[00:02] ---
Izumi-chan!
[00:07] ---
Ready, set...
[00:08] ---
Izumi-chan!
[00:10] ---
Come to school!
[00:12] ---
All of us are waiting!
[00:14] ---
Wh-What the hell?
[01:47] ---
Izumi-chan!
[01:51] ---
Hey, stop that! Megumi!
[01:53] ---
Hey, Brother!
[01:55] ---
What are you doing?
[01:56] ---
What? I said before
that I'll come back with a new plan!
[02:01] ---
And this is it?
[02:03] ---
Yes. This should really touch
Izumi-chan's heart, and come to school—
[02:06] ---
She won't! More like she'll wrap herself
in a futon and sleep!
[02:09] ---
Get these guys out of here right now!
[02:16] ---
Well, I'd like all of you to go home.
[02:19] ---
Alright everyone, time to disperse!
[02:21] ---
Yay!
[02:23] ---
Hey! Hey!
[02:25] ---
See ya!
[02:27] ---
Bye-bye, Brother!
[02:29] ---
Yes, yes. Yay, yay.
[02:31] ---
Wait, you go home, too!
[02:32] ---
Before that, here you go.
[02:36] ---
A neighborhood circular?
[02:37] ---
It was placed on top of the gate.
Why won't they deliver it directly to you?
[02:42] ---
Oh, that's because there's a rumor
that this area is cursed.
[02:48] ---
A curse?
[02:50] ---
Misfortune has been continuing
for the past few years.
[02:53] ---
Our family for one, but our neighbor as well.
[02:57] ---
There once was a prolific author living there,
but passed away from illness.
[03:01] ---
It's been empty since.
[03:03] ---
They say you can hear the piano playing nightly,
and see a ghost in a white dress.
[03:07] ---
The community around here
calls it the haunted mansion.
[03:11] ---
A ghost in a white dress...
[03:14] ---
You mean that thing?
[03:18] ---
There's nothing there.
[03:19] ---
It hid behind the curtains just now.
[03:22] ---
Stop saying stuff like that.
[03:24] ---
No, no! I'm not a woman who tells lies!
[03:29] ---
Not that often.
[03:30] ---
It must have been your imagination. See ya!
[03:36] ---
It'd be nice if it were.
[03:39] ---
Really.
[03:43] ---
Hey, Sagiri, are you all right?
[03:48] ---
I hope what happened earlier
didn't traumatize her.
[03:52] ---
I'll make you some hot cocoa—
[04:02] ---
What's wrong?
[04:10] ---
Wh-Wh-Wh-What's wrong?
[04:13] ---
Did you get a crush on your big brother?
[04:16] ---
Gh-Ghost... piano...
[04:20] ---
Piano?
[04:21] ---
I was sulking in bed with my futon over me,
when from the neighbor's house...
[04:25] ---
B-But, the neighbor's house is empty.
[04:30] ---
I-I hear it. The sounds of a piano.
[04:33] ---
Go take a look, Big Brother!
[04:35] ---
N-No, no, no. This has to be a joke!
[04:37] ---
If I don't know what that is,
I'll be too scared to draw anything.
[04:42] ---
Okay! Leave it to your big brother!
[04:56] ---
Um, Neighbor?
[04:58] ---
I brought the neighborhood circular.
[05:11] ---
Elf Yamada?
[05:18] ---
Who's that! I don't have your manuscripts!
[05:20] ---
Yamada-san.
[05:21] ---
I'd like to ask a question.
Why were you playing the piano naked?
[05:27] ---
Where's my drawers? One knee-high sock,
two knee-high socks, one two, two shoes...
[05:31] ---
Wait, why am I wearing shoes
inside the house?
[05:35] ---
You peeping tom!
[05:38] ---
Wait! Masamune Izumi?
[05:40] ---
Hey there.
[05:42] ---
What is this? What's going on?
[05:44] ---
That's my line. Why are you naked
in a place like this?
[05:48] ---
Th-That... That's...
[05:51] ---
...my hobby!
[05:52] ---
Huh?
[05:53] ---
When you play a piano buck naked after a bath,
wonderful stories come to mind, don't they?
[05:59] ---
No way!
[06:00] ---
By the way, why are you playing
peeping tom in a place like this?
[06:04] ---
I came to deliver the neighborhood circular.
My house is next door.
[06:07] ---
Huh? Such a coincidence?
