How to raise a random guy's wife

What else can we do?

We have no choice but to indulge him.

Chapter 550 It Feels Like Another World

"Phew~" With her body completely immersed in the hot spring, Kobayashi Sora let out a long breath, enjoying the feeling of stretching her body in the hot water.

You can also take a bath in your home bathtub, but it's a completely different experience from a hot spring.

Regardless of the differences in the various active trace elements, the space for such unrestrained body stretching is something a bathtub cannot provide.

Kobayashi Sora's gaze shifted slightly, and Kobayashi Megumi splashed water at her.

"They said it was to save time..." Kobayashi Megumi complained, blushing, "But how was time saved?"

In the end, it took even more time.

"You can't blame me entirely, can you?" Kobayashi Sora moved closer to Kobayashi Megumi and hugged her. "It's clearly because you have too much of a thirst for knowledge."

"You dare say that?" Kobayashi Megumi glared at him. "I thought it was some massage technique I didn't know, but it turns out..."

“You really don’t know?” Kobayashi Sora replied matter-of-factly. “It is indeed a massage technique.”

"Hmm." With her cheeks puffed out slightly, Kobayashi Megumi turned her back to Kobayashi Sora.

She had intended to express her protest in this way, but thinking of Kobayashi Sora's love for the back of her neck, Kobayashi Megumi turned away again.

Just then, Kobayashi Sora kissed her on the lips.

"Hmm." The words that were about to come out were cut off, and Kobayashi Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora with a helpless expression.

So just how much do you like it...?

However, seeing the astonishment in Kobayashi Sora's eyes, Kobayashi Megumi's mood brightened.

I want to kiss the back of your neck, but I won't let you.

Noticing the smugness in Kobayashi Megumi's eyes, Kobayashi Sora vaguely guessed what she was thinking.

So the originally planned light kiss turned into a much longer one.

As her strength faded, Kobayashi Megumi realized a problem she had overlooked.

Kobayashi Sora does like the back of the neck, that's true, but he also likes the mouth.

What about other places...?

He likes it too.

He likes anything that's his own.

A bittersweet sense of helplessness washed over her. Kobayashi Megumi realized that whether she turned her back to Kobayashi Sora or faced Kobayashi Sora, she couldn't express her protest.

After all, he likes me so much, so whether I turn my back to him or face him, it's a reward for him.

That......

Her eyelashes fluttered, and Kobayashi Megumi closed her eyes.

Then we won't protest.

As their lips parted, Kobayashi Megumi tugged at the towel that had slipped off, covering her body once more.

Kobayashi Sora lowered her head. "Isn't that necessary?"

"Yes," Kobayashi Megumi replied earnestly, "Hot springs...you can't soak for too long."

"But..." Kobayashi Sora helped Kobayashi Megumi recall, "Do you remember the last time you covered yourself with a towel?"

"Hmm." Kobayashi Megumi remembered that a soaked towel might have the opposite effect.

But if the towel is taken away...

Kobayashi Sora whispered in Kobayashi Megumi's ear, "You don't have to stay in the hot spring all the time..."

Kobayashi Megumi looked at the smooth stones by the hot spring and thought of Eriri.

To be precise, it is a work by Eri Kashiwagi.

......

In the room, Kobayashi Megumi, who had changed into a yukata, took the iced milk handed to her by Kobayashi Sora and took a big gulp.

While hot springs can relieve fatigue, soaking in hot water for a long time can cause the body to sweat a lot and lose water, which can easily lead to anemia.

Therefore, you should replenish your fluids quickly after soaking in a hot spring.

Besides replenishing fluids, drinking milk can also provide vitamins, minerals, and protein. Drinking milk after a bath is considered both healthy and good for your skin.

Of course, drinking warm milk is even healthier.

Why drink iced milk?

Cool.

“Speaking of which,” Kobayashi Sora shook the milk bottle, “it is said that there is a correct way to drink milk after a hot spring.”

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Megumi looked over curiously.

"Place your feet shoulder-width apart on the tatami mats of the public bathhouse, keep your body stable and don't wobble, hold the milk bottle tightly in one hand, and use the strength of your wrist to pour the milk into your mouth." Kobayashi Sora explained and demonstrated at the same time, "Place your other hand on your hip with an air of swagger, forming an elegant 115-degree angle between your forearm and forearm, and look up at a 45-degree angle. Don't stare at the milk bottle, and then drink it all in one go."

Kobayashi Sora tilted her head back and drank the iced milk in one gulp, making a satisfying sound.

“Normally you wouldn’t do something so deliberate,” Kobayashi Megumi said, looking at her husband’s somewhat childish behavior. “It seems like only characters in anime do this.”

