Hyperdimension Neptunia The Animation: Dengeki Comic Anthology/Chapter 2

Synopsis

The CPUs and Histoire gather up for a meeting. Neptune asks about a new ghost lurking around Gamindustri. She then describes her first encounter with the ghost that happened yesterday by stating that she was heading home after buying a new game, and she started editing her character in the character customization screen. After spending a lot of time customizing her character and finally finishing it, she looks out her window and notices that it was already morning. While she didn't get to play the game as much, she then claims that it was the "Time Stealing Girl" doing her wicked thievery once again and asks the other CPUs if they had similar experiences.

Vert starts describing her experience by stating that it happened during her online fighting game session with her friends on the same day as Neptune. As she spent hours playing with other users online and improving her skills, it was already morning before she even noticed and also implies that her time was stolen by the ghost.

After Neptune mentioned that the "Time Stealing Girl" is trying to pick a fight with them, Noire describes her experience by stating that she was playing a detective game when suddenly, she became overly anxious. As she tried to find a good place to save, she unfortunately couldn't find a good save point at all and didn't stop playing until she finished the entire game, also claiming that the ghost stole her time.

Blanc becomes the last one to tell her encounter with the ghost by stating that she had to return an RPG she had borrowed from Neptune, while then deciding to finish the game on the same day. As she took over an hour to defeat the last boss, she took many tries to clear it due to how difficult it was. When morning arrived, she finally finishes the game and returns it to Neptune. Neptune later accuses the "Time Stealing Girl" for making the last boss so difficult.

After the CPUs told their experiences with the "Time Stealing Girl", Neptune warns them about the ghost frequently haunting random people in various locations and tells them to watch their time carefully. Histoire then asks them what time it is and reminds them that they were supposed to start work two hours ago while pointing at the time. As doesn't believe in their "ghost" stories, she then follows it up by mentioning that they were spending too much time playing games and sleeping really late and tells them stop making excuses.
