How to raise a random guy's wife

This is the preparation work that Eri Kasumi does before her internal creative process.

When Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha finally began creating, Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora also started communicating with the outside world. Depending on the difficulty of contacting the other party, they would either guide them in a friendly way like Kobayashi Megumi, or coerce and entice them like Kobayashi Sora, in order to ensure that Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha could concentrate on creating without having to think about other things.

This is the Xia Yingli model that has been running for nine years.

High efficiency, good results, stable and reliable.

Therefore, upon discovering that the situation at the sea was not right for Hashima, and after waiting for a while, it was found that she had not adjusted properly. Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally suggested that she talk to Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi.

This is what Kasumigaoka Utaha does when she encounters a problem.

The trip to Kobo Island is not part of Kasumi Eri's activities.

Compared to Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, Hashima's sea voyage is more like a sponge.

She doesn't spark inspiration from clashes; instead, she absorbs guidance from Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi like a sponge.

If she had known it would turn out this way, Kasumigaoka Utaha wouldn't have suggested that Hashima go out to sea to communicate with them.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was all too aware of Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora's control abilities.

The control abilities of either Kobayashi Megumi or Kobayashi Sora are already terrifying, but the two of them combined can completely control a person's mind and body.

Eriri has been able to grow up to where she is today because of her personality.

Kasumigaoka Utaha has been able to hold on until now because she was quite wary of Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora from the very beginning.

When she met Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora, neither of them were in their complete form.

During her high school years, although Megumi Kobayashi had the ability to guide others' thoughts, she lacked the desire to express her own thoughts, so her control over her life was weak.

Kobayashi Sora possesses the ability to control the actions of others, but her personality is too wicked, and she enjoys provoking others' rebellious tendencies.

When they had fully grown up, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had witnessed their growth, was very familiar with their abilities and was naturally able to remain clear-headed.

But going out to sea from Po Island is different.

When Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora actually met on the island of Hashima, with the support of Kobayashi Sora, Kobayashi Megumi began to actively express her own thoughts, and Kobayashi Sora, under Kobayashi Megumi's influence, began to respect the thoughts of others.

Kobayashi Megumi's intention to control others is stronger, while Kobayashi Sora's methods of controlling others are more covert.

Having just left the beginner village, Bo Island faces two max-level demon kings at sea. If you're not careful, you'll become their puppet, losing your own thoughts and unknowingly creating things entirely according to their ideas.

To avoid this situation, Kasumigaoka Utaha had to help Hashima Uekai extricate herself from it, teaching her a way to gain power from them while maintaining her own identity.

“Both Sora and Megumi have the ability to make others act according to their own ideas, but their methods and focuses are different.” Kasumigaoka Utaha sorted out her thoughts, her tone almost earnest, “Applying this to creative work, it’s a similar situation.”

The shock she had just experienced was too great, and Bo Island was still a little disoriented. "Hmm... what does it matter?"

"When you create animation, don't you want the audience to experience joy or sorrow according to your wishes?"

"Ah!" Awajima realized, "If only I could have their abilities..."

I'm so excited to go out to sea from Po Island!

"Therefore, art originates from life but transcends it. The different ways of Sora and Megumi, when applied to creation, are different expressions of emotion." Kasumigaoka Utaha patiently explained, "Megumi's way is reflected in the flow of emotions in creation. Various complex emotions are triggered by a root emotion, and then in the process of the story unfolding, various emotions are guided to converge and deepen and strengthen the root emotion."

"It seems somewhat familiar."

"It's the structure of the Jorogumo," Kasumigaoka Utaha pointed out. "The Jorogumo is born from obsessive longing, and the tragedy brewed by this longing leads to the Jorogumo's loneliness, pain, sorrow, confusion, helplessness, regret, jealousy... The process of solving the mystery is the process of tracing back to the source, and all the emotions ultimately lead to the Jorogumo's longing for her brother."

Bo Island nodded as if she understood, but not quite. She had only managed to do it before, but she didn't know the specific principles behind it. It was all due to her talent and luck. Now she was beginning to understand it a little.

"The 'sky blue' approach in creation is the annihilation of emotion, negating all kinds of emotions one by one, and the emotion that remains in the end naturally appears intense and extremely infectious."

Loneliness is fake, pain is fake, sadness is fake, confusion is fake, helplessness is fake, regret is fake, and what remains is jealousy... that's real jealousy.

Bo Island realized almost immediately, "This is the structure of a Prajna!"

“What you think you can’t do, you actually can.” Kasumigaoka Utaha shifted the position of her alluring black-stockinged legs. “And she’s already done it.”

Chapter 781 Lingering Emotions

Kasumigaoka Utaha has been working with Eriri for a long time, so when she collaborates with Hashima Saikai, she naturally compares the two of them.

Eriri is clearly the kind of person who doesn't give up easily, but she has a clear understanding of herself. If the plot doesn't work, it doesn't work. At most, she'll complain a bit, but where the plot is supposed to go, she'll still follow it.

Going to sea from Po Island, to put it nicely, means humbly listening to advice; to put it bluntly, it means lacking independent judgment, coupled with a lack of self-awareness, believing whatever others say, and always feeling that others are right.

So when Eriri encounters problems in her creative process, her reaction is that she should draw better, and that the plot is someone else's problem.

The reaction from Bo Island was, "I think I drew something wrong, and there seems to be a problem with the plot."

That's why Eriri was able to create a Kashiwagi Eri craze in the industry so early on, while Izumi Hashima is only now officially debuting.

