How to raise a random guy's wife

Bite hard.

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little uncomfortable watching this and tried to divert Eriri's attention by changing the subject. "Now that I think about it, Sonoko's expression seems a bit unnatural. They probably haven't been dating for very long."

“Oh yeah,” Eriri replied irritably, “You’re very observant, I have to give you credit.”

“It’s not certain yet, but if they really do confirm their relationship…” Kasumigaoka Utaha paused, “it would actually be quite nice.”

"is it?"

“You know Akane’s temper, and with her unusual schedule, it’s hard for her to even have a relatively friendly relationship with people, let alone interact with them,” Kasumigaoka Utaha analyzed bit by bit. “If nothing unexpected happens, she’ll probably become the kind of manga artist who marries into manga.”

"And then there are those who marry light novel authors and those who marry anime directors." Eriri calmed down a little, but her tone was still not very good. "Isn't Sonoko-nee doing just fine?"

“Her…” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked on with a look of reminiscence, “She also had quite a few personality problems.”

Eriri scoffed, "I think it's your personality that's the problem, which is why you see other people as having personality problems."

Do you see a problem with me?

"Yes!" Eriri replied immediately, "There's a big problem!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Then you have a personality problem."

Yinglili: "..."

“Seriously speaking,” Kasumigaoka Utaha took a sip of red bean soup, “she’s the type who can’t leave other people alone.”

"There's this type too?"

"Is it because I have strong empathy, or because I worry too much...?"

Eriri looked up. "I remember she was a very capable person at work."

“Work is work, and life is life.” Kasumigaoka Utaha further explained, “She feels uneasy if she sees someone she wants to help and doesn’t help them.”

Eriri has been busy designing game characters lately, accumulating some experience in character creation, and is trying to guess, "Needed?"

“Yes, that’s a bit of a feeling.” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. “Remember that news story? The wife stabbed her husband with a knife so that he would need her to take care of him. Of course, Sonoko didn’t go that far.”

Eriri blinked. "Who are the people she's been taking care of now?"

"Me and Zhu Yin."

"I told you you had a problem!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "..." Eriri suddenly turned the tables on her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha finished her red bean and rice cake soup, then said, "Let's get serious."

"After you did something indecent?" Eriri was still angry.

"Shall we continue?"

Eriri: "...Where were we?"

“She is undoubtedly needed at work. As long as she does her job well, she can get a pleasant experience from it, which is why she was able to become the editor-in-chief so quickly.” Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her chin on her hand. “But in life, it is more difficult to get that kind of pleasant experience.”

"So even though I sometimes complain, I still take good care of you and Akane." Eriri also finished her red bean and rice cake soup, which Kasumigaoka Utaha had cooled down... no, it had been left out for a while, so the soup had cooled down a bit and was easy to drink. "And then you and me... so she started taking care of Akane?"

“I moved in with you because I felt she was being a bit too controlling,” Kasumigaoka Utaha recalled her decision. “But for someone like Akane who can’t take care of herself, it should be just right.”

Chapter 894 The Horror Plan

Eriri glared at her, "You talk as if you can take care of yourself."

"Of course I can."

"Then I won't cook tomorrow."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "That won't do."

Kasumigaoka Utaha could indeed survive on bread and milk alone, but that was before Eriri learned to cook.

It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.

"You call this being able to take care of oneself?"

"If you find a long-term, stable source of income, isn't that self-reliance?"

Eriri bristled, "You!"

“You’re talking about them,” Kasumigaoka Utaha reminded, “Don’t keep linking it to the two of us.”

"Who made that connection!"

"Anyway, it wasn't me..." Kasumigaoka Utaha saw that Eriri was about to explode again, so she immediately continued the previous topic, "So, although I was a little surprised at first, when I think about it calmly, it's more surprising that they only confirmed their relationship now."

Eriri frowned slightly. "But...won't this cause a lot of problems..."

"for example?"

"What others think..."

Do you think Zhu Yin would care?

"That's true." Eriri then thought of another, "What about the child?"

"child?"

"I can't have children."

"Isn't there also the azure sky?"

"Huh?" Eriri's eyes widened in disbelief. "Enoki agreed?"

"What's there to disagree about? Huiren is such a good person."

"This isn't about whether it's good or bad... this..." Eriri didn't know how to say it for a moment, "There are too many problems..."

“Emotionally speaking, Sora was raised by Zhu Yin, so it’s impossible for her to abandon her. From a practical standpoint, Zhu Yin’s creative abilities are undeniable, so Sora can’t afford to fall out with her,” Kasumigaoka Utaha countered. “What’s wrong with Sora treating them like her own child in their old age?”

