She didn't want to owe anyone a favor, yet she was powerless to do anything about it.
"Let's leave it at that, Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei. For the first two and a half days, I'll help you and Hitori level up and clear out the monster nests in the surrounding area. After that, we'll check out the dungeon."
Monsters have their own nests and don't leave easily. As long as the nearby monster nests are destroyed, a safe zone can be established.
This area is on the outskirts of the city, and other players' levels are not high enough to venture here yet.
Night had also fallen, and for safety, the three of them slept in the same room.
Tsukikawa Shu still held Goto Hitori, the two pressed tightly together.
For some reason, Tsukikawa Shu was holding her tighter than usual today.
Her heart was pounding non-stop, and an unprecedented sense of peace spread through the air. Goto Hitori felt inexplicably nervous.
Neither of them could sleep, and time ticked by second by second. The surroundings grew quiet.
The sound of gentle breathing was exceptionally clear in the silent room.
"Is Hiratsuka-sensei asleep?" Tsukikawa Shu suddenly whispered by Goto Hitori's ear.
"I don't know..." Goto Hitori glanced towards the other side of the room.
Hiratsuka Shizuka was sleeping on the bed on the other side of the room, lying on her side with her back to them.
There was no movement, no sound.
"She... must be asleep by now," Goto Hitori said.
"Mm, she should be," Tsukikawa Shu replied.
"..."
The two faced each other, and the air fell silent again for a moment.
"Thank you so much today," Tsukikawa Shu said. "Making you agree to these terms was my selfishness."
"There's nothing we can do about it," Goto Hitori said. "Who told us to be in this world..."
Afterward, they fell silent again, but the atmosphere grew increasingly playful.
"You... what do you want to do?"
Goto Hitori's heart beat faster and faster.
It felt like something was about to happen... She became incredibly tense.
"Hitori!"
Tsukikawa Shu suddenly grabbed Goto Hitori's hand.
"Yes!"
Goto Hitori was very nervous.
"We're married, aren't we!"
"Ah... yes, we are," Goto Hitori stammered.
"Then..."
Tsukikawa Shu suddenly made a move...
"Ah... wait... you, what are you doing... Ugh..."
Goto Hitori was suddenly pulled into the covers by Tsukikawa Shu. There were rustling sounds, and only Goto Hitori's cries could be heard.
However, as if afraid of waking Hiratsuka Shizuka, she kept suppressing them.
"..."
On the other side, Hiratsuka Shizuka's face had turned bright red.
She actually couldn't sleep at all and could hear everything happening at the other end of the room clearly.
At first, her resistance was quite intense, but as time went on, it gradually seemed to turn into a reluctant acceptance.
Hiratsuka Shizuka's face grew redder and redder.
"These two young people, they're doing it right now?!"
"I'm still a virgin..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka hugged her small blanket, listening to the rustling sounds behind her, and couldn't sleep at all.
She just listened to the sounds behind her, from the initial rustling to the larger movements that followed, where she could clearly hear panting, and finally, it gradually stopped, returning to silence...
She was completely unable to sleep...
The flowers of spring have withered, too quickly gone, alas, the morning rain and evening wind. Rouge tears, a parting soul, reunited in time, it is but the endless river of regret in life.
Another beautiful morning arrived.
Overnight, their spears had traversed the land, invincible.
After several intense battles, Bocchi-chan's eyes were watery.
After a night of exhaustion, the two held each other close, skin against skin, feeling each other's true warmth.
Goto Hitori woke up in Tsukikawa Shu's embrace. She glanced at his chest, then at her own body...
Beneath the covers, there was a striking crimson stain.
She froze for a moment, then recalled what had happened last night, her cheeks flushing hot again.
"When did I become so bold..."
For a moment, she didn't even feel like herself.
Not only had she gotten into a relationship before her friends, but she had also lost her first time so quickly... This was completely unlike her!
Waaah... I'm not going to have a baby, am I? I just became an adult!
Although, legally, she could indeed get married now...
Recalling the specific events of last night, she once again felt helpless about her own personality.
At first, she had intended to refuse, but she was simply not good at rejecting people, even when it came to something like this. Her stammering and hesitant posture looked more like a coy invitation, which only spurred Tsukikawa Shu into action.
