This awkward personality, shaped by her family environment and personal experiences, destined Kobayashi Sora to have difficulty getting along with people normally.

If many people can accept the arrangements and orders, then the subsequent provocations will be much harder to tolerate.

If one tolerates both, it will be difficult to respond to Kobayashi Sora's expectations and make an effective resistance.

Until Megumi Kobayashi appeared.

She has an extremely easygoing personality; she is calm, rational, amiable, and kind. She is very easy to talk to and always appears calm and composed. She is always conscientious and considerate of those around her.

This easygoing nature is not a lack of independent thought or blind following of the crowd, but rather a choice made after calm observation and rational consideration, stemming from her concern and care for others.

Therefore, she wouldn't resent Kobayashi Sora's arrangements or refuse his requests. She could easily defuse Kobayashi Sora's childish provocations with her easygoing personality, while retaining the ability to think independently, see through Kobayashi Sora's little thoughts, and occasionally deliver a silent blow.

It satisfied both Kobayashi Sora's desire for control and his masochistic tendencies.

Kobayashi Sora would certainly feel comfortable.

Kobayashi Megumi's easygoing personality also resulted in her having a weak presence.

No matter how you treat her, she reacts in pretty much the same way, so there's no need to react to her at all.

This situation continued, causing Kobayashi Megumi to become increasingly inconspicuous.

Kobayashi Sora's desire for control made him want to grasp all the information around him, including Kobayashi Megumi.

The fainter Kobayashi Megumi's presence, the harder she is for Kobayashi Sora to control. The more uneasy he feels, the more he needs to pay attention to Kobayashi Megumi and bring her under his control.

At the same time, his awkward way of getting along with others requires him to understand their situation when making arrangements and demands on them, and he needs to pay attention to their emotional changes when his nerves and emotions are stimulated. Expected resistance is also an important form of feedback.

All of this requires him to pay close attention to the movements of those around him.

From Kobayashi Megumi's perspective, it means that Kobayashi Sora is always paying attention to her.

This is exactly what Kobayashi Megumi wanted.

Megumi Kobayashi drew circles on Sora Kobayashi's chest with her fingers. "I'm greedy. If I feel comfortable, I want to feel comfortable for a little longer... and feel even more comfortable."

The experiences of many days and nights in the past have taught Kobayashi Megumi a very simple truth.

When two people are comfortable together, they will naturally try to make themselves even more comfortable.

"Well... it's just an idea." Kobayashi Megumi blinked. "It's not like I need to rack my brains or anything."

"I've put a lot of thought into this," Kobayashi Sora said, taking Kobayashi Megumi's hand. "I've been thinking about how to get closer to you little by little, and how to steadily grow our relationship."

Kobayashi Megumi hesitated for a moment, "Well... well, I also put in a little effort."

Unable to contain himself, Kobayashi Sora kissed Kobayashi Megumi's slightly upturned lips.

Ok.

It's soft.

-

With Kobayashi Sora's encouragement, Akane Akasaka's live-streamed teaching caused quite a stir.

As the number of live streams increased, the discussion in the real-time comments gradually evolved from simply watching the excitement to engaging in rather professional discussions.

Before we knew it, Akane Akasaka's live streams had become like online classes.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri would also make a point of setting aside time to watch the live streams, even though much of the content was very basic for them, it still helped them improve a lot.

The popularity of live streaming has gradually influenced decision-making within Love Live.

As Kobayashi Sora had predicted, once the virtual idol card was played, Love Live's threat to RER was essentially nonexistent, while RER's threat to Love Live increased dramatically.

In Love Live's view, RER has evolved from an easy target to a prickly hedgehog.

The sharpest quill of this hedgehog is Akane Akasaka.

Feeling threatened, Love Live! could take various measures to deal with RER, but after Akane Kousaka appeared, Love Live! only had one path left: to strengthen cooperation.

Akane Kousaka, the multimedia queen, is a thorn in the side of many in the industry. Coupled with her flamboyant personality and domineering behavior, there are definitely quite a few people who want to take her down.

The fact that she can still be popular despite her amazing dancing skills is proof of her talent.

"Two of the five executives have proposed abandoning the action against RER and strengthening the cooperation between Love Live! and RER," Iori Hashima explained over the phone. "As expected of Akane-nee."

"Five executives, two proposals." Kobayashi Sora tapped her forehead. "Three against two, looks like we still need to keep working hard, arrange for other virtual idols to debut, and expand our influence..."

"No, it's two against two now."

Kobayashi Sora: "Hmm?"

Iori Hashima: "The female executive is on maternity leave."

"Um???"

Chapter 504 Congratulations!

