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

She was originally an overprotected child, and her family even forbade her from engaging in vulgar entertainment such as video games.

This also led her to develop a peculiar interest in finding loopholes in family rules. For example, she enjoys subcultures that deviate from the mainstream of otaku culture, such as German-style analog games or puzzle games.

Marriage is something that requires even more careful consideration, and Fujiwara Chika didn't know how her family would view this matter.

Will her doting family members be able to accept that Tsukikawa Shu already has two partners, and might have even more in the future?

Tsukikawa Shuu is a very assertive person. He is very strong and has a free-spirited nature, making it impossible for him to abide by the rules and regulations of those large families.

It is even less likely that they will obey the arrangements of the extended family and serve the extended family.

This situation can lead to many conflicts and contradictions.

Because of this, Fujiwara Chika decided to go back and sound out her family first.

"We have to convince them at least first..."

Just then, a boy rushed in.

"Fujiwara classmate..."

He looked at everyone present and considered his words.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Fujiwara Chika sat up.

"Um... there's something I'd like to discuss with you," he stammered.

"Then I'll go over there."

Fujiwara Chika blinked, unsure of what had happened.

So, the other students from Shuchiin, including Fujiwara Chika, came to the hall together.

“Now we need to make a vote.” Futaba Satoru stood in the middle of the crowd.

Then, most of them took a step back, placing Fujiwara Chika in the most conspicuous position.

Fujiwara Chika still looked puzzled.

"Fujiwara-kun, we'd like to ask you to do something for the group." Futata Satoru, still smiling, clenched his fist.

"That Tsukikawa Shuu has been 'acquiring many wives,' and you should also feel that he's quite good to Fujiwara-san, so could you please do something for our future, Fujiwara-san..."

Fujiwara Chika was stunned.

The others nearby had already understood what was meant.

"Are you planning to use your senior as a bargaining chip?" Iino Miko was furious.

"Are you even students of Shuchiin? How could you make such a shameless demand!" Tanuma Tsubasa was also furious.

However, they were soon surrounded and attacked by others.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Blame Tsukikawa Shu for this; he's the one who's been holding us back."

"Fujiwara, we've been protecting you for days, yet you haven't contributed anything to the group. We're giving you a chance to repay that kindness!"

"This is a decision we made collectively, and your objections are invalid!"

……

Fujiwara Chika's small group was already at a disadvantage, and now they were facing everyone else, as well as all the high-level bodyguards present.

Self-interest can make people lose their humanity.

In an instant, driven by self-interest, he found himself in the center of a vortex of public condemnation.

Fujiwara Chika stood there, stunned. She couldn't believe that these people would betray even their classmates and friends for their own benefit.

The students who were once polite, gentle, and tolerant have all turned into heartless beasts.

"Alright, alright, calm down."

Futaba Satoru clapped his hands, still smiling, signaling everyone to quiet down, then looked at Fujiwara Chika:

"Fujiwara-san, we are a democratic group that follows the principle of majority rule. This matter is no different. Let's all vote together."

Fujiwara Chika did not answer; her face was dark and gloomy.

"Now, raise your hand if you agree to let Fujiwara Chika sign a contract with Tsukikawa Shu!"

Arms were raised one after another, and all the top players present, as well as more than half of the students from Shuchiin University, voted in favor.

Like a democratic parliament in ancient Athens, each arm was like a raised spear, aimed at the sinners they had voted for.

Whether it is voluntary or coerced by others, raising one's hand still has the power to determine a person's fate.

"Now, raise your hand if you disagree with having Fujiwara Chika and Tsukikawa Shuu sign a contract."

The outcome is already quite obvious; even without statistics, the result is clear.

This time, only a handful of people around Fujiwara Chika raised their hands, trembling.

Only when faced with oppression from others do they realize how desperate it is to be powerless.

"We disagree! Your votes cannot decide a person's fate!" Bo Muzhu said angrily, gritting his teeth.

"Our votes certainly cannot determine the fate of others; we are all intelligent and civilized people."

Futaba Satoru said with a smile, "If Fujiwara-san doesn't agree, that's fine. We won't force you."

"Of course, we won't protect you or give you food anymore."

"You can also choose to leave our organization and fend for yourself."

"What's the difference between what you're doing and driving Fujiwara-senpai to the brink of despair?" Iino Miko couldn't contain her anger, her teeth chattering.

For people like them, who are only level 1, there is no way out but death in this world without protection.

After Fujiwara Chika was kicked out of the team, the only person she could turn to was Tsukikawa Shuu, which was no different from the voting result.

They killed a person in the most civilized and democratic way without using any force.

Fujiwara Chika did not answer, her face remained dark, her head bowed and motionless, her hands clenched tightly.

But no one was in a hurry; all eyes were on her, waiting for the final result.

Whether it's mockery, smugness, pity, or regret, none of it can change the outcome.

"I……"

After a long while, Fujiwara Chika finally raised her head, but her expression was unexpectedly calm.

"I go."

She spoke calmly, without any emotional fluctuation, and walked towards the door.

This is the last and only time that the friendship between classmates will be realized.

……

……

In the afternoon, the vortex on the stone gate of the Goblin Dungeon began to spin violently, and then Tsukikawa Shu and the other two returned to the outside of the dungeon.

For Tsukikawa Shuu, today was just another ordinary day of leveling up.

But when he stepped outside, he saw more than a dozen people standing in front of the door; the members of the Elite Committee had all gathered there.

The people standing in front are core members such as Futada Goichi, Hisatakeki, and Miyamoto Taira.

What puzzled Tsukikawa Shu was that Fujiwara Chika stood a distance behind the three of them, her expression quite indifferent.

"Lord Yuechuan."

The leader, Futaba Satoru, approached with a fawning smile that went against his true feelings.

If he weren't currently being suppressed, he wouldn't be so subservient to someone of lower status.

"Hmm?" Tsukikawa Shuuya looked at him.

"Lord Tsukikawa, I have prepared a gift for you," said Futa Satoru with a smile.

Then, the three people made way for Fujiwara Chika to come forward.

Fujiwara Chika remained silent, her expression as calm as still water, unlike the lively demeanor she had displayed during their conversation that night.

As for the other familiar faces in the team, Tsubasa Tanuma, Nagisa Tomari, and Miko Iino stood far behind, also looking this way, but their expressions were very unpleasant.

“We know that Lord Tsukikawa has always had feelings for Miss Fujiwara, but Miss Fujiwara has never agreed to it.”

Futaba Satoru laughed and said, "So, after our persuasion and mediation, Ms. Fujiwara finally agreed to sign a contract with you."

“Yes, Lord Tsukikawa, we are here to witness this for you, and we will absolutely not interfere in your future relationship with Miss Fujiwara.” Hisatake Itsuki also had a big smile on his face.

“Yes, yes, we will absolutely not discuss or interfere.” Futaba Goichi nodded hurriedly again.

From beginning to end, Fujiwara Chika never uttered a single word, standing there like a wooden stake.

"Is this so..."

After listening to their story, Tsukikawa Shu stroked his chin, glanced at Fujiwara Chika, then shifted his gaze to Futaba Satoru and the other two, and suddenly laughed, "What do you want?"

"It's nothing, we just hope that after Lord Tsukikawa finishes the dungeon, we can also go in and try it out," Futa Goichi said hurriedly.

"Just for this?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

“This is all we have,” said Futada Satoru.
