How to raise a random guy's wife

"Okay~" Xiaolin Lan put her small hand on her waist, "Leave it to me!"

Megumi Kobayashi picked up the thin obi (waistband) and wrapped it around Ran Kobayashi's waist to secure the yukata. "Now you can let go."

"Hmm." Ran Kobayashi let go of her hand.

"Isn't this too tight?"

"It's not tight."

“Then Mommy will tie it.” The belt was a little long, so Kobayashi Megumi wrapped it around the belt again, tied a secure knot, and tucked the excess part into the belt.

Ran Kobayashi fiddled with the bulge in her yukata, saying, "There's so much extra fabric showing."

"So I need to tidy it up a bit more." Kobayashi Megumi reached into the side opening of Kobayashi Ran's yukata, the opening between the sleeve and the side seam, and folded up the excess fabric at the front and back to make it neat. "That'll do."

"All done?" Lin Lan called out happily, "Daddy, Daddy~"

"It's not completely healed yet," Kobayashi Sora reminded him, holding the belt. "It needs some more fixing."

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Ran stretched out her arm in confusion.

"Don't rush." ​​Kobayashi Megumi first lifted the front collar a little, then pulled up the back collar, then pulled the yukata down, adjusted it, and then put the buckle belt through the left side opening, wrapped it around the back of the yukata, tied it in the front, and then tidied up the excess part. The whole yukata then fit Kobayashi Ran's small body. "Daddy, the rest is up to you."

Kobayashi Sora finally had her chance to shine. She picked up the cherry-pink sash and wrapped it around her daughter's waist. "Is it tight enough?"

"Hmm..." Xiaolin Lan looked at her father who was so close to her.

Noticing her daughter's reaction, Kobayashi Sora thought she had been too rough and asked worriedly, "Was it too tight?"

"Mua~" Kobayashi Ran suddenly kissed Kobayashi Sora on the cheek. "Daddy, don't be nervous, this is just right."

Kobayashi Sora's body stiffened. "...Isn't this a bit of a foul?"

Ran Kobayashi looked bewildered. "What foul?"

"So cute it's unfair!" Kobayashi Sora said as she walked behind her daughter, wrapped the sash around twice, tucked the longer end under the shorter end, tied a knot, folded the longer part, aligned the middle with the knot, pinched it into a bow shape, wrapped it around the shorter end, tucked the excess part between the sash and the kimono, tightened it, and folded it in again. "All done."

Ran stood in front of the mirror, turned her head to look at herself, and admired the bow on her back. "Daddy's so awesome~"

"Right~" Kobayashi Sora practiced for a long time.

"That's really amazing." Kobayashi Megumi had also changed into a pink cherry blossom yukata, with a sky-blue belt matching her daughter's. "These days, a lot of people are buying ready-made products for lazy people."

Kobayashi Sora looked somewhat disappointed at his wife, who was already dressed in a yukata and had her sash tied. "I was thinking of helping you put on... and tie your sash."

Megumi Kobayashi tilted her head. "I can make the belt myself, but what about Dad?"

"Ok?"

Kobayashi Megumi turned to the side, tossing her hair aside, her snow-white neck peeking out from between the strands. "Could you help me put my hair up?"

"no problem."

Kobayashi Megumi sat in front of the mirror, and Kobayashi Sora took a comb behind her, lifted her shoulder-length hair, and patiently combed it smooth little by little.

Lin Lan watched curiously, "Does Daddy still know how to comb his hair?"

“Dad practiced secretly,” Kobayashi Megumi recalled a funny incident from the past. “He even bought a fake head to practice with, which startled Mochi.”

Kobayashi Sora gathered Kobayashi Megumi's hair into a bun, twisted it twice, and inserted a cherry blossom hairpin into the center of the twisted hair, muttering softly, "That was so long ago..."

"Huh?" Xiaolin Lan asked, puzzled. "Doesn't Mom have hair? Why does she need to buy fake hair?"

Kobayashi Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora in the mirror, her eyes gentle, "Because Daddy wants to succeed on the first try, so we need to practice with a wig."

Xiaolin Lan looked at her mother in the mirror and asked, "Did Dad succeed on the first try?"

"No, not at all." Kobayashi Megumi looked on with a look of reminiscence, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. "Because I was practicing with a wig before, although I practiced quite well, when I was helping my mother put her hair up, she was afraid of hurting me, so she put it up loosely."

Ran's big eyes crinkled into beautiful crescent moons as she smiled, "Daddy's so cute!"

Kobayashi Megumi smiled and looked at Kobayashi Sora in the mirror, "Right~"

“I said…” Kobayashi Sora turned the hairpin horizontally, wrapped it around her hair to secure it, then held the hairpin upright and inserted it into her hair. “These things should at least be said when I’m not around…”

Kobayashi Megumi blinked and earnestly gave her reasoning, "That way, Lanlan won't be able to see Daddy's cute shy face."

Ran Kobayashi agreed with her mother, "Yes, yes!"

