How to raise a random guy's wife

"Auntie Mayu~" Ran Kobayashi greeted sweetly, "Auntie who goes out to sea~"

"Ranran is getting prettier and prettier~" Mayu Sagara patted Ran Kobayashi's head.

"This is a birthday present," Hashima Ikio said, handing the gift to Kobayashi Ran. "Happy birthday, Ranran!"

"Thank you~" Xiaolin Lan said earnestly, "Lanlan is very happy."

“That’s why we came!” Mayu Sagara looked at the others. “Are we too late?”

“No.” Machida Sonoko shook her head. “It’s just that Sissi and I arrived early.”

"Oh... um?" Mayu Sagara paused for a moment, "Akasaka?"

Machida Enzi's expression froze.

After calling Akane Akasaka "Sissi," Sonoko Machida realized that Izumi Hashima and Mayu Sagara didn't seem to know about her new relationship with Akane Akasaka.

Akane Akasaka patted Sonoko Machida's hand. "My real name is Akane Kousaka."

“I know that,” Sagara Mayu said, surprised by the obviously overly intimate nickname “Ashi-Ashi,” blinking without revealing her true thoughts. “I didn’t react for a moment.”

Out of the corner of her eye, Mayu Sagara noticed that no one seemed to have any particularly strong reactions.

So this is a normal thing?

Mayu Sagara felt that she should also use a better nickname for Izumi Hashima.

Chuchu? Haihai?

None of them seem quite right.

Going out to sea, little seafaring?

She's not young either...

No, no.

Mayu Sagara realized she was overthinking things.

Machida Sonoko and Akasaka Akane are much older than her and have spent more time together, which is why they address each other so intimately.

Therefore, Mayu Sagara feels there's no need to rush; she can consider the nickname later.

Eriri also noticed Machida Sonoko's way of addressing Akane Kousaka and Akane's little gestures, and naturally connected it to herself.

If I and Kasumigaoka Utaha also establish a new relationship, will we still call each other that in the future?

I just can't bring myself to write a poem!

and many more......

Eriri changed her perspective on the problem.

This can definitely be considered a test.

If I can't accept the title "Little Poem," then I'll be even less able to accept more paid content after we establish a new relationship.

If I can accept this nickname...

Eriri's eyes flickered as she pondered earnestly.

Both Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi noticed a subtle atmosphere in the house.

Things were already chaotic enough, and now they're even more chaotic.

“You all sit for a while,” Kobayashi Sora decided. “Megumi and I will go prepare the food.”

Machida Sonoko stood up. "I'll help."

Eriri paused in thought, "And me."

Sagara Mayu honestly admitted, "My cooking is so-so, so I won't cause you any trouble."

Feeling a little embarrassed about the boat trip to Po Island, I thought, "My cooking was terrible too..."

"It's alright, Sora and I are fine." Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "You can play some games together, it'll be over soon."

Eriri skillfully adjusted the game settings and distributed the controllers.

Ran Kobayashi chose the game "Super Mario 3D World", which supports up to four players in local co-op. As long as you don't aim for a complete collection, the gameplay can be described as easy and enjoyable.

Ran Kobayashi really likes this game because after consuming the bell item, the game character will wear a cat costume, can attack monsters with claws, swoop down from the air, and even climb walls.

Eriri herself loves playing games, and she used to play with Ran Kobayashi often.

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi often played these games, which were suitable for all ages, with Kobayashi Ran, so Kobayashi Ran was also very skilled at them.

Although Mayu Sagara doesn't play many games, she often watches game livestreams and is quite familiar with them.

In contrast, Hashima usually plays visual novels when going out to sea, and doesn't know much about this type of game, so Mayu Sagara is there to guide her.

Machida Sonoko and Akasaka Akane had absolutely no relevant experience, so they had to learn together.

As the game progressed, everyone gradually got the hang of it, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Kobayashi Sora, who was in the kitchen, glanced at the game and thought, "As expected, this kind of game that is suitable for all ages is the most needed at a party."

“It’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. “If you say it’s too old, Zhu Yin and Yuanzi will get angry.”

"The fact that you said that means you also know who is older here, right?"

"I had no idea," said Kobayashi Megumi as she helped Kobayashi Sora prepare the food. "But the atmosphere is much better than before."

