How to raise a random guy's wife

"Ah~ um~" Tang Keke let out a weak moan.

Ping An Mingjin fanned her from the side, saying, "I said, why do you always collapse when something happens?"

"You're so annoying..." Tang Keke replied listlessly.

"Drink some water and get some sleep," Kobayashi Sora reminded her. "Also, I have some seasickness medication here, it might help."

"Thank you..." Tang Keke took the water bottle and drank some water.

"I feel okay," Kobayashi Sora said after taking a moment to assess the situation. "It's not particularly shaky. Did you not get enough rest?"

"I'm so excited to see those two! I couldn't sleep at all last night." Tang Keke tried to cheer herself up and looked at her companion. "But everything's fine now, so we'll proceed with our shipboard practice as planned..."

Her voice trailed off as she fell backward, "Why is the floor shaking? If it weren't shaking, I would... I would..."

"You should get some rest," Shibuya Kanon chuckled. "There's no rush to train."

"What a troublesome guy..." Ping An Ming Jin complained as she covered Tang Keke with a thin blanket.

The cabins were similar to those on a sleeper train. As night deepened, the lights were gradually turned off, and everyone drifted off to sleep.

Early in the morning, before the sun had risen, Kobayashi Sora awoke amidst the jolts.

Having gotten used to sleeping in a stable bed, sleeping on a boat felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Kobayashi Sora got up to take care of her chores. As she passed by Shibuya Kaon's spot, she found the bed empty.

"Ok?"

Kobayashi Sora, puzzled, went up to the deck and found Shibuya Kaon standing on one leg.

"This is......?"

The ship rocked, and Shibuya Kanon lost her balance, putting her other foot down to steady herself. "Kobayashi..."

Yoga?

“Hmm…” Shibuya Kanon sighed, “I can usually think of something by doing this.”

Kobayashi Sora raised an eyebrow and sat down on a chair nearby. "So, you've run into trouble?"

Why do you seem so happy?

“Well… I need your help,” Kobayashi Sora explained truthfully. “The best way is to offer you help first. So the difficulties you are facing are my opportunity.”

“You have already helped us a lot.” Shibuya Kanon smiled. “We originally wanted to book a second-class Japanese-style room, but you helped us buy a special second-class cabin.”

"I can't just sit in second class by myself," Kobayashi Sora said, skipping over the topic. "So, what's wrong? Maybe I can help."

"I can't find any inspiration for the lyrics." Shibuya Kanon was clearly disappointed. "The music and dance steps are already prepared. This time I wanted to write lines about us and Chihiro, but I just can't find any inspiration."

"Ah..." Kobayashi Sora smiled wryly, "If it were other kinds of problems, I could help, but these personal, emotional matters..."

"Don't take it to heart." Shibuya Kanon waved her hand. "It was something I should have worked on myself in the first place. I only mentioned it because you asked."

"You and her..." Kobayashi Sora thought of that cute white-haired, red-eyed woman with a bun hairstyle, "...are you very close, aren't you?"

"Yes." Shibuya Kanon nodded, a sweet smile playing on her lips. "We've been together since we were little. It's because of her that I can still try my best to sing even when I can't sing anymore."

"Oh?"

"I want to do what Kanon can't do, just like you love singing, something you can be passionate about and dedicated to. I also want to find something I love." Shibuya Kanon whispered, "She said something like that when she was very young."

"I wanted to write this feeling into a song," Shibuya Kanon said, her eyes slightly lowered, "but I can't write anything."

Kobayashi Sora hesitated before speaking, "I don't think... it's because I can't write it."

"Eh?"

“Because you’ve always been together, going to school together, coming home together, eating together, and sleeping together.” Kobayashi Sora looked at the sky that was gradually turning white. “So… the threads of emotion, like sunshine and air, surround you.”

“It’s not like we have to sleep together all the time…” Shibuya Kanon corrected.

“What I mean is,” Kobayashi Sora said with a smile and shook her head, “because we’ve gotten used to each other’s presence and to spending every day together, we don’t know how to express some of our deepest feelings.”

"Hmm..." Shibuya Kanon nodded, "It seems so."

But I always feel like Kobayashi Sora isn't talking about her and Chihiro.

Is it just an illusion?

“I like you. You’re so cute today. I like to secretly hug you when you’re asleep… I can’t normally say these things.” Kobayashi Sora scratched her nose. “It feels like saying it out loud would change the meaning. It’s like saying something like ‘I want you to always be by my side’ would feel like I have some kind of terminal illness.”

“I understand,” Shibuya Kanon nodded, “but we really didn’t always sleep together.”

I have a feeling that Kobayashi Sora seems to have misunderstood something.

“What I mean is…” Kobayashi Sora paused, organizing her thoughts, “You’re not incapable of writing, but rather you have too much to write about and don’t know where to begin.”

Shibuya Kanon's pupils dilated slightly, and finally she revealed a bright smile, "Well, you're pretty good at this, aren't you?"

"I hope I can help you."

"Hmm." Shibuya Kanon looked at the rising sun. "Although I don't have any inspiration yet, I already know what I want to write."

