How to raise a random guy's wife

"Goodbye."

The study door closed again, and Xiaolin's father blushed.

I put down my coffee cup and happily added sugar.

After stirring, take another bite.

"puff!"

Xiao Lin's father looked distressed.

Too much sugar was added.

The amount he added was normal.

In other words, someone had already added sugar before he did.

"You brat..."

Kobayashi Sora, who had just left home after her loan application failed, received a phone call.

"Iori, it's been a long time."

"I haven't seen it yet... it wasn't a video call."

"I think you should call now."

"I think you should have realized that I should have called you."

"I think you should have thought of that too... Never mind." Kobayashi Sora shook her head. "How many people have contacted you?"

"I've made a list, I'll email it to you later."

"Alright, then I'll leave the communication with Malz to you."

"Hey, are you kidding me?" Iori Hashima protested. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who can handle this kind of thing?"

"Hasn't someone already contacted you?"

"They just didn't want to contact you, so they came to me. It doesn't mean I'm really capable!"

"It doesn't matter if you can do it or not, just go ahead."

Chapter 407 Delaying Time

"No matter what, I'm the director of another project now. Why should I have to run around for you guys?"

Kobayashi Sora replied with a smile, "This is a good opportunity for you to redeem yourself. That's probably what those guys are saying."

“They just want to put me, someone who’s easy to control, back on the throne.” Iori Hashima’s self-awareness was as clear as ever. “The problem is, it’s impossible. After all, Malz’s demands are legitimate. Although I don’t know what you’re trying to do, I have absolutely no idea how to convince them.”

"It's okay, I know."

"You know you're going," Iori Hashima said, puzzled. "Why are you making me go?"

"Isn't this giving you a chance to express yourself?"

"Thank you?" Iori Hashima confessed. "To be honest, I don't have the same enthusiasm to go back to RER now."

"Ok?"

“You understand, right? The feeling of working hard with like-minded people is different from scheming against those guys.” Iori Hashima’s voice softened a bit. “Izumi is growing very fast now.”

“If she continues to work with that kind of person, she will grow even faster.” Kobayashi Sora’s voice was cold and pointed.

“Everyone goes through that age, liking someone so much that you feel like you can’t live without them. Only by going through that kind of experience can you truly understand what feelings are like.” Iori Hashima chuckled. “Anyway, it’s all a failure. It’s better to encounter someone who plays with your feelings than someone who plays with your body.”

Kobayashi Sora had previously wondered why Hashima Iori, who understood women's psychology so well, would let Hashima go out to sea and fall deeply in love with her, and even fan the flames and encourage her in various ways.

It seems that the intention was to teach her a lesson while minimizing any serious harm she might suffer.

"I succeeded," Kobayashi Sora replied calmly.

"I've succeeded many times."

"Then I'll leave it to you this time."

“So didn’t I say that? I have absolutely no idea how to succeed.” Iori Hashima pointed out, “You believe in Shizuka and Eri Kashiwagi’s abilities, but you can’t get them to believe in you as much as you do.”

“I don’t need them to believe in Kasumi Shiko and Kashiwagi Eri’s abilities.” Kobayashi Sora had a different idea. “I just need to make them not believe in their own abilities.”

"So why don't you go yourself?"

"I don't want them to lose faith in their own abilities."

"...Is it necessary?"

Kobayashi Sora was silent for a moment, then said, "Sister Zhu Yin's right hand is immobile."

How long will it take you?

Two days.

Iori Hashima clicked her tongue. "It's a bit difficult."

"I have information here about several of Malz's executives' mistresses."

"I can stall for three days."

"Two days will be enough."

The money isn't much, but it's enough.

There's no need to worry about time.

After hanging up with Iori Hashima, Sora Kobayashi dialed Sonoko Machida's number. "Ms. Machida, Iori Hashima will be in charge of communicating with Malz. He will consult you about some information later."

“Over here, Qian…”

"I'm coming over now."

"Well."

When Kobayashi Sora arrived at the hospital, she saw Akane Akasaka, dressed in her pajamas, sneaking out of the ward.

"Are you hungry?" Kobayashi Sora raised her hand. "I brought some food."

“I was thinking that A-Yuan was finally gone…” Akane Akasaka scoffed, “Turns out it was just a shift change for the surveillance personnel.”

"Even if I don't come, you're not leaving the hospital." Kobayashi Sora said, waving to a passing nurse.

Do you know any of the nurses here?

"Her boyfriend went to jail, and I helped her with a little bit."

"You can also bail people out?"

"I went through so much trouble to gather evidence to get him arrested, why should I bail him out?" Kobayashi Sora stopped. "Instead of worrying about others, I should go back to bed and get some rest."

“I have recovered, and staying here is just a waste of time.”

"The cause of your illness hasn't even been determined yet, and you've already recovered," Kobayashi Sora said calmly. "If you really had such a strong recovery ability, you wouldn't be able to go back to your ward now."

"My blood clot has dissipated. I know my own head best!"

"I see." Kobayashi Sora smiled and made a peace sign. "Let's give life a V sign (＾_＾)."

Akane Hongsaka: "..."

"If you can't do it, go back to bed and rest."

Akane Akasaka looked like she was about to bite someone, and angrily returned to her bed in the hospital room, saying, "Shouldn't you be in class? Don't you act like a student at all?"

“Never before, and I’ve already taken leave to get married.”

"Then go and enjoy married life."

"That was my original plan." Kobayashi Sora put down the food.

Do you have any wine?

"Is it going to kill you?" Kobayashi Sora asked back.

"..." Akane Akane reached for the chopsticks, but as soon as she picked them up, they slipped from her fingers.

"Let me feed you."

"No need!" Akane Akasaka picked up her chopsticks with her left hand, awkwardly turning her annoyance into appetite.

Although she spoke fluently, Kobayashi Sora noticed that Akane Akasaka couldn't walk in a straight line. She staggered even for short distances, her right hand was completely useless, and her eyes seemed to be slightly crossed.

After quickly finishing her meal, Akane Akasaka looked at Sora Kobayashi cleaning up the trash and asked, "When can I go back to work?"

"After identifying the cause of the illness and completing initial treatment, and once the condition has stabilized, and with the doctor's permission, one can recuperate at home for a period of time before returning to work."

"Are you kidding me! I've already wasted two days..."

"If you don't do this, you won't have much time left."

"But what if I'm not there..."

"Malts is unable to accept the current project progress and intends to complete the game using existing materials."

“That won’t do!” Akane Akasaka exclaimed, her eyes wide. “It’s almost finished. If we just… if we just postpone the deadline for submitting the source material by three weeks and shorten the time for adjusting the game, we won’t even have to postpone the release date. In the end, it should be them who shortens the time, since we only have three people on our side, while they have dozens of times more manpower.”

"The current Malz would not agree to such a thing."

"That's why I want to be discharged! Just give me one day, and I can extend the deadline by three weeks!"

"To be honest, I'm a little unsure," Kobayashi Sora asked. "Does a half-finished product mean failure to you?"

“It’s even more unacceptable than failure!” Akane Akasaka gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead. “A new work that hasn’t been released has the hope of becoming a masterpiece. But a half-finished product that has been released is an absolute disappointment.”

Chapter 408 Boasting

Players tend to think that new games that haven't been released yet might be bad, or they might be great.

Players will only think that unfinished products are bad and will have no further expectations.

"Don't get agitated," Kobayashi Sora reassured Akane Akasaka. "I'll go and postpone the deadline by three weeks."

"Really?"

Do you remember the first time we met?
