[00:00] Alice
    Wake-key-key, wake-key-key.
[00:04] Alice
    Wake-key-key, Onii-chan!
[00:08] Protag
    Morning, Alice.
[00:10] Protag
    This is Alice.
[00:12] Protag
    She's my little sister who
    turns fourteen this year.
[00:16] Alice
    You seem so sweepy, Onii-chan.
[00:18] Alice
    This is what I'm going to
    do to you, sweepyhead.
[00:25] Alice
    Are you wakey-wakey now, Onii-chan?
[00:29] Alice
    Alice made today's bweakfast all by herself!
[00:32] Alice
    You need to come down before it gets cold!
[00:34] Protag
    Okay, got it.
[00:39] Protag
    I wash my face in the bathwater
    that my sister just used,
[00:42] Protag
    then wipe my face dry with my sister's
    bra, and head into the kitchen.
[00:46] Protag
    In the kitchen was Yoshiko,
    who should have died yesterday.
[00:49] Protag
    I was very surprised.
[00:52] Alice
    Come on, Onii-chan! Hurry up
    and sit down so you can eat!
[00:56] Protag
    Yeah. Let's dig in.
SIGN    I wuv you, Onii-chan
[00:59] Protag
    Today's breakfast is an omelet made from
    Alice's eggs, with a cup of Alice's milk.
[01:04] Protag
    It's so creamy and rich...
[01:05] ---
    The taste of my little sister
    spreads inside my mouth.
[01:08] Protag
    My little sister's freshly hatched
    eggs and freshly squeezed milk...
[01:11] Protag
    They're so good!
[01:13] Alice
    You silly-head. You have
    ketchup on your mouth.
[01:16] Alice
    What are we going to do
    with you, meowy meow?
[01:19] Protag
    Alice pulls some just-worn panties
    from a gate to a parallel world,
[01:21] Alice
    Wipey, wipey. Wipey, wipey.
[01:22] ---
    and wipes my mouth with it.
[01:24] Protag
    Ah, my little sister's hot,
    just-worn panties taste so good.
[01:30] Protag
    The fragrant panties and my sister's juices
    create the ultimate harmony, and the—
[01:34] Toki
    The fuck is this?!
[01:37] Itsuki
    Whoa! Where'd that come from?

    Don't "Where'd that come from?" me!

    Heh.

    Itsuki Hashima
    Novelist, 20 years old
[01:46] Itsuki
    I see you've been moved by my masterpiece.
[01:50] Toki
    You moron...
[01:54] Toki
    L-Let me just confirm, just in case...
[01:57] Toki
    This is supposed to be the second chapter
[02:00] Toki
    manuscript of The Scarlet Jäger, correct?
[02:02] Itsuki
    But of course.
[02:05] Toki
    Well, this is strange...
SIGN    The Scarlet Jäger (draft)
    The protagonist is shocked when the heroine, who died protecting him
    from a demon's attack at the end of chapter one, is having breakfast
    at the protagonist's house the next morning like nothing ever happened.
[02:07] Toki
    According to the plot,
     in the opening of chapter two,
[02:09] Toki
    the protagonist is shocked when the heroine,
[02:11] Toki
    who died protecting him from a demon's
    attack at the end of chapter one,
[02:15] ---
    is having breakfast at the protagonist's
    house the next morning
[02:18] ---
    like nothing ever happened...
[02:20] Itsuki
    See? It perfectly reflects the plot.
[02:23] Toki
    What part of this makes you say that?
[02:25] Itsuki
    Well, the protagonist is surprised, isn't he?
[02:27] Itsuki
    I mean, uh... that chick who was supposed
    to have died yesterday is there...
[02:30] Toki
    Her name is Yoshiko!
    Don't forget the main heroine's name!
[02:34] Toki
    I guess you did at least include it,
    even if it feels totally out of place...
[02:38] Itsuki
    Good grief. What am I supposed
    to do with an editor like you?
[02:42] Toki
    Don't make it sound like this is my fault.
[02:46] Toki
    But that's not the biggest problem here.
[02:48] Itsuki
    What?
[02:49] Toki
    Who the hell is this new
    character named Alice?
SIGN    Alice
SIGN    Who?
[02:53] Toki
    I didn't hear a thing
    about her being in this!
SIGN    The Scarlet Jäger (draft) Itsuki Hashima
[02:55] Itsuki
    She's the protagonist's younger sister.
SIGN    Protagonist
SIGN    The Scarlet Jäger (draft)
[02:57] Itsuki
    It's written right in the protagonist's
    bio that he has a little sister.
SIGN    Has a little sister
[03:01] Toki
    It was just a single sentence!
SIGN    Alice's just-worn panties
[03:03] Toki
    I thought she was just
    a secondary character!
[03:04] ---
    What the hell is this freakish monster?
[03:06] Itsuki
    You mean she's freakishly cute?
[03:08] Itsuki
    Yeah, I know.
[03:09] Toki
    No, you moron!
[03:10] Toki
    Not only would she be a strike-out
    for always being naked,
[03:13] ---
    but you had one preposterous visual
    after another that even outdid that,
[03:16] Toki
    and I can't even tell you which
    of them is the most fucked up!
[03:19] Toki
    Not to mention the protagonist
    was casually wiping his face
[03:22] ---
    with his sister's bra and then
    eating her damn panties...
[03:24] Toki
    He's a friggin' perv...
[03:26] Toki
    No, he's a complete ****** case!
[03:28] Toki
    Let me just confirm that you didn't
[03:30] ---
    accidentally type "panties"
    instead of some kind of food...
[03:33] Itsuki
    I'm insulted. Of course I'd never
    make a stupid typo like that.
[03:37] Toki
    And this thing about Alice's milk?
SIGN    Alice's milk:
SIGN    Milk from Alice's
     boobies.
    It tastes very rich.
[03:40] Itsuki
    Milk from Alice's boobies.
    It tastes very rich.
[03:44] Toki
    And Alice's eggs?
SIGN    Alice's eggs:
SIGN    Eggs that Alice laid.
     They're unbelievably
     delicious.
[03:45] Itsuki
    Eggs that Alice laid.
    They're unbelievably delicious.
[03:50] Toki
    Rejected.
[03:52] Itsuki
    Huh?
[03:53] Toki
    This is all rejected!
[03:54] Toki
    There's no way in hell we could publish this!
[03:56] Itsuki
    True. I might've gone a tiny bit
    too far with the milk and eggs.
[04:02] Itsuki
    But this is a story about psychic powers,
[04:04] ---
    so I thought some things that are just
    a tad out of the ordinary would work...
[04:07] Toki
    Just... a tad...?
[04:10] Itsuki
    It happens all the time.
[04:12] Itsuki
    Like when the protagonist's parent
    was some legendary adventurer,
[04:15] Itsuki
    or they're an heir to
    some ancient martial art
[04:17] ---
    and the protagonist
    inherited the skills...
[04:19] Toki
    Stop thinking some crazy psychopath
    setting where people lay eggs
[04:21] ---
    and eat panties is along the same lines
    as cliché battle manga settings!
[04:26] Itsuki
    B-But washing one's face with the
    bathwater your little sister just used
[04:30] ---
    is normal in households
    with little sisters, right?
[04:32] Toki
    Like hell it's normal! You're a freak
    with a serious sister complex!
SIGN    A Sister Is All You Need.
[06:08] Toki
    Anyway, I'm rejecting that manuscript.
[06:11] Toki
    I'm fine with you working on a new
    project, but I hope you're progressing
[06:14] ---
    with volume 5 of Mahou Academy.
[06:16] Toki
    The deadline for that is
    at the end of the month.
[06:18] Itsuki
    Yeah, I know.
[06:20] Toki
    You'd better not be lying.
[06:22] Itsuki
    I-I'm not. Leave it to me.
[06:30] Toki
    Honestly, his obsession with little
    sisters is a serious problem...
[06:34] Chihiro
    Oh, hello, Toki-san.
[06:37] Toki
    Oh. Hey, Chihiro-kun.
[06:40] [SONG] Sign
    Chihiro Hashima
    Itsuki's step-brother, 16 years old
[06:40] Chihiro
    Did you just have a meeting with my brother?
[06:42] Toki
    Yeah, we just finished up.
[06:45] Toki
    That looks heavy. Ingredients for dinner?
[06:48] Chihiro
    Yes. My brother has guests coming
    over, so I bought a bit extra.
[06:52] Toki
    You seem like a very
    reliable younger brother.
[06:55] Chihiro
    You're too kind.
[06:57] Chihiro
    Oh, please continue to look after my brother.
[07:01] Toki
    I will.
[07:03] Chihiro
    Well, if you'll excuse me.
[07:11] Toki
    If only Chihiro-kun were his younger sister,
[07:14] ---
    Itsuki probably wouldn't have ended
    up so obsessed with little sisters.
[07:17] Toki
    If only he had a little sister...
[07:20] Toki
    Then again, he probably wouldn't have
    become an author if that were the case.
[07:25] Toki
    Talk about complicated.

    Hey.
[07:41] Chihiro
    I ran into Toki-san on my way here.
[07:44] Itsuki
    Ah...
[07:45] Chihiro
    Did the meeting go well?
[07:47] Itsuki
    O-Of course.
[07:54] Itsuki
    What are you making tonight?
[07:55] Chihiro
    Probably paella or stir-fried

    Hey, something smells good.
[08:13] Chihiro
    Hello, Fuwa-san.
[08:15] Haruto
    Hey, Chihiro-kun. I brought a gift.
[08:19] ---
    Could I put it in the fridge?
[08:21] Chihiro
    Oh, go right ahead.
[08:25] Itsuki
    This is my apartment, you know.
[08:28] Haruto
    Don't worry about it.
SIGN    Little Sister
[08:32] Haruto
    So, how's your new series going?
[08:34] Haruto
    The first ever Itsuki Hashima book where
    the main heroine isn't the little sister.
[08:38] Itsuki
    That was canceled.
[08:39] Haruto
    Really? But the proposal
    seemed pretty good.
SIGN    School Hallway
SIGN    Afternoon
SIGN    It's okay if it's you, Onii-chan...
[08:43] Itsuki
    My works depend on the heroine
    being the little sister.
[08:48] Itsuki
    Must be Kanikou and Miyako.
SIGN    Nayuta Kani
    Novelist, 18 years old
SIGN    Miyako Shirakawa
    College student, 20 years old
[08:54] Nayuta
    Good evening, Senpai! Let's have sex!
[08:57] Miyako
    Nayu! What are you saying?!
[09:01] Nayuta
    It's just a casual greeting, Myaa-san.
[09:03] Itsuki
    How is that even a greeting?
[09:06] ---
    Hurry up and come inside.
[09:07] Chihiro
    Oh, good evening, Kani-san and Miyako-san.
[09:11] Nayuta
    Good evening, Chihiro-kun.
[09:13] Nayuta
    You can call me Onee-chan at any time.
[09:16] Chihiro
    I will not.
[09:17] Nayuta
    But when Itsuki-senpai and I get married,
[09:20] ---
    you're going to be my brother-in-law...
[09:22] Chihiro
    I will not.
[09:22] Itsuki
    We're not!
SIGN    Little Sister
[09:25] Nayuta
    What? Your new project's been canceled?
[09:29] Itsuki
    Well, these things happen.
[09:30] Nayuta
    But it was so interesting...
[09:33] Nayuta
    But that means the only person
    in the world who got to read it,
[09:36] ---
    other than your editor, was me, right?
[09:38] Itsuki
    No. I had Haruto and the others read it, too.
[09:41] Nayuta
    Meow?!
[09:42] Haruto
    Oh, yeah.
[09:44] Miyako
    I read it, too.
[09:46] Nayuta
    I can't believe there were others.
[09:48] Nayuta
    That manuscript is such a slut.
[09:50] Itsuki
    Did you just call the manuscript a slut?
SIGN    Little Sister
[09:54] Itsuki
    Chihiro, how much longer
    do you think it'll be?
[09:58] Chihiro
    Probably thirty minutes.
[09:59] Nayuta
    Well then, Senpai, let's kill
    some time by making out.
[10:03] Itsuki
    I decline!
[10:05] Haruto
    Why don't we play a casual game?
[10:07] Itsuki
    Good idea.
[10:09] Nayuta
    Get a clue, Prince Manwhre.
[10:12] Itsuki
    You're the one who needs
    to get a clue, you fool.
[10:15] Haruto
    More importantly, could you stop
    calling me that, Nayu-chan?
SIGN    Cat & Chocolate
[10:19] Itsuki
    So, what do you wanna play?
[10:22] Haruto
    Something easy that we don't
    need to spend time setting up.
[10:26] Haruto
    Oh, how about turtle soup?
[10:28] Itsuki
    Are you thinking straight?
[10:30] Nayuta
    It's to be expected from Prince Manwh
re.
[10:32] ---
    Do you like dicks that much?
[10:35] Miyako
    Turtles? What's that?
SIGN    Turtle Soup
[10:37] Haruto
    Turtle soup.
[10:39] ---
    It's officially known as
SIGN    Lateral Thinking Puzzles
[10:41] ---
    "lateral thinking puzzles," though.
[10:45] Haruto
    First, the master talks about
    a mysterious incident.
SIGN    A man eats turtle soup at a restaurant.
SIGN    After he leaves the restaurant,
    he kills himself with a pistol.
[10:48] Haruto
    The other players ask yes or no
    questions in regards to the mystery
SIGN    Did the soup have poison in it?
SIGN    Was this the first time he had the soup?
[10:53] Haruto
    and try to solve it.
[10:56] Miyako
    Wow, that seems pretty interesting.
[10:58] Haruto
    When writers drink together,
[11:00] ---
    we often think up questions
    on the spot to play this game.
[11:04] Haruto
    It's a great way to train your creativity.
[11:06] Itsuki
    Also, if your incident is
    too shitty, you get told,
[11:09] ---
    "You're no writer," or "Start
    over from your newcomer award."
[11:14] Miyako
    That sounds kinda difficult.
[11:16] Itsuki
    All right... Then as an example,
    I will come up with
[11:19] ---
    a magnificent problem for you to solve!
[11:24] Nayuta
    Y-You can start at any time, Senpai!
[11:26] Itsuki
    Stop talking like that!
SIGN    Little Sister
[11:30] Itsuki
    All right, here we go.
[11:33] Itsuki
    A man got married.
[11:35] Itsuki
    However, she was a perfect uggo,
[11:38] ---
    who was ugly both inside and out,
    without a single good quality.
[11:42] Itsuki
    But the man lived his life without
    making a single complaint.
[11:47] Itsuki
    Why was that?
[11:49] Nayuta
    Because she was a little sister, right?
[11:49] Haruto
    Because she was a little sister.
[11:49] Miyako
    Is it because she was a little sister?
[11:53] Itsuki
    I-Impossible... How could you get it
    right without asking a single question?
[11:57] Haruto
    It was a shitty example that didn't
    even give us an opportunity to object,
[12:00] Haruto
    but the phrase "she was a
    perfect uggo" was pretty good,
[12:04] Haruto
    so I won't go so far as to
    insult your personality.
[12:07] Nayuta
    Senpai's examples being
    complete trash is nothing new.
[12:10] Miyako
    They're always like this?
SIGN    Little Sister
[12:14] Haruto
    All right, I'll come up with one next.
[12:16] Haruto
    A novelist completely misses a deadline.
SIGN    Deadline
[12:20] Haruto
    However, not only does he not get in trouble,
SIGN    Publisher
[12:22] ---
    but his editors actually thank him.
[12:25] Haruto
    Why is that?
[12:27] Itsuki
    He was thanked for missing his deadline?
[12:31] Nayuta
    Um... Isn't that just your
    fantasy, Prince Manwhre?
[12:35] Haruto
    No.
[12:37] Nayuta
    Does this story take place in modern Japan?
[12:39] Haruto
    Yes.
[12:40] Itsuki
    That's a lie!
[12:41] Itsuki
    There's no way something that wonderful
[12:43] ---
    would happen in modern Japan,
    where the rotten publishing world
[12:47] ---
    never shuts up about keeping deadlines,
    regardless of our situations!
[12:49] Itsuki
    Haruto, if you're a true novelist,
    you should know that better than anyone!
[12:52] Haruto
    Well, I've never broken a deadline, so...
[12:56] Itsuki
    You traitor!
[12:58] Nayuta
    You've popped plenty of cherries,
    but you won't break a few deadlines?
[13:02] Haruto
    I'm telling you, I'm not a manwh
re.
[13:04] Itsuki
    The more one regrets being unable
    to protect those they love,
[13:07] ---
    the stronger and kinder they become...
[13:09] Haruto
    You've never regretted or
    felt sorry for a single thing.
[13:12] Nayuta
    Do you think you can break out
[13:14] ---
    of your shell when you can't
    even break a few deadlines?
[13:17] Haruto
    B-Break through... my own shell?
[13:20] Both
    Yup, yup.
[13:22] Haruto
    S-Stop trying to lure me down
    the path of scum, you two.
[13:26] Haruto
    More importantly, think about
    an answer to the story!
[13:29] Itsuki
    Okay, here's a question.
    Was the novelist a little sister?
SIGN    Was the novelist a little sister?
SIGN    Little
    Sister
[13:33] Haruto
    No!
[13:34] Itsuki
    Impossible... She's not even a little sister,
    and they let her slide on the deadline?
[13:37] Miyako
    Er, he already said the novelist was
    a "he" when he told us the story.
[13:41] Itsuki
    Oh, right...
[13:42] Itsuki
    Then does the novelist have a little sister?
SIGN    Does the novelist have a little sister?
[13:45] Haruto
    Unknown. He may have one or he might not.
[13:48] Itsuki
    Since it's unknown, I guess
    that's not an important factor.
[13:53] Miyako
    Um... Is the novelist popular?
SIGN    Is the novelist popular?
[13:56] Haruto
    Unknown.
[13:57] Miyako
    Then is he a novelist that
    isn't popular at all?
SIGN    Is he a novelist that isn't popular at all?
[14:00] Haruto
    Unknown.
[14:02] Nayuta
    That's also unknown? Then...
[14:04] Nayuta
    Do parts of the novelist's profile,
    such as how much he makes
SIGN    Does the novelist's profile have
    anything to do with the incident?
[14:07] ---
    or what his family's like,
    have anything to do with it?
[14:10] Haruto
    No.
[14:11] Nayuta
    No?
[14:13] Itsuki
    So the novelist's background
    has nothing to do with it.
[14:15] Itsuki
    Then should we be concentrating
    on the editorial staff?
[14:18] Haruto
    Oh, you're on the right track.
[14:20] Nayuta
    Oh, I get it.
[14:22] Nayuta
    Um, was the editorial staff facing
    some kind of dangerous situation?
[14:26] Haruto
    Yes.
[14:27] Itsuki
    Was the editorial staff saved from this
    crisis by the novelist missing his deadline?
[14:32] Haruto
    Yes.
[14:33] Itsuki
    All right!
[14:34] Miyako
    But what kind of crisis could be
    remedied by missing a deadline?
[14:40] Itsuki
    Missing... a deadline...
[14:42] Itsuki
    Deadline... Coming to a close...
[14:45] Itsuki
    Haruto, could you give us
    the story in detail again?
[14:50] Haruto
    Okay.
[14:51] Haruto
    A novelist completely misses a deadline.
SIGN    A novelist completely misses a deadline.
    However, not only does he not get in trouble,
    but his editors actually thank him. Why is that?
[14:54] Haruto
    However, not only does he not get in trouble,
[14:56] ---
    but his editors actually thank him.
[15:00] Haruto
    Why is that?
[15:01] Itsuki
    Was that a deadline for a project?
[15:05] Haruto
    No.
[15:06] Miyako
    Huh? What does that mean?
[15:08] Itsuki
    Did you figure it out, too, Kanikou?
[15:10] Nayuta
    Yes!
[15:11] Miyako
    Huh?
[15:12] Itsuki
    Did the novelist physically break a deadline?
SIGN    Did the novelist physically
    break a deadline?
[15:16] Haruto
    Yes.
[15:17] Nayuta
    Was the editorial office completely closed
    until the novelist broke the deadline?
SIGN    Was the editorial office completely closed?
[15:22] Haruto

