How to raise a random guy's wife

Shibuya Kanon looked dejected. "If only I could express myself that well."

“But…” Kobayashi Sora reminded her, “Didn’t you already do that?”

"Is there?"

“As mentioned on the ship before, you wrote the lyrics for Chisato this time,” Kobayashi Sora explained. “It’s not just about completing the performance, but about Chisato’s efforts. She choreographed this dance, so this is a way of encouraging her. So… how are you feeling right now?”

"Ah... I think I've got an idea!" Shibuya Kanon's eyes gradually lit up with light. "Thank you, Kobayashi!"

I went back to writing lyrics like the wind.

Watching Shibuya Kanon's retreating figure, Kobayashi Sora opened her mouth, "I haven't finished speaking yet... never mind."

-

"Basically...complete!" Tang Keke announced loudly.

After several days of hard work, the already dazzling stage has been upgraded to a new level.

Yuna Seizawa exclaimed happily, "Wow!"

Even the usually composed Hiiragi Mao couldn't help but sigh, "This is the first time I've ever acted like this..."

Heian Naoki touched the standing lamp, which was as tall as a person, and said, "It's amazing that you were able to finish this in your spare time."

"I'll do even better before the performance." This really impressed Tang Keke. She put her hands on her hips, took out her phone, and brought up the screen. "Watch carefully."

As the fingers tap, the stage lights up, colorful lights shimmer, and flowing light spreads like water, the interwoven brilliance blooming in harmony, pulsating with the rhythm of the music.

"That way, we've repaid the favor for dinner!" Tang Keke smiled happily. "We're even now."

Ping An Mingjin sighed helplessly, "I don't understand you..."

"This is a master." Kobayashi Sora felt inferior to her in terms of skill. He sighed and looked at Shibuya Kaon beside him.

She took pictures of the stage, pressed a few buttons on her phone, and then walked a little further away to make a call.

"Hey?" Shibuya Kanon kicked at the sand. "Did you read the lyrics?"

Arashi Chisato's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yes, I think it's very well written, very much in your style."

"I suddenly had an idea, I want to become a source of strength for everyone, to sing for everyone." Shibuya Kanon paused, "Um..."

Chapter 174 Overestimation and Underestimation

Lan Qiansha responded, "What's wrong?"

“I…” Shibuya Kanon opened her mouth.

I......

Miss you.

The moment the lyrics were finished, the person I most wanted to see was you.

I want to hear your voice, I want to see your smile.

I want you by my side, as always.

Even when she couldn't sing, and when Shibuya Kanon herself gave up, Arashi Chisuna always believed in her.

As a child, Arashi Chisara was timid and physically weak, and often needed Shibuya Kaon's protection.

In the blink of an eye, that pitiful little girl has become a dancer who can represent the school in competitions.

This perseverance and hard work has always been the strength that has sustained Shibuya Kanon.

It's not just about helping with choreography and training; Arashi Chisato's very existence is the light that Shibuya Kanon yearns for.

I......

“I mean… you’ve been talking about me the whole time,” Shibuya Kanon said, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. “How are things on your end? Did you just finish practice?”

No, I can't rely on her too much at this time.

It would be terrible if it affected Arashi Chisato's performance in the match.

"Yes, I'm on my way home."

"The competition is about to start," Shibuya Kanon said, perking up. "Chi can definitely do it. Just jump like you normally do."

"Thank you..." Lan Qiansha paused, "Um..."

"what happened?"

"After the match... never mind." Lan Qiansha hesitated for a moment. "Let's talk about it when you get back."

"Okay, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Lan Qiansha stared blankly at the black screen.

"Lan, classmate." A voice suddenly rang out.

"Hazuki-san?" Arashi Chisuna looked at Hazuki Ren, who had been trying to stop Kaori from participating in school idol activities, with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"

“I saw it by accident that day…it wasn’t intentional, it’s just…” Ye Yuelian pursed her lips, “I think I saw it, your withdrawal application—is there something you’re unhappy about with the school?”

“Ah…you saw it. I didn’t mean to hide it.” Lan Qiansha smiled. “If I don’t win the competition, I plan to drop out of school.”

"It's not worth making things so difficult for yourself..." Ye Yuelian frowned slightly. "The school won't..."

“No, you misunderstood,” Lan Qiansha added. “Without winning the championship, I can’t help Xiangyin, so I need to go abroad for further studies.”

