How to raise a random guy's wife

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the options and said, "I think the red brooch is pretty good."

Eriri looked disgusted. "Ugh~ There are clearly rings down there, but you didn't choose one. How cowardly are you? You're so spineless."

"Buying a ring in a place like this is just pathetic, isn't it?" Kasumigaoka Utaha retorted. "Shouldn't it be bought on a more formal occasion?"

Eriri argued, "What matters is the sentiment!"

“It’s a sentimental choice, so let’s go with a nose ring,” Kasumigaoka Utaha suggested. “I’d like to see what this knight looks like with a nose ring on.”

"Your intentions are truly dark." Eriri pressed the keys and selected the brooch. "The brooch will only increase affection by one, and there won't even be any story event CGs."

"Then you still choose?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to choose this one?"

“I also said I wanted to choose a nose ring.”

"You can't choose two at once..."

"You two, stop for a second," Kato Megumi's voice rang out. "Go wash your hands, it's time to eat."

"Okay~" Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri answered in unison.

Everyone took their seats, and the food was ready.

After all, it's a villa area, so you can buy all kinds of ingredients as long as you go out.

Kobayashi Sora didn't expect that the seasonings also had to be bought on the spot.

After eating instant noodles and tonkotsu ramen for several days, and drinking plain porridge all day, Eriri was really looking forward to something better.

“Well then…” Kobayashi Sora raised her soda, “Merry Christmas.”

Kato Megumi smiled gently and said, "Merry Christmas."

Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her eyelids slightly, "Merry Christmas."

Eriri sniffed. "Merry Christmas."

The busy day finally came to an end, and everyone went to rest.

After all, it's a villa, unlike Kobayashi Sora's house, it has more than one bedroom.

Lying on the large bed, Kobayashi Sora hugged Kato Megumi and said, "I'm sorry."

"Hmm?" Kato Megumi leaned on his shoulder and looked up. "What's wrong?"

"We prepared so much for Christmas, but now..."

"No, it's fine as it is now." Kato Megumi shifted, pressing closer. "I've never stayed in a villa for Christmas before."

"It's a pity I didn't bring a gift." Kobayashi Sora gently brushed her nose against Kato Megumi's soft hair.

"A gift..." Kato Megumi murmured, turning around close to Kobayashi Sora's body, her alluring curves shifting as she pressed against his chest. "I brought a gift."

Before Kobayashi Sora could react, the girl's kiss landed on his lips.

His hand was captured by her, and with a soft kiss from Kato Megumi, the girl's slender fingers slipped through Kobayashi Sora's fingers and pressed his hand to the pillow.

Despite her dedication to fitness, Kobayashi Sora was powerless to resist and passively endured the girl's deep affection.

"Hoo~" The long kiss ended with a wet, sigh-like exhale from the girl. Her watery eyes reflected Kobayashi Sora's face. Kato Megumi's cheeks were pink, and her slightly messy, long black hair was draped over her shoulders, with a few strands sticking to her face with fragrant sweat. She curled her little finger and flicked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate and lovely ear. Her cherry lips were slightly pursed, and her soft voice drifted into Kobayashi Sora's ear, "Do you like my gift?"

Kobayashi Sora stared at her almost blankly, something welling up from the bottom of his heart, surging into his brain, but he couldn't form accurate and complete words to describe his feelings at this moment.

It's snowing heavily outside, but it's warm inside. Your gift is wonderful, and...

"I love you." This was all Kobayashi Sora could say.

He can do a lot of things and say a lot of things.

But at this moment, he only had one sentence to say.

I want to tell her, I want her to know.

Kato Megumi's eyes trembled, and the pounding of her heart made her press her hand to her chest, as if her heart, which originally belonged to her, was about to leap out and rush into Kobayashi Sora's arms.

"That's so cheeky..." Kato Megumi hugged Kobayashi Sora, "Why are you saying something like that all of a sudden..."

Kato Megumi hugged her very tightly.

It's like... wanting to merge Kobayashi Sora into one's body.

Kobayashi Sora gently stroked Kato Megumi's back, "How can I give you a present when you're hugging me like this?"

Kato Megumi leaned close to his ear and said, "You are my best gift."

