A super great writer in the second dimension

　ProjectShelter, the so-called refuge, is the full name of the underwater mothership that was built.

　Emperor Sanzenin said calmly, "You can confirm it yourself. If one day we can witness the crisis of the Sanzenin family's extinction, the opportunity for this thing to be put to good use will probably come."

　"We'll contact you again when we get to Africa."

　After saying that, Emperor Sanzenin hung up the phone.

　……

　Early the next morning, Sanzenin Arashi went to the NNV studio.

　He had already planned out the schedule for this period of time. The novel app would be supervised and promoted by Yukino Yukinoshita. The chapters of Bakemonogatari and Battle Through the Heavens would be revised and made available for paid reading. The basic model would be similar to online reading in China: the first three chapters of the novel app would be free, and then the paid program would begin, charging 10 yen per thousand words.

　A paperback book contains approximately 100,000 characters, and the total cost of reading it is less than 1,000 yen, which is within an acceptable range.

　It's a classic case of scarcity marketing, so it's only natural that it's more expensive than a regular 500 yuan paperback.

　Sanzenin Arashi sat in his office, using his computer to book a flight to Africa for the next day under the name of NNV Studio. Yukino Yukinoshita's public number received a text message. She pushed open the door to Sanzenin Arashi's president's office and asked with a smile, "Boss, have you finally shown your fangs?"

　"Huh?" Sanzenin Arashi was completely confused by her question.

　Yukino sighed inwardly and slammed her hand on the table. "C89 is just around the corner, but the boss is leaving a bunch of events behind and just washing his hands of everything. What does that mean?"

　Sanzenin Arashi tapped the table. "I'm going to Africa for a family gathering and probably won't be back for a month. As the general manager, remember to finalize the novel reading app during this time. Someone Sebastian has his eye on, can't even handle something this simple?"

　"That's not the point, okay? To be honest, all the planning in our studio rests on the boss's shoulders. How can the studio operate without you?"

　Yukino's expression was one of 'Your Majesty, I can't do it,' which left Sanzenin Arashi completely bewildered.

　“Then you’ll have to work a little harder.” Sanzenin Arashi shrugged. “I have to attend the family’s annual meeting in Africa.”

　Yukino Yukinoshita squinted at her and said, "So the BOSS is the heir of a powerful family? You've kept that from me for so long."

　Did you ask me?

　"Oh, that seems to be the case. But speaking of which family, which one is it?"

　Sanzenin Arashi then uttered a sentence that made Yukinoshita Haruno cough up blood.

　He chuckled and patted the table. "Guess!"

　"No need to guess, Boss, you just want to play around."

　Yukino Yukinoshita glared resentfully at Sanzenin Arashi, "This studio will go bankrupt by the time you come back. I might as well take the boss and go sleep on the streets of Tokyo and become a beggar."

　"Why don't you ask Sebastian for more people?" Sanzenin Arashi stared at her. "It's just a few people. Even if I'm not here, four or five more people can still run the business normally. Go ask him."

　Yukino Yukinoshita covered her face. "How could I have such a big face? Boss, you were just chosen by Mr. Sebastian, and you're already acting like this. Be careful you don't get kicked out."

　Sanzenin Arashi chuckled mischievously and ruffled Yukinoshita's hair. "Go ahead and ask for it. Just tell Sebastian that I told him to, and he'll definitely give it to you."

　Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita gave a strange look. "You say there are people? That's the head butler of the Sanzenin family. Do you think you're the heir of the Sanzenin family?"

　"You said it yourself, and I really did ask Sebastian for him." Yukinoshita Haruno took out her phone, pretending to make a call, but her eyes kept scanning Sanzenin Arashi.

　She fully expected someone to show a panicked expression, but Sanzenin Arashi looked completely at ease, which made Yukinoshita Haruno feel a pang of jealousy.

　"Oh, by the way, you need to take good care of Mashiro during this time. She's my right-hand woman. If she loses even a hair on her body, I'll hold you responsible." Sanzenin Arashi instructed, "Let me teach you an easy way. You can ask Sebastian for her at his party. You're sure to get elites from all walks of life."

