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

"Senior Chika!"

The girl who entered was a medium-length brown-haired girl, Iino Miko, who had entered the other world with Fujiwara Chika.

"Ah, yes!" Fujiwara Chika was startled.

The other members of the student council also turned around in surprise and looked at Iino Miko.

"I'm so sorry." Realizing her lapse in composure, Iino Miko quickly apologized, then came in and pulled Fujiwara Chika outside.

"I'm going out for a bit," Fujiwara Chika hurriedly said to the others in the room.

The two arrived at a secluded spot in the corridor. Iino Miko leaned against the wall, arms crossed over her chest.

"Have you told anyone else about this?" she asked.

"I told them, but nobody believed me," Fujiwara Chika said helplessly.

“Me too. I told my family, but they just thought I might have some mental problems lately and be hallucinating,” Miko Iino said.

After a pause, she asked, "What are you planning to do next? I checked the system instructions, and the Inner World will continue to open, and we will enter it again."

"..." Fujiwara Chika couldn't come up with any good solutions either.

“I think we should do some more research and see who has a higher level in the Otherworld. We can ask them for help then,” said Miko Iino. “If we offer enough money, we should be able to get a lot of people to apply if we put up a bounty.”

"The currency and power of our world are probably completely unimportant to anyone in the other world..."

Fujiwara Chika shook her head. "You've seen it in the chat room too. Those wealthy businessmen and politicians, even people we know, still couldn't get a job even after offering exorbitant prices."

Iino Miko also fell silent.

The emergence of the inner world is undoubtedly a major reshuffle of the real world. The strong in the inner world can obtain all wealth, power, or all kinds of enjoyment by their own strength.

Their status and identity as noble ladies might be completely disregarded in another world.

"But we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Iino Miko clenched her fist.

"We need to investigate the people we've seen in the inner world first. We need to choose someone we know well and who is suitable. They must be strong enough and their personality can't be too wicked."

Fujiwara Chika bit her finger. "Although our wealth is not enough to shake the actions of those powerful figures in the underworld, we can still mobilize the resources of our world."

"As for the other world... we really may have to be prepared to sacrifice something."

Although Fujiwara Chika is innocent, she is not stupid. After five days of production in the alternate world, she has come to terms with reality.

In the underworld, all her status and power were useless. To survive, someone as weak as her had absolutely no chance of escaping unscathed.

"Hey...you're not really thinking of sacrificing that aspect of yourself, are you...?"

Iino Miko was shocked and quickly grabbed Fujiwara Chika's shoulder, "Calm down, we're not just any woman!"

"Of course I know!"

Fujiwara Chika replied very seriously, "Of course I wouldn't just pick any man."

"But have you noticed that because we are too weak in the Otherworld... we are not as noble as we seem?"

"Our status and wealth have all been diluted, even shattered, by the emergence of the Otherworld..."

"We can lower our expectations for our future life and our future partner a bit... We can't just consider social status and family background from our original world anymore..."

Fujiwara Chika spoke softer and softer, her confidence waning with each word.

Although she was very rational, she couldn't accept this reality.

"So, you think we should also lower our stance?!"

Iino Miko clenched her fists and pursed her lips. "Although I interact with them a lot usually, if I really had to give myself to an ordinary person for that reason..."

"I'm sorry, I can't accept that!"

She was furious when she said those words to Fujiwara Chika, and didn't want to have any more conversation with her, so she turned and left.

Being able to get along harmoniously with ordinary people and being willing to marry an ordinary person are two different things.

The former can be merely a polite form of respect, while the latter requires truly setting aside all pride, which is unacceptable from the perspective of upbringing, parental opinions, or one's own choices.

"..."

Fujiwara Chika could only stand there, silently watching the other person leave.

Chapter 39 The Great Demon King Tsukikawa Shu (Eighth Update)

"Do I really have to trade my entire life for the chance to survive and thrive in the other world?" Fujiwara Chika touched her heart, her face darkening.

She could completely understand why Iino Miko had been angry and lost control of her emotions just now.

Fujiwara Chika herself did not want to do this, and she could not accept it at all.

When she said she was lowering her standards, she didn't mean she had to find someone from the lower class.

Middle-class people... are also acceptable, as long as the other party is strong enough in the inner world to protect her.

But for these high-class people, is there any difference between the lower and middle classes?

Her father was a politician and her mother was a diplomat; they came from an absolutely elite family.

Like a rancher herding livestock, in their eyes, the lower class are nothing but cattle and horses, and the middle class are just cattle and horses that are a little richer. They are all objects of their rule, and their statuses are completely different. It is impossible for them to marry each other!

Although her grades are only average, with her intelligence, she could easily be among the top students in her age group if she worked hard. In addition, she is also good at dance, piano and other skills that belong to elite education.

However... these things are completely useless in the inner world!

Her fingers gently touched her cheek.

The only thing she has, and the only thing she has of value, is her beautiful appearance; it is the only capital she can use to negotiate and trade with others.

This is a very harsh reality.

At that moment, a person suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Tsukawa Hiiragi..."

The man's voice and smile lingered in her mind... Although they had never officially met, she could already automatically imagine how terrifying he was.

The smile that Tsukikawa Shuu thought was like a gentle breeze in the photo was also filtered through a lens by Fujiwara Chika, making it look like a devil's grin!

This is a ruthless villain! He actually wants to use the resources he obtains to coerce and entice the young girls!

She had even chatted with him; could he be targeting her?

Although she didn't reveal her appearance, she couldn't change her name. What if he found out she was a rich heiress? Would that give rise to some evil thoughts against her?

Fujiwara Chika shivered.

"No, besides contacting the other players, we also need to thoroughly investigate this guy. We need to find out his background first."

For your own safety.

Fujiwara Chika has made her decision!

……

……

Goto Ichiri, carrying his newly acquired guitar, headed towards STARRY, the band's headquarters.

Humming a little tune, she skipped and hopped forward.

Goto Ichiri had already mentally rehearsed countless times how to show off her new guitar to her friends.

Not only is his guitar of excellent quality, but it is also something that cannot be bought on the market, because it is a prop that only exists in the Otherworld.

"When they ask me, how can I answer in a way that makes me seem more impressive?"

"She said it was a gift from her boyfriend, and it's even custom-made. Hmm, that's really nice."

"Anyway, given the quality and the fact that it's a style they've never seen before, they have no choice but to believe it."

"Hehehe, let's see how surprised they are then."

While talking to himself, Goto Ichiri had already arrived at the entrance of STARRY.

STARRY is a shop opened by Ijichi Nijika's older sister, Ijichi Seika, that combines performances, sells alcohol and coffee, and is also where the band finishes their usual practice and performances.

Even though she already has a boyfriend, Goto Ichiri still hasn't missed any of her daily practice sessions.

I guess so……

"Pochi-chan!"

Ichi Nijika put her hands on her hips, looking unhappy. "Why haven't you been to the band lately? We've been putting off practicing the new song for a week because of you. If this keeps up, we'll miss the performance."

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

Poor Pochi's voice was barely audible, and she once again prostrated herself on the ground in a familiar dogeza, banging her head on the ground.

All the boastful lines I had prepared beforehand have long been forgotten.

As soon as she entered, poor Goto Ichiri didn't even have time to show off her new guitar before she was surrounded by several girls.

The team consists of drummer Nijika Iji, bassist Ryo Yamada, and vocalist and guitarist Ikuyo Kita.
