Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

"One more ball please!"

"Ok."

Yeyue imitated Kageyama Tobio and Sugawara Koji in throwing the ball, helping the boys practice new battle plans.

After pitching again and again, it's no wonder that not only Hitoshi Tani but also Kiyoko Shimizu, who was from the track and field club, looked a little tired this morning.

Well--

However, because of the full 50 points of physical value, for me, this is not considered physical work. It is just repetitive work, which is a bit boring.

It’s strange to say, a physical value of 50 points is definitely not considered weak, so why can’t I feel any changes at all?

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"It's okay." Yeyue handed a towel to Sugawara Koji beside him, "Tsukishima-kun is not here."

Sugawara Koji's gentle face also revealed some trouble, "Yeah, that guy hasn't been in good shape in the past few days. Hey! Daichi, is it really okay to leave Tsukishima alone?"

Sawamura Daichi took a sip of water and gave him a reassuring smile, "As for me, I haven't been worried about him since the first three-on-three match."

"But - if Tsukishima says he wants to give up, I will stop him. Then, Yotsuki-san and Sugawara-san will have to come and help me!"

The two looked at each other and smiled at Sawamura Daichi.

"Did I say anything interesting?"

"He was so handsome at the beginning!"

Sugawara Koji grinned and wiggled his index finger.

"Isn't he handsome anymore after saying all that?"

Sawamura Daichi's eyes widened.

"Very handsome! Our captain has always been handsome and reassuring, but I always feel like an old father worrying about me."

"Why, why is Yeyue also..."

Yeyue smiled at him.

"But just now, Yamaguchi-kun chased after him while calling Yue. So there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

She pointed to the door.

"Ah - there shouldn't be any problem. Anyway, let's just wait and see what happens for now."

Yeyue stepped back a few steps and helped with pitching.

I haven't had much contact with volleyball before.

However, looking at the ball that she had lifted out, Yeyue felt that if this happened a few more times, her volleyball skills would improve a lot.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

The independent training ended, and the captain, Daichi Sawamura, was the first to shout.

The team members also shouted.

"I'll practice for a while."

Kageyama Tobio pursed his lips and held the volleyball tightly in both hands.

The three managers looked at each other.

"Then we'll leave first. Leave the lights on this side of the gymnasium."

Yeyue handed the boy a bottle of water and said, "You still have to train tomorrow, so don't be too hard."

Kageyama Tobio's expression became even more ferocious, but his eyes were never on him, "Oh."

"Awaited."

Following up with Kiyoko Shimizu and Hitoshi Tani who were waiting for him, he said, "I need to go prepare some supplies for the day, you two can just go take a shower first."

The two girls looked at each other and said, "Let's help too."

"Then I'll take care of it. But don't get too tired, I was just helping with the ball."

"puff--"

Kiyomizu couldn't help but laugh, "I'm sorry, but Yeyue made it sound like I didn't help at all, even though I was working very hard."

"Me? If it's me..."

"Yes! If we are all managers, we should all help out! Let us do something too."

Gudi Renhua clenched her hands.

Yeyue blinked slightly, "Then please?"

"Ah."

The teaching area was dark at night, but the kitchen was brightly lit.

Is there anyone still there? Which team member is hungry and looking for food?

"Ahhh - failed again!"

"Hey hey hey ~ try harder."

The three people from Karasuno looked at each other, "From the sound of his voice, it seems to be the manager of Owl Valley."

"Go say hello."

Kiyoko Shimizu took the first step.

Yeyue and Gudi Renhua followed closely behind.

"Hello."

"Hello? What are you doing?"

Yeyue poked her head out from behind Kiyomizu Kiyoko.

"Qingshui, Yeyue and Gudi!"

"Wow, you guys came just in time."

"What? What are you all doing here?"

When he came in, he found that all the managers from several schools were present except the three from Karasuno.

"I'm trying the recipe that Yeyue gave me during the day~"

Bai Fuxuehui brought over the watermelon left over from the day with a smile. It was freshly cut and looked very fresh. "Want to eat?"

