How to raise a random guy's wife

"Kasumigaoka Utaha! Who do you think I'm taking sides with?!"

“At least, just now…” Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped mid-sentence, paused, and said, “I know you were helping me, which is why I didn’t want you to say something you’d regret.”

"Who cares about you!" Eriri huffed and puffed as she returned to her seat.

Seeing Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi eating snacks, she became even angrier.

"I want some too!"

"Eat, eat, eat!" Kobayashi Sora pushed the snacks toward Eriri, "Eat up!"

"Are you going to keep stalling?" Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at Aki Tomoya. "Tomoya-kun?"

"Huh...?" Aki Tomoya looked up in confusion.

"Even now, you still can't come to a conclusion." Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lower lip, a subtle, twisted expression appearing on her face. "Alright then."

She pulled out a new sheet of printer paper from her bag. "Take another look at this."

"This is..." Aki Tomoya took the printed paper. "A new outline?"

“Hmm.” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. To be precise, this was version 1.5, which maximized the amount of screen time for Junri and minimized the amount of screen time for Ruri. In the end, Junri was still Junri, but Ruri disappeared.

"That's it!" Aki Tomoya quickly finished reading, his eyes lighting up. "It's this kind of storyline where she reclaims her daily life! That's right, that's the problem. Junri should go back to being an ordinary female classmate! The generations-long grudges, the tumultuous fate, the destiny bound by bloodlines—these are all wonderful, but the memories and personality that Junri has built in this life shouldn't be erased! The epic tale of fate is interesting, but everyday life is also precious!"

"As expected..." Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled. "For you, the feelings you have now are more important than the past?"

"Senior?"

"As long as you're interested in the goal at hand, what happened in the past doesn't matter to you, right? The affection accumulated over generations, Liuli's pain and perseverance, are all meaningless to you?"

"Huh?" Even Eriri, who is a bit slow on the uptake, finally realized what was happening.

The past...and the present.

Two outlines, each focusing on different roles.

Tomoya's choice...

Eriri was munching on a snack.

It turned out to be the case.

In the past, it naturally referred to himself and Renye.

Now, it is Kasumigaoka Utaha who has suddenly barged in.

Aki Tomoya's choice of the outline subconsciously represents his choice between two objects.

No wonder Kasumigaoka Utaha said those things just now...

As expected of a dark woman, she actually used this method to make Tomoya make a choice.

And Tomoya's answer was...

"Keep it."

Chapter 132 This kid is really something.

"Eh?" Eriri made a faint sound, then looked away and stuffed her mouth with snacks.

“That’s mine…” Kobayashi Sora protested weakly.

"This is delicious too." Kato Megumi reached out and handed a small packet to Kobayashi Sora.

"It's really good." Kobayashi Sora took a bite. "What a waste."

"Isn't Ruri cute too?" Aki Tomoya stared at the two outlines. "The male-female relationship that is always thinking about the past is also my favorite plot!"

"Ha, men..." Kasumigaoka Utaha sneered, glancing at Kobayashi Sora, "So you want them all?"

“That’s right!” Aki Tomoya nodded vigorously. “Wouldn’t it be better to catch up with both sides? Besides, that would also meet the needs of game players, but there would be many things that need to be modified, and even rewritten…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha pulled the official 2.0 version out of her bag and slammed it on the table in front of Aki Tomoya. "See for yourself."

"There's a third one?" Aki Tomoya glanced at it quickly, then looked at it again. "This is it! Why didn't you take it out from the beginning!"

If I had taken it out from the beginning, Kasumigaoka Utaha wouldn't have been able to test your true nature.

Kobayashi Sora quietly ate her snacks.

"All four characters found happiness; it's a perfect blend of everyday life and intense battles—that's it!" Aki Tomoya exclaimed. "The plot is grand, the story is massive, it feels like a masterpiece..."

"Give it to me!" Eriri snatched the 2.0 outline from Aki Tomoya's hands.

Aki Tomoya weakly protested, "I haven't finished watching it yet..."

The blonde girl's twin ponytails were trembling. She put down the 2.0 outline and picked up the 1.5 outline. "Two different focuses, and the perfect combination of the two... As expected of you."

"Well... I've got nothing better to do anyway." Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Kobayashi Sora, who was talking to Kato Megumi. "Besides, this isn't just my achievement. I was able to finish it with the help of Kato and Kobayashi."

