Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

"Yeyue-san is the manager of the volleyball club?"

"Yes."

Yeyue was chatting with classmates.

"Did you play against a strong school yesterday and win?"

"I heard that the captain of the opposing school is very handsome. Has Yeyue-san seen him?"

"Well - there was indeed a situation where some girls cheered all of a sudden." She thought about it and thought that the other party should be referring to the guy named Oikawa Toru, right?

"Hey hey hey! Did you see the face?!"

"Sorry, I didn't notice." She smiled apologetically.

"Pity!"

"Because everyone on the court is so handsome! There's no way to tell who is the most handsome one. I can't recognize them at all." Ye Yue supported his face with one hand and poured out nice words without asking for anything in return.

"Hey - so which contestant does Yeyue-chan like the most? The one from Qingcheng or our Wuye? Is it really the one at the back table?" A girl teased and glanced at the person behind her.

"Wow! That one is a bit scary! Although he's tall and good-looking, his temper is really something to keep people away from!"

The girls joked.

"But it's a special case for Yozuki-chan, right?"

"I know, I know! I saw him smiling when get out of class was over earlier! It was a little scary though."

"Ahahaha - well," Yeyue laughed and quickly changed the subject, "Everyone in the volleyball club is very nice, right? Sawamura-senpai and Sugawara-senpai are both very gentle and reliable. Although Tanaka-senpai looks a little fierce, he is actually very gentle and reliable!"

"Well - but there are indeed other handsome ones!" The girls laughed and followed Yeyue's words, ending the topic calmly.

Although everyone in the class did spread rumors of romance between the two, they actually didn't feel anything after spending time with Yeyue.

In other words, it should be said that Yeyue is kind to everyone, without any particular favoritism, but if someone is alone, she will take that person with her. That is pure kindness without any purpose.

Perhaps that's why they like to gather around her.

"That Tsukishima-san from the class next door! He's said to be nearly 1.9 meters tall! And he's not bad looking, either!"

"But! I heard there's a very scary person in the volleyball club. Does Yeyue-chan know about it?"

"Scary person? You don't mean Tanaka?"

The most vicious person in the volleyball club is probably Tanaka.

"No! He's from the third grade. I heard he's already an adult and has been held back for five years!"

"Huh?" Yeyue's mouth twitched. How could there be such a rumor? It's too outrageous, right?

The girl who was gossiping was serious, with a hint of fear on her face, and continued,

"They used the students from Beijing High School as their subordinates, provoked them into fights, and did illegal things on the streets!"

"I think it's just a rumor! Maybe there's some misunderstanding."

"Anyway - Yeyue-san, be careful!"

"That's right." Ye Yue chuckled, "I know! Don't worry about me too much..."

Even if she met such a person, she believed that she could not resist him immediately. She could just add a dozen or twenty points to him and beat him up directly.

Moreover, Yeyue is not a brute force type, she is good at using clever force. Using the weak to defeat the strong is exactly what she is good at.

"Our manager is as popular as ever. Huh? Is he enjoying the feeling of being surrounded?"

A bad tone and a lazy voice came from the back door of the classroom.

The tall, thin, blond boy walked towards this side at a leisurely pace.

"Is that guy from the Yozuki-san volleyball club?"

"That's Tsukishima-kun, right?"

"Are you looking for something from Yeyue-san?"

The girls around me were chattering and huddled together, showing no intention of moving away.

A girl turned her head quietly to ask, "Is Yeyue-san having a problem with this... Tsukishima-san? His tone is very bad! Do you want us to chase him away?"

Yeyue was stunned for a moment, then a big bright smile appeared on her face.

"No, you're looking for me because of something about the volleyball club. I'll take care of it."

"In that case, call us if you need anything!"

The girls then pushed and shoved and left the area around Yeyue.

At this time, Tsukishima Hotaru, who had a nasty smile on her face, stared expressionlessly at her manager who had left her aside and was chatting with a bunch of girls.

Tsukishima's expressionless face was so suffocating under the shadow cast by his tall figure.

