A super great writer in the second dimension

　"Tsk, are you trying to die?" Little Lily glared at him.

　She playfully pushed away Sanzenin Arashi's hand, then tossed the sushi box into his hand, "To prevent you from doing anything else..."

　Just as she said that, Sanzenin Arashi touched her little bottom again.

　Seeing that Sayuri was about to explode, Sanzenin Arashi simply took the sushi box.

　"Really... don't start touching me right away."

　Sayuri's blushing face reminds one of the tsundere Eriri.

　As the two entered the Sawamura family home, Sanzenin Arashi saw Eriri, dressed in sportswear, sitting on the sofa with her two adorable big eyes fixed on the picture book in front of her. Moreover, she was sitting in a "duck sit," a posture that only girls could do, with her two slender legs spread apart on both sides, looking incredibly cute.

　"Eri, get ready to eat."

　“Yes, Mom.” Eriri was replying to Sayuri, but when she saw Arashi Sanzenin, she immediately stood up.

　"Hey, do me a favor!"

　“Okay.” Sanzenin Arashi shrugged and walked over.

　It was only then that he noticed what Eriri Sawamura had drawn in her picture book.

　"Oh, you're participating in NIOCNICO's mascot design contest?" Sanzenin Arashi glanced over.

　"That's right!"

　"For that 20 million reward?"

　"No!"

　……

　Sayuri pulled Sanzenin Arashi aside and whispered in his ear, "Eriri wanted to convince you, so she decided to participate in this event. However... because the reward was so high, basically all the major commercial doujin circles participated in designing the Nico Nico Douga mascot. And look at the result."

　Arashi Sanzenin turned to look at Eriri and immediately understood.

　"She can't handle it? Then I won't help. I've never opened any back doors or anything like that."

　……

　"What are you two doing..." Eriri glanced at Sanzenin Arashi, picked up the picture book in front of her, and asked, "What do you think of this?"

　The 8-page picture book depicts a girl wearing headphones shaped like the NIOCNICO TV mascot. The girl's blue hair is tied into pigtails and swept to the sides, and her slightly open emerald green eyes seem to be savoring something. Her tight-fitting bodysuit, full of technological flair, is practically a body painting.

　'This... Hatsune Miku?'

　Sanzenin Arashi was stunned. The girl in the picture book looked exactly like a certain world's number one princess.

　He quickly banished the idea from his mind. It did resemble Hatsune Miku, but there were many things that were not right.

　"How is it?" Eriri asked tentatively.

　Sanzenin Arashi stroked his chin. "It's alright. I can give it a try. I can't judge the quality of an original character just by looking at them."

　This ambiguous answer made Eriri frown.

　Urged on by Sayuri, the three of them quickly sat down at the dining table.

　The sushi box was placed on the table with the logo of the famous sushi restaurant, Kurahashi, on it. Upon opening it, I found at least two hundred pieces of sushi, from mentaiko to vegetable rolls, including scallop sushi, tuna sushi, abalone sushi, and more. The delicious sea urchin was wrapped in nori, making my mouth water.

　Arashi Sanzenin ate a few pieces before putting down his chopsticks. Although he enjoyed this kind of food, he never ate too much, no matter how delicious it was—it was a long-standing habit of his. He was self-disciplined and knew when to stop.

　Eriri really enjoyed this kind of food, chewing on the rice and fish with relish.

　"Yes, Lan-jun, you wanted to see me about something, right?" Xiaobaihe said directly. "I don't do things that are too troublesome."

　Eriri chewed her rice, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them.

　"I'd like to contact a large doujin circle. I have a project I'd like to outsource, but preferably a commercial one. I don't want to hand over a project to a bunch of guys who're just joking around and having fun. Do you have anyone in your circle, Sayuri?"

　Sanzenin Arashi picked up the barley tea and took a sip.

　Sawamura Sayuri sighed, "Arashi-kun already said it's a doujin circle, so it's only natural that doujin circles aren't formal, right? No matter how commercialized it becomes, a doujin circle is still a doujin circle. Arashi-kun's standards are so high, I'm afraid only that person's [RougeEnRouge] can meet them."

　"Oh?" Sanzenin Arashi raised an eyebrow.

　"That's a rather strange commercialized fan community. The members' skills are enough to go professional, but they've always kept their activities focused on fan works, maintaining their popularity by creating high-quality fan art. Is Lan-kun interested in this community?" Xiaobaihe glanced over.

