A super great writer in the second dimension

　"Now, get out!"

　Sanzenin Arashi opened Nakiri Erina's hand and pointed to the doorway.

　Erina Nakiri's eyes reddened, she covered her face with her hands, squatted down, and let out soft sobs.

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed inwardly; what he couldn't stand the most was a woman's tears.

　I turned around, sat down at the computer, and started typing.

　As for Erina Nakiri, let's just leave her out of the picture.

　..

125. The Young Lady, such a magical creature

　Erina Nakiri sat on the floor of Arashi Sanzenin's bedroom, holding a pebble in her hand, lost in thought.

　She felt wronged, her two swollen eyes staring at the ground, feeling both apologetic and annoyed.

　That's how I usually am. I boss my subordinates around and do whatever I want. Myoko takes care of everything for me. No one at school dares to disobey me. Although I didn't consciously try to accept these things, I was gradually influenced and subconsciously believed that if I did something, I would receive many times the reward.

　Like today, throwing paperbacks at him... that was definitely going too far.

　but……

　She was indeed provoked. The thought that the creator she had previously supported was actually this guy made Nakiri Erina's mind go blank. By the time she came to her senses, the paperback had already been thrown over.

　It felt as if a string in Erina Nakiri's heart had snapped.

　Everything went black before her eyes, and then she knew nothing more.

　……

　Sanzenin Arashi finished writing three chapters, totaling tens of thousands of words, and it was almost dawn.

　He also browsed Twitter and searched using a few keywords.

　The news that Battle Through the Heavens was being adapted into an anime had actually been reported by someone on Twitter before the planner, Miyazaki, even called.

　Sanzenin Arashi's response was simply: "I didn't watch it."

　You scroll through tens of thousands of tweets every day, and this comment just sits there, who would even notice it?

　Young ladies are such mysterious beings; most people simply don't understand how they think.

　Shaking her head, Sanzenin Arashi turned around and saw that Nakiri Erina was still sitting there with her knees drawn up, looking pitiful. It has to be said that this woman was very beautiful. After crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and her rosy face perfectly matched the online definition of "cute". You could even see the soft flesh on the inside of her thighs from her posture.

　Sanzenin Arashi was about to save what she had written when she realized that she had misspelled the volume title.

　The title of Sword Art Online Volume 4 is: Why do humans hurt each other?

　'Fine, I'll just post it like this.'

　Sanzenin Arashi put the manuscript on a USB drive and prepared to catch up on some sleep.

　As he reached the door, he glanced at Erina Nakiri.

　"Eh……"

　……

　Erina Nakiri thought about this matter repeatedly and realized more and more that she really didn't know how to behave.

　Everyone here comes from a wealthy family; this kind of communication would never happen between people from other families, but she just doesn't want to admit it.

　She believed that Sanzenin Arashi must know her situation, and that sending Sword Art Online over was just a deliberate attempt to make a fool of herself! Thinking about how she had previously spent time scrolling through comments on Twitter and even made those scheming investments in anime just to get to know Aoyama Arashi, Nakiri Erina wanted to find a hole to bury herself in.

　Actually, she wanted to apologize properly now, but this guy... after what he said before, she couldn't back down at all.

　Just as Erina Nakiri was staring blankly at the ground, a pair of feet were placed in front of her.

　She looked up and saw Sanzenin Arashi's face looking down at her with a very calm expression.

　"What...what are you going to do?" Erina Nakiri shrank back.

　Sanzenin Arashi said calmly, "I'm hungry and I'm going to get something to eat. I saw you crying all night, so I wonder what you want to eat. Although I find you very annoying, I won't just watch you torture yourself, so I'm planning to cook you too. What do you say?"

　"What are you up to... are you trying to bribe me?" Erina Nakiri shrank back again.

　Sanzenin Arashi shook her head. "There's a wall behind you. If you back up any further, you'll run into it."

　"If I crash into it, I'm the one who gets hurt, not you..." Erina Nakiri was still being stubborn.

　"Oh, I see." Sanzenin Arashi sat down next to her.

　Erina Nakiri panicked for a moment, her little bottom shifting back and forth, her body swaying. Suddenly, she slammed the back of her head against the wall. She was in pain and tried to rub it, but they were too close, and she grabbed Arashi Sanzenin's arm instead.

　"Ahhh..." Erina Nakiri shuddered again, pulled her hand back, lost her balance and fell sideways with a thud, hitting her head on the floor. She writhed on the ground in pain, swinging her legs back and forth, in excruciating pain but unwilling to show it.

