Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 36

Ah, maybe this is what youth is all about.

Seeing that Hachiman didn't resist and seemed to think he could kill or torture him as he pleased, Su Qing immediately relaxed his guard. Then, Hachiman's dead fish eyes suddenly sharpened. A good opportunity! He then reached out!

Then it becomes so fresh and juicy~

I missed it...

This is an agility of 8 points, while the normal people are basically around 4-5. Even if the increase is slow, it is only 0.1 or 0.01. Su Qing's three-dimensional attributes are simply supermodel-like compared to Hachiman, who is a perpetual homebody.

As for why Su Qing knew this, it was information that Su Qing vaguely obtained from the system's automatic point allocation when Yui fell down last time.

Enough! Let it all end. I knew joining a club with Su Qing would lead to nothing but trouble. Now he's got his eye on me completely. I told him last time I wanted to stay away from transfer students. Damn it, even though it seems like the transfer student was the one who came to chat with me.

In any case, his path to becoming a solitary and powerful bear has probably already ended prematurely.

Subsequently, Hachiman completely gave up.

Seeing this, Su Qing returned the homework to him and explained with a smile.

"Sorry, don't be angry. Actually, close friends on the mainland often read each other's embarrassing essays. They often 'exchange' their essays after Chinese exams."

"Ah... I'm not angry. By the way, are we already good friends?" Hachiman was also in a daze when he heard Su Qing apologize. When was the last time someone apologized to him?

Wait, has anyone apologized to me? Yes... I think there probably has been.

perhaps.

Su Qing looked shocked.

"We wouldn't call ourselves close, but I thought we were already friends. Are friendships really that strict in Japan? Do I have to beg, 'Please, let's be friends!'"

"What kind of weird books have you been reading..." Hachiman complained first, then hesitated before speaking.

"Well, if we're friends, of course..."

Then, as if he had just thought of something, Hachiman said excitedly.

"Since we're friends, shouldn't I be able to look at your biology homework? That should be perfectly normal, right?"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get to know Su Qing. Just as Su Qing is very interested in Hikigaya's twisted personality, Hikigaya also feels that Su Qing and he seem to get along very well.

Then, Hachiman saw Su Qing smile, neither refusing nor agreeing, but instead uttering a universal formula.

"Definitely next time."

Yes, this is the right way for mainland Chinese to treat their friends!

"Yosh, I'm fired up! I've decided to work hard for half a month and then make a name for myself!"

The voices were loud, and although the classroom was filled with various noises, the regular group of people in the classroom still attracted attention. Su Qing glanced over and noticed that Yui seemed to be in that group as well, so he paid a little attention to her.

The speaker was a boy with blond hair and wearing a headband.

"Ministry of Revenue, it definitely won't work if it's you," someone said with a laugh.

"Sigh, when everyone else looks down on you, you just can't live up to their expectations." A few fickle people whose names didn't need to be remembered chimed in, which made Miura Yumiko and the others burst into laughter.

"How can this be? Fortune changes every three years, so don't underestimate the Ministry of Revenue's poverty!" The Ministry of Revenue didn't take it seriously; it was a common way they joked around, and they weren't serious anyway.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, thinking that the Ministry of Revenue hadn't been jilted either.

"Hey, what's this? It's amazing! Can I borrow it for a bit?" Out of the corner of her eye, Hobe seemed to have spotted something funny. She excitedly walked over and put her arm around the shoulder of a thin boy. The boy looked reluctant and wanted to refuse, but several popular guys nearby, including Miura, were watching him. Unable to withstand the pressure, he weakly handed over his Switch to Hobe.

"Thank you." After receiving the game console, Hobe took a few steps back to Yumiko and the others, looked it over, and handed it to Miura with a grin.

"Miura, look, isn't this Pokémon? It really brings back memories. I used to love this when I was in elementary school, but I'm past that age now."

The Ministry of Revenue sighed, as if lamenting the troubles of growing up.

"I'm laughing. The Ministry of Revenue is joking again. I just saw you and a few other people going to a Pokémon-themed cafe last time."

"? When did you start following me? Oh, actually, it was my friends who insisted on dragging me along."

The crowd then erupted in another burst of cheerful laughter.

That's how it is; the group is utterly useless to the individual. I guess I should stick to the bear's path after all. Hachiman watched silently from the side, remarking that the group is indeed toxic.

