A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

Then the meeting ended and everyone went back to pack their luggage. The specific departure time would be notified in the next one or two days.

"Grandma's husband passed away last year due to chronic kidney disease, one month after he came back from the hospital." Mai Sakurajima said in the elevator. Now there were only the two of them.

As people age, their organs begin to fail, and this cannot be cured. Once symptoms appear, they will only slowly get worse.

"I see." Uesugi Genshin expressed his understanding, "Does this mean you have made up your mind to die?"

"Ha..." Sighing, Mai Sakurajima lowered her eyes, "I will try to persuade her later."

"Ah."

Another thing about the car is that the apartment's underground parking lot itself is not very big. I have been here before, so I know very well that there are not many cars in the garage.

But the point is not the car, but the fact that there is only one person who can drive, not counting himself.

In big cities, commuting by tram can sometimes be more convenient, without the hassle of looking for a parking space every day, especially if you work in a busy area, not to mention buying a car, you don’t even have a driver’s license.

Young couples don't need to buy a car, and older people have retired and don't have a car. Office workers mostly work nearby, and those who live far away can just take the tram, so...

Mai Sakurajima placed three car keys on the coffee table, a Toyota, a Mitsubishi and a Mercedes-Benz. These were all the car keys she had found in the apartment building.

"Uncle Harano has a Suzuki sedan." Mai Sakurajima said with her arms folded under her chest. Her beautiful breasts appeared unusually straight under the tight dress, and at first glance they looked like huge, soft marshmallows that made people want to take a bite.

"Including me, there are only two people who can drive." Uesugi Genshin picked up the car keys, "These cars are all small cars."

"Yes."

It doesn't matter if six people are squeezed into the Wrangler, there is still a lot of space, including in the trunk.

But in the family car, excluding the old man who didn't want to leave, there were still 11 people.

“…”This is no longer a matter of squeezing together.

Unless you bring nothing with you and just stuff a few things in the trunk,... you still won't be able to squeeze in.

"Let's eat first." Sakurajima Mai sighed deeply, raised her head and suggested.

The others who were sitting silently on the sofa agreed and said that they should eat and cook first.

Originally, the people who were responsible for cooking were Mai Sakurajima and Yae Anno, and Uzuki Hirokawa would sometimes help out, but the rest of the people couldn't be said to be good at it.

This is especially true for those who live with their parents at home. Only by living alone can one become truly independent.

"Let me help too." Uesugi Genshin rolled up his sleeves and opened the refrigerator to check.

"Eh!!!" Fengbin Kazuka made an exclamation sound, as if she didn't expect that this person could cook.

"It's really surprising. I didn't expect you could cook." Sakurajima Mai expressed her inner surprise very frankly, and deepened her understanding of this person.

"Yeah." Uesugi Genshin looked at the full refrigerator, "Because this is a rare opportunity, there aren't so many ingredients 'over there'."

I heard them picking out everything from the refrigerators in the entire apartment building and taking it back.

Indeed, there was a dazzling array of things. Vegetables and meat were all stuffed into the refrigerator.

He took out a large piece of pork and weighed it in his hand, "This piece will be used to make red braised pork."

He also found two boxes of rennet tofu and beef in the refrigerator. He thought of something and turned around to ask Sakurajima Mai who was standing behind him, "Do you have Sichuan pepper?"

"Sichuan pepper?" This requires careful consideration. Sakurajima Mai walked into the kitchen and rummaged through the cupboard. Since the common seasonings were all available at home, she did not bring back the ones that were not often used.

"I remember there seemed to be one in one of the resident's rooms." Anno Yae suddenly remembered, because it was she and Sister Fengbin who cleaned up the kitchen of the empty house together.

"That's good, we can make mapo tofu." Uesugi Genshin said with relief.

"Mapo tofu..." Sakurajima Mai widened her beautiful eyes. This is really...

"Aren't these all Chinese food?" Nakago Ranko clasped her hands together. She had eaten braised pork in Ikebukuro's Chinatown before. As for Mapo Tofu, it is more popular in Japan, or it can be said that Sichuan cuisine is more famous in Japan than Chinese cuisine itself.

