A super great writer in the second dimension

　After making up his mind, he held Kasumigaoka Utaha and fell asleep.

　……

　……

　The next morning, a noisy ringing of the bell woke up Sanzenin Arashi. After getting up, she checked the time; it was around 6:10.

　The girl in his arms had already gotten up, and the surrounding air was filled with an unfamiliar scent, including his own body, which was also covered with the girl's fragrance.

　I actually did it yesterday.

　This feeling of awakening rushed to her head. Sanzenin Arashi thought about some things, got dressed, went to the washroom to take care of her personal hygiene, stood side by side with Kasumigaoka Utaha, stared at the mirror and started brushing her teeth, the two of them not exchanging a word.

　After washing up and leaving the room, Sanzenin Arashi handed the room key to Kasumigaoka Utaha. "This is a private room. If you come to Tokyo to visit and can't go home, you can stay here by yourself. Roppongi has everything you need, so it's very convenient."

　Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Sanzenin Arashi, and her anger subsided. In fact, when a man treats a girl roughly, she feels very uncomfortable, like someone grabbing you for no reason. But now she wasn't angry anymore.

　She certainly wouldn't refuse the room key; the girl knew it was someone apologizing to her, so she simply accepted it.

　"What do we do now?" Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed. "I'm not angry, I..."

　She stopped talking a little while later, and Sanzenin Arashi was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "I forgot to tell my family..."

　Sanzenin Arashi asked, "You really didn't say anything?"

　Thinking of her doting father, Sanzenin Arashi felt a headache coming on.

　After all… that’s how I treated his daughter last night.

　The girl quickly took out her phone to check. She had put it on silent last night, and saw fifty or sixty call records on it.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up her phone to call home, but Sanzenin Arashi snatched it away, saying, "I'll handle this. You didn't go home last night because of me, so I'll make this call."

　"Will this work?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was startled by Sanzenin Arashi's question: "I have a feeling something's not quite right, and..."

　Sanzenin Arashi interrupted her: "What's wrong with it? Aren't we afraid to admit our relationship? I'm definitely making this call. I'm a man, understand?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

　Sanzenin Arashi checked the time: "Your two probably haven't gotten up yet. How about this, we go to the cafeteria to get something to eat first, then I'll take you to school. Once we get there, I'll make a call, and then you can go to class."

　The two went to the buffet restaurant on the middle floor. Even though it was a buffet, the food was incredibly good. It cost 1 yen per person. Sanzenin Arashi showed his room card and said he didn't need to pay. He was enjoying the benefits of the presidential suite. After entering, he sighed.

　Just a little past the entrance stood a person dressed in a tuxedo, with his medium-length hair meticulously styled.

　Sebastian stood there, smiling as he looked at Sanzenin Arashi, gave him a hand gesture, and then gave him a knowing look that any man would understand.

　It's like asking: Is it done yet?

　Sanzenin Arashi, pulling Kasumigaoka Utaha along, ignored the unscrupulous butler and simply got her some food. After they finished eating, he drove her to school.

　That head steward is clearly just here to have fun!

　So Sanzenin Arashi completely ignored him.

　However, what was bound to happen still happened. After arriving at Toyonosaki Academy, Sanzenin Arashi obtained Kasumigaoka Utaha's cell phone and dialed her father's number.

　After a busy signal, the call was connected.

　Sanzenin Arashi said, "Uncle, don't worry. Shiho stayed here with me last night, and we got along very well."

　..

98. Today, I've been waiting for this!!!

　Kasumigaoka Utaha was born into an ordinary working-class family. She was an only child, and her parents were ordinary white-collar workers. She grew up like other only children and was always the focus of attention in her family.

　Since Sanzenin Arashi has feelings for Kasumigaoka Utaha and they've confirmed their relationship, and they've done everything they could, even going so far as to have sex with her family, it's only natural that she needs to give them an explanation.

　As a human being, this is a fundamental moral issue.

　When Sanzenin Arashi heard that the phone hadn't been answered for a long time, she asked, "Hello? Is Uncle listening?"

　There was a moment of silence on the phone. Sanzenin Arashi heard the sound of nails being filed and a series of gasps.

　Kasumigaoka's father said, "Kid, don't force me to call the police. It's impossible for you and my daughter to be together."

