How to raise a random guy's wife

Eriri's eyes lit up as she reached out and caught the lively fish.

Fishing is so much fun!

Before long, the previously empty fish cage was filled with fish.

Kobayashi Sora picked up the fish trap and said, "Alright, let's go make lunch."

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri helped Kobayashi Ran start a fire, while Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora found a slightly farther place to process the fish.

Skewer the cleaned fish with wooden chopsticks and roast it near the fire. It will soon release an enticing aroma. Season with salt. This simple method can also produce a delicious dish.

Chapter 832 I Don't Want To Either

Rainbow trout meat is delicious and has no fishy smell. Kobayashi Ran took a bite and happily twisted her body twice.

Whether it was psychological or not, Eriri felt that the fish she caught tasted especially delicious, and even more so when paired with rice balls.

After eating and drinking her fill, Xiao Linlan immediately became lazy and listless.

I was just looking around, but now I just want to lie down.

"Want to try this?" Kobayashi Sora asked, lifting up a large piece of cloth.

Xiaolin Ran asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Hammock." Kobayashi Sora looked around, chose two suitable trees, and together with Kobayashi Ran, tied the hammock up. "Come on~"

Kobayashi Sora picked up Kobayashi Ran and placed her in the hammock. "How are you feeling?"

"It feels like lying on a cloud!" Xiaolin Lan swayed a couple of times, and her whole body swayed along with the hammock.

"If you move around too much, you might fall down." Kobayashi Sora reached out her hand. "Daddy will help you push."

The hammock swayed gently, and Xiaolin Lan initially laughed happily, but as she laughed, she fell asleep.

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi sat on folding chairs, looking at their sleeping daughter with similar tenderness in their eyes.

“Now it seems…” Kobayashi Megumi whispered, “Shiyu’s plan is still quite simple.”

Kobayashi Megumi had already noticed this when Kasumigaoka Utaha firmly suspended her creative work and began to pursue a career as an anime producer.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is a very thoughtful person who likes to keep most things to herself.

When faced with important choices, especially those that might involve others, Kasumigaoka Utaha usually chooses to act alone and rely on her own efforts to achieve her goals.

This style of doing things is mainly influenced by two factors.

On one hand, Kasumigaoka Utaha has always been an excellent student, ranking first in her class in high school and university. She is very confident in her abilities and believes that she can solve problems independently.

On the other hand, because of her outstanding abilities and appearance, she suffered a lot of emotional abuse. She was very aware of how much influence one person could have on another's mind and body, so she did not want to affect other people too much.

There are no major problems in their daily interactions, but when something big happens, Kasumigaoka Utaha's first thought is to solve it independently without affecting others as much as possible.

Kobayashi Megumi had long suspected that Kasumigaoka Utaha had her own plans, but out of trust in Kasumigaoka Utaha, she did not investigate further and instead silently supported her along with Kobayashi Sora.

After all, Kasumigaoka Utaha wouldn't act tough like Eriri. If she really encounters a serious problem, Kasumigaoka Utaha will directly ask Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi for help.

Kobayashi Sora nodded. "The panties incident should be a turning point."

Now everything is clear.

Even if Kobayashi Megumi doesn't delve into it, Kasumigaoka Utaha's plan is already quite clear, and it has achieved considerable success.

With the development of RER, neither Kobayashi Sora nor Kobayashi Megumi could devote all their energy to Kasumi Eri.

As a result, the "Panties" incident occurred.

The producer absconded with the money, resulting in extremely poor quality anime adaptations of Eriri's works.

At that time, Kasumigaoka Utaha realized Kasumigaoka Eri's problem.

There is a lack of a more focused animator.

So Kasumigaoka Utaha took the initiative to go to UWANPICTURES with Kobayashi Sora to get a preliminary feel for producer-related work.

Immediately after encountering a creative block, Kasumigaoka Utaha decided to suspend her creative work and instead pursue a career as an animator.

As a fan of Eri Kashiwagi, Utaha Kasumigaoka is naturally the best and most suitable producer to adapt Eriri's works into anime.

If she can become an excellent producer, she can guarantee the quality of all of Eriri's future animated works.

Her attitude ensured the minimum standard for the animation, while her abilities determined its upper limit.

Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't want to use her experience as a producer to gain creative inspiration; she genuinely wants to put aside her creative work and focus on becoming an excellent anime producer.

Now, Kasumigaoka Utaha has not only become an excellent animator, but she has also gained inspiration in the process and started creating again, which is a pleasant surprise.

But there is a problem with this.

