A super great writer in the second dimension

　"...You find it hard to believe that this has anything to do with me? But I'm not a scumbag." Sanzenin Arashi said with considerable surprise, "You're actually attracted to a scumbag."

　In other words...

　Eriri clicked her tongue. "Don't just say half of what you mean!"

　"Are you a bitch?" Sanzenin Arashi looked at her with an air of self-righteousness.

　"..." Eriri was silent for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Bitch, bitch?!!"

　"correct."

　"Shut up, please!!!"

　"why?"

　Eriri said matter-of-factly, "Don't shatter my illusions about you, you jerk..."

　"Eri, you are a good person."

　Eriri was stunned.

　"What are you suddenly saying...?"

　"Women who like me are all good people." Sanzenin Arashi patted her head.

　"You..." Eriri suddenly didn't know how to describe the person in front of her...

　“I…I have high hopes for you,” Sanzenin Arashi suddenly said.

　Eriri was stunned...

　'This little idiot…' Sanzenin Arashi shook his head and suddenly reached out his hand.

　He grabbed Eriri's wrist.

　Skin-to-skin contact.

　Snapped!

　It was a very soft sound, but Eriri trembled and shook off Sanzenin Arashi's hand.

　"What's wrong now!" Eriri Sawamura's eyes flickered repeatedly, but her gaze remained fixed on the man in front of her.

　“…I just want to have a proper talk with you.” Sanzenin Arashi stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face. “Perhaps in your heart, I’m just a capitalist who’s obsessed with making money…”

　"You're being unreasonable..." Eriri lowered her head.

　“Yes.” Sanzenin Arashi didn’t say anything from beginning to end.

　However, he then said, "Because I never try to reason with others."

　"Talking to you is so tiring!" Eriri glared at him.

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and shook her head, "Because I didn't want you to be sad, so you feel tired..."

　"Can't you just say what you mean?!"

　I see you're so easygoing when you talk to other people, why are you like this with me?! Aren't you stupid?!

　Sanzenin Arashi shook her head again, "I'm very straightforward when I talk to Nishikawa, right?"

　"Um……"

　"I used Nishikawa, didn't I?"

　"Hmm..." Eriri is so cute.

　"Nishikawa must be very tired, right?"

　"Hmm..." The little tiger teeth are super cute.

　"I'm very straightforward with Eriri Sawamura, right?"

　"Hmm...?" Eriri suddenly glared at him angrily. "Where's the straightforwardness?"

　"I took advantage of Eriri Sawamura, didn't I?"

　"..." Eriri was silent for a moment, then carefully chose her words, "It seems... not."

　Sanzenin Arashi placed her hands flat on the table and said slowly, "Is Sawamura Eriri tired?"

　Eriri shook her head, "...Not tired."

　Sanzenin Arashi gave a helpless smile and sighed, "I've treated you like this, and you still say I'm bad, that talking to you makes you tired, you..."

　He paused, looking at Eriri, "Are you being reasonable or not?"

　“I…I…” Eriri seemed extremely shaken, as if her understanding had been overturned.

　See? I'm such a reasonable person, and you're still criticizing me? Sanzenin Arashi glanced at Eriri with a sidelong look, seemingly puzzled.

　“I even drew Naruto for you,” Sanzenin Arashi suddenly said.

　Eriri's momentum faltered.

　"Woo..."

　"I also tagged you as an official designer on Pixiv, since you're so famous there."

　"Woo..."

　"Don't you think you're being incredibly rude? I've done so much for you, and you still look at me like this?"

　"No, no..."

　"..." Sanzenin Arashi was speechless.

　Does this girl even realize she's being lectured?

　This is outrageous... This is outrageous...

　Can't you even say "I was wrong"?

　That tsundere, that tsundere...

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed.

　"What's wrong with you?" Eriri asked in surprise.

　“I’m telling you… anything in this world can be forgiven as long as there is love. You say you like me, but you think I’m a scumbag, which means you don’t have love, you know?”

　"That is to say..."

　Just as Sanzenin Arashi was about to continue, Eriri stood up.

　"Let me have some peace and quiet!"

　As she spoke, she walked towards Sanzenin Arashi.

　Sanzenin Arashi held his forehead, staring at Eriri, waiting for her to speak.

　Eriri pursed her lips and suddenly bent over.

　Sanzenin Arashi saw a very nervous and shy face getting closer and closer, and then she felt her lips being touched. Eriri then ran away as if she were escaping.

　She touched her face inexplicably and looked at Eriri at the door.

　She stood at the door and pulled it open.

　The door opened without turning the handle.

　Swish!

　Cold sweat trickled down Sanzenin Arashi's forehead.

　He looked towards the doorway.

　There's a person standing there.

　Sawamura...

　Sayuri!

　Sayuri looked at her daughter and smiled. "Eri, how have you been lately?"

　"Mother……"

　"Alright, you can go out now. I have something to discuss with Mr. Aoyama."

　She glanced at Sanzenin Arashi.

　The man sat in his seat and waved to himself.

　call……

　Sawamura Sayuri sighed inwardly.

　"Then I'm leaving." Eriri left the office.

　Sayuri walked up to Sanzenin Arashi, pulled up a chair, and sat down opposite him.

　His eyes held a thoughtful expression.

　"Eri actually likes you..." Sayuri said blankly, "It's not entirely unexpected."

　Sanzenin Arashi felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

　“You’ve completely mastered how to manipulate that child…” Sayuri looked at Sanzenin Arashi with a kind smile: “I saw it all from outside the door just now.”

　He remained relatively calm.

　Arashi Sanzenin was certain that he... hadn't done anything immoral to Eriri from beginning to end. He had taken good care of her out of respect for his wife, and... Eriri had done a good job too; her paintings were beautiful.

　..

457. Yukinoshita's...

　This wave of Sanzenin Arashi was truly impressive.

　"..." Xiaobai remained silent for a moment.

　She looked at Sanzenin Arashi and sighed, "We made a lot of mistakes before, and I hope you won't hurt Eriri..."

　Sanzenin Arashi squinted at her. Sayuri was frighteningly calm. How could a normal person remain calm in this situation?

　Sawamura Sayuri sat in a chair, her eyes fixed on the floor.

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed, "I didn't do anything to her."

　Little Lily shook her head. "You have no idea what I'm worried about."

　After saying that, she stood up, walked to the door, and pushed it open.

　Sanzenin Arashi saw a person standing at the door.

　"Eri, what are you still doing here?"

　"Mom, I want to go back, but I don't have the key..."

　Sanzenin Arashi was also startled by what just happened, so she didn't say anything.

　For a moment, he thought his problem had been discovered.

　It was only at this moment that I realized the benefits of having a secretary.

　Yukinoshita Haruno, that bastard woman, is really something else.

　Sanzenin Arashi lay slumped over the table… reminiscing about the woman from the past. If she were still here, whether it was something like A Certain Magical Index or contacting Ubisoft, a simple word would suffice. Now…

　As the boss, Sanzenin Arashi felt resentful that she had to do such menial work.

　A bell suddenly rang.

　Ugh, time to get back to work!

　Can't you just let me have a break for a bit...?

　She took out her phone... Suddenly, Sanzenin Arashi frowned.

　1-547-144-7552……

　US phone number?

　After answering the phone, Sanzenin Arashi suddenly widened her eyes.

　"Hello? Boss, are you listening?"
