Anime Crossover: About How I Spoiled an Angel

Therefore, in order to protect something, they began to conceal and deceive.

No one can blame them, nor can anyone praise them.

Even the line between right and wrong has become blurred.

But because of this, they will eventually lose it in fear and anxiety.

In that case, wouldn't it have been better to never have had it in the first place?

But this world keeps moving forward, flowing ceaselessly.

Feeling regretful, unwilling, and in pain.

Yet they always say it's all about letting nature take its course.

gradually.

We can no longer grasp time and beauty, but we still pretend that everything is going well.

But what if, no matter how hard you try, you can't get the answer?

No matter what choice you make, you're destined to leave regrets.

Why not try to unleash the proud lion in your heart?

To roar more fiercely, to struggle more wildly.

The king of the new world never existed.

We are all just rebels against the old world.

The rebels never yield.

Chapter 317 Suffering, Atmosphere, and Usage

?

"Hayato, aren't you leaving?"

"Sorry, you can go now."

The Ministry of Revenue didn't pay much attention to what he heard and quickly left this "place of sorrow".

Ye Shan stood still, watching him leave.

After a long silence, he said to Su Qing with a relieved expression:

"Thank you so much this time, if it weren't for you..."

"Just don't forget the conditions you promised me."

Su Qing interrupted him directly.

"Ah, of course, please rest assured, I will definitely keep my promise."

Ye Shan had no intention of breaking the contract.

He was a smart man and naturally understood why the other party had approached him.

[That's terrifying... Hopefully, once Yukino finds out, you two will be able to manage your relationship better.]

......

Meanwhile, the rest of the Service Department were on their side.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry for keeping this from you for so long!"

Saika immediately bowed to Yukino and Yui.

Even though it wasn't what she wanted, she couldn't help but feel a lot of guilt.

"It's okay, Xiao Cai~ We're all friends! And we know you must have had a reason."

Yui shook her head with a grin, trying to ease Ayaka's inner burden in her own way.

She may not have the talent to come up with a suitable solution, but at least she can do this.

"Yes, she's right. You don't need to worry about it too much; the important thing is what happens next..."

Yukino's reaction was relatively calm, with a faint smile on her face, but she was still somewhat worried.

The most direct cause is probably the rumors circulating within the grade.

She had heard enough, directly or indirectly, since she was a child; she knew it all too well.

The problem is that she is herself, and Caijia is Caijia.

It is wrong to assume that others should suffer the same hardships as you because you have experienced them yourself.

"I'm fine, I'm actually used to it... Besides, I only care about what the people around me think."

Although Caijia's tone was much weaker, it remained firm.

However, the fact that she was able to confess her feelings like this today is itself a great act of courage.

"Although I don't know if I can be of any help, I will do my part, at least to share the burden."

Hikigaya also spoke up at the right time, looking at Ayaka with eyes that said, "Please believe me."

"It's not that I'm being pessimistic, but I'm curious how you plan to share the burden. You can't possibly create other hot topics to divert public attention, can you?"

Su Qing stared at a certain spot with a strange look—Hachiman had been holding Ayaka's hand the whole time.

"...Stop arguing, that's a last resort!"

Hachiman also noticed Su Qing's gaze, his face flushed, but he did not choose to let go, only symbolically shrinking back.

But his little action was completely noticed by the others.

Someone chuckled first, and then everyone else joined in.

"Ugh, you guys are so annoying..."

Hachiman muttered a complaint under his breath, but quickly laughed it off.

"...Creating a hot topic to divert public attention might be a good way. The discussion sparked by Totsuka's gender reversal could even spread to other schools if not handled properly."

The initial level of discussion is likely to reach its peak.

Yukino gently pinched her chin, but quickly dismissed the idea.

"But I think it would be better to think of other solutions."

"Hey, why?"

Hikigaya was stunned.

He had his reasons for doing so.

In fact, no matter what the topic or the level of discussion, it will eventually reach a "freezing point" over time.

It's important to understand that the public's vision and attention are very limited.

According to his plan, as long as other "trending topics" are arranged properly, Caijia's matter will soon be forgotten within a few days.

This is what is called "public relations".

“I understand what you want to do, but time doesn’t allow it. It’s hard for us to find new ‘hot topics’ in a short period of time, isn’t it?”

On the other hand, even if they found her, Totsuka would still be a student at Soubu High until she graduated. Should they ask her to transfer schools?

Yukino's meaning couldn't be clearer.

No matter how much the discussion fades, Caijia is still a student in Class C, and she will see her classmates all the time.

"...You're absolutely right, I really didn't think it through."

Hikigaya fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Applying public relations techniques used on social media to a relatively closed environment like a school can be quite difficult.

Ultimately, it's just a matter of time.

"It's okay, everyone. Actually, compared to my previous school, I think most of the people at Soubu High School are pretty good."

Ayaka smiled easily.

That's the truth; that incident only happened once during my freshman year.

"Even so, we still can't let our guard down. And Xiaocai, have you forgotten? We're the Service Club!"

Yui said with considerable pride.

That's right, the Service Club is a club that lends a helping hand.

But if even its own members can't offer a helping hand, what makes it voluntary?

"You finally got the club name right this time?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino felt a mix of emotions.

Yui, that silly girl, finally realized that this was the Service Club and not the Afternoon Tea and Snack Club.

For some reason, Yukino's gaze suddenly fell on Su Qing.

[If it were you, would you have a solution?]

"If it's something like that, there's no need to worry too much."

Su Qing suddenly spoke, and seeing that everyone's attention had turned to him, he continued:

"If the heat cannot be diverted or reduced in a short period of time, or even if there are other effects afterward, it might be worthwhile to take advantage of this heat."

"Taking advantage of this hype?"

Yukino murmured in confusion, then her pupils contracted as she quickly followed Su Qing's train of thought.

"You mean... to turn the tables and find ways to transform negative comments into positive ones?"

Yukino comes from a prominent family, and even though she doesn't have the same experiences as her older sister Haruno, she still knows a thing or two from what she's heard and seen.

Ultimately, what they are worried about now is the negative comments that will result from the gender reversal of Ayaka, but what if the reality is not as bad as they imagine?

Like two sides of a coin, public opinion on the same issue can vary.

But as long as the voices of "sympathy" far outweigh the foul language, that's enough.

"...If you don't mind people knowing why you're pretending to be a boy."

Su Qing consulted Qi Caijia for his opinion.

"That kind of thing is okay."

Since the parents already have a second child, there's no point in continuing to hide it.

"That makes things much easier. In fact, as long as we get some people who have credibility among the students to step forward and guide the direction of their attitudes, the rest will be easy to solve."

Whether in Japan or on the mainland, wherever there are people, there will be an atmosphere.

While the evil in people's hearts cannot be completely eradicated, we can use the atmosphere to pressure them into concealing their true nature.

Call Su Qing arrogant or whatever.

But since he was the one who planned this whole thing, he naturally had to provide good "after-sales service".

"This person, is it Hayama?"

Yukino noticed Su Qing and Hayama's conversation and asked curiously.

"Ah."

Su Qing did not deny it.

Actually, there was another very important reason for choosing Hayama.

That is, Miura likes Hayama.

Actually, the other person is a good person. You can tell from her attitude towards her friends. At the very least, after learning about Caijia's situation, she won't kick him when he's down. She will most likely stand up and speak out.

Su Qing simply doesn't like gambling on probabilities.

Since Miura likes Hayama, she will definitely do the same thing if Hayama takes the initiative to do something.

At that time, the direction of the atmosphere between both boys and girls will be entirely in their own hands.