"The Tokyo region representative team that will compete in the National Tournament is—[Liella!]!!!"

It's Christmas again, and Kobayashi Megumi is watching the live stream. "Star Cluster won as expected."

Kobayashi Sora was packing up her things. "Now we'll see how they perform in the national tournament."

"I feel a little disappointed..."

"how?"

“Think about it,” Kobayashi Megumi said softly, “I haven’t been involved with RER lately, and everything has gone very well. The second part of Liella! Superstar was released recently, and it’s great in every way. The online reviews are also very high—it’s like it doesn’t matter whether I’m there or not.”

Kobayashi Sora put down what she was doing and sat down next to Kobayashi Megumi. "This is how a company should operate normally. If there is no chairman, no one else can do anything, and that would be really bad."

"Hmm...so you mean I can just do nothing?"

“You feel like you haven’t done anything,” Kobayashi Sora corrected. “The person who first found Mayu, or even further back, the communication with the star cluster, and the establishment of Kasumi Eri, all owe a debt to your efforts.”

"Really?"

“Of course it’s true.” Kobayashi Sora held Kobayashi Megumi’s hand. “Without you, none of this would have happened.”

“Exaggeration…” Kobayashi Megumi said gently, “Speaking of which, there are no Christmas presents this year.”

Thinking about last year's gift...

Kobayashi Megumi's face was flushed.

With my due date approaching, I can't afford to be so reckless anymore.

"How about we do it twice next year?"

"Twice, huh..." Kobayashi Megumi bit her lower lip, her face turning even redder. "H."

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

Kobayashi Megumi looked at the pile of things Kobayashi Sora had organized, "Haven't we already checked it many times?"

“This…” Kobayashi Sora looked at the items: identification, medical insurance card, birth certificate, medical records, and items needed after the baby is born, including baby clothes, hats, blankets, quilts, towels, diapers, wipes, formula, bottles, bottle brushes, nipples, baby cream, diaper rash cream, baby bath wash… In short, it was a maternity bag.

Kobayashi Sora had prepared it three months in advance, but she repeatedly checked and revised it, filling in any gaps and omissions.

Endless.

Kobayashi Megumi gently stroked Kobayashi Sora's hair, "You're so nervous now, what will you do when the baby is born? I won't be able to be with you like this then."

"Don't worry." Enjoying his wife's caresses, Kobayashi Sora assured him, "With such thorough preparations, I definitely won't panic..."

-

Kobayashi Sora paced anxiously outside the delivery room, her eyes bloodshot, her hands clenched tightly as if she wanted to break her fingers.

"This kind of scene is truly rare." Kasumigaoka Utaha sat down next to Eriri. "Have you ever seen Kobayashi Sora like this?"

"No," Eriri said, glancing towards the delivery room. "But it's understandable."

Just two days after New Year's Eve, while everyone was chatting, Kobayashi Megumi suddenly encountered a problem.

Then, under Kobayashi Sora's arrangement, they rushed to the hospital.

"Calm down," Kobayashi Kazuki said calmly. "Look at the state you're in."

"I..." Kobayashi Sora opened her mouth, but found that her throat had become hoarse at some point.

"Have some water." Kato's mother handed her a water bottle. "The first pregnancy is always a bit slower. Megumi has been doing very well, so there's no need to panic."

Kobayashi Sora wanted to say thank you, but found she couldn't make a sound; her throat felt like it was being choked. She quickly gulped down half a bottle of water to help, "I...cough cough..."

"Don't rush," Kato's father said, then looked towards the delivery room. "Don't rush."

"Let me guess..." Yoshinaga Hiromi looked at Kobayashi Sora, "You're panicking because the situation is completely out of your control?"

"I guess so..." Kobayashi Sora sat in the chair, but then felt uncomfortable. She stood up and looked in the direction of the delivery room. Finally, she simply squatted down against the wall and calmed down a little.

My heart is racing...

My heart was in my throat, as if it might jump out at any moment.

He felt extremely frustrated because he couldn't do anything about it.

We can only wait...

wait......

wait!

wait.

wait......

Wait, wait ...

"Kong Qing," Kobayashi's mother said, "Do you intend to see Huihe's hardworking newborn child like this?"

Kobayashi Sora loosened her grip on her hair and looked helplessly at her mother.

“What you need to do is not this kind of pointless anxiety,” Xiaolin’s mother reminded her. “Think about what you should say when you see Hui after the baby is born? Or... what do you want to say?”

what you want to say?

Kobayashi Sora's eyes gleamed.

She amidst cherry blossoms, she in the sunlight, she sleeping soundly, she waking up...

Megumi Kobayashi's every smile and frown appeared before his eyes, and her gentle voice soothed his anxiety.
