How to raise a random guy's wife

Character design sketches with a backstory and those without are completely different concepts.

This isn't a subjective feeling like metaphysics, but rather a difference in details.

For example, although both Hazuki Ren and Arashi Chisato are dancers, Hazuki Ren, who studies ballet, has a more upright posture than Arashi Chisato.

The accumulation of these small omissions led to a qualitative change through quantitative change.

Although there are differences in clothing and appearance, I still feel that the characters are not well-developed.

In other words, Mayu Sagara has made the same mistake as before...

“They’re all so cute,” Kato Megumi tilted her head. “Just as cute as her previous works.”

“…That’s pointless,” Mayu Sagara sighed. “Still not working?”

Kobayashi Sora couldn't blame Sagara Mayu, since she hadn't had any further contact with the star cluster members.

Of course, she should have contacted Kobayashi Sora or Kato Megumi before creating these illustrations, expressing her desire to meet the Star Cluster members.

Instead, she locked herself away and started drawing by herself.

This is a result of her lack of experience in business collaborations, coupled with the influence of ingrained thought patterns.

This is a major taboo in cooperation.

“It’s not your fault. After all, it was created based on the information provided.” Kato Megumi smiled. “You can already create such adorable character designs. After you get to know the Star Cluster members better, you’ll definitely be able to draw even better illustrations.”

"Oh yeah! You can do it this way too." Mayu Sagara suddenly realized, "Now... um, how should I find them?"

“This is our job description. Just tell us what you want, and we’ll arrange it for you.” Kato Megumi blinked. “Business collaborations are about you doing a little and me doing a little. If you’re expected to do everything… then we can do nothing except share the fruits of your labor.”

"I've never done any business collaborations before... I'll remember that!"

"In that case, if you have time recently, we can make arrangements," Kato Megumi reminded her. "There's no rush. You haven't had a proper rest for several days, have you? Contact us again after you've had some rest."

Thus, the matter concerning Mayu Sagara achieved a preliminary result.

Kobayashi Sora barely said a few words.

"What's wrong?" Kato Megumi shook Kobayashi Sora's hand, who had been staring at her.

"It's nothing, I just felt..." Kobayashi Sora recalled what had just happened, "My wife is amazing."

Although Kobayashi Sora had recognized Kato Megumi's leadership abilities long ago, she was still somewhat surprised by how quickly she had grown.

Kato Megumi smiled as she received Kobayashi Sora's praise.

I want him to experience the same joy.

"Honey," the girl whispered in Kobayashi Sora's ear, "you're amazing."

Chapter 343 Let's shake hands

Kobayashi Sora felt provoked. "Today..."

"Not today." Kato Megumi said sternly, "We agreed on this beforehand."

Indeed, after discovering that Kobayashi Sora had become weak, Kato Megumi stopped his previous unrestrained antics.

"Tomorrow...it can only be tomorrow." Kato Megumi added, blushing. "You have to work hard today, Takagi-san's new volume isn't finished yet, is it?"

"I haven't had any inspiration lately..."

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi thought for a moment, "Wait for me at home, okay?"

"Eh?"

At home, Kobayashi Sora was holding a rice cake and staring at the screen.

How should I put it?

It's not that I can't write, it's just that what I do write isn't interesting enough.

Before submitting the final draft, I still need to ask Megumi Kato to help polish it.

However, Kobayashi Sora has no intention of having Kato Megumi polish what she has written so far.

To be honest, it's not difficult to express the content of a comic in words.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri are both improving, and the newly joined Mayu Sagara is also working hard to improve.

Megumi Kato's progress has reached an exaggerated level.

Kobayashi Sora hopes that the second volume, released a year later, will also show improvement.

The dissatisfaction with the current content is actually a dissatisfaction with the slow progress itself.

Nian Gao looked at Kobayashi Sora with a speechless expression.

That's enough.

Just touch it for a while.

Why are you still touching it?

When you're working, focus on your work.

If you don't work properly, where will I get my snacks?

Eating cat food every day is already tiring enough, and you still make me play with you for so long.

Cats need to rest too, don't they?

The sound of the door opening rang out, followed by Kato Megumi's voice, "I'm back."

Welcome back.

"Meow~" Mochi arrived at the door first, meowed at Kato Megumi, and then went to eat cat food.

That guy is now in your hands—that's roughly the idea.

Nian Gao has worked tirelessly for this family.

Where did you get to?

"The arm-wrestling scene," Kobayashi Sora replied. "Well... the plot outline has already been written, and this is the simplest part."

However, having a brief outline and a defined plot does not necessarily guarantee the creation of an interesting story.

for example......

The protagonist was publicly jilted, wrote a letter in blood to rescind his engagement, and made a three-year promise with his fiancée.

This is a brief outline.

However, expanding it into a storyline that gets countless people excited is not so easy.

The same plot, written by different people, evokes completely different feelings.

“Hmm…” Kato Megumi quickly read the outline, “I see…” Then she looked at the part that Kobayashi Sora had finished writing, “Hmm… wait for me a moment.”

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora watched as Kato Megumi walked into the room carrying her bag.

A rustling sound could be faintly heard, and after a short while...

"It seems... a little small." Kato Megumi peeked out from behind the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped out of the doorway to show the new outfit to Kobayashi Sora.

The white sailor uniform barely covered the girl's body, with a dark blue collar decorated with three light-colored stripes, and her jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

The red scarf softened the starkness of the white short-sleeved shirt, while the dark blue pleated skirt made the red scarf's boldness more subtle.

Sailor uniform...

Kato Megumi found her sailor uniform from her junior high school days.

Just like the same story can evoke different feelings when written by different people.

The same piece of clothing can evoke different feelings when worn at different ages.

Before Kato Megumi helped Eriri choose clothes, Eriri usually wore her middle school-era tracksuits.

It fits quite well.

Because over the course of several years, only a handful of parts of Eriri's body have developed.

But... Kato Megumi is different.

Just like she said herself.

It seems... a little small.

What's most obvious is that the skirt is significantly shorter, with calf socks covering the calves and revealing more of the smooth, white skin around the knees, which the pleated skirt can't even cover.

The most eye-catching item was the plain white short-sleeved shirt, which looked somewhat overburdened.

The top, which was originally loose, now feels tight when I wear it.

It vividly outlines the girl's slender waist, simply presenting a beautiful curve.

Even the scarf on her chest was caught in the tether.

Kato Megumi clearly noticed this as well, and reached out and tugged, freeing the scarf from the tight cleavage.

Kobayashi Sora stared blankly, "So...so cute!"

"Just looking?"

"Of course not!" Kobayashi Sora's eyes lit up.

"No...don't sneer!" Kato Megumi noticed Kobayashi Sora's dangerous gaze. "This...this is to help you."

Kobayashi Sora: "..." This is clearly torturing myself.

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi moved a chair over and sat down in front of Kobayashi Sora, with a table between them. After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Kato Megumi raised her hand, "Want to have a match? Arm wrestling."

"..." Seeing the scarf swaying as she raised her hand, Kobayashi Sora understood what Kato Megumi was thinking. "Is she going to help me act out a scene?"

"You need to say your lines," Kato Megumi reminded her.

"Alright." Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, then revealed an arrogant expression. "Hmph! Although I'm not very good at it, it's still doable!"

"Oh—" Kato Megumi drawled, a smile playing on her lips, "The loser has to buy a drink!"

"Ah, okay, okay." Kobayashi Sora continued acting according to the script.

The following plot is that the male protagonist hesitates shyly as he reaches out his hand, realizing that the two are about to hold hands.
