Crayon Shin-chan: As someone who's traveled through time, all I want is a huge reward!

Immediately afterward, Lin Yu began attempting to transform into a demon. Demon transformation requires activating the "demon blood" dormant within the body, but the process may result in a loss of reason as a side effect. He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to awaken that special power. Instantly, a chilling aura swept over his entire body, his pupils turned scarlet, sharp fangs emerged from the corners of his mouth, and his fingernails became sharp and jet black.

He could clearly feel his senses becoming unusually sharp; he could hear the distant wind, the crawling of insects underground, and even smell the scent of wild animals several kilometers away. He stood up, moving several times faster than usual, and with a light leap, he jumped onto a three-meter-high rock, leaving deep scratches easily as his palms grazed it.

But soon, the side effects began to appear. A bloodthirsty desire grew in his heart, and thoughts of attack flashed through his mind. Reason was like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. Lin Yu gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing his instincts, and used all his strength to mobilize his mental power, slowly withdrawing the demonic power.

A few minutes later, his crimson pupils returned to normal, and his fangs and black fingernails gradually disappeared. Lin Yu was covered in cold sweat and slumped to the ground, his heart still pounding. "The explosive power and sensory enhancement of the demon form are indeed astonishing, but the side effects are too dangerous. If I lose control in a crowd, the consequences would be unimaginable." He frowned and decided that he would never use the demon form lightly again unless absolutely necessary.

Fortunately, with his current physical condition, he could easily withstand all of this. If he were still an ordinary person using these extraordinary skills, he would probably be dead here today.

After several attempts, Lin Yu composed himself and headed towards the Westworld laboratory. He planned to discuss with Wanma and Okikawa whether they could develop a device to extend the duration of his demonic sanity.

After all, this extraordinary skill has enormous potential, and if it can be properly controlled, it will definitely be of great use in the future.

When Lin Yu arrived at the laboratory, Wanma was hunched over a table piled with parts, sketching and writing on a robot modification blueprint, while Tongchuan was adjusting the parameters of the energy core.

Hearing footsteps, the two looked up at the same time. Upon seeing Lin Yu, Tong Chuan was the first to stand up and ask, "Lin Yu, what brings you here?"

Lin Yu walked to the table, pulled up a chair and sat down, then recounted the process of his attempt at becoming a ghost and the problems he encountered.

When Wanma heard that "demonization will cause loss of intelligence," his eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed Lin Yu's arm: "You mean, this skill has clear limitations on its use? That's great! As long as we find the root of the limitations, we can find a way to optimize it!"

Okegawa also came over and pushed up his glasses: "I think we can start with the problem of dementia caused by demonization. Perhaps we can develop a neural inhibition device that can stabilize your brain nerves and suppress your bloodlust through a weak current."

Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you! Just tell me what materials you need, and I'll prepare them."

Fortunately, the two were too preoccupied with their research to ask Lin Yu where he got the skill, otherwise Lin Yu would have had a hard time answering them.

After Lin Yu returned to the real world, Xiao Chun had already prepared a bath for him. After taking a shower and spending some time with Xiao Chun, Lin Yu prepared to go to sleep, since he had invited Ohara Nanako to go on a date with him the next day.

In the early morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Lin Yu got up early and carefully tidied himself up—changing into the high-end sneakers he had just won, paired with simple casual wear, and even placing a bouquet of sunflowers given to him by a fan on the passenger seat.

With everything prepared, he drove the Batmobile to Nanako Ohara's house, feeling both excited and a little nervous. After all, he planned to use this date to get Nanako Ohara to accept his harem idea.

However, given how intelligent Nanako Ohara is, she must know quite a bit.

When they arrived downstairs, Nanako Ohara just happened to push open the door and come out.

She wore a light blue dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, a faint smile on her face. The moment she saw Lin Yu, her cheeks flushed slightly. "Have you been waiting long?" She walked to the car, her gaze falling on the sunflower on the passenger seat, her eyes brightening.

"I just arrived not long ago." Lin Yu got out of the car and opened the door for her, smiling as he said, "I saw the sunflowers in front of the flower shop and thought they suited you perfectly." Ohara Nanako took the flowers, gently touched the petals with her fingertips, whispered "thank you," and got into the car.

The two first visited the open-air art museum in Kasukabe City.

The art museum was quiet in the early morning, and the sunlight shone on the brightly colored paintings, creating a particularly soothing atmosphere. Nanako Ohara stood in front of a landscape oil painting, gently explaining the techniques of light and shadow in the painting. Lin Yu listened quietly, occasionally asking a question or two. The two would exchange smiles from time to time, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

At noon, Lin Yu took Ohara Nanako to a Japanese restaurant hidden in a small alley.

