Zongman: Complete Guide to Characters

As it approaches noon, the weather becomes more sultry.

There was the constant sound of volleyballs hitting the ground, scoring and whistles in the gymnasium.

At the back door, the managers were cutting vegetables and making rice balls, making quite a lot of noise.

On the last day of the training camp, the coaches treated us to a barbecue.

"Go and comfort your muscles!"

With the coach's permission, the crowd started fighting like vicious dogs, aiming at the golden, crispy and tender barbecued meat.

So...what about Tsukishima Hotaru?

Yeyue looked around but couldn't find her lover. Was he hiding?

Hiss——Why do I feel like I’m a ferocious beast?

"Hey - let's eat more of this rare barbecue, Manager-chan~"

Kuroo Tielang appeared from nowhere and put a piece of meat on her plate with a smile.

"Thank you."

"Let's eat and see."

"Ok."

The meat in your mouth is grilled to perfection, golden and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside.

"It's delicious. Thank you, Kuroo-kun. Did you bake it yourself?"

Yeyue had just been doing the preparatory work with the managers, and now she still feels empty in the stomach.

"Well - let us serve you managers once in a while."

Kuroo Tetsuro pointed to the chairs at the back and said, "If you get tired of standing, there are chairs over there. It would be nice to have a pleasant chat while eating barbecue."

"Senior is so cunning!"

Not far away, Huiyu Lev pointed at his senior in disbelief, but with meat stuffed in his mouth, his words were unclear.

"Yeyue-san! Please pay more attention to me too!"

Yamamoto Takeshi was the one that Karasuno guarded against the most, probably because he proposed to her on the first day they met.

Xi Gu Xi's eyes flashed with ferocity. He pulled him by the back of the collar and pointed his thumb at himself. "Hey! If Captain Yinju wants to attack our manager, come and fight me between men. Don't rush ahead!"

"Oh——"

Kuroo Tielang narrowed his eyes with a forced smile.

It's really tricky.

But, what a bunch of childish guys.

What's the point of rushing ahead? It doesn't matter what these people think. What matters is who the parties involved favor more, right?

Then let him see the little girl's reaction...

Um?What about people?

Yeyue left those people and decided to go back to the manager if she couldn't find Tsukishima Hotaru.

As for Kuroo Tetsuro and the others… they should be able to handle it themselves, right?

Anyway, she saw that Kiyoko Shimizu usually ignored Ryunosuke Tanaka who was pestering her.

Well - it's about the same.

So, what about Tsukishima Hotaru?

Where?Where?

Tsukishima Hotaru, the tall blond boy, didn't notice it, but he did notice a petite girl with the same blond hair.

"what are you doing?"

Yeyue leaned over and patted Gudi Renhua on the shoulder. The other person was startled and turned around to find that it was him.

As if he had found a savior, he cried and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Yeyue-san, do you feel like you have accidentally entered a giant forest?"

"Eh? Ah——It's true that everyone is tall, and the pressure is strong. Well——But they are all good people, so don't worry too much about the height issue."

Yeyue raised her eyebrows slightly, chuckled and comforted the girl, "Just get along normally."

Yeyue-san! You have such a strong heart! Is this the extraordinary thing about the popular king? You are always friendly to everyone and never judge people by appearance... Woohoo - I have to work hard too! Everyone is a good person! Just treat everyone as Dongfeng seniors! That's right!

"Excuse me! Please let me get a piece of meat!"

Gu Di Renhua turned around with determination, and when she turned around, she met the gazes of several young men over 1.8 meters tall, and her legs went weak.

"please!"

"Do you want something to eat that I can help you with?"

"If it's not enough, I'll bake it for you!"

We are all good people! No! Valley Renhua! Stay strong! Don't judge people by their appearance! Stay strong, my legs!

A mournful expression reappeared on her cute little face. She must be frightened to death at this moment.

Unfortunately, Yeyue had already left when the girl squeezed into the crowd with a determined look on her face.

“It turns out that the small appetite group all gather here.”

"Yeyue-san!"

"Hello, Yamaguchi-kun."

Yeyue greeted the other party.

"Small appetite group?"

The boy asked his manager in confusion.

"Yeah! Tsukishima-kun and Kouzuma-senpai are both at the top of the list of those with the smallest appetites in the training camp."

"Hey--"

Yamaguchi Chu looked surprised. It turned out that Yeyue-san was so observant. I don’t know if he had observed me. But given the manager’s careful personality, he should have observed himself as well.

Oh no! If I keep thinking like this, my face will turn red...

"..."

Guzhua Mamo looked up from his phone, and his golden cat eyes turned to Yeyue who was happily chatting with Yamaguchi Tadashi.

