Chapter 57 Staying Together

Sugawara Koji was the first to wake up. The car stopped at the square. There were several cars from other schools in Tokyo passing by, and the sounds of breathing could be heard one after another in the cars.

It's not yet completely light. It's still early.

He looked at the person beside him obscurely. The girl was sleeping soundly without any precautions.

Sugawara Koji was startled, and suddenly remembered the look in Shimizu Kiyoko's eyes when they knew that the two of them were sitting together. His ears began to burn.

He took a deep breath and pressed his hot face against the cold car window, trying to cool down.

Suddenly he felt something pushing against his arm, and he froze as if he had been electrocuted.

"Meow?"

Sugawara Koji was stunned for a moment and looked over, then heaved a sigh of relief, "It's you, Xiao Hei, be good and don't scream."

He carefully took the little black cat from Yeyue and held it in his arms, "Shh, be quiet, or you'll wake Yeyue-san up."

"GuluGulu——"

The boy's big hands soothed the kitten again and again. The comfortable purring sound of the kitten calmed the restlessness in his heart.

Sugawara Koji calmed down, but suddenly felt sleepy again. He yawned, squinted his eyes and looked at the girl beside him. The girl's delicate face was reflected in his eyes. He felt happy and fell asleep again unknowingly.

I don’t know how long it took.

"Yeyue-san is here." Being awakened gently by Sugawara Koji, Yeyue was confused for a moment.

Where's Kanna? Huh? Shouldn't Rei usually be the one to wake me up? Strange - who is this person? He looks so familiar...

The gorgeous red eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she stared at Sugawara Koji in confusion for a few seconds before realizing where she was.

During this period, Sugawara Takashi straightened his body, held his breath, and dared not move.

"Thank you for waking me up, senior." Ye Yue recovered quickly. He regained a lot of energy after a good sleep, and his smile was full of vitality.

“It’s Tokyo!”

"That! Xiao Gu, look at that!"

"Could that be the Tokyo Sky Tree?"

"oh--!!"

Two second-grade single-cell students who had finally passed the exam jumped out of the car first, pointing and shouting at an ordinary red iron tower.

"No, it's just an ordinary iron tower." The Onoma team member who came to pick them up explained to the two of them.

In addition to the two sophomores who rushed down first, the Wuye people on the bus also got off one after another. Yeyue walked with the other two managers.

The first-year single-cell group failed one subject in the final exam and had to stay back to take a make-up exam. However, after passing the make-up exam, it seems that Tanaka will send them here.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice. "There are more managers in Karasuno! There are two more!!!"

The young man with a Mohawk haircut, whose temperament and appearance were comparable to Tanaka Ryunosuke, pointed at Yeyue and the other two, his eyes wide open in disbelief. For a moment, he collapsed and his body began to tremble, and he was about to fall to the ground the next moment.

Ye Yue looked at the system information panel that suddenly appeared, subconsciously took a few steps over, grabbed the Mohawk-haired man who was about to kneel down, and said worriedly: "Are you okay? If you feel unwell, please go to the infirmary..."

"Yeyue-san is in danger!" Sugawara Koji looked over, his pupils shrank, and he quickly reminded the girl, "Don't get too close!"

Danger? What danger? Who is in danger? Him or me?

Before Yeyue could react, she felt a sudden warmth on her hand.

"Ahhhhh! You are actually a gentle girl! Please marry me!!" Yamamoto Menghu covered Yeyue with his hand and began to waile.

[Yamamoto Tiger Favorability: 60%]

So direct right away? Ah——He's actually this type of person. Yeyue's pupils dilated. In a sense, it's really amazing, very rare!

Just as Sugawara Koji was about to step forward to help the girl, two figures ran away faster than him.

Nishitani Yu and Tanaka Ryunosuke separated Yeyue and Yamamoto Menghu on the left and right.

"What do you want to do, you guy!!" Xigu Xi had a ferocious expression, and like a beast protecting its food, black air spread around him.