"There are quite a few things like that," Kobayashi Sora recalled. "There are also things like hitting watermelons on the beach."

"After all, watermelons are expensive, and cleaning them is a hassle..."

The two chatted for a while before the waiter brought dinner.

Looking at the various dishes, Megumi Kobayashi remarked, "Eating at a hotel feels different from eating at home."

"In terms of taste?"

"It's just a feeling." Kobayashi Megumi tapped lightly with her chopsticks. "It's so troublesome to prepare so many kinds of things at home. There are so many kinds of ingredients and seasonings. If you buy too little, it won't be enough. If you buy too much, it will be a waste if you forget about it."

“I often feel this way,” Kobayashi Sora said, echoing her sentiment. “When I see videos that teach how to cook various dishes, I’m tempted, but then I think about how I would have to prepare a lot of ingredients that I don’t usually use, so I don’t feel like trying it. It’s more convenient to just buy ready-made products.”

"That's why so many people choose to eat out these days..."

While eating, they chatted about trivial topics.

Occasionally glancing out the window, one sees snowflakes fluttering in the lamplight, just like the people there now, relaxed and carefree.

After dinner, I wanted to go out for a walk, but in the end I was too lazy to go out.

Brew a pot of tea, hold the teacup and snuggle up by the bed. The steam rising from the hot tea in the cup drifts gently, and the tranquil snowy night makes everyone who appreciates it feel lazy.

"Oh, right." Kobayashi Megumi suddenly remembered something, put down her teacup and instructed Kobayashi Sora, "Close your eyes first."

Kobayashi Sora closed her eyes. "What?"

"Don't peek!" Kobayashi Megumi broke free from Kobayashi Sora's embrace, got up, opened her luggage, and took out the things she had brought that morning.

Kobayashi Sora listened intently and heard rustling sounds; it sounded like Kobayashi Megumi was changing clothes.

"Alright," Kobayashi Megumi's voice rang out, "You can open your eyes now."

Kobayashi Sora opened her eyes.

The teacup slipped from his hand and spilled onto the tatami mat.

Kobayashi Megumi chuckled softly, putting her hands behind her back. "I was going to ask you if you liked it... but it seems I don't need to ask now."

The yukata that Kobayashi Megumi was originally wearing was placed aside. The clothes that Kobayashi Sora was wearing now were somewhat familiar to her, but also somewhat unfamiliar because she hadn't seen them for so long.

Sailor uniform.

Or to be more precise...

It is the girls' uniform of the private Toyonosaki Academy.

Chapter 551 I Won't Tell You

Bathed in warm light, Kobayashi Megumi, dressed in her high school uniform, met Kobayashi Sora's gaze and gave him a gentle smile.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Kobayashi Megumi has undergone many changes.

Her high school self and her current self are intertwined through a uniform.

Back then, she was a high school student whose presence was so low it was almost a problem; now, she's a soon-to-be-graduated college student and the chairperson of RER.

At that time, she didn't know much about love. Now she has been married for many years and has a lovely daughter.

At that time, she was somewhat pessimistic about the future, worried that her life of feeling invisible would continue indefinitely.

Now she has high hopes for the future and hopes that this sweet and warm life can continue forever.

If she could travel back in time and stand in front of herself now, she probably wouldn't believe that so many changes could have happened in just a few years.

Changes in appearance, change in status, change in temperament, change in personality... all the changes that happen because of one person.

Kobayashi Megumi twirled gracefully, the skin not covered by her socks shimmering, her swaying skirt elegant yet playful. "Weren't we talking about high school earlier? So I thought you'd like it, so I brought it along."

"I love it!" Kobayashi Sora's voice trembled.

Memories of the past rushed in, carrying every unforgotten detail, relentlessly bombarding Kobayashi Sora's reason, unleashing a dazzling light that made him dizzy.

Shy Kobayashi Megumi approached slowly, as if she had traveled through time to gracefully come to visit.

This overlap of time allowed Kobayashi Sora to perceive the existence of everything from the past more clearly.

Holding her in my arms, the images woven from memories and the tangible reality blend perfectly, creating a dreamlike experience.

"I think I've gained a little weight," Kobayashi Megumi murmured, nestled in Kobayashi Sora's arms. "My chest feels a little tight."

Somewhat dazed, Kobayashi Sora was caught by her voice, and he was finally able to accept that this dreamlike beauty was a real reality. "It's okay, I like it."

“I know.” Kobayashi Megumi blinked. “I know you like it, so… you should also know that I like it just as much as you do.”

"Eh?"

"I brought your uniform too." Kobayashi Megumi grabbed the hem of Kobayashi Sora's yukata and shook it gently. "Will you wear it for me?"
