A request for a lifetime...
A request for a lifetime!
That useless little sister had said it so solemnly—how could Sogo Doma possibly refuse? Once he failed to refuse a request like that...
"Onii-chan, a new game came out! This is absolutely Umaru's request for a lifetime..."
"Onii-chan, this is Umaru's only request in this lifetime..."
