A super great writer in the second dimension

　Which girl doesn't care about the man she's with for the first time?

　They are particularly concerned about the quantity.

　He said he really couldn't take it anymore today, and without telling Xiaoxi, he left her to act alone.

　but……

　Eli Ayase doesn't consider herself to have a bad temper, but now... she's been sullen all day.

　He was resting his chin on his hands, lost in thought, when suddenly he saw a pair of feet standing to the side of his field of vision, stopping, and then there was a sound beside him.

　Raising his head, Sanzenin Arashi's calm expression remained unchanged as he looked at him indifferently.

　"What are you going to do?" Ayase Eli immediately shifted her body.

　Sanzenin Arashi breathed a sigh of relief as if nothing had happened and slowly sat down next to Ayase Eli.

　Eli Ayase was immediately startled and instinctively sat up straight.

　"Things are simpler than I thought," Sanzenin Arashi said slowly. "Have you ever heard of this X drug?"

　"Huh?" Ayase Eli was stunned for a moment, her face immediately turning pale. "You...you actually...drugged us?!?"

　Thinking back to her reaction last night... if she had taken the medicine, it would make sense. Why did she suddenly become like that...? Ayase Eli looked at Sanzenin Arashi with a strange expression.

　Arashi Sanzenin turned to look at Eri, frowning. "No, I didn't do that at all."

　"What exactly happened?!" Ayase Eli asked loudly, "We took the medicine, right? Isn't that right?"

　Sanzenin Arashi frowned.

　He thought for a moment and nodded.

　"Then what else did you say?!" Ayase Eli felt a sense of despair.

　"No matter how angry you are, you can't change the facts of yesterday," Sanzenin Arashi said, trying to comfort her.

　"I... what else can I do if I don't say this? Why would I believe you... It's all my fault, it's my own problem, don't you feel even a little bit guilty?" Ayase Eli gritted her teeth.

　Sanzenin Arashi took a deep breath and reached out to try and calm Ayase Eli down.

　"Don't touch me!" Eri slapped Sanzenin Arashi's hand away. "Stay away from me!!"

　"Calm down, let me explain..."

　"What else do you want to explain?" Eli Ayase sneered. "Xiaoxi and I trusted you so much, but we never expected things to turn out like this. You...you're really unreasonable...despicable, bastard, pervert!!"

　Sanzenin Arashi narrowed her eyes and immediately said, "...Do I need to drug you to hug you?"

　Eli Ayase was startled, crossed her arms, and said angrily, "What did you say?!"

　“I said,” Sanzenin Arashi looked at Ayase Eli, “if I want to hug you, I don’t need to go through all this trouble, you won’t refuse me.”

　Because the reality is, after I forcibly hugged you, you still come here to hear my explanation...

　Actually, you want me to hug you, right?

　..

472. Eri, I have to take responsibility for you!!!

　Sanzenin Arashi is an expert in psychology...

　then.

　If a girl comes back to listen to a man's explanation after being hugged, doesn't that mean she wants a decent explanation?

　Sanzenin Arashi breathed a sigh of relief. "Is this alright?"

　He looked at Eli Ayase, about to speak, but at that moment...

　Suddenly, Ayase Eli raised her head and said with slightly rapid breathing, "Speak, I want to hear your explanation."

　“Hmm…” Sanzenin Arashi didn’t expect the girl to be so calm.

　Have you become skilled at being a manager?

　“What I’m trying to say is that before we even ate the food…” Sanzenin Arashi paused, “you knew that the medicine was in the food, right?”

　Eli Ayase nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly her eyes widened.

　"This means... that is to say..."

　“…Yes, it’s the famous frame-up theory, and Murphy’s Law…” Sanzenin Arashi showed an amused expression: “And then… I was the one who framed him, and I was also the one who was framed… My own unintentional actions led to this.”

　And then, Eri, I only just found out that you have feelings for me.

　“…” Ayase Eli’s face turned pale and then red. She waved her hand embarrassedly, “Don’t change the subject. Tell me the truth clearly.”

　“…Hmm.” Sanzenin Arashi sighed.

　Eli Ayase is sitting in this spot today.

　...He had done such a terrible thing to the girl, yet she was sitting here instead of ignoring him completely, and even came over to listen to his explanation.

　This means...

　Sanzenin Arashi said in a way that even a girl could understand: "This kind of thing... can be understood in another way."

　This behavior can be interpreted as follows: Ayase Eli wants to forgive Aoyama Arashi, so she came to his house and sat there to listen to his explanation. If the explanation satisfies her, then Ayase Eli will forgive Aoyama Arashi.

　I said that...right?

　“…” Ayase Eli stared blankly at Sanzenin Arashi.

　"Huh..." she suddenly exclaimed, "Huh..."

　Eli Ayase was at a loss, her eyes darting around, as if trying to understand something incomprehensible.

　Sanzenin Arashi slowly said, "Eri clearly said I'm a scumbag, yet she's still sitting here and won't leave. That means you don't want to believe this at all. Eri must think I'm not a scumbag, but a decent person, which is why she's sitting here."

　He had never felt so fortunate to know so much. Psychology... it's just about expanding one's thinking, and he never expected it would come in so handy today.

　"This is so strange..." Ayase Eli scratched her temples in a panic. "W-Why is this happening..."

　Sanzenin Arashi thought for a moment, then took advantage of the momentum and moved closer to Ayase Eli.

