A super great writer in the second dimension

　Ahhh, it really is this guy. How many years has it been since he last came? Two years? No, three years, I guess!

　I haven't seen him even once since I stopped attending the annual meeting three years ago!

　"Nagi, you've gotten even cuter lately." Sanzenin Arashi waved with a smile, then her expression suddenly changed: "Uh..."

　He suddenly noticed that his sister was holding something that looked somewhat familiar...

　Although I saw a lot of comics, light novels, and figurines in her room just now, there was none of her own Sword Art Online.

　A cute girl who loves reading light novels and is definitely a member of the anime and manga fandom, surprisingly didn't buy her own novel.

　This legendary novel, whose first volume sold 80 copies thanks to aggressive marketing, was a phenomenal bestseller—and she didn't buy it!

　That's a huge blow!

　But now, she's holding it in her hand!

　At this point, Sanzenin Arashi's expression became somewhat strange.

　"Brother, what brings you here? I suggest you head back. Did that old guy send you? Damn it, I knew it!" Sanzenin Nagi sat down opposite him, crossed her legs, and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to say to you!"

　Sanzenin Arashi shrugged: "There's nothing I can do about it. I was already quite busy in Europe, plus I had a lot of studies to do and started getting involved in family affairs, so I simply couldn't find the time to come see you. But you see..."

　Sanzenin Arashi took out his phone, opened the photo album, and showed it off: it was full of photos of Sanzenin Nagi.

　One year old, two years old, three years old.

　In the end, they were ten, eleven, and thirteen years old.

　From the time she wore baggy pants and acted cute and mischievous outside, to now when she's almost grown into a graceful young woman with a charming appearance, all the photos are here.

　There are probably more than two thousand of them.

　Look, how much I love you, brother!

　This love has become so profound!

　"What…" Sanzenin Nagi tossed her phone onto the sofa, her face flushed red. "I can't believe you're this kind of person! Ahhh, get away from me, get out of here right now!!! Maria, get him out of here!!!"

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed, took out a box, and the packaging featured a cute little girl raising her arms and cheering, with a large "妹" (younger sister) character written on it. The full name was "妹调教日记" (Younger Sister's Training Diary), and it was also marked as R18, clearly something for perverts to play with.

　But it was found in his sister's room.

　"You play sister-themed games yourself, but you won't let me be a sister-complex girl. That's really unfair."

　[This isn't even the most extreme one.]

　Sanzenin Arashi was somewhat surprised when she thought about it.

　"Aaaaaah, you actually went into my room?! Maria!! Why did you let him in?!"

　“Miss, I don’t see anything wrong with this.” Maria waved her hand.

　Well... the relationship between these two is not that of master and servant at all, but more like best friends, or Maria is simply a close older sister.

　“There’s one more thing.” Sanzenin Arashi shook his head and took out another box, which was also a visual novel, this time an all-ages version.

　But... but then, Sanzenin Nagi's eyes suddenly changed. She stared at the game cover and jumped up, her little feet landing on the sofa as she tried to grab it.

　Sanzenin Arashi raises her hand high: Anyway, you just can't reach it!

　The box says: Listen to your brother.

　"Shut up, shut up, shut up!!! What game I play is none of your business!" Sanzenin Nagi shouted. "Get down! Get down here! Give this back to me!"

　ten minutes later.

　Sanzenin Arashi straightened her disheveled clothes, took a sip of tea, and said, "Alright, now can you listen to me obediently?"

　"Hmph!" Sanzenin Nagi turned her head away, her clothes all wrinkled.

　"Fine, fine... I'll just be blunt." Sanzenin Arashi rubbed his temples. "I'm here this time to fight that damn Sanzenin Tei to the very end!"

　"Therefore, I need your help!"

　Besides, this matter is closely related to you!

　After Sanzenin Arashi finished speaking, she observed the other party's reaction.

　Upon hearing this, Sanzenin Nagi's expression turned somewhat strange. Although she didn't want to speak, she couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed, "That old man is forcing me to get married. He wants me to have a ceremony with the daughter of the Totsuki Zaibatsu at the end of the year, and then have a child to carry on the Sanzenin family line as soon as possible."

　"Isn't this great?" Sanzenin Nagi pouted and said indifferently, "Get married, and then go out and be like those old men, keeping a bunch of women on the side. Aren't all men like that?"

　"Of course not!" With a chop to her younger sister's head, Sanzenin Arashi exclaimed in shock, "Everyone has things they want to do. If you were deprived of that right, would you just give in and accept it all? If you're not allowed to play any games, not allowed to read comics, not allowed to touch anything, could you accept that?"

　"Hmm... Of course I can't accept it. Although I don't have much to say to you, I support you in this matter." Sanzenin Nagi rubbed her head.

