How to raise a random guy's wife

Eriri was stunned. "She's really hiding her true abilities."

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi slapped Kobayashi Sora's hand away and turned to comfort Eriri, "Eriri will grow up too."

Eriri said blankly, "That's what my grandma told my mom too."

Ah, this...

The image of Sayuri Sawamura flashed through Megumi Kobayashi's mind.

With such a precedent to follow, Eriri's future seems to be bright.

“But speaking of which,” Eriri organized her thoughts, “it seems like you’ve always been like this.”

“Because I was already married before,” Kobayashi Megumi replied matter-of-factly.

"Has nothing changed?" Eriri asked, unwilling to accept it.

What a great opportunity to gather material!

Let alone marriage, Eriri has barely even experienced a proper relationship.

As a creator, she naturally wanted to seize this rare opportunity.

But......

Thinking about it carefully, it seems like Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi have been like this for a long time.

They haven't even started dating yet, but they already have such a great understanding of each other, like they've been married for a long time.

What's the point of gathering materials?

“Changes…” Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head. “Ah, speaking of changes.”

She looked at Kobayashi Sora, "Where did you put the one from before?"

"Let me look for it." Kobayashi Sora got up and searched around. "It's here."

She handed the found documents to Kobayashi Megumi, and Kobayashi Sora noticed Eriri's questioning gaze. "What's wrong?"

"How do you know which one is which?" Eriri was completely baffled.

“Ah, this,” Kobayashi Sora explained, “It’s very simple. What she said before wasn’t something she was currently dealing with, nor was it something from too far ago. It was something that had changed recently and was temporarily put on hold. Adding to the conversation we just had, it’s something that’s related to you. In the end, there’s only one option left.”

Kobayashi Megumi showed her the documents Kobayashi Sora handed her, saying, "Help us choose a house."

Eriri looked at the label above, "A house?"

“Near Shinazugawa University,” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. “Well… people like you really should find a place to live.”

In Japan, university dormitories are essentially apartments jointly built or even leased by the university and real estate companies, and their location is not guaranteed to be adjacent to the university.

Furthermore, Tokyo has a large number of universities, and land is expensive, so schools are unwilling to purchase land to build dormitories because the cost is too high.

Private universities generally don't provide student accommodation; only some national universities, especially those whose campuses are not in Tokyo, may offer dormitory accommodation.

However, since the number of students far exceeds the number of student dormitories, and the dormitories are very cheap, there are many applicants, and it cannot be guaranteed that all applicants will be able to get a place.

Eriri belatedly realized, "I think I should find a place to live too."

“It’s the creator’s own awareness, I guess. Although you can create anywhere else, the creative environment at home is the best.” Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed. “Or do you still want to occupy the university art room and draw in your sketchbook like you did in high school?”

"I just haven't thought about it yet," Eriri argued. "Besides, Mom and Dad will help me think about it!"

No wonder he never grew up.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

"Let's get down to business," Kobayashi Sora explained. "We've already decided on a suitable location, but the specific apartment layout isn't ready yet."

“It’s easy for me on my own, but you guys have a lot more to consider.” Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced around. “Do we need so many rooms?”

Kobayashi Megumi explained one by one, “Sora’s storage room, our bedroom, plus the study and office space, as well as the nursery and playroom for our future child.”

Eriri counted, "So you're going to have three? You don't need a room for each child, do you?"

Kobayashi Sora chuckled, "Those are your rooms."

Eriri was stunned for a moment, then bristled, "You want to be my dad?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha exclaimed, "Your way of thinking is really peculiar. Why is your first reaction that they treat you like a child?"

"It's all his fault!" Eriri glared at Kobayashi Sora, then realized what she meant, "The studio?"

“Yes.” Kobayashi Megumi nodded. “I think… when we go to university, or even further into the future, Kasumi Eri can work hard together like we do now.”

Eriri's eyes flickered, "Megumi..."

“Then I’ll have to choose carefully.” Kasumigaoka Utaha examined them closely.

Eriri complained, "You've ruined the atmosphere!"

Chapter 484 Keep Trying

With the help of Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi finally settled on a new place.

After that, it was a matter of handling various formalities and finding a moving company to help with the move.

The previous house was prepared by Kobayashi Sora for himself, and the space was limited.

The new house is a completely different story; considering future plans, it will naturally be much more spacious.

Even with the help of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, it still took them half a day to finish cleaning up.

During their break, the four of them played games together in the living room.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!" Eriri pressed the controller repeatedly. "Throwing turtle shells in the air is so despicable!"

“Since it can be thrown in the air, it means it’s a standard procedure.” Kasumigaoka Utaha, holding mochi and controlling her character Eriri, said, “This is a competitive game.”

