A super great writer in the second dimension

　Kasumigaoka Takeshi nodded politely. In Japan's seniority-based society, it's rare to see such an attitude towards a young person.

　'Looks like he's not doing too well.'

　It wasn't that Sanzenin Arashi looked down on his father-in-law, but rather that people who are doing well in Japan generally have an arrogant attitude.

　However, he becomes a well-behaved kitten in front of his superiors. But Sanzenin Arashi is just a young man, so isn't his attitude a clear indication that he's not doing well?

　“If you’re looking for someone, sir, don’t you think you should ask the owner? How would someone like me, who’s just eating here, know?” Sanzenin Arashi still smiled. “But speaking of which, sir, could you describe it to me? Perhaps I know?”

　Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you.

　You know, what goes around comes around!

　Kasumigaoka Takeshi was, after all, just an ordinary person. Under the world-class acting skills of Sanzenin Arashi, he didn't notice anything amiss and honestly began to recount: "He's a bastard who lied to my daughter and then called me to show off. I'm going to expose him and make my daughter understand the truth!"

　Sanzenin Arashi's eyes twitched, and she smiled wryly, "Perhaps this is a case of mutual affection? But from a young person's perspective, shouldn't we support our children's love? Even if it's wrong, young people are passionate and have strong emotions; they can afford to make mistakes. Is it really right to consider this matter from the perspective of an older person?"

　Kasumigaoka Takeshi sighed, "That's very true, but I can't tolerate anyone deceiving my daughter. They've only known each other for a month, and they've already reached the point where they don't come home at night. I really can't believe this would happen to my daughter. So that bastard must have used sweet talk to deceive my daughter, no doubt about it!"

　Sanzenin Arashi gave a wry smile. "You're really wrong about this."

　His manner of speaking was very seductive, a habit he had developed over a long period of time. Before Kasumigaoka Takeshi knew it, he had already revealed everything.

　The more he talked, the more frustrated Sanzenin Arashi felt. When did he become... a smooth-talking, manipulative bastard?

　Father-in-law, are you sure you're talking about me?

　Sanzenin Arashi coughed, preparing to make her point clear: "My name is Aoyama Arashi, and as I said, my opinion on this matter will not change."

　He revealed his name, and then it was time for a real game.

　Sanzenin Arashi did not believe he could not persuade Kasumigaoka Takeshi.

　However, when Kasumigaoka Takeshi heard the name, he didn't react at all. Instead, he stared blankly for a moment before his eyes widened: "You're Aoyama Arashi? The Aoyama Arashi who writes novels?!"

　Sanzenin Arashi's eyes widened.

　Let me think... This guy doesn't even know my name?

　It seems that's really the case!

　"How rude of me!" Takeshi Kasumigaoka sat down opposite Arashi Sanzenin. "May I ask for your autograph? My daughter has been talking about you a lot lately. I forgot to mention, my daughter also writes novels."

　He looked at Sanzenin Arashi with great approval, as if he regarded him as a role model for Japanese men.

　Arashi Sanzenin smiled awkwardly: "Let me be frank, I am the person you are looking for. Shiyu stayed out late last night and didn't go home, so I let her stay at my place."

　Kasumigaoka Takeshi's expression immediately became quite interesting...

　..

100. That's how it is.

　If Sanzenin Arashi were a father, knowing that his daughter had gone to a hotel with a scoundrel, he would definitely see the headline of someone dying tragically in Tokyo Bay the next day. So he wasn't really angry, but sat down in front of Kasumigaoka Takeshi with a pleasant expression.

　It was lunchtime, so Sanzenin Arashi ordered some food.

　Coffee, sandwiches, salad, bread, and some soup.

　Kasumigaoka Takeshi suddenly said, "You are also a successful young man, and your thinking is definitely more familiar than others, so I'll talk to you about some principles."

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded, carefully observing the other person's expression, and said in a low voice, "Please speak, Uncle."

　"My daughter is very beautiful, isn't she?" Takeshi Kasumigaoka suddenly asked out of the blue, then said, "Do you know how much effort I put into pursuing her? In college, I was always there for her, showering her with attention and care. I worked hard to buy her whatever she wanted. I'd been showcasing myself since high school, and I was lucky enough to not only go to the same university as her but also be in the same department. I persevered for five years with a well-thought-out plan, and finally, I got together with her. And you, you bastard, took my daughter to spend the night with me!!!"

