A super great writer in the second dimension

　He had a three-hour heart-to-heart talk with Sebastian and devised a winning strategy. If they could make this woman submit, no matter what means they used, as long as she submitted, they would be invincible when facing his grandfather at the Sanzenin annual meeting.

　Although he had never met Erina Nakiri, Arashi Sanzenin was certain that Utaha Kasumigaoka was his true love.

　Sitting in the restaurant on the top floor of Ginza, Sanzenin Arashi glanced at the time.

　He sighed inwardly. He really didn't expect that one day he would actually take the initiative to invite his fiancée to dinner. To be honest, Sanzenin Arashi didn't want to deal with women. He was able to have his current abilities at the age of sixteen entirely because of his identity as a reborn person. Others would not be able to start learning simple things until they were five or six years old.

　But Sanzenin Arashi could do it from the moment she was born.

　That's right, he could speak when he was just a month old—he had already learned language long ago.

　However, Erina Nakiri is different. She is just a typical sixteen-year-old. Even if she is a rich young lady, how high-class can she be?

　Sitting here now, Sanzenin Arashi was unwilling in her heart, but her body honestly began to reciprocate Sebastian's words.

　“Erina Nakiri has never met me in person. As you know, I have specifically ordered that my photos not be circulated over the years, and I never take photos on my own initiative. I also try to avoid attending any public places. So apart from the photo taken when we got engaged, she probably hasn’t seen any other information about me. I was only seven years old at that time.”

　Sanzenin Arashi tapped the table: "After she arrives, I will sit at the next table. You try to talk to her first, and then I will deduce her thought process from what she says. Once you are fully prepared, I will come over. Until then, just try to stall her."

　After Sanzenin Arashi finished speaking, she checked the time again: 5:15.

　He had arranged to meet Erina Nakiri at 5:30, which meant there were still fifteen minutes left.

　Sanzenin Arashi stood up and sat down at a table to the side. She beckoned to a waiter, ordered a bunch of food, and asked the waiter to bring it over as soon as possible.

　When doing a show, you have to do the whole thing!

　……

　Erina Nakiri said she liked the male protagonist of Bakemonogatari, which puzzled Utaha Kasumigaoka.

　At the same time, she also felt deep sympathy for the girl because she was unable to decide her own life and was following a pre-planned path.

　Marrying a complete stranger at seventeen marks the end of her life; she will become that person's plaything afterward.

　"Shiha, you have to trust Aoyama-sensei. If he were the male protagonist of Bakemonogatari, he would definitely lend a helping hand to someone like me, right?" Erina Nakiri stood at the school gate and said with a smile to her friend whom she had just met. "I'm going to have dinner with that person tonight. If he really is the person I'm looking for, I'll contact you."

　"Do you want me to come with you?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked.

　Although I know that it would be very troublesome to intervene rashly.

　But this person is not only a friend, but probably also the biggest fan of the person you love.

　How do I put this...

　Because of this, Ms. Erina Nakiri proposed adapting Battle Through the Heavens into an anime.

　because of love.

　So even if it's just for Sanzenin Arashi's sake, I don't want to see the other person fall into this trap.

　“Then I shall respectfully accept your offer,” Erina Nakiri said with a smile.

　..

119. This isn't a Korean drama.

　Sanzenin Arashi sat bored in his seat, waiting for his cheap fiancée to arrive.

　She is late.

　Sanzenin Arashi squinted; he was giving him the cold shoulder.

　As the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, she naturally knew the importance of time. It was probably because her cheap fiancée was very dissatisfied with her that she used this method to show her displeasure.

　Just as I picked up the drink the waiter brought and was about to take a sip, a beautiful figure came into view.

　Sanzenin Arashi's eyes widened in disbelief! At the same time, he instinctively slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

　It was a figure dressed in an evening gown. Although most of the women in the hall were dressed like that, it was normal for women to wear such clothes in such a high-class setting, especially for dinner. However, this woman...

　She is Kasumigaoka Utaha.

　Even Sanzenin Arashi, who looked stunning in her evening gown, couldn't help but gasp. She rarely wore clothes like this; the gown had a fitted blouse underneath, revealing Kasumigaoka Utaha's bare shoulders. Sanzenin Arashi had only seen her that one night, and now, as she walked towards them towards the chandelier, she looked absolutely gorgeous.

　She attracted a lot of attention, and Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed a little uncomfortable with it, but still maintained a calm expression.

