Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 263

They probably came because they saw the weather forecast and knew it would rain, and they were worried they hadn't brought an umbrella.

She's such a silly girl...

They didn't even know to ask on e first.

When Mahiru saw Su Qing looking over and noticing the black umbrella in his hand, the worry in her eyes vanished instantly, and she waved to Su Qing with a smile.

It roughly means "I'm here."

Strangely, after greeting Su Qing, she waved a second time.

Compared to the first time, she was quite reserved, but compared to the polite greetings from others, it was already quite unexpected for the girl.

Su Qing's gaze followed Mahiru's line of sight and finally settled on Yui's hand.

The two of them...

So you knew each other before?

At this moment, Yukino bit her lower lip lightly, her brows furrowed with confusion.

It seemed that she was the only one among them who didn't know what had happened.

Even if I memorized the entire grade's student roster, I would recognize the person as Shiina Mahiru, who was quite famous in the grade.

But other than that, she knew nothing.

"You should know her, right? Shiina Mahiru. I started dating her a few days ago."

But I haven't found a suitable opportunity to tell you yet.

Noticing Yukino's confused look, Su Qing first made a few gestures towards Mahiru.

The gist of it was that he wanted to wait a little longer before explaining.

He's not the type to ask, "How did you know I have a boyfriend?" Plus, he'd only been with Mahiru for less than a week, so it wasn't like he was deliberately hiding anything.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so straightforward with Hachiman on the first day.

but.....

Actually, it was only Yukino who didn't have a chance to say it; Yui had every opportunity.

Su Qing could understand her feelings, but she couldn't respond.

So I wanted to be honest with him during the trip, but that gentle girl had already told him through her actions and words.

"I already know."

Otherwise, why would the other person deliberately say "we want to be best friends for life"?

Even the best of friends... they're still just friends.

Besides, Su Qing is so smart, the girl naturally has reason to believe that he already knows she knows.

After noticing his gaze, Yui smiled and said:

"How about that? I'm amazing, aren't I? I knew you were with her even though you didn't tell me."

So never underestimate a girl's intuition!

Su Qing had heard this sentence before.

I heard it at the entrance of Kiyomizu-dera Temple on the very first day of my trip.

But that's not what was said originally.

The original quote should also include the phrase "[girls who are in the throes of a romantic relationship]"...

"I actually checked out the umbrellas sold at the convenience store downstairs, and they're quite expensive. So you can keep the umbrellas for yourselves."

Su Qing handed the umbrella to Yukino, but Yukino refused to accept it, so he had to give it to Yui instead.

The girl immediately accepted it with an air of having gotten a great deal.

Su Qing thought for a moment, originally wanting to ask Yui and Mahiru how they suddenly met.

But he should have left more decisively this time.

After all, you could just ask Mahiru and she'd know the answer to that.

The girl wouldn't hide it from him.

But Su Qing didn't know when it started to regret asking Yui and Mahiru to be friends that day.

Did she really do that?

Because the other girl never rejects him either.

And just like tonight, when he included so many people in his calculations, wasn't he also intentionally or unintentionally taking advantage of the cherry blossom girl's gentleness?

That's really pretty bad...

"I'm leaving. Be careful on your way back."

Su Qing didn't want to keep Zhen Zhou waiting too long, even though only a dozen seconds had passed.

"Hey, Xiaoqing, speaking of which, the weather has been so cold lately, and it's going to get even colder in winter, right?"

What I mean is that getting up early is so difficult; I feel like I'm sealed in my bed every morning!

So... I won't be able to go to school with you guys.

As Su Qing was about to leave, Yui seemed to remember something and suddenly called out to him.

"It's alright, I've long forgotten about that. Besides... if winter is coming, it means spring is just around the corner."

Su Qing stopped and turned around to see a pair of gleaming rubies.

Not knowing what to say, he could only offer this joking consolation.

"Huh...? That makes a lot of sense."

Yui smiled happily, seemingly pleased with the answer, and continued...

"Oh, and there's more."

Although I wanted to learn more about Shiina after listening to you, I became friends with her willingly.

Because I think she looks a lot like Xiaoxue...

She's excellent in every way, but she has no friends...

Haha~ But am I being a bit too nosy?

Anyway, I'm saying all this so you won't overthink it.

So, guys in relationships are definitely more prone to being sentimental, right?

Yui put her hands behind her back and teased him in a friendly, playful tone.

"Who would be so stupid as to think that much?"

Su Qing chuckled softly, seemingly thinking that the girl in front of her was simply overthinking things.

at that time.

The rain was very light, only a few drops.

The girl's ambiguous words were all the more clear.

Hey~ do you remember when we said we'd be best friends for life?

Su Qing didn't say anything, she just nodded.

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately burst into laughter.

It's bright tonight.

And so, under the moonlight, the last cherry blossom of late autumn bloomed.

It's so beautiful.

"My memory isn't as good as yours. Even if I forget, you can't forget. You have to remember it for me!"

"...This is too willful."

Su Qing casually remarked, then waved her hand, turned around, and continued speaking.

"But I haven't forgotten anything."

"Really? That's good..."

Behind her, Yui's voice, full of relief, suddenly rang out.

That's...good...

Before parting, I wonder if Yukino was mistaken.

Su Qing glanced at her suddenly before leaving.

She thought she should understand.

Does it mean you hope she approves of Yui?

The drizzle suddenly intensified, becoming a light, persistent rain.

Seeing this, Mahiru quickly walked over, holding up her dark green umbrella.

Su Qing was also walking towards her.

The two then met soon after.

"The weather forecast said it would rain... I thought you didn't bring an umbrella, so I came to find you."

Mahiru was the first to explain.

Why didn't you call and ask first?

"Forgot, forgot..."

Mahiru answered somewhat awkwardly.

She was so worried about whether Su Qing would get wet in the rain that her IQ dropped to zero.

Su Qing smiled but didn't say anything. She naturally took the umbrella from the other person and then put her arm around her shoulder.

He also didn't want to get caught in the rain during the day.

Mahiru's body stiffened for a moment due to shyness, but quickly relaxed.

She blinked, as if she was thinking.

Then he said slowly:

"Maybe... it's because I miss you too much?"

Su Qing was taken aback by what she heard, then chuckled and hugged Mahiru even tighter.

"I miss you too, but I still hope you can tell me in advance next time. I'm afraid you might get lost or something, so I don't worry too much, okay, Zhoubao?"

"Yes, yes, that's fine!"

Mahiru's eyes widened slightly, then she lowered her head, her face flushed as if she were drunk.

It is breathtakingly beautiful.

She didn't want to be so shy, but Su Qing called her "Zhou Bao"!

ask:

What should I do if I want to hear Su Qing call me "Mahiru" but also want to hear Su Qing call me "Baby"?

There's only one answer—that's [Zhou Bao]!

"You're so smart!"

Mahiru said, bewildered.

Did you even listen to what I said?

Seeing the girl like this, Su Qing couldn't help but sigh.

However, the corners of her mouth quickly turned up.

Zhoubao, so cute!
