Shinchan: Chaos of Anime Multiverse

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: You Must Not Become a Scumbag Who Plays with Girls' Feelings!



"Auntie, it's getting late, I'll head home too."

After Eriri left, Yukino had no idea how to interact with Misae and Himawari anymore, so she also stood up to take her leave, while thinking about how to investigate the relationship between Eriri and Shin-chan.

"Shin-chan!"

After Eriri and Yukino left, Misae stood up with an unfriendly expression and walked over to Shin-chan.

"I even worried so much about you, let me warn you, you must not become a scumbag who plays with girls' feelings!"

"Mooom, how could that possibly happen!"

No matter what, Shin-chan would never deceive a girl's feelings. Whatever the relationship, Shin-chan would treat it seriously.

"Looks like you're doing pretty well. That puts my mind at ease."

"Me and Himawari are heading back too. It's getting late."

Misae glanced at the time. If they didn't leave now, Himawari would end up going to bed late.

"Bye."

Himawari gave Shin-chan a sympathetic glance. 'Sorry, I've accepted way too much from Ai-oneechan, I can't go back anymore!'

After escorting his mother and sister downstairs and watching them get into the car, Shin-chan finally let out a breath.

The busy weekend had finally ended. 'Why is this weekend so exhausting?'

———

Elsewhere, Eriri was staring blankly at her phone. After thinking over and over, she suddenly realized she didn't need to be so afraid, nor did she need to feel guilty.

She was no longer the helpless Kei. Ai Suotome wasn't even with Shin-chan anymore, so what was she afraid of?

[Eriri: That's right! I came to see Master today! So what?]

Eriri turned out to be quite courageous, which made Ai-chan even more intrigued.

[Ai-chan: Oh? Did Eriri greet Mother-in-law?]

[Eriri: Misae Auntie is not your Mother-in-law]

[Ai-chan: But I've been calling her that since I was five, you know.]

Teasing Eriri was honestly so fun. Even with her busy schedule, Ai-chan's exhausted heart felt re-energized.

After chatting for a bit, Eriri realized that Ai-chan didn't seem like she came to interrogate her at all.

Which made sense. Suotome Ai should be feeling guilty right now, shouldn't she? After all, in that other world, she was the one who left Shin-chan, while Eriri was the one who stayed by Shin-chan's side until the very end of her life.

Thinking of that, Eriri's confidence returned. 'So what if she's the young lady of the Suotome family? I, Eriri, will never lose to anyone in my life!'

What Eriri didn't know was, Ai-chan didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, she possessed a calmness born of having everything in the palm of her hand.

———

Just as Shin-chan got home and turned on the computer, planning to game for a bit, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a number he didn't recognize.

[Hello? Sorry, may I ask if this is Nohara Shinnosuke?]

As soon as he answered, a gentle female voice came from the other end.

"This is he"

[Hello, I'm Machida Sonoko, the current chief editor of Fushikawa Publishing. I'm calling because I'd like to speak with you regarding your shares.]

Machida Sonoko was extremely excited. She had only just joined Fushikawa Publishing recently, and yet the company had been acquired by the renowned Suotome Group. When the Suotome family's young lady came to inspect the company, she'd only exchanged a few words with Sonoko, yet made her the chief editor.

After that, she was given a task: handle the shareholding matters with this Mr. Nohara, and make sure to deposit his monthly dividends.

Although this sort of arrangement didn't strictly follow company policy, the company belonged to someone else, the money belonged to someone else, she was just an employee.

"Alright, go ahead."

That day, when he parted ways with Hiratsuka Shizuka, the system had already notified him that the mission was complete and the shares had been transferred to his name.

But as for how to use those shares, whether to sell them or keep them, Shin-chan wasn't too sure.

He was planning to look into this Fushikawa Publishing today, and just then, the call came through.

[Because the company has now been acquired by the Suotome family, you are the only major shareholder besides them. According to our group's policy, we'll deposit your monthly dividends into your designated bank account.]

'It was acquired by the Suotome family? Ai-chan is way too considerate. But… how did Ai-chan know? Could it be… every move I made was under Ai-chan's observation?'

"Alright, I don't have any issues on my end."

[That's great. This month's dividend will be deposited in three days.]

[If anything else comes up, Director Nohara may contact me directly.]

After hanging up, Shin-chan didn't feel anything in particular. He had no real concept of money and wasn't very materialistic. He was easily satisfied.

The reason he wanted some funds on hand now was simply because it would save him a lot of trouble and spare him from worrying over minor things.

After all, it wasn't even mid-month yet, and he had already bought a fruit gift box for Eriri's family, plus a ton of snacks. The allowance Hiroshi gave him wasn't much, and it definitely wouldn't last until the end of the month.

Sure, if he ran out of money he could get a part-time job, but Shin-chan felt like his weekends might be too packed. He probably wouldn't have time for one.

After all, weekends were for relaxing, spacing out, watching the latest episode of Action Mask, and practicing kendo.

Speaking of which, for kendo practitioners above sixth dan, the Kendo Association would give out a pretty generous subsidy every month. After participating in the Jade Dragon banner, he'd also have to take the dan ranking exam.

———

Early the next morning, the long-silent Shuchiin Academy became lively again.

Shin-chan arrived particularly early today, even earlier than Kazama.

"Shin-chan, why'd you come so early today?"

Kazama had attended cram school all day yesterday, without a single break, and now looked visibly tired. He was surprised to see Shin-chan dozing off at his desk already.

"By the way, there's a soccer activity in PE class today. Are you participating?"

As class president, Kazama had to take care of all the class's big and small matters. Shuchiin Academy always had a ton of events, today's PE class included a soccer match. Though they called it a match, it was really just a fun activity for after class.

"I'll pass. Not really interested."

Kazama nodded, just as he'd expected. Shin-chan clearly wasn't interested in this kind of thing.

The first class was still Japanese literature with Hiratsuka Shizuka. But today, Hiratsuka didn't even dare look Shin-chan in the eye, which allowed him to peacefully catch up on some sleep.
