A super great writer in the second dimension

　Beside her, Sanzenin Arashi nodded and exchanged a glance with Aoyama Nanami.

　"What's wrong?" Nanami was a little shy. It was rare for people in Japan to stare at young girls like that. She and Arashi were strangers before.

　"I need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register my citizenship, and then to the Commerce Bureau. The whole trip will take about two hours. After that, let's sit down and have a good chat."

　With Nanami Aoyama by her side, Arashi Sanzenin never needed to ask for directions. Osaka's streets are very complicated, and without her, Arashi wouldn't even know how to take a bus.

　In just an hour and a half, Sanzenin Arashi completed the household registration and registered the company address with the Administration for Industry and Commerce. All that was needed was to fill out the information online and then fax it to the correct address. After all, times are changing.

　"Where do we go next?" Aoyama Nanami asked with a smile.

　After spending more than an hour together, Sanzenin Arashi became somewhat familiar with her.

　This girl is very patient; you can tell from various details that she is a very serious person.

　It gives people a sense of reliability.

　So far, she has given me a lot of help.

　When Sanzenin Arashi arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau with her household registration booklet, she was told that a relevant person needed to be present for the citizenship application. If it weren't for Aoyama Nanami, she would have been tormented by those civil servants today.

　"Lan Jun? Are you listening?"

　"Hmm?" Sanzenin Arashi was startled. After regaining her senses, she checked the time. There was still half an hour before lunchtime. She might as well take care of those chores now.

　The girl in front of him was still waiting for a reply, but the next sentence made her cough.

　Sanzenin Arashi casually asked, "Could you come with me to buy a car?"

　"Huh...? What are you talking about? Isn't Lan-kun a minor?"

　Aoyama Nanami was originally speaking standard Japanese, but at this moment she suddenly switched to the local Osaka accent, also known as the Kansai dialect...

　A sixteen-year-old wanting to buy a car? That's something a teenage girl simply can't understand!

　In other words, she was dumbfounded.

　"Could you please lead the way?"

　"I understand, but please be careful when you drive."

　Sanzenin Arashi had originally planned to buy a car, but she'll definitely be very busy in the future. She can't possibly take the bus all the time, can she? When she works until the early hours of the morning, is she supposed to walk home by herself?

　Before they could eat, the two found a 4S store nearby, and Sanzenin Arashi went in and started looking at cars.

　Interestingly, despite Japan being a major automobile producer, with some Honda brands holding a significant share of the global market, the cars displayed in dealerships are not Japanese-made.

　The exhibition stand features the famous Porsche, alongside a Mercedes-Benz S600 and a BMW.

　These are all cars that cost tens of millions of yen.

　Just then, a young man walked over and asked, "I'm the store manager. Is there anything you need?"

　Halfway through the questioning, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

　The two guests in front of me don't look like adults at all.

　Why would someone like that come to his shop for no reason?

　Are they here for amusement?

　Aoyama Nanami blushed a little; she was really embarrassed. Some customers looking at cars nearby were all glancing in her direction.

　"Hey, shall we come back later?" Nanami said to Sanzenin Arashi with some worry and a little embarrassment.

　"It's alright, watch me." Sanzenin Arashi indicated to Aoyama Nanami not to worry. He wasn't using his own money now. When he came to Japan before, he had taken his senior's card. He was sure his senior wouldn't complain about him buying a car.

　Once I've finished writing those comics and novels, it won't be surprising if I start driving a car, right?

　Immediately afterwards, Sanzenin Arashi took out a card with a rather unusual appearance.

　This is a bank card with the highest level of security. If my enemies in Japan dare to investigate this card, it will become an international issue.

　However, this card also has some drawbacks: the account will be audited, and it cannot be used to withdraw money at will.

　The young store manager looked troubled: "Sir, the problem isn't there at all. To buy a car, you have to be an adult. Besides, some registration procedures require your identification."

　“Of course I know about this,” said Sanzenin Arashi, taking out another piece of identification.

　The store manager widened his eyes, took a deep breath, and then nodded: "If that's the case, then there's no problem. May I ask what kind of car you need, sir?"

　Aoyama Nanami was still completely confused. How could taking something break down the age gap and solve everything without any problems?

　Sanzenin Arashi gave her a mysterious look, then said to the store manager, "I want to buy a British car, do you have any recommendations?"

