Heathcliff: "That utterly unimportant matter can already be put behind us."
Heathcliff: "Next, welcome my labor of love—[Sword Art: Jianghu]."
At that moment, Kayaba Akihiko suddenly spoke in the Chat Group.
Ordinary Group Owner: "???"
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "???"
Utaha Kasumigaoka: "???"
Kill-Stealing Kazuma: "Hey, hey, could you maybe take a look at the current mood here, old man?!"
Kill-Stealing Kazuma: "Everyone's worried about the newcomer and lamenting her original fate, and you suddenly pop up talking about some game!"
Kill-Stealing Kazuma: "And what the hell do you mean by 'unimportant matter'?"
Kazuma Sato couldn't help but blurt out a complaint. The story of Angel Beats! had just left his eyes a little damp, and his emotions had yet to fully settle.
Then Kayaba Akihiko abruptly appeared and so lightly called Kanade Tachibana's situation "unimportant."
Heathcliff: "What are you talking about? It's merely heart disease. Would she still die after joining the Chat Group?"
Heathcliff: "Even without the extra power bestowed by the group owner, the Points gained from daily Check-ins would be enough to buy medicine in the Chat Group Mall that could cure such an illness."
Heathcliff: "Ultimately, this is merely an illness considered terminal in worlds whose technological level remains at that of modern daily life. Before the Chat Group, it poses no real threat whatsoever, nor is there any need to invest excessive, unnecessary sentiment in it."
Facing Kazuma Sato's questioning, Kayaba Akihiko spoke as though it were only natural.
Life and death were certainly major matters, but once an individual had joined an existence beyond common sense like the Chat Group, the possibility of "death"—especially death by illness—had already been reduced to "zero."
Under the premise of the "Chat Group," Kanade Tachibana's heart disease was merely "an illness that could be easily resolved."