　She wore a pair of high heels under her long evening gown, and without stockings, her bare feet were quite eye-catching. The gown, in particular, accentuated her bust, and at that moment…

　He disregarded the negotiations with his fiancée and quickly went to meet her.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha clearly noticed Sanzenin Arashi as well, and her expression immediately changed, showing utter surprise. Her face seemed to say, "What are you doing here?" Sanzenin Arashi walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

　He looked around and then breathed a sigh of relief.

　For a moment, he even began to wonder if Kasumigaoka Utaha had come to this place with another man.

　Now it seems that this is not the case; there must be another reason.

　Sanzenin Arashi looked at her, waiting for an answer.

　"I came here with a friend, but she was downstairs getting ready for makeup, so I came up first." Kasumigaoka Utaha asked in confusion, "What about you?"

　Sanzenin Arashi coughed awkwardly, her expression changing slightly.

　I can't exactly tell her that I'm meeting my fiancée, can I?

　He forced a smile and pointed to Sebastian's location behind him. Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately understood; it turned out that she had come to this place with the butler.

　However, when she recalled seeing Sebastian in Erina Nakiri's room that night, a question popped into Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind.

　"Come on, let's step aside for a moment. I have something to tell you." Sanzenin Arashi held Kasumigaoka Utaha's small hand, looking at her gently: "It's something very important!"

　Sanzenin Arashi is no longer going to hide the fact that he has a fiancée.

　Since Kasumigaoka Utaha has already come to this place, she'll definitely find out soon enough. Rather than letting her see it and cause misunderstandings, it's better to clarify things now.

　Sanzenin Arashi would never want to see something like what happens in the main storyline of a second- or third-rate Korean drama happen in real life.

　Pulling the girl aside, Sanzenin Arashi looked around to make sure there were no paparazzi or other unwanted people before letting go of her hand.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha had several questions she wanted to ask, but decided to listen to him first.

　"Shiyu, you know that my identity is indeed quite complicated." Sanzenin Arashi said bluntly, "My elders made some decisions on their own, but I am unwilling to accept them. Tonight, I will meet with one of the parties involved to discuss the matter properly and see if there is any room for reversal."

　Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. "I know. Does this have anything to do with me?"

　“That’s right.” Sanzenin Arashi affirmed, stating succinctly, “Because I want to marry you in the future, this matter must be resolved, but…”

　"You... Ugh..." The girl waved her hand: "What are you talking about? Please stop jumping around like that! Popular author!"

　Her face turned red; she was clearly taken aback by those words.

　They had only just started dating and confirmed their relationship when they jumped straight to marriage.

　It’s too fast!

　Sanzenin Arashi also felt a little ashamed that the matter was being discussed so directly, but she didn't care too much: "Listen to me, my elders arranged a marriage for me without my consent when I was a child. They called me a few days ago to tell me that I would be getting married at the end of this year, but I don't want to."

　He paused for a moment, then said, "Because I want to be with you in the future, Shiyu."

　"So, popular author, sir!!!" Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but start calling him by his affectionate nickname, "This is such a big leap, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

　The girl simply couldn't calm down and listen to what people were saying; her mind was filled with thoughts of marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage... these thoughts kept echoing in her head.

　Sanzenin Arashi shook his head: "Listen to me calmly! Actually, I have a fiancée. My grandfather wants me to get married at the end of this year, but I don't want to. So I called my fiancée here to talk to her on the spot. Then you showed up here. I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I told you first, Are You With Me?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, then suddenly jolted awake: "What did you say? Arashi-kun? Fiancée? What's going on? Why didn't you tell me? What happened?"

　Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a series of questions were thrown at her like a machine gun.

　Arashi Sanzenin's eye twitched; explaining this would definitely be a hassle.

　What would a girl's reaction be if she heard that you have a fiancée and your parents want you to marry her immediately?

　He had only seen Sanzenin Arashi in Korean dramas before, and didn't know anything about her in reality.

　But now that he knows the answer, Kasumigaoka Utaha's face is written with: bewilderment.

　She was stunned.

　Sanzenin Arashi sighed, "Actually, in my circle, it would be abnormal not to have a fiancée when you're a child. Each generation's inheritance means evolution and consolidation. In fact, I've never even met that person, let alone liked or disliked her."

