A super great writer in the second dimension

4. This girl dug her own hole and jumped right in!

　Eriri stared at him with a look that said, "I absolutely don't believe you," and Sanzenin Arashi put his hands at his sides. "Believe it or not, it's up to you, but I don't really want to explain."

　Sawamura Sayuri clapped her hands: "It doesn't matter how this is handled, but don't you need money, Arashi-kun?"

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded. Of course, money was needed.

　Making animation and building a community requires not only money, but a huge amount of money.

　Which of these things, like visual novels and games, doesn't cost money to make?

　Even a small game like Sylvie requires a lot of effort to develop.

　Eriri glared at her: "Mom, you want him to collaborate with me, right? To create fanfiction together?"

　Sayuri said, "But isn't that a win-win situation? Don't underestimate the financial power of the Japanese doujinshi industry. A best-selling doujinshi can generate tens of millions of yen in profit."

　Eriri pursed her lips upon hearing this, clearly unconvinced. "What—what a joke! Why would I cooperate with this guy?"

　Sanzenin Arashi said, "I never said I wanted to cooperate with you."

　"See, Mom? They didn't mean it that way themselves!" Eriri huffed.

　Sanzenin Arashi shook her head. The reason she didn't cooperate with her wasn't a problem with the doujinshi industry.

　Sanzenin Arashi said, "Leaving aside the issue of cooperation, fundamentally speaking, I have no intention of creating fan fiction; I am preparing to create original works."

　Sanzenin Arashi's casual remark caused Eriri's twin tails to stand up straight.

　"Are you underestimating fanfiction?" she glared at Sanzenin Arashi.

　Sanzenin Arashi frowned. This wasn't some kind of underestimation of fanfiction... This girl was clearly Yuriko's daughter, but she had a fiery temper. Yuriko was gentle, and Eriri was arrogant.

　“Since we’ve come this far, I’ll let my abilities speak for themselves.” Sanzenin Arashi took out a pen.

　I never expected to take a little girl as my opponent so seriously.

　"I couldn't be happier!" Eriri also took out paper and pen from her bag. The top sheet of paper contained the line art of a comic, which should be her fan work.

　"Let me tear off your mask of pretense!"

　Eriri is very angry.

　Many nobles are all the same; they take the achievements of others and claim them as their own. This man's method is probably the same.

　As a girl who loves to draw, she knows the anger of having her work plagiarized.

　Let me, Eriri Sawamura, expose your true colors!

　"So, what method have you decided to use for the competition?" Sayuri Sawamura suddenly said, as if seizing the opportunity, "Since it's a competition, it would be too bad if there were no punishment for losing. How about we make a bet?"

　“Okay.” Sanzenin Arashi agreed without hesitation.

　Eriri appeared aloof, but she was far from stupid. She immediately said, "Since you underestimate fanfiction so much, how about we settle this with fanfiction? We have one afternoon to create 4 pages of content, which will make up one storyboard. How about that?"

　At this point, Eriri chuckled lightly: "You wouldn't say... that you're not confident you can draw even a fanfic that you look down on so much? This is fanfic, you know. It benefits from the original work, and can be said to be a work born on the shoulders of giants. For the original author, it must be a piece of cake, right?"

　Sanzenin Arashi shook her head and smiled. Was this girl trying to provoke her? Did she think she was a pushover?

　Sanzenin Arashi gave an elegant bow and said, "Since you've said that, as an original author, I feel it's my duty to set an example for you, Ms. Eriri."

　"Wh-what—!?" Eriri's eyes widened, and she bristled. "Say that again!"

　Little Lily waved her hand, "Then what about the loser?"

　Eriri replied without hesitation, "If I lose to you, I'll assist you with your creative work for a year as your assistant, free of charge. I'm very confident in my drawing skills, although it's impossible for me to lose."

　“The stakes aren’t high enough!” Sanzenin Arashi snapped his fingers: “All the profits you’ve made from your fan fiction will belong to me within two years, and you’ll also have to fulfill your original bet by working for me as my assistant for free.”

　"It has to be at least this level, or are you afraid?" Sanzenin Arashi asked.

　..