　Upon hearing this, the store manager's expression became somewhat strange: "This customer, if you're considering safety, you can buy a German car. They're undoubtedly excellent in that regard, with vehicle technology passed down from the German Army during World War II. They're definitely a well-established brand. However, considering that international oil prices remain high, I would recommend fuel-efficient Japanese cars instead. Many people also support domestically produced cars and buy Japanese cars."

　At this high-end 4S store, the store manager personally greeted us, and he spoke with exceptional politeness and courtesy.

　However, Arashi Sanzenin was not interested in Japanese cars at all; he was more familiar with British cars from Great Britain.

　The store manager understood his meaning and asked, "So, what kind of car model are you planning to buy, sir?"

　..

13. Anyway, it's not my money.

　What car models do young people prefer?

　Even Arashi Sanzenin, who dreams of racing in Initial D, would naturally answer: "Sports cars, of course! The streamlined body and the sleek, integrated feel make them the perfect toy!"

　The card issued by Sanzenin Arashi can only be used once. When his senior brother discovers that his card has been used for an unfamiliar transaction, he will definitely choose to freeze it immediately. He knows Arashi's serious personality very well.

　The store manager's expression was full of surprise. This young man actually came to buy a sports car?

　He immediately perked up, first picking up a glass of water, and then excitedly leading Sanzenin Arashi towards the British car section.

　It has to be said that no matter where you are, money talks, and that's absolutely true!

　When the streamlined body and integrated design, these eye-catching features all came into view, Sanzenin Arashi felt a sense of awe.

　The store manager continued his enthusiastic introduction: "British cars are definitely the top choice for young people. The 2.0 turbo engine is simply a favorite among young people. Sir, if you're planning to buy a sports car, I recommend Bentley. Their cars are very flamboyant, but perhaps that's the feeling you're looking for, isn't it? If you're looking for something practical, I also recommend..."

　The store manager spoke eloquently, offering several cars ranging from seven or eight million yen to tens of millions of yen, covering almost all price ranges. Regardless of the price, there were several models to choose from.

　However, Arashi Sanzenin was getting impatient and waved her hand, saying, "Let's go with the Aston Martin. No other cars are allowed on the road."

　Some sports cars that are too expensive can't even be driven on public roads; they can only be driven on private land or dedicated lanes. Even if Sanzenin Arashi came, it wouldn't make a difference.

　The young store manager stopped his eloquent speech and was momentarily stunned.

　Are you going to buy it already?

　Who doesn't look at sports cars again and again before choosing one? Where can you find someone who makes such a quick decision... especially one from an extremely expensive brand?

　The young store manager, skilled in his work, said without hesitation: "That's the latest Vanquish model; it will definitely satisfy you, sir."

　A tablet computer was handed to Sanzenin Arashi, displaying various parameters of the vehicle, as well as its streamlined appearance and imposing design.

　However, this kind of sports car would cost around a million US dollars, not to mention the Japanese yen.

　Sanzenin Arashi glanced at it for a few seconds before taking the card out.

　The young store manager swallowed hard, muttering to himself, "If this deal goes through, the commission will be three months' salary for me."

　"Oh, by the way, do you handle related services here? Like insurance or something?" Sanzenin Arashi asked casually.

　The shop manager nodded his little head like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, of course, sir. Whatever you need, we can not only do it for you, but we will also never charge you a single yen. It's all free!"

　He's now eager to sell the car.

　The store manager swallowed hard and quickly said, "Then the price of this car is one..."

　"Wait a minute." Before he could finish speaking, Sanzenin Arashi interrupted him.

　"You mean..." The store manager looked over expectantly.

　Sanzenin Arashi waved his hand dismissively. It wasn't his money anyway, so he wasn't worried. He said, "Include all the insurance and other services in the calculation. I want a ten-year subscription. Then, just swipe your card."

　Ten minutes later, Sanzenin Arashi drove the only display car in the 4S store out of the door.

　Aoyama Nanami was standing at the store entrance waiting for him. He was going to look at the car, and the girl said she wouldn't go with him.

　Sanzenin Arashi sat in the driver's seat. To be honest, this sports car was indeed comfortable to drive, as smooth and easy as if it were his own arm. The seats were exceptionally soft, and the interior was very ordinary, with a low-key and restrained feel to it.

　This car costs over 100 million yen...

