Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 353

When Mahiru saw this, she laughed along with the other person, and everything seemed to return to the time when Su Qing was still around.

"Then... shall we submit our leave of absence application tomorrow?"

After walking for a while, they were almost at the supermarket when Yui suddenly stopped and asked.

"Yes, but it will take a few more days of procedures. We probably won't be able to officially start until Thursday. Let's buy the plane tickets in advance today."

She turned around halfway through her sentence, her eyes flashing with worry, "About your parents..."

"Ah... Mom doesn't object to me, but Dad hasn't given his mind yet, but he hasn't said no either! I should be able to talk to him a bit more tonight."

Yui looked relaxed, even a little smug, as if she were talking about something very trivial.

"It's best not to push yourself too hard," Mahiru glanced at the other person, paused for a moment, "I mean it."

"I'm serious too."

Yui's reply came almost seamlessly.

"Mahiru, you know that I've always liked Kiyoshi, but I never had the courage to confess first."

"This time he left so suddenly, and we may never see him again in this lifetime."

“I think if I don’t go with you to find him, even if he comes back in the end, I will regret it for a very long time.”

"You must have made that impulsive decision to drop out of school because you didn't want to regret it later, right?"

Yui simply smiled gently, her eyes slightly curved.

"Besides, didn't we already agree on this last night?"

"I understand." Mahiru looked at Yui, remained silent for a long time, and finally slowly exhaled, saying softly, "I'm sorry."

"I won't say those discouraging things to you anymore. In a couple of days, we'll go to the mainland together and have a proper talk with Qingjun."

"Then... bring him back."

The girl's voice was soft, like drifting clouds.

But when she said this, her eyes were so firm and resolute.

This reminds one of Western knights who proclaimed their faith to pledge allegiance to their monarch, a belief that has endured for centuries.

"Hmph, bring him back and lock Xiao Qing in a dark room for a good beating, so he won't leave without saying goodbye, so he won't leave without saying goodbye!"

Yui said it twice through gritted teeth, and even clenched her little fist and symbolically waved it at the air.

After doing all that, she turned to Mahiru and said, "You're not allowed to stop me then. You can't side with that jerk. You have to side with me. That's what makes us good friends!"

Yui's mind is really simple. If it were any other utilitarian girl, Mahiru might even think that they were deliberately trying to get closer to her in order to make her lower her guard.

But the girl in front of me, with her rosy cheeks and a smile as lovely as early cherry blossoms, was completely different...

Mahiru's pupils dilated for a moment.

She's actually been thinking about this for the past few days.

Is it possible for three people to coexist?

"Hey, Yui, what do you say..." Mahiru's hesitant expression seemed extremely awkward to the other person.

Yui was completely stunned.

"Huh? Did I just say something bad?"

"No, I don't mean that." Mahiru waved her hands repeatedly, her little face full of confusion.

She can't help but act like this when she's flustered, nervous, or shy.

In the past, my semi-cohabitation life with Su Qing was basically like this every day.

"So, do you think there's any possibility that the number three could coexist?"

Mahiru pressed her lower lip tightly together, and her eyelashes began to flutter at an extremely fast pace.

"What does this mean...? Why don't I understand?" Yui was practically staring blankly at Mahiru.

What does it mean to say whether the number three has the possibility of coexistence?

The logic of this sentence gives me a wonderful feeling of translating Sakura into English, English into Chinese, Chinese into English, and finally English back into Sakura!

Isn't this something that only senior undergraduates would do to reduce the plagiarism rate of their papers?

No... Mahiru must have had a deeper meaning when she said that.

Let me think about it carefully...

one second.

two seconds.

Three... My attempt to figure it out failed!

"Sorry, Mahiru-chan, I really don't understand your question. It's so strange." Yui habitually stirred the bun on her head.

Is it possible that the dumpling will become smart someday after it blooms?

It's like the grass on the head of the old sheep on the Green Green Grassland.

"But... triangles exist in this world, so it should be possible, right? Hahaha, I'm just kidding..."

Yui playfully stuck out her tongue, then bent down and quickly grabbed Mahiru's small hand, and ran off while the other looked on in confusion.

"It would be better to grab the eggs first!"

