In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1399 Reading the Newspaper (Part 2)

After finishing the snack.

"Alright! I'm energized now! Next, let's watch the Action Kamen show." After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, the new chef started watching Action Kamen.

Mimi reappeared, holding a strange newspaper: "What kind of newspaper is this? It's full of fake news!"

"Hehehe~ The Newspaper Freak has arrived! I will never forgive anyone who speaks ill of me!"

"Here I come!" Action Kamen makes his appearance once again.

"Action Man!" Mimi was incredibly excited when she saw Action Man.

"Finally, the monster from the Dark Legion has appeared!"

"Action Kamen Rider has appeared! I'm going to drag you into the Dark Dimension!" With that, the Newspaper Monster surrounded Action Kamen Rider and Mimiko, plunging the surrounding space into darkness. They then appeared on a moving train.

"Hehehe~ How about reading your attack while sitting in a crowded tram?" the newspaper-loving weirdo said excitedly, holding up a newspaper.

"They're actually reading a newspaper..." Mimi felt a strange sense of unease watching this scene.

"Don't do that, Newspaper Freak! You're causing trouble for everyone! Newspapers should be folded up like this to read." Action Kamen's voice was much softer as he held up a newspaper to demonstrate to the Newspaper Freak.

"Hehehe~ That would make us look so humble. It's not so bad to occasionally open the newspaper and look at it like this!"

"What a stubborn fool! Action Kamen, obey train etiquette beam!" Action Kamen quietly attacked the Newspaper Monster, instantly destroying it. As it disappeared, it left behind its last words: "Newspaper, the Newspaper Monster is disappearing~ Ah~"

"We've defeated the monster!"

"Hahaha~" A classic scene.

"Huh? Xiaoxin, didn't you come back to read the newspaper?" Mingxu walked in and saw Xiaoxin laughing wildly. He asked in confusion, his eyes falling on the newspaper on the ground.

"..." Shin-chan fell silent for a moment: "Oh yeah."

He spread the newspaper on the ground again and started reading.

Misae walked in: "Oh, so you're finally going to take it seriously."

"The things are in the warehouse, and they don't look very neat... At least pronounce them correctly." Xiao Xin read it word by word. Ming Xu's lips twitched, and he leaned closer: "Their things are in the warehouse. These things don't look very tidy... At least pronounce them correctly."

"Hey~ you can only read these words." Misae complained to Shin-chan.

"How can this be? Mom, there are too many difficult characters on this!" Xiaoxin didn't want to look at Mingxu. He felt that the guy was pretending, so he looked at Meiya and complained.

“That’s how newspapers are. Oh! Right.” Misae suddenly remembered something, picked up a children’s newspaper, and handed it to Shin-chan: “There’s a sample children’s newspaper in the mailbox.”

"Huh? Tch, a newspaper for kids, not cool at all." Shin-chan couldn't help but complain as he looked at the tiny newspaper in his hand.

"Is it really that hard for you to read children's newspapers?" Misae looked at Shin-chan with disdain.

"Wow~ there are so many pictures!" Shin-chan excitedly started looking at them in the blink of an eye.

"However, it would be good if he could develop the habit of reading newspapers." Misae looked at Shin-chan and said with a smile.

“However, I don’t think it will last long,” Mingxu shrugged.

"Yeah, that's true." Misae shook her head.

"However, Shin-chan, sometimes it's important to be yourself. If you care too much about what others think, you're not being yourself anymore," Mingxu said, giving Shin-chan a word of advice.

"I'm just being myself right now," Xiaoxin said, shaking his head at Mingxu's words.

"I hope so," Mingxu shrugged.

"Ding-dong~" Just then, the doorbell rang.

Misae was taken aback. She opened the door and found Nanako: "Nanako."

"Yes, I received a lot of souvenirs from my workplace," Nana said with a smile, handing over some snacks.

"Ah, can I accept it?" Misae asked a little shyly.

"Of course, I hope you like it." Nanako nodded with a smile, and Misae then took it: "Nanako, thank you."

"Hello, Sister Nana." Mingxu greeted her casually.

"Hello, Xiaoxu." Nanako was as gentle as ever, but Shin-chan, holding a children's newspaper, came out, leaned against the wall, and pretended to read aloud: "Oh~ the environmental pollution caused by plastic, today's Congress~"

"Hey, is Shin-chan reading the newspaper?" Nanako asked, somewhat surprised, looking at Shin-chan.

“Yes,” Mingxu said with a smile.

Misae shook her head: "You can't show off in front of Nana just because she's here."

Shin-chan ignored Misae: "Oh, the low birth rate policy, huh?"

"Oh~" Nana suddenly remembered the scene in the park, thought for a moment, and looked at Misae: "May I talk to Shin-chan alone?"

"Oh, sure." Misae nodded and agreed.

Mingxu shrugged and said, "Go ahead." With that, Meiya went into the kitchen, and Mingxu went upstairs.

"Oh, oh~" Shin-chan was still pretending.

Nanako leaned closer and looked at Shin-chan: "Shin-chan, can I talk to you?"

"Huh? Me? Wait a minute! I need to do some vocal exercises! Ah~"

"If we don't hurry, she'll be going back!" Misae pulled Shin-chan away and then went back to the kitchen.

"You, what you're going to tell me, is it... marriage?!" Shin-chan asked Nanako, his face flushed and his expression conflicted.

"Pfft~" Mingxu spat out a mouthful of water on the second floor. Good lad, you're still thinking about this.

"No, it's about the newspaper." Nana shook her head and looked at Shin-chan gently.

"Huh?" Shin-chan was a little confused.

"Shin-chan, it's a good thing to grow up, but do what you can right now. I think it's great too." Nanako looked at Shin-chan and comforted him. Shin-chan looked at Nanako and seemed to understand a lot. Thinking about what Xiaoxu had just said and combining it with Nanako's words, he suddenly understood.

Shin-chan blinked, then a bright smile spread across his face: "Yes! Nana-chan, I understand! I will enjoy every moment to the fullest and be my most authentic self!"

Seeing Shin-chan's serious expression, Nana couldn't help but reach out and pat his head: "Yes, that's it, Shin-chan is the best!"

Just then, Misae peeked out from the kitchen and, seeing this scene, smiled with satisfaction. Meanwhile, Mingxu, upstairs, overheard the conversation below and couldn't help but smile, silently happy for Shin-chan's growth.

So, the next day, Kazama was still sitting on a bench in the park with a newspaper in his arms. Mingxu couldn't help but complain, "Has this place become Kazama's respawn point?"

Kazama looked at Shin-chan speechlessly: "You really haven't grown up."

"That's not true at all~" Shin-chan quacked, jumping past Kazama: "I've already turned from a tadpole into a frog~"

“They’re tadpoles.” Kazama looked at Shin-chan speechlessly.

“Kazama, it’s sometimes important to do things that are appropriate for your age,” Mingxu said with a smile, looking at Kazama.

"Huh?" Kazama looked bewildered. What are you guys talking about?