"What?" Hazuki Ren looked clearly puzzled. "Help Kanon?"

“Me…” Lan Qiansha lowered her eyelids slightly, “When I was little, I was often bullied. It was Xiangyin who always protected me and taught me the importance of moving forward and the joy of discovering new things. So I hope that one day I can stand by her side.”

Arashi Chisara recalled her timid self from childhood, and that evening when, with the help of Shibuya Kaon, she stood on a high platform gazing at the stage.

"But what does this have to do with dancing..." Hazuki Ren suddenly realized something, "Could it be..."

“That’s right, I started dancing because of Kaoru.” Arashi Chisatsu nodded. “I want to stand on the stage with her, not as a dependent, not as a copy, but as an important, unique partner. So… I want to do what she can’t do, achieve something, and become confident and brave.”

“So,” Hazuki Ren gradually understood Arashi Chisato’s thoughts, “you didn’t join the school idol group.”

"Yes, because it was my own decision."

Only if Arashi Chisatsu has the ability to face everything alone will she stand by Shibuya Kanon's side.

It wasn't because I depended on her, didn't need her protection, or wanted to share in her success.

I'm with her simply because I want to be by her side.

"So, there's no need to try to persuade me anymore." Lan Qiansha stood up and left. "See you later."

"If..." Hazuki Ren began, "If you won the championship, what would you do?"

Lan Qiansha paused, turned around and smiled, her red eyes sparkling, "That goes without saying~"

-

"You seem to have something on your mind," Kobayashi Sora looked at Shibuya Kanon with some concern. "What's wrong?"

"No..." Shibuya Kanon answered instinctively, gripping her phone tightly.

"Is it because..." Kobayashi Sora guessed, "Chisago-kun?"

“…Hmm.” Shibuya Kanon bit her lower lip lightly. “The performance is about to start, and this is the first time she won’t be by my side.”

The girl's eyes flickered. "I'm a little nervous, but... she has an important competition to participate in, and if I make her worry, it will affect her."

“I don’t know much about what happened between you two,” Kobayashi Sora said, organizing her thoughts. “But I feel that you two must have similar ideas to have been good friends for so long.”

"Eh?"

"Putting yourself in someone else's shoes is something I only recently learned," Kobayashi Sora asked. "If you're thinking like this right now, then... how are you feeling, Chisato-kun?"

"..." Shibuya Kanon's pupils contracted slightly. "You mean... Kobayashi, do you have a way to get me back now?"

“What a coincidence.” Kobayashi Sora took out her phone. “I just met a friend who works at the airport. That should be enough for you to get back to school and then make it back before the performance. But…”

"But what?"

"But you'll need to call a taxi first, the airport is a bit far." Kobayashi Sora smiled. "You can go pack your things now."

"Kobayashi, you're amazing!" Shibuya Kanon immediately set off back to the guesthouse to pack her things.

Not far away, watching Kobayashi Sora and Tang Keke finish their conversation and then go to find Shibuya Kaon, Eriri narrowed her eyes slightly, "I always feel like... Kobayashi is like a hardworking little bee."

"Why do I smell something sour?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. "Are you implying that he's been picking flowers everywhere?"

"Who's being sarcastic!" Eriri exploded. "Kasumigaoka Utaha, you're spouting nonsense!"

“Only those who are jealous know.” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kato Megumi beside her.

Sensing her gaze, Kato Megumi tilted her head in confusion, blinking her eyes blankly. "What's wrong?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kobayashi Sora who was approaching, "It's nothing."

Are you playing dumb?

“Well,” Kobayashi Sora gave Kato Megumi a thumbs-up, “Just like you said, Kanon has already set off. To be honest, I feel that bribing the judges and enticing the other contestants would be more effective.”

“There’s no need for that…” Kato Megumi replied softly, “Just trust them.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "......"

Is it not feigning ignorance, but rather that everything is under control?

I initially thought it was an overestimation, but now it seems it was actually an underestimation.

Kato Megumi... what other surprises do you have that I don't know about?

Chapter 175 Just Enjoy

In the preparation room for the dance competition, the contestants are making the most of their time to stretch.

At this moment, Arashi Sensato was outside the preparation room, gazing at the sky filled with rolling dark clouds.

[The show is about to begin]

I will try my best.

On her phone screen was a message she had sent to Shibuya Kanon.
