[00:11] ---
    All right, it's done!
[00:15] ---
    I guess I pulled an all-nighter.
[00:18] ---
    The last time I wrote a novel for fun
[00:20] ---
    was when I was publishing on the web.
[02:17] ---
    That was so interesting!
[02:23] ---
    U-Um, Masamune-kun? Wh-When did you...
[02:27] ---
    I've been here for quite a while now.
[02:30] ---
    What a blunder.
[02:32] ---
    "Dragon Brain"
    Masamune Izumi
[02:35] ---
    All right.
[02:36] ---
    Sorry about that.
[02:38] ---
    I had lost my composure a bit there.
[02:40] ---
    How was my "shelved" story?
[02:43] ---
    It really was interesting!
[02:46] ---
    It makes me happy when you say that.
[02:48] ---
    It was so interesting,
    I just kept reading right here.
[02:52] ---
    By the way, what about you?
[02:54] ---
    I pulled an all-nighter writing this.
[02:54] ---
    "Silverwolf of Reincarnation
    After-Story"
    Masamune Izumi
[02:57] ---
    This is...
[02:59] ---
    The new piece I promised you yesterday.
[03:01] ---
    The continuation of Silverwolf!
    That was quick!
[03:06] ---
    And it's really thick, too. This is like a dream!
[03:10] ---
    I will read it right away!
    Thank you, Masamune-kun!
[03:20] ---
    To Beloved Izumi-sensei
[03:25] ---
    Masamune, wake up.
[03:28] ---
    Come on, wake up.
[03:35] ---
    If you don't get up soon,
    I'll play a trick on you.
[03:39] ---
    H-Hey, what are you...
[03:42] ---
    Data. Just gathering data.
    We did some yesterday, right?
[03:46] ---
    Collecting data on typical situations
    by acting them out.
[03:48] ---
    Punishment!
[03:54] ---
    That was a close one, Masamune-kun.
[03:56] ---
    S-Senpai, what's with that outfit?
[04:00] ---
    Actually, I was helping out
    preparing some breakfast.
[04:03] ---
    I cannot have that Yankee
    dominating the honor of home-cooked meals.
[04:11] ---
    Damn this girl with 8th Grade Syndrome.
[04:12] ---
    How dare you interrupt at such a timing.
[04:15] ---
    More like, stop calling Elf a Yankee!
[04:18] ---
    Senpai, you can cook?
[04:21] ---
    Well, I can cook as much as anyone else.
[04:23] ---
    I cannot make feasts like the one last night.
[04:26] ---
    But, I think I can put up a fight against
    the Yankee if it is Japanese food.
[04:30] ---
    I'll be looking forward to it.
[04:33] ---
    Y-Yeah. It will be ready soon,
    so please come to the dining room.
[04:40] ---
    It looks like this is my loss.
[04:45] ---
    Emily?
[04:46] ---
    Y-Yes?
[04:58] ---
    U-Um, M-Masamune?
[05:02] ---
    I-I just tried saying it.
[05:05] ---
    Don't surprise me like that!
[05:07] ---
    Do you want to die!?
[05:08] ---
    Don't get so mad about it.
[05:10] ---
    Of course I'll get mad!
[05:11] ---
    I told you to use that name only
    when you're going to propose to me!
[05:15] ---
    Why are you using it so lightheartedly!?
[05:17] ---
    Sorry. You were so calm right now.
[05:21] ---
    It felt like yesterday's thing was a dream.
[05:24] ---
    It wasn't a dream! I tried so hard, too!
[05:27] ---
    I'd be furious if it never even happened!
[05:30] ---
    I'm really sorry, as you can see!
[05:33] ---
    Oh, it's fine. Let's head out to the beach
    after we eat breakfast.
[05:38] ---
    We all played together yesterday,
    so let's do some work today.
[05:43] ---
    After we eat breakfast,
    it's time for slightly lewd beach swim part 2!
[05:48] ---
    We'll have barbeque for lunch, and then a
    strolling date with Elf-sensei in the Fairy Forest.
[05:53] ---
    After the sun sets, we have a courage test
    and fireworks, and the night will be tee-hee...
[06:00] ---
    Pardon my little sister.
[06:02] ---
    O-Oh no, I'm used to it.
[06:06] ---
    Now, Sensei, let's put
    some effort in until breakfast.
[06:10] ---
    That game supervision is so behind
    it's not even funny.
[06:13] ---
    No! Help me, Masamune! I didn't come
    to an island on the south seas to work! No!
[06:32] ---
    You look so amused reading that.
[06:35] ---
    Yes. It is the epitome of amusement.
[06:37] ---
    When I see you happily reading,
    somehow it makes me happy as well.
