A super great writer in the second dimension

　"What the hell are you doing, you bastard... um..." Nishikawa covered his phone and whispered, "Teacher Aoyama, this guy rushed back from the US. His idols are training there, but their flight was delayed. It's snowing heavily in San Francisco, and visibility at the airport is less than 100 meters. It looks like he won't arrive for a few more days..."

　Nishikawa was very uneasy, after all, this was the first thing Sanzenin Arashi had asked him to do, and now that he had messed it up, he felt ashamed.

　“It’s alright. Idol projects require a long preparation time. My daughters and the others also need several months of training before they can be used. You just need to finalize the project.” Sanzenin Arashi thought for a moment, “Don’t let me down.”

　Nishikawa nodded hurriedly, as if pounding garlic, "Yes!"

　……

　"Has Mr. Aoyama finished explaining?"

　"Well, let's go up."

　Sanzenin Arashi consciously walked ahead of Yazawa Mion, but in her heart she was wondering if she should give Mrs. Yazawa a heads-up, since what she was about to say was a bit unexpected.

　Making a second-grade elementary school student an idol...

　To put it simply, Sanzenin Arashi probably thought Yazawa Mion's reaction was even more surprised than hearing, "You won 100 million yen in the lottery."

　Sanzenin Arashi remained silent until they passed through the lobby. After getting on the elevator and seeing that no one was around, he suddenly asked, "Ms. Yazawa Mion, what are your thoughts on the idol industry?"

　This is a question that most people probably wouldn't know how to answer, maybe 90% of them.

　But Mio Yazawa has a daughter.

　The daughter here is named Yazawa Nico.

　Anyone familiar with LoveLive knows that Nico Yazawa has always aspired to be an idol since she was a child, a fact that is common knowledge in her family.

　"An idol? That's a strange question. Mr. Aoyama, you know my daughter wants to be an idol, right?" Yazawa Mion said with a smile. "As long as it doesn't violate any principles, I support my child."

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at the married woman and already understood.

　Others may not know what Mrs. Yazawa did, but he knows.

　Who is Mio Yazawa?

　The founder of NICONICONI!

　This "Nico Nico Nico" is a short phrase she used to coax Yazawa Nico!

　"If Nika becomes an idol, will Ms. Yazawa object to it?" Sanzenin Arashi observed Yazawa Mion's expression.

　He remembered. At the end of Love Live!, Mio Yazawa struck a Nico Nico pose in front of everyone, making Nico blush.

　That's right, this woman is the creator of that famous cute phrase!

　Moreover... this woman did something that made Sanzenin Arashi feel ashamed.

　Mio Yazawa passed on the Niconico technique to her four younger family members!

　The whole family knows this pose.

　"Of course I won't object. My biggest wish is for the whole world to know how cute my little Rihka is."

　As Yazawa Mion spoke, the elevator doors opened.

　Saint Sun Elementary School had already ended classes several tens of minutes ago. Sanzenin Arashi and Yazawa Mion chatted for a while. When they arrived at the waiting room, they found Kafuu Chino being taught a pose.

　Yazawa Hima is teaching Kafuu Chino how to properly pose a NICONICONI.

　The little girl with black hair and red eyes said in a soft, sweet voice, "Place your left hand on the left side of your head, and then place your right hand on the right side of your head."

　The young girl's way of expressing herself was awkward, but it had an indescribable cuteness.

　Chino, seemingly understanding but not quite, did as she was told, striking an adorable pose. Sanzenin Arashi, standing to the side, was completely charmed by her cuteness.

　"Now!" Yazawa Hinaka shouted in a childlike voice, straining her throat, "Shout it out!"

　Chino Kafuu: "NICONICONININI... Waaah..."

　She bit her tongue!

　Chino covered her mouth, squatted on the ground, her head trembling slightly.

　Sanzenin Arashi felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her; what on earth was all this...?

　Then something even more embarrassing happened.

　Yazawa Mion suddenly took two steps forward, and Yazawa Himeka also noticed her mother, so she ran over with a smile.

　Sanzenin Arashi saw that Yazawa Mion placed her left hand on the left side of her head and her right hand on the right side of her head.

　The mother and daughter simultaneously called out in a cute voice, "NICONICONI~!"

　'Holy crap...'

　This mother and daughter are so shameful it's unbearable to look at.

　At this moment, Chino also stood up and struck a pose facing her deskmate's seat.

　“NICONICONI!!”

　She was smiling when she saw Sanzenin Arashi.

　The young girl froze on the spot.

　"Please don't look this way, Uncle Lan."

　Chino hurriedly straightened up, but one of her little feet seemed to trip her, and she fell to the ground with a thud.

　She clearly fell and hurt a lot, but she panicked and tried to get up. The foot that had tripped was right under the chair next to her, and as she stood up, her knee hit the chair.

　"Ah wu..."

　A cute little girl's cry rang out, and Chino fell to the ground again.

　Xiao Zhi persisted, supporting herself on her two small arms as she tried to stand up.

　She seemed completely unaware that one of her feet was stuck under the chair before she fell to the ground.

　'A flat-ground fall with a triple kick...'

　Sanzenin Arashi felt his worldview being challenged. He walked up to Chino, grabbed her under the armpits, and lifted her up.

