Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 271

Comics are drawn with a pen, so the cartoonist's name is naturally a pen name.

"Hmm. What do you think of the name 'Tibetan Fox'?"

Su Qing gestured for Mahiru to turn over and said.

"Tibetan fox? That suits you quite well. Did you choose this name because I often say you're cunning?"

Mahiru rolled over and lay on Su Qing's lap, a puzzled look on her face, and rubbed against him.

"That's certainly one of the reasons, but it's not the whole story."

Su Qing kept the girl in suspense, seemingly waiting for her to continue guessing.

"Huh? Tibetan fox... I remember your hometown is Fujian Province on the mainland, right...? That's strange?"

Mahiru frowned, racking her brains for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what other connection there was.

Can you give me a hint?

After a while, the girl decided to use her privileges.

Then she blinked her bright eyes and said in a pitiful tone.

"It can only be said that it is related to you, or more precisely, it is related to your name."

Just after cleaning her ears, Su Qing wiped the spoon clean and put it away. In the end, she was defeated by those charming eyes and voice, and gave them a hint.

But I've already given her the answer.

"My name...?"

Mahiru's brain started working at lightning speed, and fortunately, she was good at biology, so she quickly came up with an idea.

"If I remember correctly, foxes are nocturnal animals, right? If it's related to my name, the only word I can think of is 'day,' so is the Tibetan fox a diurnal species?"

"Our Zhoubao is so smart."

Su Qing habitually offered a compliment, then explained with a smile:

"Almost all foxes in the world are nocturnal. Even those species that are active during the day only choose to hunt during the day under certain special circumstances."

However, among the existing clear evidence, there is one type of fox that is completely diurnal, namely the Tibetan fox.

Diurnal animals need to hunt during the day, so they rely on the "daylight" to survive.

"Day, do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

Mahiru felt inexplicably nervous and subconsciously hugged Su Qing's waist tightly, but her eyes kept looking upwards, where her starlight and her world were.

next moment.

Her incredibly gentle voice flowed like a gentle breeze past Mahiru's ears, bringing the sounds of the whole world.

"This means that Tibetan foxes will gradually disappear without 'daytime,' and so will I...."

"[During the day], I think... I can't live without you anymore..."

Chapter 326 Good Night

?

That same evening.

Yukino's house.

The usually quiet house suddenly felt more like springtime, warm and bright.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and Yukino was sitting on the sofa reading a book. Usually, she would be at her desk in her room at this time.

But not today, because Yui is changing into her pajamas inside right now.

But, can the other person really fit into her clothes?

Yukino suddenly lowered her head, and something inexplicably occurred to her as she looked down.

Speaking of which, the last time she stayed overnight at Yui's house because she was too rushed and unprepared, she was wearing Yui's pajamas.

That size... was indeed quite a challenge for her.

Yukino sighed softly, silently closed the book, and went to the door of the room. Just as she was about to persuade the other person to give up, the door opened with a "creak".

A soft, questioning voice followed:

"Waaah... Xiaoxue, I can't fit into your pajamas anymore. Have I gained weight recently?"

Yukino was speechless. Did this guy really not know or was he pretending not to know?

Sometimes Yui genuinely doesn't realize what's happening, while other times he just wants to tease her.

Girls' friendships are so simple and unpretentious.

"Actually, you can just wear the lining under your coat."

Yukino thought about it and decided not to dwell on it anymore.

"Oh, no need for that. My mom knew I was coming to stay at your house for a couple of days, so she specially packed my pajamas in a bag for me before she left."

Yui said.

"Then why are you wearing mine?"

Yukino almost laughed out of anger and retorted.

"Ah, when girls go to their female friends' houses, it's definitely better to wear their clothes, right? That sounds like being best friends! Isn't that awesome?"

Yui, as always, gave her own reasons.

"No, it just sounds like it would only cause more trouble for the owners."

You made up the whole "best friend" thing, didn't you?

Actually, my sister and I have never swapped clothes.

Furthermore, if a couple's relationship is defined by wearing each other's pajamas, wouldn't that be awkward for couples with significant body size differences?

Yukino crossed her arms and retorted calmly.

Actually, what she said is quite simple when translated.

"Even without those extra actions, our relationship would still be just as good."

"Haha, that's true. Actually, I'm not too sure either. After all, Xiaoxue is the first friend to stay overnight at my house, and it's my first time staying overnight at a friend's house."

Yui wasn't embarrassed by the rebuttal, since she already knew Yukino's personality inside and out.

"the first time?"

Yukino was so surprised that she instinctively cried out.

She thought the lively girl in front of her was already "skilled" at this kind of thing.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Is there a problem with staying overnight at a friend's house for the first time? Xiaoxue, you're probably here too!"

Yui felt a little uncomfortable under Yukino's gaze and quickly asked.

"Hmm... I am like that, but I really didn't expect you to be like that too. I thought you were already used to it."

Yukino gently pinched her chin and said.

"Hey, why is Xiaoxue talking to me like I'm a scumbag?"

Yui said indignantly.

"It's nothing. Hurry up and change into your own pajamas. I'll go get you some bedding."

Yukino gently pushed Yui behind the door, then closed it behind her.

A questioning voice quickly came from behind the door—"So why is that?!"

The black-haired girl leaning against the door had a slight smile on her lips, feeling inexplicably happy.

……

After a while, Yukino came to the room with the bedding and saw that Yui had changed into a cute bunny pajama and was sitting obediently at the desk, staring at a cat doll in her room without moving.

That cat is Xiaobai.

"Is this Xiaobai?"

Yui asked.

"Um... that time, it was a gift from you."

Yukino put down the blankets and followed the other person's gaze to Shiro, her eyes softening.

Actually, it was Su Qing who suggested sending it.

That request really caused quite a misunderstanding.

"Wow, that happened more than a month ago... Time flies. By the way, is this semester about to end?"

Yui's shoulders suddenly trembled slightly, but her voice remained calm.

"That's true, but based on past experience, the holiday is only one week long, isn't it?"

Yukino, oblivious to Yui's odd behavior, responded.

"It's a week off too, Xiaoxue, what are your plans? Do you want to go to the company's annual party or something with me?"

Yui looked up and suddenly invited her.

"I don't have any plans for those few days, but did you invite him?"

Yukino paused for a moment before asking.

"That's not appropriate, you silly Xue."

That's what Yui said.

"I mean...in the past. Why not, when the time was right..."

Yukino doesn't understand what it feels like to be heartbroken.

Loss of appetite?

Chest tightness or pain?

So sad I want to die?

She didn't understand any of this; all she knew was that if she didn't vent, keeping it inside would definitely make her miserable.

If it were her older sister, if it were Su Qing, then the two of them, who possessed what she lacked, would surely be able to accomplish something, right?

Do not……

It was my own idea to do it that was right.

"Hey~ Xiaoxue, do you think I'm brave?"

Yui interrupted Yukino, raising her bright, ruby-like eyes to ask a question.

“Very brave, there’s no doubt about that…”

Yukino felt that, to her, no one in the world was as brave as the girl who stood in front of her that day, blooming like a cherry blossom.

"Thanks……"

The girl's faint laughter was quite cheerful. A few seconds later, she tugged at Yukino's sleeve, her lowered face obscured as she murmured softly.

"But... I'm not that brave. I'm still afraid of cats. I'm still very timid. Timid... and insecure..."

Yukino felt a tug at her heartstrings.

She lowered her eyes, remaining silent and speechless.

He gently stroked the girl's back, as if to comfort her.

—You've been very brave. You're just an ordinary girl.

We are all...