"Hmm--" Kageyama Tobio, who was sleeping in the back seat, raised his head, glanced around, and spotted Tsukishima Hotaru at a glance.

"Huh, it turns out you're here. I was wondering why it was suddenly so quiet."

"I'm sorry, but you're all very welcoming and nice people. Next time we want to chat we'll stay away from a sleeping Kageyama-kun."

"Oh!" Kageyama Tobio yawned and responded.

"I'm sorry to interrupt the conversation between the young couple... But, is it possible that our manager hates me?"

Tsukishima pulled up an inexplicable smile, and there was a sharp starlight flashing in his eyes.

“Tsukishima you—!”

"I'm sorry, Tsukishima-kun, I'm sorry to have wasted your time when I come to deliver something." With an apologetic smile on his face, he stretched out one hand to block Kageyama Tobio who was about to spit.

"But I don't hate Tsukishima-kun or the way he speaks. I will pay attention next time and will never ignore Tsukishima-kun again. Please believe me."

Under the furrowed brows, the golden eyes swept across Yeyue's serious expression, "Disgusting."

"Tsukishima! You are such a nasty guy!" Kageyama Tobio was the first to speak fiercely, and now Yeyue couldn't stop him.

"Hey! Yeyue, do you really think that guy is good?" Kageyama Tobio cursed and turned to ask Yeyue's opinion.

Yeyue felt helpless.

To her, everyone is a good person. Everyone is an angel who lets her continue to live. What can she say?

"Tsukishima-kun means no harm! He just expresses himself differently from us."

Yeyue wants to try harder.

"Could you please stop speculating on my thoughts? This behavior is disgusting, right?" Out of the blue, the expressionless blond boy uttered another cold remark.

"Aha——" Ye Yue didn't know how to respond for a moment, and could only smile bitterly.

“…Tsukishima, if you’re fine, just go back to your class! Don’t get in the way here!” Kageyama Tobio pouted, looking unhappy.

In the volleyball club, he and Tsukishima Hotaru are the ones who get along the most.

"Oh my, my, my - I'm sorry to interrupt the time when the manager and the king are loving each other. I brought that thing -"

"——I'll take my leave now."

Tsukishima Hotaru left after saying this, and when she looked again, the slender figure had disappeared behind the classroom door.

"Ha——" Yeyue lowered her eyes. It seemed that Tsukishima Hotaru was targeting her, but she had always been like this.

When it comes to targeting, Kageyama Tobio and Hinata Shoyo have a lot of experience.

[Tsukishima Hotaru Favorability: 30%]

This favorability shows that Tsukishima Hotaru doesn't actually hate herself.

As a tsundere and sarcastic contestant, he has no choice but to say what goes along with everything, listen to the opposite, and do what he wants.

"That guy just has a bad personality! Just ignore him!" Kageyama Tobio complained.

Of course, he didn't understand why Yeyue could always treat Tsukishima Hotaru so kindly.

Yeyue didn't respond, but took out a handful of protein bars from her schoolbag and said, "Here."

Kageyama Tobio took it, tore open the package, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"You can't just ignore it. I'm the manager. And if you want to say that I have a bad attitude, Kageyama-kun can be mean to me sometimes, too."

“Ah?” Kageyama Tobio pointed at himself in surprise, his eyes blank, “Me?”

"Yeah," Yeyue thought for a moment, "For example, didn't Kageyama-kun scold me for coming back late yesterday?"

He blinked his clear eyes, "Is this true?"

"So, whether it's Kageyama-kun or Tsukishima-kun, they have no ill intentions, it's just that their way of expressing themselves is peculiar and not understood by ordinary people. They shouldn't be rejected by others."

Yeyue sighed, and as she finished speaking, she realized that Kageyama Tobio was staring at her without blinking.

"Yeyue, you talk like an old man."

Kageyama Tobio, you are very rude, aren’t you?

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm really sorry." Yeyue spread his hands.

"Are there any more protein bars? Give me a few more."

"Got it." Ye Yue stuffed a few directly into his hands. "Everything should be eaten in moderation. You can't eat any more today."

"Oh--"
