A super great writer in the second dimension

　"They didn't even come to my crowning ceremony. So it was in Japan."

　"Hmm, have we had any diplomatic exchanges with this country recently?"

　A beautiful young woman with cascading blonde hair stood at the doorway and asked with a smile.

　..

29. That bitch from the Nakiri family actually dared to do this...

　The father and son both froze in the office.

　Why would Princess Ulrika, the jewel of Great Britain and the future heir to Her Majesty the Queen, come to this place?

　Those beautiful blue eyes were fixed on Joshua, and despite being stared at by such a beauty, he couldn't straighten up at all.

　The memory of being ridden like a horse when he was a child reminded the boy that the person in front of him was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

　"Does Your Highness wish to go to Japan?" Cassius asked.

　With royalty present, he couldn't remain seated any longer, so he stood up and smiled, saying, "If that's the case, Your Highness should first submit the necessary paperwork for approval. I don't offer any travel planning services for royalty."

　Joshua simply stood aside. Although Princess Ulrika had a very good reputation and a near-perfect appearance, he couldn't figure out any way to get along with her peacefully.

　Ulrika walked in nonchalantly, glanced around, then looked to the side and asked, "You did say that you wanted a woman of similar age to be in the same class as my knight... What does that mean? Can Lord Bright explain?"

　Joshua raised an eyebrow. Why was the other person looking in his direction?!

　Memories of being bullied during his childhood made the boy unable to resist backing down...

　Then the boy turned to look at his father, and a chill ran down his spine. The father's smiling face told him that he was probably in trouble.

　—This princess is so ruthless that she replaced all the students in her class with boys for her own purposes. Her ruthless methods to achieve her goals are just like those of a female dragon... Perhaps the rumors that King Arthur had red dragon blood are true? Who knows, maybe Ulrika has reverted to her ancestral form here?

　Ulrika's beauty makes it impossible to associate her with such a thing.

　"Thinking about it now, it's not a good idea."

　Joshua, a diplomat, wasn't just a figure of speech; he had an exceptional ability to formulate his arguments, and he could spout nonsense without batting an eye: "Moonlight Knight Sanzenin Arashi, his mother is the daughter of a Western duke, how could he go to a commoner's school..."

　"Wait," Ulrika said.

　The girl waved her hand: "This is a great way to do it, isn't it?"

　Joshua was taken aback.

　Cassius shook his head. His son was an upright man; how could he possibly compete with the princess? Ten of them wouldn't be enough for her to handle.

　"The problem is, isn't it the wrong school he went to?"

　Ulrika said casually, "I heard he's been writing a novel lately... I'd like to read it too."

　"And that bitch from the Nakiri family, how dare she do such a thing to my people... I've put up with her for a long time."

　pat...

　Joshua lost his footing.

　How could a princess possibly use a word like "bitch"... It must be my imagination.

　Joshua chuckled dryly, deciding to pretend he hadn't heard what the princess had said.

　then……

　Ulrika reached out her hand to Joshua.

　"Bring it here."

　"Uh……"

　Joshua rubbed his temples: "This..."

　"Give me your phone."

　Ulrika said with a smile, "This is a royal order, bring it here."

　It's late afternoon.

　Sanzenin Arashi went to Eriri's house to finish the manuscript for the second School Days book, and then sat at home enjoying a feast.

　The book review section, which had been quiet all day, was definitely the best form of entertainment for him at that moment.

　NICO has reached 200,000 hits. In Japan, a website that has only been online for a day and a half can achieve this result, which is simply a miracle.

　There were over five thousand people online at the same time, which means that a lot of people were waiting for my update.

　"It's time to announce some news." Sanzenin Arashi pondered, thinking that his Sword Art Online could also get good publicity through this website.

　With 5,000 people following the story, it goes without saying that these people will definitely buy Sword Art Online.

　This is just a very conservative estimate. Once the website has settled down for another half month and Sword Art Online is released, there will definitely be even more people, at least several times more.

