A super great writer in the second dimension

　At the same time, he grabbed Xiaobaihe's buttocks hard, and the older sister's expression immediately changed.

　"Why don't you try it and see?" Eriri wasn't afraid at all. "Even if you..."

　"Ah..." Little Lily suddenly cried out.

　Eriri Sawamura was talking animatedly when she heard the voice and couldn't help but look over. "Mom? Are you feeling unwell?"

　Xiaobaihe waved her hand without changing her expression, "You guys continue chatting, I'll go make a cup of tea."

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled. "Need any help? I'm quite good at making tea."

　In fact, Sanzenin Arashi didn't know how to make tea at all; these things were done by the maids, so it wasn't his place.

　Sayuri could see it, of course, but Arashi Sanzenin didn't give her a chance to refuse at all, and stood up and followed directly behind her.

　"What happened?" Eriri Sawamura looked at the pair strangely, but didn't think much of it.

　Sanzenin Arashi knew that she didn't have that kind of cleverness, so she was very unrestrained. However, Sayuri was very nervous, afraid that her daughter would find out.

　"Eri, go get the snacks from the refrigerator," Sayuri said casually, and then went to make tea with Sanzenin Arashi.

　The tea set was placed in the next room. Usually, the Sawamura family's servants would brew the tea and bring it over, but now the master was brewing the tea himself.

　After entering the room, Sanzenin Arashi became even more unrestrained, pressing her body completely against Sayuri's back, her hands roaming over Sayuri's body.

　Although Sayuri was worried about being discovered by her daughter, she did not refuse and allowed Sanzenin Arashi to touch her body, even nudging her with her buttocks.

　Sanzenin Arashi gasped in shock. His older sister had pressed against a very sensitive spot, and he couldn't help but push her down in the tea room.

　……

　"I said, this tea tastes awful. Are you really good at brewing tea?"

　Eriri took a sip of the black tea brewed by Sanzenin Arashi. Well, British cuisine is indeed deadly; even tea can't be enjoyed together.

　"Eri, you can't be so rude."

　Sawamura Sayuri was actually very nervous. She had just done that kind of thing, and her daughter was right next door. What was she feeling? She was even more excited than usual.

　"But Mom, it tastes bad, it tastes bad. The tea leaves weren't even properly steeped!"

　Eriri has always been very resentful of Sanzenin Arashi.

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and said, "Eri, you said you didn't want it, but your body betrayed you and you drank the tea I made. What a tsundere girl you are."

　Upon hearing what Sanzenin Arashi said, Eriri immediately went berserk, her face turning incredibly red.

　She retorted, "Wh-what...I didn't drink it! This cup was made by Mom!!"

　"Oh?" Sanzenin Arashi stroked her chin. "So, you think the tea your mother makes is awful?"

　"I didn't say that, did I?" Eriri turned her face away. "I was talking about the tea you brewed."

　"But you didn't drink the tea I brewed, did you?" Sanzenin Arashi said, indicating that her tea-brewing skills were not bad. "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've at least seen a pig run, right?"

　Watching those royal maids brew tea every day, how could one's standards possibly be low?

　"So you're just being stubborn. Be honest with yourself about how you feel," Sanzenin Arashi said with a smile. "You tsundere girl, Eriri."

　"That's enough, you're the one who's arrogant and conceited."

　Little Lily breathed a sigh of relief. Once the boy had vented his anger, he wouldn't cause any more trouble.

　Sanzenin Arashi, as usual, teased Eriri before getting to the point: "I came here because I need your help with something."

　"Your FF group plan?" Sayuri smiled. "It is indeed a good idea. So, how can I help you?"

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded: "You're quite popular with large doujin circles, aren't you?"

　Sayuri couldn't deny it, "That's indeed the case."

　"Could you get your people to wear FF Group uniforms to sell doujinshi?" Sanzenin Arashi explained his plan. "Ideally, all the clubs would wear FF Group uniforms, but I don't have their contact information. It would be too much trouble to go looking for them one by one. For small clubs or individual stalls, I'm willing to pay 10,000 yen per stall to let them wear FF Group uniforms, but for large clubs, they probably won't care about that amount of money."

　Sanzenin Arashi's words made Sayuri's eyes light up. "This is about generating buzz, right? When the stall owner wears the FF group uniform, it will create buzz in the entire anime and manga community because this is the biggest fan event in the anime and manga community. And Arashi-kun, as the initiator of the event, will naturally receive attention."

　Arashi Sanzenin nodded. "You know I never do anything meaningless. This time at C89, I must push my Nico Nico Douga popularity to its peak. According to the normal development path, it will take at least five or six years, but I can't waste that much time on promotion. I must seize every opportunity."

　Sanzenin Arashi said, “When Nico Nico becomes popular, it can attract more doujinshi creators to participate, and many topics in the 2D culture will continue to be discussed for a longer period of time. These intermittent topics will eventually merge together and become what is called 2D culture. I believe everyone will like the Nico Nico website.”

150. Competitive Planning

　ComicMarket, a Japanese doujinshi convention, has been held since the mid-20th century. It is the world's largest offline gathering for anime and manga enthusiasts, with a large number of veteran fans and the number of booths steadily increasing every year.

