How to raise a random guy's wife

As expected... as expected...

The closer they got to completion, the more impossible it became to ignore the anomalies that Kobayashi Sora had previously discovered.

What should we do...?

With her hands moving non-stop, characters appeared one after another, but Kobayashi Sora's mind was thinking about more than just the outline.

Although there are extenuating circumstances, it's done.

After typing the last character, Kobayashi Sora was about to start checking when she thought for a moment, saved the file, and shut down the computer.

After taking a quick shower in the bathroom, Kobayashi Sora's thoughts gradually became clearer amidst the whirring of the hairdryer.

Let's do it this way.

Entering the bedroom, I found Kato Megumi lying on her side with her back to the door.

The bedroom light was still on.

"Megumi?" Kobayashi Sora approached the bedside. "Is she asleep?"

"She's asleep," the girl replied.

"That was just sleep talking." Kobayashi Sora gently embraced Kato Megumi's soft body from behind. "I'm sorry."

"Hmm...you didn't do anything that requires an apology." Kato Megumi still didn't turn around.

“Those photos don’t include you,” Kobayashi Sora said gently. “It was supposed to be a relaxing retreat, but you didn’t have time to relax; you were always busy.”

"It's okay," Kato Megumi replied. "Anyway, I don't have anything fun to do by myself."

"It's my fault." Kobayashi Sora seemed to see the girls from the star cluster having fun, while Kato Megumi silently took pictures. She pressed the shutter to freeze the moment of their joyful scene, and a look of loneliness appeared in her eyes. "Next time, let's go to the seaside hot springs, not for work, just to have fun, okay? Just the two of us."

"Mm." Kato Megumi turned around slowly to face Kobayashi Sora, then snuggled into his arms and hugged him. "Then it's settled."

Although I've said it many times, but...

"Hui, you're so good-natured." Kobayashi Sora felt all her previous mental preparation had been for nothing. "You forgive me like that?"

"I was a little unhappy at first, but you had to share a room with two girls for work, leaving me to do my work alone," Kato Megumi replied calmly. "I shouldn't be angry, and I don't want to be angry. Now that you've said that, I'm even less angry."

"I'm sorry..." Kobayashi Sora gently patted Kato Megumi's shoulder, "It was my oversight."

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi tilted her head back in his arms, "Thank you for your apology, I'm very happy."

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora didn't react. "Thank you?"

Isn't it usually said that it's okay?

To show that it's really okay, there will be responses like "It's okay, it's okay" and "It's okay."

“You thought this was something that needed an apology, and then you mustered up the courage to apologize sincerely. If I said it was okay, it would be as if your apology was meaningless.” Kato Megumi looked at him earnestly. “But your apology really made me feel happy. I was going to be unhappy for a little while longer, so thank you for making me happy so quickly.”

Kobayashi Sora has apologized quite a few times.

But never before had a response like Kato Megumi's response at this moment given him a strange sense of trepidation.

"benefit......"

"Ok?"

“You always make me love you more.” Kobayashi Sora moved closer to her.

He had a lot to say, but... there was a more direct way to express it.

"Wait a minute." Kato Megumi placed her finger in front of Kobayashi Sora's blue lips. "There's one more thing."

"besides?"

"I've noticed you seem a bit anxious lately, I mean about work." Kato Megumi looked directly into Kobayashi Sora's eyes, leaving him no room to look away. "Why?"

Unlike when she was making "The Cherry Blossom Promise," Kobayashi Sora no longer has a leisurely feeling; instead, she seems to be rushing around as if there's not enough time.

It was alright before, but this time it's even worse.

I have a feeling that this isn't Kobayashi Sora's style.

He focuses more on making preliminary preparations, and when it comes to actual execution, he proceeds step by step in a steady and methodical manner.

But now there's a clear feeling that they're rushing to meet the deadline.

as if......

What are you worried about?

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Kobayashi Sora forced herself to calm down. "I was worried about Sister Zhu Yin."

"Hmm?" Kato Megumi pictured Akane Akasaka's imposing figure.

"What happens if a hero becomes too powerful in a game?"

"Hmm...the other characters are being marginalized?"

“That’s right. If the hero has high attack power, the assassin will become useless. If the hero regenerates health quickly, the priest will also become useless. If the hero has high magic damage, even the mage will be unable to perform.” Kobayashi Sora lowered his eyelids slightly. “If the hero is invincible, then the comrades who fight alongside him are just his assistants. It’s the same in real-world companies.”

Chapter 370 I Discovered

"Sister Zhu Yin's strength is undeniable. This strength has become a banner, allowing her to dominate the multimedia industry, control many companies, and act with impunity," Kobayashi Sora pointed out. "But her strength also makes others pale in comparison."

“But she’s good at using people,” Kato Megumi said curiously. “There shouldn’t be any situation where talented people are not given the opportunity to use their talents, right?”

“Indeed, but her brilliance is so dazzling that it overshadows those around her.” A hint of worry flashed in Kobayashi Sora’s eyes. “What would happen if she fell?”

“Those inside only see Akane's brilliance, not the brilliance of everyone else. They'll think the others are just average, and because their own abilities are being utilized, they'll feel superior to everyone else, and then…” Kato Megumi realized the seriousness of the problem, “And those outside will similarly think that Akane has no capable subordinates, which is a good opportunity to divide Akane’s forces. Other partners will also become less agreeable after Akane falls—wait, isn’t there still you?”