The shop wasn't large, but it was decorated very elegantly, with green plants placed beside the wooden tables and chairs. The two ordered sashimi, sukiyaki, and hand rolls. Nanako Ohara took a bite of the salmon and her eyes lit up: "The sashimi here is so fresh! How did you find this place?"

"I stumbled upon this place during a casual stroll earlier, and I happened to be a bit hungry, so I went in and had a bite to eat. I didn't expect it to be so delicious." Lin Yu smiled and picked up a piece of beef from the sukiyaki for her. "Eat more, we have activities this afternoon." Lunch ended in a relaxed chat.

The afternoon's itinerary was an amusement park. Lin Yu accompanied Ohara Nanako on the carousel. Seeing her smiling brightly on the carousel, Lin Yu took out his phone and secretly took a picture of the scene.

Afterwards, the two went to play bumper cars. At first, Nanako Ohara was a little reserved, but she gradually opened up and "deliberately" bumped into Lin Yu's car several times, filling the car with cheerful laughter.

As the sun set, the two arrived at the Ferris wheel in the amusement park.

As the Ferris wheel slowly rises, the entire cityscape of Kasukabe unfolds before your eyes, including distant houses, traffic on the streets, and a magnificent sunset on the horizon.

That evening, Lin Yu took Ohara Nanako to a high-end shopping mall without showing favoritism. He took Nanako on a shopping spree, and although Ohara Nanako said she didn't need these expensive things, she was still persuaded by Lin Yu's words, "You are my girlfriend."

The two strolled around for a long time, and finally Lin Yu took Ohara Nanako to a restaurant that looked quite nice for a meal. The waiter placed one dish after another on the table.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Lin Yu thought for a while and decided to talk to Ohara Nanako about it when he took her home.

The two happily ate the food in front of them, exchanging food with each other like Misae and Hiroshi Nohara.

Chapter 248 Shin-chan's Unbelievable Luck

After finishing their meal, Lin Yu dropped Ohara Nanako off at a spot not far from her house. The words he'd been hesitating to say all day finally came out.

"Nanako, actually, Matsuzaka Ume and the others..."

Lin Yu was interrupted by Ohara Nanako before he could finish speaking.

Seeing this, Lin Yu initially thought it was Ohara Nanako who couldn't accept it, but unexpectedly, he heard her say, "Yu, I know what you're going to say. Actually, you're saying that you're also dating Matsuzaka Ume, Tsubaki, and Yamashiro, right?"

Lin Yu was quite surprised to hear these words coming from Nanako Ohara's mouth. But upon closer reflection, it made perfect sense—after all, she was so close to Shinnosuke Nohara's family, and Misae and the others already knew about his relationship with Tsubaki.

Furthermore, Nanako Ohara's profession has led her to read many novels featuring this phenomenon, so it's not impossible for her to guess it based on all these factors.

"Correct."

Lin Yu had thought that Nanako Ohara would be unable to accept this, but Nanako Ohara said without any concern:

"So it's true. I thought I was just overthinking it."

Initially, Nanako Ohara couldn't accept the idea of ​​a harem. However, as she spent more time with Lin Yu and frequently encountered such novel settings at work, she gradually came to accept it.

Moreover, Lin Yu and he were on good terms, and Lin Yu was also very outstanding, so he didn't care at all.

Hearing Nanako Ohara's reply, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The two lingered in the car for a long time until Ohara Shiro called to urge them to part, at which point they reluctantly separated.

Before leaving, Nanako Ohara reminded Lin Yu a few things: "By the way, Yu, don't let my dad find out about your harem, okay? I don't want to lose a boyfriend."

Hearing Nana's words, Lin Yu smiled and nodded, replying, "Okay, Nana, thank you for your concern for your boyfriend."

Actually, Lin Yu knew even without Nanako's reminder. It wasn't that he was afraid of having a three-hundred-round battle with Ohara Shiro, but rather that Ohara Shiro might lock Nanako in the house to prevent her from seeing him.

After all, he really is capable of doing such a thing.

……

Lin Yu paid back one-tenth of the money he owed, but if he wanted to pay off the entire huge sum, he would have to try to start from other aspects, such as the robots that he had Tongchuan and Wanma mainly research in Westworld.

However, achieving this goal will take some time. Returning to his senses, Lin Yu decided he should first finish writing "Akame ga Kill!"

Amidst Lin Yu's daily routine of going to work and writing novels in his spare time, the kindergarten children also welcomed another weekend. However, this weekend, Lin Yu could not continue his novel writing.

