How to raise a random guy's wife

"Is it not ready yet?"

"Freestyle swimming is also called crawling," Kobayashi Sora explained seriously, "It's a good way to exercise your upper body muscles and strengthen your back, torso, and abdominal muscles."

"so......"

"Therefore, the legs are not the focus of the massage. The triceps, biceps, deltoids, latissimus dorsi, and pectoralis major are the most important muscles to massage."

"Bad guy."

......

Kato Megumi left Kobayashi Sora's room with a flushed face.

Then I came back.

"I forgot my room key when I came out," Kato Megumi said, looking somewhat troubled.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri should already be asleep; it wouldn't be good to wake them up so late.

Eriri drew all day, and Kasumigaoka Utaha even tripped and fell.

You need to get some rest.

That's about it...

Under the hazy moonlight, Kato Megumi leaned against Kobayashi Sora's chest.

It's warm and cozy.

-

"Huh?" Eriri came out of the bathroom. "Where's Megumi?"

"You just realized?" Kasumigaoka Utaha twirled a strand of hair between her fingers. "She disappeared not long after we started."

"I hope nothing bad has happened." Eriri asked worriedly, "She forgot her room key."

How do you know she forgot?

"Ok?"

“Kuyou is right next door, where else could she go?” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri. “Whether she forgot to bring it or not, the result is the same.”

“They…” Eriri blushed, “are still high school students!”

"Have you drawn enough high school students' notebooks?" Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes. "And don't think that when two people are together, they only do the kind of things you draw."

"Then what are we doing?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "......"

good question.

Chapter 251 Hot Spring Travel

The fiery red color surrounds the jewel-like lake surface, giving it a serene yet vibrant appearance from afar.

After a night of rest, the four left the pool hotel and began their hot spring trip.

Eriri skillfully set up her easel. "Megumi, I need to sketch here. Can you help me?"

"Ah."

Eriri formed a frame with her index fingers and thumbs, observing with one eye as she considered the composition. "Megumi, can you make an expression?"

"Hmm." Kato Megumi's movements were a little stiff. "What did it feel like?"

"Well..." Eriri thought for a moment, "After abandoning her best friend to meet the protagonist, she acted as if nothing had happened the next day, but couldn't hide the look of exhaustion from a long night's work?"

"It's muscle soreness," Kato Megumi tilted her head. "Is it because Eriri didn't exercise yesterday that she feels so relaxed today?"

Eriri muttered, "I knew it... I should be radiant and full of energy."

“If you understand,” Kobayashi Sora reminded him, “then tell us your real needs. We still need to complete the check-in procedures later.”

"That is the feeling of wanting to keep the protagonist from going to the final battle, but being unable to stop him for the sake of world peace, hesitating between love and mission, with a lonely smile of slight resignation—ah, of course, there should be tears welling up in the corners of the eyes, about to fall but not quite, with the tendency to fall, slightly swirling in the eyes, a feeling of shimmering light and teetering on the edge."

“Um…giving such complicated instructions to lay models…” Kato Megumi’s voice was distant, “I’m also very troubled by this.”

“You’ve already grown so much; now is the time to try even harder.” Eriri said righteously, “Forced to smile when abandoned, while sadness keeps welling up inside—you just need to try a little harder to maintain that expression!”

Even if you say that, there's no way you can succeed just by trying, right?

“Okay, here’s how it works, follow my train of thought.” Eriri put her hands on her hips. “I finally went out with my friend, and even brought some British souvenirs. But when I wanted to share them with her that night, I found she’d already gone to another room, without even her room key, leaving me alone with another annoying woman…”

"Ah," Kato Megumi said curiously, "you brought some British specialties..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced sideways. "Who are you calling an annoying woman?"

"Alright, alright," Kobayashi Sora said, trying to smooth things over. "Eri, you've had a busy day yesterday, so relax today and don't push yourself too hard."

"Hmph." Eriri snorted softly and put away her easel.

After checking in, men and women were separated and entered different hot springs.

After rinsing her body, Kobayashi Sora entered the hot spring, lay down against the rocks, and closed her eyes to rest in the mist.