Tanaka Ryunosuke frowned and lectured, "Xiao Hu! If you touch a girl, you will be disliked. It is also immoral to steal someone else's manager, Amen--"

"And these! Are the strengths of our Karasuno!" His face was holy, and he spread his arms to include Yeyue behind him, Kiyomizu Kiyoko who ran over to protect Yeyue, and Tani Hitoka who looked alert.

Yamamoto Menghu was like a monster illuminated by holy light. He suddenly covered his face and howled in pain: "Ah - it's so dazzling!!"

Yeyue subconsciously looked at Qingshui Jiezi beside her in confusion. What was going on?

Kiyoko Shimizu raised one hand to block the night moon, and when she looked at Yamamoto Menghu, the vigilance on her face was even greater than when she was facing Tanaka Ryunosuke.

"Let's go." Kiyoko Shimizu gave Yeyue a look that said "don't worry about them."

Before Yeyue left, he watched the interaction between the three people over there with interest.

So that's how it is. Is he the same type of person as Tanaka Ryunosuke? However, he was very generous in his favorability. Although his behavior was too direct and a bit rude, Yeyue didn't dislike him.

Come to think of it, there are many people in Otokoma who can be conquered. And... Kozume Mamoru and Kuroo Tetsuro, two boys I met before, met again.

But probably this has never happened in this time and space, and they don’t recognize themselves.

"That girl..." Kuroo Tetsuro pointed at Yeyue and said to Sawamura Daichi beside him, "Is she the other manager who didn't come last time?"

"Ah - Yeyue-san, you're a good boy. You asked for leave last time because of something." Sawamura Daichi took in the whole scene, frowned, and raised a dangerous and restrained smile at the corner of his mouth, "Also, Kuroo-kun, please take care of your own people and don't touch our manager!"

"You're really strict." Kuroo Tetsuro laughed with a smug look on his face, "But, I think young people are free to fall in love, and we, as captains, can't say anything, right?"

Kuroo Tetsuro opened his arms, his expression pure and determined as if he was about to join the party.

"It's too formal to do this to me, isn't it? Kuroo-kun?" Sawamura Daichi smiled wryly. As he spoke, he remembered something and smiled with a hint of evil taste. "Come to think of it, I heard from Yeyue-san that Xiao Hei has been very naughty recently. But he is naughty, isn't this a bad thing?"

"……what?"

"Our team picked up a black cat at school."

“Could it be…” The corner of Kuroo Tielang’s mouth twitched.

"Yes. Its name is Xiao Hei." Sawamura Daichi patted his shoulder. "Recently, Xiao Hei stopped drinking milk and started eating cat food. Before, Xiao Hei also peed and defecated everywhere, causing a lot of trouble for people..."

"That's enough." Kuroo Tetsuro stretched out his hand and interrupted Sawamura Daichi expressionlessly, "No need to continue."

"You don't think I care about this?" He paused, then put on a relaxed and ruffian smile.

"Of course not. Everyone knows that Captain Nekoma is broad-minded. He definitely won't care about something like this, right?" Sawamura Daichi touched his head with a sincere and simple smile.

"Ha--" Kuroo Tetsuro laughed, "Of course."

After putting down their things in the girls' room, Kiyoko Shimizu and Hitoshi Tani went to the gymnasium first.

Yeyue still had to pack up the kitten’s things first.

"Xiao Hei, bear with it for a while, I'll feed you later." She squatted down to comfort the meowing kitten.

A tall figure walked towards her. She thought he was just passing by, but he stopped beside her.

"Oh - this one is... 'Blackie'."

"Yes, is it Senior Kuroo?" Yeyue stood up and greeted the young man.

"Well..." Kuroo Tetsuro said as he squatted down and teased the "little black guy". "It must be hard to take care of him, right?"

"Yes, Xiao Hei hasn't learned how to use cat litter yet, so he always poops everywhere."

"..." Kuroo Tielang felt complicated for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "Is that so."

