[00:00] ---
    Big Brother,
    when will you be home?
    
    I'm at the Gotanno Station,
    so I'll be home soon.
[00:02] ---
    We-Wel-Welcome home!
[00:07] ---
    Welcome home, Big Brother!
[00:13] ---
    Welcome home, Big Brother.
[00:16] ---
    No!
[00:22] ---
    Welcome home, Big Brother.
[00:29] ---
    Okay!
[00:48] ---
    I'm home!
[00:55] ---
    Well, I guess that's expected.
[01:02] ---
    Sagiri, I'll leave the souvenirs
    from the beach here.
[01:08] ---
    Welcome home.
[01:09] ---
    Yeah.
[01:13] ---
    I'm sorry.
[01:16] ---
    For what?
[01:18] ---
    Nothing.
[01:19] ---
    Anyways, how was it?
    The beach... the trip!
[01:23] ---
    Yeah, it was fun. I got a lot of work done, too.
[01:28] ---
    And...
[01:30] ---
    This.
[01:34] ---
    A straw hat?
[01:36] ---
    Doesn't it feel like summer?
[01:38] ---
    And saying this might
    have the opposite effect, but...
[01:43] ---
    One day, when you're able
    to go outside again,
[01:47] ---
    let's go to the beach together.
[01:58] ---
    S-S-Sagiri!
[02:05] ---
    Don't make any lewd misunderstandings.
    It's a swimsuit!
[02:19] ---
    H-How is it? Does it look good?
[02:21] ---
    Uh... Um...
[02:24] ---
    Okay! That's it!
[02:27] ---
    Tell me what you think when we go for reals!
[02:33] ---
    Yeah.
[02:35] ---
    Let's go together someday.
[04:07] ---
    Celebrate!
    "The World's Cutest Little Sister"

    2017.9.9
    Written by: Masamune Izumi
    Illustration: Eromanga
[04:21] ---
    It goes on sale tomorrow!
    I'm so happy!
[04:26] ---
    Eromanga-sensei! Eromanga-sensei!
[04:29] ---
    I don't know anyone by that name!
[04:32] ---
    Whoa!
[04:34] ---
    What?
[04:35] ---
    Finally, tomorrow is the release date
    of our newest book!
[04:39] ---
    Yeah.
[04:40] ---
    A bookstore in Akiba is going to hold
    a "Masamune Izumi Faire" for it.
[04:44] ---
    Want to go check it out together?
[04:45] ---
    Together?
[04:48] ---
    I'll be going now!
[04:51] ---
    So, this is what you meant
    when you said "together".
[04:54] ---
    It's a sibling date.
[04:55] ---
    I-Idiot!
[04:59] ---
    Now I have my third series.
[05:02] ---
    It's been three years since I debuted.
    It felt long, yet short.
[05:09] ---
    Big Brother, you started writing novels...
[05:12] ---
    I think about five years ago.
[05:14] ---
    Back then, Mom had just passed away,
    and the entire house was gloomy.
[05:21] ---
    Masamune... Are you lonely?
[05:24] ---
    I'm...
[05:28] ---
    I'm not lonely! I'm fine!
[05:31] ---
    I see.
[05:33] ---
    But, I don't know.
[05:35] ---
    What should I do for my family?
[05:41] ---
    If you smile and live a joyous life,
    that's all we need.
[05:45] ---
    If you're happy, we're happy.
    Because we're family.
[05:52] ---
    Mom too?
[05:53] ---
    Yeah.
[05:56] ---
    Got it.
[05:58] ---
    Ever since, I did all sorts of things,
    thinking I had to find something I liked.
[06:02] ---
    Everything was fun,
    but I couldn't get engrossed into them.
[06:07] ---
    That's when I found people
    writing stories on the internet.