“Ah… um… being a child… is really not a problem.” Eriri’s gaze flickered. “And you don’t have to raise them yourself. Sora and Megumi had a really tough time back then.”

"It seems like Lanlan has grown up in the blink of an eye. But in reality, the effort that Sora put into making and executing the plan was terrifying." Kasumigaoka Utaha recalled what she found at Kobayashi's house. "Do you remember that form?"

"That densely packed one?" Eriri's head throbbed just thinking about it. "It's terrifying."

By chance, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri discovered the plan that Kobayashi Sora had devised.

The tables that make you dizzy just looking at them include physical development indicators, the progress of various abilities, the selection of early education games... and even the toys to use each month are planned out.

For example, in the first month, Kobayashi Sora established corresponding parenting strategies, including but not limited to constantly talking to the baby, having plenty of skin-to-skin contact, cuddling and stroking the baby often, watching the baby with smiles and rich expressions to make the baby laugh, practice lifting their head, and learn to roll over, and taking the baby out in the sun when the weather is nice...

It also includes data such as birth length, weight, feeding, etc., and the overall developmental progress of abilities, such as specific characteristics of gross motor skills, fine motor skills, adaptability, language ability, and social skills.

Kasumigaoka Utaha only learned about Kobayashi Sora's plan after seeing it. A one-month-old baby can see objects within 25 centimeters, can pay attention to and follow objects within their field of vision, and will hold onto appropriately sized objects for a short time.

Even when it comes to games, Kobayashi Sora has planned out the necessary toys, things to keep in mind when playing with her baby, the tone of voice, specific actions, corresponding expressions, and lines. She has also marked the baby's developmental abilities.

Even before Kobayashi Ran was born, Kobayashi Sora had meticulously planned out her monthly allowance, which was a thick stack of money.

When Kobayashi Megumi discovered this, Kobayashi Sora had already planned what she should do when Kobayashi Ran turned three.

Although they knew Kobayashi Sora was a control freak, after spending so much time together, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri had gotten used to it, and even had the illusion that Kobayashi Sora had changed.

It wasn't until they saw the plan that the two truly realized just how terrifying Kobayashi Sora's controlling nature was.

It's not a big deal if it's just a desire for control. Most people have some degree of control and hope things go the way they want, which is harmless.

However, the combination of a terrifying desire for control and terrifying planning and execution abilities makes it a bit too terrifying.

Eriri still gets goosebumps when she thinks about it now. She gestured with her hand to indicate the height of the plan, "Is this the embodiment of Sora Ao's controlling nature and planning ability?"

"Don't you think his plan is really brilliant?" Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned forward slightly. "I feel like if it were published as a book, it would definitely be a bestseller."

“Indeed… but it’s best if this kind of terrifyingly controlling product doesn’t become a bestseller.” Eriri pictured the adorable Ran Kobayashi in her mind. “Thinking about it this way, it’s actually more practical. It can understand Sora, keep him in check, and let Ran grow up freely and happily.”

“So you’re saying that Eika is just as cunning as I am,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said, resting her chin on her hand. “I could never do it.”

“Me too…” Eriri sighed, “It’s already a lot of work for me to take care of you.”

"Cooking for someone counts as raising them?"

"What else? Should I feed you?"

"Too little, not enough to eat."

Eriri instinctively looked down, then suddenly looked up, "What do you want to eat!"

"You were the one who brought it up first, and now you're blaming me?"

"I'm being serious, it's your thinking that's not serious."

Kasumigaoka Utaha skillfully shifted the blame back, "It's because you often think about inappropriate things that when you talk about serious things, I also think about inappropriate things."

"Why are you blaming me again!" Eriri glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha. "You thought it was too small, yet you touched it for so long!"

"I've never touched one this small before."

"You talk like you touch the big one all the time."

Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head, then looked up. "Yeah."

"..." Eriri grinded her little white teeth and silently got up to tidy up the dishes.

"Just leave it there and I'll tidy it up."

"No need." Eriri took the bowl and chopsticks into the kitchen.

Kasumigaoka Utaha got up and followed him. "Are you angry?"

"Angry? What do I have to be angry about?" Eriri walked out of the kitchen, just in time to meet Kasumigaoka Utaha who was following her. "I can get my revenge right away, why would I be angry?"

"Report—uh~" Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lower lip, "Eriri..."

"This is your retribution!" Eriri grinned mischievously. "Struggle a little harder. It's quite boring if you don't struggle."

Chapter 895 has just begun.

Kasumigaoka Utaha knows that Eriri is vengeful.

But I didn't expect it to be this strong.

It turns out I wasn't angry when I was clearing the dishes.
