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

"She's got all the qualities of a good wife and mother. She's a completely different personality from Ichiri Goto."

"After all, Pochi-chan doesn't know how to take care of others. On the contrary, because she's simple-minded and slow-witted, she often needs others to help her."

Nijika Ijichi is a pretty good girl, otherwise she wouldn't be called "Shimokitazawa Archangel" by the audience. Such a good personality is something that is hard to come by.

……

And so, Tsukikawa Shuu gazed at Ijichi Nijika. Until dawn the next day.

When Ichi Nijika was exposed to the sun, she finally got up, still half asleep.

"It's already morning..." She rubbed her eyes and stretched.

The banana leaf covering her slipped off and fell to the ground.

"Let's get started," Tsukikawa Shuu said calmly. "Let's try to reach level 20 today."

"Oh..." Ichiji Nijika was still a little dazed and stood up.

However, when she got up, she realized that she was still completely naked.

Tsukikawa Shuu saw everything again!

"Hentai!"

Enraged, she hurriedly picked up the banana leaves from the ground and used them to cover her body, which had long since lost its privacy.

"Get dressed, don't waste time."

Tsukikawa Shuu still looked completely indifferent.

"..."

Ijichi Niji Natsuya had no way to deal with Tsukikawa Shuu, so she could only hold the banana leaf in one hand and take the clothes off the wooden rack to put on.

Chapter 171

Who told me to forget I was naked after just one night?

I suppose he brought it on himself.

Ichi Nijika's face was still flushed, and it took a long time for the redness to gradually fade.

"Anyway... don't think I'll forgive you!"

Ijichi Nijika, seemingly both embarrassed and angry, said, "I'll tell Pochi-chan when we get back! And Pochi-chan definitely won't forgive you!"

"I think Pochi-chan will use her clumsy methods and her dull mind to rack her brains and try her best to get the two of us together," Tsukikawa Shuu said, shrugging.

"..."

Ijichi Nijika's words were naturally spoken in anger. She was simply unable to scold Tsukikawa Shuu or take action because her body had been seen naked, so she could only start a fight with Goto Ichiri.

After two days in the secret realm, Ichiji Nijika also made great progress, and her level quickly reached level 20.

Moreover, many of the monsters within the secret realm have also been wiped out.

In particular, monsters in the levels 10-15 and 15-20 have gradually disappeared, or only a pitifully small number remain, and a gap has begun to appear in the monster levels.

……

Meanwhile, Kitamura Motoyasu and his group, after two days of hard work, had all reached levels 6 or 7.

At this time, they were still annihilating a nest of level 5 red-eyed giant rats.

Mages and archers stayed at a distance, providing fire support, while warriors stood at the front, facing the monsters' attacks.

"Fireball!"

Someone stretched out their hands, condensed a fireball, and then shot it out.

However, because of the great distance, the fireball struck a soldier standing in front of it directly.

"Ahhhh!"

At this moment, the player was still holding a giant rat's teeth with his sword. After being hit like this, he felt the pain and immediately dropped his sword and ran away with his head in his hands.

"Hey! Do you guys even care about your formation?!" Tianmu Lian roared.

However, all this anger was to no avail. After the sword-wielding player suffered the pain, dropped his weapon, and fled, the entire formation fell apart.

The formation was breached, and all the giant rats swarmed in.

"Run!"

"Where's the cover fire? Are you guys just freeloaders?!"

The remaining few men standing at the front also dared not fight and fled in disarray, abandoning their armor and weapons.

In the midst of the chaos, the archers standing behind also frantically fired bullets and arrows, trying to support these people.

However, things didn't go as planned. Because they were also afraid of dying, they stood far away, and only a few of their skills were able to accurately hit the monsters.

"You fucking missed!"

Some people cursed and swore, but only turned around to block the giant rat's attack. When they turned back, they found an arrow stuck in their buttocks.

"You yourselves must stand in front!"

This completely baffled the archers and mages behind them.

In short, after two days of collaboration, the team's cooperation was a complete mess.

They can handle bullying weaker monsters, but when they encounter higher-level monsters, they're like a scattered mess, each fighting their own battles.

