Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Ten minutes later, Hachiman made his dazzling entrance.

"Try these handmade cookies." Hachiman took out a few pieces of charcoal and gestured for them to eat.

The clever Yukino frowned slightly, her cute little brows furrowing, but she didn't eat it;

The honest and simple-minded Yui took a small bite with some skepticism;

The harmless Su Qing was starving and ate several pieces.

"How is it?" Hachiman asked confidently.

"Disgusting... This is supposed to be delicious cookies?" Yui realized she had been tricked and covered her mouth in pain.

"Okay, then I'll just throw it away..." Upon hearing this reply, Hachiman's expression turned awkward. He walked away, somewhat dejected.

One second

Two seconds

three seconds

Why is my test result wrong? Shouldn't someone be trying to persuade me to stay at a time like this?

"Yui, your cookies have improved a bit. They taste pretty good, but you didn't get the temperature right." Su Qing, who was practically starving, secretly and openly ate several more cookies.

"Won't this guy get poisoned from eating so much?!" Hachiman thought Su Qing hadn't recognized that it was made by Hachiman, but if Kugo ate it all in one go, wouldn't he lose a friend and be sent to jail by Zhang San for "poisoning and endangering public safety, causing death"?

All I can say is that a life without sewing with my Giegie is destined to be a failure.

"These are cookies made by Yuihama-san, right?" No matter how Yukinoshita looked at them, that was the only conclusion she could draw.

"Huh?! So this is what I made... No wonder it tastes so bad, emmm," Yui said with self-awareness.

The two looked at Hachiman, hoping he would give them a reasonable explanation.

"Ah... actually, this comes from my friend's experience. Boys are simple creatures. As long as you greet him or send him a message, he'll misunderstand and think that you like him or something..."

When Hachiman was speaking, he noticed that Su Qing was looking at him with a pitying gaze.

"Hey, don't look at me like that!"

“I understand. People on the mainland often start with the classic phrase ‘I have a friend.’” Su Qing patted Hachiman’s shoulder like an understanding older brother.

"He really is my friend..." Hachiman stubbornly refused to admit it.

"So what lesson do you want to derive from this sad story?" Yukinoshita looked at Hikigaya with pity.

"I already said we're true friends! Anyway, as long as the cookies are made by the girl with hard work, the boy will be grateful and accept them, then happily eat them all."

Su Qing's hand, which was about to put the cookie into her mouth, suddenly froze.

The other three also noticed this scene and looked at Su Qing, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"..."×3

Silence is the Cambridge of the culinary laboratory.

"I'm just hungry, and I didn't come running around like a puppy..." Su Qing calmly put away the cookies and said seriously.

"Ahem, anyway, just try your best to convey your feelings; the taste is secondary," Hachiman concluded.

"Is that so?" Yui's CPU is fried.

“It’s a der,” Su Qing said, tearing him down.

"You just wanted to use your pathetic, disoriented performance to make us say, 'Actually, this cookie isn't so bad,' right?"

"I think I performed pretty well..." Hachiman scratched his head, wondering if his acting was really that bad.

"That was just a comforting gesture between friends to keep things in order. Also, have a piece of this cookie."

Su Qing shook his head, then took out a piece of charcoal and stuffed it into Hachiman's mouth. Although Hachiman resisted with all his might, Su Qing did not give him any room to fight back.

"How is it?" Su Qing asked, watching Hikigaya swallow.

"If you ask me how it is... I can only say it's so-so. I have to say, it's amazing that you were able to eat so much of this stuff."

Hachiman looked uncomfortable, as if he'd just eaten an Oli Gee.

"So you're saying you're not moved at all right now, right?"

"I'm really hesitant to make a move." Hachiman chose to follow his heart.

"What if you think about it, this cookie is something I specially made for you by improving my cooking skills?" Su Qing ate another small piece and then asked.

"If it were you... it would be quite an achievement to reach this level." Hachiman got goosebumps just thinking about that indescribable dish.

"She'll probably be quite touched, right? And then she'll finish eating it all with tears in her eyes," Hachiman said uncertainly, since no one had ever done anything like that for him before.

"Does the transfer student mean that conveying one's feelings is possible, but with limitations?" Yukinoshita succinctly summarized Su Qing's thoughts.

“Correct answer, reward…” Su Qing snapped her fingers, then, as if pondering something, handed a cookie to Yukinoshita.

"Let's use this as the reward for now."

"No... thank you." Yukinoshita politely declined Kurozumi's offer.

"What do you mean? What do you mean?" Yui was extremely anxious, saying that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 chip was simply not enough. She understood each word they said individually, but why couldn't she understand them when they were put together?

"What I mean is that handmade cookies don't necessarily have to taste good; they just need to be edible. The key is to express your feelings. However, the transmission of feelings needs to be based on a good understanding between the two people. The recipient must be able to understand the effort the giver put in to make the gesture."

Seeing that Yui's eyes were still darting around, Su Qing thought for a moment and then used an analogy.

"For example, I know you are bad at math, and you got 10 points last time, but you got 50 points to make me happy. Even though you still failed, I will be happy because of your effort."

"I...I didn't get a perfect score last time!" Yui said softly.

Is that the key point? ×3

"I think I understand what you mean. So, would you be moved if it were you, Qing?" Yui asked somewhat awkwardly.

It was so obvious, it was practically written all over my face that I was going to give it to you. Hachiman finally realized, wasn't this obviously meant for Su Qing? Speaking of which, isn't it a bit strange to ask the person you're going to give it to for help?

