Title: He Really Can Eat Donburi to His Heart’s Content

Haruno looked at Yukino and sighed softly.

Although they had returned to human form, the problems facing the Yukinoshita family had not been resolved. If things continued like this, the Yukinoshita family would go bankrupt.

At that time, the entire family would bear insurmountable debts. Would Yukino still be able to attend Shuchi’in Academy? Would Shinnosuke be disgusted with Yukino?

If she worked hard, could she make Yukino live a normal life? The families hostile to the Yukinoshita family might not let her off so easily.

As local rulers in Chiba, the Yukinoshita family must have offended many people.

The Yukinoshita family had influence in the political world and was involved in real estate, so inevitably there would be connections with certain organizations. It was precisely because of this that the Yukinoshita family in Chiba had many enemies.

If Shinnosuke knew the Yukinoshita family was in great trouble, what would he choose?

“Yukino-chan really doesn’t want to stay at Nohara-kun’s place?”

“Of course not! Let’s go home quickly! What time is it already!”

“Then Yukino-chan should go home first, I have something I want to talk to Nohara-kun about.”

Yukino sharply sensed that something was wrong. What business did her older sister have with Shinnosuke?

“Alright, alright, you go home first.”

She put the key in Yukino’s hand, pushed her out the door, and saw her off home.

“Nohara-kun, Yukino isn’t keeping you company today, are you very disappointed? If you beg me, maybe Nee-san can keep you company, you know.”

“Haruno-san, aren’t you tired of pretending like that every day?”

“Does saying that make you feel very accomplished? Or should I cooperate with you and pretend to be shy?”

“...Really a little kid who’s not funny.”

Haruno really couldn’t do anything about Shinnosuke, so she could only say what she thought.

“Today’s incident was an accident, but I’m very glad you could recognize Yukino-chan.”

“However, there are some things I wanted to tell you beforehand.”

Haruno’s expression turned serious.

“The Yukinoshita family is now in a major crisis and could go bankrupt at any time. At that time, Yukino-chan might not be able to continue her studies at Shuchi’in Academy, and might even bear debts that she can’t repay in her lifetime.”

“Even so, will you still associate with Yukino-chan as usual?”

Feelings are feelings, reality is reality. Feelings in the face of real problems are often fragile.

Haruno didn’t want to see Yukino get hurt and couldn’t change this reality. The affairs in Chiba were handled by Shinomiya Seiryu. He might not even know of the Yukinoshita family’s existence. Just one decision could cause the Yukinoshita family to almost collapse.

Of course, this might also be related to the Yukinoshita family’s opponents taking advantage of the situation.

“Bankrupt?”

The shares she had just obtained and hadn’t had time to enjoy would be gone?

“The development of Yukinoshita Real Estate is actually very good, and its assets are also high-quality, but most of its shares have been diluted and acquired. The Yukinoshita family is likely to be eliminated.”

“Funny, isn’t it? Clearly it’s your own family’s company, but something like this can happen.”

“Then what will you choose?”

Haruno laughed self-deprecatingly and looked at Shinnosuke.

“In other words, as long as you can ensure all the shares are in hand, there will be no problem?”

“That’s what’s said, but now the shares in mother’s hands are less than 30%.”

After asking the system, Shinnosuke received an answer from the system that he could choose various methods of reward withdrawal.

“Wait a moment.”

He went to his bedroom, chose to withdraw the reward, and a share transfer agreement appeared in his hand. Shinnosuke signed his name on the contract.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

At the same time, the Shinomiya family mysteriously lost a sum of money, causing Shinomiya Seiryu to be severely scolded by his older brother.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

“This should solve the problem, right?”

Haruno looked at the contract Shinnosuke handed over in confusion and widened her eyes.

“How do you have this? Weren’t they already bribed by the Shinomiya family? Why are the shares in your hands?”

“I’ll give these shares to you to manage, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

Haruno held the contract, a little bewildered. Suddenly, she remembered that this boy in front of her could even easily kill youkai, and today he and her sister had also turned into cats. The family problem being solved by Shinnosuke didn’t seem unacceptable?

From a certain point of view, Haruno and Yukino’s wishes had indeed come true.

“Wait a moment, I want to make a call.”

Although it was late at night, Haruno still made a call and confirmed that Yukinoshita Real Estate’s shares had indeed just been integrated and acquired by someone. Haruno didn’t know whether she should be happy or sad.

The Yukinoshita family’s problem was solved, but all the shares fell into the hands of this little boy. Wouldn’t she and Yukino be easily controlled by him in the future?

Just now she asked if Shinnosuke wanted to eat donburi, and now he could really eat donburi to his heart’s content!

“Are you sure you want to give all these shares to me to manage?”

“I’m very busy every day, I don’t have time to deal with these unimportant things.”

‘Unimportant things?’

Haruno could understand why Yukino was always angry when facing Shinnosuke.

“Then just give these shares to me to manage, after all, you saw everything earlier.”

“If there’s anything you need in the future, just call me anytime. Anything you need is fine, you know~”

After finishing speaking, Haruno took the share transfer agreement Shinnosuke gave her.

“I’ll go home first, Yukino-chan will wait too long.”

Haruno fled in a hurry because she knew that she couldn’t refuse Shinnosuke’s request at this time at all.

Leaving Shinnosuke’s apartment, Haruno sighed in relief and also felt very light, as if releasing shackles that had weighed her down for many years.

Looking at the share transfer agreement in her hand, did this mean she could control her own destiny?

In any case, Shinnosuke should be easier to get along with than her mother.

Even in front of her mother, she would have more say? Haruno, who had been suppressed by Madam Yukinoshita since childhood, felt extremely happy.

Unbeknownst to her, besides Madam Yukinoshita, Suotome Ai was another insurmountable mountain.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

After knocking on the door, Yukino had already changed her clothes and looked at Haruno very warily.

‘This younger sister, has she already regarded him as an enemy? All our family’s shares are in Nohara-kun’s hands. Even if he wants to eat donburi, mother will definitely hand over both of us directly.’

‘No, why do I keep thinking about donburi?’

Not only thinking about donburi, but also thinking about what happened when she had just turned into a cat.

“Quickly change your clothes, put the clothes in the washing machine, and after washing, they must be returned to Nohara-kun.”

After experiencing so many things in one night, Yukino and Haruno felt very tired.

After taking a shower and washing their faces briefly, the two sisters lay on the bed.

Yukino broke the silence.

“Family matters, is there anything I can help with?”

“I already called mother just now, family matters are settled, you don’t need to worry.”

“Really?”

Yukino was stunned for a moment, not expecting family matters to be resolved so quickly.

“Yukino-chan.”

“Ah?”

“Congratulations, you can freely choose your own path in life from now on.”

After finishing speaking, Haruno hugged Yukino.

This wasn’t bad either, right? In any case, according to the original plan, mother would also find her a man in a few years to live with and become part of the Yukinoshita family, now it just saved this step.
