How to raise a random guy's wife

Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her chin on her hand and said, "So you're saying you've arranged everything, and all I need to do is cooperate with your plan and adjust my schedule, right?"

"I'll go to Hehe City next weekend, and we should be able to finalize the specific details. We'll then do some pre-launch promotions, and the product can be officially launched in early July."

Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked her red eyes, "I think I understand a little why Akane Kousaka likes you so much."

"Take a look back and see if you have any new ideas, then make the specific revisions." Kobayashi Sora put away the file. "The rest aren't so appealing."

"Oh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Kobayashi Sora stated bluntly, "The plan is inadequate and needs to be revised."

"What did you say?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice suddenly changed, becoming low and cold.

“A major overhaul,” Kobayashi Sora looked up, meeting Kasumigaoka Utaha’s gloomy gaze, “or a complete rewrite.”

"I do not!"

"why?"

“You’re the producer, not the director,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said, biting her lower lip. “You have no right to veto the content.”

“My task is to ensure the progress, which was agreed upon from the beginning,” Kobayashi Sora replied. “It’s unclear how long it will take for the director to discover the problem, so during this time, I need you to complete the revisions, which is the second version of the plot outline. This way, once he discovers the problem, he can directly continue working with the second version without significantly impacting the progress.”

"I already said I won't write it!"

The few customers in the coffee shop all turned their attention to this.

"Let's go somewhere else." Kobayashi Sora stood up to pay the bill. "Your place?"

"...Let's go to your house."

Wet the filter paper on the filter cup with hot water to make it stick tightly to the filter cup wall. Kobayashi Sora put the ground coffee powder into the filter paper, and then gently patted the area around the filter cup to ensure that the coffee powder can absorb water evenly.

Tilting the kettle, water is squeezed out little by little from the spout, forming droplets that allow the granules to quickly absorb water and become saturated.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kobayashi Sora's actions curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Catch her to your taste." Kobayashi Sora said intently, "Don't you like coffee? So I specifically asked someone to teach me how to make it."

Kobayashi Sora increased the tilt angle of the kettle and began the second water supply to maintain the siphon effect.

"This is a handmade espresso, also called amber coffee. If you usually drink black coffee, you'll probably like it." With milky white foam covering most of the surface, Kobayashi Sora begins the third stage of pouring in a large volume of water to flush out the remaining soluble substances and adjust the coffee's concentration at the same time.

A cup of amber coffee was brewed and held in Kasumigaoka Utaha's hands.

Taking a small sip is like eating a filled gummy candy; the sweet and sour flavor, accompanied by the coffee taste, spreads across the tongue in waves, and the smooth, almost oily texture is truly amazing.

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes, like a happy kitten.

She made another cup, added milk and sugar, and placed it in front of Kato Megumi, who was playing a game. Kobayashi Sora used the remaining hot water to make a cup of instant coffee. "So... what's the reason?"

"Tsk." Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her eyes, like a big cat about to catch a mouse. "Can't you be as quiet as this cup of coffee?"

“Then the woman would drink it.” Kobayashi Sora took a sip of coffee. “If you don’t want to say, then let me guess. Soma and Ruri are Tomoya and Utaha from six months ago. What separated them was fate, and what separated you was Tomoya’s rejection. In the end, Seiji and Junri become Soma and Ruri, representing Tomoya and Utaha rekindling their romance and achieving a happy ending. This is what you expect, and it’s the only ending you’re willing to accept, so you’re unwilling to change it—because that would mean you have to accept other endings.”

Has anyone ever told you that you're annoying?

“There are still people who want to beat me up,” Kobayashi Sora said unmoved. “The thought that I will live a better and better life makes me happy for those who hate me.”

"Tsk." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked down at the coffee in her cup, remaining silent.

It's not difficult to guess these.

Deducing the process from the result has always been a very simple matter.

“Talking about relationships is expensive, and as the producer, I have no intention of interfering with your love life,” Kobayashi Sora confessed. “However, I have a responsibility to eliminate factors that affect the progress, which is why I didn’t talk to Tomoya about this issue, but instead had you start preparing the second version directly.”

If Aki Tomoya accepts Kasumigaoka Utaha's creative outline, it means he accepts Kasumigaoka Utaha's feelings, which means they can continue their relationship like Seiji and Junri.

If Aki Tomo can't accept it either... then I won't accept it.

Just like last time, she rejected Kasumigaoka Utaha.

If Kobayashi Sora were to approach Aki Tomoya and raise the issue of the outline, Aki Tomoya would undoubtedly have Kasumigaoka Utaha rewrite it.

This is tantamount to Kobayashi Sora's direct interference in the relationship between the two.

So Kobayashi Sora chose to find Kasumigaoka Utaha and ask her to prepare a second version.

This way, it won't interfere with Aki Tomoya's choices, nor will it affect the game's production schedule.

A win-win situation, congratulations!

“Then…” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up, her red eyes seeming to have become a little redder than usual, and she pursed her lips tightly, “Not as a producer, but as a friend? Sora-kun.”

Chapter 127 Personal Testimonials

Kobayashi Sora sighed, "Even among friends, there are things you should talk about and things you shouldn't."

"Things we shouldn't be talking about?" Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned. "Is this just an excuse for you to avoid the topic?"

“Yes, as the saying goes,” Kobayashi Sora replied. “Don’t advise gambling, don’t advise prostitution; if you do, you’ll never get along with either.”

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha thought Kobayashi Sora would say something, but she didn't expect to hear this.