The current state of Hashima Izumi is very similar to that of Eriri when she completed the final CG of "The Cherry Tree Promise". Both of them completed works that exceeded their own level when they had not yet reached that level.

Then when I tried to replicate that miracle, I felt like I was incapable of doing anything right.

Eriri's approach was to persist in creating, repeatedly hone her basic skills, and try to revisit that level.

However, after setting sail from Po Island, it was as if they had completely forgotten their previous outstanding performance and started exploring other directions with a blank expression.

Eriri is very confident, so Akane Kousaka undermines her confidence, which in turn unleashes an even stronger power.

Since she lacked confidence in her voyage to Bo Island, the only solution was to start with the underlying principles, helping her understand how impressive her accomplishments were, thereby building her confidence and unleashing her potential.

Kasumigaoka Utaha gazes at the sea stretching out to sea from Hashima Island, as if she's looking at herself in front of Akane Akasaka.

Kasumigaoka Utaha can see both her problems and her hidden potential.

Kasumigaoka Utaha believes that the difficulties she faces are insignificant and feels that her future is limitless.

"If you understand, keep it in mind and think about it later." Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up and picked up her coat. "We should go to the recording studio."

"Okay...okay!" Hashima Izuru nodded vigorously, gathered his documents, and followed. "By the way, Utaha."

"Ok?"

"Why do I get the feeling that you don't really believe in Sora Aoi and Megumi's creative abilities?"

"Creative ability?"

“Yeah,” Hashima Izumi followed Kasumigaoka Utaha into the car, “They make a lot of sense, but it feels like you’re saying that you should just take their words with a grain of salt.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha started the car. "It's not that I don't believe in their creative abilities."

"Eh?"

"They simply lack creative ability."

"Huh?" Hashima asked, puzzled. "But didn't Sora Ao create Takagi-san and One-Punch Man?"

“Oh right, there’s that too. To be honest, I still can’t believe that he created it.” Kasumigaoka Utaha said while looking in the rearview mirror and driving the car. “Let me correct you, compared to their work ability, their creative ability is almost non-existent.”

"But what they said clearly makes a lot of sense..."

"A person's life should be lived in such a way that when one looks back on the past, one will not regret wasting one's years, nor be ashamed of having accomplished nothing." Kasumigaoka Utaha asked, "Is this statement correct?"

"correct."

"What are we going to eat after the recording ends?"

"Hmm... eh?"

"Even if you know how to live your life, deciding what to eat for dinner is still a problem," Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled. "Even if you know the merits of a good animation, figuring out how to draw a storyboard is still a challenge."

"They can help me understand what good works are like, but the real creator is myself, and I can only rely on my own thoughts and ideas," said Izumi Hashima, expressing her understanding. "Is that so?"

"Listen to advice, but also have your own opinions." Kasumigaoka Utaha realized more and more what a wonderful creator Eriri was, "Only in this way can you develop your own style."

I repeatedly pondered Kasumigaoka Utaha's words while sailing out to sea on Hashima Island, trying to grasp their meaning.

She received so much guidance today; she needs time to process it all.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I should have known. What I sculpted wasn't the beauty that can be seen, but the beauty that cannot. My dear, would you... no... I beg you to come back to me..."

Listening to the voice actors' highly engaging voices and watching the transitions between different scenes on the screen, Izumi Hashima gained a clearer understanding of the voice actors' abilities.

It's amazing that they can create such amazing sound effects just by looking at a PowerPoint presentation.

I heard that in order to meet the deadline, some voice actors even dubbed the lines from uncolored line art.

Everyone has a tough time.

"Very good, that concludes the dubbing for episode 10." The sound supervisor instructed. "Mr. Guan, could you please try dubbing for episode 8 as well?"

"Okay." The voice actor immediately flipped to the page with the most annotations in the script. "So you're a pharmacist! Welcome, welcome! I respect pharmacists the most. My eyes were cured by a very skilled pharmacist..."

As they set sail, Hashima's eyes lit up with delight, and she looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha beside her with surprise.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been looking serious the whole time, also had a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

This time, those complex emotions finally came through.

The specific operation is not complicated.

Let's put this part aside for now and record the other parts. Once we've finished recording all three episodes, while the emotions are still lingering, let's quickly go back to the beginning and start recording again.

Finally, the voice actor perfectly captured the moment when the woodcarver, upon learning the identity of the medicine seller, recalled the complex emotions he had experienced.

The sound supervisor pressed the button. "Passed. Thanks for your hard work."

The voice actor breathed a sigh of relief and smiled easily.

"Although I've already said that..." The sound director looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Aren't you really going to try being a sound director?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head, "I don't have that level of expertise, it's just an occasional flash of inspiration."

To be precise, I learned from Kobayashi Megumi's grasp of human nature and Kobayashi Sora's control over procedures.

"That's wonderful." Poshima Izumi smiled happily. She was overjoyed that the effect she wanted had been achieved so well.

"That's really great." The performance paused for a moment. "We've finished ten episodes in one go, and now there are only two left... although the storyboard for the final episode hasn't even started yet."

"..." Bo Island looked distressed as he went out to sea.

“The final episode…” Kasumigaoka Utaha recalled, “I think it was called ‘The Storyteller’s Spirit’?”

Chapter 782 A Heavy Sound

Click.

Kasumigaoka Utaha skillfully opened the door. When she drove back, she saw that the lights in the house were still on.
