How to raise a random guy's wife

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi walked into the room together.

The two of them worked together to move Akane Akasaka to the sofa.

The cleaning staff made the beds, swept the floor, and then left politely.

"I just did this and that..." Kobayashi Sora briefly recounted her thought process, "If I had known, I would have called the cleaner for help earlier."

Kato Megumi tilted her head, recalling everything her sister had just said.

Wow... they all match up?!

"Um..." Kobayashi Sora looked at Kato Megumi, "Could you do me a favor?"

"how?"

Kobayashi Sora pointed to Akane Akasaka's collar; although there wasn't much, there was some staining her clothes, as well as her chest area. "It's not convenient for me to do anything."

"Hmm," Kato Megumi said curiously, "what if I weren't there?"

"Then we'll have to ask the hotel's female staff for help."

“Then go out for a bit,” Kato Megumi nodded. “I’ll call you when I’m done.”

Kobayashi Sora stood guard at the door, waiting for Kato Megumi to handle the situation.

Inside the room, Kato Megumi dampened a towel, intending to wipe away the marks on Akane's body. Just as she touched Akane's body, her wrist was grabbed by Akane's hand.

"Hmm?" Akane Akasaka opened her eyes with difficulty. "You are... not like a hotel employee."

“I’m Kobayashi Sora’s friend,” Kato Megumi explained. “You’re dirty.”

"Uh..." Akane Akasaka hiccuped, looked down blearily through her drunken eyes, then released Megumi Kato and casually took off her clothes. "I don't want it anymore..." She took Megumi Kato's towel and wiped herself haphazardly a few times. "Huh? Where's Sora?"

You just remembered...

Kato Megumi pointed outside the door.

"Oh... thank you." Akane Akasaka put her hands behind her back, unhooked the bra, and casually threw it out. Under Megumi Kato's somewhat dazed gaze, she staggered into the bathroom, quickly rinsed herself off, and came out wrapped in a towel before collapsing onto the bed.

"Whoo~~~"

Ah... Kato Megumi is a little confused.

After thinking for a moment, he gathered up Akane's clothes that she had taken off, covered her with a blanket, and checked that there were no problems before opening the door.

Kobayashi Sora stood at the door.

and Hiromi Kato.

Kato Megumi went out to make a phone call, but there was no response for a while, so Kato Hiromi naturally had to come out and check.

Then I saw Kobayashi Sora standing in the corridor.

"Kongqing-kun?" Kato Hiromi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and slowly approached. "Fate brings us together from a thousand miles away?"

Kobayashi Sora opened his mouth, he suspected that Kato Hiromi was a fortune teller, really.

"I only knew that Hui and her family were traveling, but I didn't expect to run into them here."

"I thought you came here on purpose—where did Hui go?"

"My boss is drunk, and since she's a woman, I'm asking Hui for help," Kobayashi Sora replied succinctly.

How's the work going?

"The more difficult parts are done; what remains are the easier parts."

"Then... could you spare a day?"

"It should be fine. Is there anything I can help you with?"

“It’s so rare to run into you,” Hiromi Kato smiled. “Don’t you want to travel with Megumi?”

"Never mind," Kobayashi Sora shook her head. "I heard from Kei that this is the last family trip without outsiders, so I won't disturb them."

“Here’s the thing,” Hiromi Kato said in a low voice to avoid being overheard from inside the door, “You know, I’m getting married soon, so I’ll hardly have any chance to travel with my parents anymore.”

"That's how it is."

"In comparison, you and Hui will have to wait a long time to get married, right?"

"Uh......"

"That means Hui still has many opportunities to travel alone with her parents, but I only have this one left."

"Not necessarily."

“Although I wanted to travel alone with my parents, I couldn’t leave Megumi alone, and then you appeared.” Hiromi Kato clapped her hands lightly. “So, it’s perfect that you guys can play together, and I can also spend a day alone with my parents. Everyone’s happy, right?”

“That’s true…” Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, “How about this, you and Megumi discuss it and see what she thinks. If she’s willing, I can free up some time.”

"Really?" Kato Hiromi was somewhat skeptical, since Kobayashi Sora had just said "probably".

"of course."

"Then it's settled." Hiromi Kato smiled gently. "I'll let you know later."

