Yuki was affected because she was hospitalized nearby.
How could such a thing possibly cure someone's illness? Letting the other person have these unfounded fantasies now will only make the truth more painful when it comes out.
Kerry, on the other hand, listened intently to what was on the screen.
Yui wanted to speak several times, but she felt that the moment was crucial, so she could only weakly type in the lower right corner of the screen.
"Okay! Come on, let me tell you. Leafa told you, right? I've actually been sick all along."
The girl seemed somewhat sensitive and even unwilling to say the name of the disease.
She casually sat down on the grass, and Kirito sat down not far away.
"Actually, although I keep telling others that I don't care and I just want to enjoy the last part of my life."
But, as expected, I still can't help but care!
I want to live! There are so many places I haven't been to, so many people I want to meet, so many delicious foods I want to eat in real life, so many things I want to do, so many things I want to do, so many joys and sorrows with my friends at school. I want to go see those places on behalf of everyone in the guild and my older sister…
But... I couldn't do it before, because I knew I was going to die. Even if I left the room to go to school, I probably would only live for a year or two, and then my condition would worsen. Although the doctor wouldn't tell me, I knew it all along.
Sorry! Sorry! I've been talking about myself! But I just wanted to tell you that it was under these circumstances that I met Mr. Fish, and he told me I could survive!

Chapter 178. Mother-in-law's things.
silent.
Kiritani Kazuto looked at the girl who had been chattering away to him since their first meeting and didn't know what to say.
He wanted to speak up and tell the other person that they were wrong.
That monster is no good; it appeared on the shore and entered everyone's dreams.
The creature was surrounded by zombies covered in green moss, so its claim of being alive was highly improbable.
However, the girl in front of me, who is suffering from a terminal illness, seems to regard this as her hope for survival.
If I tell her, wouldn't that be like extinguishing her hope with my own hands?
Moreover, after extinguishing the blaze, there was nothing I could do to help her; I could only watch helplessly as she died.
If it were Kerry, he would probably speak up without hesitation.
Because that guy is very gentle in some ways, but surprisingly cold-blooded in others.
But Kirito couldn't do it; he... was too fussy!
"Ah... I see..."
Kirito touched his head.
At that moment, an idea came to him.
Let this girl hold onto hope. Her sickly friend is helpless. The establishment of the immortal team's connection is not something anyone can control. Besides, there are countless people in the world who will get terminal illnesses, and they can't save every single one of them. That's what those admirable medical pioneers are doing.
I can't do anything about it.
No, there's at least one thing I can do: kill that monster.
Then, clinging to the hope that she could survive, the girl one day throws herself into the sea…
But... Kirito's pupils trembled, as if none of them were the result he wanted.
This boy, who gets angry because of human experimentation, who punishes others for murder, and who calmly judges gains and losses, felt as if he had been hit in the chest by a heavy hammer.
Moreover, Kirito's "gentlemanly" nature is indiscriminate; he doesn't only show this feeling when the other person is a beautiful girl.
Whether he is standing in front of a boy or an older woman, his thoughts will not change.
He could only laugh awkwardly and continue chatting with Yuki.
[Toyokawa Shoko: Kiritani, what are you doing?]
[Toyokawa Shoko: Tell her that thing is dangerous! Then tell her not to do anything irrational, and wait for us to figure out how to deal with the monster!]
Xiangzi was furious because of her own actions. She hated this kind of guy who thought he could help others but couldn't see reality and offered them a false sense of salvation.
She regretted it day and night, thinking that maybe she should have never gotten to know the lamp in the first place.
But now, the situation is much more serious than when she just wanted to play with the lamp.
Needless to say, Kirito is someone who understands reality, unlike the weak, foolish self he had back then who was now dead.
Kerry didn't interrupt Kirito; he had already learned enough from Yuuki.
He was thinking about what to do next.
Kirito looked at the message popping up in his mind, closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath.
“In this way, Yuki, I can also feel Mr. Fish’s call.”
You're in the hospital now, right? Don't worry, just leave it to me and my partner.
We'll go check on Mr. Fish first! You stay here.
"Oh...are you leaving?"
A moment of disappointment flashed across Yuki's face.
But then she put on a smiling face again.
"Speaking of which, I've been studying swordsmanship in the game all these years! Would you like to spar with me? I've been wanting to test my skills against a master like you for a long time."
"Haha! No problem!"
……
A few minutes later.
Kirito disconnected from the game, and the illusion disappeared from his sight.
"I lost..."
Recalling those magnificent sword techniques, Kirito shook his head with a sense of relief.
He lost not because his combat skills had become rusty; on the contrary, his combat skills in real combat were far superior to those he had only learned in the game.
However, in reality, he was already used to aiming at weak points and attacking those parts that could maim or kill people. In the game, the weak point detection area is actually very small, and the numerical damage is the same whether you hit the hand or the shoulder in the non-weak point area.
The enemy will not lose the ability to fight back just because their hands are attacked.
So he failed precisely because of these experiences.
However, when he looked up, he noticed something was amiss.
Quiet……
Why is my room so quiet?
He figured that when he woke up, he would probably see Kerry and Toyokawa both giving him sour looks.
He opened the door, only to find the room empty.
This is……
Outside, Kerry and Xiangzi looked at Kirito lying on the bed with grumpy faces, finding it rather strange.
"Didn't he log off?"
Kerry looked at the helmet.
"Dad is indeed offline! But he hasn't woken up. Yui has already used the mild electric current wake-up method, but Dad hasn't responded at all!"
The extremely anxious voice of Kiritani Yui came from inside the helmet.
"Ok?"
Kerry and Xiangzi exchanged a glance and went to the room next door where Hezhen was sleeping.
“Kazuma?”
Kerry deliberately raised his voice and spoke next to the real person.
However, Kazuma lay there motionless.
Kerry casually nudged Kazuma, who was fast asleep and drooling, but he didn't move at all.
The two then realized something was wrong.
They were in this state of being emanating fragrance, and they were unable to wake up on their own.
Seeing that making sounds and shaking the other party were ineffective, Kerry thought for a moment and had no choice but to use his last resort.
"If you don't get up, I'm going to dismantle all the wives and equipment you've maxed out in the game!"
Kerry leaned close to Kazuma and whispered something in his ear.
"..."
"Oh no, I really can't get up now."
Kerry turned to Xiangzi and said.
Since Kazuma was killed, his body needed to be disposed of and carried outside.
So, Kerry went next door, dragged Kirito off the bed, carried him to the bathroom, and swiftly struck him with a knife.
"Don't even think about it!"
As his wounds slowly healed, Kirito's dark eyes widened, and he let out a roar.
As soon as he got up, Kirito clutched his chest and gasped for breath.
Upon seeing Kerry, he was overjoyed and hugged him tightly.
"Kerry! You're back to normal! That's wonderful! That's wonderful!"
"what?"
Kerry was completely stunned when Kirito hugged him.
Seeing that the other person was about to lower his head and cry in his arms, Kerry immediately pushed Kirito away.
"Kirito! What have you done?!"
