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

The white abdomen and the lower half of the chest were exposed, which were light orange in color.

It can't be that I opened it unconsciously.

"Ha..." He reached out to help her pull her clothes down to cover her belly, then Uesugi Genshin carefully lifted the quilt and sat up.

They slept in a "卌" shape last night, with him and Hachiman sleeping in the middle.

Looking to the right, I saw that Hachiman was sleeping in a very neat position, with his hands and feet neatly placed under the quilt.

As for Mr. Hiratsuka at the edge..., he was already hugging Hachiman like an octopus.

No one sleeps well.

The room was about the size of four and a half tatami mats, just enough to fit four beds, with some space left on the sides.

The light came in through the wooden windows on the wall, making it feel a bit like a prison cell, dim.

Maybe it's only 5 o'clock now, 6 o'clock can't be any later.

"..." So he decided to shrink back into the bed and have a sweet nap with Yui in his arms.

"......" At this moment, Hachiman opened his eyes without any warning.

The two looked at each other. If they were not acquaintances, this silent stare in the dark would be a bit scary.

Fortunately, his eyelashes fluttered back and forth, reminding him that he was awake.

Each other's eyes conveyed the message "Ah, you're awake."

Hachiman turned his head to look at the teacher who was pestering him, and a smile appeared on his face.

Uesugi Genshin realized that it was a two-tone sound, and then watched him gently break free from the restraints. Mr. Hiratsuka might have woken up or might not have, and he turned over and continued to sleep.

Is he waking up and wanting to go back to sleep, or is he pretending to be asleep? It’s better not to ask too many questions at this time.

The two walked out of the bedroom together. The corridor was not completely dark, but was tinged with blue, the color of the approaching dawn.

This is slightly different from the blue-purple color at night, making it clear that it is morning.

"It's so cold~" His voice trembled and Hachiman shuddered.

"After all, early morning is the coldest time of the year." He put the knife back into his waist. He had put it aside when he went to sleep. It was basic to stay alert at all times as long as his hand could reach it.

However, Uesugi Genshin also felt a little cold, but not as exaggerated as Hachiman.

"It's almost six o'clock." Hachiman took out the only cell phone they had and checked the time.

In fact, since his mobile phone was "lost", Uesugi Genshin also found a watch and put it on his wrist. It was a small mechanical watch. He rolled up his sleeves and took a look at it.

"Let's go out for a walk and wake them up when we come back," suggested Uesugi Genshin.

"Do you want to wash your face?" Hachiman asked.

"The water is cold." His face didn't want to be stimulated by the cold water yet.

"That's right." This person also didn't want to.

In the open corridor, they found the place where they had taken off their shoes before, put them on, and looked up at the waning moon in the sky.

"Why don't we go back to sleep?" Hachiman suggested quietly.

"Don't be so disappointing." Patting him on the back, Uesugi Genshin walked out of the temple.

Hachiman followed, complaining at the same time, "This has nothing to do with that. It's more about who would be awake at this time."

Most people are asleep, he had meant to say.

As a result, I saw a group of people at the door. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't here for them.

"Hi~" Yukinoshita Haruno looked back at the two of them and greeted them.

"What are you doing..." Uesugi Genshin and Hachiman walked over.

"Ms. Yukinoshita, do you need to replace the glass?" The uncle next to her asked Yukinoshita Haruno while holding a piece of steel plate.

"It's too late. Forget it." Yukinoshita Haruno waved her hand and refused, then turned to them and said, "Don't you understand?"

"I didn't expect you to remember it." Glancing at the light truck next to him, Uesugi Genshin sighed.

He said he would modify his car so that it would be less crash-resistant.

"Of course." In the darkness, Yukinoshita Haruno showed a transparent and hazy smile.

"Thank you very much." He clasped his hands together and shook them, using some unknown country's way of expressing thanks.

The three of them watched from the side, watching his Wrangler being armored little by little, with steel plates installed all over the body and glass as well.

In particular, there is an observation window in the middle of the steel plate on the front windshield. Although the field of vision is slightly limited, even if a zombie crashes into it, the glass will basically not break.

After those people finished their work, Yukinoshita Haruno stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No. If you need anything, please feel free to let me know." The bearded man in the lead bowed, turned around, got on the light truck with the others, and left.

They disappeared on the distant horizon with the sound of exhaust fumes.

At this time, Uesugi Genshin realized that it was already dawn.

Well, more importantly, he reached out and touched his car, which had changed, and it really made him feel at ease.

Even the bumper was replaced with one that is more suitable for hitting people.

Although it sounds strange to say this, it is true.

"I told them when I got back yesterday." Yukinoshita Haruno stood behind him, her voice light and ethereal.

"They have worked so hard, we should thank them very much." It takes perseverance to get up in the morning.

"No, there's no need to thank them specifically. They are responsible for the maintenance of the vehicles during outbound operations."

I will only work when there is work. If there is no work, I will just rest doing nothing.

