Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Page 87

Yukino took the water, sipped it a few times, then put it aside, closed her eyes, and began to try to recover as much strength as possible.

Meanwhile, Hachiman was also enjoying Saika's care.

"Hachiman... it's okay if you lose, don't force yourself."

As Ayaka wiped Hikigaya's sweat, she said with concern.

"Well... don't worry, I'll definitely protect the court."

Because Ayaka was so close, he could even smell her faint body fragrance... It was definitely body fragrance, right? Speaking of which, why would a man have body fragrance?

"Yes! I believe you, Hachiman."

After hearing this, Caijia didn't say anything more, but responded softly and then gently wiped it again.

"What's the situation now?"

Just then, Su Qing, who had been missing for a long time, finally returned after buying candy.

Chapter 113 Miura: We're Going to Win Again

"Xiao Qing, you're back!"

Upon seeing Su Qing return, Yui put down what she was doing and excitedly ran towards him.

Although the sprain had been treated by Yukinoshita, it still had an effect, so it still looked a bit awkward to Su Qing.

"Hmm, is your foot injured?"

Noticing Yui's strange walking posture and the bandage on her foot, Su Qing asked.

"Hahaha... I accidentally fell down while playing ball~"

Yui stuck out her tongue and explained playfully.

Seeing that Yui could still breathe and speak, Su Qing was relieved and didn't pay much attention. Instead, she turned her gaze to Miura and Hayama's rest area, lost in thought.

It seems... I haven't arrived too late.

"Xiaoqing, listen to me, the truth is..."

Perhaps because Su Qing was too excited to return, or perhaps to make it easier to explain, Yui was making up gestures as she told Su Qing the whole story.

"That's...that's how it is..."

After going through the whole process, Yui was also feeling a bit tired, and her breathing became rapid as she took small, shallow breaths.

"So... if Miura and the others lose, they leave, but if they win, they can use the tennis court together?"

After hearing Yui's explanation, it was actually roughly the same as Su Qing's plan. However, he did not expect that because of his absence, the bet on this match would turn out like this.

"Uh...that's right."

Hikigaya sensed that Su Qing's tone was a bit strange, and her voice sounded weaker.

"That's right. After all this fuss, it turns out the other side doesn't have to take any risks in this match, while we won't get anything even if we win."

Su Qing said irritably.

"You can't say that. Look... if we win, at least we'll have exclusive access to the tennis court..."

Hachiman tried to explain, but Su Qing didn't give him the chance:

"Didn't you consider that the right to use the tennis court originally belonged to us?"

"This one……"

Actually, Hikigaya said it from the beginning, but unfortunately Miura was just like a thug.

"Never mind, it's not your fault. After all, that's just how Miura-san is."

Su Qing wasn't really blaming Hachiman; the choice Hachiman made at that time was actually the optimal solution...

As for violent expulsion? That's just the worst approach.

And ultimately, if I hadn't left...

After all this time, is it still impossible to change the old habit of not being able to stand the sight of blood...?

Su Qing sighed softly, noticing that Yukinoshita on the chair looked visibly exhausted, and asked:

"I'll be replacing Hachiman in a bit. By the way, do you still have the energy to stand on the field?"

"What's the meaning……?"

"You didn't deny it... so that means it's okay."

Yukinoshita:?

Does Su Qing mean he's going to fight two people at once?

is it possible?

Although Su Qing's tennis skills had begun to improve during their practice sessions, Yukinoshita had to admit that even disregarding physical fitness, Su Qing was technically superior to her. But playing against two opponents...

Not to mention that he had just learned from Yui that Miura used to be a prefectural-level tennis player.

But apart from this explanation, there is no other more reasonable explanation...

After understanding the general situation, all that remained for Su Qing was to negotiate with Hayama and Miura...

"What, you've finally decided to show up?"

In the rest area between Miura and Hayama, the former stopped drinking his water as soon as he saw Su Qing.

"Why are you talking as if you came here specifically to see me?"

Miura's hostile and wary demeanor was exactly what Su Qing needed.

"Tsk, stop being so presumptuous."

Miura would never admit that it was Su Qing who called Hachiman and the others to play tennis in the afternoon, and that she had overheard it by chance and that she had specifically suggested to Hayama and the others that they go for a walk near the tennis courts.

Although she never intended to go back on the bet from last time, she always felt resentful whenever she thought about it, so she wanted to take this opportunity with tennis to get her revenge.

However, she didn't actually want anything from Su Qing; she just wanted to win back what she had gained.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Su Qing wasn't there when I arrived at the tennis court; he only showed up now.

"You're not going to replace Hachiman, are you?"