[06:10] ---
IZUMI
[06:11] ---
Stare...
[06:14] ---
E-Even if there was, you're the worst
to stare at a beautiful girl's naked body!
[06:18] ---
That's a misunderstanding!
[06:19] ---
I thought there was a ghost here,
and checked it out because I had to!
[06:23] ---
A ghost?
[06:24] ---
There were all sorts of rumors.
[06:26] ---
By the way, why are you here?
[06:30] ---
I moved here so I could participate
in the screenplay meetings for my anime.
[06:33] ---
Most anime production companies
are in Tokyo, right?
[06:37] ---
Sounds like a tough time.
[06:39] ---
Of course! But I can't help it,
I'm an author whose work turned into anime!
[06:43] ---
Because my work turned into anime!
[06:46] ---
This kid... Every time she opens her mouth,
it's anime, anime, anime...
[06:50] ---
By the way, this house
was a cash purchase, paid in full!
[06:53] ---
Paid in full!?
[06:55] ---
Yes. A cash purchase in full thanks to anime!
[06:58] ---
Isn't it something to buy a single-family home
in the metropolitan area at age 14?
[07:04] ---
By the way, Masamune Izumi.
[07:06] ---
If you insist, I can give you the honor of
stepping foot into my home, the Crystal Palace.
[07:14] ---
To be honest...
[07:16] ---
I am interested.
[07:20] ---
You should feel honored!
[07:21] ---
You are the very first guest to enter my castle!
[07:26] ---
Pardon me!
[07:29] ---
Is it all right? I heard rumors
that there are ghosts in this house.
[07:34] ---
There's no such thing.
[07:36] ---
If there really were,
I'll write about them in my novels!
[07:41] ---
Do you work down here?
[07:43] ---
I normally write in my studio upstairs.
[07:46] ---
Though, I sometimes write down here, too.
[07:51] ---
Wh-What are you imagining
while looking at that piano!?
[07:54] ---
Nothing! I've already forgotten about it!
[07:56] ---
Hmph! We'll see about that.
You can't forget it so easily!
[08:00] ---
It was my sacred full nudity!
[08:02] ---
Ever since I first met you, you've been
nothing but naked this, nudity that!
[08:06] ---
Are you in a "full nudity" religion
and worship the Naked God?
[08:09] ---
For an unknown author,
that is a metaphor pretty much on the dot.
[08:12] ---
That's right! Full nudity is the most
natural clothing God has given humanity!
[08:15] ---
Full nudity is the most supreme!
[08:18] ---
So that's why all the heroines in your books
completely strip down one after another.
[08:22] ---
Yes, isn't it wonderful? The readers love it, too!
[08:26] ---
You really don't understand
the romantic comedy genre.
[08:29] ---
Being naked is, in a way,
attire that your heart races to the least!
[08:32] ---
You're the one who doesn't get it.
[08:34] ---
That's exactly where my literary skills and
the illustrator's art skills showcase themselves.
[08:39] ---
Men are powerless before the power of erotica!
[08:42] ---
That's not true!
[08:43] ---
It is totally true.
[08:45] ---
My servants totally get it!
[08:48] ---
It's totally not true.
[08:49] ---
I still totally think it's crap
that you stripped your heroine naked
[08:52] ---
when she first appeared in your debut piece.
[08:56] ---
That's the law of the forest where if someone
of the opposite gender sees you naked,
[08:59] ---
you have to give your virginity to that person.
It's such an erotic, moe, and marvelous scene!
[09:03] ---
And that's why you don't get it!
[09:05] ---
Who do you think you are?
[09:06] ---
My books have sold
a hundredfold compared to yours!
[09:09] ---
A hundredfold is an exaggeration!
[09:12] ---
You're not more authoritative if you sell more.
[09:14] ---
Of course you'd be more authoritative!
[09:16] ---
Sales figures are combat powers for authors.
[09:19] ---
Bow before me, an Oricon #1 author!
[09:24] ---
WEEKLY LIGHT NOVEL RANKING CHART
[09:24] ---
You're #14 this week.
[09:27] ---
I-I was #1 last week!
[09:30] ---
Besides, "Dark Elf of Bursting Flame"
has sold over 2 million copies!
[09:34] ---
That's over tenfold my own sales...
[09:36] ---
But even then, I won't lose to you.
[09:39] ---
I won't yield Eromanga-sensei to you!