He was just about to turn around and tell his new friend Su Qing how wonderful bears are, and then take the opportunity to trick Su Qing into looking at his biology homework, when he realized that Su Qing had disappeared at some point.

Where is Su Qing? Where is my Su Qing, who is so big?

Have the friends I just made just vanished like that? Or is all of this just my imagination because I've been lonely for so long?

"Huh? Pokémon? A lot of people in mainland China love it too. I'd like to borrow it and play with it."

Unbeknownst to her, Su Qing walked up to Miura and "took" the game console away, ignoring Miura's trembling face.

Upon seeing this, the Ministry of Revenue shouted loudly.

"Hey transfer student, this game console is ours. Isn't it going too far to take it without permission?"

"Yours? That's strange. I clearly saw you take it from the classmate next to you."

Su Qing rubbed her eyes and smiled.

"So what? I got Oishi's permission!"

"Oh, I see. I misunderstood you. I thought you were forcing him."

After Su Qing finished speaking, she returned the game console to the Ministry of Revenue. However, when the Ministry of Revenue extended one hand, Su Qing immediately withdrew the hand holding the game console and gave him a firm and friendly handshake with her other hand.

"Then, Mr. Hubu, could you lend me this?"

Su Qing revealed a kind smile and a set of bright white teeth, which made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

As Su Qing increased his strength, the Ministry of Revenue's expression gradually turned ugly, and his entire body began to twist forward.

"Of course... of course you can." The Ministry of Revenue forced a smile and agreed.

"Ah, thank you so much, Mr. Hubu."

Su Qing, being very polite, went through the entire process with utmost courtesy. Hmm, she's truly a good person.

"Here you go." Su Qing returned the game console to the skinny boy.

"Thank you." The boy was surprised that Su Qing would help him and thanked her.

"Yes, I like Pokémon too. Can I see what Pokémon you have in your team?" Su Qing asked sincerely, a rare occurrence for her.

"Oh, look."

"Hmm... Shiny Strength? That's pretty rare, and it's even a female with a 1/4 chance of appearing. Pretty lucky! Let me see what its stats are. Its personality is 'Afraid of Loneliness,' and its holding item is 'Big Root'?"

The recommended strategy is to try again, hold on, endure, and tough it out...

Hmm, so they're raising Machamp like a Gardevoir, right? That's great, that's great, hehe...

Su Qing glanced at it a few times, casually replied with a few perfunctory words like "You're so worthy of being recruited, you'll be the next Pokémon Master of Pallet Town," and then returned to Hachiman Valley.

When Hachiman saw Su Qing return, he hesitated as if he wanted to say something, but finally spoke.

"Um, won't you be ostracized for doing this?"

"why?"

"Because that's how our special administrative region is..."

"Then look at how the people around me see me," Su Qing said with a smile.

Hikigaya glanced around and noticed that while the few people who were on good terms with the Ministry of Revenue looked at Su Qing with a strange gaze, many others looked at him with a hint of respect and gratitude.

Even some of the girls looked at Su Qing with increasingly fervent eyes, as if they were watching a hero in a fairy tale fighting against a demon king for a princess, even though no one here was a princess, a demon king, or a hero.

Hikigaya was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

"Miura, as the eldest sister, cares about what others think of him. In order to maintain his image, he will not suffer any hardship when the Ministry of Revenue is in the wrong and he has not suffered any loss."

The remaining few dependent parasites, without Miura's stance, naturally wouldn't speak up for the Ministry of Revenue.

As for the Minister of Revenue, his boisterous and outgoing personality caused him no shortage of trouble. Others, out of respect for Miura and his group, didn't dare to rebel, since he hadn't done anything too outrageous. However, these small troubles accumulated over time, naturally damaging everyone's impression of him. What I did was to vent their anger. How could I possibly be ostracized?

"What about Hayama?" While marveling at Su Qing's analysis of the popular group, Hikigaya was also curious about Su Qing's evaluation of Hayama.

"Ye Shan? Hehe." Su Qing chuckled a few times before speaking.

"He's just a hypocrite who maintains the balance; he's not a good person at all."

And also, even though you admire the path of bears, aren't you afraid of being ostracized? Hachiman Kuma-kun.

