Next Episode Preview!

Late at night, Akira wakes from a light sound

to find Hagg’s face right in front of him.

As Akira’s lips nearly scream, a rough finger is placed gently on them.

“Just be quiet… and accept it.”

The tension fades from Akira’s face and the two shadows merge into one…

Next episode: “Roses and Chrysanthemums”

Whoa!

What Akira sees after being transported to another world again

is none other than a squid-like Venusian.

Akira, thrown into confusion by the casual invitation.

Makes no sense.

Finally making her appearance without a joke, a little girl in panties!

Isn’t it unusual for heroines to appear so late in recent novels?

Anyway, the little girl in panties cries out,

“Eeeh… Who are you, Onii-chan?”

“Hey Akira… I’ve always traveled alone, you know.”

The shadows of two men illuminated by the campfire.

Sinking into the dark wilderness.

“I’m happy to have you as a partner…”

A twig snaps.

Akira listens in silence.

Hagg slowly sits next to Akira.

“I’m happy…”

He repeats the same words.

Next episode: “Awakening Covered in Sweat”

Wow!

“Oh Akira! Why are you Akira?”

I hate city regulations!

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

Akira looks up at Earth from the moon again today.

How many times, how many hours, how many days has this been?

He knows it’s pointless.

The Earth he gazes up at is intensely blue.

How many hours has he been looking up? He lowers his face with a sigh.

Slowly returning to the living space behind him.

To his empty home.

Alone.

On the moon.

Next episode: “Wish Upon a Shooting Star”

Welcome back.

“Hello! I’m Cherina, meow!”

Akira silently looks at the girl in front of him.

Wearing a school swimsuit with cat ears and huge paws for hands.

So fluffy.

A thick belt holds a giant gun at her waist.

“Now, make a contract with me and become a magical girl, meow!”

Akira starts counting the moments until his inner comment.

Next episode: “The Red-Breasted Beauty of the Wilderness”

Huh? Seriously?

===========================================

Cherina keeps nuzzling against Akira.

“When will Akira-nyan become a magical girl, meow?”

Akira thinks.

How long will this joke go on?

Itch… delicious.

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

Today, at the hamburger shop.

What is the man in front of him thinking?

Isn’t a date supposed to be at a restaurant with a night view?

It might be fun if invited to an amusement park for a light meal.

But this man is always the same, yawning and endlessly fiddling with his smartphone.

“Hey Akira… how long are you going to mess with your phone?”

“Huh? Well…”

What a rude man.

“We’re on a date, so shouldn’t there be something more?”

“…Huh? A date? What’s that?”

“Huh?”

“You just follow me around every day…”

“Wha?!”

“Master, please choose me!”

Mouton Oran edges closer to Akira.

“Fool! Akira is mine!”

Hagg grabs Mouton by the collar and throws him down.

What’s happening is completely unclear.

““Which one will you choose!””

“Is it!?”

Next episode: “The Thorny Path No Matter Which One You Choose”

Enough with the gay jokes already.

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

I’ve fallen in love.

Despite my position as a priest,

those red hair, red eyes, and the huge chest lifted by the red chains,

yet with a slim waist…

Ah, Cherina…

Why are you so beautiful?

I threw out the church to escape with you.

But it’s not allowed.

Because…

“Hey Mouton. Which of us is in charge of breakfast today?”

Akira, who has been cohabiting for years, gets up from bed naked.

That’s right.

I already have someone decided for me.

Next episode: “Triangle Blues”

Strange… why did it end up like this in the second half…

===========================================

“Onii-chan… give me more candy, please…”

Narnia, with her shoulders bare, edges closer.

Akira escapes the same distance.

“My body is hot… more candy… more…”

Narnia crawls closer.

Akira is cornered against the wall.

The cherry on her flat chest barely visible as her clothes slip further open.

Uninterested, Akira tries to look away, but Narnia holds him firmly with both hands.

“Onii-chan… candy… more… licking… my body is hot…”

Nuzzling closer.