　Several tic-tac-toe marks appeared on Kasumigaoka Takeshi's forehead, clearly indicating that he was trying hard to control his anger.

　Sanzenin Arashi tugged at her chin and whispered, "Uncle Wu, Shiyu and I are very serious. There are no such things as you mentioned. They don't exist at all."

　"Seriously my foot! Are you trying to say that my feelings are all just conjecture? How old are you guys?" Kasumigaoka Takeo was speechless with anger, staring resentfully at Sanzenin Arashi, and began tapping his fingers on the table.

　Sanzenin Arashi: ...

　He felt that he was always just one step away from communicating with this person.

　“I know who you are, a great writer with an annual income of over 100 million yuan. A social elite like you must see the world differently. You have such an amazing career at such a young age. Many people work for ten years and don’t earn as much as you do with one book. It’s really quite impressive. If you behave yourself, I won’t say anything.”

　Kasumigaoka Takeshi paused for a moment: "If we were just friends, I would be happy to see this happen and wouldn't interfere. But you bastard, you actually took her out for the night. I don't even need to tell you what happened. Do you know how I feel right now? Huh?"

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled as he looked at Kasumigaoka Takeshi. In his mind, Kasumigaoka Takeshi was thinking, "My daughter is so young, and you've taken her to spend the night with someone like that. This is too childish. You're a big writer, so you must know about these things. I think you're doing this on purpose, just using my daughter's body as a target for your casual play."

　However, in reality, it was consensual between the two of them, and the situation described by Kasumigaoka Takeshi did not exist at all. Of course, Sanzenin Arashi would not be so brainless as to say such a truth, and he maintained a humble and unyielding attitude.

　"So you two should break up quickly." Kasumigaoka Takeshi said earnestly, "Although you are very eligible, I want my daughter to have a happy future. It's not that I don't want you two to be together, but what you did is unacceptable. You've only known each other for a month, and you went to a hotel. My daughter has never done anything like this before. She's always been very obedient, comes home on time, and maintains top grades at school. She will definitely find her own happiness in the future. If you really like her, shouldn't you bless her and stay away from her?"

　Sanzenin Arashi raised her head, squinted, and stared directly at Kasumigaoka Utaha's father: "Don't you feel very irresponsible saying such things now?"

　"Ok?"

　"Shiyu is a person, not a toy in your hands. You say she's never done anything out of line since she was little, but are you sure these are things she truly wants to do?" Sanzenin Arashi's tone was still calm, but there was already some anger in it: "She gets first place in exams, and she goes home on curfew. Are you sure she doesn't want to be like her classmates, doing the latest trendy things and going to karaoke after school, but insists on going home early on curfew? Let me be frank, I don't think you have the right to decide who she's with. Besides, I'm serious, and Shiyu is serious too. Happiness is something that Kasumigaoka Shiyu herself decides, not you."

　Sanzenin Arashi paused for a moment: "You are her father, that's true, and you raised her from childhood to adulthood, that's also true. I admit that last night I did some things with her that you didn't want to happen, but I'm not a casual person either. Because I like her very much, that's why I said that this matter is not up to you. I only listen to your daughter."

　"I'm not here to lecture you with these grand principles!" Cold sweat trickled down Kasumigaoka Takeshi's forehead; he realized he couldn't win an argument with this young man: "You..."

　Sanzenin Arashi interrupted him bluntly: "Whether someone is happy or not needs time to prove it; it's not something that can be decided by casual talk. You should know this better than I do. I've been sitting here waiting for you all morning. You probably don't know what I've been doing lately. All I can say is that I'm currently doing something very important. As you can see, I'm a young person, and my career isn't well-established. Every second counts for me right now, but I've chosen to wait here instead of finishing my work because your daughter is more important to me than any of these things. I've made my decision clear. No matter what you say or do, my answer is always the same: I will absolutely not give up on Kasumigaoka Utaha. Do you understand?"

　With that, Sanzenin Arashi slapped the table, stood up, walked to the front desk, threw two 10,000 yen bills there, pushed open the door, and drifted away.

　Kasumigaoka Takeshi sat dejectedly in his seat, the words from earlier replaying in his mind like a sudden awakening.

