Well? Isn't it a gorgeous view?
You like it?
Th-That outfit...
What do you think?
M-My heart definitely isn't racing.
Yeah, yeah, be tsundere all you want.
And let's enjoy this situation where we're all alone.
All alone, you say?
Now, let us confirm our love for each other, without any constraints!
You guys seriously haven't gone to an overseas event? Gross!
Muramasa-san, perhaps you've been invited at some point?
I think not.
No, you have. You've just forgotten about it.
Then, how about we go to one, even if it's domestic?
I'll call it the "Summer Data Collection and Writing Camp"!
If you participate, you can see me and Muramasa in lewd swimsuits!
Seriously!?
Wh-Why am I involved in this?
I will not wear one! I will never wear one!
Izumi-kun, you were able to come as well.
At first, you said you won't be able to.
Well...
Big Brother, go to the camp.
Yeah, but...
I'll be fine. You'll get some new data, too.
Besides...
Right now, I'm drawing illustrations for "The World's Cutest Little Sister".
So, Izumi-sensei, do your best to get new data to write the "continuation" of that story.
So we can make our dream come true.
All right. If you say so, Sagiri.
That, and I've already talked things out with Elf-chan.
In return for lending Big Brother out...
So, is Senpai still—
I have arrived quite a while ago.
Senpai, those clothes...
Th-This is part of my contract with Eromanga-sensei.
I-Is it strange?
No, you're really cute. I'm surprised.
Y-You big idiot!
And so...
Welcome to my island!
Your island?
To be precise, the island where my novels took place.
True, somehow it seems...
Right. It's not the Elven Forest, but Elf's Island!
It's a pilgrimage of sorts.
A real elf...
To think one really existed.
Big Bro!
Let me introduce you. This is my editor and older brother, Chris.
Nice to meet you, everyone.
I'm Chris Yamada of the Full-Drive Bunko editorial division.
So Elf-sensei's editor is her big brother?
Come to think, we've met once before.
I hear this is a "data collection" and "writing camp".
I cannot leave it to my little sister alone, so I will also reside on this island for the duration.
I said that was unnecessary, as you are all my frie... faithful servants.
S-So scary!
W-Well, we're here as your little sister's friends, so feel free to be a bit more frank with us.
Understood. If that is the case...
I'm glad that my little sister made friends close to her age.
She has all sorts of issues, but please stay friends with her.
Wait, what are you talking—
Got it. Leave it to us!
Geez! You too, Masamune?
Elf, your pen-name was your real name?
I'm just using Big Bro's last name "Yamada" as part of my pen-name. It's not my real name.
Then, what is your real name?
You want to know?
I can't tell you because that's a maiden's secret.
If you really want to know...
My little sister's name is E—
D-Don't say it!
Come to think, I don't know everyone's real names.
For my Kunimitsu Shidou, I just changed around the kanji a bit. It's basically my real name.
So you're like me.
What about you, Muramasa-senpai?
I will not tell you. It is embarrassing.
And people like this tend to have the cutest names.
This is our vacation home!
Everyone, think of this as your own home, and relax!
We have more than enough rooms, so we could each have our own rooms.
But that defeats the purpose of a camp, right?
So, how about Masamune with me, and Kunimitsu with Muramasa? Sound good?
How could that be good!?
Be serious about this, or die. Take your pick.
O-Of course that was a joke.
I'll be with you, and Masamune with Kunimitsu, okay?
What? I'm with Izumi-kun?
Um, Shidou-kun, is there an issue?
I-I'm sorry, I'm straight, so I rather not be in the same room.
So you do misunderstand me!
Eromanga-sensei and I aren't in that kind of a relationship!
Then, you guys can be in separate rooms. Anyway, let's hurry to the beach and pla—
I mean, do some data collection!
And there you have it.
A-All alone? Where's Muramasa-senpai?
I'm sure she's...
Wear these <3 -Elf
...not going to be here for a while.
Shidou-kun said he'll be down after sending a work e-mail.
So it's just you and me, all alone.
Let's play together until everyone gets here!
Why are you so bashful?
You need to gather data to write an interesting romantic comedy, right?
R-Right! Data collection!
I-I see. So that's why you're acting like we're lovers or something.
You don't want to?
It's not that I don't want to...
Well then!
First piece of data to collect! The staple event at the beach!
N-Now, Masamune, please apply sunscreen to my body!
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Stop it, you exhibitionist!
D-Don't get me wrong!
I wouldn't let anyone else do this to me!
We need to get data on a staple event, so I'm reluctantly doing this.
Okay, I get it. But at least lie face-down!
You're such a loser, Masamune Izumi.
H-Here. I'm lying face-down now. G-Go ahead.
What's wrong? Hurry up.
Go ahead and spread that lewd aphrodisiac slime all over my beautiful, young body.
She is such a...
Whatever you, the lowest of all scum, would do to me,
my heart will never be at your disposal.
It's not what it seems, Chris-san! This is just data-collecting...
Huh?
Second data collection point!
Lovey-dovey water splashing between two lovers!
You know, that usual "Oh, so cold! Sheesh, how dare you?" thing.
It's embarrassing, so I rather not.
What?
Fine. We'll start with the third data collection point,
"teaching a beautiful girl how to swim".
I can't swim.
I-Impossible! My perfect plan...
You can teach me how to swim instead.
I can't swim, either!
There are all sorts of ways to enjoy an island on the south seas!
Now, let's pull ourselves together and be lovey-dovey, for the sake of data collection.
I will not allow it!
Elf Yamada, your evil plans end right here and now!
Oh, that was faster than I thought.
S-Senpai, you refused so much. B-But you really are wearing a lewd swimsuit.
Y-You have it wrong, Masamune-kun.
It is her! She is the root of all this evil!
What the hell did you do?
Sh-She even hid the towels!
To think I would walk out in such a swimsuit...
Senpai, please, use this.
Masamune-kun.
The reason why I came to this camp was because I wanted to read your stories.
My stories?
You have a lot of shelved stories on your computer, don't you?
Of course, I have some...
I want to read them!
The condition Muramasa gave to join this camp was to read them.
I don't mind, but just the shelved ones?
I know, I'll write something new.
A new piece from Masamune Izumi-sensei?
It won't be much of anything, though.
Maybe like an after-story for the Silverwolf series.
I want to read!
Then, I'll finish it up during the camp and hand it over.
P-Please!
Since I'm going to write it,
I'll write you a "super-interesting piece of junk" that I'd never be able to sell!
Okay!
Now, let's continue collecting data!
That was fun!
When we get back, let's take a bath!
We have an open-air bath!
An open-air bath, huh?
So elegant.
Oh, Masamune. It'll be useless if you try to peek.
If you're not careful while climbing the fence, it'll just start creaking like crazy.
It's fine if you climb carefully, but you can't peek, okay?
I see, this is a good bath.
This is kind of awkward because of what happened earlier.
