How to raise a random guy's wife

After watching Kato Megumi leave, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around and opened the door.

"Who's back?" Mother's voice rang out from the living room. "It can't be... Shiyu, can it?"

Kasumigaoka's mother paused for a moment upon seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha.

With gentle eyes, Kasumigaoka Mother opened her arms, "Come into Mommy's arms."

Kasumigaoka Utaha rushed into her mother's arms and leaned on her shoulder.

The soft sobs quickly turned into a torrential downpour of wailing.

Kato Megumi walked to the intersection, thought for a moment, and then chose to head in the direction leading to Kobayashi Sora's house.

On the way, they met Kobayashi Sora.

He walked toward her.

Just like she walked towards him.

Chapter 242 Something's Wrong

"...We were chatting when we arrived at my senior's house." Kato Megumi held Kobayashi Sora's hand and recounted their conversation. "I saw that the lights were on in her house, so I left."

“I said a few more words.” Kobayashi Sora recounted everything that happened in the audiovisual classroom after Kato Megumi left. “My senior’s idea was right. After this incident, at least I understand.”

In the past, Kobayashi Sora couldn't quite understand Aki Tomoya's words and actions.

Now, in this case...

Oh.

"Sky blue".

"Ok?"

Kato Megumi stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips.

chirp~

"What's wrong?" Kobayashi Sora hugged the soft Kato Megumi.

“When I kiss you,” Kato Megumi tilted her little face up, “you kiss me too.”

Just like when I liked you.

You like me too.

Just like Kasumigaoka Utaha's first time pursuing someone, Kato Megumi's first time in love was also a first-time experience.

The result of not having past experiences is that one assumes everything one is currently experiencing is normal.

If I'm like this, others are probably like this too.

But......

But in fact, it's not.

Kato Megumi suddenly realized that her way of getting along with Kobayashi Sora seemed to be the special one.

"Really?" Kobayashi Sora blinked. "I'll try it too."

"You bad guy—hmm~" Kato Megumi skillfully wrapped her arms around Kobayashi Sora's neck, breathing in his breath.

-

Some things happen, but eventually things will settle down.

Game production is finally back on track.

Megumi Kato is in charge of programming, Sora Kobayashi is in charge of debugging, and Eriri is still busy with the original drawings and backgrounds.

The sound of crumpled drawing paper rang out, followed by a crumpled piece of paper being thrown on the ground.

I've lost count of how many crumpled pieces of paper this is.

Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat worried.

The only one who seemed happy about this was Nian Gao, who was having a great time playing with the paper balls.

After completing another section of the script's error checking, Kobayashi Sora wrote down the mistakes she found and only spoke up to remind Kato Megumi after Kato had finished her work.

“Eri,” Kobayashi Sora said carefully, “if you’re not feeling well, don’t force yourself.”

"I can't draw it because I haven't reached the point of being forced to!" Eriri said, crumpling the drawing paper into a ball and throwing it aside.

Oh right, this is a legendary Deathline Warrior.

The closer they get to the death line, the more powerful they can unleash.

“Well…” Kato Megumi said, “It’s also quite important to balance work and rest.”

Eriri puffed out her pink cheeks slightly, "I...I want to finish drawing it as soon as possible."

Kobayashi Sora shook her head. "There's still more than a month left. There's no need to push yourself so hard."

"But Kasumigaoka Utaha has already written two versions of the script!"

That's the problem.

That wretched competitive spirit.

Kobayashi Sora pointed out, "If you approach painting with that kind of mindset, it's only natural that your state of mind won't be right."

Eriri glared at him angrily.

"Speaking of which, I've been playing Mario Kart lately," Kato Megumi changed the subject. "Eriri, do you want to try it out?"

“Let me make this clear beforehand,” Eriri said, shifting her gaze, “I’m very strong!”

Eriri knew she wasn't feeling well and needed to change her mood.

"Then I'll have to ask you to clear the way." Kato Megumi opened the game.

Three players in a multiplayer match can perform very differently.

Kobayashi Sora is clearly a rational player. She maintains a comfortable posture, focuses her gaze, and her entire body is basically only moving her fingers that are pressing the controller.

Kato Megumi, standing next to him, was in a different state, her lips pursed, her body twisting and turning with the car's turns.

As for Eriri...

"Whoa! That's so cheating! How can you throw a turtle shell in mid-air?! Eat my boomerang! Eat...eat...damn it! The invincible star is coming! Ta-da ...

They're quite cute.

This kind of game, suitable for all ages, can always make people happy and relaxed.

The game only ended when Eriri successfully won the championship.

As if she had burned out, Eriri leaned back on the sofa, belatedly realizing, "Ah! The drawing isn't finished yet."

"That's why I said there's no need to rush," Kobayashi Sora reiterated. "Everyone has witnessed your abilities. As long as you adjust your mindset, you can finish the original artwork. There's plenty of time now. If it really comes down to a tight deadline, do you think I'll play games with you?"

"Who needs you to accompany me!"

"If it really comes down to a time crunch, do you think I'd let you play games?"

"Who asked you to give way!"

Kobayashi Sora: "..." The conversation just couldn't continue.

"Eriri," Kato Megumi said gently, "you have other worries, don't you?"

Because Eriri kept avoiding the topic.

In a childlike way.

“Hmm…” Eriri turned her head to look to the side.

That expression perfectly captures what was described.

"Speak," Kobayashi Sora said bluntly. "We've all worked together to get to this point, so what's there to hide?"

He paused. "Or should I excuse myself?"

Perhaps it's a topic similar to a girl's little secret.

"No need." Eriri bit her lower lip lightly. "I...I wanted to..."

She hesitated for a long time, but couldn't bring herself to say it.

Kobayashi Sora frowned, searching her memory. What Eriri cared about, what she couldn't say, what affected her creative process—could it be…?

Kato Megumi tilted her head. "Is this the second version written by you, senior?"

“…Hmm.” Eriri nodded with difficulty.

really......

"The second version has already been rejected," Kobayashi Sora stated calmly. "There's no need to let the second version affect your creative process."

"I didn't want to either! But I've already seen it." Eriri bit her lower lip and looked towards the easel. "Even if I wanted to forget, I couldn't."

When I draw Xunli's happy face, I naturally picture Liuli's sad face.

As a result, I couldn't continue drawing at all.

It was precisely because she couldn't create such a plot that Eriri understood all too well how much effort it would take to create one.

And how regrettable it is to be abandoned.

If we just give up like this...

"So, how about this?" Kobayashi Sora organized her thoughts. "After the first version is completed, we'll start working on the second version—but by then, you should already be in college."

Eriri was taken aback. "Is that okay?"

“Why not?” Kobayashi Sora replied matter-of-factly. “Unless you don’t want to continue being a club member after this game is over.”

Eriri opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to act haughty, but in the end she just let out a soft hum.

Chapter 243 didn't say it
