A super great writer in the second dimension

　'I'm the one who's wrong.' Sanzenin Arashi rubbed his nose. 'It's a manga, isn't it...'

　"Are you willing to help me?" Eriri asked, her eyes shining as she looked over.

　“I can help you, but there are conditions.” Sanzenin Arashi calmed down, thought for a moment, and then said directly, “Explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly, otherwise I will have a hard time explaining to your mother.”

　"Oh……"

　Eriri gave a not-so-happy look and said, "It's like this... The day before yesterday, when I came home from school, my mom brought me the theme for the next fanfiction."

　My business is commercial, and my mother has always been the one selling the artwork, so she also decides the themes of the paintings.

　Mom tossed the things to me and went to take a shower.

　I opened the file folder and saw that she had made a mistake, because inside was a... transaction record.

　Sales records for completed comics will be kept as proof.

　Then... I went through my mom's bag, and then..."

　"So, because of this, you found something in Sayuri's bag... and that's why you started imagining all this?" Sanzenin Arashi asked.

　“Hmm…” Eriri nodded: “I think I need to do something. I don’t want to go to university either, because I’ll definitely rely on what I’m doing now to make a living in the future.”

　Sanzenin Arashi let out a breath.

　He looked at Eriri.

　The girl was acting strangely; the T-shirt she was wearing was a men's style, and the shorts she was wearing belonged to Yang Nai.

　The reason I knew this was because last night, Yang Nai had sex with me while wearing these pants.

　call……

　Sanzenin Arashi took another deep breath.

　"Okay, I understand."

　"Then?" Eriri asked.

　Just as Sanzenin Arashi was about to speak, her phone rang.

　Eriri suppressed her anticipation and obediently sat to the side, glancing over in their direction.

　As soon as I took out my phone, Sanzenin Arashi quietly covered the screen.

　The caller ID displayed three words.

　Sayuri.

　Looking at Eriri, Sanzenin Arashi said, "My deputy called me. I'll go answer it now. You wait for me here and don't go anywhere."

　Eriri nodded.

　Sanzenin Arashi quickly got up, went to the bedroom, and answered the phone.

　"Eri's gone missing! Can you help me find her?" Sayuri's voice was anxious. "She disappeared yesterday afternoon and didn't go to school. If this continues, I'm going to call the police..."

　Her husband was transferred back to England, and now she's home alone with her daughter. When her daughter suddenly disappeared, Xiaobaihe was frantic, like a cat on a hot tin roof.

　“Eri is with me,” said Arashi Sanzenin. “She’s had too much fun and is sleeping on the sofa now.”

　"What exactly happened...can you tell me?" Sayuri asked.

　"It's probably just a rebellious phase; I just don't want to go to school, nothing else."

　"I see..." Xiaobaihe breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll leave it to you."

　"Okay, I'll call you once Eriri calms down."

　"Um……"

　The first thing Sanzenin Arashi did after hanging up the phone was to turn on her computer.

　Then he logged into Twitter, spotted Sayuri's official Twitter account that sold doujinshi, and clicked "send email."

　After the editing bar appeared, Sanzenin Arashi began typing.

　"actually……"

　After typing two words, he frowned and immediately closed the laptop.

　He didn't intend to hide the whole story from Xiaobaihe, but since it was difficult to explain over the phone and he was afraid that the married woman might suddenly do something unreasonable, he decided to tell her about it via email.

　So, my earlier rambling was just a way of brushing things off.

　"I'll send it tomorrow." Sanzenin Arashi took a breath, pushed open the door, and walked out.

　Upon seeing Eriri, he stroked his chin.

　“If you can agree to my conditions, then everything you said will be fine,” said Sanzenin Arashi.

　Eriri nodded.

　“At least listen to my requirements.” Sanzenin Arashi pursed his lips. “I’ll give you an outline, and you’ll submit it to…NICONICO Publishing, and then serialize it with Mashiro. That’s one of the two conditions.”

　As she spoke, Sanzenin Arashi picked up the remote and changed the channel.

　The screen initially showed an anime he didn't recognize, then it switched to TV Asahi.

　"What is the other condition?" Eriri asked. "I have no objection to the first requirement."

　Arashi Sanzenin also needs manpower to bring the manga in his mind to the stage of the two-dimensional world, since he doesn't have time to draw them himself.

　"Do you know about the Touhou Project?" Sanzenin Arashi asked.

　"That one on Nico Nico Douga? I know it."

　"That's simple. Just produce one simple fan art piece each week, a fan art piece from the Touhou Project. That's the second condition."

　As Sanzenin Arashi said this, elegant piano music came from the television.

　Eriri turned her head and stared wide-eyed.

　"What are you doing up here?!"