[09:44] ---
An unknown author with less than
a tenth of combat powers
[09:47] ---
compared to myself wishes to challenge me?
[09:49] ---
Yeah.
[09:50] ---
So? How do you want to challenge me?
[09:52] ---
Whether or not it's interesting.
[09:55] ---
A challenge of who writes
the more interesting novel.
[09:58] ---
The judge will be Eromanga-sensei.
[10:00] ---
The winner will get illustrations drawn
for a new title.
[10:02] ---
How's that?
[10:03] ---
That's fine.
[10:04] ---
I'll write a novel more interesting than yours,
and make Eromanga-sensei change heart.
[10:09] ---
And I will have the ultimate
insert art drawn for me!
[10:12] ---
And I'll blow you away
with a super-interesting new piece!
[10:17] ---
I won't give my partner away to you!
[10:22] ---
You're late!
[10:23] ---
Why didn't you! Come home! Immediately!
[10:27] ---
Were you scared all by yourself?
[10:29] ---
No, that's not it!
[10:32] ---
So there wasn't a problem?
[10:34] ---
Yeah, it's fine. It wasn't a ghost.
[10:38] ---
I see.
[10:39] ---
The sound of a piano was...
[10:41] ---
it was just the neighbor playing.
[10:44] ---
Neighbor?
[10:47] ---
What!?
[10:52] ---
It's fine, leave it to me.
[10:55] ---
What are you doing!?
[10:58] ---
It's me!
[10:59] ---
You made my little sister cry.
[11:02] ---
I-I'm not crying!
[11:03] ---
Why did you suddenly go home?
Don't you think it's rude?
[11:08] ---
What about you?
[11:09] ---
Playing a piano in a haunted mansion.
You're the one who's rude!
[11:12] ---
That's totally not true.
[11:14] ---
Because you saw me naked,
I'm the one who is totally more troubled.
[11:18] ---
Then I'll strip down, too! Take that!
[11:21] ---
Why would you show me such a thing?
[11:23] ---
I now have no choice.
[11:45] ---
Who is that girl?
[11:48] ---
O-Our neighbor, Yamada-san, yes!
[11:51] ---
You get along with her?
[11:53] ---
No, no. If anything, she's someone detestable.
[11:55] ---
Why do you lie like that?
[11:57] ---
It didn't look like that at all.
[12:00] ---
It's not a lie.
[12:01] ---
- Someone like that—
- You saw her naked?
[12:04] ---
Did you?
[12:06] ---
J-Just a little.
[12:09] ---
So you saw her...
[12:11] ---
Put your pants on.
[12:12] ---
And get out.
[12:19] ---
Pervert.
[12:23] ---
I'm in a crisis.
[12:33] ---
So you decided to have a showdown
[12:35] ---
against Elf Yamada-sensei
with Eromanga-sensei at stake.
[12:38] ---
And, your motivation keeps going nowhere,
so your stories are being turned down.
[12:41] ---
To summarize, yeah.
[12:44] ---
Men fighting one another with another man
at stake sounds like a boys-love novel.
[12:48] ---
Don't make fun of me.
[12:50] ---
Sorry, sorry.
[12:51] ---
By the way, how will you get Eromanga-sensei
to read those manuscripts for the showdown?
[12:59] ---
Well, I just need to have
Sagiri directly read them.
[13:07] ---
Elf?
[13:10] ---
You're finally home!
[13:14] ---
I'd like a moment with you!
[13:16] ---
Welcome, visitor from afar.
This is my company's studio.
[13:21] ---
It's full of boxes.
[13:23] ---
I just moved in, after all.
The contents are goods and sample books.
[13:26] ---
If you'd like, take whatever you like.
[13:28] ---
Seriously?
[13:29] ---
Can I have your new book, autographed?
[13:31] ---
Oh? You're one of my fans?
You should tell me stuff like that!
[13:36] ---
Here you go!
[13:38] ---
Thank you. Your autograph looks nice.
[13:42] ---
I think I'm pretty much in awe.
[13:44] ---
The view from the veranda is wonderful, too.
[13:48] ---
It's not that different from our place.
We're neighbors, after all.
[13:57] ---
So that's what she's like
when she's alone in her room?
[14:02] ---
I've never seen her
look so merry like that before.
[14:05] ---
Well? How's the view from Crystal Palace?
Isn't it wonderful?
[14:09] ---
Yeah.
[14:10] ---
So, what's up?