“Please… this body’s heat… Onii-chan… cool it down…”

Narnia straddles Akira…

Next episode: “The Forbidden Night”

I’m buying erotic books with my brother’s credit card!

===========================================

“Ah… Cherina… did you catch anything?”

“No, not at all…”

“I’m hungry.”

“I would prefer water over food.”

“Don’t mention water.”

The endless clear sky.

No sign of rain.

A raft floating in the vast ocean.

“How many days have we been adrift?”

“Well… I haven’t counted beyond ten.”

Cherina’s plan was to be alone with Akira,

but before she knew it, they were truly lost.

Not the time for romance.

“…Akira-sama.”

“What is it?”

“When sailors… when there is no water…”

Cherina blushes as she stands up.

“As a last resort… well…”

Cherina approaches Akira, close enough to straddle him.

“H-Hey.”

“This is truly, truly a last resort…”

“Wait! Don’t rush it, Cherina!”

“Quietly, just…”

Next episode: “Survival Saint Water”

Saint was converted to “Saint Seiya” when I typed it.

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

The tires screech on the asphalt as the high-pitched squeal echoes.

Drifting through the corner, but the opponent’s tail lights keep getting further away.

“Damn… monster!”

Akira grits his teeth.

Why can’t he catch up to the Vitz?

He feels murderous intent towards the stuffed animals in the back seat.

No matter how much the rotary engine howls,

he can’t catch up to the completely stock Vitz.

What else can this be called but a nightmare?

The bumper hits the guardrail with a thud as he exceeds his limits.

Akira is showing his lifetime’s best descent.

But the Vitz in front sways like a ghost and increases speed.

He underestimated too much.

“Damn it! Wait up! Narniaaaaaaaa!”

Next Episode: “Assassin from Gunma”

I’ll lose it if there’s a baby-on-board sign!

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

“We’re caught in the gravity well of a star!”

“Attitude control! Set the stern of the ship towards the star!”

“Then we’ll get caught by the Federation ship!”

“So what should we do?!”

Akira, Cherina, and Narnia shout loudly.

“Calm down! In this case, we’ll TT-jump!”

Trapped in a transparent cube, the android Hagg shouts.

“Are you out of your mind?!”

“If there’s a better way, I’ll do anything!”

“…Damn it! Galaxy Map Link! Tajion Generator activation!”

“Akira?!”

“Onii-chan?!”

“Activate the Tachyon Converter at 50% charge! Target location is the outer solar system!”

“…R-right! Tajion Generator emergency activation! LHM power 124%!”

“Onii-chan! If we don’t slow down, TT conversion won’t work properly!”

“Anyway, it won’t stabilize under this high gravity, so leave the calculations to Cherina and just don’t sink the ship!”

“R-right!”

Narnia’s genius piloting miraculously escapes the Federation fleet, constantly firing lasers and missiles from above (star coordinates).

But it won’t last forever.

“Onii-chan! The generator is taking all the energy, and the electromagnetic shield can’t be… Ah!”

The ship shakes.

“Noooooo!”

“Calm down! This ship won’t fall easily!”

A normal ship would have fallen by now, but this one is special; we owe it to Yaralai.

“It can fly!”

“Good! I’ll leave the timing to you! Go!”

A torrent of lasers rains down.

Will the ship break first or will the jump succeed?

“TT jump… commencing!”

With Cherina’s shout, the view turns white.

Next Episode: “It Turns Out We Didn’t Have Enough Static Energy”

I borrowed some SF setting I was planning to use for jokes later, haha.

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

It’s another day of part-time work.

Akira is working as a waiter at a café after school.

And once again, she shows up.

“The table is dirty, Akira.”

“Don’t call me by my name.”

He roughly wipes the table.

Where’s the dirt?

“The coffee is taking too long.”

“I just took the order.”

Why does she come to this café every day without a reason?

And alone.

What’s the point of choosing this café, far from school?

Moreover, she threatens to report to school over anything, which is troublesome.

“…So?”

“What?”

“I thought you might start another meaningless threat soon.”

It’s spring break, then Golden Week, and summer break is approaching.

