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

After thinking it over carefully, he casually said, "But it also has something to do with the season. It was winter at that time."

It’s about my hometown. The winter in the north looks very beautiful in the movies, but it’s a bit painful to experience it in reality.

Especially the extremely bulky clothes, and the feet that are always cold, and long live the kotatsu!

"Ah~" Hiratsuka Shizuka handed the chopped crab legs to Hachiman's mouth, and this action made him at a loss.

It was obvious that he was too drunk with sake, his eyes were blurry, but upon closer inspection they seemed affectionate.

"It's the other way around," Hachiman muttered quietly, feeling a little embarrassed by his teacher's kindness.

"Don't be so affectionate in front of me." Yukinoshita Haruno, who was sitting in the middle of the room, narrowed her eyes and spoke in a cold tone.

"Sorry." Shizuka Hiratsuka apologized very sincerely, feeling a little confused. This was because once when she and Haruno were drinking in an izakaya, she saw a couple at the next table being intimate as if no one was around, and she almost rushed over, but luckily was stopped by Haruno.

......But when I think about it carefully, it seems that I was not wrong at that time. At that time, I wanted to shout "Let the current charges explode", and now everything is perfect.

But in fact, I know very well how a person feels.

"Heh..." Watching Hiratsuka-sensei apologizing to Yukinoshita Haruno, Uesugi Genshin couldn't help laughing and put the peeled crab legs into Yui's small plate.

Just feed her for a while, and then let her eat by herself.

The main reason was that I couldn't bear to see her trying hard to pry the crab legs open but failing.

There was a pot of sake next to him. Uesugi Genshin poured himself a glass. It tasted cool and the crabs were also cool.

There is no problem with eating cold crabs. The cooked crab meat will be sweet, and it will be even sweeter when it cools down. Logically, the wine should be heated, but that is not the case.

The sushi tasted like only the rice was lukewarm, except for the crab.

He ate most of the box of sushi and was almost full. Yui only ate a small half. This was actually her appetite, although she ate most of the crabs.

After eating, he lay on the corridor in front of the courtyard, looked at the moon, made a circle with his fingers, and placed it in front of his eyes, just circling the moon.

"Do men like girls who look innocent?" He walked towards her silently, like a ghost.

"You want to say she's stupid, Yui isn't stupid, she's just kind to those around her usually." He put his fingers down, pretending that the childish behavior just now was not done by him.

"That's called naivety." Yukinoshita Haruno sat next to him, holding a bottle of wine in her arms.

I thought she drove away, but it turned out that she went to the car to get some wine.

He didn't say, "I hope I can remain innocent forever."

"Other people are not like that. My mother taught me not to be picky about food." Uesugi Genshin said, closing his eyes complacently.

"That's nothing? Haha..." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled, picked up the bottle with her right hand and shook it, "Would you like some champagne?"

"Do you have a cup?" Hearing this, he turned to Yukinoshita Haruno and their eyes met.

"It has been prepared for you a long time ago."

The golden wine entered the glass, making bubbling sounds. If it weren't for its smell, one would probably have thought it was soda.

"Come to think of it, you mentioned this before." Taking the cup, Uesugi Genshin recalled the previous agreement.

"Well, I came here specially today to fulfill my promise." She was quite good at keeping her promises.

Uesugi Genshin took a sip, while Yukinoshita Haruno drank most of it in one breath.

"I left a few bottles for you too." He said, tilting his head.

"The end of the world is really good."

"That's a friend's house." He still emphasized that Sawamura was indeed a friend. Speaking of which, he didn't know how her family was doing. It seemed that they went to Haneda.

"Really~" She said playfully, finishing the rest of the wine in the glass, put the glass beside her, then picked up the bottle and poured herself another glass. With the sound of splashing, she said, "I don't understand you at all."

"Really? I lived an ordinary life in Hokkaido until I was 15, and then I came to Chiba to go to school. I have also been a novelist for more than two years."

"I don't believe it." He answered without hesitation, and a gentle smile appeared after the assertion.

"Well, it's not that ordinary." Shrugging his shoulders, Uesugi Genshin finished the champagne in the glass.

"How does it taste?" Yukinoshita Haruno held the bottle and filled his glass, and then she drank her own glass.

"Can you really get drunk from this?" Uesugi Genshin asked doubtfully.

"I can get drunk." She pointed at herself, "Look, I'm drunk, right?"

"Really?" Uesugi Genshin questioned.

"Do you think I'm lying?" Yukinoshita Haruno continued after changing her posture.

"Then let me see if your nose has grown longer." As he said that, Uesugi Genshin moved forward.

"Look." In turn, Yukinoshita Haruno moved her face closer.

Then Uesugi Genshin blocked her face with his palm, "Too close."

"Isn't this what you wanted to see? Why are you talking about this now?" He looked distressed as if he was the one who was wrong.

"Ha, it's my fault." He sighed, finished the wine, put the glass aside, and didn't plan to drink any more.

Ah..., I feel a little dizzy, Uesugi Genshin covered his head.

"What's the alcohol content of this wine?"

"12 degrees." Yukinoshita Haruno shook the bottle and poured out the last bit, "Why, are you drunk?"

She turned her head to look at Uesugi Genshin and said jokingly, "It is said that if you have been drinking strong liquor for a long time and suddenly drink low-alcohol liquor, you will get drunk easily."

“That’s how it is.” That’s what they said.

"I have something to discuss with you." Yukinoshita Haruno put down her last glass and prepared to get to the point.

"What? Love discussion?" When it comes to discussion, it's usually about love.

Rolling her eyes upward, Yukinoshita Haruno said, "It's a request. When they say I have something to discuss, it means I have something to ask of you, generally speaking."

