"You cooked all this yourself?" "Yes, everything." "Starting from the preparation." "Now, eat up!" "I thought you were going to show me how you work." "Right." "As you can see, I'm in the middle of working!" "You're a novel author, right?" "Just shut up and eat!" "I named that "Spring Pixie's Full Nudity Soup"!" "H-How is it?" "It's amazingly tasty!" "Thank you for that meal." "It was tasty." "I'm a professional author, so of course it would be." "The feeling of wanting to cook a meal from scratch for someone who's on your mind." "Thanks to you, I understand how the heroine thinks when she cooks for others." "I see." "I write novels as a hobby." "But hobbies you don't seriously play are all boring, right?" "Because it's a hobby, I put all my might into it!" "I think I like cooking even more thanks to you." "All right!" "Sagiri, this is from the neighbor, for you." "The neighbor's home-cooked meal is really delicious." "Um..." "Liar." "Me!" "?" "The neighbor?" "We don't get along at all." "This!" "The neighbor?" "We don't get along at all." "Is that me?" "The neighbor?" "We don't get along at all." "Here!" "So erotic!" "No!" "Don't you have something else to say?" "Why do you only draw girls with small boobs?" "Th-That's because..." "Even if I give a request to make the heroine's boobs bigger, you ignore it." "Um..." "I'm..." "I'm picky about the types of lewd art to draw." "I don't want to draw anything I haven't seen in real life!" "I-In real life..." ""When you speak of dreams, you should laugh!" The illustration from the other day was..." "Like this?" "How outrageous!" "Idiot!" "Lewd!" "Pervert!" "You definitely just imagined me doing really lewd things!" "I bought those string panties so I can draw that lewd illustration." "You're thinking I'm lewd!" "I don't think that!" "Not to that extent." "Lies!" "Sagiri, listen to me!" "A big brother doesn't think of lewd things with his little sister!" "No matter how erotic you are, it won't turn me on." "And moreover, I'd never make fun of you!" "That's what a big brother is." "So stupid." "I don't care about or trust any big brothers who are lewd liars." "Hey, can that be..." "Is that our neighbor, Yamada-san?" ""The neighbor?" "We don't get along at all."" ""Yee-haw."" ""The neighbor's home-cooked meal is really delicious."" "Liar." "So that's what this is about." "It's true that I head over to the neighbor's a lot lately." "But there's a reason for it." "What reason?" "That's something I can't say for now." "Liar." "Always, all the time, everything is a lie." "Big Brother..." "Big Brother, I hate you." "I don't want to see your face." "Then, I'll prove that I'm not a liar." "For the past year, I've been thinking about how I can get you to recognize me as your big brother." "I finally get it now." "Sagiri, I..." "I'll make my little sister my heroine!" "I'll write a light-novel that's about my little sister!" "I'll write about my favorite thing in the world, and create the ultimate light-novel!" "I'm not happy about that one bit!" "Not happy at all!" "I'm not going to open up my heart with anything like that!" "It's just gross!" "I hate big brothers who are liars!" "I don't trust you!" "Hurry up and get out!" "Let's do our best together next time, too!" "Liar." "I'll do it." "With my max-fire motivation, I'll do what I can." "Several days passed." "Before I knew it, roughly two weeks were already gone." "I haven't seen Sagiri's face ever since." "Sensei, please do something about the proposal for your new title by this week." "I'm sorry, but I'd like a little bit more time." "All right." "Then take your time to think it out." "It's really scary to turn down work." "If I don't publish a new title, my position disappears all too quickly." "Even the fans forget about me." "Two years ago, I wrote and wrote, yet not one book was published." "I was losing heart, and I'm about to be back in that state." "I'm fighting such fears, but still, I..." "I wrote something interesting." "I have a good feeling about this." "It's open?" "Elf Yamada-sensei?" "Are you here?" "I hope you don't mind my intrusion." "Elf..." "This is..." "Oh, you were here?" "Right." "Today was the promised day." "Wait for me in the living room." "Got it." "Such a serious look on her face..." "I've never seen it before." "Sorry to make you wait!" "This is my new novel!" ""Chronicles of Wandering Cat Girls" This is my new novel!" "You said yesterday that you haven't written one word of it yet!" "With my ability "Summon Darkness"," "I summoned a completed manuscript from the