Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

"Hey!"

Yeyue looked up at the black-haired boy standing in front of his desk with a bandage on his face and a worried look on his face.

The short training camp in Tokyo has temporarily ended and the students have returned to school life. The next week-long training camp will be after the summer vacation officially begins.

"What's wrong, Kageyama-kun?"

She raised an eyebrow.

I heard from Tani Hitoka that the group returned to school late at night yesterday. Everyone else went home one after another, except Kageyama Tobio and Hinata Shoyo, who had a fight in the gymnasium.

Then, Tanaka Ryunosuke, who was hurriedly pulled over by Renhua, punched him.

Unfortunately, Yeyue didn’t see it, because when we took the bus back to school yesterday, it was too late and everyone had basically gone home to see their mothers.

I also told Kanna in advance that I would be back in the evening.

As a result, when he got off the car, he saw Kana standing at the school gate for who knows how long. He had no time to pay attention to him and Hinata.

So I went straight back.

"Do you have time today? Accompany me." The boy seemed a little awkward, but spoke very frankly.

"okay."

Yeyue had nothing to do, so she didn't ask the reason.

then.

Yeyue came to the volleyball court with the volleyball idiot Kageyama Tobio.

On the way, his expression was so terrifying that it scared a child to tears, and it was Yeyue who comforted him.

"So, what's next?"

"……do not know."

"Really."

Yeyue didn't care and yawned lazily. In fact, for her, she just came out to relax.

When she is with Kageyama Tobio, she can just be casual. Yeyue suspects that even if she has become a different person on the inside, he might not be able to detect it.

"Tetsu, please teach me how to serve!"

"Wait... please, first of all, stop calling me by my first name, okay?"

When Kageyama Tobio heard a familiar voice, he looked over and happened to meet his senior who was walking out of the stadium with a little boy. He was stunned.

"Oikawa-senpai! Why are you here, for club practice?"

"Playing with my nephew. And we usually have Mondays off."

When Toru Oikawa saw this junior, he subconsciously raised his head, slightly raised one eyebrow, and looked arrogant, a very standard gesture of disdain.

But Kageyama Tobio wouldn't care. It's the same whether he saw it or not.

Yeyue was watching the excitement from the side. She also knew that Qingye Castle West was closed on Mondays.

Because Monday is the day when Kunimitsu Ying sends him the most messages and replies the fastest.

"We have a day off on Monday? What a waste!" Kageyama Tobio, the volleyball idiot, pointed out in disbelief.

"Rest is not the same as being lazy. Goodbye."

Oikawa Toru waved his hands, obviously not wanting to bother with this junior. He responded with a few words and prepared to leave.

"Oikawa-senpai, that..."

"I hate you so much, you stupid idiot! I can't hear you, I can't hear anything!"

Oikawa Toru was called again. He turned around and made a funny face, lowered his eyelids, stuck out his tongue, and acted like a spoiled child.

Even his nephew, who seemed to be an elementary school student, looked at him speechlessly with an expression that said "you are so childish".

Yeyue slowly opened her cell phone.

I just happened to receive a message from Kunihime, asking me if I had watched the recent TV shows.

Yeyue no longer paid attention to the two boys in front of her who were a little abnormal, and started chatting with Guo Jianying.

After taking a picture of himself standing in front of Kageyama Tobio with his hands on his hips and making a “V” sign while the latter bowed in his direction, Oikawa Toru finally felt relieved. With a happy smile on his face, he said kindly to his junior:

"Tell me, what's the matter? I'm very busy..."

"Didn't you say that your girlfriend dumped you and that's why you're free now?" Oikawa Toru's nephew stabbed in confusion.

"Meng! Shut up, kid!" Oikawa Toru was startled and growled at his nephew in a low voice.

"Eh? You were still wondering what was wrong with yourself when you came here!" Oikawa Takeshi said innocently with a confused look on his face. How could this man change so quickly?

"Shut up!"

Oikawa Toru directly covered his nephew's mouth, glanced at his serious junior, and barely maintained his demeanor. Oikawa Toru coughed and straightened his back again, "Ahem - what's wrong with you?"

"Hinata has been playing fast breaks without looking at the ball, and suddenly she wants to play with her own will, but that Hinata guy just doesn't have the skills!" Kageyama Tobio clenched his fists and asked the question that had been confusing him recently.

"…It's not you who has the initiative to attack, but the little one."

Oikawa Toru frowned, his tone was rarely serious, "If you can't understand this, you will become that dictatorial king again."

