How to raise a random guy's wife

That's considered pretentious.

Eriri has witnessed all her progress over the years. Unlike directors like Hashima Ikebana who strive for unity between visuals and story, Eriri, as an illustrator, is clearly sprinting towards becoming a top-tier and all-around illustrator at an astonishing speed.

By constantly encountering new styles and techniques, Eriri will be able to forge ahead despite the challenges, and forge her own path.

If it were to settle down, given Eriri's procrastination tendencies, then it would truly be a sinking ship.

Eriri glared angrily at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

What are you doing?!

When Kasumigaoka Utaha heard this about going out to sea from Hashima, her face lit up with excitement.

When she said that herself, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked disgusted.

This is outrageous!

"We've talked about quite a few profound topics," Kobayashi Megumi clapped her hands. "During the animation production process, did anything interesting happen?"

With Kobayashi Megumi's guidance, the atmosphere finally relaxed, and everyone chatted about some interesting things that happened during the production process, which finally filled up the space.

After the interview, everyone went back to their own work.

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi returned to the president's office, exchanged a glance, and smiled at each other.

"Even though our relationship had improved," Kobayashi Sora recalled the atmosphere just now, "it felt like we were getting even more tense."

"Because the relationship has improved, we care more about it."

How much do you care?

Kobayashi Megumi pressed Kobayashi Sora into the office chair and massaged his shoulders. "How much do you want to care?"

"Mmm~" His wife's fair hands gently massaged his shoulders and neck, and Kobayashi Sorako relaxed completely. "I've been thinking too much."

“H”.

Kobayashi Sora: "Hmm?"

Let Kobayashi Sora rest her head on her body. Kobayashi Megumi's kneading motion had somehow become even gentler. "I was trying to help you relax your shoulders... It's all your fault."

"Let me help you relax too."

"Don't move~" Kobayashi Megumi gently pinched him, "I barely managed to hold back."

"So... we're still holding back for now?"

“Yeah, if you couldn’t resist,” Kobayashi Megumi leaned down and whispered in his ear, “it would turn out like this… ugh~”

Kobayashi Sora's voice was slightly unsteady, "What if I can't hold back any longer?"

"If I can't hold back any longer, it'll happen again..."

Kobayashi Sora's anticipation grew even stronger, "What if I couldn't resist at all..."

With a hint of helplessness in her bright eyes, Kobayashi Megumi glanced at Kobayashi Sora, then gently bit her lower lip, her moist lips moving closer to his. "If I can't hold back at all, then..."

Just as their lips were about to touch, Kobayashi Megumi straightened up and pulled away, saying, "I'm not telling you~"

Chapter 844 Various Hardships

Ran Kobayashi was watching TV while using rice cakes as a pillow when she suddenly sat up and sighed, "Sigh..."

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora noticed her daughter's movement. "What's wrong?"

"Dad..." Lin Lan said sadly, "We can't go back, can we?"

"Hmm...hmm?" Kobayashi Sora was completely confused.

Kobayashi Megumi looked at the TV. "Are you talking about when we were little?"

“Yes,” Xiaolin Lan said, looking at the baby sleeping soundly on TV. “Lanlan has grown up and can’t turn back into a baby.”

There's no way to go back...

Kobayashi Sora asked curiously, "Does Lanlan really want to turn back into a baby?"

“Yes,” Ran Kobayashi pointed to the TV, “babies can sleep all day long.”

Kobayashi Sora laughed, "Ranran is fine too."

“Lanlan is a big girl now. Smart kids go to kindergarten,” Xiaolin Lan corrected earnestly. “You can’t sleep all day.”

What she said made perfect sense, and Kobayashi Sora was unable to refute it for a moment.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi's eyes darted around, "If Lanlan wants, she can be a baby for a day now."

Ran Kobayashi's big eyes sparkled, "Really? Is it okay?"

"Of course!" Kobayashi Megumi picked up Kobayashi Ran. "Sweetie~ Time for bed~"

"Hmm~" Ran Kobayashi glanced at the TV, then, mimicking the baby on screen, curled up and made muffled sounds, "Aww aww..."

Looking at this scene, Kobayashi Sora felt somewhat dazed.

The image of Kobayashi Megumi comforting the child in his memory overlapped with the scene before him, giving him a dreamlike feeling as if time had reversed.

So much time has passed.

"Lanlan is such a good girl~" Kobayashi Megumi put Lanlan on the sofa, "Have a good sleep~"

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Ran lay on the sofa with her eyes open, "I can't sleep."