　Yukino Yukinoshita, this unruly woman, was completely convinced. She couldn't help but speculate about it, thinking about what Sanzenin Arashi had done at the family meeting.

　But no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out which powerful family would release someone to make visual novels.

　Sanzenin Arashi's achievements since her debut have all been attributed to Sebastian's help.

　Meanwhile, Sanzenin Arashi was considering Sanzenin Nagi's situation.

　He's going back this time to announce to everyone... that he's getting married, and that his wife is his sister.

　And now that I've done this to Erina Nakiri, I'm going to bring her to the annual party this time.

　Thinking of this, Sanzenin Arashi's expression became very strange.

　Isn't it incredibly unfair to announce your marriage to your sister in front of Erina Nakiri?

　After Yukino Yukinoshita left the office, Arashi Sanzenin made a phone call to Erina Nakiri.

　..

186. Tsundere girl Erina Nakiri

　I definitely need to let Erina Nakiri know about going to Africa.

　Although it was not her personal choice, and Erina Nakiri was going to go anyway, it was still necessary to inform her.

　I took out my phone and dialed the number; the call was answered quickly.

　"What do you want?" Erina Nakiri's voice had a sadistic edge to it.

　Hearing this voice, Sanzenin Arashi felt something was off. Ever since the girl had played with him in the toilet last time, her personality seemed to have changed completely.

　"I'm leaving for the annual meeting tomorrow. Pack your things, I'll be back in a bit."

　"Oh... I see, I understand now."

　“Wear a kimono at the annual party, I’ll arrange for someone to make one for you,” said Sanzenin Arashi.

　"So, what else is going on?"

　Sanzenin Arashi said, "I'm thinking about something right now."

　There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "What are you thinking about?"

　Sanzenin Arashi suddenly laughed, "...See you this afternoon then."

　"Hey, can you finish what you're saying? What are you thinking?" Erina Nakiri's voice sounded a little anxious.

　Sanzenin Arashi asked with a smile, "Are you very concerned about me, Nakiri-san?"

　“…Uh…” There was a strange feeling in Erina Nakiri’s voice. “Tell me quickly!”

　Sanzenin Arashi tapped the table, rested her elbow on it, squinted, and said, "Yes or no, choose one."

　"Why did you do something so troublesome?!" Erina Nakiri's voice was a little loud.

　“I’ll tell you once you’ve chosen.” Sanzenin Arashi said calmly and confidently. “Yes or no?”

　On the other end of the phone, Erina Nakiri held her phone, her face flushed and her brows furrowed.

　"Speak up, Ms. Nakiri Erina?" Sanzenin Arashi's smiling voice came through the microphone.

　He was teasing Erina Nakiri, and showed no sign of stopping.

　This sudden change in personality makes Sanzenin Arashi really want to toy with her!

　"What are you talking about? How rude!" Erina Nakiri said "No, don't," but her actions betrayed her true feelings. "Yes, I do care about your feelings, okay?"

　"Yes, being honest with yourself is a good thing." Sanzenin Arashi's laughter rang out.

　"Then say it!" Erina Nakiri had already cursed this bastard a thousand times in her heart.

　Sanzenin Arashi suddenly said, "I was thinking, you would look beautiful in a kimono..."

　“Ee, ee…”

　A very strange sound came from the other end of the phone.

　Click—Erina Nakiri hung up the phone.

　“Uh…” Sanzenin Arashi opened her mouth, glanced at her phone screen, and said, “I haven’t finished yet. These young ladies these days have no patience.”

　……

　At a high-end restaurant in Roppongi, Chef Tanaka is preparing to apply for a Michelin star next year.

　Erina Nakiri sat at the dining table, her pretty face flushed, and couldn't help but bang her phone hard on the table.

　"What?!"

　"What does that mean?!"

　On the table sits a beautifully presented French dish, with pesto and other essential French dipping sauces spread on the sides of the plate, and a vegetable jelly in the center.

　Erina Nakiri put down her phone, cut a piece of vegetable jelly with her knife and fork, put a small piece into her mouth, chewed it slightly, and then frowned.

　Chef Tanaka looked at the young lady of Totsuki Academy, a person known as the "God Tongue," and broke out in a cold sweat.

