Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

Because my deskmate really didn't like that kind of environment, he pulled me out early. Yeyue didn't care.

Anyway, she was going to go shopping. She and her deskmate separated at the station and got on a bus to the commercial street.

The cat I picked up earlier is my responsibility. Since I have accepted this task, I must do it well. I bought some kitten milk powder, food, cat litter and other things in advance.

Then, the Tokyo expedition is coming up soon. This training camp is expected to last longer than the last time. I need to buy some travel supplies, such as motion sickness medicine and power banks.

"Welcome! Hey, it's you, Karasuno's young manager."

"Hello there!"

The young man who greeted her was a friend of the coach and a former member of the Karasuno volleyball club. He had helped a lot during this period and had come to cheer for her in previous matches. Yeyue had an impression of him.

"Oh, do you need to buy something? I can give you a discount." Shimada, a man about the same age as his own coach, looked much kinder and younger than Coach Uyang.

Yeyue told him what she needed. Shimada nodded in understanding, "Yamaguchi, please help get it."

"Ok."

Yamaguchi? And who is this familiar voice? Could it be...

A weak-looking boy with freckles on his face came out holding a power bank.

Both of them were startled when they met.

It was Yeyue who reacted first, stretched out her hand, and greeted him, "Yamaguchi-kun!"

"Ah! Hello, manager." Yamaguchi scratched his cheek uncomfortably.

How come I met the manager here?

"I'm leaving first. You guys can take your time to reminisce. Yamaguchi, don't be in a hurry~" Shimada went to count the goods and said this lightly.

"!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Compared to Yamaguchi Tadashi, Yeyue was more generous and calm.

Yamaguchi Tadashi didn't dare to look at the girl. It would be fine if they just greeted each other on weekdays, but now Mr. Shimada was even asking them to get along with each other...

I'm so sorry!

Moreover, Yamaguchi Tadashi always felt that the girl seemed to be more beautiful in her casual clothes, and he felt indescribably shy when the two of them were alone together.

"Yamaguchi-kun is amazing." In order to ease the boy's inexplicable nervousness, Yeyue slowed down his tone, "Training is usually hard, and he will stay to practice jump shots. It's hard to come to help on the weekend."

"Ah--no, I..."

The boy gradually calmed down and said, "After all, I'm the only one among the first graders who is not a regular. The only way I can help is..."

"Just this feeling is enough. Yamaguchi-kun is very gentle."

“……” Yamaguchi Tadashi relaxed, feeling a little embarrassed and not knowing what to say, and the corners of his mouth began to rise.

"I feel a little embarrassed. I had a fight with Tsukishima-kun before, and Yamaguchi-kun has been worried."

"Ahahaha - why did Yeyue-san quarrel with Ayue?" Yamaguchi Tadashi was very curious.

In his opinion, Tsukishima's sharp tongue was the norm, and his manager was a very good-tempered person, so he wouldn't quarrel with others to this extent.

"I forgot. I thought it was just a small thing." Yeyue thought about it and didn't tell the real reason.

You can't just say that Tsukishima Hotaru thinks she's a fickle woman, likes Kageyama Tobio, and comes to flirt with you guys, right? It's hard to say.

"Oh, I see." Upon hearing this, Yamaguchi Tadashi breathed a sigh of relief and a faint smile appeared on his face.

It's really just a small matter.

Since the parties involved have already forgotten what happened, it means it is not a big deal.

Moreover, he did feel that the relationship between Tsukishima Hotaru and the manager had eased recently, and the two would occasionally talk to each other.

"Although Yue can be very sharp-tongued sometimes, it's not his intention. He..."

"Well, Tsukishima-kun is actually a gentle person."

Yamaguchi Tadashi was stunned. He didn't expect that someone other than himself would use this adjective to describe his best friend. "Yes! A Yue is just a little weird!"

“Although Tsukishima-kun won’t show it, and he definitely won’t want others to find out, he actually always observes other people carefully. Such a person wouldn’t be a bad person.” Yeyue shook his head and told the truth.

"Yes." Yamaguchi Tadashi agreed with this and nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining.

"Even though Tsukishima-kun may still not like me very much, I really like everyone in the volleyball club. If possible, I really want to get along well with everyone!"

This is the truth.

In various aspects, her original intention is to get along with everyone in a friendly manner and steadily increase his/her favorability.

It was the first time that Yamaguchi Tadashi heard the word "like" from a girl's mouth. Even though she didn't mean that, he couldn't help but feel his ears starting to feel hot.

"...Oh, right." She remembered something, rummaged through her schoolbag, and handed over a small bottle of something, "This."

"What's this."

The boy took it and examined it. It looked like a bottle of medicine?

No way. Why would the manager give himself medicine for no apparent reason?

"Stomach medicine."

“???!” Yamaguchi Chuichi panicked. Few people probably knew that he needed to take stomach medicine when he was nervous!

"I noticed it last time, so when I saw it this time, I bought some. I wanted to keep it with me so I could use it at any time, but since I met Yamaguchi-kun, I just gave it to you directly." Yeyue explained.

“Ah, I see…”

Yamaguchi Tadashi tightly grasped the medicine bottle. Although he didn't show much in normal times, what happened in the last competition has made him regret until now.

I am also a freshman, but I am the only one who is not a regular, useless, and the least noticeable one. How can I be willing to accept this?

"Um, the last game..."

"The one in Qingcheng. Well, it was a very exciting game!" Yeyue understood and comforted.

The young man looked a little painful, his shoulders drooped, "It was me that time... Never mind. Yeyue-san, do you have anything else to do? I..."

The boy felt unhappy and handed the power bank to the girl, forcing a smile.

"No matter who it is, they will feel nervous when they go on stage for the first time. Didn't Hinata-kun hit Kageyama-kun on the back of the head the first time? Everyone needs to grow up." Yeyue took over and said calmly, "Even if there will be some regrets in the process of growing up, there will always be next time."

She curved her eyebrows, "Give me a good serve next time, Yamaguchi-kun! I'm looking forward to it!"

"……Um!"

He saw the girl off and stared at her departing figure in a daze for a long time.

"That kid is great!"

Shimada appeared out of nowhere, stroking his chin with a gossipy look on his face.

Yamaguchi Tadashi was startled, "Mr. Shimada!!"

"Hahaha! Don't get so excited! Why don't you try harder?"

Shimada patted the boy on the shoulder, looking like an experienced person, and sighed that youth is really beautiful.

"Yeyue-san, probably won't like someone like me..."

"How can you know if you don't try..."