This time, the giant rat nest failed due to poor cooperation.

"I'm exhausted. How can these guys be so stupid? I'm giving them orders myself and they still mess up." Kawasumi Itsuki gulped down several mouthfuls of his drink and slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Didn't I tell you to spread out and attack different targets?!"

However, the four men in the group, armed with bows and arrows or firearms, looked at each other, angry but unable to speak out.

The situation is different, and there are many unexpected situations. In many cases, we cannot fight according to Kawasumi Itsuki's opinions, and Kawasumi Itsuki simply cannot command so many people at the same time.

Moreover, in many cases, these three so-called "mentors" didn't even understand the habits of the monsters, yet they were sent charging forward with great fanfare. When the battle failed, all the blame was placed on them.

But they were just beginners after all, and they were still thinking about clearing the secret realm. They didn't have any other good options at the moment, so they could only endure it.

"They don't even seem as good as Tsukikawa Shu's team, which only had one person," someone muttered to themselves.

Of course, these words must not be heard by the other three "mentors," otherwise the consequences would be severe.

"What's going on..." Kitamura Motoyasu also looked displeased.

"Hey, Ren Amaki, can't your team members stand in front? You're soldiers!" Kawasumi Itsuki shouted angrily.

"Why should we hold off the monsters while you guys deal damage from behind? Our warrior class's damage output is already lower than yours, and our experience is naturally lower too. I'd say you should give way a little more!" Tianmu Lian was also furious.

"Hmph, whatever class you get is what you get. Who told you not to get pure DPS classes?" Kawasumi Itsuki said smugly.

“If it weren’t for my men blocking the way, would you have had a chance to deal damage? You would have died in no time!” Tianmu Lian said.

Despite the agreement that everyone should cooperate, everyone ended up doing their own thing.

"Hey, can you all stop arguing?"

Finally, Kitamura Motoyasu couldn't hold back any longer and reminded him, "Look at the system display, Tsukikawa Shu has broken through again."

The other two then stopped arguing and hurriedly opened the system interface.

Then I saw the message that Ichi Nijika had reached level 20.

"How did this guy level up so fast?" Kawasumi Itsuki exclaimed in surprise.

“I think we’re just fighting amongst ourselves,” Kitamura Motoyasu said. “If we could cooperate properly, we wouldn’t be falling behind.”

"A support character can level up so fast..." Kawasumi stared at the level of 20, feeling a surge of jealousy.

They're a damage-dealing team, how could they lose to a support?

It must be the result of their infighting. If they all just focused on leveling up, they could kick this support player off the court in no time.

"I think we shouldn't argue anymore, otherwise this support player might end up taking first place," Tianmu Lian said.

"She dares?" Kawasumi said unhappily.

"Haha, no matter how high a support's level is, their actual damage output is not good. At most, they can only stay alive. We still have to rely on us more." Kitamura Motoyasu also shrugged.

"Then let's move on to the next stage as soon as possible," Tianmu Lian said impatiently. "If we keep grinding those level 5 and below monsters from the first stage, when will we ever level up quickly?"

"Heh, didn't these people struggle to even defeat a group of level 5 red-eyed giant rats?" Kawasumi said sarcastically.

"Isn't it because you guys keep stealing our experience points because you have high damage output?" Tianmu Lian said angrily.

"Alright, alright, how about this? Kawasumi Itsuki and I, being the two teams with high DPS, will give you some more monsters to farm, okay?" Kitamura Motoyasu said, "One-tenth of the monsters, is that alright?"

Chapter 172 Then let's not play anymore.

“Kawasumi Itsuki and I will give up one-tenth of the monsters to you, and you can just hold them off from attacking. Is that alright?” Kitamura Motoyasu said.

This is a compromise.

The rewards for completing the dungeon are based on the amount of damage dealt. Originally, Kitamura Motoyasu and Kawasumi Itsuki both wanted to take advantage of their class to level up more and acquire more resources so that they could get more rewards at the end of the dungeon.

However, Tian Mulian then objected, "Why should I be the one who gets the most injuries while standing in front of others, yet receive the least reward?"
