In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1479 Mengya Wants to Hold a Photo Exhibition (Part 2)

"That's it, and then lots of people will come to see it!" Mengya started daydreaming: "Then I'll ask my older sister to work here as a counter staff member!"

"Please, don't joke around! You're going to bring all that junk to my house just for this?!" Misae waved her hand, shattering Yumiya's fantasy, and looked at her speechlessly, complaining.

"Besides, Mengya, your last photography exhibition wasn't very good either," Mingxu said, spreading his hands with a hint of helplessness.

"What?! And those aren't just scrap metal! They're all my property!" Mengya protested.

Misae raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Oh~ So when are you going to come and reclaim your very important possessions?"

"Um, I'll pick it up after the photography exhibition ends!" Mengya hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Oh, when was that?" Misae continued to ask.

Just as Mengya was about to continue making excuses, she suddenly turned her head and saw Xiaoxin eating a bag of snacks at some point.

"Ah! Wait a minute, eating and drinking are prohibited in this room!" Seeing Xiaoxin's expression, Mengya shouted decisively. After speaking, she picked up a broom and dustpan and swept up the fallen cookie crumbs.

"Seriously, it's fallen everywhere."

"Seriously, this isn't like the usual Mengya." Looking at Mengya, Xiaoxin couldn't help but say, and the others beside him nodded subconsciously. It was really hard to believe that Mengya was like this.

However, seeing Mengya's insistence, Meiya softened and agreed to let Mengya have a few more days.

Time passed, and a few more days went by. Meiya noticed that Mengya hadn't made a move, so she arranged for Mingxu and Xiaoxin to come and check on her.

"Good afternoon~"

"Oh, it's you two." Mengya looked at the two little ones and said with a smile.

"Hmm, Mengya, are you drawing?" Mingxu looked around, somewhat puzzled. "Aren't you going to get it out here?"

"Ugh, I still have to make flyers first." Mengya was a bit overwhelmed. "Last time I hired someone to do it, but it didn't turn out very well. This time, I thought I'd try making them myself."

"Huh? You're doing it yourself?" Mingxu looked at Mengya with some doubt: "Are you sure you can do it?"

"Why not!" Mengya immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hey~ Mengya, can you draw for me?" Xiaoxin leaned over and reached for the paintbrush.

"No way! This is for a photography exhibition flyer, so you can't draw on it!" Mengya decisively refused Xiaoxin, then looked at the blank paper in front of her: "Ugh, I can't think of any good ideas..." As she spoke, Mengya looked at the mess of scribbles she had made on the paper and shook her head.

Seeing this, Shin-chan asked again, "Can I use it to draw?"

“Sure, draw whatever you want,” Mengya said casually this time without refusing.

Shin-chan excitedly picked up the paintbrushes, looking at them with some surprise: "These are all colored pencils with lead; the only thing that's top-notch is the tools!"

"Only two words are superfluous," Mengya said irritably.

“Xiao Xu doesn’t use this kind, so Mengya, there’s no need to omit it,” Xiao Xin said, shrugging.

"Uh." After Xiaoxin said that, Mengya was speechless for a moment.

Mingxu patted Xiaoxin on the shoulder: "Alright, stop talking."

"Hehe~" Shin-chan tilted his head and laughed.

Mingxu looked around and suddenly noticed the trash and biscuits on the ground. He looked at Mengya with some confusion and asked, "Mengya, didn't you say that eating and drinking are prohibited here?"

"It's okay for me, because no matter what, I'm the one living in this room!" Mengya said proudly, raising her head. "If the person living inside doesn't eat in their room, where are they supposed to eat?" As she spoke, Mengya picked up some snacks and started eating them heartily.

However, the cookie almost fell out, but Mingxu caught it and threw it back: "You're really not quick."

Mengya pouted and continued stuffing snacks into her mouth, saying indistinctly, "Tch, I just wasn't paying attention for a moment."

Xiao Xin was drawing enthusiastically when he suddenly stopped, looked at Meng Ya with bright eyes, and said, "Meng Ya, you said my drawing is so beautiful, could you put it in your photography exhibition too?"

Mengya almost choked on the snacks in her mouth. After coughing a few times, she said, "Yours is painting, mine is a photography exhibition. How can they be the same?"

Shin-chan pouted, unconvinced: "How are they different? They're all art."

Mengya shook her head helplessly: "Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later."

Mingxu watched them from the side, smiled helplessly, and then began to look around the room again. Although Mengya had kept the room very clean before, it had become somewhat messy again over time.