[06:11] ---
    They seemed to have fun.
[06:13] ---
    And I thought, maybe this is it.
[06:16] ---
    You got hooked?
[06:17] ---
    Yeah! It was super-duper fun.
[06:21] ---
    Why?
[06:22] ---
    There was a trigger for it.
[06:24] ---
    Oh, I see.
[06:29] ---
    By the way, what were you
    doing back then, Sagiri?
[06:32] ---
    Refusing to go to school.
[06:34] ---
    Because!
[06:36] ---
    After Mom and Dad got divorced,
[06:38] ---
    I didn't go to school for a while.
[06:41] ---
    How did Hamanoumi do?
[06:41] ---
    By "for a while", you mean that afterwards,
    you got over it and started going to school?
[06:43] ---
    I don't know. You talk about sumo wresting
    a lot, but I don't know much about it.
[06:46] ---
    Yeah, there was a trigger for it.
    I went to grade school properly.

[06:49] ---
    Eh? Why? Professional sumo is so amusing.
[06:52] ---
    Let's go to middle school properly, too.
[06:52] ---
    We're young enough to find...
[06:54] ---
    In due time.
[06:56] ---
    So, what was your trigger?
[06:59] ---
    That's a secret.
[07:03] ---
    Sagiri, you're going to be late for school.
[07:18] ---
    Hmm.

[08:45] ---
    I mean, it was the very first story
    I ever wrote,
[08:48] ---
    so it was worse than what I write now,
    and pretty cringeworthy.
[08:51] ---
    But, it was fun.
[08:53] ---
    "The Adventures
    of Masamune the Hero", right?
[08:56] ---
    You were reading it, too!?
[08:58] ---

    Completion of Story
[09:57] ---
    Yee-haw!
[09:58] ---
    Dad!
[10:00] ---
    I'm going to be a professional author!
[10:08] ---
    Well, that's rather sudden.
    Did something happen?
[10:11] ---
    I came to a realization.
[10:13] ---
    I was actually a genius!
[10:21] ---
    Why are you laughing?
[10:22] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[10:24] ---
    I know, hold on a sec.
[10:28] ---
    It just arrived, but I'll give it to you.
[10:32] ---
    Eh? But...
[10:33] ---
    You're going to be a professional author.
    You need one, right?
[10:38] ---
    Yeah!
[10:41] ---
    This is super awesome!
[10:47] ---
    That's what got me hooked onto novels.
[10:49] ---
    So that's how it was.
[10:51] ---
    There was someone who said
    the first story I ever wrote was interesting.
[10:56] ---
    There was someone who drew illustrations
    for the characters I created.

[11:03] ---
    It made me really happy,
    and it was super-duper fun.
[11:06] ---
    That's why I aimed to become a professional.
[11:11] ---
    The only thing that linked us together
    was the novel website's forums and e-mail.
[11:17] ---
    But I think we were friends.
[11:28] ---
    Did you watch the drama last night?
[11:30] ---
    Yeah, I saw it.
[11:31] ---
    The other day, that main character...
[11:43] ---
    Did you read my new piece?
[11:45] ---
    Not yet. I just woke up.
[11:47] ---
    What? You were still asleep?
[11:49] ---
    Are you by chance...
[11:50] ---
    a NEET?
[11:51] ---
    No way!
[11:53] ---
    Let's see.
[11:55] ---
    I-I'm a college student!
[11:56] ---
    I see. So you're an adult.
[11:59] ---
    Yeah! What about you?
[12:01] ---
    I'm 11!
[12:03] ---
    I see. You're younger than me.
[12:05] ---
    Sagiri, age 7, currently super in the middle of being a shut-in
[12:11] ---
    Hey, hey, Mom!
[12:13] ---
    Yes, what is it?
[12:16] ---
    I want to eat a Hamburg steak today!
[12:19] ---
    We'll see. I'll make some if ground meat
    is cheap at the supermarket today!
[12:29] ---
    I drew another illustration for you!
[12:32] ---
    Seriously? Thank you!
[12:34] ---
    Hey, you know, can I attach it
    to the story again and upload it?

[12:37] ---
    Go ahead, but it's terrible.
[12:39] ---
    That doesn't matter at all. I really love it!
[12:43] ---
    I see, then I'll draw more for you.
    You better be thankful!

[12:47] ---
    Thank you!
[12:48] ---
    More like, I'm basically the only one
    who reads your stories, anyway.

[12:53] ---
    Don't say that!
[12:55] ---
    Besides, the number of people
    reading my stuff is growing bit by bit lately!

