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

Chapter 224: Obligations as Lovers

Even with such a disadvantage, she still wanted to win. This is the daughter of the Yukinoshita family.

The obsession of wanting to win drove her to hold the knife tightly in her hand. The sweat from her palms had soaked her caged hand, causing it to feel delicate.

The other party should be the same, but their physical strength is obviously not on the same level. It turns out that a month's exercise is not enough.

She sighed secretly in her heart. The abdominal muscles that she secretly touched last time were not developed in just one month. He must have been exercising regularly. Where did such a high level of self-awareness and self-discipline come from?

Slowly approach until the tip of the sword is facing the tip of the sword, and you can attack the opponent with just one step. This is called one foot and one sword in kendo.

It was at this distance that Yukinoshita Haruno pushed away his sword and began to attack, but Uesugi Genshin took advantage of the situation and slashed horizontally, interrupting the opponent's posture and preventing him from continuing to attack.

After a brief confrontation, the two returned to the starting point.

In an instant, she pushed the ground hard with her feet, and Yukinoshita Haruno's sword slashed towards the opponent's chest. The trajectory never left the central axis, and she was able to protect herself to the maximum extent.

Uesugi Genshin drew his sword and slashed back, and the speed in an instant turned into an afterimage in the eyes of the onlookers.

In just a blink of an eye, a crisp breaking sound was heard, and they saw that the wooden sword broke.

The broken piece spun and hit the ground, making a resounding sound in the silent dojo. Everyone's eyes were fixed on that place.

The next second, they exclaimed at the same time.

"really?"

"Hey hey..."

“It’s unbelievable.”

"I didn't expect it to break."

"......So scary." Whether it refers to the battle or the person, only the person himself knows.

She swung the wooden sword which had become much lighter, but it no longer made the whistling sound of breaking wind. Yukinoshita Haruno sighed, wondering when was the last time she felt so unwilling.

"Let's call it a draw." Lowering his wrist, Uesugi Genshin announced the result of the battle.

"Well, thank you for showing mercy."

Listening to Yukinoshita Haruno's cheerful voice, he shook his head and said modestly: "No, I'm also trying my best."

"Yes, yes..." Since she was not trying her best to defeat her, Yukinoshita Haruno narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Only if the opponent attacks with all his strength will Uesugi Genshin have a chance of breaking the wooden sword in Yukinoshita Haruno's hand, allowing the battle between the two sides to end decently.

Yang Noi probably guessed it, otherwise she wouldn't have cooperated with me so well.

...Should there be? Suddenly, Uesugi Genshin looked at the other party with suspicion.

At this time, Yukinoshita Haruno took off her mask and shook her ponytail.

The sweat on the face presents a wet beauty, so healthy, this is bodybuilding.

Realizing that she was being looked at, Yukinoshita Haruno looked over at her with her eyes curved in a smile, but that smile gave her an indescribable feeling, like the itchy feeling when a frozen hand touches a warm place.

Is this really a smile?

Shaking his head and giving up thinking, Uesugi Genshin also took off his noodles. The cool air instantly rushed in, and the feeling of a broadened vision seemed to liberate him.

He handed the wooden sword to Hayasaka who was stepping forward, and at the same time took off the not-so-flexible protective gear. It seemed cumbersome to protect himself, not to mention that Yukinoshita Haruno didn't hit him even once.

It's still more comfortable not wearing anything. Her back and forehead are all sweaty. She tugged at her collar to let in air and took the towel handed to her by Mai. Her eyes were swaying and she looked very happy, as if to say, "In the end, I finally won."

"It's okay, dismiss." Speaking to his subordinates who had gathered around him, Uesugi Genshin carried his protective gear to the wall inside and then put it down. People from the Ministry of Health would come and clean it later.

"oh oh."

Then everyone took off their protective gear and walked out, except for Hachiman, Mai, and... Zaimokuza Yoshiki

"Zaimokuza, you are already a qualified strong man." Uesugi Genshin stepped forward and patted his arm.

It turns out that even if a fat person loses 100 pounds, he will still be fat.

Looking at his square face which was gradually becoming more defined, Uesugi Genshin knew that this man would never be able to lose weight and become a handsome man, and his shadow was disappearing on the road to becoming a muscular man.

"Is this a compliment?" Zaimokuza asked doubtfully, raising his glasses.

"Of course it's a compliment." Hachiman smiled. What do you think he has been doing as a supervisor for the past month?

After living together, I have enough time and energy to supervise him better, and I take great credit for his current weight loss.

"From now on, Hachiman will continue to supervise you in the apartment. There is no need for additional training."

"Really?" The little eyes were full of surprise.

"Hmm~" Uesugi Genshin replied to Zaimokuza using his own habit of speaking and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Hmm~~~" He put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly again, tears welling up in Zaimokuza's eyes, "As expected of me! I managed to survive such a dark day."

He recited a poem aloud, "The drizzle and dew in May are still strong, and I send my name to the cuckoo wings, soaring into the sky."

"Isn't this a farewell poem, idiot? You used it in the wrong place." Hachiman, who was well versed in history, immediately remembered that this was the poem written by the swordsman general Ashikaga Yoshiteru when he fought against the army of Matsunaga Hisahide, the number one villain in the Warring States Period, in his own residence. It was said that it was written on his wife's sleeve.

"Yeah, very handsome, isn't it, me!"

He showed no remorse and even smiled at him with his front teeth showing. Hachiman felt tired at this moment. If he continued to reduce his diet for a while, when he developed a habit, he would be able to move out.

He was thinking this, and then there was a knock on the door frame, which made him look towards the door.

"Why are you here?" The person who came was Saki Kawasaki. Hachiman looked around him and thought that she was probably looking for him, not someone else.

