How to raise a random guy's wife

"Is emphasizing 'now' implying something that happened before?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips. "Or is it to cover up the fact that it didn't happen before?"

Let's get down to business.

“Excellent women have to face hostility from other women and ill intentions from men. Let alone those who return to school from the entertainment industry, even regular students who have consistently ranked first in their grade since entering school will be isolated and ostracized, ending up all alone.” Kasumigaoka Utaha gritted her teeth. “Kindness will be seen as weakness, gentleness as feigned innocence, and kindness as promiscuity. Whether it’s voluntary or forced, the final outcome is always being alone. When those scum can’t surpass you, can’t drag you down, and can’t kill you, they’ll treat you like you don’t exist.”

"Based on experience?"

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips and stared at Kobayashi Sora with displeasure. "Let's get down to business."

"The scene is set up, and the female lead is single, or more accurately, isolated," Kobayashi Sora summarized. "So, how do the two of them interact?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't have any ideas for the time being, "Hmm... let's first determine the elements of the male lead."

"Sister and house, parents both busy?"

"This is it. How did you come up with this?"

"Most male protagonists are like this. If male protagonists from different works met, they would probably feel a strong sense of resonance because of their similar families."

"Resonance?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's brushstrokes flowed like dragons and snakes. "How about isolating the male protagonist as well?"

"Why?"

"Fighting and brawling."

"Going a step further, the kind that gets them sent to the hospital."

"Wouldn't that be too extreme?"

“Indeed, there might be problems with the censorship.” Kobayashi Sora considered. “How about we turn it into a rumor?”

Kasumigaoka Utaha followed his train of thought, “Everyone thought he went to the hospital because of a fight, but that’s not actually the case. But no one listened to his explanation, and he was isolated when he returned to school.”

“This approach is much safer, and it also echoes the female lead's situation earlier, serving as a catalyst to advance their relationship.” Kobayashi Sora raised a new question, “Then why was he sent to the hospital?”

"ill?"

“This is a method, but you need to avoid some real-world illnesses and be mindful of the feelings of real-world patients. Ideally, you should create your own original case studies,” Kobayashi Sora pointed out the red line. “Otherwise, you’ll get complaints.”

“Original disease…it needs to be able to drive the plot forward, and it also needs to be reasonable,” Kasumigaoka Utaha pondered, “and it also needs to be like the troubles of adolescence, so that people can resonate with it.”

"Puberty..." Kobayashi Sora snatched the pen from Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand, "What about puberty syndrome?"

"what?"

"The supernatural illness caused by the instability of adolescence varies from person to person. People who are hurt by cyberbullying will develop real wounds, indecisive people will be trapped in a time loop, and people who fall in love with two people will split into two." Kobayashi Sora gave a simple example, "Anyway, it's a hypothetical illness, and you can arrange the symptoms however you want according to the needs of the plot."

“A supernatural illness…” Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated, “Wouldn’t that be too far-fetched?”

"How does it compare to having a different female protagonist randomly appear in the bathroom every time I come home?"

“Supernatural illnesses are more realistic.” Kasumigaoka Utaha made up her mind. “Then the male and female protagonists will be fellow sufferers. Let’s design this illness as something like an urban legend to avoid getting too involved.”

"A wise move." Even if Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't have this idea, Kobayashi Sora would remind her.

“The female protagonist’s illness… gradually disappeared because of being ostracized and isolated.” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s thoughts gradually opened up. “The male protagonist was also ostracized, and since he was hospitalized before due to puberty syndrome, he can see her.”

"Schrödinger's cat?"

"what?"

"Quantum mechanics, simply put, is that results only come from observation."

"That's it!" Kasumigaoka Utaha's speech suddenly quickened. "The heroine can continue to exist because of the male protagonist's observation, but she disappears when he looks away. If you want her to come back, you have to confess loudly, tell everyone that he likes her, and make everyone notice him and her!"

Kobayashi Sora nodded. "Good idea."

"The female lead's character design still needs further refinement..." Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at the character list. "What kind of characteristic should we add?"

Kobayashi Sora's gaze shifted to the side, "How about the pantyhose?"

"Oh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha lightly touched the pantyhose covering her thigh with her fingers. "I thought you hadn't noticed."

"I'm not blind."

Do you like it?

"good."

“No,” Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned, “we need to be more proactive.”

"So the show's starting now, huh?" Kobayashi Sora understood.

"I don't really like it." He paused, "but I really like it."

Will Chapter 32 be on the exam?

