How to raise a random guy's wife

"There's nothing we can do about it," Kobayashi Sora honestly admitted. "We can only take it one step at a time."

“That’s all we can do.” Kobayashi Megumi nodded, then her eyes shifted. “However, there’s one thing we can start quickly.”

"Oh?"

“Secretary Kobayashi…” Kobayashi Megumi pinched Kobayashi Sora’s chin, “You used your position to harass and sexually harass me on multiple occasions. Now that I’m the president and you’re the secretary… are you ready for my revenge?”

Kobayashi Sora swallowed hard. "Revenge?"

I can't wait!

"It's too late to regret it now." Kobayashi Megumi pressed Kobayashi Sora's arm on his head. "Let's count your sins."

Kobayashi Megumi lowered her head. "First of all, it's her dishonest mouth..."

Kobayashi Sora struggled helplessly, but in the end, she could only choose to give in.

On the dazzling stage, the five members of Star Cluster made a brilliant appearance, and the audience erupted in thunderous cheers.

After a year's absence, they finally returned to the Tokyo finals stage.

As the music played, all five of them began to speak at the same time:

"True dreams never stop."

A dazzling light shone in his open eyes.

"At this moment, my heart is already racing and setting off!"

The five women spread out and began to dance the steps they had practiced countless times, showing the audience the fruits of their labor.

Her skirt swayed gently, and Tang Keke's voice was cheerful, "I don't know when it started, but my passion has quietly sprouted~"

Arashi Chisara clasped her hands to her chest, looking at Shibuya Kanon, "Let's try to convey these feelings~"

Tang Keke, who bravely acts out of love, and Lan Qiansha, who has persevered to convey her feelings, both sang together, "Our determination is firm, we'll give it our all~"

"What can I do?" Heian Nami danced lightly.

"The sky is radiant with light~" Hazuki Ren's movements were elegant.

Undeterred by repeated defeats, Heian Sumire and the socially awkward Hazuki Ren sing together, "Lift your heads and sing out loud!"

"Once you find your passion, life becomes full of color~" Shibuya Kanon, who was once unable to sing in front of others, sang out loud, "Do you feel the same way?"

The five singers' voices overlapped with the music, conveying their sincere emotions:

We have been waiting

Meeting is the true beginning

Dreams and Dreams

Mutual attraction makes all the difference

Realized the true wish

Unable to stop

My heart at this moment

They've already set off at breakneck speed.

Use all your strength right now!

Let's set off at breakneck speed!

Eriri looked at the five people on the stage, raised her phone, and wanted to record their radiant appearance as material for future creations.

But......

She was just holding up her phone.

Just watching.

Some materials need to be recorded using tools.

Some beautiful things need to be felt with your heart.

Because of dreams, we meet others and give our all with our companions.

Can I do this myself?

The wind blew through Eriri's long, black hair, catching her eye.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was right beside her, her usually cold red eyes now shining with the same light as Eriri's.

"Yinglili..."

"Ok?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice was distant and ethereal: "We can never shine on stage like them."

“Of course,” Eriri replied. “I don’t have that kind of stamina.”

“But…” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s gaze swept over the excited faces of the audience around her, “we can make our readers just as excited as these audience members.”

"Of course," Eriri smiled. "Don't hold me back."

"What's the point of wearing those skinny legs of yours?"

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

"Listen to music."

Kobayashi Megumi nestled in Kobayashi Sora's arms, gazing at the Star Cluster members on stage. "A long, long time ago, I also envied them for being the center of attention."

"Once?" Kobayashi Sora looked at his wife in his arms. "Aren't you envious now?"

“Yes,” Kobayashi Megumi looked up, “I prefer the gaze that finds me to the spotlight when I’m shining brightly.”

She tiptoed and kissed his lips as he sang.

I've been waiting~ Meeting you is the true beginning~

Meeting you is the end of my long wait;

Meeting you is the beginning of my happy future.

A dazzling light always attracts attention.

But you saw only my gloomy side.

Everything I envied has become a thing of the past because of your appearance.

Before you came into my life, all the beauty I desired was less than one ten-thousandth of what you brought me.

Kobayashi Sora embraced Kobayashi Megumi in her arms, feeling her deep love.

Mutual attraction made everything different~ Discovering our true desires~ We couldn't stop~

It wasn't me who found you.

Rather, it is because I am attracted to you that I cannot stop my steps toward you.

My heart is racing...towards you.

Getting closer.

Until I'm with you.

They can never be separated again.

Chapter 459 A Tale of Two Cities

After the performance, the five people, now dressed in ordinary clothes, reunited with the others.

“I didn’t really realize it before,” Mayu Sagara said, looking at them with admiration. “You guys are really amazing idols already.”

The enthusiastic cheers from the audience and the galaxy of glow sticks proved this point.

Shibuya Kanon smiled shyly, "This is the result of everyone's hard work."

“Speaking of which…” Hazuki Ren looked at Kobayashi Sora, “Thanks to you for being there during this incident, we were able to focus on training without worrying about what people were saying online.”

"It all started because of me, and besides..." Kobayashi Sora smiled, "I alone couldn't have resolved this crisis. The key is the support of your viewers. It was their efforts that made this matter resolved so quickly."

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke up, "How does everyone feel about being back on the finals stage?"

This is important material, so she certainly wouldn't miss this great opportunity to collect it.

The members of the star cluster all looked at Shibuya Kanon. Shibuya Kanon paused for a moment, then looked up at the large screen next to the square. "At this time last year, the five of us saw our achievements here."

Fragmented images flashed through her mind, and Shibuya Kanon's voice lingered, "That intense resentment lasted for a whole year."

“But, the moment we stepped onto the stage, it all vanished.” Shibuya Kanon’s eyes shone. “We came together because of our dreams, and we worked hard for them. No matter what the final result is, this experience is a memory worth treasuring for a lifetime.”

Hazuki Ren's eyes softened. "That's right. Long-term efforts aren't about getting a certain ranking, but about becoming a better version of yourself."

“We’ve already surpassed who we were last year,” Lan Qiansha said with a lovely smile. “That’s enough.”

"Being able to become a school idol is already amazing!" Tang Keke was easily satisfied. "As for grades, they're not important."

“That’s right.” Ping An Ming Jin tossed her blonde hair. “Achievements are just past honors. My goal is the stars and the sea.”

The five members of the star cluster looked up at the screen, their faces filled with a fulfilling happiness.

Eriri asked, puzzled, "Is the final result really not important?"

"Of course, because we've done our best," Heian Nami replied. "Even if the results aren't great, it's still the result of our hard work. Even if we got first place, there's nothing to be excited about; it's just the beginning of the next first place..."

The star cluster members nodded in agreement; they shared the same thought.

“It’s not quite what I expected…” Eriri carefully observed the five people’s expressions. “I thought you guys would be more nervous.”

"No way," Shibuya Kanon waved her hand. "After all, we've been in the industry for over a year now, we won't be as immature as before..."

Before the words were even finished, the results of the finals were already displayed on the big screen.

"Congratulations!" the host shouted excitedly, "The Tokyo region representative team that will be competing in the National Tournament is—[Liella!]!!!"

"Ohhhhhhhh!!!" Heian Meijin was the first to cheer, "Galaxy!!!"

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!" Tang Keke shouted excitedly, hugging Ping An Mingjin tightly. "We won!"
