A super great writer in the second dimension

　"Don't keep calling my name, it's so embarrassing!!"

　"Huh? Alice, don't you like this?"

　"Isn't that obvious? Speak normally!!!"

　"But... Dad keeps saying that Sanae is very cute..."

　Alice covered her forehead and sighed. What father? He's your creator, okay?

　After a period of communication, Alice finally understood what Sanae really was—she was an AI…that might sound too sophisticated.

　While she wasn't as powerful as depicted in science fiction novels and movies, capable of easily controlling a country's network, Sanae was indeed very strong in the field of computers!

　This is beyond doubt...

　To put it simply, AI can exert its absolute power within a specific context.

　On this laptop, Sanae can use all kinds of software with incredible skill, surpassing even the world's best technicians.

　However, she cannot leave the notebook at will, nor can she interfere with the workings of the outside world.

　Like a caged bird.

　Alice sighed, opened the Nico Nico Douga page, logged into the backend, and looked at her own videos.

　"Okay, so high..."

　Clicks: 12188

　Watch online: 89!

　This is my first time posting a video, so what's going on with this number of views?!

　As the girl looked on in confusion, Sanae spoke up.

　"While Alice was sleeping, Sanae copied and shared the address a little bit~" Sanae pouted, looking like she was about to praise me.

　“You…” Alice couldn’t help but feel a stirring in her heart.

　"By the way, Alice, it's already six o'clock. Aren't you going to check Twitter?"

　Before Alice could think much of it, Sanae started urging her on.

　Oh, and Twitter!

　The girl quickly opened the Twitter page and couldn't help but stare in disbelief.

　[The Twitter user is so cute!!!]

　[This dance is interesting. Is the background music Girls? The poster dances very well!]

　I've decided to swore in Alice!

　[Could you post a couple of casual photos? Seriously, is this really the Twitter user in the profile picture? They look like a top idol, so cute! I need photos, proof!]

　Looking forward to more videos from this Twitter user, but is this really okay? Every video I open on Nico Nico Douga has this user promoting it!

　[They must have hired online trolls; after all, they're idols!]

　Was it done by the firm?

　Looking at Sanae, Alice felt something melt inside her.

　Sanae Tokugawa finished her dance practice at six o'clock, walked to the door, and looked at the storage compartment.

　Suddenly his eyes widened, and he looked somewhat flustered.

　My own bag...

　Gone!!!

　..

391. Tell me, where is my daughter?

　[I'm Alice, and I aspire to be an online idol. Please be kind to me. This is my first video...]

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at this sentence with some strangeness.

　Am I destined to become an internet idol, Alice?

　Haha, that's hilarious! Is this the land of Eastern idols?

　The mouse hovered over the video link, but before Sanzenin Arashi could click, there was a knock on the door.

　Immediately afterward, before Sanzenin Arashi could even agree, the office door was opened.

　Sanae Tokugawa walked in nervously and stood in front of Arashi Sanzenin, anxiously saying, "Mr. Aoyama, my bag is missing!"

　'I know.'

　Sanzenin Arashi's expression, however, was very serious.

　'Because I'm the one who stole it.'

　"How could something like this happen in my company?"

　Sanzenin Arashi quickly stood up, looking at the girl with considerable surprise: "Your bag is missing? Someone stole your bag at the company?!"

　"Yes, Mr. Aoyama, what should we do?!" Tokugawa Sanae was somewhat incoherent.

　"This is outrageous!" Sanzenin Arashi slammed his hand on the table. "How could something like this happen? We must find the culprit!"

　"Thank you, Mr. Aoyama!"

　Tokugawa Sanae breathed a sigh of relief, and Sanzenin Arashi, seeing this, immediately asked, "So, is there anything important in the bag?"

　“Yes, something very important is in there, my laptop…” Tokugawa Sanae said anxiously, “You have to find it, my bag…”

　Sanzenin Arashi walked up to the anxious Tokugawa Sanae, grasped the girl's soft shoulders, and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Sanae, we'll find your bag. Now you should calm down."

　“But…” Sanae said anxiously.

　Sanzenin Arashi gave her a firm look and said, "The most important thing right now is to stay calm, and then listen to what I have to say. Think back carefully, whether you have carried your bag with you since you entered the company this afternoon, and whether you have put it somewhere."

