How to raise a random guy's wife

Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her chin on her hand. "I remember my answer was nothing."

Even if they have feelings, they simply won't express them.

"Huh?" Kato Megumi blinked, looking at the long list on the magazine. "Whether it's a tragedy or a comedy, my goal has always been the same: to do my best to create compelling characters and stories. This process requires me to concentrate all my energy, and I don't have much time to reflect."

“Wow~” Eriri said in a monotone voice, “What an adorable tone, it’s like a completely different person.”

"That's not me!" Kasumigaoka Utaha's face darkened. "Continue."

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi continued reading, "There are four female characters appearing in the first volume this time. What are your thoughts on the depiction of multiple interactions this time?"

Eriri's memories gradually returned, "What Kobayashi said is true..."

"Several characters have already appeared. How's the subsequent plot development going?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha repeated her previous answer expressionlessly, "They're all just losers."

“Hmm…” Kato Megumi continued reading, “Although the previous stories focused on two main characters, the story structure was mainly based on dialogue, so I didn’t feel a big difference in the interactions between the characters. Because although they have different personalities, they all have the same characteristics.”

“Well,” Eriri made no attempt to hide the schadenfreude on her face, “it’s pretty much what you said.”

It seems that happiness must be built on the suffering of others.

"Tsk." Kasumigaoka Utaha started tapping her leg. "Anything else?"

"Next up is an interview with Ms. Eri Kashiwagi," Megumi Kato replied. "Now let's ask Ms. Eri Kashiwagi, who is in charge of the illustrations. This is the first time the two of you have collaborated. What was the opportunity that led to this collaboration? Do you have any feelings to share?"

Eriri's eyes widened. "He's never asked that question before!"

“I already asked,” Kasumigaoka Utaha reminded her, a smile on her face. “I remember Kobayashi was holding an illustration, and she said something like that…”

"As expected of Ms. Kashiwagi Eri, she proactively requested to collaborate and then completed the task perfectly. She must feel very accomplished now, right?"

"Who took the initiative?! If I didn't want to be held back by her, I wouldn't bother with her! It's just solving a troublesome problem, who would feel a sense of accomplishment?!" Eriri retorted at that time.

A sense of foreboding rose in Eriri's heart, and she stared at Kato Megumi. "What did the magazine say?"

Kato Megumi slowly read the contents of the magazine, "I can't quite remember whether it was Ms. Kasumi Shiko who invited me or whether I proposed the idea of ​​collaboration first. As for the opportunity, I wanted to draw pictures that people like, and Kasumi Shiko wanted to write stories that people like, so the opportunity should be the same goal. When the collaboration was successfully completed, looking at her smiling face, I was a little unsure who felt more accomplished."

“Well,” Kasumigaoka Utaha made no attempt to hide the schadenfreude on her face, “it’s pretty much what you said.”

It seems that happiness must be built on the suffering of others.

Eriri didn't have the same composure as Kasumigaoka Utaha; she snatched the magazine from Kato Megumi and began reading the interview inside.

Eri Kashiwagi was adorable and gentle during the interview, and she also had some hilarious interactions with Shizuko Kasumi.

“…” Eriri’s arm trembled, “Kobayashi Sora!”

I won't let you get away with this!!!

"Wow~" Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned close to Eriri, tilting her head to look at the magazine, a smile spreading across her face that she couldn't hide. "Such a cute tone, it's like a completely different person."

Eriri turned her head abruptly, "Stay away from me—ugh!"

Her voice stopped abruptly. Kasumigaoka Utaha's face was inches away, and in the instant Eriri turned her head, their noses touched.

"Eh?"

Kato Megumi instinctively covered the rice cake's eyes.

Kittens that are not allowed to watch this are not allowed to watch.

Chapter 143 Give Me a Cat Sticker

With her big eyes blinking, Eriri suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly backed away, and distanced herself from Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Why...why are you standing so close?!"

Eriri's skin is so white that even a slight redness looks jarring.

Kasumigaoka Utaha twirled a strand of hair between her fingers. "Oh, you're blushing."