　She gritted her teeth and sat up from the ground, only to see Sanzenin Arashi looking at her and laughing. She felt ashamed and indignant, but thinking of her previous actions, she didn't dare to argue back.

　"Hmm, you look much cuter now, Ms. Nakiri Erina." Sanzenin Arashi got up, walked to the living room, opened the cabinet under the TV, and took out a spray bottle.

　Back in the room, I saw Erina Nakiri's wary gaze.

　"Where...where did you go?!" She was terrified.

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed, then slowly sat down next to Nakiri Erina, handed her the spray, and pointed to her knee. "If you don't want a freckle on your leg, take this and spray it on. Um, I'm a little tired, I'll sit on my floor for a while. Is there a problem with that?"

　Erina Nakiri took the spray, glanced at Arashi Sanzenin with a complicated expression, and sprayed it on her knees. The cool alcohol made her shiver.

　For some reason, she was just very afraid of this person.

　"You, what exactly do you mean by coming to help me now?" she asked, unwilling to give up.

　Sanzenin Arashi shook his head: "If you consider handing a girl a spray as helping her, then I really start to feel sorry for you, Ms. Nakiri Erina. Although I don't know how you've grown up, I can tell from this reaction that at least your family wouldn't even offer you a spray after you were injured."

　Erina Nakiri's expression instantly became quite interesting. She was already very scared, and this hit a nerve, so she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

　"Sorry……"

　"Well, so you finally apologized? I thought you only knew how to curse people under your breath."

　Arashi Sanzenin crossed his legs and asked, "I checked Twitter and heard you bought 50,000 copies of Sword Art Online?"

　Erina Nakiri replied, "Hmm..."

　Sanzenin Arashi asked, "Are you an idiot?"

　"Um...uh, no..."

　"I also heard you're making an animation of Battle Through the Heavens? What, trying to act all mysterious and unfathomable in front of me, huh?"

　"Yes Yes……"

　Sanzenin Arashi, shaking her leg, asked, "So, what are your thoughts on me now?"

　"No, I don't know..."

　..

126. Anyone can pretend to be cool.

　“Actually, you really like Aoyama Arashi, which is my pen name, and even fantasize that he can save you. What a wonderful Grimm’s Fairy Tale-like way of thinking. I think you also have the potential to be a creator.” Sanzenin Arashi paused: “However, there are also old witches in Grimm’s Fairy Tale. Your expectations for Aoyama Arashi as an author are too high. You have even confused yourself. In fact, you don’t know me as a person.”

　Hearing this, Erina Nakiri blushed so deeply she was practically dripping with embarrassment.

　“Yeah… I admit it, okay? So now, are you going to laugh at me?” Nakiri Erina, who didn’t know where she got the courage, started arguing with Sanzenin Arashi head-on: “I’ve been an idiot from beginning to end.”

　“You’re just having a one-sided crush, Ms. Nakiri Erina.” Sanzenin Arashi bluntly stated, “You just fell in love with the author of those novels, and then discovered that this author was actually your fiancé, but you had a very bad impression of this fiancé, so you turned from a fan to a hater and couldn’t suppress your malice, and then attacked me personally.”

　"Shut up! Don't say another word!" Erina Nakiri gasped for breath. "Our relationship isn't like that—a love-hate one!!"

　Erina Nakiri's words startled Arashi Sanzenin. "Love-hate relationship" is such a fitting description. To the reader who bought 50,000 copies, I love you.

　Sanzenin Arashi shook her head. "Can you deny what I said?"

　Erina Nakiri stood up, her previous dejection gone, replaced by a radiant glow. Blushing, she shouted, "So, what is it you're talking about?!"

　"Stop hiding it, Ms. Nakiri Erina. I only found out about this after reading it on Twitter. You're actually a repressed person who dares to do things but not admit them. You're actually very dissatisfied with your family's decision, but you don't dare to resist at all. Accept reality. My pen name is Aoyama..."

　"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Stop talking!!" Having just recovered from her previous slump, Erina Nakiri had completely lost it: "You're definitely not that person! You two are actually two personalities, and Mr. Aoyama only comes out when he's writing the book! You're so shameless!!!"

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and said, "Now, as Aoyama Arashi, I'd like to ask you a favor. Ms. Nakiri Erina, please bring me your clothes."

　Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri froze on the spot, and after a long while, her eyes widened: "Huh?!"

　The clothes she was wearing now, if you took off any one of them, would leave her in a position where she could take nude art photos. She pointed at Sanzenin Arashi and said incredulously, "You've only just revealed your true colors now. I thought you were a gentleman, but you're just an idiot!"

