How to raise a random guy's wife

......

After an awkward silence, Poshima Izumi revealed the truth: "It's not very interesting."

“Yeah…” Mayu Sagara said, somewhat unwilling to believe it. “Wow! Have I already reached the age where I don’t get excited at all when coming to a hot spring hotel?”

“I don’t think it has much to do with age…” Bo Island pondered seriously. “Was it too deliberate? Or would a more natural reaction be better?”

“Even if you say that…” Sagara Mayu’s eyes shifted, and she suddenly lunged towards the sea off Hashima Island.

"Huh?" Hashima caught Mayu Sagara instinctively as she left the water. "Wh...what's wrong?"

"Do you feel it now?"

"It seems..." Hashima Izumi looked at Sagara Mayu in her arms. The two were about the same height, but because of their position, Sagara Mayu appeared shorter, leaning slightly against her and tilting her head up, looking playful and cute. "It seems... I'm starting to feel something..."

"Huh?" Mayu Sagara's arm groped to wrap around Hashima Chui's waist. "She's so big, yet her waist is so thin. I'm so envious~"

“Yours is definitely thinner,” sighed Boshima. “And I think I’ve gained a little weight.”

"Aren't you on a diet?"

“Hmm~” Speaking of going to sea from Po Island, she felt a little aggrieved. “I’ve been eating a low-fat diet and sticking to a low-carb diet for a while, but I always feel like life is meaningless... One night I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I made a lot of delicious food in the middle of the night, and ever since then I’ve felt hungry at that time every time.”

"Dieting can only be a supplement; exercise is also very important."

"I'm not good at sports... or rather, I don't like them."

"Huh? Why?"

Bo Island pursed her lips as she went out to sea. "It will hurt."

"It will hurt...? Ah~" Mayu Sagara glanced down slightly and immediately understood what Hashima meant by "it will hurt" when he said it. "Is this a happy trouble?"

“It’s a heavy burden,” sighed Boshima Izumi. “If I exercise even slightly, I get… so I can’t do most sports.”

"There's still some left. By the way, doesn't Hui know yoga? Maybe it will be helpful for you."

"I've tried, it's so hard to maintain balance."

"Is it difficult...? Oh~" Mayu Sagara imagined it for a moment, and thought that if she added weights to her chest, she would probably have a hard time maintaining her balance. "Thinking about it, you must have a really tough time."

"I can't tell anyone yet...it would be like showing off."

Mayu Sagara looked at herself and said, "If I didn't know you, I would also feel like you're showing off."

"So, it's not a happy kind of trouble, it's just a trouble."

"Thinking about it that way," Mayu Sagara looked up, "it's truly magnificent."

"Why do you say that?"

"Think about it, this has brought you trouble, but it has brought me a wonderful experience. Isn't this selflessness great?"

"Beautiful...wonderful?"

"Like this." Mayu Sagara lowered her head and buried herself in it. "Utter bliss~"

"No..." Bo Island's ears turned red.

"Is that not okay?" Mayu Sagara looked up. "Then let's stop the simulation here for today?"

Oh right, it was a simulation.

Suddenly, Hashima realized that not only herself, but also Mayu Sagara, who had done this, must have felt very embarrassed, but she had endured it for her own sake.

We cannot let down Mayu Sagara's efforts.

As she sailed out to sea from Po Island, she bit her lower lip, "No...don't stop..."

Sagara Mayu felt a strong sense of guilt.

But... this experience was just too wonderful.

So be it, it's a crime.

"Can you feel it now?"

"Hmm~" Bo Island's voice floated lightly as she left the sea, "It seems...it seems like there's some."

"Is creative inspiration about to burst forth?"

"Almost...almost there..." Bo Shima pursed his lips.

If this continues, it seems that her creative inspiration is moving closer to the style of Eri Kashiwagi's early works.

"Meow~ Meow~" the rice cake kept protesting.

"Good boy, Nian Gao~" Kobayashi Sora used a hairdryer to dry Nian Gao's fur. "It'll be done soon."

Since it was her own hotel, Kobayashi Sora immediately agreed when Kobayashi Ran suggested bringing rice cakes.

Surprisingly, Nian Gao, who is usually reluctant to take a bath, seemed to enjoy soaking in the hot spring quite a bit, and even swam around in the hot spring twice.

"Meow~ Meow~" Nian Gao responded in a delicate voice.

