A super great writer in the second dimension

　Ultimately, I concluded that our Sanzenin must seize this thing at all costs.

　..

222. Game/Anime/Artificial Intelligence Project

　Emperor Sanzenin remained silent for a while after hearing this.

　After a moment, he said, "I'm leaving this matter to you. Although his technology can't control the entire economic chain, it shouldn't be underestimated. It's worthwhile for our family to invest in a large research institute for him. I already have a location in mind. Someone come here."

　Emperor Sanzenin waved his hand, and a SP in a black suit walked over and placed a map on the table.

　This is a world map.

　Arashi Sanzenin squinted and looked over. Her grandfather was holding a marker, drawing a circle on the African side, and then writing a few words on it.

　Saradia.

　"Artificial intelligence with self-learning capabilities must have its technology protected. This is a bunker. Set up the research lab in Japan and have Ryunosuke Akasaka operate it remotely, directing the researchers there to conduct technological research and development. Hmm, right here, drill through the ground."

　Michiko Sanzenin said slowly, "You should have a memory of this tropical rainforest?"

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded.

　He said, "This forest is a natural shelter. During World War II, the Allied forces stationed an army division nearby. They hid their tanks in the forest, cleverly avoiding air reconnaissance. Moreover, according to rumors, there is gold buried under this forest, which is a batch of supplies that could not be transported in time."

　Before the end of World War II, similar treasures were buried in many places, and some ships transporting gold were sunk.

　There was once a treasure hunt craze in Saradia, but it eventually subsided because people found nothing.

　Sanzenin Arashi had been on the run in that godforsaken place for a day and a night, so if we're talking about familiarity, he was definitely very familiar with it.

　I just don't know why Grandpa suddenly brought this up.

　Does he intend to hollow out the space beneath the rainforest?

　He looked up and glanced at Hisako Shinto beside him.

　Is it appropriate for her to know about this?

　"It's alright, it's your private pet anyway. Show some spirit, what kind of behavior is this?" Michiko Sanzenin pointed to the red circle on the map. "This area was hollowed out a long time ago, forming a natural air-raid shelter structure in the rainforest, which saved me a lot of effort. Originally, this was a supply storage point, and now it's conveniently available for you to use. Do you understand what I mean?"

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded. The large, intertwined roots beneath the giant tree extended like the basic framework of a house. Constructing similar facilities in such a place would save a lot of effort.

　The soil is compressed by the roots into a firm, concrete-like structure; once waterproofing is done, it can be used.

　Emperor Sanzenin continued speaking.

　"Regarding your recent project, it seems to be called 'Anime & Manga'?"

　"Yes, Grandpa."

　"Tell me your plans?" Michiko Sanzenin asked.

　Sanzenin Arashi understood immediately and said directly, "It's not good to conduct artificial intelligence testing in a big way, but this kind of technology needs a huge amount of intellectual property to scrutinize it and find every bug and vulnerability. I want to combine it with games."

　I told the audience that this was a highly realistic AI, and similar gimmicks had been popping up all the time in the entertainment industry, so we could do it openly and legitimately. Then I operated it under the name Aoyama, covering up the shadow of Sanzenin.

　The player's goal is the game itself, to obtain a sense of enjoyment through it.

　Artificial intelligence can undoubtedly meet their requirements, so players will spend more time on my game, finding as many bugs and vulnerabilities as possible for me.

　Meanwhile, the entertainment industry has never really received much attention, so as long as I keep the Nishikawa family in check, there won't be any problems.

　I even want Nishikawa Hayato to take the position of head of the family. He is very obedient and admires me greatly.

　"Is Grandpa planning to involve Japanese zaibatsu in this matter?"

　After Sanzenin Arashi finished asking his question, Sanzenin Emperor remained silent for a while.

　As for Nishikawa Hayato, Sanzenin Arashi had investigated his background. He had no talent from a young age, so he was neglected by his family. Despite being the legitimate son, he only inherited a library. Moreover, he was already a biker gang member in high school and had done many crazy things.

　This person is very loyal.

　If you are willing to treat him well, he will repay you handsomely.

　Sanzenin Arashi made a point of observing Tomita Hiroshi in the hall; his relationship with Nishikawa was a prime example of this.

　After a moment, Emperor Sanzenin nodded. "You did a good job today in winning over the Nishikawa family's side. This conglomerate focuses on the entertainment industry, which will be much more convenient in many ways. Moreover, Japan is an entertainment powerhouse, which is perfect for advancing our plans. This is artificial intelligence. Our old rival has been studying it for half a century and still only has a superficial understanding of it. They have made a fundamental mistake."

　Sanzenin Arashi laughed, "The development language is wrong, how can it achieve this effect? ​​Akasaka Ryunosuke is undoubtedly a genius worth our investment. I will set up an electronics company, put him in the position of president, give him money, help him build a research institute, any help is not a problem, but he must work for us."

　Hisako Shinto, listening from the side, broke out in a cold sweat.

　This is a grand strategy.

　But she, an outsider, overheard all of this.

　Don't listen! I don't want to hear it!!! Plug my ears!!!

　We can't get off the ship anymore.

　At this moment, Emperor Sanzenin asked, "Are you confident about the Nishikawa family?"

　I've also seen the SP investigation materials. Nishikawa Hayato's closest person isn't a direct relative, but rather Tomita Hiroshi, his childhood follower.

　"So, Grandpa, I plan to elevate both of them, giving them status and money. Meanwhile, I have high hopes for Xichuan. As long as his family members aren't stupid, they'll start to value him. I'll then go along with it and put him on the position of family head, or at the very least, the first heir. Although he has several older brothers, how can those good-for-nothings hinder our plans?"

