How to raise a random guy's wife

"The curtains..."

"When I came up from the first floor, I saw that the curtains on the second floor were nice."

"Okay, we'll get it done soon."

"Don't rush, there's still time." Kobayashi Sora pointed to the corner of the wall. "Can you move the security camera over there?"

"Ah, that can't be controlled from below."

"Then let's use a ladder," Kobayashi Sora suggested. "Adjust the angle. I just saw that there are quite a lot of people in line. If we aim it this way, it will be easier to handle if anything happens."

"Ok."

"With the partition blocking the light, will the lighting be affected? Does the store have any supplemental lighting?"

"Fit light?"

"It can make the venue brighter."

"I mean, in the bookstore..."

“There’s a photography studio on the street,” Kobayashi Sora glanced at the time. “If we go now, we should have enough time.”

"......OK."

"Thank you so much for your help. Your bookstore has set up such a great signing event. I'm sure your business will get better and better, and more bestselling authors will come here to hold signing events." Kobayashi Sora attributed all her suggestions to the person in charge.

"Thank you very much," the person in charge replied with a smile. "It will be set up soon."

"Thank you for your hard work." Kobayashi Sora smiled. "Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can help you with."

Once the venue was set up, Kobayashi Sora led Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi into the venue through the back passage. The staff spent about five minutes explaining the tedious precautions, and then the partitions inside the venue opened, and Kasumigaoka Utaha made her entrance amidst applause.

Kobayashi Sora stood behind Kasumigaoka Utaha, smiling as she greeted each reader and signed the books they brought.

It's hard to believe that a senior with a bad temper can maintain a kind smile for so long.

The line is still long, and there's still plenty of time.

Kobayashi Sora's gaze swept over the group, his eyes narrowing slightly.

A reader wearing a mask caught his attention.

The most obvious difference is that he wears a backpack on his chest.

These are not uncommon occurrences; people often carry their backpacks like this to avoid hitting others.

What truly aroused Kobayashi Sora's suspicion was that the man's eyes darted around, frequently glancing at the camera, adjusting his hat and mask, while his other hand remained clutching a light novel, and his face was visibly sweaty.

Normally, people who enjoy reading will try to avoid touching books when they are sweating, especially those who specifically attend book signings.

Even when holding a book, I hold it by the spine to avoid getting the pages dirty.

This person, however, was holding the book page tightly, as if... afraid the page would suddenly open.

"Kato." Kobayashi Sora called softly, while observing the team's progress and whispering to Kato Megumi, "Go find a few strong shop assistants, have them bring ropes, and tell them to act according to the situation."

"Huh?" Kato Megumi looked at him, her eyes filled with obvious worry. "What's wrong?"

"It's alright, I'll handle it," Kobayashi Sora replied. "You go ahead."

“…Hmm.” Kato Megumi left quietly.

Kobayashi Sora's eyes narrowed like a fox's, and things had taken a rather troublesome turn.

Although there is a high probability that the other party has a problem, it cannot be confirmed.

Taking action now could easily alert the enemy, or even lead to a counterattack.

But doing nothing might make things worse.

While Kasumigaoka Utaha was signing a book and the next person was stepping forward, Kobayashi Sora lowered her voice and said, "Listen to me from now on."

"Hmm?" Kasumigaoka Utaha paused for a moment, looked at Kobayashi Sora, and then nodded. "Hmm."

Although she didn't know what had happened, Kasumigaoka Utaha knew that Kobayashi Sora was very reliable when she was working and could be completely trusted.

One by one, the readers left satisfied with their signed books, and soon it was the suspect's turn.

"Kasumi...Kasumi Utako-sensei..." The suspect gripped the middle of the book, slammed it onto the table, and pushed it toward Kasumigaoka Utaho. "I really... really like you..."

"Thank you very much." Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and was about to open the cover when Kobayashi Sora pressed down on the book, grabbed the pages, and pulled it away from the suspect's grasp.

"Congratulations, lucky reader! You're the seventy-seventh person to sign today. As a reward, you can get a limited edition of Xia Shizi's new book just by answering one question!" Kobayashi Sora smiled, her voice filled with the seductive charm of a Southern School master. "Aren't you very happy? Aren't you very excited? But don't rush, you have to answer a question to get it. And this question is very simple: This bookstore appeared in the book before. On which page is it?"

"Huh?" The suspect subconsciously took a step back, his eyes fixed on the book in Kobayashi Sora's hand. "I... um... I don't know."

"It's okay, don't be discouraged, don't lose heart. Small failures are the mother of success. Difficult problems also have corresponding solutions. This is a reward, not a test." Kobayashi Sora said casually as she reached out and gently squeezed the book. Feeling the dent at the bottom of the cover, she was mostly sure of the answer. She handed the book to the suspect with a smile, "This is an open-book question. You can open the book to find the answer."

"I...I just want an autograph..." The suspect reached out to snatch the book.

“It’s alright,” Kobayashi Sora opened the book, pointing it towards an empty area. “I’ll help you turn the pages.”