[06:43] ---
    Hm? What, what? Do you have
    the hots for Muramasa or something?
[06:47] ---
    You gonna date her? Or even marry her?
[06:49] ---
    That is an enticing suggestion,
    but probably impossible.
[06:53] ---
    Muramasa-san seems to be
    in love with someone else.
[06:58] ---
    Wh-Why do you know that as well?
[07:01] ---
    Why do you think we don't know?
[07:04] ---
    The story you submitted to
    the Light-novel Tenkaichi Budoukai
[07:07] ---
    was about you and Masamune, right?
[07:09] ---
    If you read that, it's a no-brainer.
[07:11] ---
    That means... M-My readers also...
[07:14] ---
    Muramasa-chan, I'm sure word of your pure,
    first love went around to all your readers, too.
[07:20] ---
    "Muramasa-sensei is confessing
    her love through a story! So cute!" and stuff.
[07:27] ---
    Actually, the "search for Muramasa-sensei's
    partner" is causing quite a stir on the internet!
[07:34] ---
    Oh, and there was a round-up
    on the internet with the title,
[07:38] ---
    "Muramasa Senju-sensei's First Love".
[07:41] ---
    To tell the truth,
    I was the one who made that round-up!
[07:44] ---
    You really are the worst.
[07:48] ---
    I do not care anymore!
[07:52] ---
    Fine! Now that the cat is out of the bag,
    there is no choice!
[07:56] ---
    Listen up, all of you!
[07:58] ---
    I am in love with Masamune-kun!
[08:00] ---
    I do not feel embarrassed at all
    with these romantic feelings!
[08:06] ---
    Senpai, you're awesome!
[08:10] ---
    But please stop, because it embarrasses me!
[08:14] ---
    While we are at it, I shall disclose everything!
[08:17] ---
    I went along with the Yankee's ploy
    to come to this island
[08:20] ---
    not just to read Masamune-kun's
    "shelved" stories!
[08:24] ---
    She...
[08:26] ---
    She said I can sit next to Masamune-kun
    on the rides to and from the island!
[08:31] ---
    A-And, there might be chances
    to chat all alone if we went on a trip together.
[08:40] ---
    Okay, okay.
[08:41] ---
    Masamune, don't be fooled
    by Muramasa's simple cuteness!
[08:46] ---
    When she's alone in her room, I'm pretty sure
    she mumbles with an imaginary-Masamune.
[08:52] ---
    Yup. I see. That's how it is for you,
    Masamune-kun.
[08:56] ---
    For Me? Me... well, hehe, that's a secret.
[09:02] ---
    Of all things, that can't be true.
[09:04] ---
    Right, Muramasa-senpai?
[09:06] ---
    H-How did you know that?
[09:08] ---
    W-Wait, it's true?
[09:11] ---
    Is that... bad?
[09:13] ---
    Sorry. Can you stop doing that?
[09:16] ---
    Oh, no!
[09:23] ---
    I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'd like
    Yamada-sensei to concentrate on her work.
[09:29] ---
    Okay.
[09:54] ---
    Looks like you're done reading.
[09:56] ---
    Just like you said,
    it was a "super-interesting piece of junk"!
[10:00] ---
    Wasn't it?
[10:03] ---
    What is a "super-interesting piece of junk"?
[10:07] ---
    A story where all the characters who died
    in the Silverwolf series comes back to life,
[10:11] ---
    and lives happily ever after.
[10:13] ---
    What a piece of junk!
[10:17] ---
    But it was interesting, huh?
[10:19] ---
    Yes.
[10:22] ---
    This was what I've been wanting to read.
[10:26] ---
    Thank you, Senpai.
[10:31] ---
    I'm sorry, but I will be away for about an hour.
[10:35] ---
    Don't you dare goof off while I'm gone.
[10:38] ---
    Yes, Big Brother.
[10:40] ---
    I will never goof off from my work, not at all!
[10:53] ---
    Hurray!
[10:54] ---
    Everyone, it's time to play!
[10:57] ---
    If you don't do your work,
    won't you get scolded later?
[11:00] ---
    Just a little bit! Come on, come on, please!
[11:05] ---
    All right. Just a little bit.
[11:08] ---
    Hurray!
[11:09] ---
    I really love how you are so easily persuaded!
[11:12] ---
    Then, what shall we do?
    Something that ends quickly would be good.
[11:17] ---
    Then, we should play the King's Game!
[11:19] ---
    Huh? Th-The King's Game?
[11:22] ---
    Muramasa, you're going to play, too.
[11:25] ---
    No, but I...
[11:30] ---
    Listen up, Muramasa-chan.
    In a King's Game....
[11:34] ---
    And there, you can make Masamune...