    was all of the editorial staff in a
    situation where they couldn't move?
[15:28] Haruto
    Yes... You've basically figured it out.
[15:33] Itsuki
    I've completely solved the mystery.
[15:35] Itsuki
    This is what happened...
[15:37] Itsuki
    The editorial office had its door
    and windows completely closed,
[15:42] Itsuki
    so all of the staff had passed
    out from CO2 poisoning.
[15:46] Itsuki
    That's when the novelist who had come to
    the office noticed something was wrong,
[15:50] Itsuki
    broke through a window or another entrance,
    and saved the editorial staff's lives.
[15:54] Itsuki
    And he was greatly thanked.
[15:57] Itsuki
    In Japanese, the word for "deadline"
    can also mean to be closed.
SIGN    Shimekiri Deadline, Closed 1: To finish with something. It can also refer to the date to finish something. 2: To leave doors or windows closed. Also refers to the place that has its doors and windows closed.
[16:02] Itsuki
    In this case, the word didn't mean
    the deadline of a manuscript,
[16:05] ---
    but the editorial staff room that
    was completely closed off.
[16:08] Haruto
    You're correct. Congratulations.
[16:10] Miyako
    Wow, good job, Itsuki.
[16:14] Itsuki
    A problem like that is nothing
    to someone like me.

    You're amazing, Senpai!
[16:19] Nayuta
    Now, go ahead and break through my
    nasty little closed-off spot, too.
[16:23] Itsuki
    I decline!
[16:24] Nayuta
    Aw...

[16:32] Haruto
    Well, anyway...
[16:35] All
    Cheers!
[16:38] Haruto
    So good.
[16:39] Itsuki
    Hey, this is really good.
[16:41] Itsuki
    It's on the sweet side, but with
    the right amount of bitterness.

    It goes down easy, but it's
    a bit strong, so be careful.

    This is really good.
[16:49] Miyako
    You made all of this, right, Chihiro-kun?
[16:51] Chihiro
    Oh, yes. I did.
[16:54] Itsuki
    You should learn how to cook, too, Kanikou.
[16:57] Nayuta
    You say that, but you can't
    even cook yourself, Senpai.
[17:03] Itsuki
    Well...
[17:04] Itsuki
    If I had a little sister like
[17:06] ---
    the Goddess Kobato from Haganai,
    or the Goddess Komachi from Oregairu,
[17:08] Itsuki
    I'd seriously try to learn how to cook, too.
[17:10] Nayuta
    I see your obsession with little
    sisters never changes, Senpai.
[17:13] Nayuta
    Then how about the slightly meaner
    ones, like Kirino-chan from Oreimo?
[17:17] Itsuki
    Rather than make the Goddess Kirino happy,
    I'd rather have her yell at me and say,
[17:21] ---
    "You can't even cook? You're such
    a worthless piece of trash."

    You're sick...

    I'd have zero complaints.

    All she ever does is complain
    about everything I do,

    plus she's quick to hit me, tells me
    that my books are gross or boring,
[17:04] Haruto
    and tells me that my interviews
    are annoying or gross...
[17:07] Haruto
    It's really depressing.

    You fool! Don't compare your little
    sister-shaped filth with my little sister!

SIGN    Kasuka Sekigahara (Light novel author) Critique
    
    Honorable Mention: "The Spirit Knight of the Distant Sea" by Haruto Fuwa
    This book lacks personality and makes me feel that it's a piece I've read many
    times before... Actually, I'd probably call it a "product" rather than a "piece."
    
    And to think it's been entered to be considered for the newcomer award...
    You can tell that the author has researched the current trends; what he wrote
    is extremely efficient, and it is written better than similar books out there
    right now. Though it lacks any distinguishing features, it's already at a level
    that it can be published, and it'll probably sell (picking my nose).
SIGN    lacks personality...
SIGN    "product" rather than a "piece."

SIGN    Honorable Mention: "Sister of the Apocalypse" by Itsuki Hashima
    This piece is so full of personality, and both the characters and
    the way the story develops are insane. A perfect contrast to the other
    honorable mention. It's rough around the edges and there are a lot of
    problems... Honestly, I'm not even sure if we should release this to
    the masses, but it's got some mysterious appeal to it.
    This is definitely something only this author could write, and I'm
    extremely curious to see how he develops as an author from here on.
    I'm probably the only one out of the judges to say this, but I think the
    best thing to come out of this newcomer award is the fact that we found
    this author.

    Huh? Are you going to try

    Yeah, I know, right?

    Though, when I showed it to my editor,

[13:02] Setsuna
    But, Sensei, how's a fish supposed

[13:06] Setsuna
    I saw something about salmon

    Sharks are fish, but the eggs are

    Actually, this might be good
    enough to serve at a restaurant.

    If I remember correctly, he used
    chocolate as a secret ingredient.
[07:16] Itsuki
    I think he said something about polyphenols

[07:24] Itsuki
    Shit! It's the editor! Run!
[07:28] Toki
    You seem to be... having a good time.
[07:32] Itsuki
    Um... Well, you seem a bit tired...
[07:36] Toki
    I chased Puriketsu all the way to Hokkaido,
[07:40] ---
    and trapped him in a local hotel for a
    week, until he finished the illustrations.
[07:45] Itsuki
    What a bloodbath...
[07:46] Toki
    Itsuki! We're well past your deadline, too!
[07:51] ---
    You know what'll happen if you
    delay things anymore, right?
[07:55] Itsuki
    Yes...

    Hello, Kani-sensei and Fuwa-sensei.

    Ah, I see. I'm Itsuki's editor, Toki.
    It's nice to meet you.
[08:12] Itsuki
    So, what did you want?

    I'm not done with the manuscript.

    Don't take that tone with me, you fool.

[08:32] Haruto
    Good for you...
[08:33] Miyako
    But Fuwa-san's series have
    sold more volumes, right?
[08:37] Haruto
    Itsuki's series has quite a few female fans.
[08:40] Itsuki
    I'm so popular right now, I feel
    like I could save the world.
[08:45] Haruto
    Though, if we're being honest,
[08:47] ---
    they're chocolates for your
    character, not you.
[08:50] Nayuta
    Exactly!
[08:51] ---
    I'm the only one in this world who
    loves Itsuki-senpai himself, after all.
[08:56] Itsuki
    Say what you will, you losers.
[08:59] Itsuki
    Now, then... Let us feast upon
    the offerings from my followers.
[09:13] Nayuta
    You're treating those chocolates
    so differently from mine...
[09:28] Toki
    There are plenty of readers
    looking forward to your series.

    Don't you dare betray them.
[09:38] Itsuki
    I know.
SIGN    A special beer that is brewed by Sankt Gallen Brewery every year around Valentine's Day. It doesn't actually have any chocolate or cacao in it, but by roasting the malt at a high temperature, they're able to make it resemble the taste of chocolate. It's a bit more rich and delicious than regular stout. It has 9% alcohol. (We drew the bottle big in this episode, but they actually only sell them in 330ml bottles, so we apologize.)
[09:46] Itsuki
    Oh, it's you, Miyako.
[09:49] Itsuki
    Sorry, but I'm expecting a guest today.
[09:52] Miyako
    Oh, your editor from the other day?
[09:54] Itsuki
    No, a tax accountant.

    An author is basically self-employed.

    Let's get started, shall we?

    May I see your payment
    records from the publisher?
[11:33] Itsuki
    Oh, sure.
[11:44] Ashley
    Please, have a seat.
[11:46] Itsuki
    Oh, sure...
[11:50] Ashley
    You even have all of your

    You're far more organized than I expected.

    Uh, thanks...

    By the way,

    No, at my parents'.
[12:02] Ashley
    That'll work to our advantage.

    Don't be ridiculous...
[12:15] Ashley
    I'm kidding.

    Unlike other jobs, authors don't

    but authors don't have most of those expenses.
[12:32] Itsuki
    There probably aren't many other jobs
[12:34] Itsuki
    that cost as little as being an author.
[12:38] Ashley
    Basically, seeing how many things
    we can add as legitimate expenses
[12:42] ---
    is how an accountant proves their worth.
[12:45] Ashley
    You've counted all these
    books as expenses, right?
[12:47] Itsuki
    Yes.
[12:48] Ashley
    What about things other than books?
[12:50] Itsuki
    Well, I've just been writing off
    things that I bought for research.
[12:54] Ashley
    I see. So you're a good boy.
[12:56] Ashley
    And I love nothing more than to lead good
    little boys like you down the path of evil.
[13:00] Itsuki
    Huh?
[13:01] Ashley
    Oh, nothing.
[13:03] Ashley
    I took the liberty of doing some
    research on your works.
[13:07] Ashley
    It seems you like little sisters?
[13:12] Itsuki
    I love them!
[13:13] Ashley
    Oh?
[13:15] Ashley
    I think I've seen this one somewhere before.
[13:17] Itsuki
    That would be the main heroine of Oreimo,
[13:19] ---
    as well as the protagonist's little
    sister, the goddess Kirino Kousaka.
[13:22] Itsuki
    The goddess Kirino must be famous,
    if even an accountant knows of her.
[13:26] Ashley
    And who are these two obscene-looking lolis?
[13:29] Itsuki
    The main heroines of
    Haganai: I don't have many friends.
[13:32] ---
    The protagonist's little sister,
    the goddess Kobato Hasegawa,
[13:34] ---
    and the goddess Maria Takayama.
[13:35] Ashley
    These lolis are the main heroines?
    Is the author some lolicon?
[13:39] Itsuki
    Without a doubt.
[13:41] Ashley
    What about the girl next to them?
[13:42] Itsuki
    The main heroine of Oregairu and
    the protagonist's little sister,
[13:45] ---
    the goddess Komachi Hikigaya.
[13:47] Ashley
    Another little sister...
[13:50] Ashley
    Are all the figures you have
    displayed here little sisters?
[13:53] Itsuki
    Yes.
[13:55] Ashley
    Then there shouldn't be an issue with
    counting them all as research material.
[13:58] Itsuki
    No! They were bought solely so
    I could admire their beauty!
[14:02] Itsuki
    I don't want to categorize them in
    such a crude manner as "materials"!
[14:07] Ashley
    Materials it is.
[14:09] Itsuki
    N-No...
[14:10] Ashley
    Don't you want to lower your taxes at all?
[14:13] Itsuki
    I... do... but I cannot
    sully the little sisters...
[14:19] Ashley
    If you count them as expenses,
[14:21] ---
    you'll be able to buy new little sister
    figures with the money you get back.
[14:24] Itsuki
    These figures are indeed research materials.
[14:27] Itsuki

[14:47] Itsuki
    It's a game where the little sister

    mbates every day wearing

    The Beautiful Sister Wife Getting

?
[15:01] Itsuki

    A game about a sister wife who gets
    absorbed in a forbidden relationship.
[15:05] Ashley
    And what is a sister wife in this case?
[15:07] Itsuki
    The protagonist's younger
    sister who is also his wife.
[15:12] Ashley
    That seems rather complicated.
[15:14] Ashley
    Let's see...
[15:16] Ashley
    Big Brother's Counter Attack~
[15:17] ---
    One Year since Little Sister Was
    Killed by a Giant Ant Eater
.
[15:21] Itsuki
    That was a bullshit game. The little
    sister never even showed up.
[15:24] Ashley
    It says she died right in the title.
[15:27] Ashley
    And this F°ck-a-Sis?
[15:29] Itsuki
    It's a game where you
    fck your little sister.
[15:31] Itsuki
    The ending moved me to tears.
[15:33] Ashley
    It's Not Strange for a Little Sister
    to Eat Big Brother's F°°ces, Right?

    I might have bought some magic gems...

    Magic gems?
[16:12] Itsuki
    It's currency to buy loot boxes
    on a social network game.
[16:18] Ashley
    And what kind of game are you playing?
[16:20] Itsuki
    Legion of Little Sisters.
[16:22] Ashley
    I can imagine exactly what kind
    of game it is just from the title.
[16:25] Itsuki
    Whatever you're thinking,
    it's probably correct.
[16:28] Itsuki
    Would the gems count as expenses, too?
[16:31] Ashley
    Are you using that game for your work?
[16:35] Itsuki
    No, not at all.
[16:36] Ashley
    Then start using it for your work.
[16:38] Itsuki
    Huh?
[16:40] Ashley
    Have the protagonist say
    this in your new volume...
[16:45] Ashley
    "The likelihood that I'm
    going to survive is low."
[16:48] Sieg
    If I had to compare it to something,
[16:49] ---
    it'd be like getting an*
    ultra-rare item in a loot box!
[16:52] Ashley
    Make it so the protagonist is
    hooked on social network games.
[16:55] Itsuki
    That ruins everything!
[16:56] Ashley
    Then it doesn't have to be the protagonist.
[16:58] ---
    Wasn't there some villain who
    was after the protagonist?
[17:03] Chrom
    Little sisters are nothing more than tools.
[17:05] Chrom
    The only things I'm serious about are
    fighting you and buying loot boxes
[17:09] ---
    in social network games.
[17:10] Itsuki
    You just changed the
    character we're ruining!
[17:13] ---
    How meaningless is this guy's life?!
[17:16] Itsuki
    And it's making the protagonist
    look lame just by association!
[17:19] Ashley
    Destroying the character just
    a little bit won't hurt.
[17:21] Itsuki
    Yes, it will!
[17:22] Ashley
    Which is more important to you:
[17:24] Ashley
    reducing your taxes or
    how perfect your work is?
[17:26] Itsuki
    How perfect my work is!
[17:28] Ashley
    Honestly... This is the
    problem with you authors.
[17:32] Itsuki
    You're making it sound
    like this is my fault...
[17:35] Ashley
    I guess I don't have a choice.
[17:37] Ashley
    I'll figure out a reason for the
    social network game expenses somehow.
[17:41] Itsuki
    Just do that to begin with if it's possible!

