How to raise a random guy's wife

Held in her arms, Machida Sonoko was quite upset.

While I was still struggling with this, Akane Akasaka was already sleeping soundly, completely carefree.

Does Akane Kousaka really know what happened last night?

Akane Akasaka seemed to suddenly realize something and opened her eyes.

When their eyes met, Machida Sonoko felt a little awkward and subconsciously avoided Akane Akasaka's gaze.

Then, feeling that this made her seem too weak, she defiantly stared back at Akane Kousaka.

Akane Kousaka kissed her on the cheek. "I'm hungry."

"I'll go make something to eat... yeah right!" Machida Sonoko pinched Akane Akasaka's hand. "Kousaka Akane! Look what you did last night!"

"you."

“I…” Machida Sonoko almost choked on her breath, and reached out to pinch Akane Akasaka’s face. “You really dare to say that.”

“What’s done is done,” Akane Akasaka’s voice was a little muffled as Machida Sonoko pinched her face, “What’s there to be ashamed of?”

Should I praise you for being brave enough to admit it?

“I’d rather hear you praise me for something else.” Akane Akasaka blinked and hugged Sonoko Machida a little tighter. “Sonoko really surprised me last night.”

"This... I've never done it... so it's only natural!" Machida Sonoko blushed and stammered.

"I thought you'd hate it, but I didn't expect you to accept it so easily." Akane Kousaka smiled. "It seems I'm not the only one who thinks this way."

"Accept...accept? Who accepted it!"

"Didn't you say it's just human nature?"

“What I meant was…” Machida Sonoko’s face turned even redder, “That’s exactly what I meant.”

"Hmm~~~?" Akane Kousaka narrowed her eyes slightly. "Are you thinking about something else?"

"No!" Machida Sonoko grabbed Akane Akasaka's restless hand. "How could you change your mind so quickly! We were just last night..."

"We've known each other for so long, and spent so much time together, has it really gone by too fast?"

What she said makes a lot of sense.

“…” Machida Sonoko sighed, “My mind is a bit of a mess.”

Akane Kousaka nodded. "I understand."

"I'm glad you understand..."

"At this time, you don't need to use your brain; just let your body do the work."

"You don't understand at all! Let go!"

"Don't let it go!"

"Let go... I... I need to go cook!"

Akane Akasaka let go of his hand. "I want bacon and eggs."

“You really can’t do anything about it…” Machida Sonoko climbed out of bed. “I’m going crazy—ah!”

Suddenly patted on the shoulder, Machida Sonoko turned to look at Akane Akasaka, "What are you doing!"

"It looks like it feels good to the touch." Akane Kousaka twirled her fingers. "It is indeed quite nice."

"..." Machida Sonoko glared at her fiercely, casually threw on a T-shirt, and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

After making the bacon and omelet, Machida Sonoko's mood calmed down a bit.

Regardless, things have already progressed to this point, and no matter how upset you are, you can't change what has already happened.

“Koyuki,” Akane Akasaka said expectantly at the dining table, “would you like to have some drinks to celebrate?”

"Don't even think about it!" Machida Sonoko refused decisively. Last night was an exception, but she absolutely couldn't drink again today.

“Okay…” Akane Kousaka muttered, “Still so strict.”

return......

Machida Sonoko was somewhat dazed.

Thinking about it calmly, it seems that nothing has changed much.

I still have to make breakfast for Akane Kousaka, and Akane Kousaka will still be busy with her creative work as before. I am still her exclusive manager, helping her manage her works, taking care of her life, and controlling her drinking.

There's no difference from before.

At most... we just got a little closer.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Thinking about it this way, Machida Sonoko had no idea what she had been worrying about.

Could it be that Akane Akasaka was right, and that I was overthinking things?

“Today is the first day of the month…” Akane Akasaka suggested, “How about we go on Hatsumode (first shrine visit) later?”

"Didn't you used to be too lazy to go?"

"I'm in a good mood today," Akane Kousaka said, poking at the egg. "Let's celebrate."

What are you celebrating?

Chapter 880 Warm Hands

As it turns out, it's important to know when to stop being affectionate with your wife.

Otherwise, you'll end up like Kobayashi Sora, where the more joyful you feel, the more exhausted you become.

I was planning to get up early to attend the Hūshī ceremony, but I slept too long last night, so I ended up sleeping too late and too soundly.

Naturally, I woke up late in the morning.

Her face felt hot from the sun. Kobayashi Sora opened her eyes and closed them again, reaching out to touch her side while slitting her eyes open slightly.