Yeyue was happily chatting with her friends.

[Kunimi Ei: What is Yotsuki-san doing now? ]

[Yeyue: I am listening to your senior Oikawa teaching Kageyama-kun]

[Kunimi-Ei: Eh? ]

[Kunimi Ei: Are Yotsuki-san and Kageyama together? ]

[Kunimi Ei: ...Is this a date? ]

You’re focusing on the wrong thing!

[Yeyue: No, I was just dragged out.]

[Kunimi Ei: If you need anything, call me and I'll be there right away.]

Yeyue couldn't help laughing and replied "OK".

"Ah, Yeyue! Manager-san, you are here too. Did you come out specially to accompany this guy?" Only then did Ikawa Toru notice the girl on the side. Her attitude was much better than when she was facing her juniors. She raised her hand and greeted her with a smile.

"Well - about that."

Yeyue also smiled at him.

"It seems that I, a useless junior, am causing trouble for others everywhere."

Ishikawa Toru spread his hands, left his juniors behind, and walked towards the girls. In front of girls and cameras, he would usually act cool, exuding "Ishikawa hormones" like a peacock spreading its feathers.

"Yes, it does cause a lot of trouble." Ye Yue thought of the little things that happened in the past few days and nodded in agreement involuntarily.

Kageyama Tobio, who rushed over, froze in his place instantly, looking a little overwhelmed, “S-Sorry…”

"Aha! That expression of yours..." Oikawa Toru was about to laugh at Kageyama Tobio for disliking even his own manager.

"But it's because of the trouble that we quarrel and fight with each other, and then we get to know each other better. I'm not the type who cares about disputes."

Ye Yue said calmly, straightened up, and smiled, "So sorry, Oikawa-senpai."

Oikawa Toru stared blankly at Yeyue pulling Kageyama Tobio away.

"What do you mean? Is my little Guojian going to be heartbroken?" He blinked a few times, pointed at Yeyue and stared at his little nephew.

"Ah——? Xiaoche, you're asking me?" Oikawa scratched his head in confusion.

"……Hello!"

Kageyama Tobio was being dragged away, feeling somewhat complicated. Although the person sitting in front of him seemed to have defended him, it also seemed as if he had not.

"That's it."

Yeyue stopped at the fork in the road and released his hand, "Kageyama-kun, you already know what you should do, right? Let's stop here."

"……Oh."

Kageyama Tobio frowned, and after a moment he uttered a sentence in a muffled voice.

Yeyue glanced at him. The matter had basically been resolved, so she was too lazy to care about it anymore.

I made an appointment with Rei to go to a dessert shop today, so let Kageyama Tobio take care of it if he wants.

After agreeing on a meeting place with A Ling, Yeyue walked towards that place leisurely.

When he saw A Ling, he was still wearing the white school uniform belonging to Shiratorizawa.

Speaking of which, Shiratorizawa is a very strong player in Harutaka. If Karasuno wants to get a ticket to the national competition, he must defeat this opponent.

"Let's go."

Today's invitation was proposed by Ling. I don't know which store she wants to go to.

"Ah."

A Ling nodded in response and took a step closer to him, his clear eyes always fixed on him.

"?" Although Yeyue felt confused, she did not move.

A Ling paused for a moment, then silently put his hand on her wrist again.

"What do you want to do?"

Yeyue finally couldn't help asking. Why are you teasing me instead of going to the dessert shop?

"gone?"

Ah Ling, this kid, wouldn't want to use magic to take me there. Thinking of the last time he was carried by this guy and ended up vomiting and having diarrhea, Ye Yue's mouth twitched, "Promise you will be gentler this time?"

Ah Ling blinked her icy eyes slightly, revealing a hint of confusion, but still nodded slightly. Although she didn't know how to be gentle about this, it was okay.

"Then let's go." Yeyue felt relieved. A Ling was still very reliable. Since he promised, he would do it.

"Okay..." Grabbing Yeyue's wrist with one hand, magic power floated around him. Ling seemed to be fiddling with something invisible in the air. He frowned, then relaxed after a moment and said with relief, "I found it."

Without waiting for Yeyue to ask.

The next second, the two of them appeared directly in the dessert shop that she and A Ling had been to before, and the table was already full of desserts.

I looked around and found that it was the dessert shop that Ling and I first went to in junior high school.

Oh my god, it turns out that Ling has the ability to teleport? Why didn't she use it before?

Ye Yue was about to make a joke, but then he saw the familiar two people, one black and one white, in the middle, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

——That’s...she still has Ling.

