A super great writer in the second dimension

　After thinking for a moment, he put the instant noodles back and took out his phone to make a call.

　"Go buy me a serving of sushi, and a serving of tuna sashimi too."

　After hanging up the phone, Sanzenin Arashi suddenly felt something was off.

　I slept with Chino...

　'Would this be considered a demonic father?'

　He thought wickedly.

　..

208. All About Fate

　Arashi Sanzenin started wielding immense influence on Twitter, becoming the leader of the FFF group. Although he already has a girlfriend, those heterosexuals should really be burned at the stake.

　C89 is ostensibly the world's largest doujinshi convention, but it has actually been shrouded in the clutches of the man, Arashi Sanzenin. What appears to be a harmonious doujinshi sale has actually become the venue for the first gathering of heretics.

　He opened Twitter and burst out laughing, slapping the table. There were already many people discussing the C89 event.

　Many people also uploaded photos of themselves wearing FFF uniforms and holding torches.

　[You heretics! Even doujinshi can't satisfy your filthy desires, yet you want girls?]

　[You bunch of heretics, even doujinshi can't satisfy your filthy desires, and you still want girls? -- Please form a group]

　The first batch of soap has arrived outside the C89 venue; let's all get sticky!

　Even though I'm a girl, I'd love to participate in this kind of event too.

　'Come join me! I can lend you my torch.' Sanzenin Arashi thought with ill intent.

　"What kind of event is this, Uncle Lan?" A young girl's voice suddenly came from behind.

　Turning my head, I saw Chino standing by the sofa, rubbing her eyes, looking at the words on the screen with some confusion.

　This little girl who just lost her family, if she participates in this kind of offline event...

　Sanzenin Arashi thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you interested?"

　Chino Kafuu nodded, then asked, "Can I go?"

　"Go have fun if you want, but Uncle will take you to school tomorrow, you have to go to class. The day after tomorrow is the weekend, so have some fun."

　Sanzenin Arashi patted her little head, placed some snacks in front of the young girl, and then went back to work.

　When he's not busy, this workaholic feels incredibly empty and lonely, and he desperately wants to keep his hands full of things to do.

　I took advantage of this time to work on the FATE script.

　Fate/Stay/Night is a visual novel with some regrets. Its plot is inferior to Fate/HF in many aspects. Then there's Fate/Zero, which, although based on the Fourth Holy Grail War, is undoubtedly much stronger than this work in every way.

　Before making any changes to the work, Sanzenin Arashi started checking the Twitter comments about AngelBeats!!

　Regarding her audience, Sanzenin Arashi tries her best to satisfy them.

　So he opened Aki Tomoya's Twitter blog and nodded when he saw the 400,000 followers. His director was very reliable, and the high-quality blog made collecting various data much easier.

　[This time, Aoyama-sensei, using the pen name 'Gen Urobuchi,' brought us Angel Beats!!. I think its success lies in the fact that the story doesn't cater to mainstream tastes, yet the character designs are more refined than any other game on the market. More than the ending of Angel Beats!!, I'm more concerned with the characters' experiences before they reach the afterlife. People always have to gain something and then lose it before they truly appreciate what they have. After completing the hidden sister route, I was completely devastated, but my opinion of this work won't diminish.]

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at the review thoughtfully, constantly constructing the outline of FATE in her mind. Actually, Angel Beats!! This technique is like a montage. After telling you one piece of information, it uses another piece of information to complement it. In this way, the two routes resonate with each other, ultimately leaving the player with endless aftertaste.

　This technique often appears in obscure and difficult hard-boiled mystery novels, which can make the story more vivid and bring the undercurrents to the forefront.

　Sanzenin Arashi narrowed her eyes and made a major decision.

　I'll put the short story before the main story.

　The Fifth Holy Grail War has a well-known character.

　You may not know King Arthur, you may not know Cú Chulainn, and you may not even know who Archer is.

　You don't even need to know about a great hero like Helix.

　However, any Japanese person will know Sasaki Kojiro.

　Because you'll learn from history books!

　In Japanese elementary schools, this fictional swordsman is described.

　In junior high school, the teacher would go into more detail about the real-life figures who inspired his character.

　Sasaki Kojiro is a man who represents the samurai way, and he is an excellent example of enlightenment and spiritual education.

　This is also reflected in Fate.

　Even after participating in the Holy Grail War, he had no interest in anything else, focusing solely on the battles against the strongest.

　To live by the sword, to die by the sword.

　If this heroic spirit were used as a temporary protagonist and introduced at the beginning of the story, it would definitely have a good effect.

　The outline was very simple; Sanzenin Arashi typed a few hundred words in Word and then saved and closed it.

　For such an opening story to be impactful, its content itself must be simple.

　For example, the story of Hachiko, a loyal dog, is about the friendship between a dog and a human. The content is very simple, but it is very touching.

　In this story about Sasaki Kojiro, Sanzenin Arashi plans to use a similar approach to highlight his helplessness and the pain in his soul.

　In the storyline designed by Arashi Sanzenin, Kojiro Sasaki defeated Saber, but because he was satisfied, he committed suicide.

　Write down his martial arts in detail.

　After resolving the initial issue, Sanzenin Arashi prepared to read some negative comments.

　That is, the comments from trolls, and the reactions of players to those comments.

　Okay, he's going to start clearing the minefield. Some plot points can't appear in the main story, so he shouldn't write them in the first place.

　If players are shocked and disappointed, they won't buy into the next game.

　In fact, many writers and screenwriters do not compromise on this point, believing that things should be as they are. If their works do not sell well, they attribute the reason to the production company, saying that their production cannot reflect their scripts at all. But screenwriters like Gen Urobuchi are different. Their works will never be outrageous and will be completely designed to serve the players.