He had promised Matsuzaka Ume he would go on a date with her this weekend. So, right after get off work on Friday, the two went to a nice couples' restaurant in Tokyo for dinner, preparing to spend a two-day date with each other.

While taking small bites of the delicate food in front of her, Matsuzaka Ume struck a rather pleasing pose as she spoke to Lin Yu:

"Ayu, it's been a long time since we went on a date."

Matsuzaka Ume is right. Just because Yoshinaga Midori kept seeing her shopping alone at the supermarket after get off work, she's asked her several times if she's been dumped.

Faced with Yoshinaga Midori's mocking gaze, Matsuzaka Ume could only brush it off by saying that the other woman had been busy with work lately. Luckily, Lin Yu was free this weekend; otherwise, if Yoshinaga Midori had seen him alone this week, she really wouldn't know what to say.

Hearing Matsuzaka Ume's words, Lin Yu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "It's okay, we still have two days, we can make proper arrangements."

While Lin Yu and Matsuzaka Ume were on their date, Nohara Shinnosuke was grocery shopping with Misae. This time, however, they would get a chance to win a prize after completing their grocery shopping trip.

"Mommy, Mommy, I want to play with this."

"Okay, okay, let me pay them for the groceries first."

Misae watched Shin-chan spinning the lottery machine, a faint sense of anticipation rising within her.

'What if, what if we actually get picked?'

Misae, who was initially nervous about whether she would win the grand prize, was surprised to learn from the staff that Shin-chan had won the grand prize of a luxurious six-day, five-night trip to the Kingdom of Bribri.

Overjoyed by this unexpected surprise, Misae kept marveling at Shin-chan's incredible luck on the way home.

However, what Misae didn't know was that the lottery machine contained only the grand prizes. After they left, an elderly woman who had just finished grocery shopping also wanted to try her luck at the lottery, but was met with rude remarks from the staff.

Can I participate in the prize draw too?

"Stop nagging me, you old hag, are you itching for a beating?"

Seeing the unfriendly expression on the staff member's face, the old lady's lips twitched, and then she turned around and fled in panic.

Back home, Misae couldn't wait to share this amazing news with Hiroshi, who had just returned home.

"Hiroshi! Shin-chan won a six-day, five-night luxury trip to the Kingdom of Bribri today!"

"Really? That's great!"

Hiroshi was very excited to hear the news. You see, with his salary, taking his whole family on a six-day, five-night trip would be quite difficult, because they still had a mortgage to pay.

After some research, they learned that their destination, the Kingdom of Bribri, was a small, evergreen island located on the equator. The island not only boasted numerous entertainment facilities but also unexplored ruins.

This put their minds at ease, as they were afraid of danger. Hiroshi and Misae even excitedly started dancing on the table.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu, who had spent the whole day with Matsuzaka Ume, learned of this news after dinner.

After a moment of careful thought, Lin Yu immediately thought of the Crayon Shin-chan movie, "The Treasure of the Kingdom of Bribri." Lin Yu quickly reviewed the contents of the movie in his mind.

He remembered that when Shin-chan and Misae went grocery shopping, Shin-chan won a six-day, five-night luxury trip from the lottery machine. But it was all just a conspiracy, because the box was full of grand prizes…

Lin Yu thought of the treasure's location—a place with an entire building made of gold, and on that gold platform, there was a vase where one could make a wish, and inside the vase was a "pig god" that could grant any wish. What's more, there were two such vases!

Now that the theatrical version has begun, Lin Yu's target is the entire golden building and the two vases where wishes can be made.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu prepared to tell Hiroshi and the others. However, he couldn't get through to Nohara Shinnosuke and his family by phone. He was initially puzzled, but after seeing the time, he immediately realized—it was indeed getting late. So Lin Yu decided to take the exhausted Matsuzaka Ume back to Kasukabe the next morning, and then sneak onto a plane to the Kingdom of Bribri.

The next morning, after explaining to Matsuzaka Mei that he had an urgent matter and couldn't continue their date, Lin Yu and she drove back to Kasukabe in the Batmobile. Before leaving, Matsuzaka Mei kissed Lin Yu for a long time, reluctant to part.

"Then you go ahead and get busy, but next time you should definitely go on a proper date with her."

Lin Yu watched Matsuzaka Mei's departing figure. The item on her wrist, reflected in the sunlight, was the luxury brand watch that Lin Yu had drawn from the treasure chest earlier.

After dropping Matsuzaka Ume off at home, Lin Yu drove the Batmobile at breakneck speed, finally catching up with the plane carrying Nohara Shinnosuke and his family. The tail of that plane bore the familiar white snake design.

In order not to alert the enemy, Lin Yu used unconventional means to sneak onto the smaller-than-usual plane.
