How to raise a random guy's wife

This guy seems to have gotten used to it.

Eriri shook her head. "N-nothing. Um...donuts...should we go to a cafe?"

"The coffee shop is nice..." Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment, "Have you ever tried eating a donut in a movie theater?"

Eriri: "Huh?"

There is now.

Sitting in the dark movie theater, Eriri ate a donut in small bites.

Her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the direction of Kasumigaoka Utaha.

At first, it felt a little strange.

After all, the other audience members around him were eating popcorn.

But when I actually started eating it, I found it tasted quite good.

Compared to the somewhat noisy popcorn, soft donuts are actually a good choice.

Eriri was initially worried that someone would be staring at her.

In reality, everyone's attention was on the movie, on the people around them, and on the popcorn in front of them.

Everyone has their own life, and everyone has their own interests.

I don't have that much time to pay attention to others.

Ultimately, everyone is already doing their best to live their own lives, so where would they find the energy to spare for others?

Popcorn is delicious, and so are donuts.

The important thing is the taste you experience yourself.

It's more important to focus on your own experience than to care about what others think.

Kasumigaoka Utaha... probably thinks the same way.

Eriri looked at the screen.

Utaha Kasumigaoka originally wanted to choose a horror movie, but Eriri strongly objected.

Eriri wanted to watch an animated movie, so she checked out the latest trends and wanted to learn from them.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha said that when going on a date, one should not think about creative matters, so she ultimately chose a school-themed youth film.

The story tells of a girl who falls ill after a car accident and loses her memory of the day every time she falls asleep. To protect his classmate, the boy pretends to confess his feelings to her. Unexpectedly, the girl accepts the confession and promises not to actually fall in love with him. The two begin a fake relationship.

As creators, even though Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri didn't intentionally analyze the story's structure, they could guess what would happen next after seeing the beginning.

This fake act will inevitably become real.

Sure enough, as the story unfolded, the two truly fell in love with each other.

The story also includes some subplots.

For example, the female lead wants to go to art college, and the male lead's sister is a writer.

Utaha and Eriri Kasumigaoka, who clearly wanted to forget about the date they created, unexpectedly saw content related to their creation in the movie again.

However... as the plot progressed, neither of them thought about the creative aspects anymore.

The male and female leads are both good-looking and have excellent acting skills. Despite the somewhat clichéd plot, the story uses cinematic language and a unique narrative perspective to depict a beautiful and refreshing romance.

The subtle yet direct confession at the final fireworks display made it all the more enticing.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri quickly became engrossed in it, and then...

The male protagonist suddenly died of a heart attack.

Before his death, the male protagonist asked the female protagonist's friend to help him replace the female protagonist's diary and erase all traces of his existence.

This way, the female protagonist can forget him and won't be saddened by his departure.

But love isn't written in a diary.

It doesn't even exist in memory.

The female lead, who attended the male lead's funeral, couldn't stop crying even though she didn't know him.

Even without any memory of him in her mind, she could still draw his image again and again.

In the end, the female protagonist's friend returned the original diary to her, and she learned about what had happened and the person she had loved.

The female protagonist's illness has not improved.

She will forget him.

And then I remember it again and again.

"He died on the day he loved me the most, and his last wish was for me to forget him forever."

The movie has ended.

We've finished the donuts too.

"What kind of movie is this..." Eriri muttered as she walked out of the theater, wiping away tears with the subtle gesture of pushing up her glasses. "The plot is so melodramatic."

"Amnesia, incurable disease, fake acting turning real, life and death separation... it feels like they used every trick in the book." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up at the sky. "The narrative at the beginning was relatively smooth, but it suddenly started to speed up later... However, it was smart not to give the second female lead too much screen time, and it didn't make the melodramatic story even more melodramatic. Overall, it felt very restrained."

Kasumigaoka Utaha kept rambling on, as if she was trying to cover something up.

"Well... the style is fairly refreshing..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. "The angle from which you approach the story is also very good."