[18:49] Ashley
    I had some fun with Itsuki-kun's, as well,
[18:52] Ashley
    but it was nothing compared to yours.
[18:54] Itsuki
    What did she do to you?
[18:56] Haruto
    She made me explain the plots of
    adult games and adult manga...
[18:59] Itsuki
    She did the same to me.
[19:02] Ashley
    Well, with Haruto-kun...

    They always seem to end
    up in maid outfits, too.
[19:34] Haruto
    I think it's every man's fantasy to have

[00:14] Tokuyama
    Okay, so...
[00:15] Tokuyama
    Today, we wanted to have
    the two of you meet,
[00:18] Tokuyama
    so if you have any questions
    or anything, please go ahead.
[00:26] Itsuki
    Hey. Is this girl who looks like she stepped
    out of some mansion really going to be
[00:31] ---
    drawing the manga version of my book?
[00:32] Itsuki
    There are some pretty pervy scenes in it...
[00:34] Toki
    Don't worry.
[00:38] Tokuyama
    Here are the character designs
    and sample pages we had her do.
[00:52] Kaiko
    Um... What do you think?
[00:54] Itsuki
    They're absolutely amazing!
[00:55] Kaiko
    R-Really?
[00:57] Itsuki
    Yes!
[00:58] Kaiko
    Thank you so much!
[01:00] Kaiko
    I've been in love with your
    work ever since your debut,
[01:03] ---
    so I was thrilled to be
    offered this opportunity.
[01:06] Itsuki
    Seriously?
[01:07] Kaiko
    Yes!
[01:08] Kaiko
    I'm an only child,
[01:10] ---
    but I've always dreamed of having
    a younger girl look up to me.
[01:15] Kaiko
    So when I started reading works
    with characters like that,
[01:18] ---
    I became a little sister
    enthusiast before I knew it.
[01:21] Itsuki
    I-It was like that for me, too.
[01:23] Kaiko
    In particular, I truly admire the love for
    little sisters that shows in your works.
[01:29] Kaiko
    The description of Hilde-san's toes in the
    scene where she's walking up the stairs
[01:33] ---
    barefoot in Mahou Academy
    volume 4 was just...
[01:35] Itsuki
    You actually brought up that scene?
[01:37] Itsuki
    I definitely worked really
    hard on that scene!
[01:40] Kaiko
    I sense genuine love in your works
[01:42] ---
    that you can't find in other little
    sister series that are just trying
[01:45] ---
    to go along with the trends!
[01:47] Itsuki
    I know, right?
[01:49] ---
    By the way, are there any other little
    sister characters you like right now?
[01:52] Kaiko
    Well, this is cliché, but from Eroma—
SIGN    Little Sister
[01:56] Itsuki
    I've made up my mind, Kaiko Mikuniyama-san.
[01:59] Itsuki
    I can tell that my work will
    be in good hands with you.
[02:03] Kaiko
    I'm honored, Hashima-san.
[02:04] Kaiko
    I'll do my absolute best so
    that I won't let you down!
SIGN    A Sister Is All You Need.
[03:40] Haruto
    Let's see, there's Itsuki's and my new volumes,
[03:43] Haruto
    Mahou Academy getting a manga version,

    The Spirit Knight of the Distant Sea
    anime about to air,
[03:47] Haruto
    Miyako-chan and Chihiro-kun moving
    to their next year in school...
[03:52] Haruto
    Was there anything else
    that we're celebrating?
[03:54] Nayuta
    Itsuki-senpai's and my marriage!
[03:56] Itsuki
    Are you stupid?
[03:57] Haruto
    All right. Well, in honor
    of various things... Cheers!
[04:01] All
    Cheers!
SIGN    Episode 6
SIGN    Having Your Media Developments Go Well Is All You Need.
[04:13] Haruto
    Now Itsuki's finally had his work
    developed into other media.
[04:15] Haruto
    I hope the manga turns out great.
[04:17] Itsuki
    There's no need to worry. I'm positive
    it'll become an amazing manga.
[04:21] Nayuta
    You sound quite certain.
    Is the manga artist that amazing?
[04:26] Itsuki
    Yes! Not only is her art amazing,
[04:29] ---
    but her love for little sisters rivals my own.
[04:31] Itsuki
    No one other than Kaiko-san can have
    such a deep understanding of my work.
[04:36] Itsuki
    She was definitely meant for me!
[04:39] Nayuta
    The manga artist is a girl?
[04:43] Itsuki
    Yeah.
[04:46] Nayuta
    Meant for you...
[04:47] Itsuki
    D-Don't get the wrong idea!
[04:49] ---
    What I'm saying is that she was meant
    to make the manga version of my work!
[04:53] Nayuta
    So that must mean I'm the one
    meant for you after all, Senpai!
[04:56] Itsuki
    How do you come to that conclusion?
[04:58] Nayuta
    Well, because no one in the
    world loves you as much as I do.
[05:04] Itsuki
    You can't even spend a full day
    talking about little sisters,
[05:07] ---
    so suggesting that you're
    meant for me is laughable.
[05:11] Nayuta
    True, I can't keep up with your
    little sister talk, but...
[05:15] Nayuta
    I'll make up for it with love!
[05:18] Itsuki
    Hey! Get off of me, you idiot!
[05:19] Nayuta
    Senpai!
[05:20] Haruto
    Why are you here?
[05:22] Ashley
    Itsuki-kun let me know that the
    sake had arrived and invited me.
[05:26] Ashley
    Let's forget about what happened in our past,
[05:29] Ashley
    and have some fun today.
[05:31] Haruto
    Please don't make it sound like something
    actually happened between us in the past!
[05:36] Haruto
    I only asked you to work on
    my final return last year...
[05:39] Ashley
    Oh, is that so?
[05:44] Ashley
    Anyway, all of this food is delicious.
[05:47] Ashley
    Is it homemade?
[05:49] Chihiro
    Oh, yes. I made all the dishes.
[05:54] Ashley
    That's impressive,
    considering how young you are.
[05:56] Ashley
    Why don't you come work
    part-time at my place?
[05:59] Chihiro
    Huh?
[06:00] Ashley
    I've been looking for someone who can cook.
[06:02] Ashley
    You're definitely qualified for the job.
[06:05] Chihiro
    Um... Please let me think on it.
[06:11] Toki
    That sure hits the spot
    after two all-nighters!
[06:14] Miyako
    Wait, you haven't been home in two days?
[06:17] Toki
    Having to stay overnight at the
    office is pretty normal for editors.
[06:21] Miyako
    Really? It must be rough being an editor.
[06:25] Toki
    I definitely won't deny that.
[06:27] Toki
    I have an irregular lifestyle, my job uses me,
[06:30] Toki
    my author won't write his damn manuscript,
    and my illustrator runs off on me...
[06:38] Toki
    But, well...
[06:40] Toki
    It's definitely a job that's worth doing.
[06:43] Toki
    I think the joy that I feel
    when a new book comes out
[06:45] ---
    is equal to that of the author's.
[06:52] Toki
    Hey, you, Itsuki!
[06:53] Toki
    You can do it if you try, so why don't
    you just try in the first place?!
[06:57] Itsuki
    Huh? Shut up, you idiot!
[06:59] Itsuki
    I can't do my best unless
    I'm feeling pressured!
[07:02] Toki
    Then I'll make sure your schedule is
    so full that you'll always be pressured!
[07:06] Itsuki
    Huh? You can't be serious,
    you sex-worker-obsessed freak!
[07:09] Toki
    What's wrong with sex workers?
[07:11] ---
    Then I'll just have to show you
    the glory of sex workers...
[07:20] Setsuna
    Guess Sensei's not home... Oh, well.
[07:28] Itsuki
    Nyanpasu...
[07:33] Chihiro
    I'm going to get some water and
    Pocari from my brother's place.
[07:36] Nayuta
    It's getting dark, so be careful of gropers.
[07:40] Chihiro
    I-I'm fine! I'm a guy, after all.
[07:46] Setsuna
    I wonder if I can find
    some kind of hideaway...
[07:52] Setsuna
    Oh, how cute.
[07:57] Setsuna
    L-Look at that ass go!
[07:59] Setsuna
    That's the kind of godly ass you only see once
    every hundred, no, every thousand years!
[08:03] Setsuna
    If I'm looking at that ass, I think I can reach
    the next dimension as an illustrator!
[08:08] Setsuna
    H-Hey, wait a sec!
[08:12] Chihiro
    Me?
[08:13] Setsuna
    Yes! Yes, you!
[08:15] Chihiro
    Can I help you?
[08:16] Setsuna
    Could you show me your ass?
[08:22] Chihiro
    Huh?
[08:22] Setsuna
    Your ass! Your butt!
[08:24] ---
    I want you to show me your butt.
[08:26] Chihiro
    Wh-What are you talking about?!
[08:28] Setsuna
    I'll never ask for anything again!
[08:30] Chihiro
    N-No! You can't be serious!
[08:32] Setsuna
    But I am! I've never been more
    serious in my entire life!
[08:36] Chihiro
    And I told you no!
[08:37] Setsuna
    P-Please wait!
[08:39] Setsuna
    I'll do anything!
[08:40] Chihiro
    Get away from me, you weirdo!
[08:43] Setsuna
    Ass!
[08:51] Setsuna
    I don't care about this piece of cloth!
[08:56] Setsuna
    J-Just one more layer...
[09:00] Chihiro
    That's enough!
[09:06] Chihiro
    What's your problem?!
[09:09] Setsuna
    A-Ass...
SIGN    Little Sister
[09:18] Ashley
    Well, today was fun.
[09:20] Ashley
    Hopefully we'll be able to enjoy the
    cherry blossoms together next year, too.
[09:25] Haruto
    Could you not say something that
    sounds so much like a death flag?
[09:28] Haruto
    You never know what's going
    to happen in an author's life.
[09:33] Itsuki
    Well, I'll be fine.
[09:35] ---

    Oh, thanks.

    Oh, there's roast beef and such in the
    fridge, so please, help yourselves.
[10:15] Haruto
    Thanks, Chihiro-kun.
[10:17] Chihiro
    No problem. I'll be watching
    the anime from home, as well.
[10:22] Haruto
    You've got such a dependable brother.
[10:25] ---
    I really want to trade my little sister for him.
[10:27] Itsuki
    I could never trade Chihiro with the
    beast that you call a little sister.
[10:31] Haruto
    Beast? Hey! Other than her personality,
    my little sister is basically perfect...

    Huh? What do you mean you're having
    a screening at your friend's house?
[10:40] (Flashback) Little sister
    But I wanted to watch it with you...
[10:43] (Flashback) Little sister
    Never mind! Ugh, forget you!
[10:46] (Flashback) ---
    You stupid, stupid, super stupid brother!
    I hope you die a million times!
[10:49] (Flashback) Little sister
    Don't ever come home again!
[10:53] Haruto
    Yeah, you know, personality
    is everything. Never mind.
[10:58] Haruto
    Anyway, we still have a lot of time,
    so why don't we play a game?
[11:02] Nayuta
    Good idea.
[11:03] Miyako
    What are we going to play?
[11:04] Haruto
    Let's see... Something we can
    play lightly while drinking...
[11:09] Haruto
    Oh. What about Cat &
    Chocolate: Blooming Days?
[11:12] Miyako
    What kind of game is that?
[11:14] Haruto
    It's a fun party game
[11:16] ---
    where the players solve a
    certain problem that happens
[11:20] ---
    with corresponding number item
    cards they have in their hand.
[11:24] Haruto
    The other players judge by majority vote
[11:26] ---
    whether the problem was solved or not.
[11:28] Miyako
    That sounds pretty hard.
[11:31] Haruto
    You'll get the idea once we play.
[11:34] Haruto
    As for who's going to go first...
[11:36] ---
    Let's start off with the person who
    enjoyed their school life the most.
[11:39] Itsuki
    I'm not proud of this,
    but I had no friends in school.
[11:43] Nayuta
    I became a shut-in because I was bullied.
[11:45] Haruto
    The club I joined fell apart
[11:47] ---
    because of personal relationship
    drama between the members...
[11:49] Miyako
    Writers are so...
[11:52] Miyako
    I'm actually somewhat
    enjoying my university life.
[11:56] Haruto
    Then let's start with
    Miyako-chan and go clockwise.
[11:59] Miyako
    Okay, sure.
[12:00] Miyako
    So I just have to solve the
    problem with these items...
SIGN    I forgot my bathing suit.
[12:05] Miyako
    Let's see... "I forgot my bathing suit."
[12:09] Miyako
    Isn't the only choice you have
    for this to just sit out?
[12:12] Nayuta
    You have to use the items that
    you have in your hand to solve it.
[12:16] Miyako
    What?
[12:17] Miyako
    With two items?
[12:22] Miyako
    Then, first, I'd change into my gym clothes.

[12:34] Itsuki
    Who do you think I am?
[12:37] Miyako
    Yeah, I guess it would end up like that.
[12:40] Nayuta
    How about this?
SIGN    Answering
[12:42] Nayuta
    All right. Then why don't we just
    play soccer in the pool today?
[12:46] Nayuta
    Shirakawa, you are to participate naked.
[12:49] Miyako
    Sure thing, Sensei!
[12:51] Miyako
    Take that!
[12:54] Miyako
    Why?!
[12:56] Haruto
    That's a bit much...
[12:58] Haruto
    Why don't we start the judging?
[12:59] Haruto
    Ready, and...
[13:03] Miyako
    What should I have done, then?
SIGN    Little Sister
[13:07] Itsuki
    All right. I'm up next.
SIGN    I accidentally called my teacher "Mom," and it's awkward!
[13:09] Itsuki
    "I accidentally called my teacher
    'Mom,' and it's awkward."
[13:14] Haruto
    That's pretty embarrassing.
[13:15] Nayuta
    As a high school student,
    that'd be pretty fatal.
[13:18] Itsuki
    Well, my mom died when
    I was in middle school,
[13:22] Itsuki
    so if it were a female teacher,
    she might've reminded me of her...
[13:27] Haruto
    Huh? Oh, uh... I'm sorry.
[13:31] Nayuta
    Sorry...
[13:33] Itsuki
    D-Don't worry about it!

    Then I'll use this!

    Y-Yeah, that's super funny!
[13:48] Nayuta
    Y-Yeah... You're amazing, Senpai!
[13:51] Miyako
    Yeah, I think that's perfectly fine.

    As for the judging...

    Okay, I guess I'm up next.
SIGN    Little Sister
SIGN    I can't fix my bedhead.
[14:02] Haruto
    "I can't fix my bedhead," and I have
    to solve this with three items.
[14:05] Miyako
    You'd be able to fix it in no time
    if you had my hair products card.
[14:09] Haruto
    Part of this game is not having items
    you need when you actually need them.
[14:14] Haruto
    All right. I'll go with this.
SIGN    Headband
[14:16] Haruto
    First, I'll put on a headband.
SIGN    Answering
[14:18] Miyako
    I see! Then you'll be able

    And then... some killifish.
[14:23] Miyako
    Huh? Killifish?
SIGN    Answering
[14:25] Haruto
    I'll put the fish bowl with
    the killifish on my head

[14:30] Haruto
    And then, lastly... a guitar!

    no one will notice my bedhead.

    Yeah, they'll just think you went crazy!
[14:43] Haruto
    But I've solved the bedhead problem!
    So, what's the verdict?
[14:50] Miyako
    Huh? How is that okay?!
[14:53] Itsuki
    Well, it was pretty funny to imagine.
[14:55] Nayuta
    Yup.

[15:17] [SONG] Sign
    Moped

    What are you going to do with these?
[15:20] Nayuta
    First, I'm going to swing
    the dumbbells around
[15:23] ---
    and break all of the windows
    that aren't broken yet.
[15:27] Nayuta
    Shatter, shatter...
[15:29] ---
    The windows shatter, one after
    another, with a satisfying sound...
[15:33] Nayuta
    A teacher comes to stop me,
[15:35] ---
    but I spray the teacher in the
    face with the fire extinguisher,
[15:39] Nayuta
    and while they're wincing, I'll smack
    them with the dumbbell to shut them up.
[15:42] Miyako
    Uh... Nayu?
[15:45] Nayuta
    I'll continue to destroy the
    remaining windows and walls
[15:48] ---
    with the empty fire extinguisher and
    blood-covered dumbbells until I'm satisfied,
[15:51] Nayuta
    then I'll ride the moped through the halls, destroying the school even more.
[15:55] Nayuta
    Break! Break! Break!
[15:58] Nayuta
    The school just needs to be destroyed!
[16:00] ---
    All those bastards who
    wouldn't help me should die!
[16:04] Itsuki
    Calm down, Kanikou!
[16:07] Nayuta
    Oh, sorry. I guess I switched
    into some weird mode there.
[16:13] Haruto
    All right, what's the verdict?
[16:18] Nayuta
    Senpai!
[16:20] Nayuta
    You're the only person
    who understands me!

    I love you so much, Senpai!

    You're the only one who'd save me!

    I refuse!

[16:40] Miyako
    It really makes you use your

[16:47] Itsuki
    Well? Do you guys want to play another round?
[16:49] Haruto
    Actually, I think the anime's about to start.
[16:51] Itsuki

    Now I'm getting nervous, too.

