How to raise a random guy's wife

"I'm going to send it out!" Tang Keke announced energetically, because the group had just debuted and didn't have any fans yet, "I'll send it to people who seem like they'll support us!"

"What does this 'Kaoru' mean?" Shibuya Kanon noticed the words on the standee.

"It's a name I came up with," Tang Keke blinked. "Combining the 'Ke' in 'Keke' and the 'Xiang' in 'Xiangyin' makes 'Kexiang'!"

Shibuya Kanon: "I can't understand..."

Lan Qiansha exclaimed, "But you actually did this in your spare time from practicing."

"Because I like it!" Tang Keke replied with a smile.

Do you like it...?

Shibuya Kanon's gaze followed the cherry blossoms fluttering in the air.

I like it.

As the cherry blossoms fluttered in the breeze, a huge stage came into view.

Are you going to perform here?

Shibuya Kaon murmured.

I felt anticipation, but even more so...

"The performance will take place right here," a voice announced.

Shibuya Kanon looked in the direction of the voice, and it was Kobayashi Sora who was speaking.

"Xiao Lin!" Tang Keke exclaimed.

"I'm here to deliver costumes," said Kobayashi Sora, carrying two performance outfits. "Since they are samples, please feel free to share any ideas or suggestions you may have."

He looked at the standee, "I was originally thinking of preparing one for you, but it seems we won't need it now. As for the glow sticks, I'll have someone help distribute them later, so you can just focus on preparing for your performance."

Tang Keke jumped up happily, "That's awesome!"

Shibuya Kanon was a little embarrassed, "I've asked you to help me so much..."

“I also have something to gain, so don’t be shy.” Kobayashi Sora paused. “I have another piece of news to tell you this time.”

"Hmm?" Tang Keke asked curiously, "What news?"

Do you know the duo "Fiery Passion"?

"Of course I know!" Tang Keke exclaimed excitedly, "SunnyPassion, the super school idol from Kamizu Island?!"

"Yes."

Shibuya Kanon had a bad feeling. "What?"

"I received news that they will be attending the celebration."

"Huh?" Lan Qiansha was surprised. "Really?"

"The official announcement should be coming soon," Kobayashi Sora replied. "The news is basically true."

"Um..." Kato Megumi spoke up, "Are they very good?"

"It's incredibly amazing!" Tang Keke excitedly grabbed Kato Megumi's hand. "Come with me!"

Led by Tang Keke, the group arrived at her apartment. Unopened boxes were scattered throughout the house, and on the wall opposite the balcony was a huge poster framed in gold.

Chapter 119 has been discovered.

On the poster, an adorable girl with shark teeth has dazzling blonde hair, while an elegant and tall beauty with long purple hair reaching her waist stands beside her.

"You have such a big poster in your house..." Shibuya Kanon exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course! I came here precisely because I saw these two perform." Tang Keke clasped her hands together. "Like a sunflower, cheerful and warm-hearted, like the passionate sun—Lady Hiiragi Yuna; with beauty that could launch a thousand ships and elegant manners, like the passionate night—Lady Hiiragi Mao! Haha~"

"They're all such amazing people," Shibuya Kanon couldn't help but exclaim.

Arashi Chisara looked worried. "This group is going to perform at this festival?"

Kobayashi Sora nodded, "It was sudden, but it's true."

"Ah~" Tang Keke twisted and turned, "I never thought I would be able to perform on the same stage as the fiery passion of the sun."

She pulled out a treasured video; in the video, two girls dressed in gorgeous costumes danced beautifully, sang melodiously, and moved with ease.

"Wow, that's amazing..." Kato Megumi exclaimed. "They seem to be from completely different worlds."

Arashi Chisato shared the same sentiment, saying, "As expected of the team that represented Tokyo last year, they are on a completely different level."

She helped Tang Keke and Shibuya Kanon choreograph, and was quite familiar with their skill levels.

Shibuya Kanon's forehead was covered in sweat. "If they participate, we definitely won't get first place."

“Of course!” Tang Keke was still excited. “For a festival of this scale, the first place will definitely go to ‘Fiery Passion’.” She suddenly paused, then came to her senses. “But if we want to continue being school idols…”

Shibuya Kanon chimed in, "You absolutely have to get first place!"

"Ah? Ah??? Ah???" Tang Keke let out a miserable wail.

Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora with confusion, "Did she just find out?"

Kobayashi Sora shrugged. "Well, it's inevitable to be excited about performing on the same stage as my idol."

Lan Qiansha sighed helplessly, "They finally realized it."

"I feel like I have no chance of winning, what should I do!" Tang Keke's face was ashen.

Arashi Chisa knew their abilities very well. "There are still five days until the performance. Intensifying the training now will probably be of no use... Besides, the singing has been handed over to Coco."

