After transmigrating into a multiverse anime world, the Inner World opened, and monsters ran rampant. Yet just as Tsukikawa Shu had been planning to slack off forever, he suddenly discovered that his cheat was marrying wives and having children.

"I, Tsukikawa Shu, despise the rampant scourge of impotent, useless male leads and firmly reject the vile trend of 'why marry if you can just flirt'!"

Goto Hitori: "Huh? I'm married? Well, that makes sense. I'm not very good at refusing people..."

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

Fujiwara Chika: "It couldn't be helped, but don't let anyone from the Student Council find out about our relationship..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "You can marry me, but could you take down that 'Widely Recruiting Virtuous Wives' advertisement first?!"

Volume One

Meishu High School, third year.

The balding middle-aged teacher at the podium continued reading the textbook to himself, showing no concern whatsoever for the students below.

Meanwhile, the students around him all quietly studied their textbooks. The most important entrance exam of their lives was drawing near, and no one was relaxing their studies.

Only Tsukikawa Shu stared blankly out the window, lost in thought as he watched the sunlight.

They said the seat by the window in the back row was the king's throne.

But Tsukikawa Shu felt none of the treatment reserved for a protagonist.

He was a transmigrator from China, reborn into this mishmash multiverse anime world.

A rising star named Sakurajima Mai had recently appeared. Goto Hitori, one of the members of Kessoku Band, was his classmate, and there was even an Occult Research Club at school.

Of course, the storylines and character backgrounds in this multiverse anime world differed considerably from the originals.

What gave Tsukikawa Shu a headache was that in the eighteen years since his transmigration, he had awakened no cheat abilities and displayed no exceptional talents.

His family background was average, his talents were average, and the only thing he could really relate to was this handsome face of his, which received love letters every day.

[Inner World opening time: 18:00]

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

No cheat had appeared, but the system mission had arrived first.

The so-called Inner World was another world independent of their current time and space.

There were no laws and no restraints. It was filled with all kinds of unknown monsters and dangers, though it also held many opportunities.

But this was a world where the strong devoured the weak, absolutely not a domain ordinary people could meddle in.

If one died in the Inner World, one would also die in the original world through some inexplicable means.

Only moments ago had a system panel suddenly appeared before him.

[You have reached the age of eighteen. The "Wife-Taking" system has been activated.]

What kind of adults-only system was this?

The moment Tsukikawa Shu saw the system's name, he had a vague feeling that something was off.

After carefully reading through the system description, Tsukikawa Shu gained a rough understanding of it.

As long as he and a woman signed a "Fate Bond" through the system in the Inner World, or successfully had offspring, he could claim rewards from the system.

The more he read, the more Tsukikawa Shu fell silent.

This might have been a multiverse anime world, but the pressure here was no less than before his transmigration. What more could one ask for in Japan, one of Asia's three overworked brothers?

Children and grandchildren would have their own fortunes. Without children and grandchildren, he could enjoy his own fortune.

Wouldn't it be better to spend the time he would have used for dating on video games?

Given the current social climate, Tsukikawa Shu would rather lie flat and become a devoted supporter of family planning.

However, after finishing the system description, Tsukikawa Shu realized the system was not so simple.

The definition of "marriage and children" was not a legal one. It required system certification, and only those who formed a Fate Bond would be recognized by the system as spouses.

In a sense, binding two people's fates together carried a force of restraint far beyond the modern world's definition of marriage.

"Finding a woman in the Inner World who can bind her fate to mine will probably be easier than finding one in the current world."

Comparing the experiences of his previous life with what he had heard during this life in Japan, Tsukikawa Shu nodded, fully agreeing with himself.

At the very least, there would be no exorbitant bride price, no marriage scams, no need to buy a house or car, and the children born would not simply be bottomless money pits.

Although the bride price might be replaced by the Inner World's various resources and strength, it would at least give this class-solidified Japan a chance to reshuffle the deck.

As the countdown before him steadily ticked down, Tsukikawa Shu prepared himself to enter another world.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in an empty yet exceedingly dilapidated classroom.

