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

……

[Participants: Kawasumi Itsuki and his team]

"..."

Kawasumi Itsuki and Amaki Ren remained silent.

They all hurriedly opened their attribute panels and backpacks without prior arrangement.

Both of them had their experience points deducted, causing them to drop below level 30, and the amount of refined ore in their backpacks also decreased.

"Why can't we get a reward? We've been working really hard to train our teammates too," Kawasumi said.

“Where else can you find something like this! It took me a lot of time to make!” Tianmu Lian said.

Kawasumi, furious, crushed the cup in her hand.

However, no matter how angry they were, they couldn't change reality.

They not only failed to receive the rewards that belonged to the participants, but they also lost the 1000 experience points and 5% experience boost that all players were entitled to. Instead, they had a lot of experience points and refined ore deducted from their accounts.

All that's left is impotent rage.

[This instance of the secret realm has ended. All players will be teleported back to their original world. Please wait for the next opening of the Inner World.]

With the system notification, a white light appeared before Ichiji Nijika's eyes.

A white light enveloped our vision.

When she opened her eyes again, Ichiki Nikka saw the familiar ceiling.

I am lying in my own bed.

"call--"

Ichi Nijika let out a soft breath, then glanced at the clock placed beside the bed.

Not much time had passed; it seemed that the inner world and the original world operated under two different time rules.

“It was quite tiring in the Otherworld.” Ijichi Nijika lay back down, her long yellow hair cascading down.

She recalled her conversation with Tsukikawa Shu in the secret realm.

Oh no! What should I do if I think I've fallen for Tsukikawa Shu?

Before entering the secret realm, I confidently told Goto Ichiri that it was impossible for me to fall in love with Tsukikawa Shu!

So what's going on now? Is she competing with Bochi for a man? Will Bochi get jealous?

Don't be fooled by Pochi-chan's previous comments that it's good for Tsukikawa Shu to have as many women as possible when he's building a harem. After all, she's a woman, and she'll still feel jealous when she sees her man with other women!

How should I deal with Boqi-chan?

How can I explain the truth to her?

Not only might it make Goto Ichiri jealous, but I also can't bring myself to say it!

Ichi Nijika was very conflicted.

"Ugh! This is so annoying!" Ichiji Nijika clutched her head, utterly annoyed.

It's all my fault for speaking too confidently back then; I never expected it to be a misunderstanding.

Now that she's going to belong to Tsukikawa Shuu, how is she going to explain this to Goto Ichiri?

Just then, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside.

"Ah...ah...Arno, I'm sorry!"

"I...I...I want to find Hongxia..."

He stammered, his voice trembling.

There was no one else but Goto Ichiri, who was extremely socially anxious.

"Oh. She's upstairs."

Then came the voice of Ijichi Seika.

As footsteps echoed upstairs, Ijichi Hoshika, with a toothpick still dangling from her mouth, pushed open the door. "Nijika, Pochi is looking for you."

"Ahhh... Arigato!"

Goto Ichiri quickly bowed and thanked him.

"It's alright, it's alright. You two have a good chat, I won't disturb you." Ichiji Hoshika said, closing the door behind her as she left.

Ichika looked at Goto Ichiri, completely at a loss for words, her heart filled with shame.

Goto Ichiri was originally socially awkward, and if the other person didn't speak, she didn't know how to start the conversation.

"So, how are you doing over there in the secret realm?"

Finally, Goto Ichiri spoke first.

"Ah...it's alright, um." Ichiji Nijika stammered, not daring to say more.

"Um, how are things going between you and Hiiragi-kun?" Goto Ichiri asked tentatively.

Previously, Ijichi Nijika had shown extreme disgust towards Tsukikawa Shu, and Goto Ichiri was genuinely afraid that her friend would clash with Tsukikawa Shu in the Otherworld.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw my friend return safely.

"Well... it's alright, hahaha." Ichiji Nijika turned her face away, laughing awkwardly, trying to brush it off.

"Are you really alright?" Goto Ichiri was still very worried.

She even took Ichiji Nijika's hand and said earnestly, word by word, "If you still have any misunderstandings about Hiiragi-kun... or if there's any conflict between you, you must tell me!"

"I...I will go and explain the situation to Hiiragi-kun!" Goto Ichiri said with a very serious expression.

“Uh, that’s not necessary.” Ichiji Nijika thought for a moment. “I didn’t have any conflict with him.”

“We still get along quite well,” said Ichiji Nijika.

"Then... will you still cause trouble for Tsukikawa Shuu?" Goto Ichiri asked with great concern.

“Of course not!” Ichiji Nijika said.

Should I explain the situation to Goto Ichiri? Should I tell him that I'm also about to form a contract with Tsukikawa Shu?

Waaah, it's so embarrassing! I can't bring myself to say it. I made such a bold statement before, and now it's hard to back down.

“Hiiragi-kun is a very nice person.” Goto Ichiri felt that Ijichi Nijika was still just giving her the runaround, and said anxiously, “It’s all because Nijika is too impatient. She keeps thinking that Tsukikawa Hiiragi is a bad person.”

"How did it become my fault?" Ichiji Nijika said with her hands on her hips. "In that situation, anyone would think it was impossible."

"Who knew there was such a thing as the afterlife!"

"Anyway, I will take Nijika over to apologize! If Nijika offends Hiiragi-kun, I will take responsibility with you!" Goto Ichiri said.

"Sigh, I already said no," said Ichiji Nijika helplessly.

Ichi Nijika doesn't know how to explain this anymore.

In the end, he couldn't explain it clearly, because he simply couldn't bring himself to say it.

……

……

Tsukikawa Shuu opened her eyes and saw the familiar ceiling of her home.

I glanced at the time; not much time had passed.

"The next task is to gain Ichiji Nijika's full trust and then get her to sign a contract."

Ijichi Nijika is also an S-class character, and after signing a contract, she will definitely be able to obtain a pretty good talent skill.

He stood up, and suddenly, his phone vibrated beside the bed.

Upon checking the number, I realized it was an unfamiliar number, so I hung up immediately.

Although the number has decreased, some wealthy or powerful families still call, and Tsukikawa Shuu hangs up on them without any hesitation.

Currently, Tsukikawa Shu is the strongest in the Underworld in terms of level and strength. Even the powerful and wealthy families who are controlled by others in the Underworld dare not offend Tsukikawa Shu. If they displease him, it will be a matter that money and power cannot solve.

However, after Tsukikawa Shuu was killed, the other side called again.

Tsukikawa Shu died again.

A few seconds later, they hit it a third time.

"..."

I don't know which fool was behind this, but this time Tsukikawa Shuu has been blacklisted.
