How to raise a random guy's wife

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora turned her head, not expecting the problem to lie with Kato Megumi.

“I’m number one in my grade,” Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled. “Compared to me, Sawamura?”

"I... it's none of your business!" Eriri skillfully changed the subject. "I need to go back and revise my character design."

Kasumigaoka Utaha tossed her long hair. "In that case, the script will need to be revised, but it's only a few lines, so it's not a big problem."

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi thought for a moment, "Shouldn't matters in court be decided by the judge?"

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

You really went to great lengths to change the subject.

They hadn't been able to fit in just a moment ago, but now they've seamlessly steered the conversation back on track.

Kato Megumi avoided Kobayashi Sora's gaze. "Isn't that how trials are? In the end, it's the judge who makes the decision, isn't it?"

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora vaguely realized something.

"So..." Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora, "What does the judge think?"

As Kato Megumi turned her head, strands of her short ponytail cascaded down her back, looking playful and adorable.

"Cute," Kobayashi Sora replied truthfully. "I like it very much."

"Tsk." Kasumigaoka Utaha turned and left.

"Tsk." Eriri slammed the door shut.

The two of them couldn't stand this injustice.

"Looks like that's all for today's activities." Kato Megumi picked up her bag. "See you tomorrow."

"Wait a minute." Kobayashi Sora grabbed Kato Megumi's hand. "Are you confident about the exam?"

"Well......"

"Then that means there isn't one."

"It's alright."

"Come to my house for tutoring today." Kobayashi Sora calculated the time. "It should still be enough time."

"I need to go home first."

"how?"

"I didn't bring a bra today."

"Oh... um?"

Kobayashi Sora looked at Kato Megumi's schoolbag.

So you mean you brought it with you before?

From when...

Kobayashi Sora searched her memory and suddenly realized that when she first came here, Kato Megumi had washed her clothes in a washing machine and then dried them in a dryer.

It seems they've stopped doing that lately...

Kato Megumi tilted her head. "What are you thinking about?"

“Um… well,” Kobayashi Sora coughed twice, “I mean, okay, I’ll wait for you.”

"Ah."

After parting ways with Kato Megumi, Kobayashi Sora bought some groceries and went home to cook dinner.

It will be a little later.

He received a message from Kato Megumi, replied with a simple "I'll continue cooking."

Not long after, Kato Megumi arrived at Kobayashi Sora's house and opened the door with her key.

"Perfect timing," Kobayashi Sora said as she was serving the dishes, "Everything's ready, go wash your hands."

"Okay." Kato Megumi put down her schoolbag and stopped the mochi that was trying to jump onto the dining table.

"What's wrong at home?" Kobayashi Sora asked, recalling the information from before.

"It's nothing serious," Kato Megumi explained while washing her hands. "A relative came to visit."

"Isn't this something important?" Kobayashi Sora turned her head. "It's okay if you don't come today."

"It's okay, it was my uncle's family. We chatted for a bit, and then my parents took them to see a comedy show. I don't understand it, so I didn't go."

"Aren't there any children your age?"

“I have an older cousin who’s a fourth-year student at the North City Medical University now,” Kato Megumi replied. “I told him, and he went to visit his friends here.”

"That's why you could have just told me," Kobayashi Sora said helplessly. "It's rare for relatives to come over, so it's good to chat more."

“There’s nothing I want to talk about,” Kato Megumi said after washing her hands. “Besides…”

"and?"

I promised you first.

“Studying is more important.” Kato Megumi pursed her lips. “He’s been a model student since he was little, and all our relatives consider him the pride of the family. When I told him I wanted to get tutoring, he encouraged me to work hard.”

Chapter 148 Home Tutor

"Oh," Kobayashi Sora understood, "Someone else's child?"

Look at so-and-so's little one or something.

“That’s it.” Kato Megumi nodded. “But Mom and Dad didn’t say anything like that. Their requirements weren’t very high.”

Are you confident about the exam?

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi said, holding her chopsticks in her mouth, "Even if I skip tutoring, no one will notice."

Kobayashi Sora: "...That's not necessarily true now."

"Hmm," Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora, "Want to get a haircut?"

Study hard!

"Know it."

After dinner, the two sat down at their desks and began to study.

"First, which subject is your weakest?"

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi thought for a moment, "It's all fine."

"It's good to not be weak in any subject, so let's start with math."

"Okay."

"Let's start with practice questions."

"Hmm." Kato Megumi started trying the practice problems. "How do I do this one?"

"A formula needs to be applied here, it's this..."

"Oh, I see." Kato Megumi lowered her head and continued working on the problem. "And this one?"

"Think about it yourself?"

"That's why I asked you, since I couldn't figure it out myself," Kato Megumi replied. "I felt like I understood as soon as you explained it."

"Because I'm giving you the answer." Kobayashi Sora recalled her school days, "I could understand it when I heard it, but I could never do it."

Upon seeing the answer, I exclaimed, "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

Kobayashi Sora patiently explained, "This chapter relies heavily on formulas, so memorizing them will be very helpful."

"It's hard to remember."

“That’s how you memorize it, just understand it.” Kobayashi Sora wrote down the formula and drew a circle. “Break the formula down,” he said, dividing it into several lines. “That way you will discover the various elements that make up the formula.”

"Uh-huh."

“Then the elements extend outwards, are arranged and combined, and more formulas will appear. If this is done repeatedly…” Kobayashi Sora pointed to the scrap paper, “a network of formulas will appear.”

"It feels even harder to remember now..."

"This is to help with memorization and problem-solving." Kobayashi Sora picked up a problem. "Look, this problem has known conditions and asks for the unknown result, so we can find the corresponding place on this network."

Kobayashi Sora changed to a different colored pen. "By circling the known conditions, you can find the corresponding elements that contain those conditions online. Formulas that contain those elements can then be used to calculate the result."

"Wow~ That's amazing." Kato Megumi reached out her little hand to the toilet paper. "Can I borrow it for a moment?"

"Write it yourself." Kobayashi Sora took the scrap paper. "The process of writing is the process of understanding."

"Um...can I borrow it for reference?"

"No."

Kato Megumi stared at him with her cheeks slightly puffed out.

“Learning depends on your own efforts,” Kobayashi Sora said righteously, “and it won’t help even if you use this cute look.”

Kato Megumi blushed and looked away. "Okay."

The air fell silent for a moment, and Kobayashi Sora could hear the sound of Kato Megumi's pen nib scratching against scrap paper, as well as her breathing.

Only then did he realize that the two of them had gotten very close because of the explanation they had just given.

Very close.

You can smell a faint citrus scent in her hair.

And under the table, there was the warm touch of Kato Megumi's toes rubbing against her calves.

Eh?

Kobayashi Sora's body stiffened, and she subconsciously looked at Kato Megumi.

Just then, Kato Megumi looked up and glanced at him.

A lovely blush appeared on her fair face. Kato Megumi blinked and looked away.

Kobayashi Sora learned this for the first time.
