How to raise a random guy's wife

"I don't like staying here," Kasumigaoka Utaha said frankly. She didn't want others to see her when she was creating, but no one could guarantee that no one else would pass by outside the audiovisual classroom. Compared to that... "Go to your house."

There was no such worry at Kobayashi Sora's house.

Kobayashi Sora started packing her things, saying, "Whatever."

"School's already started, why do we still have to go to his house?" Eriri complained.

Are contact lenses comfortable to wear?

“Hmm…” Eriri also realized the problem.

At Kobayashi Sora's house, she can wear her thick-rimmed glasses, which are more comfortable.

However, at school, one must strive to maintain the persona of a pampered young lady.

I feel more comfortable at Kobayashi Sora's house.

The group packed up their belongings and moved to a new location.

After a long while, Aki Tomoya stared at the closed door of the audiovisual classroom, speechless for a long time.

Kobayashi Sora opened the door and immediately heard the mochi's cries.

"Meow~"

An eight-month-old Maine Coon is twice the size of an average cat. Its silver-gray body is dotted with black smoke-like stripes, its long fur is soft, and its tail fur spreads out like feathers, making it look like a little broom.

As the body grows, the lynx fur on the tips of its ears becomes more prominent, and its face shape changes from cute to more majestic, making it look like a little lion.

but......

"Meow~"

Her voice became even softer and cuter.

"Have you gained weight again?" Eriri rubbed the fluffy little face of the rice cake. The little guy who used to be so big could now easily reach Eriri's belly with his two big paws when he stood up.

"Meow~" Mochi protested in a gentle voice, turned around and pounced on Kasumigaoka Utaha's lap, stomping on it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri and smiled.

Eriri: "...Scumbag cat."

Then he looked at Kobayashi Sora, "What kind of person is this cat?"

Kobayashi Sora: "......" Is it my fault that you don't have a good figure?

"We have a new flavor of lemon black tea," Kato Megumi said. "Would you like some?"

"Yes!" Eriri answered happily.

This guy had none of the British obsession with tea; he was thoroughly enjoying bottled tea.

Kato Megumi put down her things. "Sora and I are going to buy groceries. Is there anything you want to eat?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri skillfully ordered food, which was one of the reasons they came here.

Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora left the house, and before leaving, she told them, "Don't fight at home, okay?"

"Okay~" Eriri replied in a drawn-out voice.

Kasumigaoka Utaha stroked Mochi's head, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu about the scene.

After Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi left, the room fell silent.

Eriri skillfully slipped into Kobayashi Sora's warehouse, rummaged through the games she hadn't bought, and turned on the game console.

"Speaking of which..." Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke up, "What's your decision yet?"

"Huh?" Eriri replied casually.

"About the comics."

"Hmm..." Eriri paused for a moment as she pressed the controller. "Let's talk about it later."

"Oh?"

"Even with One-Punch Man, I told Kobayashi Sora that I'd wait a while."

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked curiously, "Why?"

"I don't have time." Eriri stared at the game screen. "I can't guarantee future updates, so it will naturally take a while longer."

"After the game is finished?"

"......Um."

With her eyes slightly narrowed, Kasumigaoka Utaha sensed something was amiss. "I didn't realize you were so interested before."

No, it's not out of interest.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was revising her word choice in her mind.

Before, I felt like I was just going through the motions, but now I want to eliminate other factors and give it my all.

So it's not enthusiasm, but... fighting spirit.

"Mind your own business," Eriri muttered softly.

She really wasn't interested before.

In her opinion, with her abilities, as long as other aspects keep up, completing high-level game concept art will be a piece of cake.

Such a simple thing is naturally hard to get excited about, let alone ignite the fighting spirit to go all out.

However... this mindset was changed by what happened before.

Eriri's encounter with the island of Hashima made her realize that her abilities were not as strong as she had imagined.

Although unwilling, she had to admit that she had lost to the island of Bo.

Admitting defeat does not mean admitting it.

This led to the subsequent contact with the island of Po and its sea voyage.

In Iori Hashima's plan, Eriri is a supporting character before Hashima sets sail and makes her debut.

To put it more bluntly, it's a stepping stone.

Iori Hashima believes that Hashima's departure from the sea will allow her to achieve even greater success than Eriri.

What Eriri found most unacceptable was that everything that happened at the doujinshi convention proved that Iori Hashima's ideas and plans were correct.

Eriri is going to teach him a lesson.

Iori Hashima wants to replace Sora Kobayashi, so Eriri has to help Sora Kobayashi keep her position.

The method, of course, is to use her drawing skills to elevate the already high-level game to an extremely high level.

Only in this way can we completely defeat Hashima Iori and Hashima Izumi.

We need to conquer even more players.

Then she can respond to Aki Tomoya's comments with a disdainful look.

He's not the only player in the world.

Who wins and who loses is not up to him.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the game screen.

Although she rarely plays games, she can still understand the general plot development.

After all, it's a visual novel game, not a complex strategy game or a visually stunning action game.

This time... Eriri didn't choose her childhood friend.

That's really rare.

Did Eriri actually solve the problem, or was she deliberately avoiding it?

Kasumigaoka Utaha opens her red notebook.

Given Eriri's current fighting spirit, she might end up having her own script completely overshadowed by the animator.

At least, what I'm writing right now isn't good.

If we add that... no way.

Kasumigaoka Utaha gathered her thoughts.

Ultimately, this is a very important game for Kobayashi Sora, and she can't afford to be willful.

The goal is to finish the script, and if there's any free time afterwards...

This will slow down the pace of light novel production.

Hmm... two volumes should be enough.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's phone vibrated slightly; she saw a text message from someone.

After reading the message, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not reply.

Just like before.

Chapter 202 Music Production

"sorry."

"what......"

After school, the slanting sunlight streaming into the corridor leading to the art classroom had already stretched into the corridor.

Eriri lowered her head, carefully choosing her words, "I'm very happy about your feelings, senpai, really."

"Ah, it's okay..." The senior scratched his head, "...Hmm."

Her golden twin tails shone even brighter in the setting sun. Eriri lowered her eyelids slightly. "However, my mind is currently focused on the next exhibition, so..."

"Oh...that's right!" The senior chuckled twice. "After all, it's related to whether you can win the award for two consecutive years." He looked a little embarrassed. "Sorry, at such an important time, I still..."

"No, no," Eriri waved her hand with a smile, "Senpai, please don't say that... I really feel sorry."

"Well... then you can save your answer for now!"

"what......?"
