How to raise a random guy's wife

"Iori, do you think that just because you surpass me in the game, you can take my place?" Kobayashi Sora raised her eyes. "You're too naive."

"Oh?"

“When I became the representative, Akane-nee said that I could choose the production team,” Kobayashi Sora pointed out. “But I chose to form my own club to better showcase my personal abilities, rather than the abilities of the existing production teams in RER.”

"I recruited my club too."

"So, you're still far from good at intelligence gathering." Kobayashi Sora's lips curled up slightly. "The members of that group were originally outsiders from the production team. Otherwise, how could they be so coincidentally both capable and easy to recruit?"

Iori Hashima whispered, "So, they were given to me by people in the production team?"

“To secure this position, I need to do a lot. But to make me lose this position, all those people need to do is support someone who seems stronger than me,” Kobayashi Sora explained. “Once you defeat me, your subordinates will become someone else’s people, and you will be someone else’s puppet.”

This is one of the reasons why Kobayashi Sora formed her own team.

Only in this way can he break free from constraints and truly secure his position.

Even if the game fails, he can still have a production team to continue his other projects.

If the game is successful, he will not only secure his position but also have a mature and excellent team.

"I see..." Iori Hashima lowered her eyelids slightly, then smiled. "Isn't that wonderful?"

Kobayashi Sora frowned slightly.

“Becoming a puppet means I can enjoy the status without actually doing any work,” Iori Hashima frankly admitted. “We pursue different things, Sora. Why do so many people not want you to hold onto your position? To put it bluntly, it’s all about profit. I only want fame, so they like me and are willing to fully support me for that—do you understand?”

"It seems you really want to fight me." Kobayashi Sora realized the situation. "Taking advantage of the situation is indeed a good move, but every gain comes with risk."

Iori Hashima clearly understood, "You mean, if the game's quality doesn't meet the requirements, all this praise will turn into curses?"

Kobayashi Sora nodded. "Let me tell you something else. Our club is called [Kasumi Eri].

“I see. That way, even if the game has flaws, players can use them as points of attack, and fans of Kasumi Shiko and Kashiwagi Eri will help defend it—you're amazing.” Hashima Iori quickly understood Kobayashi Sora’s plan. “However, games are a comprehensive art form. Not being the best in every aspect makes it the best.”

"How much water a bucket can hold depends on its shortest stave," Kobayashi Sora has already witnessed the artist's skill; all that's left is the plot and music. "Hopefully, the full version's plot can maintain its current level of quality."

"Regarding the plot," Iori Hashima said with a mysterious smile, "you should worry more about yourselves than about us."

"We're both quite considerate of each other," Kobayashi Sora concluded. "It seems that's all we can say. I've approved your application. Keep up the good work."

“Sawamura-senpai,” Hashima Izumi bowed, “Goodbye, Fuyu COMI.”

"Do your best," Eriri paused, "try... to see clearly."

"Huh?" Bo Island didn't understand.

"Good luck, Fuyu COMI!" Kato Megumi encouraged. "I'm really looking forward to your game."

"Ah... um!" A bright, energetic smile appeared on Poshima Izumi's face. "I'll definitely do my best!"

So, the atmosphere completely changes the moment Kato Megumi speaks.

Over the next few days, Kobayashi Sora studied the script completed by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

He had a vague feeling that Iori Hashima wasn't just making things up.

Coupled with his previous worries, he had a bad feeling.

No matter how many times I read it, there are no obvious problems with the plot of this script.

His unease did not lessen; on the contrary, it grew stronger day by day.

Chapter 235 Uncontrollable Emotions

First and foremost, it's certain that the script is excellent, the plot flows smoothly, and the dialogue is natural.

Kasumigaoka Utaha skillfully portrays the sweet moments of ordinary couples, making it feel as if she witnessed them firsthand, creating a vivid and evocative narrative.

Combined with Eriri's artwork, the emotional impact is elevated to another level.

However, Kobayashi Sora always felt a vague unease in her heart, as if she had overlooked something.

"Are you still worried about the script?" Kato Megumi offered a grape to Kobayashi Sora's lips.

"Hmm." Kobayashi Sora ate a grape. "I'm a little uneasy."

"Could he be making things up?" Kato Megumi wondered. "Those kinds of things often happen in TV dramas, they're just deliberately mysterious and trying to confuse people."

