How to raise a random guy's wife

For Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi, who had never argued before, this kind of quarrel between lovers was quite rare.

However, it wasn't to the point that I was curious enough to warrant extra attention.

The key point is that the man called Takuma was carrying a white paper bag with the words "Teen Co., Ltd." printed on it.

In other words, this person is an employee of a partner manufacturer of the Blue Warm Bath Hot Spring Hotel.

They staged this scene of jealousy and rivalry in a public place, each carrying a company paper bag...

Just then, Takuma noticed them and his expression showed a moment of panic. "Ah—Ms. Moriwaka?"

The woman who had been walking so hurriedly earlier was now walking even faster.

Takuma quickly approached, "Ms. Moriwaka, you've misunderstood!"

After completing the registration at the front desk, Moriwaka turned to leave without looking back, but Takuma chased after her relentlessly.

"You've got it all wrong! I'm doing this for work! Ms. Meryl came with me, and she's taking a bath right now! We're here to check on the customer traffic and also to deliver some samples of the yuzu soap! But while I was waiting for Ms. Meryl, Kirika came over by herself!"

Mori Waka's voice was calm, "No need for further explanation, I'll tell you the details later at the company."

"No... I can do it right now..."

Before Takuma could continue, Kirika's voice caught up.

"Why, Takuma, you've gone too far!" Kirika was about to cry. "So you're really going to choose Moriwaka-nee? You already have me, do you really like women older than you that much?"

"I already said no..."

In just a few words, three women have already appeared, and two more are present, their complex relationships exciting the onlookers.

Kobayashi Sora sighed and took the initiative to strike up a conversation, "Long time no see, Ms. Moriwaka. It's been almost five years since we last met, four years ago... right?"

Chapter 547 Self-satisfaction

"You are..." Miss Mori stopped and looked at Kobayashi Sora with some confusion. She blinked before recognizing him. "Mr. Kobayashi?"

Akane Kousaka is very good at poaching people, but her poaching ability has limitations.

She recruits talent based on her own creative abilities and her ability to enhance the creative abilities of others.

Therefore, the creators she can find are all those with aspirations. Creators who choose to give up, or those who have little talent or interest in creation, are basically beyond the reach of her abilities.

But running a company involves more than just creation; it also requires talent in other areas.

This is where Kobayashi Sora, who is skilled at coercion and enticement, comes in.

As for why Kobayashi Sora is so skilled... Kobayashi Kawaki keeps his achievements hidden.

"I didn't expect to see you here." Kobayashi Sora chuckled. "You go in first, I'll take care of things here."

"Ah... um... thank you." After thanking her, Ms. Moriwaka quickened her pace and left.

After all, the surrounding people's eyes became even more excited with the arrival of Kobayashi Sora.

“Ms. Moriwaka…” Takuma tried to stop her.

"Quiet." Kobayashi Sora's eyes narrowed slightly. "Yamada Takuma."

"Huh?" Yamada Takuma was taken aback. "May I ask who you are...?"

“Kobayashi Kawashima is my father.” Kobayashi Sora replied simply, then ignored the flustered Yamada Takuma and turned to Kobayashi Megumi to explain, “Do you remember when Akane-nee was sick and we went to Malz?”

Kobayashi Megumi recalled the scene, "Ms. Mori Waka, the finance department girl who brought Ramune soda?"

“It’s her.” After explaining the situation, Kobayashi Sora’s gaze turned to Yamada Takuma. “It’s okay to argue in public while wearing a suit, it’s okay to argue while holding a company paper bag, but it’s not right to do both things together.”

“This…” Yamada Takuma seemed to want to explain, but he couldn’t explain it in a few words, so he could only bow his head and say, “I’m very sorry.”

Kirika, who had been making a ruckus, seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem and her emotions calmed down considerably.

Kobayashi Sora looked at Kirika and said, "Nakajima Kirika, it's a common person's wish to have both a successful career and a happy love life, but it's not easy to do either one well. If you don't want to lose your career before your love life is settled, it's best to know when to stop."

Kirika opened her mouth, her face pale, and bowed deeply in apology, "It's all my fault, I'm so sorry..."

"Explain the rest to Ms. Moriwaka," Kobayashi Sora instructed Yamada Takuma before leaving with Kobayashi Megumi.

After entering the room and the person who had led the way left, Kobayashi Megumi asked curiously, "What is Tenten Co., Ltd."

“Yes, it’s my father’s company, or he has invested in it.” Kobayashi Sora put down her luggage. “Ms. Moriwaka was originally Malz’s accountant, but now she’s the accountant of Tenten Co., Ltd. It seems that this was arranged by my father.”

"Who is the Golden Princess?"

"Sonezaki Merry, also known as Ms. Merry, is an interior designer with an architect's license. She also runs several coffee shops and is very powerful. She is the interior design director of the latest project of Tenten Co., Ltd. She works for Golden Planning Company and is known as the 'Golden Princess' as a super big name."

“No wonder…” Kobayashi Megumi’s thoughts gradually became clear.

“Things are a little complicated.” Kobayashi Sora began to explain from the beginning, “Top salesman Yamada Takuma was in charge of contacting Ms. Meryl, so he arranged for Ms. Meryl to come here to rest, and at the same time, he could observe the flow of customers here.”