“Yes, and me too.” Kobayashi Sora smiled wryly. “But how do you know if I’m the kind of ‘insider’ you’re talking about?”

"Hmm...because you're exceptionally skilled?"

Kobayashi Sora approached again, only to be stopped by Kato Megumi's finger.

He tilted his head slightly and took the girl's delicate, white fingertip into his mouth.

"You bastard..." Kato Megumi blushed slightly. "Hmm... so... so you want to catch up with her as soon as possible?"

"Even if I can't catch up with her, I still need to show enough strength." The more she learned, the more she felt that Akane Akasaka was too strong. Kobayashi Sora didn't expect to catch up with Akane Akasaka. It would be enough to surpass the others. "At least I can stabilize the situation a bit."

"I will help you," Kato Megumi said, holding Kobayashi Sora's hand. "But..."

"But what?"

“I don’t want to work only for you,” Kato Megumi whispered. “I don’t want our relationship to be…so platonic.”

"That's what I think too." Kobayashi Sora kissed Kato Megumi's finger, which was adorned with a wedding ring. "What 'unspoken rules'... You try to seduce me... I try to seduce you..."

"Mmm..." Feeling a gentle kiss on her finger adorned with her wedding ring, Kato Megumi's eyes welled up with tears. "Couldn't we just... be more direct?"

Kobayashi Sora was waiting for this very sentence: "Of course."

He hadn't turned off the lights anyway.

The bedroom was bright, and soft light shone on the girl in my arms, whose cheeks were slightly flushed.

“Oh, right,” Kato Megumi brought up another matter, “why did you feel she would collapse?”

“Her health is too poor.” Thinking of Akane Akasaka’s condition, Sora Kobayashi frowned. “Smoking, drinking, staying up late, lack of exercise, emotional agitation, irregular schedule, plus high-intensity creative work, it’s already very difficult for her to have lasted this long.”

"Should we try to persuade her?"

“I’ve tried many times, but if she listened to advice, she wouldn’t be herself. She always tries to make the most of her time and work hard while she can still create… or rather, she tries her best to create.” Kobayashi Sora was also helpless. “The only feasible method I found was to lock her in the basement.”

"This doesn't seem easy either."

"The agreement was that if the game my club made was successful, she would listen to me, but..."

“As it turns out, Maltz’s new work is of great importance, so we can’t lock her up.” Kato Megumi recalled Akane Kousaka’s fanatical appearance. “Even if we lock her up, she’ll escape.”

"She'll probably stab me while she's running away." Kobayashi Sora thought the same thing. "The Chronicles of the Universe is too important to her. Anyone who tries to stop her is her enemy."

That was Akane Akasaka's gateway anime.

“However,” Kato Megumi realized a serious problem, “the production of *Chronicles of the Universe* might take a toll on her health…”

"To get worse even faster." This is precisely the source of Kobayashi Sora's current impatience. "Therefore, the pace must be accelerated."

"You need to take care of yourself too," Kato Megumi said earnestly, resting her head on Kobayashi Sora's arm. "What if you ruin your health too..."

"I'm in pretty good health." Kobayashi Sora blinked. "Why don't you get checked out?"

"Hmm..." Seeing Kobayashi Sora's gaze grow increasingly dangerous, Kato Megumi bit her lower lip lightly. "By the way, Kanon and the others wrote a few songs for this campsite... Hmm!"

Before the girl could finish speaking, her mouth was covered.

Her slender fingers hooked onto the bed sheet, and Kato Megumi tightened her grip, clenching the part she was holding into a ball.

The next moment, Kobayashi Sora's large hand burst in, replacing the bed sheet and occupying Kato Megumi's palm.

Their fingers intertwined, their hands clasped tightly together.

"Phew~" Kato Megumi let out a long breath, her little face flushed.

"I just realized," Kobayashi Sora said, gently smoothing Kato Megumi's slightly disheveled hair. "Did you use the same trick that Akane-nee used on Eriri on me?"

First, she used her cute appearance to seduce Kobayashi Sora into losing control of her feelings.

When he was really about to lose control, I changed the subject and talked about something serious to calm him down.

After he calmed down, he began to speak seductive words, tempting Kobayashi Sora to lose control of her feelings.

Just when he was about to lose control, we changed the subject and talked about something serious to calm him down...

The back-and-forth caused Kobayashi Sora to constantly waver between longing and calmness, until he could no longer calm down and was completely immersed in her love.

Just like it is now.

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi looked away, her ears turning red. "Really?"

"This method is amazing, but..." Kobayashi Sora looked at Kato Megumi's slightly guilty and adorable expression, her smile widening, "Have you noticed a very serious problem?"

"Hmm?" Kato Megumi's gaze, which had been shifting away, returned to Kobayashi Sora's face.

"It's just... Eriri can't do anything to Akane-nee, so Akane-nee dared to use such methods." Kobayashi Sora whispered in Kato Megumi's ear, "But I'll do so much... so much for you..."

“Actually…” Kato Megumi pursed her lips slightly, “I’ve discovered it.”

Ok?