　This wayward girl should be saved by taking responsibility herself!

　“What’s there to worry about?” Sanzenin Arashi asked.

　He placed his hand on Eri's shoulder, then grasped her hand and held it in his own, while casually placing the girl's small hand on his knee.

　“Nozomi… Nozomi, she…” Ayase Eli kept repeating, “Nozomi…”

　“Neither of you can escape, Eri and Nozomi, you don’t need to worry about that.” Sanzenin Arashi whispered in her ear, “If you don’t mind, you can come with me from now on.”

　"This...this..."

　"This? Would you like to come with me?" Sanzenin Arashi asked patiently.

　Although everyone confesses their feelings first and then does what happens at night, and although Sanzenin Arashi felt that the order was reversed here, what's wrong with living according to one's own desires?

　Hmm? Where did I go wrong?

　“Xiao Xi, she…” Ayase Eli stared at the ground, somewhat bewildered.

　Sanzenin Arashi slowly said, "Since that's the case... I'll tell you. Actually, from the beginning, I kept that medicine in the refrigerator. Someone used it on me before."

　However, I saw through her plan, so I took the medicine and casually tossed it into the refrigerator…

　Arashi Sanzenin carefully crafted his words, naturally not revealing everything. For instance, he didn't mention what he did with Sayuri after being exposed.

　“So this thing is…” Ayase Eli couldn’t help but say, “How could such a strange thing happen…”

　And there's something even stranger...

　Sanzenin Arashi shook her head and continued, "Then, I've almost forgotten about this medicine now. Yesterday, when I invited you over to talk business, Eriri cooked, and since she has absolutely no cooking experience, she just threw this stuff in..."

　"..." Ayase Eli was still speechless. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Then we all ate this, that fish curry... I hadn't eaten anything before that, not even the water on the table. Now that I think about it, the fish was brought by Nozomi, and it was just the four of us..."

　Eli Ayase was startled... Us... the four of us?!

　Where is that girl with the twin tails?!

　“So you already know…” Sanzenin Arashi pursed her lips. “That’s right, just like you thought. That night, I hugged all three of you… and I didn’t feel anything at the time. My mind was so strange…”

　“I know!” Eli Ayase interrupted immediately, “So… what should we do?”

　Sanzenin Arashi breathed a sigh of relief and said confidently, "At this point, as a man, there's only one responsible choice left, isn't there?"

　"Huh?" Eli Ayase was stunned. "What are you talking about..."

　Sanzenin Arashi slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "What's there to say at a time like this? Of course, this is how it should be."

　He looked at Eri and said, "I will take responsibility and hold you for the rest of my life, Eri."

　"..." Ayase Eli: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

　..

473. This moment is better than a honeymoon.

　Eli Ayase's gaze became very strange.

　Because the lights were off inside, Sanzenin Arashi couldn't quite see the girl's expression, but she could feel the gaze in those azure eyes... as if it could pierce right through her.

　The two stared at each other for a while, then Eli Ayase suddenly stood up.

　Just then, Sanzenin Arashi reached out and put her arm around Eri's shoulder.

　Eli Ayase's expression changed, but she did not resist, and her expression gradually calmed down.

　Throughout the entire process, Sanzenin Arashi didn't sense much resistance.

　As expected, her guess was correct. Recalling what she had been doing these past few days, Sanzenin Arashi had a sudden realization.

　Aside from myself, a time traveler, how many other people would do these things?

　Write songs for a newly formed team?

　They even prepared highly standardized training grounds... and then provided various forms of support free of charge?

　Not only do they write songs, but they also compose music?

　The arrangement wasn't finished... so they prepared a music team to help with sound mixing?

　And they even helped with the entire post-production?

　Then push it on Nico Nico Douga?

　No one in Japan would do such a thing... If Sanzenin Arashi didn't know about Love Live!, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

　Sanzenin Arashi is a household name in Japan, although she hasn't appeared on screen much.

　but now……

　Could this be considered an unexpected but positive outcome?

　Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sanzenin Arashi pulled Eri's head over and buried it in her neck.

　Ayase Eli's heart trembled. The person in front of her grabbed her arm. Ayase Eli looked up at Sanzenin Arashi and saw a gentle look in his blue eyes. Her heart couldn't help but feel complicated.

　The man's body temperature became clearer and clearer, and she felt that everything she had done was worthwhile. The hand on her shoulder gradually moved and placed on her back.

　At that moment, Sanzenin Arashi suddenly remembered a TV drama where the male lead hugged a woman and gave her the feeling of being in love...

　Skin contact can increase intimacy; all mammals do that. Sanzenin Arashi recalled what she had learned from her books and pulled Ayase Eli to sit down.

　Now that Eri showed no sign of resistance, Sanzenin Arashi felt relieved. As expected, she was right; Eri still liked her very much.

　All those previous interrogations and accusations were actually expressions of affection.

　Ayase Eli sat on Sanzenin Arashi's lap. She thought she had never done this kind of thing with anyone before, especially with a man, but at this moment, she didn't want to get up.

　"So close..." she thought.

　"Come closer, Eri," Sanzenin Arashi whispered in the girl's ear. "Don't be afraid, relax."

　"Hmm..." Eri lowered her head.

　The two clung to each other like lovers, and Sanzenin Arashi casually picked up the remote and turned on the TV.

　A burst of laughter from the variety show suppressed the tension in Ayase Eli's heart. She lowered her head, her cheeks flushed...