"Who...who..." Eriri opened her mouth, "I want to go home!"

Eriri quickly packed her things and left Kobayashi Sora's house.

"Well then, I'll take the magazine." Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up the magazine that Eriri had dropped. "I'll buy you a new one another day."

"No need," Kato Megumi shook her head. "Korao will probably buy it."

"Alright," Kasumigaoka Utaha said goodbye, "See you tomorrow, bye-bye~"

Bye-bye~

See you tomorrow...

Kato Megumi rubbed the rice cake's face.

Will I see you tomorrow?

The next day, after school, Kato Megumi went to Kobayashi Sora's house, skillfully opened the door, and said, "Mochi~"

As she called softly, Nian Gao ran to the door to greet her, making cute meowing sounds.

As expected... I didn't see him.

Seeing the somewhat deserted living room, Kato Megumi cleaned the cat litter, added water and food for Mochi, and tidied up the room that Mochi had messed up.

After playing with Nian Gao for a while and finishing my homework, I left Kobayashi Sora's house.

Eriri said she needs to rest for two days, so she won't be coming today or tomorrow.

The senior student gave a similar explanation, and Kato Megumi even had the illusion that they had conspired together.

Well... I have met my senior at school.

Speaking of which... because she often chats with Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, the two beauties from the private Toyonosaki School, people occasionally start talking to her.

Although I was curious about Kato Megumi's relationship with them, Kato Megumi's presence was indeed not as faint as before.

But the person who helped her achieve all of this...

On the third day, Kobayashi Sora still did not return home.

Kato Megumi skillfully finished everything and was about to leave.

"Meow~" Nian Gao realized that Kato Megumi was leaving, so she hugged her leg, looked up, and gave her a pitiful look.

"Mochi?" Kato Megumi picked up the little... well, the big cat. "Do you miss him too?"

"Meow~"

not at all.

Eating and drinking well every day, with no one bothering him and no one taking up his bed, Nian Gao lived a very comfortable life.

Rice cake just wants to play a little longer, or eat another cat treat.

"Meow~"

Rice cakes convey their thoughts in this way.

"You must miss him," Kato Megumi comforted softly. "Korao will be back tomorrow."

After Kasumigaoka Utaha's new book is released tomorrow, Kobayashi Sora should be able to return.

"Meow~" Rice cake wasn't interested in this.

It's okay if you don't play with me, just give me a cat treat.

Hurry up.

Kato Megumi hesitated for a moment, then closed the door.

Holding a rice cake, I sent a message home.

"Okay, I'm not leaving." Kato Megumi poked the mochi's head.

"Meow~"

Give me a cat treat.

It tastes like fish.

"Meow~"

Chicken flavor is fine too.

Kato Megumi gently scratched Mochi's chin. "Look how happy you are."

"Meow~"

"It'll be fine tomorrow," Kato Megumi murmured softly, holding the rice cake. "Don't be lonely, he'll be back tomorrow."

"Meow~"

-

so.

Why do those guys love holding meetings and stamping documents so much? Meetings, stamping documents, meetings, stamping documents...

At three in the morning, Kobayashi Sora opened the door with her bag, turned on the light, threw the bag onto the sofa, and slumped down on it wearily.

Tired.

Really.

He was perfectly willing to accept compressing a week's worth of work into three days and working overtime to complete it.

However, a task that could have been completed in three days was stretched to a week, with various excuses and most of the time was wasted on communication and repeated applications and confirmations. He really couldn't accept this.

In contrast, gathering information, visiting various creators, making tailored promises, and inviting them to read the book is much easier.

"Mochi~" Kobayashi Sora called out, looking up, "I'm back."

I want a fluffy cat hug.

Only a soft, fluffy cat could comfort him in his current state of exhaustion.

"Meow~"

The sound of rice cakes came from the bedroom, and the big cat pounced on Kobayashi Sora.

"Ugh!" Kobayashi Sora let out a muffled groan. "Shouldn't you be on a diet?"