"Yes." Kobayashi Sora nodded. "My phone number is..."

"I've got it. I'll remember to plan this out carefully..."

"Sister?" Kato Megumi pushed open the door and saw the two people standing there. "What's the plan?"

"Your life's most important matter," Hiromi Kato replied casually.

"Sister!" Kato Megumi puffed out her cheeks and turned to stare at Kobayashi Sora.

"I didn't hear anything," Kobayashi Sora said honestly.

"It's all alright inside now," Kato Megumi reminded him. "Don't lift the blanket."

"I won't go in if there's nothing else." Kobayashi Sora closed the door. "It's good that you helped me."

"It's nothing," Kato Megumi shook her head. "But in that case, there's no need to bring a souvenir."

It's a bit of a shame.

“How about this,” Kobayashi Sora suggested, “we can choose our own souvenirs, and then we can see when we get back how many are the same and how many are different.”

"Hmm... okay."

"See you later."

"See you later." Kato Megumi and her sister returned to their room together.

"So what exactly did my sister say to Kong Qing?"

"About marriage."

"Sister~"

-

The next day, around noon, Kobayashi Sora, who had received the message, knocked on Akane Akasaka's door with breakfast.

"Come in," came Akane Akasaka's voice from inside.

Kobayashi Sora brought in breakfast after swiping the door open, and unsurprisingly found the bedside table in a mess.

Those were empty bottles, along with fruit pits and peels.

On the bed was Akane Akasaka, wearing pajamas, her wine-red hair disheveled, and her eyes bloodshot.

"Isn't it about time you quit drinking?"

"Ha—~" Akane Akasaka yawned, "It's still early."

I woke up in the middle of the night last night and ate some fruit, drank several bottles of water and juice, and since I have a high alcohol tolerance, I didn't feel too bad.

"It's late, so be it." Kobayashi Sora tidied up quickly and placed the plate on the bedside table.

"Drinking alcohol is bad for your health," Kobayashi Sora said, sitting down to the side. "I suggest you quit."

"Living is bad for your health." Akane Akasaka rolled her eyes. "I suggest you die."

Kobayashi Sora was speechless for a moment.

“Alcohol causes serious damage to the brain,” Kobayashi Sora said, changing the subject. “If you continue like this, you’ll soon be unable to create anything.”

Akane Kousaka ate her breakfast, saying, "I've long been prepared to die if I can't create any interesting content."

"What if you still have the ability to create, but your body can't take it anymore because of excessive drinking?"

"Wouldn't it be better to die while creating?"

Kobayashi Sora narrowed her eyes slightly. As expected of Akane Kousaka, her verbal attacks, which were quite effective in the anime, had no effect on her at all.

The basement is definitely the most reliable option.

"You brat..." Akane Akasaka looked at Sora Kobayashi, "You're not thinking about how to lock me in the basement, are you?"

"You can start looking forward to it now."

“That’s pretty good~” Akane Akane raised an eyebrow. “It’s kind of interesting. An adult woman being imprisoned by a younger high school student… that feels a bit awful. Let’s turn it around, a manga artist being imprisoned by a high school girl.”

"As expected of you." Kobayashi Sora sighed, "You came up with a great idea on the spot. Let's eat first."

Akane Kousaka got down to business, "What about the research route?"

"Shouldn't you be the one to figure this out?"

"With you here, what else do I need to think about? It's just a side trip for gathering material anyway, landmark locations are fine."

“I see…” Kobayashi Sora searched her mental map, “The morning market is closed at this time, but we can go to Murakami Urchin Restaurant. This is the main branch, and they also have a branch in Sapporo. After eating, we can visit Goryokaku Park, which is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot at this time. In the afternoon, we can head to Mount Hakodate, which is known for its million-dollar night view. Along the way, we will pass by churches, the Motomachi district, and other places. We should arrive at the summit half an hour before sunset to enjoy the view of the night view gradually illuminating the city.”

"You really didn't disappoint me. It's settled then."

"There's one more thing."

"explain."

"I need a day off," Kobayashi Sora said frankly. "I have some personal matters to attend to."

"I've approved your paid leave," Akane Akasaka replied casually. "What... eh?"