This plan... seems to have absolutely no need to be hidden.

Eriri lay on the fallen leaves, with the tranquil lake not far away.

But her heart was not at peace.

"I will continue to work hard and make even better animations with you!"

Eriri's words about going out to sea echoed in her ears.

What kind of feeling is this...?

Kasumigaoka Utaha is pursuing a career as an anime producer, and Eriri chooses to believe in and support her.

Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha busy and exhausted, Eriri wanted to help her countless times, but after Kasumigaoka Utaha firmly refused, she took the initiative to keep her distance from Kasumigaoka Utaha, allowing her to work hard on her own and unleash her potential.

Then Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hashima Izumi collaborated on "Mononoke," and even said they would continue to work together in the future.

If we compare a work of art to a child.

In Eriri's view, this situation means that she was carefully preventing pregnancy, but as a result, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hashima Ikebab gave birth to a big, healthy boy.

That's too much!

I was right first.

Whether we get to know each other, collaborate, or create together.

I was the one who met Kasumigaoka Utaha first, so how did things turn out like this?

Why are they able to make such good animations?

Just how well-matched are you guys?!

Why...why did you hide it from me?

They'd rather find a new love than revisit the old one...

"Pah, pah, pah!" Eriri spat a few times in annoyance.

Who is that gloomy woman's ex-lover?

Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice rang out, "You're not spitting at me, are you?"

"You!" Eriri turned and glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha. "What are you doing here?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha gestured with her chin toward the Kobayashi family, "Are you willing to break that peace?"

Under the shade of the trees, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi snuggled together, watching Kobayashi Ran sleeping in a hammock. The big cat, Mochi, lay to one side. The autumn wind was blowing and the maple leaves were dancing in the air. The scene was as beautiful as a painting.

......really.

Eriri didn't want to disturb the atmosphere.

"Yinglili."

Eriri replied irritably, "What?"

"No matter how unhappy you are, I won't apologize," Kasumigaoka Utaha said calmly. "Because I did nothing wrong."

"...Who asked you to apologize?" Eriri bit her lower lip, then casually let go. "Who would be unhappy because of you! I'm very happy!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat down next to Eriri. "Actually... I didn't want this to happen either."

Chapter 833 I Don't Care

What kind of typical scumbag statement is this?

Eriri stared at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

I feel like Kasumigaoka Utaha's next line is going to be...

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed, "But there's nothing I can do if that's what you think."

Eriri bristled, "You actually said it!"

“These are the words I want to say,” Kasumigaoka Utaha countered, “Why can’t I say them?”

"You..." Eriri was speechless, followed by anger, "Why?! Why can you say whatever you want? Why do I have to suffer in silence?! You said you were working hard to become the best producer for the anime adaptation of my future work, you're so amazing! You said it was for me, but you only satisfied yourself! Did you even consider my feelings? Who cares about the future! Now you've made a fantastic anime with someone else, why someone else?! I was here first! Whether it's collaboration or the anime, I was the one who collaborated with you first... You can say whatever you want, do whatever you want, but I have to consider your feelings, consider your thoughts, want to help but not dare to help, want to care but not dare to care! What do you take me for? A pet that can't do anything right and needs your careful care? Even Mochi can help Megumi take care of Ranran! In your eyes, I'm not even as good as a cat?"

Eriri, almost in despair, rambled on and on, venting all her pent-up frustrations.

She didn't want to cry like Ran Kobayashi, but tears welled up involuntarily.

What is this...?

She had always thought of herself and Kasumigaoka Utaha as companions who inspired each other, but being treated like this by Kasumigaoka Utaha made her feel more like a pet that leveled up by Kasumigaoka Utaha's experience.

If you bear all the hardships yourself, how can I muster the courage to ask you for help when I'm feeling down?

Kasumigaoka Utaha pauses her creative work, facing difficulties alone and striving to improve herself, all for the sake of giving Eriri the best animation production team.

That sounds amazing.

But what Eriri wanted was never the best production team, but rather partners who would criticize and compete with each other like before, just like in the beginning.

Kasumigaoka Utaha wholeheartedly prepares a gift for Eriri, unaware of Eriri's feelings.

Kasumigaoka Utaha threw away the apple Eriri wanted and gave her a carefully prepared pear instead.

But no matter how precious this pear is, it can't compare to the apple in Eriri's heart.

Eriri is an adult now and understands that even if she doesn't like a gift from someone, she should still accept it politely and express her sincere gratitude.

But Eriri is still Eriri; she can hide her thoughts, but she can't eliminate them.