　At that moment, Sanzenin Arashi drove to her studio.

　Regardless, work must continue. Kasumigaoka Takeshi is indeed a good father, that's undeniable. However, as his son-in-law, Sanzenin Arashi naturally has to clash with him on their respective sides.

　..

101. A somewhat strange job fair

　The job market in Japan is incredibly competitive! This is no exaggeration. High-paying jobs are highly sought after, and recent graduates aim for these high-potential, high-paying positions. As for low-paying jobs, even if they get them, they can barely make ends meet, leading to ever-increasing financial pressure.

　A salary of 150,000 is quite normal for college graduates. People from third- or second-rate universities earn this much. Only graduates from top-tier universities, such as the University of Tokyo, can earn more than 300,000 from the start. Japan has virtually zero tolerance for mediocrity, but is very tolerant of geniuses.

　Sanzenin Arashi doesn't need geniuses because he doesn't plan to create original works recently. As for the future, in short: I don't care about Japanese geniuses. I don't need people with many clever ideas. I only need people with strong action and who can carry out my words in one go.

　He needs hardworking people.

　The studio's name hadn't been decided yet, so Akito asked in the car, "Mr. Aoyama, we can't just put a whiteboard at the entrance for our job fair, can we?"

　He felt that holding a job fair, such a high-class event, was rather lacking in presence without even a sign.

　Arashi Sanzenin understood the concept of "cool" or "prestige," but Yukino Yukinoshita sat silently to the side, clearly knowing what he was thinking. She naturally understood that he always planned things out carefully, and the name of his studio was probably already decided long ago.

　While driving, Sanzenin Arashi couldn't get distracted and casually said, "Of course the name is decided. My studio will use 'New Nero' and the English logo will be NEWNEOSViod. What do you think of this name? It sounds impressive, right?"

　“NewNeosViod…” Aki Tomoya blushed slightly: “How cringeworthy! What is the meaning of the name Aoyama-sensei? Although I can feel that the logo will definitely look beautiful, because the words themselves are very cool to write.”

　Sanzenin Arashi chuckled.

　As for the name Shinnaki...

　This name is quite meaningful!

　Come on, come on, the three names, put them together.

　Shinbo Akiyuki.

　Nasu Mushroom

　Gen Urobuchi.

　Put the first character of these three names together, and you'll be surprised to find...

　New Naksu!

　Then in English: NewNeosViod!!

　Sanzenin Arashi is a name with a clear origin and great significance. However, unfortunately, not only Aki Tomoya, but also Yukinoshita Haruno only has a vague understanding of this joke. They understand what Sanzenin Arashi is playing at, but they don't know exactly what it is.

　When we arrived at the job fair, it was already past 1 a.m. We got the venue through Yukino Yukinoshita's connections. It didn't cost much, but it was incredibly valuable. It was located just a few hundred meters from the JR line in Tokyo and was a place that specialized in handling these kinds of events.

　Sanzenin Arashi's expression turned strange. He turned to look at Yuu, who still looked calm and collected with a smile on his lips. However, Aki Tomoya had already taken off his glasses, wiped them, and looked ahead.

　The entrance to the venue was already packed with people, including several eye-catching cosplayers, all of whom were recently popular anime characters. As Sanzenin Arashi mentioned in the book, job fairs welcome cosplayers, and our studio also needs such talent, so it's normal for a few to appear now.

　but……

　But wait! What's with that Blue Blue Road cult leader mixed in with the crowd?!

　Next to that "Blue Road Cult Leader" was a KFC Colonel. What were they up to? Were they worried everyone at the job fair would be hungry, so they came to sell fried chicken?!

　Fuck!!!

　"Teacher Aoyama... there are so many people here, how are we supposed to get in?" Aki Tomoya was dumbfounded. There were at least several hundred people there, and new people were still arriving one after another, blocking the entrance. "With this scale... can this be over today?"

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and said, "You don't need to worry at all. Just report your position and ask these people to make way for you. They will obediently clear the way for you."

　Aki Tomoya asked uncertainly, "Is this for real?!"

　Yukinoshita smiled and said, "It's true, Tomoya-kun. Look at these people, most of them are here for the high salaries. You're the director, you're the one who pays their salaries. Do you think they'll listen to you?"

