How to raise a random guy's wife

“Liar…” Kato Megumi’s lips moved slightly, “I knew this would happen.”

"What?"

“You said you wouldn’t bite,” Kato Megumi looked at him reproachfully with her big, watery eyes, “but you didn’t even take a single bite.”

Kobayashi Sora felt... Kato Megumi was right.

"Wait...wait a minute...no..." Kato Megumi weakly grabbed Kobayashi Sora's clothes with both hands, protesting as she tilted her head back, allowing Kobayashi Sora's head to more comfortably bury itself in the crook of her snow-white neck. "I wasn't biting...you bad guy..."

Kato Keiichi accidentally slipped his hand.

Kobayashi Sora's shirt was ripped open.

"..." Kobayashi Sora paused, "Do you know what the concept of reciprocity is?"

"I don't know." Kato Megumi's ears turned red.

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

"How can you teach like that..."

......

"Ouch." Kato Megumi retaliated against Kobayashi Sora's previous behavior with a light touch, "It's all your fault, I have to wash it all over again."

"once?"

"Otherwise what?" Kato Megumi gently poked Kobayashi Sora's face with her fair fingertips.

"How are you? Are you completely relaxed now?"

"Are you doing this to make me relax as quickly as possible?"

Not entirely.

"I knew it." Kato Megumi wriggled in Kobayashi Sora's arms like a little mermaid, found the most comfortable and familiar spot, and snuggled up with him on the sofa. "At first I had some ideas, but the more I thought about it, the more my mind went blank."

“Your performance doesn’t seem like it,” Kobayashi Sora adjusted the bath towel to prevent Kato Megumi from catching a cold, hugging her arms a little tighter. “Your logic is clear, your thinking is organized, and you have quick wit. You clearly came prepared.”

"really?"

“Of course,” Kobayashi Sora added. “I didn’t say a word from beginning to end, so I was able to listen better. To be honest, there were several questions that made me want to argue back, but you defused and countered them with ease, defused the tension, avoided the traps, and answered the questions.”

Kato Keisai didn't believe his praise, saying, "It's not as good as you make it out to be." Then he kissed him on the cheek.

“The logic is this: if I could handle those problems the way you do, then I should be able to point out your problems.” He stated his thoughts honestly. “But I can’t learn your gentle yet powerful approach. We’re on different tracks, so in my opinion, your approach is really impressive.” Kobayashi Sora was good at and used to using a confrontational approach.

Although he became less radical after meeting Megumi Kato.

However, when working, when Kato Megumi is not around, the sharpness that is usually hidden because of Kato Megumi becomes even more piercing.

He couldn't learn Kato Megumi's gentle yet powerful and precise way of dealing with situations.

This feeling is somewhat similar to Eriri watching Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Because of her own weak screenwriting skills, Eriri felt that Kasumigaoka Utaha was incredibly talented when she saw that she could write so many interesting plots in such a short time.

But is there a problem with Kasumigaoka Utaha's storyline?

Naturally there is.

It's just that Eriri, who can't come up with a plot, would hardly notice.

"Thinking back now..." Kato Megumi whispered in Kobayashi Sora's ear, "The things you said back then have all come true."

Upon their first meeting, after learning about Kato Megumi's situation, Kobayashi Sora asked her if she wanted to try making some changes.

Kato Megumi countered with:

"Do you want to help me change, or do you need help, or are you just in the same boat?"

"I can't tell." At that time, Kobayashi Sora truthfully replied, "It should be all three."

“Now I’ve changed,” Kato Megumi said, tracing circles on Kobayashi Sora’s chest with her fair fingers, “and I’m your secretary again.”

"However, 'feeling the same way' isn't quite the right word." Kobayashi Sora thought of a better description, "'Sharing a bed'?"

"It's about sharing joys and sorrows."

Chapter 323 A Little Hard Work

Kobayashi Sora had a different idea: "Where is it bitter?"

"Hard work is still hard work."

“That’s why I didn’t want you to work too hard,” Kobayashi Sora said, playing with Kato Megumi’s hair. “It’s not too late to back out now.”

"You don't want me to work too hard?" Kato Megumi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Seeing how hard you've worked makes my heart ache."

