How to raise a random guy's wife

Actions? Posture? Attitude? Atmosphere?

Mayu Sagara couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she could clearly sense the difference.

Mayu Sagara and Izumi Hashima exchanged a glance, both having the same thought in their minds.

Chapter 922 Parent-Child Set

"It's so light~" Eriri stood on tiptoe, feeling the new sneakers she had put on. "It feels like it's been a long time since I've worn sneakers."

“To be precise, you haven’t exercised in a long time,” Kasumigaoka Utaha corrected.

Eriri glared at her, then waved her hand in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Don't you have anything to say?"

“Jeans and sneakers definitely go better together,” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded in satisfaction. “I have great taste.”

"Hey!" Eriri protested, "It's not just your taste, is it?"

“That’s true,” Kasumigaoka Utaha added. “The shoes are also nicely designed and have a height-increasing effect.”

"Gurgle..." Eriri grinded her little white teeth.

“Although she’s not as cute as before,” Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled, “she has gained a more mature beauty.”

"Hmph~" Eriri snorted and bought the shoes. "Your taste is just so-so. The clothes you picked are barely passable. If I weren't pretty enough, it wouldn't have looked so good."

"No one would say something like that themselves."

"Mind your own business!" Eriri picked up her shopping bag. "Where to next?"

“Put these in the car.” Kasumigaoka Utaha shook the shopping bags in her hand. “I don’t want to carry these around.”

Hashima Izumi and Sagara Mayu followed behind the two women from a distance, and as they watched them walk toward the parking lot, a sense of disappointment arose in their hearts.

Mayu Sagara sighed, "Are we going back already?"

“I haven’t learned anything yet…” Hashima Izumi looked at the milk tea in Sagara Mayu’s hand.

"Have a drink, have a drink." Mayu Sagara handed the milk tea to Izumi Hashima. "This little bit of sugar is nothing. Didn't we walk a long way today?"

After hesitating for a while before heading out to sea at Po Island, I finally couldn't resist the temptation and ended up holding the milk tea cup to my chest, biting the straw and taking a big gulp.

Wow, it can actually be placed on top of that...

Sagara Mayu glanced down.

I saw the back of my foot.

Um...it's okay.

Going out to sea from Po Island is the same as having your own boat.

"Huh?" Mayu Sagara noticed Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha's movements. "They've gone back again."

"Waaah..." Bo Island swallowed the milk tea in her mouth. "So you're just here to put the shopping bags in the car."

The two quietly followed, keeping their distance to observe Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri.

Having finally found subjects to research, Izumi Hashima and Mayu Sagara are not going to give up easily.

"Huh?" Mayu Sagara noticed something was off. "Are they even more in a good mood than before?"

"It seems so," said Bodao Chuhai, observing carefully. "Did you have a good experience buying shoes?"

"Feeling better? It seems like more than that..." Mayu Sagara observed for a while before finally noticing the problem. "Ah! I know!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri's current outfits are simply...

As they passed by the glass shop window facing the street, Eriri, who was holding Kasumigaoka Utaha's arm, glanced at it subconsciously.

She initially noticed the clothes on display, but her gaze was drawn to something else.

Reflection.

The reflections of Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Outerwear in the same color family, similar jeans, sweaters of similar styles, and almost identical sneakers...

"Kasumigaoka Utaha".

"Hmm?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the closet. "Do you like this one? I remember you have a similar one."

Eriri pointed to her reflection in the glass. "Don't you have anything to explain?"

"Explain what?"

Eriri pointed at Kasumigaoka Utaha, then at herself, "Explain why you chose matching outfits for me!"

"Matching outfits?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback, but after observing for a moment, she realized, "Ah... you mean, do we look like we're wearing matching outfits?"

"Isn't it like?"

"It looks more like matching family outfits."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!" Eriri gritted her teeth. "Then I'm Mom!"

“Wake up,” Kasumigaoka Utaha waved her hand, “I look more like a mother.”

“I cook all the meals at home,” Eriri argued, “Of course I’m the mom!”

Kasumigaoka Utaha reminded, "The issue we're discussing now isn't the division of labor, but rather the image."

Eriri stomped her foot angrily, "I don't care! I'm the mother anyway!"

Mayu Sagara and Namishima were initially quite far apart when they noticed the two seemed to be talking to each other, so they secretly moved a little closer.

Then I heard Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri discussing who should be the mother.

The trip to Boi Island was unbelievable; "Have they already progressed to this stage?"

"That's really unexpected." Mayu Sagara was a little confused. "Can't both of them be mothers?"

"The 'mother' here probably refers to their role in the child's education... wait, where did they get their children?"

Mayu Sagara guessed, "Adopt? Or... get a pet or something."

