Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

Teruhashi Shinmi felt a little melancholy as she held the puppy doll that Yeyue bought for her before she left.

Yeyue said that she sent it as a reference in order to make an example of a gift for Teruhashi Nobuyuki.

"...Kokomi, do you really like such tasteless things?" Teruhashi Nobuyuki pointed at the doll in Kokomi's arms, his face full of confusion.

How can I like something that has no characteristics at all? If we compare cuteness, of course my own Xinmei is much cuter.

A doll like this would only pale in comparison to Xinmei if placed next to her. It would not be as distinctive as the three-headed hellhound that she was going to give as a gift.

"I like Yeyue's gift very much! My brother is so annoying."

Teruhashi Kokomi immediately defended the gift her friend gave her.

"Huh?" Teruhashi Nobuo was stunned.

Isn't this... a gift that Yeyue gave him as a reference? How did it become a gift for Xinmei?

But looking at Xinmei's appearance, she really seems to like it...

Every gift I gave before was firmly rejected by Xinmei...

He felt itchy.

"Xinmei, let me use this as a reference. I'll buy you the same one next time..."

"I don't want to! It would be different if it wasn't for this meaning!"

The girl protected the doll behind her like a calf and looked at her brother with resistance.

"But this was given to me by Yeyue..." Teruhashi Nobuyuki defended weakly.

"It was clearly a gift for me, how did it become a gift for my brother?"

Teruhashi Kokomi couldn't believe it.

Ah? But——before he left, he said he would give it to himself as a reference——if it’s not for himself, then who is it for?

If I don't keep this doll in mind, how can I know what kind of gift I should give Xinmei next time?

Do you expect me to remember the appearance of this doll forever? No, I only have Xinmei in my eyes, and I forget the appearance of the doll the next day.

Teruhashi Nobuyuki was filled with depression.

To be honest, Yeyue, who had already walked a long way, had never thought about the question "which of the two brothers and sisters should the gift-giving demonstration doll be given to?"

"Xinmei really likes Yeyue..." doll. As he said this, Teruhashi Nobuyuki looked at his sister sourly.

like??!

Teruhashi Shinmi panicked for a moment, then denied it and started to hesitate, "No! Uh, it's not that clear yet..."

They are all girls... How can this be possible... And does Yeyue really like her? So tangled——

"...Yeyue and I are both girls, how could we possibly like something? Besides, we are still young. That..."

Teruhashi Nobuyuki didn't think too deeply about it, but just stayed on the superficial meaning of the words, and continued to think along the lines of his sister's words.

If Yeyue didn't like Xinmei, why would she take the initiative to come up and say hello and talk to them to attract their attention?

What else could be the reason if not that he was attracted by the delicate beauty of his own perfect girl?

Humph - although I reluctantly accepted her, that guy actually took away the three-headed dog of hell that I wanted to give to Xinmei as a token of love. Although I don't want it anymore, I can't let others take it away!

That was my token of love! That damned little girl...hiss—eh?

Eh——? ?

Teruhashi Nobuyuki suddenly had an idea and figured out the key point. His eyes suddenly widened and his mouth was filled with surprise.

He approached the siblings, but he didn't like Xinmei. He took away the token of love that was originally prepared for Xinmei...

Could it be that - she likes me!

Teruhashi Nobuyuki seemed to have discovered a shocking secret and suddenly realized it.

No wonder!

No wonder I always feel confused by her!

No wonder she said so much, just to make me give up the three-headed dog of hell that I gave to Xinmei!

It turns out that everything was premeditated!

It turns out that everything is directed at me!

Scheming woman!

[Teruhashi Nobuo favorability: 90%]

Hiss——In my eyes, there is only Xiaoxinmei, and I love Xiaoxinmei the most.

But - well...

Well, since she is on the same front with me, then, maybe it is not impossible to make some room for her...

