How to raise a random guy's wife

"really?"

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Ran bit her lower lip lightly, "Actually... there's still a little..."

“Then how about this,” Kobayashi Sora suggested, “Dad can take the tent down, and we can set it up together again.”

"No..." Xiaolin Lan squirmed in Xiaolin Kongqing's arms, "Daddy worked so hard to build it, don't take it down."

"What should I do?"

"I'll just have to put up with this for a while..."

"Lanlan," Kobayashi Megumi reminded her, "setting up a tent is only the first step in camping. We still have a lot of things to do later."

Xiaolin Lan's eyes lit up, and she hugged Xiaolin Kongqing's neck, "Daddy, Daddy~ So we can do lots and lots of fun things together, right?"

"Yes!" Kobayashi Sora nodded vigorously. "The camping trip has only just begun. We're going to have a picnic, cook something delicious, go fishing, and Dad even brought your bicycle so we can ride together later. We're also going to fly kites..."

"Then Lanlan won't feel wronged!" Xiao Linlan urged, "Let's get started quickly, there's still a lot to do."

"Great!" Kobayashi Sora lifted her daughter up and spun her around twice. "Lanlan is so great!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha silently watched this scene, her gaze falling on Eriri.

She seemed to know... why Eriri was so angry, but she didn't say anything.

"What are you looking at?" Eriri glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a fierce yet cute expression.

“Hmm…” Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment, “Eriri.”

"what?"

"You are the best child in my eyes."

"You want to be my dad?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "?"

Eriri glared fiercely at Kasumigaoka Utaha, then stomped her foot and turned to leave.

Eriri is the well-known Eri Kashiwagi in the industry; she wouldn't act all pitiful like a child.

Absolutely not!

But......

but.

Why did you leave me behind and work so hard in secret...?

Since you're working hard for me, let me work hard with you.

What is this now?

Give up your own creative pursuits and dedicate yourself to my creative endeavors.

Despite how hard it is, she still has to bear it all alone.

Why won't you let me work hard with you?

Aren't we... partners who work together?

Although I don't consider you a comrade, hmph!

Chapter 831 Simple Fishing

Why am I unhappy?

Even Eriri herself couldn't figure out the reason.

With a super-powerful animation production team, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, whom she hadn't truly collaborated with in a long time, working with her again after a long absence, Eriri should have been enjoying a dreamlike and happy time.

But...why?

Why can't I be happy?

Is he angry? It doesn't seem like it.

It's more like the same grievance as Kobayashi Ran.

If Kasumigaoka Utaha does anything to offend Eriri, no matter how small, Eriri will seize the opportunity to have a big argument with her and vent her unpleasant emotions.

But Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't do anything wrong; on the contrary, she did very well.

She found Eriri what could be called the best animation production team of the time. With this experience and the financial support of RER, Eriri no longer needs to worry too much about animation production.

Eriri, as the direct beneficiary, should have happily accepted all of this and been grateful.

Instead of throwing a tantrum.

But the more Eriri shouldn't have thrown a tantrum, the more her unhappiness tormented her.

Complex emotions churn and ferment, like a bottle of soda that has been violently shaken, bringing about irritating pressure.

Eriri didn't know what was wrong with her, but this complex and inexplicable emotion was clearly suppressing her, making her feel more and more aggrieved.

Until I just witnessed Kobayashi Megumi coaxing Kobayashi Ran.

Eriri has also begun to have some understanding of her own emotions.

But I don't want to admit it.

"It's fishing time!" Kobayashi Sora handed out fishing rods to everyone. "Today's lunch is grilled fish."

Eriri looked at the lake with some skepticism. "Can you really catch fish in such a big lake?"

"The fishing spot isn't here." Kobayashi Sora led everyone to a different location, finding a clear stream. "This is it."

Eriri looked at the clear stream water, "Isn't this even less?"

"Wait a moment." Kobayashi Sora waved in one direction. "This way."

A staff member approached carrying a bucket. "Here?"

