How to raise a random guy's wife

Page 29

Eriri's porcelain-white face flushed crimson at a visible speed as she gulped down a large mouthful of iced black tea. "I...I...you..."

“It’s better than I expected,” Kobayashi Sora said, checking the draft. “Hmm, let’s keep this enthusiasm going and continue with the One-Punch Man remake.”

"Are you an unscrupulous boss who exploits his employees?" Eriri glared angrily at Kobayashi Sora.

“You’re not an employee, and I’m not the boss,” Kobayashi Sora corrected. “We’re partners.”

Eriri gritted her teeth, "So you're not going to argue against exploitation and unscrupulousness?!"

Is a rebuttal effective?

"It's invalid! You heartless bastard."

"So there's no need to refute it."

"I'm going home!" Eriri said angrily as she packed her things.

Damn it... It has to be this kind of person, it has to be Kobayashi Sora who can help her overcome procrastination.

The readers' expectations, his own hopes, and Aki Tomoya's appreciation... none of it mattered as much as Kobayashi Sora's terrible personality.

Damn it... Can't you be a little gentler?

They insist on using force!

But if it weren't for his exploitation...

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

"It's getting late," Kobayashi Sora said. "I'll take you home."

"Need not!"

"Then I'll have my brother come pick you up."

"You don't need to look for my dad!"

Kato Megumi: "Hmm?"

Chapter 41 Shut up and eat buns

In the end, Leonard came to pick up Eriri.

Although Kobayashi Sora's house is not far from hers, safety comes first.

"Let me take you home," Kobayashi Sora said to Kato Megumi. "It's getting dark."

"Hmm." Having sorted out the complicated relationship between Kobayashi Sora and Eriri's family, Kato Megumi nodded gently. "I feel like staying at home is really fun."

Why do you say that?

"It's amazing that even though people are of different ages and have very different personalities, they can understand and value each other because of their shared interests."

“Indeed.” Kobayashi Sora smiled, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons.

Kato Megumi paused slightly, opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

I had just stepped out the door when my phone vibrated slightly.

Kato Megumi picked up her phone, turned on the screen, and saw her sister's message.

Your brother-in-law is home, he'll be back late.

Kobayashi Sora asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Kato Megumi silently raised her phone.

"That's true, but it's already so late." Kobayashi Sora reopened the door. "Stay here tonight, we can do our homework together."

Also...?

Kato Megumi nodded and replied to her sister's message.

How do I solve this problem?

"Well, first like this, then like this, then like this..." Kobayashi Sora stopped the mischievous mochi, "and then like this and like that."

So this is the answer?

"Understand the process; the answer is merely the result."

"Well......"

After finishing her studies, it was time to rest. Kato Megumi took out her toiletries from her bag, grabbed the pajamas Kobayashi Sora had given her, and went into the bathroom.

Kobayashi Sora went to the bedroom to make the bed and change the pillows.

If we follow Eriri's storyline, there should be a doujinshi here.

But it didn't.

Kobayashi Sora was woken up by the meowing of the rice cake, which was a sign of its longing for the breakfast made by Kato Megumi.

The morning sunlight streamed through the bright window, shining on the short-haired girl and creating a hazy glow.

Her cute short hair swayed gently as she bent down to feed the girl, strands of it spreading out like delicate golden threads, vaguely revealing her earlobes, which were almost transparent like warm jade under the sunlight.

"Good morning." Sensing Kobayashi Sora's gaze, Kato Megumi turned her head and greeted her softly.

"Good morning." Kobayashi Sora got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and went to school with Kato Megumi.

Logically speaking, a boy and a girl going to school together are very likely to attract attention from others.

But Kobayashi Sora didn't feel the gazes of the others at all, as if they didn't exist.

Until Eriri appeared.

"Ah, Kato Megumi." The blonde young lady's voice was elegant, and her smile was friendly, drawing the attention of the students in the class.

“…Sawamura-kun?” Kato Megumi seemed a little uncomfortable with everyone’s gaze.

"I didn't even have time to thank you yesterday before you went back. It took me a lot of effort to find you."

"Huh?" Kato Megumi was a little flustered and subconsciously looked at Kobayashi Sora.

Kobayashi Sora raised an OK sign.

That means you don't need to worry, right?

The surrounding classmates asked with great interest, "Hey~ what's wrong, Megumi? Did something happen between you and Sawamura yesterday?"

"Nothing really happened...it was just... together—"

“Let’s admire the flowers together,” Eriri chimed in. “She lent me her handkerchief.”

"Huh?" Kato Megumi looked bewildered.

“Beautiful roses always inspire longing, but touching them can easily lead to injury. Luckily, Kato helped bandage it.” Eriri tossed her artfully styled hair with her hand, the golden light shimmering through the strands, attracting almost everyone’s attention. “That handkerchief was of great help to me back then. So, calling it a thank-you gift would be a bit too formal... However, I hope you will accept it.”

Eriri handed a checkered ribbon to Megumi Kato.

"I picked it up casually while shopping; it's just a small gift..."

"Um, thank you," Kato Megumi could only say.

"Speaking of which, Kato-kun, would you like to come to the art room next time?"

"Huh, why suddenly..."

"Because I want to talk to you a little more... and also, I'd like to ask you to be my model?"

“Model…model?” Kato Megumi instantly recalled the splashing water from last night.

"Yes, the paintings in this exhibition."

"Exhibitions..." That should be a healthy one.

Kato Megumi hadn't replied yet, but the other students were already excited.

"Wow~~ That's amazing, Megumi!" "Yeah, it's unbelievable that Sawamura-kun invited me to be a model for his drawing!" "It's so great that I'd even accept being a nude model!"

The influence of a universally acknowledged beauty is terrifying.

Having successfully stirred up the surrounding commotion, Eriri approached Kato with a noble smile. To the onlookers, it seemed as if the two were closing the distance between their hearts and becoming friends.

However......

"Sawamura-kun," Kato Megumi whispered, "what exactly is going on...?"

"So, Kato-san, about yesterday..." Eriri whispered close to Kato Megumi's ear, in a voice no one else could hear, "If this gets out, I won't let you off the hook!"

"Well!"

Kato Megumi let out a suppressed gasp.

Eriri left the classroom with a noble and mysterious smile.

The students who had been watching dispersed.

Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora with a pleading expression, her face pitiful, "Will...will I be silenced?"

"If anyone's going to die, it'll be me first," Kobayashi Sora comforted her. "Don't worry."

"Rinya!" Yoshihiko Uago excitedly relayed to Tomoya Aki, who had just entered the classroom, "Sawamura-kun was just here!"

"Sawamura? What's she doing here?"

"Her... eh? What was she doing again?"

An Yilun also said: "..."

[Little brother, I want a pineapple bun]

During her lunch break, Kobayashi Sora received a message from Kasumigaoka Utaha.
