How to raise a random guy's wife

In order to quickly recoup funds, animations are produced and broadcast simultaneously. Everything is fine before the broadcast, but if a problem occurs in just one episode, a series of problems will follow.

When it's truly impossible to air the episode in time, they can only re-edit footage from previous episodes into a single episode, ostensibly as a plot recap, but in reality, it's just a way to buy time for production and drag out the runtime.

If all else fails, the only option is to stop airing. There are cases where an anime series changes from a July season to an October season and then back to a January season.

"So, compared to the twists and turns of the process, everyone is more focused on the final result." Kobayashi Megumi waved the manuscript in her hand. "You produced an excellent animation right after your debut, achieving great success with a niche style. Now you have a new idea, and this idea is very suitable for making into an animation, so why not let you make the animation directly?"

"If it's about making animation..." Hashima Izumi looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Utaha, could you help me out again this time?"

“The last collaboration was very pleasant, but this time…” Kasumigaoka Utaha patted Eriri’s head, “I decided a long time ago to help Eriri complete the anime adaptation of One-Punch Man. I have worked hard for this for quite some time. Now that the production team is in place, I can’t get away. I’m sorry.”

“No, no, no,” Po Island waved his hand, “it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, I didn’t take your schedule into account.”

"Do you have any recommendations, Shiha?" Mayu Sagara asked, patting Izumi Hashima's shoulder. "A producer who is reliable, easy to communicate with, capable, responsible, and compatible with Izumi?"

“I actually have a pretty good candidate here,” Kasumigaoka Utaha thought of a very reliable person. “What do you think of Nyanmori?”

“Aoi Miyamori?” Hashima Izumi recalled, “The lovely and reliable production manager I worked with before.”

"Yes, she started from the production department and has always worked very hard. She is highly regarded among her colleagues." After praising her, Kasumigaoka Utaha truthfully pointed out Miyamori Aoi's shortcomings: "As an animation producer, her ability is not a problem, but her network is slightly lacking, and her communication with various parties is relatively immature."

“I’ll help with connections,” Kobayashi Sora said, who was exceptionally gifted in this area. “Don’t worry.”

"As for communication with all parties..." Kobayashi Megumi recalled the plan that Kobayashi Sora had discussed with her before, "The theme and content of this animation are quite suitable, and there shouldn't be too much controversy. With its unique style and your previous achievements as a guarantee, it can be produced entirely by RER. This will also save you the trouble of communicating with investors."

"I'll contact Nyanmori later," Hashima Izumi murmured with a sigh. "A new anime..."

Chapter 982 Naming Talent

"We can start the project now," Kobayashi Sora asked. "What's the name of this animation?"

"Huh?" Boshima blinked blankly.

Kobayashi Megumi flipped through the original manuscript, which had no title. "Haven't you thought of a name yet?"

"Oh right!" Poshima Izumi suddenly remembered his original purpose. "I had been thinking about what name to come up with, but after thinking of several, I wasn't satisfied with any of them, so I drew one chapter and came to find you guys."

"The name..." Eriri thought for a moment, "...'Daily Life of Fairies'?"

“Although it fits the theme…” Mayu Sagara had also considered this name, “but it feels like it would easily remind people of Fairy Tail, and they’re not fairies, they don’t know magic or anything.”

“Indeed, it’s best to avoid it if possible,” Kasumigaoka Utaha suggested. “How about using the protagonist’s name?”

“Hakumei and Mikochi…” Hashima Izumi murmured, “Although the direction is very clear, the theme is not so distinct.”

Kobayashi Megumi suggested, "What about 'The Unknown Forest'?"

Bo Island shook his head, "It feels a bit like a suspense thriller..."

Eriri had a new idea: "How about 'The Self-Reliant Little Man'?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed, "When choosing a name, try to remove the names of other works from your mind."

The name is clearly derived from "The Borrower".

Mayu Sagara looked at Sora Kobayashi and asked, "Sora, what are your thoughts?"

"No..." the others shouted in unison to stop them.

They knew all too well about Kobayashi Sora's talent for naming things.

Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, "Hmm... how about 'The Little One in the Fairy Forest'?"

"It clearly states the theme and location of the story. The name 'Fairy Forest' shows that this forest is different from other forests. It's cute and straightforward." Mayu Sagara said, puzzled, "Isn't this a very good name?"

Bo Island nodded, "It's really perfect."

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back slightly, "You actually know how to name things?"

Eriri asked curiously, "Could it be that the ability to name things can also be improved?"

"Why can't it be upgraded? Besides, I've always been good at choosing names." Kobayashi Sora said helplessly, "Several of the previous ones were not suitable, so we just need to summarize her requirements."

"So it was a trial-and-error method." Kasumigaoka Utaha understood. "What was the name you initially wanted to choose?"

"Two Lovely Little Fairies".

Eriri nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like you."

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

"That's a great start!" Kobayashi Megumi patted Kobayashi Sora's head. "It will only get better and better."

Kobayashi Sora hugged Kobayashi Megumi, saying, "My wife is the best."

"Of course." Kasumigaoka Utaha hugged Eriri. "This is my wife."

