A super great writer in the second dimension

　Even so, those who like it might find it easier to accept.

　Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to vegetables and radishes.

　"Do you have an appointment, Master?"

　The maid, dressed in a modified maid outfit that revealed most of her legs and shoulders, smiled and asked, "Is this your first time here?"

　Looking at Sanzenin Arashi's face, the maid was clearly staring intently at his face. Although it was very impolite to do so, he understood.

　The maid was unusually enthusiastic; I wonder if other customers received the same treatment.

　Who can blame us for living in a world that judges by appearance?

　Sanzenin Arashi waved her hand. The cute maid was wearing white stockings and looked pure and lovely, but who knows what she looks like without makeup? There was no time to waste on them, so she directly gave over the number that the blogger had booked.

　If Sanzenin Arashi hadn't read the blogger's comments before, she definitely wouldn't have associated with this kind of person.

　Although he didn't mean to look down on others, he wouldn't choose a maid cafe when treating someone he was meeting for the first time.

　This is practically testing one's nerves, blogger.

　After taking her seat, Sanzenin Arashi refused all service and took out her phone to play.

　Many people in the store had special interests, and Sanzenin Arashi felt like an oddball sitting there.

　Moreover, his hair color was exceptionally eye-catching; it wasn't dyed golden hair, but naturally beautiful blonde hair. His demeanor and expressions drew the attention of many people to Sanzenin Arashi.

　Especially the waitresses in the coffee shop, all of whom were young girls, would stare at Sanzenin Arashi whenever they came in without work, and even start gossiping about whether he was some kind of celebrity...

　About ten minutes later.

　"Sorry to keep you waiting."

　A young, somewhat immature male voice rang out: "I am Aki Tomoya, nice to meet you."

　"You've arrived?" Sanzenin Arashi turned off her phone, stood up, and shook hands with him with a smile.

　After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sanzenin Arashi's doubts only grew stronger.

　This Aki Tomo is only fifteen years old, a year younger than him. His face is as tender as a novice. It's hard to imagine that he can maintain the updates of a blog with hundreds of thousands of followers all by himself. Don't underestimate him. He's a business entrepreneur who will soon be making a fortune.

　"Why a maid cafe?" Sanzenin Arashi asked.

　Although Aki Tomoya wears glasses, he is definitely not bad-looking. He is just a bit timid, which makes him very popular with older women.

　"Ah...does the stationmaster not like it? How rude of me..."

　Aki Tomoya, oblivious to the atmosphere, blurted out, "I thought you were like me, someone who stays home all day and never goes out, so I chose this place. Look, the atmosphere here is really relaxing, isn't it?"

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded.

　Turns out he really is a shut-in.

　Then there's nothing we can do.

　No matter how handsome a shut-in is, he'll never be popular with women because he has no interest in it. Staying at home and not going out isn't God... who can impregnate the Virgin Mary with a single shot from afar.

　He never talks to anyone, how could he possibly be popular with women...?

　Sanzenin Arashi, understanding the situation, casually ordered a few dishes, including omelet rice and sandwiches that she often eats abroad, before getting straight to the point.

　“You said you needed to talk to me before, so let’s just say it now. I’m only a year older than you, so just call me by my name.”

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and said, "Thank you so much for pinning this post; it's been a great help."

　"No, no..." Aki Tomoya quickly waved his hand: "If it weren't for Mr. Arashi's novel being so good, I would never have done such a thing. In this dirty industry, you have to rely on your strength to speak for yourself!"

　"I can't stand these light novels lately! What are those authors thinking?!"

　Sanzenin Arashi asked, feigning interest, "How so?"

　"The way they write characters is like treating them as commodities!" Aki Tomoya slammed his fist on the table in agitation. "A female character who was popular in the previous volume doesn't even appear in the next volume. What are they doing? Are they afraid that these characters will steal the popularity of new characters? This kind of petty attitude is just too stingy!"

　"Ah... I'm sorry..."

　Aki Tomoya suddenly shrank back: "I'm too excited..."

　Sanzenin Arashi's gaze was fixed on the doorway, because a woman who, in his opinion, was also... a top-tier beauty, had entered!

　Her beautiful, jet-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her long, slender legs, clad in black stockings, slowly approached.

　The girl then sat down, took out a laptop, and began typing.

　Sanzenin Arashi pursed her lips. People with such a literary and girlish charm are really attractive.

　"Mr. Lan, your novel is fantastic! Please allow me to continue promoting it in the future!"

　Aki Tomoya's words brought him back to reality.

　"Yes, this is a great help. As you can see, my website is just starting out, and I'm the only author. It's a very difficult situation. So, what suggestions do you have?"

　Just as Sanzenin Arashi said this, there was a sudden noise from the side.

　Then, the girl with long, straight black hair walked over and suddenly said, "You're Aki Tomoya from our school, right? I'm very interested in what you two are talking about. Can I join in?"

　Seeing this, Sanzenin Arashi was surprised that someone so famous at school would give up the seat next to her.

　"Please take a seat."

　"Thank you."

　Clearly, this girl is very interested in the topic of writing novels, so she couldn't wait to sit next to Sanzenin Arashi and see if she could get some help.

　"I am Kasumigaoka Utaha, a second-year student. Nice to meet you."