　"very good."

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and nodded: "Then you should marry me. Go tell Grandpa that you will marry me when you turn sixteen."

　Sanzenin Nagi's eyes widened immediately.

　"Wha, what..."

　Sanzenin Arashi waved his hand: "What I mean is, three years from now, I'll go and fuck him, it's that simple."

　"So, I need about this much time."

　..

77. Sanzenin Arashi's Decision

　"Calm down." Sanzenin Arashi waved her hand with a smile, her expression amiable. "Aren't you going to let me finish what I have to say?"

　Sanzenin Nagi stomped her feet on the floor, swinging her arms wildly, and shouted, "Shut up, shut up, shut up! This kind of thing... Ugh, you bastard, you actually had such thoughts? You siscon, you pervert, you super demon king who wants to harm your sister, you should just die! You bastard, scum, and scoundrel!!!"

　"Didn't you realize what that old man was saying?" Sanzenin Arashi smiled bitterly and sighed, "He gave me two choices: either get married at the end of the year and inherit the conglomerate, or marry you and do what I want, because you're only thirteen and can't take on the responsibility of having a child."

　Upon hearing the phrase "the responsibility of having children," Sanzenin Nagi's expression immediately changed. Her face turned as red as an apple, and she began gesturing wildly, her mind probably in complete chaos.

　"Ugh! That weirdo old man and you, bro, you're both totally crazy! Why are you saying such insane things?! Don't go along with that old geezer!!!"

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled, grabbed Sanzenin Nagi's shoulder, shook his head, and said seriously, "This is a multiple-choice question, a challenge from the old man. To be honest, in the exam of life, we have to write the last question: the essay!"

　"Um... Um..." Sanzenin Nagi's tongue stammered, unsure of what to say, but she still managed to ask, "What does that mean?"

　Sanzenin Arashi thought, "You, a genius prodigy with an IQ of 230, look down on this? Your emotional intelligence is incredibly low."

　So he said directly:

　“There’s an old Chinese saying, ‘The Yangtze River’s back waves push the front waves, and each wave is stronger than the last.’” Sanzenin Arashi tapped the table, his brows furrowed. “Nagi, do you really think our grandfather, the head of the Sanzenin Zaibatsu, can’t even see through my thoughts?”

　"So that means?" Sanzenin Nagi sat down and took a sip of red tea to calm her nerves.

　“There’s a deeper meaning to this,” Sanzenin Arashi said carefully. “He wants me to get married. If I compromise and marry Nakiri Erina, then naturally I will have to inherit the Sanzenin Zaibatsu and take control of this behemoth. That’s all.”

　However, if I resist, I must use my own hands to overthrow this ruler.

　Defeat him, and inherit this behemoth through your own strength, instead of simply reaching out and taking the wealth from his hands as if it were clothing.

　Grandpa has always had high expectations for me, so he hopes that I will strive for everything with my own hands.

　At this point, Sanzenin Nagi swallowed, and Arashi paused before continuing, "I heard that back then, my grandfather, Emperor Sanzenin, fought his way through many heirs to seize control of the Sanzenin family. He then used ruthless methods to demote his other brothers to branch families, and by our generation, only my brother and I remained."

　We don't have to go through the dark struggles and fratricide that our grandfather did, but that means that the heirs of a huge conglomerate are not tested, and that their strength is declining.

　The things passed down from generation to generation cannot be lost here, so Grandpa, Emperor Sanzenin, who was originally a kind old man, had to do this.

　In the end, he didn't make the whole thing clear, because he wanted me to understand what he meant. In the end, I did understand, which is why I came to find you.

　From childhood, I have never done anything against anyone's expectations. But this time, let us use our own hands to push him off the throne, and then let my brother and I take over the throne.

　After saying that, Sanzenin Arashi looked at her younger sister, waiting for an answer.

　Saying those words made me feel much better.

　There's a point that's absolutely true: parents' hearts are always full of love and concern for their children, and grandparents and grandchildren are like family, making the bond even stronger.

　Emperor Sanzenin possessed everything, but in this one matter, he acted just like an ordinary person.

　He hopes his grandson can surpass him.

　No one is perfect, and even the ruler of the economy is still just a person.

　Nagi is hailed as a prodigy with an IQ of 230. Although she studies at Hakuo University, she has already completed university-level studies.

　In Sanzenin Arashi's eyes, she was the quintessential protagonist of a novel: rich, beautiful, adorable, and destined to grow up to be an absolute beauty with an even sharper mind.

　After calming down, Sanzenin Nagi thought for a moment and then nodded: "No problem, I'll be at this year's annual meeting. Let those branch family members see for themselves that this is the decision my brother and I have made!"