I expected she’d say something.

“Oh, so you’re learning now.”

“Hmph.”

She’s really annoying, but I can’t complain because she has dirt on me.

“Well then… it’s getting hot, so why don’t you escort me to the hotel pool?”

“I don’t have money for that.”

“Oh, isn’t that what the part-time job is for?”

“I’ve told you many times, it’s for living expenses!”

My family situation is the worst.

“Well then…,”

She slides a ticket onto the table.

“What’s this? Yokohama Bay Oracle Hotel, Suite Room Invitation… Shareholder Benefits Coupon…”

“…”

“Quite a few things to point out.”

“Is that so?”

“A Suite Room is for newlyweds, isn’t it?”

“It’s not for sweets, just think of it as a large room with several rooms.”

“Oh… well, you can’t stay together in one room then.”

“Y-yes, that’s right.”

“Hmm, but it feels out of place.”

“No problem.”

“Well… if I can get time off.”

“If you can! It’s a promise!”

“Y-yeah…”

Should invite friends…

No, does she have no friends?

So she’s using me… because she can get me to do what she wants.

Lonely person.

“Well, if I have free time.”

“Yes, yes! It’s a promise! So, goodbye!”

“Hey! The coffee… she left. What an idiot.”

I sighed and tossed the coffee money from my wallet.

Drinking the coffee prepared at the counter in one gulp.

Really, what is she?

Next Episode: “Swimsuits and Panoramic Night Views”

I’m getting tired of doing these previews…

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

Thanks for waiting!

Finally, the second W-heroine, the blonde elf, makes her appearance!

It’s been a long wait.

The author has been waiting too!

Next Episode: “Blonde Elf in the Wilderness”

Wow, heroines are truly wonderful. Farewell, farewell!

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

“I’m Potato-kun!”

“I’m Potato-chan!”

“”“Together, we’re Potato Rangers!”””

Akira wanted to comment.

Isn’t it unreasonable for two people to be Rangers?

“Ranger!”

“Ranger!”

Upon closer inspection, both of them have diamonds encircled by laurel wreaths on their chests.

“They’re real Rangers!”

Akira’s comment echoes futilely into the evening twilight.

Next Episode: “Crimson Carrot Boy”

Honestly, I want the previews to be this length.

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

“Akira… let’s… merge.”

“No way! I’m merging with Onii-chan!”

“Hmph, little girl, stay out of it! I’m merging with Akira!”

“Shut up, you stinky dwarf, I’m merging with Akira!”

What are you all saying?

“”“Who will you merge with?”””

Uh…

Next Episode: “Five God Merge… Mars”

There’s a slip too.

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

“Sensei, this is really bad, we’re going to fall if it continues like this!”

“Uhehihihihihihihi!”

While Akira’s grim question contrasts with Cherina’s super high tension,

her G-pen brings life to a manga of men entangled in passionate encounters.

“Fhehhehihihihihihih… Huh?”

“…What’s wrong, Sensei?”

Akira checks his watch.

The deadline is long past. It can’t be extended further.

“Show me the sample… now!”

“Wait! Sensei! Another seizure?! I’ll stay with you as long as you need after the manuscript is done!”

“Uge… Leave the pants… move the underwear…”

“Yikes, a pants monster!”

Next Episode: “The Deadline Is Like Rubber”

Keep it!

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

Three enormous sailing ships have entered the port.

None are merchant ships. They are warships.

From the black-glossed hulls of the warships, enormous ballistae face the royal castle.

A man murmurs,

“Times must change.”

The giant ballistae rain down a multitude of iron arrows.

With each impact, the scream of an era echoes.

Next Episode: “The Road to the Future”

Huh?

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

“A new mascot character…?”

Akira couldn’t believe his ears.

In a world overflowing with mascots, creating a new one was like challenging the gods.

“No, this is something only the Apostle Akira-sama could accomplish.”

“That has nothing to do with it…”

The mascot of the Piratas Kingdom…

“Why not just deform that pig king?”

“If you want to get your head chopped off, go ahead.”

