Chapter 213 - CHAPTER–214 — The Great Naming War

Living Room — Late Afternoon

Laddu cleared his throat loudly.

Too loudly.

Attention was demanded. 📢😤

"I have names," he announced proudly.

"Updated list."

Very official. 📜✨

Mother took the paper.

Her eyes already suspicious.

Danger sensed. 👀⚠️

"First name," she read slowly,

"Modi-ji."

The room froze solid. 🧊😶

Father reacted instantly.

"No."

Full stop. ❌

Maya waved both hands.

"No politics in diapers."

Hard boundary. 🚫👶

The cousin adjusted her glasses.

"Extremely high debate risk."

Data confirmed. 📊🤓

Candy whispered dramatically,

"Too serious."

Traumatized already. 😰

Denied.

Rejected.

Buried forever. ⚰️

Mother moved on quickly.

No discussion allowed.

Next victim. ➡️

"Second name," she read,

"Dexter."

Pause. 🤔

Maya tilted her head.

"…Lab genius vibes."

Low-key impressed. 🧪🧠

Father considered seriously.

"At least intelligent."

Respectable. ✔️

The cousin nodded.

"High competence, low chaos."

Approved by science. 📈

Candy frowned.

"Is he scary?"

Concerned. 😟

Mochi smiled softly.

"…Maybe a little."

Honest. 🙂

Undecided.

Filed for later.

Suspense. ⏳

Mother continued reading.

"Next names," she said,

"Shinchan, Oggy, Johnny Bravo." 💥😳

The house exploded.

Noise everywhere.

Chaos unlocked. 🔓🔥

"SHINCHAN!" Candy screamed.

"FUN!"

Pure joy. 🎉🤣

Maya laughed loudly.

"JOHNNY BRAVO IS PURE CONFIDENCE."

Iconic energy. 💪😎

Father rubbed his forehead.

"That child will say 'hey mama' in school."

Immediate headache. 🤦‍♂️

The cousin spoke calmly.

"Shinchan equals chaos."

"Johnny Bravo equals lawsuits." ⚖️💣

Mochi covered her mouth, smiling.

"Oggy is still… gentle."

Soft vote. 🐱💙

Laddu leaned back on the sofa.

Enjoying the noise.

Power trip. 😌

"See?" he said proudly.

"This is why naming takes science."

Obviously. 🧠🔬

Mother folded the paper once.

Very slowly.

Authority rising. 👑

"Final vote later," she declared.

"But Johnny Bravo is on probation."

Warning issued. ⚠️

Laddu sighed dramatically.

"…He deserved better."

Tragic hero. 🎭

The Pitch Meeting 🎤

Laddu stood up like a boardroom presenter.

Straight posture.

Serious face. 📊😐

"Okay," he said calmly.

"Let me explain."

Brace yourselves. 🛑

He raised one finger.

"Oggy," he said,

"is a blue cat with a good heart." 🐱💙

"Kind.

Simple.

Gets hurt, but never becomes bad." 🌱

Candy nodded seriously.

"He's sweet."

Facts. ✔️

Laddu raised a second finger.

"Shinchan," he continued,

"is a naughty kid." 😈

"Pure comedy.

Trouble follows him.

But he makes everyone laugh." 😂

Maya smiled knowingly.

"That's dangerous fun."

Absolutely. 😏

Laddu raised a third finger.

"Dexter," he said,

"is a science genius." 🧪

He paused deliberately.

"But dangerous."

Red flag. 🚨

Father nodded instantly.

"Yes. Very dangerous."

Trauma remembered. 💥

The cousin added,

"High explosion probability."

Statistical certainty. 📉

Laddu lowered his hand.

Looked around the room.

Presentation finished. 🎤

"I've explained," he said.

"The choice is yours."

Democracy time. 🗳️

Silence followed.

Not awkward.

Thoughtful. 🤍

Mother spoke first.

"Oggy."

Firm. 🐱

Father nodded.

"Oggy."

United front. 🤝

Mochi raised her hand.

"Dexter."

Calculated. 🧠

Maya followed.

"Dexter."

Strategic alliance. 🔗

Candy jumped up.

"Shinchan!"

Chaos vote. 🎉

The cousin added calmly.

"Shinchan."

Balanced chaos. ⚖️

All eyes turned to Laddu.

The decider.

Drama builds. 🎬

He smiled at the divided room.

"…Okay."

