Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 30

After a while, Su Qing got the answer.

there is only one truth!

"This message came from the weather station on the mainland; it seems the Japanese weather station's message will be a little later."

"How could the meteorological observatory on the mainland have observed this earlier than ours?"

Yukino Yukinoshita isn't questioning, she's just wondering. You see, Japan is located on a small island where typhoons and earthquakes are commonplace; it's quite normal for office workers to be on their way to work during typhoons. If the weather station were incompetent, the leader would have been "completely incompetent" and slunk out of office long ago.

"It is said that Gray's original route was to reach the southeast coast of the continent, but now, for some reason, Gray has turned around and is heading straight for Japan."

This is a lie. Su Qing naturally knows why Gray turned around; it's clear that all of this is inseparable from Mazu's protection.

"I see."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. If that's the case, then it makes sense. After all, this isn't the first time a typhoon has turned around; although it's not frequent, it's not uncommon either.

Outside the window, as dusk quietly approached, the sky began to stage a breathtaking variation.

The once azure sky was now dotted with a few strokes of pale gray, as if by an invisible paintbrush. Gradually, these pale gray hues spread like ink wash, until the entire horizon was covered by a thick layer of clouds. The clouds grew lower and thicker, like the heavy breath of nature itself.

Soon, subtle changes in light and shadow began to appear in the clouds, a result of water vapor condensation inside the clouds and the penetration and scattering of light.

The sky's color changed from light gray to dark gray, and then to lead gray, giving people a feeling of oppression and gloom.

As the typhoon drew closer, the clouds became even more turbulent, churning and colliding as if engaged in a silent battle.

The eye of the storm began to appear and disappear in the clouds, a relatively calm area in stark contrast to the raging torrential rain and strong winds surrounding it. However, this did not signify safety; rather, it foreshadowed the approaching typhoon at its most powerful.

Finally, the rain poured down, the raindrops dense and powerful, making a pattering sound as they hit the window.

"It seems a bit late, but it's not too late yet."

After Su Qing finished speaking, she looked at the two of them.

"You all probably brought umbrellas, right?"

"Of course I brought some, but rest assured, the romantic comedy scenario you're fantasizing about won't happen."

As if noticing the handsome features of the young man in front of her, she added.

"At the very least, it won't happen to me."

The meticulous yet somewhat narcissistic girl gave Su Qing even more information about her.

He didn't care; such an attack seemed so pale and powerless in front of the Eight Friends. As a mainland netizen who had been tested many times, it was so easy.

Then, Su Qing looked at Hachiman beside her, who was clearly a little stunned.

"So you were talking to me just now?"

Su Qing nodded, signaling the other party not to mess around. This was just a slice-of-life urban novel, not some supernatural story.

"Oh, I brought that too."

Actually, Hachiman initially thought he had misunderstood, since a friend of his had a similar experience when he was in junior high school, which was a truly unpleasant past.

"Well then, farewell."

After packing everything up and making sure nothing was left behind, Su Qing took the lead and left the club.

……

"Huh? Shiina, what are you doing standing here? Why haven't you gone back yet?"

Su Qing, who had just left the clubroom, quickly arrived at the shoe lockers and found Shiina standing at the door, her posture upright and elegant, like an angel who had inadvertently stepped out of a carefully arranged painting.

Her gaze was serene, fixed on the distance, seemingly detached from the world, untouched by the noise and clamor of the surrounding rain. A breeze swept by, ruffling her hair, adding to her ethereal, otherworldly aura.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, making people hold their breath, afraid of disturbing this beautiful and peaceful existence.

Chapter 41 The Great Devil and His Angel

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shiina Mahiru was slightly startled and instinctively turned her head. When she saw that it was Su Qing, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Good afternoon, Su Qing." Shiina Mahiru's tone revealed a hint of surprise. Counting the last time, this was the second time she had met Su Qing here, which was quite a wonderful coincidence.

