How to raise a random guy's wife

Thus, the previous feelings of familiarity, wariness, and doubt all found their answers.

The business card has a name on it:

【Benisaka Akane】

She pursed her lips, put away her business card, and walked towards Eri Kasumigaoka's stall.

I saw Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi there.

"What about the rest?"

"Eri went to change her clothes," Kobayashi Sora replied expressionlessly. "The other two left."

Having learned of Aki Tomoya's departure, Hyodo Michiru naturally wouldn't stay.

Sensing that Kobayashi Sora's mood was off, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked Kato Megumi, "What's going on?"

"Well..." Kato Megumi gripped Kobayashi Sora's hand slightly tighter.

"I just went to the RER..." Kobayashi Sora recounted what had happened.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression gradually turned cold, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "...Did you beat him up?"

"you guess?"

"Eri stopped her, didn't she?" Kasumigaoka Utaha clicked her tongue and shook her leg in annoyance.

"We're a little short-handed." Kobayashi Sora took out her phone. Several groups of people had passed by in just a short while, clearly there to shop. "I'll call two more people over."

Just as I was about to send the message, five beautiful figures approached.

"Sky Blue!"

Kobayashi Sora looked up and saw the five school idols from Kikugaoka Girls' High School.

Tang Keke made a peace sign, "Keke's here to help!"

Shibuya Kanon smiled and said, "I thought it would be very busy, so I invited everyone to come."

Arashi Chisato took Kato Megumi's hand and said, "Thank you for giving our club admission passes."

Kato Megumi shook her head. "It's nothing."

“Galaxy~” Heian Mingjin looked around, “So many people, great, let’s be the brightest star here today!”

Hazuki Ren smiled serenely, "Hello, I'm Hazuki Ren, the newest member."

School Idol Liella!, here I come!

"It's getting lively." Eriri, wearing a dress, took off her glasses and hat, her golden twin tails gleaming. "Ready? The battle has only just begun!"

She flashed a big smile, as if nothing had happened.

Next to RER's booth, Iori Hashima, having finished everything, was chatting with a female cosplayer when his phone vibrated slightly in his pocket. He gave an elegant smile, apologized to the other person, and walked to a corner to answer the phone, "Are you here? I'll come pick you up."

"No need, I'm preparing the headquarters of the members' association—I can gather a lot of intelligence just by staying here."

"Well."

"So, you lost, Iori."

Iori Hashima smiled. "The match hasn't even started yet."

"I think you've already succumbed to the trend, haven't you? Have you even properly played any of their games?"

"How did you get your hands on it...? No, don't bother telling me."

"You're too green, Iori. You're standing on the shoulders of giants, but you're being trampled underfoot from scratch."

"I want to beat him under the same conditions."

"But you lost."

Iori Hashima looked helpless. "There's nothing we can do. We did our best on the sea voyage, and all the members performed wonderfully."

"Your sister... let me think, she debuted at least a year earlier."

“...I’m really amazing.” Iori Hashima said with a smug look on her face. “I guessed exactly the same as you.”

"What are your plans after that?"

"Have you already met those two?"

"I met one, and the other is in some situations—not bad."

"So that means it's合格 (qualified)?"

"You really are Kong Qing's good friend."

“Of course,” Iori Hashima chuckled. “That’s what I think too.”

"The rest depends on your own efforts. I look forward to your performance."

“Okay,” Iori Hashima replied, “Ms. Akane.”

Chapter 284 sold out completely.

"Eri Kasumi's latest masterpiece, don't miss it!" Tang Keke held up a sign with Eriri's painting on it, she was quite experienced in this kind of thing.

"Okay, here's your change. Please keep it safe. Thank you for your patronage." Shibuya Kanon's family owns a coffee shop, and Arashi Chisato has also sold takoyaki before, so she's very experienced in making change.

"Please don't cut in line, the end of the line is this way." As the student council president, Hazuki Ren is adept at maintaining order.

"They're also selling here!" Ping An Ming Jin guided the customers to disperse. Having worked in the entertainment industry before, she had no problem with simple scheduling thanks to her experience.