"Yes, but he's healthy and can run and jump, so there's no problem."

"Oh——"

The boy dug up a piece of dogtail grass from somewhere and teased the kitten like a cat toy. "It's really healthy. It jumps very high."

Yeyue felt relieved when she saw that this senior, who looked a bit ruffian and dangerous, was having fun with the little black cat.

"Manager!" Dong Fengxu came over.

"I'm here!" Yeyue ran towards the other party.

"Do you still have the protein bars that the manager ordered last time?"

"Yes." Yeyue handed the things to him, "I'm sorry, it will take me a while to get there, so give all of these to senior. If it's not enough, I'll make more in the evening."

"Okay." The tall and strong boy touched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry to ask you for help every time."

"It's okay, I'm glad I could help."

Although the other two managers would also help, their efficiency was never as high as Yeyue's, and their yield rate was low. Compared with the time spent, it was not a cost-effective deal.

Therefore, the supply has always been handled by Yeyue.

Kurooi Tetsuro was still teasing the cat over there.

Seeing the person who was taking care of it walk away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of mischief. "What's wrong? Is this the only way? If I don't jump higher, I won't be able to reach it!"

"Come on, add some more oil!"

The boy's expression of evil interest became even stronger, "Yeah yeah yeah~"

“Meow meow meow!!”

"Ooohhhhhh!"

The tiny cat, the size of a palm, suddenly pounced, jumped higher than the squatting Black-tailed Iron Dragon, and stretched out its sharp claws to slap him in the face.

"senior?"

Just after seeing Dong Fengxu off, Yeyue heard a scream.

"Are you okay?" Yeyue ran over there.

Then I saw Kuroo Tielang falling to the ground, and Xiao Hei was looking at the boy lying on the ground with a confused look on his face.

“Meow meow meow meow——!”

Manager Karasuno! Please help me!

Yeyue sighed, supported the fallen Heiwei Tielang with one hand, and gently stroked Xiaohei who was crying with the other hand.

"It's okay, don't worry, Kuroo-senpai won't be mad at you."

Xiao Hei's head was stroked and he was a little confused for a moment. His cat eyes widened little by little and he looked at the boy lying on the ground in disbelief.

“…Meow!!”

No! I! Am! Kuroo Tetsuro!!

Just as "Xiao Hei" was meowing and explaining, the tall boy in front of Yeyue slowly stood up.

"Kuroo-senpai, are you okay?"

Although Kuroo Tetsuro still has that ruffian face, I feel like his temperament has changed a bit.

Yeyue narrowed her eyes subconsciously, but a polite smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I'm really sorry, Kuroo-senpai, I didn't take good care of Kuroko."

As he said this, he took the struggling Xiao Hei into his arms.

Being a cat... It’s so good... Unable to struggle, "Xiao Hei" chooses to accept it and enjoy it.

But looking at the familiar body opposite, I felt a little scared. If the person inside Xiao Hei's body was me, then the one opposite...

"Meow!" Kuroo-wei Tielang suddenly let out a loud cat's meow.

"Ah?" Yeyue was stunned.

Then he saw Kuroo Tielang rushing towards him, and Yeyue subconsciously stretched out his free hand.

"Meow~"

Kuroo Tielang threw himself into the girl's arms, and as if that was not enough, he rubbed his head against the girl's fair shoulders and neck.

The fresh scent of the young man enveloped her, and the masculine warmth of the young man came over her.

Yeyue froze in place, his eyes dazed.

“Meow, meow, meow—”

stop it!!!!

I've been totally treated as a pervert! Please, Xiao Hei, don't ruin my reputation!

Xiao Hei in Yeyue's arms was almost covering his face and crying, but no one could understand what he was saying.

Also, it's so crowded! Can you, a big guy, please move away! Go away!

Yeyue glanced suspiciously at "Heiwei Tielang" buried in his neck, and "Xiao Hei" in his arms.

What's going on? It's weird.

"Kuroo-senpai, please keep some distance from me."

