    ...and they lived happily.
    The End

[00:04] ---
    I always remember the day
    my little sister first arrived.

[00:09] ---
    She was as fragile as spring snow,
[00:12] ---
    and hiding behind Mom, she cast her eyes
    down as she glanced at me.

[00:17] ---
    From today, she's going to be your little sister.
[00:19] ---
    Please take good care of her.
[00:23] ---
    I smile, and reply, "Sure!"
[00:36] ---
    Hey there!
[00:50] ---
    Nice to meet you, Big Brother.
[01:00] ---
    N-Nice to meet you.
[01:03] ---
    Ever since, I haven't seen my little sister at all.
[01:43] ---
    I'll be right there!
[01:52] ---
    Sagiri, I brought your meal.
[02:00] ---
    I'll leave your meal right here.
    Make sure to eat up.
[02:07] ---
    Please come out of your room
    so I can see your face.
    - From, Your Brother
[02:11] ---
    I'll be going now!
[02:19] ---
    All right!
[02:28] ---
    My name is Masamune Izumi.
    I'm a first year in high school.

[02:33] ---
    I go to school, but I also
    work as a light novel author.

[02:35] ---
    I read your newest release!
[02:37] ---
    Hey! Carry that a bit more carefully!
    There's still a bit left!
[02:38] ---
    From a year ago, I've been continually fighting.
[02:41] ---
    Wanna try this place?
[02:42] ---
    Against my little sister
    who refuses to leave her room.

[02:44] ---
    My irritation that I'm still
    only a high school student.

[02:45] ---
    Masamune Izumi.
[02:47] ---
    Well, all sorts of stuff like that.
[02:47] ---
    You're sharp as always.
[02:50] ---
    Now, the only family member left for me
    is my little step-sister.

[02:56] ---
    From that incident a year ago,
[02:59] ---
    my little sister shut herself in her room
[03:02] ---
    and stopped communicating with everyone.
[03:06] ---
    "Come out of your room so I can see your face."
    That is my only wish.
[03:10] ---
    Adachi Fourth Public High School
[03:13] ---
    The super-dangerous action that I sealed away
    from the trauma I suffered after debuting...

[03:17] ---
    Masamune Izumi Autograph Event
[03:17] ---
    Egosurfing.
[03:22] ---
    I debuted as a light novel author
    right around when I entered middle school.

[03:26] ---
    And for the three years since,
    my trusty partner who draws really erotic art,

[03:27] ---
    Silverwolf of Reincarnation 3
[03:30] ---
    Eromanga-sensei, has been working with me.
[03:32] ---
    I really recommend this book!
[03:33] ---
    I have yet to meet this partner of mine.
[03:35] ---
    And the other day,
[03:37] ---
    I had my first autograph session
    commemorating the series completion.

[03:40] ---
    "Silverwolf of Reincarnation"
    Series Completion Commemoration
    Autograph Session - Author, Masamune Izumi
[03:41] ---
    My pen name is also "Masamune Izumi".
    I just wrote my first name in katakana.

[03:46] ---
    I showed my face
    during the autograph session.

[03:48] ---
    So there's a chance my classmates
    might have realized.

