Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 42

Su Qing, my Superman!

Hikigaya gave Su Qing a grateful look, then followed Totsuka Ayaka happily.

Su Qing remained on the steps, calmly took a sip of water, and was somewhat moved.

Well, Hachiman was probably too busy running around on the court to notice, but Totsuka Saika, who was watching the game from beginning to end, noticed him early on. After he and Hachiman finished their match, he waited for a while before coming up to talk to him.

It's safe to say that Totsuka's eyes were on Hachiman the entire time, so "Let's play ball together" was a lie, and "Let's play ball with Hachiman" was the truth. Since the other party wanted to play ball with Hachiman so much, he might as well do them a favor and let the two of them play by themselves.

Don't force yourself into a circle that isn't yours; that's a very obvious principle.

But is Totsuka Saika really a man? Hachiman seems to be completely smitten with her.

Su Qing seemed to have thought of something funny and couldn't help but laugh, then took a sip of water to suppress her laughter.

The afternoon breeze on a summer day is very pleasant, carrying a hint of coolness and a refreshing scent. Especially after you've exercised and sweated, the breeze blowing across your sweaty skin accelerates the evaporation of sweat, taking away more heat from the skin's surface, making that cool and refreshing feeling even more pronounced.

Moreover, the summer breeze always carries a pleasant scent of gardenias...

Hmm? Gardenia?

Good afternoon, Su Qing.

A gentle breeze carried the girl's clear and melodious voice into Su Qing's ears, bringing a sense of comfort. If one had to describe it, it was like a clear spring flowing through her heart, nourishing everything and washing away all impurities.

"Good afternoon, Shiina." Su Qing recognized Shiina's voice and, of course, her signature gardenia scent. It was unique; Su Qing had never met anyone else with that scent.

So, which brand of shampoo does Shiina use? This must be a huge advertising opportunity!

"Why didn't you go play ball with others?" Shiina asked with some concern.

After all, the other person had just transferred here, and Japan has a particularly strong clique culture, so Shiina thought the other person hadn't found a partner yet.

"I just played with someone for a while, and now he's gone to play with someone else. I'm resting here for a bit," Su Qing explained softly, knowing what the other person was worried about.

"Really? That's good." Shiina was clearly relieved, and the worry in her voice had dissipated considerably.

"Where are you, Shiina? I don't think I saw you just now."

Since Su Qing already knew that the two classes had their physical education classes together, and since the other class was basically always in the center of the crowd, it was hard not to notice them, Su Qing was very puzzled as to why she hadn't seen Shiina.

"I was asked to do some things by other teachers as soon as get out of class ended, and I've only just come down now," Shiina explained.

"Why don't we just stay in the classroom? There's no need to come down here." Su Qing thought for a moment and decided that the air conditioning in the classroom was more comfortable.

"That's not right! Your body will rust if you don't exercise."

Shiina had a stern, cute face, as if she were criticizing Su Qing's improper attitude. However, in Su Qing's eyes, the other party's actions only added to the charm of her delicate face.

Su Qing thought of a saying: When you are weak, even your anger becomes cute.

"I'm sorry, Shiina-sensei, I was wrong. I'll do it again next time," Su Qing replied to Shiina with a grin.

"Then why didn't you go play ball with others? Isn't it said that if you don't exercise, your body will rust?" Su Qing retorted.

"Well, when I came down, they had all found partners, and it seems one of them took the day off, so I was left alone." Shiina said helplessly. Who would have thought it would be such a coincidence?

A lone Shiina? This is a perfect opportunity...

"Really? That's quite a coincidence." Su Qing got up from the steps and patted the dust off her bottom.

"I really hope it's not such a coincidence if I can." A hint of trouble flashed in Shiina's eyes. After all, how can one person play tennis?

You're right, right, Hikigaya?

"I hope it will happen this way again next time."

"...Is Su Qing trying to make my body rust?" Shiina retorted.

"How could you think that?" Su Qing retorted with a smile.

"If Shiina's body rusts, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to the life of making bento boxes at convenience stores," Su Qing said, feigning distress.

"That……?"

"If it happens to be this convenient next time, I think I can invite you to play ball with me."

"Eh?"

