How to raise a random guy's wife

In the end, no one even cared about her existence anymore.

If possible, Hiromi Kato would like her younger sister to be a little more willful.

They can express their thoughts directly and convey their emotions frankly.

At the same time, there is someone who can accept her emotions.

Whether it was this action or the previous concealment from her sister, it was essentially a covert expression of Kato Megumi's own thoughts.

This signifies that Megumi Kato began to respect her own ideas and take action to uphold them.

That's why Hiromi Kato hopes that Megumi Kato and Kobayashi can develop their relationship further, and that Megumi Kato can express herself more.

This incident is a turning point.

Whether Kato Megumi will continue to hide her thoughts as before, or will she start to express them, and whether Kobayashi, who is used to being with Kato Megumi who hides her thoughts, will be able to accept Kato Megumi who expresses her thoughts, is uncertain for Kato Hiromi.

But whatever the outcome, Kato Megumi is brave enough to step out of her house at this moment.

"Meow~"

Back home, Kobayashi Sora casually picked up the rice cake and collapsed onto the sofa.

The cat feels warm.

"Meow?"

Seemingly sensing that Kobayashi Sora was in a bad mood, Nian Gao gently rubbed her chin against his neck.

What exactly is that feeling like...?

Kobayashi Sora couldn't say for sure either.

anger?

Not really, and besides, there's no one to be angry at.

sad?

There's nothing to be sad about.

depressed?

That doesn't seem right either.

But overall, it just feels... awkward.

I don't want to accept it.

I wish it had never happened.

But in reality, there is no time machine.

Reality......

That's just reality.

It happened, and that's that.

It wasn't really a farewell, was it?

Fleeing in disarray would be more appropriate.

I always thought I had everything under my control, but it turns out that Megumi Kato knew everything.

They just don't say it.

Don't be so considerate...

Isn't that just making myself uncomfortable?

They cleverly guessed everything, yet they couldn't accept it.

Like a... idiot.

With Kato Megumi's help, Kobayashi Sora no longer needs to search for other members, nor does she need to sift through complex information to find the few clues that lead to cooperation.

It saved us a lot of trouble; we should be happy.

But... I can't feel happy.

Something was stuck in my chest, wanting to burst out.

Kobayashi Sora promptly stopped the trend and left as quickly as possible.

I feel that I would feel better if I said more.

But you might regret it.

Very sorry.

so......

"It ran away." Kobayashi Sora approached the rice cake, only to be pushed away by the rice cake with its paw.

"Even you despise me." Kobayashi Sora loosened her grip on the rice cake and muttered to herself, "I despise myself too."

Nian Gao meowed and ran to the litter box, digging in it while watching him.

Forget about your troubles for now, come and scoop the poop.

"I'm in a really bad mood right now." Kobayashi Sora got up wearily, scooped the poop, changed the water, and added food.

Stopping thinking and getting busy actually makes me feel a little better than before.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Lord Ye's Love of Dragons

Eh?

At this time...

Could it be Megumi Kato?

Kobayashi Sora paused in her movements.

For a moment, he suddenly didn't know what kind of expression he should wear when facing her.

In short...

Let's laugh first.

Kobayashi Sora opened the door with a smile, and a stack of manuscript papers was slapped directly onto his chest.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had dark circles under her eyes, and her red eyes were icy. "I'm finished writing?"

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora's smiling expression vanished. "What?"

"The first volume of the new book!" Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms over her chest. "Easy peasy!"

"Ah, congratulations." Kobayashi Sora glanced at the thick manuscript. "I'll read it carefully from now on."

"Let's see now." Kasumigaoka Utaha walked into the house. "Otherwise, what do you think I came here for?"

"Okay." Kobayashi Sora handed the slippers to Kasumigaoka Utaha, took the manuscript paper and walked into the living room, casually starting to flip through it.

Mochi curiously approached Kasumigaoka Utaha and tentatively stepped on her thigh, which was encased in pantyhose.

The claws feel nice.

The rice cake lowered its head, its claws alternately stepping on Kasumigaoka Utaha's legs.

The rich, juicy texture awakened memories deep within the cat's bloodline.

Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to pet it but didn't dare to. She looked up at Kobayashi Sora and said, "Your cat is here—hey!"

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"What are you doing?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze and voice were equally cold.

Rice Cake looked at her strangely, then rationally stopped its clawing motion and turned to run away.

"I'm looking at the manuscript..."

"You weren't even looking!" Kasumigaoka Utaha slammed her hand on the table, leaning forward with a menacing air. "You were just flipping through things!"

Kobayashi Sora opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a rebuttal.

“I can’t tolerate anyone treating my work absentmindedly.” Reaching out and snatching the manuscript from Kobayashi Sora’s hand, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly noticed something, her eyes narrowing slightly. “Your demeanor seems a little off.”

"Is there?"

“I knew it wasn’t right.” Kasumigaoka Utaha confirmed her guess. She had originally planned to leave, but now she changed her mind. A smile appeared on her tired face. “What’s bothering you? Tell me so I can cheer you up.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha remembered that she had tried to find Kobayashi Sora's weakness last time, but she didn't find it and it turned into a seminar on her new work.

This is a perfect opportunity.

Staying true to one's original aspiration is a good thing.

"nothing......"

"Say it."

"I found it."

"The person that Lunli-kun is looking for?"

"Ah."

“Didn’t I say…” Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned.

“I feel the same way.” Kobayashi Sora looked up. “When he contacted me, I knew who he was looking for, but I didn’t tell him—he was looking for Kato.”

"Kato?" A blurry figure flashed through Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind.

Eh?

"I didn't tell Tomoya, nor did I tell Kato."

"Does Kato know?"

"I thought she didn't know, but actually she knew along with me."