"That's why this is a rare opportunity. Just tell me if there is any Chinese food you want to eat. It doesn't take much time and I can cook it for you." Uesugi Genshin put his left hand on the kitchen table, moved his right foot behind his left foot, and stood on one leg.

The members of Sweet Bullet looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.

"Even if you say so, brother..." Anono Yae smiled bitterly, "We haven't eaten much Chinese food."

"Is that so?" This was his oversight. "Then put out the good ingredients for me and I'll decide."

"Yeah." Anno Yae was very interested, and the others were full of anticipation.

"Let me help." Sakurajima Mai, wearing a purple apron, handed over another orange one.

The kitchen is very small. It is an apartment originally designed for a family, and the kitchen is not designed to accommodate three or four people. It is just right for two people.

So Genshin Uesugi and Mai Sakurajima came together to prepare today's lunch, and it will be afternoon soon.

"Lobster..." Holding a lobster that was almost as long as his forearm, he skillfully separated the shrimp brain and meat.

Turn the tofu box upside down and cut a hole in the four corners of the plastic box. The tofu that was originally tightly stuck inside will fall out easily.

The kitchen knife made a smooth horizontal cut, followed by a vertical cut, and with eighteen elegant cuts, the tofu was cut into small pieces of appropriate size.

"You're very skilled." Sakurajima Mai was cutting beef and mincing some of it. "Uesugi-kun, you're very good at cooking."

"It's okay." Subconsciously humble, Uesugi Genshin continued the work in his hands.

"This is not okay. Even for me..." She shook her head. If she can cook Chinese food, then ordinary Japanese cuisine must be no problem at all.

It is said that serious men are handsome, let alone those who do unusual things.

Fengbin Kazuka held her chin and watched her sister and Uesugi Genshin busying around in the kitchen in tacit understanding, just like a couple in LoveLove.

Well...if she can cook, even if she can't help much, she should be able to have a say.

"Ha..." the girl sighed to herself.

In the end, what was served on the table included braised pork, lobster mapo tofu, beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, spicy dry pot stew (a slightly spicy version, probably because they couldn't eat spicy food), and some oriental-style home-cooked cold dishes, the most representative of which was smashed cucumber.

"I'm eating!" said several people at the table.

"Delicious!" Okazaki Sakura covered her little mouth and laughed happily. A petite girl like her looks even cuter when she laughs.

"It's really delicious." Nakago Ranko also covered her mouth and chewed, her eyebrows curved, revealing her inner joy.

"I didn't expect Brother Xuan Xin's cooking skills are so good." An Nong Yae praised.

"It's just average." Uesugi Genshin took a mouthful of rice and started eating it with the braised pork. What he made was basically the home-made version, with only some different ingredients added.

"Brother, he's a good man, hehe, the perfect marriage partner." After eating a few bites, Hirokawa Uzuki praised him highly.

Uesugi Genshin didn't pay attention to this. If he was evaluated by the standards of a full-time cook, he was indeed qualified.

"Cough cough cough." For some reason, Fengbin Hexiang choked on the rice, and picked up the milk next to him that could relieve the spiciness and started drinking it.

The food on the table was quickly eaten up because there were so many people, seven of them sitting around the table, but they were indeed very full.

"Ah~~, I'm so full." Anno Yae stretched lazily.

Okazaki Ying made a gesture as if she was stroking the baby in her belly, but in fact she was feeling uncomfortable because of overeating, but she was also smiling foolishly and happily.

"Thank you for the hospitality." Sakurajima Mai, who was sitting next to her, held up her pretty face, squinted her eyes lazily, and smiled charmingly.

"Well, I'm sorry for the poor hospitality." Uesugi Genshin leaned back and crossed his legs.

"Pfft..." She thought this man was very humorous, even though she was the master of this house.

Chapter 110: Bus crash

"Are you sure you want to follow?"

"Isn't that natural?"

Her feet in flat boots tapped on the ground, and Mai Sakurajima pulled at her collar to adjust her plump breasts into a comfortable position inside the yellow jacket.