"I don't know, but I probably will. However, I'm a bit hungry right now and don't have the energy to move." Su Qing shrugged and ate another small piece of charcoal.

So, is this transfer student the reincarnation of Tanjiro?

Yukinoshita silently thought that, apart from this, the only thing she could think of was that Su Qing was a reincarnated starving ghost.

"That's too much. Anyway, I understand. Let me try again using my own method. Thank you, Yukinoshita."

"Are you really okay on your own?" Yukino asked with some concern, mainly worried that the culinary lab might get blown up or something.

"It's nothing, thank you so much for today." Yui said with a smile.

"Let her try again on her own. Let's go back to the club first," Su Qing said, glancing at Yui.

……

Inside the Service Club, with some time still remaining before the club's activities ended, the three returned to their respective positions.

"I mean, is that really a good idea?" Yukino asked the other two.

"What do you mean?"

"It was Yuihama-san's request. I think that to improve oneself, one needs to challenge one's limits, which would be better for Yuihama-san as well."

"Effort will not betray yourself, but it will betray your dreams. Most efforts will ultimately fail to achieve their goals, but even if you don't succeed after trying, it can still be a consolation." These were the words of Hachiman Hikigaya.

"That's just self-indulgence, how disgusting," Yukinoshita replied bluntly.

"The very act of bravely charging into areas where you are lacking is itself a form of improvement. Have we forgotten? It's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. We've already put her on the right track; how far she goes is up to her."

"Moreover, even if your efforts don't yield the desired results immediately, they still become valuable life experiences. One day, these seemingly insignificant experiences will bear fruit."

Su Qing was looking at a book called "Snow Country" and spoke to the two of them without looking up.

"Is that so?" Yukinoshita did not deny Su Qing's statement, but turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, as if she was thinking about something.

Meanwhile, Hachiman continued to play dead and remain inactive.

The three of them didn't leave the classroom until the club activity ended.

……

"How long have you been waiting?" Su Qing asked with a smile, looking at Yui who had her hands hidden behind her back.

"I didn't wait, it's just that after I finished, I realized it was almost time for the club activity to end..." Yui said, twirling her fingers around her hair a few times.

"Really? Then walk with me for a while." Su Qing didn't say anything more, but just took a few steps forward.

"Oh, wait for me." Yui wiggled her socks as she walked side by side with Su Qing.

Many times, many things,

You know, I know;

You know I know, and I know you know.

But it's like an instinct etched into human DNA; I still can't help but ask.

"Today's request is because you want to give me cookies, right?"

It's so obvious, it couldn't be more obvious.

"Hmm." Today, Yui seemed to have wasted too much energy cooking, as she didn't speak with her usual enthusiasm.

Su Qing listened but didn't say anything more, and just continued walking with Yui.

After walking for a while, Su Qing suddenly stopped, and Yui, who was beside her, turned around and looked at Su Qing in confusion.

"Actually, I don't really like cookies that much." Su Qing said lightly. Yui Yuigahama thought this was Su Qing's way of politely declining to eat the cookies she made, and her mood instantly plummeted.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Su Qing's face, and Yui could even see a few downy hairs on her face. The golden light made Su Qing look exceptionally gentle at that moment.

“However, I think I’m starting to like it now.” Then, a large hand gently rested on Yui Yuigahama’s head. This was the first time Su Qing had ever stroked a girl’s head. His movements were gentle, as if he were afraid of disturbing her.

【Boom】

"You did a great job today, I'm very happy."

Su Qing said with a warm smile.

[Knock knock]

"And what about the cookies hidden in the back? Aren't you going to give them to me? Are you really going to save them to take back for your Sabre to eat?"

【Dong Dong Dong】

"I...I forgot!" Yui seemed to just realize it, and hurriedly took her hand out from behind her back, handing the cookies, which were wrapped in a nicer bag, to Su Qing.

Then, as if remembering something, he said in a panic.

"I remembered my mom told me to go home early today, so I'm going now!"

"Okay, add it." Su Qing smiled but didn't say anything.

"Mmm, add Xiaoqing!"

Yui blushed as she said goodbye, then ran as fast as she could, disappearing from Su Qing's sight in a flash.

Su Qing opened the bag on the spot. Inside was a heart-shaped cookie, but it didn't look very appealing.

"Speaking of which, I am actually quite hungry." The cookies weren't very big, and Su Qing's mouth was wide open, so she quickly finished them in a few bites.

After finishing the cookies, Su Qing didn't throw them away. Instead, she kept them in her hand, perhaps because the cookies were freshly made and the bag still retained some warmth.

Su Qing happens to like this temperature.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, lightly lifting a few stray hairs from Su Qing's forehead. In the wind, the boy's voice was faintly heard.

But the wind is ultimately just a passerby on the journey, coming quietly and then irrevocably departing for a more distant place.

This time, however, what was brought to those far away was a "thank you" that wasn't quite heard clearly.

……

"I'm back, Mom."

Upon hearing her daughter's voice, Yuihama's mother also came out of the kitchen.

"Welcome back. Why are you so late today? Did you go out with your friends?"

"No, no, we'll talk about it later." Yui quickly took off her little leather shoes, not even bothering to put them away properly, and ran to her room in a flash after changing into indoor shoes, leaving Yui's mother standing there helplessly tidying up for Yui.

"What's wrong with this child? Her face is so red, could it be..."

The door was quickly opened and then quickly closed.
