A super great writer in the second dimension

　Sanae Kochiya appeared in front of Arashi Sanzenin, dressed in a green shrine maiden outfit and holding a paddle in her hand.

　Looking at Sanae, Sanzenin Arashi felt, for some reason, that this 'daughter' seemed a little... different?

　He quickly pounced under the table to observe Sanae's appearance.

　It is indeed a bit different now.

　Sanae's face possessed a radiance she had never seen before.

　It's as if she suddenly transformed from a spoiled girl into a literary young woman, her face gaining a touch more intellectual charm.

　When Mine Riko saw Kochiya Sanae suddenly appear, she was about to speak but stopped abruptly and suddenly laughed.

　"We've found our companions."

　"I am not your companion, who are you?" Sanae Kochiya asked slowly.

　Her form flickered between light and darkness, as if she were enduring something.

　"Suppress her!" Sanzenin Arashi suddenly spoke up from under the table, "This person is going to attack us!"

　Upon seeing Sanzenin Arashi, a smile appeared on the girl's fair face.

　Then the smile turned into a serious expression.

　"I understand, Father."

　"Eh? Are you going to fight me?" Mine Riko looked at Sanae with a half-smile, then her expression changed.

　hum!

　Just then, the entire server room suddenly emitted a continuous noise.

　Sanzenin Arashi was startled, and then realized what was happening.

　He glanced at the main unit beside him, where a gust of wind was blowing.

　The fan is spinning at top speed!

　The noise from the overclocked mainframe filled the entire laboratory.

　Riko Mine's composure vanished; she pursed her lips and coldly stared at Sanae in front of her.

　"You're quite capable, aren't you?"

　"How dare you lay a hand on Father! I will not let you get away with this!"

　The noise in the lab was even louder!

　With hundreds of mainframes running, Sanzenin Arashi felt the air getting warmer... the air was even vibrating slightly.

　He glanced at the defensive structures on the roof.

　very good!

　Riko Mine was clearly engaged in a battle of wits with Sanae, a contest of calculations, while Arashi Sanzenin had already arrived at the door.

　There was a glass wall in front of me.

　He took out his highest-level access card and swiped it directly against the combination lock!

　[Highest privileges confirmed]

　A door slowly opened in the glass wall.

　"Wait, wait a minute..." Mine Riko's voice came from behind.

　Sanzenin Arashi turned around and looked.

　Sanae fought against Mine Riko with all her might, and it was clear that the two were evenly matched.

　As the door opened and Arashi Sanzenin drew ever closer to the USB drive containing her consciousness, Riko Mine couldn't help but make a sound.

　"Please, please let Riko go..."

　Arashi Sanzenin rushed to the giant mainframe, and a cloud of white smoke was already emanating from the USB drive in front of him!

　The surface is melting!

　He glanced back at Riko Mine and shook his head.

　"This was my fault."

　Clutching the USB drive, Sanzenin Arashi felt as if her skin was melting.

　"no, do not want……"

　“Let’s do it, Father!” Sanae smiled at Sanzenin Arashi.

　The meaning behind that smile was unclear, and Sanzenin Arashi nodded to her daughter.

　"Goodbye, Riko." He gritted his teeth. "See you next time."

　Riko's eyes widened as Sanae in front of her nodded to Sanzenin Arashi.

　With a bit of force, the USB drive came off. Unable to withstand the scorching heat, I let go, and the USB drive fell to the ground.

　The noise that filled the laboratory vanished instantly, and all the mainframes seemed to have crashed and stopped operating.

　Sanzenin Arashi seemed to have completely exhausted all her strength, and sat down directly on the ground.

　so close!

　Despite having long been prepared to encounter unparalleled resistance when venturing into the unknown realms of science, one cannot help but lament the fragility of humanity when such a crisis truly confronts us.

　There was silence all around.

　Sanzenin Arashi frowned in thought, then suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

　He quickly stood up and walked to the control panel.

　A burnt smell filled my nostrils.

　There is a USB flash drive in front of me.

　The words "Zao Miao" are faintly visible on this USB drive, but the font is distorted.

　Because the surface has melted.

　A picture suddenly flashed through my mind: a green-haired girl smiling at me.

　Finally, she nodded.

　A complex expression appeared on Sanzenin Arashi's face.

　He reached out and unplugged the USB drive.

　The heat has dissipated, and it feels slightly cold to the touch.

