So that's why I'm thinking about reading these creepy otaku novels!

Hey, little girl. You try saying that one more time.

L-Little girl?

Y-You just said "creepy otaku novels" while f-facing the mistress of the light-novel section.

Yes, creepy otaku novels!

You've got some nerve!

Calm down, Tomoe!

Don't underestimate the combat tribes from Adachi Ward!

I think you get it now, but stop calling novels with illustrations "creepy otaku novels".

Got it.

Okay!

Then, what should I call them?

"Light-novel" is acceptable.

Then, "light-novel", is it?

Can you tell me which ones to read?

I want to like the stuff Izumi-chan likes, too.

I see, then...

Mune-kun, a second...

I get the gist of the situation.

But, I can not forgive her for the offensive language she spoke.

You "can not"? What are you planning to do?

I'll make her super-addicted to light-novels and completely convert her.

My dear customer!

Wh-What is it? You can just call me Megumin, like most normally do.

Then, Megumin-chan.

If you're looking for an entry-level light-novel, start with this!

That choice...

And I also recommend this one, and that one!

This many?

And, more than anything else, this title!

"Legend of the Illusionary Demon Sword," from the super-popular Muramasa Senju-sensei!

Our best-seller, and the second season of the anime is on air right now.

She's such a...

Thank you for your purchase!

I'll see you tomorrow, Megumin-chan.

Huh? Tomorrow?

Hello?

Hey, what's the meaning of this!?

The novels you guys recommended the other day all ended at really good parts!

When are the sequels coming out!?

Who knows? I've been waiting for the sequels for a while, too.

Brother, you're an author, right? You can speak directly to the other authors, right?

Tell them to stop playing hooky and to hurry up and write the sequels!

Don't ask for the impossible.

Then, well...

What should I do with this feeling of dissatisfaction?

To lessen those symptoms, you just have to read other interesting books.

No way!

But, you achieved your goal, didn't you?

Huh?

You wanted to start reading light-novels to get common ground to talk to Sagiri, right?

I've gotten to like light-novels...

You know, I said you have to read other interesting novels, right?

How about borrowing one from Sagiri?

Wouldn't that be a better icebreaker for you to become friends?

You're right!

Nice idea!

But would Izumi-chan see me with that reason?

Well, for now, I'll try convincing her, but if it doesn't work...

We'll cross that bridge when we get there!

Then, I'll drop by tomorrow after school!

Got it.

By the way, Megumi,

did you already read "Silverwolf of Reincarnation" that I gave you?

Yes!

It was a bit iffy!

Sagiri, I have to talk to you. Can you open the door?

Big Brother. What do you need to talk about?

Well, um, you know...

Did you find someone who's cute, well-endowed, and might be willing to show her panties?

Well, it's not about that...

Megumi said she's coming by today.

- I'm heading over there now. - Okay, see ya!

I absolutely don't want to see her!

Don't say that. Megumi is a pretty good kid at heart.

She said she wanted to like the stuff you like, too.

Well, yeah, but...

Such a cute dog!

Isn't it okay to lend her a few books?

Let's lend her "The Virgin Mary is Watching" series except for "Putting Up the Parasol".

H-How do you come up with such devilish thoughts, Big Brother?

In any case, I don't want to see her.

If it's just lending books... Then, okay.

But, I-I have one condition.

One condition? What is it?

The class rep...

...is cute, right?

Hello! It's Megumin!

As the condition for lending me books, I need to be a model for her drawings?

Sagiri says she's fine seeing you if that's the case.

She wants to draw using me as a model.

I may have something here with Izumi-chan!

P-Perhaps so...

I was an amateur model for a magazine one time!

I'm okay with any pose.

Bring it on!

Yeah!

So, what should I do from here?

Izumi-chan won't come out of her room, right?

Yeah. About that.

Um, this is...

Nothing less from a magazine model. You look good no matter what you wear!

Don't I?

Wait, no!

It can't be helped. Sagiri said you have to be in that state for her to see you.

I'll call for Sagiri now. But you have to promise not take the blindfold off.

How am I going to do that in this state?

Sagiri, I brought her!

I blindfolded her, and made her immobile. Nothing to be scared of!

This way!

I'm surprised. To think she'd let her in here so easily.

U-Um, Izumi-chan, you're there, right?

Um, I'm not getting a reply from Izumi-chan!

I'm getting super uneasy, like some lewd punishment is going to begin soon.

I'd like you to refrain from vulgar comments in front of my little sister.

Sagiri is concentrating on drawing, so she can't respond to you.

G-Gazes...

Lewd gazes on my thighs and boobs are making my neck and spine tingle!

You've been acting strangely bashful for a while now.

Y-You think so?

Yeah. As if you're not used to having lewd gazes on you.

Perhaps you think being a slut is fashionable?

You're just putting on airs and pretending to be a lewd girl!

Y-You're wrong! I... well, have lots of experience...

And...

I've seen a dick before, too!

Cute striped panties!

What are we going to do about this?

I thought it would be bad, but I couldn't hold in my urge.

You know...

I'm sorry.

So you can talk.

Izumi-chan, you can talk!

With me! Without blindfolds!

I-It's not all right... but...

I'm sorry.

I forgive you!

We're already friends now, right?

Since you've already seen my panties.

Nope.

So horrible! You even took my panties off!

Not even my little brother has seen them!

You said you'll forgive me.

I said that, but...

Isn't there something else you can say? Like, a friendship has been born?

Um, "Thank you for the meal"?

Oh, it was nothing, damn you!

- It's time for you to pay up! - Pay up? Oh.

Here.

Being a friend is impossible, but this is the reward you were promised.

Oh. That's what we promised, huh?

So, my favorite books...

H-Here you go.

These are the books Izumi-chan likes.

Yeah. My most favorite books in the whole world.

I see.

Then, I'll get to liking these, too.

When I'm done reading them, can you lend me other books?

Sure.

Well then, that's a promise!

Oh, and can you give me back my panties that you put in your pocket?

P-Please wait until I'm done with my illustration.
