Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

On the court, Hinata Shoyo was still nervous and made many mistakes.

However, as a manager, Yeyue could only stand aside with Kiyoko Shimizu, ready to provide support at any time.

"It's okay, everything will be absolutely fine." Kiyoko Shimizu turned her head and whispered to comfort her.

"Yeah, I know, it'll be fine. Just trust them."

Yeyue looked at the arena with burning eyes.

"......Yeah." Kiyoko Shimizu also gave a faint smile.

——[Kiyomizu Kiyoko's favorability: 40]

It was Hinata's turn to serve, and it was match point.

If you make a mistake, the opponent will lose the game.

"Relax Hinata!"

"Yes!" Hinata still looked very nervous.

Yeyue and Shimizu Jiezi stood aside and could only cast comforting glances.

By the way, there are indeed quite a few capture targets on the other side. Becoming the manager of the volleyball club was indeed the right choice...

boom--

eh?

Ye Yue was distracted for a moment, but was brought back to attention by a muffled voice.

It wasn't like the sound of a volleyball hitting the net or the ground.

Ye Yue looked towards the court and saw Hinata Shoyo with a terrified look on his face, while Kageyama Tobio in the front row had his head slightly lowered, and the aura emanating from him was terrifying.

Ah——I hit the back of Kageyama Tobio’s head… It must have hurt…

Kageyama Tobio had a sinister face and a terrifying look in his eyes, and with an astonishing momentum, he approached Hinata Shoyo step by step.

Yeyue twitched the corner of his mouth and looked away, trying to avoid the pleading look from Hinata Shoyang.

I'm sorry, Hinata, there are some situations that I'm not very good at handling. You can handle it yourself.

Don’t read it!

"What's scarier than a serve hitting me in the back of the head?"

"I can't think of it." Hinata Shoyo was so scared that his eyes looked weak.

"Then there's no reason to be nervous. You've already messed up the most terrifying thing." Kageyama Tobio covered the back of his head, his eyes still as scary as before.

Hinata was almost rolling her eyes in fear.

"In that case, hurry up and get back to normal operation, idiot!" Kageyama Tobio roared, and returned to the field with a dissatisfied expression.

"Hey? Are you okay?" Hinata Shoyo, who thought he was definitely going to be beaten, suddenly became cheerful.

"puff--"

"What's wrong? Yeyue?" Kiyomizu Kiyoko asked puzzledly.

"Nothing." Yeyue held back her laughter.

"I was just thinking, after all, Kageyama-kun is actually a gentle and simple child."

Kiyoko Shimizu's expression also relaxed. Looking at her own arena, which had a different atmosphere, she smiled slightly, "Yeah, maybe."

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the west of Aoba Castle.

"Oh--Oikawa, you're back. How's your foot?"

On the second floor viewing platform, a girl cheered, "Oikawa-senpai!"

The tall boy with short brown hair and handsome looks waved to the stage and replied to his coach, "My feet are totally fine now."

It felt like a heavyweight had arrived. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"That is the main general of Aoba Castle West, the setter, Oikawa Toru." Kiyomizu Kiyoko explained to Yeyue in a low voice.

Yeah, I see. Another target to capture.

ordinary?

Yeyue glanced at Oikawa Toru with a strange look, as he was immersed in the cheers and screams of the girls.

The match was almost over. Oikawa Toru, who was called the Great King by Hinata, entered the match.

As soon as he came on the court, he served a sharp jump serve and scored a point directly. The ball hit the railing of the second-floor stand with a clang.

The game progressed little by little, and the final point was scored by a quick attack combination of Hinata Shoyo and Kageyama Tobio.

The referee's whistle sounded, announcing that Karasuno won two rounds and won the game.

The two groups had different expressions. Among the group of unconvinced and unwilling Qingcheng team, Ikawa Toru showed an interested smile.

"whole team!"

"Thanks for the advice!"

"Assemble!" Led by the captain, Karasuno and his team bowed to their opponents and coach to express their gratitude.

Yeyue was also among them.

Hinata Shoyo, who was sweating profusely beside him, made a V sign to himself.

Her smile deepened.

