How to raise a random guy's wife

Akane Kousaka... why did she come looking for me?

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't believe that someone like Akane Akane would meet her for no reason.

Did Kobayashi Sora know about this?

She originally intended to tell Kobayashi Sora about this, but now...

According to Kobayashi Sora's idea, Akane Akasaka can help Eriri.

If I tell Kobayashi Sora about Akane Kousaka approaching me, will it lead to other developments and ultimately cause Akane Kousaka to choose not to help Eriri?

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it's best to wait until Eriri's predicament is resolved before proceeding...

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly saw Kato Megumi's face.

That was Kato Megumi's expression when they were discussing Eriri's issue.

Why...make things so complicated?

Although she didn't say it aloud, Kato Megumi's expression clearly conveyed that meaning.

"Sky blue".

"Ok?"

"I saw Akane Akasaka at a doujinshi convention before."

"I see." Kobayashi Sora nodded. "That's quite a coincidence."

"that's it?"

"She's one of the members who organizes doujinshi conventions, so it's normal to see her at one."

"She came here specifically to see me."

"..." Kobayashi Sora looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Then congratulations."

"Congratulations?"

“Your creative abilities are not bad, but you can’t expand such a large operation with just creative work.” Kobayashi Sora smiled. “The fact that she came to you means that she thinks you are capable enough. In other words, you have gained Akane Kousaka’s approval.”

"Hmph..." Kasumigaoka Utaha snorted lightly, "I don't care."

That's what it means...

Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled up slightly. "What would you do if she asked me to work for her?"

“Just like before,” Kobayashi Sora replied, “Congratulations.”

"What about Eri Kasumi?"

“We’re a high school club, so we’re destined not to go very far,” Kobayashi Sora said truthfully. “Besides, you should have already realized from Eriri’s situation this time. I’m not a creator, so my help to you is limited. People strive for higher goals. If you want to develop further, you need to learn from better creators or explore your own direction. At the very least, you shouldn’t waste your time here with me.”

"What if Hui wants to improve further?"

"Then I'll take two steps forward."

"Differential treatment".

"Of course, that's my wife."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "......"

There's no way to respond to that.

"It's ready." Kato Megumi and Eriri walked out of the kitchen, each carrying a box.

Kato Megumi walked up to Kobayashi Sora and handed him the box, saying, "Happy Valentine's Day."

Kobayashi Sora happily accepted it, "Thank you, wife. Can I eat it now?"

"It was originally meant for you to eat."

Kobayashi Sora unwrapped the chocolate, took out the heart-shaped chocolate, and put it in her mouth. The perfectly smooth and sweet taste spread in her mouth. "So delicious!"

"Exaggeration." Kato Megumi poked Kobayashi Sora's puffed-up cheek.

"Really, you should try it if you don't believe me."

"Stop fooling around." Kato Megumi blushed and covered Kobayashi Sora's mouth as she approached.

Utaha Kasumigaoka ignored them and turned to Eriri, "How are you feeling?"

"So troublesome..." Eriri muttered, "It's so simple, but it's so troublesome to make. That's why we don't just buy a ready-made product."

"Isn't this supposed to let you experience what it feels like for a young girl to make chocolate for someone she likes? Is that how you feel?"

Even if you say that, I didn't plan to give it to anyone.

"That's why you don't feel anything."

Eriri: "..." That seems to make sense.

In other words, the chocolates need to be sent out.

Who should I give it to?

As for boys, there's only Kobayashi Sora.

But he was already married.

If it's a girl, it's Megumi Kato.

She got married.

That......

Thinking of the pain of not being able to draw it, Eriri steeled her heart and handed the chocolate to Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Here you go!"

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha showed no intention of responding. "What kind of attitude is this?"

"You..." Eriri gritted her teeth in anger, "Happy Valentine's Day!"

"Well..." Kasumigaoka Utaha took the chocolate, "I'm actually quite happy right now, after seeing your expression."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

"Quiet down." Kasumigaoka Utaha opened the packaging. "Let me try it... Hmm~ It tastes like chocolate."

"nonsense!"

"Ahem." Kasumigaoka Utaha cleared her throat, a gentle smile on her face. "Eriri, thank you for the chocolate. It was really delicious, and I could feel your heartfelt sentiment."