[14:14] ---
I thought I'd disclose
the true identity of Eromanga-sensei.
[14:17] ---
Wh-What's this, all of a sudden?
[14:19] ---
I'm not getting any replies, so we can't have
our showdown if we can't get in contact, right?
[14:24] ---
She probably can't think the Eromanga-sensei
she's looking for is right in front of her eyes.
[14:30] ---
How are you going to research
Eromanga-sensei's true identity?
[14:34] ---
The internet.
[14:35] ---
I've already finished
carefully examining the blog.
[14:38] ---
From my analysis...
[14:39] ---
they talk about their favorite anime and manga,
doesn't go to events,
[14:42] ---
doesn't talk about IRL friend at all,
seems to have one family member,
[14:45] ---
but doesn't live with parents?
What does this mean?
[14:48] ---
Either a shut-in, or someone
who hardly steps out of the house.
[14:50] ---
The address should be around here.
At least the same ward as us.
[14:53] ---
You've gotten really far along in pinpointing!
[14:55] ---
Oh, Eromanga-sensei is currently streaming!
[14:58] ---
Frilly, frilly panties, so sexy!
[15:02] ---
Currently streaming?
[15:05] ---
Hey, what have you been staring at?
[15:07] ---
W-Well, nothing.
[15:10] ---
That cute girl's pure white panties.
[15:11] ---
Oh, that's your...
[15:14] ---
That girl...
[15:15] ---
U-Uh, hey...
[15:21] ---
No, no, no, no, no!
[15:26] ---
What's she doing?
[15:28] ---
Your little sister is funny!
[15:31] ---
Your little sister draws?
[15:33] ---
Yeah.
[15:34] ---
Is she like that all the time?
[15:36] ---
It's the first time I've seen it.
[15:37] ---
She seems to be having fun.
She likes to draw, huh?
[15:40] ---
Yeah.
[15:41] ---
That's great. I kind of understand.
[15:46] ---
You've got to be like that.
[15:48] ---
It means you'll make wonderful art.
[15:51] ---
I'd love to work with her,
if Eromanga-sensei wasn't around.
[15:55] ---
I see.
[15:57] ---
That's her right there, though.
[16:00] ---
Yamada-sensei.
[16:01] ---
What's with that creepy way to address me?
[16:03] ---
"Elf" is fine.
[16:05] ---
Then, Elf.
[16:06] ---
What?
[16:07] ---
Thank you.
[16:09] ---
For what?
[16:11] ---
What you just said made me happy.
[16:14] ---
You may be a better person than I thought.
[16:17] ---
Is that so.
[16:20] ---
About the thing with Eromanga-sensei...
[16:22] ---
I'll try asking so that somehow
your manuscript will be read as well.
[16:25] ---
Is that all right?
[16:27] ---
I'll take Eromanga-sensei away from you.
[16:30] ---
We won't know until we try.
[16:32] ---
And I won't let you.
[16:34] ---
I said this was a challenge, right?
[16:37] ---
Oh, fine.
[16:40] ---
So, why did you become one of my fans?
[16:44] ---
Why so suddenly? Do I have to tell you?
[16:46] ---
You have to! Please tell me.
[16:51] ---
The first time I read your book...
[16:54] ---
It was a really laughable scene
that wasn't sad at all, but it made me cry.
[17:00] ---
Back then, something really rough
happened in my life.
[17:03] ---
I didn't know what I should do,
and I was depressed every day.
[17:07] ---
Right afterwards, I had something else horrible
happen to me, and it crushed me.
[17:11] ---
Dark Elf of Bursting Flame
[17:11] ---
But...
[17:13] ---
When I read your silly story, and laughed,
and cried, I felt slightly more at ease.
[17:23] ---
And that's how I became a fan.
[17:27] ---
I-I see.
[17:31] ---
Wait, silly? You're not complimenting me!
[17:34] ---
It's a compliment!
[17:36] ---
Your story doesn't advance at all, but man,
how do you write such interesting prose?
[17:40] ---
You're surely making fun of me!
[17:43] ---
You may not believe me...
[17:46] ---
But back then, I felt novels can save lives.
[17:52] ---
Thank you.
[17:56] ---
Well, I am a genius!
[17:59] ---
I personally think I make 100,000 people cry
with each book I publish.
[18:04] ---
But maybe even you have saved
at least one person on one occasion?
[18:10] ---
I hope that's true.