She gently smoothed the hem of her skirt and explained, "I just helped the teacher with some things and was planning to leave the school, but then it suddenly started raining."

A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, as if she were somewhat troubled by the sudden rain. But this emotion was fleeting, and she quickly regained her composure.

Then, Shiina Mahiru looked at Su Qing curiously and asked, "And you? Why aren't you home yet, so late?"

Su Qing smiled and replied, "I recently joined a club, and I've been participating in club activities, so I'm only just finishing up now."

"Oh, I see." Shiina Mahiru nodded thoughtfully, indicating her understanding. She couldn't help but admire Su Qing's efficiency in finding clubs. But thinking about it, it made sense; with his outstanding athletic achievements and sunny, handsome appearance, even though he hadn't been at the school for long, he must have attracted the attention and invitations of many clubs.

"Where's your umbrella?"

Su Qing was puzzled. It was currently the rainy season in Japan, and even without a typhoon, sudden rain was perfectly normal. Therefore, were Japanese high school students who didn't carry umbrellas basically idiots?

Su Qing didn't think Shiina Mahiru was an idiot; if she were, she couldn't have made such delicious food.

"My umbrella? I lent it to a classmate who was helping the teacher. Her umbrella broke as soon as she opened it, so it was unusable. Besides, she had to rush to her job, so I lent it to her."

Because the pronunciations of "he" and "she" in Japanese are different, Su Qing knew that the classmate was a girl.

Also, this umbrella that breaks as soon as it's opened, could it have been bought on Pinduoduo for 9.9 RMB with free shipping?

Besides, is this class absolutely necessary? It's just a part-time job!

"Would that person still rush to work if a typhoon were to make landfall?"

Su Qing posed a soul-searching question.

"So it was a typhoon? I don't know much about her job, but she said her boss offered her five times her hourly wage, so she rushed off."

Su Qing was immediately shocked. Was this still the boss? Was Shiina actually a relative of someone who got the job through connections?

"Then let's use my umbrella and go back together, since we live in the same apartment building anyway."

A hint of hesitation flashed in Shiina Mahiru's beautiful eyes. It wasn't that she couldn't accept sharing an umbrella with Su Qing, but what if the umbrella wasn't big enough and the other person got wet?

Su Qing noticed Shiina's hesitation and knew that the other party was probably worried about something, so she teased him.

"The rain will only get heavier, and if you don't come back with me, I'll starve to death at home by myself. I don't think you'd have that kind of heart, Shiina."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Mahiru chuckled softly, then reluctantly conceded, but added something else.

"Okay, but you can't get wet because of me."

"It's all wrapped up, so it won't get wet."

After saying that, Su Qing opened the umbrella she had prepared for a long time, gripped the handle with both hands, and opened it wide, the umbrella blooming like a flower.

To be honest, it is quite large; it should be able to fit two people without any problem.

"Okay, come in."

Su Qing glanced at the rain outside, thought for a moment, and switched the umbrella handle from her right hand to her left, naturally standing on the right side of the umbrella handle.

Shiina Mahiru didn't notice Su Qing's little actions and then stood on the left side of the umbrella handle.

"Let's go back."

"okay."

The two stepped into the rain side by side. Su Qing quietly adjusted the angle of the umbrella to ensure that raindrops wouldn't fall on Shiina Mahiru's shoulders. They walked along the wet path, each step splashing water and making a soft sound, which intertwined with the sound of the rain to create a melodious tune.

The surrounding scenery, cleansed by the rain, became even more pristine and ethereal. The leaves, washed a vibrant green by the rain, reflected a soft light. Distant buildings appeared and disappeared in the rain and mist, as if veiled in mystery. The air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and flowers, a truly invigorating experience.

Shiina Mahiru looked up at the world outside the umbrella. Raindrops slid down the edge of the umbrella, forming glistening beaded curtains. She suddenly felt that walking in the rain with Su Qing like this had a unique charm, and a strange warmth welled up in her heart.

