Here we go again with another perk list compendium, great work by the way thanks to the author, but it's kinda funny every time Fujino take a break in his 30 days schedule someone bring it back.
[Surrogacy Deal]【Mindset】 “I just need to help him conceive a child, and then I can... return to a normal life with Kirito...”
Asuna agreed to Inoda's request, promising to help him become a surrogate mother. But is this really to help Inoda, or is it just a convenient excuse to engage in unprotected intimacy with him? It doesn't matter anymore. After becoming pregnant, this twisted relationship will come to an end.
This perk in particular give the impression in this phase Asuna is having constant sex with Inoda, but still want to break things off to go back with Kirito?
Obviously this is Inoda manipulation, but let's take as face value how she getting pregnant by Inoda would help her to go back to Kirito? A Surrogacy Deal implies she will have to give the baby away to Inoda how she hopes to explain that to Kirito?
That makes zero sense.
The way the perk is framed "I can... return to a normal life with Kirito..." and "After becoming pregnant, this twisted relationship will come to an end. " give 2 vibes at same time, that she is going to do that behind Kirito's back knowing this is just Inoda's impregnation fetish and passing the baby as kirito's.
And at same time that she's being forced to do that for "this twisted relationship will come to an end." implying that Kirito maybe know what's going on and for some reason can't do nohting to interfere.
Maybe the twist that Fujino is hinting could be this, Inoda will receive some sort of power from the Admin/council as usual, but this time IRL, Mind Control and all that, what he will use to control everyone beside Asuna and Kirito because he wants to break her and just humiliate kirito showing Asuna choosing him, more or less in a hostage situation, well that would be fucked up
The Admin once said that to Kirito "since you is doing nothing, I should pick the other as my choosen one" maybe she already did that because the ritual since he is her/Yui real father
