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

This is the disadvantage for new players who join later: the number of monsters is limited, and a significant portion of the easily hunted monsters have become experience points for other players.

All that's left are those high-risk monsters, and everyone's trying to avoid them.

Seeing the desperate cries in the chat group, everyone was gripped by fear and cowered inside the abandoned shopping mall, too afraid to go out.

The knowledge they acquired belonged to the upper class; all the business and political knowledge they had was useless here.

"My phone battery is almost dead..." Iino Miko looked at her phone.

"..." Fujiwara Chika was also touching her phone, trying to contact the outside world.

But it's clear that this is a space independent of the original world, and there's no way to contact the outside world.

After trying it for a while, she turned off her phone.

"It's a total of five days, and there are still four days left. If we just hang in there, it'll be over soon, okay!"

She nodded, raised her little fist to cheer herself up. Always cheerful and a bit naive, she was always able to adjust her mood quickly.

"Cuckoo..."

However, the rumbling in her stomach betrayed her.

Everyone was watching her; no one else was in such a good mood.

"Uh……"

She had no choice but to dejectedly withdraw her hand.

“We know the truth, there’s no need to encourage us,” Iino Miko sighed.

"Come on, cheer up. Anyway, we have food now, so we won't starve to death for the time being."

Fujiwara Chika laughed, "I saw that the previous batch of veteran players in the chat room also survived like this, going hungry for three days straight."

As the student council secretary, Fujiwara Chika may not have outstanding grades, but she is very intelligent and has maintained her physical strength and optimistic attitude since entering this alternate world.

But others don't have her positive attitude.

Iino Miko glanced at her, but didn't bother with her. She hugged her knees and sat motionless in the corner, trying to conserve her strength.

The only food was placed in the middle, and a quiet atmosphere spread among the crowd, like a giant beast slowly sucking everyone into the abyss.

Especially the obese male student, whose eyes were fixed on the canned food. His tolerance for hunger was the lowest, his eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing was getting heavier.

“Futata-kun, it’s not time to distribute the food yet. We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to distribute it,” Tanuma Tsubasa emphasized.

The obese male student named Futada Satoru pouted, resigned to his fate.

With everyone present watching, and the food being distributed strictly and fairly, he didn't dare to take any directly.

Just then, Fujiwara Chika discovered something.

"Hmm?" She widened her eyes slightly as she looked at the system interface.

"That Tsukikawa Shuu accepted my reservation!"

Chapter 26 This is the dignity of the upper class!

"You actually made a reservation for something like this?" Iino Miko exclaimed in surprise.

The others around them also looked on in shock.

Shuchiin Academy, being a private, upper-class school, is inherently aloof and emphasizes elegance in everything it does, making it impossible for it to associate with such vulgar matters.

And now look at this post by someone named Tsukikawa Shuu.

Putting the words "Seeking many virtuous wives" directly in the title of a post is not just vulgar, it's downright despicable!

Although the other party is indeed of a higher level and stronger, now that I have entered the private Shuchiin Academy, I must draw a line between myself and such vulgar and base things.

That's why all the girls simply ignored the post.

Even though they might be killed by monsters at any moment, and even though they are still hungry!

This is the dignity that belongs to the upper class!

"Haha... This is just a trial, you know. Look at this guy, he doesn't seem to be lacking in equipment. Maybe he can get a few experience cards for free, right?"

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Fujiwara Chika quickly smiled. She hadn't expected her friends to react so strongly even in this world.

However, everyone's attention remained focused on her.

There was no opposition to her actions, but rather a tacit acceptance tinged with incomprehension and disgust.

Fujiwara Chika is the student council secretary, and her background is unmatched. She is the daughter of a political family; her great-grandfather was the former prime minister, and her uncle is the current minister of a ministry. She has an exceptionally distinguished lineage.

Someone of this status should not have anything to do with someone like Tsukikawa Shuu, who looks like a thug.

"Uh... legally speaking, it's called emergency avoidance. Anyway, we're still not out of danger, so having another hope is always good."

At this moment, Iino Miko quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

The surrounding students then turned their attention away.

Miko Iino breathed a sigh of relief.

The underworld is a place that exposes human nature. She never imagined that her classmates would cast such glances at Fujiwara Chika at a time like this, all because of their noble status.

"Iino! Thank you so much!"

Fujiwara Chika lowered her voice, grasped Iino Miko's hands, tears welling up in her eyes, on the verge of crying.

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but it was indeed the first time that Fujiwara Chika had been looked at like that by her classmates, and the usually innocent girl was a little frightened.

"Alright, alright, be more careful next time," said Miko Iino.

"But are you really going to agree to that guy's request?" Iino Miko glanced at the information listed on Tsukikawa Shu's post again.

It was very tempting, but his conditions were something that the upper class couldn't accept at all.

"How could that be? I don't even know him," Fujiwara Chika pouted. "I was just seeing if I could get something for free..."

"That's good." Iino Miko breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy named Tsukikawa Shuu's post looks very unreliable. How could someone from the upper class possibly submit to something like this?

At that moment, Tsukikawa Shuu also sent a private message.

"Are you there?"

Tsukikawa Shuu sat on the hotel sofa, lazily crossing her legs.

After a while——

Fujiwara Chika: "Ahaha, I'm here."

Tsukikawa Shuu: "Are you really here for this job?"

Fujiwara Chika: "Hmm... let's take a look..."

Fujiwara Chika: "Tsukikawa-kun is really amazing. He can even defeat level 20 monsters and open a dungeon. I didn't even know what a dungeon was."

Tsukikawa Shuu: "Are you really here for this job?"

Fujiwara Chika: "...How did Tsukikawa-kun deal with those monsters? In the very beginning, during the beginner stage, what methods were there for dealing with those monsters?"

Tsukikawa Shuu: "Are you really here for this job?"

Fujiwara Chika: "Uh..."

Tsukikawa Shuu looked at the chat history listlessly, showing no interest in Fujiwara Chika's low-class flattery.

He didn't believe that a young lady like Fujiwara Chika, with such a powerful background, would think of throwing herself into his arms after only two days of setbacks in the underworld.

It's just my break time now, and I'm just catching up with some familiar faces since I have nothing else to do.

A moment later, the other party replied again, and this time with a long message.

Fujiwara Chika: "I'm sorry! I didn't really come here. I just saw what you wrote on your post and wanted to try my luck."

Fujiwara Chika: "But I really need this experience card. Right now, all six of us are facing danger. We can't hunt those monsters, and we don't dare to go out to find food."

Fujiwara Chika: "You wrote in your post that as long as you accept my reservation, I can get experience cards. I really need these things."

Fujiwara Chika: "Of course, of course! I won't take your things for nothing. Our Fujiwara family will offer something in return, and I will also compensate you for my initial offense! Please forgive me, Mr. Tsukikawa!!!"

Tsukikawa Shuu found the replies somewhat amusing.

He had a good impression of Fujiwara Chika; at least from their conversation, she didn't have the airs of someone from a higher social class, was polite, and most importantly, understood the importance of equal exchange.

“Okay, I won’t go back on my word about the experience card,” Tsukikawa Shu replied.

Meanwhile, Fujiwara Chika was huddled together with Iino Miko, anxiously awaiting Tsukikawa Shu's reply.

They don't need that many things; all they need is experience cards to level up and gain some strength so they can escape the dangers of the early beginner phase.

Fujiwara Chika finally smiled after seeing Tsukikawa Shu's reply.

Then, her system interface displayed:

[Received a gift from Tsukikawa Shu: Experience Cards *3]

"He kept his promise!" She happily hugged her best friend.
