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

"Oh..." Goto Ichiri walked in, closed and locked the door, and then checked it again.

The scene of the battle in the entryway is still vivid in my mind; that was the result of not locking the door properly.

Speaking of which, why did Hiiragi-kun's heart beat faster after just one glance today? Goto Ichiri touched his heart, wondering what could be causing it.

For a moment, Goto Ichiri also blushed.

Logically speaking, after spending so much time with Tsukikawa Shu, this feeling of embarrassment should have passed long ago...

I don't know why, but seeing Tsukikawa Shu today gave me a unique sense of novelty and a completely new feeling; to be precise, it should be described as a feeling of liking.

"It seems to be working..."

Seeing Goto Ichiri's state, Tsukikawa Shuu realized the effect of the "Succubus" talent.

"Very effective?" Goto Ichiri didn't quite understand.

Tsukikawa Shuu simply smiled and didn't offer any further explanation at this moment.

After taking off his shoes, Goto Ichiri followed Tsukikawa Shu into the living room.

"What exactly does Hiiragi-kun want from me today?" Goto Ichiri wondered.

Or are they just going about their daily activities? It doesn't seem like it.

It seems that Fujiwara Chika came to keep Tsukikawa Shu company yesterday. Logically speaking, after a whole day of hard work yesterday, Tsukikawa Shu will most likely be in a state of deep meditation all day today.

She was treated equally, but Tsukikawa Shuu knew she wasn't good at dealing with this kind of thing, so she spent more of her energy on eating and drinking, and her daily activities became just an extra and not too intense.

Of course, sometimes Tsukikawa Shuu would play pranks on herself.

In short, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be called over today.

But when he reached the living room door, Goto Ichiri paused in surprise.

"Hongxia?"

She stared blankly at Ichiji Nijika, who was already sitting inside.

"Ah, Pochi-chan!"

Ijichi Nijika forced a smile, then pointed to the low table opposite her, "Poch-chan, sit here."

"Oh……"

Goto Ichiri didn't quite understand, but followed Ijichi Nijika's instructions and sat down opposite her.

"I'll go cut some fruit," Tsukikawa Shuu said.

Then, Tsukikawa Shu went out and closed the door behind him.

"..."

Goto Ichiri rubbed his hands together, looked away, somewhat at a loss, and didn't know what to say.

"...Would you like a glass of water?"

A brief silence fell, the atmosphere a little awkward, before Ichiji Nijika raised the kettle.

"it is good."

Goto Ichiri hurriedly took the cup over.

"..."

"..."

However, after pouring the water, Goto Ichiri looked at the swaying liquid in the glass, and the two fell silent again.

The two of them often spent time alone together before, but it never felt this awkward... Goto Ichiri's mind raced.

In the past, Ijichi Nijika had been the one to lead the conversations. Although neither of them felt lonely, it was mostly thanks to Ijichi Nijika.

Now that Ichiji Nijika is silent, the two of them don't know what to talk about.

But then again, why is Ijichi Nijika here with Tsukikawa Shu today? Doesn't she dislike Tsukikawa Shu?

Besides, it seems unlikely that Tsukikawa Shu wouldn't let a girl she doesn't get along with in... What exactly happened? What is Ijichi Nijika trying to do?

She kept her fingers clenched, afraid to move or speak.

To ease the awkwardness, she could only pick up the cup, drink water, put the cup down, and then pick it up again to drink water.

Back and forth.

Meanwhile, Ichi Nijika was also incredibly embarrassed, her fingers already twisted together under the low table.

What should I do? I still haven't figured out how to explain this to Goto Ichiri.

Should we be direct? Or can we think of a better, more tactful way to express it?

"Um... why is Nijika here with Hiiragi-kun today?"

Finally, Goto Ichiri still asked, "Didn't Nijika say she wouldn't associate with Hiiragi-kun?"

"Ah... well, hahaha..." After hearing what she said, Ichiji Nijika found it even harder to speak.

How am I supposed to explain this? How am I supposed to express this?! We even signed the contract last night...

The two faced each other again, and remained silent for a while before Tsukikawa Shu returned with the cut fruit.

"Ok?"

Tsukikawa Shuu sat down beside them, watching the two people who were speechless.

"Um... what's the matter that you asked me to come here today?" Goto Ichiri asked timidly.

"Uh... Nijika hasn't said anything yet?" Tsukikawa Shuu asked, a little surprised.

"Huh? What does she want to say?" Goto Ichiri blinked, confused.

"How can I say that!" said Ichiji Nijika.

Then, she glared at Tsukikawa Shuu and said, "You speak for me!"

Then she turned her back.

Only in this way can she avoid losing her composure in front of her friends.

After all, she was the one who had previously vowed that she would not associate with Tsukikawa Shu and that it was even more impossible for her to fall in love with Tsukikawa Shu.

"Is such that."

Tsukikawa Shuu had no choice but to let him explain.

“Last night, Nijika signed a contract with me,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

Goto Ichiri blinked and paused, stunned.

"What contract?" she asked, puzzled.

“The same contract as yours,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

Then, Tsukikawa Shu recounted the events in general terms.

"..."

Goto Ichiri didn't react for a moment.

Almost a minute later, she screamed.

"Eh?!!!!"

"You mean, Nijika is like me now?" Goto Ichiri looked at Ijichi Nijika over there. "She...she agreed? She's Hiiragi-kun's wife now too?"

"Ah! Don't say it out loud!"

Ichi Nijika then turned around, her face full of shame.

"I'm sorry, Pochi-chan. I went too far with my words before, so I don't know how to explain it to you anymore."

Seeing Ichika's state, Goto Ichiri panicked.

"No...it's okay...it's really okay, I didn't take it to heart..." Goto Ichiri hurriedly explained.

However, because he was bad with words, his few words did not have a real comforting effect.

"That's how it is now, so we can work together from now on."

Finally, as the initial excitement wore off and the shame subsided, Ichiji Nijika regained her composure.

“Yeah, it’s good that we can act together.” Goto Ichiri laughed too. “I thought Nijika would be acting alone when the Otherworld started, and I was quite worried.”

"Sorry, Pochi-chan," said Nijika Ijichi.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as Nijika can make a decision, hehe." Goto Ichiri scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly.

“Yes, let’s do things together from now on.” Ichiji Nijika took Goto Ichiri’s hand.

The two remained as close as before, completely forgetting that there was another person present.

"Since you've already explained the situation."

Tsukikawa Shu looked at the two of them with a slight smile on her lips, "So, shall we get down to business?"
