How to raise a random guy's wife

His voice was soft, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Holding Kobayashi Megumi's soft little hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, Kobayashi Sora whispered, "I've found you."

Chapter 692 Setting Sail

“Darling,” Kobayashi Megumi looked up and whispered with a kiss, “I’ve been waiting for you.”

Amidst the melodious singing, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi embrace their sleeping daughter, expressing their deep love.

It was breathtakingly beautiful under the dim lighting.

It wasn't actually that dark.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri felt like they were shining brightly.

Careless.

Although she knew that Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi wouldn't care about her.

But this is just too inconsiderate!

Eriri blushed, her azure eyes narrowing.

It's not because I'm shy, it's mainly because I'm nearsighted and can't see clearly unless I squint.

After the movie ended, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri left together.

Kobayashi Sora took the sleeping Kobayashi Ran back to her room and tidied up the living room with Kobayashi Megumi.

After a fulfilling and heartwarming day, the couple snuggled together in bed, breathing in each other's air.

Kobayashi Megumi looked up from Kobayashi Sora's arms and said, "Hey, Daddy."

"Ok?"

"Just now..." Kobayashi Megumi's warm breath brushed against Kobayashi Sora's ear, "Were you crying?"

"No," Kobayashi Sora replied truthfully.

"Really?" Kobayashi Megumi gently rubbed his lips with her delicate, white fingertips. "But..."

"I really didn't cry," Kobayashi Sora reiterated.

"That must be my imagination," Kobayashi Megumi said, a beautiful smile curving her lips. "It felt like I was seeing an especially cute version of you."

"Huh? Cute?"

“Yeah~” Kobayashi Megumi’s fingertips slid along his neck. “He’s so incredibly cute, it makes you want to hold him in your arms and cherish him.”

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

Burying her face in the crook of his neck, Kobayashi Megumi shyly confessed, "I love seeing you cry for me, and then after I comfort you, you sob softly, and then cry again... Am I weird?"

"To be honest, it's really strange," Kobayashi Sora said, expressing her true feelings. "Now that you mention it, I think I'm interested in this feeling too."

"Right~" Kobayashi Megumi coaxed gently, "Shall we give it a try?"

"Eh?"

“It’s time to perform~” Kobayashi Megumi kissed his eyes, “I want to taste your tears, even… taste them together.”

"It's just a performance."

"Mmm." Kobayashi Megumi gently stroked Kobayashi Sora's hair. "Sweetie~ Crying will make you feel better. It's okay, I'm here, I'll stay with you..."

Kobayashi Sora sniffed, "It really...it really was just an act..."

"Mmm~" Kobayashi Megumi hugged Kobayashi Sora, "Your acting is superb."

"Then...of course..."

"Sweetie~" Kobayashi Megumi's voice took a charming turn, "Naughty..."

"Therefore, the production of 'Mononoke' is officially on the agenda." During an internal meeting, Kobayashi Sora announced a major decision. "Previously, we were in the preparation stage, and everything was rather casual. After that, things will get busy, so everyone should be prepared."

My eyes were shining with excitement as we set sail from Po Island, and my chest heaved dramatically with each deep breath.

Iori Hashima looked at her younger sister tenderly. After so much hard work, it was finally time for her to make her official debut.

but......

He frowned almost imperceptibly.

Neither the subject matter nor the story is in the current popular style.

It will most likely become a hidden gem, the kind that gets good reviews but doesn't sell well.

Fumio Sagara noticed Iori Hashima's mood, smiled at him, and gave him a reassuring look.

There's no need to have too high expectations for your debut work; just be happy.

Mayu Sagara held the hand of Kazumi Hashima, and as a fellow creator, she was happy for Kazumi Hashima.

Eriri leaned closer to Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Don't you feel the azure sky today...?"

"I feel exceptionally refreshed." Kasumigaoka Utaha also noticed this.

"It's like something good has happened." After hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's answer, Eriri knew that her feeling was right.

Ok?

The two of them thought of something at the same time, exchanged a glance, and then turned their gaze to Kobayashi Megumi.

You look great!

Kobayashi Sora continued, "Then, according to the previous arrangement, Izumi will be the director and scriptwriter."

"Director?!" Poshima Izumi hurriedly waved his hands. "I... I'll just handle the script, directing and all that..."

"We'll arrange support for you, and there will also be someone in charge of the performance. You just need to clearly explain the feeling you want."

