How to raise a random guy's wife

Kato Megumi tried her best to imitate Eriri's appearance, puffing out her pink cheeks.

"You can't work like this without the poker face you have cotton stuffed in your cheeks while getting your cavities treated... Can't you be a little angrier?"

"Ugh..." Kato Megumi struggled to find the feeling of suppressing her desire, her voice muffled, her face flushed, "Like this?"

"Suppressing anger is not the same as holding your breath!"

"Sorry... is it like this?" Kato Megumi relaxed a little.

"You look a little apologetic..."

"It's...it's so difficult." Kato Megumi straightened up, sitting upright and tensely in the chair.

“Think back,” Eriri suggested, “when Kobayashi saw you wearing a bunny girl outfit…”

"Eh?"

"Don't blush! That's just shyness..." Eriri sighed, "Like this, when Kobayashi secretly takes pictures of you..."

"He didn't take any photos without my permission."

"I'll lift your skirt!"

"Nothing like that happened."

"How could there not be?!"

Kobayashi Sora couldn't take it anymore, "How could that be? What kind of person do you take me for?"

Eriri turned her head. "Removing the character '人' (person) would better suit my idea."

"Uncle, it's me..."

"Shut your mouth!"

“I mean, what would you like to drink?” Kobayashi Sora pointed to the door. “I’ll go buy it.”

"Lemon tea, not Lipton, that's too much like black tea."

Where is Hui?

"I want a coffee au lait."

"Senior?" Kobayashi Sora continued to ask.

In the last row of the corridor, in a place where even the setting sun couldn't reach, Kasumigaoka Utaha silently typed on her laptop, seemingly oblivious to Kobayashi Sora's question.

"Understood." Kobayashi Sora left the classroom, returning with several bags in her hands. "Coffee au lait, lemon tea."

After putting down a few bags of snacks, Kobayashi Sora went to Kasumigaoka Utaha's side and said, "Black coffee and Pocky."

Kasumigaoka Utaha continued typing on the keyboard, her hands showing no sign of stopping.

The characters scrolled by line by line, all of them simple and easy-to-read short sentences, but there were also quite a few errors among them.

However, when thinking is flowing smoothly, correcting mistakes can disrupt the flow of thought, and modifications can only be made later.

Moreover, because the brain automatically corrects errors in the text one writes, it is actually harder to find mistakes.

"Give it to me," Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly said.

Kobayashi Sora handed over the Pocky.

"I said give it to me."

My hand yesterday...

despair.

Kasumigaoka Utaha clicked her tongue, stopped typing, snatched the Pocky from Kobayashi Sora's hand, tore open the packaging, and started crunching away. "You interrupted my train of thought."

“A proper rest is good too.” Kobayashi Sora didn’t seem to care. “Go eat something, I’ll correct my mistakes.”

Moving the notebook in front of her, Kobayashi Sora enlarged the font and carefully checked and revised it, while comparing words with Kasumigaoka Utaha to avoid misinterpreting words that were not actually wrong.

While things are a bit more relaxed here, progress on the other side is not going smoothly.

Eriri looked at the indifferent girl in front of her with despair, "Megumi, don't you even know how to roll your eyes at someone?"

"Many people probably don't know this..." Kato Megumi said with some doubt. "Isn't this an ability that's used very often?"

"There's really no other way, so let's just keep making an angry face... Make a face that looks like there's an angry symbol on your forehead."

"Huh? I mean..." Kato Megumi seemed a little flustered, "This kind of..."

"What? That won't work either? What about a sweat symbol? Surely you can't even add three more lines to your face?"

Kato Megumi felt she had pushed the limits of human capability. "Isn't it unnecessary to use a question for something so completely impossible?"

"I can't even draw a single chibi-style character design like this! What am I going to do...?"

Kato Megumi suddenly felt as if it was her fault, "I...I'm sorry...?"

“There’s no need to apologize for this.” Kobayashi Sora finished her correction task and came to Kato Megumi’s side. “Basically, no one can turn themselves into an emoji.”

Eriri demanded, "Then what do you suggest we do?!"

“This is a good opportunity to try out the method I used to draw the bunny girl.” Kobayashi Sora gestured. “Observe the expressions of other people, and then use Megumi as a template to draw.”

“Okay!” Eriri stared at Kobayashi Sora. “I’ll wait for you to find the right expression for me.”

"So...which expression were we working on just now?"

"angry."

