How to raise a random guy's wife

Dinner was served quickly, and the familiar taste brought Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri back to their high school days.

After dinner, Eriri played with Ran Kobayashi for a long time. Once Ran Kobayashi went to bed on time, Eriri could no longer contain her curiosity and asked, "Kong Qing, how are things at the company?"

"It's alright," Kobayashi Sora replied. "Don't worry."

“We’ve never been worried. Kasumigaoka Eri has been around for almost ten years, and we know your capabilities.” Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her legs. “The matter will eventually be resolved; it’s just a matter of time. Most of the work is currently on hold. When do you plan to make your move? Eriri and I can then arrange our vacation time.”

"I've already taken action."

"Huh?" Eriri's eyes widened. "Already?"

"Yes, the matter is over. The rest is the wrap-up stage. There will be some personnel changes afterward, but they are minor."

"I thought it would take longer," Kobayashi Megumi said, also surprised.

"That was my original plan, but I didn't expect to receive some help." Kobayashi Sora briefly described what happened today. "Initially, I wanted to discuss cooperation with Ghost Castle, but it was all settled in one go."

"It seems my vacation will have to be put on hold." Kasumigaoka Utaha had a new understanding of Kobayashi Sora's abilities.

“There’s no need to pause. If there’s a plan, just execute it.” Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. “Your projects are going very smoothly, especially Eriri’s. She’s progressing much faster than Kobayashi Sora’s plan.”

"Where are you planning to go? I can help you decide." Kobayashi Sora suddenly thought of a possibility. "Of course, if you're going to visit your parents, then you don't need me to cause trouble."

"Huh?" Eriri was stunned.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression also froze.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head, "I mean... you two haven't officially met each other's parents yet, have you?"

“I met…her mother.” Kasumigaoka Utaha finally remembered why she hadn’t formally met her parents yet. “My aunt said she would tell my uncle about our relationship…so this matter was delayed.”

“I see.” Kobayashi Sora guessed Sawamura Sayuri’s concerns. After all, Leonard often borrowed games from him, and Kobayashi Sora knew about his preferences. “My brother is a yuri fan. If you tell him directly, he’ll probably keep asking questions.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri both looked at Kobayashi Sora with obvious hostility.

Both of them have fallen out of the seniority ranking.

Kobayashi Megumi pinched Kobayashi Sora, "You~"

“Well…” Eriri tugged at Kasumigaoka Utaha’s sleeve, “Well… it’s too late today, how about tomorrow? I’ll call my mom and arrange a time.”

"How about we go to my place first?" Kasumigaoka Utaha suggested. "I haven't told them about this yet."

Eriri bristled, "What? You still haven't said anything?"

“Yes,” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, “because I’ve been quite busy lately.”

Eriri demanded, "What are you busy doing?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha watched her silently.

Eriri blushed.

“No…no…” Eriri shook her head forcefully. “Then you go back by yourself. I’m not going with you.”

Chapter 971 Witnessing it firsthand

Kasumigaoka Utaha unconsciously twirled Eriri's hair with her fingers. "What would I do if I went back by myself?"

Eriri didn't seem to notice Kasumigaoka Utaha's little actions either. "You haven't told them anything yet, so what am I supposed to do there?"

"Hmm...give them a surprise?"

"It's clearly a fright!" Eriri turned her head away. "Anyway, I'm not going. If you want to go, you go yourself."

Kobayashi Sora silently got up and brought Kobayashi Megumi a bottle of Ramune soda. Kobayashi Megumi also skillfully brought out some snacks.

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head to observe Eriri's face, which was turned to the side. "I say, are you scared?"

"Who...who would be afraid! I..." Eriri continued to turn her head away, avoiding Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze, "I just..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned and approached, the two almost entangled. "But what?"

Eriri pursed her cherry lips slightly, "What if they don't agree? Then I won't know whether to leave or stay..."

“They probably won’t disagree.” Kasumigaoka Utaha remembered her mother telling her before, “My mother once told me that even if I can’t bring back a boyfriend, I can bring back a girl.”

“Look, they still want you to bring a boyfriend home, don’t they?” Eriri nudged Kasumigaoka Utaha. “The ‘okay’ option means it’s a second-best choice, and they’re obviously just saying it. Who knows how they’ll react if you actually bring a girlfriend home.”

Kobayashi Sora, munching on potato chips, looked at Kobayashi Megumi beside her: When did Eriri become so smart?

Kobayashi Megumi ate the potato chip he offered her: Eriri has always been very smart~

Kobayashi Sora tilted her head: Really?

Kobayashi Megumi's eyes flickered slightly: How do you think those touching paintings were created?

Kobayashi Sora frowned slightly: But that's a work of art, Eriri in real life is a completely different person.

Kobayashi Megumi chuckled: That's because Eriri is facing us. We all know her personality and temperament, so she doesn't need to think so much.

