How to raise a random guy's wife

“They met amidst the cherry blossoms.” Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. “All the uncertainties before them settled the moment they met. The snow that had been falling and making people feel cold was transformed into slowly drifting cherry blossoms by their memories.”

"..." Eriri's eyes widened. Just hearing the description of such a scene made her feel warm.

but......

“Megumi’s method is indeed good.” Kasumigaoka Utaha flicked the paper in her hand with satisfaction. “I’ve finished the script. Now the pressure is on you, Eriri.”

“Gurgle…” Eriri made a strange sound.

This scenario sounds simple, but drawing it is a completely different story!

Chapter 518 No Interest

"How does it feel to be back in the workplace?" In the prime real estate of Tokyo, in the entire floor that Akane Akasaka had booked by Akane Planning Company, Akane Akasaka's office, which was also the company's president's office, or rather Akane Akasaka's workspace, Akane Akasaka smiled curiously amidst a pile of documents and machines.

Kobayashi Sora was all too familiar with that smile.

Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha often gave him and Kobayashi Megumi that smile.

Especially Kasumigaoka Utaha, her smile is exactly the same as Akane Kousaka's.

Life is truly amazing.

Machida Sonoko favors Kasumigaoka Utaha, while Akasaka Akane favors Eriri.

As a result, Kasumigaoka Utaha is becoming more and more like Akane Akasaka, while Eriri is showing a tendency to develop into Sonoko Machida.

Kobayashi Sora waved her hand, "Hand it over."

"What is it?" Akane Akasaka looked away. "Is it a gift for Ranran? You don't need to pass it on."

“The wine bottle.” Kobayashi Sora stretched out his arm. “Right next to your left foot…aren’t you afraid of getting the manuscript wet?”

“Just draw it again…” Akane Akasaka reluctantly handed a one-liter bottle of sake to Sora Kobayashi. “How did you find out?”

“You keep saying you'll draw more, but your eyes still keep glancing in that direction, plus the smell of alcohol in the room…” Kobayashi Sora sighed, “Your lying skills are basically on par with Lanlan’s.”

"Lanlan can lie now?"

“No,” Kobayashi Sora replied, “so you and she are on the same level.”

"Tsk... So you're starting to intimidate me." Akane Kousaka muttered, "Is this your idea—to fire the first shot in your return to the industry with this new project?"

"Although I've gradually taken on some work before, I haven't often been able to focus on this kind of work away from home like I am now." Kobayashi Sora sealed the bottle. "If I had to describe my feelings, it's like I want to work but don't want to."

"The dependence on family and the responsibilities on your shoulders, right?" Akane Akasaka casually pulled out a piece of paper and wrote it down. "It's pretty much what I analyzed."

"After getting used to Lanlan's innocent and adorable smile, the whole world seemed to become a better place." Kobayashi Sora flicked the bottle with her finger. "But once we started doing the actual work, we found that the rotten people were still rotten, and the useless ones were still useless. It wouldn't be difficult to take action to rectify things, but after all, it's a company, and business results have to speak for themselves. The Superstar project went too smoothly, leading many to believe that RER was carried by them. Before Hui officially returns to the workplace, we still need to produce some convincing work to make those unruly guys settle down."

"So that's why you came up with this scenic erotic animated film project. You want to create a new category..." Akane Akasaka paused, frowning and glaring at Sora Kobayashi. "Do you have to be a beat off now?"

"This animated film project..." Kobayashi Sora had just started to speak when she was interrupted by Akane Kousaka.

"Answer my question first."

“I’ve gotten used to it.” Kobayashi Sora also realized her own situation. “It’s a kind of education and coping method…” Recalling Kobayashi Ran’s incessant questioning, Kobayashi Sora’s lips curled up slightly. “After learning to speak, Ranran became extremely curious. She wanted to ask about everything and then kept asking questions. At times like this, I need to distract her with other topics before answering her questions. If she’s still curious, I can go into more detail. If it’s just a passing interest, she’ll quickly forget about the previous questions.”

At the beginning, Kobayashi Sora kept up her old habit and wanted to explain Kobayashi Ran's doubts from beginning to end.

But obviously... the young daughter doesn't have her mother's patience, nor does she have the same level of comprehension to keep up with his train of thought.

So he began to adjust his communication style, first using other topics to attract Kobayashi Ran's attention, and only after judging that she was genuinely interested in the questions she raised did he begin to explain.

State the conclusion first, and then add further explanations step by step before the conclusion.

As his arguments increased, Ran Kobayashi began to try to follow his train of thought and understand his reasoning process.

In this process, Kobayashi Sora learned to distinguish between effective communication and ineffective words.

For some questions, Kobayashi Ran wasn't focused on the question itself, but rather on Kobayashi Sora's response when she asked the question.

In situations like this, you need to coax or soothe the person.

There are some questions that Ran Kobayashi genuinely wants to understand; she needs answers, not just something to be dealt with.