However, since there are cars going out every day, they are also responsible for cleaning the cars that come back, so their working hours are basically in the afternoon.

"And I'll go to Sobu High School with you, too."

Hearing what Yukinoshita Haruno said, Uesugi Genshin was a little surprised, "So early?"

Giving him a look that told him not to think too much, Yukinoshita Haruno gave the answer, "Because mother wants to see Yukino-chan."

"Ah..." Uesugi Genshin understood, probably because he was urged, "But should we go to Tokyo first, or come back here first."

"It's up to you to decide." Yukinoshita Haruno spread out her hands. She didn't care much about these details.

She continued, "And we'll meet at the door. I'll bring Ms. Sakurajima with me."

This was her consideration, so that Yuigahama and her daughter would not run into Ms. Sakurajima.

"Ha, I always feel like this is so troublesome." Scratching the back of his hair, Uesugi Genshin felt that this would be a time bomb that might explode at any time.

If Sakurajima's mother didn't stay in Sobu High School, she would most likely return here, after all, she is closer to her daughter.

What if I meet Yuigahama’s mother one day and find out that, ah~, their daughters are in love with the same man.

Oh, that scene is terrifying just to imagine.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

"..."

Now Uesugi Genshin has made up his mind to go back and have Mai confess her feelings to her mother.

...According to Yuigahama's mother, it seems a little too late to confess now.

"Hmm?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked in doubt.

"That's it." Uesugi Genshin rubbed his hands.

"Then get ready. I'll be waiting for you at the door at 7:30."

"Okay." Uesugi Genshin responded.

In fact, it didn’t take long, just about half an hour.

"Goodbye." She turned around without hesitation, her hands still raised, but her steps did not stop.

He walked so decisively, and the swaying hem of his clothes looked very handsome.

"Let's go in too." Looking at Yukinoshita Haruno walking away, Uesugi Genshin said to Hachiman.

"Yeah." After such a long time, his sleepiness has completely disappeared.

When I returned to the room where I slept that night, I saw that Yui and Hiratsuka-sensei had already folded the quilts and were making the bed and putting them away.

Return used items to their original places.

They seemed to have just woken up not long ago.

"Ah, Xuanxin." Yui called out the new name, a little shyly, "Just now I was wondering with Mr. Hiratsuka where you guys were going."

"Well, we went out for a walk." He didn't mention the encounter with Yukinoshita Haruno, "It's almost time to go, Yui, you should say goodbye to your mother."

“Okay.” She was a little disappointed, but cheered up the next second. This is very Yui’s character.

There are not many things that can really make her cry, so never let her be sad, Uesugi Genshin had sworn in his heart before.

Yui ran to Aunt Yuigahama, while Uesugi Genshin, Hachiman, and Mr. Hiratsuka, who had nothing to do, were in front of the temple gate.

Because the temple is very small, there is a road in front of the door, and there is no mountain gate or front yard.

The three of them sat on the wooden steps with the Buddha behind them.

Hachiman held a basket in his arms, which contained his Kamakura. This was the only way he could think of to avoid being scratched by the cat.

As long as there is no direct contact.

"Meow~" Kamakula turned over in the basket, scratched his head with his front paws, and then squinted his eyes lazily.

It's obviously a cat, but it's so kind that Uesugi Genshin didn't know what to say.

All of our luggage is in the car, so we don't need to take anything with us.

"Woof woof" Sabre's voice came, and the wooden floor was filled with fierce drum beats.

"Meow!"

"It's better not to let them meet each other in the future." Uesugi Genshin turned his head and said to Hachiman.

"Yes."

But in fact, Xuan Xin's dog and his cat can't get along with each other.

"Are you really going to take Sabue with you?" Standing up, Uesugi Genshin asked Yui who was walking over.

"Ah."

Because when she was at home, she was the one who walked the dog every day, and it is not wrong to say that it was her who took care of Sabrel.

"Yumiko, does she like dogs?" Pinching his chin with his fingers, Uesugi Genshin thought.

"Sabre is so cute, Yumiko will definitely like it."

"Well, if they don't like dogs, they can just leave them at my place." After all, Yui's place isn't hers alone.

And he lives alone, no problem.

Then again, he never dreamed that he, who loved cats, would half-own a dog first.

“It will definitely be okay.” Yui clenched her fist and waved it gently.

If Yui says it's okay, then it's okay. Besides, Isshiki and Ebina are easy to talk to, so raising a dog is probably not a problem.

"Let's go then. Yang No is waiting for us at the exit."

"Meow!"

"Wang Wang!"

The two pets, under the control of their respective owners, were still restless with each other.

The situation improved after Hachiman put Kamakura in the car, but the trunk of Uesugi Genshin's car was full.

So Sabre had to sit in Hachiman's car.

"I hope everything is okay." After adjusting the rearview mirror, Uesugi Genshin sighed.

"Sable probably wants to play with Kamakura." Yui guessed.