The young boy and girl blended seamlessly with the surrounding scenery, becoming a beautiful picture in the rain. It was a pity that there were few people on the street at that moment, so no one could appreciate this beautiful scene.

"Shiina, what are your thoughts on typhoon weather?"

Su Qing, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Typhoons? I wouldn't say I like them, since every time a typhoon comes, it causes traffic jams and such."

Su Qing feigned surprise.

"What? Shiina, you don't like typhoons? Shouldn't students love typhoons the most, since they get a holiday when a typhoon comes?"

Yes, office workers can't take holidays, but students can.

"What? You like typhoons for that reason?"

Shiina Mahiru was puzzled; why was Su Qing suddenly acting like a child?

"No, actually I don't like typhoons either."

Su Qing then changed the subject, becoming somewhat heartbroken.

"After all, once a typhoon comes, it's easy for the power to go out suddenly at home. Can you imagine life without electricity? And a sudden power outage means that we've worked so hard on the game, finally reached the last level, and then the typhoon hits and the screen goes black. We don't even have time to save the game. At that time, we can only stare at the black screen, and then look at our phones until the battery dies. In the end, we're so bored that we can only tap on the wooden fish to accumulate merit."

Su Qing took a deep breath and then raised her voice.

"That's why typhoons are absolutely the worst!"

After watching Su Qing's performance, which suddenly turned into a dramatic act, Shiina Mahiru finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It turns out that Su Qing is surprisingly naive in this regard. Apart from children, what college student would hate typhoons for such a reason? It's just like a child."

No, for college students, it's actually quite possible...

When Su Qing saw that Shiina had finally turned into that familiar look, she also put away her childish demeanor and smiled.

"This is the Shiina I know."

"Hey, what does that mean?"

"When I saw you at the door just now, I suddenly felt that you were just like a perfect angel, even when you borrowed an umbrella from a friend."

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Of course not. There are no angels in this world. You're just an ordinary Japanese college student. The way you laugh at me now, calling me naive, makes you seem more real."

After saying that, Su Qing seemed to have thought of something, her tone playful.

"However, it's also possible that I, the devil, can't stand angels, so I want to send the perfect angels down to earth, so they can never return to heaven. You see, aren't many stories like this?"

"Really? That's terrifying. But don't most stories end with angels purifying demons?"

"No, no, no, I am a great demon, I cannot be purified."

"Oh, so it's Mr. Great Demon? I wonder if Mr. Great Demon would like to eat the food prepared by your enemy tonight?"

"Hey, let's keep things separate."

Su Qing panicked when she heard Shiina threaten her with delicious food.

"Hmph, so, Mr. Great Demon, would you be willing to be purified by me obediently?"

"Well... of course I'd like to."

"So it seems the Great Demon isn't all that great after all~"

When Shiina Mahiru spoke these words, her voice was as melodious as a wind chime, her tone became unusually light, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fox-like cunning.

"No, the Great Demon is certainly powerful, but surely no one in this world can resist an angel's cooking?"

"cunning"

"what?"

Because of the rain and the howling wind, Su Qing couldn't catch the faint sound for a moment.

"It's nothing, you idiot."

Shiina Mahiru suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something. She slightly moved her shoulder and gently bumped into Su Qing. The bump wasn't hard, but it made Su Qing feel a little strange. It was a strange feeling; even though she bumped into his arm, she felt an itch inside, like being scratched by a kitten.

Where Su Qing couldn't see, Shiina Mahiru's slightly lowered cheeks were unconsciously tinged with a blush.

"Shiina, I think you bumped into me and hurt me."

"Lying is not something a good child should do; I didn't even use any force."

"Really? Then the angels are too restrained by the demons. Anyway, I think you hurt me."

"How about I add an extra dish for you tonight as a treat?"

"Of course, who can resist the temptation of an angel's extra meal?"

After saying that, the two smiled at each other and then neither spoke again, but they both unconsciously quickened their pace as they walked home.

Just like that poem
