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

This was also the first time she had faced such a bloody reality.

But she wasn't scared; on the contrary, she was quite happy.

At first, she had already resigned herself to her fate. Being coerced by those people in the Elite Committee, she had no choice. Fortunately, her opinion of Tsukikawa Shu had changed quite a bit, so this outcome wasn't unacceptable. She just hoped that Tsukikawa Shu would treat her better.

But despite her thoughts, when she saw Tsukikawa Shuu expressing his gratitude to the Elite Committee with a joyful expression, not only allowing them to run the dungeon but also promising to reward them for their contributions, Fujiwara Chika felt quite uneasy.

Although I no longer have the right to protest, and my future life will definitely be one of husband and wife following each other, I still feel very resentful.

But what followed took an unexpected turn.

Tsukikawa Shuu, who seemed to be purely pursuing profit, suddenly drew his sword and killed all those who tried to coerce him into submission through collective oppression.

At this moment, Fujiwara Chika truly understood.

This is a man who would draw his sword for himself.

At that moment, Fujiwara Chika saw the man walking towards her.

Tsukikawa Shuu's face was covered in blood, and his clothes were also stained with blood. He looked fierce and menacing, but at this moment, he didn't seem to have any reason to frighten anyone.

"Do you hate me now?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

Fujiwara Chika also looked at Tsukikawa Shu.

"How is that possible?"

She laughed and wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes.

"Let's go then."

Tsukikawa Shuya smiled and took her hand.

Watching Fujiwara Chika and Tsukikawa Shuu's departing figures, Tanuma Tsubasa and the others remained standing in place.

"Now... what should we do?" Bo Muzhu asked.

Everyone looked at each other.

All the main members of the Elite Committee were wiped out, and none of the top players survived. The organization is now defunct in name only.

"It's good enough that we're alive."

Tanuma Tsubasa shrugged helplessly.

……

A total of eight players were killed by Tsukikawa Shu. Tsukikawa Shu collected and sorted out all the equipment dropped by these players.

Each of these eight players has a unique class and possesses various skills. Upon a player's death, these skills and classes are converted into skill cards and class cards, which are then dropped.

In terms of class cards, there are 4 Warrior cards, 3 Mage cards, and 1 Gunner card.

The skill cards vary in quality, ranging from the lowest-level common skills to rare skills, totaling more than ten cards.

As for weapons, only Hisatake and Miyamoto Taira used rare-grade weapons among the eight people, while the rest all used excellent-grade weapons. Hisatake even broke his rare-grade weapon himself.

The broken broadswords and high-quality weapons were useless; most of them were broken down into refined ore, with only a small portion remaining, which might be used for trading with others.

As for the other rare weapon, Tsukikawa Shuu took a look at its attributes.

[Weapon *Rare: Executioner]

Ammo capacity: 10

[Pistol-type weapon, usable only by the Gunner class]

[Weapon Skill: Special Ammunition]

[After triggering the skill, the next bullet gains 100% increased attack power and penetration. Cooldown: 5 seconds]

It's a fairly standard rare weapon, so I'll keep it for now.

It would be a shame to break it down; the best option is to list it on a forum for trading.

In addition, Tsukikawa Shu also found a gunslinger-type skill card.

[Precision Sniping]

[Quality: Rare]

[After a 1-second adjustment period, the player's mental strength and shooting accuracy are increased by 100%, the effective range of the weapon is increased by 100%, and enemy weak points are marked. Duration: 15 seconds]

This one is also pretty good; we can keep it.

Besides that, the eight players were left with some miscellaneous and useless items, which Tsukikawa Shuu simply dismantled, since he didn't need them anyway.

"Eight players combined don't even have a thousand refined ores." Tsukikawa Shuu was a little disappointed.

It's not even as much as the system rewards, which is a real shame. After getting a couple of freebies, the organization just disappeared.

As the hard currency of the future world, refined ore is of course the more you hoard, the better.

After taking stock of her spoils, Tsukikawa Shuu got up and went to the door of the room next door.

After bringing Fujiwara Chika over, Tsukikawa Shuu told her to rest in the room because she was still a little emotionally unstable.

Chapter 72 Fujiwara Chika Signs a Contract

Tsukikawa Shuu knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A sound came from inside.

Tsukikawa Shu pushed open the door and entered. Fujiwara Chika was sitting on the bed, her expression having mostly calmed down.

"Are you feeling better?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

"Yeah, nothing was wrong anyway." She blinked, still as radiant as ever.

She then looked at Tsukikawa Shu, shifted her position to make room, and patted the mattress, saying, "You sit here."

Tsukikawa Shu sat down next to her.

It was already evening.

“Actually, you could have just gone with the flow. In that situation, I couldn’t resist either, and I had nowhere else to go.”

Fujiwara Chika, sitting on the edge of the bed, gently kicked her feet.

“I don’t like taking advantage of people unless it’s voluntary,” Tsukikawa Shuu said.

"Really?" Fujiwara Chika tilted her head. "If I didn't go willingly, would you let me go?"

“I never forced you,” Tsukikawa Shu said.

"What if I go back and get married to someone else?" Fujiwara Chika asked again.

“Then you owe me a life.” Tsukikawa Shuu paused. “I’m fair, so it’s up to you or your husband to repay it.”

"In the end, it's just that they don't want me to leave!"

Fujiwara Chika muttered something, then suddenly became a little bolder, moved closer to Tsukikawa Shuu, reached out and pinched his cheek, and laughed, looking quite pleased with herself for having succeeded in her scheme.

"You seem so imposing outside, but I never knew you were such a proud and arrogant person."

"..."

Despite being exposed, Tsukikawa Shuu still showed no reaction.

Which man doesn't have this kind of complex? It's just that they're making excuses for being pretentious.

"Just kidding. If I really disliked you, I wouldn't have come over."

As Fujiwara Chika spoke, a slight blush appeared on her face. "Similarly, I can't live without you either."

I used to think that Tsukikawa Shu wasn't a bad person, but I still had some hesitation about whether the two of us should be together.

But after today's incident, Fujiwara Chika had already made up her mind; she had already decided on this person.

It was because of the collective coercion from the Elite Committee that Fujiwara Chika was forced to truly confront her own heart.

Do I really want to stay by Tsukikawa Shu's side?

Through this thought-provoking question, Chika Fujiwara offered her own answer.

If you're willing, what's the point of hiding it or hesitating?

"You haven't signed the contract yet. You don't need to make a decision so quickly. You still have time to think about it. After all, this is a major life event for you."

Tsukikawa Shuu said, "Of course, after we sign the contract, I'll also have to take responsibility for you."

"Still being all smug~" Fujiwara Chika boldly approached and took Tsukikawa Shu's arm.

"Actually, after talking with you that night, I was basically certain. It's just that we people aren't very free, you know, our families are quite strict."

She sighed softly.

"I was thinking that I should go back and discuss this with my parents and grandfather."

"But now, I feel it's unnecessary."

"Anyway, after I met you, I didn't have a better choice. Even if my family doesn't agree... I will still be with you."

"Similarly, if I marry someone else, you'll kill my spouse, won't you?"