Tsukikawa Shu looked around. He was the only person in the classroom.

[Please find someone capable of forming a Fate Bond with you as soon as possible.]

[Your level: 1]

[Number of contractable targets at your current level: 1]

Where was he supposed to find someone destined for him?

Looking at the system prompt, Tsukikawa Shu considered it briefly.

With his handsome face alone, finding someone at random to form a Marriage Contract with would not be difficult. The hard part was the system's evaluation.

If he simply chose anyone, the system would probably only give him some insignificant rewards.

As he thought, Tsukikawa Shu walked out of the classroom.

At the corner of the corridor, he saw several students gathered together.

But one of them had stayed far away 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 a pink tracksuit was already trembling like a leaf.

An illustration is available here and can be viewed after updating the app.

Already suffering from severe social anxiety, she was clearly unsuited to this environment.

She stared helplessly at the system prompt before her.

From the system description, she had roughly understood the situation in this world.

"This is a dangerous Inner World full of threats. With my exercise habits and physique, I'll probably die immediately... Waaaah, should I find other people and form a team?"

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

"Oyster, oyster, oyster!"

"They probably all want people with strong athletic abilities, right? Other than playing guitar, I can't do anything at all!"

She dressed so unfashionably, had such an introverted personality, was not particularly smart, and had no other talents. She was absolutely dead weight.

"If it were Kita... with her cheerful personality and incredible social skills, she'd quickly be accepted by a team."

Looking at herself again, she really was good for nothing except playing guitar fairly well.

The mere thought of gathering the courage to approach someone, only to be politely rejected with a smile, made Goto Hitori feel as though she had suffered a devastating blow.

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

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

She looked at the ruined streets outside, overgrown with weeds.

"It's fine. I only have to go hungry for three days... I'll find a corner and hide."

Goto Hitori curled herself into a ball. "Mm! It'll be fine. I should be able to endure three days!"

She clenched her fists.

For someone with extreme social anxiety, even running into a classmate on the road would frighten her enough to lower her head and take a detour.

Such people were often willing to pay a greater price to avoid contact with others and minimize interpersonal interactions as much as possible.

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

"Goto, can I come with you?" The other person scratched his cheek and asked with a smile.

"Huh?"

Goto Hitori lifted her head, clearly shocked that the other person actually knew her.

The person before her was a rather handsome boy who seemed somewhat shy.

"I'm Tsukikawa Shu. I'm in the class next to yours," Tsukikawa Shu said with a smile.

"Oh..."

Goto Hitori's mind remained completely blank.

Huh? The class next door? I've never heard of him. There's actually such a handsome guy in the class next door?...

But then again, it made sense. She did not even know half the students in her own class.

Even though a whole semester had already passed...

Aaaaah! He introduced himself. Shouldn't I say something too? Right, introduce myself...

"I'm Goto Hitori..."

Goto Hitori spoke timidly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Tsukikawa Shu had expected Goto Hitori's reaction completely.

When someone with severe social anxiety was suddenly spoken to, they would generally be at a loss, especially when approached by the opposite sex. It brought not only tension and fear, but blushing as well.

They had no friends they could really talk to. During their school years, the only places they went were school and home, and they knew little about the outside world, especially when it came to social interaction.

In other words, people like this had no romantic experience and were the easiest to win over.

The moment Tsukikawa Shu saw that Goto Hitori had also entered the Inner World, he had made his decision.

He would trick her into becoming his wife!

Goto Hitori was the protagonist of Bocchi the Rock!, an ultimate introvert capable of making ridiculous expressions anywhere.

Though she often wore tracksuits and looked rather plain, she was actually very pretty, and beneath that thin sports jacket lay a remarkably ample bosom.

Topics... topics. After introducing myself, I need to say something else... Aaaaah! He's looking at me!

When the other person did not speak, Goto Hitori's mind instantly began spinning at high speed, yet it remained blank and frozen.

That familiar awkward moment where there was nothing to talk about had arrived again!

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

Tsukikawa Shu smiled, still appearing a little embarrassed.