Kobayashi Sora used a hair clip to secure the stray hairs that were falling down Kobayashi Megumi's head. "I'm not shy anymore... It's all styled now."

"Wow!" Lin Lan leaned forward. "Mommy is so beautiful!"

Her smooth black hair was styled in a bun at the back of her head, adding a touch of composure to her elegant demeanor. The hair hanging down on both sides, along with the wispy strands in front of her forehead, softened the mature feel and revealed her youthful liveliness and cuteness.

Ran Kobayashi was quite interested, "Ranlan wants to grow her hair long too!"

Kobayashi Megumi chuckled, "That would be really hot in the summer."

"Well......"

"Washing my hair is also a hassle."

"Um......"

"It takes a long time to get ready after I wake up."

“Short hair is cute too,” Kobayashi Ran gently tugged at Kobayashi Sora's sleeve, “Right, Dad?”

"Of course she's cute." Kobayashi Sora put a hair clip on her daughter. "Whether she has long hair or short hair, Lanlan is cute."

"When Lanlan grows up and can take care of her hair herself," Xiaolin Lan shook Xiaolin Kongqing's hand, "Daddy, can you help Lanlan style her hair beautifully?"

Kobayashi Sora replied with a smile, "Okay~"

Her phone beeped, and Kobayashi Megumi picked it up to check the message. "Shiha and Eriri have already set off. Let's go too."

"Let's go!" Xiaolin Lan cheered happily, raising her little hand. "Fireworks festival!"

Chapter 765 Fireworks Display

"So beautiful..." Ran Kobayashi's gaze darted back and forth between Utaha Kasumigaoka and Eriri.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was wearing a dark purple yukata, while Eriri next to her was wearing a green striped yukata. Eriri looked annoyed at the moment, but her mood improved slightly when she saw Kobayashi Ran.

Kobayashi Megumi noticed Eriri's unusual mood. "What's wrong?"

Eriri glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Ask her!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha replied with a smile, "She said I look like her mother."

Kobayashi Sora raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

Eriri exploded, "You dressed like this on purpose!"

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi thought back for a moment, and Sawamura Sayuri did indeed often wear a dark purple kimono.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at her. "What, you won't let others wear it?"

"you do this delibrately!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha spun around, "Isn't it pretty?"

"It doesn't look good!"

"It doesn't look good on Auntie either?"

"That's an exception!"

"They have shaved ice over there," Kobayashi Megumi pointed to a stall not far away. "It's so hot today, want to go get some?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri, and Kobayashi Ran all shouted in unison, "Yes!"

"Let's go eat." Kobayashi Megumi led Kobayashi Ran and Kobayashi Sora together toward the stall.

"There are so many people." Ran Kobayashi observed her surroundings.

"So don't let go of your parents' hands," Kobayashi Sora reminded him, "or you won't be able to find them."

"Mmm." Ran Kobayashi gripped Megumi Kobayashi's hand a little tighter.

"Strawberry, lemon, cantaloupe, blue Hawaiian..." Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head, "What flavors do you eat?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment, "I want strawberry flavor."

Eriri originally wanted the strawberry flavor, but after hesitating for a moment, she said, "I want the blue Hawaii flavor."

Ran Kobayashi was curious. She knew all the other flavors, but... "What does Blue Hawaii taste like?"

"Uh..." Eriri was stunned. Although she often saw the Blue Hawaii flavor, she couldn't quite describe what it tasted like. "It tastes like Blue Hawaii..."

Kobayashi Ran tugged at Kobayashi Sora's sleeve, "Dad?"

"Blue Hawaii has a light and refreshing soda flavor, and it shares the same sea-blue color as a cocktail called 'Blue Hawaii,' hence the name. The cocktail's name comes from the theme song of the movie 'Waikiki Wedding.'"

"That sounds great!" Ran Kobayashi thought for a moment, "Then I'll have the lemon flavor."

"Dad, let's share one," Kobayashi Megumi asked. "Which one would you like?"

"I want to eat the kind of food you eat."

"Then the cantaloupe one will do."

Eriri: "......" Even buying shaved ice has to be a show-off?!

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "..." No wonder Kobayashi Megumi has such a great figure.

"Mmm..." Ran Kobayashi's face lit up with infectious joy as she ate the delicious shaved ice. "So delicious—huh?"

She looked at another stall, "Mommy, Mommy, there are people selling clouds over there!"

"That's a cotton candy," said Megumi Kobayashi, leading Ran Kobayashi over. "You can eat it."

Xiaolin Lan stared wide-eyed, observing carefully.

Kobayashi Sora foresaw something.

The thin wooden sticks swirl around in the large pot, and the fluffy marshmallows are done.

The shop owner smiled broadly, "Cute little girl, would you like a cotton candy?"

Kobayashi Sora turned to look at her daughter, "Do you want it?"

"Hmm..." Ran Kobayashi looked at the shaved ice in her hand, "But I haven't finished eating the shaved ice yet..."

Kobayashi Sora knew it would turn out this way, "Leave it to Dad."
