I frowned once again. To be honest, such cases aren’t all that rare. Why? Because although having eaten nothing in reality, having consumed something while inside a VRMMO means that you still feel full, and the feeling lasts for a few hours. Addicts, or those so-called hard-core gamers, tend to consider time outside gaming as time wasted, and cases where people don’t eat for 1 or 2 days really aren’t that rare. However, if such routines are consistent, it’d be impossible not to have negative repercussions on the body. A malnourished victim living alone having an attack... wasn’t a very rare case at all. Closing my eyes for a moment and after praying for Shigemura- shi to find happiness in the next world, I opened my mouth. “...while this is tragic, but...” “Indeed it’s depressing, but it is common these days. Because such an incident won’t appear on the news, and the family members won’t say much as they want to conceal the fact of dying from this way due to a game, we can’t seem to conduct any further investigations. In a way, such a death can also be seen as an invasion of VRMMOs, but... “ “...You wouldn’t normally call me out just to hear a surface theory right? What’s up with this case?” At my question, Kikuoka glanced at his terminal, and answered. “This Shigemura-kun installed only one game on his AmuSphere. «Gun Gale Online»... heard about it?” “That’s... obviously a given. Due to the fact that it’s the only VRMMO game in Japan with «Pro» playing; I haven’t played it myself, though.”
