How to raise a random guy's wife

"No!" Eriri retorted instinctively, then glared fiercely at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Why does this person tell everything to the child?

Besides, that wasn't stealing a kiss!

"Lanlan," Kobayashi Megumi reminded her, "not everyone has the same reason for being shy as Lanlan."

Megumi Kobayashi glanced at Mayu Sagara and Eriri.

Although some people may be.

But that's not entirely true.

“Oh right…” When Kobayashi Ran saw others looking shy and guilty, she thought of how shy she felt when her father caught her kissing her mother. Naturally, she felt that others were the same as her. When she heard Kobayashi Megumi’s words, she realized, “Dad gets shy when his mother kisses him too.”

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

All eyes were on Kobayashi Sora.

Then they casually moved it away.

Well... they've seen this kind of thing too many times.

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi are like that.

Taking this opportunity, Eriri also came to a realization.

He never felt guilty even though Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi were so good at showing off in front of him.

She was just out shopping for clothes with Kasumigaoka Utaha, what was there to be ashamed of?

Besides, unless she says it herself, who would know that the clothes she's wearing were chosen for her by Kasumigaoka Utaha?

Ran Kobayashi stared at Eriri for a long time. "Eri's mom's clothes are so pretty! Did Utaha's mom help you choose them?"

"Gurgle!" Eriri was startled.

Ran Kobayashi's innocent gaze gave her the illusion that she was being seen through.

As expected of Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi's child, she was able to see through the truth at a glance.

How did she do it?

"Well... this..." Eriri wanted to deny it, but she didn't want to lie to the child. "Shiha gave me some suggestions."

That wouldn't be considered lying.

Xiaolin Lan happily opened her arms, "Lanlan chose her own clothes!"

"Huh?" Eriri noticed the adorable, proud expression on Ran Kobayashi's face and realized that Ran Kobayashi hadn't seen through the truth; she just wanted to show off her feat of buying clothes.

It's not that Kobayashi Ran is so skilled that she can see through the truth at a glance.

It's because they feel guilty... Pshaw!

Who's feeling guilty... no, who's done something wrong!

"Ranran is so amazing~" Kasumigaoka Utaha put Ran down and admired her carefully, then reached out to touch the material. "Hmm~ It's warm and easy to move in, and the pink color is so cute. Ranran can already choose her own clothes, that's great~"

“Right?” Ran Kobayashi was even happier.

"Have you all eaten?" Sagara Mayu felt guilty and offered, "I'll treat you to something nice to eat. I just closed a big deal recently."

After shopping all morning, Eriri was actually a little hungry. "No need to treat anyone, everyone can eat together."

"No, no, no..." Mayu Sagara insisted, "I absolutely have to treat you to this meal today. What would you like to eat?"

"How about we go get fast food?" Eriri asked Kobayashi Megumi. "Is Ranran able to eat now?"

Kobayashi Megumi nodded. "Yes, she's a big girl now."

The group went to a fast food restaurant together, and Eriri skillfully ordered a bunch of food, not much different from what she had ordered in the morning.

"You really never get tired of eating," Kasumigaoka Utaha said as she ordered different dishes.

Eriri scoffed, "It's still early~"

Xiaolin Ran looked excitedly at the various foods on the menu, pointing to the ones that interested her and asking her parents, "What's this?"

“This is a pizza,” Kobayashi Megumi replied. “You can put all sorts of toppings on it.”

"Can oranges be used too?"

"Hmm... I don't think we have that."

"What about ice cream?"

"It'll melt if you put it on top," Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "How about we order the orange pudding and ice cream first?"

"Mmm," Xiaolin Lan happily swung her legs, "And this...this...there's so much, I feel like I can't eat it all."

“Dad’s here too,” Kobayashi Sora said. “You can order whatever you want, and Mom and Dad will help you.”

"I want this... this... and this too!"

Eriri rested her chin on her hand as she watched this scene, "This scene feels a little familiar."

“Yes,” Kasumigaoka Utaha felt the same way. “Before Ranran was born, the two of them would order one portion of everything and share it.”

Mayu Sagara looked longingly at the time, thinking, "Ah, those were the sweet, passionate days of our romance~"

“No, no, no,” Eriri waved her hand, “they weren’t officially dating back then.”

Mayu Sagara: "Huh?"

“Mayu,” Hashima Izumi nudged Sagara Mayu, “let’s have this much too.”

Mayu Sagara: "Huh?"

Bo Island pinched his belly as he went out to sea, saying, "I feel like I've gained weight recently."

