Kayaba Akihiko also has allies. After all, the "information immortality" experiment he conducted can still attract the interest of many people.
It’s a pity that these people are not on the same page with Kayaba Akihiko, and some have even planned to sacrifice Kayaba Akihiko as soon as the plan is completed.
Otherwise, Kayaba Akihiko would not have made such a cruel decision to turn SAO into a death game, making the players' emotions change more frequently and promoting the progress of the experiment.
It’s a pity that, judging from the current progress, the Rose Knights should be attacking the 100th floor soon.
By then, my identity will be exposed, and the experiment will probably be difficult to continue.
"Akihiko, I don't know why, but I've been feeling uneasy lately." Rinko Kamishiro slowly approached Akihiko Kayaba and placed her hand on Akihiko Kayaba's shoulder.
After hearing what Kamishiro Rinko said, Kayaba Akihiko's right hand left the keyboard and placed it on Kamishiro Rinko's hand.

"Maybe it's because the underground environment is too closed. Don't let your imagination run wild, Rinko."
"Do you think this is the right approach for us?" Rinko Kamishiro said with a long sigh.
Kayaba Akihiko blinked: "I don't know if it's right or not, but there is one thing I must make clear, it's not us, it's me."
Rinko Kamishiro smiled bitterly. She knew that Kayaba Akihiko wanted her to distance herself from the matter, but how could she escape responsibility for it?
Rinko Kamishiro was involved in all the plans and was a participant in everything.
Even if the law lets her off, the families of the dead players won't let her off.
Even if she could leave, hide abroad, or escape to the ends of the earth, the people behind Kayaba Akihiko would find her.
From the very beginning, she chose to support Kayaba Akihiko's plan as the starting point, and there was no turning back.
Completing the experiment and achieving information immortality is their only way to survive.
Kayaba Akihiko took another sip of chicken soup and took the nervgear from the table: "I'm going to log in to SAO, you take a rest first."
Kamishiro Rinko nodded and slowly walked out of the room. Kayaba Akihiko lay on the folding bed in the room and logged into SAO.
"Captain, long time no see."
Kirito said happily when he saw Kayaba Akihiko coming out of the inner hall.
The outside world has not seen Kayaba Akihiko for several months. Even within the Blood Alliance Knights, Kayaba Akihiko has disappeared for nearly half a month.
"Kirito, thank you for your hard work during this period." Kayaba Akihiko looked at Kirito and said slowly.
"No, it's actually okay." Kirito said quickly.
It is actually not difficult to manage the Knights of the Blood Alliance. After Kayaba Akihiko frequently disappeared, the Knights of the Blood Alliance changed their original expansion strategy and chose to maintain the status quo instead.
Since the Rose Knights amazed everyone and the other side stopped recruiting early on, there were not many people in the Blood Alliance Knights who had different ideas.
After all, in terms of influence, the Knights of the Blood Alliance is the second knightly order after the Knights of the Rose, and in terms of team strength, the Knights of the Blood Alliance can even surpass the Knights of the Rose.
Of course, the three leaders of the Order of the Rose were not included in the discussion.
To put it more directly, the Knights are actually just a place where players gather together for warmth, and everyone will naturally go where the fire is burning more vigorously.
They are just poor creatures imprisoned by Kayaba Akihiko, why would they want to fight for power and profit?
"These are some materials and equipment I collected outside. You can pick some of them yourself. The rest will be placed in the Knights' warehouse for players who need them to exchange."
Kirito couldn't help but blink slightly when he saw the supplies that Kayaba Akihiko had traded to him.
This has become a routine for Kayaba Akihiko, after all, the reason for disappearing every time is to explore alone. It would be unreasonable to disappear for such a long time without any spoils.
Kirito didn't hesitate to select a few pieces of equipment and some materials before putting the rest into the Knights' warehouse.
"What's the situation with the Rose Knights?" asked Kayaba Akihiko.
"He came here several times before and wanted to return the key to the Black Iron Palace to us, but I refused. He hasn't come here in the past week." Kirito said.
"Didn't they launch an attack on the 100th floor?" asked Kayaba Akihiko.
He knew about this. After all, Kayaba Akihiko himself was the boss guarding the 100th floor. Asking now would only dispel Kirito's doubts.
