Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

It was precisely because Ye Shan understood this point that he conceived the idea that Su Qing was [terrifying].

Calculate constantly, analyze constantly, and always remain rational.

Choose from thousands of options to arrive at the best decision.

Perhaps this is one of the uses of the "clear and still mind"?

Chapter 318 A Light Rain Begins

?

On the bamboo forest path in Arashiyama, Saika and Hikigaya were the first to leave.

Su Qing and the others watched the two figures disappear into the distance, all exchanging knowing smiles.

In reality, even if the two of them didn't leave, they would have left on their own.

After all, we should still give young couples some private space, right?

"Ugh~ It's so strange, today feels so long."

Yui stretched, and even though the late autumn night was cold, it did nothing to obscure the beautiful mountain ridgeline, which was as lovely as early spring.

Yukino's gaze swept over as if it were on auto-scanning, then she sighed softly, "I feel the same way, but actually, I don't think I did anything tonight..."

Is she still the head of the Service Department?

Why do I feel like my power has been usurped?

Thinking of this, she raised her resentful eyes and glanced at Su Qing.

Without a doubt, the culprit is right in front of us, isn't it?

"It's okay, Xiaoxue. It's quite fun to be an audience member once in a while, isn't it? Life needs an audience!"

Yui pressed her face close to Yukino's again, a common way the girl would encourage the latter, and said with emotion.

"I always had a feeling that Xiao Cai was a girl, but I thought I was just being weird. I never expected it to be true!"

"There must be even more surprising things, right? Like, that Hikigaya guy who was put into the club by Hiratsuka-sensei found a girlfriend."

To be honest, when I first saw him, I thought he'd never find a partner in his life.

Yukino stroked her chin, gazing thoughtfully in the direction they had left.

"Xiaoxue, it's not a good thing to talk badly about people behind their backs."

Yui immediately stopped this behavior.

"That makes sense... So, should I say it again in front of him next time?"

Yukino tilted her head and looked at Yui, saying something in a somewhat dazed and cute way.

"Then forget it! I've thought about it, and it's not a bad thing to say... Hmm!"

Okay, let's stop this from failing and make a strategic retreat!

Yui thought to herself that Yuki was such an idiot, and then said righteously.

"So what do we do next? There's still plenty of time before curfew. Shall we take this opportunity to go for a walk together?"

Yukino glanced at Yui, then at Su Qing, and after a moment of contemplation, she offered this suggestion.

"Well, it depends on what Xiaoqing says."

"...What I said might be a bit of a downer, but judging from the weather, it looks like it's going to rain."

Su Qing looked up, her eyes were a deeper black than the night, yet they inexplicably reflected the moon in the sky.

"That's really unfortunate. Neither Yui nor I brought an umbrella. Let's hurry back."

Yukino felt it was a bit of a pity.

Su Qing calmly took an umbrella out of her bag and said, "No problem. Even if it rains, the three of us won't get soaked."

He really is an extremely cautious man when he goes out.

Yukino was a little curious about what was in his black bag.

"No, even in that case, we can't let our guard down. If we catch a cold, that would be super troublesome!"

Yui spoke earnestly, but she didn't give off the impression of a worried mother; she was more like... a silly child who caught a cold from being caught in the rain?

So Su Qing couldn't help but laugh.

Actually, he wasn't in a very good mood right now, but he wasn't in a very bad mood either.

Although the ending of this incident seems positive, what about the process?

The process was that he didn't give Hachiman much time to prepare...

"Have you had this experience before?"

Yukino's faint smile seemed teasing, causing the girl's face to flush. She hurriedly denied it, saying, "I didn't, I didn't, stop slandering me!"

"Good good."

Yukino felt much better; it seemed she had found a powerful way to retaliate against Yui.

"Speaking of which... is something on Xiaoqing's mind? She seems a bit down."

Yui pouted in a huff, then glanced at Su Qing beside her and asked softly.

"Ok?"

Su Qing was clearly distracted, and only after she came to her senses did she look at the girl with a look of surprise.

He suddenly fell silent.

"Just say what's wrong, after all, you've been putting in all this effort by yourself..."