　Arashi Sanzenin paused for a moment, then said, “My fiancée has a lot of influence in Japan. You’ve heard of the Totsuki Zaibatsu, right? She’s their daughter, Erina Nakiri. I’m here tonight to talk to her about this. I heard you two met yesterday, so you’ve come along to talk to me too.”

　Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little stunned. Sanzenin Arashi shook his head, he would have the same expression if he encountered the same situation, so he said, "Where is your companion? I'll go talk to her."

　..

120. Don’t be shy and face it head-on.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression was very strange.

　“Okay… I know you’ve become friends with her.” Sanzenin Arashi shrugged and said helplessly, “You know, I’ve never even seen her face since I was born, but I did see a picture of her when I was seven. Actually…”

　This is like when your mom told you as a child, "If you eat grapes without spitting out the seeds, a grapevine will grow in your stomach"—it's all nonsense!

　"Shiyu."

　As Sanzenin Arashi was speaking, a clear and melodious female voice reached her ears. Turning around, she saw a woman in an evening gown walking towards her.

　The newcomer was an exceptionally beautiful woman. Her long purple evening gown accentuated her slender figure, and her shapely buttocks were stunning. Overall, she was on par with Kasumigaoka Utaha, but she possessed a certain air about her, a kind of arrogance that seemed to have been cultivated from a privileged upbringing, which was clearly visible on her face.

　Sanzenin Arashi labeled her as "Kasumigaoka Utaha's companion".

　Her face was exquisite, and her long golden hair cascaded down to her waist. Her outfit clearly emphasized her cleavage, with the fabric at her chest barely able to contain what was underneath. Especially her eyes, with their purple pupils that seemed to suck people in.

　She is a very beautiful woman.

　Sanzenin Arashi gave her a score of 90!

　Because 100 points belong to Kasumigaoka Utaha, and 10 of those points are bonus points.

　"Hello, may I ask who you are?" The visitor saw that there was someone standing next to Kasumigaoka Utaha and took the initiative to greet her.

　“I’m her boyfriend!” Sanzenin Arashi waved his hand and shook hands with the other person. “We bumped into each other by chance. You and Shiyu are here to eat in Ginza, right…”

　As Sanzenin Arashi continued speaking, something seemed off.

　This person... is Kasumigaoka Utaha's friend. She probably doesn't have any friends at school.

　No, no, no, didn't I meet one yesterday? It was that Erina Nakiri.

　In other words, this person...

　I wipe! ! !

　Sanzenin Arashi jerked back her hand, took two steps back, and her eyes seemed even more indifferent than before, though she was secretly observing.

　He instantly realized that he had overreacted... This Erina Nakiri didn't seem to recognize him at all.

　"..." Caught off guard by the sudden avoidance, Erina Nakiri was somewhat confused and asked in bewilderment, "Excuse me, is there something on my face?"

　"No, no, no, there's nothing on your face, but you're Shiyu's friend..." Sanzenin Arashi found herself unable to continue!

　Kasumigaoka Utaha was right there, and he really didn't want to pretend anymore!

　"Hmm?" Erina Nakiri tilted her head. "Is there something you need?"

　Sanzenin Arashi glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha and whispered in her ear, "You go to Sebastian's side first. I'll clear things up with this Nakiri Erina and then I'll come over."

　The girl remained silent throughout, because she knew very well that she had no way of getting involved in this matter.

　She's not on either side anyway, and talking to either of them will only make things worse. After all, she doesn't understand the intricate relationships of high society.

　…………

　After watching Kasumigaoka Utaha leave, Sanzenin Arashi looked at Nakiri Erina: "I was originally planning to do things very ruthlessly... but Utaha actually came to a place like this with you, you two must be very good friends."

　He pursed his lips: "Shiyu doesn't have many friends at school, so for her sake, let's have a proper talk today."

　Sanzenin Arashi is cunning and scheming; he's very good at plotting against people, but he doesn't want to do that anymore.

　No backing down, let's face it head-on.

　He wanted to maintain the image of a virtuous gentleman in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha.

　Erina Nakiri frowned: "This should be our first meeting, you..."

　She found herself unable to continue speaking, and vaguely sensed a possibility.

　“That’s right, just like you think.” Sanzenin Arashi nodded. “So, let’s clear things up here and then go over there for dinner.”

　Erina Nakiri reacted exactly like Arashi Sanzenin; she jolted and took two steps back, looking at him with a calm expression.