"In other words, this is an outline that has been agreed upon by everyone," Aki Tomoya concluded. "Then, let's proceed according to this and get to work!"

"They said they'd start work..." Eriri was exasperated, "but in the end, I'm still the one who's busy!"

“Speaking of starting work…” Aki Tomoya suddenly stood up, “I’m going to work now, see you later!”

"You actually tried to run away!" Eriri was so angry she wanted to bite someone. "What use are you?"

"Well, before he brought it up, didn't everyone not notice the problem with the outline?" Kobayashi Sora smiled. "That's how the director works."

In conclusion, the game development team can finally move forward.

Tomoya Aki was in charge of making money and reviewing content.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was responsible for breaking down the outline into smaller chapters, perfecting the plot development and climaxes.

Eriri is responsible for character design, concept art, backgrounds, CG, and all other image-related work.

Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora were responsible for assisting the two in their work and completing other tasks.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's work is progressing steadily, but Eriri's work is not going smoothly.

I have a notebook to draw in June, I need to update my panty illustrations weekly, and I also have the One-Punch Man manga to do.

"Use a face brush or a two-in-one brush for the details." Eriri instructed Kobayashi Sora on the task of blackening. "When blackening, be careful not to touch the outline drawn by the dip brush. You should carefully blacken along the inside of the outline, and pay special attention not to draw outside the boundary."

Kobayashi Sora tried it out, "Like this?"

“When you’re applying black to large areas, just use a multi-purpose pen.” Eriri pointed to the drawing. “I’ve marked the areas that need to be blacked out. First, draw a circle around the outermost edge, and then apply the black to the middle part. If there are any uneven areas, don’t worry about wasting time; just apply another layer. If the black is uneven, it will affect the overall effect when printing.”

"clear."

“I’ll do the blackening of the hair myself, because it’s too difficult for a beginner to draw a glossy effect.” Eriri sighed. “Afterwards, please check the number and smoothness of the hair lines, as well as symbols like sweat droplets, pupils, clothes, props, the corners of the picture, the edges of the frame, effects, narration, and some special details. Please check if there are any places where you forgot to add ink lines.”

"Paint black, touch up white..." Kobayashi Sora organized her thoughts, "Then we apply halftone paper, right?"

Applying halftone dots is the step that has the biggest impact on the visual effect during the comic creation process.

While halftone screens are not strictly necessary, they enhance the visual effect and have gradually become essential in comic book creation.

Applying halftone dots doesn't require complicated skills; there are just a few tricks to achieving the desired effect.

"You should finish the previous steps first."

"It's finished." Kobayashi Sora held up the manuscript. "How about taking a look?"

"Hmm...uh..." Eriri checked the manuscript, trying to find some mistakes, but found nothing. "It's alright, I can't expect too much from you."

"As long as it's acceptable." Kobayashi Sora flexed her fingers. "Okay, after I finish the remaining black and white areas, you can teach me how to apply the halftone paper."

It's better to complete one step at a time, following an assembly line approach.

"Still no clue about this week's illustration?"

“…Hmm.” Eriri responded softly, then looked up at Kobayashi Sora, her eyes filled with restrained expectation.

Kobayashi Sora discovers that Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha have something in common.

She's quite cute even when she's not talking.

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something really rude!" Eriri grinded her little white teeth. "Don't think I'm counting on you. I'm just trying to meet a deadline, so I'm too lazy to think about it!"

My God! Look at this perfect tsundere, it's absolutely hilarious.

"If I'm too lazy to think about it..." Kobayashi Sora searched online casually, "She's the one."

The female protagonist of the most discussed anime right now.

"Huh?" Eriri frowned. "You want me to draw fan art?"

"Aren't you a fan artist?"

"Oh right, that's all then." Eriri glared at Kobayashi Sora. "Get back to work."

"Okay~~~" Kobayashi Sora said, drawing out the sound.

Honestly, giving Eriri advice is a great experience.

In my past life, I always had to ask for things in groups and go through the trouble of finding links.

Now you can just tell Eriri and she'll make it on the spot, and the art style is amazing.

Eriri is a good girl to get along with; she has a lot of ideas and she draws really well.

The draft of "One-Punch Man" has accumulated to eight chapters, plus a side story, enough to make up a volume.