　She said meaningfully, "Moreover, I've met the founder of this organization once before. If you can provide enough compensation, I can call their top leader over this afternoon."

　“No problem. As long as it’s not an organization affiliated with the industry and can meet my needs, I’m willing to pay a substantial amount.”

　As the two were talking, Sayuri took out her business card.

　The name "Akane Akane" is written on it, and the club name "RougeEnRouge" is also marked next to it.

　..

291. Preliminary elections concluded.

　【RougeEnRouge】is a very powerful team with substantial capital. Providing a GAL game that normally sells for 9800 yen would not be a problem.

　As we all know, the maximum price for a doujin circle's visual novel is 6600 yen. This involves things like selling capital. From this point of view alone, [RougeEnRouge] is a doujin circle whose financial resources are in no way inferior to those of a regular game company.

　Sawamura Sayuri meticulously explained the history of the club from its inception to the present. 【RougeEnRouge】 could be said to have been entirely supported by Akane Kousaka. From the beginning, Akane Kousaka has been a genius girl. Her creative talent is in no way inferior to that of top-tier bestselling authors. Her stories are refreshing, and she can come up with ingenious ideas for every project.

　Sanzenin Arashi heard this and wanted to recruit this person into her ranks.

　Unfortunately, her talents have not yet been revealed to her.

　After lunch, Sanzenin Arashi showed the framework of Osu to Sayuri, and the housewife immediately rejected her previous suggestion.

　She believes it's necessary to find a reputable production company because the amount of editing required is too large and not suitable for a fan community.

　However, at Sanzenin Arashi's insistence, Sayuri contacted Akane Kousaka. After exchanging a few words, Akane asked Sanzenin Arashi to take the call.

　"I am Aoyama Arashi, the administrator of Nico Nico Douga. Would Ms. Akane Akasaka be willing to come and discuss some business matters?"

　"Regarding this, Mr. Aoyama, I'm not currently in charge of the organization. You can go talk to the Second Generation Leader. Right now, I just want to quietly do what I want to do. So..."

　“Oh, wait a minute, the surname Akasaka sounds familiar.” Sanzenin Arashi thought for a moment and then said, “The branch family of Miryū?”

　"Mr. Aoyama knows a lot, but you're looking for a doujinshi circle, so contacting me won't help. Well then, I'll send you the contact information of the current person in charge. Consider it a little help from me, a retired person, to my former students."

　With a click, Akane Akasaka hung up the phone.

　Sanzenin Arashi stared blankly at her phone screen. Akane Akasaka had no intention of talking to her and had given her the cold shoulder right from the start.

　Sawamura Sayuri shrugged. "There's nothing we can do about it. Arashi-kun doesn't know her, and besides, Ms. Akesaka doesn't trust anyone around her."

　She had been wronged by her publishing house in the past, so since then, she has refused any investment opportunities offered to her without hesitation, except for those she needs herself.

　As she spoke, Sayuri pulled out a photo from her phone.

　Two pretty girls were drinking. She pointed to one of them and said, "This is Akane Akasaka. Isn't she pretty? She looks like a rich girl from somewhere."

　Sanzenin Arashi whistled; she was indeed a very beautiful woman.

　With her flowing reddish-black hair, wine-red eyes, and well-developed figure, especially her face, she possessed the older sister aura that Sanzenin Arashi admired. She was an exceptionally beautiful person, and she exuded an inexplicable confidence from head to toe. This strong, independent older sister, like Kasumigaoka Utaha, possessed an alluring charm.

　"You said she was framed?" Sanzenin Arashi said, immediately imagining the worst possible scenario.

　Threatening to have her work adapted into an anime, the middle-aged sponsor locked this beautiful female author in a room and subjected her to inhumane treatment...

　"What are you thinking about, Arashi-kun..." Sayuri playfully patted Arashi Sanzenin's arm. "Her novels used to sell just as well as Sword Art Online. Just three volumes sold a million copies. Sword Art Online is about the same, right?"

　Sanzenin Arashi straightened her expression and said, "So you're saying she was framed?"

　"That's right. With the novel selling so well, a sponsor decided to adapt it into an anime. However, because the sponsor lacked funds and the publisher was also short of money, they were very eager to finalize the deal, which led to..."

　Sanzenin Arashi laughed, "So the production is so rough, like dog shit, it's broken from beginning to end, you can't even be sure if the character in this frame is the same person as the one in the next frame, and then it's a complete disaster, right?"

