Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

"Go back soon... Rei..." "Kanna..."

Hearing that person's trivial thoughts, Saiki Kusunoki looked at the girl sitting next to her with black hair and red eyes.

Yeyue’s inner voice has always been like this, incoherent, with only a few vague words that make it difficult to piece together the full picture.

In addition, Yeyue's personality is quite misleading. The superpower who can see other people's favorability found that this girl's favorability towards everyone is between 40% and 60%.

Even if it's the first time I meet someone, I still have this level of favorability.

Perhaps because she has a certain fondness for everyone, is kind, and takes care of others out of her heart, Yeyue has a good reputation in the class. Every time the get out of class is over, she will be surrounded by children.

Today too.

"Do you want to participate in the courage test competition, Yeyue? It's tonight!" "Come on, come on!" "But you have to keep it a secret from the teacher!"

Looking at the chattering children surrounding him, Yeyue felt a little headache.

She wasn't very interested in tests of courage and the most important thing was that this was a world full of all kinds of species, and it was possible that an unknown creature would sneak in at the end of the test of courage.

She cherishes her life very much.

"It's not good to hide it from the teacher..."

"That kind of thing doesn't matter. It's better to say that Yeyue-san is too well-behaved!" "That's right! Don't spoil the fun!"

Having said that, as the class monitor, if the teacher finds out later, I will definitely be the one to be scolded.

"What about the detailed plan?"

"What's the plan?" "It's a courage test!"

It seemed like a proposal that was made on the spur of the moment, and apart from the framework of a test of courage conference, there was no further development.

"Since it's going to be held, let's plan it carefully. For example, how many people will be in each group, how many people will participate, and what the route is..."

"What a hassle!" "Why do you have to act like an adult?"

For your safety! If you don't confirm the number of people, no one will know if a group of people is missing!

Yeyue pursed her lips, "We divided into groups because there are fewer people with friends so there will be a more courageous atmosphere. We count the number of people to make sure no one sneaks away out of fear, otherwise if someone does something like this, we won't know who it is! The reason for planning the route is..."

Why? To ensure that he can always find lost children along the route. However, if he said it out loud, it would definitely arouse their rebellious psychology.

"I see!" "That's right, then everyone write down your names, and you can't regret it after writing them down. Whoever runs away will be called a cowardly kappa for one month!" "Okay!"

The children responded one after another, and Yeyue breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt strange fooling little kids, as long as he achieved his goal, at least they were finally willing to listen to his arrangements.

"Then we'll divide into five groups..."

"With five people, it doesn't feel scary at all!" a child complained.

"Generally speaking, variety shows are performed in groups of two." A girl clapped her hands and suggested.

"Great! Then I want to be in a group with Yamano-kun!" "Then I want to be in a group with..."

The atmosphere was heated and refutation was futile. Yeyue had no choice but to agree and write down each child's grouping in her notebook.

A few children from other classes also joined in, and there were quite a lot of people.

There are 32 children in total. Adding my name, that makes 33 people. The extra me is just... Huh?

The fair little hand held the pen and quickly wrote the four words "Qi Mu Nan Zi" on her notebook.

"So, there are 34 people, I will be in one group with Yeyue." The pink-haired superpowered girl raised her lips slightly, "At least if I'm here, Yueyue can save some trouble."

Yeyue relaxed and said, "That's true. I'll leave it to Nanzi then."

'Um. ’

Yeyue looked emotional, gentle and kind, but Qi Mu Nanzi sensed that her inner emotions were not that rich. In fact, she was calm most of the time.

Is this the so-called hot-on-the-outside-and-cold-on-the-inside type? It's really hard to figure out.

Qi Mu Nanzi watched her being surrounded by children again and silently stepped aside.

齐木楠子看到夜月对各个孩子的好感度一一浮现——“47%”“51%”“50%”“42%”“54%”。

Pretty average.

"Would you like to be in a group with me, Yeyue-chan?" "I also want to be with Yeyue-san..."

"Me? If it's me, Kusunoko will go too. I want to go with Kusunoko this time..."

"What a pity..." "Then Yeyue-chan has to be with me next time!" "It's a deal!"

"Okay."

Perhaps because Saiki Kusunoko was staring at him, the man took the time to glance over and subconsciously smiled.

The moment he met her gaze, the psychic relaxed slightly.

The level of favorability displayed above her head was - "62%".