"Um...okay...okay." Po Island nodded somewhat uneasily.

“As for the producer, Shiha,” Kobayashi Sora reminded her, “because this is an original RER anime, you are the animation producer, the on-site producer, and the production producer. The task is heavy and the work is extensive.”

“This is exactly what I wanted.” Kasumigaoka Utaha was already prepared.

“Generally speaking, on-set producers start as production assistants and gradually work their way up to production supervisor. Your situation is special. If you encounter any problems during the work process, please feel free to provide feedback.” Kobayashi Megumi asked with concern, “What are your thoughts on becoming a production supervisor?”

"How was Mr. Honda from before?" Kasumigaoka Utaha recalled her recent experience.

“His work isn’t finished yet,” Kobayashi Sora recalled. “You could also choose one of the experienced production managers to promote.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment, "That Taro?"

"He's not good enough. He has potential for future development, but he still needs to grow now."

Kasumigaoka Utaha searched her memory but found nothing. "What about your recommendation?"

Kobayashi Sora looked at Kobayashi Megumi; when it came to judging people, Kobayashi Megumi was more adept.

Kobayashi Megumi suggested, "How about Nyanmori?"

“Miyamori Aoi?” Kobayashi Sora tapped her forehead, recalling relevant memories. “She has been interested in animation production since her student days. She and her friends founded the Ueyama High School Animation Club and co-produced ‘Seven Lucky Gods,’ which was screened at the school festival. After studying finance at a junior college, she came to work at RER in 2014. Her dream is to make animation again with her friends who share the same aspirations from her student days. She is quite enthusiastic and capable, serious and responsible, and cheerful and lively.”

“Even though I’ve seen it many times,” Mayu Sagara rubbed her arms, “it still gives me the creeps every time!”

"You'll get used to it." Kasumigaoka Utaha trusted Kobayashi Sora's information and Kobayashi Megumi's judgment. "Then it's her."

"You should try to talk to her again," Kobayashi Sora suggested. "She likes donuts and canned sea urchin."

"That's a bit too detailed." Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed. "I'll try harder from now on."

Chapter 693 Work Arrangements

"As for the other personnel arrangements," Kobayashi Megumi looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, "that's up to you to decide."

"Let me see..." Kasumigaoka Utaha flipped through the staff list, "If it's within the company, we have no problem with direction and animation, and we also have photography and color."

After a period of study, Kasumigaoka Utaha gained a deeper understanding of animation production.

Animation production is something that cannot be accomplished by a single company alone; it requires the assistance of external resources.

Animation companies typically have their own production and animation teams. With the development of 3D technology, more and more companies are starting to establish their own CG departments.

Larger companies often have their own photography and color departments, and some smaller companies that started by outsourcing coloring also have their own color departments.

The sound system is usually handled by specialized sound production companies. The operation and maintenance costs of sound equipment are very high, so animation studios almost never set up their own recording studios.

The same applies to editing departments; there are quite a few companies that don't have their own editing departments.

As a group under Akane Kousaka, RER had a wide range of interests from the beginning, including both performance and animation, and many members could be directly selected from within the group.

"Regarding the performance," Kasumigaoka Utaha thought of someone, "Does Mr. Iimura, who was in charge of 'Your Name' before, have time?"

“I have time,” Kobayashi Sora replied. “He would probably be interested.”

“Character design and chief animation director,” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Hashima Izumi, “you’ll be in charge of that.”

"Okay...okay." As Bo Island set sail, he felt an even heavier burden on his shoulders.

Kasumigaoka Utaha tapped the form lightly. "As for the art production, because the art style is quite unique, we might need to find someone outside the company to help. As for photography and color..."

Eriri stared blankly at Kasumigaoka Utaha, listening to her say things that seemed to be both understood and not understood, and felt a sense of relief in a daze.

There's also a sense of loss that's hard to ignore...

-

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door.

Kasumigaoka Utaha put down the documents in her hand. "Please come in."

"Hello." The girl with short blond hair pushed open the door and walked in. "I'm production assistant Miyamori Aoi."

"Please sit down." Kasumigaoka Utaha gestured for Miyamori Aoi to sit down; the other woman's hair color made her feel very comfortable.

“Okay.” Miyamori Aoi sat down while looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Aoi Miyamori entered this industry because of her love for animation.
