Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

"Hand out."

"okay."

Yui nodded obediently, then stretched out her two little hands.

Yukino knew without even thinking what Su Qing was going to do.

With a few presses, droplets of water remained on the white, jade-like hand.

"Wipe it yourself."

Su Qing handed Yui a pack of tissues and said.

"You're not going to help me clean up the mess Xiaoqing made?"

Instead of taking it immediately, Yui questioned him with a self-righteous air.

"Say it again?"

Su Qing rolled her eyes at Yui and said irritably.

"So stingy, so stingy."

Yui playfully stuck out her tongue, wiping her hands as she muttered, "Just kidding, I'm not really going to ask you to help me."

"This paper...could it also be alcohol-disinfected paper?"

Yukino, who had witnessed the whole thing from the sidelines, suddenly felt that she was superfluous.

"Why would you think that? Your hands have already been disinfected, so you can just use regular toilet paper, right?"

Su Qing glanced at Yukino in surprise, seemingly not expecting her to ask such a question.

"Yes, it's just ordinary paper."

Yui echoed this sentiment.

Hear the words.

Yukino unconsciously looked away, her face flushing slightly.

These two guys...

[Does he think I'm stupid?]

Are you coming too?

Su Qing glanced at the alcohol in her hand, then at Yukino, and suddenly said.

"I...I don't need it..."

Yukino shook her head like a rattle-drum, then, to ease the awkwardness, she gathered her hair up and glanced at Su Qing out of the corner of her eye:

"I think you should just throw it away and then go to a crowded place to pray for your fortune again..."

"No need, I only tried it because the shrine maiden said she was interested in 'self'."

Su Qing refused.

Yui tilted her head at that moment and asked:

"But I just don't feel like this is a good idea?"

"What's wrong?"

Yukino frowned and asked in return.

Although it may seem strange to ask for a second fortune stick, many people do it this way.

Everyone is just hoping for good luck and happiness.

"I can't quite figure out what's wrong with it, but..."

Yui pursed her lips, then her mind raced, and she reached out and took the "robbery" from Su Qing's hand.

Then, with the two of them looking dumbfounded, they quickly linked "robbery" and her "good fortune" together.

After completing all this, she finally raised her bright eyes, a radiant smile spreading across her lips.

"Compared to just throwing it away, isn't this a better way to do it?"

What is the significance of doing this?

Su Qing's lips twitched, and after noticing that Yukino had the same expression as her, she couldn't help but ask.

"Eh?"

Yui said in a tone that suggested, "Are you an idiot?", then, with her hands on her hips, she said matter-of-factly,

"Didn't that witch say her family's fortune was very accurate?!"

If this is fake, then we have nothing to lose.

But assuming it's true, if my "great luck" and your fortune are tied together, wouldn't they cancel each other out?

What if it can't be offset?

Su Qing was amused by Yui's amazing actions. What was wrong with this girl's thought process?

After laughing for a while, he finally asked.

"How can it not be offset? I'm 'Great Fortune'! The best luck ever! And there are two more characters than one! It can definitely be offset."

Yui patted her chest and solemnly assured him.

"Is this how you use the math I taught you?"

Su Qing was speechless and asked in an incredulous tone.

The dazed and clueless Yui always manages to redefine his understanding of her.

If a gentle girl were a book, Su Qing might have only just turned the first page.

.......

Or perhaps, he was afraid to scroll down any further.

"Huh? Isn't 2 greater than 1?! Don't take advantage of me because I'm bad at math, Xiaoxue is still here!"

Yui shook her head like a puppy, then grabbed Yukino's arm.

It seems they want to form a united front with the other side to fight against Su Qing, the great demon king!

"Who bullied you...?"

Seeing that both women were turning their gazes to him, Su Qing awkwardly touched his nose.

"Are you sure you want to be tied together like this?"

Yukino glanced at Yui helplessly, but did not resist.

Winter is coming soon, so it's warmer to squeeze in together.

"What taboo is being broken by doing this?"

Su Qing noticed Yukino's meaning and frowned.

Although he has never believed in these things, that is a different matter from respect.

"As for taboos... well, it's not really taboo. It's just that almost no one would associate their own fortune with someone else's. It's a kind of superstition, since it's something that's quite personal."

Upon hearing Su Qing's words, Yukino's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she explained softly.

Her voice was inexplicably gentle and pleasant to hear in the chilly morning air.

"It's alright, it's alright! The most important thing is to neutralize this bad luck, isn't it?"

Oh, by the way, this is what 'Ji' just told me.

Yui winked playfully, her bright eyes filled with sincerity and innocence.

It seems that Su Qing's previous teaching was effective; at the very least, her ability to apply what she learned on the spot has improved.

Su Qing wanted to say something more, but Yui noticed and immediately stopped her.

"When did Xiaoqing become so fussy? I, Daji, don't even mind!"

"If you don't mind, then I don't care."

After thinking for a while, Su Qing felt that it was no big deal, so she simply let the other person do as they pleased.

Upon seeing this, Yui immediately smiled and secretly gave a childish "V" sign to Yuki.

He was somewhat pleased with himself.

?

Because they needed to hang the divination slips, the three of them randomly found a less crowded spot nearby.

After queuing for a while, it was soon their turn.

"Xiao Qing, hang it up. I heard that hanging it higher will have a better effect."

Yui compared her height to the hanging rope and said somewhat dejectedly.

Su Qing nodded, took the paper binding the two together, and was about to hang it up when she saw Yukino's hesitant expression and asked:

"Do you want me to hang it up for you in a bit?"

"Eh...? That's not what I meant..."

Yukino's expression clearly flustered for a moment, and her pretty face turned a little redder than before, probably because of the lighting.

"Shall we tie mine...together with you all?"

After organizing her thoughts, Yukino spoke quite solemnly.

"I'm not Daikichi, and didn't you just say that this is a personal thing and not suitable to be tied together?"

It's not that there are none at all, but rather that there are very few.

What are three sheets of paper worth now?

Is it extremely rare?

Su Qing felt something was off and instinctively wanted to refuse, but Yukino's attitude was unusually firm.

"Anyway, I didn't believe in these kinds of things before. I only asked for one to keep as a memento."

"Then what are you going to do...?"

"Now that we've met, don't you think it's quite a coincidence? Besides, what if this thing really works, and her good fortune isn't enough to offset your 'calamity,' and she ends up with bad luck instead?"

As Yukino spoke, she grabbed Yui, who was standing next to her looking completely bewildered.

"Xiaoxue, is that what you think?"

Yui immediately looked at Yukino with a face full of emotion, making the latter a little embarrassed.

"Well, after all, we're friends, and we often spend time together."

If your luck turns bad, it'll drag me down with it, won't it?

Yukino gripped her left arm with her right hand, only daring to turn her face to the two of them from the side.

Her voice was a little soft, though both of them could hear it, but it was less of an explanation and more of a way of convincing herself.

"Oh, in girls' dating circles, this phrase means 'disdain'!"

Yui feigned displeasure and said.

Nevertheless, Su Qing still thought that her angry appearance really resembled that of a little squirrel.

Um....

It's that little animal that died of anger because its food for winter was stolen.

Fortunately, he never stole other people's food reserves, Su Qing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yukino probably thought of a similar or identical metaphor, and when she saw Yui looking so adorable, she burst out laughing.

I remember the other person saying something similar not long after we first met.

However, it's clear that Yukino has grown up.

She flicked a strand of hair and said in a relaxed and nonchalant tone:

"Really? But in my social circle, this is a way of expressing friendliness."
