Crossover Anime: The Heroine is in Trouble? I Take Advantage of the Situation

Eriri froze, lifting her tear-streaked face to look at Shiho in disbelief.

Seeing Shiyu's encouraging and trusting gaze, he finally stopped crying and smiled, nodding emphatically.

"Ok!"

At that moment, she felt immense gratitude towards this gentle, strong, and understanding senior.

This scene was also seen and secretly filmed.

……

I returned to my apartment in the evening.

After giving Fujiwara Seiji a detailed account of Eriri's family situation, Utaha, with a hint of guilt and inner struggle, spoke:

"Lili is a good girl, she's already so pitiful... I want to help you bully her."

Fujiwara Seiji heard her words but didn't even lift his eyelids: "Shiyu, I never force anyone."

"Everything was consensual."

He paused, then continued, "And don't you think that what she needs most right now is precisely my 'help'?"

This twisted logic left Shi Yu speechless.

Yes, given Eriri's current situation, is Fujiwara Seiji's appearance a "harm" or a "rescue" for her?

Shiyu herself couldn't figure it out, so she stopped talking.

Meanwhile, Seiji Fujiwara pondered Eriri's situation and fell into deep thought.

'The father abandoned Xiaobaihe and returned to his hometown to marry his childhood sweetheart, only to die unexpectedly during their honeymoon.'

'Little Lily went on a trip to relax, but the plane she boarded mysteriously disappeared?'

'The Sabines family never approved of Sawamura's father staying in Japan and marrying Sayuri. Therefore, after the incident, they disapproved of Eriri's existence and planned to reclaim their assets in Japan.'

'That villa, Eriri is only allowed to live there until she turns 18?'

Seiji Fujiwara pondered this information and couldn't help but glance at the system.

[Note: The current version is 1.0, "Youthful Daily Life." Please enjoy these peaceful days!]

Eriri's mother's disappearance, along with the entire plane's vanishing, bothered him.

But now it seems there's no need to worry too much...

It's still a peaceful daily routine for now.

……

……

A few days later, a secretly taken photo was posted on Toyosaki's school forum.

In the photo, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri, and another person are sitting in a cafe. Eriri is crying, and Utaha is holding her hand.

[A love triangle involving a genius writer?! A new lover laments, the wife is by her side—the plot is incredibly complex!]

Such a sensational headline instantly caused a huge uproar online.

"I knew there was something wrong! Eriri is crying!"

"Fujiwara-sensei, why do you make girls sad!"

　030 "I feel so sorry for Kasumigaoka-senpai..."

Online opinion was almost unanimously attacking Seiji Fujiwara and sympathizing with the two beautiful girls.

However, Seiji Fujiwara did not come forward to explain.

On the contrary, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who is the "official wife", took the initiative to share the news on her social media account.

And accompanied by explanatory text:

"I didn't want to respond to the unfounded speculation. But in order not to affect my friends, I would like to clarify: I am planning to write my first light novel soon, and I have invited Eriri to be my exclusive illustrator."

"As for tears, they are just an expression of being too excited when the souls of creation collide."

"Please refrain from making wild guesses, thank you for your concern."

Eriri also shared the message on her own account, adding the same explanation.

Upon seeing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on!

Oh, so you were talking about work!

They cried while discussing the plot, which shows they were really invested in it!

As a result, public opinion took a dramatic turn!

"It was a misunderstanding! I knew Kasumigaoka-senpai wasn't that kind of person!"

"I knew it! Fujiwara-sensei would never hurt a girl's feelings!"

"This is true divine friendship! I'm totally shipping it!"

After all, Seiji Fujiwara started out with light novels.

As Seiji Fujiwara's girlfriend, it's perfectly reasonable for Kasumigaoka Utaha to try her hand at writing light novels.

So everyone accepted it immediately.

……

……

Inside the apartment, Seiji Fujiwara smiled with satisfaction as he watched the public opinion shift.

at the same time.

The long-awaited system notification reappeared.

[Ding! Congratulations! The strategy for the target [Kasumigaoka Utaha] has entered the final stage: Stage Three 'Completely Subdued'!]

[Three-stage reward: The complete manuscript of "The Devotion of Suspect X" + outline + writing experience!]

[Ding! Detection indicates the target has been completely tamed...]

[Final reward triggered... Permanent ability [Genius-level Literary Conception], issued!]

boom--!

