He opened his mouth, realizing he had so much to say to her.

The five fingers bend and straighten, straighten and bend again.

Kobayashi Sora could vaguely feel the warmth of Kobayashi Megumi's palm.

Even though they had only been apart for a short time, Kobayashi Sora's longing for Kobayashi Megumi was already overwhelming.

I want to see her.

She's shy, she's angry, she's happy, she's mischievous...

I want to tell her.

I love the scent of her shampoo, I love her soft murmurs, I love her serious expression, I love her clear thinking...

want to......

A cry interrupted Kobayashi Sora's thoughts, followed by a joyful announcement, "It's born! It's a girl!"

Kobayashi Sora suddenly stood up, and because the movement was so fast, her vision went black for a moment.

At that moment, he couldn't care less about anything else and staggered toward her.

Holding Kobayashi Megumi's sweaty, limp hand, Kobayashi Sora gently kissed her forehead.

"benefit......"

Kobayashi Sora called out her name, a thousand words swirling in her heart.

Words are so powerless; they cannot express even a fraction of what I want to tell you.

"Kuōshō..." Kobayashi Megumi's voice was weak, "Are you crying?"

"Yes..." Kobayashi Sora's voice trembled as she looked at the weak Kobayashi Megumi with heartache, gently tucking her sweat-dampened hair behind her ears.

With a slight pout, Kobayashi Megumi whispered, "Just the forehead... that won't do..."

Kobayashi Sora lowered his head and carefully kissed her lips, "I love you."

“I know…” Kobayashi Megumi whispered, her lips barely moving, “because I love you too.”

I love you as much as you love me.

Chapter 505 Cute Baby

"Giggle, giggle..." Xiaolin Lan let out a clear laugh, revealing a cute smile. She then made a muffled sound, "Ahhh~"

“Ranran is so cute…” Eriri reached out and gently poked the baby’s chubby little face. Ran immediately turned her head toward the direction of her finger and opened her little mouth. “You couldn’t tell when she was born, but now… her eyes really look like Megumi’s.”

“The mouth looks more like azurite.” Kasumigaoka Utaha observed carefully, reaching out to tease Kobayashi Ran’s waving little hand. Just as she touched the baby’s palm, Kobayashi Ran firmly grasped her fingers. “She’s so strong.”

"Is this alright?" Eriri noticed that Ran Kobayashi's fingertips had turned white.

Why use so much force?

“This is called the grasping reflex,” Kobayashi Megumi explained. “Don’t let her small hands fool you, she’s strong enough to hang herself up.”

"Wow, that's amazing..." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kobayashi Ran's tiny arms and legs, "I can't do that."

Eriri deeply agrees.

"Ah~ Ah~" Upon hearing Kobayashi Megumi's voice, Kobayashi Ran immediately released Kasumigaoka Utaha's fingers and waved her little arms in her mother's direction.

"Good baby~" Xiaolin Hui said gently, bending down to lift the baby's head with both hands. Then, she supported the baby's head, neck and shoulders with one hand, and slid the other hand down the baby's back to the waist, holding the baby's outer thigh. She placed the baby in the crook of her arm with the hand supporting the head, lifted the baby's waist and hips, and held the baby close to her abdomen.

Feeling her mother's warmth, Ran Kobayashi made a happy sound and instinctively snuggled up to Megumi Kobayashi.

When Kobayashi Sora brought over coffee and black tea, Kobayashi Megumi looked up, and Kobayashi Ran and her mother also looked at him, both of them smiling at the same time.

Kobayashi Sora paused, feeling as if she had been struck.

The reserved maternal instincts that Kobayashi Megumi possessed during her pregnancy were fully unleashed after Kobayashi Ran was born. Her already easygoing nature now radiated an even more inclusive and gentle charm.

Ran Kobayashi smiled sweetly in her gentle embrace, her smile echoing her mother's loving smile, creating a heartwarming and enchanting scene.

That was a critical hit.

It's still a combo attack.

Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head. "What's wrong?"

"My wife is really beautiful."

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi gave him a smug sidelong glance.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took the coffee from Kobayashi Sora and took a satisfied sip.

Mmm, it tastes just like I do.

