Shinchan: Chaos of Anime Multiverse

Following her sister's footsteps, under the monk's guidance, they arrived at the inner part of the temple. This temple wasn't very big, and the interior layout was rather compact. All the decorations inside were very new, far from the image of those famous ancient temples one would normally imagine.

Yukino seriously doubted whether a temple like this could truly be effective. 'Could it be a scam?'

She also didn't know what exactly had happened at home, to make even her always composed grandfather so flustered. Could it be that people just got like this when they got old?

"Ladies, just burn some incense and make a wish here."

The monk led the two of them to a small room behind the temple's main hall. This room was much smaller, and inside was a very strangely shaped Buddha statue.

The statue was wrapped in a red cloth, hiding its true form. Yukino felt this Buddha statue was much smaller than usual ones, but didn't think much of it. She only wanted to leave this weird temple as soon as possible.

Following the monk's instructions, the Yukinoshita sisters each lit three sticks of incense. Then, after taking the red envelopes handed over by Yukinoshita Haruno, the two monks beamed with joy.

"Please accept these protective charms, and make sure to carry them with you for at least one week."

"As long as you keep them with you, your wishes will surely come true!"

Haruno smiled indifferently and accepted the charm, then passed one to Yukino.

"It's a bit too late tonight, the dorm's probably already locked. How about staying at your place?"

Yukino shot Haruno a look of disgust. "Such a scumbag-like line."

But she didn't refuse. Just right for asking her sister tonight about what exactly had happened at home.

When leaving the temple, Yukino for some reason suddenly had the urge to turn around and look. She turned to see a seductive woman in a black kimono standing in place, staring directly at the two of them.

The woman was so beautiful that she seemed to be from a different art style than the other worshippers around. But when Yukino looked more closely, the woman was gone.

'Strange.' Yukino rubbed her eyes but still couldn't see any trace of that woman. Had she disappeared into thin air?

The driver dropped the sisters off at the apartment and left.

"So tired… Yukino, I don't know why, but I've been super sleepy since earlier."

Ever since leaving the temple, Haruno had been feeling extremely fatigued, so sleepy that she just wanted to lie down right away.

"I'm not washing up tonight. Yukino, you won't mind, right?"

Yukino wasn't in much better shape than Haruno, she was so drowsy she could barely stand.

"I'm a bit sleepy too… How about we sleep first, then wash up later?"

The two sisters stumbled into the bedroom. They didn't even have the energy to take off their clothes and fell asleep as soon as they lay down.

With the last bit of strength, Haruno pulled Yukino into her arms and fell asleep with a happy face.

To thank Shin-chan for sparring with her in sword practice, Busujima Saeko had invited him out for dinner.

Originally, Saeko had planned to bring Shin-chan to her house, but because a special episode of Action Kamen was airing that night, Shin-chan just grabbed a bowl of ramen with Saeko and rushed off right after.

He jogged all the way just to catch the anime.

Downstairs at the apartment, a woman in a black kimono was slowly approaching. She was beautiful, but gave off the vibe of a withering rose, cold and fragile.

She was none other than the bakeneko from the temple.

In legends, bakeneko eat humans, then transform into the person they devoured and use their appearance to trick others. By feeding on humans, they maintain their spiritual energy and continue training.

However, such transformations don't last long. Each form only lasts for a short period. Clearly, this bakeneko had set its eyes on the beautiful Yukinoshita sisters.

'Which one should I eat first? The older sister, or the younger one?' Thinking this, she couldn't help but lick her lips.

"Make way! Make way!"

Just as she was deciding which one to eat first, an urgent voice came from behind.

Looking back, the bakeneko's eyes lit up when she saw Shin-chan.

'What a perfect body!' Just looking at it made her mouth water. If she could just have a bite, it would be the ultimate pleasure for a cat demon.

No, wait. How could she eat such a delicacy all at once? She had to keep this man, raise him like a pet.

"Hey there, young man~ What's the rush?" The bakeneko put on a coquettish expression, her face full of seductive charm.

"Ah?" Shin-chan looked at her strangely, then immediately pinched his nose.

"You smell so bad!"

This woman was clearly beautiful and had a great figure, but Shin-chan felt no interest, just revulsion.

On top of that, he smelled a musky animal stench on her. If it weren't for his training from Hiroshi's smelly socks, he might've thrown up on the spot.

'Smelly?' The bakeneko was furious. How dare he say she stank? She had carefully selected this body, if it weren't just about to rot, she wouldn't even think of changing.

With this body, she had tricked so many people. And this brat dared say she smelled bad?

"Impossible. Must be your imagination, little guy. I lost my wallet and keys, could you help me out?"

With her experience, this body of hers was a certified beauty, once she opened her mouth, these filthy men would fall for it instantly.

"Unbearably stinky! Lost your stuff? Go find the police! Looking at you any longer kills my hype for Action Kamen!"

The woman was indeed beautiful, but that faint stench made Shin-chan extremely annoyed. And a random woman who flirted like this, what good could come from her?

After saying this, Shin-chan ignored her and ran toward the apartment. Any later and he'd miss the show.

Watching Shin-chan run away, the bakeneko's face twisted, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

'You little brat! Just you wait! I'll definitely raise you as my pet!'

She couldn't be bothered with the still-unconscious Yukinoshita sisters in the apartment anymore. The bakeneko sniffed the air and chased after Shin-chan's scent.

Just as Shin-chan turned on the TV, there was a rapid knock at the door, and that really ticked him off.

Why couldn't he just watch TV in peace?

He adjusted the channel. The knocking stopped. Then, click, the sound of the door unlocking echoed through the room.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Shiro, who had been curled up beside Shin-chan, suddenly sprang up and barked furiously at the door, as if it sensed something terrifying.

Bang!

The front door slammed shut. A chilling giggle echoed from the doorway.

"Hehehe… little guy, why won't you help me?"

"And this little dog, so interesting. Could it be that it has some yokai blood too?"

The bakeneko now believed she had everything under control. She closed the door and slowly stepped into the room, as if savoring the pleasure of cornering her prey.

"Little guy, if you beg for mercy now, maybe I'll let you live."

'Weird, why isn't this boy saying anything? Is he too scared?' The bakeneko was puzzled.

She stepped into the room, and saw a boy holding a short blade, the blade half-drawn, gleaming under the lamp light.

His eyes were fierce, staring straight at her.

This boy was the swordmaster of this era, Shin-chan.