"Mmm, almost there, almost there," Kobayashi Sora said, as if coaxing a child. "Just a little longer."

"Meow!"

Kobayashi Sora sighed helplessly, "Why are they even shouting now...?"

"Good girl, Nian Gao~" Kobayashi Ran, who had dried her hair and changed into a yukata, came to Nian Gao's side and held Nian Gao's big paw. "If you shout while drying your hair, you'll eat the wind."

"Meow?" Rice Cake's voice was noticeably softer.

"After the rice cake dries..." Ran Kobayashi turned to Megumi Kobayashi and asked, "Mommy, can we feed the rice cake a cat treat later?"

Kobayashi Megumi, who was drying her hair, turned her head and said, "Okay."

"There will be cat treats later!" Ran Kobayashi encouraged Nian Gao, "Just hang in there a little longer~"

"Meow~"

Kobayashi Sora picked up the rice cake and blew on its belly fur, saying that it was a bit difficult to pick it up, as the rice cake was already over a meter long. Kobayashi Sora, who was sitting on the tatami, could only help the rice cake stand up.

"Dad~" Lin Lan reached out her hand, "I'll help you."

"Okay." Kobayashi Sora handed the hair dryer to Kobayashi Ran and stretched the rice cake with both hands.

Ran Kobayashi held the hairdryer, carefully keeping her distance, and gently stroked the baby's belly as she blew, making the soft fur on the baby's belly fluffy.

"The cats on TV shrink when they get wet," Ran Kobayashi exclaimed. "But the rice cake didn't shrink much, that's amazing!"

"Meow!"

Chapter 951 Conditioned Reflexes

Hearing the rice cake's voice, Ran Kobayashi patted its belly and said, "Rice cake, don't be proud!"

Kobayashi Sora felt that the mochi was more like a protest than a sign of pride.

My gaze passed over the fluffy ears of the rice cake and landed on Kobayashi Megumi, whose hair had just been dried.

I saw a similar feeling in her eyes.

Their eyes met, and they both smiled.

Because of the movement of handling the hairdryer, Kobayashi Megumi's yukata loosened a little, and the collar slipped off her fair shoulders as if it hadn't experienced any friction.

Kobayashi Sora's gaze involuntarily drifted to the side.

Kobayashi Megumi reached out and grabbed his collar, her pink cheeks puffed out slightly, and gave him a disgruntled look.

Kobayashi Sora stared intently, completely unfazed.

Kobayashi Megumi gently bit her lower lip as she carefully adjusted her yukata under his gaze.

The rice cake has big, fluffy paws that wag around.

Cat food, I want to eat cat food.

I can't wait any longer, I want to eat now.

It's become a conditioned reflex.

The smell of dog food makes me want to eat cat food.

I can't not eat it.

Kobayashi Sora seems to know why mochi is so fat now.

Both Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi share responsibility for the weight issue with the rice cake.

"All done~" Xiaolin Lan rubbed Nian Gao's belly and handed the hair dryer to Xiaolin Kongqing, "Daddy, here you go."

"Thank you, baby, you've worked so hard." Kobayashi Sora patted the rice cake to make sure no spot was missed before letting go.

Nian Gao landed with a swift, tiger-like leap, then darted to the luggage, pressing down on it and meowing.

"Alright, alright." After tidying up her yukata, Kobayashi Megumi poured some cat food for Nian Gao and opened a can of cat food as a reward for Nian Gao's excellent performance during the bath. "Eat up, eat up."

The rice cake ate its cat food heartily, feeling a sense of satisfaction both physically and mentally.

Little Lin Lan drank a bottle of milk to replenish her fluids, and said, "Mommy, Mommy~ Let's go find the aunties and godmothers to play together!"

"Not yet," said Kobayashi Megumi, holding her daughter in her arms. "We have to wait until they've finished soaking in the hot spring."

"When will they finish soaking?"

-

After soaking in the hot spring, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt refreshed. After drying her hair, she drank some cold milk and looked at Eriri. "What's wrong?"

"Stare—" Eriri said, drying her hair while staring at Kasumigaoka Utaha. "What? What's wrong?"

"You've been staring at me the whole time." Kasumigaoka Utaha gazed at Eriri's flowing blonde hair, finding each strand pleasing to the eye. "What's wrong?"

Why are you so calm?

"Aren't you also very calm?"

"I...I'm calm...very calm..." Eriri was far from calm.

This was their first hot spring trip together after they officially became a couple.