　..

32. Pei Pei speaks

　After introducing herself, Sanzenin Arashi's eyes lit up, and she seemed much more energetic.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha has an air of refinement that comes from being immersed in books; sitting next to her feels like being bathed in a gentle breeze.

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and said, "If you're also interested in this topic, why don't you share your opinion?"

　Aki Tomoya chimed in, "What style does senpai like?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha remained silent for a few seconds, then looked at Aki Tomoya with a smile. Seeing this, Sanzenin Arashi coughed and asked, "Miss Kasumigaoka's hobby is writing books, isn't it?"

　Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up. Had she been that obvious?

　"It seems I was right."

　Sanzenin Arashi said with great interest, "Let me guess again."

　"Please."

　The girl picked up the menu and ordered a cup of black tea.

　"A slice-of-life romance?" Sanzenin Arashi said, waving her hand to summon a maid.

　Upon hearing this, Aki Tomoya was somewhat surprised: "How is that possible... She's that Kasumigaoka-senpai, you know?"

　"Oh? What prejudice do you have against me, junior?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha shrugged: "Do I look like I'm destined to never be in love?"

　"Could it really be true?" Aki Tomoya was also completely astonished.

　Quiet, elegant, and a celebrity at school, how could Kasumigaoka Utaha possibly write romance novels...? No, no, no, the fact that she writes novels is already quite surprising.

　"Mr. Lan..."

　Aki Tomoya looked at Sanzenin Arashi: "How did you guess correctly?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha also looked over with great interest.

　“Because I was observing her.” Sanzenin Arashi tapped the table. “I’ve been observing her ever since she came in. Is that so strange? It’s really abrupt for someone like her to walk into a maid café.”

　Please don't change the subject.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned: "Can you tell me how you figured that out?"

　Aki Tomoya's eyes widened immediately.

　Yeah... This senior actually came to a maid cafe, the reason for your surprise is obviously wrong!

　"I want to know too..." Once he figured it out, Aki Tomo became incredibly curious.

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled mysteriously, "I only just confirmed it myself, that Kasumigaoka-san really does write slice-of-life romance stories."

　"Varied……"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't remain calm: "So, you were just saying that casually before?!"

　"This works too?!" Aki Tomoya adjusted his glasses. "As expected of the author of those two books by Nico Nico Douga, it seems I still have a lot to learn."

　"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Sanzenin Arashi with a blank expression: "Aki-kun... are you talking about NICO, Bakemonogatari and Battle Through the Heavens?"

　Although the girl was asking about Aki Tomoya, her gaze remained fixed on Sanzenin Arashi.

　"The blog website has been getting a lot of buzz lately, so I checked it out myself."

　Kasumigaoka Utaha asked, as if confirming, "Is what he said true?"

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded, not wanting to offend Aki Tomoya: "Of course, actually, this Aki Tomoya in front of me is a well-known blogger and commentator. I'm here to discuss the matter of recommendations with him."

　"His blog has 380,000 followers."

　"Oh dear..." Aki Tomoya scratched his head sheepishly, "It's not as amazing as Mr. Arashi said."

　Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips.

　Coming to this place to gather material today was definitely the right decision.

　The story aims to depict the protagonist encountering the female lead in this place, only to find himself unexpectedly rewarded upon entering a maid café for the first time in his life.

　But this bespectacled nerd on the other side is a real pain.

　What method can we use to get him away?

　I still want to ask some more technical questions... What method should I use?

　who knew...

　"Then please have a good talk with Mr. Lan, senior."

　Aki Tomoya suddenly stood up from his seat: "I'm in a rush to meet with Mr. Arashi today, and there's no walkthrough for the new game yet. I also have to update my blog later, so I'll be leaving now. Please let me recommend Mr. Arashi's books."

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded.

　He was just struggling with how to persuade Aki Tomoya to maintain his recommendation, but Kasumigaoka Utaha, who suddenly arrived, managed to solve the problem. It was truly an unexpected stroke of luck.

　I just complimented him casually, and I didn't expect him to agree so readily.

　Well done, Kasumigaoka Utaha.

　Can I ask you a few questions?

　After Aki Tomoya left his seat, Kasumigaoka Utaha sat opposite Sanzenin Arashi. The two sat facing each other, and the girl's demeanor suddenly changed.

　Sanzenin Arashi shrugged: "Judging from what just happened, you must have excellent grades at school, right?"

　"What do you want to say?" Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned.

　"nothing."

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and said, "You're very good at pretending in front of your junior, but you don't need to pretend in front of me?"

　"That's just my family's wish for me to become a top student."

　Kasumigaoka Utaha scoffed at this statement: "But you, being able to do something like that, and those illustrations that completely surpass professional levels..."

　"No need to be so polite."

　Sanzenin Arashi interrupted Kasumigaoka Utaha.

　"Eh?"

　"I mean, feel free to ask me any questions, and then show me your novel."

　Sanzenin Arashi looked directly at Kasumigaoka Utaha: "You know I'm a Nico Nico Douga author, right? So, given my current situation, I'm extremely eager for excellent writers, aren't I?"

　"Moreover, the threshold for beautiful women in this society will be lowered."

　Sanzenin Arashi spoke softly, and the girl fell silent upon hearing this.
