Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

— Tuesday morning 7:45 —

"Yue, wake up. Wake up. Yue..."

The cold female voice was gentle and chattering in my ear.

Who is... chanting sutras early in the morning...

Exhausted and impatient, he turned over.

As if aware of her inner impatience, the female voice suddenly stopped.

It's finally quiet. Let's go back to sleep. I'm so tired...

"Well--"

A Ling waited quietly for more than ten minutes and quietly left Yeyue's room.

"Still not awake."

Shinai whispered.

"Ah."

There was some guilt on Ling's face.

Yesterday, she forgot to tell Yeyue that if he borrowed too much of her power, she might be fine, but Yeyue would be miserable, as if both her body and mind were drained.

This led to the current situation.

"We'll be late in ten minutes."

"Ah."

"Well~ I'll ask for leave for Yeyue, where's Ling?"

"…It's okay for me not to go."

"That's it."

After an unknown amount of time, Yeyue stretched comfortably, feeling a little surprised.

It’s strange that I woke up earlier than the alarm clock today.

I played with Ling’s abilities for too long yesterday, and I don’t remember much afterwards. Anyway, I fell asleep without realizing it.

When I came to my senses, it was already morning.

She just felt refreshed.

The heavy curtains blocked the sunlight from the window, and the room was completely dark, making it impossible to tell the time.

He reached for the phone beside the pillow and just turned on the screen. The light from the phone shone on a pale face, which was very close to him.

Wow!

Yeyue fluttered back and was about to call Shenna for help, but then he realized something was wrong.

That face looks familiar.

The curtains in her room were very light-blocking and it was pitch black. Yeyue had no choice but to pick up her cell phone and use the light from the phone to shine on the ghost face.

"A Ling?"

Yeyue looked at him strangely, "What are you doing beside my bed?"

"sorry."

"……what?"

"It's my fault for being late."

"..."

Yeyue hesitated for a moment, turned around to check the time on his phone, only to find that it was already noon.

Wow - no wonder I felt like I slept so soundly, because I slept so soundly that I even ignored the alarm clock.

It’s over. The teacher will mark me as absent.

Yeyue has a headache.

"sorry."

With his head lowered, seeing that Yeyue hadn't moved, Ling repeated the sentence.

"It's not Ling's fault. I was too complacent yesterday."

Yeyue recalled what happened yesterday, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he must have fainted on the ground from exhaustion in the middle of playing, and then was probably found by Shenna and Aling and carried back to bed.

"sorry."

Ah Ling still lowered his white-haired head and spoke in a sullen voice.

"So, it's not your problem anymore. I used too much of your power yesterday. Did it cause you any problems?"

"No."

"That's good."

Yeyue no longer wanted to care about classes, and when she looked at her phone and saw that she hadn't received any calls from the teacher, she had a guess in her mind.

When I opened the messages sent by friends in the class, they were all asking about my physical condition. A few even tried to inquire about the identity of the person who came to the school to ask for leave for them, and their tone was full of curiosity and excitement.

——It’s Kanna.

Ling is not that thoughtful.

Yeyue thought.

And if people were watching, this girl would probably get angry.

"I'm sorry. Give it to Yue as compensation."

A Ling was kneeling beside his bed. Compared with Ye Yue who was sitting on the bed, she was much shorter and he could only see the top of her furry head.

"I told you it's not your problem. Don't take it too seriously, Rei."

Yeyue waved her hands, this was not A Ling’s problem in the first place.

"I'll give it to you."

What is it? Dessert?

No, I don't care what I eat.

"No, I..."

"for you."

A Ling raised his head quietly, his pair of snow-white eyes were the only bright color in the darkness.

"…Then I'll take it."

Seeing her determined look, Yeyue was too lazy to argue with her anymore. Anyway, he and Shenna made the desserts every day together. At worst, he could just give himself a day off and not go into the kitchen.

"Then, forgive me?"

Are you really listening to me, my dear Ling?

"……Yes Yes Yes."

Only then did A Ling raise his head with relief, straighten his hunched body, and resume his usual good posture.

"correct,"

Yeyue suddenly remembered that she didn't go to school because she overslept. What about Ling? Why didn't she go? "Why don't you go to school?"

"Don't lose the moon."

Ling tilted his head.

The little head was deeply confused by her question.

"...You didn't fail to wake me up this morning, so you just waited here?"

Ling nodded. Of course.

"what--"

A stubborn guy.

As expected, the person who asked for leave for me was definitely Kanna. If it was Ling, she would never have thought of asking for leave.

"You asked for leave yourself?"

"No."

“…It’s okay?”

"Ah."

"Oh."

"Ah."

Feeling helpless and no longer looking at A Ling's stubborn little face, Ye Yue got out of bed, pulled open the heavy curtains, and stretched.

It's rare to have a half-day holiday, but I always feel like I haven't had a good rest for a long time.

"A Ling, is there anything you want to do later?"

"Yeah. Go back to school and deal with the paperwork."

Ah——Come to think of it, Rei is still the student council president.

"It's so hard."

Yeyue looked lovingly at the delicate and exquisite girl who was still kneeling beside her bed.

"quickly."

A Ling shook his head.

"Really? Then can I go to school with Rei?"

If I'm not mistaken, Shiratorizawa should have quite a few targets to capture, right?

Take this opportunity to take a look ahead.

"Ah."

Ling agreed without hesitation.

"When are you ready to leave?"

"Now."

As he said that, A Ling stood up, opened his arms and was about to walk towards Yeyue.

"Wait wait wait wait!"

Yeyue was so anxious that he stepped back.

She didn't want to hang around someone else's school in her pajamas at all!

"Oh."

A Ling put down his hand and waited obediently by the side.

"...You go out first."

"Oh."

Although he is doubtful, Ling will do it.

Seeing the door being closed gently, Yeyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ling doesn't have that cold and indifferent attitude towards acquaintances, he can sometimes be even more difficult to deal with.

After changing out of his pajamas and picking up his Karasuno school uniform, he gave up on the plan.

A person in black school uniform among a group of people in white school uniforms, the collision of black and white is too conspicuous.

After changing into casual clothes and opening the door, Ling stood obediently by the door, as if he was being punished.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

"How are you going to get there?"

"Teleport."

"Teleport to someone you know?"

Yeyue raised an eyebrow.

"Student Union Office."

A Ling shook his head.

Because she spent most of her time in Shiratorizawa in that office, a small part of her cause and effect was left in that room.

Just teleport it directly.

Yeyue nodded, but she still wanted to go down and say hello to Shennai.

"Hold on."

"Oh."

"Kanna?"

When she reached the first floor, Yeyue looked around and saw no one.

Did he ask for leave from school for himself and hasn’t come back yet?

"Dealing with the witch, I think."

Ah Ling walked down the stairs slowly.

"Witch?" Yeyue murmured, "Are you okay?"

"Ah."

"Want to go have a look?"

Yeyue was still a little worried.

Although she felt that Kanna was not weak, after yesterday's experience, she felt that Rei might be stronger.

"can."

Ling thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Although she didn't know what was so good about going, but since Yeyue mentioned it, she might as well go. She didn't care.