The joy that had appeared on Uesugi Genshin's face until now disappeared in an instant like a lie, and he lay down on the wooden floor as if he had obviously lost interest.

"Please." Saying in a charming voice, Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed Uesugi Genshin's hand.

"The beauty trap doesn't work on me." He could feel the warmth of the other person's hand, but Uesugi Genshin was unmoved.

"Yes, yes, yes." Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed the other person's waist, her nails dug into the warm place and pulled it, "This is a personal commission from the Yukinoshita family."

"What do you mean?" If it was a committee matter, Uesugi Genshin would definitely ignore it, but he would listen to what Yukinoshita said.

"You are planning to go to Tokyo, right?" Yukinoshita Haruno mentioned what she had heard before.

"Ah."

"Can you please go to Haneda in Ota District and see what the situation is like there?" Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the moonlit courtyard. "Isn't there an evacuation point set up by the Self-Defense Forces over there?"

"What's going on over there?"

"We don't know whether they really want to evacuate all of them or use that place as a springboard to return to Tokyo." With a serious expression, Yukinoshita Haruno's face became solemn.

Uesugi Genshin sat up and asked, "Where are your people?"

"Because we don't know the situation over there. If we evacuate, no matter who goes to investigate, the news they bring back will make people in the base uneasy."

Ah, maybe there are people who want to go there. There are always some people who believe in the government and the army and have not given up.

It will also be troublesome if it is used by people with ulterior motives.

"And this also means that we will have to rely on ourselves for the next few years or even decades, so be mentally prepared."

More than half turned into zombies, and the remaining half were also turned into zombies due to a sudden attack. There is basically only one living person left in ten. This is the current situation of this world, so it is called the end of the world.

Even elite troops like the Airborne Regiment were reduced from more than a thousand people to a few hundred.

If half of the 15-strong Ground Self-Defense Force died, and if another half died, there would only be more than people left, and they were scattered across the country.

Even so, Tokyo has a population of over 10 million.

The ideal situation is 400 troops against million zombies. Each person has to kill zombies to completely clean up Tokyo, but this is not a simple arithmetic problem unless they intend to directly nuke Tokyo.

"And if you really intend to use it as a springboard..."

"It's even more dangerous." Uesugi Genshin continued Yukinoshita Haruno's words.

"The fact that the Self-Defense Forces have such courage means that a powerful dictator has emerged among them," Yukinoshita Haruno made her inference.

The basic approach is to rely on the army to establish a military government. Under such circumstances, these civil organizations, which are like separatist armed forces, do not dare to trust each other at all.

Because it is impossible to integrate, integrating means laying down the weapons in your hands, becoming a lamb to be slaughtered, and allowing yourself to be slaughtered or exploited by the other party.

It is impossible for them to share power. No one will give up the power in their hands, especially the dictator of the military government.

If you don't know the other party's background, you can't trust them, and it will also be a threat to each other.

"No matter which one it is, we have to figure it out." Yukinoshita Haruno turned her head and looked at Uesugi Genshin.

"What about the reward?" If it was for Yukino, Uesugi Genshin would not agree.

Yukinoshita Haruno laughed, took a sip of white wine, wiped the rim of the glass, and slowly, as if trying to figure it out, said to Uesugi Genshin, "Then it will be just as you expected. I will join your side."

"Hmph, I finally heard your promise." Uesugi Genshin stretched out his hand.

Yukinoshita Haruno shook it back, "Deal."

"!" Uesugi Genshin's hands trembled because what she said was actually in Chinese.

My heart almost stopped with fear.

“Hahahahaha…” Yukinoshita Haruno laughed happily, “Seeing your expression now, it’s worth it that I’ve studied for so long every day.”

"You are so boring!"

"Of course!"

"..." This matter-of-fact attitude really made Uesugi Genshin completely speechless.

However, there are many Chinese characters in Japanese, and they are closely related and have similar structures, so it is much easier to learn than Westerners.

"What do you think of what I said?" This sentence is still in Chinese.

"...to be honest, I have a bit of an accent." He answered in Chinese.

"Accent, ah, accent." It seemed that she was not very familiar with it. "You said it without an accent?"

"Of course!" Uesugi Genshin gave an affirmative answer, "This is my extremely standard Mandarin."

Actually not, he still has a bit of Central Plains Mandarin accent.

Giving him a blank look, Yukinoshita Haruno asked, "What do you think of my accent?"

"To be honest, it sounds nice, like you're just acting cute. Maybe if you speak more standardly, it won't sound as comfortable."

"......" Standing up and kicking him, Yukinoshita Haruno took the empty bottle and cup and walked outside, "I want to go back."

"Oh. Remember to pick me up tomorrow morning." Uesugi Genshin reminded.

Yukinoshita Haruno paused, but didn't say anything harsh after all, "I know."

After she left, Uesugi Genshin couldn't help but lower his head and smile, saying so many words in his native language.

I haven’t spoken about my hometown to anyone for a long time, and I miss it a little.

"Is it over?" Yuigahama Yui poked her head out and looked at Xuan Xin.

"Ah."

"Well, the temple doesn't have so many rooms. We have to sleep in one room with Mr. Hiratsuka and the others." She walked over in small steps.

"Oh, then there's nothing we can do." Uesugi Genshin nodded.

"......, if you want to, I don't have......" She blushed and gently pulled Hyun Shin's sleeve.

"Ah... I didn't expect Yui to be so bold."

"No way!" She punched him angrily.

"Hahaha, you should have a good rest."

Chapter 214: He is your daughter’s lover

When I woke up, I found that my bed had been invaded, even though I had promised to have a good rest yesterday.

Because the pajamas were stuffed in the backpack, it was difficult to open it and then zip it up, so the person next to me slept in a shirt.

Somehow it has already been lifted up most of the way now. Was it because I rubbed it in my sleep or because of the heat?
