Yusei felt a headache coming on. He had originally thought about taking his little sister to fight bosses, but the reality of the game helmet's price left him somewhat helpless.
And his headache wasn't just about the expensive game helmets… it was also about the danger of SAO.
The danger of this famous death game was undoubtedly extremely high. Even he couldn't guarantee coming out unscathed, let alone bringing the pure and innocent Shiro along.
Earlier, because Kanako called him for dinner, he had temporarily put the matter aside. But now, remembering it again, Yusei was starting to hesitate.
'Should I take Shiro to play the game or not? How to ensure her safety? If we were to play, how to get the game helmets?'
These three questions tangled in Yusei's mind, making him quite frustrated.
He really had no way to deal with the money issue. Even if he got a part-time job, how much could he earn?
'Couldn't ask the family for it, couldn't earn enough... couldn't just go and rob someone, right?'
'Wait.... Rob?'
Yusei suddenly remembered something, 'Wasn't the source of SAO's danger that guy, Kayaba Akihiko?'
'If I could use the Sharingan to hypnotize him, I might be able to implant suggestions like, 'Yusei is the person I respect the most, and I must obey all his commands', etc.-'
'In the original work, the Sharingan was used to control the Fourth Mizukage with Genjutsu. Although that required the Mangekyo and advanced Genjutsu, the target was a Kage and Jinchuriki.'
'What I needed to control now was just an ordinary person.'
'This would not only solve the danger at its source but also get us the most luxurious game helmets for free.'
As for whether he would feel guilty, or whether using supernatural power violated his own bottom line...
Yusei naturally had his own division of good and evil in his heart.
Kayaba was essentially a 'murderer'.
Yusei didn't have the notion of punishing him on behalf of the dead players, but he also wouldn't feel any guilt.
It was like dealing with it with a normal heart, acting according to his nature, but his actions followed his own moral boundaries.
'That's settled then. And when the time comes, I can even cheat like Kirito did.'
Yusei secretly made up his mind.
The SAO's development center wasn't some secret organization. Its location was known… it just wasn't open to the public and had security measures.
When the time came, he could just hypnotize a researcher and have them take him in to see Kayaba.
It wasn't particularly difficult.
But thinking of SAO's details, Yusei remembered Asuna, which led him to think of a certain nauseating guy.
Yusei's expression gradually turned cold. He remembered that before entering SAO, he needed to take care of one guy.
Sugo Nobuyuki who kidnapped Asuna into ALO.
He was a superficially righteous, actually despicable and disgusting guy. He even almost succeeded with Asuna.
Yusei knew such a vomit-inducing maggot needed to be eliminated!
This was part of Yusei's division of good and evil.
…
After watching TV with Shiro for a while, the door to the Kazami Home opened.
Akira and Kanako walked in together, each holding several food containers.
Kanako, seeing the siblings watching TV together harmoniously, couldn't help but show a happy smile on her face.
"Yusei-kun, Shiro, come eat dinner. You must be very hungry, right?"
Kanako placed the dinner on the table, opening the containers one by one. Various foods were revealed inside, their aroma filling the air.
Yusei was somewhat surprised, 'Wasn't this dinner a bit too luxurious?'
For his predecessor, this was indeed very luxurious, as it was something the Kazami Family only had during the New Year.
It was okay for him, but that didn't stop Yusei from calculating. After all, based on his family's financial situation, that this dinner was luxurious for the Kazami Family's economic status.
Shiro, however, showed no reaction. She sat on the chair next to Yusei, looking at the mousse cake at the far end of the table.
Yusei smiled, brought it over for her, and watched her take small bites.
The Kazami couple smiled knowingly at the siblings' small interactions. The family hadn't been combined for long, but the children seemed to get along well.
That was good enough for them.
Halfway through dinner, Yusei looked at Kanako, then at Akira, hesitated for a moment in his heart, but still spoke up.
"Mom, Shiro... she's old enough to be sent to school, right?"
Saying this, Yusei also felt helpless because he remembered Shiro's setting as a child prodigy.
Due to her high IQ not being understood, she was isolated, which eventually led to her hating school.
But the problem was, if Shiro just stayed at home all day watching TV and playing games, wouldn't she become... useless?
If that were all, it might be okay, as playing games wasn't necessarily bad. But the problem was, Shiro only played single-player games.
Yusei felt that if she's going to play games, she should find someone to play with, as being this reclusive wasn't good.
At the very least, she should go to school to find a little friend to play games with... and of course, it had to be a little girl.