[03:56] ---
    Looks like I'm okay for no—
[03:58] ---
    [TERRIBLE NEWS] Masamune Izumi-sensei's
    autograph is too messy lolololol
[04:03] ---
    Come on now,
    stuff like that happens all the time.
[04:06] ---
    If you ask me, it's the price of fame.
[04:08] ---
    I'm really not that famous, though.
[04:11] ---
    Dissing someone like you, Mune-kun, isn't
    going to increase page views on a blog, either.
[04:16] ---
    Tomoe, what you're saying is even worse.
[04:19] ---
    Mune-kun, Mune-kun.
[04:21] ---
    I was just looking at that post.
[04:23] ---
    Isn't this the blog of the "sensei"
    who draws illustrations for your novels?
[04:27] ---
    Eromanga-sensei's Doodling Blog
    "At the Tip of the Panties"
[04:28] ---
    Wait, you're right.
[04:30] ---
    What is this guy doing?
[04:32] ---
    Eromanga-sensei sure disses you
    in a strangely happy fashion, don't you think?
[04:36] ---
    The materials aren't here yet.
    These settings are hard to understand!
    He can write fast though (lol)
[04:38] ---
    Mune-kun, did you do something
    to this person?
[04:40] ---
    No! I think.
[04:43] ---
    I mean, I haven't even met the guy yet.
[04:45] ---
    Despite working together for three years?
[04:47] ---
    My editor said she's never met this guy, either.
[04:49] ---
    Apparently all the work
    is done over the internet.
[04:53] ---
    A work style of the modern era!
[04:56] ---
    Maybe the guy found out
    I complained about the lewd pen name?
[04:59] ---
    But you have to think about how I feel with
    each cover showing "Art: Eromanga".
[05:04] ---
    Hey, Mune-kun. Eromanga-sensei
    is going to do live streaming later today.
[05:11] ---
    Why don't you take a look?
[05:14] ---
    I'm home!
[05:17] ---
    A live streaming, huh?
[05:21] ---
    Yeah, yeah, got it!
[05:25] ---
    Wait just a second!
[05:30] ---
    Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got it, I got it!
[05:34] ---
    Sagiri.
[05:39] ---
    When you're done eating,
    leave the dishes outside the room!
[05:43] ---
    Please give me requests on what foods
    you want to eat. From, Your Brother.
[05:48] ---
    All right, let's see what kind of person this is.
[05:50] ---
    NiyaNiya Live
[05:51] ---
    - my one and only fun
    - It started lolol

[05:51] ---
    Well, good evening, everyone.
    Thanks for coming today!

[05:53] ---
    - To think it would go for 16 episodes!
    - Meruru is mai waifu

[05:54] ---
    Eromanga-sensei's
    Let's chat while I draw Part 16
[05:55] ---
    - Meruruuu!
    - Ero!! Lolol

[05:55] ---
    Best erotic artist of the century,
    EROMANGA-SENSEI
[05:56] ---
    - looking forward to this!!
    - it's here! lolol

[05:57] ---
    I-I don't know anyone by that name!
[05:58] ---
    - gimme mai waifu again today
    - the old man that draws erotic art's here!

[05:59] ---
    You're "Eromanga" because
    you keep drawing erotic stuff, right?
[06:01] ---
    I'm telling you, that's not it! You guys
    always keep saying ero, ero, ero, ero!

[06:01] ---
    Wow, this guy is directly communicating
    with the fans. I might be a little jealous.
[06:06] ---
    So, today's art won't be that erotic.
[06:06] ---
    - What will you draw?
    - Hurry up.

[06:10] ---
    I'll be drawing Beniusagi,
[06:12] ---
    - Nice seeing you
    - Gimme an erotic one

[06:12] ---
    a girl from Masamune Izumi-sensei's
    "Silverwolf of Reincarnation"!

[06:14] ---
    - It started!
    - Illustrations incoming!

[06:16] ---
    She's my favorite character! Though,
    Izumi-sensei killed her off in volume three.

[06:19] ---
    Silverwolf of Reincarnation
[06:22] ---
    Ugh, sorry. Come to think, she did
    seem to be Eromanga-sensei's favorite.
[06:27] ---
    Izumi-sensei is a really terrible person.
[06:32] ---
    He mercilessly killed off
    such a cute girl like her.
[06:35] ---
    I couldn't help it. It's a battle-focused series.
[06:41] ---
    HmHm. So that's how to structure this...
[06:44] ---
    Oh, thanks for the comments.
[06:44] ---
    - I want to see the final picture now!
    - Beniusagi is so cute lolol

[06:46] ---
    Sorry for not going to the autograph session
    to celebrate the conclusion of Silverwolf.

[06:47] ---
    - excited-!
    - I went there!

[06:48] ---
    - I went to the autograph session
    - It was fun!

[06:49] ---
    I can't show my face in public.
[06:51] ---
    Is Izumi-sensei a beautiful
    grade-school girl like the rumors say?
[06:51] ---
    - I wanted to see you too, Eromanga-sensei!
    - Can't show face in public.

[06:53] ---
    Shut up. I've never met Izumi-sensei
    so I wouldn't know.

[06:55] ---
    - It was fun!
    - I went!

