In a crossover anime, the only way to become stronger is by marrying a wife.

“Poch-chan,” Nijika Ichichi sighed, “I know you want to get attention, but lying like this isn’t good, you know.”

"Really! Why can't any of you do it!"

If you don't believe me, how can I show off? How can I brag?

It was only then that Goto Ichiri realized that the actual situation was far different from what she had imagined. Her family and friends did not feel envious or jealous upon hearing the news; instead, they all disbelieved it and even suspected that she was sick.

"Poch-chan!" Suddenly, Ijichi Kurenai grabbed Goto Ichiri's shoulder and stared straight at her.

“W-what’s wrong…” Goto Ichiri panicked.

"Tell me the truth, did something happen to you? Were you harassed? Did you run into some scumbag?" Ichiji Nijika asked very seriously.

Nijika Ichichi values ​​this friend very much.

Moreover, Goto Ichiri is the type who is very easy to fool. She usually dresses in a rustic way and has a withdrawn personality, so naturally no one pursues her. But in reality, she is quite cute when she dresses up properly.

Like today!

Goto Ichiri has undergone a complete transformation.

"No, no, he's very good to me."

Goto Ichiri shook his hair like a rattle.

Ichi Nijika still didn't believe her and stared at her for a while longer.

"If anyone tries anything to harm you, just tell us, and we'll kill them for you!" Ichiji Nijika instructed.

"Oh no, no, no," Goto Ichiri said.

Goto Ichiri persisted, and Ichichi Nijika finally left with some doubt.

Nobody believes I have a boyfriend, right? Well, I'll find a chance to be affectionate in front of you all and see if you still believe me!

Watching Ichika's departing figure, Goto Ichiri pondered with some confusion.

……

……

With her schoolbag slung over one arm and browsing her phone, Tsukikawa Shuu slowly made her way to school.

Girls from his school who passed by looked at him with surprise and envy, then blushed and walked away, or whispered to their best friends.

In terms of looks, Tsukikawa Shu was a total heartthrob at school, but he was too lazy to date and didn't want to deal with those troublesome women.

Of course, except for Pochi-chan.

Goto Ichiri's face is soft and chubby, easy to fool and coax, and you can even pinch it a few times when you're feeling impulsive. You can even strengthen your bond by just strolling around town.

They don't send random messages, don't make long phone calls, and you don't have to worry about being manipulated or manipulated. They don't tag you all day to watch boring videos and jokes.

More importantly, it's an absolutely genuine virgin, no need to worry about fake restorations.

This is the perfect girlfriend for someone like Tsukikawa Shu, who likes to give up and lie low.

At this moment, Tsukikawa Shu wasn't looking at her phone, but rather at the system notification in front of her.

[Time until the opening of the Otherworld: 23:00]

Chapter 14 What does your looking for Pochi-chan have to do with me, Goto Ichiri?

[Time until the opening of the Otherworld: 23:00]

[The players who entered the inner world for the second time are:]

[Players who have entered the Otherworld and successfully survived]

[At this time, the opening of the Otherworld will attract more new players, with 50% being randomly selected and 50% being people connected to existing players.]

[The relationships involved include, but are not limited to: relatives, friends, enemies, etc.]

Looking at the countdown on the system, Tsukikawa Shu didn't actually feel nervous at all.

As for the fact that this other world will absorb the people around him, Tsukikawa Shuu is not worried.

Based on what Tsukikawa Shuu has seen on the forums and in the results of his face-to-face battles with other players in the Otherworld, it seems that over 90% of the surviving players are still at level 1, and even the small percentage who manage to level up by hunting monsters and other players won't be very high level.

For someone like Ken Koda, whom we killed before, reaching level 7 or 8 would already be quite good.

The flow of time in the inner world is independent and does not affect the time in the original world. If you are teleported into a certain time, you will still emerge at that same time.

Drink and have fun as you please, without worrying about it affecting reality.

Of course, if you die in the other world, that's a different story.

Conversely, the other world affects reality.

Tsukikawa Shuu opened her palm, and a hammer appeared in her hand unnoticed, stained with blood.

This is the weapon [Skull Crusher] obtained in the Otherworld. Items from the Otherworld can be brought back to the original world, and the power and skills from the Otherworld can also be used when returning to the original world.