“Yeah, I thought so.”

I don’t even know much about this country.

“Hmm, it’s a port town, so how about deforming a ship?”

“Doesn’t that make no sense?”

“It’s fine, mascots are like that.”

Such a terrible prejudice.

After three days and nights of discussion…

“Uhyahaha…! The time has come for!”

Akira was broken.

“This is the mascot character!”

Cherina was also broken.

“”“The Mascot Character: The Royal Ship with Legs!”””

A stuffed animal with the pig king’s face on a strangely-legged ship appeared.

Everyone who witnessed it was speechless.

“When you think of Arabian Nights, it’s harem, right?”

Cherina suddenly declared.

“Huh?”

“First, I’m member #1 of the harem.”

This makes no sense.

“And Narnia will be member #2, right?”

“No, that’s not planned at all…”

What is she talking about?

“I thought the blonde elf would be #3, but a guy instead…”

“Like an insect…”

“Well, as the story progresses, more girls will join, right?”

“No, I didn’t put a harem tag on it…”

“No way! It’s suicide not to have a harem in a modern novel!”

“O-oh…”

Why is there such an overwhelming pressure?

“Changing the title from ‘Maybe It Should Include Cheat’ to something weaker was also your excuse!”

“That’s just the author’s convenience…”

“Be quiet! Understand this! The world wants harems! No one will complain if all characters except the protagonist are girls!”

“That’s unnatural!”

“Since it’s already a hot and heavy story, add more girls! Got it?!”

“Don’t tell me…”

Next Episode: “27 Little Sisters”

Just coming up with names will be a challenge!

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

“Here come the Pontatterz!”

Cherina, in a costume, raises one hand with a beaming smile.

I raise one hand weakly with a wry smile.

How did it come to this?

“Now, let’s start with gymnastics! Big bro!”

The children follow along.

Ah, I guess I have to do it…

“Ah, I’m the gymnastics Onii-chan…”

Immediately, Cherina glares at me.

“Big…brother?”

“Oh… uh… Ta-da! I’m the gymnastics Onii-chan!”

In a fit of desperation.

“Let’s all do gymnastics together! Tanuki Exercise!”

“”“Tanuki’s exercise!”””

What a ridiculous song…

I kept doing squats in the tanuki costume…

Next Episode: “The Creeping Producer. Ratings Are Mine!”

Do they still make children’s programs?

===========================================

“Is this… heaven?!”

“It’s amazing… Onii-chan… I want to live here.”

This is what happened when I took them to Akihabara.

“Look at this, Akira-sama!”

She’s holding a BL book.

No interest at all.

“Onii-chan! This! This!”

Narnia is excitedly pointing at a strangely scantily-clad figure.

Why is Narnia excited about that…

“Okay, okay, I’ll buy one of each.”

“Really?! No second thoughts?!”

“Onii-chan! Let’s merge!”

“I’m done with that joke.”

Next Episode: “Beneath the Reverse Pyramid Is a Battlefield”

Interesting to see lots of pain cars.

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

In the darkness, fingers intertwined, chin resting.

The backlight obscures the expression.

It’s like a scene from some anime.

“It’s become quite a problem.”

Akira declares in a low voice.

“What happened?”

“…I’ve run out of ideas for the next episode previews.”

“Just do it as usual, as you’ve been doing.”

“I have to come up with it on the spot every time, and sometimes I run out of ideas.”

“Then just stop…”

“Once I start, it’s hard to stop!”

“Difficult…”

“So, today, I want everyone to come up with ideas for the next episode preview.”

“…Sigh.”

Cherina, who had been keeping her distance, answered with a sigh.

“How about conquering an underground dungeon?”

“That’s just a regular novel…”

“Then my glorious journey’s history…”

“That’s too long.”

“Fundamentally, the previews are getting as long as the main story, so it’s fine.”

“No, that’s the problem.”

“How about adding naked girls?”

“Don’t be so dismissive!”

“My muscles.”

“Rejected!”

As everyone was holding their heads, Narnia burst in through the door.