"But that's for next time. What I wanted to ask is, does Mr. Shiina need a partner to play with right now?"

Sunlight, like fine gold foil, filtered through the wisps of hair on his forehead, falling on Su Qing's slightly smiling face. It then gently flowed and gathered in his gently raised palm, seemingly carrying all the tenderness and invitation of summer in the interplay of light and shadow.

The gentle breeze, nature's delicate touch, continues to tell its story in its own unique way. Neither too hot nor too cold, it carries the whispers of the leaves and gently brushes past, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort and tranquility.

It was this perfectly timed breeze that brought Shiina back from her wandering thoughts.

A faint blush rose on her face, and as she lowered her head slightly, a soft, jade-like hand was placed in Su Qing's hand, as if grasping the warm afternoon sun, or as if grasping the entire summer.

Then, Shiina slowly raised her head, her caramel-colored pupils gleaming with joy, her eyebrows curving, and she spoke softly in her distinctively gentle voice.

"Of course I won't refuse, especially... if it's you."

A gentle breeze carries the pleasant scent of gardenias.

Su Qing felt that Shiina Mahiru was smiling like a flower at this moment.

Chapter 57 Even the Troubled Angel is Cute

"Hey, look! Isn't that an angel?"

"Angels my ass, I'm still talking about UFO alien hackers fighting Mojaus."

"No... I meant Shiina-kun."

"Oh, you've been directing too much and you're getting delirious, huh? Hold on a little, let me see..."

"Who is that guy? How dare he play ball with the angel? I... I want to too, waaaaah."

"Then think about it some more."

"I can't take it anymore, Identity Six, activate!"

"What's wrong? Did you get a mental breakdown from the shock?"

"Idiot. Identity Six is ​​a game, don't you know that?"

"Wait, bro, you're actually explaining this? Can you even process my sudden change of expression? (Laughs while covering face + a certain gesture)"

"..."

……

The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is always a hot topic, especially on a university campus, which is known for its gossip. After Shiina and Su Qing played a few tennis matches, more and more people from both classes came to watch, no, even people from other grades came to watch the excitement.

At first, everyone was just admiring the two's good looks, but after watching for a while, they realized that their impressive ball skills were the biggest highlight.

"Shiina, do you want to rest for a while?" Su Qing walked to the net and asked with concern, looking at Shiina who was sweating a lot.

At this moment, Shiina's cheeks were flushed from the exercise, like peach blossoms in early spring, delicate and beautiful. A playful bead of sweat hung on the tip of her nose, teetering on the verge of falling, but ultimately succumbed to gravity and gently slid down, brushing across her soft lips, leaving a barely perceptible dampness.

The girl's hair was slightly damp with sweat, strands clinging to her cheeks, adding a touch of playfulness and charm. She breathed softly, her chest rising and falling with each breath, and with each breath, one could almost smell the unique scent of fresh air mingled with sweat.

"Okay, I'm a little tired too. Speaking of which, your tennis skills are really good. Did you train specifically before?"

Su Qing's hair was slightly damp with sweat, a few strands sticking unruly to his forehead, which did not diminish his handsomeness but instead added a touch of casualness and wildness. Sweat soaked his clothes, clinging to his skin and outlining his strong yet agile physique.

For some reason, Shiina Mahiru suddenly felt that Su Qing seemed more charming than usual at this moment. Bathed in sweat, Su Qing's Adam's apple seemed to have a more beautiful and sexy line than before.

I wonder what it will feel like to touch it...

That can't be done! Wouldn't that be inappropriate...?

Shiina Mahiru quickly realized what was happening. Fortunately, she had just finished exercising, and the blush on her face caused by the strange thoughts she had just had was covered up by her original blush, so nothing seemed amiss.

"No, I was just playing around. Let's go sit over there for a while, it seems a bit crowded here." Su Qing replied casually. Shiina's tennis skills were indeed quite good, and most importantly, his stamina was much better than Hikigaya's, which made Su Qing enjoy the game very much.

In sports like badminton and table tennis, especially two-player games, it's not a problem if two inexperienced players clash and hone their serves; the real challenge is between a tall and a short player. The shorter player is fine, but the taller player has to learn how to play to their full potential.

