Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 371

While drinking water, Yukino noticed Yui's subtle movements out of the corner of her eye. After closing the water bottle, she immediately asked seriously.

"Hmm... Haha, actually it was just that Mahiru, Kiyoshi, and I accidentally made too much food, and we wanted to find someone to eat with..."

Yukino: SO?

Am I also part of your three-person play?

Yukino sighed softly, stood up, and said, "Never mind, I have something to do, I need to go back."

"Hey, hey, Xiaoxue, don't go! You were the first person we thought of calling us here."

Yui frantically tried to persuade him to stay, but Yukino remained unmoved.

Su Qing spoke up at this moment, "What is it? What is it?"

"It's the weekend today, no classes."

“I asked your sister, and she’s busy with work this weekend, so she’ll come to see you next week.”

"If they needed to go home, they would have refused us in the first place, so that's not it."

"As for other social relationships," Su Qing said with a smile, "as far as I know, there shouldn't be anyone you're close enough to break your promise to accept an invitation, right?"

Su Qing's words seemed to hit a nerve with Yukino, and she immediately stood still.

After a long while, he slowly turned his head, sat down consciously, sighed again, and then muttered very softly:

"Seriously, why do you know so much about what I'm going to do..."

"Since we're already here, let's sit down and join each other. It might be more fun with more people, and it's better than being alone, right?"

Mahiru smiled slightly and took out a prepared box, handing it to the other person, "Please use this; it was made by the three of us."

"Thank you."

Yukino opened it and glanced at it, raising an eyebrow involuntarily.

This isn't just a little bit more; with such a wide variety, it's probably a lot more than we should have done!

Are these people going to have to eat this for the rest of the days?

Oh no, after receiving the invitation, she got inexplicably excited and did quite a few things herself...

After all, you can't come empty-handed, can you?

In retrospect, it seems a bit unnecessary.

But since we've already done it, let's eat first. If we can't finish it, Su Qing can eat it too. Anyway, boys have big appetites.

Yukino thought to herself, and then took out the three small lunch boxes she had prepared and handed them to the three of them.

"Um... this is what I made this morning, you can try it."

"What? Xiaoxue, you've prepared such a lavish feast! You must have been really looking forward to having a picnic with us!"

Yui opened the bento box, her eyes practically sparkling with excitement.

I can enjoy Mahiru-chan's cooking on weekends, and then I can enjoy Koyuki's cooking on weekdays when I'm at school.

Hiahiahia, what a stupid Qing, I'm the winner!

"Nothing like that."

Yukino's fair cheeks flushed slightly for a moment. She turned her face away and retorted softly.

Suddenly a gust of wind picked up, and the sound of leaves rustling against each other filled my ears, along with a girl's scream as she clutched her skirt.

In an instant, the four people's vision was covered by white, fluffy particles floating in the air.

"It's dandelions and cherry blossoms!" Mahiru's voice was cheerful, as if she had discovered a treasure.

"You knew all that? You're really smart."

Su Qing pressed her ear against Zhen Zhou's, and the warm breath she exhaled made her body go limp instantly.

"Your praise is too perfunctory; it won't make me happy."

Even so, the girl still squinted her eyes happily, her right hand nimbly crawling until it finally touched its target, and she grabbed Su Qing's hand.

He even mischievously poked the other person's palm with his thumb.

But when Su Qing looked at her, she pretended nothing had happened and looked up at the sky, muttering to herself:

"I didn't do it. I didn't do it."

Su Qing smiled helplessly, and was about to say something when Yui suddenly shouted:

"Xiaoxue, you've turned into Santa Claus!"

"What do you mean?" Yukino tilted her head in confusion, her hand unconsciously touching her cheek, and she did indeed touch something strange.

Upon picking it, I realized it was a dandelion.

Click!

By the time Yukino realized what was happening, Yui had already taken the photos with her camera.

"What did you film?" Yukino's internal alarm bells went off.

"Hmm... a picture of Xiaoxue cosplaying Santa Claus." Yui said seriously, and proudly turned it over to show the other person.

Yukino took a closer look and immediately became anxious.

"What cosplay? That's dandelion that fell on my face, delete it now."

"I know it's dandelion," Yui thought to herself, "I'm not stupid."

"Then you still..."

"But it's so much fun and so pretty, hehe, can I just keep one picture, okay, Xiaoxue?"

Yui looked at the other person with her big, bright eyes, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry.

But Yukino only glanced at Su Qing before firmly saying, "No, delete them all."