[12:59] ---
    Oh? Is it thanks to my illustrations?
[13:01] ---
    It's because my stories are interesting!
[13:04] ---
    Out of Order
[13:11] ---
    So hot.
[13:15] ---
    Oh, geez!
[13:18] ---
    Hey, Sagiri. Wouldn't school
    be a cooler place to be?
[13:22] ---
    I'll never go. I rather be in a hot place.
[13:25] ---
    You're so stubborn.
[13:29] ---
    Ta-dah!
[13:30] ---
    What do you think?
[13:33] ---
    A picture like that
    doesn't make me want to lick her panties.
[13:37] ---
    Where did you learn stuff like that?
[13:46] ---
    A-Anyway, Sagiri, you've been
    working hard at drawing lately.
[13:50] ---
    Do you want me to teach you?
[13:53] ---
    Not really.
[13:56] ---
    Oh, I see.
[14:14] ---
    Hey, why did you want to start
    writing stories?

[14:17] ---
    - What's this so suddenly?
    - Just tell me.

[14:24] ---
    I only have a dad.
[14:29] ---
    Someone gets worried
    when I'm not enjoying life.

[14:34] ---
    So, I thought I had to find something
    I liked doing.

[14:37] ---
    Such a dreary reason.
    Is stuff like that interesting?

[14:40] ---
    It's super-duper interesting.
[14:42] ---
    Because you read what I write.
[14:46] ---
    I've gotten to like writing stories.
[14:48] ---
    I see.
[14:56] ---
    I-I'll be going now.
[15:21] ---
    Adachi Ward Sakuranoshita Elementary School's
    18th Graduation Ceremony
[15:22] ---
    Congrats on graduating!
[15:23] ---
    I might keep playing
    badminton in middle school.
[15:30] ---
    Yo!
[15:36] ---
    Izumi-sensei, isn't this
    a few too many manuscripts to submit?
[15:44] ---
    Hm? Huh?
[15:48] ---
    This is the work of a genius, see?
[15:49] ---
    I'm going to be a professional author.
[15:53] ---
    Wow, such confidence.
[15:54] ---
    Maybe it will be just as you say.
[15:58] ---
    Please send these!
[16:08] ---
    Goodnight
[16:08] ---
    Do you like drawing?
[16:12] ---
    What's this so suddenly?
[16:13] ---
    Just tell me.
[16:17] ---
    I like it, because there's someone
    who gets happy with what I draw.

[16:23] ---
    I see. Then, that's good.
[16:25] ---
    What's up with you?
[16:28] ---
    I'm going to be a professional author!
[16:32] ---
    What is this guy saying?
[16:35] ---
    Don't get so cocky. You suck.
[16:38] ---
    You said my stories were interesting!
[16:41] ---
    It's interesting. But there's no way
    you'd become a professional.

[16:45] ---
    I will! Because I'm a genius!
[16:49] ---
    Seriously, what is this guy saying?
[16:51] ---
    I just sent out a manuscript as a submission.
[16:58] ---
    Hmm, I see. So you're serious.
[17:01] ---
    Yeah, so...
[17:03] ---
    You should become a professional, too.
[17:06] ---
    And draw characters for me again.
[17:12] ---
    This past year was really fun.
[17:16] ---
    I got my first review,
    as well as my first illustration.

[17:20] ---
    I laughed a ton thanks to you.
[17:24] ---
    Me too.
[17:26] ---
    Let's do something
    even more interesting tomorrow, too!

[17:29] ---
    I'll become a professional author, and make
    tons of people read super-interesting books,

[17:34] ---
    and spend every day having fun!
[17:36] ---
    Hey, we should have fun together.
[17:42] ---
    That's some boasting.
[17:44] ---
    You don't even know if that'll come true.
[17:47] ---
    It will. I guarantee it as a genius.
[17:55] ---
    All right.
[17:57] ---
    I won't draw for your stories anymore.
[18:00] ---
    I won't send you e-mails either.
    You should stop contacting me, too.

[18:04] ---
    Why?
[18:06] ---
    I'm going to seriously start practicing
    how to draw from today.

[18:08] ---
    So that I can make the dream
    you just gave me, come true.

[18:17] ---
    We're going to make a book together,
    and live every day laughing, right?

[18:24] ---
    I'm not a genius, so I don't
    have any more time to play around with kids.

