A super great writer in the second dimension

　Because of the large movement, Kasumigaoka Utaha lost her balance and tripped, half-crouching on the ground.

　At this moment, several of the other party's companions also gathered around.

　The thug holding the knife licked his lips, strode forward, and then grabbed the man's neck with one hand.

　Sanzenin Arashi stood silently behind him. At 1.85 meters tall, her head only reached his shoulder. She grabbed his neck, lifted him up, and tossed him aside.

　In Japan, Sanzenin Arashi is like a small giant; his mere presence exudes an aura of power, especially at night when visibility is obstructed, making him appear like a fierce and imposing man—because he is practically invisible.

　The remaining few, seeing this, realized something was wrong and ran away.

　Sanzenin Arashi shook his head. These people weren't even qualified to be his opponents. Then... a cold wind suddenly swept in, accompanied by a pleasant fragrance.

　Sanzenin Arashi was stunned for a moment, then looked ahead and saw Kasumigaoka Utaha rushing towards him with slightly tearful eyes.

　Is this an expression of gratitude towards me?

　Then he sensed something was wrong.

　The girl's gaze was downward, and she couldn't see him at all.

　The large object in his hand had already begun to crackle with electricity.

　Immediately afterward, the tip of the anti-wolf device pierced Sanzenin Arashi's neck. A surge of electric current swept through him, causing a sharp, intense pain all over his body. His muscles went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

　"It's you?!"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha was incredibly surprised. When she saw the delinquent lying on the ground beside her, she immediately understood.

　"Sorry……"

　The girl, holding onto Sanzenin Arashi's shoulder, said, "I didn't even notice..."

　An alarm blared nearby, and the girl immediately gritted her teeth.

　With the modified anti-wolf device at maximum output, it could even stun a cow. Looking at the boy who had fainted in her arms, Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed.

　ten minutes later.

　With difficulty, carrying a man a head taller than herself on her back, Kasumigaoka Utaha stood at her front door.

　"We absolutely cannot be discovered..."

　Thinking of her parents, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little flustered.

　Carrying a man home in the middle of the night? Something's definitely wrong here!

　..

35. If I stop updating, it's all your fault no matter how you look at it!

　"What am I doing...?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha sat in front of her computer in her bedroom and turned her head to look to the side.

　At 10 p.m., a man I met for the first time today was lying in my sleeping spot. His handsome face was comparable to that of a top idol.

　Holding Sanzenin Arashi's ID card in her hand—Aoyama Arashi, 16 years old.

　It's the same age as me!

　Kasumigaoka Utaha thought this guy was a recent college graduate pursuing his dreams, which was why he created that kind of free website... It's unbelievable! This annoying popular novelist, who has such amazing books, gives them away for free... Is he looking down on people like me? You bastard!

　They must be looking down on someone like me who keeps striving to write an ordinary novel!

　"Nothing, no thought..."

　Kasumigaoka Utaha rubbed her hair in frustration, and then a voice rang out.

　"Shiyu, midnight snack."

　"Got it, Mom."

　Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head—let's just wait until he wakes up. Anyway, nothing serious happened, and the popular author won't be angry about it, right?

　I've been staying up all night a lot lately.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha was lost in thought, pondering all sorts of random things to distract herself, because the man beside her was indeed impossible to ignore.

　He brought out the late-night snack his mother had prepared from the kitchen—a few sandwiches and a cup of hot cocoa—and then sat on the edge of the bed, pinching Sanzenin Arashi's cheek.

　"Hmm... it still doesn't work."

　Thinking back to her actions at home just now, which felt like she was doing something like a thief, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt somewhat lost.

　"What on earth happened today...?"

　The girl covered her face and cried out in anguish.

　Then she pinched Sanzenin Arashi's cheek.

　This face is less handsome and more...

　Yep.

　So cute!

　A slight childlike quality lingers on it, but it's by no means immature; it has an indescribable flavor.

　Ok……

　I would never admit that I felt grateful because I was saved.

　They will definitely not admit it!

　"Well……"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha rubbed her hair: "It's okay to play around a little bit, right? That's right, he's asleep anyway, that's it."

　Pinch Sanzenin Arashi's face.

　It has a very soft feel.

　Squeeze again.

　I can't stop...

　"Ah, why is this face so soft?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha used both hands, pinching and kneading from top to bottom, continuing to pinch and knead.