“Onii-chan!”

“Wh-what?!”

“…It’s too long.”

“””“““Wow””””””

Next Episode: “The Female CEO and Stockings”

Seriously running out of ideas…

“Festival time, wasshoi!”

“Wait, Cherina! This is the part where you wear a yukata!”

“Blasted beast!”

Cherina was in a happi.

Wearing a fundoshi.

“…Well, this is… no, no.”

“Did you say something, beast!”

She wildly patted Akira on the shoulder.

“That’s not your usual personality…”

“Women’s personalities change with their environment!”

“That’s way too much change!”

“Well then!”

Cherina firmly linked arms with me.

“You… make me change.”

“Huh?”

Next episode: “Tofu and Seaweed Miso Soup War”

Next Episode Preview!

“Oh, Romio! Why are you Romio?!”

“Ah. Julietta, why are you Julietta…?”

“Onii-chan! You’re not showing any emotion!”

Narnia scolded.

But, I didn’t feel a single pint of motivation. It couldn’t be helped.

“If you don’t do it properly, I won’t forgive you!”

“Well, it’s our fault, so…”

“Well… yeah.”

Cherina and I had made a huge blunder recently.

What happened was, we completely forgot Narnia’s birthday.

Even though we were busy, we couldn’t make it to the promised party.

But that doesn’t mean…

“Why do we have to be in a primary school play…?”

“There was a customary event by the student council.”

Knowing this, Narnia forced us to star in an original play.

The script was only provided up to the middle, and it was absurd.

Without Cherina’s financial power, this would never work…

“Forget it! Let’s move on to the next scene!”

Narnia, grumbling with onomatopoeia, handed over the new script.

“The latter half is done?”

“Yeah! Oh, it’s an amazingly good script, I’m so proud of it!”

I have a bad feeling about this…

“Alright! The final scene! Let’s start with the hot kiss scene!”

“‘Huh?!’”

Both of us exclaimed simultaneously.

“Wait?!”

“No, Narnia, that’s…!”

“What’s with that? Hurry up and get ready!”

“No, it’s just that we haven’t prepared emotionally yet…”

“This isn’t suitable for a primary school play. Rejected.”

When I said that, Cherina glared at me for a moment. Why?

“No! It’s already decided! Hurry up!”

“I’m telling you it’s not happening!”

“Akira, this won’t work… Let’s just pretend… how about that?”

“Umm… okay, I guess…”

“It’s just pretending, okay?! Pretending!”

“I get it.”

Are you really that unwilling? It’s a bit hurtful.

“Okay, Onii-chan is there! Big sister is there!”

“Yeah, yeah…”

“Then I’ll be here…”

“Hey!”

“‘Huh?’”

Suddenly, Narnia stabbed Cherina with a toy knife.

“Huh? Huh?”

“Big sister, here on this page, here, here!”

“Uh, guah! I’ve been got…! …?!”

Narnia brandished the knife.

“Alright! I’ve defeated the evil witch trying to tempt the prince!”

“Huh?”

“Then, prince! Give me a kiss…”

“‘No way!’”

“Trick or treat, give me candy or I’ll play a prank!”

What are you doing, Narnia?

“Ah, okay, okay. Just wait a bit… is there anything?”

Narnia, dressed as a witch, arrived at a shabby six-tatami mat apartment.

“Hurry up! Oh, it’s fine if there’s a lot! I brought a bag!”

“Isn’t this a bit too prepared… ah, this is all I have.”

I brought a small bag of persimmon seeds.

“…Onii-chan.”

“Don’t say it, that’s all there is.”

“I guess it can’t be helped… Onii-chan is poor.”

“Ugh! Don’t say that too!”

Stop it! My hit points are already zero!

“Thank you! See you again!”

“Don’t come every vacation.”

When I tried to return to my futon for another nap, the doorbell rang again.

“What now…?”

I opened the door in just my underwear and shirt. Probably Narnia coming back.

“Trick or aaaaaaah?!”

“Whoa?! Cherina?!”

