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

"..."

Kitamura Motoyasu and the others felt a mix of emotions as they watched the dissenting comments on the screen.

Anger and jealousy were intertwined, and overall, it was a very unpleasant experience.

"These guys actually dare to approve of someone like Tsukikawa Shu?!"

Kawasumi had already crushed the glass in her hand.

Both Ren Amaki and Motoyasu Kitamura looked grim.

"Please leave, we will not cooperate with you."

At this moment, Ichi Nijika also spoke.

Chapter 180

Of course, compared to Tsukikawa Shuu's indifference, Ijichi Nijika had already expressed her meaning very politely and tactfully.

Something was wrong. Although most players still supported Kitamura Motoyasu and his group, Kitamura Motoyasu backed down at this point.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later," Kitamura Motoyasu said. "I want to see what he'll do next. If we can't win in the secret realm, we'll all die together. In any case, the responsibility will fall on Tsukikawa Shuu!"

“It’s definitely not enough to just talk about it.” Tianmu Lian crossed his arms.

He never intended to come and negotiate, knowing all along that Tsukikawa Shuu would never agree.

"Are you just going to give up like this? Aren't you going to give this guy a taste of his own medicine and show him our stance?" Only Kawasumi Itsuki was very displeased.

But at this point, both Kitamura Motoyasu and Amagi Ren had retreated, so he had no choice but to give up.

……

Ijichi Nijika's rapid growth has also given some people confidence. Unlike before, the live broadcast room is no longer filled with sarcasm and verbal attacks against Tsukikawa Shu.

But for Kitamura Motoyasu, Amaki Ren, and Kawasumi Itsuki, this feud was now firmly established.

Compared to Ijichi Nijika, the growth of the others can only be described as appalling.

The level gap is getting bigger and bigger. A week after the secret realm opened, the monsters from level 10 to level 30 have been wiped out by Ijichi Niji Natsumi.

Faced with such a huge level difference, Kitamura Motoyasu, Amaki Ren, and Kawasumi Itsuki's team of more than a dozen people were completely helpless.

At first, you can gain experience by fighting lower-level monsters, but soon all the lowest-level monsters are wiped out.

Even so, only one person reached level 20, while the level differences among the others were enormous, ranging from levels 12 and 13 to levels 18 and 19.

A team like that was doomed to fail anyway.

In the following period, Kitamura Motoyasu, Amaki Ren, and Kawasumi Itsuki all gave up.

At this moment, the live stream was filled with lamentations.

"It's over, disaster is coming. How can a support character possibly defeat the final boss?"

"How come the highest-level support character ended up like this?! We're really doomed."

"Selfish and selfish, Tsukikawa Shu is going to kill us all!"

"There's nothing we can do now, let's just leave it to fate..."

……

……

Pessimistic messages are spreading.

However, many people are in a state of complacency.

Since all the experience is concentrated in Ichiji Nijika, it's hard to say she's not strong. Let's see what tricks she can pull.

Similarly, Kitamura Motoyasu, Amaki Ren, and Kawasumi Itsuki, the three strongest individuals from their respective towns, had run out of ideas to compete with Tsukikawa Shuu for resources. They were all coldly observing the situation, waiting for Ijichi Nijika to challenge the final boss.

"These two bastards, not only are they unwilling to cooperate, they've even blocked us!"

Kawasumi Itsuki crushed the cup again, furious. "I was actually hoping to see them make a fool of themselves!"

Kitamura Motoyasu and Amaki Ren also agreed with this.

It was truly agonizing not being able to see the actual situation, and they had absolutely no way of judging the strength of Tsukikawa Hiiragi and Ijichi Nijika.

Tsukikawa Shu and Ijichi Nijika had already blocked them out. They couldn't communicate with Tsukikawa Shu and Ijichi Nijika, nor could they check on their love situation. They could only wait, which created a lot of unease and anxiety out of thin air.

……

"Have you thought it through?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

"Ah? What's going on?"

Ichi Nijika put down the wild boar she had hunted for lunch, blinked, and looked at Tsukikawa Shuu on the system screen.

"It's about the contract. My marriage contract was sent to your warehouse a long time ago, and you should already know the details," Tsukikawa Shu said.

Ichi Nijika is a very nice girl. She has a lively and cheerful personality, and she is very organized when it comes to housework. She also cooks well and is definitely the type of virtuous wife and loving mother.

If we were outside, people who haven't experienced the Otherworld wouldn't accept a harem ending, and Tsukikawa Shuu wouldn't bother to follow it. But now that everyone's an Otherworld player, saying something like that is just a side thing.

As for whether the other party will agree, Tsukikawa Shu won't force it. Tsukikawa Shu still doesn't want her business (building a harem) to grow too big in the future, as it would be unpleasant if the people inside started arguing among themselves.

Ultimately, it all comes down to whether our values ​​align.

"Well..."

Ichi Niji Natsu put away her magic wand, turned her face away, and her eyes seemed to dart away.

"Are all the benefits mentioned above true?" she asked.

"The system confirms it's genuine," Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Is the Otherworld more dangerous than this secret realm?" Ichiji Nijika continued to ask.

“Yes, that’s for sure. Here you won’t have to worry about supplies at all, but in the Otherworld, food and water are always the most precious items that others pursue, and players don’t have many opportunities for development,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"That……"

Ichi Nijika was still conflicted, her head down, gently kicking the pebbles at her feet.

Over the course of so many days, Ijichi Nijika's attitude towards Tsukikawa Shuu has changed dramatically.

From initial disgust to gradually understanding the truth, he explores the true meaning of life with Tsukikawa Shuu (on a physical level, dissecting and gaining insights into those monsters).

The two of them can discuss cooking together (mainly because Tsukikawa Shu watches Ijichi Nijika cook, since Tsukikawa Shu won't get to eat any anyway).

Then, when Ichi Nijika discovered that Tsukikawa Shuu hadn't slept every night, but had been quietly watching her, she was touched and began to feel affection for him.

And then... this feeling of liking continued to deepen.

Just as Pochi-chan said, after getting to know her better, it seems that Tsukikawa Shu is indeed a very nice person!

Aside from the fact that she wants to build a harem, if you can accept that... Tsukikawa Shu really doesn't have any other flaws...

"It's not impossible..."

Ijichi Nijika hesitated for a long time before finally raising her head, "But I still hope we can have a process... If it's like Pochi-chan, it's too fast..."

"In short... I will give you an answer before the next official opening of the Otherworld."

Nijika Ichi asked cautiously, "So, is this okay?"

"It's too fast, you know."

Tsukikawa Shu smiled and said, "Anyway, when we go back, we can get to know each other better."

I became acquainted with Nijika Ichi in this world in less than half a month.

Trying to turn a stranger, and even a hostile girl, into your wife in just half a month is indeed too fast.

However, since Ichiji Nijika was willing to make the request, it basically means it's settled. The rest is just a matter of time.

Chapter 181 The Arrogant Rainbow Summer

"But let's make it clear, I haven't fallen for you yet," said Ichiji Nijika.

She paused for a moment, then muttered, "At least I haven't completely fallen in love with it."

"Okay, then I'll like it later." Tsukikawa Shu smiled.

If she really falls in love, how is she going to explain it to Goto Ichiri when she goes back? This is the problem that Ichichi Nijika is currently struggling with.

It's still the same as before. Every day, I grind monsters, level up, and refine my weapons and skills.

The pace of this secret realm is much faster than the original inner world. Within half a month, Ichiji Nijika had already refined an epic-level weapon.

Time quickly passed, and the last day of the secret realm arrived.
