How to raise a random guy's wife

Kasumigaoka Utaha reminded her, "We came together."

"I was brought here by you!"

“I was just worried because you haven’t come in so long,” Kobayashi Megumi said, looking at her daughter. “Lanlan often talks about you.”

Eriri hugged Ran Kobayashi, "Really? I knew Ran and I were best friends!"

“They,” Kasumigaoka Utaha reminded her, “there’s another one called ‘they’.”

Eriri hugged Ran Kobayashi, while Utaha Okagaoka wrinkled her nose. "Okay, everyone."

Mochi was having a great time stepping on Utaha Kasumigaoka's legs, and Eriri has never been able to enjoy Mochi's massage service. She has remembered this for a long time.

Before, Utaha Kasumigaoka could only envy her for having a cat to cuddle. Now that Eriri is holding Ran Kobayashi, it's Utaha Kasumigaoka's turn to be envious, since her legs are occupied by mochi.

Kobayashi Megumi found her phone and prepared to call Kobayashi Sora.

Watching the three people and the cat playing around, Kobayashi Megumi felt the atmosphere at home suddenly change.

Compared to the previous cozy atmosphere, there's a more lively feeling now.

But before she could even make the call, she saw Kobayashi Sora's car.

As soon as Kobayashi Sora entered the house, she noticed the situation and said, "I'll go buy some more groceries."

Eriri glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Look at you!"

It's all Kasumigaoka Utaha's fault for coming over without warning, causing so much trouble for the Kobayashi family.

“Megumi,” Kasumigaoka Utaha ignored Eriri, “You go with Sora, it’s Valentine’s Day.”

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi hesitated, "Then you guys..."

Is it really okay to leave the three of them to watch the house?

Ran Kobayashi points to the rice cake, "Ranran and the rice cake will take care of Shiwa's mom and Eriri's mom!"

"Okay." With the rice cake there, Kobayashi Megumi felt much more at ease. "Then we'll be back in a bit."

"It's okay to wander around a little longer." Kasumigaoka Utaha shook the mochi's fluffy paw.

"There's another trick to it." After watching Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora leave, Eriri belatedly realized, "You didn't even say hello, just so they could be alone together while we played with Ranran?"

With someone to take care of the child, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi can also enjoy their Valentine's Day together.

“Of course…” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s lips curled up, “It’s not just that.”

Eriri: "Hmm?"

"Ah!" Before Kasumigaoka Utaha could explain further, Kobayashi Ran suddenly remembered something important, "We haven't given the chocolate to Daddy yet!"

"No rush," Kasumigaoka Utaha reassured her. "Valentine's Day has just begun. You can give it to him when your father comes back."

“That’s right.” Xiaolin Lan nodded. “If I had given it to him just now, Dad would have left immediately. If I give it to him when he comes back, I can see him happily eating the chocolate!”

“That’s exactly what I mean.” Kasumigaoka Utaha patted the mochi, gesturing for the big cat to get up. She opened the things she had brought. “Before Mom and Dad come back, Ranran, would you like to come along and prepare a surprise for them?”

"Oh!" Ran Kobayashi's big eyes sparkled with anticipation. "A surprise?!"

"Ta-da!" Kasumigaoka Utaha shows off the manual, "A super easy Valentine's Day chocolate cake that you can make together!"

Xiaolin Lan raised her little hand, "Let's do it together!"

"Let's do it together... Wait!" Eriri, almost caught up in the atmosphere, looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with suspicion, "Can you do it?"

“No,” Kasumigaoka Utaha answered matter-of-factly, “so didn’t I bring you here?”

Chapter 687 Killing Four Birds with One Stone

"You!" Eriri bristled, realizing she was just a tool.

Ran Kobayashi shook Eriri's hand, "Eri-chan, can you make this?"

“Of course, Mom, I… um…” Eriri reached out to Kasumigaoka Utaha, “Give it to me.”

"Here you go~" Kasumigaoka Utaha handed the manual to Eriri.

"Adding cocoa powder... that's really simple," Eriri replied confidently. "Of course, this level is absolutely no problem!"

"Eri-chan's mom is amazing!" Ran exclaimed. "Ranran, come help too!"

"Go for it!" Kasumigaoka Utaha clapped along.

Eriri glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha, "You help me out!"

"But I don't know how."

"Then stand aside and watch!" Eriri was furious at the thought of Kasumigaoka Utaha sitting on the sofa playing with the cat while she was busy in the kitchen. "No slacking off!"

“Okay~” Kasumigaoka Utaha replied in a drawn-out voice, “Oh right, and this too.”

Eriri put on the apron that Kasumigaoka Utaha had brought her. "This...this is totally my size! You never intended to do it yourself in the first place!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was somewhat surprised, "You found out?"

"Of course!" Eriri was quite annoyed.

After learning to become a producer, Kasumigaoka Utaha's methods became even more terrifying.