“W-what are you wearing?! At least put on some clothes!”

“S-sorry.”

I hurriedly put on a tracksuit. But still…

“You’re dressed in a really weird way.”

“Uh… is it… weird?”

Cherina fidgeted and twisted her body.

The witch outfit was oddly revealing.

“Not weird… but…”

Isn’t it a bit too provocative?

“Well, this is troubling. There’s no more candy, you know?”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah.”

“Then… let’s go with a prank.”

Saying that, Cherina tried to enter the room.

“Hey…”

This feels like a lot of things might go wrong…

“Please don’t worry about it.”

Cherina was inexplicably blushing.

I-it’s awkward!

Just then…

“Akira! Hand over the candy!”

“Trick or treat. An interesting culture.”

“Ah! Are you leaving me out and having fun?!”

A noisy bunch arrived.

Yeah. I feel more relaxed with this group.

“Should be safe if I can escape this far…”

The young man slowly stopped his legs, which had been moving wildly.

“Quite… tired.”

Leaning against a large tree by the stream, he took out a small water pouch from his backpack and poured water over his head.

The hot head quickly cooled down.

He was equipped with lightweight armor and twin swords at his waist.

Additionally, a large two-handed sword peeked out from under his cloak.

For a traveler, he was equipped quite heavily.

The young man, having calmed his ragged breath, decided to fill the water pouch at the stream when…

Bam, thud!

The large tree broke with a loud noise.

“What?”

“I’ve found you! Vannish Last Edge!”

A young woman with flowing blonde hair and an oversized rifle was standing on a nearby embankment.

“Enemy of all women! Vicious Vannish! Hand over that scientific weapon on your back!”

Her somewhat revealing outfit didn’t seem very protective.

It might be armor to show off her perfect figure.

The young man called Vannish considered the huge rifle.

(This is bad… If they’re allowed to possess such a scientific weapon, it might be a clan with dozens of members… Are there any hidden comrades?)

Vannish carefully searched for hidden presences but saw no sign of others.

They might be exceptionally skilled.

“Hehe… Even the Erotic King is trembling and unable to speak in front of this anti-tank rifle, Tanaka Kenzo-kun!”

“Don’t call me the Erotic King! And what is this Tanaka Kenzo nonsense?”

Charging forward at high speed.

“Now! Hand over that scientific weapon, Erotic Demon King!”

“I won’t give it and it’s not a scientific weapon! It’s a magic device! And don’t casually upgrade me to Demon King!”

The young man briefly showed the large sword on his back through the gap in his cloak.

Just a brief glimpse.

“Magic device…? Then try activating it here! Ultra Erotic Demon God!”

“You even made me a god and added ultra to it, you damn woman!”

He couldn’t help but smack a nearby branch.

“What’s wrong? Hurry up and activate it! You perverted Dutchman!”

“Suddenly it got awkward! …I have no obligation to prove anything to you.”

“Then die and leave it!”

As Vannish dodged sideways, the woman’s rifle fired with a loud explosion, creating a large hole in the ground.

“Are you trying to kill me?!”

“Well, the protagonist has died, so we need to pick a new lead.”

Hagg strokes his beard.

“It should be me, of course.”

“Eh? Let’s go with the cute innkeeper girl!”

“A woman as the main character? …Well, I suppose I could do it.”

“That’s an outdated male-centric view!”

“Let’s be more gender-free!”

“If the dwarf is too much of a burden, then I’ll do it.”

Yaralai chimes in.

“So what kind of protagonist would fit the current story?”

“Hmm?”

“On that huge posting site, it would probably be an ‘I’m awesome’ type.”

“Lately, there seem to be a lot of TS (transsexual) stories, too.”

“Kindness is important.”

“I don’t think the overly muscular types are well-received.”

“Also, they’re usually rejected when illustrated.”

“Someone summarize this.”

“Hm. A gender-swapped, kind, and beautiful protagonist…”

The four of them mull it over.

“Umm…”

A girl enters the room.

“Who are you?”

“Well, I was suddenly called here.”

“I don’t recognize you.”