　Sanzenin Arashi said, "Nowadays, people advocate for independent love, and the days when parents decided on the future are over. If Uncle is willing, I can call you Dad now."

　"...Aaaaaah, you bastard, what have you done to my daughter?!"

　"Don't say that, Uncle. It's all consensual. No one forced anyone. Shiyu and I are truly in love. You should bless us."

　“Let’s meet.” Kasumigaoka’s father suddenly said on the phone, “At the coffee shop next to the school, I’ll meet you alone, and then we’ll resolve this issue using a man’s method. My name is Kasumigaoka Takeshi. Remember this name. I’ll have a good talk with you. Also, don’t tell Utaha about this.”

　Don't tell Shiyu?

　Can I say that Kasumigaoka Utaha is right next to me?

　Sanzenin Arashi twitched the corner of her mouth. "Okay, when shall we meet?"

　Kasumigaoka Takeshi said, "One hour later."

　The call was hung up.

　Sanzenin Arashi held her phone, stunned for a moment.

　He had originally come up with a lot of ideas to persuade Kasumigaoka Utaha's parents, but now they want to meet in person.

　It's not that it's bad, but Sanzenin Arashi doesn't want Kasumigaoka Utaha to have any burdens on her side, as that would be detrimental to her studies.

　Or to be more precise, Sanzenin Arashi doesn't really want to meet his parents yet. He's all alone, and it would be very impolite for him to go and meet his parents when his elders aren't around. Putting aside everything else, just to put it simply, he can't be disrespectful to his future father-in-law, and at the very least, he can't offend him.

　Then his grandfather...

　Sanzenin Arashi wore a strange expression.

　Sending Sanzenin Tei to meet Kasumigaoka Takeshi? Perhaps Kasumigaoka Takeshi is an employee of the Sanzenin family; he'd probably be terrified to death if he saw Sanzenin Tei…

　First of all, the relationship between Sanzenin Arashi and Kasumigaoka Utaha was definitely not a casual one-night stand.

　Now, unless he's a complete jerk who's slept with Kasumigaoka Utaha, you absolutely have to find a way to persuade your angry father-in-law.

　You ate someone's daughter, are you trying to renege on your debt?!

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed and returned the phone to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

　The girl smiled wryly and put away her phone: "I'll go with you!"

　Sanzenin Arashi shook her head: "Of course I'll go by myself. How could you be there? I'll talk to my uncle about it. If it doesn't work, I'll contact you again."

　Sanzenin Arashi drove off quickly.

　…………

　........................

　I first met Kasumigaoka Utaha at this cafe.

　Next to Chiba train station, in the busiest area, is a small cafe that sells itself as a place for small gatherings and elegant ambiance. It has a sign that reads: Aogiri Tree.

　There weren't many people at the Aogiri Tree Cafe in the morning. When Sanzenin Arashi went in and observed it, she found that the environment was indeed elegant and very suitable for working-class people.

　Then I found a spot in a corner and sat down.

　After all, this is not something that can be told to outsiders. This position is just right for the purpose of keeping it a secret.

　The floor was covered with wood, which felt soft underfoot. The waiter handed over the menu, and Sanzenin Arashi ordered a cup of coffee and sat down to slowly sip it.

　Looking at my phone, an hour had passed.

　Sanzenin Arashi was a little puzzled. Why hadn't Kasumigaoka Takeshi shown up yet?

　The next second he realized: This guy stood me up.

　I'm sitting here now, not sure if I'll leave, but if I stay... all my work for the day will be wasted. I had to write a script this morning, and I have to attend my own studio's job fair this afternoon. If I leave, and Kasumigaoka Takeshi comes and I can't find him... well, that's it.

　Ha ha.

　If you're not Kasumigaoka Utaha's father, I'll have you thrown into Tokyo Bay to feed the fish!!!

　Sanzenin Arashi thought viciously.

　Since there was hardly anyone around and Kasumigaoka Takeshi hadn't arrived yet, Sanzenin Arashi opened Nico Nico Douga on her phone and started reading book reviews.