　She squinted her eyes and took a moment to feel it before putting down her knife and fork.

　"Gulp..." Chef Tanaka swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

　"Let me say something." Erina Nakiri crossed her arms, looking at the dish with a cold expression, not paying any attention to the chef next to her.

　"Yes!"

　The owner and head chef of the French restaurant actually looked nervous in front of a student.

　“Food is made for people to eat, and all I can say is that this is a truly foolish dish.” Erina Nakiri stood up from the table. “You should try to get a star rating again in two years.”

　“Yes…” Tanaka lowered his head, his face completely flushed.

　"I have a few things to say about this dish, after all, I was commissioned." Erina Nakiri stroked her chin. A restaurant of this caliber, if it weren't for…

　"Fine, I'll just be blunt." Erina Nakiri shook her head. "Whether it's the sauce or the knife skills for the vegetables, they're all substandard. The messy cutting makes the filling less appealing and the taste is terrible. You dare to serve me this stuff that's designed to fool ordinary diners? You're worse than a monkey."

　Chef Tanaka felt a pang in his heart, but he dared not offer any resistance.

　After the young lady from Totsuki left, he sat dejectedly at the dining table, having already poured the vegetable jelly into the trash can.

　……

　In the afternoon, Sanzenin Arashi went to the editorial department of Shinazugawa Bunko.

　Since I'll be away for over a month, the Sword Art Online manuscript needs to be brought over in advance to keep up with the pace.

　Hmm... the content of Sword Art Online has been completely changed by Arashi Sanzenin.

　Starting from the middle of the Alo arc, it was completely fragmented by Sanzenin Arashi and turned into a completely different story.

　Nobuyuki Sugo is Asuna's nominal fiancé. The original Sword Art Online describes how he imprisoned Asuna in a virtual world.

　Arashi Sanzenin's ALO completely overturned this story.

　Originally, the ALO arc would have ended after Asuna was rescued by Kirito.

　Arashi Sanzenin changed the ending so that Asuna was brain-dead by Nobuyuki Sugo and became a vegetable. Her consciousness remained dormant in ALO, and Asuna believed that ALO was the real world.

　Kirito then began living with Asuna in the game, and the two fought many powerful bosses and experienced a truly unforgettable adventure.

　"I will definitely wake you up and bring you back. There are still many things we haven't done together, and I will never give up until then!" Kirito said to Asuna.

　Sword Art Online has become a touching work, and it's also very enjoyable to write. Its reputation is no lower than that of the original work.

　The special revenue-sharing contract for this work ended with the fifth volume.

　As Sanzenin Arashi brought over Volume 6, she prepared to observe the editorial department's reaction.

　He forced Shinazugawa Bunko to make a decision.

　..

187. Amendment to the Contract

　Nishikawa was compiling year-end reports. It was already mid-November, and all the major companies were doing the same thing at this time, including Shinazugawa Bunko. His eyes were starting to blur.

　He was probably the most relaxed one in the entire editorial department, since he was only the author of "Sword Art Online," and the book had already sold three million copies. This made him able to hold his head high in front of his family, and he was also very arrogant among readers, able to talk about grand principles without any problem.

　Just as he was busy with everything, his phone suddenly rang.

　Nishikawa frowned as he looked at the caller ID, then immediately put on a bright smile. The three words "[Aoyama Arashi]" on the screen made his eyes narrow. This author, like other authors, never did anything as pointless as missing deadlines or standing people up. This call must mean that the sixth volume was settled.

　With this in mind, Xi Chuan happily pressed the answer button.

　"Good afternoon, Professor Aoyama. May I ask what brings you here on this call?"

　Sanzenin Arashi's voice rang out, "Um, I wanted to ask Editor Nishikawa this time, my contract for Sword Art Online, does it mean to release five volumes before the end of the year, right?"

　"Ah...yes, does Professor Aoyama have any questions?" Nishikawa asked cautiously.

　He felt something was off about the phone call, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

　"Now that I've got Volume Six, what about the contract?"

　"Huh?" Xichuan was stunned for a moment, and the next second his pupils suddenly dilated.
