Y/N was sitting at the living room couch while a girl studies beside him.

"Onii-chan, what's the answer to this?"

"... 420." Y/N said

"Thanks!"

"Yuzuha, you won't learn anything from school if you keep making me answer your homeworks." Y/N sighed

"But these are so hard..." Yuzuha complained

"You know, you can ask me to teach you. Stop asking me for answers, I won't be there for you on your highschool exams." Y/N said

"Well... that's right... But that's super far away!" Yuzuha said

"You just made me your human calculator... didn't you?" Y/N asked

"Ehe~" Yuzuha looks away

"Which school do you want to go to anyways?" Y/N asked

"I want to be in the same school is you. Barbara-chan told me she was going to study there too because her sister studies there too." Yuzuha said

"Hmm..." Y/N said

"I want to be there too with you!" Yuzuha said

"I see..." Y/N said

"Hey, are you listening?" Yuzuha asked

"Yeah." Y/N said

"You're clearly not..." Yuzuha said watching Y/N play

"I'm home." Ningguang arrived

"Welcome back." Y/N and Yuzuha greeted

Y/N was warming up with the volleyball club and he suddenly saw a ball coming towards Hu Tao who was watching them.

"Watch out, Manager Hu!" Kazuha said

"Eh?" Hu Tao looked at the ball

Xiao ran towards Hu Tao, but Y/N jumped over Xiao and caught the ball.

"Phew~ That was close..." Y/N and Hu Tao said

"Sorry for my carelessness 'de gozaru." Kazuha said while bowing

"No, no, don't mind it!" Hu Tao said

"Y/N..." Xiao grabbed Y/N's shoulder

"Huh?" Y/N was scared to face Xiao

"S-Sorry..." Y/N said

"Hmph. Nice save." Xiao said

"Hehe..." Y/N scratched the back of his head

"Thank you, Y/N!" Hu Tao laughed patting Y/N's back

"I thought I was gonna get a day or a year of my lifespan taken away!" Hu Fao laughed

"P-Please don't joke like that, Manager..." Y/N said

"Idiot, you go ask if Y/N's here!"

Y/N heard from outside the court

"Dumbass, of course they're here if they aren't at the clubroom!"

"Get out of the way, I'm gonna ask them myself."

Suddenly the door opened and they saw a serious Diluc and Zhongli with the other three at the back.

"Pardon the intrusion, is Y/N here?" Zhongli asked

"No, he's not here." Y/N said, standing in front of them

"Oh, that's bad... Wait, you dumbass! You're literally standing right in front of us!" Childe said

"Bitch, if I'm literally standing right in front of you, why bother asking if I'm here?" Y/N asked

"... Y/N's got a point. I can't say anything else." Zhongli said

"Yeah." Diluc said

"Anyways, are you free after that?" Childe asked

"Y/N's free in a few minutes. We're about to finish, but we still have to clean up." Hu Tao said

"Who are you?" Childe asked

"I am the 76th manager of the school's volleyball club!" Hu Tao said

"Yay~" The members sarcastically cheered

"EH?! The school's volleyball club is that old?!" Thoma asked

"No, actually, the school's volleyball club is 38 years old and there's been two managers every year in the volleyball club." Zhongli said

"Ohh..." Thoma and Kaeya said

"On second thought, you can go now, Y/N." Hu Tao said

"Eh? A-Are you sure?" Y/N asked

"Yeah, you saved me from the ball earlier and we don't want to keep your friends waiting, right?" Hu Tao said

"Thank you, manager!" Y/N said

"See y'all!" Y/N said waving goodbye to his teammates and managers

"What is it today?" Y/N asked

"We'll be going to karaoke." Childe said

Y/N and his friends rented a room and they talked about what happened during school.

"Hey, hey, did you guys know? I saw Thoma was staring at Kamisato-san from the other class earlier." Kaeya said

"Oya? I saw you watch Rosaria from the upper class too." Thoma said

"Diluc was staring at the class rep of the other section." Zhongli said

"Other section?" Diluc asked

"Jean." Zhongli said

"Oh, no. We're just friends." Diluc said

"Huh? What about the girl Guizhong-san?" Childe asked

"Hahaha, she's a close friend." Zhongli laughed

(Haha! Omoshiroi!)

"What about Lumine, Childe?" Zhongli asked

"Haha, no way. Her brother would kill me." Childe said

"Let's talk about Y/N." Childe said

"I haven't seen Y/N stare at someone." Diluc said

"Yeah, noticed it too." Kaeya said

"It's because I'm not like you guys at the moment." Y/N said, drinking

"Hmm... Are you gay?" Thoma asked

Y/N chokes on his drink and coughs.

"What kind of fucking question is that?" Y/N asked

"Why are you geh?" Childe asked

"I never said I was!" Y/N said

"You know, Y/N. We still accept you if you turn-" Diluc was cut off

"I'm not gay!" Y/N said

"Then, tell us who you like. Don't worry about it, it'll be kept between us, men." Kaeya said

"I like... Baal... the person next to me in the classroom." Y/N tells them

"EH?!" They all stood up

"I heard she rejected twelve boys already and it's only been three months since school started." Kaeya said

"Her standards might be really high." Childe sighed

"But worry not, Y/N. We'll help you." Zhongli said

"Hopefully you guys won't mess everything up. The only one I can trust is Zhongli." Y/N said

"You've... got a point. We're pretty much reckless and inseparable when together... we're like brothers." Childe said

"Right." Thoma said

"I agree." Diluc said

"I wholeheartedly agree to that." Kaeya said

"Same here." Zhongli said

"Yeah, same." Y/N smiled