“When it comes to money, I’ll try to persuade you if I can. But when it comes to feelings, I can only respect your feelings,” Kobayashi Sora said frankly. “Otherwise, if I say something to Rin, and you two end up together, and you tell him what I told you, we’ll be no longer friends.”

"So this is how you see me?"

"I'm just explaining one meaning of that sentence," Kobayashi Sora added. "Also, there's nothing wrong with liking someone. How can I advise you to forget him and support yourself by making games?"

"Hmm..." Kasumigaoka Utaha pinched her fair chin and looked Kobayashi Sora up and down.

"Um..." Kato Megumi, who was playing a game, spoke up, "Could it be that you guys are thinking the wrong thing?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kobayashi Sora both looked at Kato Megumi.

“It’s like that,” Kato Megumi thought for a moment, “You guys think this outline is very meaningful, representing a certain choice in terms of feelings, but in Aki’s eyes, an outline is just an outline… something like that.”

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora and Kasumigaoka Utaha were both taken aback. They looked at each other, then lowered their heads to think for a while, then looked up at each other again, and finally focused their gazes back on Kato Megumi.

"Don't look at me like that..." Kato Megumi picked up the mochi to block their view.

Rice Cake: "Meow meow meow?"

Kobayashi Sora sighed, a thousand words swirling in her heart.

Finally, it all boils down to one word.

Grass.

What Kato Megumi said is very likely.

“Simply put, you’ve given this outline special meaning, but it’s still essentially a script outline. Before realizing its meaning, it first needs to be a qualified outline,” Kobayashi Sora explained. “If you remove your personal emotions, it’s an unqualified script outline. It’s unqualified because of your personal emotions, but that doesn’t mean your personal emotions are unqualified…”

"That's enough," Kasumigaoka Utaha interrupted Kobayashi Sora, "Just tell me how to change it."

As a bestselling light novel author, Kobayashi Sora doesn't need to explain this issue in detail.

Kobayashi Sora took out the script outline, attached it to the whiteboard with a magnet, and sketched a simple flowchart next to it. "In the first version, the focus was on Ruri, while Xunli was marginalized, and in the end, she was simply replaced by Ruri."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms over her chest. "Of course, Junri inherited memories from the past. How could the personality she has formed in this life be unaffected by those memories?"

"So you said it yourself, it's the influence of past memories." Kobayashi Sora wrote on the whiteboard, "For example, I was reincarnated into this world, and then at some point I awakened my memories from my previous life, so I became the person I was in my previous life?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that right?"

“Having gone through the process of reincarnation, I am now the reincarnated me.” Kobayashi Sora explains, “I have new friends and new experiences. Everything around me will not change into the way I remember because of the awakening of memories in my mind. Will I become yesterday’s me because of yesterday’s memories? No, because what happens today will not disappear into thin air.”

“So…” Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lower lip lightly, “you’re going to kill Ruri, right?”

"Ok?"

"You want to patrol Li, so you want me to write a script to kill Liu Li."

"What are you thinking about..." Kobayashi Sora rolled her eyes. "Only children make choices."

"What did you say?"

Kobayashi Sora clenched her fists. "I want them all, sir."

"Greedy fellow..."

“Games are meant to transcend reality and fulfill needs.” Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment. “In that case, the reincarnation setting will also need to be modified.”

"why?"

“The appearance of Xunli and Chengji means that after Ruri and Shuangzhen separated, they found new love and had offspring.” Kobayashi Sora pointed out, “Previously, it was passed down through direct blood relatives, but here it can be changed to blood relatives.”

“Mental fastidiousness…” Kasumigaoka Utaha pouted, “Let Ruri and Soma live out their lives alone.”

“That’s right.” Kobayashi Sora nodded. “And the mission of Junri and Seiji is to change this outcome.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked, "Isn't the focus still on Ruri and Soma?"

"Um..." Kato Megumi held up the controller in her hand, "How about we learn from Steins;Gate?"

Kobayashi Sora's eyes lit up, "Reclaim daily life?"

Kato Megumi nodded, "That's right."

"What kind of riddles are you two playing?" Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly felt really annoyed.

There seemed to be a pitiful, thick wall between myself and them.

"The early stages of Steins;Gate are filled with almost endless peaceful daily routines, and it is precisely these peaceful and warm daily routines that make all the subsequent actions meaningful," Kobayashi Sora concludes. "Every ordinary day we experience may be a series of miracles."

“Hmm… like this.” Kasumigaoka Utaha snatched the pen from Kobayashi Sora’s hand and drew a line at the beginning of the flowchart on the whiteboard. “In the early stages, add daily life descriptions, and present the strangeness of the clues in the process. With the awakening of Junri’s memories, the enemy attacks and the peaceful daily life is broken.”

She then drew a circle at the end of the flowchart: "In order to regain their peaceful daily life, Seiji and Junri help each other and ultimately help Soma and Ruri eliminate their enemies in the past, allowing their lives to return to normal."

"Using memories to change past tragedies... I think that kind of story..." Kobayashi Sora's eyes lit up. "That's right, movies can be made into games... How could I have forgotten about that..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at him, puzzled. "What did you say?"

"Let's focus on making this game better first." Kobayashi Sora shook her head. "I'll talk about my new ideas later."

"So, this is all you need to do?"

“Add a little more.” Kobayashi Sora took out another pen and sketched, “Shuangzhen and Liuli ended up in two different places due to a sudden change, but this change had a long period of preparation beforehand, which they did not discover at the time.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha pressed, "And then?"

"Then, every time Seiji and Junri went to a place, a part of their memories would be triggered, making them notice the various anomalies that preceded the change."
