How to raise a random guy's wife

"Fearless no matter who or what they may be facing!"

Chapter 217 Leave it to me

"Wow, 'The Clever Magician'~~"

A low murmur arose from the audience.

"What era are these songs from?!"

It's been at least ten years.

Kobayashi Sora listened intently to the audience's discussion.

That's right.

Compared to riding the wave of popularity, there's an even more invincible trick: "My youth is back."

No matter what songs are popular now, good songs that survive the turbulent flow of time will not lose their charm in the slightest.

On stage, Michiru Hyodo gradually lost her initial tension. Her excellent singing skills made the audience recall the melody from deep within their memories. By the chorus, there were even sounds of clapping. During the interlude, some people even began to recite the special move that appeared in the song.

Thank you everyone!

After the first song was finished, as Michiru greeted the audience for the first time...

"Oh!!!!!"

The enthusiastic cheers made her eyes widen in surprise, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.

However, this kind of reaction can also be quite endearing to some people.

Kobayashi Sora's anticipation grew even stronger, for with this, the second step of the plan had also succeeded.

Next, all we need to do is...

After a while, Michiru Hyodo finally remembered to introduce herself, "Hello everyone... uh... we are Icytail."

"Huh? What did you say? I can't hear you!"

Some audience members shouted.

Kobayashi Sora tilted her head slightly; this audience member was none other than Aki Tomoya.

“I mean,” this question clearly caught Michiru Hyodo off guard, so she had to repeat herself, “our name is Icytail…”

"I said I can't hear you, that's fine," Aki Tomoyuki persisted. "Speak louder!"

Michiru Hyodo stared at Tomoya Aki, the culprit, with a typical expression of suppressed anger on her face. "I told you it was Icytail!"

It's worth mentioning that the Japanese pronunciation of "icytail" is similar to that of "I love you".

At the moment of exiting, Michiru Hyodo also noticed this. It wouldn't be a big deal normally, but at a concert...

A flustered Michiru Hyoudou let out a short gasp, "...Ah!"

In that instant, amidst the laughter of the audience, his companions each performed a solo piece on their instruments.

"So cute~~" "It's clearly designed!" "It's cute nonetheless!" "In short, it's extremely cute~"

"Huh? Um..." Michiru Hyodou blushed, "Hey! You're not allowed to laugh..."

The audience was even happier, and the concert was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Aki Tomoya, that guy, he did it on purpose.

As expected of a well-known blogger, she has an extremely accurate grasp of the mindset of otaku.

With a good start, things went even more smoothly afterward.

The second song was a classic tearjerker game theme song, and the third song was their original composition... The enthusiastic applause as they left the stage announced their success.

"Wait for me a moment," Kobayashi Sora whispered in Kato Megumi's ear, "I'm going backstage."

Kato Megumi nodded gently, "Okay."

Kobayashi Sora walked backstage through the excited audience.

"It seems..." a voice rang out from the side, "that you don't need our help anymore."

Kobayashi Sora turned around and saw another band from the concert. "Thank you again for your help. Please accept the thank-you gift we agreed on before."

"I'd rather have that song than the thank-you gift, but it's going to be theirs. Um... could you write one for us too? We're easy to negotiate."

"Never mind," Kobayashi Sora shook her head. "I don't have the time."

As someone who knew nothing about music, learning from scratch and repeatedly adjusting to reproduce the music from memory took far more time than Kobayashi Sora had imagined.

But it's finally finished.

After saying goodbye to the band, Kobayashi Sora went backstage and saw Aki Tomoya.

And Michiru Hyoudou, who was riding on his back as before.

Is this pose addictive?

Aki Tomoya looked completely used to it, "Anyway, that's how your dream comes true."

Michiru Hyodo protested, "It's completely different from what I imagined!"

“So…” Aki Tomoya brought up the old topic again, “Next time it’s your turn to fulfill my dream! You have to help out and compose music for our club.”

Michiru Hyodo glared at Tomoya Aki, "I don't remember making such a promise with you."

“But you can’t refuse now,” Aki Tomoya said confidently. “Because you heard the cheers of those otaku today.”

Hyodo Michiru closed her eyes, as if she could still hear the cheers of the audience.

"Let me tell you first... the real background music is even stronger," Aki Tomoya whispered. "After listening to the music, you'll recall the scenes from the game, and no matter where you are, your heart will return to the game! What you're going to do next is compose music like that. You're going to make a whole bunch of otaku cry their eyes out!"

Michiru Hyodo muttered under her breath, "...Such an exaggerated reaction, isn't that just like being an idiot?"

"Do you think I'm exaggerating?"

"Well, now I can believe them a little more... seeing how high they're going."

"Therefore, the contract is established..."

Aki Tomoya reached out and touched Michiru's face with the back of his index finger to her moist eyes.

Kobayashi Sora suddenly realized that she was watching paid content.

Before Aki Tomoya could finish speaking, his hand fell to his side.

"Alan!" Michiru Hyodo exclaimed.

“He’s just too tired,” Kobayashi Sora said. “He was holding back a lot of energy before, and now that he’s relaxed, he’s naturally like this—let him rest for a while.” Because of the stress of staying up all night for too long, having to stay focused to prevent Hyodo Michiru from discovering the problem, plus thinking about his words and designing the concert, it’s more accurate to say he fell asleep than fainted.

"Then I'll take care of him!"

"You'll be going back on stage later," Kobayashi Sora reminded her. "Just ask the staff for help."

"Alright then." Michiru Hyodo stood up and, together with Sora Kobayashi, helped Tomoya Aki settle in.

"Do you remember you said you'd do me a favor?" Kobayashi Sora asked, bringing up the matter before the performance.

"I won't forget so quickly."

"So... when we go back on stage later..."

"Wow! So that's what that piece of music is about—I'll take it!"

"Thank you." Kobayashi Sora bid farewell to Hyodo Michiru and found Kato Megumi again.

She's the only one left.

"Where are Senpai and Eriri?"

“They left first…” Kato Megumi replied, “They seemed quite unhappy.”

"Well...I understand." Kobayashi Sora looked at Kato Megumi. "Speaking of which, would you like to experience what it's like to be the center of attention...well, the center of everyone's gaze?"

Chapter 218 It's About You

"Huh?" Kato Megumi blinked her big eyes. "I can't sing..."

"In short, you don't dislike being watched, right?"

"It's alright..."

“Then…” Kobayashi Sora quietly stepped back, “this is a radiance that belongs only to you.”

"Huh?" Before Kato Megumi could react, Icytail had already reappeared.

Michiru Hyodo's energetic voice ignited the atmosphere once again.

"Hello everyone!!!"

"Oh!!!!!"

Amidst enthusiastic responses from the audience, Michiru Hyodo raised her hand, pointing her index finger to the sky, and said, "The next song, 'Solar System Disco,' is a song that a friend of mine dedicated to another friend of mine."

A beam of light descended from the sky, illuminating Kato Megumi below the stage.

Following Kobayashi Sora's instructions, Hyoudou Michiru offered her birthday wishes, "Happy birthday, Megumi!"

"Huh?" Kato Megumi was momentarily flustered.

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on her; even though she was in the audience, she became the center of the entire concert.

Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday~

The audience offered their kind blessings one after another.

No one ignored her, no one forgot her.

This unprecedented feeling made her inexplicably flustered.

It feels like... something's missing.

One person is missing.

With her eyes scanning the crowd, Kato Megumi finally spotted the figure hidden among them.

Biting her lower lip lightly, Kato Megumi reached out her hand in his direction.
