New Game! Episode 9

"Do We Have To Come Into Work?" (出勤しちゃいけないんですか？) is the ninth episode of the New Game! anime.

Synopsis
Rin comes down with a cold, so Ko decides to take her home and look after her. Meanwhile, Umiko hears from Nene and Aoba about how they are often worried about each other. Later, the character team decides to have a sleepover to get some extra work done, paying a visit to a public bathhouse in the middle of the night.

Plot
As Umiko inspects the debuggers work, she sees Nene attempt to catch a glimpse of an NPC's panties in-game. She claims it would be problematic if the NPC's did not have underwear. Umiko instructs her to report it as a bug; Shizuku steps in and states that it is a hidden feature, and proceeds to explain why. Though hesitant, Umiko decides to leave the 'feature' in-game, but asks Shizuku to make an internal note stating that it is intentional. Shizuku then states that Umiko is a bit shy regarding such topics, prompting her to shoot both Shizuku and Nene.

At the Character Team booth, Rin is seen with incessant coughing. Worried about her health, Ko leaves with Rin to watch over her. With their leaders gone, Hifumi becomes conscious of her seniority. As they continue their work, Hajime makes too much noise, causing Yun to lash out. They later talk about Ko's kindness towards Rin. Meanwhile, Rin arrives home completely worn out and covered in sweat. Ko suggests she gets changed, and looks for clothes.
