How to raise a random guy's wife

"If you're sleepy, just take a nap." Kobayashi Sora gently patted Kobayashi Megumi. "Don't force yourself to stay awake."

"But I feel like I'll gain weight if I eat and then sleep."

"No, the key is eating, not sleeping," Kobayashi Sora explained. "As long as you keep exercising, it's the same whether you sleep right after eating or a little later."

"Then let's sleep together."

"Okay~" Kobayashi Sora picked up Kobayashi Megumi and walked into the bedroom.

"Mmm~" Kobayashi Megumi snuggled into Kobayashi Sora's arms from under the covers, making muffled sounds.

Kobayashi Sora hugged the languid Kobayashi Megumi and patted her back gently.

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora asked in confusion, "Weren't we going to sleep?"

"I suddenly remembered something." Kobayashi Megumi rubbed her little feet together. "Doesn't metabolism slow down when you're asleep? That's bad for digestion."

"really."

"Moreover, I've heard that digestion is faster when sitting than when lying down."

"Okay~" Kobayashi Sora sat up against the pillows and let Kobayashi Megumi sit in her lap. "Shall we rest like this for a while?"

"Honey~"

"Ok?"

Are you hungry?

"Just finished eating."

Are you cold?

"You feel warm."

"Well..." Kobayashi Megumi blinked, "would you like to exercise a bit?"

As the saying goes, having enough to eat and wear is good.

Kobayashi Sora kissed the thin layer of fragrant sweat on Kobayashi Megumi's nose and reached out to tidy up the damp strands of hair that were clinging to her face, wet with sweat.

"That way I won't have to worry about gaining weight."

"Actually, being slightly chubby is fine as long as you're healthy."

"I don't believe you." Kobayashi Megumi lightly poked Kobayashi Sora's cheek. "It's just something you say to sound nice."

"Really." Kobayashi Sora rubbed Kobayashi Megumi's little belly. "It's so soft and cute."

"Don't rub there..." Kobayashi Megumi weakly resisted.

......

"All that's left is the storage room."

What should have been a quick cleaning task took Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi a whole day to complete.

Every time she enters this room, Kobayashi Megumi marvels at the richness of Kobayashi Sora's collection.

Although there are many things, cleaning them is not difficult.

Most of the items are stored in glass cabinets; all you need to do is wipe the cabinets down and tidy up the accumulated files.

"Huh?" Kobayashi Megumi spotted something that looked familiar. "This is..."

“That one,” Kobayashi Sora glanced at it, “I’d almost forgotten about it.”

What Kobayashi Megumi discovered was none other than the proposal documents for "White Album 1" and "White Album 2".

That was the original idea I wanted to do, but the story of "White Album" spans too much time, from high school to entering the workforce.

At the same time, the members of the production team, especially Kasumigaoka Utaha who was in charge of the story and Eriri who was in charge of the CG, had no experience in university or society at all. Their work was so poor that it was hard for people to resonate with it.

And so, Kobayashi Sora kept those two scripts sealed away.

"After participating in some projects myself," Kobayashi Megumi casually flipped through the book, "I realized that the proposals you wrote are really good."

"Actually, they're all the same. You're just not familiar with them yet. You'll get better as you write more."

"Now that you're in college, if you wait a few more years, you should be able to finish making these two games, right?"

"Hmm... well..."

"What?" Kobayashi Megumi asked with a curious look.

"I guess you've already noticed," Kobayashi Sora replied while wiping the glass case, "the visual novel industry is now a sunset industry."

“I don’t feel that way…” Kobayashi Megumi replied, “After all, I didn’t know anything about it before.”

"As for galgames presented in the form of visual novels, they have never actually been a popular genre. When the industry was booming, apart from a few exceptions, their sales were still difficult to compete with other games. With the diversification of entertainment options and the high profits of other models, the survival space of galgames, which were already a niche genre, will be further squeezed."

Will it disappear?

"No, that won't happen. There are so many forms of entertainment, and people still play mahjong. Everyone says the industry is doomed every year, but every year there are exciting works," Kobayashi Sora explained. "Plus, production is simple and revenue is stable, so it's impossible for it to disappear completely."

"However, many screenwriters have switched to becoming mobile game writers and light novel authors."

"That's exactly what I mean." Kobayashi Sora explained with an example: "My senior's debut work sold 500,000 copies, while a masterpiece like Steins;Gate took seven years to reach a million copies sold, and that's the cumulative sales of the series."

"Both involve writing plots, but being a light novel author seems easier than a screenwriter, and it's also easier to become famous." Kobayashi Megumi understood those people's choices. "No wonder..."

"By the time we graduate, the industry might look like this, and our seniors and Eriri might not want to make visual novels anymore."

“That makes sense.” Kobayashi Megumi continued flipping through the proposal, her gaze suddenly pausing.

Chapter 431 It's too good!

Hmm...

Kobayashi Megumi had already turned to the next page, but then turned back again.

Just a moment ago, it felt like I had grasped something.

If that's the case, the problem seems to be solved—this thought popped into Kobayashi Megumi's mind the moment she saw that sentence.

Which sentence?

After carefully examining each sentence, Kobayashi Megumi finally found the source of her inspiration.

[By using highly suggestive, targeted options, players are lured into making incorrect choices, leading them to act for a specific purpose, resulting in outcomes contrary to their wishes.]

Things didn't go as planned?

Kobayashi Megumi looked thoughtful.

This somewhat unfair feeling is fine once or twice, but if it happens a few times, players will get annoyed.

unless......

Kobayashi Megumi recalled this somewhat absurd day.

I was going to organize my wardrobe, but...

I was supposed to clean the bathroom, but...

I was going to tidy up my clothes, but...

I was going to take a break, but... but...

"husband?"

"Ok?"

Kobayashi Megumi bit her lower lip lightly, "Don't you find it annoying?"

"what?"

"Just like today..."

"..." Kobayashi Sora put down the rag. "I'm not wiping anymore."

"what?"

"I have to prove myself." Kobayashi Sora grabbed Kobayashi Megumi, "I want you to experience firsthand that I have absolutely no feelings of annoyance."

"really?"

"of course."

"Then I've found a way."

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora was taken aback.

Megumi Kobayashi held up the proposal in front of Sora Kobayashi, "This is it."

"this?"

"After reading your proposal, I have finally found a way to solve the existing problems of 'Liella! Superstar'."

"...Work-related matters?"

"Hmm..." Noticing the disappointment on Kobayashi Sora's face, Kobayashi Megumi hesitated for a moment, "President Kobayashi..."

"Eh?"

"You wouldn't...bully your secretary when she's reporting to you, would you?"

good question.

The good thing about this problem is that Kobayashi Sora hadn't thought of it before.

Now, whenever Kobayashi Megumi mentions it, Kobayashi Sora immediately thinks of it.

As for the answer to the question...

Kobayashi Sora kissed Kobayashi Megumi's fair nape, "Where were we reporting to just now?"

This is a position he is very fascinated by.

Compared to other more direct features, the back of the neck possesses a subtle charm.

This is a position that Kobayashi Megumi rarely sees, but he can see it all at once.

She possesses a captivating charm that she is unaware of.

"You're asking me again..." Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head back, "Were you even listening...?"