　Aki Tomoya is a very pure person, and it was precisely because of this purity that Sanzenin Arashi recruited him to work under her.

　They won't lie to you, they're easy to manage, and they've dedicated their lives to the world of anime and manga. You probably couldn't find someone like that outside, someone with both talent and a deep love for anime and manga.

　Arashi Sanzenin realized that he had greatly underestimated the enthusiasm of college students for employment. With a monthly salary of 300,000 yen, not only those who aspired to game development, but also pretty girls from ordinary departments wanted to give it a try.

　"Let's go." Sanzenin Arashi walked straight ahead, shouting as she went, "The organizers are here! Make way, we're the organizers!"

　What happened next opened Aki Tomoya's eyes was that the crowd immediately quieted down at Sanzenin Arashi's shout, and then all eyes turned to this side. They quickly made way for the gate, their pace comparable to that of a regular army. A monthly salary of 300,000 yen is no joke.

　It would take at least four or five years for a young Japanese person to earn this amount of salary after working for a company.

　Look at Sanzenin Arashi's side, they even have bonuses, three types of insurance and other benefits, where else can you find such a good deal?

　So they quickly entered the venue smoothly. Then, Sanzenin Arashi looked at the setup inside: tables and chairs were placed to one side, and there were quite a few of them. They hadn't had time to be organized yet. Since the venue was needed urgently, Sanzenin Arashi didn't bother to complain.

　It would probably take half an hour to set this up, so Sanzenin Arashi simply stood at the entrance.

　"The venue hasn't been set up yet, everyone please help!"

　"I'm going to test everyone's execution ability. The three of us from the organizing team will be keeping an eye on things. The one with the best execution ability will get a bonus!"

　Yukino Yukinoshita covered her face and laughed: "Execution? Who are you kidding?"

　But the job applicants didn't think that way; everyone wanted a high-paying position, so a battle ensued.

　Normally, when setting up a place like this, everyone would be reluctant to do it... But now, everyone's rushing to move in!

　Whoever grabs it will be in a hurry!

　..

102. This thing looks like Final Fantasy.

　The setup was in full swing, and Aki Tomoya was pleasantly surprised. Usually, people either set up the job fair themselves or hire temporary workers to do it. But now, the job seekers were doing it themselves.

　Arashi Sanzenin nodded in satisfaction. If it were a reception at a regular company, he wouldn't have done it this way; the recruiters would probably have quickly become chaotic. However, these job applicants were all rather "homebodies." In fact, students who make games rarely go out; they stay at school writing code and thinking about storylines, and are generally quite quiet.

　There's no need to worry about these people causing trouble; they're all getting along well, which evokes the image of a harmonious society.

　Sanzenin Arashi also started tidying up the table. Yukinoshita Haruno, as the general manager, brought documents and studio materials, all of which were placed on the table. Sanzenin Arashi then took out three prepared nameplates.

　Many game industry supervisors and planners do not use their real names. Instead, they follow modern trends and use aliases on public platforms, including when announcing news.

　Then Sanzenin Arashi started playing around, and of course, she didn't use her real name to hold this job fair.

　So, on these three nameplates, the first one reads "Gen Urobuchi," and he placed it in his own spot!

　The other two, of course, need no introduction. The one with Shinbo Akiyuki's name on it was placed on Aki Tomoya's desk!

　Shinbo Akiyuki is an unconventional creator who was originally a loving content creator, much like Aki Tomoyuki.

　On Yukino's desk, Sanzenin Arashi placed Nasu Kinoko's nameplate; the two were equally cunning and not much different.

　Sanzenin Arashi, playing on a joke only he knew, chuckled and tapped the table. He thought maliciously, if there really had been such a job fair in his past life, with the three giants, Gen Urobuchi, Shinbo, and Kinoko Nasu, all coming together, the job seekers would probably be so intimidated by their aura that they wouldn't be able to speak properly.

　The entire job fair venue was about 150 square meters, not very big, but fortunately it wasn't a street-side venue, so everyone was able to queue up.

　The queue stretched from inside the venue to the intersection, a testament to its immense popularity.

　Everyone who came here was very confident. The first applicant came up and sat in front of Sanzenin Arashi. He took out his resume and a proposal, which read: Ikuta Hideichi.
