[00:01] Itsuki
Oh... It's you, Miyako.
[00:03] Miyako
Itsuki?! Are you okay?!
[00:06] Itsuki
It's nothing. I just haven't
slept for two days.
[00:10] Itsuki
More importantly,
you came at the perfect time.
[00:12] Miyako
Huh?
[00:13] Itsuki
Would you deliver this to my editor?
[00:18] Itsuki
I'm counting on you...
[00:20] Miyako
Itsuki?!
[00:21] Miyako
Hey, Itsuki!
[00:27] Miyako
Jeez... What am I gonna do with you?
SIGN A Sister's All You Need.
[02:10] Miyako
Do I just use this to call him down?
[02:14] Yamagata
May I help you?
[02:16] Miyako
Y-Yes, u-um... I have It—
[02:19] Miyako
I'm here to deliver something from
Itsuki Hashima-sensei to Toki-san.
[02:23] Yamagata
Ah... come in.
[02:30] Yamagata
Ken-Ken, there's a delivery for you.
[02:32] Toki
That's enough, you little-sister-obsessed fool!
[02:39] Miyako
Is he okay?
[02:41] Yamagata
This happens all the time.
[02:43] Yamagata
That's his desk right there,
so you can just leave it.
[02:46] Miyako
Right...
[02:55] Miyako
This seems rough.
[02:57] Yamagata
It's always like this when
proofreading day is near.
[03:00] Miyako
Is it?
[03:03] ---
Huh? Isn't that...
[03:04] Yamagata
It's the cover for Nayuta
Kani-sensei's new volume.
[03:08] Yamagata
It's supposed to go on sale this month,
[03:10] Yamagata
but the manuscript hasn't been turned in yet.
[03:12] Miyako
Isn't that bad?
[03:13] Yamagata
Exactly. I haven't even been
able to get a hold of her.
[03:20] Miyako
Um...
[03:21] Miyako
Want me to check on her?
[03:24] Yamagata
Huh?
SIGN Can I come by your room
in a bit?
SIGN Read
SIGN Yay!
SIGN Read
[03:29] Miyako
Looks like I can go see her.
[03:32] Yamagata
Who are you?
SIGN Little Sister
[03:36] Nayuta
Welcome, Myaa-san!
[03:38] Nayuta
Come, come. Take your clothes off.
[03:40] Miyako
O-Okay.
[03:42] Miyako
I didn't come here to play, though!
[03:45] Nayuta
Huh? Oh, really?
[03:46] Miyako
Nayu, you haven't turned
in your manuscript yet.
[03:50] Nayuta
Meow...
[03:51] Miyako
Your editor said she's been
up all night waiting for it.
[03:55] Miyako
How much longer do you think it'll take?
[03:59] Nayuta
I'm almost done with the
amount I'm supposed to write,
[04:02] Nayuta
but I just haven't been into it.
[04:05] Miyako
You haven't been into it?
[04:06] Nayuta
So let's have some fun!
[04:08] ---
I think I'll feel more motivated
if you play with me.
[04:12] Miyako
No.
[04:13] Nayuta
Aw...
[04:14] Miyako
Don't give me that.
[04:15] ---
I'll play with you as much as you
like, after you finish your work.
[04:19] Nayuta
Meow... I guess I don't have a choice.
[04:24] Nayuta
In that case, Myaa-san,
let me use your lap as a pillow.
[04:27] Miyako
Huh?
[04:28] Nayuta
I'll work as I have you
recharge my batteries.
[04:32] Miyako
What does that even mean?
[04:33] Miyako
If that'll really help you write your
manuscript, I guess I don't mind.
[04:38] Miyako
Here.
[04:40] Miyako
Wait, you write it on your smartphone?
[04:42] Nayuta
Yup. I'll use whatever to write.
[04:46] Nayuta
I can write all the same using my laptop,
my Pomera, or even pencil and paper.
[04:50] Miyako
That's amazing, but...
[04:54] Miyako
If you have to be naked to write,
I guess it doesn't really matter.
[04:59] Nayuta
Your thighs feel nice, Myaa-san.
[05:02] Miyako
Yes, yes. Thank you.
[05:04] Nayuta
Okay, I guess I'll get to work.
[05:10] Miyako
Wow...
SIGN Little Sister
SIGN Send
[05:15] Nayuta
And my manuscript's been sent.
[05:17] Miyako
Good job, Nayu.
[05:20] Nayuta
It's all thanks to you, Myaa-san.
[05:22] ---
You should just become my editor.
[05:26] Miyako
Are things not going well with your editor?
[05:28] Nayuta
That's not true.
[05:30] Miyako
Then you should contact her.
[05:32] Nayuta
Well... It's not like talking to my editor
makes me finish my manuscript any faster.
[05:38] Miyako
You don't know that.
[05:40] ---
If you guys actually discuss it,
you might get even more ideas.
[05:47] Nayuta
That wouldn't happen.
[05:51] Miyako
Nayu...
[05:53] Toki
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.
[23:17] Toki
I guess I should congratulate you.
[23:19] Toki
**Mahou Academy (Sister Method Academy) will be made into an anime.