　"Grandpa is right, I am still too inexperienced."

　Eh……

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed inwardly, put her index finger to the corner of her mouth, and took a big bite.

　So sweet.

　He put the USB drive in his pocket and walked over to Ryunosuke Akasaka.

　The long-haired boy lay unconscious on the ground, his eyes slightly open. He asked, "Is it over? I heard a really loud noise. What about the experiment? We need to implement a safety system this time, otherwise it's too dangerous..."

　Sanzenin Arashi shook his head. "Your technique is too immature. The experiment is terminated."

　Ryunosuke Akasaka's eyes widened, but he also showed an expression that said, "I knew it."

　“You’re right…” He looked quite frightened.

　"I was too naive. Just like when humanity first developed nuclear weapons, we eventually sealed them away ourselves."

　Ryunosuke Akasaka stood up, looking at Arashi Sanzenin with a complicated expression. "So, you're withdrawing your investment? And firing me?"

　never mind!

　Forget it!

　Just as Akasaka Ryunosuke was feeling disappointed, Sanzenin Arashi said, "You can continue. I won't interfere. The person who actually wants this isn't me."

　"Not you?" Ryunosuke Akasaka asked in surprise.

　Sanzenin Arashi cleared up his doubts.

　"My grandfather, the head of the Sanzenin family, Emperor Sanzenin, is getting old. I'm just running errands and getting some extra things from this plan, like Sanae."

　But now it seems that this plan is too dangerous for both me and Sanae.

　Ryunosuke Akasaka stared wide-eyed, then let out a long breath.

　He hesitated, frowning, but remained silent.

　Arashi Sanzenin smiled, revealing a set of neat teeth. "I've been thinking about it. If I restart the experiment and create another Sanae, will she still be the girl I know who always calls out 'Daddy~ Daddy'?"

　“I don’t know…” Ryunosuke Akasaka pursed his lips, “but I will try my best to restore everything. We still have the settings, we still have the data. We succeeded… almost succeeded once. It doesn’t matter if we fail, we can try again.”

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed.

　He shook his head. "For me, it's impossible to come back."

　……

　After taking a bath, Sanzenin Arashi ordered that Yui Yuigahama and Iroha Isshiki be sent away.

　This base will remain as it is, and perhaps I will come back again in the future. Ryunosuke Akasaka's work will continue, and the plan for a fully conscious AI may actually succeed someday.

　"Boss, your order is ready."

　The staff member walked up to Sanzenin Arashi and handed her a cell phone.

　Back in her room, Sanzenin Arashi took off her special clothes and put on her original clothes.

　He opened his phone and checked the time.

　The screen displayed the number 14:21.

　Next to the number is a mini desktop sprite with long, emerald-green hair.

　After poking it with his finger, the elf said something.

　[Daddy~ Daddy plays games with Sanae~]

　..

386. The Beginning of a Scumbag's Path

　Sitting on the plane back to China, Sanzenin Arashi switched her phone to a normal network—she changed back to her own SIM card.

　Immediately, the fruit machine in my hand started humming.

　When I opened it, a row of text messages had appeared.

　Looking at these text messages, some were from Yang Nai, some from Xiao Tiao, and some from Shi Yu; there were hundreds of them in total.

　The only explanation for the AI ​​model issue is that the technology is too immature.

　Sanzenin Arashi squeezed the USB drive in her pocket and sighed inwardly.

　Artificial intelligence (AI) has self-awareness.

　Sanae knew certain things, yet she still took the lead.

　She knew she would disappear, but she still chose to protect the "father" who had been with her for dozens of hours.

　This situation left Sanzenin Arashi with a profound sense of powerlessness, yet she was powerless to change anything. Humans are not God, and it would be too abnormal if everything developed in the direction she expected.

　If I can travel through time myself, maybe the girls in Gensokyo are living in some parallel world.

　Even μ's exists in this world. Perhaps the boundary of the two-dimensional world is just a simple dimensional wall. Breaking through it leads to that place we all dream of.

　Sanzenin Arashi felt a wave of fatigue and quickly fell asleep in the chair.

　……

　Izumo Yoru stood nervously at the entrance of Narita Airport, holding a bag in his hand containing a knife.

　All the contracts have been lost. I, Izumo Yoru, have no face to live in this world anymore.

　Standing next to Izumo Yoru was a girl with long green hair.