　“I didn’t ask you to take off your outer clothes. I said, take off your inner clothes and give them to me.” Sanzenin Arashi stretched out her hand. “Take off your underwear and give it to me. You can think of me as your beloved Aoyama-sensei.”

　Arashi Sanzenin only wanted her clothes because he needed them for his upcoming plans. Although Erina Nakiri had completely misunderstood the situation, Arashi Sanzenin's unwavering gaze made it impossible for her to accept.

　Her beautiful, purplish-blue eyes were now veiled in black, making her look as if she had been ruined.

　"Here you go, I'll give you everything!" Erina Nakiri, in a fit of despair, started taking off her clothes. She reached under her short skirt and pulled down a very provocative pair of black panties, then slapped them at Arashi Sanzenin's face.

　Then she stared at Sanzenin Arashi with utter disdain: "Take it, and don't bother me anymore!"

　“Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Nakiri Erina.” Sanzenin Arashi smiled and extended her hand. “Anything else?”

　"What? What else? What exactly do you want..." Erina Nakiri started to say, then realized that this person actually wanted another thing. "You bastard, bastard, bastard!!!"

　Although she was cursing him as a bastard and her eyes were full of disdain, her body language betrayed her. She quickly took off her white bikini top and threw it over.

　Erina Nakiri, in her vacuum-sealed state, felt uncomfortable all over. She felt a sensation different from usual as she stood in front of Arashi Sanzenin, as if she were wearing nothing at all.

　That's right, she's going commando right now, and her skirt is unusually short; if even a slight breeze blows, she'll immediately...

　"Don't look! You've already taken it, what are you still looking at!?" Erina Nakiri squatted on the ground. "Take your eyes off me! You opportunistic bastard!"

　Why did I just think this guy was a gentleman?

　Erina Nakiri could no longer comprehend the current pace; her mind had become a complete mess.

　Sanzenin Arashi put away Erina Nakiri's two-piece outfit. He looked down and the woman's posture reminded him of a fairly famous anime character, Remilia crouching with her head in her hands to defend against Scarlett. The Scarlet Devil Mansion's young lady was in this posture after being fucked in the game: crouching with her head in her hands to defend herself.

　Sanzenin Arashi thought to herself, "When should I finally finish making the Touhou Project series?"

　However, he took those two items for two reasons. First, he genuinely needed them; they weren't for masturbation, but rather as evidence. Second, Sanzenin Arashi himself admitted that he simply wanted revenge.

　"Wait here for me," Sanzenin Arashi said before heading out of the house.

　He checked the time: four in the morning.

　It was already very cold outside, and not a single streetlamp was on, making it extremely dark. After Sanzenin Arashi went downstairs, she used her phone as a light to look around, then walked up to a black Land Rover and knocked on the window.

　A burly man, still looking sleepy, lowered the window. At first, he seemed impatient, but then he suddenly snapped to attention and adopted a very respectful expression. "Hello, is there anything I can do for you?"

　"Yes, I'm very satisfied with tonight. Pass on a message for me, understand?" Sanzenin Arashi said calmly, "You shouldn't refuse me, right?"

　"Of course..." The burly driver had fully perked up and turned on the headlights. "Excuse me, Mr. Sanzenin, is there anything you need us to convey to the head of the family?"

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded thoughtfully: "I don't like being disturbed. Remove your people. Also, I'm currently experiencing life. Tell him: don't make this public. You can go back now."

　"This..." the driver hesitated, "...for the young lady's safety..."

　Sanzenin Arashi narrowed his eyes and slapped the car window: "Do you believe that if I make a gesture right now, the Sanzenin family's SP team will sink this car into Tokyo Bay?"

　After saying that, he stared at the driver with an expression like that of a spoiled rich kid.

　These are all lies, of course, but who can't bluff?

　..

127. Eat while I gaze at the stars!

　Sanzenin Arashi made some very boastful remarks, and although there were clearly no Sanzenin people around, this member of the Totsuki family believed him.

　It's like a prince telling a minor official that he can be promoted; even if the prince is just saying it, the minor official will still believe it without hesitation.

　This thing is called: majesty.

　There's no way to cultivate authority; it arises naturally when your social status is higher than the other person's.

　Well... just like a student who hasn't done their homework facing their homeroom teacher, what kind of authority can a teacher have in front of ordinary people? But in front of students, they are full of authority.

　Sanzenin Arashi made no hesitation in bluffing, because he was certain the other party would believe him.

　However, the head of the Totsuki family, Erina Nakiri's father, was not so easily fooled.

　However, the hermit has a clever plan.
