Shinchan: Chaos of Anime Multiverse

After a brief hesitation, Eriri asked the most crucial question in her heart.

"Um, is Shiro a boy or a girl?"

"Shiro is of course a boy. Does Eriri want to meet Shiro?"

"Sure…"

Hearing that Shiro was a boy, Eriri finally let out a sigh of relief.

If Shiro had been a girl, Eriri would've had no choice but to suspect, maybe this Shiro was also a beautiful girl like herself.

If one really had to say it, she was the outsider, wasn't she? But the time she had spent with Shin-chan was actually longer than Shiro's, right?

Thinking about Shiro's age, Eriri sighed. As a "former dog" herself, she understood that increasing sense of helplessness that came with age even more deeply.

The aging speed of dogs really was too fast. As the years passed, they'd lose the vitality they once had, no longer able to accompany their masters like they used to.

Eriri decided that this time, she would take good care of Shiro together with Shin-chan.

[Shiro: Are you sure I'm not the one taking care of you two?]

In another world, Shin-chan had taken care of Eriri down to the tiniest detail. A big part of that was because Shiro was too understanding. After Shiro passed away, Shin-chan finally realized, there were many times when he actually could've done better.

Humans always learn to treasure things after they've lost them.

Meanwhile, in the reception room outside, the three little ones who originally had a good impression of Utaha fell into despair, this woman was a devil no less terrifying than Nene.

She clearly had a great figure and such a quiet, pretty face, so why was her tongue so venomous?

For a bunch of just-turned-18-year-olds, Utaha was basically their ideal dream girl. But her mouth was really too ruthless.

After picking up the script, Kasumigaoka also got into character. She could always change the direction of the plot at just the right time, making it even more melodramatic.

"Kazama Toru, right! Why can't you take your role seriously! You're the male lead who strives to improve himself, why are you acting so sluggish!"

Kazama's face turned bitter. This senpai was way too overbearing, even scarier than Nene.

Now Kazama could understand Shin-chan. When he said he liked older women, he definitely had to add the word "gentle." It turns out being gentle really was important.

Even though Kasumigaoka was playing the female lead, after her modifications, the originally gentle female lead had become a cold and sharp-tongued cool beauty. Kazama not only didn't get any benefits, he had to endure relentless ridicule from both Nene and Kasumigaoka.

Nene gave Kasumigaoka a satisfied glance, she hadn't expected this senpai to be so good at it. Who would've thought she'd meet such a kindred spirit here today.

"Hehe, Kazama, you're trying pretty hard, huh!"

The rice ball head (Masao) had originally been a bit dissatisfied with his own role, but now he realized, even Kazama's male lead wasn't that great.

"Kid! When are you going to repay the loan you owe us!"

Bo was playing a gang leader. Although his runny nose ruined the mood a bit, when he got serious, Bo really did have quite the presence.

This wasn't Shin-chan's first time combing and braiding a girl's hair. The first person to enjoy Shin-chan's service was Himawari, after all. The two siblings had lived together for so many years. With how much Shin-chan doted on Himawari, though he'd never admit it verbally, his actions were very honest.

Back when Misae and Hiroshi were busy, it was Shin-chan who took care of Himawari. Their sibling bond was far better than it looked on the surface.

Very quickly, Shin-chan braided two pigtail braids for Eriri. With today's Lolita long dress, she looked even more like a plush toy.

Unfortunately, plush toys weren't all about cuteness. Eriri now looked just like a soft, sweet-smelling little cake, but she was so ornate and luxurious that it didn't spark that "want to take a bite" feeling. At least not for Shin-chan right now.

"Master, am I pretty?"

"You're very pretty."

Shin-chan's evaluation was very objective. From any angle, Eriri was an undeniable beautiful girl. The only regret was, she could only be a beautiful girl.

Hearing her Master's praise, Eriri was extremely happy. She subconsciously wanted to wag her tail, only to realize that she didn't have that thing anymore.

If she pretended to wag it, would Shin-chan like it? Hmm…

Eriri seemed to be drifting into another one of her doujin-style daydreams.

"Ouch!"

Seeing Eriri's expression, Shin-chan knocked her on the forehead. 'What's this Eriri thinking again?'

In that other world, when she was a little dog, she often made this kind of face, and nobody knew what she was imagining.

Eriri held her forehead after the knock, her fantasy forcibly interrupted. But she was still really happy. Back when she was Eriri, all she could do was imagine. But now that she had regained her identity as a beautiful girl, it wasn't just imagination anymore!

"All right, Eriri. Let's go out and see how they're doing."

"Okay."

Eriri didn't object. After getting a bit of alone time with Shin-chan, she was already deeply satisfied.

This might be one of the "loser dog" traits too, easy to satisfy.

Eriri also had her own plans. With over ten years' worth of memories, she was already one step ahead.

Instead of boldly attacking, it was better to slowly nurture affection through gentle warmth. Shin-chan wasn't very upfront, so all the kindness people showed him, he'd remember deeply.

'Just wait, Suotome Ai!'

Seeing the two walk out of the room, Sayuri, who had been secretly watching from the surveillance room, immediately looked over.

Just now, she had been completely absorbed by the ultra-realistic pretend play. For a married woman, this kind of complex ethical drama was just too captivating.

Upon closer inspection, Sayuri noticed that Eriri now had two braids in her hair. She definitely hadn't tied those herself. Who would've thought this little brat Shin-chan was so skilled! No wonder he had Eriri wrapped around his finger like this.

Sayuri now liked Shin-chan more and more. He had gone into Eriri's room to be alone with her, and even tied braids for her, too slick.

Back in the reception room, Nene and Utaha seemed fully immersed in their roles. They were holding the script, constantly pointing and criticizing the three already-exhausted boys.

"Ahem… it's getting late. Should we start preparing to head back?"

Seeing the state of the three, Shin-chan couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. He didn't expect Nene and Kasumigaoka to hit it off this well. Better leave while they still could.

"What do you mean 'late'! It's only a bit past 3! We have to at least play until 6, right?!"

Nene glared over. It was rare for her to have this much fun, and to meet a kindred spirit like Utaha. How could they leave so early?