　..

350. Regarding the *** of Gensokyo

　“Actually…” Sanzenin Arashi touched his temple, “I’ve been working as an idol lately… so the manga with Mashiro was released as a collaboration.”

　“You…” Eriri seemed to have heard something funny.

　"You're going to be an idol...?" His expression was practically screaming, "Are you kidding me?"

　"You want to be an idol?" Eriri opened her cherry-like mouth: "This joke isn't funny... You... singing and dancing on stage, I can't even imagine it!"

　Sanzenin Arashi was taken aback.

　Singing and dancing on stage by myself?

　Only a fool would do something so pointless!

　"Did you make a mistake?"

　"What? You were on TV? Wow... that's pretty impressive. There are so many people in this world who want to be on TV but can't. Don't worry, I'll support you." Eriri wasn't upset anymore.

　"Alright, you're right." Sanzenin Arashi shook his head. "Stop rambling and listen to this piece first."

　The TV program is the prelude to the final twisted girl, elegant and rhythmic.

　It's as if you can see a medieval manor, filled with images of wine and balls.

　“Not bad…” Eriri stared at the TV, “You look quite handsome in this outfit…”

　Hearing this seemingly complimentary remark, Sanzenin Arashi felt no joy at all.

　Instead, it was... a very strange taste.

　"Alright, let's talk about your comics."

　Sanzenin Arashi did not want to discuss this issue further.

　Eriri's eyes were conflicted. "I'm so nervous..."

　“I understand,” said Sanzenin Arashi.

　After all, comics aren't just about the outline; it's not enough to just have a good story. They also require various skills, such as panel arrangement and character dialogue design. The way comics convey meaning is completely different from novels; they require extremely strong logic to connect the dots.

　When to switch perspectives, when to change the scene... these are not things that can be included in the outline.

　“At least I can guarantee the quality of the story,” said Sanzenin Arashi.

　“I’m just worried about ruining your story,” Eriri Sawamura said. “I have no experience creating original content.”

　"And what about Gensokyo? How do you want me to draw it?" Eriri thought for a moment. "Did you really draw those character designs? They look like an elementary school student's art assignment."

　Sanzenin Arashi licked her lips. "Draw a sense of contrast, and post it using your Pixiv ID, Kashiwagi Eri."

　Eriri's eyes widened.

　This guy... he's probably doing it on purpose!

　"You...did this on purpose?"

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled.

　He looked at Eriri: "I did it on purpose."

　Eriri's surprised look made Sanzenin Arashi feel incredibly happy.

　"I really don't understand what you're thinking. You're just a novelist, so why do you have so many crazy ideas?"

　“If you can figure out what I’m thinking, then Japan is doomed,” Sanzenin Arashi said. “How long will it take to ship?”

　Eriri pondered for a moment, then squinted her eyes and thought about it.

　"I can only guarantee that there are no problems with the manga, and I will draw more Touhou Project content."

　Eriri is actually a very serious girl, but everyone has misunderstood her.

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed and said, "Your words actually put my mind at ease."

　"What?" Eriri paused for no apparent reason.

　“If you choose to curry favor with me and prioritize creating the Touhou Project, I might take back what I said earlier and send you home right now.” He shrugged.

　"To reward our honest Eriri, I'm going to come up with a tough idea."

　After saying that, Sanzenin Arashi went back to her room.

　Eriri breathed a sigh of relief.

　She felt extremely conflicted.

　Because of one person: Tomoya Aki.

　She felt very guilty towards this boy, and now, she was also a little envious.

　This feeling of envy, I don't know where it comes from, maybe it's because the other person is now a recommended student at a well-known IT university who is exempt from entrance exams.

　With his role as the general director of the game AngelBeats!!, Aki Tomoya obtained an exemption from entrance exams for a certain IT university. Naturally, it was a top-tier school, and no game-related major would refuse him.

　After all, AngelBeats!! is now being used as a case study by various game design professors.

　In this respect, Aki Tomoya is more than enough to be their teacher.

　When I was in elementary school, I liked this boy.

　Eriri is conflicted; she no longer knows how to deal with this relationship.

　Let's just forget about it; I need a fresh start.

　"Here is the contract, please take a look," said Sanzenin Arashi's voice.

　Eriri snapped out of her daze, took the contract, and began to read it carefully.

　[During the collaborative creation period, all profits generated will be split equally between Aoyama Arashi and Sawamura Spencer Eriri.]

　All copyrights related to the work will be allocated as appropriate.

　'After that, Tomoya never contacted me again.' Eriri picked up her pen, but her mind was still on this matter.

　Let's start with this contract and reset everything.

　After writing her name down, Eriri handed the contract to Arashi Sanzenin.