She put down her coffee cup and looked at the baby. "Um... can I hold him/her?"

"Sure." Kobayashi Megumi handed the baby to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Wait a minute, what exactly should we pay attention to?" Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated to answer.

"Reach out first," Kobayashi Megumi chuckled, then instructed Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Use your arm to support it, yes... then use your hand to support your bottom, that's it."

Kasumigaoka Utaha carefully held Kobayashi Ran in her arms, her red eyes meeting Kobayashi Ran's curious gaze.

The somewhat unfamiliar embrace startled Ran Kobayashi for a moment. Then, she grabbed Kasumigaoka Utaha's clothes with her small hands, rested her head on Kasumigaoka Utaha's body, and stared at her with her bright eyes.

So cute...

Kasumigaoka Utaha found it hard to describe this feeling, this feeling of being relied upon and noticed by the baby, as if it touched the softest part of her heart.

"Let me hold him too." Eriri said excitedly, but when she actually held the baby in her arms, she became nervous.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi looked at Eriri holding the baby, "I have a feeling this scene..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha chimed in, "I have a feeling that someone should be arrested."

“Ah…” Kobayashi Sora nodded, “Indeed.”

Eriri, holding the baby, glared at the three of them, then sensed something was wrong.

Lin Lan's little hands groped around as if searching for something, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, as if she was about to cry.

Eriri looked at Kobayashi Megumi for help, "What's wrong with her?"

"This..." Kobayashi Megumi opened her mouth, "Um... I'll leave it to you."

Reaching out to take the baby, Kobayashi Megumi sat on the sofa and unbuttoned her clothes.

Xiaolin Lan immediately quieted down.

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. "I think I understand."

Eriri looked down at her chest.

She found out too.

The baby was hungry.

Then I wanted to find something to eat.

They couldn't find it.

Yinglili: "..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha comforted her, "Small things are a rare resource, you know."

Eriri bristled, "Do I need you to remind me?"

Looking at the baby struggling in her arms, Kobayashi Megumi chuckled softly and murmured, "Just like your father..."

"Uh-huh?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri both looked at Kobayashi Sora.

"Hmm." Kobayashi Sora said without changing her expression, "How's your creative process going?"

Eriri exclaimed incredulously, "You just changed the subject like that?"

"Otherwise what?" Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at her. "You want to hear the details?"

"Let's talk about work."

"I've gathered a lot of material at university, and the Bunny Girl storyline has progressed to the university level, so it's going quite smoothly," Kasumigaoka Utaha summarized succinctly. "The Star Cluster light novel is even simpler; it's all about familiar people and events. Now all that's missing is the Kaguya script, and oh right, the script for 'Chronicles of the Universe XIV,' but there's no rush."

“The manga adaptations of Bunny Girl and Star Cluster are easy enough. The focus right now is Kaguya-sama: Love Is War and One-Punch Man.” Eriri thought for a moment. “I think we should put One-Punch Man on hold for now, since you don’t have much time right now.”

"That's fine, after all, their styles are too different." Kobayashi Sora paused, "About Kaguya..."

Eriri asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

How do you plan to publish it?

“Asking such a question,” Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow, “means you have some thoughts on it, right?”

"I've built a website—RER Manga Network—and the mobile app is also finished." Kobayashi Sora took the computer and opened the website. "We haven't officially started promoting it yet. Would you like to consider it?"

Eriri looked at the screen. "This is... the one you talked about back then? You actually made it?"

That was the plan that Kobayashi Sora told her at her home when she first recruited her.

If Kobayashi Sora hadn't brought it up, Eriri would have completely forgotten about it.

"You have to believe me," Kobayashi Sora said sincerely. "We're good friends, how could I go back on my word?"

Eriri's expression was somewhat complicated.

One sentence instantly pulled her back to three years ago.

Hearing the same words again evoked completely different feelings.

So much time has passed...

Chapter 506 As Always

"So..." Kasumigaoka Utaha browsed the empty webpage, "What exactly is it?"

“It’s a new path.” Eriri breathed a sigh of relief. “A new path that’s different from traditional manga.”

"Oh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. "So what's the traditional approach to manga?"
