Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Then a hint of hesitation and difficulty flashed across her face, and she said softly:

"I'm sorry, we're not in the same class, so I can't help you with anything."

“There’s no need to feel guilty. In the end, you wouldn’t have taken on this commission if you were alone.” Su Qing shook her head indifferently. “Now, if we want to complete this commission smoothly, all we need to do is make the Ministry of Revenue think about ‘not confessing’.”

"Changing someone's mind is very difficult, isn't it? You yourself said that the Ministry of Revenue's offensive is very aggressive; it's unrealistic to expect them to change their attitude in just a few days. Besides..."

Yukino hesitated for a moment, but still chose not to speak.

Do you think this is a passive, escapist approach?

Su Qing didn't even need to look Yukino in the eye to understand what she hadn't been able to say.

"Hmm...maybe a little, I can't really say for sure. It just feels like this is a commission that's destined to fail."

A hint of confusion flashed in Yukino's eyes.

honestly.

She wasn't clear about the significance of this.

What she was most unwilling to accept was that she couldn't be of any help.

The original survey on "attractions that women might be interested in" now seems to be of little use.

"Why are you always concerned with success or failure, or whether something is meaningful or meaningless?"

Just then, Su Qing suddenly looked at Yukino, as if questioning her.

But before the other person could speak, he continued:

"The cost of trial and error in a person's life is actually very low."

When we were young, adults always said that the middle school entrance exam was very important. When we were in high school, they said that the college entrance exam was very important. After we went to university, they said that the postgraduate entrance exam and the civil service exam were very important.

It's as if we're walking on thin ice from the moment we're born, and one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.

But the problem is, where are there so many crucial things? We're not 'keyboard warriors,' you know?"

Su Qing didn't get a definite answer from Yukino, but instead heard a soft chuckle.

The black-haired girl had turned her face to the side at some point, and he could only see that her shoulder was trembling slightly.

"No matter how you look at it, it's not a good idea to talk to a friend without looking at them, is it?"

"I'm so sorry. It was so windy just now, and sand got into my eyes..."

As Yukino tried to suppress her laughter, her voice became increasingly loud and soft.

But this added a touch of softness and gentleness to her voice, making it as enchanting as a nightingale singing in a valley.

What a lame excuse...

Why doesn't the sand get into my eyes?

Su Qing sighed softly, and Yukino turned around at that moment, a few glistening tears appearing in the corners of her eyes.

Yukino didn't want to laugh either, but the education she received from childhood and the environment she was in didn't involve many simple and straightforward words.

[A keyboard warrior?]

[Speaking of which, you're clearly the top student in your grade at Soubu High School, so saying something like that doesn't really hold up...]

"Try to think about it from a different perspective. Why was this commission destined to fail? Actually, the responsibility doesn't lie with anyone. If we have to say, it's that the Ministry of Revenue failed to recognize its own limitations and, more importantly, failed to recognize the situation."

Has anyone told you this?

You are too kind; you always like to take all the responsibility upon yourself.

Isn't it? "

Seeing that Yukino had almost regained her composure, Su Qing turned her head back.

If a person is a book.

He figured he had already read through most of the book [Yukino].

"I... am kind?"

Yukino stared blankly at Su Qing, who then looked back at her.

Is she kind?

Actually, she had never thought about this question.

"Yes, at least that's what I think. Yui and your sister... must think so too."

Su Qing's voice sounded very pleasant to Yukino at that moment.

It had a feeling of striking straight to her heart.

?

Su Qing knew clearly:

The girl had been caught in the rain before, but she didn't think about buying umbrellas to share with others later.

Instead, they do their best to change society, even if only in a small way.

That was her pure, crystal-clear expectation and perseverance.

However, they have never received recognition or affirmation.

Even close family members are like this.

This is perfectly normal.

Because we can only adapt to the environment, not change it.

and so.

The more effort and passion a girl pours into something, the more pain and despair she will experience in the end, like having her nerves cut.

As an older sister, Haruno must deeply love her younger sister, Yukino.

That's why the older sister [Yano], who loves her but also knows that her younger sister's dream is impossible to achieve, so bluntly said that she was "playing house" that day.

But isn't this also a form of protection through love?

Even without using [absolute sense of smell], Su Qing could clearly understand this.

Yukino in the past was not understood or accepted by anyone.

A pure and noble young woman would never aspire to such a thing.

Stubborn and clumsy, yet somehow somewhat distorted as a result.

It was only after he realized this with absolute clarity that he stayed in the Service Department, thinking about what he could do.

Rather than saying he didn't want to deny Yukino, it would be more accurate to say he didn't want to deny the youthful self who harbored such crystal-like expectations.

Everyone has had such beautiful but unrealistic dreams, yet no one wants to admit it.

Because we are all afraid that one day we will outrun time.

When facing their past selves in the mirror, they felt ashamed because they were covered in the dust of the mundane world.

The girl is like a plum blossom that grows on a steep cliff and stands firm in the cold winter.

Resilient and beautiful.

If he had the means, he wanted to extend a helping hand to her through what he called "serving".

As a friend, he would be willing to do so.

......

......

Chapter 290 The moonlight is beautiful, and the wind is gentle.

?

"My sister...?"

Yukino murmured softly.

Those clear eyes flashed with a multitude of colors in an instant.

She was probably reminiscing about her past with her sister.

"Yes, your sister must love you deeply, there's no doubt about that."

Su Qing smiled easily and then said.

"I actually... know, but I don't know how to talk to her. She's getting more and more into teasing me, like she's treating me like a child..."

Yukino puffed out her cheeks slightly, looking both cute and annoyed.

She's not ungrateful; she's well aware of Yang Nai's kindness and sacrifices.

But her love was somewhat awkward.

So she could only respond in the same awkward way.

Su Qing, who was silently observing Yukino's reaction, couldn't help but sigh.

Such similar attitudes...

To be honest, we're definitely best suited to be sisters.

"While communicating with family members may not always be advantageous, you can still reach a mutual understanding with your sister if you negotiate properly."

Speaking of Yang Nai, it's been a few days since the other party contacted him. He wonders if things are going well for the other party.

"Um... thank you. I'll try again after the school trip."

Yukino nodded slightly, then, as if she had thought of something, a faint blush gradually spread across her face.

[It's so late, I don't want someone to see me alone with him.]

[They'll probably be mistaken for...a couple, right?]

No, it's nothing really, he's just a friend to me anyway.

Yukino tried to convince herself, but after biting her thin lip, she still stood up and said:

"Is there anything else? If not... I'll head back now."

"I actually have some personal motives behind Totsuka's matter. It involves Saika and Hachiman, so it's best to leave this request to me."

Seeing that Yukino was about to leave, Su Qing returned to the main topic.

I don't know why, but when I talk to her, the conversation always drifts off into a tangent.

"Hikigaya and Totsuka?"

Yukino was visibly stunned for a moment, then gently stroked her chin, looking thoughtful.

She suddenly understood what Su Qing really wanted to do.

"Hmm... then I'll leave it to you."

"I have nothing else to say. Goodbye."

Su Qing waved casually, probably saying goodbye to Yukino.

Then he took out his phone, as if afraid of missing any of Mahiru's messages.

But just as he was about to open the dialog box, he caught a glimpse of a black streak hanging down out of the corner of his eye.

—Yukino hasn't left yet.

"Any thing else?"

Su Qing looked up and asked.

"Actually, it's nothing."

There was silence.

Only the soft light of the inn outlined Yukino's fair and beautiful face.

She raised her luminous eyes, which held the brightness and clarity of the moon.

then.

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, suddenly clenched her small fist, and said with a sweet smile:
