When it came to teaming up to play games, Utaha Kasumigaoka had initially refused. After all, she had been brutalized by a certain dumpling far too many times—so much so that she had once questioned whether fighting games and FPS games even needed to exist. Was it fun being utterly crushed by someone using just one hand, whether they had full health or a sliver left?
But after Utaha Kasumigaoka teamed up with Umaru for an online FPS game once, she awakened. So games were not merely about getting bullied—you could bully other people too, especially when pleas came through the headset: "God-tier player, no, please don't kill me.

Because of this, Sogo Doma had specifically asked, "Utaha, your new book..."

"Gathering material in games!" Utaha