　Sanzenin Arashi updates daily, adding corresponding illustrations. Almost every scene has its own illustration, which serves as the best reading aid, captivating the reader and making them feel as if they are there.

　If other authors or illustrators knew that he was providing an illustration for each chapter, they would definitely think he was crazy, a lunatic who was overdoing things and didn't know how to do things properly.

　However, Arashi Sanzenin thought this was the right thing to do, because only with a good reputation could they carve out their own niche in a highly competitive place like Japan and reap many times the rewards.

　Sanzenin Arashi opened the book review section, and sure enough, it was already in an uproar.

　I uploaded illustrations from Bakemonogatari last night, and those from Battle Through the Heavens were also uploaded in the early hours of the morning, receiving hundreds of comments, but that was only a reaction within a few hours.

　Now, a whole day has passed, and the comments section is absolutely exploding.

　Many readers never expected that such a personal serial website would have illustrations, let alone such high-quality illustrations.

　..

30. This is a very serious issue.

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at the screen with satisfaction.

　[The site administrator is amazing... The novel is so great, and the illustrations are fantastic too. At first, I thought Battle Through the Heavens would follow the Romeo and Juliet route, but after reading the update today, I didn't expect it to be such an action-packed story. I even lost my appetite for dinner while reading it.]

　[Uploading 10,000 words daily, the site owner must be a professional writer, and a well-established one at that, otherwise how could they possibly produce books of this quality?]

　[Bakemonogatari felt somewhat familiar, and the character development was good. The story, based on ghost stories, was really interesting. But Battle Through the Heavens still felt refreshing to me, and the female lead is so beautiful...]

　[Hey admin, give me your Pixiv ID! I'll definitely follow you!]

　[Who do you think you are? People update so many novels every day, they don't have time to read the book review section. Instead of saying all this, just spam the comments section. Let's go!]

　Then this guy flooded the screen with comments like "Don't underestimate a young person's potential," and even when someone interrupted the thread or a new comment appeared, it couldn't stop him from spamming the screen.

　but.

　In the book review section with its many comments, there was a very long joke that caught Sanzenin Arashi's eye. After reading it, she couldn't help but slap the table and burst out laughing.

　[Website owner, please note: I'm a visual novel commentator with a considerable following. I've already pinned your website to the top of my feed. Could we meet in person? I have so many thoughts I want to discuss with you!]

　A well-known blogger, after reading Sanzenin Arashi's book, decided to promote it for him free of charge!

　The condition was that we meet in person so I could offer some advice, and I even mentioned my blog.

　"What if it's a girl?" Sanzenin Arashi clicked on it with that thought in mind.

　As we all know, female critics, especially those in the anime and manga community, can gain a huge following as long as they aren't too unattractive and do a lot of cosplay. They can easily rival second- or third-tier celebrities.

　If a blogger like this is willing to promote it for free, then Sanzenin Arashi has already made a huge profit at this stage.

　It's not about the money.

　With only 500,000 yen on him, he was penniless and couldn't even afford a single day's worth of advertising.

　My interest was immediately piqued.

　When she clicked in, Sanzenin Arashi sighed. It wasn't a girl; it was a deeply nerdy magician, an old otaku.

　Looking at the number of followers on his blog, Sanzenin Arashi's interest was piqued again.

　There are around 300,000 followers, which is more than the number of followers of the promotional blogger we invited yesterday!

　This blogger featured his own website, NICO, at the top of the page, along with a comment that even Sanzenin Arashi had to take seriously.

　The novel is rich in content, with natural scene transitions, suitable for a wide audience, and of excellent quality.

　The illustrations are incredibly well-made, so detailed it's astonishing. At first, I thought it was from a major game company releasing a new project, but then I realized it was an individual's work.

