How to raise a random guy's wife

Sweat was overflowing from his eyes.

Eriri... no.

Eri looked up at the sky, thinking of the person she had been with since childhood, yet who had unknowingly drifted further and further away, and silently shed tears...

Scenes from the past are vividly appearing in my mind.

But they will never appear before my eyes again.

"Yinglili..."

Yes, it's that kind of concerned call that will never... wait?

"Eri... here."

"Huh?" Eriri looked towards the source of the sound and saw a paladin dressed in knight's attire on a branch of a large tree near the balcony... No, that's... "Megumi?"

"Should we... sneak out for a bit?" Kato Megumi stood on a tree branch, gazing at the girl in a red off-the-shoulder party dress on the balcony.

"Huh?" Eriri felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

"It's been a long time since we've done this. Shall we go out on the street together?"

"What are you talking about...wait, that's strange? Could this be..." Eriri finally remembered, "This is the storyline of Serbis? You're playing the role of the Holy Knight Serbis?"

“Let’s go, Eriri.” Kato Megumi said the line she had specially replayed to memorize, “Let’s spend the last part of the festival together.”

"Megumi... how could you..." Eriri's face was illuminated by the fireworks, "This... is so shameless..."

"Hmm..." The dialogue ended there. Kato Megumi paused for a moment, "I know you want to be alone, but... I have a very low presence. Being with me or being alone is about the same."

“If you do that,” Eriri said worriedly, “the alarm will go off, and security personnel will come out.”

"No wonder it's a big villa..." Kato Megumi exclaimed, then smiled, "Kong Qing said he'll handle it."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the lights went out instantly.

Chapter 187 Nothing

Under the glow of the fireworks, Eriri and Megumi Kato looked at each other in bewilderment.

Kobayashi Sora's hacking skills are as simple and brutal as ever.

In the flickering light, Kato Megumi's figure seemed to overlap with the character's portrait in the game.

Serbis reached out his hand to Eri, his gaze tender amidst the fireworks.

But... Eriri gripped the balcony railing.

Kato Megumi was not the paladin Serbis she was waiting for.

Do I really want to go with her?

Eriri's fingers tightened, then slowly relaxed.

She remembered.

When Eri was watching the fireworks and crying, all she could think about was Serbia laughing with the other girls.

Serbias, the one who abandoned her and was with other girls.

What made Eri stop crying and start laughing was Serbis appear in front of her and extend his hand.

Wishful thinking is just needless worry; the people right in front of you are the real, tangible reality.

When she came to her senses, Eriri had already taken Kato Megumi's hand.

She lifted her skirt, stepped on the railing and pushed off with all her might. Her smooth blonde hair reflected the dazzling light of the fireworks as she jumped towards Kato Megumi on the tree branch and took her hand.

Eriri could even hear her own heart pounding violently, as if something had shattered.

The next moment, a feeling of weightlessness came over me.

Kato Megumi was pulled down from the tree by her, and the two of them fell to the ground together!

Before she could utter a short gasp, her petite body pressed tightly against Kato Megumi's, touching a net.

“For safety reasons,” Kato Megumi stood up as if prepared, and helped Eriri up, “Sora has set up a hammock here.”

Eriri's pink cheeks puffed out slightly. What on earth did Kobayashi Sora do in someone else's house?!

A figure burst out of the darkness; it was Kobayashi Sora.

"Run!" he whispered a warning, "The security personnel are coming!"

Eriri heard hurried footsteps, and the next moment, she was pulled by the hand by Kato Megumi and they started running.

The lights came on behind them, and the dimly lit villa was illuminated again.

Following behind Kato Megumi with a blank expression, Eriri asked, "Where are we going?"

"I don't know." Kato Megumi turned around. "Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"......have."

-

“So…” Leonard looked at his wife, “Didn’t Kong Qing already give instructions? Why did you still send security personnel to chase after them?”

“Of course, an act should be performed in its entirety.” Sayuri Sawamura took a sip of red wine, smiling radiantly.

The protagonist took Serbis's hand, jumped down from the tree, and planned to run away.

The party participants were in chaos, the minister shouted angrily, and the guards rushed over.

That's how it is in the game.

-

"The school building...it's become new without me even noticing." Eriri looked at the Shimamura Elementary School in front of her. It was summer vacation and night, so the school was quiet.

The three of them easily crossed the school gate and entered the school grounds, wandering aimlessly.

Eriri muttered softly, "It's still just as boring after the renovation."

“That’s how it is in public schools,” Kobayashi Sora replied.

The school grounds, school buildings, and swimming pool are all built exactly like the model primary school.

“Despicable…” Eriri bit her lower lip lightly.

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora tilted her head. "What?"

"The person who came up with the theme 'Little Romantic Rhapsody'," Eriri said, holding Kato Megumi's hand and glaring at Kobayashi Sora, "must be you, you despicable bastard!"

Gathering information and then attacking others' inner weaknesses is Kobayashi Sora's consistent style.

“This…” Kobayashi Sora nodded, “That’s right, it’s me.”

"And they even brought me here..."

“To be fair,” Kobayashi Sora corrected, “you came here of your own accord.”

"If it weren't for your plan, I'd still be at home right now!" Eriri was completely unreasonable.

Kobayashi Sora suggested, "Shall I take you back now?"

Kato Megumi said, "Korao~"

Kobayashi Sora shut up.

"Little Romantic Rhapsody was... something I recommended to him." Eriri lowered her eyelids slightly, "On his birthday."

Although he didn't say his name, both Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora knew who he was.

That is... the person who should be here the most, but is not here.

It turned out to be the case.

With the last piece pieced together, Kobayashi Sora's jumbled thoughts were finally organized, piecing together a complete picture.

It contains the whole story.

Kobayashi Sora was initially a little confused.

Aki Tomoya is different from people like him in the industry.

Kobayashi Sora will play all sorts of games, regardless of genre.

Aki Tomo is also a consumer-oriented otaku who buys games with real money, so he basically only chooses the types he likes, namely bishoujo games.

Games targeted at women are basically not on his buying list.

It's quite illogical that someone like him would recommend the female-oriented novel "Little Romantic Rhapsody" to someone going to Bo Island for a sea trip.

Unless... someone who plays games targeted at women carefully selects the best ones from the vast number of such games and recommends them to him.

Eriri recommends "Little Love Rhapsody" to Aki Tomoya.

After parting ways with Eriri, Aki Tomoya recommended "Little Love Rhapsody" to Hashima Izumi, opening the door to a new world for the junior schoolgirl.

This led to the emergence of Boshima Izumi, a genius who, though not yet fully realized, was already overflowing with talent.

That's why Eriri's reaction was so strange before.

Her reaction was only so intense at the fan convention.

This is not a simple stress response, but a complex interplay of multiple factors.

First of all, "Little Romantic Rhapsody" was originally an important item for Eriri and Aki Tomoya, but it became an important item for Aki Tomoya and Hashima's voyage.

Eriri's unique symbol was taken away so easily.

Secondly, many years later, when Eriri and Aki Tomoya resumed normal communication, Hashima Izumi drew a doujinshi that surprised Aki Tomoya, and her enthusiasm and ability were recognized by Aki Tomoya.

Eriri has been surpassed.

Eriri's unique identity was taken away so easily.

Hashima Saikyo never parted ways with Aki Tomoya, and is an even better childhood friend than Eriri.

Eriri's special relationship was taken away so easily.

Finally, the first anime that Ayumi Hashima made was "Little Love Rhapsody," and the first anime that Aki Tomoya made was also "Little Love Rhapsody."

This is the work that Eriri gave to Aki Tomoya as a birthday gift.