"That's not right," Xiaolin Lan reminded her, "Lanlan is still a baby and hasn't learned to talk yet."

"Ah, Lanlan forgot." Xiaolin Lan covered her mouth, "Awooo~"

"Daddy~" Kobayashi Megumi called softly, "Baby doesn't seem to be able to sleep."

Kobayashi Sora walked to the sofa, gently patted her daughter, and said, "Sweetie~"

Ran Kobayashi couldn't help but yawn, her eyes becoming glazed over.

Rice cake squeezed next to Kobayashi Ran and lay down close to her.

Xiaolin Lan squinted her eyes happily; she knew the baby's life was exceptionally good.

Megumi Kobayashi opened the refrigerator door, took out an ice cream, and asked, "Dad, would you like some ice cream?"

“I’ve already eaten,” Kobayashi Sora shook her head. “You can eat it.”

Megumi Kobayashi opened the ice cream packaging and said, "Then I'll eat it myself."

"Ran..." Little Lin Ran had just uttered a sound when she remembered her mother's reminder and realized that she was still a baby who couldn't speak. "Aww aww..."

"You woke up so quickly," said Kobayashi Megumi while eating her ice cream. "Ranran is a very light sleeper."

"Awooo...ah..." Ran Kobayashi tried to express her thoughts with muffled sounds, "I want to eat...awooo..."

Kobayashi Megumi smiled and said, "Dad, it seems like Lanlan just said something."

"Really?" Kobayashi Sora noticed Kobayashi Megumi's thoughts and naturally played along. "You must have misheard. Ranran is still a baby who can't talk."

"Awoo awoo!" Xiaolin Lan's voice gradually became anxious, then stopped abruptly.

She suddenly thought of a good idea.

Using her little hands to support herself as she sat up, Xiaolin Lan went straight to her mother.

Since words cannot express one's thoughts, one should express one's intentions through actions.

Megumi Kobayashi shook the spoon, "The baby can't walk yet."

"Hmm..." Ran Kobayashi sat on the carpet and reached out to Megumi Kobayashi, "Awooaaaaaaa~"

Kobayashi Sora understood what Kobayashi Ran meant. "Ranran seems to want to eat ice cream."

Ran Kobayashi nodded happily, "Awoo!"

Megumi Kobayashi tilted her head. "Ice cream... but Lanlan is still a baby, and babies can't eat ice cream."

"Uh-huh?"

"Well, because the baby is still very young and not as strong as older children," Kobayashi Megumi explained. "Even a small amount of ice cream can make the baby sick."

"Ouch..." Xiaolin Lan's voice was filled with disappointment as she rubbed her belly, "Ouch~"

Kobayashi Sora gently patted her daughter's tummy, "Do you still want Daddy to lull you to sleep?"

"Aww~" Xiaolin Lan shook her head and pointed to her mouth with her little finger, "Mmm..."

"Are you hungry and want to eat something?"

"Awoo!"

“If the baby is hungry…” Kobayashi Sora called out, “Mommy, Lanlan seems hungry.”

"Awoo!"

"It's time." Kobayashi Megumi put down the ice cream and hugged Kobayashi Ran. "What should we feed the baby if he's hungry?"

Xiaolin Lan blinked, then saw her mother unbuttoning her clothes, "Hmm..."

Her little face flushed red, and Lin Lan shook her head vigorously, "No... Lanlan is a big girl, not a little baby!"

Kobayashi Megumi's lips curled up. "Are you shy?"

"Mmm..." Xiaolin Lan hugged her mother, hiding her red little face.

Kobayashi Megumi's gaze shifted to Kobayashi Sora, "Even big kids know how to be shy..."

Kobayashi Sora felt that Kobayashi Megumi's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

“The little baby has it so tough…” Little Lin Lan looked up in her mother’s arms. “She can’t do this or that, and she can’t even eat ice cream.”

"That's why you have to grow up little by little and go to kindergarten." Kobayashi Megumi winked at Kobayashi Sora.

Kobayashi Sora understood and brought ice cream to her daughter, saying, "But it's okay to turn into a little baby like this sometimes."

Xiaolin Lan took the ice cream and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

After eating two scoops of ice cream, Lin Lan looked up again and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Megumi looked at her daughter in her arms. "Why did you say it twice?"

“Because when Lanlan was a baby, she couldn’t do anything. She couldn’t talk or walk…” Little Lin Lan looked up with deep affection. “It must have been very hard for Mom and Dad to take care of Lanlan when she was a baby.”
