How to raise a random guy's wife

"Okay, let's go to the supermarket after school."

"Hmm." Kato Megumi nodded, then turned to look at the female classmate. "Um, I didn't hear you clearly just now."

"...No...it's nothing." The female student waved her hand, hurriedly putting away the envelope. "Um...I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

"No, I should be the one apologizing."

"No..." The female student was quiet for a moment, "Um... take care of yourself."

"Eh?"

-

"Confessing?" Kasumigaoka Utaha, having finished writing a scene, took a sip of coffee. "Well, since I entered this high school, I've had three or four confessions from people including upperclassmen, underclassmen, and classmates."

"Hmm... Ah!" Eriri looked up, her face showing an expression that said, "I'm really not that proud. Although I'm not very good at counting, I've probably reached over three digits by now!"

“It’s precisely because of someone’s pampered princess persona that this kind of thing happened.” Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri. “If she had even a little bit of airs, she wouldn’t waste her time on those people.”

"It's precisely because of someone's wicked character that, despite having a despicable body, only three or four people confessed their love to him."

"I'm so sorry that your mere existence, with such a great figure, feels like an insult, Eriri." Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled. "Please accept my sincere apology."

"Where is the sincerity in that?!"

Utaha Kasumigaoka ignored Eriri and asked, "Megumi, has anyone confessed to you before?"

Eriri: "Don't ignore me!"

Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora.

Kasumigaoka Utaha waved her hand, "He doesn't count."

“No, that’s all.” Kato Megumi shook her head; she had been ignored the whole time.

Eriri: "Hey!"

“There are quite a few of these kinds of plots.” Kasumigaoka Utaha pondered, “A girl who was just a friend and whom I didn’t pay much attention to suddenly undergoes a glamorous transformation and becomes the center of attention.”

"It's not that bad." Kato Megumi twirled her hair with her fingers, probably because she had changed her hairstyle.

Kasumigaoka Utaha deduced, "So because of that incident, her popularity among the boys skyrocketed, and she was even asked out after school to be confessed to, which made her feel very confused."

“So what is it?” Kato Megumi corrected, “and it’s just delivering a letter.”

“We’re discussing the plot right now,” Kasumigaoka Utaha tapped the table. “Outsiders, please be quiet.”

“I see,” Kato Megumi nodded. “So, I’m just an outsider, even though I’m the one in the spotlight.”

"Sora," Kasumigaoka Utaha gestured with her chin, "what action should the male protagonist take in a situation like this?"

Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, "Hmm... legal?"

"Why did you first think about whether it was illegal?" Eriri looked at him with the expression of someone looking at a dangerous item.

"So didn't I ask?"

Eriri was speechless. "Who would ask that?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha warned, "Please don't bring up any plot points that cross the line."

Kobayashi Sora saved the document casually, thinking, "I never imagined you would say something like that."

Chapter 264 School Celebration

“Even if you want to use me as a reference, the current situation is not a reference point.” Kobayashi Sora opened a bottle of Ramune soda and handed it to Kato Megumi, then opened another bottle for herself. “Megumi’s way of handling things is my approach.”

Kato Megumi took a sip; it tasted sweet and sour.

Eriri pressed on, "Then why are you even asking if it's legal or not?"

"What if there's someone who's persistent and clingy?" Kobayashi Sora was just being prepared. "Besides, this kind of scenario would suit you guys too."

Eriri: "Huh?"

“Like this,” Kobayashi Sora imagined, “for example, if my senior has another tsundere outside.”

"What?! Who's being arrogant?! Who's hers?! Who..." Eriri's mind was a little confused.

There are too many flaws in Kobayashi Sora's sentence; she can't quite keep up with her words.

“This kind of reaction basically means it’s all over.” Kasumigaoka Utaha dutifully deduced the plot. “If she had confessed beforehand, there would have been some hope—this kind of hypocritical reaction, tsk tsk tsk.”

"Who's being hypocritical!"

“In some stories, the female protagonist will deliberately provoke the male protagonist.” Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled. “The female protagonist, who can never cross the line of friendship, finally decides to make one last attempt—one moment she deliberately praises other boys in front of the male protagonist, and the next moment she boasts that someone has invited her on a date.”

"That's true. It used to be a pretty good formula, but now it feels a bit melodramatic," Kobayashi Sora pointed out. "If readers empathize with the cannon fodder male lead, the situation could become a bit awkward."

"That's true, so the only option is to portray the cannon fodder male characters as having a nasty and detestable personality."

Kobayashi Sora felt that Kasumigaoka Utaha was implying something, so she changed the subject, "But speaking of which, there have been quite a few people confessing their feelings lately."

Kato Megumi, who was playing on her phone, tilted her head and looked at Kobayashi Sora. "Hmm?"

“That’s what you’re saying…” Eriri looked over as well, “It seems like there’s more than one person here.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms over her chest. "Oh~ a character with a terrible personality has appeared."