"This time it's just right." Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded in satisfaction, pulled out her laptop, and started typing rapidly, "Hehehe...hee hee hee..."

Utaha Kasumigaoka, who was elegant and beautiful before, seemed to become a different person the moment she immersed herself in creating.

Her slender fingers moved rapidly, her red eyes stared at the screen as if photoshopped with a red-eye effect, and strange sounds came from her mouth with drool dripping from it. "Wait...wait a minute! You're not thinking anything of me, are you? Hehehe...it's just...it's just a younger boy thinking about me, I don't care..."

Unconsciously repeating her lines, Kasumigaoka Utaha's black hair seemed to be pushed up by the black aura emanating from her body.

Kobayashi Sora glanced at the time and felt it was about time for her to leave.

"Could you move away from me a little?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked.

Kobayashi Sora ignored her and picked up her coat.

"I'm asking you, can you stay away from me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up and stared at Kobayashi Sora.

For a moment, he had the illusion that he was being stared at by Prajna.

"Ok?"

"Could you move away from me a little?"

"why?"

"Because, it seems like I might get pregnant."

Kobayashi Sora: "How is that possible...?"

“Because, it seems like I might get pregnant.” Kasumigaoka Utaha repeated her line, clearly dissatisfied with Kobayashi Sora’s reply.

Be more proactive...

Kobayashi Sora carefully considered her words, "What name should we give the child?"

“I’m talking about you… hehehe…” Kasumigaoka Utaha was once again immersed in her creation, looking like a madwoman.

Kobayashi Sora put on her coat and glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was still creating.

Without saying goodbye, he walked toward the door.

"Can I touch it?"

Kobayashi Sora: "......" Is it progressing this fast?

"May I touch it?" Kasumigaoka Utaha repeated the line in a sinister tone.

"This is my first time, so please be gentle." Kobayashi Sora gradually got the hang of it.

"Hey hey hey..."

Kobayashi Sora opened the door.

"Wait a moment."

"Wait a couple of minutes if you want," Kobayashi Sora replied casually.

"Seriously, let's get back to the point." Kasumigaoka Utaha regained her composure. "I've run into a problem."

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora closed the door again. "What's going on?"

"What's this about Schrödinger's cat?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression returned to normal, with a slight blush on her face.

"Aren't you a top student?"

"Is this on the high school exam?"

"..." Kobayashi Sora sat down on the sofa again. "Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment proposed by the famous physicist Schrödinger. A cat is placed in a sealed container containing a small amount of radium and cyanide. The decay of radium is probabilistic. If the radium decays, it will trigger a mechanism that breaks the bottle containing cyanide, and the cat will die; if the radium does not decay, the cat will live. To know whether the cat is alive or dead, you have to open the box and take a look."

"Isn't this just common sense?"

"The question is, what did the cat in the box look like before we saw it?"

"It's either live or die." Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. "Is there a third possibility?"

“Yes, that’s the third possibility.” Kobayashi Sora nodded. “The cat is in a superposition of life and death. It’s neither alive nor dead; it’s dead but still alive. Only by looking at it will it collapse from the superposition of life and death into the reality of either being alive or dead.”

“…Hmm?” Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t understand.

Do you know about the double-slit experiment?

Is there an exam?

Relaxed education...

"What happens when a beam of light shines on two slits, A and B, and then impacts the detection screen after passing through the slits?"

"Two bands of light?"

"They are alternating bright and dark interference fringes, which are the result of photons interfering with each other."

"Hmm...and then?"

"What would happen if we changed the experiment so that the light source emitted only one photon at a time?"

“If there’s only one, there won’t be any interference, and there won’t be any stripes.” As expected of a top student, Kasumigaoka Utaha’s thinking is very clear.

"The problem is that stripes still appear after a period of time."

"Eh?"

"Let's call the experiment we just did Experiment A. Now we'll do Experiment B. The only difference is that we'll place a photodetector at the slit, which means I can observe which slit each photon goes through. So what kind of results will we get on the screen?"

"It won't hurt to take a look," Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated. "Stripes appeared?"

"No, the interference pattern disappeared and turned into two simple beams of light."

“Wait a minute…” Kasumigaoka Utaha closed her eyes. “So, the results of the experiment changed depending on whether or not it was observed?”

“That’s the idea.” Kobayashi Sora nodded. “When there is no observation, the photon is in a superposition state that passes through both slit A and slit B. When a quantum superposition state containing multiple paths interferes with itself, interference fringes will appear. In other words, it interferes with itself.”
