How to raise a random guy's wife

Kobayashi Sora recalled Kobayashi Ran's previous plan, "Are the fans all zombies?"

"No, no~" Kobayashi Ran protested, hugging Kobayashi Sora's neck and shaking it gently, "It has to be sparkly like this!"

“Then you should learn from Aunt Coco and the others,” Kobayashi Megumi pointed to the stage, “Look, the aunties are coming on stage.”

On the dazzling stage, the five members of Liella! made their grand entrance in their finest attire and sang their hearts out amidst the cheers of the audience.

What awaits us ahead?

No one will ever know.

But this haze is also a joy!

- Towards the stirrings that call to us

-Let's speed away!

Looking at the five dazzling figures on stage, Mayu Sagara suddenly turned to Izumi Hashima beside her and confessed, "Actually... I didn't really like this kind of song."

"Huh?" Hashima was enjoying the song when Mayu Sagara suddenly blurted out this, which startled her. "You don't like their songs? But weren't you working on Superstar project-related content all along?"

“It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s that I don’t like this type of song.” Mayu Sagara sighed. “Hope, beauty, health and positivity, to me, it’s like saying, ‘I’m doing so well, why aren’t you doing so well?’”

Bo Island thought for a moment, "Now that you mention it...it does seem a bit like that—but Liella! is different, right?"

“That’s right!” Mayu Sagara’s eyes shone. “I know how they overcame one difficulty after another to become school idols. I witnessed them start from failure and become champions in the finals. I saw them go from small stages to the Kohaku Uta Gassen. I participated in their efforts and fought alongside them. So… even though I don’t like this kind of song, when I hear them sing it again, I will remember the days and nights we worked hard together.”

It's not about condescending boasting, but about empathetic resonance and a call to lead by example.

That's probably the charm of idols.

Accompanying them from scratch, seeing them step by step towards success, and hearing their songs will also inspire you to pursue your dreams.

- Firmly believe in the power of dreams

I want to spread my wings and fly with you.

Is that okay?

Let's start writing a new chapter together.

Let's go!

-What a wonderful dream!

The perfect performance brought the trip to Kozushima Island to a perfect close, but the price was that everyone was fast asleep on the ship back.

Playing, singing, and dancing, even the energetic Lin Lan didn't get enough sleep on the boat. After returning home and eating something, she drifted off to sleep again.

While she was sleeping, Kobayashi Sora went to her parents' house and brought back the rice cakes.

As soon as Xiaolin Lan woke up, she saw the big cat and happily hugged the rice cake to show it the seashells she had found.

Kobayashi Megumi called out to Kobayashi Sora, "Darling?"

"You're here." Kobayashi Sora walked into the bedroom and found Kobayashi Megumi preparing to put on a duvet cover.

"Help me."

“No problem.” Kobayashi Sora was about to make a move when Kobayashi Megumi stopped her.

"Stand still." Kobayashi Megumi clearly had a better idea.

Kobayashi Sora obediently stood still and saw Kobayashi Megumi turn the duvet cover over.

Kobayashi Megumi draped the duvet cover, inside out, over Kobayashi Sora, making him hold up the two corners of the cover from the inside, and then tucked the corresponding corners into his hands, saying, "Grab it."

When Kobayashi Sora grabbed the corner of the blanket, Kobayashi Megumi was behind him, turning the blanket cover over and putting it on the blanket.

The duvet cover was put on so easily, saving time on stuffing the blanket in and tidying it up.

"There's such a good way?" Kobayashi Sora shook the blanket. "I never knew that before."

"I just learned how to do it myself," said Kobayashi Megumi, folding the blanket neatly. "It's much faster than doing it by myself."

"Then I can sleep a little longer with the time saved."

“Lanlan just woke up…” Kobayashi Megumi glared at him. “You should just rest.”

“What I meant by rest…” Kobayashi Sora’s eyes darted around. “Isn’t that what you were thinking?”

"Hmm..." With her pink cheeks puffed out slightly, Kobayashi Megumi turned her face to the side. "I was thinking that I wouldn't have a chance these few days, so after I got home... Oh, you wanted to rest, then you should rest well."

“I meant rest,” Kobayashi Sora changed her mind, “but that’s not what I meant.”

Kobayashi Megumi smiled slightly, "That's what I was thinking."

"My dear wife~" Kobayashi Sora hugged Kobayashi Megumi from behind, "Are you really not feeling well~? Okay~ take a rest."

"Stop being so cute~" Kobayashi Megumi's ears were red. She hadn't been able to make things convenient during the trip, and now she was being held in Kobayashi Sora's arms like this... "Not... not now."

Kobayashi Sora's eyes lit up. "I'll go buy groceries!"

"Really..." Watching Kobayashi Sora happily walk out of the bedroom, Kobayashi Megumi reached out and gently pressed her hand to her chest.

My heart is beating so fast.