Faint sounds came from next door.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!" Eriri covered her chest with her hands. "What are you looking at?"

“Well…” Kasumigaoka Utaha straightened the towel wrapped around her hair. “Things are valued for their rarity.”

"!!!" Eriri is about to bite.

"What's wrong?" Kasumigaoka Utaha stretched. "You look like you're hungry and want to eat something."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

Kato Megumi entered the hot spring, letting the warm water soak her body, appearing detached from worldly affairs.

But it attracted the attention of two people.

"Huh?" Kato Megumi noticed Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri's gazes. "Why are you all looking at me?"

“There doesn’t seem to be any trace…” Kasumigaoka Utaha pinched her chin and looked her up and down.

"Huh?" Kato Megumi looked bewildered.

"It might not be very obvious," Eriri guessed. "Perhaps we need to observe more closely."

"Huh?" Kato Megumi put her arms in front of her chest.

“Generally speaking, the more something is covered up, the more important it is.” Kasumigaoka Utaha spotted the target.

"Hmm." Kato Megumi wanted to put her hand down, but felt a little embarrassed.

"Come a little closer." Eriri's eyes widened. "This is also part of the research."

"You guys just said so many strange things..." Kato Megumi pulled away, "Why do you still think I'll go over there?"

Yinglili: "..."

Kato Megumi makes a very good point.

Soaking in hot springs for too long is not advisable; twenty minutes is just right.

The group, dressed in yukatas, reunited. Each person drank a large glass of milk to replenish their fluids, and in the blink of an eye, they saw a ping-pong table.

"Today I'll show you what I'm capable of." Eriri wore a villainous smile. "Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

“I’m sorry, Eriri.” Kasumigaoka Utaha stretched her body. “You can’t play small ball well just because the ball is small. I’ve already seen through your attack.”

"Then let's give it a try!" Eriri's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she tossed the ping-pong ball into the air and swung her racket with her other hand.

With a crisp sound, the ping-pong ball flew rapidly toward Kasumigaoka Utaha.

With a change of footwork, Kasumigaoka Utaha swung her arm and hit the ball back with a backhand.

With her golden ponytail fluttering in the wind, Eriri reacted swiftly, hitting the ball at a tricky angle.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, her red eyes half-closed, anticipated the ball's trajectory and launched a counterattack at the last second...

In their perception, it was such an intense confrontation.

However, in the eyes of referee Kato Megumi and audience member Kobayashi Sora...

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri leaned forward, awkwardly manipulating the slow-moving ping-pong ball.

"Ah!" Eriri used too much force, and the ball's speed increased slightly. Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously dodged and then ran after the ball somewhat awkwardly, trying to pick it up.

Kasumigaoka Utaha accidentally hit the ball too high. Eriri dodged left and right, but was hit on the forehead by the ball. She then ran after the ball in a somewhat disheveled manner, trying to pick it up.

“Speaking of which…” Kato Megumi tilted her head, “how are hot springs and table tennis connected?”

“Well,” Kobayashi Sora explained, “most places with hot springs are hotels. After soaking in the hot springs, people have nothing to do, so businesses need to find an activity that doesn’t take up much space, has simple rules, and is suitable for all ages to entertain their customers. Table tennis is the most suitable.”

"I see," Kato Megumi nodded. "Aren't you going to play?"

"I think I'll pass." Kobayashi Sora shook her head; this was bullying.

After playing and fooling around, it was time to rest.

The men and women were still separated, with Kobayashi Sora in one room and the three girls in one room.

Considering Eriri's resentment today, it's highly unlikely that Megumi Kato will come.

After replying to various text messages and emails, Kobayashi Sora went to bed early after tidying up.

Chapter 252 Don't Give Up

The night was dark, and Kobayashi Sora was fast asleep.

The sliding door opened, and a figure quietly approached.

Then he skillfully crawled inside.

"Hmm...?" Kobayashi Sora frowned slightly, and upon noticing the movement, opened her eyes with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"Kong Qing~" The girl's soft voice was right next to my ear.

"Megumi?" Kobayashi Sora instinctively hugged Megumi, who was leaning against her, and asked softly, "What...?"