"Sorry, there's a limit of two per person. Thank you for your patronage." Kato Megumi and Eriri, who would normally be very busy, are now helping out the school idols.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha...

After the first fan who recognized her screamed in surprise, she sat to the side, signing autographs for them.

Initially, it was just a fan of Kasumi Shiko who wanted to try her out and get her to sign her autograph.

Later, it became a specific process.

Since we're already here, we shouldn't miss this opportunity; it won't come again.

Even people who don't know Kasumigaoka Utaha come to get her autograph after buying the game.

"Eri Kashiwagi-sensei! Eri Kashiwagi-sensei!" someone shouted, "Could you sign my autograph too?"

Eriri froze and looked in the direction of the sound.

Just as they were hesitating, they saw the person who had shouted was calling out to Kobayashi Sora.

Ah, this...

Although many people hope that the person drawing the doujinshi is a beautiful girl, upon calming down and thinking about it, it is indeed more likely to be a boy.

Since the club is called "Kasumi Eri" and the artwork on the notice board is in Kashiwagi Eri's style, isn't it highly likely that Kashiwagi Eri was present at the event?

There were nine people at the stall, only one of whom was a man, so Ms. Kashiwagi Eri must be that man.

Eight girls! And they're all so pretty.

No wonder it's drawn so well!

hateful......

Kobayashi Sora, who was moving CDs, paused for a moment, then quickly sorted out her thoughts. "I'm sorry, Ms. Kashiwagi Eri encountered some problems today. I'm a friend of Ms. Kashiwagi Eri."

"Ah... I see." The person was somewhat disappointed. "Um... could you please tell Ms. Kashiwagi Eri that I really love her work!"

"Okay." Kobayashi Sora nodded with a smile.

To be fair, he's absolutely right.

However, how to interpret it is up to the other party.

"Me too!" More voices rang out from the crowd. "I love the teacher's work too!" "I've been reading it since I was a child!" "Eri Kashiwagi-sensei is the best!"...

Eriri bit her lower lip and handed the game to the customer. "Thank you for your patronage!"

This is a kind of enthusiasm that I've never felt when I watched my dad selling notebooks from afar.

“Um…” the guest standing in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha declared earnestly, “I really love Kasumigaoka Utaha’s works too.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "...Thank you."

There's no need to be so considerate of my feelings.

"Thank you so much!" Kobayashi Sora announced loudly, "The game is sold out!"

Although there are still quite a few people in line.

"There will be more consignment sales for the store later, so please keep an eye on [Kasumi Eri]'s website."

Friendly applause erupted from the surrounding stalls, congratulating this scene that all creators aspire to.

After packing up the stall and gathering my belongings, the next step, naturally...

"cheers!"

Despite the many things that happened, at the celebration banquet after everything was completed, the clinking of beverage glasses was filled with cheers of dreams.

"Thank you all for your help." None of us are old enough to drink alcohol yet, so Kobayashi Sora could only offer Ramune soda. "You've been a great help."

"Don't say things like that!" Tang Keke hugged Shibuya Kanon beside her. "Kong Qing helped us a lot before, this is just returning the favor!"

“That’s right.” Shibuya Kanon nodded. “Let’s work hard together from now on.”

"I'd heard a lot of people were participating, but I didn't expect so many..." Sumire looked in Kasumigaoka Utaha's direction, her senior signing autographs until her hand was sore, and she was incredibly envious. "Can I write light novels too?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha rubbed her wrist. "Writing light novels often requires staying up all night."

"Then forget it." Ping An Ming Jin gave up decisively.

“Writers spend most of their time alone, searching for inspiration and organizing their thoughts,” Ye Yuelian reminded. “Signing autographs like this only happens once or twice a year.”

Ping An Mingjin gave up completely.

“I was a little worried at first,” Arashi Chisato whispered to Kato Megumi beside her, “but I didn’t expect so many. They were all sold out in one go.”

If takoyaki business could be this good... well, never mind, I'm too busy.