Speaking of which, I wonder how Hachiman and Totsuka are doing with their game?

"Okay, there are quite a lot of people here." Shiina noticed the crowd of spectators that had grown up at some point. After picking up the tennis ball from the ground, she and Su Qing sat down on the steps not far away to rest.

Seeing that the two had started to rest, and since it wasn't long before get out of class ended, most of the onlookers left in twos and threes.

"Here, please wipe your sweat." Shiina took a white handkerchief out of her pocket and handed it to Su Qing.

Thanks, but what about you?

"Don't worry about me. That's my backup, I haven't used it yet, so please rest assured," Shiina replied softly.

Actually, it doesn't matter if you've used it before, probably.

Su Qing took the handkerchief. Although Shiina had never used it before, Su Qing could still faintly smell Shiina's unique fragrance from it, and her heart involuntarily quickened a few beats.

All I can say is, your absolute sense of smell has really caused a lot of harm!

"Are you thirsty?" Su Qing noticed that Shiina seemed to have come down in a hurry without bringing any water, and asked with concern.

"I am indeed a bit thirsty..."

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go buy you a bottle of water. What would you like to drink?"

"There's no need for that..."

"Hmm, who are you? I don't think I need your permission to buy water for my tennis partner." Su Qing frowned, as if there was a third stranger present.

"It's just the two of us here. Hmm... what would you like to drink?"

Shiina covered her mouth and chuckled twice. She rested her right index finger on her pretty chin, tilted her head slightly to the left, rolled her eyes as if she were thinking, and parted her pink lips slightly as if she were muttering something. Then she sat up straight again, gave a pretty smile, and whispered.

"Then black tea it is, please, Mr. Big Devil."

What an embarrassing premise! I'm begging for mercy.

Su Qing thought for a moment and decided that she should stop joking about Hachiman's nickname in the future, just to accumulate some good karma for herself.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back," Su Qing instructed.

"I know, I always feel like Su Qing treats me like a child." Shiina said with a slightly puffed-up face, as if she was thinking about something that happened before.

Su Qing didn't reply, but simply gave Shiina a smile and left.

"What is this..." Shiina muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, but soon laughed as he looked at Su Qing's back.

Hmm... just a few times, just a few times is fine. After all, it feels pretty good to be treated like a child once in a while.

However, if next time... if Su Qing still treats me like a child next time, then... then...

Shiina racked her clever little brain for a while, and after thinking for a long time, she finally decided that if Su Qing still treated her like a child next time, she would make even more delicious food until Su Qing was stuffed to death!

Hmph, let's see if he dares to do it again!

But wouldn't it be bad if I overate...?

Otherwise, would you just hold on until you're half-dead?

No, no, no, just hold on for three minutes and then die, okay...

And so, the angel was caught up in a brainstorming session.

It seems the angel has never cooked steak before; if she had, she wouldn't be in this predicament.

perhaps.

Meanwhile, Su Qing, who went to a nearby vending machine, was unable to buy a drink.

Specifically, it's about Su Qing encountering a wild vending machine sprite...

Chapter 58 The Gaze of the Abyss

Three minutes later...

"Is there something wrong with this vending machine?" A clear voice broke Yukino Yukinoshita's reverie, startling her from her thoughts. She recognized the voice and frowned slightly as she looked to the side before calming down.

"It's you, transfer student. Could you please not sneak up next to people so quietly and scare them next time?"

"I don't think I deliberately lowered my pace; it's just that you were too focused, Yukinoshita-kun," Su Qing explained with a smile, then glanced at the vending machine and repeated her question.

"So, what's wrong with this vending machine? Did it swallow your money?"

"No, I think there shouldn't be any malfunction." A look of embarrassment appeared under the cool snow, but it was fleeting, and she quickly returned to her normal demeanor.

"I see." Su Qing stroked her chin. So it turns out she wasn't some genius, aloof beauty who fixed a shady vending machine, but just a sheltered young lady who couldn't even use a vending machine?

However, this setting is too old-fashioned. It's a classic plot that would be criticized even by Tomato.

But then Su Qing thought of all the college students who didn't even know how to download Steam, and quickly felt relieved.