"Isn't it great?" Mayu Sagara's gaze lingered on Izumi Hashima for a moment. "I heard that when you lose weight, your chest will shrink first, but when you gain weight, your belly will get fat first."

"My breasts will get smaller too!" Bo Island exclaimed with delight as she went out to sea. "That's great!"

Yinglili: "..."

Human joys and sorrows are not shared.

"There's such a saying?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kobayashi Sora. "Really?"

"It's embarrassing for me to answer this kind of question, okay?" Kobayashi Sora said helplessly. "It depends on the person."

"So isn't that an answer already?"

"Since you've asked, I can't just not tell you anything, can I?" Kobayashi Sora tried to be concise. "Fat loss is a systemic process. After you lose weight, the areas with fat will shrink, and the areas with more fat will show more noticeable weight loss."

Chapter 929 Graduation Farewell

"Depending on the type, the percentage of fat varies. Simply put, there are fatty and thymic types, which are further subdivided into four types: A, B, C, and D. A is fatty type, and D is dense type. Everyone's fat content is different, and even for the same person, the fat content changes dynamically at different times," Kobayashi Sora summarized. "Fatty type has a high percentage of fat, so the change after fat loss is relatively large, while thymic type changes relatively little. Regardless of the type, the change will be small."

“It won’t be much smaller…” Bo Island sighed. “A little smaller is better than nothing.”

Eriri: "..." Human joys and sorrows are not shared.

“It’s impressive,” Mayu Sagara shrank back, “How did you know that?”

“I changed a lot during my pregnancy,” Kobayashi Megumi chuckled, “so Sora Ao did some research on it.”

Eriri leaned forward. "You've been studying it?"

"I did some research on the relevant information," Kobayashi Sora added.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri, "Can you control yourself?"

Eriri: "...Mind your own business!"

Just after ordering her food, Sagara Mayu's phone vibrated slightly. She turned on the screen and saw a notification. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately clicked on the notification.

Then the light in his eyes went out.

"Mayu?" Hashima Izumi noticed the change in Mayu Sagara's mood. "What's wrong?"

"...I tweeted my graduation notice." Mayu Sagara typed a long comment, hesitated, then deleted it all, finally posting only one sentence:

Thank you, and best wishes for a bright future.

“Graduation…” Izumi thought for a moment, “I remember it means ceasing activities, right?”

“Hmm.” Mayu Sagara nodded dejectedly. “Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. I can be said to be one of the earliest VTubers. We even had a reboot before. I thought things would get better and better. Who would have thought that we would graduate soon?”

"Six years...restart..." Kobayashi Sora matched the information in her mind, "It's her, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Is there some hidden story?" Mayu Sagara pressed. "Have you encountered some kind of problem or something?"

If there are any real problems, perhaps she can help solve them.

“You know this too…” Kobayashi Sora shook her head, “There’s no hidden reason, it’s just that her popularity is low. The VTuber industry is developing rapidly, and even pioneers can fall behind the times. Groups like Ghost Castle, which focus on advanced technology, are okay, but for people like her, once their popularity drops, graduation is the only option left.”

Sagara Mayu bit her lower lip.

Yes, she knew very well.

Over the years, their popularity plummeted from the top to the bottom. Even though the team struggled to save themselves, the results were minimal and there was no improvement.

Rather than continuing to waste time, it would be better to either return to real life or adopt a different identity online than to be in the current state.

This is also what Mayu Sagara is most unwilling to accept.

Even though you haven't done anything wrong, you're no longer liked. No matter how hard you try, you can't escape your ultimate fate.

The torrent of time rushes by, bringing the final outcome with nonchalance.

Mayu Sagara knew this day would come and was prepared for it.

But when that day actually came, it was still like a heavy blow, leaving me at a loss.

“I know she just stopped her VTuber activities, but for me, it feels like a separation of life and death.” Mayu Sagara stared at her phone. “The person who spent so much time with me and brought me so much joy is no longer here.”

"Mom..." Ran tugged at Megumi's sleeve, "What do you mean 'gone'?"

“Hmm…” Kobayashi Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora, and after noticing Sora’s somewhat helpless look, she looked at Kobayashi Ran and answered seriously, “It’s just that that person is going to another place to do other things, and we won’t be able to see him for a very long time.”

"I see..." Ran Kobayashi blinked and gave Mayu Sagara a big smile. "Then when we meet again, I must give her a big hug, and then we'll go eat lots of delicious food and go to lots of fun places together!"

Sagara Mayu paused for a moment, then a relieved smile appeared on her face. "Yeah, when we meet again, we should definitely give each other a big hug."
