I'd be lying if I didn't find this chapter somewhat gripping around the middle. For the first time in a while, I'm curious to see where it'll head. The ending is very sweet as well.

I vibe with Kobayashi’s “This is probably heading somewhere bad, but I really need this job” mentality more than I’d like

Can someone explain the "grip" and sushi thing to me? Is it a reference to something in Japanese pop culture I'm too gaijin to understand?

Welcome to game development. Just remember: "The real game were the bugs we made along the way".

I believe it has to do with the skill Sushi chefs have to master to create the perfect ball of rice for each portion. And one that Tohru seems to misunderstand as a combat stance/magic spell... before serving store bought sushi (that doesn't require such a mystic hand gesture, because the portion was already made).

Kobayashi's MC sense is tingling.
Also an MMORPG VR? That's two curses is one.

 

[GreenDude1]

The dragon orb was the thing that kanna's fathers villain planned to use right?

 

[jackjack9]

Something extreme is about to happen.

 

[Cidolfas]

"For our first project we're making a VR MMO"

Yikes 😬

"Using literal magic!"

Oh, that's more believable.

 

[GK]

Tohru, don't think nobody noticed the state of your tail

Rather than pop culture, the basic classical sushi is nigiri sushi, and this nigiri is the same as in onigiri. It comes from nigiru, which is basically "to grip," and the process of making it is the same verb, so that is just the usual terminology for making sushi.

welp, Kobayashi was right on the money about getting dragged into schemes of the magic world

I see, thanks for the explanation.

As long as the game company isn't evil as EA, Kobayashi and the dragons can handle it.

Thanks for the chapter.