[11:36] ---
    Oh my, such a thing is possible?
[11:41] ---
    M-Masamune-kun,
    we shall play the King's Game!
[11:45] ---
    We'll use these instead of picking straws.
[11:51] ---
    Okay, all of you, draw a card.
[11:54] ---
    You're the King if you draw a King card.
[11:56] ---
    You can give any command to the people
    who drew the numbers from 1 to 3.
[12:03] ---
    Oh, I'm the King!
[12:08] ---
    What should the first command be?
[12:17] ---
    First, let's try things out.
[12:18] ---
    Number 1...
[12:21] ---
    ...kisses number 2!
[12:23] ---
    Hey!
[12:29] ---
    Damn you! That wasn't the plan
    you discussed with me!
[12:31] ---
    And I even told you my number!
[12:33] ---
    Hey, planning things out beforehand is unfair!
[12:38] ---
    Since one person dropped out, we will replenish
    one member to resume the game.
[12:45] ---
    I heard there's a King's Game.
    I can't say no to that!

[12:50] ---
    But you can't pick a card over Skype, right?
    How would we do this?
[12:54] ---
    Then, let's just have
    Eromanga-sensei always be King.
[12:58] ---
    What, really? Is that okay?
[13:03] ---
    Okay, let's draw.
[13:10] ---
    All right. Make any command!
[13:13] ---
    From this instant, we are all...
[13:16] ---
    ...servants to the Great King Eromanga!
[13:19] ---
    I-I don't know anyone
    with such a dangerous name!

[13:23] ---
    Let's see...
    Number 3, take off a piece of clothing.
[13:28] ---
    That's me!
[13:31] ---
    Elf-chan, that's unfair.
    You've got a swimsuit on!

[13:37] ---
    I thought something like this might happen!
    I'm glad I was ready for it.
[13:41] ---
    So unfair! Though you look cute.
[13:45] ---
    All right, next turn, Great King Eromanga!
[13:51] ---
    Next...
[13:56] ---
    Number 1...
[13:59] ---
    ...tell me what kind of panties you're wearing.
[14:08] ---
    What's wrong? Muramasa-chan,
    what kind of panties are you wearing?

[14:13] ---
    Oh, I know! Muramasa, you must—
[14:18] ---
    If you say any further, I will kill you!
[14:22] ---
    Muramasa-chan, can it be that you're...
[14:25] ---
    ...not wearing panties?
[14:38] ---
    I-It is because, this kimono...
[14:40] ---
    It is because I am wearing a kimono!
[14:51] ---
    Hey, it's turned into a really awkward game
    because of you.
[14:57] ---
    Hey.
[15:02] ---
    Kunimitsu, you betrayed us!
[15:05] ---
    You tattled on Big Bro that we were goofing off
    and playing the King's Game!
[15:10] ---
    That's not it! I just happened
    to bump into Chris-san over there.
[15:15] ---
    I see. Sorry I doubted—
[15:17] ---
    Oh? So you were goofing off and playing
    the King's Game instead of working?
[15:23] ---
    You are so hopeless.
[15:26] ---
    Why don't you follow
    Muramasa-sensei's example a bit?
[15:29] ---
    Please don't compare me with someone
    who has stories
[15:33] ---
    springing out of her fingertips
    just by breathing.
[15:37] ---
    I am terribly sorry you had to play along
    with the whims of one of our authors.
[15:42] ---
    By the way, what you're writing there, Sensei,
    could it be Demon Sword volume 13?
[15:48] ---
    No, it's not.
[15:49] ---
    Rather...
[15:52] ---
    I won't write novels anymore.
[16:04] ---
    Wow, so amazing!
[16:05] ---
    Here, have some shrimp!
[16:07] ---
    This really goes well with the booze!
[16:08] ---
    You get just the shrimp!
[16:14] ---
    What in the whorrle ish going on!
[16:17] ---
    What are you talking about?
    Wait, are you okay?
[16:21] ---
    It seems like you're really drunk right now.
[16:23] ---
    I'm totawwy fwine!
[16:25] ---
    More like, what Muramasha-shan
    shaid earwier!
[16:31] ---
    What I said?
[16:32] ---
    Where you shaid
    you won't write novelsh any-moh!
[16:36] ---
    Are you sherioush?
[16:38] ---
    I am serious.
[16:40] ---
    No wai! Why're you gonna qwit?
[16:43] ---
    Because my dream came true.
[16:46] ---
    To acquire lots of stories I feel is the most
    interesting in the world. That was my dream.
[16:53] ---
    And I was writing novels for that dream.
[16:57] ---
    But, I realized something during this camp.