To be more precise, they were in junior high school. The two were still unfamiliar with each other at this time, and they were talking mechanically, asking and answering each other.

"A Ling."

"Ok?"

"If I want to add Kanna's line, will I be rejected?"

"will not."

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll go back and try."...

Listening to this familiar conversation, Yeyue opened her mouth slightly.

What's going on? Is this a projection from the past or something? However, the two people from the junior high school period in the past did not notice them.

Just when he was about to ask the person next to him, he had already taken his seat and even opened a seat next to him for Yeyue.

Ye Yue subconsciously glanced at the two people over there, and those two people completely blocked her view.

I sat down with some trepidation. The current situation was really weird.

"A Ling, is this your ability?"

"Ah."

"Why... is it so weird?"

Ye Yue glanced at the two people beside her carefully, feeling as if history was repeating itself, and she felt a little scared. She was afraid that the two people would suddenly look up and say something like "I found you" and then start to flee on the spot.

A Ling tilted his head as he looked at Yeyue who was asking the question.

It seems that Yeyue’s question is too abstract and I don’t know how to answer it.

"What is A Ling's ability?" Seeing her like this, Ye Yue had no choice but to start guiding her to answer step by step.

"coupling."

Ah Ling paused, and without waiting for Yeyue to ask, he just poured out the information like pouring beans, which was in sharp contrast to his past self's performance next to him.

"Connect with someone you have a certain connection with. You can do things like teleport to the other person, communicate with the other person telepathically, transfer injuries, share abilities... and now, cause and effect reappear..."

Ling pointed at his past self beside him, "The past image is fake. You can't go too far away."

Since it’s a fake dessert, why are you eating it so happily…

"Yue doesn't allow me to eat too much... But, if it's fake, try it..." Ling glanced at her and muttered softly.

“Eh——” Ye Yue suddenly realized and looked at her with complicated eyes, “You went to such lengths for a casual remark of mine… You are really… a glutton… But you are also, a really good child…”

It was obvious that she would not be able to find out if she just ate behind my back, but she had to take me to eat in this way. It was really indescribable.

At first I thought I had traveled back in time, and I was still thinking about such a buggy ability. Now that I hear it... it's still a bit of a buggy ability. But it's useless except for solving cases, right?

But it is a bit useless when used to solve a case. After all, the need for a certain connection is indeed troublesome. "A certain connection" is too vague.

But can I use it myself? Ling, I said that the ability to connect includes the ability to share.

She has always been dissatisfied with her weak point of physical fitness. She has a system, but it is just like a decoration. When something happens, she can only be manipulated by others. It is really frustrating.

"A Ling, can I?"

Ling, who was happily eating dessert, looked confused.

What can be done?

He turned around and met Yeyue's inquiring eyes.

A Ling nodded subconsciously.

It's okay, but it's okay if not.

"Then come on, try to use the connection on me!"

A Ling understood and nodded obediently.

He stretched out his slender white index finger and touched her eyebrows, and ripples appeared in the air like rippling water.

"All right?"

I don't feel anything.

"Ah."

"Can I borrow your strength from now on?"

"can."

Ling just reached out to grab a puff, but it was eaten by his past self.

She stared at her past self with wide eyes in disbelief.

Why are you so hateful?

She snapped her fingers, and the time in this virtual space stopped. Ling happily took the puff she wanted to eat from her past self and stuffed it into her mouth.

Yeyue glanced at A Ling who was trying to snatch the food from her mouth, and her eyes twitched slightly.

Then she was excited to test her ability. If she was right, Ling and Shenna should be very strong transcendents, right? Now that she could borrow Ling's power, she would not be weak either.

Yeyue clenched her fists excitedly, and indeed felt that a power that did not belong to her was emerging out of nowhere. She punched the wall.

boom--

A loud noise cut through the void, and waves of air rolled.

Before Yeyue and A Ling could react, they were back to reality.

Ling's hand was still holding something in the air. It was the matcha cake that she had not had time to eat yet.

Oh, but it's gone now, turned into a ball of air.

At this moment, she looked at her hand that was grasping in the air, her pupils turned to glance at Yeyue, whose face was flushed with excitement, and fell silent.

In the end, Ye Yue only saw the shattered wall and the air wave that ran through the entire street, and the ground seemed to shake.

Rei is stronger than she thought! Are magical girls so powerful?

"Zero, did you see that... Hey? Why are you... Ugh! Wait, are you crying? Don't cry! I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

“…I didn’t cry…”
