How to raise a random guy's wife

"also."

"Ah, let's wait until the exam is over."

"So you really don't have confidence in the exam."

"It's alright..."

Chapter 152 Clingy Little Sister

The students already had a good foundation, and with the last-minute cramming from the study group, no one failed the course.

Eriri looked at her improved English grades and felt a mix of emotions.

Although I hate to admit it, Kobayashi Sora deserves credit for this.

This is just like...

I can't think about it, I can't think about it, I can almost picture it.

Around noon, after a simple ceremony and a perfunctory class meeting, almost all the students were on their way home.

Goodbye, Sawamura.

"Take care, Ishimaki. I hope we can meet again with smiles in September." Eriri said goodbye to her classmate.

"Um... Eriri-senpai! Goodbye!" More classmates gathered around to chat, "I'm so lonely not seeing you for a whole month..."

Eriri skillfully replied, "Oh dear, Kotani, really. I'll be at the club office every Wednesday during summer vacation, so feel free to come see me anytime. Misawa, of course too."

"Okay, okay... thank you, senior!" The classmate said, blushing, "Excuse me!"

In the crowd heading from the school courtyard to the school gate, the elegant young lady was like an SSR among N cards, her dazzling blonde hair sparkling.

"I feel..." Kato Megumi looked at Eriri not far away, "Eriri must be having a hard time like this."

"I guess she's gotten used to it by now," Kobayashi Sora replied, adding that he's also having a tough time right now.

“So,” Aki Tomoya, standing next to him, adjusted his glasses, “every project needs a younger female character!”

Kobayashi Sora replied casually, "After all, it's a mature industry; that's a consensus within the industry."

"I'm not talking about the product, I'm talking about the game content."

"What's the difference... never mind, go on."

"Then, the development of young female characters can be roughly divided into two types: the arrogant type and the clingy type..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you should prefer the second one, right?"

Aki Tomoya was taken aback. "How did you know?"

Kobayashi Sora glanced at Eriri not far away, "I guessed."

"Being tsundere is cute, but if I had to choose, I would definitely choose the clingy type."

"I see..." Kobayashi Sora suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of which, there are two girls now, one a clingy little sister, and the other a gentle older sister..."

At this point, both of them simultaneously sensed a certain spiritual pressure... aura.

The crowd, which was clearly quite crowded, was quietly parting ways.

Like a savior who has crossed the sea, Kasumigaoka Utaha parted the surrounding crowd and strode confidently into the center of the students.

Completely absorbed in the pages of the book in her hands, Kasumigaoka Utaha took a step without hesitation, seemingly unafraid of bumping into anyone.

The main reason is that no one dares to stand in front of her.

Unlike the approachable blonde heiress, Kasumigaoka Utaha's sharp tongue can easily break down the psychological defenses of anyone who tries to strike up a conversation.

“Hmm…” Aki Tomoya looked away, “I choose the clingy little sister.”

“My question is,” Kobayashi Sora added, “what is your relationship with these two girls?”

"Hey!"

“Just kidding,” Kobayashi Sora pointed out, “So you want to add a clingy character, right?”

"That's right. In terms of orientation, the key to clingy characters is their complete identification with the male protagonist. For example, if the protagonist is an upperclassman she admires in the club, or an enthusiastic fan, that kind of love for the protagonist that goes to the bone is most likely to stir up the player's sense of security, cuteness, and protectiveness... Imagine if there was a girl younger than you timidly following behind, tightly clutching your shirt sleeve, helplessly glancing up at you!"

Kobayashi Sora nodded, "That makes sense, but logically speaking, the female lead is already the younger sister character, so wouldn't adding another one be redundant?"

"Then let's try a different approach, junior!"

"Oh?"

"Close your eyes and imagine," Aki Tomoya closed his eyes, "that right now there's a female student leaning against a pillar at the school gate, waiting for you to appear..."

Kobayashi Sora: "Imagine the terrible state you would be in if you tripped and fell."

Aki Tomoya: "In my junior's heart... in my junior's heart, there is a knot and entanglement in her heart that she cannot be classmates with the protagonist."

"It's just that we can't be classmates."

“The other person is older…and lives in a different space and time. If we were in the same grade, we could take the same classes in the same classroom and experience time passing in the same way. But I can’t do that.”

Kobayashi Sora silently moved a little closer to Kato Megumi, "Are you so good at putting yourself in a girl's shoes?"

Aki Tomoya looked conflicted, "Just because I was born later, I felt inferior because the happy times we could have spent together were taken away from me! I was tormented by those feelings while kicking a small stone in front of me, feeling lonely!"

“In that case,” Kobayashi Sora nodded, “it is indeed quite good.”