"It doesn't seem like it... wait a minute." Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him, "Could this be a metaphor?"

What does it refer to?

“Mom is the passive party, and Dad is the active party,” said Bodao Chuhai, his face flushed. “It’s a metaphor.”

"It's not about family identity, it's about sexual identity." Mayu Sagara looked at Izumi Hashima. "Are you sure you're not thinking dirty thoughts?"

Going to sea off Po Island: "Not entirely sure..."

“I’m not like Megumi, I don’t know that much about fashion.” Kasumigaoka Utaha pushed the sulking Eriri away from the shop window. The shop assistants had been staring at them for a while. “I’ve only ever picked out clothes for myself. When I’m picking out clothes for you, I’ll inevitably refer to my own style. It’s normal that it’s a bit similar.”

Eriri wasn't so easily convinced. "I feel like you're doing this on purpose."

“You can think of this from the other side,” Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled behind Eriri. “Now that I’ve chosen an outfit that’s very similar to mine, if I choose another one that’s different from yours, then we’ll definitely not end up with matching outfits again—right?”

"Hmm..." Eriri tilted her head, "Are you going to pick out clothes for me?"

"Or you could continue dressed like this, and then we could go explore other places?"

"No way!" Eriri refused decisively. It would have been fine if she hadn't noticed, but now that she's found out she and Kasumigaoka Utaha are wearing matching outfits, Eriri is almost too embarrassed to show her face, let alone wander around.

Unwilling to accept Kasumigaoka Utaha's arrangement, Eriri decided to take matters into her own hands, "I don't need you to choose for me, I'll choose myself!"

“Okay,” Kasumigaoka Utaha readily agreed.

Chapter 923 A Brave Attempt

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora looked at Kobayashi Ran in her arms. "Ranlan, do you want to choose your own clothes?"

Ran Kobayashi was long past the age of needing to be carried, but when I brought Ran Kobayashi to the mall before, I realized that with Ran Kobayashi's height, she couldn't see the dazzling array of goods at all, only a frighteningly tall wall of people.

Since then, whenever there are many people, Kobayashi Sora would hold her daughter in her arms so that she could enjoy shopping.

“Yes.” Xiaolin Lan hugged Xiaolin Kongqing’s neck. “Lanlan is already a big girl of seven years old. She can choose her own clothes.”

Kobayashi Sora tilted her head. "What about Mom's suggestion?"

“I think Lanlan has a point,” Kobayashi Megumi replied with a smile. “Lanlan is a big girl now. She can not only choose her own clothes, but also communicate with the shop assistants and pay for them herself, right?”

"Hmm...right..." Xiaolin Lan was initially full of confidence, but after hearing her mother give her even more tasks, she immediately hesitated. "Right?"

“I think Lanlan should be able to do it.” Kobayashi Sora shook her arm, causing Kobayashi Lan’s cute short hair to sway. “We can give it a try.”

Ran hugged Sora Kobayashi a little tighter. "Hmm... what if Ranran can't do it?"

“If we can’t do that…” Kobayashi Sora gently rubbed her daughter’s nose, “we’ll try another store.”

"What if you still can't do it?"

“There are so many shops here, we can try them one by one,” Xiaolin Hui encouraged. “As long as Lanlan is willing to try, Mom and Dad will always be with you.”

"Mom is so good~" Xiaolin Lan was not as worried as before.

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora asked, "What about Daddy?"

Kobayashi Ran kissed Kobayashi Sora on the cheek. "What's wrong?"

Kobayashi Sora: "...It's nothing."

After finding a relatively quiet area, Kobayashi Sora put Kobayashi Ran down and let her find a shop that interested her on her own.

Ran Kobayashi quickly found her target and cautiously peered inside from the doorway.

A shop assistant noticed the cute little girl at the door, paused for a moment, then looked around and saw Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi waving and greeting her from behind Kobayashi Ran. After confirming that the child was not lost, the assistant gave a proper smile.

Xiaolin Lan carefully observed the store for a while, and only after confirming that there was no danger did she walk into the store with a serious face.

"Welcome!" the shop assistant greeted us with a smile. "What kind of clothes would you like to choose?"

Ran Kobayashi instinctively hid behind Megumi Kobayashi, hugging Megumi's leg and remaining silent.

Kobayashi Sora took out her membership card from her pocket, showed it to the clerk, and silently communicated with her lips, "Please take care of me, I'll come back to top up my card later."

The staff member who helps you top up your membership card will also receive a commission.

The shop assistant's smile became even more genuine, and she knelt down gently to ask, "Are you looking to buy clothes?"

Kobayashi Ran hid behind her for a while before peeking out and nodding gently.