　[A toast to workers! He deserves better. The novel is completely free, and the illustrations are top-notch. Recommendation rating: A]

　The writing was quite fair and simple, without any exaggeration, deliberate belittling, or manipulation. Now Sanzenin Arashi knows how this blogger accumulated their popularity.

　Because his comments were quite practical and of high quality.

　Such a person is likable no matter where they are.

　Sanzenin Arashi browsed through other comments and recommendations on the blog and found that, just as the blogger said, she was indeed a person from the anime and manga community, only recommending games, anime, light novels, and manga, and had no connection to other business circles at all.

　Like the bloggers that Sanzenin Arashi invited yesterday, they all have a lot of commercial links, using their popularity to earn a decent side income.

　But this blogger has no commercial links whatsoever; he's like a glass of clear water, allowing you to see a diligent and hardworking person sitting across from him.

　Even Sanzenin Arashi saw that many people left comments under the pinned comment, and readers of Doupo and Bakemonogatari were also helping to stir up trouble.

　Here, one has to admire the situation in Japan. Customers are very discerning when something is made to make money, but if you do it for free and do it well, you can gain a large number of loyal fans, and when you commercialize it, they will still support you without hesitation.

　So, in order to get this highly valuable recommendation spot, Sanzenin Arashi directly clicked on the blogger's face.

　Then he left his address on the blogger's Facebook page, shut down his computer, and picked up his phone—because it had been ringing nonstop since the beginning.

　Upon opening it, Sanzenin Arashi immediately frowned.

　The number prefixed with "Senior Brother" received 82 text messages.

　This made Sanzenin Arashi take it seriously, and when she clicked on it, her brows furrowed even deeper.

　"What does this mean..." Sanzenin Arashi stared at the email, which was filled with a bunch of nonsense—[Have you eaten yet?] [What did you have for dinner?] [Is it cold in Japan?] etc., and each question was completely different...

　Did my expressionless senior brother get hit on the head by Big Ben and turn into a goofball?

　As shrewd as he is, why would he send these things for no reason...?

　Sanzenin Arashi rubbed her temples and sent a reply.

　--What's up?

　"Did Joshua bump his head on the Tower of London...?"

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at the text message on her phone and felt completely overwhelmed.

　Senior, I won't stop you from going down the cross-dressing route, but please don't talk to me anymore, okay?

　Shaking his head and sighing, he received another question on the other end of the phone.

　—What do you think of Princess Ulrika?

　When Sanzenin Arashi looked at this question, she felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

　..

31. A literary girl's style is really attractive.

　Sanzenin Arashi felt a pang of stomach ache when she thought of her childhood friend. A princess like that, following her around like a shadow—it was truly remarkable that she could go to such lengths.

　It's impossible to say I never had feelings for this woman, because she was so beautiful. But Ulrika, as the eldest princess and the jewel of the royal family, was almost impossible for me to be with.

　I've always treated her like a younger sister since I was little.

　Even after experiencing the taste of a woman, Sanzenin Arashi's thoughts remained unchanged.

　He could never marry into a prince's family, and there is no woman in the world who would allow Sanzenin Arashi to do so.

　Coming to her senses, Sanzenin Arashi patted her head.

　This question left him stunned for at least fifteen minutes. He typed out the answer on his phone very seriously, then simply turned it off and prepared to meet the blogger.

　I'm confident that with my eloquence, I can secure a longer recommendation period.

　The agreed-upon location was a coffee shop in Chiba City. This time, it wasn't as ordinary as before; simply put…

　This is a maid café, designated by that blogger. He must be a very deep-seated old otaku. In Sanzenin Arashi's opinion, these maids are completely crooked. They walk with trays on their hands and feet... well, their gait is very impolite, and their polite speech is a mess. How can they be considered maids?

　Sanzenin Arashi was not a commoner. The maids she usually encountered were either those who served royalty or nobles, or maids she had raised herself from childhood. Looking at these people, she found them to be full of flaws, even worse than restaurant waiters.