Teruhashi Kokomi protected the doll given by Yeyue, and looked at her brother strangely who suddenly blushed and became silent.

Seeing the other person shift his gaze to the doll in her arms, she immediately nervously opened her hands to protect it.

Teruhashi Nobu felt a toothache. Since Yeyue liked him, this gift should obviously be for him!

But seeing how much Kokomi likes it... Teruhashi Nobuyuki suddenly felt a sense of uncertainty and hesitation.

Ah——I am such a sinful man. He shook his head and sighed.

Seeing his silly look, Teruhashi Xinmei became even more defensive towards her brother. She would never hand over the gift given by Yeyue!

Who knows what his brother will do!

Thinking about the gifts given by boys in school, once I took them home, my brother would stare at me and leave me with nothing left...

Her eyes became more determined. Absolutely! I will not give it to my brother!

Teruhashi Nobuyuki felt a little melancholy when he saw his sister's determined gaze.

I am so guilty! I clearly said that I would always love Xinmei and only have eyes for Xinmei! But I attracted the love of Xinmei's friends and made Xinmei feel entangled because of me. I am so guilty!

But Xinmei... He looked at the doll that she protected tightly in her arms.

I am so sorry for letting Xinmei misunderstand me! But this gift was given to me under the guise of Xinmei! How could he bear to let the fragile, innocent and pure Xinmei know this cruel truth?

Find a chance to take it back! After all, it was a token of Yeyue's love. Although I can't reply because I love Xinmei, at least I can return the item to its original owner.

……

"Ah--" Yeyue sneezed several times in a row. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt a chill coming over her.

what is the problem?

"Yue? Are you catching a cold?" Ling walked beside her, took a few steps forward to stand in front of her, and put his hand to test the temperature of her forehead.

"I'm fine." Yeyue smiled, but some doubts also arose in her heart.

Could it be that in addition to the three-headed dog wooden sculpture, I have been entangled by some other unclean thing?

Yes, Yeyue asked for the wood carving because it was indeed a bit weird.

Ah Ling also frowned when she saw it, but this was beyond her field, that is to say, the power attached to the wood sculpture was not within her power system, and as a non-professional, she could not make any follow-up decisions.

I guess I need Kanna's help to find someone to remove the negative things hidden in the three-headed dog wood carving.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk - it would be fine if he just gave his sister a novelty toy, but it actually has something that seems to have evil intentions on it... Teruhashi Nobuyuki, you are really something!

Yeyue sighed and took the worried A Ling's hand, "A Ling, promise me that you will stay away from sister complex and perverts."

Ah Ling looked at her, confused, "Oh——"

"If one day you or Kana brings me a man with a sister complex, I will be desperate." Yeyue felt a headache whenever he imagined such a scene.

A Ling tried hard to understand what Yeyue wanted to express. Does bringing a man back refer to the object?

"I don't want to fall in love." The white-haired girl said seriously, "Love is not good. It affects rational thinking."

"Really? You are really ambitious. You are still young, but you have such awareness. It's amazing."

Yeyue laughed.

"But people change. It's okay if you change your mind when you grow up. Kanna and I will keep a close eye on it for you."

"No love!" Ling was eager to make her mind clear. She would never regret it!

"I have ambition. But what I want to say is not just about whether to fall in love or not. It's about whether or not to fall in love. One day, for any matter, if Rei changes his mind, it doesn't matter if he suddenly regrets it when the time comes. Just tell me and Kanna at any time without any hesitation."

The setting sun was slowly setting, and the residual light was reflected on her face. Ah Ling glanced at her expression, but Yeyue looked normal, with a smile on her lips. There were many suspicious points about the three of them, but it didn't matter, just take one step at a time.

"Don't feel any burden. Even if you are confident one second and suddenly reject all your previous assumptions the next second, it's okay. Just tell us directly and we will work together to find a way to clean up the mess. So, it doesn't matter. Just grow up slowly."