[06:58] ---
    By the way, I saw Izumi-sensei's autograph
[06:58] ---
    - I want to see Izumi-sensei, too!
    - Beniusagi, so cute lolol

[07:00] ---
    in a signed copy to show
    at the autograph session.

[07:01] ---
    - You're actually an old man, right?
    - Good erotic level.

[07:03] ---
    The handwriting was so awful,
    I had to put it up on my blog.

[07:06] ---
    Masamune Izumi / My regards!
[07:08] ---
    Shut up!
[07:11] ---
    And there we go, done!
[07:14] ---
    - Hard worker!
    - Fast drawing as always

[07:14] ---
    "When you speak your dreams,
    you should laugh!!"
[07:15] ---
    - Super cute
    - Amazinggg

[07:16] ---
    - so erotic!!
    - butt! lololol

[07:16] ---
    That's it for today.
    Thank you for watching!

[07:17] ---
    - best ever
    - her butt lolololol

[07:19] ---
    Now, which character
    should I draw in the next stream?

[07:22] ---
    - Beniusagi, naked version
    - something erotic!

[07:23] ---
    Wait, you guys don't stammer all at once!
    Hold on a second!

[07:24] ---
    - can it be a current season anime?
    - such a tease~~

[07:25] ---
    - anything, as long as it's erotic
    - Kinjishi-chan

[07:27] ---
    It's him!!
[07:27] ---
    - it's a mask, lol
    - Old man, don't push yourself too hard.

[07:28] ---
    Pick from one of these.
[07:30] ---
    So this is Eromanga-sensei.
[07:34] ---
    I'd like it to be from something
    I've worked on...

[07:38] ---
    Please give me requests on what foods
    you want to eat. From, Your Brother.
[07:40] ---
    What does this mean?
[07:41] ---
    That's what I made earlier.
[07:44] ---
    A coincidence? No, I'm positive.
[07:46] ---
    What's being shown here is... my home?
[07:51] ---
    Could this be my little sister?
[07:54] ---
    Is that even possible?
    What's the probability for that?

[07:59] ---
    "Are you Sagiri?"
[08:00] ---
    Wait, I can't disclose her real name!
[08:02] ---
    "I'm watching. -Your Brother"
[08:03] ---
    No, wait.
    "Come out of your room"
[08:05] ---
    No!
[08:06] ---
    Well then, I'm planning
    to stream again tomorrow.

[08:08] ---
    - Goodnight!
    - Beniusagi is the best!!

[08:09] ---
    Come watch again! Bye-bye!
[08:14] ---
    - Camera, camera!!
    - forgot to turn it off?

[08:14] ---
    Hey, you're still on screen lolol
[08:17] ---
    Oh, that was fun!
[08:17] ---
    - hey, Eromanga-sensei
    - Wait, seriously?

[08:17] ---
    what an entertainer lololol
[08:19] ---
    - The true face of Eromanga-sensei??
    - The mask!!

[08:19] ---
    Oof.
[08:21] ---
    - Meruru- lololol
    - How old is this old man

[08:21] ---
    Oh yeah, I was hungry,
    but I forgot to eat my meal.

[08:23] ---
    It's just an old man, right?
[08:23] ---
    - you're kidding me lolol
    - time to disclose the true form lolol

[08:25] ---
    - those are unexpectedly cute socks.
    - I don't wanna see a naked old man!

[08:26] ---
    I don't want to see a dude strip.
[08:28] ---
    This could be bad.
[08:37] ---
    It's not coming off.
[08:42] ---
    Dammit, you're not on screen! Come back!
[08:42] ---
    - the usual parka lolol
    - I can see Eromanga-sensei naked

[08:44] ---
    Oh no, no, no, no, no!
[08:46] ---
    This is all too bad!
[08:49] ---
    If Eromanga-sensei is Sagiri,
[08:51] ---
    my little sister's strip show
    will be broadcast to the entire world!

[08:56] ---
    Stop! Camera! You forgot to turn it off!
[09:00] ---
    A family intrusion!
[09:00] ---
    You're totally making a blunder!
[09:00] ---
    - Oh no, it's the dad!
    - Just a little bit more!

