A super great writer in the second dimension

　then……

　Turn down!

　One of the most classic moves in pole dancing.

　Use your buttocks to maintain your center of gravity and slowly rotate down like a nut.

　The short skirt fluttered in the wind, revealing glimpses of white skin. Her thighs were sometimes hidden by the hem of the skirt, and sometimes suddenly appeared in sight.

　As Sonoda Umi gradually rotated to the bottom, a strange feeling flashed through Sanzenin Arashi's heart.

　Suddenly, there was a snap.

　The overhead light suddenly went out.

　There was darkness all around.

　"Huh? Oh dear..."

　Sonoda Umi's scream came from the side, followed by a loud bang!

　The sudden darkness caused the girl to lose her balance, and she and the steel pipe fell to the side...

　Sanzenin Arashi took out her phone for light and looked ahead; the girl had already gotten up from the ground.

　"Is there a power outage?" she asked, her clothes still somewhat disheveled.

　Sanzenin Arashi pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

　Tonight, Kira Tsubasa Izumo will close early. According to the rules of office buildings in Japan, if you don't give notice and apply for permission to stay, the power will be cut off at 8 pm.

　I checked the time on my phone: 8:00

　it is as expected.

　"I forgot to apply for an overstay permit. The elevator probably won't work, let's walk down."

　Sonoda Umi was taken aback upon hearing this.

　Then a feeling of displeasure welled up inside me.

　"What about the dance for the new song?" she asked, unwilling to give up.

　I've lost so much money tonight, I'm completely drained!

　Sanzenin Arashi asked, "Your school doesn't have classes tomorrow, right?"

　Sonoda Umi nodded. "It's Saturday, but I have μ's training tomorrow at noon, so I don't have time. Tonight..."

　"It's too dark," said Sanzenin Arashi. "Let's find another opportunity next time."

　"no!"

　Sonoda Umi stomped her foot.

　next time?

　She pondered the decision, feeling somewhat displeased.

　However, the Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman) education she received since childhood helped her suppress her emotions.

　After thinking for a moment, the girl gritted her teeth.

　He quickly said, "If all else fails, you can come to my house. This morning was originally for archery and kendo practice, but there's an hour of rest afterwards. That should be enough time for dance lessons, right?"

　Sanzenin Arashi paused for a moment, then nodded.

　Then he asked, "When do you want me to come over?"

　Upon hearing this, Sonoda Umi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "The sooner the better. I will finish my archery and kendo practice soon."

　"Sonoda Dojo, right?" Sanzenin Arashi asked.

　"Yes."

　"follow me."

　"what?"

　"What? I'll take you home. There's a tram at eight o'clock."

　"oh oh."

　When the car pulled up next to the Sonoda Dojo, Sonoda Umi asked to get out.

　She seemed very worried that her parents would see her coming home with a strange man.

　Sanzenin Arashi wants to complain about this.

　I can't be seen at night, but it's okay for me to come to your house tomorrow?

　'Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've touched a sword. I'd better go early tomorrow.'

　'Let's try having her dad fight a few rounds.'

　After stretching, Sanzenin Arashi drove the car home.

　Just as Sanzenin Arashi was getting ready to go to bed early, the internet idol Alice was uploading videos at home.

　A notebook sat in front of the girl with short, golden hair, the screen displaying backend data.

　Girls' birth rate: 164110

　Number of viewers watching the video online: 265

　The number of viewers for the videos I uploaded before didn't decrease; in fact, it increased!

　This filled the girl with confidence.

　"Alice, Sanae signed you up for LoveLive, aren't you going to check it out now?" Freed from the task of browsing promotional addresses, Sanae quickly reminded her temporary owner.

　“LoveLive? I know that…” Alice fiddled with her hair, a little embarrassed.

　"Why didn't Alice go?" Sanae asked curiously.

　"That's a professional competition, right? How could an online idol like me possibly compare to that..." Alice said with a hint of self-deprecation.

　"Pfft!" Sanae raised her hand and drew a big '', then said, "Alice is amazing, she's already climbed to the top of the rankings~"

　"Hi?" Alice couldn't understand the meaning of the sentence at first.

　After a moment, her eyes widened in disbelief. "Wh-what?!?"

　..

400. I have to admire your courage.

　Just as Alice was surprised, the doorbell rang.