"fraud."

"Eh?"

"You were clearly very happy when I was working hard."

“No way…” Kobayashi Sora said, then suddenly realized, “Don’t learn from Eriri.”

"Who do you think I became like this because of?" Kato Megumi pinched Kobayashi Sora's ear. "The culprit dares to say such things..."

"No...this is different."

“Same.” Kato Megumi blinked her big, watery eyes, her warm breath lingering in Kobayashi Sora’s ear. “I like to work hard for you, just like you like to work hard for me.”

"How much harder do you want me to work?"

"Mmm..." Kato Megumi responded softly, putting her arms around Kobayashi Sora's neck and whispering in his ear, "Actually, you don't have to wait until my birthday."

"I want to give you a perfect wedding." Kobayashi Sora gently stroked Kato Megumi's soft hair. "On your birthday, on the day we officially become husband and wife, I want to personally help you put on your wedding dress, and then..."

Kato Megumi bit her lower lip. The future Kobayashi Sora described filled her with longing, but... "That would get the wedding dress dirty."

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora was taken aback. "Did you skip a step?"

Kato Megumi's face turned bright red. "...It's all your fault."

Is it my fault?

"Is it my fault?"

"It's my fault." Kobayashi Sora bravely admitted her mistake.

"So I have to punish you."

"There's a punishment?"

"I'll punish you with a little hardship," Kato Megumi whispered, repeating, "A little... a little... a little..."

-

"No?!" Eriri looked at Kato Megumi in surprise. Unable to withstand Eriri's endless questioning, Kato Megumi finally confessed to her.

"Hmm." Kato Megumi nodded gently, her gaze wandering over Eriri's works in the studio.

Akane Kousaka has already given her some materials, and she has been working on the initial character design recently.

Why?

"Because they wanted to give me the perfect wedding."

"Wait a minute." Eriri took out her phone. "Come here now, right now."

"Hmm?" Kato Megumi looked at Eriri with a puzzled expression.

Then the doubts were quickly resolved.

Kasumigaoka Utaha arrived at Eriri's house.

“So…” Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at Eriri, “you’d better be busy.”

"This is a big deal." Eriri said seriously, "The subject we've always thought we were researching isn't actually the subject."

“That is to say…” Kasumigaoka Utaha set her sights on Kato Megumi.

“That’s what I mean.” Eriri nodded.

"Um..." Kato Megumi couldn't bear the two's reproachful gazes. "Did I do something wrong?"

"It's precisely because we didn't do anything that we made a mistake," Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed, rubbing her forehead. "It was all for nothing."

"Eh?"

"Simply put, in order to work together better in the future, Shiyu and I want to get to know each other better first."

"Getting used to each other..." Kato Megumi's thoughts drifted uncontrollably for a moment, but she quickly pulled them back.

"So we chose a theme and wanted to create a short story. I wrote the script and she did the illustrations."

This adjustment period... Kato Megumi nodded, "And then?"

“Then we need to choose a theme.” Eriri looked at Megumi Kato. “We’ll choose one that’s nearby.”

"what?"

"It tells a shameless story about a man and a woman," Kasumigaoka Utaha said frankly. "Anyway, it's illustrated by Kashiwagi Eri, so it's okay if it's a bit explicit."

Kato Megumi instinctively covered her chest. "Will you draw me and Sora?"

Eriri waved her hand, "Of course not, she's an original character, but we'll take some inspiration from her everyday life details."

Kasumigaoka Utaha added, "Neither of us has any experience, so in order to pursue realism, we'll learn from you guys."

"That's why Eriri kept asking..."

“Because you haven’t said anything,” Eriri sighed, “we’ll just have to observe it ourselves.”

"I was quite happy at first, and I discovered little details, like the subtle changes in the interaction between the two of us after taking that step..." Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her leg in frustration, "but now I realize that it was all an illusion, and all our previous efforts were in vain."

"Ah... I'm sorry?"

"Don't use questions when apologizing..." Eriri complained, "It's really annoying."

"Because I'm not sure if it was my fault, and just to be on the safe side..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed, "That's the annoying part."
