Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon - Ch. 195 - Fafnir and the Early Copy

[jojoka]

I was skimming the Lucoa spinoff for reasons and saw a genderbent Fafnir there first. I wasn't expecting it to pop up here too lmao. I can't believe we got Fafussy before GTA6.

He popped up as a girl in the main story before as well to convince his roomies parents that he had a girlfriend.

Man I can't remember that, mind linking that?

 

[fight2live]

this conflict could've been easily solved if they just make Fafnir one of the beta testers

 

[Tarage]

Let the man be a tester. Nothing kills your desire to play a game like testing it.

I feel ya, Fafnir. Waiting a dozen or so years for a game is a slog. Especially when you don't live for an eternity.

I still head canon that Takiya and Fafnir are in an Asexual-Romantic relationship at this point. Neither seem all that interested in "sex", but they still clearly care about each other. Plus, they they have a son, so lol

I thought he turned into a goth loli type there, rather than a voluptuous type. Well, whatever. Fafnir is going to do Fafnir things.

He was turned into a goth loli in the Lucoa spin off, but he appeared in chapter 97 as a girl when Kobayashi's admitted she had feelings for Tohru but didn't quite understand love.

At first I thought curvy naked Faf was hot but as I realised it was Fafnir I then lost interest.

History will say they were roomates

I believe it was chapter 97 which is when Kobayashi was asking about love.

Looks like this might be Fafnirs ark.

His greed might've unveiled something big and could ruin something.

Pretty cool using his greed as a plot device as a character he's often more of a foil to Lucoa. He's a slave to his desire and she's unabashed to hers.

The Loki arc was intended to be Fafnir's arc according to Cool's comments at the end of volume 16. It still kinda is even though things like directly butting heads with Takiya and working through his dark past got dropped because he was pretty much already chill and playing games all by the time the arc started.

The "game" is probably a real world and they're just using magic and paid actors to make it feel like a game to the players.

I think they're connecting to Tohru's world and the game uses some kind of avatars

 

[TanyaTheEvil]

Thanks for the chapter and translation

 

[asteconn]

Wait wait wait wait...

Wait.

Why and how is R63 Fafnir legitimately so cute?

 

[akasection]

guys, this is why developers are doing Early Access 🙈

I think it might be too

A developer's pride... release a game at the right time... when properly finished. Tod Howard is laughing at you.

Someone has been hiding under a rock the last 20 years.

these visual effects don’t use any assets, they’re rendered on screen purely through code

Yeah that’s a shader those exist already, not magic

why is a game that’s supposedly still in development already finished?

Yeah that’s called the testing stage where you get a bunch of testers to find bugs
Neither of these things are abnormal in any way

The second one doesnt seem odd because its missing context. Takiya is a developer of the game, and he didn't know that they were in the testing phase. To his knowledge, they were still in development. Imagine you were working on a project with a bunch of people, you were halfway done, and then discover that they already had a fully working version of your project done while yall were still working on the game technically. It is hella odd and suspicious