Su Qing then posed the question to Hikigaya.

"Please, don't call me that shameful name... It's not that I'm afraid of it, but you said it yourself, it's just a minor inconvenience, and you don't even know that person, right? Why did you go to such lengths?"

"Why? Of course, it's because it's fun! Student life is so boring, how can we not have some fun? Besides, I once dreamed of becoming a Pokémon Master. Their way of stealing the Switch is just like Team Rocket, I can't tolerate it."

Seeing that Su Qing's topic was getting more and more off-topic, talking about things like Pallet Town, original intentions, and passions, Hachiman quietly turned his head away and stared at his biology homework, lost in thought.

Damn it, what about my previous self-destruction?!

Meanwhile, next to Su Qing's seat, the dazed-looking Yui was being severely reprimanded by Su Qing after calculating the old lady's speed to be as high as 460 km/h in her morning homework. She was also required to finish the new problems he assigned after class, which would be checked later. As a result, she couldn't even talk to Su Qing after class and could only watch helplessly as he went to find Hachiman.

But it's really too difficult. How come I can't factorize this?

Why is this formula used here?

Ugh, I don't understand!

And so, without anyone to guide her, Yui got angry at the math problem and started daydreaming, occasionally glancing at Su Qing.

Naturally, although she couldn't hear what Su Qing and Hikigaya were talking about, she saw Su Qing suddenly walk towards the Ministry of Revenue and witnessed the whole thing. Yui, whose IQ was originally only 2.5, now activated her CPU overclocking mode and roughly figured out the reason for the matter.

Xiao Qing... is so handsome!

I always felt that Xiaoqing had always been like this, always saying what she meant and never trying to please anyone.

Thinking of what Su Qing had said that day, telling her to just say she didn't want to go, or at least make up a plausible reason, Yui realized that Su Qing's handsome image had completely clouded her judgment of his words.

Now...

Shouldn't we try to please others?

Can you do it yourself?

Give it a try, I can do it!

On Su Qing's desk, a breeze blew, and a piece of paper with something written on it was slightly lifted, but because it was cushioned by the pencil case, it quickly returned to its original position.

It was Su Qing's biological research assignment.

"Humans are the organisms that best illustrate the diversity of species."

"The law of the jungle in nature is vividly displayed in human social systems. The strong reach a consensus on interests and form a community of interests, and then exploit the weak."

The weak tend to band together for survival, and when faced with danger, they often choose to abandon other weaker individuals to create a situation that benefits themselves.

Strangely, some strong people protect and help the weak not for personal gain, but for some special reason. And when the weak are in danger, there are times when they do not choose to abandon the weak, but instead choose to sacrifice themselves.

Humans are social animals; being alone leads to loneliness. Interestingly, if someone wants to become a so-called strong person, they must suppress their inner loneliness, get used to solitude, and then enjoy it.

Below are a few lines of smaller text, which are blurry and not clearly visible.

"So being a human is too hard. I'd rather be a panda who just lazes around and waits to die in my next life."

……

(PS: To reiterate, Soubu High School has been changed to a university, but students are still learning basic subjects like mathematics and physics. The protagonist is currently a 20-year-old sophomore, you know what I mean.)

Chapter 49 Collective and Individual (Combined)

Two days later, in the office.

As expected, Hikigaya was called to the office because of the biology assignment, but instead of the biology teacher, he was greeted by Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Hachiman, what strange things have you written this time?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said to Hikigaya with a forced smile.

"It's a pretty standard biological research report, and I think I wrote it quite well..."

"Then tell me why the part about the bear is written so little, and why the group is described as some kind of poison. How much resentment do you have towards the group?"

"...Putting that aside, isn't this a biology assignment?" Hikigaya meant that Hiratsuka had overstepped his authority.

"Don't forget I'm still your life guidance counselor. When the biology teacher saw this assignment, she gave it to me and asked me to have a good talk with you." Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed, and then didn't dwell on it. She knew that the other person's personality needed to be improved slowly, so there was no rush.

"How's the club doing lately?" She looked at both Hachiman and Su Qing beside her.

So you called me over just to ask this? Oh well, watching Hachiman's antics isn't so bad.

"Not bad, it fits my stereotype of the Japanese Literature Club." Su Qing thought for a moment and then answered.
