How to raise a random guy's wife

"And then?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow.

"What Tomoya remembered was her outfit, so she wore that outfit and led me into the restaurant where Tomoya worked."

"Hmm... Pfft!" Kasumigaoka Utaha pondered for a moment, then suddenly made a strange sound, followed by a joyful laugh, "Hahahahahahaha!"

She laughed so happily that she bent over backwards, her ample breasts swaying with her laughter.

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

Normally, he might make a sarcastic remark.

But he's too lazy to be sarcastic now.

"So you've finally met your match..." Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head with a smile. "Karma has come too quickly. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered writing this article all night. I could have just come and laugh at you."

Kobayashi Sora: "...Hmm?"

"What Kato did to you is the same as what you did to me yesterday." Kasumigaoka Utaha's smile vanished, her face turning icy. "Using 'I'm doing this for your own good' as an excuse, you've gotten yourself into trouble. And now you're unhappy about being treated the same way? What were you thinking before?"

“I was…” Kobayashi Sora paused, “Go on.”

"I'm collaborating with you to create better works, not to become your kept typewriter. Kato must have her own reasons and considerations for joining the club, not because she wants to benefit from your favor. What makes you think your arrangements are the best? Are you genuinely considering others' needs, or are you just satisfying your own desire for control? And what gives you the right to put on that sour face when others make choices?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's barrage of questions pounded on Kobayashi Sora's head like a hammer. "You want to shelter people from the wind and rain, and they're expected to obediently cower under your wings? Who do you think you are?"

"Didn't you tell me before not to help Tomoya find someone?"

"I said that on the premise that Tomoya found a stranger who wasn't involved in your club," Kasumigaoka Utaha clicked her tongue. "But Kato is a member of the club, and her affairs concern the club and herself. She has the basic right to know, and you deprived her of that right. Now you're upset because she used her rights. What exactly are you...?"

“Kobayashi Sora,” Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly realized something, “you didn’t actually consider Kato a member of the club, did you?”

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

“Rin has passion and knowledge, Eriri can draw, I can write scripts, but Kato Megumi doesn’t have that talent.” Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lower lip. “So you don’t consider her a member of the club. You let her join the club just to establish a connection. It’s like the protagonist in a visual novel joining a baseball club. Playing baseball isn’t important. What’s important is giving the protagonist and the club members a reason to do things together.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back on the sofa and sneered, "I should have known. You and Tomoya are the same. It's just that he treats the game as real life, while you treat real life as a game. He resists the idea that real life will affect the beauty of the game, while you resist the idea that the game will have the changes that real life should have."

“Before this, you treated Kato like an NPC in a game, acting according to a pre-set program. You would stand in front of her, accept the tasks she gave you, and then come back to turn in the tasks after you completed them.” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s voice was low. “But just now, you discovered that she has her own thoughts and ideas, so… you got scared and ran away. You and Tomoya are the same; you are both afraid of real life.”

“It’s different.” Kobayashi Sora raised her head, her eyes deep. “I’m different from him.”

He stood up and pushed open the door.

"Senior, there are drinks in the refrigerator, please help yourself." Kobayashi Sora walked out of the house. "I have something very important to do, right now."

Chapter 65 The Familiar Her

Carrying shopping bags, Kato Megumi headed towards Kobayashi Sora's house.

The memory of our first meeting involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

At that time, when Kobayashi Sora wanted to send the cat to the shelter, she did not tell him that the cat might be euthanized.

She habitually hid her thoughts.

"Just tell me directly."

Having learned about the situation at the shelter, Kobayashi Sora, who decided to adopt Mochi, said this to her.

So, at Kobayashi Sora's house, Kato Megumi tentatively and casually poured out her troubles in the most understated way possible.

If Kobayashi isn't interested, you can easily skip the topic and talk about other things that Kobayashi might be interested in. Kato Megumi will listen attentively and give appropriate feedback.

Just like she has always done in the past.

"I understand. Although it's impossible to fully empathize, I understand how it feels."

Kobayashi Sora put down her chopsticks, her seriousness making Kato Megumi feel somewhat uncomfortable.

There's no need to be so serious...

"How about... we try to make a change?"

Kato Megumi had heard similar suggestions from others.

But... this was the first time she had ever met someone like Kobayashi Sora who had put herself in her shoes and helped her analyze the problem carefully and find solutions.

Speaking your mind will lead to being understood and valued.

Perhaps, I can transform myself from a listener into a speaker.

Just like Kobayashi Sora said: "Just tell me directly."

Is it that simple?

Well then... let's give it a try.

So Kato Megumi joined the club.

Will it be effective?

Megumi Kato is also unsure.

However, just by participating in club activities, she met Eriri, a beautiful mixed-race girl from Toyonosaki Academy, and even received a gift from her.

You are being watched, not ignored.

Kobayashi Sora wasn't deceiving herself.

As he said: "The prerequisite for a sense of existence is the necessity of existence."

When you have something you want to do and work together with people who share the same ideas, your existence will be recognized.

Just tell me directly.

This was said by Kobayashi Sora, but he did not live up to it.

He can tell Kato Megumi directly that Tomoya is also looking for you, and that a new project needs you as the female lead.

But he didn't.

Just tell me directly.

Is this statement really true?

If it's the right thing to do, why doesn't Kobayashi Sora do it?

Kato Megumi, who had initially begun to express her thoughts, started to hide them again.

He subtly inquired about the significance of making games for Kobayashi Sora.

The answer left her even more confused.

This was not a spur-of-the-moment activity, but the beginning of a long-term plan that even involved his future career planning.

So... why not say it?

Senior Shiyu provided the answer.

To avoid getting Kato Megumi into trouble, Kobayashi Sora chose to keep it a secret.

After spending some time together, Kato Megumi also gained some understanding of Kobayashi Sora.

Unlike her, Kobayashi Sora would do everything in her power to carry out his ideas.

As long as things go according to his plan, other people's feelings don't matter.

However, to avoid getting Kato Megumi into trouble, he abandoned his original plan and chose to keep it a secret.

Kato Megumi wants to have the courage to express her own thoughts, just like Kobayashi Sora.

Kobayashi Sora, however, began to hide her own thoughts, just like her.

This shouldn't be happening.

So Kato Megumi began to take action.

In a near-coincidental way, they helped Kobayashi Sora's plan proceed.

She then interrupted Aki Tomoya's speech, preventing him from revealing why he had sought her out.

This way, Kobayashi Sora's deception won't be exposed.

Everything was going smoothly, but the clever Kobayashi Sora saw through it all.

When he asks, "Did you already know?", Kato Megumi can lie.

But... I don't want to lie.

Just tell me directly.

Yes, I wanted to tell you.

I want to connect with people, I want to be needed, I want to have the same courage to express myself and the ability to follow through on my ideas as you do.

I want to become more like you.

So... let me run towards you.

Don't come over here.

Kato Megumi paused, her gaze softening.

Seriously... why did you even come here?

-

Lord Ye loved dragons, but he was terrified of them.

Kobayashi Sora couldn't understand it before.

If Lord Ye loved dragons so much, why was he so terrified when a dragon appeared?

Now he finally understands.

Just like Akane Akasaka said, he was like a bored player who hoped to complete the game called life according to plan, but also expected the game to bring him unexpected surprises.

Like Kasumigaoka Utaha said, he treats real life like a game, and feels fear when unexpected developments occur.

These two are not in conflict.

His expectation of unexpected developments stems from his control over reality; because everything is within his expectations, he anticipates the unexpected.
