Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo-Chapter 885: I Should Buy One Too

"Look, he's playing the game in the boss's office!"

"My god, this is unbelievable, this guy is so lucky!"

"I think he just went out to run an errand for the boss, right?"

"He went to buy Final Fantasy VII Remake."

Outside Myron Case's office, a group of people watched as one of his employees was engrossed in playing a game. This quickly sparked curiosity among other employees, and they all started gathering around.

However, because the TV screen was facing away from them, they couldn't see the game's visuals.

"Huh?! What did you say? Final Fantasy VII Remake?"

"Yep, I was planning to play it after work."

"Oh my god, I want to play too! Why does this guy get to play Final Fantasy VII Remake right here?"

"If only I could switch places with him, I'd do anything!"

Once the crowd realized what game the employee was playing, their excitement grew even more.

Employees at Micfo, especially those in the tech sector, were often at the forefront of technology. Many of them had started their careers in electronics, programming, and software, all sparked by an interest in video games.

Some even once aspired to be game developers themselves.

However, as time passed and reality set in, they had to abandon their dreams of making games and focus on earning money.

Still, their enthusiasm for gaming remained strong.

At least half of them had played Final Fantasy VII at some point.

And now, nearly everyone who had played it was absolutely passionate about it.

They craned their necks, trying to catch a glimpse of the game screen in the office, not caring anymore about the fact that their boss was watching them.

Myron Case had always had a friendly reputation among his employees, which is why he could afford to casually observe the employee playing the game.

Myron Case also noticed this scene.

Looking through the glass wall of his office, seeing his employees so eager stirred something in him.

Was this the charm of video games?

At least so many of his employees had such a deep passion for video games.

Yet... he didn't feel anything about it.

He began to feel somewhat lost.

Those people looked so happy and joyful, all because they were playing a video game.

But he felt nothing. Was he really out of sync with this era?

No, his perspective was ahead of the times, in tune with the popular culture of this era.

It's just that video games weren't really his thing.

"You, come with me, bring the game console out here."

At that moment, the employee who had been playing Final Fantasy VII Remake reached the actual gameplay part. Cloud jumped off the train in stunning high-definition, facing soldiers from Shinra.

That familiar feeling returned, deeply moving the employee.

But as soon as he heard his boss's voice, he quickly snapped back to reality.

"Boss? What's going on...?"

"Didn't you see how many people outside are eager to see the game? Let them see it too."

Only then did the employee realize how many people were gathered outside the office, which surprised him.

At the same time, he felt excited.

So there were so many game lovers at the company, and it seemed like many of them also loved Final Fantasy VII.

He wasn't alone—perhaps he'd find more friends with similar interests!

"Alright!"

The employee quickly powered off the game console and unplugged it.

"Hey, hey, wait—did you just unplug it?"

"Oh no! The boss is going to be mad! Quick, get back to your workstations!"

The crowd became flustered, seeing Myron Case preparing to come out. They quickly ran back to their desks, sat down straight, trying to look busy.

Then, Myron Case and the employee walked out of the office together.

Myron Case silently scanned the employees in the office.

They looked like they were trying to get back to work, but he still noticed that some people were glancing over at him.

It wasn't because they were worried about being reprimanded.

They were still curious about his reaction as their boss.

"Alright, put down what you're working on," Myron Case said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the employees immediately stretched their necks out from their desks.

Some even stood up, staring at their boss.

"You guys probably aren't in the mood to work today. The release of Final Fantasy VII Remake has gotten you all excited, hasn't it?"

"Uh... Boss, I have to admit, I wanted to become a programmer because of Final Fantasy VII."

At that moment, one employee bravely stood up, raising his hand to sincerely share his thoughts.

"Boss, me too!"

Another employee stood up and raised his hand.

One, two, three.

Myron Case didn't say much. He just turned to look at the employee who had brought the game console out.

Then, he turned to the rest of the employees.

"All of you who want to watch the game, follow him to the broadcasting room and watch properly. I'll give you all a break today. I imagine, even if I didn't, you wouldn't want to work right now."

"Long live the boss!"

"Long live the boss!"

The employees cheered.

The charm of video games...

Watching them cheer, Myron Case was reminded of the reaction of players at the Gamestar Carnival last year.

They were so excited, it was as if they were experiencing the happiest moment of their lives. When they saw the confirmation for Final Fantasy VII Remake, they screamed so loudly, it felt like the entire carnival would collapse. That wasn't an exaggeration.

Being in that atmosphere, Myron Case had felt a bit out of place.

Now... he suddenly wanted to seriously play a game. He wanted to immerse himself in that atmosphere too.

It felt strange.

Even though he had disliked video games because of how they had impacted him in the past, and later looked down on them, seeing the enthusiasm of the people around him now, he couldn't help but feel tempted. He wanted to experience the same passion for games that they had.

It wasn't just about video games—it was about life, about the passion for the world.

So, at least from now on, he decided to try to fit in as much as he could.

He would enjoy video games properly.

He felt like he should buy a Gamestar console.