5. A mother would never betray her daughter, so look at me and say that!

　Eriri Sawamura thought for a moment, then agreed.

　She didn't believe she would lose to an imposter.

　This guy is definitely a genius, but what about his painting skills? Will I lose?

　Eriri firmly believes that even in England, painting is something only young ladies do! As for men?

　Two words: Hehe.

　Sawamura Sayuri smiled and held up her phone. "Since you've already discussed it, I'll announce the rules."

　"It's 10 a.m. right now," said Sayuri with a smile. "So from now until 10 p.m., you're free to do as you please, and you can decide the content yourself, but you must produce at least 4 pages of color brochures!"

　Eriri sighed, "Mom, you're really making things difficult for me! A 4-page color brochure requires special electronic tools, but we don't have any here!"

　"Eri, I'm the referee now." Sayuri Sawamura said righteously, "Even if you're Eriri, you can't question what I say."

　"I understand," Eriri replied, adopting a serious expression.

　A 4P, or four-page comic, takes seven or eight hours to complete just the line art, and then it needs to be colored... and you should know that coloring takes even more time than the line art.

　Some comic artists serialize their works, releasing 12-page black-and-white weekly updates. They're so busy all week that they don't publish any collected volumes. Where would anyone draw color pages?

　To put it more clearly: a 12-page black and white doujinshi, sold at the summer dome event, such as the previous C88, cost 300-500 yen.

　A color brochure would cost 1000-2000 yuan.

　In Japan's doujinshi (fan-made comics) industry, prices are determined by the amount of work done.

　In other words... it's three to four times the workload.

　"Don't interrupt Ms. Sayuri as she explains the rules, you idiot." Sanzenin Arashi looked at her coldly.

　"Do you need to say it?!" Eriri knew she was being unreasonable, but as someone involved in the arts, she just couldn't bring herself to give her enemy a friendly look.

　"Whether it's tools or anything else, figure it out yourself. The outcome won't be decided by personal factors." Sayuri adopted the image of a strict mother and said without further ado, "The time limit is twelve hours. If you finish in the first six hours, you can get 12 points. The last six hours are a countdown. If you exceed one hour, you will lose two points."

　"The roles are also very important, and I will be the judge."

　"The panel layout of the comic is also scored out of twelve, based on my personal preference."

　"The scene construction is also worth 12 points, including the content, dialogue, and script-related elements. All together, it's a perfect score of 60 points. The rules of the game are self-explanatory: the one who scores the most points wins."

　Then Xiaobaihe pressed a button on her phone, "Now, the timer starts."

　Eriri hurriedly took out drawing paper and a set of colored pencils, and immediately lay down on the table to start writing furiously.

　Sanzenin Arashi watched Eriri write the words "script" on the sketch paper and then stopped paying attention to it.

　He picked up a black pen and wrote a set of English words on the sketch paper.

　Attack on Titan.

　Sawamura Sayuri's pupils contracted slightly—she saw that the boy didn't even use a pencil, but went straight for a fountain pen, and quickly produced a somewhat timid-looking boy, with the name "Eren Yeager" written on it.

　Which manga artist doesn't spend a lot of time designing the main character? But Sayuri Sawamura knew at a glance that this person was definitely the main character.

　Seeing this, Sayuri Sawamura showed no joy, but instead focused intently on the pen in Arashi Sanzenin's hand.

　Because of this pen, which glides rapidly across the paper at a pace that is impossible to look away from.

　When Sayuri saw the way Sanzenin Arashi drew, she couldn't help but speak up.

　The storyboard panels were drawn directly on a few sheets of sketch paper, and then the background was filled in; there were no characters or story elements.

　Although the background is the most time-consuming part, requiring meticulous work stroke by stroke, much like the Eastern saying, "an iron pestle can be ground into a needle," the painting in Sanzenin Arashi's hands at this moment makes one not think of it in that way at all.

　The first background was finished in five minutes.

　What kind of unbelievable speed is this...?

　The results are impeccable, even more professional than the professionals themselves!

　Then Sayuri Sawamura looked towards her daughter and couldn't help but sigh.