　Sanzenin Arashi sneered: "I am, after all, the heir of the Sanzenin family. I know everything they do, but I have better methods that I choose not to use. Those petty tricks are meaningless to me. I just need to have a meal at the Nishikawa family and have a pleasant chat with their elders, and all the problems will be solved."

　Emperor Sanzenin smiled.

　This grandson, at such a young age, already knows how to use his position to get things done, and he's quite adept at making grand promises.

　At this moment, SP walked over, handed over a mask, and whispered, "Young master, the masquerade ball has already begun."

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and reached out to take it. "Grandpa, I'm going to play for a bit. You can just sit back and enjoy yourself. After all, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things more clearly."

　"Go then." Emperor Sanzenin waved his hand with a kind expression.

　..

223. Everything has an ending that goes from ordinary to extraordinary.

　Subtitle: Happiness or Sorrow?

　Sanzenin Arashi patted Kafuu Chino's little head.

　"Please stop, Uncle Lan."

　"The dance has started, isn't Chino going to participate?"

　"I won't be participating," Chino Kafuu said, covering her face with her sleeve.

　Sanzenin Arashi said with a smile, "But to become an idol, dancing is an essential skill."

　"Idol!!!" Chino reacted somewhat excessively to this word.

　"But even so, I don't want to attend this ball..."

　Sanzenin Arashi's "lifting young girls high" plan has been declared bankrupt.

　I think there's still a chance to save him.

　"Can you tell me why?" Sanzenin Arashi maintained her smile; this was a sign of poor health.

　They've all become less lively.

　"The uncle outside is scary."

　Chino looked terrified and said, "Although I'm not scared, I just don't want to go."

　"You have the potential to be arrogant in the future," Sanzenin Arashi said with a smile, patting her little head.

　"Please don't do this... Uncle Lan."

　I was completely smitten by how cute it was.

　The dining tables in the hall were moved to both sides, the main dishes were removed, and some exquisite fruit platters and snacks were placed on them. Three crystal crescent-shaped bowls were placed on each table, with candlelight inside, gently heating some of the drinks on them.

　Red wine was laid out to the side for casual drinking, while the pianist played an elegant nocturne nearby.

　In the ballroom, elites from all walks of life danced gracefully with their partners. In an inconspicuous corner, Sanzenin Arashi held Ulrika's small hand, their little leather shoes and pretty high heels stepping out with elegant dance steps.

　The princess wore a silver mask on her fair face. The butterfly design made this beautiful lady look exceptionally elegant. The close proximity of the ballroom dance allowed the two to feel each other's breath.

　The expression on the small face beneath the mask was unreadable, whether it was happiness or sorrow. This classic, understated, and elegant ball, which has evolved from the Middle Ages to the present day, has become a favorite pastime of upper-class gentlemen. They would have a one-night stand with a masked female companion, neither of them knowing each other, and then part ways in the morning, with neither of them having to take responsibility for the other.

　The nocturne ended, and the dance floor quieted down.

　Sanzenin Arashi wrapped his arm around Ulrika's slender waist, their eyes meeting, as if they were about to say something.

　But then the music changed, a Latin tune began, and the melody of tango filled the dance floor.

　"Never mind, I want to rest for a bit." Ulrika waved her hand. "Time's almost up, I have to get back to the embassy by nine."

　Sanzenin Arashi glanced at her watch, which showed 8:34.

　"Shall I take you?" he asked.

　"no need."

　"But I feel like you're in a bad mood today?"

　Ulrika removed her mask, and several people who happened to be watching her gasped in surprise.

　This jewel of Britain was dancing right beside them...

　Who is that man?

　At this moment, Sanzenin Arashi was wearing a gray mask, making it impossible to see his face.

　Seeing this, he led Ulrika to the doorway.

　The Sanzenin family's SP stopped several people who had followed them. Sanzenin Arashi stood on the grass by the door and sighed, "Aren't you afraid of being followed when you take off your mask there?"

　Unlike Arashi Sanzenin, Princess is a complete public figure.

　This woman has tens of millions of followers on Twitter; if she shows her face to ten people, one person will recognize her.

　Any ten people in this world!

　"Would your Sanzenin family allow guests to be followed like this?" Ulrika retorted.

　"Please don't do this... Your Highness."

　"You're calling me that again?"

　“Okay... Lily.”

　"Um... I have to go back now. Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you..."

　"Ok?"

　"Don't make women worry, you jerk..."

　"..." Sanzenin Arashi believed that there was nothing he could do about the hijacking, as the country of Saradia was already under his close surveillance.

　"There won't be a next time. I'll be more careful."

　"That's good……"

　“You seem troubled, Lily.” Sanzenin Arashi grabbed her slender arm. “Won’t you tell your childhood friend?”

　"What, are you interested in British secrets?"

　“Your worries are something else, Lily, I understand you.” Sanzenin Arashi pursed her lips. “We understand each other, right?”

　Ulrika narrowed her eyes. "No need. If I wanted to tell you, I would have already. See you next time."

　At the entrance, Her Highness the Princess's personal carriage was already parked.

　The banquet ended quickly.

　Aki Tomoya, a minor, was forced to drink alcohol and was sleeping on the sofa like a dead pig.

　Ito Shizuka was drawing a large turtle on his face.

　Hmm, turtle!

　Yukinoshita was completely drunk by Sanzenin Arashi, who was sitting on the balcony reeking of alcohol.

　The maid brought in a piano.

　His only audience was Yukino Yukinoshita.
