How to raise a random guy's wife

“This is different, completely different,” Eriri protested. “I draw inspiration from them, which is completely different from what you do.”

Chapter 947 This is Punishment

“Isn’t this exactly the same?” Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t feel there was any difference. “I also got my inspiration from them.”

“Getting creative inspiration is different from… that kind of inspiration,” Eriri corrected. “It can’t be generalized.”

Why can't we generalize?

"How can you generalize like that!" Eriri said, feeling increasingly aggrieved. "I draw inspiration from them, and the manga I create is based on true stories. If you're just repeating their words, then that's hypocrisy!"

"Repeat?" Kasumigaoka Utaha discovered the blind spot. "You think they taught me every single word I said?"

"You just admitted it yourself!"

“I admit that they did teach me some very useful things,” Kasumigaoka Utaha looked into Eriri’s eyes, “but what I said to you was all from the bottom of my heart.”

Eriri blinked, her expression softening slightly. "Didn't they teach you those things?"

"It's impossible, isn't it? Even if they could teach me how to say it, how could they possibly guess your reaction?" Kasumigaoka Utaha paused, "Hmm, it seems like it might actually be possible."

Eriri silently turned to look at Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi.

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi, who were eating potato chips, both made a sound of confusion, then looked at each other and turned to look at Kasumigaoka Utaha. "Huh?"

These two people look like the same person.

The range of motion is about the same.

Wait... why are they eating now?

They were eating and drinking as if they were watching a good show.

Kobayashi Sora cleared her throat lightly, "Uncle, it's me..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri exclaimed in unison, "Whose uncle are you?!"

Kobayashi Sora: "Whoever reacts the most gets the prize."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms over her chest, her gaze unfriendly.

Eriri grinded her little white teeth; she was about to bite.

"Don't think of us as so amazing," Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "Even we couldn't possibly guess someone's every reaction."

"And think about it yourself," Kobayashi Sora reminded her, "Even if we teach her, given Shiyu's personality, will she learn? When it comes to matters of the heart, she always makes her own decisions."

"...My life's most important matter..." Eriri blushed, thinking that it made sense, but she still stubbornly insisted, "Then...what did you learn from them?"

"I've learned this." Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head and gently kissed Eriri's lips. "To express love in a simple and direct way."

"You..." Eriri panicked. This was in front of Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora. How could Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly kiss her like that?

"What's the panic?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked calmly. "Haven't you seen enough of them kissing?"

That's true... Eriri feels her face isn't as hot anymore.

“By the way,” Kasumigaoka Utaha whispered in her ear, “Don’t you want to get revenge on them this time?”

"Revenge?" Eriri glanced at Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi. "How do you plan to get revenge?"

"They've been showing off so much affection before, don't you want to show it back?"

"Eh?"

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi looked on with a sense of helplessness.

How could these two be plotting in front of each other?

“Let them experience what we felt back then…” Kasumigaoka Utaha approached again, “just like we felt before.”

"Hmm..." Eriri vaguely felt that something was wrong, but when she remembered how she felt when she saw Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi kissing, she thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha's words made a lot of sense.

So their lips touched again, Eriri's long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Even with her eyes closed, Eriri could feel Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi's gazes.

Being watched...

Eriri's face grew increasingly red.

The feeling of kissing alone with someone is completely different from being watched by others.

It seems... even more exciting now.

Eriri suppressed her embarrassment. Even if she was shy, she wanted Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi to experience what she felt back then... Huh?

That's not right.

Eriri suddenly realized.

When she saw Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi kissing, she had all sorts of feelings, which ultimately came down to the fact that she was single at the time.

But now Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi's child is so big.

Even if I saw her kissing Kasumigaoka Utaha, I wouldn't feel the same way I did with Kasumigaoka Utaha back then.

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't possibly have been unaware of this.

so......

Their lips parted, and Eriri, embarrassed and angry, clenched her little fists and punched Kasumigaoka Utaha, "You just wanted to trick me into kissing you, didn't you!"

"Huh? You found out so quickly?"

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha put on a stern face. "Alright, this is punishment."

Eriri was taken aback. "Punishment?"

“It was you who doubted my punishment,” Kasumigaoka Utaha pointed out. “I said so many things from the bottom of my heart, yet you doubted that I was just repeating what they said. Of course I have to punish you.”