    You're the creator.
    Haven't you seen it already?

    I got the white box copy yesterday,

[19:05] Haruto
    They were already using animatics at
    the recording session for episode 1,
[19:07] Haruto
    and we were still having
    script meetings last month.
[19:10] Haruto
    The other reason I didn't watch
    the white box version
[19:12] ---
    was because I was also a little scared.
[19:16] Haruto
    And I worked so hard...
[19:21] Haruto
    Anyway, that's done and over with.
    Let's get back to drinking.
[19:31] Haruto
    This beer is so good!
[19:34] Haruto
    It's really good...
[19:37] Itsuki
    U-Um... I don't know what
    I should say, but...
[19:40] Itsuki
    W-We aren't writing to make anime!
[19:44] Itsuki
    We're writing novels!
[19:46] Itsuki
    So, you know... Don't worry about the
    anime, even if it looks like that...
[19:50] Itsuki
    I guess that's not possible.
[19:52] Haruto
    Yeah...
[19:54] Haruto
    I'm just going to forget about the
    anime and concentrate on my story...
[19:58] Haruto
    If I could actually do that,
    it'd be a lot easier.
[20:02] Miyako
    Fuwa-san...
[20:04] Haruto
    You know... I basically think of
    my novel as a commercial product.
[20:09] Haruto
    I wrote it, researching what kind of
    developments and characters were popular,
[20:12] ---
    and gained success commercially.
[20:15] Haruto
    So no matter what some
    opinionated readers may say,
[20:19] Haruto
    or if anonymous trolls say
    that my work is generic
[20:21] ---
    or that my books only sell because
    of the art, I don't really care.
[20:25] Haruto
    I don't feel a thing.
[20:28] Haruto
    Like hell that's true!
[20:30] Haruto
    I love them...
[20:32] Haruto
    Stories with swords and magic,
    filled with adventures!
[20:35] Haruto
    Stories where the beautiful girl is popular.
[20:37] Haruto
    Stories where people who try
    their best are rewarded.
[20:40] Haruto
    Stories where the nice guy ends up happy...
[20:43] Haruto
    That's why I wanted to write that.
[20:46] Haruto
    It's not some commercial product.
[20:49] Haruto
    I love it, God damn it!
[20:51] Haruto
    I absolutely love it...
[20:53] Haruto
    How else could I have written
    thirteen volumes of it, you bastards?!
[20:57] Haruto
    To you guys, this might just
    be another option out of many,
[21:01] ---
    but to me, there's nothing else
    like it, and it's dear to my heart.
[21:05] Haruto
    Why can't you guys understand that?! Shit!
[21:07] Haruto
    Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!
[21:19] Haruto
    Huh? Wait... Wh-Why are
    you crying, Miyako-chan?
[21:23] Itsuki
    Yeah, seriously. Why are you crying?
[21:25] Itsuki
    You're not even an author.
[21:27] Miyako
    Well, I might not be an author,
[21:30] ---
    and I don't know how it feels to have
    my own books become an anime!
[21:34] Miyako
    I don't... but... but...

    But even I can understand how sad it'd
    be if something I worked so hard on

[21:53] Haruto
    I'm going home. I don't want you guys to
    keep seeing how pathetic I am right now.
[21:58] Itsuki
    Okay.
[22:05] Haruto
    Thanks, Miyako-chan.
[22:11] Miyako
    I wonder if Fuwa-san is okay...
[22:14] Itsuki
    Who knows? I mean, it's not like
    this doesn't affect me, too.

    Yeah. These kinds of failures dealing with

    At this rate, you won't be
    able to sleep at an inn.
[07:56] Chihiro
    That means we have to make some money.
[08:00] Miyako
    How do you make money?
[08:03] Haruto
    If you go to the pub, you can find some jobs.
[08:06] Haruto
    Or you could go to some ruins
    and find treasure chests,
[08:08] ---
    or defeat monsters and
    exchange materials for money.
[08:11] Itsuki
    All right, let's go to some ruins.
[08:13] Sen
    But I think we have a better chance
    at getting money by working.

    Let's think about what we're going to do now.
[12:54] Miyako
    I don't want to hear that from you!
[12:56] Silvia
    Pardon me.
[12:59] Itsuki
    Who the hell are you?
[13:01] Silvia
    I am Silvia, the princess of this kingdom.
[13:05] Silvia
    I have a favor to ask of you adventurers.
[13:10] Silvia
    If you will do this for me,
    I will promise your release.
[13:15] Sen
    I guess we have no choice but
    to hear what she has to say.
SIGN    Princess
[13:20] Nayuta
    I see.
[13:21] ---
    So we have to deliver a letter to
    a sage living deep in the forest.
[13:24] Nayuta
    It's basically an errand side quest.
[13:27] Itsuki
    No, Haruto's novels will usually
[13:30] ---
    make something look really light
    and then completely turn the tables.
[13:33] Itsuki
    I'm sure there's something more to this.
[13:35] Itsuki
    For example, the princess is actually a villain,
    the sage is an evil wizard,
[13:41] ---
    and we've been chosen as sacrifices
    to revive some evil deity.
[13:44] Haruto
    You there. Stop trying to predict
    what's going to happen.
SIGN    Goblins have appeared!
[13:51] Itsuki
    We've got company!
[13:53] Chihiro
    Are goblins powerful in this world?
[13:55] Haruto
    Could someone use their
    wisdom to figure that out?
[13:59] Miyako
    I'll do it, since mine is the highest.
[14:04] Haruto
    Success.
[14:06] Haruto
    Goblins are some of the weakest monsters.
[14:09] ---
    You should have no problem defeating them.
[14:12] Haruto
    They're weak against fire.
[14:14] Nayuta
    Then let's rip them apart!
[14:20] Miyako
    Fireball!
[14:29] Haruto
    After defeating the goblins,
    you continue further into the forest
[14:32] Haruto
    and spot a beautiful lake.
[14:36] Nayuta
    Since there's a lake in front of us,
    I guess we'll go for a swim!
[14:40] Itsuki
    Can we heal if we take a breather here?
[14:44] Haruto
    Yup.
[14:45] Miyako
    Then let's rest.
[14:48] Chihiro
    Is it really going to be okay?
[14:50] ---
    It'll be fine.
[14:51] Nayuta
    What could be dangerous
    about such a pretty lake?
SIGN    Bliss
[14:57] Itsuki
    In shark thrillers and monster movies,
    the first ones to die
[15:00] ---
    are usually the beautiful,
    unsuspecting girls in bikinis.
[15:05] Chihiro
    In the TRPG replays I've read,
[15:08] ---
    something bad always happens
    when the girls are showering.
[15:14] Haruto
    Those are probably TRPGs
    based on the Cthulhu mythos.
[15:18] Haruto
    You're basically guaranteed fanservice
    scenes, gore, and horror in that world.
[15:23] Haruto
    This game is a peaceful fantasy,
    so nothing that dangerous will happen.
[15:27] Itsuki
    Are you sure about that?
[15:28] Haruto
    Then why don't you use your
    intuition and roll the dice?
[15:31] Haruto
    I think you can sense if there's
    going to be any danger or not.
[15:41] Haruto
    It doesn't seem like there's
    anything dangerous.
[15:43] Nayuta
    All right. It's time to get into the water.
[15:46] Nayuta
    Let's all strip naked!
[15:49] Miyako
    Well, I guess it's fine as long as it's safe.
[15:51] Chihiro
    I-I have to strip, too?
[15:53] Nayuta
    There's no need to be embarrassed.
    We're all sisters.
[15:58] Chihiro
    Okay...
[15:59] Itsuki
    Don't do anything weird.
SIGN    Flirt
SIGN    Gagagia
[16:12] Haruto
    And that's when it happened!
[16:13] Miyako
    Huh?
SIGN    Gagagia
[16:18] Chihiro
    I told you so!
SIGN    Gagagia
[16:22] Haruto
    The creature that rises from
    the water is the Roper,
[16:24] ---
    which has multiple tentacles
    growing from its cylindrical body.
[16:29] Nayuta
    I'm not going to lose to any tentacles!
[16:33] Nayuta
    Oh, no. Don't.
[16:37] Nayuta
    You can't go in there.
SIGN    Gagagia
SIGN    Gagagia
[16:40] Chihiro
    I don't have my knives.
    What are we going to do?
[16:42] Miyako
    I might be able to do
    something with my magic.
[16:44] Miyako
    Energy Bolt!
SIGN    Gagagia
[17:01] Miyako
    I can't defeat it on my own!
[17:05] Itsuki
    Looks like it's time for me
    to use the ace up my sleeve!
[17:08] Miyako
    Huh?
[17:09] Itsuki
    Unlimited Bla— I mean...
[17:12] Itsuki
    I'll use my Phantom Smith
    to reproduce a long sword!
[17:27] Chihiro
    Thanks, Nee-san!
[17:28] Chihiro
    But why'd you cut me loose first?
[17:34] Itsuki
    An older sister is always supposed
    to protect her little sister first.
[17:38] Chihiro
    N-Nee-san!
[17:40] Nayuta
    Hello? I'm your little sister, too.
[17:43] Itsuki
    You were happy about this situation!
[17:46] Chihiro
    I'll save you right away, Death Mask-san!
[17:57] Itsuki
    All right. That's enough tentacle play!
SIGN    Lewd
[18:04] Haruto
    Something unexpected happened,
[18:06] ---
    but now you can really take a breather.
[18:09] Haruto
    Thank goodness.
[18:11] Itsuki
    You have no shame, you tentacle lover.
[18:16] Itsuki
    So this is the mansion where the sage lives.
[18:18] Nayuta
    This is definitely some heretic's mansion.
[18:21] Sen
    There are probably traps.
[18:24] Miyako
    But we can't deliver the
    letter unless we go in.
[18:27] Nayuta
    What's written in the letter?
[18:30] Itsuki
    Silvia said to make sure
    not to open the envelope—
[18:32] Nayuta
    Let's open it!
[18:34] Itsuki
    Good point.
[18:37] Haruto
    This is what's written in the letter.
[18:40] Haruto
    "I'm delivering four young girls to you
     as sacrifices. Please accept them."
[18:44] Itsuki
    This is exactly what I said would happen!
[18:47] Chihiro
    So what should we do?
[18:49] Miyako
    There's no reason to go in, knowing
    we're just going to be sacrificed.
[18:54] Nayuta
    You're right.
[18:56] Nayuta
    Then let's just burn the
    mansion to the ground.
[18:59] Miyako
    Huh?
SIGN    Currently strengthening her ability.
[19:13] Mage
    Curses... We were so close.
[19:17] Mage
    It looks like I'll have
    to deal with you myself—
[19:18] Miyako
    Take that.
[19:21] Itsuki
    Princess Silvia!
[19:23] Itsuki
    We've put a stop to your evil plans
    to revive the evil deity
[19:28] ---
    so you could take the throne!
[19:30] Silvia
    I was careless to think I was just
    dealing with newbie adventurers.
[19:34] Silvia
    I'll just have to eliminate all of you!
[19:42] Nayuta
    I'll destroy that illusion!
[19:45] Silvia
    Curses... But I have more than magic—
[19:48] Itsuki
    Roper's tentacles!
[19:52] Silvia
    Wh-What is this?
[19:55] Itsuki
    I can reproduce any weapon.
[19:58] Itsuki
    Monster tentacles are no exception!
[20:01] Silvia
    Let go of me!
[20:03] Silvia
    Please! Let me go!
[20:05] Silvia
    Get out of there!
[20:06] Silvia
    N-No!
[20:08] Nayuta
    Come on, Myaa-oneesama!
    This is our chance to power you up.
[20:12] Miyako
    Again?
SIGN    I did a bad thing.
[20:14] Haruto
    And so the four sisters
[20:17] ---
    stopped the conspiracy
    that troubled the kingdom.
[20:21] Haruto
    That concludes this adventure.
[20:23] Haruto
    Good work, everyone.
[20:29] All
    Good work, everyone!
[20:31] Miyako
    Nayu gave me a hard time,
    but TRPGs are really fun.
[20:35] Chihiro
    Yes. I'd like to play one again.
[20:37] Haruto
    I'm happy to hear that.
[20:39] Nayuta
    I regret not being able to have sex
     with Itsuki-senpai even once,
[20:43] ---
    so I'll try even harder next time.
[20:45] Itsuki
    Well, don't.
[20:48] Haruto
    Okay, I'll think about our next session.
[20:51] Chihiro
    I'm looking forward to it.
[20:52] Miyako
    Nayu, you need to learn more self-respect.
[20:55] Nayuta
    Oh, come on. Your body doesn't lie, Myaa-san.
[21:03] Haruto
    Thanks for this, Itsuki.
[21:05] Itsuki
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[21:07] Haruto
    This game session was to cheer me up, right?
[21:11] Itsuki
    D-Don't get the wrong idea!
[21:13] ---
    I just had the sudden urge to try a TRPG.
[21:17] Haruto
    I see.
[21:20] Haruto
    You know...
[21:23] Haruto
    It's a lot of fun creating something,
SIGN    The Hero and
    the Dragon
[21:26] ---
    and it makes me happy when someone enjoys it.
[21:33] Haruto
    I'm sure it's the same for those people.
[21:36] Haruto
    There were some rough times,
    and in the end, it didn't work out...
[21:41] Haruto
    But the fact that we all worked
    so hard wasn't a waste.
[21:46] Haruto
    I think.
[21:50] Haruto
    So I shouldn't be stopping here, right?
[21:57] Itsuki
    I see.
[22:00] Haruto
    Yeah.

[02:36] Miyako
    "Don't worry about it"? Are you kidding me?!
[02:39] Miyako
    Ugh!
[02:41] Haruto
    All right. I'm going to ask
    her out in the near future.
[02:44] Haruto
    And then I'm going to be happy!
[02:46] Itsuki
    Wow, you're pretty fired up.
[02:49] Haruto
    My anime's a complete failure, and I'm
    pretty sure I've hit rock bottom right now.
[02:53] Haruto
    So the only way to go from here is up.
[02:58] Itsuki
    Well, do your best. I'll help you out, too.
[03:02] Itsuki
    Or so I said... but what am I supposed to do?
[03:08] Nayuta
    By the way, Senpai...
[03:09] Itsuki
    Huh?
[03:10] Nayuta
    I want to have a surprise party.
[03:13] Itsuki
    Surprise?
[03:14] Nayuta
    April 29th is Myaa-san's birthday,
    so I want to celebrate it.
[03:20] Itsuki
    Huh... And you want to use my place?
[03:23] ---
    Yep.
[03:24] Nayuta
    A birthday, huh?
[03:26] Itsuki
    It might be a chance for
    Haruto to make his move.
[03:30] Itsuki
    Yeah, that's fine.
    I'll contact Haruto and Chihiro, too.
[03:33] Nayuta
    Now I just need a present.
[03:36] Nayuta
    Senpai, please give me some advice.
[03:38] Itsuki
    Why are you asking me?
[03:40] Nayuta
    I never had any friends to
    celebrate birthdays with, so...
[03:44] Itsuki
    I-I see... But that goes for me, too.
[03:49] Nayuta
    But you write romantic comedies, Senpai.
[03:53] Itsuki
    Well, the girls in my
    stories are easy to please.
[03:54] Itsuki
    They'd be happy if the protagonist
    gave them anything,
[03:57] ---
    even if it's literally shit.
[04:00] Itsuki
    I don't know what girls
    actually like in real life.
[04:02] Nayuta
    I'd be happy to receive
    shit from you, too, Senpai.
[04:06] Itsuki
    You need to realize that anyone who
    gives you shit actually hates you!
[04:09] Nayuta
    "She'd be happy with me giving her shit?
[04:11] ---
    I wonder just how much she loves me,
    squee." Wouldn't you feel like that?
[04:16] Itsuki
    No!
[04:17] Nayuta
    Even if it was a little sister?
[04:19] Itsuki
    I would never give my little sister shit!
[04:23] Itsuki
    Actually, I'd want to receive
    shit from my little sister.
[04:29] Itsuki
    Why are we talking about shit
    when we're eating curry?
[04:32] Nayuta
    Because you brought it up first, Senpai.

    What, Kanikou? Are you jealous?