"Well, I have something to talk to you about." As usual, his tone sounded unhappy but hesitant.

"Oh." Hachiman responded without thinking too much, and walked out. Then he saw Ebina hiding behind Kawasaki, "Eh..."

"Hello~" Hina Ebina greeted when she found that she couldn't hide. Was it because she couldn't hide or she didn't intend to hide at all?

"Zaimokuza is gone." Hachiman turned and shouted to Zaimokuza Yoshiteru, hoping that he could break the deadlock.

"Oh!" Just as Zaimokuza Yoshiki, who couldn't read the air, walked to Hachiman's side.

Kawasaki Saki said directly and clearly, "I just want to find you alone."

"Well... I'll take my leave first." Now he finally understood. Zaimokuza Yoshiki gave Hachiman a cool look, then left first in a nonchalant manner.

Looking at the hunched back of Hachiman who was walking at the end, Uesugi Genshin sighed with gloating, "What a disaster."

"Did something happen to them?" Mai asked assertively as he looked over there.

"Something happened." Confirming her guess, Uesugi Genshin looked at her sideways, "The end of the world really changed a lot of things."

It provides a catalyst for a relationship that has no progress, and makes it easier to express the vague feelings that are not aware of.

If you treat today as if it were your last day, the world would change.

"It's like this." Mai raised her head slightly. Although it was not common, she knew that the two girls seemed to have a good relationship with her lover's friends, so they really had love problems.

She turned to look at her lover, "Mom, we'll be leaving soon."

"Then I'll go and deliver it too."

"Well, she plans to work for the Chiba Self-Help Committee. It is said that Mrs. Yukinoshita there is very optimistic about her appearance."

"Is that so?" After all, they are both strong women and should have a lot in common.

Moreover, most of the women there are unemployed, so perhaps they need such a capable woman to take charge of things that are difficult for men to handle.

He brought up another thing, "I would be even more lonely tonight without you."

Mai's fingers slipped between his.

Fingers intertwined.

My heartbeat is accelerating.

"You're not lonely at all, are you?" There was something else in his words.

Although he used force with his fingers, Uesugi Genshin didn't feel any pain. This was also a way of acting coquettishly.

As Mai said this, her profile looked a little shy, which surprised him.

At the same time, he seemed to be somewhat happy to see Uesugi Genshin's surprised expression.

"I see. I was supposed to accompany you tonight."

Hearing the throbbing in his heart and looking at the empty dojo, Uesugi Genshin said nonchalantly, "Tell me, do you want us to..."

Then she was stepped on. Because she was wearing pants, she was not wearing pantyhose, so the touch was a little not so perfect. She glared at herself.

"Let's go! I'll go back and take a shower first. I'm all sweaty and dirty. Then I'll go see mom off."

As she spoke, she pulled him forward.

"Really not..."

"what do you want to say?"

With an expression that seemed to indicate he was about to get angry if he continued, Uesugi Genshin realized that he could not unlock the special scene.

"Nothing." In a sullen tone.

The hand was gently squeezed again.

-----------------

"It's very slow, Mai." Mai's mother naturally glanced at the two people holding hands.

She was standing in front of the car with her arms folded, and her black clothes showed off the charm of a mature woman.

Will Mai be like this in the future? Uesugi Genshin couldn't help but imagine the future.

"Didn't we agree on 10:?" Although she had to spend a lot of time in the bathroom because of someone, Mai glanced at Uesugi Genshin.

Uesugi Genshin wanted to respond with a playful smile, but Mai's eyes told him "don't do anything unnecessary", so he followed suit and was very obedient, like a dog that had its fill of bones. He thought this metaphor was very appropriate.

"Really? Never mind." Mai's mother seemed relieved. She looked at her watch again and said, "It's almost time to go."

Without waiting for Mai to reply, Mai's mother opened the car door.

After getting in the driver's seat, she looked up at Mai who was standing next to the car before closing the door and said, "You may not have the same taste for men as I do. Be careful not to let him be too unfaithful."

I didn't expect her to say such words. Uesugi Genshin didn't know how to react, and he was a little embarrassed, which was unusual for him.

It’s indeed the mother.

"No problem at all." Mai responded decisively without even looking at her mother.

“You are really confident.” Mai’s mother sighed, her tone mixed with complexity and amusement.

"After all, I believe in his vision."

Of course, Uesugi Genshin has very high standards. Ordinary pretty girls would never catch his eye, not just looks. As he had said to Yumiko before, if he doesn't know any of them, he will just pass them by. Besides, his heart is so small that if he cuts it a few more times it will be completely shattered.

"You say that, but given your character, you will definitely keep a close watch on him."

Mai's mother said this as if she had seen through everything.

"this......"

Mai was at a loss for words when her sore spot was touched. However...

"At least I won't give him the feeling of restraint like you do."

She immediately made a rebuttal in a low voice, of course not referring to her mother's divorce, but to herself.

Mai's mother no longer paid attention to Mai, who felt she was in the wrong, and turned to look at Uesugi Genshin and said with an indifferent expression.

"Hyun Shin-kun." Mai's mother turned her gaze towards him.

"Oh, okay." Having fallen in love with her daughter after all, Uesugi Genshin bowed respectfully.

"As you can see, my daughter is willful and difficult to serve, but I still trouble you to take care of her."

It was a reasonable statement. Uesugi Genshin had roughly guessed that at this point she would not object to their relationship, and might have made some statement about his private life, but now her words made Uesugi Genshin feel that his worries were in vain.

"I'll do my best."

By the time Uesugi Genshin made this promise, Mai's mother had already closed the car door, fastened her seat belt, and stepped on the accelerator.

So she must have heard it.

Watching the car drive out of the wall, Uesugi Genshin asked the students of Sobu High School to seal the exit with barriers again.

"Mai, please quit the executive department."
