[Requirements: Under thirty, beautiful, and gentle personality preferred.]

[My energy is limited, first come, first served!]

Transmigrated into a world of anime, the Inner World opens, and monsters run rampant. At this time, Tsukikawa Shu, who had always been content with his lot, suddenly discovered his cheat was Wife-Taking.

"I, Tsukikawa Shu, abhor the rampant nature of impotent male protagonists and firmly reject the evil practice of 'flirting without intent to marry'!"

Goto Hitori: "Huh? I'm married? But then again, I'm not good at refusing people..."

Kitagawa Marin: "Marriage? Haha, sure... Wait! Are you serious?!"

Fujiwara Chika: "Although it can't be helped, don't let anyone in the student council find out about our relationship..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "You can marry me, but can you at least take down that 'Recruit Virtuous Wives' advertisement first!"

Volume 1

Meishu High School, Third Year.

The balding middle-aged male teacher on the podium continued to drone on with the textbook, paying no attention to the students below.

The surrounding classmates were all quietly looking at their textbooks. The time for the most important college entrance exams was drawing near, and no one was slacking off on their studies.

Only Tsukikawa Shu's expression remained dazed as he gazed out the window at the sunlight.

Even though he was by the window in the back row, the king's hometown.

Tsukikawa Shu didn't feel any of the treatment of a protagonist at all.

He was a transmigrator from the Celestial Empire, having crossed over into this world that was a hodgepodge of anime.

Recently, there was a rising star named Sakurajima Mai. Goto Hitori, a member of the band, was his classmate, and there was an Occult Research Club in the school.

Of course, the story arcs and character backgrounds in this anime world naturally had many discrepancies from the original works.

However, what made Tsukikawa Shu's head ache was that in the eighteen years since his transmigration, he hadn't awakened any cheat, nor did he possess any outstanding talent.

His family background was ordinary, his talent was ordinary, and the only thing that gave him a sense of immersion was his handsome face, which received love letters every day.

[Inner World Opening Time: 18:00]

Looking at the system prompt before him, Tsukikawa Shu was very helpless.

No cheat, but system tasks arrived first.

The so-called Inner World was a separate world independent of the current timeline.

There were no laws, no restraints, and it was filled with all sorts of unknown monsters and dangers. Of course, there were also many opportunities.

But this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, a realm that ordinary people could absolutely not dabble in.

If one died in this Inner World, they would also die in the original world in some inexplicable way.

Only until just now did a system panel suddenly appear before him.

[You have reached eighteen years of age, "Wife-Taking" system activated]

What kind of R-rated system is this?

Upon seeing the system's name, Tsukikawa Shu felt a vague sense of unease.

After carefully reading through the system's explanation, Tsukikawa Shu had a general understanding of this system.

As long as he signed a "Fate Bond" with a woman through the system, and within the Inner World, or successfully produced offspring, he could receive rewards from the system.

As he read, Tsukikawa Shu fell silent.

Although it was an anime world, the pressure in this world was no less than before he transmigrated. In Japan, one of the "Three Rolls Brothers" in Asia, what more could you ask for?

Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes; without them, I enjoy my own.

Spending time dating playing games, isn't that more satisfying?

In the current social environment, Tsukikawa Shu was more inclined to choose to lie flat and become a loyal supporter of family planning.

However, after finishing reading the system explanation, Tsukikawa Shu realized that this system was not that simple.

The definition of "marriage and childbirth" was not a legal definition, but must be certified by the system. Only those who forged a "Fate Bond" would be certified as husband and wife by the system.

In a sense, forging the fate of two people, the binding force within it far surpassed the current world's definition of marriage.

"Finding a woman in the Inner World who can forge a fate might be easier than in the current world."

Tsukikawa Shu compared his experiences from his previous life with what he had heard in Japan in this life, nodded, and strongly agreed with his own statement.

At the very least, there's no exorbitant bride price, no risk of a sham marriage, no need to buy a house or a car, and the children born won't just be bottomless pits of money.

While the bride price might be replaced by various resources and power from the Inner World, it at least gives this class-stratified Japan a chance to reshuffle.

Watching the countdown timer tick down, Tsukikawa Shu was ready to enter another world.

He opened his eyes to find himself in an empty, yet very dilapidated classroom.

Tsukikawa Shu looked around; he was the only one in the classroom.