　After briefly browsing through the information, Sanzenin Arashi typed a message on her phone: "[I, Aoyama Arashi, am about to establish a game studio. This afternoon, I will be renting space near JR station X in Tokyo for recruitment. Advertisements have already been sent to various university professors. Readers who are interested in this industry are welcome to apply.]"

　After thinking for a moment, Sanzenin Arashi wrote down the salary and benefits again.

　He pays his studio staff very high salaries, and his books are selling steadily, so paying salaries won't be for another month.

　He set a monthly salary of 300,000 yen for ordinary employees. For college students who have just entered the workforce and become white-collar workers, the salary is generally around 200,000 yen. In the same game industry, most employees earn around 150,000 yen.

　Furthermore, there are many unscrupulous game companies whose games don't sell well and have absolutely no integrity in the industry. They simply don't pay their employees' salaries because they have no money at all!

　Such a thing would never happen on Sanzenin Arashi's side.

　After pinning her post, Sanzenin Arashi cursed Kasumigaoka Takeshi a hundred times in her heart, then looked at the door and waited for half an hour.

　But this guy still didn't show up!

　Sanzenin Arashi shook his head with a wry smile. This Kasumigaoka Takeshi is really good at this. He's like Jiang Taigong fishing—waiting for the willing to take the bait. Today, I'll be waiting for him!

　..

99. What expression should I use at this moment?

　Sanzenin Arashi glared angrily at Twitter. He was furious that his work had been delayed. If the person didn't come by the afternoon, Sanzenin Arashi wouldn't wait any longer. How could he, as the boss, be absent when his own studio was hiring? Otherwise, what kind of order would it be?

　Moreover, the first batch of people to join will become core members in the future, so how can I not personally oversee their selection?

　Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get into my studio!

　The more I read Sanzenin Arashi's tweets, the angrier I get.

　Sylvie's game is so brutal that a group of haters are flooding Sanzenin Arashi's Twitter with comments criticizing him.

　Sanzenin Arashi promptly created a pseudonym and started arguing with the trolls. Eventually, the administrators were alerted. After all, it was a blog by a prominent influencer, and the trolls went on for over a thousand posts, like an army marching a thousand miles, attracting a large number of onlookers.

　Then all those angry comments were deleted, including the alternate account that Sanzenin Arashi had created, which was also banned.

　"Phew..." Calming down, Sanzenin Arashi took a sip of coffee, the bitterness spreading on her taste buds. Normally, she would be too lazy to pay attention to these trolls. After all, she was just an author, not a saint who could control everyone.

　But in this situation, which is already quite stressful, these people just happened to run into Sanzenin Arashi's troublesome side, so they've become indifferent to life and just want to fight anyone they see.

　Looked at the time.

　The phone showed 11:36.

　Not here yet?

　Sanzenin Arashi twitched the corner of her mouth.

　Just how deep is Kasumigaoka Takeshi's resentment? He's been keeping an eye on me all morning, telling me which company you work for. Don't blame me for making things difficult for you.

　Sanzenin Arashi was thinking fiercely, but just then, a [ding-a-ling] sound came from the door.

　There's a small bell at the entrance of the Bronze Tree Cafe; it makes that sound when you push the bearing as you enter.

　Sanzenin Arashi looked up and saw a middle-aged man walk in. He was rather robust and dressed in a work suit, looking travel-worn, clearly having just finished work. His face was somewhat similar to Kasumigaoka Utaha's, only with rougher lines and a more assertive demeanor.

　This person should be Takeshi Kasumigaoka.

　He stepped through the wooden door of the coffee shop, glanced around, frowned slightly in confusion, and then walked straight toward Sanzenin Arashi.

　"Hello." A very polite voice asked, "Was a young man here before?"

　At noon, there were very few people in the coffee shop.

　In Japan, most office workers order takeout for lunch, and very few people eat out. As for students, even fewer do so. The peak consumption period is in the evening.

　Sanzenin Arashi coughed, somewhat surprised, which was why he used a cough to disguise it.

　Does this Kasumigaoka Takeshi not recognize himself?

　Sanzenin Arashi twitched the corner of her mouth.

　Why come here to ask... Has a young man been here before?

　I think about it, and it seems like he really doesn't recognize himself?

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and lowered her voice: "Young man? May I ask if this gentleman is here to look for someone?"
