How to raise a random guy's wife

“Let’s go to the activity building first,” Kobayashi Sora whispered in her ear, “and then find a place to rest.”

Kato Megumi tilted her head. "A proper rest?"

"So why did you first think of something unconventional?"

“I never used to think like this…” Kato Megumi clenched her little hands. “Who is responsible for this change?”

So, I'm the one who corrupted you?

Kato Megumi hugged Kobayashi Sora's arm, saying, "It's because of you that I learned bad habits."

"Actually... I can be even worse."

"Don't be naughty." Kato Megumi hugged her even tighter. "Not at school."

"okay."

"You bad guy..."

A classroom in the activity room building, which is very close to the gymnasium.

At the entrance stands a sign that is only available today: "Stage Participant Control Room, Unauthorized Personnel Prohibited from Entering."

Waiting here were the four members of Icytail, wearing uniforms different from those of Toyonosaki Academy.

"You're the fifth to perform this morning," Kobayashi Sora reminded them of their performance order, "but you're the first in the afternoon's live performance."

"Another warm-up act..." Himekawa Tokino puffed out her cheeks, looking slightly annoyed.

Mizuhara Eichika chimed in, "This is Icytail, who's been really popular at the livehouses around here lately!"

“But this is the school festival of Toyonosaki Academy,” Morioka Aiko admonished, “and we’re not students of this school.”

"That's exactly what I mean," Kobayashi Sora concluded. "I discussed it with the school festival members, and that's how we got this opportunity."

"Let's start with a high-energy performance that will electrify the entire audience!" Michiru Hyodo shouted, then her face fell. "It's a pity Allen isn't here..."

"He's busy with the screening, which will probably break last year's viewership record," Kobayashi Sora mentioned. "Now, let's get ready. The music room is ready to use, and we have at least an hour for rehearsals."

"Alright!" Michiru Hyodou declared energetically, "Let's hold a live performance that brings together everyone from Toyosaki Academy and ruin Allen's plan!"

Leading them to the music classroom, Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi headed to the main building together.

"Senior Hui~" The junior from Bo Island waved happily as they made plans to go out to sea together. "Here I am."

"Let's go out to sea," Kato Megumi greeted the other person.

"It's supposed to be a high school festival, but it's incredibly lively."

"Because there were a lot of people attending."

"You've grown your hair long, it looks beautiful."

"Your new dress is very pretty too."

"My brother and I went to buy this a few days ago."

Is it a six-day event?

"Yeah, yeah, did you go there too, senior?"

"Yeah, I've been there a few times..."

Compared to the harmonious atmosphere here.

"The demo version hasn't been released yet, it seems you've discovered a problem." Iori Hashima said with her usual smile.

"I didn't expect you to participate in this kind of school festival," Kobayashi Sora replied with a smile. "Don't you think this is a boring and inefficient activity?"

"Don't be sarcastic or cynical towards the people who helped you. I was the one who pointed out the problem with the script."

"So I should thank someone who stole the fruits of my labor? You're more generous than I thought."

"Do you even have the time right now? Shouldn't you be busy revising the new script?"

"That was all done yesterday. Shouldn't you be enjoying the bright future with those guys who helped you?"

"We should spend time with my sister occasionally to help her relax; it's important to balance work and rest."

Kobayashi Sora raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you came here to accompany your sister and not to visit her?"

“That’s right,” said Hashima Izumi, “Kobayashi-senpai, I also feel that he has ulterior motives!”

"Um... going to sea," Iori Hashima said helplessly, "shouldn't we be in the same group?"

"Before you gradually reveal your true nature, or even now..." Hashima Izumi stuck out his tongue. "Compared to a frivolous person like you, Kobayashi-senpai, who is devoted to Megumi-senpai, is definitely better."

"Look how honest your sister is," Kobayashi Sora said with a genuine smile. "I like to learn from others..."

Kato Megumi, look over here.

“This quality of honesty,” Kobayashi Sora added.

Kato Megumi and Hashima continued their conversation as they sailed out to sea.

Iori Hashima tried to retort, "How dare you say that? When it comes to honesty, I'm just as honest as you."

Kobayashi Sora took out her phone, "I remember I still have someone's contact information saved on my phone..."

Iori Hashima said seriously, "We are equally honest."

Kobayashi Sora nodded, "That's what I think too."

