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

"Goto-kun, can I walk with you?" the other person asked with a smile, scratching his cheek.

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri looked up, clearly very surprised that the other person actually knew him.

Chapter 2

The person in front of me was a very handsome young man, and he seemed a little shy.

"I'm Tsukikawa Shuu, I'm in the class next to yours," Tsukikawa Shuu said with a smile.

"Oh……"

Goto Ichiri's mind was still blank.

Huh? The class next door? Never heard of them. Does the class next door have such a handsome guy? ...

But thinking about it, it makes sense. I don't even know half of my classmates.

A whole semester has already passed...

Ahhh! The other person has already introduced themselves, shouldn't I say something too? Oh right, introduce myself...

"I am Goto Ichiri..."

Goto Ichiri spoke timidly, her voice barely audible.

Seeing Goto Ichiri's state, Tsukikawa Shu was completely within expectations.

When someone with severe social anxiety is suddenly struck up a conversation, they usually feel flustered, especially when someone of the opposite sex approaches. They will not only feel nervous and timid, but also blush.

They didn't have many friends they could talk to, and during their school years, they only went to school and home. They didn't know much about the outside world, especially in terms of interpersonal relationships.

In other words, this kind of person has no dating experience, making them the easiest to win over.

Ever since seeing that Goto Ichiri had also entered the other world, Tsukikawa Shu made a decision.

You have to trick her into becoming your wife!

Goto Ichiri is the protagonist of "Lonely Rock," an ultimate socially awkward character who can make exaggerated facial expressions anywhere.

Although she often wears sportswear and looks a bit unfashionable, she is actually very beautiful, and beneath that thin sportswear lies a broad chest.

"The topic...the topic is over, let's talk about something else...Ahhh! He's looking at me!"

The other party did not speak, and Goto Ichiri's brain instantly went into high-speed operation, but it was still in a blank, malfunctioning state.

It's that awkward time again when we run out of things to talk about!

"Actually... I've been following you for a long time and have always wanted to get to know you."

Tsukikawa Hiiragi smiled, still looking somewhat embarrassed.

To get closer to someone with social anxiety, besides taking the initiative yourself, you also need to make them feel that you are the same kind of person and a friend with whom you can resonate.

"Really...really?" Goto Ichiri asked in disbelief.

How could someone with such a dark and withdrawn personality attract others? Although I've always wanted to be noticed.

“I’ve heard your band play. From the first time I saw you, I was captivated by you. You must have practiced your guitar diligently for a long time. Every performance is outstanding,” Tsukikawa Shu said.

"Hehehe... well, not really. How do you say it, practice makes perfect..."

Hearing Tsukikawa Shuu's praise, Goto Ichiri touched his own head and felt a little smug.

Socially anxious people who are introverted often seem to fall into a kind of self-contradiction, wanting to be noticed but also not wanting to be watched by others all the time.

In reality, they are like a mollusk hiding in its shell, hoping to conceal their past misdeeds and vulnerable parts from being discovered, while showing off their strengths in order to gain the limited attention they receive.

However, the reason why people with social anxiety often go unnoticed is because their strengths are too niche or not noticeable compared to those around them.

Because they haven't received much attention for a long time, they become incredibly euphoric when someone occasionally notices their strengths and praises them.

"So, would you like to team up with me?" Tsukikawa Shuu extended her hand.

“Of course…” Goto Ichiri panicked for a moment, then reached out and tightly grasped Tsukikawa Shu’s hand.

It was the first time Goto Ichiri had ever touched a boy's hand... She couldn't help but blush a little.

He helped Goto Ichiri up, and then the two of them walked out of the school building.

Both of them proceeded cautiously into this unknown world.

[Current location: Longyue County]

Difficulty: E

Tsukikawa Shu then checked the system map.

The currently unlocked area centers on a desolate city, surrounded by larger uninhabited areas, and extending outwards into a dark, unknown land.

Although there are some monsters and dangers in the city, it is relatively safe. The further away from the city, the higher the danger level.

"If the map doesn't change every time you enter the Otherworld, then the current city is just a starting village. Soon, players will build their own villages and trading systems, turning this city into a safe haven."

Tsukikawa Shu walked ahead, pondering what to do next, while Goto Ichiri followed half a step behind him.

Looking at Tsukikawa Shuu's handsome face and his serious expression, Goto Ichiri was momentarily lost in thought, but didn't know what topic to bring up to broaden their familiarity.

I used to fantasize about a handsome guy taking the initiative to approach me, and then starting a bittersweet romance...

But now that such a person was right in front of him, Goto Ichiri was at a loss.

“We should find some low-level monsters to practice on and level up as quickly as possible,” Tsukikawa Shuu said, turning around.

"okay!"

Goto Ichiri blurted it out almost as if it were a reflex.

People with social anxiety have little decision-making power in group activities and generally lack their own opinions.

Meanwhile, Tsukikawa Shu was thinking about how to complete the task assigned to him by the system, which was to trick Goto Ichiri into becoming his wife.

Although Goto Ichiri is indeed not good at refusing others, she should still be more careful in this matter, at least to gain the other person's trust and reliance, and to build an emotional bond.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

The two continued walking and gradually came to the outside of a dilapidated restaurant.

Through the dusty glass door, you can see a huge rat, about the size of a suitcase, sleeping soundly on the counter inside.

This is the lowest level monster, only level 1.

"Let's practice with this and find a weapon."

Tsukigawa Hiiragi said.

Goto Ichiri looked at the enormous rat inside, swallowed hard, and then nodded stiffly.

What am I going to do...? I can't even pass a physical education exam, how am I supposed to fight this monster...? I'm really going to be a burden... I might not even be able to beat a level 1 monster like this...

Under immense psychological pressure, and recalling his past embarrassing moments at the sports festival, Goto Ichiri's breathing became heavier, and his body even began to tremble.

Tsukikawa looked around and then pulled out a chipped crowbar from among the broken bricks and tiles.

The Holy Sword of Physics

[Quality: White Packaging]

[Durability: 70/100]

[Additional effect: Chance to inflict tetanus damage]

Although its quality is poor, it should be sufficient to deal with a level 1 monster.

Chapter 3 Goto Ichiri, the Confessor

Then, after searching for a while, they found a rusty, abandoned steel pipe.

[Steel pipe]

[Quality: White Packaging]

[Durability: 80/100]

[Additional effect: Chance to inflict tetanus damage]

"Here you go." Tsukikawa Shuu tossed the steel pipe to Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri took the steel pipe, and then his hands involuntarily sank down.

Good weight……

Goto Ichiri, who is not good at sports, even finds it difficult to lift a steel pipe.

"I'll attack from behind. If it doesn't kill you in one blow, you rush up and smash its head again," Tsukikawa Shuu said.

Goto Ichiri nodded blankly, but in reality, he had absolutely no confidence in himself.

Tsukikawa Shu carefully stepped over the shattered glass door, crept up behind the giant rat, raised the crowbar in her hand, and plunged it hard into the rat's head.

With a cracking sound of bones breaking and blood spurting out, the giant rat let out a shrill cry, its marble-sized scarlet eyes widening as it darted away.

"Smash it!"
