Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

"Are you coming down? So hurry up and pack up so we can go, okay?"

"Ok?"

As soon as Yeyue went downstairs, she saw Kana standing at the entrance holding A Ling's hand and greeting her.

"doing what?"

"Ah la la ~ Today is Yue-chan's school's sports day ~ Yue also forgot about her own school's sports day? Isn't that a bit too much?"

Kanna narrowed her eyes, came over and poked her cheek.

"Ah..." Yeyue glanced at the ceiling and was stunned for a while.

Whenever Kanna is being naughty, she always calls me Yue-chan, and I get goosebumps every time I hear this name.

Today is her school's sports day. Of course she didn't forget, she just didn't want to go.

The elementary school sports meet was held by the family, with parent-child races and other events. It would be too strange for me, Rei, and Kana to go. And who knows what Kana will do at this stage.

She had originally planned to pretend to be sick and ask for leave today...

"Do you really want to go?" Yeyue glanced cautiously at Shenna who was eager to try.

"Hmm~"

Kanna came up behind her with a smile and gently pushed her, "Come on, come on~ Let's go! You'll be late!"

"Come to think of it, how did you know about this? I kept it a secret very well!" Ye Yue was pushed by her gentle yet firm force and took slow steps forward.

"Well, let's not worry about the details. Let's go. Ling is looking forward to it too, right?"

Kanna smiled and squinted her eyes towards the girl at the door.

A Ling, who had been standing at the door watching the two of them, tilted her head. She couldn't figure out what was going on. Anyway, Yeyue and Shenna were always like this, and she had gotten used to it.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Yeyue sighed.

She could go, but she would never participate in a parent-child race with either of them.

"If you go to a sports meet, you have to prepare a lot of things yourself..."

"It has been prepared for a long time."

Shinai interrupted her with a smile.

"...You really have to go..."

"Of course, it always feels like it'll be fun!"

Listening to Shennai's solemn response, Yeyue sighed, "What you think is interesting is definitely not the same as what I think is interesting."

At the campus sports meet, Yeyue did not sign up for a specific event and most of the time sat with Kanna and Rei.

Kusunoko Saiki is with her family. But what about Natsume?

Thinking of that boy who made her worry, Yeyue stood up and prepared to go look for him, but she didn't forget to complain to the system:

"System, you are really useless. Other people's systems can chat and have a lot of functions, but I have to rely on myself."

'...'

The system did not respond as usual, but Yeyue was used to it.

The harassment continued, and the words became sharper: "The system is not allowed to harm the host, but you reduced my lifespan to ten days as soon as you brought me across, and I even need to find a strategy to extend my life... Have you violated the system rules a long time ago? Logically speaking, you should have been dealt with for breach of contract a long time ago."

'...'

'Did you find a loophole, or are the system rules bullshit? Huh? The system?'

[All system behaviors are subject to system guidelines, and there is no breach of contract]

"Is that so? Then is your function defective? Have you been damaged, system? What kind of existence can hurt you? For example, maybe there is a culprit who forced you to take me through time?"

[The location of the conquerable character - Natsume Takashi has been locked, please check the map]

With a bright smile on his face, Yeyue nodded and stopped being aggressive. "My system baby is so cute. Although you are an incomplete existence, you are also great!"

Natsume Takashi hid in a gymnasium that was quite remote in the school.

He clenched his hands and confronted the existence that ordinary people could not see: "Why do you want to pester classmate Yeyue?... Don't play dumb! You have been staring at that person in the dark recently!... Do you want to curse that person? No!..."

The monster seemed to be angry, the wind was howling, and a gloomy atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire gymnasium.

After all, he was just a second-grade elementary school student. Natsume Takashi couldn't help but feel scared, and was willing to stand up for his friend, which was already far better than many people.

"No, I won't let you do that! She can't even see you! Why are you bothering her--!"

He was blown back by the strong wind, with his hands in front of his slightly curled body.

bang——

When Yeyue opened the door, she felt a gust of wind on her face.

What was strange was that the moment she appeared, as if a child had made an error, the strong wind suddenly froze and the venue returned to calm.

She paused, but still ran towards Natsume without hesitation.

There was a strange presence in the venue that she couldn't see.

"Yeyue-san?"

Natsume was somewhat surprised by her appearance.

Yeyue looked back at him, and the system's self-defense props made her relax.

While protecting the boy behind him, he confronted the invisible existence: "Please... don't be angry."

The breeze blew across his face, and it seemed as if a presence in front of him was retreating. Natsume's reaction behind him confirmed this, and his stiff body relaxed slightly.

But even if the monsters here retreated, it would only be temporary. Yeyue wanted to solve the root cause of the problem, "Please wait a moment!"

The eerie breeze stopped, and the dark gymnasium smelled of decayed, old sports equipment.

Natsume behind her couldn't help but grab Yeyue's clothes, ready to pull her away if anything unexpected happened.

"It's okay. I just want to talk to you, Mr. Yokai. May I ask...why, why do you like to pester Natsume so much, Mr. Yokai?"

The stopped breeze froze for a moment and then flowed backwards, like the prelude to the anger of a huge and burly being, and He took a breath.

Classmate Yeyue!

Natsume wanted to just pick her up and run away.

But her feet seemed to be nailed to the floor, facing the air in front of her fearlessly.

In Natsume's eyes, the hideous being expanded little by little, and its terrifying blue face turned red as if it was angry.

"Mr. Youkai! You told Natsume that you couldn't hurt anyone, but it's hard to believe that you could smash all the glass in a corridor but couldn't hurt anyone. Why did you lie?"

Please stop irritating Him!!!

Natsume anxiously grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands, but she didn't move.

"So, Mr. Monster, it's not that you don't have the ability to hurt people, but that you don't want to hurt people, right?"

Natsume was stunned for a moment, and the monster seemed to be stunned as well. The heavy atmosphere eased.

"You're actually very gentle, Mr. Youkai. But, can you please not scare Natsume-kun again? This child is very thoughtful."

Yeyue said this, holding his hand that was clutching her clothes, and looking at him gently with her red eyes.

"If you have anything to say, Mr. Monster, you can come and tell me. Maybe I can...ah, sorry, you are still saying this when I can't see you..."

When it was over, Natsume poked her from behind, and Yeyue realized that the monster had left.

Yeyue just breathed a sigh of relief.

A monster? There is no extraordinary person in her family who can deal with this kind of existence. It will be very troublesome if she is really entangled by it.

"Thank you, classmate Yeyue."

"Ok?"

Yeyue pulled him out and heard the handsome young man say this.

"It's nothing. People who can't see won't be afraid of invisible beings as long as they don't think too much about them. So it's okay."

"..."

The boy seemed to still be bothered by something.

Yeyue chuckled, "This time it was Natsume-kun who wanted to protect me. Although it seems like I helped Natsume-kun again, it doesn't matter. People with special abilities like Natsume-kun will definitely become stronger when they grow up."

Just like Kanna and Rei, they are still young and weak now, but they will become stronger and stronger in the future.

Natsume will be like this too.

"When you grow up, it will be your turn to protect me."

If this is really possible, we can prevent the kind of things that happened in the second round where people were possessed by monsters from happening again.

If possible, it is best to have strong people from their own system standing beside him. Yeyue's own strength must naturally keep up, but most of the time, why should he do things that can be solved by others and by talking?

Yeyue was making plans in her mind.

Natsume Takashi looked at her and nodded silently, "I will."