He was wearing women's gloves on his hands, and his entire body was wrapped in tough-looking cloth, making him look fully armed.

She tugged at her zipper again and pulled it up, so that the clothes covered half of her face, but the moment she let go, her face was revealed again.

Uesugi Genshin tilted his head, thought for a moment, and felt that it was probably nothing, so he gave up trying to stop it.

Because of this appearance, it is obvious that this is a thorough preparation that can only be made after actual combat experience.

"Sister..." Fengbin Hexiang half stretched out her hand, perhaps wanting to hold her, but she did not move for a long time. She was really worried.

Everyone gathered in the small entrance, and she was the only one who had the standing to say anything to her sister.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Seeing her sister's expression, Sakurajima Mai comforted her. Confidence and handsomeness turned into beauty on her. She was such a gentle person that anything would soften when it touched her.

"Ms. Mai, please be careful." Hirokawa Uzuki, who was standing in the front, said, "Brother too."

"Yeah." Sakurajima Mai touched her sister's head and smiled at her.

"Oh." Uesugi Genshin straightened the hilt of the knife, "Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, I will be back before evening."

Generally speaking, this is a flag. If nothing unexpected happens, an accident will definitely happen. However, if it happens to him, he will make the accident itself disappear.

"I'm going out." She had only said this to her mother a long time ago, before they had a quarrel. I don't know how she is doing now.

"Have a nice trip." The same thing flashed through Fengbin and Xiang's mind.

The two of them walked into the elevator side by side. Uesugi Genshin turned his head to look at her pretty face, then moved his gaze down to the wooden stick in her hand, where a sharpened kitchen knife was firmly tied to it.

"Is this your weapon?"

"Is there any problem?" Sakurajima Mai turned her head slightly, glanced up at him, and spoke in a flat tone.

"No, I just think it may not be very useful." Uesugi Genshin shifted his gaze back to the elevator door.

"This will be much safer, as long as you keep the distance right." Locking the neck and stabbing it in can kill the zombie, and that's what she did.

The human body is delicate and fragile. It is easy to cut pork in half with a kitchen knife. The same is true for people, but it is a little more difficult.

"Hey~, did you clean up the zombies in the apartment?"

"You guessed it right."

"Hey~"

The two walked out of the elevator and saw his Wrangler at the entrance of the apartment building.

“Is this the car you bought?”

"No, it's from a friend's family. She has a lot of cars and gave me one."

friend?

Uesugi Genshin opened the trunk of the car and said, "If your sword doesn't work well, I can give you another one."

Mai Sakurajima walked over, stood beside the man, looked into the trunk, took out a knife and handed it to him.

He picked it up with his free left hand, "It's a bit heavy."

The sheath is black, the patterns on the blade are lotus and koi, and there is a golden crouching tiger at the bottom of the handle. The knife is full of craftsmanship, but modern alloys are still deadly cold weapons after opening.

The heavy weight in her hand was much heavier than she had thought. Is a knife such a heavy weapon?

"Try to swing it." Uesugi Genshin took the "spear" from her hand.

He watched her slowly draw out the knife like a beginner, and he also held the scabbard.

Mai Sakurajima took a deep breath, raised it high, and shifted the center of gravity of the knife in her hand.

Swing down!

The sound of breaking air was heard in the air.

The movements were correct and flawless, and the continuous swinging of the knife showed that the artist had practiced this kind of movement before.

It's enough. When you are well prepared, you can handle one or two zombies easily.

"If it doesn't work, I have a baseball bat here." Uesugi Genshin pointed to another spare bat in the trunk.

Mai Sakurajima then tried the baseball bat, imitating the movements of a professional baseball player and swinging in the air.

"It looks like it."

“I’ve taken on this type of advertising before.”

"I see." Uesugi Genshin nodded. He had only seen advertisements for her bottled drinks before.

"Huh..." Mai Sakurajima said, leaning on the baseball bat, "Sure enough, this one is more flexible. I have to worry about the direction of the blade from time to time."