[18:12] ---
Just then,
[18:14] ---
I remembered that person who I didn't even
know the face of, yet gave me impressions
[18:17] ---
Next up, let's do something
a bit more provocative!
[18:20] ---
about my first novel.
[18:20] ---
- wanna see more
- old man's too good
[18:23] ---
Come on now!
[18:26] ---
Enough already. Get to work!
[18:27] ---
Eh? I don't feel like it.
[18:30] ---
You've been saying that for two weeks now.
Are you going to submit a manuscript in time?
[18:34] ---
Who knows?
[18:35] ---
What about your challenge with me?
[18:37] ---
You have deadlines for your series'
new volume, right?
[18:39] ---
It's fine, it's okay.
I can drag it out a bit more.
[18:43] ---
Besides, does a genius like me
really need deadlines?
[18:47] ---
No! Of course not!
[18:49] ---
My heart, only when free, can spread
the wings of creation and flutter!
[18:54] ---
This is weird. The other day,
I thought she was a cool person.
[18:58] ---
Anyway, Masamune,
let's do some cooperative play.
[19:01] ---
Hey, Yamada-sensei. Weren't you going
to create the ultimate light-novel?
[19:05] ---
I will create it, of course.
[19:07] ---
But for that, I am replenishing
my magical energy.
[19:11] ---
To create a masterpiece,
I am building up my spirits.
[19:14] ---
No good. This person is trash.
[19:15] ---
What? And you call yourself
one of my servants?
[19:18] ---
I may be a fan, but I'm not a servant!
[19:21] ---
Hmph, why don't you meddle
with your little sister and not me?
[19:24] ---
No, she's fine.
She's cute, and showing effort.
[19:28] ---
You're no good.
You're not cute, nor showing effort.
[19:31] ---
Huh!?
[19:32] ---
A-All that girl does is just draw pictures!
[19:35] ---
No matter how you look at it,
[19:37] ---
I'm showing a lot more effort as someone
who is peerless in the professional world!
[19:41] ---
I can't say that she's actually
a popular illustrator.
[19:44] ---
In any case, hurry up and get to work!
[19:47] ---
As. I. Said.
[19:49] ---
I just don't feel motivated to do that.
[19:51] ---
It doesn't matter if you're motivated or not.
[19:52] ---
Work is something you do every day
without rest.
[19:56] ---
Y-You're not always...
[19:58] ---
w-working like that, are you?
[20:02] ---
Of course. I get turned down a lot,
so if I can't write every day...
[20:05] ---
- Don't write when you're not motivated!
- ...I can't keep going.
[20:14] ---
Ow...
[20:15] ---
Fool!
[20:16] ---
Just how foolish can you get?
[20:19] ---
I understand now.
[20:21] ---
Your novels are boring
because you're writing like that!
[20:26] ---
Prose can't be interesting when it's written
while you're not motivated!
[20:30] ---
Isn't it our job to write something interesting
even when we're not motiva—
[20:33] ---
It isn't, you nitwit!
[20:36] ---
Compared to prose written
in interesting ways and not motivated,
[20:39] ---
and prose written when you're on max-fire
motivation is definitely more interesting!
[20:43] ---
That makes sense, but...
[20:45] ---
Then, if you're not on max-fire motivation,
don't write manuscripts even if it kills you!
[20:51] ---
You've been working all this time
with that kind of approach?
[20:54] ---
Huh? But I've never worked at all.
[20:57] ---
But you're Miss Popular Author, right?
[20:59] ---
Of course I am.
[21:01] ---
But novels are a hobby.
[21:03] ---
Being a professional author is my hobby.
[21:05] ---
What?
[21:07] ---
To make it easier to understand, it's a game.
[21:09] ---
A game I got hooked on the most in my life,
more exciting than anything else in this world.
[21:14] ---
S-She's...
[21:19] ---
What? You're going home?
[21:20] ---
That's right.
[21:22] ---
I came here thinking your work may give me
food for thought, but it was a waste of time.
[21:26] ---
Hold on there!
[21:28] ---
Do you really want to see me
"working" that much?
[21:32] ---
Yeah.
[21:33] ---
Then...
[21:35] ---
I'll work tomorrow.
If you'd like, come visit.
[21:44] ---
Thou shalt prove thyself.
[21:46] ---
Be silent. Let there be light.
[21:50] ---
Come in. The sanctuary hath opened.
[21:57] ---
Welcome back, Masamune!
