms, which was like a doll.

Snake was caressed by its trainer, and a happy and comfortable expression appeared on its face.

Those who are familiar with her know that Rinko's mood is probably already in chaos at this moment.

But it's not surprising that Rinko is like this.

Although she doesn't seem to care much about other people now, she is actually still deeply in love with Kayaba Akihiko.

Otherwise, in the original work, she would not have taken such a huge risk and taken care of Kayaba Akihiko's body for two years after the SAO incident.

When she confessed her love, it was Rinko, who was still a little lively at the time, who took the initiative to speak.

As time passed, the positions were reversed, and this time it was Kayaba Akihiko who nervously confessed his feelings to Rinko.

“I think it can be understood as.”

Kayaba Akihiko pinched his chin, as if looking for a suitable word to describe it.

Rinko Kamishiro lowered her eyes and sighed inwardly, thinking that Kayaba Akihiko was going to find a bland word to prevaricate.

"'Propose', perhaps a more appropriate word."

After pondering for a few seconds, Kayaba Akihiko finally found the right words.

".Eh?"

Kamishiro Rinko was stunned for a moment, and slowly turned her head to look at Kayaba Akihiko. Seeing the latter's serious expression, her face turned a little redder, "You're proposing like this?"

"No, of course I have prepared a proposal gift for you, but not in this virtual world, but in the Pokémon Island."

"So, you don't intend to leave me any other options."

"Yes."

Kayaba Akihiko nodded, revealing a surprisingly domineering side of him.

However, Kamishiro Rinko seemed to have anticipated this, so she was not surprised at all. Rather, it could be said that she actually liked Kayaba Akihiko's domineering side.

"what should I do?"

"I just said that."

".die?"

Rinko Kamishiro thought about it, then frowned and her expression became a little ugly.

It's not that she doesn't want to die.

In fact, her situation is the same as Kayaba Akihiko's. Her family members have passed away one after another in the past, and there is nothing worth caring about in this world except a few friends.

The reason why she frowned was simply because in order to achieve the goal of "death", she would definitely have to go through some "pain" in the process.

Rinko is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of pain.

"Yes, and you must die while wearing the first generation NERvGear. Only in this way can I let Porygon-B help me transfer your consciousness to the new body I prepared for you."

Kayaba Akihiko explained the principle of implementation to Kamishiro Rinko.

Although Rinko's attainments and ideas in this area are not as good as Kayaba Akihiko's, at least she can understand what he says.

"What else do you need me to do?"

"Emmm, if possible, please help me transfer the relevant information about Medicuboid. I remember leaving it with you."

Kayaba Akihiko thought about it and decided that there was nothing else Rinko needed to do.

Since coming to the Pokémon Island and having access to resources from multiple worlds, he discovered that the scientific research materials on Blue Star were really quite scarce.

He once visited Vegapunk's research institute. After seeing some of the special metals in the doctor's research institute, the ideas he had in Blue Star revived in his mind.

He wanted to create a somatosensory chamber that would allow organisms to play games while sleeping, without wasting sleeping time or delaying the body's rest.

During the research, it was discovered that several materials with special properties were missing. Theoretically, such materials do not exist or cannot be produced on the Blue Planet. Perhaps they only exist in the universe, but no relevant records have been found so far.

However, there are quite a lot of such materials in the sailing world, and there are very few scientific researchers in the sailing world, and most people do not know how to use these materials. This also leads to these materials being extremely abundant, and basically no one will rush to grab them. He can purchase them in large quantities at a very low price.

"Okay, I see. It will probably take three days."

Rinko Kamishiro nodded without any objection.

Medicuboid itself is the masterpiece of Akihiko Kayaba. It is an upgraded version of NERvGear. It has electromagnetic pulses that are several times stronger and can interrupt the signals transmitted by nerves to the brain to eliminate pain.

In Kayaba Akihiko's vision, this is a machine used to "treat" diseases.

There are some surgeries in the world that cannot be performed with anesthesia, but not being able to use anesthesia will cause the patient extreme pain, so much so that the body's instinctive violent struggle will greatly increase the difficulty of the operation and may even lead to the patient's death.

Medicuboid was created for situations like this.

In the original work, Medicuboid was also used to treat AIDS (AIDS) of Asuna's younger sister, 'Absolute Sword' Konno Komonji, whom she met in the new ALO, but the final result was unfortunate. In the few days before April 2026, Konno Komonji's condition suddenly worsened and eventually died.

In addition, Medicuboid actually has another function that cannot be mentioned on the surface.

That is, euthanasia.

In the true sense, people die without feeling any pain.

"Well, as the number of trainers increases, the need for medical equipment at the Pokémon Center has also increased. Medicuboid can reduce the pressure on the medical department."

"Okay, I get it. It's just right. I'll try the effect of Medicuboid."

Kamishiro Rinko's words were already very clear.

She planned to try out whether the Medicuboid's 'euthanasia' function still had flaws.

"Please, thank you, Rinko."

Kayaba Akihiko smiled and nodded, leaning his head towards Rinko.

But Rinko held up a finger to stop him.

Jingyan looked at Rinko in some confusion. It was a rare occasion for him to take the initiative, but Rinko actually refused.

"When we meet again in real life, we can have a good and in-depth discussion."