"Not as far as I know. It seems the other party is planning to upgrade first and be fully prepared before entering the 100th floor." Kirito said.
"You're really cautious." Kayaba Akihiko snorted coldly.
After a period of analysis, he has determined that the Order of the Rose Knights definitely knows something about the details of the 100th floor!
Although he may not be clear about the identity of his alias - "Heathcliff", and does not know that the 100th floor is guarded by the GM, there is actually no possibility of passing it.
However, Kayaba Akihiko was certain that the other party knew some details about Aincrad.
【
I just don't know whether the other party is from Sugo Nobuyuki's faction or from some other faction. 】
Kayaba Akihiko took a deep breath and looked at Kirito again: "Take me to the Blood Alliance Group."
Kirito marked the exchange price of the materials placed in the warehouse, then looked at Kayaba Akihiko: "Yes, Captain Heathcliff!"
……
When he woke up in the morning, Doma Mai was still sleeping soundly, so Yushan Kazuto had to carefully put Doma Mai down from his body.
The whole process was somewhat charming, but mostly awkward.
Yushan Kazuto didn't know whether he had been standing all night or it was because he was facing the sun in the morning.
All in all, the process of getting up in the morning was a bit slow and not very pleasant.
It was not until he washed his face that Yushan Heren's urge to act gradually subsided.
Although I said last night that I would treat Doma Yui the same as Shirasaki Hana, the two are not the same person after all and cannot be overlapped.
The youthful and beautiful feeling of Doma Mai is something that Shirasaki Hana does not have. Shirasaki Hana is more cute and sensible, which is very different from Doma Mai.
With the cold tap water splashed on his face, Yushan Heren became a little more sober and shook his head vigorously. The top priority now was morning exercise, not thinking about these messy things.
After walking out of the bathroom, Yushan Kazuto looked back at the head of the bed. There was a faint light shining through the curtains, and Tsuchima Mai was sleeping soundly.
Chapter 1086: Sanae Toumori's Little Thoughts.
"Why is Komaru here too?"
Seeing Doma Yui next to Hayama Kazuto, Toumori Sanae said unhappily.
"Well, I think... it shouldn't be a problem to take a Koumeiro with us, right?" Yushan Kazuto said angrily.
The original agreement was to take Sanae Toumori out for a trip alone, but there have been so many things going on recently that it is a bit difficult to take a day off to take Sanae Toumori out alone.
"The great devil Yushan broke his promise, death!" Touma Sanae gritted her teeth, but her eyes were fixed on Tsuchima Mai.
The two most important words in the original agreement were "alone" rather than "traveling".
For Touma Sanae, the company of Kazuto Ueyama alone is much more important than going out for fun.
If you just want to go out and play, Toumori Sanae can go out at any time, and if you want to find someone to accompany you, it's just a matter of a word.
Whether it is Yui Doma, Rikka Takanashi, or some other classmates, or even idol groups and celebrity artists.
As long as Toumori Sanae wants them to accompany her, the Toumori family has a way to make them appear by Toumori Sanae's side, but Toumori Sanae is only interested in Hayama Kazuto.
However, the Toumori family has no good solution for Kazuto Yuyama, and Toumori Sanae doesn't like to force Kazuto Yuyama. She hopes that Kazuto Yuyama can remember her on his own initiative.
When she received a call from Yushan Kazuto this morning, she was so happy that she almost fell off the bed. She arrived at the agreed location early, rubbing her hands and waiting.
However, after seeing Tsuchima Yui, Touma Sanae's joy disappeared.
"Well, actually, I have another mission in Akihabara today, which is to choose a birthday present for Xiaohua."
"Tomorrow is Xiaohua's birthday. Koumaru-chan and she have a very good relationship, so I asked Koumaru-chan to help me with some advice on what gift would be more suitable for Xiaohua."
Looking at Toumori Sanae's expression, Hayama Kazuto had to explain.
"Hana's birthday is coming soon?" Toumori Sanae blinked slightly. She was not aware of this beforehand.
"Well, after school tomorrow, I plan to go to Tama to celebrate Xiaohua's birthday." Yushan Heren nodded and said.
Toumori Sanae's eyes swept from Hayama Kazuto to Tsuchimami Umi and asked, "Mayumi-chan is coming too?"
"Well, there's also Sagiri." Yushan Kazuto spread his hands and said.
