In the Multiverse, I Only Get Stronger by Taking Wives

"The profits from this instance are really high," Miyamoto Daichoku said, his envy palpable as he continuously stroked the grip of his gun.

If it were anyone else, he would have already drawn his gun and tried to snatch it. But the person in front of him now was Tsukikawa Shu, someone he couldn't afford to offend. He could only forcefully suppress the restlessness in his heart.

Meanwhile, Tsukikawa Shu was watching the confrontation outside the instance with great interest.

Glancing at the soft sunlight and the darkening sky, Tsukikawa Shu could guess what had happened outside just now.

The first thing he saw upon emerging was Ryūgamine Mikado, whom he recognized immediately. However, the latter was some distance away from the instance, and it seemed he wasn't planning to enter today.

"Let's go, let's go, don't rest, hurry up and enter the instance!"

With Kyuutake Itsuki's urging, all the players who could still fight got up and followed him towards the Goblin Instance.

However, just as Kyuutake Itsuki was about to step into the instance, a Tachi entwined with golden lightning appeared horizontally in front of him.

Kyuutake Itsuki broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stopped. If he had been a moment slower, he would have been cleaved in half by this Tachi.

"Friend, I know you're in a hurry."

Tsukikawa Shu looked at him with a half-smile, "But don't be in such a hurry."

Ryūgamine Mikado had also seen a photo of Tsukikawa Shu and was about to step forward to greet him. But then he saw Tsukikawa Shu suddenly draw his sword and had no idea what he intended to do.

I'm running out of time to farm experience, and you're telling me not to rush?! Kyuutake Itsuki was both angry and anxious, his mouth twitching.

Normally, if anyone dared to block him like this, Kyuutake Itsuki would have already swung his sword.

But standing before him was the strongest demon, Tsukikawa Shu, so he could only force a smile all over his face.

"Uh... Lord Tsukikawa, is there something else?" he asked subserviently, his smile looking rather unpleasant.

"Who gave you permission to enter the instance first?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

"This... I had already discussed it with that young brother over there."

Kyuutake Itsuki tried to suppress his rapidly escalating emotions and said with a smile, "You can ask him if you don't believe me."

"Oh." Tsukikawa Shu glanced towards Ryūgamine Mikado.

Given Ryūgamine Mikado's kind and naive personality, it was indeed the sort of unprofitable thing he would do.

"Then did you get my permission?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

Kyuutake Itsuki was stunned.

"You few, come here." Tsukikawa Shu beckoned to the five people on the other side.

"It's your turn to enter the instance now," Tsukikawa Shu said to these people.

Tsukikawa Shu had already used up his own chances. He was indifferent to who entered the instance next. However, after chatting with Fujiwara Chika earlier, he realized that this Elite Committee had serious problems.

There were at least two Player Hunters within it, and the Guild Leader, Nita Goichi, was not a good person either. If such an organization were allowed to grow, the order of the Inner World would be thrown into chaos.

Of course, these were macro-level reasons, and Tsukikawa Shu wasn't exactly a crusader for justice.

The actual reason was that Tsukikawa Shu was very displeased.

Nothing else, even though there was no prior grievance, he simply felt a wave of disgust and revulsion towards this organization.

Another thing was that this could even trigger a System quest.

[Ding! You have triggered a new quest]

[Taking a good wife requires groundwork. Your future wife is being bullied, shouldn't you strike back? And perhaps boost her affection?]

[Quest Content: Fujiwara Chika has joined an organization she is not very willing to join. Please teach this organization a lesson.]

[For every lesson you teach, the System will reward you with 1000 Refined Ore!]

[If you can't let it go, just keep teaching them.]

This System mostly remained dormant, only occasionally acting out. The quests it issued were also bizarre.

Of course, no matter how bizarre, it couldn't be stranger than the initial quests that rewarded you for marrying and having children!

Since there were System rewards, he might as well play the role of a justice bringer, contributing to the new order of this Inner World. As for this DOLLARS, it would be a favor done along the way.

The others naturally didn't know why Tsukikawa Shu had suddenly intervened.

The five people were all bewildered. They had never expected Tsukikawa Shu to suddenly step in.

"Mr. Tsukikawa, we did discuss it, and they should go in first..." Ryūgamine Mikado explained.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Yumasaki Walker, one of the core members.

"Really?"

Yumasaki Walker's eyes lit up, and his usual squinting eyes widened. "Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Tsukikawa! We will definitely remember Mr. Tsukikawa's kindness!"

Although Tsukikawa Shu looked quite young, seemingly around the same age, adding "Mr." was never wrong.

Such excitement and gratitude, bordering on fawning, made it not surprising if he were to kneel down the next second.

The profits from the instance were so immense that even the coldest person would lose their composure at this moment.

"Go in!"

Tsukikawa Shu's tone was still commanding, and he couldn't be bothered to listen to their flattery.

Ryūgamine Mikado was still confused and wanted to say something, but he was quickly nudged by his friend beside him.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Tsukikawa, we're going now."

Yumasaki Walker smiled and then forcibly dragged Ryūgamine Mikado into the instance: "Hurry up."

The few of them disappeared into the vortex of the instance's stone gate.

"...Lord Tsukikawa, this... this isn't right?"