An indescribable torrent of information instantly flooded his mind!

Seiji Fujiwara's pupils dilated slightly, as if he were floating in a dazzling galaxy composed of countless fragments of stories.

He saw countless beginnings, countless turning points, and countless endings.

A simple word can instantly generate hundreds of different images and expressions in his mind.

Plot development, character development, pacing...

These things, which originally required experience and talent to accumulate slowly, now seemed like innate instincts to him!

In his eyes, the whole world had become a library of story materials that could be disassembled and reassembled at will.

"This is... a genius-level literary concept?"

Seiji Fujiwara, sensing this amazing ingenuity and inspiration, showed a look of admiration on his face.

Perhaps it's because familiar faces aren't around.

Eriri sighed, a bittersweet sense of loneliness welling up inside her.

I had never felt lonely before.

But after meeting Utaha and Seiji Fujiwara, and experiencing the warmth of those days, she could no longer bear the loneliness of the past.

"No! Cheer up, Eriri!"

Chapter 51 I know everything about light novels! (1/2)

She shook her head vigorously, trying to shake that feeling of weakness out of her mind.

The illustration work I signed with Shinazugawa isn't finished yet!

After finishing the painting, I still need to prepare illustrations for Shiyu's works. There's no time to wallow in self-pity here.

Eriri took a deep breath and put on her headphones to shut out the noise from the outside world.

She gripped the pen again, the lingering confusion in her eyes fading away, replaced by the sharp gleam of a genius painter.

From that moment on, it is no exaggeration to say that he was proficient in all forms of literary creation!

There was a pause.

Seiji Fujiwara thought to himself, 'System, receive *The Devotion of Suspect X*.'

next moment.

A torrent of knowledge appeared in his mind, which he could quickly absorb.

That was a captivating story!

The protagonist, Ishigami, secretly admires his neighbor, Yasuko, who works at a bento shop. His only joy each day is going to the same bento shop to buy lunch, just to catch a glimpse of Yasuko.

Yasuko and her daughter depend on each other for survival. In a moment of carelessness, she kills her ex-husband who comes to harass her. To save Yasuko, Ishigami offers to handle the aftermath.

—With meticulous logic, Ishigami devised an unbelievable scheme, providing Yasuko with a flawless alibi, leaving the police only able to probe from the outside and unable to get involved in the case at all.

……

I sorted through the information about this book in my mind.

A nostalgic smile appeared on Seiji Fujiwara's lips.

In his memories of his past life, this masterpiece by Keigo Higashino was more than just a bestseller.

It is a monument.

A masterpiece that simultaneously won both the highly prestigious 134th Naoki Prize and the 6th Honkaku Mystery Novel Award, the highest honor in the mystery fiction world!

It opened the door to pure literature with the genre of detective novels, telling a story that blends love, sacrifice and logical trickery to the extreme.

It depicts a requiem that a man gave his life for.

Its literary and social significance has long transcended the scope of ordinary detective novels, enough to move even the most demanding literary critics.

"My next step, needless to say, is the Naoki Prize."

Seiji Fujiwara leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to think.

The two most famous literary awards in Japan are the Naoki Prize and the Akutagawa Prize.

The former is a "newcomer award" for popular literature, while the latter is the highest achievement in pure literature.

For an author, obtaining either one is equivalent to stepping onto the ladder to heaven, instantly becoming adorned in imperial robes, and gaining a huge level of royalties!

Seiji Fujiwara's current royalties are quite high, and he's not short of money for the time being.

But he still needs these two awards.

These two awards are a watershed moment; once you cross them, you enter the inner sanctum, step out of the game, and gain the right to live a free and unrestrained life.

This can be roughly understood as Fujiwara Seiji becoming equivalent to a famous scholar or a poor scholar during the Nine-Rank System in China after winning the award.

They were no longer commoners or laymen.

Although he can't play the game yet, he has already become a spectator on the sidelines.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" itself won the Naoki Prize.

"With my current literary skills, after polishing, the quality will only be higher... One of the two prerequisites for winning the award has already been met."

"The rest is just about getting it running."

He seemed to be deep in thought.

"Also... the timing for winning over Eriri isn't quite right yet; we need to wait a bit longer."

"Perfect timing, the dates for my trip to Hokkaido have also come up."

"It's time to enjoy yourself."

Seiji Fujiwara nodded slowly.