　Alice is currently studying alone in Tokyo, and this is the apartment she rents. Logically, not many people should know about it, but the doorbell is ringing at night, and the girl is a little nervous.

　Alice reached the door, opened it, and looked ahead.

　She froze, her eyes widening in surprise.

　A woman with green hair stood before her; her face was very familiar, and her waist-length hair was only missing a frog headdress.

　"So you do live here, Alice," the girl in front of her said.

　Alice was in shock. She thought she had met Sanae Kochiya's mother, but the woman's tone made it seem like she knew her.

　"You actually forgot about me?" The girl's eyes widened. "It's me, Tokugawa Sanae."

　"Huh?" Alice didn't react at first.

　"W-what?!" she exclaimed. "Miss Tokugawa?! How could it be you..."

　Eh……

　Sanae Tokugawa sighed inwardly, took out her phone, pulled up a photo, and placed it in front of Alice.

　"I can't believe you've forgotten about me..."

　In the photo, a boy with short green hair and a blonde girl are seen with their arms around each other, looking very affectionate. They are standing on a green lawn, facing the camera, one with a domineering smile and the other with a ladylike smile.

　"You've changed so much, Miss Tokugawa." Alice felt speechless.

　If you don't look closely, you might even think the girl in the photo is a boy.

　The girl in front of Alice was very beautiful. According to Alice's observation, she looked seven or eight parts similar to the chibi AI on her computer. She was obviously what the girl would look like when she grew up.

　Most importantly... who are you, beautiful lady?

　Did Tokugawa Sanae really undergo such a dramatic transformation from childhood to adulthood? This is clearly a case of gender reassignment surgery!

　"Alice, may I come in and sit for a while?" Tokugawa Sanae asked.

　“Um…please come in. By the way…Doesn’t Miss Tokugawa live in Osaka? Are you here in Tokyo for classes?” Alice asked.

　Tokugawa Sanae smiled with a complicated expression, then gave a strange look.

　"It's a long story..." She walked into the room with her bag slung over her shoulder and sat down in a chair. "By the way, does Alice know anyone who can repair computers?"

　"Eh?"

　Sanae Tokugawa took a small netbook out of her bag.

　Once opened, there is a large notch in the keyboard area, and you can even see the green hardware inside.

　"This... is so tragic."

　“Sigh…” Tokugawa Sanae sighed.

　"I'll go make some tea," Alice said, taking the opportunity to return to her bedroom.

　She walked up to the computer, and Sanae immediately asked, "Who is it, Alice?"

　"Sanae, hide first..." As the girl was speaking, the sound of a door opening came from behind her.

　"Huh? Alice, what are you doing?" Tokugawa Sanae asked, then suddenly noticed the computer screen. "Oh, LoveLive?"

　Alice was startled and looked at the screen.

　The girl breathed a sigh of relief; Sanae had disappeared.

　Then Alice felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

　She took it out and looked at it; Sanae was waving at her on the screen.

　"Alice?" Sanae Tokugawa asked when the other person didn't speak, "You participated in Love Live?"

　This series is also very popular and has a low barrier to entry, so it's not surprising that Alice participated in it, or that Tokugawa Sanae would too.

　"Yes, Tokugawa-kun..."

　"Huh? Fourth place??!!!"

　Sanae Tokugawa shouted before Alice could react, walked up to the notebook, and stared wide-eyed at it.

　"Wh-what?!" Alice was also shocked. "What, what place?!"

　Sanae Tokugawa was taken aback by the question, but quickly realized what was going on.

　"Alice...you don't know...???!"

　This is amazing! Fourth place...

　She... she doesn't know yet...

　It's terrifying when someone does something like this unconsciously!

　“No…” Tokugawa Sanae was stunned again, “You’re that internet idol Alice!!”

　"Ha, ha?" Alice was a little shy.

　But Tokugawa Sanae immediately pounced on her, "Alice, I have a request!"

　"Yes, yes?" Alice asked, sounding like a submissive girl.

　Sanae Tokugawa smiled, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Want to team up with me~?"

　"Team up?!"

　“Oh, Alice, don’t you know? In the LoveLive competition, after the voting is over, the top sixteen will compete. If you don’t have a team, you can’t participate alone~” Tokugawa Sanae said with a smile.

　"Is that so?!" Alice exclaimed in surprise. "What kind of rule is this...?"