Kyuutake Itsuki forced a smile, but he was already struggling to suppress his anger. "You've already finished your daily runs for the instance. The rest isn't your responsibility anymore, is it? Based on a first-come, first-served basis, we should be the ones running the instance!"

"Who talks about order in the Inner World?"

Tsukikawa Shu, however, started to laugh.

Kyuutake Itsuki and Miyamoto Daichoku could tell that he was deliberately targeting them!

"..."

But they couldn't beat him, so what else could they do?

Kyuutake Itsuki and Miyamoto Daichoku could only swallow their anger and return to their resting spot with gloomy expressions.

[You have successfully made the Elite Committee's defenses crumble once. System reward: Refined Ore * 1000]

Tsukikawa Shu looked at the reward he received and felt very pleased.

The members of the Elite Committee also found a temporary resting place at the edge of the town, in an abandoned hotel.

Night fell, and a bonfire was lit outside the hotel.

The high-level players of the Elite Committee were naturally in no good mood. Their strength had progressed almost nil today, but they still kept their eyes on the stone gate of the Goblin Instance, hoping that the few players from DOLLARS who had entered earlier would finish their runs and come out.

At this time, a few Shuchiin Academy students gathered around the bonfire, cooking canned food.

"By the way, do the people from the other team know Tsukikawa Shu?" Tanuma Tsubasa had always been curious.

"It seems so. If this continues, our organization won't be able to grow," Tomioki Nagisa also said with great concern.

For a team to continue growing, running instances was an unavoidable step, but being blocked by Tsukikawa Shu now was an insurmountable obstacle.

"Did someone among us offend him, or perhaps he didn't get enough benefits?" a frail-looking boy with glasses asked.

"Offend him... I don't think so. None of us know him, and we haven't had any conflicts with him, right?" Tanuma Tsubasa thought for a moment. "Except for Fujiwara."

"Ahaha, it's not really a connection, I just talked to him one-sidedly," Fujiwara Chika said with a smile.

"He didn't force you to do anything, did he? Or tempt you to do anything?" Tanuma Tsubasa asked.

"Huh? No," Fujiwara Chika blinked. "I actually think he seems quite nice."

"Quite nice? He's deliberately causing trouble for our organization, and you still think he's nice?"

A female student heard this and immediately became displeased, looking at her with suspicion. "Don't tell me you were deceived by some sweet talk?"

"A senior wouldn't be unable to judge people," Iino Miko said.

"..."

Being retorted by Iino Miko, the other party clicked her tongue in annoyance but said no more.

In terms of status and background, there were indeed few people who could be considered higher than Fujiwara Chika.

At this moment, the Shuchiin Academy students were divided into two factions. One was Fujiwara Chika's side, hoping to become stronger themselves and ensure they had a certain ability to protect themselves. The other group had a more indifferent attitude, believing they could use money and power to make the high-level players work for them, so why bother putting in the effort to level up and fight monsters themselves?

The goal of the former was in conflict with the bodyguard high-level players of the Elite Committee, and as both sides wanted to snatch resources, friction was inevitable. The latter sided with those bodyguard high-level players and provided them with various forms of support.

With different goals, there wasn't much to discuss.

As the night deepened, most of the students went to sleep, and fewer and fewer people remained by the bonfire.

Originally, some bodyguard players had been guarding the instance, hoping that the DOLLARS team would finish quickly so they could get some experience and equipment in the little time before the instance refreshed.

However, as time ticked by, by midnight, the instance count refreshed, and everyone was disappointed.

"Damn it, today was a complete waste! These guys really took their time!"

Someone angrily threw the can in their hand onto the ground.

Fujiwara Chika looked around. Her classmates had all gone to bed, and the bonfire's flames were gradually dying out.

She opened her chat window and found Tsukikawa Shu's name.

Fujiwara Chika: "Are you asleep? Can we talk in person?"

Fujiwara Chika was now certain that Tsukikawa Shu was not a bad person. Although he was indeed lustful, he was also a person with principles.

There was no perfect person in this world, and few people could achieve what Tsukikawa Shu had.

However, one couldn't judge solely by appearances. To verify her conclusion, Fujiwara Chika decided to find an opportunity to talk to him in person.

After a moment--

Tsukikawa Shu: "Doing something important. Wait twenty minutes."

"Doing something serious?"

Fujiwara Chika didn't quite understand, but since the other party said to wait a moment, she decided to wait.

The distance wasn't long, and the nearby monsters had already been cleared out by Tsukikawa Shu as bonus experience packs, so there wasn't any danger.

Entering the abandoned hotel, she saw the very handsome young man roasting sweet potatoes with plenty of fruits and melons placed beside him.

Next to them was a sofa and a coffee table, where Hiratsuka Shizuka and Goto Hitori were sitting, though their faces were somewhat flushed. Goto Hitori, in particular, was holding a cup of water and drinking, her eyes darting around.

The clothes on the two women were a bit disheveled, and their hair was somewhat stuck together, clearly soaked with sweat.

As for Tsukikawa Shu, he was even more casual, even leaving his chest bare, clearly not having tidied himself up.

Even someone completely clueless about such things could understand what had happened.

"So bold... This, this must be a threesome!"

Fujiwara Chika covered her mouth with both hands.