Plot twist loading. 🔄

"How about a game between teams?"

he suggested casually.

Instant suspicion. 😑

"The winner's name will be chosen,"

Laddu continued.

"Fair and final." 🏁

Mother crossed her arms.

"What game?"

Danger sensed. ⚠️

Laddu raised one finger again.

"Simple," he said.

"No tricks." 😇

Then paused.

Smiled slightly.

Menace detected. 😈

"The one who moves will be out."

Silence dropped.

Doom. 🗿

"…Statue," Maya muttered.

She already knew.

Too late. 🧍‍♀️

Living Room — Statue Game: Dirty Edition 🗿🔥

Teams formed naturally.

No discussion.

War instincts. ⚔️

• Team Oggy: Mother, Father

• Team Dexter: Mochi, Maya

• Team Shinchan: Candy, Cousin 🎭

Everyone took position.

Statues activated.

No blinking. 👁️

Laddu stepped back.

Suddenly very serious.

Villain arc. 😈

"Ready," he said.

The room froze.

Fear unlocked. 🧊

"Game start."

Absolute silence.

Not even breathing. 🤐

Laddu quietly walked away.

"…Where are you going?" Maya whispered.

Ignored. 👀

Thirty seconds later,

Laddu returned from Candy's room.

Holding all her chocolates. 🍫😳

Opened.

Unwrapped.

Evil. 😈

He sat in front of Candy.

Took a bite.

Crunch. 😱

Another bite.

Slow.

Cruel. 🐍

Candy's eye twitched.

"…That's my—"

Temptation rising. 😬

She lunged forward.

"HEY—"

Fatal mistake. ❌

Laddu raised a finger instantly.

"Moved."

Execution complete. ☠️

Candy froze.

"…No."

Denial phase. 😭

"You moved," Laddu said gently.

"You're out."

Merciless. 🧊

Candy collapsed on the sofa.

"This game is evil."

Defeated. 🛋️

Next target.

The cousin.

Silently doomed. 😶

Laddu leaned close.

Blew cold air into her ear.

Psychological attack. ❄️

She shivered.

Just a little.

Enough. 😖

"Out," Laddu snapped.

The cousin sighed.

"Impressive warfare." 🎯

Remaining players:

Mother.

Father.

Mochi.

Maya. 🗿

Laddu stopped behind Father.

Voice low.

Dangerous. 🐍

"I found your old love letter."

Instant reaction.

Fatal error. 💌

"I HAVE NO LOVE LETTER."

Movement confirmed.

Out. 🚫

Father stared at Mother.

"…You told him?"

Betrayed. 😨

Mother didn't blink.

"You moved."

Cold victory. ❄️

Now only three remained.

Mother.

Mochi.

Maya. ⚖️

Laddu circled them slowly.

Predator energy.

Final stage. 🐺

He leaned toward Maya.

"Maya," he said calmly.

Trap set. 🕳️

"You're like a pig in mud."

Gasps everywhere.

Shock. 😱

"But your heart is… fat."

"That's your beauty."

Confusion unlocked. 🤯

One second.

Two seconds.

Then Maya laughed uncontrollably. 😂

"WHAT IS THAT COMPLIMENT?!"

She bent forward.

Game over. ❌

"Out," Laddu declared.

Maya wiped tears.

"Worth it." 🤣

Final round.

Mother vs Mochi.

Silence reigns. 🧘‍♀️

Laddu went upstairs.

Returned with Mochi's lipstick.

Evil genius. 💄😈

He drew on Mochi's face.

Cartoon smile.

No reaction. 😐

Candy gasped.

"She's scary."

True. 😳

Lipstick kisses followed.

Left cheek.

Right cheek. 💋

Mochi didn't move.

Unbreakable.

Final boss energy. 👑

Last weapon.

Laddu leaned close.

Whispered. 🐍

"…Your mouth stinks."

Mochi reacted instantly.

"My mouth does NOT stink." 😤

Movement.

Sound.

Life. ❌

"FAILED," Laddu shouted.

Mother relaxed.

Victory claimed. 🏆

"I win," Mother said calmly.

The house erupted.

Applause. 🎉

"Oggy stays," Laddu bowed.

Mother smiled.

As expected. 🐱💙

Chaos restored.

Lipstick everywhere.

Peace achieved. 🏠

And once again,

the house proved one thing:

Never challenge Mother. 👑