"Huh? Why? It's really beautiful."

Yui glanced at her phone, somewhat annoyed. No matter how she looked at it, the photos were excellent. Normally, Xiaoxue wouldn't hold it against her.

"Anyway, hurry up..."

Yukino gathered her hair and stood up, as if to snatch it back.

"No, no, I want to watch it a little longer."

Yui instantly hid behind Su Qing.

As for how long "a while" is? She's bad at math; "a while" probably means a lifetime, right?

What? She miscalculated?

If you have any questions, talk to my camera and my math teacher/boyfriend Xiaoqing!

The two women kept circling around Su Qing, making him a little dizzy.

A few minutes later, Yukino, panting, leaned on her knees and bit her lip as she said to Su Qing:

"Get out of the way, don't protect her."

Su Qing: ?

"How could Xiaoqing possibly listen to you?" Yui grinned, hands on her hips, her face full of smugness.

Su Qing glanced at Yui but didn't say anything.

But then his gaze suddenly caught something, and he pointed to a flower not far away, saying:

"Why don't you tell me what kind of flower it is, and I'll move aside?"

Yui's smile froze instantly, and she stopped giggling immediately.

There are bad people among the crowd!

Yukino followed Su Qing's gaze and indeed spotted a unique blue flower.

The flowers are about 60cm tall, upright, and arranged in a panicle at the top, much like a type of windmill that children often play with here—the cornflower.

"Blue cornflower, so translated because it looks like a cornflower."

"Germany's national flower symbolizes meeting and happiness."

Yukino cleared her throat lightly. She had always remembered these things from the flower arrangement training she received in the Yukinoshita family since she was a child.

"That's a correct answer, but... is there anything else?"

"What else?"

Yukino was puzzled; her answer was quite comprehensive, and besides, the other party hadn't asked for that much detail.

Just as the girl was about to speak, a sudden gust of wind rose up on the hillside, and the world became both silent and noisy in an instant.

Countless white dandelion seeds and delicate pink cherry blossom petals were swept up by the gale, flying wildly, swirling and dancing.

It was as if a grand and romantic spring snow had fallen between heaven and earth.

A shower of petals filled the sky, like a dream.

Everyone fell silent. Lovers embraced, families clung to each other, and countless tourists put down what they were doing, holding their breath and immersing themselves in this fleeting natural wonder.

The strong wind gradually subsided, and the rain of petals gradually stopped.

Su Qing suddenly stood up and, under the three women's questioning gazes, went to the cornflower, but did not choose to pick it.

He simply swept his gentle gaze across Yukino, Yui, and Mahiru's faces one by one.

He then said softly:

"The cornflower symbolizes meeting and happiness."

"But for me."

"Meeting you all is already an immense blessing."

"But I won't say that meeting you all used up all my luck in my life."

He smiled as he spoke.

"Because I want to leave behind more luck and more shared memories with you all."

His gaze, with a touch of childlike inquiry, fell upon the three most important girls in his life:

Am I being a little greedy?

"Silly Qing!" Yui called out first, her eyes slightly red, but her voice was full of laughter, "It's only human nature!"

“Hmm,” Mahiru met his gaze, her beautiful eyes misty as if starlight flowed within them, and she said firmly, “If we’re talking about greed… I think I’m greedier than you.”

Yukino gently turned her face away, but the corners of her lips involuntarily turned up slightly, her voice as tender as warm snow embracing spring:

"You really know how to say things... But, there's nothing wrong with such a greedy wish."

Beneath the cherry blossom tree, three girls smiled radiantly, their eyes reflecting the spring sunshine, as well as the figures of each other and him.

At this moment, the boundaries of the seasons have become blurred, and no one can distinguish between spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

All I know is that the colors of everything are incredibly gentle.

Time reverses, spacetime flows backward.

Everything felt like a return to that first summer afternoon, filled with the noisy chirping of cicadas and the blazing sun.

It was as beautiful as when we first met.

So actually, the greatest romance in the world is not a boy kneeling on the lawn shouting "I love you", nor is it a fairy tale about a hero defeating a dragon and rescuing a princess.

All that remains is that summer filled with the incessant chirping of cicadas, when he met them, got to know them, became familiar with them, fell in love with them, and stayed with them.

From then on, light and shadow chased each other in each other's lives.

The paths along the way are also quietly filled with flowers, which are filled with sunlight and bloom with all four seasons.

Of course, life also has its ups and downs.

But thankfully, love can smooth things out.

From now on, we will both sleep peacefully in love.

No more wandering.