Most Nintendo games are easy to pick up but difficult to master. Even someone like Kasumigaoka Utaha, who rarely plays games, can quickly become familiar with the game controls with the help of the smart mode and use various items to fight back and forth with Eriri, who is a frequent gamer.

Compared to the confrontation on this side, the situation between Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi is much more harmonious.

“There should be lightning soon,” Kobayashi Sora glanced at Kobayashi Megumi’s inventory. “Use Invincible Star at the right moment, three, two, one, now.”

Golden lightning descended from the sky, but was neutralized by Kobayashi Megumi's Invincible Star. Kobayashi Sora then deliberately rushed off the track, using the fall to avoid the lightning's effect.

"There are banana peels around the bend ahead," Kobayashi Megumi warned. "Be careful."

Kobayashi Sora pressed the drift button, sparks flew from the wheels, and she successfully avoided the banana peel.

The two crossed the finish line one after the other. Although they were not first or second, their ranking was still relatively high.

"Look at them! We're teammates, why are we attacking each other!" Eriri complained as she chased after Kasumigaoka Utaha, frantically throwing fireballs.

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the leaping fireball, bringing the car to an instant halt. "You have the nerve to talk back to me? Who was the one who bullied me because I didn't know how to play?"

"I did that to help you grow faster—whoa!" Eriri, who had just overtaken Kasumigaoka Utaha, was knocked over again by the Bullet Killer chasing from behind. "This guy deliberately bumped into me!"

On the other side, Kasumigaoka Utaha drew a Lucky 8, and eight items—banana peel, green turtle shell, red turtle shell, bomb soldier, invincible star, speed mushroom, squid monster, and gold coin—surrounded her, which she then threw out all at once.

After one round of competition, even though Kasumigaoka Utaha had the kind of luck that beginners get, she still ended up in a pretty low ranking, just like Eriri, after battling with her for so long.

With her red eyes half-closed, Kasumigaoka Utaha was clearly getting worked up, pressing the controller harder and becoming increasingly aggressive in her actions.

“I said…” Eriri stared at the screen, “Megumi, you’re not holding onto a prop waiting for me to overtake you, are you?”

"No, that's not it." Kobayashi Megumi said, tossing the prop she had been holding onto to Eriri. "It's just a coincidence."

"It's definitely not a coincidence!" Eriri sped up and chased after them.

A little later, Kobayashi Sora temporarily left to go out and buy groceries.

After bringing the groceries home, Kobayashi Megumi also logged out of the game and helped him prepare dinner.

After dinner, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha got back to work, completed some of their artwork in their new home, and then went home separately.

After the two left, the new house immediately felt somewhat empty.

"No wonder everyone says you should invite friends and family over to your new home within a week of moving to add life and joy to the new house," Kobayashi Sora sighed. "Moving into a new home means a change of environment, and with physical exertion, if the house is too quiet, it can really affect your physical and mental health."

“Perhaps…” Kobayashi Megumi blinked, “the two of us can also liven up the new house.”

The new house was filled with their voices, imbued with their unique atmosphere.

......

"It seems... it really has grown a lot." Kobayashi Sora hugged Kobayashi Megumi, whose hair was disheveled, and couldn't put her down.

"Don't say it..." Kobayashi Megumi lazily raised her hand to cover his mouth, then placed it on his face, which turned into a gentle caress.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

Kobayashi Megumi bit her lower lip and squirmed in Kobayashi Sora's arms, "I told you not to say it..."

"I didn't say that."

"I'm just telling you not to say it," Kobayashi Megumi's fair fingertips traced Kobayashi Sora's Adam's apple, "just not to say it..."

It didn't say I couldn't move.

Kobayashi Sora understood and whispered in her ear, "Megumi, you're so cute."

"Mmm~" Kobayashi Sora's breath tickled, and Kobayashi Megumi's eyes softened. "Don't say it~"

"Is this something I can't even talk about?"

"Hmm~"

"Then what should I say?"

"You're not allowed to say anything." Kobayashi Megumi bit her lower lip lightly. "Besides talking... Is talking all you can do with your sweet tongue?"

of course not.

Kobayashi Sora lowered his head and kissed her forehead, her cute nose, her slightly upturned lips, her slender neck...

Actions can also convey his feelings to her.

......

"Do you still have rice cake food?" Nestled in Kobayashi Sora's arms, Kobayashi Megumi decided to talk about something else, otherwise she would soon... at least need to rest for a while. "Rice cake has been shedding a lot lately, remember to add fish oil."

"We added some at noon," Kobayashi Sora replied. "Don't worry, if there hadn't been enough food, the rice cakes would have started protesting long ago."

"I feel like rice cakes aren't very affectionate towards me lately."
