How to raise a random guy's wife

Let's eat first.

"By the way," Kobayashi Sora looked at Kato Megumi, "would you be interested in spending a few days on Kamizu Island?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head. "How long?"

"About a week," Kobayashi Sora explained. "Didn't Retsujin invite Kaka and the others to the island before? It'll be around the end of the month, so they can go and experience it, and come back just in time for the anime convention."

“An island…” Kato Megumi nodded. “Looks like I need to go pick out a swimsuit.”

Yinglili: "???"

Who was it that just said, "I'm not used to being asked out by guys," and then agreed?

Eriri turned to look at Kobayashi Sora.

This person... isn't a boy?

Kobayashi Sora suggested, "Then let's go check out the six-day event later."

"Okay."

"Wait!" Eriri protested, "You took the model away, who am I supposed to draw?"

Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, "Shall I take some photos of you?"

"If it worked, I would have done it already!" Eriri grinded her little white teeth. "I'll go too!"

Kobayashi Sora: "Huh?"

“It’s a good opportunity to do some research while I’m at it.” Eriri thought of Kasumigaoka Utaha’s email. “The story includes scenes of beaches, and I want to go and see them in person.”

Kato Megumi suggested, "Let's go pick out swimsuits together later."

"...Hmm." There are swimsuits at home, but... Eriri quite likes the feeling of shopping.

Kobayashi Sora took out her phone. "Okay, I'll contact them and arrange accommodations while I'm at it."

Kato Megumi spoke up, "Let's eat first."

After dinner, I discussed the arrangements with Kaka and the others. Kobayashi Sora and Eriri continued working, while Kato Megumi played games for a while, then took out a change of clothes and toiletries and went into the bathroom.

Only two people were left working.

The air fell silent for a moment.

"Xiao Lin Kong Qing."

Kobayashi Sora looked up and asked, "Why are you calling me by my full name now?"

"Are you serious?"

"What do you mean?"

“A game.” Eriri’s azure eyes reflected Kobayashi Sora’s face. “You really want to make a good game.”

"Regardless of how a good game is defined," Kobayashi Sora replied, "this game is crucial to whether I can successfully take over RER. If you were in my shoes, wouldn't you take it seriously?"

“I…” Eriri looked away. “I haven’t signed up for the events after the summer anime convention.”

"If I remember correctly, you participate in activities almost every month."

“If you’re just joking, of course I’ll continue participating in the event.” Eriri lowered her eyelids slightly. “If you’re serious, then this is a fair duel worth giving your all for.”

"A duel?"

“I will not lose,” Eriri whispered. “Absolutely.”

"I don't know what you mean, but..." Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, "What happens after the duel is over?"

"Hmm..." Eriri's face gradually showed a blank expression.

"You're only thinking about winning, aren't you?"

"No way!" Eriri retorted stubbornly. "Then... well, that's what happens after that."

“A man who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present,” Kobayashi Sora explained further. “I’m asking you whether you want to continue drawing doujinshi or move into the commercial field. In other words, do you want to treat drawing as a hobby or a job?”

"Well..." Eriri pursed her cherry lips, "We'll talk about it later."

Chapter 160 The Artist's Challenge

Kobayashi Sora opened her mouth, wanting to talk about her hobbies and career, which are issues that many people struggle with.

If you're going to turn your hobby into a career, you have to be prepared for failure and the possibility of not making money...

Eriri is a young lady from a wealthy family.

That's fine.

As they were talking, Kato Megumi had already finished showering and came out.

Her shoulder-length hair was smooth and fluffy after being dried, her slightly red skin was moist and shiny, and her loose clothes subtly outlined the contours of her body.

Kato Megumi looked over blankly. "Why are you staring at me?"

“This…” Kobayashi Sora searched her mind for an excuse.

"Your rosy skin looks great in photos after a shower!" Eriri's eyes lit up. "This relaxed, homey look is lovely. Sit on the sofa and let me sketch you."

"Hmm... okay."

It turns out he wasn't talking about himself.

Kobayashi Sora no longer needs to think of an excuse.

Keep watching.

“Next, lie down on the sofa,” Eriri’s hands moved so fast they were almost blurry as she drew, “and spread your legs a little wider.”

"You're going to expose yourself!"

"Then cover it with your hand, but don't cover it completely, just like that feeling of showing a little bit, you know what I mean!"

"I don't understand at all..."

"Wait a minute, friend," Kobayashi Sora reminded him, "We're making something for all ages."

Kato Megumi was cute even though she seemed a little flustered.

"That's precisely why we need to push the boundaries! Otherwise, we wouldn't need to cover it up." Eriri's eyes lit up. "I feel so excited!"

"So that's why it caught fire..." Kato Megumi stopped Eriri's restless hand.

For Megumi Kato, dedicating herself to art like Utaha Kasumigaoka is still too difficult.

Especially when Kobayashi Sora was staring at her.

So why are you staring at me like that...?

Kobayashi Sora hasn't answered this question yet.

-

"Hey, Eriri," Kato Megumi asked Eriri beside her, "would you like some milk tea?"

"No," Eriri replied curtly.

We had agreed to go pick out swimsuits together, and today was the day we agreed to meet.

A few months later, the six-day event was obviously not as crowded as the previous one, and I could stroll around leisurely.

but......

"You seem to be in a bad mood," Kato Megumi asked curiously. "What's wrong?"

"What else is going on..." Eriri pointed to the woman beside her who was walking and flipping through a book, "Why is Kasumigaoka Utaha here!"

"Didn't we already say that?" Kobayashi Sora replied, "Because senior is going too."

Since she was going to be away for a week, Kobayashi Sora naturally needed to find someone to help take care of the rice cakes.

The first person he thought of was Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had once helped take care of the mochi.

Before sending the rice cakes over, it's natural to contact them first, just in case Kasumigaoka Utaha has other plans and can't take care of the rice cakes, it will save a lot of trouble.

"A week?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was naturally curious when she received the call. "You're going on your honeymoon with Kato?"

"You're progressing way too fast..."

"It's because your progress is too slow."

"It's like this..." Kobayashi Sora briefly explained what had happened, "So could you help take care of the rice cake?"

"No."

"Luckily I asked beforehand," Kobayashi Sora said with some relief. "Okay, I'll look for a suitable pet store."

“I can’t, but you can send the rice cakes to my house,” Kasumigaoka Utaha added. “My mom will help take care of them.”

"Does your aunt like cats?"

“I quite like it,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said coldly. “She said that when female cats are mating, they know to stay in a fixed area and wait for the male cat to come to them. They’re much smarter than someone else.”

"..." Kobayashi Sora was speechless for a while, so she changed the subject, "Are you going to run away from home?"

"It's about going out to gather material. We've talked about the plot of Volume 2 before, haven't we?"

"Yes, I remember the second volume is about Laplace's demon?"

"The loser and the male lead went on a date at the beach, and we need to gather material for the beach scene."

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora realized something. "You mean..."

“I want to go too, and you can be an actor.”

"Okay." Kobayashi Sora remembered, "Megumi and Sawamura are going to pick out swimsuits, do you want to come along?"

-

"Oh, it's you!" Eriri glared at Kobayashi Sora with displeasure. "Why did you call her here!"

Who told you to show up uninvited...? Of course, Kobayashi Sora wouldn't deliberately bring Kasumigaoka Utaha along just because Eriri joined his and Kato Megumi's swimsuit-picking date, just to make Eriri feel pain.

He's not that petty.

Really.
