How to raise a random guy's wife

“So you’re not allowed to slack off.” Kato Megumi’s attitude was firm. “We need to… take a break for a while.”

"A period of time" refers to...

"I'm going home tonight." Kato Megumi pulled away from Kobayashi Sora's embrace. "You'll sleep alone."

“Okay…” Kobayashi Sora sighed.

"Good girl~" Kato Megumi patted her head, "When you... become stronger, then..."

Kobayashi Sora's eyes gradually turned dangerous.

Sensing danger, Kato Megumi said, "See you tomorrow."

The door slammed shut.

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

fitness!

exercise!

Push-ups, sit-ups, squats...wait, what?

The door opened again, and Kato Megumi returned.

“I’ve been thinking about it,” the girl said, fiddling with her hair, “If you’re home alone… then I’ll have to watch over you.”

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

This plot seems a bit familiar.

-

“The Chronicles of the World?!” It wasn’t until she arrived at the scene that Mayu Sagara finally believed what Megumi Kato had said about Eri Kashiwagi. “Isn’t she in the same club as you? She should be a high school student too.”

"The president's secretary is also a high school student," Kato Megumi said, pointing to Kobayashi Sora beside her. "The president of RER is too."

“You really are the president…” Mayu Sagara looked Kobayashi Sora up and down. “When my brother told me, I didn’t quite believe it.”

“That’s RER. The idea behind RER, founded by Zhu Yin, is to allow talented people to give full play to their talents.” Kobayashi Sora replied with a smile, “That’s how Kashiwagi Eri is, and that’s how Megumi and I are.”

The same thing would happen if Sagara Mayu joined.

However, it's better for Kobayashi Sora to come up with such a thought than for Sagara Shin to say it himself.

As expected, the girl's expression was a mixture of contemplation and anticipation.

Accompanied by images on the big screen and narration by the host, the works and achievements of Huanyu Editorial over the past twenty years were presented to all the guests.

It's a bit like a mobile phone launch event... Kobayashi Sora looked around.

Finally, here comes the key point.

The surrounding lights dimmed, and an exaggerated announcement appeared on the screen: "[Announcement!]"

Then came the major release of new font styles.

Two years have passed since the end of Chronicle XIII of the Global Chronicles.

A New World

A New Adventure

A New Era

[Luxurious Production Team]

[Presenting you with a brand new global timeline]

“You look really impressive,” Kato Megumi whispered in Kobayashi Sora’s ear. “You have such a commanding presence.”

"Well, when we don't have enough material, this is the only way we can do it," Kobayashi Sora said in a low voice. "It's a common tactic."

With limited time, Akane Akasaka spent a considerable amount of time just selecting personnel.

The actual production time was not long.

The audience's reaction was rather lukewarm.

Words and empty promises... forget about it.

If we don't offer something tangible, the guests who have attended numerous promotional events won't be convinced.

[Malz & Hongzhu Planning]

[Setting/Story Concept, Character Concept: Akane Kousaka]

boom!

A wave of cheers swept through the entire venue, and Kobayashi Sora heard the enthusiastic applause overlapping into a deafening roar.

This is Akane Kousaka.

No substantial content is needed; just a name is enough to evoke everyone's anticipation.

“There’s no Eri Kashiwagi’s name on it…” Mayu Sagara sighed. “Well, that makes sense. At times like these, it’s important to highlight the key points.”

What follows is a close-up of the character.

First, there's the classic black-haired youth, who exudes a sense of unwavering determination at first glance.

“I knew it,” Mayu Sagara stared at the close-up, “This is definitely Eri Kashiwagi.”

Although the art style has changed, Mayu Sagara can tell at a glance that this is definitely Eri Kashiwagi's work. The powerful art style is exactly the same as the CG at the end of "The Promise of Cherry Blossoms"... No, it's even stronger!

Next up is the female lead with long blonde hair, also in a close-up.

Then comes the next one, the next one... Each character is a close-up like a headshot, with different expressions and distinct features.

"Something's not right..." Mayu Sagara vaguely sensed something. "Could it be?"

Chapter 339 Shocking and Unconventional

As an otaku, Mayu Sagara is quite familiar with promotional events.

However, I had only watched online broadcasts before, and this was the first time I had ever watched it live like this.

However, no matter where you look, most of the promotional events are similar.

In a character design presentation like this, the full-body illustration should generally be shown.

Both posture and expression should resemble the style of an ID photo.

Moreover, the closer to the later stages, the shorter the display time for each image becomes, and with such a short time, it's impossible to leave a lasting impression.

unless......

"What's wrong?" Kato Megumi noticed Sagara Mayu's expression.

“You must be kidding me…” Mayu Sagara murmured. As an illustrator, she noticed more details but couldn’t believe it. “No matter what… it’s too exaggerated.”

"That's quite a grand gesture..." Kobayashi Sora's memory far surpassed that of ordinary people. The moment she noticed it, her mind began processing the image. "What exactly did Eriri go through...?"

Kato Megumi poked Kobayashi Sora.

“Look closely,” Kobayashi Sora reminded her, “the background behind each close-up.”

"Huh?" Reminded by him, Kato Megumi also noticed the abnormality.

Unlike typical character illustrations, these close-up shots, resembling headshots, all have different backgrounds.

It's like... a jigsaw puzzle.

[Over forty playable characters!]

[A complex and heavyweight plot!]

[Chronicles of the World XIII]

[Scheduled for release this winter]

With the final sentence, the main visual for "Chronicles of the Universe XIII" was finally revealed to all viewers.

The next moment, a noise far exceeding that before erupted from the audience.

The fact that it's scheduled for release this winter is already quite a surprise.

The main visual image, however, is truly stunning.

There are forty meticulously depicted characters in one picture.

The camera moves wildly across the screen, almost arrogantly showcasing the postures of each character and their interactions with others.

That wasn't a concept art or a character pose image, but rather a CG image of a new series of explosions.

By freely cutting and pasting, you can easily separate one CG from forty CG images!

Men and women are talking to each other in the scene, some smiling, some mocking each other, some holding hands, some hugging, and some back to back, but their eyes are secretly looking at each other... It's as if a god has waved his hand to capture a moment in the time of that strange world and show it to everyone.

This is no longer the main visual image.

It can certainly be called a mural.

"Are you kidding me...?" Mayu Sagara stared blankly at the screen.

As an artist, she was even more aware of the difficulties involved.

I used to be a visual novel artist...

Mayu Sagara felt that she could draw the CGs in "The Cherry Tree Promise" if she put in the effort.

And now this picture...

“Because you’re too close, you can’t see their current strength anymore—that’s what Sister Zhu Yin told me back then,” Kobayashi Sora murmured softly. “I was a little unconvinced.”

With so many brilliant ideas in her mind, all of which she wanted Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha to help her achieve, how could she not see their capabilities?

Now, the moment she saw this picture, Kobayashi Sora realized that Akane Akasaka was right.

Such a grand production, with such vividly portrayed characters, requires an excellent and detailed storyline to support it, and outstanding artists to depict it.

Kobayashi Sora wouldn't even dare to dream of such a picture, let alone have Eriri draw it.

“You’re not an artist, so it’s normal that your knowledge is limited.” Kato Megumi held Kobayashi Sora’s hand. “Take your time.”

"Mm." Kobayashi Sora nodded gently.
