Kyou kara Ma no Tsuku Jiyuugyou! Vol 12 Prologue

 

Ah~~ My little brother, I cry for you.

Thou shalt not die[1]&h.e.l.lip; No, I’m not like our old man, I’m not the type of pacifist that would rather nothing happens.

When I take over as governor, I’ll abolish progressive taxes that change according to your earnings, and hold the New World Expo R[2], even if I won’t get the Akutagawa Prize or the Naoki Prize.The script for “New Soap Bubble Holiday HG”[3] must also always be rewritten.

But now isn’t the time to think about how I’m going to handle politics ten years later, because the brother who’s every bit important as my reputation has actually gone missing in an alternate world! Upon closer interrogation, I found out that that’s a scary place where skeletons fly in the sky and have their own consciousness! How can I possibly leave precious Yuu-chan in that Skeleton Island&h.e.l.lip; No, that scary world!

Come to think of it, growing up, rescuing my little brother has always been my duty. I still remember that time when we were young, Yuu-chan forgot to put down the toilet seat before sitting down. While he was stuck and bawling his eyes out, the one to save him wasn’t Mom or Dad, but me! Right now, my baby brother must be in a foreign land, crying out in fear, “Nii-chan—Nii-chan--!”

Wait for me, Yuu-chan! Nii-chan will definitely save you! I’ll cross the Niagara Falls, now, your big brother wants to Be with You[4].
