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

"Hira, are you really going to do this?" Yui looked nervously at the mixed-gender and women's bath areas, which were separated only by a bamboo wall.

"Are you going to leave me alone to go on a date?" Tsukikawa Shu asked with a smile.

“This is indeed not good…” Yui Yuigahama stammered.

"But don't do it in a place like this... Hey, Hiiragi, wait a minute... Waaah!"

However, before she could resist, Tsukikawa Shu had already dragged her into the bath.

Despite being somewhat reluctant, she was still forced to comply by Tsukikawa Hiiragi.

They hadn't even knocked down that bamboo wall yet.

"Wait... If we get this close, Yuki will notice..." Yui Yuigahama said hurriedly.

"Then you should keep your voice down." However, Tsukikawa Shuu revealed a mischievous smile.

"..."

With no other option, and unable to resist, Yui Yuigahama could only silently endure it.

I was on tenterhooks. I tried my best not to make any noise.

……

Yukino Yukinoshita, on the other side, soaked in the water for a while longer, also somewhat puzzled.

She was sitting on the other side of the bamboo wall at that moment.

"Why did Yui take so long?" Yukino Yukinoshita smoothed the stray strands of hair that had fallen from her bun, looking quite puzzled.

At that moment, she also sensed something unusual about the water ripples around her.

Are there people in the bathhouse on the other side? She looked at the bamboo wall.

Faintly, one could still hear some sounds.

However, the bamboo wall provides absolute privacy, and no one on the other side can peek into this side.

“It seems this hot spring resort isn’t deserted after all,” Yukino Yukinoshita pondered for a moment. “They probably arrived too early.”

That's the only possibility.

Chapter 152 He cheated on me... Isn't that a good thing?!

After a while, Yui Yuigahama returned to Yukino Yukinoshita's side, her face flushed and wrapped in a bath towel.

His feet were even a little unsteady.

When she saw Yukino Yukinoshita sitting next to the bamboo wall, she was startled and felt uneasy and apprehensive.

Could she have heard us? After all, we were sitting so close...

No, no, I didn't make a sound at all. I just covered my mouth and held it in the whole time. Logically speaking, Yui shouldn't have been able to find out! Yui thought to herself.

"What did you do?"

Seeing that Yui Yuigahama was still not coming down into the bath, Yukino Yukinoshita asked curiously, "If you need any help, I can help you."

"Ahaha... It's nothing, it's just... um..." Yui Yuigahama scratched her face, not yet thinking of how to explain or find an excuse to get by.

"Are you on your period?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, however, directly provided Yui Yuigahama with a plausible reason.

"Ah... um, I just felt uncomfortable while soaking, so I went out to take care of it, ahahaha..." Yui Yuigahama laughed awkwardly.

"Then let's not soak anymore, let's go out and rest for a while."

Yukino Yukinoshita's expression was very serious, and she immediately stood up. "You should have told me first."

"Eh? No, no, I'm already fine..." Yui Yuigahama said hurriedly.

"No, we have to go out and check." Yukino Yukinoshita said, grabbing Yui Yuigahama's hand.

"I told you it's okay..." Yui Yuigahama was on the verge of tears.

I just finished some important business on the other side and rushed back. I haven't even showered yet...

However, Yukino Yukinoshita remained persistent and dragged Yui Yuigahama out with her.

There was no turning back now, so Yuigahama Yui could only be dragged out.

"I really need to have some opinions of my own..." Yui thought to herself.

Whether it was being forced to do something by Tsukikawa Hiiragi just now, or being forcibly dragged out by Yukino Yukinoshita now...

Yukino Yukinoshita checked her over and thoughtfully gave Yui Yuigahama painkillers and sanitary napkins as well.

Yui Yuigahama was naturally fine, but this time she could only accept the other party's kindness.

And you can't soak in the hot spring anymore...

However, even at night, there is no peace.

The three of them slept on tatami mats together and stayed in the same room.

After a busy day, Yukino Yukinoshita was exhausted. She chatted with someone, lay down, and soon fell asleep.

Yui Yuigahama yawned, pulled up the covers, and prepared to go to sleep as well.

"Yui."

At that moment, Tsukikawa Shuu looked at Yuigahama Yui and lifted a corner of the blanket.

The intention couldn't be more obvious.

"...No, no—Xiaoxue is asleep."

Yui Yuigahama didn't make a sound, she just moved her lips.

Yui Yuigahama regretted coming out with Tsukikawa Shuu.

Tsukikawa Shuu's high-intensity exercise is too much for me to handle... Waaah, I should have brought out Hiratsuka-sensei too, or Fujiwara Chika... At the very least, Goto Ichiri could have helped share the load, so I wouldn't be the only one being pushed to my limits.

Of the four family members living in harmony, Yui Yuigahama and Ichiri Goto are both indifferent and not very interested in daily life, while Chika Fujiwara and Shizuka Hiratsuka are very interested in these things and often take pride in who can conquer Hiiragi Tsukikawa when doing serious business.

Tsukikawa Shuu completely ignored Yuigahama Yui's refusal, patted the tatami mat beneath her, and smiled.

"..." Yui Yuigahama looked at Tsukikawa Shuu.

However, Tsukikawa Shu still seemed determined not to let it go.

After about ten seconds, Yui Yuigahama got up and tiptoed over Yukino Yukinoshita to walk over to Tsukikawa Shuu.

"Let's get this straight, you're not allowed to wake Yuki," Yui Yuigahama whispered. "And then... just once,... ten minutes."

“I’ll get upset if there are too many,” Yui Yuigahama said, pouting.

"Ten minutes...that might be a bit difficult." This time, Tsukikawa Shu looked completely innocent. "That's too short."

"I don't care," Yui Yuigahama said angrily. "It's your fault for always wanting it for so long. If I don't get it, I'm going to sleep."

"Hmm, I'll try my best, I should be able to do it!" Tsukikawa Shuu said confidently.

However, the exact number of minutes until the end remains unknown.

……

……

Ichi Nijika returned by tram.

She checked her phone and was certain that she had captured evidence of Tsukikawa Shu's "cheating".

"That scumbag! He's dating Bochi-chan while he's hugging and cuddling with other girls." Nijika Ichichi got angrier and angrier as she watched. "He even put his hands inside her clothes!"

Fortunately, my intuition was sharp enough that I had already noticed that this guy was not normal. After two follow-up investigations, I found that he was a complete scumbag!

"How dare they deceive Pochi-chan! I'm going to get an explanation!" Ijiji Nijika said angrily as she walked towards Goto Ichiri's house.

"What happened?"

Goto Ichiri asked.

At that moment, Goto Ichiri was practicing guitar at home when he was suddenly called out by Ijichi Nijika with a phone call.

"There's something I need to tell you," Ichiji Nijika said very seriously.

The two were standing on the road when Ichiji Nijika went to the vending machine and bought a drink for each of them.

"Here you go." Ichiji Nikka handed a bottle of coffee to Goto Ichiri.

"Thank you..." Goto Ichiri accepted the coffee.

The two people sat down on a bench by the roadside.

"What do you think of your boyfriend?" Ichiji Nijika asked seriously after taking a sip of her drink.

"Tsukikawa-kun... he's doing fine." Goto Ichiri blinked, not understanding why Iji Chi Nijika would suddenly ask such a question.

"Do you love him very much?" Ichiji Nijika asked.

“Hmm.” Goto Ichiri nodded gently. “Anyway, you see, no one else will like me… He’s been pretty good to me…”

"Then I have to tell you something, so you should be prepared." Ichiji Nijika finished her drink in one gulp, then slammed the bottle down on the chair, startling Goto Ichiri.