　Because she was being forced into a corner, Xiaobaihe's figure rushing back and forth in front of the desk looked like she was filled with remorse.

　Eriri continued to work diligently, stroke by stroke, on her sketch paper.

　Just wait until I expose you—that's what the girl thought.

　..

6. You think this is a jump? (Girl)

　When Sanzenin Arashi is focused on drawing, he looks down at his nose and his heart, his eyes seeing only the sketch paper and nothing else.

　The Attack on Titan manga is highly accomplished, from its plot and characters to its panel layout and other objective factors.

　The only drawback is that it has only one flaw.

　Its content is far too gory to be acceptable to many. The visuals of a comic book are static, lacking the impact of motion graphics. If the goal is simply to make money, then he would never choose *Attack on Titan*.

　But now, the reader is Sayuri, a mature woman.

　The plot of Attack on Titan is more likely to touch the hearts of adults, especially the eye-catching opening that immediately grabs attention.

　Taking these factors into account, Sanzenin Arashi chose Attack on Titan.

　Arashi Sanzenin finished drawing all the manuscripts for the first chapter of Attack on Titan at 1 p.m.

　This manga is not suitable for young readers; it is intended for readers aged 15 and above with a certain level of judgment. Before its anime adaptation, Attack on Titan had a certain level of popularity, but it was nowhere near as popular as manga like Naruto or One Piece.

　One is the sky, and the other is the earth.

　Sayuri Sawamura was staring intently at the manuscript on the table, her serious expression making her look like a sculpture in a square, easily reminiscent of someone deep in thought at a 45-degree angle.

　Then her gaze quickly shifted to Sanzenin Arashi.

　After watching for a while, Sayuri Sawamura said with a troubled look, "It's practically torture."

　Eriri Sawamura recovered from the battle and heard her mother's voice beside her, which made her somewhat confused.

　Eriri made a sound, and Sanzenin Arashi looked over.

　Sensing the gaze, the girl pouted, looking smug: "I've already won."

　I performed exceptionally well today. Not only did I finish all 4 pages, but I also colored half of one of them.

　Thinking about it this way, I can definitely finish everything before 10 o'clock!

　Eriri Sawamura thought smugly, "What kind of expression will the original manga artist have when he sees this?"

　Sanzenin Arashi glanced at the manuscript in front of Erii Ritai and noticed that one page was already half-colored, so she let out a slightly surprised sound.

　For Eriri, this level of skill is commendable; her drawing is quite exquisite, making her a great assistant.

　Eriri raised an eyebrow and said, "Now you know, the insurmountable gap between us exists... in terms of strength!"

　She seemed unaware that her mother, Sayuri Sawamura, was looking at her with a strange expression.

　"Mom?" She realized in the next second.

　Without saying a word, Sayuri Sawamura walked straight to Arashi Sanzenin, picked up the manuscript of the first chapter of Attack on Titan, and handed it to Eriri.

　All the manuscripts had been cut up and were now the size of a standalone book. Eriri frowned as she looked at the first page.

　"Did Mom buy and read JUMP while we were competing and working hard to finish our manuscripts? And she even cut the book in half. That's very impolite to the original author."

　Eriri spoke, then suddenly fell silent.

　The girl stared intently at the comic book in front of her. The medieval European-style architecture, along with the three walls, instantly drew her into the story.

　Eriri flipped through the pages one by one. Sanzenin Arashi shrugged. This manuscript was only for the competition, so it didn't matter if she looked at it. If she were to draw One Piece later, the manuscript would have to be kept secret.

　Sawamura Sayuri was speechless.

　Followed by.

　Within ten minutes, Eriri's eyes lit up with excitement. "Mom, is this manga a weekly or monthly publication? Seriously, I have to buy JUMP from now on!"

　Sanzenin Arashi was amused by her words and smiled.

　"Hmph—tap!" The girl made a strange sound, then turned and glared at Sanzenin Arashi: "Speaking of which... you haven't started writing yet?"

　Eriri noticed that Sanzenin Arashi's desk was completely empty except for a few pens, and she said with a disdainful tone, "You should think twice before you boast in the future, okay? It's easy to provoke truly powerful people like that!"