"Thank you for your hard work," Kobayashi Sora replied. "You can leave it here."

"Okay." The staff member picked up the bucket and poured its contents into the stream. "I'll put in about twenty for now, and add more if needed."

“Okay, thank you.” Kobayashi Sora turned to the crowd. “Look, there are twenty rainbow trout here.”

Yinglili: "..."

"So there's another way to do this," Kasumigaoka Utaha laughed. "I've learned something new."

"Isn't this great?" Kobayashi Megumi and her daughter squatted by the river, looking at the fish with rainbows on their sides. "If we had come back empty-handed, we would have gone hungry."

"I was wondering why you would use such a risky method as fishing to prepare lunch..." Eriri said speechlessly, "As expected of you."

“We’re not experienced anglers,” Kobayashi Sora said, taking out various fishing gear from her bag. “We can’t expect to catch fish so easily.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha corrected, "Even experienced anglers don't catch many."

Ran Kobayashi asked curiously, "How do you fish for it?"

“Use this.” Kobayashi Sora took out salmon roe. “Put the bait on the hook, then swing the hook near the fish.”

Stream fishing doesn't even require a float; the fish that are thrown in are obviously hungry, and they bite as soon as the hook is lowered.

Kobayashi Sora lifted the fishing rod, scooped up the fish with the net, removed the hook, and put the fish into the bucket. "That's it."

"Wow!" Xiaolin Lan shouted excitedly, "Lanlan wants to try it too!"

"Okay, but the hook is very sharp, so Dad will have to do both baiting and removing the hook, okay?"

"Division of labor and cooperation," Xiaolin Lan nodded vigorously, "Lanlan understands."

“It’s really that simple.” Kasumigaoka Utaha tried it out and immediately caught a fish. “Hmm? The hook got swallowed.”

"This requires a hook remover." Kobayashi Sora held the fish in her hand and used the small tool to push the hook out. "That way you can get it out."

"Hmm...it's taken the bait." Kobayashi Megumi was a little flustered and subconsciously wanted to reel in the line.

"Slow down," Kobayashi Sora said, grasping her hand holding the fishing rod from behind. "Lift the rod slowly; if you go too fast..."

"It's on the hook!" Xiao Linlan, who had been watching the hook closely, immediately lifted the fishing rod when she saw a fish bite it.

The rainbow trout burst out of the water, twisted sharply in mid-air, and then splashed back into the water.

"..." Xiaolin Lan looked at the empty fishing hook, then turned to look at her parents who were hugging each other, "Hmm..."

"Lanlan, come help Mommy," Kobayashi Megumi called out, "Use the net to catch the fish."

"Here it comes!" Xiaolin Lan put down her fishing rod and picked up her net.

As Kobayashi Megumi pulled the fish over, she immediately raised the net to catch it.

"We did it!" Lin Lan looked happily at the fish in the net; she had caught it with her parents.

Rice cake silently turned its head and glanced at Eriri.

Eriri gripped the fishing rod with both hands and replied irritably, "I'm really sorry to disappoint you!"

Nian Gao silently turned her head to look at the fish in the stream.

Eriri couldn't understand why everyone else was doing so well while she couldn't catch anything.

Eriri's dazzling blonde hair practically shimmered in the sunlight as she continued to try.

Nian Gao got up and stretched, then approached the stream for a closer look. Like a statue, she remained motionless for quite some time.

Then......

Snapped!

The fluffy claws slapped into the water, and the sharp claws snapped out to hook the approaching fish. As the claws exerted force, Nian Gao lowered its head, opened its mouth, and snatched the fish.

The movements were clean and crisp, and the whole process was smooth and effortless.

Biting the wriggling fish, Nian Gao glanced at Eriri again.

Eriri: "......" What's so fun about fishing!

"Hold on." Kasumigaoka Utaha grabbed Eriri's hand. "She's taken the bait."

"You..." Eriri wanted to tell her to let go, but when she caught sight of the fish that had taken the bait, she decided to reel it in first.

With a splash, the rainbow trout was pulled from the water.