"If we don't grab them now, someone else will snatch them all! And we might not be back for several weeks or even longer!"

The girl ran off as nimbly as a rabbit, creating gentle breezes as she ran alongside.

The pleated skirt, positioned at the waistline, rose at just the right angle, making her already long and shapely legs appear even more youthful and beautiful.

"Hey, slow down!" Mahiru called out helplessly from behind.

Honestly, she really had no way to deal with such an enthusiastic girl!

Why did you introduce this idiot to me, Qingjun?!

"So, if you were to be one of the vertices of a triangle... what would your thoughts be?"

Mahiru's voice and her hair roots were disheveled in the wind.

"What? I don't understand!"

Yui threw those words at him without even turning her head.

Subsequently.

It looked like he was thinking, but it also looked like he was smiling.

"Besides, that kind of thing sounds really troublesome, but if you're at the other peak, I'll reluctantly agree."

If you're there, then he's there too, right?

Hearing this answer, Mahiru behind him suddenly smiled.

She thought that Yui must have understood what she was saying.

She thought she knew why she could get along so well with Yui.

Because both of them are very cunning girls.

The road ahead... it seems we've already seen a glimpse of the answer.

Therefore, Qingjun.

This time, I absolutely won't let you escape again.

Chapter 384 Man and Shadow

?

Come back home.

Come back home.

Such a stubborn, even obsessive, idea had taken root deep in Su Qing's heart like a weed, growing relentlessly.

It doesn't matter anymore that I've fallen for them all.

What should I say when we meet? Will Mahiru and the others hate me for what I did before? Will things get better or worse after I come back...?

These worries and concerns are insignificant in the face of life and death.

I really want to see you all. Where are you?

Su Qing glanced at his phone, which only had about fifteen bars of battery left—he hadn't charged it during the days he was in a state of suspended animation, and after Yukino called, he rushed back to Tokyo without stopping.

Is it already 4 PM?

Su Qing's pace slowed slightly; he was losing his sense of time more and more.

By now, Mahiru should have already finished school, right?

"I long to see you, Zhou..."

The boy stopped in his tracks, and for a moment, hot tears welled up in his eyes beneath his messy black hair.

Then, as if he had forced back his tears, he quickened his pace even more than before.

……

"Hehe, how was it? Was it fun stealing eggs?"

The supermarket's automatic revolving door opened with an electronic female voice. Stepping out of the supermarket, Mahiru smiled and asked the somewhat dejected girl beside her.

"This is totally not fun at all! I mean, those middle-aged women are terrifying!"

Yui never dreamed she would see a scene like a massive army in a supermarket.

Is this still a supermarket?

It's practically a battlefield!

"I see," Yui thought, feeling that she had finally understood. Her eyes lit up, and she stared at Mahiru with an expression of admiration.

"Mahiru-chan, grocery shopping is war!"

"Huh?" Mahiru was confused.

"I just think you're a general for being able to snatch eggs from those old ladies!"

Yui looked at herself, her hands empty, then pointed to Mahiru's hands full of spoils and sincerely praised her.

"I'm fine." Mahiru smiled happily, then her eyes dimmed for a moment, but she still maintained her smile.

"Qingjun was really good when he was grabbing eggs; those aunties couldn't compete with him at all."

"Xiao Qing snatched eggs?" Yui asked in surprise and doubt. "The image is a bit disjointed; it doesn't seem like something he would do."

After thinking for a while, she added:

"Even though you're such a lady, I couldn't have imagined it if we weren't familiar with each other."

"Hmm... Qingjun knows all the less-than-ideal aspects of me, yet she's still willing to stay with me through my naivety and 'badness'."

Mahiru slowly turned her gaze to the distance, where the sky was being burned to the color of flames.

The light became increasingly calm and soft, yet at the same time, it became increasingly devoid of warmth.

A gust of wind swept in from the distant north, and the girl's eyes became moist.

Mahiru spoke softly to Yui, and to herself.

tell him:

"I kind of... miss Qingjun."

……

It's Mahiru! And Yui too!

How did they end up here?

Su Qing was originally on her way back to Zhenzhou Apartment. According to the time in her memory, the other party should have arrived home by now.