　Xiao Zhi then lifted it high.

　"Please don't do this, Uncle Lan..."

　Yazawa Himeko ran cheerfully to Sanzenin Arashi's side, "Thank you, Uncle!"

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled at her.

　The little girl still remembered who saved her last time; it was a pair of warm and strong hands in the darkness.

　Arashi Sanzenin recalled the scene: when Kohika suffered from food poisoning, he used his knee to press against her stomach and, following international practice, performed CPR to help her breathe smoothly.

　Cardiac resuscitation, also known as CPR, involves pressing on the chest 45 times.

　Yazawa Mion treated everyone to dinner at a family restaurant next door. She ordered two children's meals for the two kids, while Sanzenin Arashi ordered a mashed potato dish with cheese and a Coke. They sat there and ate.

　There were many parents around eating with their children who had just finished school.

　Office workers are already tired after a long day and are too lazy to cook dinner. Besides, family restaurants are inexpensive and almost always packed.

　Seeing that the atmosphere was fairly good, Sanzenin Arashi asked, "I wonder if Ms. Yazawa could give me a definite answer to a question?"

　He is cautious.

　"Please ask, Mr. Aoyama, but please forgive me for not being able to grant any requests you may have."

　Looking at the rational Mrs. Yazawa, Sanzenin Arashi nodded: "Before that, please take a look at my business card, Miss Yazawa."

　Yazawa Mion took the business card and immediately frowned.

　It says on it: Chairman of NICONICO Co., Ltd.: Arashi Aoyama.

　"I didn't know Mr. Aoyama was such an amazing person. How rude of me."

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and then asked, "I'd like to have Hinata and Chino form an idol group. What do you think, Ms. Yazawa?"

　..

230. Yazawa Nico's Doubts

　"Sure, Mr. Aoyama was my daughter's savior, so I'm quite at ease entrusting her to you."

　It's clear from Arashi Sanzenin that Mio Yazawa doesn't object to her daughter becoming an idol.

　On the contrary, some people agreed.

　“Then let’s agree on it verbally for now, but a contract is still necessary. I’ll have my staff draft one and send it to Ms. Yazawa for review.” Sanzenin Arashi said with a smile, “From now on, Nika is an official idol.”

　Mrs. Yazawa's face was full of happy smiles.

　And so the project on young girls began.

　When Yazawa Nico got home from school, dinner was usually already prepared at home because elementary school students got out of school earlier than her, a high school student. But today, she found that her mother and younger sister had just returned.

　Yazawa Hinata skipped and hopped to the entrance, then, seeing her older sister, called out cutely, "NICONICONI!~"

　"Uh..." Yazawa Nico took a step back. "What's wrong?"

　She is in a very bad mood right now.

　During the day, all the senior members of the school's idol club quit.

　Two seniors who will be entering their final year of high school next year have left the club without any activities due to their studies.

　Several other students in their second year of high school also quit because the club's activities were too tiring.

　Nico Yazawa is the only one left in the idol club. Fortunately, the holidays are coming up soon, so we can try to recruit a few more people and try again to make our idol debut!

　Nico Yazawa was unusually exhausted, both physically and mentally, and had no energy left to act cute.

　However, she believed she could maintain her authority as an older sister while remaining smug in front of her younger sister, so she said, "Nika, come here for a second~"

　This younger sister has always been her older sister's shadow since she was little.

　"Oh, Nicole, is there something you need?"

　"Oh right, my sister is planning to attend an event next week, shall we go together?"

　Normally, Yazawa Hima would have happily accepted the invitation, but now she looked hesitant.

　Young girls don't have much control over their facial muscles, and their faces practically scream "I'm in trouble."

　This made Yazawa Nico a little jealous. What exactly happened to her younger sister? This reaction was very unusual.

　"Were you bullied at school, Hinata?" Yazawa Nico asked, still concerned about her younger sister.

　Yazawa Hima innocently said, "I wasn't bullied. I just had something to do this Sunday, so I couldn't play with my sister."

　"Huh?" Yazawa Nico scratched her chin, thought for a moment, "Hika, what's wrong? Can you tell your sister?"

　"Hmm..." Yazawa Hima pouted, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.

　"This..." Yazawa Nico frowned. This was really strange. Her younger sister usually told her everything, so why was this happening...?

　Nicole felt her authority as the older sister was being challenged.

　"Mom said we can't talk about this casually, it will cause trouble!" Yazawa Hima shook her head like a rattle-drum.

　"Hika."

　"Yes, sister."

　"Is there anything more important than us becoming idols?"

　"..."

　"Never mind..." Seeing that her younger sister was silent, Yazawa Ni changed her approach: "I'll ask Mom."

　"Nicole, come help mop the floor!" Mio Yazawa's voice came from over the street.

　"Yes, Mom."

　Mrs. Yazawa handed the mop to her daughter and then placed a bucket of water beside her.

　After finishing all that, Yazawa Mio stretched and suddenly said, "Nicole, you have to work harder too, don't let your little sister surpass you."

　"Here we go again... What on earth happened?" Yazawa Nico couldn't help but ask, "Since just now, both Hinata and Mom have been acting strangely, like they're hiding something from me?"

　It's like everyone else knows, and I'm the only one who doesn't.

　Nico Yazawa was extremely jealous.
