Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

The surroundings were still very quiet. I opened the window and saw a thin morning mist, like a veil, covering the surroundings. Early birds were flying around on the poles. The faint sunlight outlined the dawn in a hazy way.

The small basket that Kana sent last night contained a general map of the area, with important buildings like banks and police stations specially marked.

The route to school is also marked in detail, so even if you are not good at finding your way, you are unlikely to make a mistake as long as you walk carefully.

Yeyue changed into the white school uniform of Teikou Junior High School and looked at herself in front of the floor-length mirror.

Her black hair cascades down like a waterfall, her skin is white with a hint of red, and her pair of red eyes, as bright as the stars in the sky, are particularly eye-catching. Her red lips, without any makeup, are plump and moist. Although she is still young, her future beauty can be seen.

"How childish, this familiar face."

Sighing, she pressed the corners of her upturned, slightly red eyes, "Good morning, my 14th year old, long time no see."

It took some time.

She yawned, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, and slowly walked down the stairs.

"Ah - it's really early. It wouldn't matter if I sleep a little longer..."

As soon as I walked down the stairs, I heard Kana's gentle voice.

Yeyue was so scared that he held back his yawn, and all his sleepiness was gone.

When I raised my head, I saw the other person's eyes, which were sparkling with phosphorescence like a lake, but always calm.

There was a white figure standing in front of the dining table. It was Igarashi Rei.

The other party has already had breakfast.

It seems...he was enjoying the meal very much?

Yeyue didn't know why this thought came to her mind.

"Are you two here so early?"

She thought she should be the first one to get up.

“I’m used to it.”

Kanna smiled.

Igarashi Rei still didn't turn around, but Yeyue could notice that she paused obviously when he was talking, and it seemed that she was listening to him carefully.

Just, you don’t like to talk?

Yeyue noticed that the silver-haired girl held the chopsticks with her left hand, maybe she was left-handed.

"Are you preparing breakfast? I'll come and help."

As he spoke, Yeyue was about to step forward.

"It's okay, it's fine now."

The still steaming porridge was brought to the table. Shen Nai curled her lips, stopped Ye Yue from trying to help, and asked her to sit down.

"I thought Yue-san was from China, so I tried a Chinese breakfast. Please try it."

"what……"

Yeyue sat down following Shenna's movements. Facing the other party's concerned eyes, with a bowl of hot porridge in front of him, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Don't you like it? I'm sorry for making unauthorized assumptions and causing you trouble..."

Shen Nai didn't hear Ye Yue's reply, her smile remained unchanged, but the look in her eyes was somewhat apologetic.

Yeyue looked up hurriedly, "No, no, it's just that I haven't tasted the taste of my hometown for a long time. It's been less than a day, but it feels like a long time has passed. Sorry, I lost my composure."

Shen Na didn't say anything, but there was a hint of comfort in her smile.

"I'm stuffed."

Igarashi Rei, who had been eating quietly, stood up.

"I'll clean it up, just leave it there."

Kanna works hard without complaint.

Yeyue blinked. How exactly is the division of labor divided?

"Well, that's troublesome."

Yeyue looked up.

Zero is indeed a rather cold girl, but she seems to be very polite.

When she met Yeyue's eyes, she paused slightly and nodded at Yeyue, who subconsciously nodded in response.

The entrance door behind him was gently closed.

Kanna went to see him off a few steps.

Yeyue drank the mellow porridge, but the only regret was that it lacked the aroma of rice from her motherland.

"Um...does it taste good?"

At some point, Kanna stood beside him, but kept a certain distance.

She bent slightly, keeping her eyes parallel to Yeyue's, and asked gently.

"fine thanks"

"That's great, it's a bento."

"Well, thank you..."

Shenna smiled and turned back to clean the sink.

Yeyue originally wanted to get up early and help out in return for the other person's care yesterday, but she ended up not being able to help, and instead received even more care from the other person.

I sighed in my heart and said nothing more.

"I'm done eating. Is there anything you need to buy when you get back today?"

Fearing that she would be rejected, Ye Yue raised her eyes and added, "I can help bring some when the supermarket has a promotion. It's not a big deal."

"Yes... Then please buy some rice."

Expecting to be rejected, Yeyue breathed a sigh of relief and her shoulders relaxed, "Okay, I'd love to."

"Just buy it according to Yue-san's taste."

Kanna half turned sideways and smiled a very warm smile, even the curve of her smile was perfect and healing.

Yeyue was stunned for a moment, then she retracted her fingertips imperceptibly, "Ah? Oh, yeah, okay."

“Please remember to bring an umbrella.”

……

After Yeyue went out, a pink and white, cute-looking creature appeared on the window.

It has a body shape similar to that of a cat, with two strips of fluffy hair hanging down beside its two pointed ears, like well-combed hair. It looks like a cat but not a cat, and its red eyes are as innocent as a snow rabbit.

On its snow-white back, there was a red ring pattern that emitted a faint red glow. It also had a large furry tail that was almost as big as its slender body.

"That child has potential, too."

"Well, yes."

Kanna cleaned up the remaining food without looking back, only her smile remained perfect.

"What a shame - if I hadn't made a deal with you, I would have really hoped to make a contract with that child as well."

"Yes, it's a pity."

"But if that child took the initiative to become a magical girl, Kanna wouldn't say anything, right? Just like Rei-chan."

"That's right..."

Kanna wiped the kitchen knife clean. The cold blade reflected her perfect and delicate face that looked like she was wearing a mask. Her gentle and graceful smile seemed to never change.

"Then there's no problem~"

Kyubey twitched his ears happily.

"Hehehe——Yes, as long as it does not violate the agreement between you and me, I will not interfere."

As he said this, Kanna threw out a Seed of Sorrow.

Kyubey jumped slightly, opened his mouth, caught the Seed of Sorrow and swallowed it into his stomach.

"Hehehe——"

"what happened?"

Kyubey tilted his head and looked at Kanna who suddenly laughed and asked.

"Nothing, I'm sorry..."

Kanna just covered her lips and chuckled briefly, then quickly recovered.

"I just think that Kyubey looks like a dog like this. Really - very cute..."

As Kanna said this, she curled her slender knuckles and flicked Kyubey's chin.

"Would you like to be my pet?"

Kyubey: "..."