“That’s right.” Kobayashi Sora continued working, lowering her voice, “What exactly is going on?”

"I haven't figured it out either," Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head. "What do you think?"

"It's obvious that Sister Yuanzi and Sister Zhuyin have already confirmed their relationship, but..."

Kobayashi Megumi continued, "However, she hasn't fully adapted to the new relationship yet, and Sonoko-nee is a little lost."

"Shiha and Eriri must have discovered their relationship as well, perhaps they were touched or inspired?" Kobayashi Sora wasn't sure either. "In any case, it seems like Shiha and Eriri are showing some signs of something."

Kobayashi Megumi further analyzed, "On the one hand, they want to make new progress, but on the other hand, they are afraid of damaging the current relationship. Both sides hope that the other can be braver, but they themselves cannot muster the courage."

"As for Mayu and Izumi, nothing should have happened yet."

"However, judging from Mayu's behavior, she seems to want to take things a step further." Kobayashi Megumi recalled Mayu Sagara's words and actions. "But Mayu isn't in a hurry, and she didn't notice anything when she went out to sea."

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi paused simultaneously, glanced at the living room, looked at each other, shook their heads in unison, and smiled.

Mayu Sagara and Shimojima are friends, but Mayu Sagara has feelings for him on her own.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri are closer, after all, they have lived together for three years and both have some feelings for each other, but neither has taken action.

Machida Sonoko and Akasaka Akane have confirmed their relationship, but they haven't gotten used to it yet.

The situation suddenly became complicated when the three couples, who were at different stages of their lives, gathered at Xiaolin's house.

Mayu Sagara wants to take things a step further, so she will learn from the other two couples, but the other two couples are currently in an unstable state.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri want a relationship like Akane Kousaka and Sonoko Machida, but they don't want to lose a relationship like Mayu Sagara and Izumi Hashima, so they waver between the two.

Machida Sonoko and Akasaka Akane have made substantial progress, but because they haven't fully adapted, they inevitably feel somewhat lost when others are present.

Chapter 902 A Piece of Cake

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi are not worried about the current complicated situation in the living room.

They just have different progress bars; there's no conflict between them.

In the past, Kobayashi Sora would have inevitably made some plans.

Well now.

Let them be.

Shrimp tempura, stewed potatoes and meat, teriyaki chicken thigh meat, cream soup, steamed egg custard, vegetable salad... Kobayashi Megumi skillfully prepared the dishes that Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri liked, but she didn't know much about the preferences of the others.

“Mayu likes things a little sweeter, and she’s been dieting lately, so she’s been eating more low-fat meals. Sonoko-nee prefers things with a stronger flavor,” Kobayashi Sora explained. “Akane-nee isn’t picky at all; she’s fine as long as the portion is enough.”

“Dad knows so much,” Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head. “Do you know what I like to eat?”

"I know," Kobayashi Sora puffed out her chest. "Me."

Kobayashi Megumi gently pinched his cheek, "Mmm...you rascal."

“I bought tofu,” Kobayashi Sora showed to Kobayashi Megumi. “Today we have authentic Mapo Tofu.”

"Correct answer." Kobayashi Megumi gently rubbed his cheek with her fingertips. "Then do you know why I like you?"

"Because I did it for you?"

"Hmm...not entirely correct."

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora asked curiously, "Are there any other reasons?"

"Isn't the tofu quite bland?"

"Compared to other ingredients, indeed."

“And then,” Kobayashi Megumi whispered in his ear, “after you did weird things to me, I got hot and spicy~”

"I think tofu is so cute~" Kobayashi Sora murmured, "It smells so good and it's so soft."

Kobayashi Megumi protested, "We're being serious here."

Is this serious?

"You're the one thinking improperly."

Kobayashi Sora looked completely innocent. "I feel like we're thinking the same thing."

“H”.

"Eh?"

It started again over there... Kasumigaoka Utaha withdrew her gaze from the kitchen.

They can be affectionate while cooking, and their relationship remains as good as ever.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was quietly reading a book, but the loud shouting and playing games made it impossible for her to concentrate on her reading, as she already had something on her mind.

My gaze drifted and I noticed the direction of the kitchen.

It would have been better if I hadn't noticed.