The air fell silent for a moment.

There's still so much to say about the movie, but that's all we can say for now.

If I say a few more words, she might burst into tears.

The two could only point out the film's flaws, but the film was really good and had very few shortcomings.

After exchanging a few words, silence fell between them.

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke first, "Going home?"

"Mmm," Eriri replied softly.

Eriri got into the passenger seat, and Kasumigaoka Utaha started the car.

"Is it really okay?" Eriri looked out the window.

It was getting late, and the streetlights were warm.

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha gripped the steering wheel, staring straight ahead. "What?"

Is it really okay to make your loved one forget you?

“Or rather,” Kasumigaoka Utaha tapped her fingers on the steering wheel, “is it really a good thing to make a lover who can forget remember the one who has already left?”

"But those are very important memories... memories of two people." Eriri recalled their date today: shopping for clothes together, eating delicious food together, running around in the haunted house together, and watching a movie together. "I don't want to forget them."

“The female lead is sick, she has anterograde amnesia. She forgets everything that happened the day before when she wakes up.” Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed. “It’s not a matter of whether she wants to or not.”

“So…” Eriri recalled her haunted house experience, “We should remember things properly. We’re really lucky, aren’t we? Our memories are fine, and our bodies are fine too.”

"You've already set a flag."

“Kongqing has always arranged physical examinations, so I’m relieved since Zhuyin got sick.” As they spoke, the two had already arrived home. Eriri’s eyes shifted to Kasumigaoka Utaha beside her, “Utaha.”

"Ok?"

"If I could do it tomorrow..."

"Why don't you think about your creative work instead?" Kasumigaoka Utaha turned to look at Eriri. "At least that's a bit more auspicious."

"I mean..."

Chapter 932 I can see it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri, who was so close to her, and was a little worried about her mental state.

Having lived with Eriri for so long, Kasumigaoka Utaha is well aware of Eriri's sensitivity.

That sounds a bit strange. If Eriri heard that, she'd probably misunderstand.

Kasumigaoka Utaha refers to that kind of serious sensitivity.

Eriri is the kind of person who is easily influenced.

She can stick to her own ideas when it comes to creative work, but in life, Kasumigaoka Utaha can make her furious with just a few words.

Or rather, it is precisely because she is able to keenly receive all kinds of information in life, coupled with her own delicate mind, that she was able to form her own unique Kashiwagi Eri style.

Eriri has many thoughts about life, existence, and the human condition.

These reflections may not necessarily lead to any conclusions, but they will be reflected in her works, adding a unique charm to them.

Just like Kasumigaoka Utaha can conjure up a thousand-word emotional entanglement from ordinary passersby.

Eriri draws inspiration from everyday things that people take for granted. Raindrops sliding past the window and ripples on the water's surface evoke unique feelings in Eriri.

Not to mention such an excellent movie.

Film combines time and space art, visual and auditory art, modeling and dynamic art, representational and expressive art, and with the unique atmosphere of the cinema, it brings people a highly immersive experience.

Eriri, who is easily influenced by others, is acting a little strange now, which is perfectly normal.

Now, Kasumigaoka Utaha understands more clearly why Kobayashi Sora loves planning so much.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, wanting Eriri to forget about her writing and relax, planned to give her a perfect date.

First, we went shopping at the mall, then enjoyed Eriri's favorite food, followed by a thrilling visit to a haunted house, and finally, we watched a movie to conclude the day.

Everything went well up to the beginning, and there was even a pleasant surprise of meeting a friend. But the problem arose at the very end when it came to choosing a movie.

If I could be like Kobayashi Sora, planning which movie to watch before the date even starts, the ending would definitely be more enjoyable.

Because they chose the wrong movie, their date is now going to end in a rather somber atmosphere.

Judging from Eriri's current state, she is clearly having negative thoughts.

Even though Kasumigaoka Utaha tried to change the subject with jokes, Eriri remained the same.