Mingxu pointed to some miscellaneous items piled up in the corner and asked, "Mengya, what are you going to do with all this?" Mengya glanced at them and said indifferently, "We'll deal with those later. Getting the flyers ready is the most important thing." As she spoke, she buried herself in thinking about ideas for the flyers.

Xiao Xin drew for a while, then got bored and put down his paintbrush, starting to wander around the room. He touched this and that, making Meng Ya very irritable. "Xiao Xin, stop messing around!" Meng Ya shouted irritably.

Xiao Xin chuckled and said, "I'm helping you find inspiration." Meng Ya rolled her eyes and continued staring blankly at the blank paper.

After a while, Mengya suddenly slapped her forehead and exclaimed excitedly, "I've got it!" Xiaoxin and Mingxu were drawn over by her shout and looked at her expectantly. Mengya said proudly, "I can combine the photos with some of my artistic ideas to make a unique flyer." As she spoke, she picked up a pen and began to draw quickly on the paper. Xiaoxin watched with wide eyes, praising her repeatedly, "Wow, Mengya, you're so amazing!" Hearing this, Mengya became even more proud and drew with even more enthusiasm.

Seeing Mengya's actions, the two brothers exchanged glances, but did not disturb her any further, and got up and left.

Inside the Nohara residence, Misae was looking at a magazine when she suddenly saw an advertisement: "Container rental? Oh, it's a place to store odds and ends, right? What! 8000 yen a month!"

Thinking of this, Misae suddenly remembered something, looked towards the Chicken and Dog Chaos Village, and smiled.

After tidying up the house, I set off for Mengya's house.

When Mengya saw her older sister, she was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled. But after learning Meiya's purpose, her eyes widened immediately: "Ah! You still want money? That's too much!"

"I'm not giving you the money, I'm just telling you that you're spending so much money by leaving your things somewhere else!" Misae rolled her eyes at Mengya. Was she really that materialistic? Then she rubbed her shoulders: "Ouch, my shoulders are so sore~"

"...I understand..." Mengya rolled her eyes and started massaging Meiya.

"Mmm~ Oh, this feels so good, so good~" Misae nodded in satisfaction.

While giving her a massage, Mengya said with a hint of helplessness, "You came all the way here specifically to have me give you a massage, didn't you?"

Misae didn't refute, but Yumeya muttered under her breath, "Devil."

Misae looked around, somewhat puzzled: "Is this room starting to get messy?"

Mengya quickly retorted, "How could that be? I was just about to start tidying up!" With that, she immediately got up, finished Meiya's massage, and began to tidy up.

After finishing, he looked at Misae triumphantly: "See!"

Upon seeing this, Miya immediately praised, "Wow, our Mengya is like a completely different person."

"Oh dear~ I'm not that good~" Mengya also tilted her head and laughed.

It seems the kids all have that same habit, it's a family tradition.

Misae coughed twice and said, "I feel a little thirsty. I really hope I can have a cup of tea." She then looked at Yumiya.

"Um, if you want to make tea, you need to boil water first." Mengya scratched her head.

"It's okay, I think I can drink the oolong tea in the fridge too." Misae raised an eyebrow and looked towards the fridge.

"Ah! How did you know..." Mengya was somewhat helpless; how could her older sister be so amazing?

Meiya glanced at Mengya smugly, thinking, "Little brat, you're still too green to compete with your older sister."

After Misae felt comfortable with the massage, she left satisfied. Yumeya, on the other hand, sulked to herself.

A few days later, Misae once again led the little ones home from school and headed towards Yumiya's direction.

"How's Mengya's photography exhibition going?" Mingxu asked Meiya with some curiosity. They hadn't visited Mengya these past few days.

Misae shook her head: "Speaking of which, she didn't tell me anything. She clearly said I was to work as a counter staff member." Misae complained as she brought the three little ones to Mengya's house. She was somewhat surprised by the mess inside.

"Mengya, are you here?"

"Oh dear, no, it seems the limit is one week..." Mengya said somewhat embarrassedly, it looked like the exhibition had been canceled again.

"What? What are we going to do with the things you left in our house?" Misae exclaimed in dissatisfaction.

Mengya smiled but didn't answer.

Shin-chan shook his head: "She's back to being the usual Yumiya."

"Oh well, anyway, we should at least clean up. Where are the cleaning supplies?" Misae said, opening the closet and a whole bunch of things fell out.

Seeing the familiar scene, Mingxu couldn't help but exclaim, "They really are sisters!"

“Exactly.” Shin-chan nodded in agreement.

"Eeya," Xiao Kui nodded in agreement.
