How to raise a random guy's wife

“That’s not what I meant…” Kato Megumi puffed out her cheeks slightly, then her eyes shifted, “Oh right, I did have designs on you back then.”

She pinched Kobayashi Sora's chin. "Now that I've succeeded, how do you feel?"

This time it was Kobayashi Sora's turn to look away. "Well... congratulations?"

Kato Megumi smiled and said, "Just congratulating me?"

"I also want to congratulate myself." Kobayashi Sora composed herself. "Someone is willing to go to great lengths for me and has been working hard until now."

"It wasn't difficult at all..." Kato Megumi pursed her lips slightly.

Mayu Sagara: "......" Should I leave?

This is some kind of high-attack, low-defense offensive-defense transition.

The situation has reversed several times in such a short period of time.

Why do they all sound so similar?

I've heard of couples looking alike, but I never imagined their voices would be so similar.

And can't you show some consideration for others?

There's still a living person here.

He's panting!

Mayu Sagara suddenly realized that she seemed to have made a wrong decision.

The relationship between these two is completely different from the relationship between the brother and those other people.

Mayu Sagara could look down on her brother's primal urges fueled by an excess of hormones.

Yet, in front of Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora, she felt a sense of insignificance.

Insignificant, unnoticed, and simply ignored.

"Stop, friend, stop." Mayu Sagara gestured. "Let's continue, okay? What happened after we met?"

Sagara Mayu adjusted her mood and prepared herself to listen to their long-winded explanations.

We can't just meet once and go home together like my brother, can we?

Chapter 389 Back to the Past

“Oh,” Kato Megumi recalled, “and then I went home with him.”

"I told you you wouldn't... What?" Mayu Sagara's eyes widened. "On the first meeting?"

“No… there’s an important part to it,” Kobayashi Sora said. “You’ve seen my family’s rice cakes before.”

“Yes,” Mayu Sagara nodded, “that cat that’s as big as a dog.”

What a way to describe it... but it's quite apt.

“We saw a stray cat on the street and decided to adopt it. Since I had no experience in raising cats, Hui came to my house to help.”

"I see..." Mayu Sagara breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you two had lived together since you first met."

“Yes,” Kato Megumi nodded, “it was the second time we met that we stayed together.”

Sagara Mayu: "???"

“She slept on the bed, and I slept on the sofa,” Kobayashi Sora added. “That day she was playing games at my house because she was making games and needed to learn about them, and then it started raining.”

Shouldn't you take her home with an umbrella in this situation?

“I had just moved here then, and we didn’t have an umbrella.”

"Find her parents..."

"Working overtime."

"Then borrow an umbrella from a friend?"

“You probably don’t know much about this,” Kobayashi Sora said, shrugging. “I didn’t have any friends back then.”

"..." Sagara Mayu was speechless for a moment. "I mean, you two have just gone from being an old married couple to being an engaged couple like this?"

There's something wrong with this progress bar.

"Didn't any conflicts occur?"

"As for contradictions... I don't think so." Kato Megumi tilted her head. "At most, it's just that we have different ideas?"

"That was the only time."

"Tell me, tell me quickly." Mayu Sagara looked on expectantly. That's right, it's perfectly normal for couples to have a little disagreement.

They argued, then they fight!

"Here's what happened..." Kobayashi Sora briefly recounted what had happened.

"..." Sagara Mayu was speechless. "Isn't this just a stupid couple sacrificing for each other? Is that all?"

Let's at least exchange a few words as a token gesture!

“Even if you say that,” Kato Megumi thought for a moment, “there’s no more serious conflict.”

"Ah..." Mayu Sagara was about to collapse, her brain was trembling.

How can I describe this?

Compared to the raging waves of the ocean, the tranquility of daily life is much harder to describe.

The former describes the surging waves, which makes people understand the rage of the sea.

The latter is not so easy to make people empathize with.

Just like delicacies from land and sea, as long as your cooking skills are decent, the result won't be too bad.

Making excellent scrambled eggs with tomatoes is not so easy.

“Okay,” Mayu Sagara said calmly, “let’s go find Star Cluster first and talk to her about her creative process to see if we can find any inspiration.”

-

"I initially created this song because I couldn't sing in front of others, and it was used to describe my feelings," Shibuya Kanon explained. "Then, after I was able to sing it, I changed the lyrics and found that it was better as a love song."

After all, not everyone has her troubles, but many people yearn for love.

Shibuya Kanon's songs depict her love for singing, but changing them to love between people can better convey her thoughts and allow more people to understand this emotion.

Sincerely

Sagara Mayu listened to the song attentively and vaguely grasped something.

"Kane," Mayu Sagara asked, "Do you have any private rooms?"

"Ah...of course."

“I need a private room,” Mayu Sagara said, then looked at Megumi Kato and Sora Kobayashi. “I need to talk to you one at a time, one by one.”

Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

First is Kobayashi Sora.

Mayu Sagara set up her easel in the private room. "Hmm...where should I begin?"

Kobayashi Sora took a sip of coffee. "I'll do my best to cooperate."

"Hmm..." Mayu Sagara sketched a human body simply. "You said before that you didn't have any friends?"

“Yes,” Kobayashi Sora smiled, “Do you know my reputation?”

“I understand.” Mayu Sagara recalled the information she had found. “Simply put, she’s a control freak who likes and is good at coercing and bribing, right?”

"So I basically don't have any friends."

“So,” Mayu Sagara stared at Sora Kobayashi, “why?”

"Ok?"

"It just doesn't make sense. You're like that, yet you completely change when you're with her. It's like a domineering CEO falling in love with me plot... It just doesn't make sense." Mayu Sagara gripped her pencil tightly. "Megumi became interested in you at our first meeting, but what about you?"

"This..." Kobayashi Sora's thoughts were abruptly pulled back.

Go back to the past.

It's been over a year already.

“I just want to create better works. If you feel it’s difficult…” Mayu Sagara paused, “that would be the best.”

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora twitched the corner of her mouth. "I thought you would say that you would not ask if you felt uncomfortable asking."

“Even when I felt awkward, you still made me draw.”

"That's true."

“Besides, I did this for the sake of the project,” Mayu Sagara said, “I realized there was a problem with my previous approach.”

"How to say?"

“I asked about your interactions and experiences before, but that’s not the point,” Mayu Sagara explained. “I fell into the same mistake again. When I was drawing, I was thinking about how to make the characters cute, but that only scratched the surface. I wanted to understand your relationship, but I only asked about your interactions and experiences, which is still superficial.”

"So, that's the feeling."

"A character's outward cuteness is just a facade. To convey true cuteness, there needs to be a story that evokes the imagination. Your everyday interactions and smooth relationship are also facades. Focusing on the facade will only result in depicting the facade itself." Mayu Sagara points out the key point: "Although your relationship is a beautiful and natural progression, the love in your hearts has long been surging like waves. Before you even say 'I love you,' you've already repeated the words countless times in your hearts—only by understanding this can I depict the beauty of your love."

Kobayashi Sora realized, "So that's why you wanted to talk to us alone."

"Ah... no, that's not it." Mayu Sagara waved her hand. "It's just that if we chat together, I'll be left out, which is pretty annoying."

Chapter 390 Empathy

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

Why didn't Utaha and Eriri Kasumigaoka think of that?

"So, let's go back to the original question." Mayu Sagara steered the conversation back on track. "Why did you have further contact with her? Given your personality, she should have just been an ordinary passerby."

“You’re right.” Kobayashi Sora nodded. “If it weren’t for her, and it were someone else, we really wouldn’t have had much contact afterward.”

Sagara Mayu hummed in agreement, indicating that she was listening.