"Hmm?" Kato Megumi tilted her head. "Do you like this kind?"

"I mean from a game development perspective," Kobayashi Sora explained, "this kind of character still has a lot of market potential."

"It's so cute! While thinking about what to say when she meets her senior today, she suddenly has a happy expression on her face. When she finally finds him, she almost bursts into tears for a moment, but the next moment her face turns into a big smile! Then, she calls out in a slightly trembling voice..." Aki Tomoya said with a look of enjoyment, "Quick, Sora, imitate it."

A gentle voice, tinged with surprise, called out, "Tomoya-senpai...?"

"Yes! That's it!" Aki Tomoya opened his eyes. "Kōshō, you're very talented!"

"Do you think I would say those kinds of things in that voice?" Kobayashi Sora raised her chin. "Over there."

The red-haired girl at the school gate was wearing a different uniform than Toyonosaki. She was slightly shorter and had short twin tails styled into a bun.

And then there's her ample figure, almost rivaling Kasumigaoka Utaha's...

"Strange?" Aki Tomoya stared blankly at the girl at the school gate. "Is she that big?"

While he was thinking, the girl ran over happily, "As expected... it really is Tomoya-senpai! Thank goodness, I finally found you~~!"

"Huh?" Aki Tomoya's face showed obvious surprise.

The little girl looked up with a face full of joy, "I...I'm back! I'm back by my senior's side!"

"Who are you— um." Aki Tomoya had only said half of one of the most hurtful things to say when they met again when Kobayashi Sora covered his mouth.

"Long time no see," Kobayashi Sora greeted with a smile. "Off to sea."

Chapter 153 Important Items

"Hmm..." The junior student, who was called "Going to Sea," stared at Kobayashi Sora, "What are you doing here?"

“You might not believe it,” Kobayashi Sora smiled, “Rinya and I are currently collaborating on a game.”

"Did you deceive him with sweet words?" Chu Hai shouted a warning. "Let go of his hand, he's mine!"

"Going out to sea...?" Aki Tomoya broke free from Kobayashi Sora's grasp. "You really... are you going out to sea with the Hashima I know?"

"Ugh~ Senior," Hashima Izumi's tone changed, "Who did you mistake me for?"

"Well, it's not really about who's who..."

Aki Tomoya simply couldn't remember who she was.

Because of the sudden appearance of the boat trip from Hashima Island, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who were originally planning to go back to their respective homes, all focused their attention on this place.

"Anyway..." Kobayashi Sora sighed, "Let's find a more convenient place to talk."

In a park a little further from Toyonosaki, Aki Tomoya is playing ball with Hashima at sea.

"You've changed so much since you went to sea."

"Huh... is there?"

"Because you used to have short hair and were very tanned."

And a certain flat area has now become very fruitful.

Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora sat on a bench. "She seems to really dislike you."

Kobayashi Sora didn't care. "Most people have this attitude."

Beside them were Eriri, who had come to the park to sketch on a whim, and Utaha Kasumigaoka, who had come to the park to read on a whim.

"Do you know her, Sawamura?" Kasumigaoka Utaha held a book in her hand, but her gaze was fixed on the distant Hashima Island.

"I don't know it." Eriri held a sketchbook in her hand, but her eyes were fixed on the sea off Hashima Island not far away.

"Since she's Lunli's junior, isn't she also your junior?"

"How would I know her? She went to a different elementary school and was two grades younger than me. Besides, that girl moved to Nagoya before she entered junior high school."

"You know so much, it feels like we can practically be considered acquaintances."

“She used to live fairly close to my house, so of course we'd bump into each other once or twice. But that was three years ago, and her appearance is completely different now.” Eriri narrowed her eyes slightly. They were about the same height, and Hashima was even younger than her, so why had she developed so much…?

Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to suddenly realize something, "Ah, you mean the size of a certain part of yourself that she has completely surpassed?"

Eriri grinded her little tiger teeth, "If you keep talking, I'm going to publish a humiliation doujinshi of the two female protagonists from 'Love Metronome,' Kasumi Utako."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled expectantly, "Seeing your own work published in a derivative work is a writer's dream. Please do me the favor, Kashiwagi Eri-sensei."

"So..." Kato Megumi gleaned information from the conversation around her, "Is this your junior?"

“In terms of factual relationship, that’s correct,” Kobayashi Sora said, resting her chin on her hand, “but my relationship with her isn’t as good as Tomoya’s.”

"Uh-huh?"

Neither of the two questioning voices beside me came from Kato Megumi.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri stared at Kobayashi Sora, waiting for him to continue.

“I’m good friends with her brother,” Kobayashi Sora explained, “but in her eyes, her brother is a hero who is fighting to stop me, a fan fiction speculator.”
