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

"It's a shame, but I still have a long way to go." The one who made this overly direct statement was Yukinoshita Yukino, who stood to her right, folding her arms. "I don't have the ability to break out of my circle and be independent, and I'm bound by the web of the environment and can't do anything. Even if I keep repeating in my heart that I'm different from them, I'm just going with the flow."

The world calls this kind of mentality arrogance.

"Pfft..." Uesugi Genshin lowered his head and laughed, causing Yukinoshita Yukino to glare at her angrily.

"Let's go." Uesugi Genshin stopped laughing, took Tsurumi Rumi's hand, and walked in the opposite direction.

"Where are you going?" Tsurumi Rumi turned her head to look at the crowd disappearing around the corner, and followed the two older brothers and sisters.

"Hey, girl, I see that you have an extraordinary talent, so I decided to take you in as my apprentice." Uesugi Genshin said something meaningless that perhaps only he could understand.

If you can’t fit in, then you can’t fit in. It’s no big deal.

"What?" Tsurumi Rumi asked timidly, trying to pull her arm back but holding her hands tightly.

"I say, be my stepsister."

Chapter 137: Refusing to be raised as a daughter

"What on earth are you thinking?" Hachiman sat on the dining table stool, his chin resting on the heel of his palm.

"No, why did you come with me?" Uesugi Genshin knocked on the pot with a spoon, and the pot was bubbling with steam. "That child is very cute, isn't he?"

"She's cute, and looks a lot like Yukinoshita," Hachiman commented honestly.

"Then is there any problem with becoming my sister?" Uesugi Genshin said arrogantly.

"That's no problem." Hachiman paused, "You..., you are not jealous of my sister Komachi, so you want one too."

This is not a random guess. When Xuan Xin was staying at Sobu High School, he was quite envious of this brother and sister.

"That's right." Uesugi Genshin admitted directly, "My family...my parents wanted a second child. I also thought that I would have a stupid Oudoudou or a cute Imito."

Is the younger sister cute and the younger brother stupid? No, the younger brother is indeed stupid, and Komachi is cute.

"......" But this is a sensitive topic. Hachiman turned his head and looked out the window. "Your home is in Hokkaido."

"Yes." Uesugi Genshin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a warm smile.

"What kind of place is that?" Hachiman asked.

"Well..., it's probably like what's written in the Love Letter. Hokkaido is a dream. There's only love in this dream. Maybe because it's cold, we think there must be a fire there. Maybe because there's a fire, we shudder. Do you love me? Please take me far away? Where to? How about Hokkaido?"

"Hehe..." Hachiman laughed, "It's such a beautiful place. Do you want to go back and take a look?"

"I will go back." Wearing an apron, Uesugi Genshin stirred the porridge in the pot with a spoon. "I have been thinking about whether I should find time to go back and take a look."

"drive?"

"How is that possible? We should sail the boat."

A car, dependent on roads and fuel, is far less safe than a boat far from land.

"It's time to go back and take a look." Hachiman didn't disagree. It was the right thing to do.

"Let's talk about it later." Uesugi Genshin didn't say anything else.

There was a knock on the door of the apartment from outside, "Dong Dong Dong". Judging from the voice, it seemed that the person was not a very calm person.

"Go open the door." Uesugi Genshin, who was unable to free his hands, ordered.

"Yes, yes." Hachiman agreed readily and got down from the stool.

He walked to the entrance, opened the door and saw who was outside.

"Why are you here?" Fengbin Hexiang tilted his head.

"......" Although he said that he didn't need to include the name, now he didn't even call me by my name, "Anyway, come in first."

"Who? Fengbin?" Looking at Hachiman who sat back on the round stool, Uesugi Genshin asked.

"Yeah." Hachiman returned to his dazed state with his chin in his hand.

"What's that smell? It smells so good~" As soon as he walked into the living room, Fengbin Hexiang smelled the fragrance from the kitchen.

"Haven't you eaten?" Although it did smell delicious, it was porridge after all, and people who had eaten a full meal would not be able to smell this faint fragrance.

"I wanted to call you. There's a welcome party on the second floor of the cafeteria. It was proposed by Ebina and the others, and everyone is here. You probably haven't eaten yet, so I wanted to invite you to join us."