[09:05] ---
    It's off.
[09:08] ---
    I guarded it.
    I guarded the nudity of my little sister.
[09:23] ---
    Nice to meet you, Big Brother.
[09:29] ---
    It's been a while, Big Brother.
[09:33] ---
    It was my first reunion
    with my little sister in a year.

[09:42] ---
    It's been a while.
[09:44] ---
    Has it been like a year?
[09:46] ---
    You're Eromanga-sensei?
[09:50] ---
    That stream earlier...
[09:54] ---
    That wasn't you?
[09:55] ---
    I don't know anyone by that name.
[09:57] ---
    I can't hear you.
[09:59] ---
    I...
[10:00] ---
    I don't know anyone by that name.
[10:02] ---
    Then why did you pick a pen name like that?
[10:08] ---
    Whoa!
[10:10] ---
    Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!
[10:13] ---
    Let go!
[10:14] ---
    Aren't you Eromanga-sensei, who drew
    illustrations for "Silverwolf of Reincarnation"?
[10:19] ---
    I-I'm not...
[10:20] ---
    That's amazing!
[10:23] ---
    That stream earlier.
    That illustration was really really cute!
[10:26] ---
    So many of your fans were watching, too,
    and you made them all happy.
[10:30] ---
    You've been doing some amazing things.
[10:32] ---
    Your...
[10:45] ---
    Your illustrations are really erotic.
[10:49] ---
    A-And Sagiri, actually, I-I...
[10:52] ---
    No!
[11:01] ---
    Go away!
[11:09] ---
    Dammit. This is the beginning.
[11:15] ---
    I'm sorry, Izumi-sensei.
[11:20] ---
    I've been really busy lately!
[11:22] ---
    I'm in charge of so many hit titles that I've only
    slept for two hours the past two nights!
[11:29] ---
    What's this?
[11:30] ---
    Project proposals for my new series. I have
    two titles, and they're finished to volume three.
[11:35] ---
    Proposals?
[11:36] ---
    This one is a superpower school battle series
    like the previous one.
[11:40] ---
    And this is an adventure
    in an alternate universe.
[11:42] ---
    Wait, these are complete manuscripts!
[11:44] ---
    I thought that would be faster.
[11:46] ---
    I told you the other day to submit something
    that conveys the plot in 10 seconds!
[11:50] ---
    Did you?
[11:52] ---
    Sheesh. You sure do write fast, if anything.
[11:55] ---
    And this is the script
    for when it turns into an anime.
[11:59] ---
    Are you dumb!?
[12:02] ---
    Izumi-sensei, you sure changed
    from about a year ago.
[12:06] ---
    Oh, I used to do this
    as an extension of my hobby.
[12:10] ---
    I wrote stories that I thought were fun to read,
[12:12] ---
    and it felt good to have everyone else
    read and enjoy them.
[12:17] ---
    But now...
[12:18] ---
    I need money.
[12:20] ---
    It's a commonplace reason.
[12:23] ---
    Isn't that okay, though?
[12:24] ---
    That's an ordinary reason
    for someone who writes for a living.
[12:27] ---
    If it leads to your motivation,
    I don't care what it is.
[12:30] ---
    Oh, there's one more thing
    that will motivate you, Sensei.
[12:41] ---
    The "Silverwolf" series that ended the other day
    is the title that I'm known for right now.

[12:44] ---
    Autograph session - Author, Masamune Izumi
[12:46] ---
    And I don't think I'll continue the story.
[12:49] ---
    But!
[12:50] ---
    Sagiri!
[12:56] ---
    The guys I thought I'd never meet again
    were all waving at me.

[12:58] ---
    Congrats "Silverwolf of Reincarnation" completion
    Art: Eromanga
[13:00] ---
    And they all looked like they were saying,
    "See ya! Let's keep our spirits up!"