[Please find a suitable partner to form a bond with as soon as possible]

[Your Level: 1]

[Current Contractable Partners: 1]

Where should I look for this destined person?

Tsukikawa Shu pondered slightly as he looked at the system prompt.

With just his handsome face, finding someone to form a marriage contract with wouldn't be difficult, but the system's evaluation was the challenge.

If he just picked anyone, the system would probably only give him some trivial rewards.

Thinking this, Tsukikawa Shu walked out of the classroom.

As he rounded a corner in the hallway, Tsukikawa Shu saw a group of students gathered together.

However, one person was standing apart from the group, crouching in a dark corner like a slug.

"What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?"

The girl in the pink tracksuit was trembling like a sieve.

[Image included, viewable after update]

Already suffering from severe social anxiety, she clearly wasn't suited for this environment.

She looked at the system prompt before her, completely at a loss.

From the system's explanation, she had a rough understanding of the situation in this world.

"This is the Inner World, full of dangers. With my stamina and physique, I'd probably die the moment I stepped foot in it... Sob, should I find someone else to team up with?"

But then, Goto Hitori shook her head violently like a rattle drum.

"Oyster, oyster, oyster!"

"They're probably looking for people with strong athletic abilities, and besides playing guitar, I can't do anything else!"

She dressed so plainly, had a reclusive personality, wasn't smart, and had no other special skills. She was a total dead weight.

"If it were Kita, with her cheerful personality and amazing social skills, she'd probably be accepted into a team very quickly."

Looking at herself, she really was useless except for playing the guitar well.

Just thinking about mustering the courage to approach someone, only to be politely rejected with a smile, felt like a critical hit to Goto Hitori.

[Current Mission: Survive for three days in the Inner World]

[You will be teleported back to the real world after three days]

She glanced outside at the dilapidated streets overgrown with weeds.

"It's fine, I'll just starve for three days... I'll find a corner to hide in."

Goto Hitori curled into a ball, "Okay! It's fine, three days should be manageable!"

She clenched her fist.

For an ultimate shut-in, even encountering a classmate on the street would make her lower her head and walk the other way.

They were often willing to pay a greater price to avoid contact with others, minimizing social interaction as much as possible.

However, just as Goto Hitori was about to find a cardboard box to hide in, someone suddenly appeared before her.

"Hitori-san, can we walk together?" the person asked, scratching their cheek with a smile.

"Eh?"

Goto Hitori looked up, clearly surprised that the other person actually knew her.

The person before her was a very handsome boy, and he seemed a little shy.

"I'm Tsukikawa Shu, from the class next door," Tsukikawa Shu said with a smile.

"Oh..."

Goto Hitori's mind was still blank.

Eh? Next class? I've never heard of him. Was there such a handsome guy in the class next door?...

But then again, she didn't even know half of the students in her own class.

Even after a whole semester...

Ahhh! He introduced himself, shouldn't I say something too? Oh, right, introduce myself...

"I'm Goto Hitori..."

Goto Hitori stammered, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

Seeing Goto Hitori like this, Tsukikawa Shu was completely unsurprised.

When a super socially anxious person is suddenly approached, they'll generally be at a loss, especially when someone of the opposite sex gets close. It's not just accompanied by nervousness and timidity, but also blushing.

They don't have many friends they can talk to. The only places they'll go during their school years are school and home. They don't know much about the outside world, especially when it comes to interpersonal interactions.

In other words, people like this have no dating experience, but they're the easiest to conquer.

Ever since he saw that Goto Hitori had also arrived in the Inner World, Tsukikawa Shu had made up his mind.

He would trick her into becoming his wife!

Goto Hitori is the protagonist of Bocchi the Rock!, an ultimate socially anxious person capable of making exaggerated facial expressions anywhere.

Although she often wears tracksuits, making her look a bit unfashionable, she's actually very beautiful. And beneath that thin tracksuit lies a broad chest.

"Topic... topic, now that introductions are done, we should talk about other things... Ahhh! He's looking at me!"

The other person didn't speak, and Goto Hitori's brain immediately went into overdrive, but it remained in a blank, frozen state.

It's that familiar awkward time again where there's nothing to talk about!

"Actually... I've been following you for a long time. I've always wanted to get to know you."

Tsukikawa Shu said with a smile, still appearing a little embarrassed.
