How to raise a random guy's wife

I thought of the point that Kobayashi Megumi had made.

The best way for a creator to depict an emotion is to start from their own experience and tell their own story.

It's difficult for people to truly empathize with each other.

They feel their own pain and regrets most deeply.

It will be much easier to write then.

That's why creative work requires experience.

The best example is Akane Akasaka.

She has experienced setbacks, suffered blows, and felt the pain of having her important works trampled on by others.

Therefore, her works easily evoke anger and resentment in readers.

At the same time, through her own efforts, she regained everything and achieved her current status.

Therefore, the momentum of effort and struggle in her works is very strong, the courage shown by the characters when facing the tricks of fate is admirable, and the joy of ultimate victory is even more refreshing.

These are all reflections of herself.

This indomitable spirit permeates all her works, regardless of type or form; all her creations embody this spirit.

So no matter how heartbreaking her story is, her unwavering resilience keeps readers hooked.

Conversely, if a creator can vividly depict the emotions of others, it means that she has a level of concern and empathy for that person that far exceeds her own.

Of course, another possibility is that the creator is extremely capable and can use writing techniques to express various emotions.

However, this technique inevitably requires repeated study and careful consideration.

It definitely wasn't as Kasumigaoka Utaha described... done in one go.

Kasumigaoka Utaha has blocked her own way out.

Eriri's blue eyes shimmered slightly.

The next sentence is the decisive blow.

Chapter 523 Hesitant to Speak

Although Eriri's screenwriting skills are lacking, thanks to Kasumigaoka Utaha and Akane Kousaka's guidance, Eriri's appreciation ability is top-notch.

With her familiarity with Kasumigaoka Utaha and her understanding of her writing style and ability, Eriri easily grasped the story behind the story.

Kasumigaoka Utaha said that she completed the work in one go.

Therefore, this kind of creation is certainly not an effect achieved through techniques that require repeated deliberation.

There is only one answer!

When thinking about regrets, the first thing that comes to mind for Kasumigaoka Utaha is Eriri's regret.

Her ranking is above her own regret.

Moreover, she deeply sympathizes with Eriri's regrets.

They paid close attention to Eriri's emotional changes.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is worried that Eriri might get too involved in the story and feel sad because after the story was finished, she put herself in the story and felt an uncomfortable sadness.

That really impressed me!

Eriri stood with one hand on her hip, looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a smile.

This aloof and gloomy woman, at this moment, is like a schoolgirl who has been soaked in the rain in front of her.

Thinking she was still wearing clothes, all the disguise was like a uniform soaked by rain, clinging to her delicate skin, presenting a wet and transparent texture.

Those hidden thoughts, like the alluring glow of her skin, shyly peeked through her thin clothes and were exposed to her gaze.

Now, Eriri is going to completely remove even the last bit of defense. She will use her sharp words to strip away all of Kasumigaoka Utaha's defenses, leaving her helpless in the cold rain and wind as she faces the mocking, burning gaze.

It can't be hidden.

How much scenery can those slender arms really hide?

Eriri's smile gradually became more unrestrained.

I've seen through it.

I saw right through it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's attention to him, her concern for him, her understanding of him... everything has been seen through and exposed by her.

Eriri's cherry lips parted slightly.

The next moment, she was about to expose the delicate thoughts hidden beneath Kasumigaoka Utaha's sharp tongue. All that attention, care, love, and consideration for her would turn into immense shame the moment she revealed them, completing the torture of the seemingly indifferent Kasumigaoka Utaha... Eh?

Hmm...

Ok?

like......

Eriri's smile froze.

Something seems off.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, she...

it turns out......

turn out to be......

I......

she......

you......

The words that were about to come out were stuck in my throat.

Then it melts into an indescribable taste.

Eriri pursed her lips, and as she prepared, she subtly changed her appearance.

"I don't know what your thoughts are on regret, but my thoughts are simple." Eriri looked away. "A relationship that didn't work out isn't an experience to run away from. There's no future in it anyway, and if I deny my past self, who else will agree with me? No matter the outcome, the feeling of liking someone and the effort to become a better person for that person are both right."

Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her eyelids slightly. "Wasn't that what I said?"

"I have a different understanding!" Eriri puffed out her rosy cheeks slightly. "It's just... um..."

Do you really have it?

"Of course!" Eriri huffed. "I... I knew the other person's true nature, yet I still liked them for so long. Isn't that amazing? I liked them for so long, yet I was able to end it rationally and continue moving towards my own goals. I'm awesome!"

"I feel like you've gone to the other extreme—the narcissistic kind."

"I just don't want to be told that by you." Eriri snorted coldly. "In the end, the regret you wrote about and the regret I have are completely different. How am I supposed to empathize with you?"

"Ok?"

"The regret in the story is that the two people subjectively wanted to be together, but couldn't because of objective reasons. My regret is that I didn't meet the right person, and all my sincere feelings were wasted," Eriri muttered. "These are two completely different feelings. Could you relate to them?"

“In that case,” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi, “it seems like you two are more likely to relate to it?”

“That’s true…” Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head. “But if it were Sora Ao, he would definitely do everything he could to come to my side. If he knew the weather was bad, he would definitely come early. If he transferred schools because of family reasons, he would also try to transfer back—I can’t imagine him being helpless.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "......"

We couldn't talk about it that day.

“That’s true.” Eriri stared at the two of them. “In the end, you two don’t have any regrets, do you?”

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, "There are still some."

"Oh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked curiously, "What?"

"If I had to say something regrettable..." Kobayashi Megumi said, holding Kobayashi Sora's arm, "was it too late to meet you?"

Kobayashi Sora nodded. "Indeed."

Eriri: "...How soon do you want it to be?"

"Brother and sister so early?" Kasumigaoka Utaha pinched her chin. "It's kind of interesting to think about, twins or something."

“That’s the red line.” Kobayashi Sora made a retracting motion. “Stop right there.”

Although there have been many works of this type in the past.

But now it's a red line.

Orthopedics and the like cannot be explicitly stated.

But if it can't be written outright, it doesn't really make much sense.

Therefore, this style gradually declined.

"Tsk." Kasumigaoka Utaha showed a displeased expression. "I was thinking of writing this kind of short story next."

"I have an idea for the next short story," Eriri said thoughtfully.

"Oh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was quite surprised.

Eriri has some ideas about the plot, which is really unusual.

"The next chapter will be about the male protagonist entering high school, where a senior girl has a crush on him and tries all sorts of things for him... such as writing a hugely popular book... um, swimming through... surfing, deciding to stand up on the surfboard, and confessing to him. In the end, she successfully stands up, but finds that the other person does not like her, so she gives up confessing."

"I said..." Kasumigaoka Utaha said bluntly, "Is this revenge?"

"What?" Eriri retorted, "You're projecting your own feelings again?"

Could you be any more obvious?

"I don't want you to say that to me," Eriri muttered. "Can we just say 'classmate' instead?"

"Haven't you realized it yourself?"

"I already said it wasn't revenge!"