　Even though the Japanese anime and manga community isn't as big as it was in the past, according to information obtained by Sanzenin Arashi at C89, the total number of clubs they participate in, including individual clubs, is close to ten thousand.

　Sanzenin Arashi certainly wouldn't give 10,000 yen to everyone. He hadn't considered individual clubs; his main goal was to create clubs as a group or clubs with a profit-making objective.

　In fact, making all these clothes would cost several million yen, but he has invested his current funds in AngelBeats!! promotional channels, leaving him with very little, only a few tens of millions.

　However, AngelBeats!! will be released more than half a month before CM, which is next Friday.

　Using the funds recovered from this wave, approximately 100 million yen will be allocated for the FF group activities at C89.

　It's fair to say that Arashi Sanzenin went to great lengths to promote Nico Nico Douga, basically going to any lengths possible.

　However, it would be even better if this could lead to an explosive increase in website traffic.

　Taking advantage of the release of AngelBeats!!, we will directly purchase high-quality servers, launch a video section all at once, and introduce incentive policies to attract UpMaster to produce videos. This plan will be launched before C89 is established.

　Regarding C89, Sanzenin Arashi has even more amazing plans. Although most doujin circles are non-profit, who wouldn't be happy to be paid?

　He smiled and looked at Sayuri, asking, "This shouldn't be a big problem, right? It's just one of those fan events, and at events like C89, everyone's supposed to make a ruckus!"

　Sayuri chuckled: "What's all the fuss about? In the end, everyone's helping you advertise, right? Is Lan-kun underestimating ComicMarket? Do you know how many clubs are participating in this event? It would take at least tens of millions of yen to distribute the merchandise."

　After all, with thousands of clubs, even if 10,000 yen isn't much, if each club sends out such a red envelope, it would cost tens of millions of yen.

　Arashi Sanzenin shrugged. "I'm not worried about funding at all. For a money-grubbing capitalist like me, time is the most valuable thing. It's the catalyst for money, and the necessary fuel for everything to run... Does that sound a bit melodramatic?"

　One hundred million yen seems like a lot, but when converted to RMB, it's only a few million.

　Converted to US dollars, it's about one million; if converted to British pounds, it's less than one million.

　It's like playing a strategy game; money isn't important, achieving the greatest results is what matters most.

　For capitalists, the market is the chessboard for strategic games.

　Money is just game currency, just a number.

　Xiaobaihe narrowed her eyes, "It seems that Lan-jun isn't worried about funds lately?"

　She looked at Sanzenin Arashi as if she could see right through him. However, this was a matter of knowing something and not knowing it; to the uninformed, it seemed like a joke. Giving away tens of millions so casually? Does this rich guy need an accessory on his leg?

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded, a half-smile on her face, and said, "Of course, what do you think of my visual novel sales, Sayuri-san?"

　"Is Lan-kun going to invest all the profits from this visual novel?" Xiaobaihe frowned. "Isn't that a bit too much? Is this website really that powerful?"

　Perhaps in Sawamura Sayuri's opinion, a visual novel game could only earn a maximum of tens of millions of yen.

　Indeed, if you make an average bestseller, the revenue would be only tens of millions of yen.

　“NICONICO is certainly amazing, I can guarantee that, but as for the profitability of the visual novel…” Sanzenin Arashi shook his head, “We’ve already sold 45000 copies through online pre-orders alone, and we expect to sell around 20,000 copies through other channels. But there are still six days until the game’s release, and online pre-orders only started a few days ago. I did some not-so-good things on Twitter, and that’s how we got this result.”

　Sayuri was stunned. She looked at Sanzenin Arashi, who patted her arm, and asked, "Are you serious?"

　"What do you mean by something not so good?"

　"Slight spoiler, Ms. Sayuri." Sanzenin Arashi pointed to her heart. "Curiosity and curiosity drove me to work out the side quest outlines, release them along with illustrations and CGs, and then stimulate the fanbase with my own voice acting. Well, how should I put it? I rarely appear on these kinds of platforms, and isn't being a 16-year-old writer a good gimmick? Everyone's curious about who I am, and this game has a decent foundation, so I promoted it through JUMP channels."

　Just kidding, Inuyasha is currently in the top three in the reader polls at JUMP.

　JUMP has been heavily promoting the manga artist Shiina Mashiro lately, and her name has become a hot topic among JUMP readers. Aren't you curious that such a manga artist would go and create visual novels?

　It's rare for manga artists in Japan to create visual novels (GAL). GAL illustrations don't pay well, and they don't earn as much as manga. Plus, the requirements for drawing them are extremely high. A famous manga artist like Mashiro would have to be crazy to make GALs.

　This is a one-of-a-kind product in the world, created by one of the top three manga artists in JUMP. Why not buy it?

　This situation is as astonishing as the Endymion Miracle.

　Buzz marketing is currently the most effective method.

　“I can indeed help Lan Jun contact those people. Well, leave this matter to me. Lan Jun, just leave the funds that need to be paid with me.” Xiao Baihe smiled mysteriously. “Only 20 million will be enough. I can handle this matter.”