demon realm!" "I-Impossible!" "Such an ability!" "?" "You thought I'd be surprised?" "You were desperately writing that until moments ago!" "I totally wasn't writing." "I totally summoned this from the demon realm!" "If you think I'm lying, you can check my laptop." "You erased it just for a stupid little trick?" "E-Elf Yamada's new title..." "B-But I'm Elf Yamada..." "Besides, see?" "The manuscript is right here." "Time for the showdown, Masamune Izumi." "I'll see through your little piece with my God Eye!" "Bring it on, Elf Yamada." "That novel you summoned from the demon realm with all your might..." "I'll have a read of it!" "Interesting." "It's tremendously interesting!" "The hand keeps flipping the pages." "And my heart keeps wanting more!" "Is this the true skills of an author whose works get turned into anime?" "On top of that, all the heroines have small breasts." "There are so many poses that Eromanga Sensei would love to draw." "And it's full of situations and outfits that she might like!" "And then..." "It's super erotic." "It's tuned to be ultra-specialized." "This is a light-novel made for Eromanga Sensei!" "You know, this..." "Is this manuscript for real?" "Well, Masamune?" "This is very important." "Answer me." "O-Of course, I'm dead serious." "I see!" "What the hell is going on?" "I can't..." "I can't win against this." "So unfair!" "Was my manuscript that interesting—" "No!" "That's not what I'm talking about!" "How dare you make me read something like this?" "Such..." "Such..." "Was it that boring?" "The one I wrote will sell ten billion times more!" "But this..." "I can't compete against this!" "H-Hey!" "What's up with you?" "This manuscript wasn't written to amuse a lot of readers." "You put your soul into this, and wrote this just for one person!" "Reading this crap of a manuscript that is definitely not sellable, the only ones who would get emotional in this whole world would be myself, and your little sister, Eromanga Sensei!" "H-How'd you find out?" "It's pretty obvious after reading this." "Seriously?" "It's like you plainly wrote here that your little sister is Eromanga Sensei." "I was planning on having my little sister read this novel." "Why don't you do that?" "I think your thoughtfulness will get across to her." "This super-duper-ultra-passionate 300 page love letter." "I was wondering what kind of an exhibitionist you were." "But to think you weren't conscious of it." "Untitled Masamune Izumi But to think you weren't conscious of it." "I lost." "I totally lost this one." "Wait, what are you doing!" "?" "Why are you crying?" "Such a lewd, amusing masterpiece..." "Lost forever..." "Well, thank you." "If it won't have those illustrations, then there's no point in leaving it around." "Listen, I've lost, but that doesn't mean you've won." "How are those different?" "That's why you're so dense." "I'll win next time!" "So, what are you going to do with that?" "You won't say, "Nah, I'm not gonna show this to my little sister," are you?" "I'll do it!" "I was planning on it anyway." "What are you planning to do?" "Are you serious?" "If you fall, you'll get hurt!" "Eromanga-sensei!" "Sagiri!" "I'm coming for you right now!" "Big Brother?" "Well, this is, um, well..." "Sagiri!" "I completed the manuscript for my new piece!" "I want you to read it!" "Well, I'm sorry." "It's okay now." "But, it's not okay." "Why did you do something so dangerous?" "Because you never opened the door for me since that time." "Here." "What?" "The reason I didn't open my door for a while." "This is..." "Battle scenes." "Have I gotten better at drawing them?" "It's almost like someone else drew them!" "I see." "I watched videos of martial arts matches, and read up on many references for weapons." "So that's why it's so..." "But I don't like stories with people getting hurt or dying." "That's from—" "No, I've always been like that from before." "Don't get me wrong." "It's sad when the character you like is no longer in the story." "That's why I've always resisted drawing that." "But, seeing face-to-face for the first time, and talking about creating titles..." "I felt it wasn't right for me to just be good at drawing what I like." "Because I said you sucked..." "I was really disappointed, so I felt that I should fight as well." "Fight, as in, against me?" "No." "Look at this, too." "When I color it, it looks like this." "This is a version with a different hair style." "How is it?" "You learned how to draw characters with big boobs?" "I got it to a level where I can barely get by." "She