　If Nanami Aoyama became a voice actress, a big-name one, earning 100,000 yen per recording session, she could buy this car with just 1,000 recording sessions.

　When Sanzenin Arashi saw Nanami standing at the door, he rolled down the car window, waved, and called out a couple of times.

　The girl jogged over and tried to pull the passenger door open, but she couldn't get it to budge...

　Sanzenin Arashi was somewhat speechless. "These car doors open upwards to the side, Miss Aoyama."

　The first thing Aoyama Nanami asked as he got in was, "This car must be very expensive, right? I just checked on my phone, and the cheaper ones are several million yen. The expensive ones are terrifyingly expensive; the string of zeros at the end made my eyes blurry..."

　Sanzenin Arashi was somewhat surprised. This girl was actually quite caring? She was already reminding him not to waste money?

　Ok……

　Anyway, this money isn't mine.

　For his senior brother, this amount of money was nothing. His father was the British Minister of Defence, a Knight of the Yangtze, and a Grand Earl with a fiefdom.

　"Don't worry, Nanami, this isn't a very expensive car." Sanzenin Arashi said with a smile, "Where would you like to eat?"

　However, Aoyama Nanami didn't seem hungry. Perhaps she was too concerned about what Arashi had said earlier, wondering how it could help her. The girl was already impatient.

　"Lan Jun... let me call you brother then. I really want to know how to convince my parents..."

　..

14. A Battleground Between Father and Daughter

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at the impatient Aoyama Nanami and said, "Being a voice actor is not as simple as you think. It's not just about the voice. There are many people with good voices these days. It's very difficult to stand out among them."

　"Nanami, your voice is very nice, I don't deny that, but having a nice voice and being a voice actor are two completely different things."

　Aoyama Nanami lowered her head and murmured, "I know that too, but I won't give up."

　The girl seemed stubborn, but she was indeed trying her best.

　Sanzenin Arashi nodded. "Then I'll help you persuade your parents. After that, you'll need to witness it yourself before you can make a decision."

　"Huh?" The girl looked up at Lan: "You mean..."

　She had thought the man in front of her would give her some advice, but she didn't expect him to be so thorough.

　"Then let's cancel the candlelight banquet tonight and go back." Sanzenin Arashi started the car, and the top-of-the-line sports car emitted a pleasant engine sound as it slowly drove forward.

　Throughout the journey, Sanzenin Arashi looked at Nanami in the passenger seat and couldn't help but sigh.

　I've heard a lot about voice actors being subjected to unspoken rules in my past life. It's better not to tell people who don't know. Things with flaws aren't the kind of fairytale dreams that exist in the Grimm's fairy tale.

　Aoyama Nanami felt uneasy the whole way. She had just had a big argument with her family, and just imagining their faces made her feel ashamed, let alone going back to see them.

　Things weren't as bad as the girl had imagined. The father of the Qingshan family acted as if nothing had happened, sitting at the dining table and saying, "The descendants of the Qingshan ancestors who went out this time, namely my great-grandfather, have returned, so let's have a banquet."

　Aoyama Nanami sat in her seat without saying a word.

　Even though the Aoyama family prepared some takeout sushi for Sanzenin Arashi's arrival, making it a rather sumptuous dinner, Nanami had no appetite at all.

　Sanzenin Arashi casually picked up a bottle of beer, clinked glasses with Aoyama's father, and downed it in one gulp.

　Nanami sat to one side, constantly checking the situation out of the corner of her eye; she was getting a little anxious.

　Just as the girl was about to speak, Sanzenin Arashi put down his wine glass and suddenly said, "Uncle, I heard that Nanami wants to become a voice actress. What do you think?"

　Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes widened, her heart pounding on the edge of a knife.

　"Me?...!" The girl jumped up as if by reflex.

　Then, a hand pressed down on her shoulder, strong and warm, forcing her to swallow the rest of her words.

　Looking up, Nanami noticed that Sanzenin Arashi had given her a wink.

　Just now, he casually uttered a sentence that was very difficult to say.

　Then, she braced herself for a volcanic outburst of reprimands... but after a long while, there was still no sound.

　On the contrary, it was the father of the Aoyama family, the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table, who sighed and said, "So she told you everything..."

　Aoyama's mother chimed in, "I never expected that this child, who is usually so shy, would actually..."