Kobayashi Sora's mouth opened slightly: So Eriri isn't incapable of thinking, she just puts more thought into her work.

Kobayashi Megumi nodded gently: When it comes to important life events, you can't be lazy.

“Hmm…” Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment, “What you said is actually quite possible.”

"Right~" Eriri has also picked up Ran Kobayashi's catchphrase.

“That’s settled then,” Kasumigaoka Utaha suggested. “I’ll go back first and tell them I have a girlfriend and want to bring her back so they can meet her.”

Eriri was a little uneasy. "What if they don't agree?"

"Then I'll come back and tell you that they've agreed."

"Huh?" Eriri was taken aback. "What if they agree?"

"Then I'll come back and tell you that they've agreed."

"Wait...didn't I just hear that answer once already?" Eriri twisted her body in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha. "Then why did you go back? Couldn't you have just told me they agreed?"

“Oh right.” Kasumigaoka Utaha had a look of sudden realization on her face.

"That's not right!"

“There’s nothing wrong with it. Whether they agree or disagree won’t change our relationship.” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s attitude was firm. “Anyway, I won’t change my own decision because of their opinions.”

"It's not a question of whether or not to change the decision, but rather..." Eriri couldn't quite put her finger on it.

The group was in the study, which was quite a distance from Kobayashi Ran's room, and the soundproofing was excellent, so there was no need to worry about disturbing her.

Kobayashi Sora looked at Kobayashi Megumi with a thirst for knowledge.

Megumi Kobayashi took out a potato chip and placed it on the table. She touched her two index fingers together, then crushed the chip with her delicate fingertips. Her fingertips, still covered in chip crumbs, touched each other again.

Grabbing Kobayashi Megumi's wrist and eating the potato chip crumbs from her fingertips, Kobayashi Sora understood.

Kobayashi Megumi meant that although Kasumigaoka Utaha wouldn't separate from Eriri because of her parents' wishes, if Kasumigaoka Utaha's parents disagreed, then Eriri, who was with Kasumigaoka Utaha, would become the reason for the breakdown of Kasumigaoka Utaha's relationship with her parents, and such an outcome would also cast a shadow over the two's relationship.

Thinking about it this way, it really is a difficult problem.

Kobayashi Megumi blushed and, half as punishment and half as reward, rubbed his lips.

“I have another idea,” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s eyes lit up. “I’ll tell them I found a girlfriend.”

Eriri: "Is there any difference between this and before?"

"If they disagree, I'll make them hear what I have to say." Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled slightly. "I found a girlfriend, but she has a terrible temper and a awful personality. She beats me up every now and then and constantly interferes with my work..."

"Wouldn't that make them even more opposed?"

“The key is the contrast. The more outrageous I go, the more they object,” Kasumigaoka Utaha cautioned. “Once I tell them that the rest of the description is false, they feel that gender isn’t a big problem.”

“Ah…that’s indeed a good idea.” Eriri paused. “But aren’t all the descriptions after that true?”

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Eh?"

"He has a bad temper, a terrible personality, and he even hits you. He also often drags you to play games, which interferes with your work..." Eriri became more and more aggrieved as she spoke.

"That's not what I meant. I was just giving an example..."

"Then why didn't you think of other examples?" Eriri snapped. "Is it because that's what you meant?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "......"

Ah... it's here.

The legendary troublesome girlfriend.

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi exchanged a glance.

It's troublesome for my girlfriend.

"You two, stop watching the show! I've been putting up with you for too long!" Kasumigaoka Utaha glared at her, holding the pitiful Eriri in her arms. "Think of something quick."

Eriri tried to break free from her embrace and punched her chest with her little fists, but after punching twice, she remembered Kasumigaoka Utaha's description and immediately stopped.

Then I felt unwilling to accept it.

Then hammer.

She was held tightly in Kasumigaoka Utaha's arms and couldn't exert any strength.

It turned into a pinch.

Kobayashi Sora witnessed this scene and, seeing the blush on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face, wondered, "Should we really speak in this situation?"

Kobayashi Megumi couldn't hide the smile on her lips. "Let's talk about it after you're done."

Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora finally witnessed firsthand how Eriri fought Kasumigaoka Utaha.

This kind of fighting... often happens between Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi.

Chapter 972 Seriously

Only after Eriri realized something was wrong and stopped did the previous conversation resume.

Kasumigaoka Utaha straightened her clothes. "So what did you guys do back then?"

“This…” The scene from that day flashed through Kobayashi Sora’s mind.

He chased after Kobayashi Megumi, wanting a kiss, and followed her all the way into the living room. Just as he lowered his head to get close to Kobayashi Megumi's rosy cheeks... Kobayashi Megumi's mother turned on the light.

Less than a minute after the two confirmed their relationship, Kobayashi Sora met his future in-laws.
