How to raise a random guy's wife

Even over the phone, Kobayashi Sora could feel Tang Keke's infectious happiness.

Dreams...

Kobayashi Sora put down her phone.

What was my dream again?

When I was a child, I wanted to be a scientist; later I wanted to be rich; and finally I wanted a stable government job, a job where I could see my entire life from the beginning.

As a result, I worked myself to death at that lousy company.

If you have money, you don't have to think about anything else and can do whatever you want.

With this in mind, I begin a new life in a new world.

Dreams and such...

"Sky Blue?"

At some point, Kato Megumi walked out of the audiovisual classroom.

"Hui, what's wrong?"

"No... I just noticed you haven't been back to the classroom for a long time."

"Ah, Coco told me that they can continue their activities."

"That's great." Kato Megumi recalled how hard Shibuya Kanon and Tang Keke had worked. "Speaking of which, you've done a lot, haven't you?"

"Ah... um." Kobayashi Sora nodded.

It's like planting your own people among the audience to stir up trouble, generate online discussion, and buy followers...

These are all common tricks.

Of course, there's a limit to this. If it goes beyond the fiery passion that's been around for a long time, it'll seem a bit too fake.

Why not tell them?

“If they’re not strong enough, no matter how many tricks I use, it’ll be useless.” Kobayashi Sora shook her head. “Put in the effort and get the reward, that’s enough.”

“That makes sense,” Kato Megumi said, leaning against the wall. “But…”

"but?"

"You have to tell me, okay?" Kato Megumi tilted her head, her short hair scattering in strands with her movement, her eyes reflecting Kobayashi Sora's face. Kato Megumi reiterated, "If you do anything for me, you must tell me, okay?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Hmm...because I want to hear it."

“…Okay.” Kobayashi Sora nodded.

Dreams...

dream.

"I said..." Eriri poked her head out of the classroom, "How long are you guys going to slack off?"

"I wasn't slacking off." Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi returned to the classroom together.

"Kobayashi," Kasumigaoka Utaha in the back row looked up, "the rest is up to you."

"Correcting errors, right?" Kobayashi Sora took Kasumigaoka Utaha's red laptop, turned up the font size, and began to examine it word by word.

"It's finished?" Kobayashi Sora looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with some surprise.

"It's just an outline." Kasumigaoka Utaha casually tossed her long hair, crunching on a Pocky. "How much longer do we have to waste?"

This is more than just an outline...

Kobayashi Sora looked at the document and, apart from the outline information and a simple description, there were some specific short dialogues.

After revisions, a fairly qualified project proposal was officially completed.

Doujin Game Proposal (First Edition) by Kasumi Utako

Title: A Super-Healthy Bishoujo Game Project Tailor-Made by Riri for Riri (Tentative)

Genre: ADV – Defined as a traditional command-selection adventure game

Concept: Romance & Soul Reincarnation & Changing the Past – Based on a romance AVG where the protagonist and heroine develop feelings for each other through story events, this game adds the element of soul reincarnation (past life karma, memory inheritance) to further deepen the bond between the protagonist and heroine.

Setting: A certain city—a place a little further from the new residential areas, a city that retains its former charm. In the city center, there is a long ramp, where enchanting cherry blossoms bloom in spring.

The system uses two interfaces: action options and location options. Players select locations to filter heroines and then choose action options to increase their affection level (divided into modern and past chapters; actions in the modern chapter will also affect those in the past chapter).

Chapter 122 Don't say it!

The following sections include information on the number of characters, character introductions, their past and present lives, reincarnation-related settings, and a summary of the plot.

“Although I had expected my senior’s creative abilities,” Kobayashi Sora showed the other two members Kasumigaoka Utaha’s work, “I was still a little surprised that it was done so quickly.”

"Oh, right." Kasumigaoka Utaha rarely showed a slightly uneasy expression, looking to the side and twirling her long hair with her fingers. "I forgot to mention it before, but if possible, it would be great if you could forget what I said and did yesterday."

"Hmph, isn't that kind of habit commonplace for creators?" Eriri snorted, unusually not arguing with Kasumigaoka Utaha. "Creating things in your mind means separating yourself from the world, immersing yourself in impossible fantasies, and then pouring all your heart into bringing them to life—it's not surprising if you accidentally blurt out what you're thinking."

"Well... that's it." Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth, wanting to follow Eriri's lead, but then felt a little awkward and simply closed her mouth.

So you two actually get along quite well, right...?

Kobayashi Sora plugged in the USB drive. "I'll go to the teacher's office to print out a few copies, and then we can discuss them together."

