How to raise a random guy's wife

[Source: Kasumigaoka Utaha] reiterated using lip reading.

Ah, yes, yes, yes.

Eriri nodded; this was for research.

The source material is just.

"Meow?" Nian Gao looked at the two strange people with a puzzled expression.

What are those two doing?

Soon, footsteps could be heard in the room.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri hurriedly returned to the sofa, their faces showing no sign of anything having happened.

Compared to Kasumigaoka Utaha's excellent acting skills, Eriri was clearly flustered, drinking lemon tea one sip after another.

The door opened, and the two people came out.

Eriri looked up. "Are you done?"

"Mm." Kobayashi Sora nodded.

"So fast?"

Kobayashi Sora: "Hmm?"

The printer made a series of noises, and soon the new script was printed out.

Of course, it's only a small part.

It is a combination of several short story branches.

"Take a look." Kobayashi Sora handed the new script to the two of them.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri quickly browse; whether you're a light novel author or an otaku, quick browsing is a basic skill that allows you to complete the most reading in the shortest amount of time.

"Hmm?" Eriri finished reading it once, then flipped back to look at it repeatedly. "It seems..."

“The sense of incongruity has been eliminated,” Kasumigaoka Utaha chimed in, then quickly added, “or rather, it has been cleverly hidden. Although it’s only a few changes, the smoothness has been greatly improved—how did you do that?”

“I’m the subcontractor.” Kobayashi Sora moved to the side, raising her hands to show the girl next to her. “This is the real hero.”

"No, not at all." Kato Megumi grabbed Kobayashi Sora's hand.

That's right.

What makes Kato Megumi turn the mundane into the extraordinary is her exceptional observational skills and her unwavering, ordinary way of thinking.

In her ordinary daily life, Kato Megumi was able to deliver sharp wit and genuine hurt.

Although she lacks Eriri's drawing skills, Kasumigaoka Utaha's screenwriting abilities, and Kobayashi Sora's overall planning skills, she possesses a keen eye for detail, which helps her eliminate any inconsistencies in the script.

Unlike Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, who have always received much attention, Kato Megumi played a minor role for quite some time.

That is, it exists, but goes unnoticed.

From an outsider's perspective, she can perceive things that those within the story might not notice, more undisturbed.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, I am only in this mountain.

That's roughly the feeling.

While it's impossible to eliminate all the awkwardness, Megumi Kato can reduce it to a level that goes unnoticed.

Chapter 259 Wait for me at the door

Thanks to Megumi Kato's polishing, the script, which was originally a Frankenstein's monster, finally gained a harmonious and unified quality.

Compared to her modeling career and programming skills, Megumi Kato's ability to erase incongruities is truly something that is hard to come by.

It's still in the initial stage. Kasumigaoka Utaha will need to fill in the content, and then Kato Megumi will polish it again. After several repetitions, the script will finally be completed.

Seeing concrete results, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri became even more motivated to continue their work.

The two didn't leave until it was getting dark.

After tidying up briefly, summarizing today's work, and marking the unfinished parts, it was officially over.

After a two-day holiday, classes start tomorrow, leaving even less time to work.

“Hui,” Kobayashi Sora said, “it’s almost time, I’ll take you home.”

"Ah... um." Kato Megumi quickly packed her things and said goodbye to Mochi.

"Today's work went very smoothly," Kato Megumi tilted her head. "If this continues, we should be able to catch up with the schedule, right?"

"More or less." Kobayashi Sora nodded. "Given how enthusiastic Senpai and Eriri are right now, it should be fine."

"Speaking of which... why did you agree?"

"Ok?"

"It's basically combining the two versions into one game."

“A single script has problems, as we just discussed,” Kobayashi Sora replied. “Now, with both versions combined, it becomes a complete script. It’s like the issue of choices. In the previous version, most of the choices in the senior’s script were either life or death, and once you chose a choice, there was no going back, or the plot didn’t change much no matter which one you chose. With both versions combined, we can use the choices to switch back and forth between the two versions, which solves a lot of problems.”

“Not this one.” Kato Megumi looked at him. “You decided to combine the two versions before you even discovered the problem.”

"Ah, indeed."

“At that time, no problems had been discovered yet, so it was okay to only make the first version, or rather, it was safer.” Kato Megumi’s eyes were gentle. “You felt the same way, didn’t you, senpai?”

"Because you came up with a good method."

"But this method is risky; it would be safer to only make the first version."

“But you put forward your own idea, and it’s a very good idea,” Kobayashi Sora gently squeezed Kato Megumi’s hand, “so I’m willing to take the risk for you.”

