Shinchan: Chaos of Anime Multiverse

Haruno looked at Yukino and silently sighed.

Although they had returned to being human, the problem facing the Yukinoshita family still wasn't resolved. If things continued like this, wouldn't the Yukinoshita family go bankrupt?

By then, the whole family would be burdened with debt that couldn't be repaid, and would Yukino still be able to attend Shuchiin Academy? Would Shin-chan start to despise Yukino?

If she worked hard, could she let Yukino live a normal life? But the families who had grudges against the Yukinoshita family probably wouldn't make things so easy.

To be the local big shots in Chiba, the Yukinoshita family had inevitably made a lot of enemies.

The Yukinoshita family had some influence in politics and worked in real estate. It was unavoidable that they had connections with certain syndicates. Because of that, they had also accumulated many enemies in Chiba.

If Shin-chan found out that the Yukinoshita family was on the verge of collapse, what would he choose to do?

"Yukino, do you really not want to stay at Shin-chan's place?"

"Of course not! Let's hurry up and go home! It's already so late!"

"Then Yukino, go on home first. I've got something I want to talk to Shin-chan about."

Yukino sharply sensed that something was off. What business could her sister possibly have to discuss with Shin-chan?

"It's fine, it's fine. You go ahead."

She shoved the key into Yukino's hand and pushed her out the door, sending her back home.

"Shin-chan, are you feeling a little lonely because Yukino didn't stay with you today? If you beg me, maybe big sister could stay and keep you company."

"Haruno-san, don't you get tired pretending to be someone else every single day?"

"Do you feel a sense of achievement saying things like that? Or do you want me to play along and act shy?"

"…What an unlovable brat."

Haruno had no way of dealing with Shin-chan and could only get to the point.

"Today's events were unexpected, but the fact that you recognized Yukino still made me really happy."

"But, there are some things I need to tell you in advance."

Haruno's expression turned serious. "The Yukinoshita family is in deep trouble. Bankruptcy could happen any day now. When that time comes, Yukino might not be able to keep studying at Shuchiin, and she might be burdened with debt she can never repay for the rest of her life."

"Even so, would you still treat Yukino the same way you do now?"

Love is love, but reality is reality. When love faces real-world problems, it often collapses instantly.

Haruno didn't want to see Yukino get hurt, but she also couldn't change reality. The problems in Chiba were being handled by Shigane Seiryuu. He probably didn't even know the Yukinoshita family existed. A single decision from him could push the family to ruin.

Of course, this was also due to Yukinoshita's rivals kicking them while they were down.

"Bankruptcy?"

He had just gotten his hands on those shares, and now they were about to vanish?

"Yukinoshita Real Estate's development has actually been steady, and the assets are high-quality. But most of the shares were diluted and acquired. Most likely, the Yukinoshita family will be forced out."

"Pretty funny, huh? It's our own company, and something like this still happened."

"So what will you choose?" Haruno gave a self-deprecating laugh and looked at Shin-chan.

"In other words, as long as all the shares are in the right hands, there won't be any issues?"

"That's what they say, but now Mother only holds less than 30% of the shares."

After asking the system, Shin-chan received its reply: he could choose from multiple extraction methods.

"Give me a second."

He went to his bedroom, chose to claim a reward, and a share transfer contract appeared in his hand. Shin-chan signed his name on it.

At the same time, a mysterious amount of money disappeared from the Shigane family's account, and Seiryuu got chewed out by his older brother.

"This should solve the problem, right?"

Looking at the contract Shin-chan handed over with a bit of confusion, Haruno's eyes widened.

"How do you have this? Weren't they already bought out by the Shinomiya family? Why are the shares with you?"

"If I hand these shares over to you for management, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Holding the contract, Haruno was stunned. She suddenly remembered that this kid could even kill monsters easily, and just yesterday, she and her sister had turned into cats. With Shin-chan resolving their family issues, maybe it wasn't so unacceptable after all?

In a way, both Haruno and Yukino's wishes had come true.

"Let me make a call."

Even though it was already late at night, Haruno made a call anyway. After confirming that Yukinoshita Real Estate's shares had just been consolidated and transferred, she didn't know whether to feel happy or sad.

The family's crisis had been resolved, but now all the shares were in this kid's hands. From now on, wouldn't she and Yukino be at his mercy?

She had just asked him if he wanted to eat rice bowls, and now… he could really eat them whenever he wanted.

"Are you sure you want me to manage these shares?"

"I'm really busy every day, I don't have time to deal with such trivial things."

'Trivial things?' Haruno could now understand why Yukino always lost her temper in front of Shin-chan.

"Fine, then I'll manage them. After all, you saw everything just now."

"If you ever need anything, just give me a call anytime. Any need is fine~"

After saying that, Haruno picked up the share transfer agreement Shin-chan gave her.

"I'll head back first, otherwise, Yukino might get anxious waiting."

Haruno ran away in a panic. She knew full well that right now, she couldn't refuse a single one of Shin-chan's requests.

Leaving Shin-chan's apartment, Haruno let out a breath of relief, and felt incredibly light, like a heavy shackle had been lifted from her shoulders.

She looked at the share transfer agreement in her hand. Did this mean… she could take control of her own fate now?

No matter what, Shin-chan had to be easier to deal with than their mother, right?

Maybe she would even have more say in front of their mother now? Haruno, who had always been suppressed by Yukinoshita's madam since childhood, was extremely excited.

Little did she know that beyond their mother, Ai Suotome was the real mountain she could never surpass.

———

When she knocked on the door, Yukino had already changed her clothes and was watching Haruno with obvious caution.

This little sister, she already saw her as a rival? 'Our family's shares are all in Shin-chan's hands now. Even if he wants to "eat rice bowls," our mother would probably offer the two of us up herself!'

'No, why do I keep thinking about rice bowls!?'

Not only rice bowls, she also remembered what happened when she turned into a cat earlier.

"Hurry and change your clothes. Throw them into the washer. Once they're clean, we have to return them to Shin-chan."

After everything they'd been through tonight, both Yukino and Haruno were mentally and physically exhausted.

After a quick wash, the two sisters lay down in bed.

Yukino broke the silence. "Is there anything I can do to help with the family?"

"I just spoke with Mother on the phone. The family problem has already been resolved, you don't need to worry anymore."

"Really?"

Yukino froze, she hadn't expected it to be resolved so quickly.

"Yukino."

"…Huh?"

"Congratulations. From now on, you can choose your own life."

After saying that, Haruno hugged Yukino. This is fine too, right? Anyway, if they followed the original plan, their mother would probably have made her marry someone into the family in a few years. Now, at least, they could skip that step.