The girl pushed Kuroo Tielang away and held Xiao Hei in the middle to block the boy from pouncing on her again.

"Woo woo!" Black-tailed Tielang, who turned into Xiao Hei, also showed his teeth and claws. If the guy opposite him who occupied his body pounced on him again, he would claw at him.

Just for the sake of reputation, he will take ruthless action!

Fortunately, Kuroo Tielang on the opposite side tilted his head, looked silly, and did not pounce on him again.

"Isn't Kuroo-senpai going back to training?"

Even after turning into a human, it seemed that it could not understand what humans were saying. "Black-tailed Iron Wolf" sniffed in the air, then actually got on all fours and ran in one direction.

"Senior! Senior! Please come back obediently!" Yeyue stretched out her hand to grab the boy, but was a step too late, the other party had already run away.

——Good boy! Xiao Hei kept covering his face. It was all over, completely over. He had been completely regarded as a weirdo!

"Is senior Kuroo angry? He needs to go and apologize." Yeyue murmured as she looked at the direction Kuroo Tetsuro disappeared.

"Meow——" Please, just treat it as that.

Yeyue stroked the cat in his arms a few times, but its body was stiff and it didn't react as it did before when his hand reached out to it.

Feeling bored, he had no choice but to hold the Black-tailed Ironro who had turned into a cat and try to find the runaway "Black-tailed Ironro".

"Ah! Is it Karasuno's manager-san?"

Night long? What is that guy doing here?

"Yes, I am. Please?"

The flax-haired boy showed a very friendly smile, "My name is Yakue Eisuke, and I'm a third-year student at Otokoma."

"Hello, Yotsuki-senpai. I'm Yotsuki, a first-year in Karasuno."

“Meow——” That’s enough, now that you’ve come over to say hello and show your presence, you can leave now! Let’s go now!!

Kuroo Tetsuro is somewhat disgusted with his team's libero.

"This is an unused cardboard box. I heard you brought a cat here. Maybe it can be used."

Yeyue showed a surprised expression and took the cardboard box, "Thank you, senior, I can use it to store cat litter. Thank you very much."

As she spoke, she grabbed the kitten's two paws and waved them, "Little Blackie wants to say thank you too."

Who wants to thank this guy? Xiao Hei turned his face away.

"Xiao Hei~"

Ye Jiuwei looked at the fluffy black ball in the girl's arms and bent over.

"Meow!" Don't come over here, I won't let you touch me!

Eh - how disgusting, Ye Jiu even called me in a whiny voice. Disgusting!

"Have you found someone to adopt you?"

"I found it. It's nearby, so I brought it here. Will it cause any trouble to you?"

"Don't worry about this, everyone will definitely be very happy!"

How long is Ye Jiu going to stay? Can you leave now? Haven't you finished flirting with her? The girl doesn't want to pay attention to you! Hurry up and look at her, then walk away in shame!

"I've had a feeling since just now..." Ye Jiuwei glanced at the kitten in Ye Yue's arms helplessly, "This child doesn't seem to like me very much."

"Meow." Just as long as you know it!

"Really? I think you're just afraid of strangers. Although I haven't been with Senior Yejiu for a long time, I always feel that he is a very gentle and kind person. It's just that I'm not familiar with him yet, so I won't dislike him, please rest assured!"

Being complimented unexpectedly, Ye Jiuweifu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Thank you."

Are you satisfied? Get out of here!

The more "Xiao Hei" looked at him, the more unhappy he became.

The flaxen-haired boy scratched his head shyly, and used his outstretched arms to cover his slightly red cheeks.

Why are you so shy? I'm just being polite, don't take it seriously! Get out of here!

Where's Lev? Where did that guy Lev go? Didn't I say I'd leave Lev to you? Why aren't you watching over him? Let's go!

"By the way, is this child a boy or a girl?"

What nonsense, of course I am a tough guy, a man of integrity. What does it have to do with you? This topic is too bad!

"I don't know, let me take a look."

……Why??