"Miura, you're pretty smart. You knew it without me saying anything."

Su Qing sighed, but Miura seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in Su Qing's words, a subtle smile playing on his lips instead:

"What a joke! First it was Yukino, and now it's you again. This isn't how you deal with a series of matches."

"Hmm...that makes sense, but I heard from Hachiman and Yui that there's no rule against using a series of matches, right?"

Su Qing lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then raised her head again, revealing a beautiful smile.

This guy actually has a pretty good smile... it's just a shame he has such an annoying mouth.

Miura paused briefly, then quickly regained his senses:

"You...! Fine, I'll let you fight in shifts, but I hope that no one will replace Yukinoshita later on."

"Don't worry, it won't happen. But before that, how about we adjust the betting odds for the match?"

The mere mention of bets triggered a stress response in Miura, who instantly became alert:

What kind of scheme are you planning?

"Relax. If you win, I'll owe you a favor and can do you a favor or fulfill a reasonable request."

Similarly, if we win, you only need to do one thing for me. Don't worry, it's nothing difficult.

Su Qing looked at Miura with a smile, like a seasoned hunter who had carefully set a trap and was just waiting for his prey to fall into it.

"What is it? I need to know first."

Having learned his lesson last time, Miura was clearly much more shrewd.

"I heard you're quite familiar with those retired seniors from the tennis club? I need your help to get in touch with them."

"That's not difficult... You want to save that utterly rotten tennis club? You've really got a good plan, but why should I agree?"

Miura also briefly joined the tennis club for a period of time, but after his seniors retired, he saw the current members gradually giving up, and after meeting Hayama, he eventually chose to leave the tennis club.

"What, you're too scared to bet with me again after losing last time?"

"...Provocation won't work on me, and besides, you started by using a war of attrition, which isn't fair, is it?"

"It's fair..."

Times have changed. Miura, a former prefectural-level tennis player, is now lecturing a group of amateurs about fairness... sigh...

"How about this, if you can win just one game in this last round, you'll win, okay?"

Su Qing pretended to think for a while before finally hesitatingly proposing this plan.

"Huh? Who are you looking down on!"

In Miura's view, Su Qing's suggestion was not only courting death, but also a blatant insult to her. She had won awards in county-level competitions before, so when had she ever needed the other party to give way to her?

"You've already conceded so much, and you still don't dare to agree? Then there's nothing more to say."

Seeing that the time was right, Su Qing turned around and pretended to leave. Soon after, Miura's angry voice came from behind:

"Fine! You said it yourself, no one is allowed to go back on their word, and don't blame us if you lose!"

"Then it's settled."

The bait was finally taken, and Su Qing turned around and gave Miura a bright smile, but to the latter, it sent a chill down his spine.

No, Su Qing should be the one who fell for it... She finally managed to catch this guy in an area he was good at, and he still dared to change the bet. So she can't be blamed for that.

This time, we're guaranteed to win!

Chapter 114 The Post-Match and the So-Called Farewell

"Do you know what you're doing?"

After hearing about the negotiations between Su Qing and Miura, Yukinoshita looked almost incredulous.

You know, Yui just explained it. Su Qing couldn't possibly not know that she can't perform at her normal level right now. Under such circumstances, how could she possibly win a tennis match without losing a single game, and not even in a 1v1 situation, but in a 1v2 situation?

"Even if we lose, it's not a complete loss, is it?"

Su Qing didn't explain much, just said casually.

"Go, Xiaoqing!"

Upon hearing Yui's words, Yukinoshita looked at her helplessly.

"You agree with his approach?"

"Eh... I don't know."

Yui paused for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly:

"But Xiaoxue, don't you think this is super cool!"

After saying that, Yui excitedly made a strange gesture.

My friend... seems to have a serious problem.

Looking at Yui's silly expression, Yukinoshita felt a headache coming on:

"Do you know what it means to win against Miura without losing a single game?"

"I... I know it's difficult, but I believe Xiaoqing won't fight a battle unprepared!"

Yui explained with a grin, and Hachiman nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, when has Su Qing ever suffered a loss? He got first place in the last joint exam without saying a word."

Hachiman was clearly so engrossed in Saika's sweet embrace that he went mad, actually bringing up this matter in front of Yukinoshita, the former number one... Although the other woman didn't seem to care, the old Hachiman wouldn't have dared to be so outspoken!

Su Qing sighed that times had really changed, even Yui knew how to use allusions from mainland China;

A moment later, he remarked on the changes in Hachiman's village, giving off the impression of an old father who was deeply worried about his children.

"We have no choice but to go for it."