After school, Yeyue persuaded the others to go back home and asked them to inform their parents of the situation. Only those with their parents' permission could gather at the school for the test of courage.

The sky was not too dark yet, and the setting sun was like blood, casting a red light that looked creepy on the deserted campus.

Yeyue and Qi Mu Nanzi were the first to clear the way on the overgrown weeds and brick-covered path.

The route they chose was a small path that was usually sparsely populated, and the unkempt weeds almost covered the children's calves.

"Nanzi, be careful."

"Yes, I will." Saiki Kusunoko was a little helpless, using her superpowers to clear the road. Compared to wasting time here, she actually wanted to go back and watch TV programs.

Thinking of her brother who became inexplicably excited when he heard that she was going to participate in a test of courage competition before leaving, Qi Mu Nanzi felt a little heavy in her heart.

As for her parents, they were so happy that they burst into tears when they heard that she was willing to take the initiative to participate in class activities for the first time, and they had no intention of stopping her from coming out.

"Yue should just walk behind me."

"It's okay. Are you afraid of bugs, Nanzi? I'm not. I'll lead the way. As for the weeds, I'll leave it to you, Nanzi."

"...Hmm. Please, only those bugs who can't read thoughts at all will never accept it." Saiki Kusunoki's eyelids twitched and she felt uneasy.

The weeds that were cut using super powers were completely rootless, revealing the bare ground. Everything on the ground was clearly visible, and without those creepy little things, Qi Mu Nanzi breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

On the empty rooftop, a blond boy about one or two years older than Yeyue was holding a remote control, holding up a small drone decorated with scary eyeballs, "Go ahead, my masterpiece! Nanzi, I must be the winner this time!"

Yeyue and Qi Mu Nanzi led the way and cleared dangerous places. They were not able to move forward quickly and were soon caught up by the children in pairs behind them.

"Strange, when did the school clean up the grass? It's so boring." "There's no atmosphere anymore!"

It sounds easy to say, Yeyue curled her lips and said, "When I really show you the pile of earthworms, worms, centipedes and caterpillars under the grass, they will definitely scream louder than anyone else."

Hearing her thoughts, Qi Mu Nanzi felt a chill on her back and looked over in shock. Did Ye Yue clean up so many bugs without her knowing?

Yeyue smiled at her awkwardly.

After all, Nan Zi is also afraid of those little creatures, so it’s better not to let Nan Zi know.

"Yeyue! Then we'll go ahead!" The two children walked past them with disappointed looks on their faces.

Yeyue wanted to say something, but Qi Mu Nanzi pulled her clothes and said, "It's okay, I'll watch over them."

"It seems I have no choice but to trouble you."

"It doesn't matter." Anyway, whether she likes it or not, the complicated thoughts of these children will flood into her mind.

After passing through the quiet tree-lined path, the area became a little wider. It was an abandoned, half-demolished gymnasium. The school said they would make use of it and build a new gymnasium in the future. Normally, children are not allowed to come here.

The roof of the gymnasium had been removed, leaving only broken walls and piles of rubble covered with vines, with only a hollow frame swaying in the wind.

A gust of cold wind blew, causing the vines to sway and make a rustling sound. It was particularly conspicuous in the overly quiet night.

"We shouldn't have chosen this route."

"It's not Yue's problem. Yue has already advised against it."

“Well, that being said…”

what--! !

Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard from deep in the woods.

Yeyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran towards the source of the sound. Qi Mu Nanzi paused, then followed with a strange look on his face.

"What's wrong?" She helped up the child who was kneeling on the ground.

There's something! In the woods! Watch them!

She cried non-stop, gasping for breath and speaking incoherent words. The more Yeyue listened, the deeper her frown deepened.

Thinking of the demons, witches, familiars and monsters I encountered in the past... I felt a chill in my heart and subconsciously raised my head to look into the woods. The next moment, my heart jumped into my throat.

I saw a pair of eyes flashing red light staring at my direction without blinking, grinning with sharp white teeth, without making any sound, but Yeyue seemed to hear a strange laughter echoing in her ears.

"Ahh-!"

A child followed Ye Yue's gaze and screamed in fear. The other children participating in the courage test were so frightened by the sudden horror that they fled in all directions.

Yeyue no longer had the leisure to organize them.

"Nanzi! Take good care of..."

"No need," Saiki Kusunoki sighed, and under the effect of her superpowers, all the children fainted. "It's me. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