[13:05] ---
    That made me happy, so...
[13:08] ---
    Sagiri! Eromanga-sensei!
[13:11] ---
    Listen to me!
[13:14] ---
    I am Masamune Izumi, the author
    of "Silverwolf of Reincarnation"!
[13:22] ---
    Really?
[13:23] ---
    Big Brother, you're Masamune Izumi?
[13:27] ---
    The author of "Silverwolf of Reincarnation"?
[13:30] ---
    Y-Yeah, that's right.
[13:31] ---
    And you're Eromanga-sensei, right?
[13:35] ---
    I don't know anyone by that name.
[13:40] ---
    I-Is that bad?
[13:44] ---
    Of course it's not bad.
[13:46] ---
    I finally met you!
[13:49] ---
    Come in.
[13:53] ---
    Didn't you hear me? I said, "Come in."
[13:56] ---
    It's okay?
[13:59] ---
    I-I said it's okay.
[14:02] ---
    I-I see. All right.
[14:16] ---
    - It's pretty tidy in here.
    - Yeah.
[14:19] ---
    Good girl.
[14:21] ---
    ...Don't.
[14:22] ---
    "Don't treat me like a child?"
[14:24] ---
    Don't touch me.
[14:27] ---
    Sit there.
[14:28] ---
    "Touch me there"?
[14:30] ---
    Sit! There!
[14:32] ---
    Sure!
[14:42] ---
    - So, why...
    - Huh?
[14:44] ---
    Ouch!
[14:46] ---
    Wh-Wh-What?
[14:47] ---
    I only got closer
    because you were speaking softly!
[14:56] ---
    Ahh...
[14:59] ---
    Is this okay?
[15:01] ---
    Y-Yeah. That will do.
[15:04] ---
    How did you figure it out?
[15:06] ---
    You mean, "How did you realize that I was
    the person behind Eromanga-sensei"?
[15:11] ---
    Yup.
[15:14] ---
    If not, I won't ever let you in.
[15:19] ---
    When you were streaming, the meal
    I made for you was in the background.
[15:24] ---
    You forgot to turn the camera off,
    and you started taking your clothes off...
[15:29] ---
    Th-That's enough. I get it now.
[15:33] ---
    So after all, Big Brother,
    you were "Masamune Izumi-sensei".
[15:38] ---
    "After all"? You had noticed?
[15:41] ---
    I was just thinking you had the same name.
[15:43] ---
    For it to actually be the same person...
    What kind of probability is that?
[15:48] ---
    To think that I've been living under
    the same roof as Eromanga-sensei.
[15:53] ---
    I can't believe it.
[15:55] ---
    And I don't know anyone by that name.
[15:59] ---
    Um, this is so sudden,
    and I don't know what to do.
[16:05] ---
    For starters, I'm sorry
    I made you draw all those lewd pictures!
[16:13] ---
    I-Idiot!
[16:17] ---
    Don't suddenly shout so loudly, idiot!
[16:21] ---
    Y-You're the idiot! Lewd pervert!
    Even the other day...
[16:26] ---
    Your illustrations are really erotic.
[16:28] ---
    You can't just say that to a girl, s-so suddenly!
[16:32] ---
    Do you have to get that angry?
[16:34] ---
    I was talking about how I was requesting
    lewd illustrations from my little sister!
[16:38] ---
    L-Lewd illustrations are my job,
    and I like it, so it's okay!
[16:42] ---
    But you can't talk about stuff like that!
[16:44] ---
    Why?
[16:48] ---
    Th-That's...
[16:49] ---
    Big Brother, you idiot! Dunce!
    Light-novel protagonist!
[16:54] ---
    Fine. I won't say it again.
[16:58] ---
    It's fine if you understand.
[17:01] ---
    I-In the first place, Big Brother,
    you're all sorts of no good.
[17:06] ---
    All sorts?
[17:07] ---
    F-For instance...
[17:08] ---
    That's right!
    You stay at home too much on days off!
[17:11] ---
    Writing is my side job,
    so of course I'd be home working!
[17:15] ---
    Even during summer vacation?
[17:17] ---
    Right.
[17:21] ---
    Back then, everything I wrote was getting
    turned down, so I pulled a lot of all-nighters.
[17:24] ---
    So I forgot to make you meals.
[17:27] ---
    The despair I felt when meals didn't arrive
    even after thumping the floor...
[17:31] ---
    ...do you know how that feels, Big Brother?
[17:33] ---
    Come out of your room and eat.
[17:35] ---
    I think I've lost if I leave my room!
[17:37] ---
    Even if you say it like a famous quote,
    it's not cool.