-

"Hmm..." Eriri opened her eyes when she heard the noise. "Megumi...you went to the restroom?"

"Hmm." Kato Megumi nodded. "Did I disturb you?"

"No... the bed is too hard, I'm a light sleeper." Eriri rubbed her eyes, squinted, and leaned closer to Kato Megumi. "You seem quite happy."

"Mmm." Kato Megumi nodded gently. "The sunrise is beautiful."

Chapter 164 Masters Clash

Welcome to our island!

Before the group even disembarked, they saw Hiiragi Yuuna waving excitedly, with Hiiragi Maho standing beside her.

"Wow~" The most excited one was Tang Keke, who was seeing her idol. She cheered and rushed off the ship, completely free of the seasickness she had felt earlier. As she ran, she pulled her backpack to her side, unzipped it, and took out a gift. Her eyes never left her idol. "Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

Saintessawa Yuna happily (?)パ

Hiiragi Maho smiled and accepted it with both hands, "Don't bother yourself."

Tang Keke smiled happily.

“There’s also a portion for us,” Kobayashi Sora said, presenting the prepared gift. “Sorry to bother you.”

"You're too kind." Hiiragi Maho accepted the gift. "Welcome to Kamizu Island. I hope you have a great time."

Shibuya Kanon responded with a smile, "That was our original plan."

Led by the two, the group found the guesthouse that Kobayashi Sora had booked and put their luggage away.

"We need to train hard from tomorrow until the performance," said Yona Seizawa with a bright smile. "So let's have some fun today!"

The school idols acted together, but the game development club did not join them.

After all, they only have one day to play, so their schedule is quite tight.

In contrast, the members of the gaming club had no need to rush and could leisurely play and gather materials.

After having breakfast to replenish their energy, the four members of the club set off for the beautiful Maebama coast when the sun was shining brightly.

"Whoosh!" Eriri happily ran towards the beach, her feet sinking into the soft sand.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone here." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked around the beach. "Shouldn't the beach be packed with men and women with hormonal imbalances?"

“The kind of beach you’re talking about has all sorts of snacks and is very close to the city center,” Kobayashi Sora explained. “It’s a small island with only three or four buses a day, two taxis, and just one convenience store. Where would you find so many people?”

Megumi Kato recalled, "I remember, the 'Hot Summer Days' performance here was to attract people, right?"

“That’s right,” Kobayashi Sora nodded. “Thanks to them, the number of tourists here has increased a lot. The crowds will grow as the performance approaches.”

“It’s good that there are fewer people,” Kasumigaoka Utaha called out, “Eriri.”

"What?" Eriri turned her head away unhappily.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, with the domineering air of a CEO, uttered a single word: "Take it off."

"Wh...what?!"

The guesthouse was a bit far from the beach. Kobayashi Sora was dressed simply in swim trunks and a shirt, carrying a bag.

Girls can't just walk over in their swimsuits.

"As for the clothes, just put them in my bag." Kobayashi Sora took out her backpack.

“Hmm…” Eriri blushed slightly.

“Of course you should wear a swimsuit to the beach,” Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. “Is there some part of your body you’re ashamed to show?”

"Nonsense!" Provoked by Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri forgot her embarrassment and cleanly took off her T-shirt and skirt. "This is the perfect figure. What do you, a fat guy in black stockings, know!"

The lovely white swimsuit is adorned with red ribbons. The light gauze flows gracefully, extending from the chest and wrapping around the arms like slipped shoulder straps. Under the sheer fabric, the thin lines of the swim trunks leave faint marks on the snow-white skin.

Her mixed-race blonde hair in twin ponytails shone brightly in the sunlight, her slender body resembling an exquisite sculpture.

"What are you looking at!" Eriri blushed and stared at Kobayashi Sora with her arms in front of her chest.

"It's nothing." Kobayashi Sora looked away.

"Who are you calling unwatchable?!" Eriri shouted.

"Give me the clothes, I'll put them away for you." Kobayashi Sora was too lazy to argue with her. Under Kasumigaoka Utaha's provocation, Eriri was now somewhat allergic to a certain... certain two places.

"If you're not good enough, there's no need to take it out on others." Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and grabbed the hem of her dress.

As her hands slowly rose, her rounded legs gracefully curved, ending in deep blue swim trunks that contrasted sharply with her delicate skin. Her slender waist resembled a glass bottle of cola.

The stacked dress stopped moving upwards, as if it had encountered some obstacle. Kasumigaoka Utaha exerted slight force with both hands.

Pfft pfft~

Without unnecessary decorations, the most beautiful scenery is people.

The tight straps of the dark blue swimsuit looked rather strained, as if they were bearing an excessive weight.

Kasumigaoka Utaha gathered her slightly messy long hair, folded the silk scarf into a triangle, tied it diagonally around her waist, and looked up at Kobayashi Sora. "Does it look good?"

"Clothes." Kobayashi Sora reached out, feeling like a mother taking care of two little kids.

"Hmph~" Kasumigaoka Utaha handed him the clothes.