The team took a brief rest on the spot.

Yeyue and Kiyomizu Kiyoko handed water and towels to the contestants.

Peng——

"Feel sorry!"

Hinata Shoyo accidentally dropped the water bottle on the ground and looked at Yeyue in panic, afraid that she would be angry.

Yeyue looked at the water bottle that rolled away and smiled at him kindly, "It's okay, this is made of material that won't break."

She handed him the water she had prepared for herself, "This is for you. I haven't drunk it yet. That one, I'll just pick it up."

"What good luck you have to get the manager's water, or did you do it on purpose?" Tsukishima Hotaru glanced over here and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"No way!" Hinata Shoyo held the girl's water and shouted at him.

Instead of gathering with others, Kunimitsu rested alone and picked up the towel hanging around his neck to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"?" Noticing an unknown object rolling on the ground, he bent down and picked up the water bottle on the ground.

Is it from Karasuno's group?

"Sorry! Thanks for picking it up for me."

Yeyue stopped in front of Guo Jianying.

Karasuno's... manager? A first-year student.

Kunihime's mind read the information about the person in front of him word by word, "You're welcome."

He wiped the sweat from his chin and handed over the water bottle in his hand. His half-open eyes still gave people a sense of lazy ease even when the owner was very tired.

"...Thank you very much." Ye Yue maintained a friendly smile, took the water bottle, and his fingertips touched the boy's warm hand. The boy seemed to be stiff for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"Here you go. This is a recovery sports drink. It is effective in restoring your physical strength after a game." Yeyue pushed the bottle of water towards the boy, and the handsome boy was stunned.

"Thank you for your hard work in the game. It was really exciting! The timing of several spikes was great!"

"Ah...thank you." Guo Jianying accepted the water bottle with some surprise, thought for a moment and said to Yeyue, "Then please stay here for a while."

"Hmm? Yeah, okay."

Taking the towel from Kiyoko Shimizu, Kageyama Tobio, who had just won the game, was in a very happy mood. He looked at Yeyue with a puzzled expression, "What is that guy doing in Qingcheng?"

"Huh?" Tanaka, who was the most strict with his family, moved his ears. Looking in the direction that Kageyama Tobio pointed, he saw the kid with the middle-parted hair from Qingcheng, holding a bag of candy over to her, "Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing to our manager?"

"Uh!"

Yeyue slightly turned sideways, half blocking Guo Jianying, "It's a courtesy."

"Huh? Could it be that the people from Qingcheng are fooling our manager?" Tanaka still had that ferocious expression on his face, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Yeyue.

Sugawara Koji pulled him back.

"Alright! They said it's a courtesy, right? If we have any questions, we can ask Yeyue-san in person later." Sugawara Koji smiled brightly and gently, "After all, he is on our side."

the other side.

Kunihime felt the oppression he was under only became stronger, as if he was carrying several hostile gazes on his shoulders. He was stunned with a lazy look, "Those people...are they okay?"

"Well, it's okay. We are all kind and gentle people. It's just that the way we express ourselves is not right. Kageyama-kun is the same. That's why we are always misunderstood."

I don’t think it’s a misunderstanding… Kunimitsu complained in his heart.

"See you next time then." Yeyue waved at him.

Kunihime pulled the zipper of his jacket to the top to cover half of his pretty face, "Okay, bye."

——Ah, no, doesn’t this way of speaking make people feel that we are a little too familiar with each other?

[Kunimi Ei's favorability: 35%]

Behind him, Yakin Hide, who was looking angry, had already answered. He grabbed his neck and said in a dangerous tone, "When did you become so familiar with the manager? I didn't expect you, who is usually calm and collected, to be quite good at chatting people up!"

"No, no... I just helped pick up the water cup..." Kunimitsu Ying was a little confused.

"Huh?! Picking up a water cup! Have your tricks reached this level?" Yakini Hide roared.

"Hey - has my junior become so powerful? Come on, Ei-chan, grab Karasuno's manager!"

Oikawa Tetsuya joined the battlefield, saying with a face that looked like he deserved a beating but he wasn't afraid of getting beaten.