“I’m listening to your discussion. I’ve already written the outline. The rest is the director’s job description…” Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback. “Where’s the director?”

"The director is working." Kobayashi Sora looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha. "Are you going to show it to him now?"

"if not?"

“Alright.” Kobayashi Sora sighed. “Let’s change our location and go directly to the restaurant where he works.”

Eriri frowned slightly. "He's working..."

"His boss is a nice person, and we have a good relationship. Taking a break to fish is no big deal."

Having learned from her mistakes, Kobayashi Sora specifically looked into Aki Tomoya's part-time job situation.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

[Characters] (Only two main characters. Two to three more female leads are planned.)

[Main Character (Present Life)]: Seiji Azumi (16 years old) – Transfer student. Moved due to his parents' job transfer. Easily becomes complacent.

[Main Character (Past Life)]: Bing Shuangzhen (18 years old) - Seiji's past life (great-grandfather). He has a strong sense of responsibility and a serious personality.

[First Female Lead (Present Life)]: Ye Xunli (16 years old) - A second-year high school student. She is a quiet and unassuming type, but upon closer inspection, she is a beautiful girl.

[First Female Lead (Past Life)]: Bing Liuli (12 years old) – Xunli's past life (great-grandmother). Shuangzhen's younger sister. Frail and sickly, with fair skin. She truly loves her brother Shuangzhen.

[Plot Summary]: The protagonist, Seiji, moves to a city due to his parents' job transfer. When he gets lost on the cherry blossom slope near his home, he meets a local girl. Seiji, who has transferred schools, reunites with the girl in his class—her name is Ye Xunli.

One day, Seiji and Junri happened to walk together on their way home. They passed by the cherry blossom-lined slope, and Seiji talked about how they first met, but Junri said it was a "reunion".

As they parted, Xunli murmured, "Goodnight, brother."

A few weeks later, the two confirmed their feelings for each other and became a couple. As their memories of their past lives returned, Xunli gradually remembered their past affections and the events that happened among their clans. There was a mastermind behind the extermination of their clan who still exists in this city.

To prevent the truth from being revealed, Liuli is confined to this city. Whenever she remembers the past, incomprehensible things begin to happen around them.

Having faced life-threatening crises repeatedly, the two are determined to fight against the enemy to protect each other. Xunli awakens Liuli's memories and uncovers the truth of the incident, while Seiji interferes with Shuangzhen's past actions and creates new memories in the past.

After a struggle, the crisis receded, and Seiji and Junri... no, Soma and Ruri, after seventy years, got married.

"Let's stay together forever, brother."

"This adaptation is..." Eriri sighed, "It's really a radical overhaul."

This ability to design storylines left the blonde with twin tails with mixed feelings.

“Rather than an adaptation…” Aki Tomoya flipped through the printed paper, trying to find his own traces, “It’s basically all original.”

“That’s right.” Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her chin on her hand. “If someone’s proposal contained even a fraction of plot content instead of just wishful thinking, I wouldn’t have had to create so much original material.”

"I'm sorry!" Aki Tomoya readily admitted his mistake. "I sincerely apologize, and I hope you'll be lenient with me, senior."

“This ogura toast looks good,” Kato Megumi said, pointing to the menu.

Kobayashi Sora looked at the displayed picture, "So many red beans!"

Don't you like red beans?

“I really like it,” Kobayashi Sora replied. “Red bean paste and mung bean cake are both delicious.”

"Then let's order one."

Just one serving?

"It tastes so sweet."

"Afraid of gaining weight?"

"Don't tell anyone."

Eriri snapped out of her reverie about the script's captivating plot. "I thought Kasumi Shiko could only write complicated love stories."

"Do you think it's right that you hold such a stereotype about me, an author who has only published one work?" Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Speaking of Eriri,” Aki Tomoya looked at Eriri with some surprise, “so you’ve also read ‘Love Metronome’?”

"What?" Eriri blushed. "I haven't read it! How could I possibly have read it? I just said it offhand from memory!"

Aki Tomoya's face darkened. "Uh, whether you're a reader or a creator, your comment was absolutely terrible..."

"Leave me alone!"

Aki Tomoya's momentum vanished instantly. "However, given Kasumi Shiko's past writing style, it's truly unexpected to see her take this writing path..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled, "A plot development that comes out of nowhere like this would be heavily criticized in commercial works, but it's more likely to generate positive buzz in the doujinshi world. So I wanted to try something different this time."

Aki Tomoya nodded, "Yes, there is indeed that tendency."

"Coffee au lait again today?"
