How to raise a random guy's wife

Megumi Kobayashi did not deny the various discomforts that came with pregnancy, but said that with the company of her loved ones, these discomforts were greatly reduced.

“I was worried you might have prenatal anxiety,” Hiromi Yoshinaga said with a sigh of relief. “Now I’m relieved. You two are both wonderful.”

“Pregnancy anxiety…” Kobayashi Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora with a smile.

"It's all over now." Kobayashi Sora's face was a little red.

"Huh?" Yoshinaga Hiromi keenly noticed the anomaly.

Well... let's talk about it later.

-

"What if I also..." Bo Shima looked down at himself, "Oh my god!"

“The specific changes vary from person to person,” Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. “There’s no need to worry too much.”

“That’s true.” Hashima Izumi nodded. “I’ll wait for Shiyu-senpai and see what she does then.”

Then it seems you'll have to wait quite a while...

The thought inexplicably popped into Kobayashi Megumi's mind, then she shook her head. "By the way, how have you been doing at RER lately?"

“It’s great,” Poshima replied. “Because I worked there before, and my brother takes care of me… But RER has really changed a lot now.”

"After all, it's become a company now," Kobayashi Megumi smiled. "But I don't have time to manage it right now..."

"No need to rush," Bodao Chuhai hurriedly waved his hand. "Everything is progressing very well now. It's okay to go to the company after the baby is born."

"I see..." Kobayashi Megumi looked towards the study.

In the study, Kobayashi Sora lightly tapped the table. "What did you say?"

"Things aren't going well in any aspect..." Iori Hashima took a sip of coffee. "Your skills are pretty good."

"Let's get down to business."

"The mobile game development is progressing normally. All materials for the second season of *Liella! Superstar* have been collected, and the game is now in production. Various related merchandise is also under development..."

“Everything went smoothly.” Kobayashi Sora realized the crux of the problem: “So, there’s a variable that could make everything go wrong?”

Iori Hashima succinctly summarized, "Some people at Love Live want to further deepen the cooperation between RER and Love Live through contracts with new members, to add value to school idol activities, improve activity efficiency, expand the target audience, give full play to RER's operational capabilities and Love Live's talent attraction capabilities, and to specialize and cooperate in the commercial operation mainly based on school idol activities. We must follow the objective laws of school idol activities, while also considering the subjective demands of fans and audiences. Under the guidance of rich experience, we must be bold in innovation and cautious in practice, further broaden the future development path of the project, and ensure the project's rapid and high-quality continuous operation."

"They want to get involved in the Superstar project, turn RER into a subsidiary of Love Live!, and gain more control and more profits?"

Iori Hashima shrugged. "You can understand it that way too."

"How did you know?"

"I know six mistresses of five executives."

"Is there a person who has two lovers?"

“No, it’s that two people have two lovers,” Iori Hashima corrected. “One of the five executives is a woman.”

"That means the information is reliable." Kobayashi Sora tapped her forehead lightly. "Around when will the operation begin?"

“Around Christmas,” Iori Hashima replied. “It could be before or after the regional finals.”

Kobayashi Sora frowned slightly.

Kobayashi Megumi's due date was around that time.

“It’s obvious they came with this in mind from the start.” Iori Hashima looked at Sora Kobayashi. “They have the contracts of those four newcomers and can ban them from idol activities at any time. When they added four more, there were some dissenting voices among the fans, but as people got to know them better, many began to accept them. If those four were to withdraw now… and because of the confidentiality agreements, they can’t speak out, then the fans will… and eventually even the Superstar project will…”

This is what Iori Hashima was referring to: everything was progressing smoothly in one aspect, but nothing was progressing smoothly in another.

LoveLive holds a card that can kill the game.

If you don't want the Superstar project to go wrong, RERs must comply with all the demands made by Love Live!

They want more profits, as for the dreams of the star cluster members...

Love Live!, love and concerts.

This is just a name, not the essence.

Do the star cluster members know about this?

"I don't know." Iori Hashima shook her head. "This matter is still in the internal decision-making stage."

"Does anyone object?"

“Of course there are,” Iori Hashima paused, “but those who oppose it are in the minority.”

"Then let them become the majority."

“Let me make this clear beforehand,” Iori Hashima raised her hand, “I’m fine with letting me be in charge, but you need to seriously consider letting me do things.”

"I see."

"So you're planning to do it yourself?"

"No, I don't have the time, the mood, or the inclination." Kobayashi Sora opened a drawer and pulled out a folder. "You'll be in charge of executing this plan."

"You were prepared all along?"

"I've never hesitated to assume the worst of them, and I was preparing when the new members joined," Kobayashi Sora sneered. "They probably haven't discovered... the major flaw in the contract yet."

Chapter 497 Let it go

Kobayashi Sora did not hide the problems encountered by the Superstar project from Kobayashi Megumi.

Although she is on maternity leave, Megumi Kobayashi is the rightful head of RER.

As a secretary, Kobayashi Sora needs to explain the situation truthfully to her boss.

Especially situations like this that can be resolved without affecting Kobayashi Megumi's mood.

"Love Live's advantage lies in the fact that they've been organizing school idol concerts for many years. From event organization to local collaborations, from merchandise sales to album releases, they've accumulated a wealth of experience and channels," Kobayashi Megumi analyzed, leaning against her personal secretary. "To draw a comparison, Love Live is like Akane-nee in the school idol world?"