After all, it was their first day on the job, which meant they had officially joined Sobu High School. So the "seniors" like Ebina and Miura spent money to prepare a meal, a private banquet that was guaranteed to be delicious.

"Ha..., I'll forget it." Uesugi Genshin declined politely.

"Why?" Fengbin Hexiang widened his eyes, a little anxious.

"I have something to do." Uesugi Genshin pointed to the bathroom where the faint sound of water came from.

"?" Fengbin Hexiang was stunned at first, "!" and then shocked.

Uesugi Genshin covered his eyes and sighed, "I adopted a sister."

"No!" Tsurumi Rumi, whose hair was being wiped by Yukinoshita Yukino, ran out, and Yukinoshita Yukino followed her out.

Rumi Tsurumi is wearing a T-shirt by Yukinoshita. Girls in the sixth grade develop early and are not too short. In addition, Yukinoshita Yukino does not have any chest problems, so she does not need to buy a large size for the clothes. It should fit her best.

She herself was wearing her previous school uniform, probably because she had just changed it not long ago and there was no need to change into new, clean clothes.

Fengbin Kazuka kept looking at Yukinoshita Yukino and Tsurumi Rumi, the two of them seemed to be cast from the same mold.

"Don't you want to be a younger sister?" Seeing Tsurumi Rumi shaking her head, Uesugi Genshin wondered, "If it's a daughter, wouldn't the age gap be too small?"

"I..." The little girl was speechless now, and then she agreed angrily.

"I'm so stupid, please give me your guidance. I'm your brother, Uesugi Genshin, remember this."

Hachiman, who was standing next to him, was watching this scene and thought to himself, my sister has become stupid too.

A voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz came out of Tsurumi Rumi's mouth, "Please, please give me your guidance, brother."

"Yeah." Uesugi Genshin took out a bowl from the cupboard, "Brother, I made you some soup, let's drink it together."

"Hmm." The tiny voice came out again. This child is still a little shy.

"What about the welcome party?" asked Fengbin Hexiang.

"I'm not going." Uesugi Genshin shook his shoulders lightly.

After noticing that Fengbin turned his gaze towards him, Hachiman also called out to Xuanxin, "Do you have any for me?"

"I cooked a lot." I had originally planned to have the leftovers with pickles for breakfast tomorrow.

Seeing Fengbin looking distressed, Uesugi Genshin said, "I'm from the student council, and I'm your superior. Would my presence at the welcome party cause low pressure? There's no need for Ebina and the others to specially invite us to the welcome party for you."

As he said that, Uesugi Genshin looked at Yukinoshita Yukino and said, "By the way, do you want to have a bowl too, or should we go to the cafeteria to eat?"

In essence, Yukinoshita Yukino is still a lonely existence. She doesn't have many friends. In other words, she is an alternative kind of "social phobia".

Hachiman wants to stay for dinner, so there's no need to let Yukinoshita go alone. Just ask her and see what she thinks.

"Ha..." Yukinoshita Yukino looked down at Tsurumi Rumi in her arms, "Please serve me a bowl too."

“You guys…” Fengbin Kazuka puffed up her cheeks, looking childish, “I know.”

Feeling quite self-destructive, she shouted, "I want to eat here too!"

"Hey, hey, hey..." Uesugi Genshin was a little speechless, "Isn't this your welcome party? I don't intend to be a hindrance."

"This is my own decision." Fengbin Hexiang sat at the dining table and patted the table to signal for the food to be served.

"Ha..., I don't care what happens." Uesugi Genshin sighed deeply.

Then he served everyone a bowl of porridge, and took out the pickled vegetables made by Sakurajima Mai, poured sesame oil on them, and mixed them.

People in Japan mainly use olive oil and sesame oil, and soybean oil is rarely used.

Originally, this kind of island counter connected to the kitchen could not seat many people, so Yukinoshita Yukino brought Tsurumi Rumi to bring the porridge to the coffee table and knelt on the carpet to drink it.

"Salt is bad for the stomach." Uesugi Genshin reminded her not to let her sister eat too many pickles.