That person can really get along with anyone. But sometimes, if you can't grasp the sense of distance well, many boys will feel lucky.

In terms of the difficulty of the strategy, this person is definitely the No. 1 one I have ever seen.

I don't want to confront her, but she is too conspicuous. Wherever she is, people will naturally gather around her.

And considering the child himself, the other party had done nothing wrong, so it would be too much for him to just take a detour...

I should just leave quietly while the other party hasn't noticed me...

"Ah! Senior Lone Claw!"

The boy stiffened.

Tsukishima Hotaru, who was silent, also pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what the person who was currently in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with her would say next.

"Senior Guzhua, it's very quiet over there, and there are not many people."

The boy paused and looked in the direction the girl pointed. It was indeed a nice place.

"Thank you, thank you."

After saying this briefly, the boy trotted away from here.

Sure enough, he was hiding from me, grinding with his own claws.

But why?

I don’t understand, forget it.

Tsukishima Hotaru noticed from the corner of his eye that she was looking at him, and he silently turned away, pretending to refuse to communicate.

"Well--"

Yamaguchi Tadaya noticed the rift between the two and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Manager, you've worked hard preparing the ingredients for us, sit down and have a rest!"

"Ah."

Yamaguchi Tadashi deliberately sat between the two of them, trying to ease the atmosphere among the three of them with a few words.

【Yeyue: Why are you ignoring me? 】

[Tsukishima Hotaru: I don’t want to]

"The training camp is finally over, and Yeyue-san has worked hard!"

"That's not bad!"

Yeyue turned around, trying to take the boy's feelings into consideration, and nodded in reply, "Yamaguchi-kun's serve is getting better and better! I'm really looking forward to the next match!"

[Yeyue: That’s too much! Can we go out together more often after we go back? ]

[Tsukishima Hotaru: No time]

[Yeyue: Let’s go to the summer festival? I haven’t been there yet. ]

"Ha ha--"

Yamaguchi Tadashi touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I also hope to have a chance to play next time."

"If you keep winning, you will definitely get it. Then I'll have to trouble Yamaguchi-kun to win the whole game."

"Ah - I guess I can't do this... But I'll try my best."

[Tsukishima Hotaru: No]

[Yeyue: It seems to last for three days, so there should be fewer people on the last day, right? ]

[Tsukishima Hotaru: You're not reading my messages at all, are you? ]

[Yeyue: I heard there was a fireworks display, did Tsukishima know about it? ]

[Tsukishima Hotaru: …]

[Yeyue: Remember to wear a yukata when the time comes! I am looking forward to seeing my boyfriend in a yukata! ]

[Tsukishima Hotaru: The meaning of chatting is to listen and then respond, or to change the topic after listening, right?]

[Yeyue: Yes, so Tsukishima-kun is listening to me carefully, I am very happy! I like you more and more! ]

"I--"

Tsukishima Hotaru almost cursed out loud, but stopped herself in time and took a deep breath.

However, given Tsukishima Hotaru's personality, although she is a bit sharp-tongued, she can't utter any swear words.

"Yue, are you okay?"

"Ah."

After answering vaguely with the word "friend", Tsukishima looked at his phone again. The person he was chatting with was clearly less than two meters away from him.

Really!

[Tsukishima Hotaru: Go back to your old self]

[Yeyue: Are you okay just now? ]

[Tsukishima Hotaru: Listen to me carefully! ]

[Yeyue: I am listening! Of course I will write down every word my boyfriend says! But when facing a tsundere, it is better to ignore some words, which is healthier for your psychology! ]

Tsundere? ? !

The hand holding the disposable water cup exerted force.

"Yue? What's wrong with Yue? You suddenly exerted so much force that the water splashed out!"

Yamaguchi Tadashi looked at the paper cup in Tsukishima Hotaru's hand that was squeezed to the point of being deformed and was a little surprised. He rummaged through his pockets and took out a handkerchief and gave it to him.

"..."

Tsukishima Hotaru took the handkerchief and wiped the water that spilled on his white T-shirt. He picked up the deformed paper cup and said, "I'll go take out the trash."

"Tsukishima-kun, the garbage bag is over there."

Yeyue pointed her boyfriend in a direction.

Tsukishima Hotaru's figure only paused for a moment, without stopping, "...long-winded."

Yamaguchi Tadashi panicked and kept making excuses for his friend, "The training has been too tiring recently, so Yue has been in a bad mood! It's not directed at the manager! Yue and I also had a fight before..."

Yeyue smiled and looked at the message from Yuedao Yingxin on her phone:

【Tsukishima Hotaru: You are so long-winded.】

How should I put it? If you say the same swear word twice, it won’t feel like a venomous curse anymore.
