New Game

Yay!

I'm done with finals!

It's summer break!

Oh, hey, Aocchi.

How long's your summer break?

Let's go play!

College is awesome!

I have two months of summer break.

Aren't you jealous?

Aocchi?

Apparently, I don't get a break.

Sorry.

We're getting busy going into the final phase,

so we don't get a break until we're done.

Then you're gonna be busy working?

Yeah, but it only makes the game better.

You should buy it when it's out.

Of course I'll buy it.

Sorry!

My lunch break is almost over!

See ya!

I wonder if she's okay.

No experience necessary! Love your work and gain experience.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Umiko, and I will be your supervisor.

You'll be starting your part-time shifts today, and...

Wait.

We're missing someone.

Goodness.

Being tardy on the first day is unacceptable.

I'll have to see if I can fire her.

U-Um...

Over there.

I'm fired?

What's your name?

I-I'm Sakura Nene!

I'm sorry I'm late!

I'll overlook it today, so be punctual in the future.

O-Okay.

We make our game on this floor.

We have about three teams working right now.

I can't see Aocchi with all the walls.

Stop jumping!

This is the booth where you'll all be playing the game and debugging.

The game you'll be testing is Fairies Story 3.

Wow!

No way!

It's still unannounced,

so please keep confidential information within the company.

I already knew because Aocchi told me.

Something on your mind, Sakura-san?

N-No!

I didn't know anything!

That's the quick rundown.

Anyone have any questions?

Sakura-san, you look a little restless.

Oh, do I?

Could it be...

that you're a spy from another company?

I'm just a college student!

I'm sorry.

Well, whatever.

If anyone has any questions, let me know.

I'll be back to check up on you, as well.

Aocchi's company seems pretty strict.

I'm really worried for her.

I-I'm gonna go use the restroom.

Yeah.

The balance is a bit off here.

I see.

Nenecchi?

Why am I hiding?

What is she doing here?

Is it just a look-alike?

You okay?

She's coming this way!

These are super rare!

That's definitely Nenecchi.

Y-Yagami-san, did we get a new recruit?

I didn't hear anything.

Oh, did the part-time debuggers start today?

Yeah.

I think Umiko-chan's in charge of that.

I see.

Knowing Nenecchi,

she didn't tell me about it in order to surprise me.

But why would she work here just to surprise me?

What's going on with you?

I've made up my mind!

I-I see!

Understood!

I've found her.

And she hasn't noticed me.

Time to surprise her.

Sakura-san.

What are you doing here?

U-Um...

Why are you sneaking around the place without permission?

You must be a spy.

Come with me!

I-I'm going to get arrested.

Why isn't she coming?

Aocchi, help me!

Seriously?!

I see.

So she was your friend.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, as well.

You always make things complicated.

Why would we have a spy?

Why wouldn't we?

I joined here as a spy, at first.

What? Seriously?

It was a joke.

Hey, Aocchi.

Oh, sorry.

This is Toyama-san, the game's AD.

I'm Toyama Rin.

Nice to meet you, Sakura-san.

By AD, I don't mean assistant director.

Yeah, I know.

Art director, right?

A-Anyway, she's Yagami Ko-san, a character designer.

Hey, nice to meet you.

Yagami Ko?

The character designer for the Fairies series?

Nenecchi, stop!

It's the real deal!

Sakura-san.

I-I'm sorry.

Thank goodness I wasn't arrested.

It's nice I get paid to play an unannounced game.

This might be a great part-time job.

It froze again.

Jeez, how do I play the game when it freezes so much?

It's your job to report that!

Aocchi!

It's almost lunch break.

Want to eat lunch together?

Yay!

Let's go!

Oh, and let me introduce my coworkers.

U-Um...

I'm Sakura Nene.

Nice to meet you.

She was so rowdy earlier, but she's so timid.

Is she your kouhai, Aoba-chan?

See?

I told you that you look more childish.

You're just a bit taller than me!

Yes! That's right!

And that means?

They both look like kids.

Thank you for the meal.

I should've bought dessert.

Oh, I'll be right back.

My, my!

What's a spy doing here?

I-I'm not a spy!

Hazuki-san, you, too?

Hazuki-san?

Yeah.

She's the director of Fairies Story 3.

Th-Then she's the most important person!

If a spy were as cute as you,

I'd tell her every secret.

I know.

I'll take your picture for your ID card.

Come on, get closer.

You can't use that as your identification picture.

You don't need to say that.

No one's acting surprised despite our strange interaction.

A-Aocchi's company is so weird!

I'm back.

Ta-da, here you go!

Wow, those look delicious!

Can I really have some?

We got them as Obon gifts from one of our partners.

So we share them with everyone in the company.

They're in the fridge, so feel free to grab some for yourself.

This company is the best!

Every day, it's the same thing over and over.

Debugging is hard.

Sakura-san, were you slacking off just now?

N-No, not at all.

"???" ·The inn in Rupi Village was... ·The "Blade of Darkness" should have been called "Sword of Darkness" in 1... ·Using the Tome of Darkness while Conner-kun is present... ·Blue sapphire? Blue sapphire? ·The phrase that the soldier at Coldol Castle says was similar to Steng in game 2. ·The status of the imperial knights is similar to the AGI of the lightly-armored soldiers in game 1, is that OK? ·The name of the place that Bald said he was from was... ·Sophie-chan doesn't die?

U-Um...

Something wrong?

No.

If you notice anything, even the tiniest things,

please put them all on your report.

O-Okay.

Can't fight on an empty stomach, or something.

Hey, there's a pudding!