“That possibility cannot be ruled out.” Kobayashi Sora nodded, flipping through the printed papers. “The problem is that compared to his interference, my unease is more serious. I feel like I’m overlooking something.”

“That’s true,” Kato Megumi tilted her head. “But aren’t you the producer? Even if there are problems with the script, there are other people who can help.”

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora's gaze paused.

This is it.

He's the producer, and he's in charge of the schedule.

Content review is the responsibility of the supervisor.

He finally found the part he had overlooked.

Executive Producer: Tomoya Aki

He hasn't given any feedback since the script was given to him.

"Hiss..." Kobayashi Sora took a deep breath.

Because Aki Tomoya had previously performed so poorly, Kobayashi Sora no longer had any expectations for him and even ignored him completely.

With so many things piling up these past few days, I didn't even notice that Aki Tomoya hadn't given any feedback on this matter.

The growing unease stemmed from Aki Tomoya's silence.

"You're amazing!" Reminded by Kato Keiichi, Kobayashi Sora immediately reacted and kissed Kato Keiichi on the cheek.

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi raised her hand and stuffed another grape into his mouth. "You're not being honest."

"It was beyond my control," Kobayashi Sora explained.

Have you ever tried to restrain yourself?

"No."

"Bad guy."

"On the other hand," Kobayashi Sora asked rhetorically, "have you ever restrained yourself?"

"Yes," Kato Megumi nodded.

"what?"

Kato Megumi looked away. "Now."

That means... Kobayashi Sora reacted for a moment and instantly understood.

"Mmm..." The girl's soft moan turned into a gentle upward murmur, her joy rising from the corners of her mouth to her eyebrows.

Her large, watery eyes reflected Kobayashi Sora's satisfied face, and Kato Megumi said softly, "The grapes seem a little sour."

"Ok?"

"I've washed it, so I'll give it to you to eat first." Kato Megumi's lips moved slightly. "And then you just do this..."

"What?"

"Bad guy."

As dusk fell, Kobayashi Sora escorted Kato Megumi home.

Actually, if we discussed it, Kato Megumi would stay too.

But Kobayashi Sora didn't want to put her in a difficult position.

After leaving Kato Megumi's house, Kobayashi Sora did not head towards her own home.

After being reminded by Kato Megumi, he finally understood the source of his unease.

Now, he needs to resolve this unease.

After ringing the doorbell several times without any response, Kobayashi Sora was about to take some necessary action.

The door opened.

"Ah, Kobayashi." Michiru Hyodo was a little surprised, then her expression brightened with delight. "That's great!"

"Clothes." Kobayashi Sora shielded her eyes with her hand. "It's quite cold."

Michiru Hyodo was dressed in her usual cool and refreshing style.

Hmm... that's too refreshing.

"Let's not talk about that now, come in quickly!"

"...Please put on some clothes first, then explain the situation."

"You're really awkward!" Michiru Hyodo found Aki Tomoya's shirt and put it on, then led Kobayashi Sora into the room and found Aki Tomoya.

"Waaah...waaah, ah...waaah...waaah...!"

So Kobayashi Sora then met Aki Tomoya, who looked like Nobita Nobi who had been bullied by Gian.

"Waaaaaah...hiccup...uh...uh waaaaah..." Aki Tomoya was crying so hard he even hiccuped. Seeing Kobayashi Sora, he greeted her with a long face, "Hi...you're here?"

“I should have reminded you,” Kobayashi Sora said, frowning, “Don’t watch it with a fan’s mindset. Remember your role as producer and find any problems in the script.”

"I know that... but..." Aki Tomoya's dark circles were very obvious, clearly indicating he'd been staying up late a lot lately. "...Senpai's script..."

"I'll continue pushing the game's development forward. You review the subsequent scripts and provide timely feedback," Kobayashi Sora repeated what she had said before. "You agreed to that back then, right?"

"I......"

“So you’ve been crying these past few days.” Michiru Hyodo said bluntly, “Alan, that’s not right.”

Michiru Hyodo is a rather easygoing person, but she also frequently communicates well with her teammates during the composing process.

Hyodo Michiru said what Kobayashi Sora wanted to say, leaving Kobayashi Sora with nothing to say.

"Alright, let's get to the point." Kobayashi Sora suppressed her useless emotions. "How's the script?"

"That's awesome!"

"There are no major red flags or content that would easily annoy players, right?"

"Of course!" Aki Tomoya nodded vigorously.