“Who’s that girl, sis?”

The girl takes a breath and then says…

“I am… Mouton Oran. I woke up like this this morning.”

““““Is this the new protagonist?!””””

……

“What’s going on?”

An ominous atmosphere fills the air.

It’s pitch black, and I can’t see anything.

“What happened?!”

I shout, but no one answers.

“Someone! Answer me!”

My companions who were here moments ago are gone.

“Hey! You guys! Anyone! Make a sound!”

I raise my voice.

“…It’s gone.”

“?!”

A voice?! But what is this?

“…It’s disappeared.”

I recognize the voice, but… who was it?

But it’s definitely not one of my companions.

“Who… are you?”

“It’s disappeared…”

“Tell me who you are!”

“It’s disappeared…”

I become frustrated.

“What do you mean, ‘disappeared’!!”

Suddenly, the atmosphere around the voice solidifies.

“…The preview…”

“What?”

I get a bad feeling.

“The preview has disappeared… even though it was just written…”

“Authorrrrrrrrrrrr!!”

Next Episode: “Isn’t it time to stop with the previews already?”

Seriously depressed…orz

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

“Yippee!”

I’m unusually excited.

“…Didn’t you say it was your first time?”

“It is my first time.”

“Even so, you’re quite good at it…”

First time on a ski slope, first time on a lift, first time snowboarding.

It’s hard not to be elated.

Though Cherina boasted of being an advanced skier,

She clung to me the whole time, clearly afraid of the lift.

Many people fear heights. Yeah.

“I was going to teach you, but…”

“But you’re skiing.”

“So! I told you to switch to skiing!”

“Yeah, but seeing it made me want to try this.”

Actually, I secretly thought snowboards were cheaper to rent than skis.

“Even so, aren’t you suddenly too good at this?”

“Is that so? It’s just about balance, right?”

I often climb on roofs during part-time jobs.

“Ugh… seriously.”

“Why don’t we go for one more run together?”

“Huh?”

Cherina’s eyes widen.

“Oh, you don’t have to force yourself to keep up with me. If you want, I can go alone…”

“I’ll go! I’ll go!”

“…Alright, then…”

“Onii-chan—!!!”

A familiar voice cuts in.

“Stop, stop, stop—!!!”

Narnia rushes in, descending headfirst.

“That idiot.”

I use my arms to catch and pull Narnia in.

“What are you doing? It’s dangerous!”

“Because… Yaralai told me to do this…”

Yaralai gracefully turns and glides down.

“Indeed. Well done.”

“That’s not what I meant, you idiot. What if someone gets hurt?”

“It’s okay, I was watching.”

“You were rushing down!”

“Akira, there you are. I’m fine.”

“Don’t pin this on me!”

“Onii-chan… Stay with me…”

Narnia clings to me, tears (and snot) streaming down.

“Alright, alright. I’ll keep an eye on Yaralai so he doesn’t push his luck.”

“That’s not fair. I’ll train you to be a top athlete in three days.”

“No thanks! I just want to ski normally!”

“…Not satisfied.”

“Ugh…”

Reluctantly, the three of us head to the beginner’s lift.

Leaving only one very angry red-haired beauty behind.

Next Episode: “In Another World, Chit Chat Means Fried Chicken and Mayonnaise!”

The taste of Kewpie mayonnaise is something you can’t replicate at home.

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

“Hey! Akira! Grill these too!”

What’s handed to me are several DVD-Rs.

Each with suspicious handwritten titles.

The man who shouted has tattoos visible on his arm.

Where did my life go wrong…

Or was it all inevitable?

“Akira! Burn 1000 copies by today! Also, take orders from customers!”

Now, he throws a mobile phone at me.

Alone in a dark room.

The only sound is the duplicator whirring.

I write down occasional orders on paper.

It’s crazy that people still call public payphones for such things…

Unaware I’m being registered on a shady list.

……

Where did I make a mistake in my life?

I think it was near the end of high school.

A well-known company offered, “If you drop out of high school and work for us, we’ll hire you.”

