How to raise a random guy's wife

Having grown accustomed to the old family dynamics, Kobayashi Sora didn't have any intention of making any rash changes.

After all, this model is stable and efficient.

So he treated others the way his parents treated him, observed their reactions and how they differed from his own, and then watched the final outcome.

If others don't follow his arrangements and the outcome is good, he can try to change his family dynamics.

If others don't follow his arrangements and the outcome is not good, then he doesn't need to change anything.

Make bold assumptions, verify them carefully.

That's roughly the feeling.

wrong.

Kobayashi Megumi discovered the problem.

“If that’s the case…” Kobayashi Megumi said curiously, “He probably wasn’t this capable at the beginning, and basically no one listened to him. The outcome might have been mixed. He should have realized that other family models weren’t bad either—why is it now…”

“This brings up another issue,” Xiaolin’s mother sighed. “When the other party resists and the outcome is bad, he believes that his family model is correct.”

"What if the other party's resistance to the arrangement leads to a better outcome?"

He believed it was his fault for not making proper arrangements.

“Ah…” Kobayashi Megumi thought about it and could understand. After all, Kobayashi Sora was imitating her parents’ arrangements and plans. As a minor, her goal was to become an adult. When problems arose, her first thought was that she was not as good as her parents.

However, if that happens, it becomes...

“It’s a vicious cycle,” Xiaolin’s mother summarized. “If the resistance doesn’t go well, he thinks his family model is correct; if the resistance goes well, he thinks he didn’t do a good job and will try harder next time. When the next result comes out, he continues this process.”

Kobayashi Megumi clarified Kobayashi Sora's train of thought.

Make a plan → Assign others → They follow the instructions → Your family model is correct;

Making a plan → Assigning tasks to others → The other party resists the arrangements → This leads to a worse outcome → My family pattern is correct;

Making a plan → Assigning tasks to others → The other party resists the assignment → This leads to a better outcome → I didn't plan things out properly → I strive to improve myself → Make a better plan → Assign tasks to others...

As this vicious cycle continued, Kobayashi Sora's plans became increasingly sophisticated, his ability to manage others improved, and the number of people who listened to him grew.

There was virtually no resistance.

Then he wanted to test his family pattern, so he kept provoking the other person's emotions, trying to arouse their resistance and help him test his family pattern.

This eventually led to his unique behavioral pattern: making elaborate plans, setting demands on others, and stimulating their nerves and emotions in anticipation of their resistance.

This is... staying true to one's original aspiration.

Kobayashi Sora's rebellious phase continued.

until......

Kobayashi Megumi pursed her lips and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. "Even Sora Aoi can be clumsy like this."

“Generally speaking,” Xiaolin’s mother pointed out, “others would think he’s sick.”

"It's alright..." Kobayashi Megumi thought for a moment, "It's quite cute."

"I don't really feel that she's cute," Kobayashi's mother said with a smile, "but she is definitely lucky."

"Ok?"

“Because he has always been very obedient, we didn’t notice any problems until it was too late.” Xiaolin’s mother held Xiaolin Hui’s hand. When a child has problems, the parents are naturally the most worried. “It’s really too difficult for someone like him to meet someone suitable and fall in love with her. Thankfully, you are here.”

This is what Kobayashi's mother said at the very beginning, and now she's saying it again, giving Kobayashi Megumi a new understanding.

"Me too," Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "Meeting him was my good fortune."

“If he bullies you, come to Mommy, and I’ll deal with him.”

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi thought for a moment. Kobayashi Sora often bullied her, but it seemed like she couldn't tell her mother about that kind of bullying.

Kobayashi's mother noticed something was wrong with Kobayashi Megumi's expression. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Kobayashi Megumi responded, trying to change the subject, "By the way, how did Dad and Mom meet?"

"Oh..." Xiaolin's mother looked on with a reminiscing expression. "I had just started college when I met him. I thought he was a junior high school student, so I took special care of him."

"A relationship between an older woman and a younger man..." Kobayashi Megumi nodded.

"Then, when I was a sophomore, he graduated."

Kobayashi Megumi: "...?"

"Later I asked him why he didn't tell me sooner, and he said he wanted to give me a surprise, and then he proposed."

