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

"What else can we do? Kill him!"

"That's right! How dare they make such an excessive demand and insult us! We can't give in!"

"That's right, it's just a little food! We can't give in."

"Once we've developed our power, we'll definitely get our revenge!"

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, their tempers rising steadily.

"It's just going to go hungry for a day, right? No problem!"

Yu Sheng said firmly, "I just don't believe we won't find food tomorrow! Going hungry for a day isn't a big deal, it won't kill us!"

Knowing that Kaori Orimoto had suffered so much, and that she even had to give that great demon a massage, Tamaki could no longer bear it!

Kaori Orimoto is the girl I like, how can I let her serve other men!

Therefore, Tamaki firmly stood on the opposite side of Tsukikawa Shuu.

Yu Sheng's words were the final word, and everyone agreed with them.

"Yes! It's just one day of hunger, it's no big deal."

"We can't let Tsukikawa Shu look down on us, we can't give in!"

"We have sufficient plans in place, so going hungry for a day is no big deal."

……

Everyone was enthusiastic again.

The three people from Makijima looked at each other in bewilderment.

The unease in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

……

……

After dinner, Tsukikawa Shu and his group began to prepare for rest.

Tsukikawa Shu was fiddling with firewood, holding a twig.

Yui Yuigahama walked up to him.

"Thank you for tonight." Yui Yuigahama squatted down beside him, holding a twig in her hand and gently tapping the ground.

Yui Yuigahama knew that Chika Nakamachi and Kaori Orimoto were deliberately targeting her, but because she was not good at arguing with people and did not like arguing with others, the two girls took advantage of her and even apologized without sincerity.

Yui Yuigahama is also angry and wants to change things, but she doesn't know what attitude to take.

She's only good at being a lubricant in interpersonal relationships, using a bright smile to resolve conflicts. But when things happen to her, continuing to be cheerful and have a bright smile becomes a weakness that allows the other party to take advantage of her, thinking that Yui Yuigahama is an easy target.

And that's exactly the case. If Tsukikawa Shuu hadn't intervened, Yui Yuigahama would have only faced more and more ridicule from Nakamachi Chika and Orimoto Kaori, and she wouldn't have known how to respond.

“You’re still too lenient. These people will only take advantage of you,” Tsukikawa Shu said.

“So thank you anyway,” Yui Yuigahama said.

"I just thought they were too noisy," Tsukikawa Shuu said.

“Chika is right, you really are a tsundere.” Yui Yuigahama laughed.

"Alright then." Tsukikawa Shu smiled as well. "Actually, I probably liked you long before we officially met."

—When I was watching anime before I time-traveled.

"Eh???"

Yui Yuigahama was quite surprised, paused for a moment, then blushed slightly, unsure of what to say in the face of this direct attack. She could only shrink her neck, tuck her hands into her sleeves, turn her face to the side, and look at her toes.

What should she do now? How should she answer? Yui Yuigahama remained confused.

She is now facing the biggest choice of her life.

Chapter 122 So...shall we give it a try first?

Tsukikawa Shu didn't say much. Now that it was almost bedtime, he gathered up the firewood around him to prevent the fire from spreading.

The temperature gradually dropped at night. Tsukikawa Shu and the others were high enough to withstand the cold, but Yuigahama Yui was not so lucky.

"We're going to sleep now."

After glancing at Tsukikawa Shu, Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately understood, put her arms around Fujiwara Chika and Goto Ichiri's shoulders, and led them to the other side with a smile.

"Darling, we won't be sleeping with you tonight~" Fujiwara Chika said to Tsukikawa Shuu, holding her hand up to her mouth with a meaningful smile.

"Hmm...we're going to sleep now." Goto Ichiri, who had been caught up in the whole thing, blinked and looked at Tsukikawa Shuu.

"You guys go ahead," Tsukikawa Shuu said with a smile.

Yui Yuigahama remained seated with her neck hunched, wrapped her clothes tightly around herself, and rubbed her cool arms.

She only wore a thin school uniform jacket when she came out, and she started to feel cold in the evening.

The temperature in the Otherworld is very unstable, and it will be even more difficult if your level is not high enough.

At that moment, a coat was gently draped over her shoulders.

She tugged at her clothes and discovered it was men's clothing.

Tsukikawa Shuu took off his coat and draped it over Yui Yuigahama.

"Thank you." Yui Yuigahama smiled.

However, after glancing at Tsukikawa Shu, she immediately looked away, not daring to look directly into Tsukikawa Shu's eyes.

What do you plan to do next time you enter the Otherworld?

Tsukikawa Shuu asked, "Next time you teleport, you'll appear at any random location."

“I don’t know…” Yui Yuigahama said.

Tsukikawa Shuu's experience card can only be used by those who have entered into a marriage contract.

The two sat in silence for a while longer.

The flames crackled and popped, scattering sparks.

Yui Yuigahama sat on a rock, her legs stretched taut, her toes dangling, touching each other before separating. She kept her head down, appearing extremely nervous.

"Do you hate me?" Tsukikawa Shuu looked at the dark sky.

Yui Yuigahama shook her head.

"Do you want to thank me?" Tsukikawa Shu asked again.

"Yes, you've done so much for me, I should thank you properly." Yui Yuigahama finally looked up and smiled.

"Then—do you like me?" Tsukikawa Shu looked at her.

Yui Yuigahama lowered her head again, not answering immediately, but her face grew increasingly red.

Finally, she nodded slightly.

Tsukikawa Shu laughed.

"Can you accept that?" Tsukikawa Shu asked, "Living with Hirazuka-sensei and the others."

As for Yui Yuigahama, Tsukikawa Shu originally didn't want to develop her into a member of his family. The main reason was that the outside world couldn't accept the concept of having a harem, and Tsukikawa Shu was also too lazy to pursue these difficult girls.

However, now that Yui Yuigahama has entered the Otherworld, the biggest obstacle—her mindset—has been shattered, so it's worth trying.

After all, Yui Yuigahama's rating is also S. For each person she enters into a marriage contract with, the system will give her an incredible talent and a lot of rewards. Naturally, the more members in her harem, the better.

"..."

After listening to Tsukikawa Shuu's words, Yui Yuigahama still thought for a while.

"I still... feel it's too fast." She looked at Tsukikawa Shu.

"Shall we give it a try first?"

Tsukikawa Shuya looked at her and said, "Anyway, the inner world will be open for fifteen days. I won't force you if you don't agree. After we leave the secret realm, I'll help you level up so that you'll have some self-defense capabilities when you enter the inner world next time."

"That's too much trouble..." Yui Yuigahama whispered, her voice barely audible.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just leave you to die the next time you enter the inner world."

Tsukikawa Shu laughed, "We're still members of the Service Club, after all. We're friends, right?"

“Actually, you could have easily forced me to obey you,” Yui Yuigahama said. “I can’t resist anything right now.”

“I’m not that kind of person,” Tsukikawa Shuu said with a smile. “Besides, I still want a harmonious family.”

Yui Yuigahama was still blushing, rubbing her fingers. If she weren't wearing round-toed leather shoes, her toes would probably be curled up right now, trying to help alleviate her embarrassment.

"Hmm... well, let's give it a try. I can agree to date you."

Yui Yuigahama finally looked up, her face flushed, and then emphasized seriously, "Of course, it's only for lovers! Let's spend some time together, date before we get married... Anyway, I'll give you an answer before I go back."

"What can a couple possibly see in less than half a month of being lovers?" Tsukikawa Shu chuckled inwardly, but her expression remained impassive as she simply smiled and said...

"Okay, it's all up to you."

"Yeah." Yuigahama Yui nodded.
