@endoftheline More like cyborg snail kaiju, with a big gun.

I can just hear her screaming KORYAA!

I've said this before, but it's still true.

"They're all a bunch of PERVERTS!"
And some of them are chuuni as heck.

Why whatever would make you think they were perverts?...

Ashton Senefelder, I must say - teasing you never gets old.

Nor does Olivia's blank stare and happy smile as she misses the context of their conversation!

I must say, though - I'm impressed by Claryss' ability to blush on command, even if she is only using it to mess with Ashton and Claudia!

If you're already prone to blushing naturally, it's not too difficult. Though I say this as someone with skin so pale that I burst into flames whenever I find myself in direct sunlight, so take that as you will.

Presuming the white page is intentional, everything seems in order now.

That's telling him, Nanami and Kaori!
I completely understand his reaction. But sometimes retreat isn't the solution. Or it's someone else's call.

Having more context upon what happened way back when is nice.

Instant fame, and now tension in the group…

Interesting new fertilizer discovery here. Who knew garbage knights could make a tree grow so big.

@Arcene from memory of the LN, it isn't just so he's not caught up in celebration fuss. It's so the average adventurer will believe the information more readily. Information from the guild that a random person provided? Possibly true, but you only trust it so much because they're a nobody. Information from THE HERO? Well obviously that's completely correct, and you'd be a fool to ignore it.

@GeorgeMTO Yeah, that was my first thought, too. I felt like that led to a pretty significant moment.

Poor Yae. All love is unrequited. 8-)

@wanderer_1204 said in Fired? But I Maintain All the Software! (Manga) Vol 3 Discussion:

I don't understand why a programmer/engineer need to "learn" sales. Especially here. They can use AI's face and skill-srt to advertise but she needn't go through with a sales pitch herself.

She doesn't need to, but it's not a bad idea for her to learn what goes on in other areas of the business. And she may be needed to help sales in the future.

(Though I kinda wonder about their cash flows if, several months in, Ai still has so little to do. What are those salesmen doing?)

If Speyside wants to be friends with Aoi (and why would he not), why doesn't he invite all 3 into the private room with him and Foar?

Research cat needs to calm down before interacting with Aoi or talk to an intermediary (any of her other students) as a buffer. I hope this running joke doesn't go on forever because he wants to learn what she's teaching and maybe he has a perspective she doesn't, which is exactly what she's looking for.

And the mangaka made Alna’s horn look like a real ornament. The light novel version looked unambiguously like a horn iirc.

Was "Ailey" originally "Ai-chan" in Japanese?

It was "Aileen-chan."

@abernan Yeah, First chapter of this volume is numbered #32 and the second chapter is numbered #36.