Although it's just a few simple sentences, I feel that if Kasumigaoka Utaha were given the task, she could write at least three volumes.

"Although I've made many plans, thinking about it now, I realize I really need to learn some parenting experience first." Kobayashi's mother looked at Kobayashi Megumi, "So when are you planning to have children, and how many do you want?"

"Hmm... I haven't decided yet." Kobayashi Megumi's gaze drifted into the distance.

My child...

It was already evening when I left home.

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi were carrying quite a few things, some for them and some for Kobayashi Megumi's parents.

"husband."

"Ok?"

How many children do you want?

"Eh?"

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Megumi was a little surprised. "You didn't plan this out?"

"Well..." Kobayashi Sora composed herself, "I have thought about this."

"Then?"

"I originally wanted to make a plan, but then I felt it wasn't necessary."

"why?"

"Well... I don't have much confidence when it comes to raising children," Kobayashi Sora confessed. "I have absolutely no idea what my child will be like or how he will grow up. The thought that my every move will have an unknown impact on the unknown future of another life makes me a little panicked."

Chapter 420 Two Extremes

Kobayashi Megumi nodded, "Now that you mention it, I'm starting to panic too."

“Right? There are too many variables.” Kobayashi Sora explained slowly, “I don’t want my child to get hurt, but I also want my child to have freedom. I want my child to be upright and brave, but I don’t want my child to be slandered. The education they receive, the people they come into contact with, the things they experience…”

So, you don't want children?

"No, I really want a child."

"what?"

"The things I'm encountering now, the things I can't plan for, are all good things," Kobayashi Sora smiled. "Like meeting you, and falling in love with you. I feel uncertain about the future of our child, and this uncertainty makes me even more excited. However..."

Kobayashi Megumi chimed in, "Before that, we should study hard and prepare properly, right?"

“That’s right.” Kobayashi Sora smiled even more broadly. “My wife understands me best.”

“Okay then,” Kobayashi Megumi smiled even more broadly, “Let’s practice beforehand.”

"practise?"

Back home, Kobayashi Sora looked at the pacifier Kobayashi Megumi offered her, "Hmm... this doesn't seem quite right, does it?"

"Really?" Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head. "Good girl, ah~"

Kobayashi Sora: "...Ah."

-

"Oh my~" Kato's mother opened the door. "Isn't this Megumi Kobayashi?"

"Mom~" Kobayashi Megumi protested softly.

The fact that Mom named names like that clearly had a deeper meaning.

"Hello, Mother-in-law," Kobayashi Sora greeted politely.

“You always bring so much stuff when you come. Come in quickly.” Kato’s mother invited the two into the house.

"Greetings, Father-in-law." Kobayashi Sora handed over the gift box. "This is the wine my father asked me to bring."

"Hmm." Kato's father remained silent as always. "Sit down."

"Megumi," Kato's mother called out, "would you like to come help me in the kitchen?"

"I'll help too." Kobayashi Sora, who had just sat down, stood up again.

"Good girl." Kobayashi Megumi poked Kobayashi Sora back with one index finger.

She blinked and gave Kobayashi Sora a wink.

Ah... Kobayashi Sora understands.

This needs to be discussed separately.

Kato's father: "......"

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

Kato's father: "......"

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

Hmm... this counts as a good exchange?

After a long pause, Kato's father finally spoke, "Work..."

"..." Kobayashi Sora waited for a while, but Kato's father didn't say anything more.

Just those two words?

Without Kato's mother's help with translation, the difficulty of communication increased dramatically.

Kato's father only said two words, and Kobayashi Sora could only elaborate on those two words.

"After some changes, RER is generally on a stable and positive trajectory. Although Zhu Yin is currently unable to complete her creative work due to health reasons, the accumulated works cannot be managed by RER in the short term." Kobayashi Sora's thoughts are clear. "Currently, the Superstar project that Megumi and I are in charge of is gaining increasing influence. The five of us already have many fans on video websites, and we will gradually appear on more mainstream media to expand our influence. RER can also use this opportunity to complete its transformation from a club to a company, and finally to a platform. Megumi is growing very fast and can now handle a lot of work independently. She also has a stronger affinity than me. In the future, I will basically exist as her support and assistant."