[18:33] ---
    From: Anonymous
[18:34] ---
    Then...
[18:36] ---
    I won't write novels
    as a hobby anymore, either.

[18:42] ---
    The next time
    we contact each other...

[18:45] ---
    ...will be when we both become professionals.
[18:55] ---
    Then, see ya.
[18:58] ---
    Yeah! See ya!
[19:03] ---
    All right, let's get to it!
[19:07] ---
    All right!
[19:16] ---
    Teach me how to draw!
[19:23] ---
    We're here!
[19:25] ---
    Akihabara!
[19:29] ---
    Amazing! It's just like I've seen in anime!
[19:32] ---
    I want a tour of Akiba first!
[19:34] ---
    Sure thing!
[19:40] ---
    Big Brother
    I love you!
[20:01] ---
    The World's Cutest Little Sister
[20:03] ---
    Look at that.
[20:05] ---
    "Eromanga", huh?
[20:07] ---
    I've gotten used to it already,
    Eromanga-sensei.
[20:10] ---
    I don't know anyone by that name!
[20:17] ---
    It's our book.
[20:19] ---
    Yeah.
[20:21] ---
    You know, Sagiri...
[20:23] ---
    Ever since I've been reunited with you,
    everything's been really fun.

[20:27] ---
    Me too.
[20:28] ---
    I laughed a lot.
[20:30] ---
    Me too.
[20:33] ---
    Izumi-sensei.
[20:34] ---
    Hmm?
[20:35] ---
    The first dream you've given me
    has come true.
[20:39] ---
    Let's make this dream come true, too.
[20:47] ---
    Yeah, for sure.
[20:50] ---
    The next time we contact each other...
[20:53] ---
    ...will be when we both become professionals.
[20:55] ---
    The World's Cutest Little Sister
[20:55] ---
    "And then, it was love at first sight......"
[21:02] ---
    I'm getting nervous.
[21:03] ---
    It's useless to fret at this time.
[21:06] ---
    Everyone who's read my new book...
[21:08] ---
    I hope they had fun reading it.
[21:13] ---
    What happened to that confidence
    you used to have?
[21:20] ---
    Hey, there's something
    I've been meaning to ask you for a while.
[21:23] ---
    Look at this light-novel!
[21:25] ---
    I'm sure it's going to be interesting!
[21:28] ---
    The illustration is super-cute, too.
    It looks like I can have high hopes for it!
[21:31] ---
    Indeed, that illustration
    has quite a powerful soul within it.
[21:35] ---
    But, who knows about the contents?
[21:37] ---
    The author of the book is someone I barely
    know about. A very minor-league author.
[21:38] ---
    - Now now, both of you, it is all fine.
    - Sheesh.
[21:42] ---
    Furthermore, it looks like
    he changed genres in this new series.
[21:45] ---
    Who knows if it will be interesting or not.
[21:47] ---
    Big Brother, just now...
[21:48] ---
    It's better than the novel you just bought,
    the original story for that crappy anime.
[21:49] ---
    Yeah.
[21:52] ---
    I pray the novel we created
    will be interesting for you, too.

[21:52] ---
    The original novels are interesting. Don't jump
    to conclusions just by watching the anime!
[22:11] ---
    I'm home!
[22:14] ---
    Sagiri, you...
[22:16] ---
    You can walk outside your room now?
[22:19] ---
    Just a little bit.
    I'm overexerting myself, though.
[22:29] ---
    I've been secretly practicing.
[22:34] ---
    I see. You've been putting in effort.
[22:37] ---
    Don't treat me like a child.
[22:39] ---
    Ugh, because you said something you didn't
    need to, I forgot about the main point.
[22:47] ---
    Welcome home, Big Brother. Congratulations
    on the release of the new novel.
[22:53] ---
    I'm home, Sagiri.
[22:54] ---
    Eromanga-sensei's illustrations
    are really the talk of the town.
[22:58] ---
    I-I don't know anyone by that—
[23:00] ---
    But I know.
[23:04] ---
    Thank you, as always.
[23:11] ---
    Then, see ya.
[23:14] ---
    Yeah! See ya!
[23:17] ---
    My regards for the future.
[23:25] ---
    The pleasure is mine!
