Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

After a while, the other party seemed to be taking a break.

[Mahiru]: Have you arrived in Kyoto yet?

She and Su Qing weren't on the same train, after all, they weren't on the same flight.

But it should be arriving soon.

[Qing]: Yes.

[Mahiru]: Our class is almost here too. Um... I'm really looking forward to the free day on the third day!

[Qing]: I'm really looking forward to it too. After all... it'll be the two of us together.

After a few more brief exchanges, the conversation ended because roll call had finished.

Chapter 286 The Wind of the Ancient Temple

?

Class C's first stop was the renowned Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

Sunlight slanted across the line of worshippers, bathing the ancient temple in a warm golden glow.

Su Qing's gaze inadvertently swept to the side and caught the group of Miura and his companions quietly slipping towards a quiet little Buddhist temple not far away. Their movements were so practiced that they were clearly revisiting the place.

Didn't they invite you to come along?

Su Qing cast an inquiring glance at Yui.

Logically speaking, it should be possible.

"Hmm... I'm not going. They said it's a Buddhist temple, and it's pitch black."

I'm a little afraid of the dark, so Yumiko will definitely be with Hayama, and Hina will probably be invited by the Ministry of Revenue.

So it's probably best if I don't go.

After a moment's thought, Yui glanced at Hikigaya and Ayaka, who were chatting and laughing not far away. Her expression faltered, and she said hesitantly:

"It might not be the best way to put it, but I always feel that the way Saika and Hachiman interact isn't like... a normal male-female relationship, right? And Saika really gives me the feeling of being exactly like a girl."

"Hmm? Is there any basis for that?"

Su Qing looked at Yui in surprise. If it was just a feeling, wasn't that a bit too accurate?

"Hahaha... I have no basis for this at all, I'm just making this up. Don't underestimate a girl's intuition, especially when she's in love!"

Yui fiddled with the pink puff, completely unaware of what she had just said.

Only when she noticed Su Qing's interested gaze did she blush and her eyes flicker, no longer looking at him.

He stammered as he explained:

"I mean, I mean falling in love... Kiyomizu-dera Temple's matchmaking shrine is especially famous, and everyone loves to draw love fortune slips there!"

She seemed to have found the perfect excuse, and her words carried more confidence. However, her shy red eyes still dared not meet Su Qing's gaze.

"So you're also asking for a dating visa?"

Su Qing chuckled, not exposing the girl's lie, and then casually asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Yui shook her head firmly. Her cherry-pink hair accessory, like swaying cherry blossoms, looked even more vibrant in the sunlight.

"I used to think about asking for it, since it's quite interesting, isn't it?"

"And now?" Su Qing pressed.

"Now...now I feel that love really can only be achieved by oneself. Even if there really is a matchmaker in the sky to tie us together, it will break if we don't hold on to it, right?"

The girl's resounding voice made Su Qing want to see her face.

Unexpected.

of course.

Apart from a pair of rubies engraved with determination, there was nothing else to see.

at that time.

The melodious sound of the bell at Kiyomizu-dera Temple echoes among the ancient trees, as if telling a story from a thousand years ago.

Su Qing and Yui were not far apart, but they had different thoughts in their hearts.

As gentle as the wind in this ancient temple.

Yet it is also difficult to fathom.

.......

?

The time comes at night.

The first day's itinerary for Class C consisted of Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Nanzen-ji Temple, which were nothing special for Su Qing.

It's because it's late autumn.

The autumn foliage in Kyoto is truly enchanting.

When passing by the [Philosopher's Path] that Yukino mentioned, Su Qing stopped for a while, which was unusual for him.

Actually, he was taking photos, and after a long selection process, he sent Mahiru a photo that he considered to be the best in terms of color and composition.

It's understandable that Mahiru took a while to reply to her message.

After all, you shouldn't use your phone while walking; it's important to be mindful of safety.

[Mahiru]: So beautiful! ...We're here today too, but no matter how I try to take pictures, I can't capture the feeling. I was thinking of coming with you on the third day.

But the photos you took are really beautiful!

Even through the screen, you can feel the girl's beaming smile.

Mahiru was happy, and Su Qing was happy too.

[Qing]: Then I'll teach you how to take the photos step by step.

[Mahiru]: Okay!! I'm going to take a shower now, I'll talk to my boyfriend later.

Su Qing couldn't help but laugh after seeing the message.

Is this considered a girlfriend informing her of her whereabouts?

After closing her phone, Su Qing had nothing else to do.

The hotel for the school trip was an eight-person room, without beds.

Su Qing wasn't used to sleeping with the bedding laid directly on the floor.

I don't know if it's because dinner wasn't made in the afternoon.

"Strange... isn't Caijia with us?"

Suddenly, Hachiman's puzzled murmur came from beside him, his face full of disappointment.

I didn't take a bath with him just now.

Although he wasn't really looking forward to it that much...

Actually, I was really looking forward to the explosion!

So annoying.

Hikigaya's frustration was practically written all over his face.

"Maybe you're worried that you'll do something weird if we're together?"

Su Qing's bedding was next to Hachiman's, in the very edge. Seeing him so distressed, she couldn't help but tease him.

"What do you mean by 'strange things'? We're all men, what can I possibly do?"

"Hikigaya said angrily."

A night without spending time with Ayaka is destined to be a failed night!

School trips are really terrible, aren't they?

Because of the disillusionment, the "dark" part of Hachiman's heart began to grow again.

inside the room.

A boy suddenly brought up this topic. Hachiman couldn't remember his name, but he really disliked his mohawk.

"Don't you guys find it strange? I've been in the same class as Totsuka since our freshman year, and I've never seen him go into the men's restroom."

ha?

So what? He invited Caijia to go with him, but she didn't agree!

People nearby quickly chimed in, but Hachiman didn't pay them any mind.

At this moment, the man with the rooster comb said mysteriously, "But I have some inside information, would you like to hear it?"

Logically speaking, boys shouldn't be interested in this kind of thing.

However, staying in the room was indeed a bit boring, so someone gestured for him to continue.

"Ahem... Some people say that Totsuka is actually a woman, but she has to disguise herself as a man for certain reasons!"

The man with the rooster-like hair was speaking excitedly, but not many people were willing to pay attention to him.

This included several members of Hayama's small group.

"Isn't this news explosive?"

The man with the rooster-like hair scratched his face in frustration.

"Anyone who knows Totsuka would think the same way, right? What kind of gossip is this...?"

Someone rolled their eyes at him and said irritably.

This made the man with the mohawk feel embarrassed, so he immediately changed his tune:

"Uh, actually, my inside scoop is that he's actually a third gender! Neither male nor female. I've asked around, and it seems he's staying alone in the hotel next door, not with anyone from our class!"

"Hey, don't you think it's incredibly boring to say a lie that's obviously made up on the spot? Or do you think everyone is like you, someone who enjoys gossiping behind people's backs?"

A cold voice suddenly came.

The man with the rooster-like hair looked over at the sound, but the cold glint in those dead fish eyes forced him to suppress his anger.

Is this still the same Hachiman Hikigaya?

Chapter 287 Hachiman's Answer

?

"Hey, Hachiman, what do you mean by that? I already said it was just a rumor, why are you taking it so seriously? Besides, I wasn't talking about you..."

He's just a paper tiger...

He's just a paper tiger...

The man with the rooster-like hair trembled, yet he clung tightly to his pitiful pride, refusing to let go.

then.

He kept reassuring himself, while maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface, and said.

After saying that, he looked at the other boys, trying to gain their understanding.

What a joke! That's Hikigaya, a marginal figure in the class. Even if I'm in the wrong, I can easily get verbal support, right?
