Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 230

What puzzled him was that almost everyone in the group centered around Hayama looked embarrassed and remained silent.

“Say something! Weren’t you all looking quite interested just now?”

He hissed at the others in annoyance, but only earned their disgust in return.

"You were indeed wrong to do this. Totsuka is our classmate, isn't he? You should apologize to Hachiman properly."

If it were just Hachiman alone, it would be fine, but in order to maintain the balance of this temporary group, he would choose to have both of them take a step back.

But when Ye Shan noticed the intriguing look Su Qing was giving him from behind, he knew that this idea was doomed to fail.

"Should I...apologize to him?"

The man with the rooster-like head took several steps back, muttering incredulously.

What's wrong with Hayama?

In this situation, it would be best for both sides to take a step back.

"You spread rumors but don't want to take responsibility; you get to have it all?"

Su Qing stood beside Hachiman, yawning, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

The man with the rooster-like haircut wanted to argue, but under Su Qing's gaze, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

For an instant.

Even the air seemed to freeze.

The others didn't want to get involved in this mess, and the matter was eventually put to rest with the guy with the mohawk apologizing.

.....

?

If you ask how a scattered group of people can be brought together in a very short time, Hachiman's answer is simple and clear.

They either seek common interests or have a common enemy.

The latter is a tactic he has always used.

People often say, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."

Those who change their allegiance based on the prevailing winds are precisely the so-called "bystanders."

They are easily swayed by the slightest hint of trouble and readily change their stance.

This is the most detestable aspect, yet also the easiest to exploit.

Hachiman only needs to use verbal suggestion to prejudicially label the mohawk-wearing man as a "gossipmonger," and other unrelated people will subconsciously distance themselves from him, or even ostracize him.

No one cared what the other party actually said or who they were talking about.

This is a "rule" that Hachiman gradually mastered after middle school.

It is also the "law" of his new world.

In the past, he always chose to put himself in that position.

Only after becoming friends with Su Qing and joining the Service Department did he realize the truth of his dream:

It turns out that the problem can be solved smoothly even without relying on such methods.

the most important is.

He discovered that his original approach was completely ineffective in saving those who truly needed help.

In the end, nothing changed.

Ayaka....

There's definitely no need for him to do that, right?

......

?

Although the incident involving the rooster-headed man passed by like a gentle breeze, without causing any ripples in the room, Hachiman still felt a sense of oppression and gloom in the air.

At this moment, he sat alone on a soft sofa on the first floor of the hotel, looking lost, as if he were lost in a fog of thoughts.

[How about I sneak out for a walk outside?]

Just as he got up to leave, a sudden, icy touch startled him.

He was startled and a sense of vigilance arose spontaneously. However, after recognizing that the person who came was Su Qing, the tension in his heart receded like a tide.

His gaze swept over the iced coffee in Su Qing's hand, and he suddenly realized that the icy sensation he had felt earlier was from this.

He couldn't help but complain, "It's so cold, and you're still drinking iced drinks? Be careful you don't get diarrhea tonight."

Su Qing chuckled and handed him the coffee: "This is for you."

Hachiman was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly and accepted the coffee without ceremony. Holding the cold coffee in his hand, his initially agitated mood gradually calmed down.

Su Qing deliberately bought iced drinks for me, didn't she?

Hikigaya subtly raised his lips, but quickly followed with a look of pain.

This coffee is way too cold!

"You're not thinking of making the coffee too hot before you drink it, are you?"

Su Qing chuckled and sat down, then spoke sarcastically.

"You don't understand. I'm a professional coffee drinker. I'm the one who provided most of the MAX coffee cans in the school, okay?"

Hachiman retorted defiantly, then opened the can and took a sip, only to be surprised to find that the sweetness of this coffee was about the same as that of his favorite Max brand.

He immediately turned around, surprised:

"This coffee is quite sweet."

"They don't have Max Coffee here, so I just picked one that was reasonably sweet."

Su Qing kept checking to see if Mahiru had sent any messages, but there were none.

Girls do tend to take longer to shower.

“…I see. Thanks.” Hachiman said softly after a moment of silence.

"It's just a bottle of beverage."

Su Qing waved her hand dismissively.

"Um...."

Hachiman nodded silently, saying nothing more, and simply continued drinking his coffee.

He actually wanted to tell Su Qing that he wanted to express his gratitude for much more than just a bottle of beverage.

Including what just happened, his plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly if the other party hadn't stood up for him.

Even if he wanted to sincerely thank her, Su Qing would probably just wave him off nonchalantly and then brush him off with a faint smile, using "friend" as an excuse.

The other person has always been like this since we met.

But if all "friends" are like that, then why did it take him so long to make them?

The chill of the coffee instantly cleared Hachiman's mind, making him feel much more relaxed.

He suddenly understood why Su Qing had taken the iced one.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you make him apologize to Caijia?"

A few minutes later, Su Qing suddenly spoke.

"...I just didn't want Ayaka to know about this."

Hikigaya lowered his gaze.

There must be many other people with similar rooster-motif hairstyles, but it seems that this is all he can do.

It's insignificant; it's just self-satisfaction.

"So what are your thoughts on Caijia?"

Su Qing asked again.

idea?

Doesn't it seem strange for guys to use the word "thoughts" among themselves?

What else could I possibly be thinking besides friends...?

No.

In fact, there are.

Hachiman was filled with inner turmoil and pain, but he finally took a deep breath and said very seriously,

"I'm telling you, but don't laugh at me..."

......

......

Chapter 288 The final puzzle

?

"Yeah, I'm listening."

Su Qing suppressed her smile; Hachiman's answer this time was very important.

"I...sometimes I have some really strange thoughts about Caijia, like I always treat him like a girl, even though I know he's a guy...but I don't have those kinds of thoughts about you..."

"Hey, hey, hey, why the hell are you backing away?"

Hachiman was still building up the atmosphere, trying to organize his thoughts, but Su Qing suddenly became wary and retreated repeatedly.

"Oh...it's okay, it's a bit cold over there, but it's warm here. Please continue."

Su Qing gave a perfunctory explanation.

".....emmm, where was I?"

Hachiman didn't seem to care much. If Su Qing had said something like that to him, he probably would have reacted the same way.

"Now that you've shared your thoughts..."

Su Qing reminded.

"Ah, yes, it's just a thought, I don't know how to put it. You know, because of that loss incident, it's about the person I met at the family restaurant during the midterm exam. I confessed to her before and was rejected, so I have an instinctive resistance to girls."

Even so, I wouldn't be... interested in a guy, would I?

Hikigaya first looked around to see if anyone was there before whispering to Su Qing.

This was a secret he had kept buried in his heart for months, and he had never known how to confide in anyone else.

"And I don't know if I'm misunderstanding, but I feel that Caijia's attitude towards me is obviously different from others, at least different from yours."

Hachiman hesitated for a moment, thinking that he had already said so much.

Since Su Qing wouldn't tell anyone anyway, she might as well vent her feelings.

"Really? What would you think if Ayaka confessed to me, or if I confessed to Ayaka?"

Su Qing suddenly said.

He seemed quite serious based on his expression.

"You...you...you're kidding, right!?"

Hachiman's pupils contracted instantly, and his breath even stopped for a moment.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

No wonder Su Qing hasn't been with Yui Hama yet; it turns out she's got her eye on Ayaka.
