In the Multiverse, Only Wife-Taking Makes Me Stronger

"If I were to marry someone else, you'd kill them too, right?"

Then, Fujiwara Chika leaned her head on Tsukikawa Shu's shoulder and said with a smile, "If that's how things are going to be, then there's no need to worry about anyone else..."

However, as she felt the body heat of the opposite sex and listened to Tsukikawa Shu's gentle breathing, her face suddenly flushed.

So this is why my heart beats so fast when I'm this close to a guy...

Fujiwara Chika had initially thought she could take the lead, but in reality, with her limited knowledge on the subject, she quickly found herself defeated.

It makes sense, after all, Tsukikawa Shu already has two wives. It's just that he and I are the same age, so I mistakenly thought he was a shy young boy. My calculations were off.

"Then, why don't we just be straightforward about it," she mumbled softly.

"Family reasons are also something we must consider," Tsukikawa Shu agreed with a nod, then looked at Fujiwara Chika, who was hugging him. "But since you're willing to sign a contract with me, it becomes my responsibility."

"I will only consider your opinion. If your family disagrees, I will persuade them for you."

His tone was calm, yet the young man before her possessed an undeniable, authoritative charm. Fujiwara Chika also believed he would do as he said.

"It's not that serious, but with you here, I don't have to worry anymore," Fujiwara Chika paused, then added, "Of course, don't be rough with my grandpa, he's already very old."

Hugging Tsukikawa Shu, Fujiwara Chika swiped her hand and brought up the System Backpack, finding the Destiny Contract.

"I'm going to sign it now," she said. "You have to be responsible for me."

"Our destinies will be intertwined from this moment on, and I will do everything in my power to protect you."

Tsukikawa Shu also smiled, holding Fujiwara Chika close, their heads resting together.

Fujiwara Chika swiped her finger, and a prompt popped up from the System:

[You have signed a Marriage Contract with Fujiwara Chika. Your destinies are now mutually bound.]
[Your current partner count: 3]
[You have completed the System quest "Take a Wife and Have Children". Evaluating partner "Fujiwara Chika" score...]
[Fujiwara Chika's score: S]
[System is now issuing rewards...]
[You have obtained Talent: Son of Destiny]
[You have obtained Instance Speed-Up Card *50, Experience Card *50, Refined Ore *10000, Exclusive Class Card *1, Exclusive Skill Card *1]

Another brand-new Talent.

The other rewards were also very generous, but what Tsukikawa Shu valued most was the Talent.

This was the only ultimate reward that could be obtained solely through System quests.

[Son of Destiny: When you obtain this Talent, it proves your luck is already extraordinary. However, your Luck value will now reach heights you never imagined. Even conditions with the lowest probability are likely to occur for you.] [Rescuing yourself from desperate situations, finding light in darkness, turning misfortune into fortune. As long as the probability is not zero, there is a chance for the Talent to trigger.]

This was an even more incredible Talent.

Tsukikawa Shu was secretly overjoyed.

While his luck had always been quite good, it wasn't possible for everything to go smoothly. This Talent undoubtedly provided a safeguard for his future.

Luck had always been an ethereal thing, yet it was also the most scarce and precious, an important resource that could not be obtained through any channel!

With this Talent, the probability of obtaining better rewards when opening treasure chests, exploring, or running dungeons would greatly increase.

Furthermore, in future desperate situations, this Talent could also be life-saving. This was the Son of Destiny!

Tsukikawa Shu had now obtained three Talents:

1. Double Experience. 2. Double Dungeon Drop, Instance Promotion. 3. Son of Destiny.

"Thank you so much!"

Tsukikawa Shu suddenly hugged Fujiwara Chika tightly.

"What are you doing, why all of a sudden..."

Her face turned red again. Facing his broad chest, she appeared both shy and flustered.

The two embraced under the night sky.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere gradually became more intimate.

This was the Inner World; there was no time or conditions for idle romance. Moreover, things like Marriage Contracts were also straightforward, a one-step process.

"..."

The blush on Fujiwara Chika's face did not fade with time; instead, it grew redder, becoming a delicate, alluring hue.

Their chests pressed together, and gradually, Fujiwara Chika could sense that the most important and most nerve-wracking moment of life was quietly approaching.

"Do you know what spouses do after getting married?" Tsukikawa Shu asked.

"Mm... I do know about that kind of thing..."

Fujiwara Chika mumbled, her voice barely audible, burying her head in Tsukikawa Shu's chest. She kept her head buried low, not daring to look up.

"So... is it okay now?"