[17:41] ---
    By the way, I noticed
    you blog and stream stuff.
[17:46] ---
    I-Is that bad?
[17:47] ---
    It's not bad. But it was slightly unexpected.
[17:51] ---
    You weren't the person I knew,
    and you were really lively.
[17:57] ---
    What's wrong?
[17:59] ---
    It's fun. Drawing art, and chatting
    with everyone while streaming.
[18:04] ---
    I want to hear more stuff like that.
[18:06] ---
    I hardly know anything about you.
[18:11] ---
    The reason why I started drawing illustrations
    was because Mom taught me.
[18:16] ---
    I was naturally doing nothing but drawing
    since I was little...
[18:20] ---
    And I was a professional before I knew it.
[18:22] ---
    Mom complimented me,
    saying it was amazing.
[18:26] ---
    After Mom was gone,
[18:28] ---
    I couldn't draw at all.
[18:30] ---
    And I couldn't leave my room.
[18:35] ---
    But one day, I saw someone streaming.
[18:38] ---
    That person was happily drawing
    while chatting with everyone.
[18:42] ---
    I was jealous.
[18:43] ---
    I wanted to be like that, and tried it out.
[18:48] ---
    I see.
[18:50] ---
    It was really fun.
[18:52] ---
    After seeing the illustrations, they give me
    their opinions, like "so cute", "so amazing".
[18:57] ---
    They ask me to draw more.
[18:59] ---
    I'm still in my room,
[19:01] ---
    but I can play and chat with people
    all over the world like we're friends.
[19:05] ---
    That, really, really makes my heart race.
[19:10] ---
    I see. It's the same for me.
[19:13] ---
    The reason I became an author
[19:15] ---
    was because the people posting their novels
    on the internet seemed to have fun.
[19:19] ---
    There was a time when I wrote novels
    on the web, too.
[19:21] ---
    And, I got my first fan mail ever.
[19:21] ---
    That was a great story!
    I drew a picture of the Hero Masamune!
[19:24] ---
    That made me so happy.
    I was really, really happy.
[19:28] ---
    That's why I'm here right now.
[19:30] ---
    The Adventures of Hero Masamune
    Congrats on the Completion!
[19:31] ---
    I wonder if that person
    still reads my novels today.
[19:35] ---
    I see, so Izumi-sensei, you too...
[19:39] ---
    "Sensei"?
[19:40] ---
    Oh, n-nothing!
    I knew you wrote novels on the web!
[19:45] ---
    I-I see. But to think I'd see the day
    where I could talk to you like this.
[19:51] ---
    Big Brother, why are you bothering me?
[19:55] ---
    You should just leave me alone.
[19:58] ---
    I'm just...
[20:02] ---
    Do I trouble you?
[20:03] ---
    T-Trouble...
[20:05] ---
    It's because you're my little sister.
[20:08] ---
    And Mom asked me to take good care of you.
[20:12] ---
    Is that your reason?
[20:14] ---
    I still don't know what counts
    as taking good care of you.
[20:18] ---
    So I just do things that I feel
    would count as such.
[20:21] ---
    I don't get it at all.
[20:23] ---
    Other than that, I'm just lonely, after all.
[20:25] ---
    I'd like to eat meals together
    with my cute little sister.
[20:28] ---
    And I want to take care of her, too.
[20:32] ---
    Even a troublesome little sister like this,
    who hardly ever talks to you?
[20:36] ---
    So you were aware of that.
[20:40] ---
    I want us to get along.
[20:44] ---
    Because we're family.
[20:47] ---
    Are we a family?
[20:50] ---
    Of course. We live together like this.
[20:57] ---
    I see. I don't see it that way.
[21:03] ---
    You don't call people
    merely living together a family.
[21:11] ---
    I don't want to talk anymore.
    Get out, Big Brother.
[21:15] ---
    Sure thing.
[21:20] ---
    Sagiri.
[21:22] ---
    What?
[21:24] ---
    This illustration made me really happy.
[21:27] ---
    Let's do our best together next time, too!
[21:31] ---
    How stupid. That was something
    I only drew out of a sense of obligation.
[23:21] ---
    Yes?
[23:26] ---
    I'm Megumi Jinno!
[23:28] ---
    Is Sagiri-chan here?