Kato Megumi's lips curled up. "I know."

Kobayashi Sora laughed, "Then why did you ask?"

“I know, and I want to hear you say it.” Kato Megumi’s slender fingers slipped between Kobayashi Sora’s fingers. “The kind that goes on and on.”

"I'm willing to take risks for you, I'm willing to take risks for you, I'm willing to take risks for you..."

"I've said it so many times already," Kato Megumi shook his hand. "You naughty boy."

"It's mainly because your method is indeed feasible that we've made such great progress and discovered problems we hadn't noticed before," Kobayashi Sora smiled. "Judging from the current results, this risk was worthwhile."

worth.

"I see..."

"However, I wanted to try it before you even told me your method."

"Huh?" Kato Megumi asked curiously, "Why?"

“Because senior and Eriri are creators, their thinking is from a creative perspective, and their goal is to satisfy their creative desires. They hope I can come up with a solution.” Kobayashi Sora looked at the girl beside her. “But you are here to help me and come up with a solution. So even before you told me your solution, I knew that, at least in your opinion, this solution was feasible.”

Kato Megumi, still wanting more, asked, "Is there anything else?"

"So greedy?"

"Anyway, I'm just greedy."

"And also... I'm starting to understand why Sister Zhu Yin had me make games to secure my position."

"Oh?"

“When any work is first decided upon, there are all sorts of purposes. Some, like me, want to prove themselves; some want to make money; some want to become famous; and some are simply driven by interest…” Kobayashi Sora murmured. “But this is the goal we want to achieve after the game is made. To achieve this result, we need the efforts of many people. Before this, most of my tasks in the club involved interim and final results. It wasn’t until I truly started from scratch that I realized many more things that I hadn’t paid attention to before.”

Kato Megumi looked puzzled. "I don't quite understand."

"To put it simply, a watch tells time by the turning of individual gears, and what we need here is just the result of those turns," Kobayashi Sora explained. "But a work of art, especially a comprehensive art form like a game, carries the author's heart and soul in its music, illustrations, and script. Only by recognizing this can we understand the weight of the work and learn to respect it and everyone's hard work—this is the most important thing that as the club president, when integrating various resources and striving for benefits to maintain the club's operation, we must never forget."

Kato Megumi gradually understood, "Both versions of the script were made with my senior's best wishes. Don't you want her efforts to be wasted?"

"I want to make games with you, not just watch you make games. I want to put in my own effort and accomplish something," Kobayashi Sora whispered. "That's what you said that day."

"You remember all of that?"

“I have a very good memory,” Kobayashi Sora said softly. “The idea you proposed is your intention—and it is something I absolutely cannot forget.”

"So, you're taking me home this early?"

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora didn't expect to hear such a reply.

“Normally, after Senpai and Eriri leave, you…you’re always up to no good for a while.” Kato Megumi stared at him with a somewhat stern expression. “But today you brought me back so early.”

Kobayashi Sora suddenly felt like she was facing her homeroom teacher. "This..."

“Because if I stay any longer, you’ll keep causing trouble for a long time.” Kato Megumi stared intently. “But you don’t have that time right now, because the script has been significantly revised, and the production process needs to be modified accordingly. So you want to send me home and then work through the night revising the script and fixing the program, right?”

Kobayashi Sora opened her mouth, but there was no point in making excuses now.

Kato Megumi's observational skills remain as sharp as ever.

"Idiot." Kato Megumi puffed out her cheeks slightly. "If I were with you, you wouldn't have to stay up so late."

"but......"

"Wait for me at the door," Kato Megumi instructed. "I'm going to get my school uniform and a change of clothes."

Chapter 260 Interim Results

"Be careful! Even during safe times, you still need to be careful. What if it were high school..."

Kobayashi Sora didn't have time to hear what Kato's mother said next before Kato Megumi covered her ears and led her away.

“I think my mother-in-law makes sense.” Kobayashi Sora carried Kato Megumi’s travel bag, which contained her change of clothes.

"Ugh..." Kato Megumi's little face puffed up in anger.

"I'm not going to talk about it anymore." Kobayashi Sora gently rubbed her face. "Let's go home."

And so, his free hand was taken.

Back home, the two immediately got to work.

"There are already ten songs..." Kobayashi Sora was on the phone with Aki Tomoya. "So, regarding the script... that's the current situation. I'll send you the revised version later."

"Yeah, I didn't expect there to be such a method," Aki Tomoya replied. "I'm really looking forward to it."