Yukino chimed in.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm wondering if this is a bit too much for him? The time is too rushed..."

Su Qing's tone was not downcast or confused, but rather calm and composed.

It was as calm as a pool of water.

"Do you feel guilty towards Hikigaya?"

After all, he doesn't know much from beginning to end, even if it's not what you want.

Most importantly... he wasn't given time to process or accept it..

Sometimes I really wonder if you're a tapeworm in my stomach.

Su Qing interjected, teasingly.

Yukino paused for a moment and then fell silent, but beneath her calm exterior lay a naive heart.

If I were a tapeworm, you'd be the first one it bites.

There was nothing she could do; the other person had interrupted her.

However, due to her personality, she only thought about it in her heart.

Actually, what Yukino said was pretty much right, and what Yui said was also correct.

Tonight is indeed very long.

Totsuka Ayaka's unrequited love, Ebina Hina's rejection, Tobe Sho's retreat due to his personality issues, Hayama Hayato's agreement out of kindness, Miura Yumiko's affection...

There's also Hachiman Hikigaya's somewhat terrible, yet not entirely bad, personality.

In those ten minutes, he had already calculated all the factors that could be used and considered all possible escape routes.

Then, without considering anyone else's opinion, he proceeded to make the plan a reality.

Actually, it doesn't matter what others do, but has anyone asked Hachiman Hikigaya for his opinion?

Based solely on his conversation with the other party on the first day of the trip?

When his heart was as clear as a mirror and without cracks, he wouldn't have cared too much about these things.

But now... it seems that won't work.

"Aido, I think as long as the result is good, that's fine, right?" Yui asked, her pink cheeks slightly tilted after she had organized her thoughts.

"Although it's not a pleasant feeling to be kept in the dark by a friend, it's perfectly normal to feel resentful because of it, but what happened tonight must be Xiao Cai's wish, right?"

Xiaoqing is also working very hard to realize her wish, and I've seen it all.

And those two usually have a pretty good rapport, and I think...

If Hachiman hadn't been prepared, he wouldn't have been able to say so much, right?

Yui seemed to have more to say, but Su Qing and Yukino's stares were making her feel uncomfortable.

She awkwardly scratched the dumpling and asked:

"Um... what's wrong? Why is everyone looking at me like that?"

"No, it's nothing. I'm just a little shocked that you said so much in one go."

Yukino's slightly dilated pupils said it all.

"Hey, I'm not a stutterer or anything! A normal person can say this much in one breath, right?"

After making a few sarcastic remarks, Yui lost her previous serious demeanor, glanced at Su Qing somewhat awkwardly, and continued.

"Anyway... Xiaoqing, don't blame yourself too much, okay?"

"Well, because of what you said, I might give you a bigger spot if it rains later."

Actually, Su Qing didn't really feel guilty, or rather, she felt very little guilty.

After all, Hachiman was so happy afterwards, he looked like a complete lecher!

However, considering it's the other person's first relationship, it's not surprising.

"Instead of worrying about getting more seats, it would be better to hurry up and leave before the rain starts, right?"

And I remember there's a convenience store down the mountain that sells umbrellas, though they're a bit pricey..."

Yukino reflected on why she had inexplicably become part of their play, and said with a bit of a headache.

Tick, tick.

As if in response to their conversation, a light rain suddenly began to fall.

The moonlight suddenly became hazy.

Yui stared blankly ahead, where a flaxen-haired girl stood not far away.

Beneath the dark green double umbrella, a caramel color filled with worry lingered.

Very beautiful.

So beautiful it takes your breath away.

Yui lowered her gaze slightly and spoke softly.

"Xiaoqing, your girlfriend is here to pick you up. Don't keep her waiting too long..."

Chapter 319 Those Eyes Filled with Autumn Rain

?

That day, the moon was very bright, but suddenly a heavy rain began to fall.

?

girlfriend?

When did this happen?

Yukino's usually calm eyes suddenly surged with a thousand waves, as if a pebble had been thrown into them.

Su Qing first glanced at Yui, then her gaze fell on Mahiru, who was arriving from another exit not far away.