[07:45] Nayuta
    Yup!
[07:49] Miyako
    What's on this?
[07:51] Nayuta
    A novel.
[07:53] Miyako
    A novel?
[07:54] Nayuta
    Yes. I wrote a novel with you
    as the main character.
[07:58] Itsuki
    What?!
[07:58] Miyako
    A novel where I'm the main character?
[08:01] Haruto
    I'm sure if the editors found out,
    they'd do whatever they could to get it.
[08:04] Itsuki
    Hey! Let me read it, too!
[08:06] nayuta
    Nope. This is something that I wrote
    for Myaa-san and Myaa-san alone.
[08:12] Miyako
    Thanks, Nayu. I look forward to reading it.
[08:16] Nayuta
    Yup!
SIGN    Outou no Shizuku
[08:19] Nayuta
    By the way, Myaa-san...
[08:21] Nayuta
    How does it feel to be 21?
[08:24] Miyako
    How does it feel? Well...
[08:27] Miyako
    I thought I'd feel more grown
    up in my twenties, I guess?
[08:31] Both
    Ah...
[08:33] Itsuki
    I think I thought the same exact
    thing when I turned twenty.
[08:37] Haruto
    Yeah, me, too.
[08:38] Chihiro
    You felt that way, too, Fuwa-san?
[08:41] Haruto
    I mean, I still read books
    and play games every day,
[08:44] ---
    just like I was when I was in school.
[08:47] Miyako
    But both you and Itsuki have become
    independent and are actually working.
[08:51] Miyako
    And as far as that goes, I'm still...
[08:58] Haruto
    Miyako-chan?
[09:02] Miyako
    A long time ago, I thought being
    twenty made you really mature...
[09:07] Miyako
    Like I'd already have my
    goal set for the future,
[09:09] ---
    and I'd be working hard toward that goal.
[09:12] Miyako
    And I thought I'd be in love.
[09:16] Nayuta
    But you're a sophisticated woman
    who's had plenty of relationships.
[09:22] Miyako
    I'm sorry. That was a lie.
[09:25] Nayuta
    Huh?
[09:26] Miyako
    I lied about having a lot of
    experience and relationships.
[09:29] Miyako
    In truth, I've never even been on a date.
[09:32] Nayuta
    Huh?
[09:34] Miyako
    I'm sorry... I'm not the kind of
    mature woman that you'd look up to.
[09:41] Nayuta
    Myaa-san...
[09:43] Miyako
    I'm sorry for lying.
[09:45] ---
    Do you hate me now?
[09:48] Nayuta
    I could never hate you!
[09:52] Nayuta
    The reason I love you
[09:55] ---
    isn't because you're a slutty, mature woman.
[09:59] Nayuta
    It's because you're genuinely a good person.

    You can if you want.
[10:27] Miyako
    Huh?
[10:29] Nayuta
    I wouldn't mind you kissing me, Myaa-san.
[10:34] Miyako
    Well, I'm not going to.
    Your lips belong to Itsuki, don't they?
[10:39] Nayuta
    You're exactly right.

    Uh, no one said that you
    could make them mine.

    It's not completely fantasy or a

[12:16] Miyako
    Either way, I couldn't stop reading it...
[12:32] Miyako
    I guess Nayu really is amazing.

SIGN    A beer created by Abishiri Beer Co. that uses Abishiri cherries. Its charm is the fruity sweetness from the cherries, and its refreshing aroma. Its color is a nice pink hue, so it's beautiful to look at, as well. It has 5% alcohol. By the way, there isn't any deep meaning behind Haruto having Miyako drink cherry beer (according to him).
[12:59] Haruto
    Hey.
[12:59] Itsuki
    Huh?
[13:00] Haruto
    Do you remember that thing you said
    you'd help me with a couple weeks ago?
[13:04] Itsuki
    Oh... You mean Miyako?
[13:07] Haruto
    Yeah, that.
[13:08] Itsuki
    Right. And?
[13:10] Haruto
    Well, I was sort of counting on you.
[13:13] Itsuki
    Counting on me?
[13:14] Haruto
    The birthday party.
[13:16] ---
    I thought you might nonchalantly
    try to help me in some way.
[13:21] Itsuki
    I forgot.
[13:23] Haruto
    That's what I thought.
[13:25] Haruto
    And then Miyako-chan and Nayu-chan
    ended up in a total yuri situation...
[13:30] Itsuki
    That itself got me pretty excited.
[13:33] Itsuki
    Well, I'll help you out next time.
[13:37] Haruto
    Yeah, I'm counting on you.
[13:39] Itsuki
    Yup.
[13:40] Itsuki
    By the way...
[13:42] Itsuki
    How am I supposed to help, exactly?
[13:46] Haruto
    Exactly?
[13:47] Haruto
    I thought you'd be an expert,
    since you write rom-coms.
[13:50] Itsuki
    What do you guys think rom-coms are?
[13:58] Itsuki
    All right. Let's go to
    an amusement park.
[14:00] Haruto
    A-Amusement park?
[14:02] Itsuki
    The volume I'm writing now has
[14:04] ---
    a scene with an amusement park,
    so I'll go there for research.
[14:07] Itsuki
    It'll be me, you, Miyako, and Kanikou.
[14:10] Haruto
    I get it. So basically a double
    date at an amusement park.
[14:13] Itsuki
    I-It's not a date!
    I'm only going for research!
SIGN    Little Sister
[14:28] Itsuki

    Well, it is Golden Week.

[14:34] Nayuta
    I did, too.
[14:35] Haruto
    You sort of forget what day of the
    week it is in this line of work.
[14:38] Miyako
    It really is a weird industry.
SIGN    Little Sister
[14:50] Miyako
    You look excited, Nayu.
[14:52] Nayuta
    Yes! I haven't been to a place
    like this since I was little!
[14:56] Miyako
    Really? Then why don't we start with
    something you want to do, Nayu?
[15:01] Nayuta
    Thanks, Myaa-san!
[15:03] Nayuta
    In that case...
[15:10] Itsuki
    "Super high speeds exceeding
    300 kilometers per hour"...
[15:13] Itsuki
    "An exciting race filled
    with speed and thrills"...
[15:20] Itsuki
    Say, Kanikou. Why don't we rethink this?
[15:22] Nayuta
    Oh? Do you not handle thrill rides very well?
[15:26] Itsuki
    It's not that I don't handle them
    well. I've never been on one.
[15:29] Itsuki
    I was little when I actually went
    to an amusement park with my family.
[15:32] Nayuta
    I see! Then let's experience
    our first time together!
[15:35] Itsuki
    But wouldn't it be better to experience
    our first time on a much calmer ride?
[15:40] Nayuta
    It'll be fine!
[15:40] Haruto
    Give it up, Itsuki.
[15:42] Miyako
    I don't like them very much, either,
    but Nayu wants to ride it, so...
SIGN    Little Sister
[15:52] Nayuta
    Isn't this exciting, Senpai?
[15:55] Itsuki
    I've said my prayers. Now kill me.
[15:57] Miyako
    I'm getting nervous, too.
[16:00] Haruto
    I'm getting nervous for
    various reasons myself.
[16:11] Nayuta
    Wasn't that so much fun?!
[16:14] ---
    It went in circles, then went "whoosh" and
    then went "pew" and then squeezed us!
[16:18] ---
    I really liked it!
[16:19] Itsuki
    Yeah! Especially that one part that
    went "rattle rattle" and then "zoom"!
[16:24] Itsuki
    It was awesome!
[16:27] Haruto
    That was pretty intense.
[16:29] Miyako
    Yes. I almost got dizzy.
[16:32] Nayuta
    Senpai, which ride should we go on next?
[16:35] Itsuki
    Any of them! We'll be riding
    them all eventually, anyway!
[16:38] Nayuta
    Woohoo! You totally get it, Itsuki-senpai!
[16:42] Itsuki
    What's the matter, Haruto?
    Let's hurry up and go to the next one.
[16:44] Haruto
    Wait... Let's not go on another
    intense one right after that.
[16:48] Miyako
    Yeah, I concur.
[16:51] Itsuki
    Oh, all right, then.
    We can go on a calmer one next.
[17:30] Haruto
    Is something wrong, Miyako-chan?
[17:32] Miyako
    Oh, no. I'm just a bit tired.
[17:35] Haruto
    I see. Um...
[17:37] Haruto
    Th-Then why don't we take a little break?
[17:44] Haruto
    Here you go.
[17:46] Miyako
    Oh, thank you.
[17:59] Haruto
    S-So what do you usually on
    your days off, Miyako-chan?
[18:05] Miyako
    I usually go shopping or
    to karaoke with my friends.
[18:08] Haruto
    I see...
[18:10] Miyako
    What do you do, Fuwa-san?
[18:12] Haruto
    I usually read books or
    play video games at home.
[18:16] Miyako
    Oh, you did mention that.
    Still, I'm a bit surprised.
[18:19] Haruto
    Huh?
[18:20] Miyako
    You seemed like the type that goes out a lot.
[18:25] Haruto
    That's not true at all. I've always
    been more of the indoor type.
[18:29] Miyako
    Come to think of it, I've been
    reading more books lately, too...
[18:33] Miyako
    Ever since I met Itsuki.
[18:35] Haruto
    I see... Oh, did you already read
    Nayu-chan's novel from your birthday?
[18:42] Miyako
    Yes...
[18:43] Haruto
    How was it?
[18:44] Miyako
    It made me think that Nayu
    really is a great writer.
[18:50] Miyako
    It almost feels unnatural to be
    hanging out with her all the time.
[18:53] Haruto
    Unnatural?
[18:54] Miyako
    Like, I wonder if it's okay to be talking
    about such normal things with her...
[19:00] Miyako
    Like we don't really match up...
[19:03] Haruto
    I think I get what you mean.
[19:07] Haruto
    But you shouldn't worry about that.
[19:11] Miyako
    Really?
[19:13] Haruto
    I'm surrounded by geniuses
    and amazing people.
[19:17] Haruto
    If I started worrying about that,
    there'd be no end. I wouldn't last.
[19:22] Haruto
    That's why I don't think about it.
[19:25] Miyako
    You're right.
[19:27] Haruto
    Y-Yeah...
[19:33] Itsuki
    Now that we've gone on all the rides...
[19:35] Nayuta
    Let's finish things off by
    going on the first one again.
[19:38] Itsuki
    Yeah, that sounds good.
[19:40] Miyako
    I think I'm done.
[19:42] Haruto
    I'm gonna pass, too. You two go and have fun.
[19:45] Itsuki
    You're so hopeless.
    All right, shall we, Kanikou?
[19:49] Nayuta
    Yes!
[19:54] Nayuta
    We'll be back, Myaa-san.
[19:56] Miyako
    Yeah. Have fun.
[19:58] Itsuki
    Hey, stop pulling.
[20:00] Nayuta
    Here we go!
[20:01] Itsuki
    Okay, already.
[20:02] Nayuta
    That rattly part is the best!
[20:04] Miyako
    Seriously, they're so made for each other...
[20:07] Haruto
    Ri—
[20:13] Miyako
    They should just go out
    with each other already.
[20:22] Haruto
    So that's how it is...
[20:30] Nayuta
    That was so much fun!
[20:33] Miyako
    Good for you!
[20:42] Itsuki
    So, did you make any progress?
[20:50] Itsuki
    Haruto?
[20:53] Haruto
    Nothing happened.
[20:54] Itsuki
    What the heck, you coward?
[20:59] Haruto
    Well, I'll just keep going at my own pace.
[21:17] Haruto
    So you don't have to help me out anymore.
[21:20] Itsuki
    Huh?
[21:21] Itsuki
    Oh, okay.
[21:23] Haruto
    Yeah. It'd just be too cruel...
[21:28] Itsuki
    Huh?
[21:32] Haruto
    Nothing.

[00:08] Toki
    This is the manuscript for chapter 1
    of the manga version
[00:10] Toki
    of Mahou Academy (Sister Method Academy).
[00:13] Toki
    You seem happy.
[00:15] Itsuki
    But of course!
[00:16] Itsuki
    Kaiko-san is a magnificent manga artist
    who completely understands my work.
[00:21] Itsuki
    I'm so excited to see how it turned
    out, I can't contain myself.
[00:26] Itsuki
    Her art is as amazing as I remember!
[00:28] Itsuki
    Way to go, Kaiko-san! This is exactly
    the quality I expected from her!
[00:31] Itsuki
    That must mean the pervy scenes also...
[00:35] Toki
    You mean like the opening scene
    where Sieg sees Hilde naked?
[00:39] Itsuki
    Yes! I'm sure the nudity is
    depicted in the best way!
[00:56] Itsuki
    What the hell?! Why...
[00:59] Itsuki
    Why is Hilde not naked?!
[01:02] Toki
    I was shocked when I saw the manuscript, too.
[01:04] Toki
    It appears that she, Mikuniyama-sensei,
    is a huge underwear fetishist.
[01:12] Itsuki
    Huh?
SIGN    A Sister Is All You Need.
[02:54] Itsuki
    So...
[02:55] Itsuki
    Could you explain to me why
    Hilde is wearing underwear?
[03:01] Kaiko
    I-It's just like your editor told you.
[03:04] Kaiko
    I absolutely love underwear,
    and that's why I drew it.
[03:10] Itsuki
    "And that's why I drew it," my ass!
[03:12] Itsuki
    Didn't you say that you loved my work?
[03:15] Itsuki
    How could you do something so awful to it?
[03:18] Kaiko
    It's true that I love and admire your work.
[03:23] Itsuki
    Then—
[03:23] Kaiko
    But I had always thought there was a very
    clear and unfortunate flaw in your books.
[03:28] Itsuki
    You can't mean...
[03:30] Kaiko
    Yes.
[03:31] Kaiko
    Why must you always insist
[03:32] ---
    on immediately stripping all the
    clothes off the cute little sisters?
[03:36] Kaiko
    The elegant little sisters should be
    wearing underwear worthy for girlfriends!
[03:42] Itsuki
    You fool!
[03:43] Itsuki
    A true big brother wants to see every
    last detail of his little sister!
[03:48] Itsuki
    Saying that a filthy little piece of cloth
[03:50] ---
    should hinder the view of the holy nude
    body of a little sister is outrageous!
[03:53] Itsuki
    Little sisters are the most beautiful
    when they are in their natural state.
[03:56] Kaiko
    Then they'd be no different from wild beasts!
[03:59] Kaiko
    People first become human
    when they don underwear.
[04:03] Kaiko
    Beautiful things need beautiful underwear.
[04:05] Kaiko
    Is that not the true human pursuit of beauty?
[04:08] Itsuki
    You fool! Truly beautiful creatures
    are already beautiful as they are!
[04:12] Itsuki
    Nudity is the ultimate form of fashion!
[04:14] Itsuki
    Little sisters are the most beautiful
    wild beasts in this world!
[04:18] Kaiko
    Did you just call nudity "fashion"?!
[04:20] Kaiko
    You, a moronic monkey that can't even
    understand the beauty of underwear,
[04:23] Kaiko
    have the nerve to tell me, a girl who's been
    surrounded by beautiful underwear all her life
[04:27] ---
    because she was born in a household in Gunma
    that had been in the silk farming industry
[04:30] ---
    since the Edo era, what fashion is?!
[04:32] Itsuki
    What a coincidence! I don't
    want to brag about my family,
[04:35] Itsuki
    but my grandfather's family
    made a fortune breeding koi
[04:37] Itsuki
    and he was a millionaire in Gifu,
[04:39] ---
    so I was surrounded by
    beauty ever since I was born.
[04:42] Itsuki
    Just as koi are beautiful and elegant
    as they swim in their natural form,
[04:45] Itsuki
    little sisters are the most
    beautiful when they're naked!
[04:48] Kaiko
    Gifu...
[04:50] Kaiko
    No wonder you have values
    similar to a wild monkey's.
[04:54] Itsuki
    Gunma...
[04:56] Itsuki
    I guess I can see why you would consider
    underwear sacred, since you're a savage
[04:59] ---
    whose concept of wearing clothes was instilled
    in you from the moment you were born!
[05:05] Toki
    Does any of this really matter anymore?
[05:07] Both
    Of course it does!
[05:09] Toki
    B-But considering Mikuniyama-sensei's
    art quality,
[05:13] ---
    I think the readers would
    be satisfied either way.
[05:16] Itsuki
    You moron!
[05:17] Itsuki
    The nude scenes in my books are not
    there to make the readers happy!
[05:21] Itsuki
    They're there for no logical reason,
    other than the fact that I want to see them!
[05:25] Toki
    Is that something you
    should declare so proudly?
[05:27] Kaiko
    I also don't draw underwear
    for the sake of the readers.
[05:32] Kaiko
    I draw it because I want to see
    the cute little sisters in underwear.
[05:38] Toki
    What are we supposed to do about this?
[05:43] Setsuna
    Heya, Sensei!
[05:46] Itsuki
    Sorry, I'm in a meeting right now.
[05:48] Setsuna
    You're in a bad mood. What's up?
[05:52] Itsuki
    The artist doing the manga version of
    Mahou Academy and I aren't seeing eye to eye.
[05:55] Setsuna
    Huh... The manga for Mahou Academy?
[05:59] ---
    Could I come in and say hi to them?
[06:02] Itsuki
    If you want.
SIGN    Little Sister
[06:05] Setsuna
    Heya! I'm the illustrator Puriketsu.
[06:09] Kaiko
    Y-You're Puriketsu-sensei?
[06:12] Kaiko
    I-It's an honor to meet you!
[06:14] Kaiko
    My name is Kaiko Mikuniyama,
    and I'm a new manga artist.
[06:17] Setsuna
    Totes pleasure.
[06:19] Setsuna
    Is this the manga manuscript?
[06:22] Setsuna
    Wow, you're really good!
[06:26] Setsuna
    Huh? But this part's supposed to be...
[06:29] Itsuki
    That's right!
[06:30] ---
    This woman had the nerve to draw
    underwear onto Hilde's nude scene!
[06:34] Setsuna
    What?!
[06:36] Setsuna
    Wait, wait, wait! What are you thinking?!
[06:38] Setsuna
    Putting panties on a naked girl...
[06:41] Setsuna
    What decent human being would do that?!
[06:43] Kaiko
    P-Puriketsu-sensei...
[06:45] Kaiko
    So you're also a heretic who believes
[06:48] ---
    in the blasphemy known as nude supremacy?
[06:50] Setsuna
    This is unbelievable!
[06:52] ---
    I can sort of understand the bra,
    but she shouldn't be wearing panties!
[06:55] Itsuki
    What are you talking about?!
[06:57] ---
    Completely nude without a
    single piece of cloth on her!
[06:59] Itsuki
    Anything else is unacceptable!
[07:01] Itsuki
    Just a bra? I had no idea you were
    such a heathen, Puriketsu-sensei!
[07:06] Setsuna
    Actually, I'm fine with the scenes
    where she's facing front as they are,
[07:09] Setsuna
    but when her butt's showing in full,
    I want the panties to be off!
[07:13] Kaiko
    Th-There's no way I could
    do something so unnatural!
[07:16] Kaiko
    Bra and panties are a set!
[07:18] Kaiko
    There's no other answer!
[07:21] Setsuna
    Sensei! We can't leave Mahou Academy
    in the hands of someone like this.
[07:27] Itsuki
    I want to say that I agree...
[07:31] Itsuki
    But other than this scene,
[07:33] ---
    the Mahou Academy that this woman
    drew is absolutely perfect.
[07:37] Itsuki
    Why did you have to be an underwear-obsessed
    freak when you have so much talent?
[07:42] Kaiko
    I could say the same about you!
[07:43] Kaiko
    How did you end up a nude-lover
[07:46] ---
    when it's so clear how much
    you love little sisters?
[07:50] Setsuna
    Then I'll just draw it.
[07:54] Setsuna
    I'll draw the Mahou Academy manga.
[07:57] Tokuyama
    Are you serious?!
[07:58] Toki
    You can't just do that!
[08:00] Itsuki
    Can you even draw manga?
[08:02] Setsuna
    I can probably manage.
[08:04] Kaiko
    I will do the manga
    version of Mahou Academy!
[08:07] Kaiko
    I won't let anyone else do it!
[08:09] Setsuna
    Then let's have a competition.
[08:12] Kaiko
    I wouldn't have it any other way!
[08:13] Kaiko
    I won't lose, even if I'm up
    against you, Puriketsu-sensei!
SIGN    Little Sister
[08:19] Toki
    Uh... so...
[08:21] Toki
    We will now begin this manga competition
[08:23] ---
    between Puriketsu-sensei
    and Mikuniyama-sensei.
[08:27] Toki
    The theme is that scene with Hilde,
    and the judges will be us three.
[08:31] Kaiko
    I will put my all into this manuscript.
[08:34] Setsuna
    I'll show you how it's done.
[08:37] Itsuki
    How do you think this will go, Tokuyama-san?
[08:40] Tokuyama
    Well... As a manga editor,
[08:44] ---
    it'd be very beneficial to have
    Puriketsu-sensei draw the manga,
[08:48] Tokuyama
    and since she's nude in the original story,
[08:51] ---
    I think she should be nude
    in the manga, as well.
[08:54] Itsuki
    So the judges feel that Puriketsu-sensei
    has a clear lead in this competition.
[08:59] Toki