　That's true dedication.

　Sanzenin Arashi braced herself for being smeared with insults and clicked the "Show full text" button under a certain comment.

209. Sanzenin Arashi's Blade

　[With my IQ, I simply cannot understand what the author was thinking. Couldn't they just make a decent dating sim? The author is definitely overthinking it. A visual novel that doesn't focus on romance, constantly tangentially intertwined with the plot, even the sex scenes are inexplicably plot-driven, like sex is just for the sake of the story. There's absolutely no love in it, it's practically unplayable.]

　'It's not like GALPAPAPA doesn't advance the plot.'

　Sanzenin Arashi clicked on another comment.

　[Author, I'll fuck your whole family! Author ...

　Sanzenin Arashi: "..."

　It just goes to show that trolls exist everywhere.

　After shutting down her computer, Sanzenin Arashi mentally prepared the plot and was just about to start writing when the doorbell rang.

　Who is it?

　He got up and walked to the door. When he opened it, a deliveryman wearing a baseball cap was standing there, holding a small box. Seeing that the person inside had come out, he said directly, "Your package is here, please check it."

　"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Sanzenin Arashi wrote her name on the delivery slip.

　I glanced at the name on it, and it said "AngelBeats!! True Fan".

　After closing the door, Sanzenin Arashi was in a good mood, humming a nuclear explosion theme song, and sat on the sofa.

　'I was a little nervous when I received a letter from a fan for the first time...' Sanzenin Arashi stroked his chin thoughtfully.

　He picked up the box and shook it; a metallic clanging sound came from inside.

　'Hmm? There's a small gift too?'

　Sanzenin Arashi tore open the tape, revealing two pieces of interlocking white foam plastic. Looking at the meticulous packaging, her mood improved even more.

　After opening the foam plastic, Sanzenin Arashi narrowed her eyes as she looked at what was inside.

　He touched his face and gave an embarrassed smile.

　“Fu*k!”

　He gave the middle finger to the packaging box.

　There was a razor blade lying inside.

　There was also a piece of paper under the razor blade.

　Sanzenin Arashi picked up the note and looked at it.

　The words were written in bloody ink on it.

　The note read: Green Mountain Mist.

　The three characters were cut several times, making them look extremely gruesome, like a corpse that had been cruelly murdered.

　……

　[I'm so happy right now! Someone actually sent me razor blades! How can you call yourself a scriptwriter if you don't experience something like this? To meet this fan's expectations, I'll work even harder to make my next game. Please look forward to it! (evil laugh)]

　【Oh my god... Mr. Aoyama, you received razor blades?】

　[Don't worry about this kind of thing. As long as Aoyama-sensei is focused on writing a good story, that's all that matters. People with such fragile hearts exist everywhere, right? Such a low tolerance for stress... is that typical of a hardcore otaku? I really don't want to marry someone like that; they're disgusting.]

　[So, it seems the old scoundrel Qingshan is going to torture the girl again. How exactly is he going to do it this time?]

　Sanzenin Arashi, unusually, chatted with several big-name trolls on Twitter.

　[Who said I was going to torture girls? Stick your head out here and I'll give you a buff. This time, I'm going to torture men!]

　[Abusing men?!]

　So, you're saying your next project is coming out? Have you decided on a title yet?

　'These paparazzi.'

　Sanzenin Arashi chuckled and started typing on the keyboard.

　[Fate, Stay, Night, that's the name. Okay, I still need to write the script. Details about the game will be posted in the Nico Nico Games section. By the way, the Nico Nico Video section will also be launching soon, and there will be some amazing events waiting for you.]

　The video section was originally planned to be hosted overseas, but now it seems that peaceful Japan is a better option.

　After experiencing such a thing in Africa, his way of thinking has changed a lot.

　Arashi Sanzenin planned his schedule, his hands on the keyboard, scrolling through the Twitter page. He had already built up a considerable amount of fame, and the company had accumulated a certain amount of capital.

　In other words, it's time to enter the animation industry.

　You can control the script yourself, and you can use headhunting firms to find production staff from other companies, or simply train them yourself. But the main problem is the audience's taste. Without a certain IP foundation, there are many bottlenecks to face in original animation production, especially in animation production. Light novel anime adaptations are better off because they have a fixed supporter base, so even if they are a flop, they won't die too badly.

　Arashi Sanzenin set very high goals for himself; if a Blu-ray failed to sell more than 30,000 copies, it would be considered a failure.

　Two choices were presented to him.

　One is animation.

　Alternatively... we could start by creating anime idols, from Love Live! to Hatsune Miku, these projects are all quite good, and currently we have plenty of funding.

　Thinking of this, he took out his phone and made a call to SP.

　"Help me gather information about School Idol, and it would be best if you could compile a data report to show me your world-class strength."

　"Understood. The relevant reports will be delivered to you in an hour. Have a pleasant afternoon, young master."

　After hanging up the phone, Sanzenin Arashi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Kafuu Chino, who was watching TV. The little girl's adorable expression made him feel much better. He patted the little girl's head, and Chino showed a comfortable expression, but there was a slight resistance in her expression, just like a child who wanted to grow up and didn't like this kind of intimate behavior.

　"Is Chino interested in idols?" Sanzenin Arashi suddenly asked.

　The little girl moved her head away from the warm, large hand, sat down on the sofa, looked thoughtful, and then nodded.

　"Hmm, how about making Chino an idol?"

　The young girl turned her head away abruptly. "I'm not really interested, but... I'd like to try if I could."

　'You clearly mean it, but you're not being honest.'