The moment the book opened, accompanied by a soft sound, milky white liquid splashed towards an empty area, eliciting gasps from the group.

Kobayashi Sora threw down her book and grabbed the suspect who was trying to escape. "Your book is quite unique. May I see what's in your bag?"

"Okay...okay..." the suspect agreed repeatedly, his hands trembling as he opened his backpack and reached inside. "You'll ruin my plans!"

He pulled the camera out of his bag and smashed it hard against Kobayashi Sora's head.

Kobayashi Sora turned his head, and the machine that was originally aimed at his vulnerable temple instead hit his harder forehead. Ignoring the pain in his head, he raised his leg and kicked the suspect in the abdomen.

Damn it, I kicked it off target.

The man stumbled back two steps and fell to the ground. Several shop assistants then ran out and subdued him.

Chapter 54 A Chance Encounter at the Restaurant

"Xiao Lin!" "Xiao Lin!"

He heard Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha calling from behind. Kobayashi Sora reached out and touched her forehead, which was bleeding from a bump.

If there's no dizziness, headache, or nausea, it's probably not a big problem.

"I'm fine." Kobayashi Sora pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and pressed it against her wound, smiling. "I'm very sorry, there were some unexpected circumstances at the scene. I hope it didn't spoil everyone's enjoyment. The autograph session will continue, and I won't reiterate the precautions. Now, I need to add one more thing: I hope everyone can open the book themselves. Thank you for your understanding."

"Kobayashi!" Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up from her chair. "An autograph..."

"Don't worry," Kobayashi Sora interrupted Kasumigaoka Utaha, "I'll keep an eye on things here, nothing will happen."

"This isn't the time to talk about this," Kasumigaoka Utaha's red eyes seemed to burn. After what had happened, how could she continue signing autographs? "The autograph session..."

“Continue.” Kobayashi Sora stood behind the table. “Since we can’t change the fact that I’m injured, let’s try not to let this affect other things.”

One unexpected event was enough to upset him.

His thinking was simple: he knew his own body well and had been beaten before. The suspect's attack was an attempt to escape, and the force was not great; it was just that the blood made it look scary.

There were still quite a few people queuing behind, so Kobayashi Sora had to keep an eye on things here.

In addition, this is also a good deterrent; anyone who has similar ideas in the future will have to think twice.

At the same time, this incident at the autograph session, even without deliberate hype, is an opportunity to break into the mainstream.

But that's not enough yet.

Perverts are all too common here, and it's not uncommon for them to be caught by staff.

However, the staff members who were injured during the arrest, covered in blood but still persisted in completing their work, provided enough buzz and attention.

Hmm... Your thinking is very clear, and the injury is indeed not serious.

Kato Megumi gently tugged at Kobayashi Sora's sleeve, "Let's go to the hospital quickly..."

"No need, the driver will be here soon." Kobayashi Sora took out her phone and sent a message to the driver, "Kato, could you help me find some disinfectant?"

Kato looked at the handkerchief stained red and said, "Find a place to rest first."

"Then I'll ask a shop assistant for help." Kobayashi Sora waved to the shop assistant.

With a light bite to her lower lip, Kato Megumi revealed a rare display of obvious annoyance before turning and leaving.

When he returned, he was carrying a first-aid kit, and the shop assistant behind him brought a chair.

Kobayashi Sora sat in the chair with a smile, thinking that Kato Emi was more thoughtful than him.

Kato Megumi rolled her eyes at Kobayashi Sora, then pushed his hand away, cleaned his wound, disinfected it, and bandaged it with a thin layer of gauze.

Kobayashi Sora reached out to help, but Kato Megumi slapped her hand hard.

With blood on her face, Kobayashi Sora stared at the line with a smile. Several readers glanced at her and then quickly looked away.

While signing autographs, Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced behind her during the breaks.

Everything happened so suddenly, but now that she's calmed down, Kasumigaoka Utaha has come to her senses.

The person had previously cut a hole in the middle of the book and installed a small device similar to a musical greeting card. Turning the page would trigger the device, causing a milky white liquid to spray out.

It goes without saying what will happen to her as she bows her head to sign her name.

The camera in that person's backpack will record this scene in its entirety.

Then they fled during the riots.

Without Kobayashi Sora, some truly indecent things would have circulated online, and her writing career... not just her writing career, would have come to an end.

Kasumigaoka Utaha still feels a chill when she thinks about it.

Kobayashi Sora noticed the abnormality in advance and prevented a terrible thing from happening, staying here despite being injured.

He was injured because of her.

She should be the one treating his wounds.

But......

but.

Readers who originally wanted to chat a bit more now quietly opened their books, thanked Kasumigaoka Utaha after she signed them, and left.

Kobayashi Sora had been staring at the group, then suddenly uttered a questioning sound, "Hmm?"

"What's wrong?" Kato Megumi asked.

“Rinya, eh?” Kobayashi Sora replied softly.
