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

Fujiwara Chika kept observing everything around her, but the conclusion she came to made her feel increasingly desperate.

This time, I only had to survive in the inner world for five days. As long as I found some food, I could survive by starving. So what about next time?

Anyone who has already entered the Inner World will not be able to escape when it opens again, and the survival time required for the next Inner World may be even longer.

With my body so weak I can't even kill a chicken, what am I supposed to do then?

She shuddered and dared not imagine any further.

Then, he couldn't take his eyes off the three large experience cards in his system inventory.

……

……

Aside from the first day spent finding shelter and food, and the day spent helping Hiratsuka Shizuka level up, Tsukikawa Shu spent the remaining three days completing the East Suburbs dungeon. In addition, she had time to hunt other monsters to gain more experience.

All three of them had now reached level 35.

"It's almost time, we should head back." Tsukikawa Shuu checked the system time.

"Finally, I can go back." Goto Ichiri was quite happy.

She held her new guitar, still unable to put it down.

She's been grinding through experience points these past few days, and she feels like she's never been this serious or hardworking when she was preparing for her big exams.

Another reason is that Tsukikawa Shuu is too restless, especially at night.

Even with Hiratsuka-sensei covering for them, they still couldn't quite hold on...

She sometimes wondered if she would be able to withstand Tsukikawa Shuu's advances if she were alone after marriage, given her lazy and unexercise-hungry body.

However, she was quite happy to be in the Otherworld this time.

Level and equipment don't matter... She actually managed to get a pretty good guitar this time, so it was worth coming to the Otherworld. This quality electric guitar costs a lot of money.

The three of them packed their belongings and waited for the system's countdown timer to finish.

However, at this moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka walked over.

"Tsukikawa-kun, there's something I really need to say," Hiratsuka Shizuka said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, teacher, please go ahead."

Tsukikawa Shu looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, then smiled and simply put his arm around her slender waist.

"At a time like this, you're still doing this kind of thing."

Hiratsuka Shizuka poked Tsukikawa Shu's cheek with her finger, sounding annoyed, but didn't resist, and continued:

"When we go back, you can't reveal our identities in public."

She paused, then looked at Tsukikawa Shu's hand around her waist, and added, "You also need to restrain yourself in your behavior."

"Is Hiratsuka-sensei worried that I'll be gossiped about?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

"This is a matter of your reputation."

Hiratsuka Shizuka lit another cigarette, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the white smoke.

"The Otherworld is not yet known to everyone, and its order and rules are not accepted by people in our world, so you still need to know how to protect yourself."

"Don't be like that stubborn kid you used to be, refusing to back down no matter what you're upset about and insisting on getting justice."

There is an old Chinese saying: "Those who understand the times are heroes."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, having been through similar experiences, knows how much damage public opinion can inflict on a person, especially when it comes to something that's difficult to explain.

From the perspective of the other world, it's perfectly normal for Tsukikawa Shu to want to have several girlfriends and marry several people. But if he were in the original world, Tsukikawa Shu would only become the target of everyone's criticism.

Especially since Tsukikawa Shu is in the crucial stage of her life as a senior in high school... Of course, that is, if the college entrance exam is still relevant.

Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Tsukikawa Shu stroked his chin, smiled, and said:

“Teacher Hiratsuka, there is an old Chinese saying: ‘A gentleman takes revenge, even after ten years.’”

"If there's a grudge, we'll settle it on the spot!"

"Who taught you to explain it like that? Don't tell anyone I'm your Mandarin teacher when you go out." Hiratsuka Shizuka tapped Tsukikawa Shu's head with her finger in annoyance.

Of course, it doesn't hurt at all.

"I will keep Hiratsuka-sensei's words in mind, but if there are really some people who don't know their place, then we'll have to see if they have the ability to do it," Tsukikawa Shu said with a smile.

"Anyway, don't cause me any trouble," Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

"Well, as long as no one messes with me, I won't cause trouble," Tsukikawa Shuu said with a smile.

Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed, knowing that Tsukikawa Shu was just like that, and said no more.

Chapter 35 (Fourth Update)

When they opened their eyes again, Tsukikawa Shuu and Goto Ichiri were still standing on the street.

The things in my hands are still there, and when I checked the time, nothing had changed.

"We still have to go to class today."

Tsukikawa Shu stretched.

"Huh? Class is in session?" Goto Ichiri was surprised.

After spending a few days in the alternate world, Goto Ichiri forgot that today was still a day when she had to go to school.

"Don't forget you're still a student." Tsukikawa Shuu rubbed Goto Ichiri's head.

"Hehe..." Goto Ichiri scratched his head sheepishly.

In the past, this would have been considered late, and the two would usually have sprinted to school at full speed. But after being exposed to the inner world, this seemed to have become rather unimportant.

After going home, Tsukikawa Shuu and Goto Ichiri changed into their school uniforms and then leisurely made their way to school.

The disciplinary committee members who had registered for being late had already gone to class. When Tsukikawa Hiiragi and Goto Ichiri arrived outside the school, they found the gate tightly closed and looked around but there was no one there.

"Yoshi, this way."

Tsukikawa Shuu pulled Goto Ichiri along and went straight to the side wall of the school.

“Go in from here,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Huh? Do I need to use a VPN?"

Goto Ichiri was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat excited.

Being socially anxious, she had never engaged in any stimulating activities. She went home and to school on time every day. Also, because she used to be physically weak, activities like climbing walls were completely out of the question for her.

Tsukikawa Shuu leaped over the wall.

Goto Ichiri followed closely behind, imitating Tsukikawa Shuu as he climbed onto the wall.

As your level increases in the inner world, your physical strength will also increase, making it much easier to climb over walls.

Goto Ichiri climbed over the wall, and Tsukikawa Shu caught her from below.

"Thank you... Ah!"

Before Goto Ichiri could even thank her, Tsukikawa Shu pinched her butt, making her blush instantly.

Fortunately, there was no one around.

"Not next time."

Seeing the resentful look in Goto Ichiri's eyes, Tsukikawa Shu quickly apologized.

Unlike Goto Ichiri, who headed to a different classroom, Tsukikawa Shu dusted himself off and casually slung his bag over his shoulder as he walked into the classroom.

Pushing open the classroom door, I found, quite by chance, that Hiratsuka Shizuka was giving a lesson. All the other students had already arrived and were still engrossed in their books.

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was giving a lecture, glanced at Tsukikawa Shu, paused for a moment, and then immediately looked away.

Although she hadn't forgotten to attend class, she still hadn't fully transitioned from the environment of the five days in the other world, and her face even turned slightly red, showing a bit of a girlish demeanor.

But she quickly returned to normal.

"Tsukikawa, don't be late next time," Hiratsuka Shizuka said calmly, just like any other day.

"Okay." Tsukikawa Shuu sat down in her seat indifferently.

“This class is for self-study. Those who haven’t handed in their college application forms, please fill them out and bring them to me to hand in,” Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

“Volunteering…” Tsukikawa Shuu looked at his unfinished volunteer application form, fiddling with the pen in his hand as he pondered.

Looking around at my classmates, they were all engrossed in their studies. Time was of the essence; there wasn't much time to waste.

The last few people have already filled out their applications and submitted them.

"Hey, Yuechuan—"

At that moment, a chubby boy wearing glasses sitting next to her quietly called out to Tsukikawa Shuu.
