Kobayashi Megumi leaned against Kobayashi Sora, fiddling with his fingers, "It feels so slow."

"Time?"

“Yes.” Kobayashi Megumi gently stroked her still-flat belly. “It’s only been three months. There are still six months to go.”

"Are you in a hurry?"

Kobayashi Megumi pursed her lips slightly, "Yes, I was in a hurry before."

Kobayashi Sora asked curiously, "Aren't you in a hurry now?"

“Yes…” Kobayashi Megumi took Kobayashi Sora’s hand and gently held his fingertips in her mouth, her voice slightly muffled, “It’s been three months already.”

"Ah..." Kobayashi Sora understood, but was still a little worried, "Although... um... it can't be too... um..."

"Ugh..." Kobayashi Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora with a pitiful expression, "It's so slow..."

Kobayashi Sora gently kissed her forehead, "As long as you're careful, you'll be fine."

Kobayashi Kei blinked her watery eyes, happily tilted her head back in his arms, and met his gentle kiss with her slightly upturned lips.

Kobayashi Sora... it feels like I'm blaspheming something sacred.

This feeling is captivating.

Chapter 492 Take Him as the Standard

"It's already so obvious." Akane Akasaka looked at Megumi Kobayashi, who was dressed in maternity clothes, with curiosity, her hands itching to touch her.

A loose pink maternity dress covered Kobayashi Megumi's body, and her pregnant belly could be vaguely seen.

"After all, she's already five months old." Kobayashi Megumi said with a gentle smile.

Machida Sonoko put down the fruit and stared blankly at Kobayashi Megumi.

She seemed to radiate a soft light, like a holy goddess.

So this is what mothers feel?

This thought crossed the mind of the single Machida Sonoko.

Meanwhile, the other single person next to him was moving his hands like he was having a cramp.

When Machida Sonoko came to her senses, Akane Akasaka had already completed a quick sketch in her sketchbook.

"Wow, amazing!" Kobayashi Megumi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Akane Akasaka's drawing skills made her, a novice who had just started learning, extremely envious. "It's so beautifully drawn."

“It’s because the model is beautiful.” Akane Akasaka truthfully expressed her opinion. “Things that are often mentioned only briefly in manga give a completely different feeling when you see them in person.”

“If you’re envious, then change your temper,” Machida Sonoko sighed. “It’s time for you to think about settling down.”

"Why should I change my temper for someone I've never even met?" Akane Akasaka scoffed. "If you like them, great; if you don't, so be it."

"It's because you think like this that you now see others looking on with envy."

“What I admire is the beauty that Megumi exudes,” Akane Kurosaka corrected, then retorted, “Besides, I don’t want to be lectured like this by someone who’s single like me.”

“I already have a little poem. Although I didn’t go through the gestation process, watching her grow little by little gives me a similar feeling.”

"I have Eriri too."

"I discovered Xiao Shi; Eriri was already somewhat famous before you poached her."

"It was because of your misguided exploration that she almost lost the opportunity to advance further," Akane Akasaka chuckled. "Besides, I am the godmother of this unborn child, and I will nurture her with care in the future, so I will have similar feelings."

Thinking about this made Akane Akasaka somewhat excited.

If Kobayashi Sora's intelligence gathering ability and Kobayashi Megumi's communication skills were combined with her creative abilities, this child would definitely surpass me in the future!

"You're already thinking about how to educate the child before the child is even born. You really have foresight." Machida Sonoko thought of something interesting. "Speaking of which, Shi is also the child's godmother. According to seniority, I'm a generation older than you."

“I think Kasumi Shiko probably has a different idea, but you can also be a generation older if you want.” Akane Akane tilted her head. “Aunt Machida Sonoko.”

Being called "auntie" by a woman your own age is definitely not a pleasant experience.

Machida Sonoko was too busy taking advantage of the situation.

"Keep going, keep going." Kobayashi Sora handed over a glass of juice. "We've been feeling lately that manga these days isn't very interesting."

Machida Sonoko and Akasaka Akane are basically upgraded versions of Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

However, compared to students Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, Machida Sonoko and Akasaka Akane, both working adults, have much stronger attack and defense capabilities.

"Don't say that." Kobayashi Megumi gently patted Kobayashi Sora, then looked at Akasaka Akane, "Akaane-nee, I heard you want to continue making 'Chronicles of the Universe XIV'?"

“The previous ‘Chronicles of the Universe XIII’ received a good response. If it weren’t for Malz causing trouble, it could have been even better.” Akane Akasaka frowned as she thought of Malz, showing obvious displeasure, but quickly smiled again. “Now we don’t have to worry about that. I still have a lot of ideas that I haven’t applied yet, so this time I can focus on production without worrying about the timeline.”

