**[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!