[09:02] Toki
    Anyway, are you both ready?
[09:04] Kaiko
    No, one moment, please.
[09:22] Itsuki
    P-Panties?!
[09:24] Setsuna
    Those are panties, right?
[09:26] Kaiko
    Yes, they are indeed panties.
[09:32] Itsuki
    Y-You had panties on your
    head this whole time?
[09:37] Kaiko
    Precisely.
[09:38] Itsuki
    You pervert!
[09:40] Kaiko
    What's wrong with using panties as a ribbon?!
[09:44] Itsuki
    I-I'm not saying it's wrong... But why
    did you suddenly pull out panties?

    What?!
[10:00] Kaiko
    Now... let us begin.
[10:04] Itsuki
    Wait, wait, wait! What's with that getup?!
[10:08] Kaiko
    This is my formal uniform when I draw manga.
[10:11] Itsuki
    F-Formal uniform?
[10:13] Itsuki
    Though I guess there are many authors
    who change clothes when they work...
[10:16] Itsuki
    Kanikou is naked when she writes, so for
    someone to have panties on their face,
[10:20] Itsuki
    I guess it's...
[10:22] Itsuki

[10:26] Itsuki
    not strange!

    All right. We're starting for real this time!
[10:31] Kaiko
    Yes, sir.
[10:31] Setsuna
    Heck yeah!
[11:00] Setsuna
    I'm done!
[11:01] Kaiko
    As am I.
[11:05] Itsuki
    All right. Let's start with Setsuna's manga.
[11:20] Itsuki
    The nudes you draw are absolutely the best.
[11:24] Itsuki
    All right, let's see yours.
[11:32] Itsuki
    There's... even less exposure?!
[11:39] Itsuki
    But...
[11:53] Kiako
    Well? How do you like my manga?
[12:04] Toki
    All of the judges unanimously vote
[12:07] Toki
    for Mikuniyama-sensei.
[12:16] Setsuna
    I guess I still have a way to go.
[12:19] Itsuki
    Sorry. The nudes that you
    drew were really amazing...
[12:23] Itsuki
    But it felt more like a single
    drawing than a whole manga.
[12:26] Itsuki
    On the other hand, there was a story in
    Mikuniyama-sensei's depiction of underwear.
[12:30] Itsuki
    I, a nude supremacist,
[12:32] ---
    couldn't take my eyes off the depiction
    of her taking off her underwear.

    with you on Mahou Academy.

    Why are you looking at an underwear site?
[13:17] Itsuki
    I-I was just looking something
    up for my books...
[13:21] Nayuta
    Why would you need to look up
    something about underwear?
[13:24] Nayuta
    No matter what kind of
    underwear they're wearing,

    they're going to be naked by the
    next line, so why does it matter?
[13:32] Itsuki
    It's true. That's how it's been...
[13:35] Itsuki
    But from now on, I'll intricately write

    What?! Where did this come from?
[13:41] Itsuki
    Mikuniyama-sensei, the artist

[14:33] Kaiko
    Wrong path, you say?
[14:36] Nayuta
    I heard you made some changes to

[14:39] Kaiko
    Huh? Well, yes, I did...
[14:42] Miyako

[14:44] Nayuta
    This woman had the nerve to put underwear

[15:34] Kaiko
    In the shower, while they're eating,

[08:00] Protagonist
    Oh, good morning.
[08:02] Little sister
    Herf.
[08:03] Protagonist
    You're as cute as ever.
[08:04] Little sister
    Hngh.
[08:06] Protagonist
    My little sister stands
    just under two meters tall.
[08:08] Protagonist
    When she's intimidating an enemy,
    she swells up to about five meters.
[08:12] Protagonist
    Her whole body is covered in
    tentacles and protrusions.
[08:15] Protagonist
    She has fifteen bumps on
    her shoulders and back,
[08:17] Protagonist
    and there seems to be something
    like a brain floating inside.
[08:20] Protagonist
    For the most part, she considers humans food,
[08:24] Protagonist
    so it's hard to communicate with her.
[08:26] Protagonist
    You tried to eat me again
    last night, didn't you?
[08:28] Protagonist
    You bad girl.
[08:30] Protagonist
    Looks like she's reflecting on her actions.
[08:34] Protagonist
    You're so cute.
[08:52] Toki
    What is this?
[08:54] Itsuki
    A practice draft of my new project.
[08:56] Itsuki
    I just wrote it to get a
    clearer picture of things.
[08:59] Toki
    Oh?
[09:00] Itsuki
    How much can one love someone just
    because they're a little sister?
[09:05] Itsuki
    That's the theme for this piece.
[09:07] Toki
    I see. And?
[09:10] Itsuki
    And?
[09:11] Toki
    Were you able to love a creature
    from another dimension
[09:15] ---
    that only sees you as food?
[09:20] Itsuki
    Just barely, but yes.
[09:22] Toki
    If it's just barely for you, it's definitely
    not possible for normal people!
[09:29] Toki
    I'm fine with you working on a new project,
[09:32] Toki
    but I hope you're progressing
    with volume 6 of Mahou Academy.
[09:35] Itsuki
    Have no fear. I just have
    the climax left to do.
[09:39] Toki
    If you fail to meet your deadline again,
    you're going straight back to that prison.
[09:44] Itsuki
    I-I'm really okay this time.
SIGN    Little Sister
[09:59] Itsuki
    Hey, Kanikou. We're going to the zoo.
[10:02] Nayuta
    Just the two of us, Itsuki-senpai?
[10:04] Itsuki
    It's for research.
[10:06] Itsuki
    I'm not going to force you, but—
[10:08] Nayuta
    I'll go!
SIGN    Little Sister
SIGN    -no Zoo
[10:17] Nayuta
    It's not very crowded, unlike the
    amusement park we went to.
[10:20] Itsuki
    Yeah. I guess it's always best
    to go out on the weekdays.
[10:24] Nayuta
    Yup. It's been so long since
    I've been to the zoo.
[10:29] Itsuki
    I haven't been here since I came
    with my family when I was little.
[10:33] Nayuta
    All right, Senpai.
[10:35] ---
    Let's go ogle all the naked beasts
    locked up in their cages.
[10:39] Itsuki
    Stop phrasing it in such a gross way!
SIGN    Little Sister
[10:44] Nayuta
    He's so big, Senpai.
[10:46] Itsuki
    Yeah, he is.
[10:48] Girl
    Mommy, the panda's so cute!
[10:50] Mom
    Yes, it's adorable.
[10:56] Nayuta
    He's got his p**** out in full
    view in front of a little girl.
[10:59] Nayuta
    If he were a human, he'd be
    arrested for indecent exposure.
[11:02] Itsuki
    Yeah. What an awful panda.
[11:06] Nayuta
    Pandas are kind of like old human men.
[11:10] Itsuki
    Yeah. He looks like he'd be watching
    a baseball game and eating yakitori.
SIGN    Giant Panda Ju Ju Male 7 years old (About 30 years old in human years)
[11:15] Nayuta
    Senpai, it says this panda's
    about thirty in human years.
[11:20] Itsuki
    You're in the prime of your career!
    What in the world are you doing?
[11:24] Nayuta
    It's this panda's job to eat and expose
    his p**** to the world in broad daylight.
[11:30] Nayuta
    Apparently he rests in his
    room when the zoo is closed,
[11:33] Nayuta
    but he's got a pool and heated floors.
[11:35] Itsuki
    Must be nice!
[11:37] Nayuta
    Not to mention, he's the most
    popular animal at the zoo.
[11:41] Itsuki
    All he has to do is sit there
    naked and eat food.
[11:44] ---
    Of course the zoo would
    give him the VIP treatment.
[11:48] Nayuta
    If it was you naked in there, Senpai,
    I'd come watch you all day, too.
[11:53] Itsuki
    Come on. Let's go to the next spot.
[11:57] Girl
    The panda's so cute! Panda! Panda!
[12:29] Itsuki
    I just ended up enjoying
    myself like a normal person.
[12:32] Itsuki
    But I came here to get some ideas on the
    monster they'd fight in the climax...
[12:38] Itsuki
    What's the matter, Kanikou?
[12:40] Nayuta
    I was thinking about the
    golden balls on the kangaroo.
[12:43] Itsuki
    Kangaroo?
[12:45] Nayuta
    They were just dangling from
    his crotch like pendulums.
[12:49] Itsuki
    Yeah, so they were.
[12:51] Nayuta
    If he were to hop in that state,
    wouldn't they rip off and go flying?
[12:55] Itsuki
    Don't say such horrifying things.
[12:57] Nayuta
    Not to mention, those guys do kickboxing.
[13:01] Itsuki
    They take no-guard tactics to another level.
[13:04] Nayuta
    All the lions and elephants had their
    pes dangling in clear view, too.
[13:08] Nayuta
    I took lots of pictures.
[13:17] Itsuki
    Well, this is awful.
[13:20] Nayuta
    Now I just need to get a
    picture of a human p
.
[13:26] Itsuki
    Don't look at me.
[13:29] Itsuki
    Don't look at my crotch, either!
[13:32] Nayuta
    But I already have a naked
    picture of you, Senpai.
[13:36] Itsuki
    That's from that one time!
    Hurry up and delete it!
[13:40] Nayuta
    No way!
[13:43] Nayuta
    Ah, Senpai, your cute and defenseless ass...
[13:46] Nayuta
    Smooch, smooch, smooch!

    Chrom! So this was your doing, after all!
[13:54] Chrom
    Are you enjoying my amusement park from hell?

    Return us to our world!
[14:01] Chrom
    Don't be in such a hurry.
[14:03] Chrom
    You haven't even seen my brilliant plan yet.
[14:06] Sieg
    What?
[14:07] Chrom
    Come forth, my minions of darkness!
[14:30] Panda
    Man, this yakitori is tasty.
[14:35] Itsuki
    Why would I even write "yakitori is tasty"?
[14:41] Itsuki
    Lions, tigers, alligators...
[14:43] Itsuki
    But I already modeled an enemy
    after a carnivore before...
[14:48] Itsuki
    Maybe I should drop the
    animal idea for a sec, and...
[14:51] Itsuki
    Okay. I'm going out for a bit.
[14:54] Chihiro
    Huh? Where to?
[14:55] Itsuki
    The aquarium. I was so enthralled
    by the whale shark I saw in Okinawa
[14:59] ---
    that I wasn't even paying
    attention to the other fish.
[15:02] Chihiro
    The aquarium... That sounds nice.
[15:05] Itsuki
    Want to come with me, then?

    I'd love to!
SIGN    Little Sister

    Now that you mention it, I guess it is.
[15:25] Itsuki
    After my father remarried,
[15:27] ---
    I did everything I could
    to avoid my new family.
[15:32] Itsuki
    I'm not sure if Chihiro was
    trying to respect my privacy,
[15:35] Itsuki
    but he kept his distance.
[15:38] Itsuki
    Our relationship only changed
    after I started living on my own.
[15:43] Itsuki
    Right now, I think our
    relationship is going as well as
[15:46] ---
    any other relationship
    between normal brothers.
[15:50] Itsuki
    I guess it's already been about
    four years. Time sure does fly.
[15:59] Itsuki
    Are you all right? Your face is all red.
[16:02] Chihiro
    I'm fine. It's just a little tight in here.
[16:13] Chihiro
    Wow, this is amazing!

    Sardines! That's what I cooked
    for you the other day!

[16:23] Chihiro
    That tuna is amazing. I wonder
    how many people it could feed.

    That red snapper is so
    big, too. This is great!
[16:30] Chihiro
    Oh, and there's a shark!
[16:31] Chihiro
    I'll make some meuniere sometime soon!
[16:33] Chihiro

    I wonder if they taste good.

SIGN    Little Sister
[16:44] Chihiro
    That was so much fun!
[16:45] Itsuki
    Yeah.

    You came to do research
    for your book, right?
[16:49] Chihiro
    Did I get in your way?
[16:51] Itsuki
    Not at all. Actually, I got
    a new idea for my book.
[16:55] Chihiro
    Idea?
[16:56] Itsuki
    A character that sees everything
    as food seems kinda fun.
[16:59] Chihiro
    I-I don't see everything as food.
[17:03] Chihiro
    I was in awe at how pretty
    the jellyfish were.
[17:05] Itsuki
    But you'd eat them, right?
[17:07] Chihiro
    I would, but...
[17:10] Itsuki
    I guess even you get excited
    about certain things.
[17:14] Chihiro
    W-Well, can you blame me?

    You rarely ever take me anywhere.
[17:20] Itsuki
    Right...

