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

"Ah, what are you doing?!" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm just helping you with the treatment," Tsukikawa Shu smiled.

"I don't want you to treat me!" Yui Yuigahama withdrew her finger and pouted, but there was no sign of resistance on her face. On the contrary, she seemed quite happy.

After a while, Yui Yuigahama finally wiped her hands on her apron.

"Done!"

Yui Yuigahama packed the prepared food into leaves and then served it to Tsukikawa Hiiragi.

"..."

A rice ball, still glistening with broth, was clearly too wet and almost fell apart. A heart was drawn on top of the rice ball with the ketchup, and then a mushy canned food was placed next to it, and that was lunch.

In addition, there were two bunches of fruit, their white, juicy flesh glistening in the sunlight.

Although it was simple, it still took Yui Yuigahama a lot of thought and time.

Looking at the lovingly prepared lunch, Tsukikawa Shuu really wanted to say, "Thank you for your kindness."

But I can't say now!

"Should we drizzle some soy sauce on the fruit?" Yui Yuigahama asked.

"no need……"

"Would you like some chili powder?" Yui Yuigahama asked again.

"No need!"

"What kind of culinary disasters are these?" Tsukikawa Shu thought to herself.

Chapter 129 Humiliation

No matter how Yui Yuigahama changed the seasonings, Tsukikawa Shuu always refused.

The only edible thing can't be wasted by Yuigahama Yui.

"Alright then." Yui Yuigahama picked up the skewered fruit.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah——"

She handed the fruit skewers to Tsukikawa Hiiragi.

The two sat together, and Yui Hihama fed Shu Tsukikawa.

Although Yui Yuigahama's cooking was really not very good, at least it wasn't poisonous.

Well, its advantage is that it's not poisonous.

After lunch, the group continued their journey deeper into the dense forest.

After traveling for another two hours, a bluestone road appeared, and the road was flat, with jungle growing along it.

Based on the experience gained in the previous area, we are now close to the boss's habitat.

The road ended in a dense thicket of bushes.

Tsukikawa Shu and the others exchanged glances, all preparing for battle.

Tsukikawa Shu parted the grass and saw an open space in front of her, with a huge spider web in the middle and a giant, multicolored spider in the center, its size comparable to that of a truck.

Noticing the grass being parted, the giant spider quickly turned around, its eight eyes fixed on Tsukikawa Shu and the others.

Boss: Rainbow Tarantula

【Level: 45】

It's still a battle of numbers.

Goto Ichiri plucked the strings of his harp, activating the control, and immediately followed by the sound of Fujiwara Chika's sniper shot, which struck the boss head-on.

Then, Tsukikawa Hiiragi and Hiratsuka Shizuka raised their weapons together.

Hiratsuka Shizuka punched the tarantula in the abdomen from below, while Tsukikawa Shuu used his katana to launch a skill from below, plunging the entire blade into the tarantula's head.

The tarantula let out a mournful hiss.

……

After a brief battle, the group successfully captured the Rainbow Tarantula.

The enormous body crashed to the ground, burning away all the spider silk along with it.

Successfully obtained an epic treasure chest.

Opening the treasure chest yielded a considerable amount of resources.

You have opened an epic treasure chest.

You have obtained 50000 Refined Ore.

"It's refined ore again, not weapons." Tsukikawa Shuu was still somewhat disappointed.

However, obtaining a considerable amount of refined ore is not bad.

Shortly after defeating the boss, the second area also ended, and Tsukikawa Shu and the others were teleported back to the plaza.

Upon returning this time, I looked around and noticed that the number of players in the secret realm had decreased significantly. The second area was much more difficult than the first, and more players died unexpectedly here.

Many teams started with ten members, but now they have been reduced by half, and the remaining members are all injured.

At this moment, Tsukikawa Shuu saw several familiar figures who had been teleported back.

However, there were eight people in the group when they set off, but only four returned. A male and a female passerby from the original group were missing.

You don't need to guess what happened.

Moreover, the condition of the jade rope has become even worse.

He was already lying on the ground, trying to get up, but he didn't seem to have much strength left, so he decided to stay lying down to conserve his energy.

A lot of worms had just been removed from my body, but now they are starting to multiply again. Small white worms are wriggling in my wounds, and some are even squeezing out of the bandages binding the wounds and falling to the ground.

The other three were also so hungry they could barely walk.

Now they finally understand how terrible the plight of being on the verge of starvation is.

If they don't eat soon, they will die.

"Hey... is there any way we can find food?" Another boy in the group asked, his voice trembling with fear.

They hadn't eaten or drunk anything for two whole days. If this continued, they would soon be too weak to even walk, let alone survive.

“Where can we find food now?” Chika Nakamachi said.

Everyone fell silent.

After a while.

The other teams around them had already started cooking again, and when the aroma wafted over, they finally couldn't resist.

Hunger had forced their reason to give way.

“I say, how about... we go ask Tsukikawa Shuu for some food…” Orimoto Kaori said.

"Huh? Ask them for food? Are you stupid? Don't you know they just want to humiliate us!" Chika Nakamachi said angrily.

“But…we have no other choice now…if this continues, we’ll just starve to death! We haven’t eaten for over two days!” Orimoto Kaori said.

"..."

Faced with the threat of death, Chika Nakamachi had no choice but to speak out.

"Anyway, let's go take a look first. At least we can get some food... If we can get food, dignity doesn't matter, right?" another boy said.

After discussing it, the four of them decided that the three who were able to move would go to find Tsukikawa Shuu together.

As for Yu Sheng, he had a fever and was weak, so it was questionable whether he could work.

After making their decision, the three of them walked heavily toward Tsukikawa Hiiragi, enduring the aromas of food wafting along the way as they made their way to their destination.

Tsukikawa Shuu and the others had a very lavish dinner as usual.

Canned beef, white rice, various vegetables, and jade rope—things they desperately wanted today but couldn't have. In their pursuit of food, they even sacrificed two people's black fruit.

Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others were cooking, while Tsukikawa Shu was comfortably lying on Yuigahama Yui's lap.

"Come."

Yui Yuigahama is feeding him fruit.

Their relationship improved significantly, and they became increasingly close.

Seeing the two people being intimate, the three of them looked at each other, unsure of what to say, and just stood there.

Yui Yuigahama looked up and saw three familiar people standing in front of her, and she was startled, almost not recognizing them.

Because at this moment, the three people's skin was dull, their hair was messy, they had lost a lot of weight, and their eyes were lifeless. They looked like three paper figures that could be blown over by the wind at any moment. Moreover, their faces were all more or less injured, which were scratched by tree branches when they were trying to avoid the swarm of insects.

Yui Yuigahama nudged Shu Tsukikawa.

"Ok?"