Kobayashi Sora nodded, "I'll leave it to Uncle..."

"Who are you, Uncle!"

Click!

Kobayashi Sora showed Eriri her phone screen, "Look, an angry face."

“…” Eriri looked at her annoyed face on her phone. “I told you you’re a habitual paparazzi, Megumi, look at him!”

"Korai," Kato Megumi tugged at Kobayashi Sorai's sleeve, "What you're doing isn't right."

"So this wasn't a candid shot..."

Kato Megumi just looked at him.

Kobayashi Sora's voice trailed off, "Okay, I'll delete it, I'll delete it."

Chapter 118 Passion Under the Scorching Sun

“I found the expression you wanted, but it was the one you didn’t want,” Kobayashi Sora declared. “Don’t blame me.”

Eriri snapped, "Shut up, you sneaky photographer!"

"I'm filming this openly and honestly."

"How dare you say that? Wouldn't it be even more shameless to openly take photos secretly?"

"Openly taking photos without permission doesn't count as taking photos without permission."

"Blatant shamelessness is still shamelessness!"

Hehehehehehehehe...

A low, ghostly laugh suddenly echoed in the classroom, drowning out even the voices of Eriri and Kobayashi Sora.

That laughter was truly chilling, like a cold attack from hell.

All three people's eyes were focused on Kasumigaoka Utaha in the back row. She was typing rapidly on the keyboard, and a smile like that of a hannya appeared on her originally expressionless face. Her hands moved so fast that she seemed like an automatic writing doll.

"Hehehehe... What's going on? This girl is ridiculous, absolutely awful! Oh hohohohe... Gaha, ahahahahaha! This is so tragic~~ How are these two supposed to be a couple~~ So absurd~~ Really... Hehehehehehehehahahahaha!!!"

As if sensing everyone's gaze, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly looked up, her scarlet eyes sweeping across like knives.

"Don't look this way! Don't ask anything! Don't say a word!"

"Okay." Kato Megumi replied obediently, clutching Kobayashi Sora's sleeve.

"It still doesn't work!" Shibuya Kanon collapsed helplessly onto the bed. "I really can't do it!"

With the celebration approaching, she tried many methods and made various efforts with the help of Tang Keke and Lan Qiansha.

But... no means no.

"If I could sing it so easily, I wouldn't have been so troubled before."

“You can definitely sing it.” Tang Keke remembered what Kobayashi Sora had said. Even if he hadn’t said it, her trust in Shibuya Kaon had never changed. “I saw it before.”

“It was just a coincidence…” Shibuya Kanon tilted her head to one side dejectedly. “The real me is the one I am now.”

"Don't give up on yourself like this!" Tang Keke said truthfully, "It's all thanks to your encouragement that I've worked so hard until now."

“Coco…” Shibuya Kanon frowned, “But after I sang it once, it went back to normal. What should I do…”

I could sing it, but I just can't.

Things that are clearly possible to do, are simply impossible to do.

If again...

“I understand.” Tang Keke didn’t press her any further. “Then I won’t force you to sing now. I’ll sing this performance all by myself.”

"Huh?" Shibuya Kanon looked at Tang Keke in surprise.

“Although my singing skills are not as good as yours, all you need to do is stand on the stage and do your best to complete the performance together—we can figure out how to sing after it’s over.” Tang Keke tried hard to hide her fear. If she got scared first, there would be no way to win. “I promise!” Her voice became more and more firm. “I will not give up until you can sing out loud.”

“Kane,” Arashi Chisa said, “Coco said so.”

“Coco…” Shibuya Kanon’s eyes trembled slightly. “Okay, first of all, the two of us need to get first place. Even if I can’t sing it, I will try my best to put on a beautiful performance.”

“That’s right!” Tang Keke nodded vigorously. “Now that you’ve made up your minds, I have something I’d like to show you.”

Led by Tang Keke, Shibuya Kanon and Arashi Chisara saw a huge standee with chibi-style portraits of Tang Keke and Shibuya Kanon, along with their names in cute font, surrounded by bright ribbons and adorable balloons.

"What is this...?" Shibuya Kanon stared at the enormous signboard, which was at least two meters long and wide.

"This is a promotional sign with the group's name on it, prepared for our first performance," Tang Keke explained, skipping around and waving a glow stick. "And of course, glow sticks too!"

"Shouldn't the glow sticks be held by the fans?" Arashi Chisa said helplessly.