Tsukikawa Shu whispered by her ear, asking gently.

Even Tsukikawa Shu's breathing had become somewhat heavy at this moment.

Fujiwara Chika didn't answer immediately. She hesitated for a while longer, finally managing to calm some of the anxiety in her heart.

"Mhm!"

She nodded emphatically.

However, her body remained as stiff as a stone.

The delicate girl in his arms was usually lively and curious about the unknown, often coming up with mischievous ideas. Yet, when faced with such a momentous occasion in life, she was like a startled rabbit, restless and anxious.

"Oh, wait, I still need to wait a moment." Tsukikawa Shu suddenly remembered something.

"W-what is it?" Fujiwara Chika was still very nervous.

Could he be planning some embarrassing play... like in the many manga I've secretly read?

"I forgot to bring it. I need to get someone to bring it."

Tsukikawa Shu said.

In the hall, Goto Hitori was starting a fire to roast sweet potatoes.

"Hehehe, I'm quite capable, aren't I? I can live independently from now on. If I get hungry, I can just dig up sweet potatoes."

She happily and proudly took down the roasted sweet potato.

Before the Inner World appeared, she had also thought about what profession she would pursue when she grew up.

But considering her social anxiety and clumsy hands, she would probably starve to death...

Picking up a cardboard box, strumming an old guitar, humming a four-beat song.

Squatting in a forgotten, damp, and moldy place, singing songs with no audience to the sound of rain.

The crowds still dispersed aimlessly towards their destinations, busy yet unproductive.

Perhaps someone, tired, would stop for a moment before leaving, leaving behind two bronze coins worn by time...

"I don't want a life like that!!!"

Goto Hitori went crazy just thinking about it!

Of course, with too much dark history, this was just a part of her usual episodes.

After twitching and rolling on the ground like she had a sudden case of cyberpsychosis, Goto Hitori returned to normal and nonchalantly peeled the sweet potato skin, taking a bite.

Mmm... it seems a bit too burnt. It's fine, the more burnt, the tastier.

I'm not picky anyway, I could probably live on garbage...

For Goto Hitori, whose reaction time and practical skills were also low, this was already a significant improvement.

"Hitori!"

However, she then heard Tsukikawa Shu calling her.

"What is it, what is it?"

Goto Hitori quickly got up and went to the doorway.

Then, she saw the two people embracing. She looked at Tsukikawa Shu, then at Fujiwara Chika.

Fujiwara Chika's face was still flushed red.

That was fast... It hasn't even been a month, and he's already brought back two. Goto Hitori thought.

Including me, that makes three.

"So soon, are we going to... do it with three people?"

Seeing Goto Hitori enter, Fujiwara Chika clearly misunderstood and became even more nervous.

She remembered seeing the three of them that night, their faces sweaty and breathless, with only a few clothes loosely draped over them, looking disheveled.

"No, no, no, I don't have any such plans." Tsukikawa Shu said, "At least not yet."

So there will be in the future. Fujiwara Chika thought.

Imagining that scene... it's too embarrassing.

"Hitori, you still have some left in that box, right? Give them all to me."

Tsukikawa Shu smiled and held out his hand to Goto Hitori.

"There are indeed some left..."

Goto Hitori felt around in her pocket and pulled out an opened box of daily necessities.

Due to the three of them interacting so frequently, even the box Goto Hitori had was only half full.

Looking at the small packaging box, Fujiwara Chika's eyes flickered, filled with shyness and curiosity.

Given her family's strict rules, it was impossible for her to come into contact with such things, but that didn't stop her from learning about their uses from various strange manga.

Tsukikawa Shu took the box of essential daily necessities from Goto Hitori.

Goto Hitori stood outside the door, watching it close, and scratched her head.

Why does it feel like Tsukikawa Shu never bought these things for himself? It seems like he's always just used other people's stuff...

And now he's even taking things I bought... well, not exactly bought.

Anyway, he's taking my things to give to other women to use... doesn't that feel a little weird?

Rustling sounds came from inside the room, familiar ones.

"Forget it, I'll just eat sweet potato then."

Goto Hitori pretended not to hear, holding her half-eaten roasted sweet potato, and happily went off to enjoy it by herself.

Oh well, I'm used to it anyway.

The next morning.

Tsukikawa Shu woke up as usual.

Dealing with Fujiwara Chika was easy.

From the very beginning, Fujiwara Chika had been lying there stiffly, her face flushed red, too afraid to move. She bit her lip tightly, and it looked like beads of sweat had formed from the pain, yet she still didn't dare to make a sound.
