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

If anyone else encountered a swarm of bats of this size, they wouldn't even be able to run away; they would quickly be caught by these monsters and devoured into bones.

However, Goto Ichiri's array master class is a complete nemesis to these things. The bats have very low resistance to individual attacks, and Goto Ichiri can shoot them down in large numbers as soon as she activates her skills.

"Is this the kind of skill you're giving your girlfriend?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked, looking at Goto Ichiri.

"What I gave you is a unique skill card. The skill that awakens based on the user's attributes is this one." Tsukikawa Shuu also said with some helplessness.

However, Goto Ichiri is indeed very useful.

Yes, whether it's day or night.

The bats on the ground were still fluttering about.

Hiratsuka Shizuka took a kitchen knife and stabbed the bats to death one by one.

You have gained 6 experience points.

You have gained 6 experience points.

You have gained 6 experience points.

……

Even though Hiratsuka Shizuka was quite athletic, after a whole day of monotonous and repetitive assassination movements, her hands began to ache.

These swarms of bats are easy to hunt and are also suitable for Hiratsuka Shizuka to gain experience, but the experience points per bat are very low.

Exhausted and panting, Hiratsuka sat down on the ground to rest for a while, and took a look at his level.

Your level is: 5

She curled her lips.

"How much experience can you get from each monster?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked Goto Ichiri.

"Ah..." Goto Ichiri opened his panel and took a look.

"8 point."

"..."

It's that damn double experience again.

This is a talent that only those bound by marriage with Tsukikawa Shuu can enjoy.

Originally, Hiratsuka Shizuka, as the monster killer, should have received the majority of the experience, but Goto Ichiri, with the double experience bonus, actually received more experience than Hiratsuka Shizuka.

“We’ve basically cleared out all the bat nests nearby. Next, we need to find the giant rat nests, which are easier to farm,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Are there any species easier to farm than these bats and giant rats?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked tentatively.

"As far as I know, no."

Tsukikawa Shuu said, "Only these monsters are relatively easy to control. I can control the situation. For other species, it is safer to kill them after crippling their mobility."

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her fists; they were sore and almost exhausted.

Sweat had already soaked her clothes; the white shirt clung tightly to her body, accentuating her curves, and a black bra was clearly visible. She was drenched in sweat, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

In this situation, she didn't care about anything else and simply took off her black stockings and put them aside, even unbuttoning the buttons on her chest.

Of course, because Tsukikawa Shu was there, she didn't dare to untie all of them, only untied a little, revealing a bit of her cleavage.

"The risk level is higher at night, and it's also not as good for leveling up."

Tsukikawa Shuu thought for a moment, "Let's not fight like this during the day. Let's level up three times. The hunters who specifically target players are about this level now. That way, Hiratsuka-sensei will have the most basic ability to protect himself."

"...Does leveling up to level three mean grinding all night?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked.

“Isn’t that a given?” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"...When you first came in, did you also stay up all night grinding for experience points?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked.

“No, not at all,” Tsukikawa Shuu said matter-of-factly. “We have double experience bonus.”

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka finally witnessed the difficulties of this other world.

If I keep going, I'll either die in the monsters' mouths or I'll die here first... Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at her hands and feet, which were trembling slightly from overexertion, and hesitated.

Chapter 25

"By the way, what level are you now?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked.

Tsukikawa Shu looked at her own screen.

"21." Tsukikawa Hiiragi said.

For high-level players, grinding these low-level monsters is a waste of time.

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her face, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Since entering this world, I have always relied on Tsukikawa Shu to take care of me, and I have always been a burden to him.

Tsukikawa Shuu didn't care.

During his break, he took a look at the forum.

As expected, the comment tagging me received 999+ comments.

After a quick glance, it was clear that most of the messages were from men, and they were mostly in exchange for money and power from their original world. Tsukikawa Shuu simply ignored them.

The current power is in Tsukikawa Shu's hands. She could naturally obtain these things if she returned to her original world, but right now Tsukikawa Shu doesn't need them and doesn't want so many.

In addition, a few women also commented below her post, and their flirtatious manners were evident from their words, but Tsukikawa Shu ignored them all.

Every benefit comes with a price tag, and those who truly want my help are already scheduling private chats with me.

Opening another page, Tsukikawa Shuu saw a series of red dots indicating appointments for private chats.

Experience cards are very valuable items in this world, especially in the early stages of the game. Only by leveling up can you defeat those low-level monsters and slowly grind for experience.

Therefore, a significant portion of them are simply taking advantage of the situation.

But Tsukikawa Shuu didn't care.

The system requires real-name registration. Tsukikawa Shuu scanned through the names, searching for those that seemed familiar.

The system rates female characters based on popularity, but Tsukikawa Shuu doesn't bother to look at minor roles.

Tsukikawa Shu didn't care about playing minor roles; her gaze swept quickly across the room, finally landing on a familiar name.

"Fujiwara Chika."

Tsukikawa Hiiragi stroked her chin before clicking to accept the reservation.

……

……

An abandoned shopping mall in the city center.

A group of students were gathered together, their faces all covered in a layer of gray.

Next to him lay a male student with his arm wrapped in gauze. It looked like no one knew how to bandage him properly; the bandage was just hastily wrapped up and looked very rough. In addition, there were many other wounds on his body and clothes.

The male student was now motionless and lifeless.

"This is all the food we could find."

Tsubasa Tanuma put the canned food she was holding on the ground.

"This little bit of food would only last one day under normal circumstances..."

As Tsubasa Tanuma's girlfriend, Nagisa Kashiwagi is equally worried.

They were students of the private Shuchiin Academy, a prestigious school with a long and orthodox history, founded specifically to educate the sons of nobles and samurai. Its students were mostly born into wealthy and influential families, making it a truly elite aristocratic school.

Normally, they would attend school and achieve excellent grades. After class, they would either practice music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, or be picked up by servants and taken home to gradually participate in managing business or official affairs, or attend social dances.

Who would have thought that just yesterday, everyone was transported to this perilous underworld?

Fortunately, there were a few boys among them, and they got through the first day in a state of trepidation.

But the real trouble is yet to come, starting with the food crisis.

"We'll just have to eat sparingly... This amount of food should last us for five days..." Tanuma Tsubasa said.

"What kind of place is this?! I want to go home, I want to go home!"

An obese male student could no longer bear it and burst into tears, clutching his head.

How could they, who lived a comfortable life in a prestigious school, possibly tolerate such treatment?

Everyone remained silent, staring at the meager amount of food left on the ground.

They came into this world not without the intention of finding more food and trying to hunt monsters to level up.

But they soon realized the difficulties.

If you attack in groups, it's not difficult to hunt down a lone low-level monster. But the problem is that monsters nowadays often come out in groups, making it impossible to find a target, and you might even get killed instead.