　"Damn it...it's clearly a boy..."

　Perhaps because of what happened before, the girl had lost her vigilance.

　As a person, I am grateful to this guy in front of me and am willing to call him a friend.

　"This is infuriating..."

　The girl picked up a sandwich and stuffed it into her mouth. After chewing, she squinted her eyes, her mood improved, and the food tasted even better.

　all in all……

　Keep squeezing!

　Let Lady Kasumigaoka Utaha punish this person! How could she have such a cute face? You bastard, public enemy of women, accept your punishment!

　Suddenly...

　"ah……"

　A hand grabbed the girl's arm and lifted her up. Sanzenin Arashi covered her head with one hand; her brain was still throbbing. Damn it, POI!

　Then he frowned.

　"Are you OK?"

　Hearing the girl's slightly cute moan, Sanzenin Arashi thought something bad had happened.

　So he quickly asked, "Have you taken care of the guys from before?"

　"Well, well..." Kasumigaoka Utaha blushed for a moment, then withdrew her hand: "Nothing can stump me, popular author."

　That's not how it works.

　Sanzenin Arashi shook his head: "If the police don't catch them, you'd better be careful starting tomorrow."

　Judging from the shrewdness of these young people, they're definitely after revenge. Wasn't what happened between Kasumigaoka Utaha and them tonight a big deal? Aren't they afraid of retaliation for drawing blood and using knives?

　"You mean those people will come looking for me again?"

　The girl frowned: "Although I don't want to overestimate them..."

　"you are wrong."

　Sanzenin Arashi said seriously, "If it were me, and someone slapped me, I would definitely try to hit them back. These night owls commit all sorts of crimes, they just haven't been caught yet. Do you think a normal person would carry a knife on their person?"

　"Secondly, they really did attack you. Although your arm injury has been treated, you shouldn't forget the pain. Be careful."

　After Sanzenin Arashi finished speaking, he slumped behind him.

　He felt like he was falling apart...

　Kasumigaoka Utaha, what's the voltage of your anti-wolf device?

　“Twice as tall as the Nesser Gun,” the girl said with a smile.

　Damn it...

　Sanzenin Arashi wanted to swear.

　The Nesser Gun is something that instantly incapacitates people, and your voltage is twice as high...?

　No wonder I was dizzy for so long!

　Suddenly remembering something, Sanzenin Arashi immediately asked, "What time is it now?"

　"A quarter past ten." The girl took out her phone.

　“…” Sanzenin Arashi remained silent for a long time before suddenly jumping off the bed.

　"Can I borrow your computer?"

　"Power-on password." Sanzenin Arashi quickly looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

　The girl was startled and immediately blurted out the password.

　Damn it, you're going to pay for the hiatus, Kasumigaoka Utaha! This isn't over!

　..

36. Who will bear the burden of this world?

　Sanzenin Arashi has no intention of taking a break from updating!

　I don't want to do it even once!

　This is a matter of integrity, and we cannot let any reader feel disheartened.

　If people criticize me in the future: "Sanzenin, you old thief, you stopped updating because you went to play mahjong."

　What should we do if something like this happens?

　Sanzenin Arashi opened Nico Nico Douga and glanced at the book review section. Sure enough, it was already filled with complaints.

　What's the site administrator up to today? Please update!

　[Hey upstairs, it's not even midnight yet, what's the rush? Maybe the site admin finished writing and is drawing illustrations now, planning to post them all at exactly midnight?]

　[No, I can't fall asleep until I see an update of Battle Through the Heavens. I have to go to work tomorrow. I need a break!]

　Sanzenin Arashi practically covered her face in embarrassment.

　The plot of Battle Through the Heavens is so close to the moment the protagonist says "Don't underestimate a young man's potential" that it will definitely leave readers wanting more.

　[While many may find the plot of "Battle Through the Heavens" laughable, a truly good novel may not have the most exciting or unbearable content, it will definitely leave a lasting impression.]

　[The person upstairs is being silly; the story hasn't been updated either.]

　Sanzenin Arashi closed the book review section, quickly opened her writing software, and wrote a single chapter.

　—The author also wanted to update, but forgot to pay the electricity bill at home. The power just came back on, and I'll try to deliver the update before midnight. I'm quite poor, so I'm also working part-time. There's really no other way…

　Kasumigaoka Utaha stared wide-eyed at Sanzenin Arashi as she typed out a single character on the spot.