“There’s a play being written by Kasumigaoka-senpai later,” Kato Megumi and Hashima Izumi suggested. “Let’s go see it together.”

"Okay!" Bo Island replied as he took the flyer handed to him. "Hmm?"

"What's wrong?" Kato Megumi looked over; the flyer had a slogan on it.

How can we let Eriri Sawamura win again!?

"Please vote for Ms. Toyosaki!" the people handing out flyers shouted around. "The results will be announced at 1 p.m. on Sunday on a special stage set up in the playground. Please participate!"

"Ah..." Kato Megumi remembered that this was a beauty pageant at Toyonosaki Academy.

So why would a competition like this happen at a school...?

"Pfft, hahahahaha~!" Iori Hashima burst into laughter without any restraint after reading the contents of the flyer.

"It's nothing to laugh about!" Bojima Izumi clutched the leaflet. "They're...they're such childish, such barbaric people!"

"Well..." Kato Megumi reminded her, "This is a beauty pageant."

Moreover, very few people at school know Eriri's true nature.

"Sunday... tomorrow or the day after?" Boshima looked up from the sea. "Senior Hui, could you help me get a ticket for Sunday?"

"Eh?"

"I will expose her!" Boshima Ikio declared, determined to uphold justice. "I will confront her at the competition venue and reveal her true nature!"

"Forget it." Iori Hashima knew her younger sister too well. "She's got this burning-out look on her face right now, but when she gets there, she'll just be biting her handkerchief backstage."

Chapter 266 Eating and Shopping

“I would…” Bo Island’s departure seemed to want to argue, but she gave up halfway through her sentence, “I would never bite a handkerchief.”

Is the result a rebuttal to this?

"As for the tickets..." Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora.

Kobayashi Sora nodded.

"Tickets are no problem," Kato Megumi said, relieved, "but Eriri isn't participating."

"This might be a scheme!" Bodao Chuhai's eyes sharpened.

"Eh?"

"Pretend not to participate, then suddenly show up..." Bo Island muttered to himself, preparing to avenge the provocation he had suffered.

"Alright, alright~" Iori Hashima said in a tone that sounded like she was coaxing a child, "How about we go check out Tomoya's screening?"

"Okay!" Bo Island immediately agreed upon leaving the sea, then realized, "See you later, Senior Hui."

"Bye-bye~" Kato Megumi waved, watching Hashima sail away. "What about us?"

"How about we go see a play that's been hailed as a 'legendary performance'?"

"Okay."

During the intermission after the band's performance, only a few faint noises echoed in the stadium.

Next up is the performance by the drama club, which was voted the most interesting among the programs showcasing the achievements of cultural organizations.

The performance was finally ready. The lights in the venue were turned off at the same time, and everyone's attention was focused on the stage illuminated by spotlights, with the announcement of the program coming from the loudspeakers.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. From now on, the drama club will be presenting the stage play 'Harmony Rhapsody,' script by Kasumigaoka Utaha, performed by..."

When this play premiered at the school's anniversary celebration last year, it received a standing ovation and won the script award at a subsequent drama competition. It can be considered Kasumigaoka Utaha's stage debut and is also the only theatrical work in which she has participated in scriptwriting.

The screenwriter, who could write such legendary dramas in his spare time besides his novels, was now sitting in the audience, glaring at Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi on his right, who were somewhat in the way, and then turning to look at Eriri on his left, who looked unwilling.

"Let's gather some material," Kasumigaoka Utaha reminded her. "Have a laugh."

"You're having fun by yourself!" Eriri whispered, her little white fangs gleaming. "Why did I even come to see this?"

“As for the material,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said, looking towards the stage.

Emotional stimulation can effectively inspire an artist's creativity, and this reason certainly couldn't fool Eriri.

Unless she wants to see it herself.

Eriri's presence here speaks volumes.

No matter how stubborn one's words are, one's actions always tell a story.

After all, Eriri has drawn doujinshi for Kasumigaoka Utaha's works.

On the stage before us, the actors' lines are getting faster and faster, their emotions are rising, their movements are becoming more and more intense, and the plot is getting more and more exciting.

"Amazing..." Kato Megumi exclaimed softly.

"After all, it's the script written by my senior."

“If we’re going to praise someone, let’s praise the club members,” Kasumigaoka Utaha corrected. “A script without performances is just a piece of waste paper; the people who bring it to life deserve more appreciation.”