He used to be sharp-tongued, but now he can execute his plans effortlessly, achieving four goals with one stroke without leaving a trace.

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi can enjoy some time alone, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha can enjoy the holiday fun, and Kobayashi Ran can play with her two mothers whom she hasn't seen in a long time.

Kasumigaoka Utaha will also be able to enjoy a Valentine's Day chocolate cake!

“Come on,” Kasumigaoka Utaha placed the tall chef’s hat on Eriri’s head. “Put it on.”

"..." Eriri protested, "Why are you wearing this?"

“Wearing it gives me even more motivation,” Kasumigaoka Utaha admired her masterpiece. “Can you feel a surge of energy?”

"completely......"

Eriri had just opened her mouth when she heard Ran Kobayashi exclaim in surprise.

"Wow, that's so cool!" Ran Kobayashi looked at Utaha Kasumigaoka expectantly. "Does Ranran have one too?"

"How could I possibly forget the lovely Ranran~" Kasumigaoka Utaha found the little hat she had prepared for Kobayashi Ran.

Xiaolin Lan found her little apron and tied it up; a professional little chef was ready to go!

Looking at Ran Kobayashi's outfit, which was almost identical to her own, Eriri couldn't bring herself to say the words of denial she had wanted to utter. "Never mind, let's get started already."

Take out the materials, unpack them, and get ready.

Following Eriri's instructions, Kasumigaoka Utaha found a kitchen scale to weigh the ingredients.

"It actually requires 70 grams of sugar?" Eriri had no idea before, but now that she was making it herself, she immediately felt the horror of the cake. "No wonder eating cake makes you fat."

“Even if you say that,” Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, “even if all 70 grams were on you, it wouldn’t make any difference, would it?”

"Why are you taking it so easy!" Eriri said, annoyed. "Go beat the eggs!"

"Okay~" Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to start when she suddenly noticed Kobayashi Ran's eager expression. "Ranran, do you know how to crack eggs?"

"Yes!" Xiaolin Lan nodded vigorously. "When I made ice cream with my dad, Lanlan learned how to do it carefully."

So the chores Eriri had just assigned to Kasumigaoka Utaha were immediately taken away by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Separate the eggs into egg whites and yolks. Add corn oil and milk to the egg yolks and mix well. Then add cocoa powder and cake flour and mix again.

This time, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't slack off, because the egg whites also needed to be whipped with sugar, and everyone had work to do.

"It says to stir until it turns white and foamy," Kasumigaoka Utaha said, stirring vigorously with the whisk. "Will this really turn white?"

"Yes, I can!" Xiaolin Lan recalled her previous experience, "Dad did it."

"I hope it works." Kasumigaoka Utaha continued stirring. "Ah, this feeling of stirring... it feels like making a cake."

"Otherwise what?" Eriri, who was mixing the egg yolk batter, glared at her.

"I might have the talent to be a pastry chef~" Kasumigaoka Utaha's hands kept moving, and her mind began to wander as usual, "Open a cake shop or something."

Little Lin Lan raised her hand, "Lanlan will definitely come to patronize it then!"

"Great!" Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled. "Then Ranran can eat whatever cake she wants, all she can eat!"

"Dream on," Eriri said, mixing the egg yolk batter. "Let's finish what we have on hand first."

“Hmm…” Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped what she was doing. “Pastry chefs really have a tough job.”

Eriri was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"My wrist hurts," Kasumigaoka Utaha said, rubbing her wrist. "It's so sore..."

"There's not a single bubble on it!" Eriri stared at Kasumigaoka Utaha suspiciously. "I'm telling you, you're not trying to slack off because you saw I finished my part, are you?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha shrugged, "Try it yourself."

"I'll give it a try!" Eriri picked up the whisk, tried for a while, then put it down, clutching her wrist. "My wrist hurts, it's so sore..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha had a "I knew it" look on her face. "Right?"

"No...but..." Eriri composed herself, "A cake earned through pain will definitely taste delicious!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha had a different opinion, "That's true..."

Eriri and Utaha Okumaka winked at her, reminding her that this was the time for adults to set a good example for children, and that they shouldn't give up halfway. "You have to work hard for delicious food! Do you want to give up now?"

"It's not that I can't..." Kasumigaoka Utaha's mouth moved, but after Eriri's prompting look, she finally remembered her adult responsibilities and changed her words in time, "It's not that I can't persevere."

Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up the whisk in despair, "It's worth the hard work for a better taste."

“That’s right!” Eriri waved her little fist. “Delicious food is born from hard work. We must not be defeated by a little pain. As long as we work together and take turns to work hard, we will definitely be able to finish it!”

That was so well said, Eriri wanted to applaud herself.

Then look at Ran Kobayashi.

Just as Eriri had predicted, Ran Kobayashi was looking up at them with a knowing expression.

Ran Kobayashi blinked. "So that's why you don't use electric mixers?"