Kobayashi Sora's hand touched nothing, so she pressed down on the bed to support herself and sit up.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Sora blinked. The curtains had already been drawn, illuminating the clean bedroom. Last night's antics seemed like just an illusion.

Slightly more awake, Kobayashi Sora moved her feet off the bed, put on her slippers, stood up, and stretched out a big yawn.

Soft sounds came one after another from my somewhat stiff body, and I felt much lighter.

Wearing a loose T-shirt, Kobayashi Sora followed the aroma of breakfast into the kitchen, then hugged Kobayashi Megumi from behind as she prepared breakfast. "Good morning, Mommy!"

"Good morning, Daddy," Kobayashi Megumi nestled familiarly into his arms, "but it's already quite late."

"It's okay if it's a little later."

"Stop it, I'm making breakfast, be careful... don't turn off the stove!" Kobayashi Megumi's voice involuntarily took a turn, "Coming so early in the morning... um... are you bullying me~"

"This isn't bullying; it's a reward for Mom who got up early to make breakfast."

"You're so good at talking..." Kobayashi Megumi savored her special reward, then patted Kobayashi Sora's head with satisfaction. "Alright, go make some coffee. Ranran will be waking up soon."

"Good~"

Kobayashi Sora skillfully brewed coffee, placed the brewed coffee on the table, and then added water and grains to the rice cakes.

While I was washing up, I heard the door to Ran Kobayashi's room open.

The cat, Nian Gao, strode out, wagging its fluffy tail, followed by a slightly dazed Lin Lan.

"Mom... Ooh~" Xiaolin Lan yawned and came out.

"Lanlan's awake," Kobayashi Megumi said, placing the breakfast she had prepared on the table. "Did you have any dreams last night?"

"Yes." Xiaolin Lan blinked, opened her arms, and let her mother pick her up. "Lanlan dreamed that her father took away Lanlan's delicious food, but there was so much delicious food, so she forgave her father."

"Ah..." Kobayashi Megumi felt that compared to a dream, this was more like... "Lanlan is great, washing up with Daddy and then we have breakfast."

"Good~"

Kobayashi Megumi watched the father and daughter washing up together, their movements quite similar, and a warm smile curved her lips into a happy arc.

As expected of father and daughter, the first thing they do when they wake up in the morning is to hug her. With just a little coaxing, she will behave obediently.

I don't know if Kobayashi Sora is like a child who loves to act spoiled, or if Kobayashi Ran is like an adult who is sensible and obedient.

Smiling and shaking her head, Kobayashi Megumi prepared some more desserts.

"I'm starting to eat!"

After finishing breakfast, Kobayashi Megumi savored the rich aroma of her coffee and looked at her daughter, who was happily eating dessert. "Ranran, do you remember what we're supposed to do today?"

"Hmm..." Xiaolin Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I want to wear pretty clothes to go out and play."

“Oh right,” Kobayashi Sora added with a smile, “Today is the first shrine visit of the year.”

"Lanlan remembers!" Xiaolin Lan's eyes lit up. "We're going to make a wish today, and we also have to draw lots!"

Kobayashi Megumi thought of her daughter's wish from last year, "Did Ranran's wish come true?"

"I've achieved it!" Ran Kobayashi counted on her fingers, "I wanted ice cream, and I got ice cream, and delicious pudding too. I wanted to go to the beach, and I went to the beach, ate delicious barbecue, and watched beautiful fireworks... So many things have come true. I wish all my wishes would come true this year!"

"Okay~" Kobayashi Sora wiped the cream off her daughter's mouth. "We'll set off in a bit."

-

"We're probably the only ones who set off this late." Kasumigaoka Utaha still looked a little sleepy. "It's all your fault for insisting on chatting so late last night."

"Weren't you talking nonstop too?" Eriri glared at her. "I got up earlier than you, after all."

“Yes, yes~” Kasumigaoka Utaha replied in a drawn-out voice, “It’s me who kept talking… to help you improve your work.”

"I didn't beg you. You looked like you really wanted to say something, so I reluctantly listened for a while. Who knew you would start rambling on and on?"

"Blame me."

"I forgive you." Eriri snorted softly, raising her little hands to warm them with her breath. "Why is it so cold?"

"I'm alright..." Kasumigaoka Utaha reached out and took Eriri's hand. "Why are your hands so cold?"

"Your hands are so warm." Eriri's hand followed Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand and slipped into Kasumigaoka Utaha's pocket. "Why are you so warm here?"

"Your hands are too cold; I heard that's a sign of poor health. I'll ask Kobayashi Sora about it later and see if she can help." Kasumigaoka Utaha squeezed Eriri's hand in her pocket. "Don't you have your own pocket?"