    Next, the fifth line on page 21.
[05:57] Yamagata
    You're a lifesaver. Thank you.
[05:58] Toki
    Yes. The description of
    Hilde going up the stairs...
[06:00] Miyako
    Oh, I didn't really do anything...
[06:02] Yamagata
    Now we'll be able to release
    the new book somehow.
[06:02] Toki
    How did you think there weren't any
    problems with this, you moron?
[06:05] Toki
    It's obviously too long!
[06:06] Miyako
    What's wrong?
[06:08] Yamagata
    Now I have to go apologize to the printers,
[06:10] ---
    the proofreaders, and the
    marketing department.
[06:13] Yamagata
    Not the little shit who
    couldn't keep her deadline...
[06:16] Yamagata
    Somehow I get stuck with it.
[06:20] Yamagata
    I know very well that this is my job.
[06:23] Yamagata
    A simple job, where a little girl
    continuously gives me the runaround.
[06:27] Miyako
    Um... Are things not going
    well between you two?
[06:32] Yamagata
    I don't think I could really say we're
    creating something together like they are.
[06:33] Toki
    And I'm telling you that
    description is going too far!
[06:36] Toki
    You're focusing way too
    much on her legs... What?
[06:38] Miyako
    Maybe you two should talk
    more about the content...
[06:40] Toki
    Well, yeah, but... I'm telling you—
[06:42] Yamagata
    No.
[06:44] Yamagata
    There's no place for anyone to
    say anything about her work.
[06:48] Yamagata
    As an editor, I'm basically
    just fixing her typos.
[06:52] Yamagata
    It's infuriating, honestly.
[06:55] Miyako
    Have you thought about
    quitting as her editor?
[06:58] Yamagata
    The thought hasn't crossed my mind even once.
[07:01] Miyako
    Not even once?
[07:04] Yamagata
    Well, if I quit, I couldn't be the
    first to read Nayuta Kani's novel.
[07:11] Miyako
    That must mean...
[07:13] Miyako
    you really love Nayu's work.
[07:17] Yamagata
    I hate to admit it, but yes.
[07:21] Toki
    Damn it, wait a second!
[07:23] Toki
    Ugh, we're getting nowhere!
    I'm heading over there now!
[07:31] Miyako
    I guess editors have a lot to deal with.
SIGN    Short for "proof copy." It's the rough print of what the manuscript would look like in the book. Most of the proofreading and corrections done by the editors, proofreaders, and author are done on this copy. The copy that reflects all of these corrections is what will be submitted for publishing.
[07:40] Haruto
    All right. In celebration of Itsuki and
    Nayu-chan's new volumes coming out...
SIGN    Mahou Academy
[07:41] [SONG] Sign
    Pure-Colored
    Scenery
[07:45] Haruto
    Cheers!
[07:47] Ituski
    Cheers.
[07:47] Miyako
    Good job.
[07:47] Chihiro
    Good job.
[07:49] Nayuta
    Thanks to Myaa-san, I was able
    to release my book. Thank you.
[07:53] Itsuki
    Did Miyako do something?
[07:55] Miyako
    Huh?
[07:59] Nayuta
    Myaa-san stri—
[08:00] Miyako
    I didn't do a thing!
[08:03] Itsuki
    R-Right... Come to think of it, Kaiko-san
    also said it was all thanks to you, too.
[08:08] Itsuki
    What did you do?
[08:11] Miyako
    Seriously, I didn't do anything.
[08:15] Miyako
    If you pry any further,
    I'll break your collarbone.
[08:18] Itsuki
    G-Got it...
[08:21] Itsuki
    Seriously, what happened?
SIGN    Little Sister
[08:25] Itsuki
    Nothing beats a meal eaten when
    you're not being crushed by work.
[08:29] Haruto
    True. You try not to eat too much before
    a deadline since if you get full,
[08:33] ---
    you might get sleepy.
[08:34] Nayuta
    Yup.
[08:35] Itsuki
    You never even worry about deadlines.
[08:39] Nayuta
    Well, I do feel like I should be positive
[08:42] ---
    and feel the obligation to finish
    my work by the deadline.
[08:46] Itsuki
    Meaning you have zero intention to.
[08:52] Haruto
    Now that we're all relaxed,
    why don't we play a game?
[08:56] Itsuki
    Good idea.
[08:58] Miyako
    What are we going to play?
[09:00] Haruto
    Hmm...
SIGN    Moteneba.
[09:02] Haruto
    How about Once Upon a Time?
[09:11] Haruto
    Once Upon a Time is a game in which the
    players are storytellers creating a story.
[09:16] Haruto
    Each player has an ending card that
    has the ending to their story,
[09:20] Haruto
    and a number of story cards to build
    up their story are passed out.
[09:25] Haruto
    The first player to use all their story cards
[09:27] ---
    and complete the story with
    their ending card is the winner.
[09:31] Haruto
    If an idea from one of your story cards comes
    up while another storyteller is speaking,
[09:37] Haruto
    you can present your card and steal
    the position of storyteller from them.
[09:40] Chihiro
    I see.
[09:42] Chihiro
    So you try to take the story in the direction
[09:44] ---
    where it leads to your own conclusion.
[09:48] Haruto
    Also, there's an interrupt card that
    can be used when a similar type of card
[09:52] ---
    is presented, letting a player forcefully
    steal the position of storyteller.
[09:55] Haruto
    Make sure you use those wisely.
[09:58] Haruto
    Okay, let's do rock-paper-scissors
    to see who the first storyteller is.
[10:03] Itsuki
    All right. I'll create a new story.
[10:08] Itsuki
    Once upon a time, there was an
    older brother and younger sister.
SIGN    Older Brother, Little Sister People
[10:12] Haruto
    Looks like Itsuki got the
    most appropriate cards again.
[10:16] Itsuki
    This is God's will telling me to make
    this a story about a little sister.
[10:19] Itsuki
    This goes without saying, but the
    little sister is super beautiful.
[10:24] Nayuta
    Got it!
[10:26] Nayuta
    Now I'm the storyteller.
[10:28] Miyako
    I see. So that's how you use
    your cards and interrupt.
[10:34] Haruto
    Once the storyteller changes,
[10:35] ---
    the player who was interrupted
    has to take a card from the pile.
[10:40] Nayuta
    The little sister was extremely beautiful.
[10:43] Nayuta
    But someone put a curse on her,
    and she was turned into a wolf.
SIGN    Wolf
[10:47] Chihiro
    Huh?
[10:48] Itsuki
    What on earth are you doing
    to my little sister?!
[10:51] Nayuta
    The one who turned the
    little sister into a wolf
SIGN    Witch
SIGN    Witch People
[10:53] ---
    was a very cute, completely naked witch.
[10:55] Nayuta
    Her name is Kaniko-chan.
SIGN    Kaniko-chan
[10:58] Nayuta
    And then the witch Kaniko-chan said,
SIGN    Little Sister
SIGN    Witch
[11:01] Nayuta
    "I've always loved you, Senpai.
[11:03] Nayuta
    If you marry me, I'll return
    your little sister to normal."
[11:08] Itsuki
    You can't be serious!
[11:10] Nayuta
    Then the older brother thought,
[11:11] Nayuta
    "She cares so much about me.
    She's so adorable."
[11:16] Nayuta
    And so, the two fell in love.
SIGN    Fall in Love
SIGN    Witch
[11:20] Itsuki
    Come back to your senses, Big Brother!
[11:23] Chihiro
    Um... I can use this interrupt
    card right now, right?
SIGN    Interrupt
SIGN    Came Back
[11:29] Chihiro
    I guess I'm the storyteller now.
[11:31] Chihiro
    Let's see...
SIGN    Witch
[11:33] Chihiro
    As promised, the witch returned the
    little sister to her natural form.
[11:37] Chihiro
    As a result, the big brother realized
    that his little sister was better.
[11:42] Nayuta
    Senpai, you cheating jerk.
[11:44] Itsuki
    Yes! Good work, Chihiro!
[11:45] Chihiro
    Then the big brother said,
[11:47] Chihiro
    "Kaniko-san, let's divorce.
    I love my little sister more."
SIGN    Argue
[11:53] Chihiro
    The older brother and Kaniko-san
    got in a huge argument,
[11:56] Chihiro
    but Kaniko-san finally understood
    how deep their bond as siblings was.
[12:01] Chihiro
    And so, the two were able to
    reclaim their peaceful life.
[12:05] Chihiro
    Let's see... Hmm...
[12:07] Haruto
    If you can't continue
    the story, you can pass.
[12:11] Chihiro
    Oh, then I pass.
[12:13] Haruto
    Then the player on your left
    becomes the storyteller.
[12:16] Nayuta
    That's me!
[12:18] Nayuta
    Though the witch had withdrawn once,
[12:21] Nayuta
    deep inside, she just couldn't accept it.
[12:23] Chihiro
    What?
[12:24] Nayuta
    As she saw them living happily,
    her hatred brewed,
[12:28] Nayuta
    and the witch put a curse on them.
SIGN    Spell Thing
[12:33] Nayuta
    ***** dangle, dangle, sausage!
SIGN    Little Sister
SIGN    Witch
[12:36] Nayuta
    The witch's magic made the big
    brother's p**** over a meter long,
[12:40] ---
    and the little sister
    completely naked forever.
[12:42] Miyako
    That's awful!
[12:43] Itsuki
    What a terrifying curse...
[12:45] Haruto
    This would definitely make
    Kaniko-chan an evil witch.
[12:49] Haruto
    And so...
[12:52] Nayuta
    This is all a tragedy born of love.
[12:54] Itsuki
    Like hell making someone's
    p**** a meter long is love!
[12:59] Haruto
    So in order to find the witch,
    who had concealed herself,
[13:03] Haruto
    the siblings went on a journey.
[13:04] Itsuki
    So they're on a journey naked...
[13:08] Haruto
    But then one of the witch's creatures
    appears to get in their way.
SIGN    Creature People
SIGN    Run Away
[13:13] Haruto
    The two ran away with all their might.
[13:15] Itsuki
    While they're naked...
SIGN    Little Sister
[13:18] Haruto
    While they were running, they found a cave.
[13:21] Itsuki
    While they're naked...
[13:22] Haruto
    The two hid in the cave to
    get away from the creature
[13:26] ---
    and kept going deeper and deeper into it.
[13:28] Itsuki
    While they're naked?
[13:30] Haruto
    Yes, while they're naked.
[13:32] Haruto
    Um...
[13:34] Haruto
    In the depths of the cave,
    they found a shining holy sword.
[13:38] Nayuta
    Got it!
[13:40] Nayuta
    The big brother thought he might be able
    to fight with the creature with the sword,
SIGN    Little Sister
[13:44] Nayuta
    but he couldn't swing the sword properly
[13:47] ---
    because his meter-long p**** got in the way.
[13:49] Nayuta
    It was then that the creature
    found them in the cave.
[13:54] Nayuta
    This was now a life or death situation.
[13:56] Nayuta
    But the big brother didn't give up.
[13:58] Nayuta
    "That's right. Even if I
    can't use this holy sword,
SIGN    Little Sister
[14:01] ---
    I've already got a mighty sword right here!"
[14:05] Itsuki
    Hey, you don't mean...
[14:07] Nayuta
    Schwing!
[14:09] Nayuta
    The big brother took his p**** in his
    hands and wielded it like a sword.
[14:13] Itsuki
    Are you stupid?!
[14:15] Nayuta
    With the power of magic, the big
    brother's p**** could become a sword,
[14:19] ---
    could grow to over three meters,
[14:22] Nayuta
    and could even work like
    a whip if he willed it to.
[14:24] Nayuta
    "Thank you, Witch Kaniko-chan!"
[14:26] Nayuta
    As he thanked the witch for
    such a wonderful p****,
[14:29] ---
    he went after the creature.
[14:31] Itsuki
    They're being attacked by the creature
    because of the witch in the first place!
[14:34] Miyako
    Um... I can interrupt with this, right?
[14:38] Nayuta
    Oh, it's finally Myaa-san's
    turn to be the storyteller.
[14:42] Miyako
    I really don't want to be
    the storyteller right now...
[14:45] Nayuta
    Okay, Myaa-san, tell us all about the battle
    between the big brother and the creature.
[14:51] Miyako
    Um, well... The big brother, um...
[14:55] Miyako
    used his, well...
[14:58] Nayuta
    Oh? What was that?
[15:01] Miyako
    I said he used... h-his...
[15:05] Miyako
    p****...
[15:07] Nayuta
    You need to say it louder!
[15:09] Miyako
    H-He used his...
[15:11] Miyako
    He used his p**** to attack the creature!
[15:17] Miyako
    Are you satisfied?!
[15:18] Nayuta
    Well done, Myaa-san!
[15:22] Miyako
    The creature collapsed from
    the big brother's attack.
[15:25] Miyako
    The siblings then continued
    their journey to find the witch.
[15:28] Nayuta
    While they were naked!
SIGN    Little Sister
[15:30] chihiro
    And so, the journey of the
    naked siblings continued.
[15:33] Chihiro
    The big brother fought
    against the witch's minions,
[15:37] ---
    as well as bandits and adventurers, and
    continued to level up as a, um, P**** Master.
[15:43] Chihiro
    He defeated ruthless titans and evil dragons,
[15:46] Chihiro
    and even won a duel against
    the ultimate P**** Master,
[15:49] ---
    Musashi, who wielded two pes.
[15:52] Chihiro
    Because of that, the king of the P

    Kingdom handed over his throne to him,
[15:54] ---
    and the big brother married
    his little sister.
[15:56] Chihiro
    The witch that had cursed them finally
    admitted defeat and apologized to them.
[16:01] Chihiro
    The big brother forgave the witch,
    and made her his second wife.
[16:05] Chihiro
    And so the three continued to
    live long, happily, and naked,
[16:09] Chihiro
    and their kingdom came to
    be known as Nudist Land.
[16:13] Nayuta
    "And that's the reason this kingdom
    has such a strange name."
SIGN    And that's the reason this kingdom has such a strange name.
[16:24] Itsuki
    It's finally over...
[16:27] Haruto
    Yeah... Somewhere along the way I
    stopped caring about winning or losing.
[16:30] Chihiro
    That was an awful story.
[16:33] Itsuki
    But all the foreshadowing worked out,
[16:35] ---
    and things actually heated up at times.
[16:37] Itsuki
    Especially when he acquired his special
    move, the Turning Swallow Cut!
[16:40] Miyako
    Yeah, I do feel somewhat accomplished.
[16:43] Itsuki
    Yeah, I'd love to turn this into an anime.
[16:46] Haruto
    There's no way they could air it.
[16:49] Itsuki
    True...
[16:50] Itsuki
    Who's the moron that made
    his p**** into a weapon?
[16:56] Chihiro
    Oh, it's already this late?
[16:58] Chihiro
    I'm sorry, I have to head home.
[17:00] Miyako
    Oh, yeah. I'm going to
    miss the last train, too.
[17:03] Haruto
    I'm going to drink a little while
    longer. Be careful, you two.
[17:08] Nayuta
    I don't have the will to go back to my
    hotel, so I'm going sleep right here.
[17:15] Itsuki
    She's exhausted from playing
    too much. What is she, a kid?
[17:22] Haruto
    Say, Itsuki.
[17:24] Haruo
    Why don't you...
[17:27] Haruto
    just go out with Nayu-chan?
[17:31] Itsuki
    Where did that come from?
[17:33] Haruto
    Nayu-chan's a great girl.
[17:35] Haruto
    She's cute, she has big boobs,
    she's funny, and she's pervy.
[17:40] Itsuki
    You know I declined a long time ago.
[17:43] Haruto
    I do, but I have my own reasons.
[17:48] Itsuki
    Reasons?
[17:50] Haruto
    My reasons are my own.
[17:52] Itsuki
    I don't really get it,
[17:54] ---
    but why do I have to go out
    with Kanikou for your reasons?
[17:58] Haruto
    Well, you like Nayu-chan, right?
[18:01] Itsuki
    N-No, I don't feel that way about Kanikou.
[18:06] Haruto
    Stop being so stubborn.
[18:12] Haruto
    You like her, right? So go out with her.
[18:15] Itsuki
    What's with you today?
    You're being really pushy.
[18:19] Haruto
    Yeah, I might be.
[18:35] Itsuki
    All right, fine. I admit it.
[18:38] Itsuki
    I like Kanikou.
[18:40] Haruto
    Then...
[18:41] Itsuki
    I like her, and I want to go out with her.
[18:44] Itsuki
    Honestly, I even want to marry her.
[18:46] Itsuki
    But I can't right now. Not yet.
[18:50] Haruto
    Not right now?
[18:51] Itsuki
    Hypothetically... This is
    strictly hypothetical...
[18:54] Itsuki
    Let's say that Kanikou and I got married.
[18:57] Itsuki
    What happens then?
[18:58] Haruto
    Congratulations.
[19:00] Itsuki
    Shut up.
[19:02] Itsuki
    If Kanikou got married,
    the publishers would lose their minds.
[19:07] Itsuki
    It might even end up in
    the paper or the news.
[19:11] Haruto
    Well, I guess she is an eighteen-year-old
    author who's super popular.
[19:15] Itsuki
    And if it ended up on the news,
    this is how it would play out...
[19:19] Itsuki
    "Super Popular Female Novelist
    Nayuta Kani-san Gets Married!"
[19:22] Itsuki
    "She married a man two years older
    than her in the same profession."
[19:26] Haruto
    Yeah, I guess that's how it'd turn out.
[19:29] Itsuki
    Meaning I wouldn't be
    Itsuki Hashima anymore,
[19:33] ---
    but a guy in the same field as Nayuta Kani.
[19:36] Itsuki
    I'd just end up some supporting
    character in the story of her life.
[19:41] Itsuki
    I wouldn't be able to handle that.
[19:51] Itsuki
    I want to be the protagonist.
[19:55] Itsuki
    Right now, I'm a nobody,
[19:57] ---
    but if I'm able to become a
    protagonist equal to Kanikou,
[20:01] Itsuki
    then I'll tell her that I like her myself.
[20:05] Itsuki
    I do feel slightly bad for her,
    but I'm going to have her wait until then.
[20:10] Haruto
    I see.
[20:12] Haruto
    I guess there's no helping it, then.
[20:15] Haruto
    I guess there's nothing you can do.
[20:17] ---
    There are more important things than
    messing around with a cute girl, after all.
[20:24] Haruto
    But, Itsuki, what would it mean
    for you to be equal to her?
[20:29] Haruto
    Does that mean you just
    have to beat her in sales?
[20:31] Haruto
    Or get some literary award?
[20:34] Itsuki
    No idea.
[20:36] Itsuki
    So for now, I'm going to at least
    strive to be someone who won't just
[20:39] ---
    be called some rando in the same
    profession when we get married.
[20:41] Itsuki
    I guess getting an anime
    would be a good first step.
[20:45] Haruto
    "For now," "I guess," and "first step"...
[20:49] Haruto
    You don't hold back, do you?
[20:51] Haruto
    But, well, I guess you're right.
[20:54] Haruto
    Considering how high you're aiming,
[20:56] ---
    I guess getting an anime
    would just be a checkpoint.
[20:58] Itsuki
    Exactly.
[21:01] Haruto
    Man, this beer is good.
[21:02] Itsuki
    Yeah. Beer and sausages are the best combo.
[21:06] Haruto
    You know, I want to go to
    Germany or Belgium someday.
[22:41] Itsuki
    Her story really is way too good.
[22:43] [SONG] Sign
    Editor
[22:47] Itsuki
    Yeah?
[22:48] Toki
    Itsuki, I have something to tell you.
[22:52] Itsuki
    Was there an emergency reprint or something?
[22:54] Toki
    I'm surprised you knew.
[22:56] Itsuki
    Wait, seriously?!
[22:57] Toki
    I'm talking about Kani-sensei's
    new volume, not
Mahou Academy*.
[23:00] Itsuki
    Die.
[23:02] Itsuki
    The number of volumes printed for
    her current book is already higher
[23:04] ---
    than all of my Mahou Academy volumes,
    including the new one
[23:06] ---
    released this month, combined.
[23:08] Toki
    Which means she's so popular*
    that even that wasn't enough.
[23:11] Itsuki
    So what were you calling for again?
[23:13] Toki
    Oh, right.