"I understand. I'll pay attention." Yukinoshita Yukino responded. She would be responsible for looking after it.

Then, the door of the apartment opened directly, and someone outside opened the door with a key. He remembered that in addition to giving his key to Yukinoshita, it seemed that Kasumigaoka took it away, and then... who?

"You are here." Hayasaka Ai said helplessly.

"Ah..." Fengbin Kazuka was completely unaware.

"Your sisters asked me to come see you. They are about to start." Hayasaka Ai said to the prisoner.

"I'm sorry." Fengbin Kazuka silently apologized to her distant sister.

"......" Hayasaka Ai gave me that look that I knew, "I've already conveyed your message."

"How about we eat together?" Uesugi Genshin invited casually.

"..."

"You really want to eat it?" Fengbin Hexiang was stunned.

"That was a welcome party. I'm just staying here temporarily." Handing the key to Fenghama Kazuka, Hayasaka Ai explained, then looked at the culprit who had kept her busy, Uesugi Genshin.

Then who will tell my sister that I am here, Fengbin Hexiang thought.

The crisp sound of the radish is very pleasant and the taste is also very good.

"Your sister did a great job." In front of half of the people involved, Uesugi Genshin praised her generously.

"Of course, hehe." Fengbin Hexiang laughed happily. She would become like this as long as her sister was praised.

She was eating as well, and she said, "The porridge tastes a little bland."

"Ah..., I was thinking of making salty soup, but salty soup might not be good for Liumei's stomach."

The name "Rumei" made the little loli sitting there stiffen. Yukinoshita Yukino rubbed her head. It seemed that she liked this child very much.

"Salty soup." There is no salty soup in Japan. Fengbin Hexiang couldn't help thinking about it and said, "I want to eat the food you cook."

"No materials." Uesugi Genshin directly refused.

The school does not encourage students to cook their own food, so if they really want to buy ingredients, the price will be quite high.

"Oh~~~, but I really want to eat it." Fengbin Hexiang felt very regretful, "Xuan Xin, the Chinese food you cook is really delicious."

"Chinese food?!" Hayasaka Ai suddenly looked up with porridge in her mouth.

Her beautiful blue eyes were filled with shock. She didn't expect that this guy could actually cook the Chinese food she had been dreaming about.

I really didn't expect it...

Chapter 138: Throwing a Party at Someone Else’s House

And then, then, everyone came.

As the younger sister of Mai Sakurajima, a member of Sweet Bullet, and the roommate of Utaha Kasumigaoka, the consequences of Kazuka Toyohama's unannounced absence were much more serious than she had imagined.

"So what do you think? I'm not going to tell you what's going on. I'm not going to tell you what's going on. I'm not going to tell you what's going on. I'm not going to tell you what's going on.

It looks even cuter this way. Kasumigaoka Utaha hugged him directly, "Ichimodo-san, what's your name?"

"Tsurumi Rumi." Tsurumi Rumi looked towards Yukinoshita Yukino on her left, hoping that her sister could help her out.

But Yukinoshita Yukino helped to decorate the table.

The reason for the absence of several people led everyone to decide to hold the welcome party at Uesugi Genshin's home.

All the food was brought over, as well as drinks and snacks.

"My name is Kasumigaoka Utaha, and I'm your brother's best female friend. You can call me sister."

Uesugi Genshin, who was listening on the side, had no objection. She was indeed the best female friend, after all, she was the first close friend. Hachiman was ranked second. Because they were not in the same class in their two years of high school, the progress of making friends was much slower.

Although there is only one character difference between "female friend" and "girlfriend" in Chinese, the pronunciation of the first part is different in Japanese. It is only the addition of the three words "best" that arouses people's imagination.

"Ms. Kasumigaoka?" It sounded like a child calling relatives in a low voice at the end of the year.

But this made Kasumigaoka Utaha curl the corners of her mouth, and she hugged her even harder.

"Hmm..." When Tsurumi Rumi's nose was blocked without any dead angle, "I can't breathe."

"Senior, you're hugging me too tightly." Kato Megumi, who was sitting on the right side of Kasumigaoka Utaha, stepped in to stop the senior's unintentional "violence".
