Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 22

My child, you are now invincible and ready to graduate. I can no longer teach you anything.

Although I really wanted to say that, my indomitable spirit as a man surged into my heart, and it was definitely not because Shiina Mahiru's pitiful appearance made me soften.

Log in, let's play one more round! This time I'll definitely play seriously, okay?

As the game began, Su Qing and Shiina Mahiru focused intently on the screen in front of them, manipulating the controllers to accelerate, turn, and collect items on their car.

This time, the opponents seemed to be quite strong, with the four cars almost all separated by only one or half a car length, making for a heated and close match.

Su Qing knew that this was the favor of the Elo system. Only by matching with strong players could he highlight his strength. Those last few matches must have been their newbie protection. Who would be so lucky as to have a bunch of negative buffs thrown at them?

This time, we will definitely win big and return to our peak!

With a loud bang, and soon after, the two skilled players who had been matched with Su Qing picked up the super rare rocket launcher and threw it at Su Qing's car. The car, along with Su Qing's heart, shattered and was forever removed from this memorable track.

Su Qing, OUT

My scalp is so itchy, is it because I need to grow a brain?

Does your 8+ puzzle game allow players to pick up rocket launchers, blow up other people's cars, and blast them out of tunnels? Have you considered that this could potentially harm the physical and mental health of many children? How detrimental is this to their personal development?

How did you pass the interrogation? Let me ask you, can you teach me?

Su Qing angrily took out her phone and quickly searched with the speed of someone who had been single for many years. She found that 99.99% of the people playing this game were college students. As if she had gotten a satisfactory answer, she put her phone back.

College students, that's normal~

Now that things had come to this, Su Qing leaned back slightly, twisted her arms around the floor, and began to admire Shiina's actions.

But to his surprise, the joke he had just made actually came true.

Shiina Mahiru gripped the brightly colored game controller tightly in her hand, her eyes gleaming with excitement and focus. As the roar of the car's engine echoed in the room, her body seemed to merge with the racing car in the game; every subtle turn, acceleration, and drift made her move involuntarily.

Whenever the race car makes a sharp turn on the track, she will lean slightly to the side, as if she were really in the cockpit, using all her strength to fight against the invisible centrifugal force; and when the race car is sprinting in a straight line and the sense of speed is overwhelming, she will unconsciously straighten her back and grip the handles tightly, as if she wants to transfer all her power to the race car on the screen.

Unfortunately, all of this was just Su Qing's imagination before she was kicked off the track.

Now, Shiina is truly a little girl. With each turn of the toy car, her body sways dramatically. Because the map has many turns, Shiina's body leans to the left and then to the right. To Su Qing, she looks just like a giant, bouncy toy.

Since this game doesn't require gyroscope controls, and the controller doesn't have a gyroscope sensor, there's only one explanation for Shiina's actions at this moment, right?

That's right, Shiina has reached the point where he and the car are one.

I admire you.

But isn't this a little too cute?

Then, as they made a sharp turn, the roly-poly toy fell onto Su Qing's lap with a thud, and Su Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Haha, actually it's okay even if your body doesn't move, right?"

Despite the laughter and the act of helping her up, Su Qing couldn't help but smile as she helped Shiina up from her lap. Shiina quickly adjusted her posture, though her ears were a little red and her body was trembling uncontrollably, perhaps from shame.

Because of the maneuver he just made, he was left far behind at the finish line. Shiina can only get a respectable third place with tears in his eyes, which is still a respectable result for him.

Seeing that she had lost the match, Shiina turned around and forced herself to suppress her embarrassment.

"Are you looking down on me?"

"No, how could it be?"

"You still say you didn't, but you were laughing so loudly!"

Shiina seemed dissatisfied with Su Qing's answer, and pouted unhappily.

I laughed because...

"Why?"

Because I am kind!

"Because you're cute because you swing back and forth like a pendulum, just like a little kid."

What kind of term is "little kid"? This is the second time Su Qing has referred to herself as a little kid. Does she really look that young?

Shiina Mahiru felt even more ashamed. She felt that Su Qing was teasing her again, so she clenched her fist and gently tapped Su Qing's thigh several times. Remember, several times!

That's enough to show how angry the girl was!

Then, as if unhappy, she turned her head away to look at the TV screen and ignored Su Qing.

Is Su Qing panicking now?

No, even though he grew up in an orphanage, there were actually a lot of little kids in that tiny place. It was common for little boys and girls to cry their eyes out over toys and other things. Many times, when the director and other staff were busy, it was Su Qing who, as the older brother, would comfort them. So Su Qing has a superb ability to comfort people!

Don't be fooled by Shiina's anger at being mocked; she's just feeling down because she lost the match. Kids are easy to coax!

So, he shifted his position, moving closer to Shiina, and slowly reached out his hand, his large, warm palm covering the top of Shiina's head, like a warm spring breeze brushing against tender leaves.

The girl suddenly stiffened, as if she hadn't expected Su Qing to be so close to her, but she quickly felt the warmth from his palm—a feeling of peace and happiness. It was just like, just like the warmth of a mother…

Is it the warmth of a mother? Shiina Mahiru doesn't really understand; it's just that her experience from books makes her know that this is how it can be described.

Mom, it seems like such a distant word. If she could give me this kind of warmth, even just a little bit, wouldn't that be nice?

"You worked really hard, Shiina! You really did a great job!"

It sounds like a clear spring flowing, its gentle murmur carrying the freshness and sweetness of the morning dew in the mountains, softly caressing the heart.

"Really? Did I really try?"

Shiina didn't turn around; her voice trembled slightly.