looks like this when stripped." "What do you think?" "I think it's really erotic and very good." "I see." "So for the past couple weeks, you were practicing this." "Izumi-sensei." "Do you understand now?" "It's impossible to drop me from working on your new title." "What do you mean?" "Who said that?" "I mean, you were hiding something from me." "You were secretly meeting with our neighbor, Yamada-san." "You seemed to have fun." "You'd never meet anyone like that outside of your job." "Since you started seeing her, you seemed really motivated." "I thought, she must be your new illustrator." "So I cooped myself up in my room and practiced." "Sagiri..." "Izumi-sensei said his little sister was going to be his heroine." "He said he was going to create the ultimate light-novel." "I was actually happy about that, and that's when I thought I had to draw the illustrations for it, no matter what." "I'm never, ever going to lose!" "I won't hand over Izumi-sensei to someone like that!" "That's my line." "It's all a misunderstanding." "Yamada-san next door is the popular author, Elf Yamada-sensei." "Elf Yamada-sensei..." "Yes." "Sh-She's a huge fan of Eromanga Sensei, and wants to work together with her." "So we engaged in a novel duel, with Eromanga-sensei at stake." "What?" "I didn't hear about this." "I didn't want to tell you." "Because I was afraid to be told you'd rather work with a popular author instead of me." "I was scared." "Impossible!" "Big Brother, you really are an idiot!" "I think so, too." "I have to tell you in the end, anyway." "That's not what I mean!" "That's exactly how—" "Enough." "I'm sorry but, I've already defeated her." "I won!" "That's amazing." "To think you'd win against her..." "Izumi-sensei, you're amazing!" "Actually, we were going to have you read both and decide." "No need for that." "From the start, I've already decided." "Let's keep working together from now on, Izumi-sensei!" "The pleasure is all mine, Eromanga-sensei." "I don't know anyone by that name." "Untitled Masamune Izumi" "Let me read this." "Untitled Masamune Izumi" "R-R-R-Right." "Y-Y-Y-Yeah." "Why are you flustered?" "I'm not flustered!" "No, not flustered one bit!" "Hurry up." "Y-Yeah." "Please read it!" "Then, I'll be over there—" "No." "Stay here." "N-No good." "I might die from shock." "S-Sagiri?" "Y-Yes?" "H-How was it?" "U-U-Um..." "I think it's really interesting!" "Really!" "?" "It's just..." "You can't publish it as a book like this." "I can't have anyone else read this." "It's so embarrassing." "Y-You're right." "That's right." "Big Brother..." "I'm..." "I'm in love with someone." "I-I see." "Right." "That's how it should be." "Because we're siblings." "I decided that I was going to be her family." "Got it." "Oh, I see, I see." "So you got rejected." "What's with that stupid grin on your face?" "Serves you right!" "So?" "What happened after that?" "After that..." "You know, Sagiri..." "I have a dream now, too." "Dream?" "That's right, a really big dream!" "I'll turn this manuscript into a book." "It's out of the question as is, so I'll rethink it, and write a project proposal." "I'll have my editor approve it, too." "That's where it begins." "But I'll make sure to turn this into a book." "I'll amuse tons of people with it, and have them love the main character and the heroine." "It'll get super popular, and make enough money for us to easily live on our own." "And then, have it turn into an anime!" "Is that your dream, Big Brother?" "No, no." "That's all preparation." "We'll buy a large LCD television for the living room, and get ridiculously expensive speakers." "And then we'll have a magnificent cake, with candles." "I'll take you out of your room, and we'll watch the anime together!" "It'll be our anime, where I wrote the story and you drew the illustrations!" "That way, I think both of us would have a lot of fun!" "All the sad things will be blown away by it!" "That's my dream." "It's the goal I have to get to!" "How is it?" "Isn't it amazing?" "It won't help if I speak in a loud voice." "I see." "This time, too, huh?" "This time?" "Sagiri, you..." "You've always been like that, Izumi-sensei." "You always give me dreams." "That's great, Izumi-sensei." "Let's do it!" "I'm not gonna let you do something so fun all by yourself!" "That's not a dream for you alone." "Let's make that our dream, together." "I'm a little hungry." "Right, right." "I got it." "Hold on for a bit." "Our first step towards our dream." "I don't think I'll ever forget about this day for the rest of my life."