[00:01] Itsuki
    When I was in sixth grade,
[00:04] Itsuki
    my mom was hospitalized due to sickness.
[00:07] Itsuki
    My father would come home
    late because of work,
[00:10] Itsuki
    so we hired a housekeeper.
[00:13] (Flashback) Mitahora
    Oh, you left your vegetables again.
[00:16] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I asked you to not put them in because
    I don't like them, Mitahora-san.
[00:20] (Flashback) Mitahora
    And you'll never grow big
    if you're a picky eater.
[00:24] (Flashback) Mitahora
    Just buck up and eat them.
[00:29] (Flashback) Mitahora
    That's a good boy.
[00:30] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Could you at least stop putting carrots and
    green peppers in the Hamburg steaks?
[00:37] Itsuki
    During my second year of middle
    school, my mother passed away.
[00:40] Itsuki
    Considering how pathetic I always look, it was impossible to make friends,
[00:44] Itsuki
    so I always went home right
    after school and read books.
[00:50] Itsuki
    It was only when I was
    reading interesting books
[00:52] ---
    that I could forget about my harsh reality.
[00:55] Itsuki
    I fell in love with all of the
    beautiful girls in these books,
SIGN    Zero's Familiar Noboru Maguchi
SIGN    Kanokon Katsumi Nishino
[00:58] Itsuki
    and I often took the most interest
    in little sister characters.
[01:04] Itsuki
    If I were the author, I'd definitely have
    the protagonist get with the little sister.
[01:10] Itsuki
    Not that I'd ever be able to write a novel.
[01:31] (Flashback) Ayane
    Nice to meet you! I'm Ayane Mitahora.
[01:34] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Mitahora?
[01:37] (Flashback) Ayane
    Yeah, I'm the daughter
    of the housekeeper lady.
[01:40] (Flashback) Ayane
    I'm a first-year in high school.
[01:43] (Flashback) Ayane
    You're Itsuki Hashima-kun, right?
[01:46] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Y-Yes... Can I help you?
[01:49] (Flashback) Ayane
    I came to hang out with you.
[01:51] (Flashback) Itsuki
    H-Hang out?
[01:52] (Flashback) Ayane
    I heard that you seemed down lately,
    so I came to cheer you up!
[01:57] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I think that goes beyond what
    a housekeeper's supposed to do.
[02:00] (Flashback) Ayane
    This doesn't have anything
    to do with my mom.
[02:03] (Flashback) Ayane
    I came here on my own.
[02:07] (Flashback) Ayane
    I mean, my mom won't stop
    talking about you at home.
[02:11] (Flashback) Ayane
    Like you getting a hundred on your test,
[02:13] (Flashback) ---
    or how you're a good kid because
    you finished your homework.
[02:15] (Flashback) Ayane
    She's always comparing me with you.
[02:18] (Flashback) Ayane
    I started thinking of you as
    a responsible little brother.
[02:22] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I don't really like being thought of that way.
[02:25] (Flashback) Ayane
    Of course I'd be worried if I heard
[02:28] (Flashback) ---
    someone I consider a little
    brother was feeling down.
[02:30] (Flashback) Ayane
    And that's why I'm here.
[02:32] (Flashback) Itsuki
    That's your reason?
[02:34] Itsuki
    Honestly, I couldn't hide my bewilderment,
[02:37] ---
    but the way she was doing something
    for someone she'd never met...
[02:40] Itsuki
    It felt as though she was a protagonist or
    heroine from one of the stories I'd read.
SIGN    Zero's Familiar Noboru Maguchi
SIGN    Kanokon Katsumi Nishino
[02:46] (Flashback) Ayane
    Wow, you have a lot of manga.
[02:49] (Flashback) Itsuki
    They aren't manga, they're
    novels... for what it's worth.
[02:52] (Flashback) Ayane
    Oh, really?
[02:54] (Flashback) Ayane
    Wow, I didn't know novels like this existed.
[02:57] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Th-That one's especially, um, uh...
[03:01] (Flashback) Ayane
    Oh, are you embarrassed?
[03:03] (Flashback) Ayane
    You don't need to worry.
[03:04] (Flashback) ---
    I borrow slightly pervy manga
    from my friends all the time.
[03:07] (Flashback) ---
    You do?
[03:09] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Yup.
[03:11] (Flashback) Ayane
    Maybe I'll try reading some of these, too.
[03:14] (Flashback) Ayane
    Can I borrow some?
[03:16] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Huh? Sure, I guess...
[03:18] (Flashback) Ayane
    Thanks.
[03:20] (Flashback) Itsuki
    One second, please.
[03:24] (Flashback) Itsuki
    If you're not used to reading these,
    maybe we should get you a short story.
[03:27] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Maybe a light fantasy...
[03:29] (Flashback) ---
    But it's probably easier to get
    into a school life story...
[03:33] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Maybe you'd prefer a female protagonist...
[03:35] (Flashback) Ayane
    You don't need to get too in-depth about it.
[03:38] (Flashback) Itsuki
    But I do.
[03:43] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I mean, what if you don't
    like the one I pick?
[03:45] (Flashback) Ayane
    Then just let me borrow something else.
[03:47] (Flashback) Ayane
    For now, I'd like to read the one
    that you're most into right now.
[03:51] (Flashback) Itsuki
    The one I'm most into?
[03:53] (Flashback) Ayane
    Yeah.
[03:58] (Flashback) Itsuki
    It'd be this.

[04:06] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Well, sort of.
[04:08] (Flashback) Ayane
    Then could I borrow this one?
    I promise to finish it by next week.
[04:12] (Flashback) Itsuki

[04:23] Itsuki
    After that, Ayane Mitahora would
    come over to my house weekly.
[04:32] Itsuki
    She was a pretty, older girl
    who'd play with me,
[04:35] ---
    talk about light novels with me,
[04:38] Itsuki
    and she'd even cosplay for me, at times.
[04:43] Itsuki
    It was only natural that the
    middle-school Itsuki Hashima
[04:48] ---
    would fall in love with her.
[05:03] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Okay. I'll definitely tell her next week.
[05:11] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Um, did something happen?
[05:16] (Flashback) Ayane
    Well, I professed my feelings to
    someone and got turned down.
[05:20] (Flashback) Ayane
    It seems I haven't been able to get over it.
[05:24] (Flashback) Itsuki
    You professed your feelings?
[05:26] (Flashback) Ayane
    Yeah.
[05:29] (Flashback) Itsuki
    What are they like?
[05:32] (Flashback) Ayane
    He's a boy in my class.
[05:34] (Flashback) ---
    He's not exactly good-looking, he's short,
    and he works in the library.
[05:38] (Flashback) Ayane
    I think I fell for him when I saw him
    reading a light novel on the bus home.
[05:43] (Flashback) Ayane
    I'd been eyeing him ever since.
[05:47] (Flashback) Ayane
    He was always working, even while
    the other kids fooled around
[05:50] (Flashback) ---
    getting ready for the cultural fair.
[05:52] (Flashback) Ayane
    And he's the only one who'd clean properly
    when everyone else is so whatever about it.
[05:56] (Flashback) Ayane
    But he'd always go straight home
    as soon as his duties were done,
[06:00] (Flashback) Ayane
    so for better or worse,
    he never follows the crowd—
[06:02] (Flashback) Itsuki
    That's enough!
[06:05] (Flashback) Ayane
    You're the one who asked...
[06:09] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I...
[06:12] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I like you, Ayane-san.
[06:16] (Flashback) Ayane
    Huh?
[06:17] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I'm telling you that I like you, Ayane-san.
[06:20] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Please go out with me.
[06:26] (Flashback) Ayane
    I'm sorry.
[06:28] (Flashback) Itsuki
    But why?
[06:33] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I've definitely read more light
    novels than that guy,
[06:36] (Flashback) ---
    I'm not good-looking and I'm short,
[06:38] (Flashback) Itsuki
    and I'm extremely confident that
    I'd never follow the crowd.
[06:43] (Flashback) Ayane
    That's not it, though.
[06:46] (Flashback) Ayane
    I'm really sorry. I can only
    see you as my little brother.
[06:55] (Flashback) Ayane
    Sorry. I'm gonna go home for today.
[06:58] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Don't ever come here again!
[07:02] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I have no need for an older sister.

    into a live-action movie!
[17:52] Miyako
    I just got one million yen!
[17:54] Miyako
    But I miss two turns and
    lose three happiness points?
[17:58] Miyako
    What's going on?
SIGN    Round 15
[17:59] Nayuta
    Negative comments are flooding my blog!
[18:01] Nayuta
    If my popularity is higher than six,
[18:03] ---
    I lose three happiness points, miss two turns,
    and my popularity rank drops by two?!
[18:09] Nayuta
    Why is this happening?
[18:12] Itsuki
    I won one million at the horse races.
SIGN    Round 17
[18:15] Itsuki
    That's nice, but it has nothing
    to do with being a writer.
SIGN    Round 18
[18:17] Haruto
    My editor lost my manuscript!
[18:20] ---
    I miss two turns and lose
    five happiness points?
[18:22] Itsuki
    Yeah... That's pretty disheartening.
[18:25] Chihiro
    My media venture falls through
    because my editor screwed up.
SIGN    Round 19
[18:29] Chihiro
    Minus five happiness points.
SIGN    Round 19
[18:32] Chihiro
    Could you not?
[18:34] Toki
    Sorry... Even though this is a game that
    doesn't deal with any real people or events,
[18:39] ---
    I'm sorry about the editor.
SIGN    Round 20
[18:43] Haruto
    My anime was a huge failure.
[18:45] Haruto
    Minus five happiness points.
SIGN    Round 20
[18:47] Haruto
    Oh. It's just me.
[18:50] Miyako
    My publisher got bought out.
SIGN    Round 21
[18:52] ---
    I get to go to the major
    label and start a new story?
[18:58] Miyako
    I'm not sure if this is good or not.
[19:03] Chihiro
    Because the protagonist didn't end
    up with the heroine they wanted,
[19:07] ---
    I end up being stalked.
[19:09] Chihiro
    Minus four happiness points,
    and I lose three turns.
[19:13] Chihiro
    A stalker? Does this actually happen?
[19:16] Toki
    Even after that, the troubled*
    lives of the writers continued.
[19:20] Toki
    And then...
[19:22] Itsuki
    We're done!
[19:25] Chihiro
    I have no idea what the
    readers want anymore...
[19:29] Haruto
    I should've never published my book.
[19:32] ---
    I should've just enjoyed
    my time on the Internet.
[19:35] Miyako
    So who won this thing, anyway?
[19:38] Miyako
    The one with the most happiness
    points wins, right?
SIGN    Rank 1: Itsuki, 2.3 million yen, Happiness points -13, Popularity 2 Rank 2: Chihiro, 4 million yen, Happiness points -24, Popularity 6 Rank 3: Miyako, 3.4 million yen, Happiness points -29, Popularity 3 Rank 4: Nayuta 7.2 million yen, Happiness points -32, Popularity 4 Rank 5: Haruto, 5.9 million yen, Happiness points -37, Popularity 8
[19:42] Miyako
    Wait, everyone's negative!
[19:44] Chihiro
    Most of the events were negative and
    there was rarely anything positive.
[19:49] Haruto
    Which means that since Itsuki debuted late,
[19:52] ---
    he didn't have as much of a chance
    for anything bad to happen.
[19:55] Itsuki
    I know I won, but I don't
    feel satisfied at all.
[20:00] Itsuki
    I don't, but...
[20:03] Haruto
    This is pretty realistic.
[20:05] Toki
    I hate to say that all of the
    events sounded extremely familiar.
[20:09] Miyako
    What? Are writers' lives
    really this messed up?
[20:12] Itsuki
    Yeah, it basically means that
    it's not so easy to be happy.
[20:16] Miyako
    It must be hard.
[20:18] Itsuki
    Well... We're still here because it's
    still a lot of fun, despite all that.
[20:23] Nayuta
    I'll follow you the rest of my life, Senpai!
[20:25] Itsuki
    G-Get off of me, Kanikou!
[20:26] Itsuki
    How dare you sneak in like that?
[20:26] Nayuta
    Nope! I'm gonna get even closer!
    I'm not going to let go!
[20:45] Toki
    Well, I'll be going now. See you later.
[20:48] All
    Bye!
[20:59] Miyako
    Sorry. Go on ahead!
[21:06] Miyako
    Um, Toki-san!
[21:08] Toki
    Yes?
[21:11] Miyako
    Could you tell me more about
    being an editor sometime?
[21:16] Toki
    Sure, I don't mind.
[21:18] Toki
    Are you interested in becoming an editor?
[21:21] Miyako
    Yes.
[21:22] Toki
    I see. Would you like to try
    working part-time at our office?
[21:28] Miyako
    Yes!
[21:30] Nayuta
    The one Itsuki-senpai loves is me!
SIGN    Mahou Academy (Sister Method Academy)
SIGN    Pure Love
SIGN    To be made into a manga in Monthly Comic Gifted!
[21:37] Nayuta
    If he became an equal protagonist to me...
[21:40] Nayuta
    But he's always been the best
    writer in the world to me...
[21:48] Nayuta
    I guess I'll just have to keep doing my best.
[21:54] Haruto
    I don't want to lose... in various ways.
[21:57] Guy A
    What? You're buying that?
    Wasn't the anime shit, though?
[22:01] Guy B
    I'm telling you, the novels are awesome.
SIGN    The Spirit Knight of the Distant World
[22:01] [SONG] Sign
    The super popular robot
    fantasy takes a new turn!
[22:04] Guy b
    Also, what anime?
[22:06] Haruto
    I really need to try harder.
[22:17] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Mahou Academy's going to
    be made into an anime?
[22:20] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Seriously? Are you serious?!
[22:22] Toki
    Yeah.
[22:23] (Flashback) Itsuki
    All right! My time has finally come!
[22:28] Toki
    I guess I should tell you this, too.
[22:30] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Huh?
[22:31] Toki
    This opportunity came up because another
    anime project fell through, so basically,
[22:37] ---
    you're the replacement.
[22:39] Toki
    There's really no time or budget,
[22:41] ---
    and frankly, the prospects of
    success are rather grim.
[22:44] Toki
    There's the whole thing with
    Fuwa-sensei's anime, too.
[22:47] Toki
    Do you still...
[22:48] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I'll do it.
[22:50] Toki
    You're sure?
[22:52] (Flashback) Itsuki
    There are things you can't see
    unless you take a step forward.
[22:55] (Flashback) Itsuki
    So the only choice I have is
    to fearlessly take that step.
[23:00] Itsuki
    What I said sounded cool and all, but...
[23:03] Itsuki
    No, it'll be okay. I can get through this.
[23:06] Itsuki
    After all, I don't have a little sister.
[23:09] Itsuki
    As long as I have the longing
    for a little sister,
[23:12] Itsuki
    I can go on forever!
[23:14] Itsuki
    All right, let's do this!
[23:30] Chihiro
    I have to tell Nii-san the truth...
SIGN    Kantoku