Su Qing seemed oblivious, his large hand continuing to gently stroke the girl without stopping.

"Of course, Shiina-kun, you really, really tried your best!"

What's with this tone of voice, like you're coaxing a child? Do you think this will stop me from getting upset?

But doing this once in a while seems nice, doesn't it? Well then...

The girl broke free from Su Qing's control and muttered something under her breath.

"Su Qing, you idiot."

Chapter 32: Boring but adorably silly Yui (1)

On this weekend night, Su Qing and Shiina Mahiru drifted off to sleep, separated by a wall.

Time flew by and the next day arrived, which was Monday, the day that working people and students loved the most.

On this day, people often linger in the joy of their holiday, reminiscing about the places they visited or the games they played. Even those who stay home may feel nostalgic for sleeping until noon.

This is especially noticeable in winter.

However, schools in Japan always start classes relatively late, even Soubu High School, which gives most students a good buffer time.

……

"So, you're Yui's mother, here to attend class in place of your daughter?"

Su Qing went to her seat, put down her schoolbag, and looked at the pink-haired girl next to her with a surprised expression.

"Say what? What are you saying?!"

Yui Yuigahama instantly lost her temper and punched Su Qing in the arm in dissatisfaction!

However, I felt light and airy, like I hadn't eaten.

"Ouch, that hurts so much! It seems you can't be Yui's mother. Yui's mother would never be this violent!"

Su Qing pretended to grit her teeth and wailed on the table while clutching her arm.

"Aaaaaah, ((?(//Д//)?))/Are you saying I'm a violent woman?!"

"I don't know, anyway, I'm not one. Whoever hits me is."

"You...you've never even met my mother, how do you know!"

Su Qing's mind went into high-frequency mode for a moment. He thought about many things, including the delicious cookies he ate that day and the delicious dishes that Shiina Mahiru usually made. Finally, as if he had made some important discovery, he nodded seriously.

Delicious food = beautiful inside and out

"I can tell from the taste of your mother's cookies that she must be a gentle, beautiful, and kind person."

What's the meaning???!!!

Could it be that Xiaoqing said that...?

No, no, although Mom is indeed young and beautiful, she's already married!

And, I was actually outdone by my mother?

(sad)

Yui Yuigahama was speechless for a moment, unable to accept this cruel fact, and stood there dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Su Qing shook her head helplessly.

I have a feeling that this silly girl really enjoys overthinking things.

He leaned closer and used the long-lost Finger Flicking Skill to wake her from her reverie, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"Although I don't know what you're thinking, I can assure you that's not the case."

Then, his tone changed, becoming slightly playful.

"So, Ms. Yui, may I ask what other intention you have in dressing up like this today besides making yourself look twenty years older?"

"Is this makeup really, really ugly today?"

Yuigahama Yui wasn't stupid; she could understand what Su Qing was trying to say. Actually, she hadn't initially wanted to wear such heavy makeup, but this kind of makeup seemed to be very popular lately, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to fit into the popular social circle if she didn't learn how to do it.

But she specifically asked her mother before going out today, and since her mother didn't say she looked ugly, she felt confident enough to go out.

Of course, she also had a little ulterior motive; if she dressed up more beautifully, Xiao Qing might praise her.

Seeing the girl's hesitant manner, Su Qing sighed and suddenly realized that besides mathematics, she should also properly (discipline) Yui in other aspects.

Without much thought, Su Qing directly stated her opinion.

"Well, you're already beautiful enough with light makeup or no makeup at all. There's no need to follow trends or wear heavy makeup just for fun. It will only hide your natural charm."

Huhuhu

It's the voice of Steam Girl!

“Really? Really?!”

Su Qing nodded, indicating that he never lied.

"Then I'll go to the bathroom now and remove it, hehe."

Although Su Qing didn't praise her makeup today, this unexpected surprise made her even more excited, and she then jogged away.

Su Qing was about to remind her that class would start in a few minutes and there would be time for the next class, but the girl ran out so fast that Su Qing didn't have time to speak.

But this is the real Yui, isn't it? She's cute even when she's a bit silly and goofy.

"Hey, transfer student, aren't you going a bit too far?"

A familiar voice came from behind, leaving Su Qing somewhat bewildered.

A transfer student? There are other transfer students in this class? I didn't know that.

Arrogance is indeed not good, but it's true that young men and women of this age all have their own pride; not everyone is as mature and composed as I am.

"Don't you know how to talk to people, Su Qing?"

Ah I?

Turning my head, I saw a beautiful girl with blonde hair.

Su Qing naturally recognized the person, after all, he had spent a week observing and recording the names and general social circles of everyone in the class.

Yumiko Miura holds a very high position in the class, at least in terms of tennis skills. She is highly regarded in the class, a top figure in the popular social circle, and has a good relationship with Yui. She is also very close to Hayato Hayama and seems to have some affection for him. Is she in love with him? To be determined.

This is the basic information we have about the person who came, but it seems that the information needs to be updated now.

"Excessive? I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

Su Qing didn't look at her again and continued doing her own thing.

"You made Yui cry and run to the bathroom, didn't you?"

Although Yumiko didn't see the whole thing and was too far away to hear what they were saying, she could see that after Su Qing said something, Yui ran to the toilet so fast right before class started. No matter how you look at it, Su Qing must have said something outrageous.

Whether it was due to emotional excitement or intentional, Miura Yumiko's voice was noticeably louder. The two of them were already very good-looking, attracting a lot of attention, and now that they were making such a commotion, almost the entire class was watching them, except for those who had been playing the game all night and were catching up on sleep.