　"I understand!" Tokugawa Sanae nodded firmly and sat down.

　"Here you go." Sanzenin Arashi took a piece of paper out of the drawer and handed it over. "Write it on here, then show it to me."

　Sanzenin Arashi sat calmly in her chair, watching Tokugawa Sanae write.

　Was it stolen?

　I can't tell you the truth.

　"I'm done writing!" About five minutes later, Tokugawa Sanae handed over the pen. "Mr. Aoyama, that's all!"

　After taking the paper, Sanzenin Arashi pretended to scan it before putting it down.

　Tokugawa Sanae looked over expectantly. "How is it? Any clues?"

　Sanzenin Arashi shook her head helplessly. "Based on your description, I used the method of reduction to deduce that there is only one result left."

　Sanae Tokugawa swallowed hard, looking extremely nervous.

　“Sanae, your bag is missing. It’s very likely that it was stolen. We should check the security camera footage.” Sanzenin Arashi shrugged and said helplessly, “There’s no other possibility.”

　monitor?

　The girl was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed.

　"Please make sure Mr. Aoyama confirms this!"

　“No problem.” Sanzenin Arashi turned on her computer and opened the monitoring software. “Look… wait a minute?”

　Sanae Tokugawa looked at the screen and was immediately stunned.

　The entire surveillance camera was completely black.

　"This, this is?!" The girl's eyes widened in disbelief.

　Sanzenin Arashi touched her forehead. "It seems the culprit came prepared. This is troublesome. Shall we call the police?"

　"Then..."

　At first, Tokugawa Sanae was about to nod, but she immediately stopped.

　Call the police?

　So... what about AI?

　Would anyone really believe that Riko is such a magical person?

　Even if I believe it, then... can I still keep Riko?

　Sanae Tokugawa was conflicted.

　"In short, leave it to me for now." Sanzenin Arashi took on the task. "I'll have someone investigate and give you an answer tomorrow."

　Upon hearing this, Tokugawa Sanae displayed a complex expression.

　"This one……"

　Seeing her hesitant expression, Sanzenin Arashi suggested, "I'll call Izumo over and confirm with him too. If that doesn't work, we'll have to do it tomorrow."

　Sanae Tokugawa had no choice but to agree to the proposal.

　Izumo Yoru quickly arrived at Sanzenin Arashi's office.

　"President, this is very strange..." Izumo Yoru said.

　Sanae Tokugawa listened intently.

　"Oh? Tell me."

　Izumo Yoru nodded. "I checked the monitoring system every day, and I checked it again before picking up the passenger. It was indeed working normally, but now it has all stopped."

　In other words, someone's been watching us. While I was out picking up the company president, they shut down the entire surveillance system, and not only that… they even deleted all the footage from today's broadcast.

　Sanzenin Arashi shook her head. "After I came here, I checked the surveillance footage once, and then I went to the restroom. That's how the surveillance footage went back and forth."

　Izumo Yoru sighed, "That's all I know, President."

　Upon hearing this, Tokugawa Sanae could only shake her head helplessly.

　Sanzenin Arashi said, "Let's skip the photoshoot tonight."

　"Um……"

　The girl left the room.

　Sanzenin Arashi watched Sanae leave, then opened the drawer.

　There was a laptop lying inside.

　Izumo Yoru looked at Sanzenin Arashi with a ghostly gaze and decisively shut his mouth.

　Sanzenin Arashi stood by the window, and after confirming that Sanae had left, she took her notebook and drove home.

　……

　Back home, Sanzenin Arashi took out her notebook.

　He thought for a moment, then walked directly to the switch and pulled the pole to shut off the power.

　Then I went back to my bedroom and opened my laptop.

　This computer is like an antique from the last century; it's incredibly slow to even boot up.

　After waiting for five minutes, Sanzenin Arashi finally saw the boot screen.

　Soon, a blonde girl appeared before them.

　The girl looked left and right, and finally spotted Sanzenin Arashi.

　Riko Mine's first reaction was to jump to the side.

　Then...it comically crashed into the frame of the screen.

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at Mine Riko with a cold smile.

　I finally caught you!

　"Ah... the weather's been so nice lately, Riko loves it~"

　Heh, playing dumb?