"Thank you."

Yeyue took one.

"So what are you guys from Karasuno doing here?"

Bai Fuxuehui finished the watermelon at hand in a few bites, wiped her mouth, came over with a smile, put her arm around Yeyue and asked.

"Restock the day's supplies."

"Ah~~ Come to think of it, the people of Karasuno do eat some snacks during training. So they made them themselves?"

Manager Shengchuan clasped his hands together.

"Can you teach me that?"

Manager Senran also came over.

"Sure, it's not difficult."

Yeyue nodded.

Kaoru Suwada was speechless, looking at the pile of failed products beside her. Is this what “not difficult” means?

"Do you want to give it to the team members too?"

Gudi Renka asked.

"No, if you want to eat, just go and prepare it yourself. I won't prepare everything for them."

Manager Senran responded immediately, "I just felt that everyone in Karasuno was eating it, and it was specially prepared by Yeyue, so I was a little curious. Is that okay?"

"of course."

For me, this was something that just came naturally.

It just so happened that the three of them came here to prepare tomorrow's supplies, and to have people watch from the sidelines and explain to each other that this was not a difficult problem.

After everything was over, Yeyue was the last to leave.

After turning off the kitchen light, the surroundings fell into darkness, with only the bright moonlight casting clear pools on the sunken ground.

There was silence all around, darkness swallowing everything.

Yeyue fell into a state of peace of mind.

Listening to the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, my mood fell into peace.

I feel a little homesick.

However, if she went to look for Rei and Kanna, she was really worried that they would just come over and take her back.

Be patient, the training camp will soon be over.

Passing by the stairwell, a thin figure was sitting on the steps, and the bright light from the screen of the game console was particularly eye-catching.

Solitary claw grinding?

I don't know why this child seems to be hiding from me.

"Are you playing games?"

Yeyue took a closer look and asked softly.

"!!"

The boy shuddered.

"Sorry, I scared you."

Yeyue said this, sitting one step away from the boy in a familiar manner.

“This game is the one that was released two years ago, right?”

That was the time when he and Rei from junior high school went out to a game launch event to buy games. That was when he also met Gamasutra and Kuroo Tetsuro from that world.

"...Um - kind of, I forgot."

The young man's dodgy golden eyes flickered around and his legs moved sideways toward the wall.

"This level is really a test of timing, but there is a trick."

Yeyue played the game with A Ling several times at home, but stopped playing after completing the game and didn't get addicted to it.

"..." The golden eyes swept across him, and the game console in his hand tilted towards him.

"Look, this way..."

Yeyue leaned over and pointed in one direction of the game.

After a moment, the two looked at the game interface.

"You... have played this game too?"

"Oh, yes."

Yeyue's lips curled up. Playing games can really relax you. "I really like playing games with my roommates, but everyone is very busy recently."

"Shared apartment?"

The lone claw grinded, eyes widened, and looked at himself in surprise.

"Ah."

Yeyue nodded and repeated what she had said.

"Why...why would Yeyue's parents leave Yeyue here alone?"

“Because I’m busy.”

Yeyue repeated the same words as always.

"So, does Yeyue-san talk to his parents often?"

"No, in fact, I have never spoken to them. Why do you look like this? Is that abnormal?"

After saying this, I saw the other person's surprised expression.

"No,"

The boy stared at him in disbelief. "No normal parent would abandon their child in a foreign country just because they are busy, right? And let them share an apartment with strangers?"

The more Guzhua Momo spoke, the more unbelievable it seemed to him. But on the other hand, he felt that what he said was not quite appropriate.

"It's actually quite normal? Because..."

Yeyue knew that the parents in this world were essentially systems, and she had always been alone in her original world, so she didn’t really care. But if she had to give a reason…

"Hmm... maybe I'm not loved?"

Yeyue speculated and stated the most likely outcome.

Snapped--

"Ok?"

He looked back with some surprise, only to see the boy staring at him with his pupils suddenly contracted, like a cat with its fur standing on end. He dropped his precious game console in his hand to the ground.
