How to raise a random guy's wife

“But it’s really cute—come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve tried this.” On a whim, Kobayashi Megumi picked out a Kobayashi Sora blue shirt and put it on. “Hmm, it still feels the same as before.”

Kobayashi Sora's arms are longer, and when Kobayashi Megumi wears his clothes, her hands are covered by the sleeves, giving her a petite appearance.

"Mom is so cute!" Xiaolin Lan commented, mimicking her mother's earlier words.

Kobayashi Megumi smiled gently, "Thank you, baby~"

"Huh?" Seeing that her mother didn't argue like she did, Xiaolin Ran was a little puzzled. "Mom, don't you want to become scary?"

"It's not a matter of whether I want to or not, but rather, what does Lanlan truly feel?" Kobayashi Megumi opened her arms and turned around. "Is she scary, or cute?"

"Hmm..." Ran Kobayashi hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth, "Cute!"

"Mom thinks the same way. Compared to scary, cute is a more accurate description of Lanlan."

"Hehe~" Xiaolin Lan twirled around like her mother, but her smile suddenly froze. "Eh?"

"what's wrong?"

"Lanlan wants to be as cute as her mother!" Little Lin Lan tugged at her T-shirt. "But Lanlan still has a long way to go before she grows up."

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi thought for a moment, "It's not like there's no way."

-

"I'm back." Kobayashi Sora opened the door, carrying the groceries she had bought.

"Welcome back!" Lanlan stood happily at the door. "Daddy!"

The little girl put her hands behind her back and turned her body slightly from side to side to show off her current outfit.

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora looked at her daughter's little dress. "This dress is..."

It looks somewhat familiar.

“I altered one of my dresses,” Kobayashi Megumi explained softly. “Because Ranran wanted to be as cute as me, I altered one of my old dresses for her.”

Since changing my figure will take a long time, I'll just alter my skirt.

Since the body shapes are different, let's make the dresses the same style.

Kobayashi Sora touched Kobayashi Ran's hair. He remembered that they had matching parent-child outfits, so there was no need to specially alter the skirt.

Megumi Kobayashi tilted her head. "It feels different."

"...Did I say it out loud?"

Kobayashi Megumi's eyes softened. "I know even if you don't tell me."

"That shirt?" Kobayashi Sora noticed the loose white shirt Kobayashi Megumi was wearing. The long hem covered part of her thighs, and the loose shirt vaguely revealed the outline of her body. "Mine?"

Come to think of it, Kobayashi Megumi used to wear something like this too.

Kobayashi Megumi tugged at the hem of her shirt. "Yeah, I just suddenly thought of it and gave it a try."

"Lanlan wearing her mother's clothes, and her mother wearing my clothes..." Kobayashi Sora looked thoughtful. "They're both so cute. Which one should I kiss first?"

"Give Mommy a kiss first!" Xiaolin Lan reminded, "Because Mommy helped Lanlan alter her skirt, but Lanlan didn't help Mommy alter her shirt. Mommy worked hard, so we can't keep Mommy waiting."

"Lanlan is right." Xiaolin Kongqing put down the shopping bag. "Mom?"

Kobayashi Megumi bit her lower lip, closed her eyes, and leaned forward slightly. "I just can't do anything with you."

"Oh~~~" Xiaolin Lan's eyes widened.

Kobayashi Sora gently kissed Kobayashi Megumi on the cheek, saying, "Mommy is so cute."

"Hmm~" Even though it was just a kiss on the cheek, Kobayashi Megumi still felt a little shy being watched by her daughter.

Little Lin Lan raised her hand, "And Lan Lan too~"

"Lanlan is so cute~" Xiaolin Kongqing picked up her daughter and kissed her on the cheek.

"It tickles!" Lin Lan laughed sweetly. "Daddy, do you have anyone else you want to kiss?"

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora didn't understand why her daughter asked that. "No."

"Then..." Xiao Linlan smiled adorably, "it's okay to kiss Lanlan a little longer, right?"

Kobayashi Sora then realized what was happening.

If I were to kiss Lanlan first, I could only give her a quick kiss because I couldn't keep my mother waiting too long.

If you kiss your mother first, you won't have to worry about others waiting when you kiss Lanlan, and you can kiss her for a long time.

Kobayashi Sora tilted her head slightly, "Then let's kiss this side again, mua~"

Ran Kobayashi smiled even more happily.

"You~" Kobayashi Megumi gently rubbed her daughter's nose with her fair fingertips, her smile full of affection.