Then, she was directly pushed down. Her resistance weakened with each passing moment until she finally just closed her eyes and gave up...
She had to admit, it seemed quite comfortable, even though it hurt a lot at first...
"Clothes, clothes..."
Blushing, she found her discarded clothes under the bed.
By the time Tsukikawa Shu woke up, Goto Hitori had already hurriedly dressed herself.
"Are you okay?" Tsukikawa Shu hugged her from behind.
"Mhm," she nodded, but then paused and added, "Next time, be gentler..."
But then, seeing Tsukikawa Shu's meaningful smile, she quickly changed her tune, "There won't be a next time!"
"Alright!" Tsukikawa Shu chuckled, selectively ignoring her last words.
When they both finished dressing and walked out of the room, Hiratsuka Shizuka was already leaning against the hallway, waiting for them.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" Tsukikawa Shu asked his teacher.
"Heh, you really think I don't know what you two were up to last night?" Hiratsuka Shizuka put a hand on her hip, looking a bit annoyed.
"Hiratsuka-sensei knows?!" Goto Hitori's nerves instantly tensed. "Are we going to be expelled?"
"I couldn't care less about you," Hiratsuka Shizuka lit a cigarette. "Just be quieter next time."
"Hehe, we won't disturb you next time," Tsukikawa Shu replied with his usual carefree grin, showing no signs of remorse.
This made Hiratsuka Shizuka even more irritated.
It wasn't just Tsukikawa Shu's attitude; there was something else...
She couldn't stand seeing her junior lose her virginity before her, and to that brat Tsukikawa Shu...
If she were a few years younger, she probably would have pursued him too.
The three ate breakfast together. Goto Hitori had changed significantly, quietly leaning against Tsukikawa Shu.
The Inner World would only be open for five days, and during these five days, every moment needed to be spent leveling up.
Well, while others were nervously thinking about how to survive the five days, Tsukikawa Shu was already finding the time too short.
Before heading out to level up with Hiratsuka Shizuka that morning, Tsukikawa Shu took some time to log onto the forum.
He then posted a thread.
"Widely Recruiting Virtuous Wives!"
With a few catchy headlines, followed by various benefits.
"Sincerely seeking high-quality wives. Contact me now if interested."
"Level 20 player leading the way. Sign a Marriage Contract and enjoy double experience benefits, with a free Class Card and two Skill Cards. Plenty of leveling materials provided!"
"Additionally, we can tackle the East Suburb Dungeon together and farm for epic items."
"If you have any unspeakable troubles, that's fine too. I will ensure absolute privacy and will not leak any information from the Inner World to the real world."
"My energy is limited, first come, first served!"
He also attached a handsome photo of himself.
Looking at it, Tsukikawa Shu nodded with satisfaction, then opened his System inventory and clicked. He listed a large pile of useless materials, along with several collected Skill Cards and Class Cards.
"Recruitment requirements are as follows:"
"Under 30 years old."
"Young and beautiful, with special skills preferred."
"Click to private message for a face-to-face conversation via the System chat room. Each applicant will receive an Experience Card as compensation."
"If it's inconvenient to meet in the Inner World, you can also interview in the real world. All visitors will also receive 1 Experience Card as compensation, which can be used to directly advance 1 level."
"My contact information: xxxxxxx"
After editing the message and checking it to confirm there were no issues, Tsukikawa Shu clicked send.
"Let's go. We'll help Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei level up for the next couple of days," Tsukikawa Shu said.
"Mhm." Goto Hitori was quiet at this moment, possessing quite the air of a Yamato Nadeshiko.
In reality, she was just too socially anxious to know how to start a conversation...
"You're still posting things like this?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka, who basically monitored the chatroom and forum twenty-four hours a day, quickly discovered Tsukikawa Shu's new post.
Everyone on the forum used their real names, so there was no hiding anything.
"Aren't you afraid your scumbag reputation will spread throughout the entire world?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said.
"People who haven't entered the Inner World wouldn't believe such things," Tsukikawa Shu chuckled. "As for those who have entered the Inner World, perhaps many of them are regretting why they weren't born female."
The forum didn't reveal players' original world information, but if players were willing to disclose it, their Inner World information would be clearly marked on it.