"This...that..." Eriri guiltily looked away, "It's not entirely my fault..."

"Is it my fault?"

“Yeah, who told you… um…” Eriri’s bright blue eyes darted around, clearly trying to come up with a story. “Who told you to like me so much? Right, there were no signs before, and then you suddenly said those things. Anyone would be suspicious.” She became more and more illogical and assertive as she spoke. “It’s all your fault for liking me too much and hiding it so well.”

"You really dare to say that~" Kasumigaoka Utaha was so angry that she laughed, pinching Eriri's red cheeks, "You can even make up such an excuse to avoid responsibility."

"Let go!" Eriri slapped Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand away. "You've been dishonest ever since that day. You're always taking advantage of me for no reason!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha scoffed, "I wonder who was making unwanted advances in the middle of the night."

"Hey!" Eriri pounced on Kasumigaoka Utaha and covered her mouth. "Why do you tell everyone everything?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back, "Pretending to be asleep while sneaking around..."

"Shut up!" Eriri threw herself into Kasumigaoka Utaha's arms, frantically trying to make her stop.

Kobayashi Sora silently looked away; it was better for him not to stare at the two girls rolling around on the sofa.

Utaha and Eriri from Kasumigaoka used to bicker a lot.

Even after they officially became a couple, they still argued and bickered.

They even started touching him inappropriately.

However, whether they were arguing just now or playing around now, the two of them deliberately kept their voices down to avoid disturbing Xiaolin Lan who was taking a nap.

Chapter 948 Blue Warm Bath

"Meow~"

The soft, delicate voice of Nian Gao, which was far beyond her size, rang out, followed by the sound of a doorknob, and finally the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

A cat's footsteps can sometimes be so light that even a mouse can't hear them, and other times they can be so heavy that it feels like it's slamming onto the ground.

Knock knock knock.

Hearing this series of sounds, I knew that Kobayashi Ran had woken up.

"Mommy~" Lin Lan followed Nian Gao out, her already adorable voice even softer and sweeter because she had just woken up, "Lan Lan is awake..."

"Lanlan~" Kobayashi Megumi walked to Lanlan's side, picked her up, and asked, "Look who's here?"

"Ugh..." Ran rubbed her eyes. "Good morning, Shiho-chan... and Eriri-chan too! Mmm~"

Eriri: "......" She arrived before Ran Kobayashi's afternoon nap and played with Ran Kobayashi for quite a while.

It seems that Kobayashi Ran was still half asleep and forgot.

"Let me hug you." Kasumigaoka Utaha reached out and took Kobayashi Ran from Kobayashi Megumi's arms. The little girl was sleepy and cute, and she leaned softly against Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat on the sofa, using one hand to tidy up Kobayashi Ran's messy hair.

Eriri watched this scene. Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was holding the child, was completely devoid of her usual harshness. Even her usually cold red eyes were now filled with warm tenderness.

I feel... she'd be a good mother.

"Sniff sniff~" Kasumigaoka Utaha sniffed Kobayashi Ran's face with the tip of her nose, "Mmm~ It smells so nice."

"It's so itchy~" Xiaolin Lan woke up a bit and showed a sweet smile.

Kobayashi Sora skillfully prepared coffee for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

The atmosphere just now was really not suitable for making coffee, and even though Kobayashi Sora made it, Kasumigaoka Utaha wasn't in the mood to drink it.

Eriri's misunderstanding of Kasumigaoka Utaha is cleared up, and the Kobayashi family returns to its previous state.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri play with Kobayashi Ran, while Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi work and do housework.

“Oh, right,” Kasumigaoka Utaha remembered something, “Megumi, where can I buy that hot spring powder from before?”

"Hot spring powder?"

Kobayashi Sora searched her memory, "The one from Blue Bathhouse?"

"I think that's the name... I can't quite remember." Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head. "I don't have your memory. Megumi gave it to me a long time ago. My skin's been a bit dry these past few days, so I thought I'd try it. But..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her gaze to Eriri, "only to find that it had already been used up."

"What do you mean 'given to you'? That was given to us by Megumi," Eriri corrected. "You never used it, so I used two... three extra bags?"