　Maria smiled nonchalantly. No matter how clever she was, she was still a little girl, especially one with a bit of a brother complex. She was easily pleased and readily agreed to the request.

　Even if... this fails, she'll really have to marry her brother.

　Maybe... perhaps, that's what she wanted to do?

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded: "That would be best, of course. We only have three years left. I will come up with a plan before the annual meeting, and we will contact each other again then."

　Sanzenin Nagi said, "No problem. What have you been doing all this time, brother? I saw that old man post a news article saying you had disappeared, and now I see it was indeed false."

　Sanzenin Arashi laughed: "It all started with what you're holding in your hand, this Sword Art Online."

　"Huh?" Sanzenin Nagi looked puzzled.

　Why bring up this book for no reason?

　"Do you like this book too, brother?" Sanzenin Nagi waved the Sword Art Online book in her hand and said, "I have a plan now. I want to make this game, to bring Sword Art Online to life!"

　They seemed quite smug, completely oblivious to technical issues or anything else. Sanzenin Arashi almost laughed when she heard this; making such a thing would be at least ten years away.

　But...

　Did she really... really not know that she wrote this book?

　I really look forward to her reaction when she finds out the truth.

　Sanzenin Arashi thought with ill intent.

　"I spent hundreds of thousands of yen on equipment to write this Sword Art Online series. Two volumes have been released so far, and the third is about to go on sale," said Arashi Sanzenin proudly. "Right now, I'm just playing around, doing what makes me happy, and every day is fulfilling!"

　Sanzenin Nagi's eyes widened. "Brother, you wrote this book?"

　Sanzenin Arashi said, "That's right."

　..

78. A bomb.

　That evening, Sanzenin Arashi opened Nico Nico Douga, uploaded the drafts to it, and began browsing the book review section.

　As an author who has become a public figure at the very bottom of the hierarchy, Sanzenin Arashi believes that she must manage her own fan base, observe the emotions of the author community, arrange certain things, or release certain information.

　So every night, he would browse the book review section.

　If I encounter criticism, I'll just glance at it; if someone makes a serious comment, I'll read it carefully and then write a reply. As for mindless haters...

　Two words: Hehe

　Even the best works will have these kinds of people. Sanzenin Arashi is not a god and cannot control their thoughts. However, I am not reading the book review section alone today. Sanzenin Nagi is also sitting next to me.

　"Hmm..." He frowned, biting his handkerchief, looking very excited.

　[Luoshuo (online name): Let's start a war, you bunch of lolicon! Even if the protagonist stays single his whole life, he'll never be with a loli.]

　[Seventeen years old: The comment above is hilarious. If the protagonist didn't end up with a little girl, would the site administrator have used so many words to describe him?]

　[I'm so hungry: The site administrator named himself "Warrior of Love," what exactly is he trying to do?]

　[Anonymous: How could someone like you possibly guess what the author is thinking? At this rate, nothing the site administrator is doing would be surprising, right? Their light novels are selling so well, they'll probably be adapted into an anime soon. Given the author's storytelling ability, it wouldn't be surprising if they switched to screenwriting.]

　[Anonymous: Ugh, the site administrator is neglecting his duties! What kind of story is this? Come back and update Battle Through the Heavens! Ughh ...

　Seventeen years old; yet another child driven mad by the abrupt ending...

　Sanzenin Arashi chuckled. He really was planning to become a screenwriter; he was even getting into the visual novel industry. As for animation, if someone with a better script than him came along, why not let them do it? But was that even possible? Had that kind of person ever really been born?

　[Anonymous: The special effects in the Doupo anime adaptation are absolutely amazing! Why not adapt it into a light novel instead? This novel is in no way inferior to Sword Art Online, its story cohesion completely surpasses Sword Art Online, and it even abandons the commercial model by not focusing too much on female characters. This kind of action-packed approach has already succeeded in JUMP, so why not try operating it as a light novel?]

　Because this review was so serious, Sanzenin Arashi started typing: I want to make a movie out of Doupo. Animation is not enough to show its special effects. I need a Hollywood blockbuster. But no one has contacted me yet. I personally adhere to high quality. This will always be my main theme. Here I can tell you with confidence: I would rather not make any of my works and not sell the copyright than allow investors to turn them into bad works.

　After thinking for a moment, Sanzenin Arashi added: "However, I still hope that everyone can create derivative works. If you are interested, you can send your proposal to my email. As I said before, it must be high quality. Even if it is fanfiction, I will not give up this theme because of love. For love, I am a man who would rather become a warrior!" PS—Of course, I will not refuse doujinshi either. CM is coming soon, and I really want to take a doujinshi of Shinobu and masturbate.
