How to raise a random guy's wife

Just this moment...

Eriri opened her eyes and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing right next to her.

Is it a bit too long?

boo~

Eriri weakly pushed Kasumigaoka Utaha away, "You...you...you better stop this!"

Eriri's cheeks flushed.

Ah... it's turned into this again.

That's not what I really wanted to say.

But... it turned into these kinds of words as soon as I opened my mouth.

“You’re right, I should really stop.” A strand of hair fell beside Kasumigaoka Utaha’s ear. “Now you’ve kissed me five times, and I’ve kissed you four times. We still need one more.”

"Huh?" Eriri's eyes showed obvious confusion. Wasn't it just now... no, when Kasumigaoka Utaha kissed her, she was kissing her too, so... "Ugh!"

Eriri made a faint sound, and her flustered mouth was sealed shut once again.

In that case... wouldn't it never end?

Just like life that has continued from the past to the present.

This will continue into the future.

Longer than a kiss.

It was just the beginning of the night... not really.

"Get out!" Eriri, clutching the blanket at the head of the bed, pointed sternly at the bedroom door.

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head. "Should I go out again?"

"if not?"

"Hmm..." Kasumigaoka Utaha suggested, "Shall we begin the next phase?"

"Don't even think about it!" Eriri blushed.

"But judging from your expression, it seems like you're already thinking about it."

"Get out!" Eriri threw her pillow at Kasumigaoka Utaha. "I...I need to calm down."

“Okay.” Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up. “You can ask me for help when your hands get tired.”

"Who needs your help!"

After leaving Eriri's room, she closed the door behind her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had only taken one step when she felt as if she were walking on cotton.

With her body limp against the wall, Kasumigaoka Utaha clutched her chest and tried to take deep breaths.

They kissed.

twice.

She didn't appear as calm as she seemed.

Just as Eriri guessed.

As the passive party, Kasumigaoka Utaha was even more flustered than Eriri.

Was that kiss in the car a spur-of-the-moment decision, or a carefully considered one...?

Kasumigaoka Utaha wants to know the answer, yet she is also afraid to know it.

But she is more afraid of the unknown uncertainty.

So, mustering up her courage, she made up a random excuse and went into Eriri's room.

Utaha Kasumigaoka wanted to find out exactly what Eriri was thinking when she did that.

Let me confirm again.

My heart was beating incredibly fast.

Kasumigaoka Utaha fully understands Eriri's request.

Kasumigaoka Utaha herself wanted to calm down.

Take a moment to calm down.

Judging from the current outcome, this date was a huge success.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha's initial plan was simply to find an excuse to take Eriri out to relax.

She's really the kind of person who's very innocent.

Unexpectedly...

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally understood Kobayashi Sora's choice.

A well-executed plan can indeed bring a sense of satisfaction.

But the unexpected developments brought a heart-pounding joy.

The former reflects one's own strength.

The latter represents the culmination of their relationship.

Success alone is not the same as the joy of being together.

As her strength gradually returned, Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri's door and went back to her room.

What will tomorrow be like?

-

"What? Eriri ran away?!"

Chapter 935 Blatant

“I didn’t see her this morning, so I thought she had come to the company.” Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back on the sofa. “But she wasn’t here… so she must have run away.”

“I didn’t see her this morning,” Kobayashi Sora said, turning to Kobayashi Megumi in the office. “I thought she was working from home today.”

Megumi Kobayashi turned on her phone but found no messages or emails from Eriri. "Did you call her?"

“No one answered.” Kasumigaoka Utaha had of course tried. “If he’s not at home or at the office… then there’s only one place left.”

"I'll check," Kobayashi Sora searched his mind for relevant contacts, "just in case."

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. "I thought you could find out just by looking at your phone."

“I’m not a stalker, I just have a lot of connections.” Kobayashi Sora turned her gaze to Kobayashi Megumi. “I’ll look for the road over there. It will probably take some time to determine her driving route.”

Kobayashi Megumi nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. You can leave this to me."

Kobayashi Sora understood and pushed open the door to go out.

"So..." Kobayashi Megumi stood up, walked around the desk, and came to Kasumigaoka Utaha's side, sitting down on the sofa with her. "What exactly happened?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but you found out way too quickly." Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. "How did you find out?"

"Hmm...it's not as complicated as you think," Kobayashi Megumi replied. "If Eriri disappeared without a trace, she would definitely call us immediately instead of coming to the company to look for her."

“That’s true.” Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

"You said she ran away, so there must be something she doesn't want to face, and she doesn't know what to do." Kobayashi Megumi blinked. "Just like you are now."

"I......"

"You know why she left, and you know where she went, yet you're still here." Kobayashi Megumi paused. "Your relationship has changed. Did you do something?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "...The progress bar in your mind is running a little too fast."

"The child is seven years old already." Kobayashi Megumi shook her finger. "If you haven't done it... a kiss?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "......"

Kobayashi Megumi is as frighteningly perceptive as ever.

Kasumigaoka Utaha always believed that there was a reason why Kobayashi Megumi was so troubled.

After getting together with Kobayashi Sora, Kobayashi Megumi gradually began to express her own thoughts.

Then everyone suddenly realized that she knew all along.

Thinking back to when Kobayashi Megumi was quiet... it's scary.

Kobayashi Megumi glanced at her phone screen, tapped twice, and said, "Kora said she found Eriri's driving route. Do you want to go?"

"If I wanted to go there, I would have gone there already." Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her leg irritably. "I want to drink coffee."

"Your coffee." Kobayashi Sora walked into the office and handed Kasumigaoka Utaha a freshly brewed coffee.

Kobayashi Megumi's lips curled slightly, while Kobayashi Sora leaned back slightly.

Megumi Kobayashi nodded and gestured with her chin toward Utaha Kasumigaoka.

Kobayashi Sora narrowed his eyes slightly and shrugged.

“I said…” Kasumigaoka Utaha took a small sip of her coffee, finally calming down a bit, “Could you two stop flirting so blatantly?”

Kobayashi Sora tilted her head. "Is it that obvious?"

"It couldn't be any clearer." Kasumigaoka Utaha could understand what they meant.

Megumi Kobayashi: They kissed.

Kobayashi Sora: Really?

Megumi Kobayashi: Really, so now she doesn't know what to do.

Kobayashi Sora: I can't help with this kind of thing.

Having spent so much time with Kasumigaoka Utaha and the Kobayashi couple, they've witnessed this kind of flirtatious exchange many times.

Practice makes perfect.

Moreover, this incident is also related to Kasumigaoka Utaha herself.