"I want to die too!" said Toumori Sanae with a snort.
Originally, she and Shirosaki Hana were the first to know each other. After all, Touma Sanae had already been to Tama before Shirosaki Hana came to Tokyo.
However, because their residence was far away from that of Hayama Kazuto, their relationship did not become close after Shirasaki Hana came to Tokyo, and instead, Doma Yui came from behind.
Hayama Kazuto looked at Toumori Sanae, but he didn't expect that she also wanted to go to Tama.
After a little thought, Yushan Kazuto nodded: "Then tomorrow afternoon, when we have finished making the cake, we will come to pick you up."
Toumori Sanae nodded slightly. Her home was located in the direction of Tama, so it was convenient for Yushan Kazuto to come and pick her up.
"Hello, what kind of gift should we prepare for Xiaohua, Death?" Touma Sanae came close to Tsuchimome and asked softly.
Doma Mei was a little frightened by Toumori Sanae's tone. She couldn't help but grin and took a half step back.
"We plan to buy some Hu Zilang peripherals. Hu Zilang recently launched a new series of peripherals." said Doma Mai.
Unfortunately, the sale of the limited edition ended yesterday, and Kazuto Yuyama can only buy some more unlimited editions as birthday gifts.
After all, if quality isn't enough, quantity can make up for it.
"The surroundings of Hu Zilang..." Toumori Sanae fell into deep thought.
Giving Hu Zi Lang some peripheral products is definitely a good idea. Shirosaki Hana will definitely like it, but Touma Sanae feels that this gift doesn't seem to be original enough.
"What is the name of Xiaohua's school, Death?" Toumori Sanae suddenly asked.
"Eh? It seems to be called... Kawanose Elementary School?" Yushan Kazuto recalled seriously, "It seems to be under your group as well."
Toumori Sanae nodded and wrote down the name of the school.
It doesn’t matter whether it is a school under the Sakura Education Group, it is enough to know where the school is.
Taking out her cell phone and searching the map, Toumori Sanae blinked slightly.
The school is not far from Shirasaki's house, about 400 meters away. After all, Shirasaki Hana always walks to and from school. If it is far away, she should ride a bike, take the train, or drive to school.
However, within this short distance of 400 meters, there are actually three dessert shops, one of which is a chain brand owned by the Tushou family, and it is the most high-end of the three dessert shops.
Toumori Sanae blinked slightly, and she seemed to have thought of what kind of gift she should give to Shirasaki Hana.
……
“I didn’t expect the Hu Zi Lang peripherals this time were quite good.”
After purchasing Hu Zilang's peripherals, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
Although I didn’t buy the limited edition, the remaining regular editions were also made with great care, at least they are much more refined than the peripherals I bought before.
One of the blind boxes of Hu Zilang's constellation is something that even Kazuto Yuyama himself wants to collect. Perhaps it is because he had been in contact with Hana Shirasaki for too long, which made Kazuto Yuyama a little interested in Hu Zilang.
Unfortunately, after buying more than 40, I only got a complete set of twelve constellations. Most of the others were duplicates, especially Leo, which was much more numerous. Yushan Kazuto had to give up.
I plan to collect a set myself.
The things have been purchased, but the time in Akihabara today is not over yet.
After all, since you have come here with great difficulty, you still have to play with the claw machines and gashapon machines.
They walked into a doll shop, exchanged coins, and then several people started catching them.
Tsuchiya's technique is as excellent as ever, with smooth movements that are a joy to watch.
However, what surprised Yushan Kazuto was that Toumori Sanae's skills had actually improved a lot.
You know, her skills were already very good, but she just lacked a little proficiency.
After all, she didn't come to this kind of video game arcade or claw machine store very often. She practiced hard once before, but she didn't come here often after that.
But now, her skills have obviously become much more sophisticated. She can grab the doll quickly and accurately, and she has mastered all kinds of special techniques.
Toumori Sanae's skills are almost catching up with Domama!
Seeing the improvement in Toumori Sanae's skills, Domama was a little surprised. Although Toumori Sanae's skills were good before, they were still a little behind his own.
However, now, Touma Sanae is able to keep up with her, how could this not surprise Tsuchima Mai.
[It's Umaru-chan... Have you been catching dolls less often recently? ]
Tsuchiya blinked.
