Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 82

Because "liking" and "how good you are" are inherently unrelated.

Therefore,

You need to get to know the friends who like you.

Love someone who won't make you cry.

Go wherever you want to go.

Go and fulfill your cherished dreams.

Go and become the person you most want to be.

Shiina just listened blankly, and the Pikachu she was holding tightly loosened its grip a little.

"Mahiru."

Su Qing suddenly called out Shiina's name.

Immediately afterwards, an elegant and slender hand slowly came into her view, like a slow-motion scene in a movie, gradually magnifying in her pupils, and finally gently landing on that place that they both knew so well.

Su Qing's fingers gently caressed the area, each touch seemingly carrying boundless warmth, filling the surrounding air with an imperceptible sense of comfort.

Then, Shiina looked up and met Su Qing's increasingly gentle and warm eyes.

"Whether they are 'angels' at school or 'children' now, there is one established fact that cannot be changed."

That is, the individual named [Shiina Mahiru] is unique. Even if there is a similar flower named [Shiina Mahiru] blooming in some corner of this world, with the same appearance, voice and hobbies as you.

But you still have the most fundamental differences.

Because you are you.

"...If, I mean if, there really is a similar flower, would you be able to recognize it at that time?"

Mahiru had never longed for an answer as much as she did now. Never before, her fingertips were red from gripping so tightly with nervousness. However, Shiina seemed oblivious to the pain, and her voice trembled uncontrollably.

Su Qing will not disappoint his angel.

Therefore, Su Qing said this without hesitation:

"Yes, definitely. After all, your cooking is unique and the most special. There will never be another person in the world who can make it."

"So, Mahiru, no matter what you are like, there will be people who like you and people who accept you."

From now on, should I try to live for myself?

……

That's strange...

I clearly don't want to cry, I clearly want to control myself.

Why, why does it keep flowing uncontrollably?

What exactly is this inner turmoil?

This is so strange, so strange...

I'm a completely different person at home than at school. I have a terrible personality; I'm neither honest nor cute. So why would you say something like that to me...?

He's such an idiot...

What? Am I the only one here now?

What's with your heart pounding like an idiot?

That's too cunning, isn't it?

After saying something like that, how am I supposed to leave you?

That day too, even though I rejected you in such a cold tone.

And why did you shove the umbrella into my hand?

In the end, I still caught a cold, and you got caught in the rain too...

Huh? Wait a minute...

Why did you suddenly hug me?

but……

So warm, so comfortable...

At the same time, that familiar, overly overpowering voice gently landed on Mahiru's heart again, like the warm spring sun, melting ice and snow, reviving all things, and like the dawn breaking, finally welcoming the first light.

"If you want to cry, cry in my arms. After all, you're a little kid today, and there's nothing we can do about it."

In addition, as a reward for the competition, my request is that you, in the future, can occasionally act like a child, just like today?

"Hmm... just think of it as one of my quirky quirks."

Su Qing put her hands behind Mahiru's back, hugged her tightly, and said with a smile.

"Even if it's just once in a while like today, it can be quite troublesome."

The angel kindly offered advice, but the great demon Su Qing neither appreciated it nor was destined to.

"It's okay. I'm not afraid of trouble at all. In fact, if it's trouble like this, I think I can have it a few more times."

"So, it's a promise...?"

"Okay, let's add that to the contract."

"A contract?... If it's a contract, then there's nothing we can do."

Shiina seemed resigned to her fate, speaking softly, but anyone could sense the happiness emanating from her words.

"Yes, that's how it is then. So just accept it honestly, Mahiru-kun~"

"Ahhh, so sweet! It's like watching an idol drama!! Kyoko, Kyoko, why aren't you saying anything!"

At this moment, Ayaka had completely forgotten about morality and bottom lines. This was just too sweet, too irresistible!

But she didn't receive a response from Kyoko for a long time. That was strange. Logically speaking, Kyoko should have been excitedly shouting by now.

When she turned to look at Kyoko Sato, she found that the other woman had already left.

Ayaka hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to follow Kyoko Sato. After all, it seemed a bit strange for her to be doing it alone.

"Wait, Kyoko, why did you leave so suddenly? Aren't you going to continue kowtowing?"

"What are you doing? Are you a pervert for eavesdropping and stalking?"

"Huh? No...you?"

Ayaka had never thought Sato Kyoko was such a jerk. Just as she was about to confront her, she heard the other woman say leisurely:

No matter how good or wonderful someone else's story is, it's still theirs.

No matter how much we see, we can never truly participate in other people's stories.

Now that we've seen the process and foreseen the outcome,

So, I guess we can stop following this story now?

So, let's write the rest of the story ourselves.

"Kyoko, you're so philosophical! I misunderstood you!"

"Hahaha, why haven't I found my love yet? Waaaaah, didn't I just quit my job for nothing?!"

Damn it, all that "norm-loving" life and youth, just explode!!!

Kyoko Sato suddenly shouted, attracting the attention of many people around her.

"Haha, she's had too much to drink, sorry, sorry."

Ayaka thought she should have known long ago that Kyoko was the one in this world.

The biggest and dumbest idiot!!!

Why would someone fall in love with another person?

People always say that liking someone has no reason, and feelings are irrational.

Fuck you.

Why doesn't he or she like me?

Isn't it without reason? Isn't it unreasonable?

If someone were to ask you right now whether you like xxx

You're probably completely confused. Who is xxx? Why would I like him/her?

See, you asked it yourself, and you already said it:

Why should we like it?

Therefore, this statement is incorrect.

Before you can fall in love, you need a chance and a connection. Otherwise, why can two complete strangers fall in love?

On what basis? On the so-called fate of marriage, or the red thread of destiny?

Fuck it!

Aren't predestined relationships and the red thread of fate what we call "opportunities"?

And what happens after you start to like it?

It seems that no reason is needed anymore.

Because of your unique individuality, that's why I like you.

It wasn't because you did something or said something at a specific time that stirred something within me;

It wasn't that at a certain moment, I made eye contact with you and, under the influence of hormones and the reproductive instinct hidden in human DNA, I fell madly in love with you.

No, none of that is true, it can't be like that.

If it had been someone else, xxx, who had handed Mahiru the umbrella on that rainy day instead of Su Qing, would Mahiru have fallen for him?

If, on another rainy day, you saw that the seemingly strong "angel" was complaining about the typhoon like a child, saying that the person who was supposed to be the Great Demon who wanted to cast you down to earth was not Su Qing, but another xxx, would Mahiru fall in love with him?

If the person who tells themselves, "Liking you has nothing to do with how good you are," isn't Su Qing...

No, that's wrong. These "ifs" and "assumptions" are meaningless.

Because it is an individual named [Su Qing] who would do things at these points in time that only [he] would do, and only [he] would do things that are so cunning that they cannot be more cunning.

After him, no matter how much outsiders do or how sweet their words are, they can never become Su Qing again.

Yes, there are, but they are just similar flowers.

Yes, but they are just clumsy imitators.

Just as Su Qing said:

There was only one unique individual named [Shiina Mahiru].

and so:

From beginning to end, there is only one Su Qing, and there will only be one.

Although there may be occasional light breezes and drizzle, the sky is generally clear and sunny.

Mahiru suddenly realized that the feeling she had foreshadowed the coming of sunshine on that rainy day when they first met was not an illusion.

As it turned out, Qingtian really did come to her side as promised, and now she was right in front of her.

Therefore, Su Qing.

Since you're already this cunning, please continue to be cunning. I'm willing to be even more cunning.

because,

I like you