"I'm sorry." Shibuya Kanon's eyelids drooped slightly.

“It’s okay!” Tang Keke’s eyes widened like saucers. “I’ll make up for your difficulties.”

She lay down and said, "Watch, one, two, three."

While counting, Tang Keke completed three sit-ups.

Tang Keke smiled easily, "You see, if you persist every day, you will gradually be able to do it. If you keep at it, you will definitely be able to do it perfectly during the performance."

Arashi Chisara looked at Shibuya Kanon beside her, opened her mouth, and said, "Then I'll go back first. I still have to go to dance practice later."

The atmosphere became somewhat somber as they watched Lan Qiansha leave.

"Well... there's still no confirmed news, right?" Tang Keke still held a sliver of hope. "Maybe they won't..."

Before she could finish speaking, her phone vibrated slightly.

Tang Keke took out her phone, glanced at the screen, and her cute little face fell. "They will... announce it officially."

“Even so,” Kobayashi Sora said, “it’s a rare opportunity to perform on the same stage as my idol, so let’s do our best without any regrets.”

“That’s right!” Tang Keke cheered.

Shibuya Kanon seemed to be thinking about something, and gave a soft "hmm".

“By the way…” Kobayashi Sora looked at the boxes around her, “Coco, you haven’t packed your things yet, have you? Do you need any help?”

"Ah..." Tang Keke smiled slightly, "Well... I'll come by myself when I have time."

"Alright, try on your costumes. Let me know if you have any problems." Kobayashi Sora smiled and left with Kato Megumi. "We won't bother you any longer."

As she left Tang Keke's house, Kobayashi Sora replied to messages.

"Chisato-san?" Kato Megumi saw Kobayashi Sora's phone screen; he hadn't been on guard against her anyway.

"Yes." Kobayashi Sora nodded. "I asked her if she was interested in joining Coco and the others."

What did she say?

“She is interested, but Chisato also wants to dance, and achieving success in dance is her biggest goal right now. She doesn’t have the energy to do two things at the same time. Besides, Kanon is very serious, and she doesn’t want to participate with a half-hearted attitude.”

"I see..." Kato Megumi recalled Tang Keke's appearance just now, that hard-working look. Tang Keke must have put in even more effort behind the scenes. "Are you hiding something from them?"

"You found out?"

"I have a feeling," Kato Megumi guessed. "If it were destined to fail, you wouldn't have invited Chisato-san."

“That’s right,” Kobayashi Sora put away her phone, “With the passionate spirit of the scorching sun participating in the festival, the Kaori duo actually has a greater chance of winning.”

"what?"

"To be precise, it is more likely that they can continue their activities. After all, losing to a group that has been around for a long time is not shameful and will not damage the value of the school."

"Then why not tell them?"

"Because we know we will fail, it will help Xiangyin perform better," Kobayashi Sora explained. "She can't sing because she's afraid of all the consequences of failure. Now that she's destined to fail, there's nothing to be afraid of."

“If things continue like this,” Shibuya Kanon looked at the girl in front of her, “it will be too difficult for you to get first place. In that case, your dream might come to an end—all because of me…”

Her voice was trembling with barely concealed sobs.

“You’ve traveled across the ocean to come here, you have things you want to do, and it’s time for you to start pursuing your dreams…” Tears welled up uncontrollably, and Shibuya Kanon couldn’t suppress her self-loathing. “It’s all because of me, because I forced you to give up your dreams… As expected, I only hold you back—someone like me has no right to stand on the same stage as you.”

Tang Keke didn't say anything, she just held her crying companion in her arms.

"I'm sorry, Coco!" Shibuya Kanon sobbed in her arms, "I'm so sorry!"

"Don't belittle yourself like that," Tang Keke smiled. "Otherwise, how pathetic would it be for me to have fallen for you?"

She closed her eyes, and memories rushed past her. "Before, my life consisted only of studying. It wasn't until I saw the blazing sun and passionate emotions that I realized I also wanted to sing my feelings and emotions freely like that. The first time I heard your voice, my surprise was no less than that. So for me, you are already my star, my dream."

The girl in her arms stopped crying, and Tang Keke loosened her arms. "Let's cheer up together. Standing on the same stage as you is already one of my dreams."

"But......"

"Let's put on the best show together."

Shibuya Kanon forcefully wiped away her tears. "I...I'll do my best too! I'll try my best, just like you!"

Chapter 120 Don't let anyone get hurt!

"It's much more lively than I expected." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked around. A large audience had already gathered in front of the huge stage. "Although I've heard that there's a festival here, I didn't expect there to be so many people."

"I didn't expect you guys to come either." Kobayashi Sora originally planned to come with Kato Megumi. "Shouldn't you be busy with the game's progress?"

"Are you the owner of a ruthless company?" Eriri looked at him unhappily. "Besides, I'm here to observe his expressions."