　Sanzenin Arashi was stunned.

　Is that all?

　On average, a stall would cost less than 5,000 yen. Why would anyone do that?

　After thinking for a while, Sanzenin Arashi understood as if by divine inspiration.

　"Use a competitive mode?"

　"As expected of Lan-kun, your mind works so fast." Sayuri gave a thumbs up: "The qualification for the competition is to wear the FF group's clothes. If a member of the group wears these clothes, they can be identified as a participant. During CM89, I will send people to observe their doujinshi. The group with the best evaluation will receive a prize of 20 million yen. This way, we won't waste money and we can also create buzz. After all, a prize of 20 million yen is a once-in-a-lifetime event in the doujinshi world."

　"However, Lan-jun can't do that. At least for now, not many clubs will take Lan-jun's words seriously. But I'm different. If I make this decision, everyone will treat it as a semi-official competition and participate with all their might."

　After hearing this, Sanzenin Arashi laughed. Seeing that Eriri had already gone upstairs and that it was just the two of them, he took Sayuri's hand and gave her a deep kiss. Sayuri playfully pushed him away, after all, his daughter was upstairs.

　It wasn't that he hadn't thought of competing projects, but rather that he had already filtered out this plan. He was just someone who had appeared out of nowhere, a complete newbie in the doujinshi world. Was he afraid of making a fool of himself by saying such things?

　However, Sayuri is a seasoned veteran, a top-tier fujoshi in the doujinshi world, having been involved for decades, so of course she has a lot of influence.

　“We’ve settled this matter.” Sanzenin Arashi said goodbye to Sayuri at the door. “Let’s see who comes out on top at C89 next time.”

　The beautiful wife, having been pampered, now had a rosy complexion. She smiled and waved to indicate that she understood.

151. Aoyama Nanami

　Ginza in Tokyo is undoubtedly Japan's most upscale shopping district, surpassing even Roppongi and Ikebukuro in its vibrancy. Since the end of World War II, both foreigners and Japanese have regarded it as the center of the nation.

　Cars are not allowed to pass through Ginza. The streets are bustling with people, and fashionable women carrying shopping bags can be seen everywhere. There are also some students dressed simply shopping. Today is the weekend, which is the busiest and most lively time.

　Arashi Sanzenin stood on the shopping street next to Ginza in Tokyo, preparing to buy some casual clothes and a watch to dress herself up nicely.

　To be fair, in his previous life he liked watching cartoons and his family was quite wealthy, probably around several hundred million RMB. Anyway, he wouldn't have to worry about anything until he died.

　However, for all otaku, even if you have a lot of money and can indulge in all sorts of extravagant spending, buying seven or eight carats of diamonds without batting an eye, when an anime character is placed in front of you, all those worldly things are forgotten.

　Meeting an anime character is undoubtedly the highest tribute to anime fans.

　To reiterate, shopping with Nico Yazawa is the highest tribute to cult members.

　'Let me see if I can unlock the Yazawa Nico route today.'

　Sanzenin Arashi possesses an air of superiority.

　He stood on the edge of the Ginza shopping street in Tokyo, and many people would unconsciously look at him as they walked by. Sanzenin Arashi was already used to this kind of gaze from all directions.

　As a person of high status, he felt no shame in being naked in front of maids and servants. There was nothing to be ashamed of in the body given to him by heaven and earth and his parents.

　Many people may think that this kind of temperament is cultivated by money, but the result is not so simple. Money is certainly a part, but there are rich bumpkins everywhere. There are many rich people in this world, but the truly superior people are different from them in terms of their thinking and perspective.

　True high-level people are good at seeing through the essence of things, rather than judging a person by their monetary value like nouveau riche. The real skill is putting the right person in the right place.

　I don't care whether you're rich or not, because you're definitely not as rich as me. Sanzenin Arashi borrowed a phrase from someone in her past life.

　Being rich is taken for granted, but being rich for the sake of being rich—that's probably the difference between him and others.

　Therefore, just by standing in this place, Sanzenin Arashi can attract a lot of attention.

　"that……"

　Suddenly a female voice came from inside. Sanzenin Arashi turned around and saw, "Isn't this Nanami? Are you shopping with your classmates?"

　Aoyama Nanami attends the affiliated high school of Suimei University of the Arts and is also working hard at a voice actor training school. She scratched her head and said, "A classmate from the training school invited me to go shopping with them today, so I came..."

　Aoyama Nanami usually doesn't dress up at all, but today she put on a little makeup, giving her a fresh and clean look that was refreshing. Especially since she was wearing white stockings, she also had a pair of very beautiful legs.

　Sanzenin Arashi was puzzled. How come she didn't realize last time that this girl was actually very pretty?

　Looking to the side, I saw several girls walking towards us.

　My cheap cousin doesn't seem like the type to go shopping, and sure enough...

　"Make sure you get along well with your classmates." Sanzenin Arashi smiled and patted her head.

　Aoyama Nanami was stunned for a moment, her expression somewhat incredulous, her face slightly flushed. "I'll go tell my friend."

　Nanami was caught off guard by the sudden head pat.