"You..." Eriri's face flushed red, "What's wrong with you all of a sudden!?"

"Do you feel it now?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's gentle smile disappeared, replaced by Eriri's more familiar teasing, "After giving you Valentine's Day chocolates and being sincerely thanked."

"Where are you taking this seriously!"

"I've already tried my best." Kasumigaoka Utaha ate another piece. "Did you expect me to eat so much that my clothes would burst open?"

"Who wants to see your clothes rip!" Eriri said angrily, trying to calm herself down and experience that feeling... but she couldn't. "No... I can't feel it at all."

"How about this," Kato Megumi thought of a good idea, "how about we change it?"

Chapter 301 Reciprocity

"Should we switch?" Kobayashi Sora's gaze darted between Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, as if she had vaguely thought of something.

“Look,” Kato Megumi analyzed, “since Eriri, as the one giving the chocolate, doesn’t feel anything, then what if Eriri were the one receiving the chocolate? Would she feel anything?”

“So…” Eriri looked thoughtful, then pointed at Kasumigaoka Utaha, “to make chocolate!”

"Eh~~~" Kasumigaoka Utaha ate another chocolate. "Why did I have to do that kind of thing?"

"I've done everything for you, so you have to do something for me too!"

“It’s not like I wanted it,” Kasumigaoka Utaha ignored her. “You gave it to me yourself.”

"You..." Eriri was so angry, but there was nothing she could do... Hmm? The blonde twin-tailed girl narrowed her eyes slightly, "I said, can't you do it?"

"Eri, who do you think you're talking to?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked down at Eriri with disdain, put down the chocolate, and went into the kitchen. "Watch closely."

Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up the tools and began working with the remaining ingredients. Pots and pans flew up and down, and in no time, an indescribable mass was thrown onto the cutting board.

“No doubt about it,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a confident smile, “I just can’t do it!”

"So what are you so smug about?!" Eriri snapped, "You wasteful guy!"

The bickering went on and on, until Kato Megumi had no choice but to leave Kobayashi Sora's embrace and go to the kitchen to help.

Kobayashi Sora continued working, using both her mobile phone and computer to send and receive messages and organize materials.

Speaking of which... Izumi Hashima's work should be finished by now.

In a coffee shop, Iori Hashima pushes a box of chocolates tied with a pink ribbon toward Tomoya Aki, saying, "So, Tomoya-kun, this is Valentine's Day chocolate for you..."

Under the blushing gaze of the shop assistant, Aki Tomoya waved his hands in terror, "No, no, no, no, Iori, wait a minute!"

Iori Hashima sighed, "Isn't this a bit of a reaction? Weren't we originally good friends?"

"I don't remember being this kind of good friend!"

Iori Hashima looked troubled. "This is a gift she asked me to deliver before she went to sea. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to explain it to her."

"You should have explained this to me clearly from the beginning!"

"Actually, she seems to want to give the things to you personally, but unfortunately, there is the entrance exam for Metropolitan High School this week."

"So going to sea requires taking the entrance exam for a metropolitan school..." Aki Tomoya thought that going to sea for Hashima would require taking the entrance exam for Toyonosaki Academy. "Please tell her I do my best."

"I can pass on your message, but isn't it a bit late? You were working so hard at sea until late at night without even sending a text message or any supplies to comfort her, as if you weren't interested in her or worried about her. Now that I hear your polite encouragement, I think she'll feel like you don't care about her at all."

Aki Tomoya promptly lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry, I was extremely rude to your sister!" Then he asked the crucial question, "And then? You couldn't have contacted me just to run errands for a trip at sea, could you?"

"Well, actually, I'm here for work." Iori Hashima brushed her bangs aside, her eyes lowered in worry. "Even if they try to trip me up, I still have to complete the tasks assigned by my boss."

"You mean... 'superior'?" Aki Tomoya opened his mouth, "...'Sora Ao?'"

“That’s right.” Iori Hashima took out an envelope and placed it in front of Tomoya Aki. “This is your reward for the game. Since you didn’t buy any shares, your share will still be the same as the beginning. However, with Michiru Hyodo’s share included, the total will be more than you’ve earned.”

"I see... Does he no longer want to see me?" Aki Tomoya murmured.

Even at school, Kobayashi Sora completely ignored him.