It was one of many job offers, but not the one I was most excited about.

After much deliberation, I turned it down, wanting to graduate high school.

……

The rest of my life was a mess.

Unable to find a job, I ended up in part-time work.

Was getting involved in “shady” part-time work introduced by a senior the turning point?

From there, my life spiraled down.

Before I knew it, I was sharing drinks with a certain organization, now a younger brother.

And here I am now.

…Where did it all go wrong…?

Next Episode: “Magical Narnia Change Form!”

It should be bright this time. Probably. Maybe.

===========================================

Next Episode Preview!

Shopping at the supermarket.

Cabbage and pork belly.

Return to the apartment and cook it up.

“……”

Added barbecue sauce, but the taste is faint.

Look out the window.

It’s overcast and gloomy.

Close my eyes.

The familiar SHOP list is not displayed.

How many days has it been since I came back from that other world?

I shouldn’t need to live in this shabby apartment anymore.

With the return came countless rewards.

Yet somehow, a clean, tax-processed fortune sits in my savings account.

Most of it remains untouched.

Even if I spend a little at convenience stores or supermarkets, it won’t even cover the interest.

Such a huge sum that could cover living expenses just from interest in this low-interest world……

Why? I wanted the money.

I wanted to quit my job.

I wanted to live a life of leisure.

It was supposed to be realized, but the loneliness that feels like stepping on fallen leaves remains.

I recall the various people I met in that world.

“I……”

Took a can of beer from the fridge and drank it. Not just beer anymore.

Still, the loneliness didn’t go away.

Until death.

Forever.

Next Time: “The Melancholy of the Up-Quark”

It’s dark!!

===========================================

[Unimportant Talk]

“It seems the stock of this work has finally run out?”

Cherina elegantly sipped her tea and said.

“Oh, is that so?”

I took a sip of my cold coffee.

“Well, if you keep updating without a plan, this is bound to happen……”

“Actually, the initial plan was to schedule posts once a day to extend it a bit further.”

“So why the continuous updates, such foolishness…… Well, it’s not new for the author to do foolish things.”

“Well, there are a few reasons. One is that it seemed likely to reach 1 million PV within a month.”

“Why care about numbers……”

I sighed and shook my head.

“Another reason is that the deadline for the Net Novel Award was today, so they wanted to advance the story.”

“That’s shallow. A good story is interesting from the first episode.”

“Well, I won’t go that far……”

Cherina slightly furrowed her brows.

“So? Why are we here when we were supposed to skip the previews?”

“Well, uh…… ‘It’s easier if you leave the afterwords to you, as you start doing comedy on your own…'”

The words stopped there, and then Cherina stood up, wrapping her usual red chain around herself.

“Excuse me. An urgent matter has come up. It seems I need to administer a lesson……”

“Wait.”

I stood up and stopped her.

“I’m coming too.”

Holding a nearby nail bat for some reason.

“Let’s go.”

“Let’s go.”

Due to the author’s sudden illness, we will be taking a break this week.

The synopsis has been updated to align with the progress of the story.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hagg swung down his iron hammer.

The earth shook, and the table shattered.

“Hmph, too slow.”

Yaralai thrusts out a thick black needle.

“Too sweet!”

Hagg’s right arm glowed and then deflected the black needle with a sweeping motion. The powerful deflection made the Dread Elf slightly lose balance.

Then the iron hammer swung sideways, but Yaralai dodged by crawling and lunged into the Dwarf’s guard. A sharp knife, somehow in hand, was clutched tightly.

Blood sprayed out.

But it only sliced the surface of the skin, blocked by the wall of muscle.

Hagg grinned. As Yaralai tried to dodge backwards, a rock-like fist struck him.

Yaralai fell back and readied his stance again, a trickle of blood running from his lips.

Yaralai also wore a fierce grin.

“Not bad, Dwarf.”

“Hmph. You as well.”

Thus, the two’s deadly battle began.

Next Time: “Doki! Alone Together in the Snowy Mountain?!”

Who said they’d never do it again?

The End
