A Sister's All You Need (妹さえいればいい。)

Wakey-wakey.

Rise and shine!

That's my big bro.

Good morning!

Hey, Alice. Morning.

This is my little sister Alice.

She may not look it,

but she'll be turning fourteen this year.

Well, this won't do. You're still so sweepy!

Guess I'll just have to do something to wake you up.

Normally I'd want to keep going, but today's special.

'Cause I made breakfast and set the table all by myself!

So, hurry your butt downstairs before it gets cold!

I'll be right there.

I washed my face in the bathwater

that my sister just used

and wiped it dry with her bra.

-Then headed for the kitchen. -Uh...

There, I found Yoshiko, who should have died yesterday.

I was very surprised.

Well, what are you waiting for?

I made it just for you so dig in!

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Laid before me was an omelet made from Alice's eggs

and a cup of Alice's milk.

So creamy and rich.

The taste of my little sister spread throughout my mouth.

Her newly hatched eggs and freshly squeezed milk

tasted delicious!

You silly-head.

You've got some ketchup

on the corner of your mouth.

What am I gonna do with you?

Alice reached through a portal to a parallel world,

pulled out some just-worn panties,

and wiped my mouth with them.

My little sister's hot, fresh-off-the-crotch panties

tasted so good!

The alluring aroma and tender taste

of her succulent juices swirled around in my head!

This was enlightenment!

The hell is this?

Easy there! Where'd that come from, man?

Oh, don't you give me that. You moron!

This world is a mess. I'm at a loss for words!

At a loss for words, huh?

I take it you've been moved by my masterpiece?

You are unbelievably stupid.

All right, just in case I'm misunderstanding somehow,

this is supposed to be your manuscript

for the second chapter of "The Scarlet Jager," right?

That's correct, sir.

That's funny.

According to the chapter synopsis,

in the opening of chapter two,

the protagonist is shocked when the heroine

who died protecting him from a demon's attack

at the end of chapter one

is having breakfast at his house the next morning,

like nothing ever happened.

And? What's your point? That's what I wrote about.

Are we talking about the same thing?

The protagonist clearly says he was surprised.

And why was he surprised?

'Cause what's-her-face was there.

It's Yoshiko!

How can you forget the name

of the main heroine?

But I guess that plotline is in here,

even if it feels totally out of place.

Good grief.

What am I going to do with an editor like you?

Oh, you are not about to blame this on me.

Anyway, that's not even

the biggest problem here.

What is?

Who the hell is this new

Alice character

that's in every scene?

I've never once been told

about this girl!

She's the dude's little sis.

If you'd paid attention to his character bio

that I so painstakingly wrote, you'd know that.

It was a single sentence!

I assumed she'd just be a background character

but you made her a freak!

If by freak you mean freakishly cute,

then you've totally nailed it!

No, you dumbass!

Not only is she naked all the time,

which is already a big enough offense,

but she's got ridiculous powers that only exist to encourage

her big brother's deranged fetish!

I mean, the guy wiped his face with his sister's bra

and then ate her dirty underwear!

Come on, man!

-He's just... -Mm-hmm.

"Disgusting" isn't enough, but there's no better word!

Let me just confirm

that you didn't accidentally type "panties"

instead of some kind of food.

I'm insulted.

I'm a professional.

I'd never make such

a stupid mistake like that.

So, "Alice's milk" wasn't a mistake?

Of course not. It's simply milk from her boobs.

Delicious, rich, creamy boob milk

How about Alice's eggs?

Delicious eggs that Alice laid.

I told you, I wouldn't make a mistake like that.

Denied.

-Huh? -Denied!

We could never publish this!

Settle down. I admit that I may have gone

just a teensy bit too far

with the whole milk and eggs thing.

But the story's about psychic powers.

Shouldn't I be able to include some things

that are a little unorthodox?

A little... unorthodox?

Yeah, it happens all the time.

Like when the hero's parents

turn out to be some legendary adventurer.

Or they're the heir of some ancient martial art,

and only they have the skills--

What is wrong with you?

How does a world where people lay eggs and eat panties

compare to a battle story with cliche plot points?

Uh...

Okay, but washing your face with the bathwater

your sister just used is normal.

So, can we keep that? Everyone does it.

Like hell everyone does it!

You friggin' sister-complex freak!

I'm serious.

I'm rejecting that manuscript.

I don't mind you working on a new project,

but you better still be progressing

with volume five of "Mahou Academy."

The deadline's at the end of the month.

Yeah. I got it covered.

Why do I feel like you're lying to me?

I don't know, but I'm not!

I'll get it done.

Honestly, his obsession with little sisters

is always a problem.

Hello, Toki.

How are you?

Oh.

Hey, Chihiro. I'm good.

Here for a meeting with my brother?

Yeah, we just finished up, actually.

That looks heavy.

-You pick up stuff for dinner? -Yeah.

Bro's got guests coming over, so I bought extra.

You seem like

a pretty reliable younger brother, kid.

Well, I guess.

Oh.

Thank you for always keeping my brother on track.

I really appreciate it.

Hey, no problem.

Well, I'll be on my way, then.

If only Chihiro were his younger sister,

Itsuki probably wouldn't have ended up

with his little fixation.

A sister's all he needs.

Then again, he probably wouldn't have become

an author at all if that were the case.

Talk about complicated.

- -Hmm?

Hey.

Hey.

I ran into Toki on my way here.

Huh?

Did your meeting with him go well?

Yeah, totally.

Hmm.

So, what are you makin' tonight?

Either stir-fried shrimp or paella.

Take a guess at what was on sale today.

Yeah, shrimp.

Hmm?

Yo.

Hot guy comin' through.

-Hey. -Come on.

I was trying to be funny. Play along.

Whoa, smells great!

How are things, Fuwa?

-Good? -Hey, Chihiro.

Yup.

By the way, I brought a gift.

Mind if I find a place for it in the fridge?

Oh, not at all!

You do know this is my apartment, right?

I know, I know. What's yours is mine.

So, how's your new series going?