It is still unknown how many people have entered the Otherworld, but judging from the current stability in Japan, the number is not large. Otherwise, Japan would have already been reborn as Gotham City, and Arkham University would be teeming with talent in no time.

Upon arriving at the classroom, Tsukikawa Shuu, as usual, took out her textbook and then lazily lay back in her chair.

The students around him were still engrossed in their studies.

Tsukikawa Shuu rested one arm on the back of the chair, took out his palm-sized notebook, and skillfully and precisely flipped to the section he needed to review. Just as he was about to take a few glances in this nonchalant manner, a graceful and mature figure walked over.

"Tsukawa Hiiragi."

Hearing someone call her name, Tsukikawa Shu raised an eyebrow slightly and saw a pair of legs wrapped in black stockings and a tall figure in a black business suit.

Hiratsuka Shizuka is Tsukikawa Shu's Japanese language teacher. She is also a very young and hot woman who is quite popular among the boys in this vibrant and competitive group.

"I have a task for you." Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned down slightly, one hand resting on Tsukikawa Shu's table.

Her expression was somewhat languid, and a faint fragrance lingered around her nose.

"Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei".

Tsukikawa Shuu, however, remained unchanged in her posture. "Do you think it's reasonable to waste the time of someone about to face a turning point in their life?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka is the instructor of the Service Club, and when talking about the Service Club, one cannot help but mention the icy, sharp-tongued beauty, Yukino Yukinoshita.

Even though he has a cheat ability that requires him to get married in order to become stronger, it doesn't mean that Tsukikawa Shu is driven by his lower body and will pursue any girl.

If I were to pursue someone, it would have to be someone like Little Boqi. Not for any other reason than that he's easy to fool and requires little effort, and the two of them get along well. Plus, the system rewards are quite generous.

As for Yukino Yukinoshita... Tsukikawa Shuu doesn't dislike her, but she won't deliberately get close to her either.

If I really had to make a choice, I'd rather try to win over her older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno, or this teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"You still need to worry about not getting into the university you want? You don't even want the University of Tokyo, do you?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka persisted, continuing on her own, "Recently we're going to hold a joint event with Seaside Comprehensive High School. As you know, our student council president is just a first-year student and can't handle this kind of thing at all, so we asked the Service Club for help."

Seaside Comprehensive High School?

When he entered the Otherworld earlier, Tsukikawa Shu killed four students from Seaside Comprehensive High School, one of whom was a member of the student council.

There are probably more than just these four guys who entered the inner world from this school.

Tsukikawa Shuu had no liking for this student council; it was mostly full of self-righteous, brainless, and irresponsible people who liked to shift blame and didn't do anything productive.

It's intriguing to wonder whether these people, in the other world, will also abandon their humanity like Ken Koda.

"Anyway, you should already know about Yukino Yukinoshita's personality. You can imagine what would happen if she were to participate in a matchmaking event with that kind of personality," Hiratsuka Shizuka said helplessly.

"So, I can only ask you, the most handsome guy in the whole school, to save the day."

"Although what you said last was the truth, do you think I'll just do it because you tell me to?" Tsukikawa Shu slammed the notebook shut.

"In short, you have to get over there."

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't give Tsukikawa Shuu a chance to refuse, and left directly, leaving behind a beautiful silhouette and the faint fragrance of her hair.

Should she accept Hiratsuka Shizuka's mission? Tsukikawa Shu hesitated.

Although I don't dislike Yukino Yukinoshita, we don't have much interaction, so I'm too lazy to help her.

[Triggering a direct quest: Help Yukino Yukinoshita out of her predicament]

[System Rewards: 1 Rare Class Card, 1 Custom Blue-Tier Weapon]

[PS: The way the host tries to come up with a reason is so cute.]

"..."

Seeing the system notification that suddenly popped up in front of him, Tsukikawa Shu was speechless.

Although the words are cold and impersonal, they are... quite sensible!

Tsukikawa Shuu doesn't think someone like Yukino Yukinoshita can be easily won over. Even if she were, she probably wouldn't be able to accept the premise that she has to wear a bunch of wings.

But—since the system rewards are already right in front of me, I might as well give it a try.

……

……

Goto Ichiri remained in a daze until the end of get out of class that day, completely distracted.