At times like this, trying to appease her won't work; it will only make her feel frustrated and prompt her to keep asking questions.

In the process of educating Kobayashi Ran, Kobayashi Sora felt that she was also being educated.

"I've heard that having kids turns you into a baby-showing maniac." Akane Akasaka raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect you to be no exception."

"This can hardly be considered flashy..."

"Alright, let's talk about the movie." Akane Akasaka flipped through Sora Kobayashi's project. "The idea is great, but the workload is huge. It will require a lot of investment to show results in a short period of time."

This is not hard to understand.

Let alone movies, even in comics, the background is a part that needs to be completed quickly and efficiently.

Most of the time, a close-up of the background is enough to show the scene where the story takes place.

To create a perfect background requires a considerable amount of effort.

If static comics are like this, then animated films are even more so.

For ordinary animated films, as long as the scenes are ordinary and the characters don't deviate too much from their original form, it's sufficient to maintain a certain level of quality.

However, according to Kobayashi Sora's plan, the scenes need to maintain a very high standard throughout the twenty minutes in order to stabilize the animation style and maintain the animation quality.

"That's why I need Sister Zhu Yin's help," Kobayashi Sora said frankly.

“I’m not interested.” Akane Akasaka closed the proposal. “I’m interested in the finished product, but I have absolutely no interest in this kind of production.”

"Ok?"

“An erotic film is an erotic film. Whether it’s the characters or the scenery, it’s all the same,” Akane Akasaka succinctly summarized. “You want to take a different approach, fine, I look forward to your results, but I’m too lazy to participate.”

Kobayashi Sora looked at Akane Akasaka and vaguely understood her thoughts.

Akane Akasaka, the chairman of Akane Kikaku Co., Ltd., a super popular manga artist and original author, who also serves as producer, director and all other positions in the dark creation world, focuses more on content than form.

Chapter 519 You're So Beautiful

Akane Kousaka's reluctance to participate was not due to disagreement with the approach.

Let alone a pornographic film with scenic views, even if it were real... she would agree with it.

As long as the story is told well.

Manga artist, author, producer, director... Despite having so many professions and identities, Akane Akasaka sees herself as just a creator.

Novels, comics, animations, and games are all mediums through which she outputs content.

Unlike most creators, what limits her creativity is not her creative ability, but her physical abilities.

She has so many things she wants to create, but even if she pushes herself to the limit, she can't turn everything into a work of art all at once.

Moreover, it's a high-quality work.

That's why Hongzhu Planning Company, and various other companies, came into being.

Essentially, these companies are extensions of her hands, helping her complete her creative work.

Even so, these companies could not satisfy her creative desires.

Therefore, it's not hard to understand why Akane Kousaka didn't want to join Kobayashi Sora's project.

No need.

According to Akane Akasaka, a simple story can be told with adequate visuals.

If you particularly like something, then use excellent visuals to tell the story.

Using top-tier graphics would be a waste.

Instead of spending time polishing the visuals, it's better to create more stories.

Kobayashi Sora quickly sorted out Akane Akasaka's thoughts in her mind.

Akane Akane agrees with this creative approach and looks forward to its results.

But she didn't think this approach suited her.

So she didn't want to participate.

However, Kobayashi Sora didn't originally intend for her to participate. "I wanted RER to collaborate with Akane-sho on the release of the film, which means... I'm here to raise investment."

"Investment?" Akane Akasaka rested her chin on her hand. "You haven't even started the first short story of this project, and you're already thinking about the movie afterwards?"

"I have confidence in Kasumi Eri." Kobayashi Sora chuckled. "You know how talented Senpai and Eriri are in their creative work."

“If you want my support, I can give it to you right now.” Akane Kousaka waved her hand. “If you want investment in the Akane Kousaka Project, then produce results first.”

"Okay." Kobayashi Sora decisively chose the latter.

Because of their family circumstances, neither Kobayashi Sora nor Kobayashi Megumi paid much attention to RER.

However, with the cooperation of Kobayashi Sora and Hashima Iori, RER's various business operations have progressed smoothly.

This smooth sailing has also given some people a reason to have ulterior motives.

When Iori Hashima was in charge, things were fine; he didn't have much need for profit, he mainly cared about his reputation.

Therefore, there is no conflict of interest with most people.

But Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi are different.

Kobayashi Sora could certainly ask Akane Kousaka to step in and help suppress those people's restless thoughts.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Proving your strength is more beneficial for long-term development.

"Thinking about it..." After putting Kobayashi Ran to sleep, Kobayashi Megumi nestled in Kobayashi Sora's arm, "It seems that Sister Akane doesn't have this problem."

"really."

All of Akane Kousaka's companies revolve around Akane Kousaka as their absolute core.

To be precise, it is her creative ability that is the absolute core.

As long as she continues to create, it doesn't matter what other people's intentions are.

Unless someone surpasses her creative abilities.