"Hmm... Lanlan is wearing Mommy's clothes, and Mommy is wearing Daddy's clothes," Xiaolin Lan's eyes lit up. "Does Daddy want to wear Lanlan's clothes?"

Kobayashi Sora: "...It makes a lot of sense, but Dad can't wear it."

Kobayashi Megumi's smile widened. "I can help you change it."

Kobayashi Sora sighed, "I'll leave it to Lanlan then."

Previously, it was Kobayashi Megumi who wanted to dress him in women's clothes, and now Kobayashi Ran has the same idea.

This is probably the unspoken understanding between a mother and daughter.

Ran Kobayashi's eyes darted around, then she spotted a passing rice cake. "You can wear rice cakes!"

Yes, and wanting to are two completely different things.

Seeing the helpless look on Nian Gao's face as she wore a little skirt, Kobayashi Sora was quite certain of this.

"The rice cake is so cute." Xiaolin Lan hugged the cat. "A kiss as a reward."

As she spoke, Ran Kobayashi kissed the rice cake on the head.

This time, a hint of happiness finally appeared on Nian Gao's face, which was usually filled with joy.

After leaving Kobayashi Ran's embrace, Nian Gao tried to take a couple of steps, but couldn't get used to wearing clothes. She twisted and broke free from the constraints of the little skirt, shook her fur vigorously to relieve the discomfort, and then turned to meow at Kobayashi Sora.

It has given so much to this family and now demands fair compensation.

Cat treats or freeze-dried food are both fine.

Chapter 620 Poor You

Original artwork for *White Album*, original artwork for *Your Name*, the manga for *Hara Takagi-san*, the remake of *One-Punch Man*...

As soon as Eriri opened her eyes, she remembered the work she was still doing.

Is this what it feels like to be an adult?

Somewhat bewildered, Eriri sat on the bed for a while, rubbed her messy blonde hair, yawned widely, got out of bed, and drew back the curtains.

The blinding sunlight streamed in, and Eriri squinted, taking a while to adjust.

Being bathed in sunlight made me feel much more energetic.

I heard that sunlight affects the body in some way... If you ask Kobayashi Sora, he'll definitely be able to explain it clearly.

Looking back now, I realize that I was so unwilling to work with Kobayashi Sora back then, but now we've been working together for so long.

There's something strange about it, like fate or something.

Also good.

Although there aren't many like-minded people in real life, there are quite a few artist friends online.

Compared to other situations where clients make things difficult for Eriri, her situation of only making things difficult for herself is quite good.

Stepping out of her room, Eriri noticed that Kasumigaoka Utaha's bedroom door was still closed, so she went straight into the kitchen to prepare something to eat.

Her cooking skills are mediocre; in fact, she has hardly ever cooked for herself.

I've learned to cook a few dishes now, purely because I'm hungry.

Kasumigaoka Utaha could eat pineapple buns for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and never get tired of them.

God knows how she grew so big.

Eriri likes fast food, but that's because her family has a chef who makes a variety of delicious meals every day, which is why she likes fast food that she can't usually eat.

Even if you let her eat it every day, she can't stand it.

Either eat pineapple buns with Kasumigaoka Utaha, or do it yourself.

Eriri chose the latter.

A ham sandwich with a tomato and egg, served with milk, makes for a simple breakfast.

It's already noon.

This is one of the advantages of being an artist. Since inspiration is needed, working hours are not fixed. Apart from specific formal meetings and scheduled exchanges, it doesn't matter whether you go to the company or not.

However, the resulting irregular lifestyle is also difficult to manage.

There are gains and losses in everything.

After finishing breakfast and leaving one for Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri went into her studio and started drawing.

This was a tacit understanding between her and Kasumigaoka Utaha. After all, neither of them knew if the other would suddenly have inspiration and stay up all night to create, so whoever woke up first the next morning would not disturb the other.

As Eriri was drawing, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It's already afternoon, why hasn't Kasumigaoka Utaha made a move yet?

Furthermore, Kasumigaoka Utaha is now working towards becoming an animation producer, so she shouldn't be staying up all night to create content anymore.

Did they go out?

Eriri glanced at the shoes by the door.

There shouldn't be...

After much hesitation, Eriri finally decided to go and check on Utaha Kasumigaoka's room.

To avoid disturbing Kasumigaoka Utaha's rest, Eriri carefully turned the doorknob and pushed the door open as quietly as possible.

With the help of sunlight filtering through the curtains, Eriri could see the girl lying on the bed.