　The anime adaptation was originally intended to greatly boost the popularity of the original work, but the production was a disaster and turned out to be garbage, leading people who hadn't read the original work to think that the original work was also garbage.

　Then the market potential that the original work hadn't yet tapped into would—explode instantly.

　Sawamura Sayuri seemed startled by Sanzenin Arashi's description, and she took a step back.

　"I'm sorry, I lost my composure a bit." Sanzenin Arashi straightened her collar, perhaps because of the strong sense of immersion, a feeling of righteous indignation welled up in her heart.

　He locked the door from the inside, pulled Sayuri into his arms, and sat down on the sofa. Eriri had already gone back to her room, so now it was just the two of them.

　Just then, Xiaobaihe's phone vibrated.

　"Currently, the person in charge of [RougeEnRouge] is a student named Iori Hashima. Would you like to contact him, Arashi-kun?" Sayuri Sawamura asked, looking up.

　“A student… let me think about it. No need. Let him come to my studio to talk.” Sanzenin Arashi said, “I’m still more interested in Kousaka Akane.”

　Sawamura Sayuri narrowed her eyes. "Ashi-kun, are you interested in my body?"

　In her experience, people like Sanzenin Arashi never had a normal private life before they reached old age.

　She was used to it by now.

　Just then, a sudden electric shock-like sensation shot through Xiaobaihe's body. The beautiful wife let out a soft cry and was lifted up by the man beneath her, beginning a relentless assault.

　"Uh, uh, I was wrong..."

　……

　It was night time.

　The first LoveLive auditions finally came to an end, and Nishikawa nodded in satisfaction at the group of high school girls in front of him.

　These girls are all Cneters from their respective teams, and there are twenty-six of them standing together.

　"You have all passed the LoveLive selection and will soon be stepping onto the television stage," said Nishikawa.

　A cheer erupted in front of us.

　Nishikawa continued, "All teams that pass will receive at least one performance opportunity. We will broadcast the performance live on Tokyo Variety after the New Year. From this moment on, you are all enemies."

　"I hereby announce that the teams that make it to the final four will receive a contract personally drafted by President Aoyama. That's right, the final four. Once a team makes it to the final four, our company will be responsible for packaging, promotion, and other related services. Professional agents will also be provided. We have already reached an agreement with them!"

　..

292, idolmasterproject

　Osu's outsourced project was handed over to his deputy, Yukinoshita Haruno.

　Many future projects will be like this: he will set the basic tone himself, and the specific execution will be left to his subordinates. It is impossible for him to do everything personally, as there is simply not enough time. Only the most important things will be followed up by Sanzenin Arashi.

　He was sitting in his office at that moment, checking the final promotional posters for School Idol.

　As planned, this poster can feature four people, and four idols can be featured on this powerful promotional page that will soon be posted across half of Tokyo.

　First up are Chino Kafuu and Hinata Yazawa.

　Their stage names will be the rhyming names "Cocoa" and "Cocoro," which are also quite cute.

　Then there's Kira Tsubasa, this girl...

　'If I really eat her, would it be a reassurance?' As Sanzenin Arashi was thinking about this, her phone rang.

　Upon seeing the name Chu Yunye, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he answered the phone.

　"Mr. Izumo, what have you thought about what I mentioned before?"

　"Yes, President Aoyama, I'd like to find a place to talk privately."

　"Come to NNV Studio, I'll be waiting for you in the office."

　……

　After Izumo Yoru hung up the phone, his palms were sweating.

　For a planner who came from humble beginnings, achieving this level in the industry is already quite impressive. Although he's now a top-tier planner, to put it bluntly, he's just an employee, earning a fixed salary and relying on commissions from idol profits for his livelihood.

　Without any capital or backing, relying entirely on personal ability, he has done quite well.

　But in the eyes of the real big shots, it's just a joke.

　He wanted to seize this opportunity to stand up completely.

　……

　"Young Master, Mr. Izumo is downstairs." SP reported Izumo Yoru's whereabouts over the phone.

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded, hung up the phone, and then printed out several text files from her computer.

　He was also a little surprised by Izumo Ye's previous attitude. This person was indeed talented and had a wide network of connections, but that was all. His so-called connections were just nodding acquaintances. They would come to add icing on the cake because he was doing well now.

　A moment later, the office door was opened.