"Two tasks were accomplished with a sum of money and the time required for one operation." Kobayashi Megumi nodded slightly. "It was originally excellent time management, but an unexpected situation arose."

“His longtime crush, Kirika, found out about this and believed there was something more between them than business, so she tracked them down here. Hearing their argument, Ms. Moriwaka assumed that Yamada Takuma and Ms. Meryl really had something else going on,” Kobayashi Sora explained further. “As a salesperson, the expenses for entertaining Ms. Meryl are reimbursable, but for private dates, Ms. Moriwaka wouldn’t reimburse him—it’s not a small amount of money, which is why Takuma was so eager to explain.”

"But the more you explain, the more confusing it becomes, and it will also affect the company's reputation."

Kobayashi Sora waved her phone. "So my father, who is very familiar with the employees' movements, sent me a message asking me to handle it."

"The key to solving the problem is that sentence: 'Takuma and Kirika are not a couple.'"

“If they’re a couple, then it’s a private matter; if they’re not, then it’s a business matter.” Kobayashi Sora put down her phone. “Then we have no choice but to get involved.”

"Why is Kirika...?"

"This is also a strategy for pursuing someone. When everyone thinks they are a couple, there will be far fewer people competing with her for them."

Why were you put in charge of this?

"Firstly, I just happened to be there. Secondly, if my father had handled it, his knowledge of the employees' movements would have been exposed, especially since he also had access to such private matters, which would have made the employees uneasy."

Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head. "Then why aren't you afraid of making your employees uneasy?"

“The industry is different from business. The circle is only so big, and everyone knows my style of doing things to some extent, so there’s no point in hiding it,” Kobayashi Sora chuckled. “Besides, I’m not the top boss, so my presence isn’t very noticeable.”

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi blinked her big eyes, "Now that you mention it... it seems like I've really been quite invisible lately."

Smiling at Kobayashi Sora, Kobayashi Megumi voiced her suspicions, "Could it be... that while I was learning from you, you were also learning from me?"

"It seems to be working well now."

Kobayashi Megumi only became a qualified chairperson after studying with Kobayashi Sora for a considerable period of time.

As someone who experienced it firsthand, she knew all too well how difficult it was.

To learn from someone and achieve considerable success requires a thorough understanding of that person, long-term and meticulous observation, and sustained and unwavering effort...

The more you like something, the faster and better you learn it.

Kobayashi Sora learned quickly and well, just like Kobayashi Megumi.

This proves that he liked her just as much as Kobayashi Megumi liked him.

Seriously...

I thought I liked you more than you liked me, and I was secretly happy about it for a long time.

It turns out that you probably like me a little more than I like you.

Wouldn't that make people happier?

However, I'm still a little unconvinced.

I want to beat you...

I want to like you a little more.

Chapter 548 On the Tatami

“I think…” Kobayashi Megumi’s eyes shifted, realizing something else, “There might be another reason why I’m asking you to handle this.”

"Ok?"

Kobayashi Megumi cautioned, "Even if you don't intervene, they probably won't cause too much trouble. If you're allowed to intervene, it's likely that you want more than just to control the situation."

Reminded by Kobayashi Megumi, Kobayashi Sora realized what was happening and lightly tapped her forehead. Yamada Takuma's image appeared before her eyes, and his temperament was somewhat similar to... "Sara Fumio and Hashima Iori?"

“If this situation were to occur in RER as well…” Kobayashi Kei paused, “RER currently has quite a few idol-related businesses.”

“The Great Firestorm… I’ll gather more information and think about what to do.” Kobayashi Sora shook his head. “But there’s no rush. The priority right now is to enjoy myself.”

Only then did the two of them remember to look around the room.

Although it is a modern hotel, the decor is quite retro.

Many modern electrical appliances are cleverly hidden within wooden structures.

While ensuring convenient facilities, the unique style was maintained as much as possible.

Paintings of the four seasons hang on the wall, and some handicrafts are displayed around them.

Megumi Kobayashi retrieved a tea set from the corner, brewed some tea, and said, "Alright, please enjoy."

"Hmm~" Sitting on the cushion, Kobayashi Sora took the tea and took a sip. "Excellent craftsmanship!"

"It's tea now." Kobayashi Megumi held up her teacup. "Speaking of which, trying out tatami mats once in a while feels quite nice."

"It is said that getting up from tatami mats feels completely different from getting up from a bed."

"Ok?"

“Because of the difference in elevation,” Kobayashi Sora gestured, “when you get up from a bed, you put your feet down, but on a tatami mat, you stand up completely. The difference makes all the difference.”

“You can feel it when you wake up,” Kobayashi Megumi suggested. “Let’s see if it really is different.”

"Shall we go to sleep now?"

"It's only afternoon," Kobayashi Megumi blushed, "it's not even dark yet."

"I'm tired from the car ride, I'll take a nap to rest. A nap doesn't have to wait until dark." Kobayashi Sora raised an eyebrow. "Or... speaking of sleeping, you..."

"Hmm." Kobayashi Megumi's pink cheeks puffed out slightly.

"I'll go make the bed." Kobayashi Sora put the teacup on the table, got up, and took out the bedding to make the bed.

Kobayashi Megumi was indeed a bit tired; sitting in a car for a long time can be tiring. After taking off her khaki coat, her pink bodycon striped sweater and black tights were fully revealed to Kobayashi Sora.