[17:02] ---
    If Masamune-kun writes novels for me like this,
    I no longer have to write any myself.
[17:10] ---
    But...
[17:12] ---
    There's nothing to worry about.
[17:14] ---
    A novel nut like her
    won't be able to stop writing.
[17:18] ---
    I mean, it won't even last overnight.
[17:21] ---
    When she sleeps and wakes up,
    she'll have second thoughts.
[17:24] ---
    That makes me sound like a nutcase!
[17:27] ---
    I just said you were a novel nut.
[17:30] ---
    Damn you.
[17:39] ---
    You seem to want to say something, Kouhai.
[17:41] ---
    Yeah. More like something I want to tell you
    rather than something I want to say.
[17:52] ---
    From: Hana Umezono
[17:52] ---
    Masamune-kun, what did you want to tell me?
[17:56] ---
    Before I do that,
    I wanted to show you something.
[17:59] ---
    From: Hana Umezono
    Chiba Prefecture
[18:00] ---
    What do you think this is?
[18:02] ---
    Th-That is...
[18:04] ---
    My most treasured of fan letters.
[18:06] ---
    I-I-I see... Oh, a fan letter, huh?
[18:12] ---
    There's someone who always sends me
    really passionate fan letters.
[18:17] ---
    The newest one I received had 50 pages in it.
    Isn't that amazing?
[18:21] ---
    From: Hana Umezono
    Chiba Prefecture
[18:22] ---
    The sender seems to be a middle-school girl.
[18:26] ---
    She even draws illustrations in colored pencil.
[18:30] ---
    Izumi-sensei,
    I'm always cheering for you.
    I drew Beniusagi-chan.
[18:31] ---
    D-Do you always carry
    your fan letters with you?
[18:35] ---
    I just got this from my editor. I brought it
    because I wanted to read it as soon as possible.
[18:42] ---
    That, and, I wanted to show it to you, Senpai.
[18:48] ---
    Ever since my debut,
    she has consistently sent me letters.
[18:53] ---
    I read them over and over again,
    and they've always cheered me up.
[18:57] ---
    Even when I couldn't publish anything,
    and times were rough.
[18:59] ---
    Even when my books had bad hype
    and I got depressed.
[19:02] ---
    Thanks to this person,
    I could hold my head high,
[19:06] ---
    knowing my stories were interesting
    and they were worth writing.
[19:10] ---
    Senpai.
[19:12] ---
    You were the one who sent me
    these fan letters, right?
[19:16] ---
    N-No, it was not me.
[19:19] ---
    You sent me the handwritten manuscript for
    Demon Sword volume 12 the other day, right?
[19:24] ---
    I noticed right away
    that the handwriting was identical.
[19:28] ---
    I can only think of one middle-school female fan
    of mine with such beautiful handwriting.
[19:36] ---
    If you have found me out,
    I guess it can't be helped.
[19:39] ---
    But what does that have to do
    with whatever you wanted to tell me?
[19:45] ---
    Thank you.
[19:48] ---
    For the longest time,
[19:50] ---
    I always wanted to tell you how I felt.
[19:54] ---
    To tell the person
    who enjoys my stores so much...
[20:09] ---
    And now, my wish I've had
    from when I debuted finally came true.
[20:14] ---
    Hold on a second.
[20:15] ---
    Your dream was to turn your novels
    into an anime,
[20:18] ---
    and watch it together
    with your little sister.
[20:22] ---
    Oh, I do have that, too. But, what I talked about
    just now is a different dream from that.
[20:29] ---
    A different dream? I-Is that really all right?
[20:34] ---
    Of course it's okay
    to have as many dreams as you want.
[20:38] ---
    So, don't you think it's a shame to stop writing
    just because one of your dreams came true?
[20:47] ---
    I don't think I'll stop writing
    even if that other dream comes true.
[20:52] ---
    Because I have someone who sends me
    fan letters that make me feel like
[20:56] ---
    I'm at least a million points out of a hundred.
[21:04] ---
    I made up my mind, Masamune-kun.
[21:06] ---
    Writing the most interesting novel in the world,
    and reading it myself...
[21:10] ---
    I will now try to make that wish come true
    with my own hands.
[21:15] ---
    That "I won't write novels" statement
    didn't last hours, let alone a whole night.
[21:25] ---
    That Yankee's predictions were totally off!
[21:30] ---
    And one more...
[21:33] ---
    Just now, I have found a new dream.
[21:38] ---
    What kind of dream?
[21:39] ---
    My "new dream" is something
    that I cannot turn into reality alone.
[21:47] ---
    I cannot give you the details, but...
[21:50] ---
    I know.
[21:54] ---
    For the time being, I shall have you...
[21:56] ---
    ...fall in love with me.