"Let's think about it," Kobayashi Sora advised. "Although my father controls the company, we still need to pay attention to the opinions of the other shareholders to avoid stock price fluctuations."

"Even fluctuations are good, I need a game company right now." Akane Akasaka made no attempt to hide her thoughts.

"...Never mind, whatever makes you happy." Kobayashi Sora sighed, "As long as you take care of your health."

"Yes," Kobayashi Megumi said, also worried. "How are you feeling now? Do you go for regular checkups?"

"Uh......"

Machida Sonoko cautioned, "Don't lie to the unborn child, future godmother."

“...I’ll go later,” Akane Akasaka replied somewhat irritably.

Kobayashi Megumi looked helplessly at Kobayashi Sora, only to find that he also looked helpless.

There's nothing that can be done; that's just Akane Kousaka's personality.

"Speaking of which," Kobayashi Megumi asked Akasaka Akane, "how is RER doing now?"

"Huh?" Akane Kousaka was taken aback. "Aren't you the boss now?"

"I've been reading the reports too... but it doesn't really feel real to me," Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "Secretary Kobayashi often gives me reports."

“I know about Sora's report, it’s very comprehensive, but it’s a bit lacking in terms of personnel.” Akane thought for a moment, “Iori is helping with management now… He’s quite capable, and if I hadn’t wasted too much time on other things, I would have handed RER over to him back then.”

Kobayashi Sora: "...Didn't you draw my name in the lottery?"

“Isn’t it wrong to lie to an unborn child?” Akane Akasaka replied matter-of-factly.

"So you were just casual about it before, huh?"

“Iori uses his affability to gather the information he wants wherever there are female employees,” Akane Akane concluded. “While he may not accomplish anything substantial, Iori is more capable than Sora Ao at ensuring nothing goes wrong.”

Machida Sonoko retorted, "Is your change of topic always this abrupt?"

"If you know I'm changing the subject, don't try to bring it back."

"Hmm... let me think, what else is there?" Kobayashi Megumi pondered for a moment, "Right, the second season of 'Liella! Superstar,' and the mobile game."

Her memory has been declining lately; she has to think for a while before she can recall many things.

“Look at them, how understanding they are.” Akane Akane recalled, “The Superstar project is progressing normally. Although I don’t know much about it, judging from the feedback from the channels, the results are good. As for the game, just take Sora Ao’s report as the standard. I wasn’t involved in the specific details.”

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi was a little disappointed, "It seems like RER is running quite well even without a boss."

Kobayashi Sora chuckled, "This proves that the boss did a good job before."

How good is it?

"Just like you..."

Machida Sonoko and Akasaka Akane felt they should go back.

A person in their thirties can't stand this kind of humiliation.

Chapter 493 Learning and Practicing Regularly

Kobayashi Sora gently pressed her ear against Kobayashi Megumi's stomach, holding her breath to listen.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he looked at his wife with a look of surprise and delight. "It seems to have moved a little."

"Oh right." Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "It's like she knew you were listening."

Kobayashi Sora drew a count on a pre-printed sheet of paper: "This is the third time. Adding the ones from this morning and noon, multiplied by three... it's over thirty."

Kobayashi Sora put down her pen and paper and once again pressed it against Kobayashi Megumi's stomach.

"You must be so tired." Kobayashi Megumi affectionately stroked Kobayashi Sora's hair. He wanted to hear her more clearly, but was afraid of pressing on her stomach, so he could only support himself on the sofa in an awkward position. A baby only moves three to five times an hour, and he had been holding on for forty minutes.

"It's nothing," Kobayashi Sora replied. "Compared to you, I'm not tired at all."

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head, as if she was thinking about something.

"So, what does it feel like?"

"Huh?" Kobayashi Megumi was taken aback.

"I mean, when the child moves, what do you feel?"

"Hmm...it feels a bit like blowing bubbles..." Kobayashi Megumi replied, then blinked.

What were I thinking about just now?

Kobayashi Megumi has clearly felt that her memory has weakened considerably recently.

When she went to bed that night, Kobayashi Megumi seemed to have forgotten about something.

When Kobayashi Sora woke up in the morning, she opened her eyes and found Kobayashi Megumi looking at her with a very complicated expression.

How should it be described?

Helplessness, worry, confusion, anxiety...

In short, it's very complicated.

"what happened?"

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Keio pursed her lips slightly, "I was dreaming."

“According to Freud’s theory, dreams are a manifestation of the subconscious, not a prediction of the future,” Kobayashi Sora comforted her. “Don’t take it to heart.”

“But it feels so real.” Kobayashi Megumi still looked at him with a complicated expression. “And… I feel like it’s something that might happen in the future.”

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora asked curiously, "What did you dream about?"

"I dreamt that you and the baby were fighting over milk."