“There is a difference,” Kobayashi Sora pointed out. “There aren’t many creators like Zhu Yin who are highly efficient, productive, and produce high-quality works, but there are quite a few creators who can produce good works.”

"So... there are almost no organizers of school idol events like Love Live! that have the capability to hold events on large stages." Kobayashi Megumi realized the difference. "A monopoly?"

"Pretty much. Whether it's a subjective monopoly or an objective lack of competitors, Love Live! is the absolute pinnacle of school idol activities."

"That's the confidence they have to threaten RER with contracts. As the absolute leader in school idol activities, they can't do without Love Live!" Kobayashi Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora. "And now RER's Superstar project is centered around the Star Group school idols. If the Star Group doesn't go well, it will be a big blow to RER's development."

Kobayashi Sora nodded, "In comparison, Love Live!, with its own influence, may have lost one star group, but there's always another one."

“If RER were to merge into Love Live!, then everything in Superstar could be replicated in other school idol groups, resulting in huge profits…” Kobayashi Megumi paused, “Can’t they do it themselves?”

“Love Live doesn’t have that many creators,” Kobayashi Sora pointed out. “RER has no shortage of production teams that can produce works, but Love Live, as the organizer of the event, has a relatively insufficient reserve of creative talents. Most of them are employees who are negotiated and dispatched.”

"By bringing RER under its wing, Love Live! will immediately have a large number of experienced creators, and we can start the Superstar multi-line remake right away." Megumi Kobayashi looked thoughtful. "If it fails, Love Live! won't suffer any losses, but if it succeeds, its revenue will increase dramatically. No wonder they're interested."

Kobayashi Sora admired his wife in his arms.

His pregnant wife's eyes flickered slightly, her expression serious. She leaned naturally against him, her small hands unconsciously playing with his fingers.

The radiance of motherhood, the wisdom of a female boss, the gentleness of a wife, and the cuteness of a young girl are perfectly blended in her at this moment, exuding an irresistible charm.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi gently stroked her belly, "The little one just moved."

"Good boy~" Kobayashi Sora's eyes softened as she interacted with the baby along with Kobayashi Megumi.

"Perhaps she sensed Dad's scheming gaze," Kobayashi Megumi said with a smile, looking at Kobayashi Sora.

Is it that obvious?

"It's impossible to hide," Kobayashi Megumi gently stroked Kobayashi Sora's cheek. "Your infatuation with me..."

"Then I don't need to pretend anymore." Kobayashi Sora lowered her head and kissed Kobayashi Megumi's slightly upturned cherry lips.

"Mmm..." Kobayashi Megumi skillfully wrapped her arms around his neck, greedily inhaling his breath, "Good husband~ it seems like it's time for a massage."

"But during this period..."

"It's just a massage," Kobayashi Megumi whispered. "H."

......

"So..." A tempting pink blush rose to her fair cheeks, and Kobayashi Megumi's voice unconsciously became more melodious, "What should we do?"

"RER and Love Live are working together very well now, and if they continue to work together, their future development will be very smooth."

“But Love Live is not satisfied with just cooperation.” Megumi Kobayashi pointed out the key point, “They want to keep RER in their own hands. After all, RER was just a group not long ago. We treat them as equals, but they look down on us from a superior position.”

"So first, we need to make them realize that RER is not something that can be easily controlled." Kobayashi Sora explained his plan. "Later, the various RER production teams will release product trailers one after another and announce the subsequent development plans for RER. Simply put, although we have only just started creating folders, we can start to draw up the picture first."

“That’s a good idea.” Kobayashi Megumi frowned slightly. “But the greater the potential it shows, the more Love Live will want to acquire RER.”

"Therefore, we need to neutralize their threats." Kobayashi Sora explained further, "Among the series of contracts they signed with the newcomers, the most important ones are the non-compete agreement and the confidentiality agreement. If they fall out, the four newcomers will not be able to continue their school idol activities, and they will also not be able to disclose the specific contract details."

“The star cluster will also disband as a result…” Kobayashi Megumi added.

“But there’s a problem here. The names the four new idols use for their idol activities are not stage names, but their real names.” Kobayashi Sora smiled with narrowed eyes. “Even if they fall out, Love Live has no right to take away their names.”

"But the activities of the star cluster can't continue either..."

"Although they can't participate in school idol activities, they can be broadcasters," Kobayashi Sora reminded. "Their character designs belong to RER."

"I see." Kobayashi Megumi's eyes lit up. "If you can't move around in the three-dimensional world, you can continue to move around in the two-dimensional world."

That's exactly what I mean.

"As a result, Love Live! will have to reconsider its plan to acquire RER."

"I'm afraid not." Kobayashi Sora shook his head. "As long as there is a possibility of profit, they will not give up easily."

“Oh right…” Kobayashi Megumi blinked. “As long as their core base remains intact, their actions are just risk-free explorations. Profits are within reach, and if threats fail, they will only escalate their actions.”

"So we need to take down their core base." Kobayashi Sora's eyes flickered slightly, "Take down their base until they're so scared they cry."

Chapter 498 A New Peak

"Building a base?" Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head. "You mean...school idol activities?"

“Love Live! represents the pinnacle of school idol activities to some extent, and it’s impossible to completely destroy it.” Kobayashi Sora raised an eyebrow. “However, I can loosen the soil around it.”

Kobayashi Megumi had a vague idea: "To open up new avenues and gradually encroach on Love Live!"

"My wife is really smart."
