How to raise a random guy's wife

It has to be said that the sheer size of the rice cake gives one an overwhelming sense of security.

Ran Kobayashi isn't very interested in various plush toys, largely because she has the care of her big cat, Mochi.

"Sometimes I really envy Lanlan," Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "She has a cat bigger than herself that she can cuddle and sleep with."

Kobayashi Sora blinked, then leaned close to Kobayashi Megumi's ear and meowed.

The rice cake, which had already closed its eyes, opened them again, turned its head to look at Kobayashi Sora, twitched its ears, and then lay down again.

“Look at the way Mochi looks,” Kobayashi Megumi poked Kobayashi Sora’s thick skin with her fair fingertip. “She’s being looked down upon.”

Do you find it unacceptable?

"Well......"

Don't hesitate.

Megumi Kobayashi stretched out her arm and pushed Sora Kobayashi's back, "Don't disturb the baby here~"

Kobayashi Sora moved along under Kobayashi Megumi's soft, gentle push, saying, "You haven't answered yet."

"Let's go!" Kobayashi Megumi's ears were red.

"I'm not moving unless you answer me."

"Alright then..." Kobayashi Megumi let go of Kobayashi Sora, and walked past Kobayashi Sora. "I'll take a nap by myself then."

Before Kobayashi Sora could react, Kobayashi Megumi went into the bedroom and closed the door.

Kobayashi Sora reached out and pushed the door open, hearing the click of the door locking.

"Wife?"

"I'm asleep..." Kobayashi Megumi's cheerful voice came from behind the door.

"I haven't gone in yet..."

"You want to come in?"

"correct."

“Well…” Kobayashi Megumi paused, “you can only come in if you’re rejected by the rice cake.”

Disliked by rice cakes...

Kobayashi Sora, struck by a sudden inspiration, meowed.

Click.

The sound of the door lock being opened.

Kobayashi Sora pushed open the door and went inside.

Nian Gao, who was lying next to Xiao Lin Lan, tugged at her ear and glanced disdainfully in the direction of the bedroom.

Ah, humanity.

......

"Waaaaaah!!!" Xiaolin Lan, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap, burst into tears without warning, her voice hoarse and desperate.

Nian Gao meowed anxiously and gently patted Xiao Lin Lan with her paws, but to no avail.

"Mommy's here!" Kobayashi Megumi rushed over and hugged Kobayashi Ran tightly. "Baby, what's wrong?"

"I... sob... and then... waaaaaah... it's just... ahhhhh!" Xiaolin Ran said between sobs. Her vocabulary was already limited, and with her emotional outburst, it was impossible to understand what she was saying after she had been talking for a while.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi didn't understand either, and gently patted Kobayashi Ran's back, "Oh... no wonder baby wanted to cry."

Hearing her mother say that, Lin Lan felt even more aggrieved and burst into tears.

"However, it's not cute for a girl to cry like that."

With tears still on her face, Xiao Linlan gasped for breath, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at her mother.

“Girls can cry like this,” Kobayashi Megumi demonstrated to her daughter, “Waaah...it’s so cute.”

Xiao Linlan pouted, "Waaaaah... Waaah... Waaah... Hmph~"

The adorable daughter tried her best to cry using the methods her mother had taught her, attempting to make soft, whimpering sounds.

As a result, he lost control and started squealing like a pig.

Xiaolin Lan's expression froze.

Then she immediately pursed her lips.

His lips were pressed tightly together, forming a single line.

Kobayashi Megumi suppressed a laugh. "What's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing."

"Let's try again. I feel like I'll succeed soon."

"I'm not going to try anymore." Ran Kobayashi shook her head vigorously.

"Give it a try!"

"No~" Kobayashi Ran still shook her head.

"Okay then, cry however you want, just let it all out."

"Um..." Xiaolin Lan opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, "Don't cry anymore."

"You're so great, baby!" Megumi Kobayashi helped Ran Kobayashi wipe away her tears. "Can you tell Mommy why you suddenly wanted to cry?"