"No," Kobayashi Sora denied. "It's always been like this, but the frequency has increased recently."

Eriri stared at Kobayashi Sora, "And then?"

“I’ll refuse seriously,” Kobayashi Sora replied matter-of-factly. “Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a girlfriend. I love her very much and I hope you’ll be happy—that’s all.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. "That's it?"

"What else?" Kobayashi Sora retorted, "Pretend you didn't receive it, or neither agree nor refuse?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that Kobayashi Sora seemed to be referring to something.

Eriri looked at Kato Megumi, "Megumi, is this considered a standard answer?"

"I don't know," Kato Megumi replied. "I'm an outsider."

“Actually, I feel the problem is this,” Kobayashi Sora leaned closer to Kato Megumi, “we can be closer at school, and that will make others back off.”

Eriri stared blankly, "School...rooftop...gym...infirmary..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "It's not that bad, and besides, that kind of thing requires avoiding people."

Kato Megumi poked Kobayashi Sora's nose, which was close to hers, and said, "So you want to do bad things at school too."

Kobayashi Sora: "There's no need to be so blunt."

"I remember now." Seeing that the plot was about to take another turn, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately changed the subject, "The school anniversary."

"I see." Kobayashi Sora also remembered, "This Friday should be for the folk dance."

Toyonosaki Academy prides itself on its exceptionally free school spirit and is a fairly popular private school. When it holds its school anniversary celebrations, many ordinary tourists from the local area and other schools come to participate, making it quite famous for its lively atmosphere.

Therefore, this slightly excessive noise will continue for three days until the folk dance is performed at the evening festival.

Folk dance, also known as traditional folk dance, originated in medieval Europe.

It's still popular now, mainly because the movements are simple and fun, and everyone can learn them. There are simple, popular dances, beautiful duets, and complex performance dances, which can achieve the functions of exercise, leisure, and social interaction.

Just like how all holidays have turned into Valentine's Day without anyone knowing when, although it's unclear who first advocated it, the Toyonosaki Academy's after-night festival seems to have a long-standing tradition of girls inviting boys to dance a folk dance, which means "Please go out with me," and boasts a remarkably high number of successful pairings.

To avoid being alone at the lively school anniversary celebration, most students choose to find a suitable partner closer to the anniversary.

Confess your feelings first; if you succeed, you can naturally dance together.

Even if it fails, it can avoid the embarrassing situation of failing to invite anyone to the school anniversary celebration.

“School anniversary,” Eriri said, looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha. “I heard someone’s play is going to be performed again.”

“I’m actually looking forward to this year’s Miss Toyosaki pageant even more,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said with obvious anticipation. “I remember last year’s winner stood on the stage with her blonde hair on a golden crown and a very polite smile on her face.”

"Who participated?!" Eriri exploded. "I was pushed up there!"

“That’s how you maintain a persona,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said gloatingly. “If you had made your stance clear from the beginning, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble later.”

"Do you think everyone can be like you, with that 'go to hell' look on your face, belittling the victory and the event as if it were worthless?" Eriri actually envies that kind of courage... but she's not really envious, hmph!

"Regarding the school anniversary..." Kato Megumi nudged Kobayashi Sora, "Aren't the clubs preparing for events?"

“The preparation activities are for raising funds,” Kobayashi Sora explained, “but we don’t need to. We can just enjoy ourselves.”

Furthermore, Aki Tomoya has already prepared an event to hold an anime marathon screening.

During the event, he would play a series of recommended works from the past and present, and provide detailed explanations during the intermission.

The location is in the audiovisual classroom.

Although most club members don't participate, it's still considered a club activity.

“They say it’s for enjoyment,” Kasumigaoka Utaha patted the computer, “but in the end, we still have to be busy.”

“At the current pace,” Kobayashi Sora calculated in his mind, “if all goes well, the script revisions can be completed before the school anniversary celebration.”

After that, it was the familiar routine for Kato Megumi: Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha left, and she and Kobayashi Sora rested for a while before continuing to work, taking a shower, sleeping, getting up, having breakfast, and going to school.

Nothing seems to have changed.

Besides... they walked into the classroom hand in hand.

Chapter 265 The School Forbids

The Toyonosaki school festival officially began on a Friday in late November.

After the opening ceremony at the gymnasium, lively sounds began to emanate from the classrooms, and the campus was immediately filled with a festive atmosphere.

Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi walked hand in hand through a corridor adorned with various decorations, surrounded by students soliciting customers and customers who only looked without buying.

"It's so lively..." Kato Megumi said, yawning as she spoke.

Didn't you sleep well?

"It's alright..." Kato Megumi leaned her soft body against Kobayashi Sora, her body barely touching Kobayashi Sora's.

There's nothing we can do about it.

I'm a little sleepy.