Kobayashi Sora returned, saying, "Ah, I forgot something."

"what happened?"

*Chirp* Kobayashi Sora gently kissed her cheek. "Forget about this."

"You~" Kobayashi Megumi patted him lightly, her voice filled with sweet affection.

Kobayashi Sora had just gone out to buy groceries when Kobayashi Ran came to Kobayashi Megumi with rice cakes in her hands. "Mom, where's Dad?"

“Dad,” Kobayashi Megumi replied, “Dad went out to buy groceries.”

"I see..." Ran Kobayashi sat on the edge of the bed, looking intently at Megumi Kobayashi. "Did Mom and Dad fight?"

"Huh?" Kobayashi Megumi paused her work. "No, why would Ranran think that?"

"Because Mom and Dad haven't kissed in a long time."

Kobayashi Megumi didn't know how to explain this to her daughter.

At the beach, Kobayashi Sora was wearing swim trunks, and since it had been inconvenient for several days, she would feel quite embarrassed if they kissed in front of everyone.

These things, of course, cannot be told to Kobayashi Ran.

"Well..." Kobayashi Megumi thought for a moment, "If Ranran hasn't had ice cream for several days and then finally gets to eat it, it will taste especially delicious, right?"

Ran Kobayashi nodded vigorously, "That's right!"

“Mom and Dad are the same way,” Kobayashi Megumi further explained, “We’re not kissing right now because we want to experience a better kind of kiss.”

"Oh, I see!" Xiaolin Lan completely understood. "Then Lanlan won't let Daddy kiss her anymore!"

"Ah..." Kobayashi Megumi blinked.

It seems I need to make it up to Kobayashi Sora.

With even better kisses, and... even better kisses.

Chapter 762 Red Bean Paste Pancakes

"That's great! I hope it can be done!" Ran Kobayashi hummed the theme song from Doraemon, her voice light and cheerful. "Those kinds of dreams~ those kinds of dreams~ I have so many~ all of them~ please make them all come true~"

Her small body swayed back and forth as Ran Kobayashi watched the animation intently. When she saw Doraemon's happy expression as he ate a dorayaki, her eyes lit up. "Mommy, Mommy!"

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Megumi responded, "What's wrong?"

Ran ran to her mother, looking at her with hopeful eyes, "Ranran wants to eat dorayaki too!"

"Also?" Kobayashi Megumi glanced at the TV and immediately understood where the word "also" came from. She then turned to Kobayashi Sora and asked, "Dad?"

“Dorayaki…” Kobayashi Sora tapped her forehead lightly. “Japanese pancakes with red bean paste. If you’re making the red bean paste fresh, you have to soak it for more than four hours beforehand. I remember I still have some at home. Then there are eggs, milk, corn oil, honey, granulated sugar, and low-gluten flour—all the ingredients are there.”

"Okay." Kobayashi Megumi saved the file. "Let's give it a try together."

Ran Kobayashi excitedly raised her little hand, "For the dorayaki!"

Kobayashi Sora showed up, "For the dorayaki!"

The family of three skillfully tied on their aprons, and Xiao Linlan even put on her own little chef's hat.

Nian Gao yawned and crouched down at the kitchen doorway, paws tucked in, watching the commotion.

"First, prepare the materials." Kobayashi Sora even printed out a list. "Eggs?"

"Ready!" Xiaolin Lan put the egg her mother handed her into the bowl.

Kobayashi Sora checked a box on the list, "Next is white sugar."

"The sweet white sugar is ready!"

"Corn oil?"

"The sticky corn oil is ready too!"

"besides......"

Kobayashi Sora announced the required materials, and Kobayashi Ran, with the help of Kobayashi Megumi, prepared the materials.

"All materials are ready." Kobayashi Sora handed the checklist to her daughter. "Head Chef, please check it."

"Hmm, very good." The head chef nodded in satisfaction. "So... what's next?"

"Make the batter first," Kobayashi Megumi reminded her. "Milk, honey, and corn oil."

"No problem!" Xiaolin Lan carefully poured all three ingredients into the large bowl and stirred them with a spoon, following her mother's instructions.

“Then add the flour.” Kobayashi Megumi demonstrated to her daughter, “You have to sift it in so it won’t clump.”

"It's like snow... Lanlan wants to play too!" Xiaolin Lan sifted the low-gluten flour little by little into the large bowl, then continued stirring. "Is this okay?"

Megumi Kobayashi shook her head. "It needs to be stirred until there are no lumps."

"Hmm..." Xiao Linlan was a little tired. "Dad?"

"Leave it to me!" Kobayashi Sora took on this arduous task and stirred vigorously.

Ran and Megumi Kobayashi proceeded to the next step: making the egg batter.

"Add sugar to the eggs..." Kobayashi Megumi was about to start when she stopped, thinking for a moment. "Can Ranran crack the eggs?"