Xiaolin Lan pouted, on the verge of crying again, but then she remembered how she had just made a pig-like squeal, so she held it back and mumbled weakly about the nightmare that had made her cry.

"Mom has a lot of dreams too, that's perfectly normal."

"What did Mom dream about?"

Kobayashi Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora.

Kobayashi Sora immediately remembered.

When she was pregnant, Kobayashi Megumi dreamed that he and the baby were fighting over milk.

With a smile, Kobayashi Megumi answered softly, "I dreamt that the baby suddenly started crying, and no matter what I did to soothe him, it didn't work. I was so worried."

"Hmm... Lanlan is easy to coax." Xiaolin Lan leaned against Xiaolin Hui. "Mom, don't worry."

"Yes, so the dream was just a dream, don't worry," Kobayashi Megumi suggested. "Mommy wants to do the laundry, Ranran, do you want to come with me?"

"want!"

"But there's one more thing before we go."

"Huh?" Xiaolin Lan tilted her head and looked at her mother in confusion.

"Nian Gao was very anxious just now, but Lan Lan has stopped crying. Should we comfort Nian Gao?"

"Mmm!" Xiaolin Lan nodded vigorously, reluctantly leaving her mother's embrace, and hugged the big cat. "Nian Gao, I'm okay now, thank you."

"Meow~" Nian Gao leaned against Xiao Lin Lan and licked her face.

The cat's tongue tickled, and Lin Lan, who had just been crying, burst into happy laughter.

Kobayashi Sora hugged the smiling Kobayashi Megumi and gently kissed her forehead.

“The baby is still here~” Kobayashi Keio pouted.

"That's why I kissed your forehead..."

Faced with such a gentle wife, Kobayashi Sora had to exert a great deal of effort to restrain the urge to kiss her deeply.

Ran blinked her big eyes, then, imitating her father, gave Nian Gao a big kiss on the head.

rice cake:"......"

"Now it's time to start washing clothes~" Xiaolin Hui clapped her hands lightly, "Daddy and Lanlan need to find the clothes that need washing."

“Okay~” Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Ran agreed together.

With a hint of helplessness, Kobayashi Megumi glanced at Kobayashi Sora, who was deliberately trying to sound young, her eyes filled with resentment, but a smile played on her lips.

The father and daughter worked together to bring the dirty clothes to their mother.

"Next, we need to sort the clothes by color." Kobayashi Megumi put a finger to her lips. "Those who have sorted first..."

Kobayashi Sora raised her hand, "A kiss as a reward for Mommy!"

"Yes!" Xiaolin Lan raised her hand in agreement, "A kiss as a reward for Mommy!"

“Okay~” Kobayashi Megumi nodded, “Then, let’s begin.”

Xiaolin Lan immediately took action, diligently dividing her little clothes into several groups of different colors.

Kobayashi Sora slowly sorted the items, trying her best to keep her pace slower than Kobayashi Ran.

"Lanlan has sorted them!" Little Lin Lan raised her hand and looked at her father, who was still sorting. "Lanlan won!"

"Lanlan is so amazing!" Kobayashi Megumi cupped her daughter's face in her hands. "A reward for amazing Lanlan—mua~"

Kobayashi Sora raised her hand and looked at her mother expectantly, "I've sorted mine too."

Kobayashi Megumi smiled, "Then..."

"No!" Xiaolin Lan stopped her mother. "You only get a kiss from Mommy if you win!"

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora lowered her hand, feigning disappointment. "Is it not okay?"

Kobayashi Ran said seriously, "No, that won't work."

"Alright then..." Kobayashi Sora had no choice but to give up; keeping one's word was very important.

"But..." Xiaolin Lan cupped her father's face in her little hands, "Daddy is great too, he can reward Lanlan with a kiss—mua~"

Chapter 521 One Strike Kills

Kobayashi Sora was stunned when her daughter gave her a big, wet kiss on the face.

That familiar feeling of being sunk...

Kobayashi Sora watched as her daughter, under her mother's guidance, put one piece of clothing after another into the washing machine.