"Tell me everything!" Eriri blushed.

Sagara Mayu: "???"

Island hopping trip: "!!!"

What's with this atmosphere where it seems like we're the only singles around?

It was as if a thick wall had suddenly appeared, separating the two of them from them and all of them.

"Eri's One-Punch Man and Hara Takagi-san, Mayu's Cells at Work!, Izumi's Fairy Forest Little One, Utaha's Control Freak..." Kobayashi Megumi murmured, "Looks like I'll be busy with a lot this year."

“And the game script,” Eriri added, “it should be finished soon. I’m writing the script and drawing the character designs at the same time. The more I write, the more complete it becomes, and the faster it gets.”

“And there’s also the Virtual Festival on March 2nd,” Mayu Sagara thought of her mission, “there are a lot of things to prepare.”

"My recent work has mainly revolved around the release of 'White Album'," Kasumigaoka Utaha recalled. "The game's promotional video has already been released, and the official release should be around..."

Valentine's Day.

"Mommy, Mommy~" Ran Kobayashi, who was making Valentine's Day chocolates with Megumi Kobayashi, looked up and asked, "Will Shiha's mommy and Eriri's mommy come today?"

“Today,” Kobayashi Megumi thought for a moment, “they’re not coming today.”

Why?

"Because they're spending today alone at home," Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "Just the two of them."

"Aren't you going to play with Lanlan anymore?"

"Of course not, it's just that on special days, we want to have a private chat together," Kobayashi Megumi explained. "Sometimes Ranran also wants to be alone with her mother, right?"

"That's right, if Daddy were here too, Mommy would hug Daddy."

Kobayashi Megumi blushed a little at her daughter's comment, "I didn't hold her the whole time."

"Yes, sometimes it's Daddy who holds Mommy."

Kobayashi Megumi: "......"

Ran Kobayashi tilted her head. "So they're coming tomorrow?"

"If Lanlan misses them, she can call them."

"Lanlan will call them later." Xiaolin Lan continued stirring the chocolate.

"I'm home." Kobayashi Sora opened the door, carrying the groceries she had bought.

"Daddy, Daddy~" Xiaolin Lan put down her spoon, ran happily out of the kitchen, and jumped into Xiaolin Kongqing's arms. "Daddy, do you want to spend some time alone with Lanlan?"

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora was taken aback by the question, put down the bag and picked up her daughter. "Where's Mommy?"

“Daddy can hold Lanlan, and Mommy can hold Nian Gao.” Xiaolin Lan hugged Xiaolin Kongqing’s neck. “Then Daddy can hold Nian Gao, and Mommy can hold Lanlan.”

Rice Cake: "Meow~" Seems not very happy.

"Then they don't need to be alone together. When Lanlan is with her mother, her father can hold her too."

"No, no," Xiaolin Lan shook her head. "If Daddy sees Mommy, he'll hug her."

Kobayashi Sora blushed a little at her daughter's comment, "I didn't hold her the whole time."

"Yes, sometimes it's Mom who hugs Dad."

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

Kobayashi Megumi walked out of the kitchen with a smile, "My daughter already asked me once, 'Did I hug that many?'"

"Of course!" Xiaolin Lan answered earnestly. "When Lanlan is at home, she can turn around and see her parents hugging each other."

"Really?" Kobayashi Megumi approached. "Ranran is hugging her dad right now."

"Hmm..." Xiaolin Lan released her little hands from Xiaolin Kongqing's arm. "Then Lanlan will be alone with Mommy from now on."

Kobayashi Sora feigned pitifulness, "What about Dad?"

"Daddy's holding rice cakes~"

Rice Cake: "Meow~" It's already protesting very hard.

"You can do it like this too!" Kobayashi Megumi hugged Kobayashi Sora, who was holding Kobayashi Ran. "This way everyone can hug!"

Chapter 983 It Tastes Even Better

"Rice cake~" Xiaolin Lan waved her little hand, "Come over here and let's give each other a hug."

Rice Cake: "Meow~" No need for that, the big cat went to eat its cat food.

"When Lanlan grows up," little Lin Lan snuggled against her father and mother, "she can hug her father and mother together too."

“But if we keep hugging like this,” Kobayashi Megumi reminded her, “we won’t be able to finish making all the chocolate.”

"Yes, the chocolate isn't ready yet!" Xiaolin Lan waved her little hand. "Daddy, Daddy~ We're going to make chocolate!"

Kobayashi Sora reluctantly let go of her hand. "Do you need my help?"

"No, Lanlan and Mom have to do it." Xiaolin Lan wouldn't let Xiaolin Kongqing into the kitchen.

Kobayashi Sora sat in the kitchen for a while, then turned to look at Mochi, "Give me a hug?"

Rice Cake: "Meow~"

It has absolutely no connection to the past.

Kobayashi Sora recalled the little-known fact that Kobayashi Megumi had told him: kittens in their dependency phase are always very clingy, but when they grow up, they will run away if you try to cling to them.

Ran Kobayashi put the chocolate in the refrigerator to chill, and then all that was left was to wait for the chocolate to cool and set.