The girl's gentle breath carried sweet words of love, and Kobayashi Sora tilted his head and kissed her earlobe.

Kato Megumi whispered, her voice soft like a feather gently tickling Kobayashi Sora's heart, "Sora, I love you."

The girl's voice trembled as if she were about to cry.

The usually composed Kato Megumi, in the moment of revealing her true feelings, was almost consumed by intense emotions.

The moment Kobayashi Sora returned the greeting, even the last vestige of reason vanished from her mind.

I love you.

What belongs to you is me.

Deeply in love,

You belong to me.

As night deepens, late winter is also early spring.

-

I can't sleep...

Eriri stared blankly at the ceiling.

I slept too much today, and now that it's time to sleep, I can't fall asleep.

The main problem is that she can't understand something.

Eriri turned her head, her long golden hair swaying in the breeze.

She looked at the woman beside her, "Why are you here?"

“I’m here to take care of the patient,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said, flipping through a book she’d found in the villa. “Of course I’ll stay here.”

Why you?!

"Otherwise what?" Kasumigaoka Utaha retorted. "We can't expect Sora to take care of you. Not only would you be worried, but Megumi wouldn't feel comfortable either."

"What about Hui?"

"If she's taking care of you," Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow, "would Sora be idle?"

“Hmm…” Eriri imagined that scenario.

She was lying sick in bed when two people beside her were making out, getting closer and closer, until they were even starting up right at her bedside...

Chapter 279 Shut up!

Eriri's face turned red at a visible speed.

"You're doing it again, aren't you?" Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at her sideways. "Can't you give the complicated knowledge in your head a break for a bit?"

"Mind your own business!" Eriri glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha. "It's Christmas, you know!"

"so what?"

"Isn't it normal for sacred new life to be born?"

"Only you would think that way." Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head and flipped through her book. "If they were talking, they'd probably be hugging and whispering sweet nothings to each other right now."

"Huh?" Eriri was taken aback. "I thought..."

"You thought you'd already hit a home run?"

"if not?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha scoffed, "Megumi has a great personality, and given their relationship, she'll agree if Sora just begs her a little."

"So that's why!" Eriri felt that someone as easy to talk to as Kato Megumi had probably already been taken advantage of by Kobayashi Sora.

"It is precisely because Hui will not refuse that Kong Qing will not make demands."

"what?"

"Kōshō's controlling nature manifests in his desire to break free from his control, and he generally tries his best to do his best in anything within his control." Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled. "They'll probably take that step after meeting each other's parents, formally proposing, and then finding a suitable day to send the cat to me, and then begin their shameless life together—speaking of which, Kōshō seems to have quite a few of your doujinshi, so maybe he'll use them as references, combining knowledge with practice, putting what he's learned to use."

"He...he can actually hold back?!"

“Only people who go for a bubble bath make the most of time. Between lovers, both directness and playful teasing are part of the romance.” Kasumigaoka Utaha glared at Eriri. “You really think everyone is like the characters in your notebook, starting after just two or three pages?”

"There aren't many pages to begin with, so of course we need to get to the point quickly!"

"Are you sure you're not just trying to cover up weaknesses in the plot?"

"Looking for eroticism in serious books, and plot in erotic books?"

“I wholeheartedly agree with that,” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. “Many readers have also asked me to write in more detail.”

"Right?"

It was rare that the two didn't argue, and after reaching a consensus, there was a somewhat awkward and even eerie silence.

"Oh, right." Kasumigaoka Utaha bent down and took a book out of her bag, her newest work. "Merry Christmas."

"what?"

"A Christmas present, a first edition signed by the author." Kasumigaoka Utaha handed the book to Eriri. "I didn't have anything prepared in time, so this was all I had."

"I... I want to make this clear first, I didn't prepare any gift." Eriri accepted it somewhat guiltily.

“If you prepare them, I’ll get angry.” Kasumigaoka Utaha scoffed. “When you should be in seclusion drawing until the sun sets, you’re thinking about preparing Christmas presents instead. That’s unforgivable.”

"I don't want to hear you say that when you've prepared a gift!"

"It's not me who's in seclusion."

“You…” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s words made so much sense that Eriri couldn’t refute them for a moment.
