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

"Well, he said he would confess in the afternoon." I will have to go and supervise in the afternoon.

"That's good. I was originally planning to discuss this with you." I can rest assured for the time being...right?

Otherwise, she would probably really have to stay here.

"Is things not going well for you?" Uesugi Genshin glanced at Hayasaka's profile and asked weakly.

"Well, I guessed it a long time ago." Hayasaka Ai nodded gently to confirm, swinging her legs leisurely, a cute move in line with the JK style, "So it's a big help that you're doing well."

"Then I can rest assured, right?"

"......Um."

Following Hayasaka Ai's response, Uesugi Genshin pursed his lips and smiled, finally being able to relax.

"...Ah, I want to bang my head against the wall."

Just as when you encounter something happy, you will subconsciously do some meaningless big movements, such as meaninglessly punching the air, and if you think back to something that made you feel uncomfortable because of yourself, you will think... I want to die.

"Then go ahead and crash into it." In a sense, it was her own fault. Hayasaka Ai picked up the lunch box next to her and opened it. "Let's eat first."

She read in a tone that was both hopeless and full of expectation, "Jiang Jiang, it's a rice ball."

"You should have seen it in the apartment." Uesugi Genshin sighed helplessly after taking the lunch box handed over by Hayasaka.

After all, they live in the same apartment, so Hayasaka should know exactly what Yukinoshita does.

but......

“It’s a rice ball.”

It was indeed quite unexpected, because we only found flour. Rice became a rare commodity and we didn't eat it very often. The cafeteria mostly served noodles, made into the shape of pasta, or ramen, and bread.

But the gene of liking to eat rice can be said to be engraved in the bones of the Japanese.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, as long as you join the army, you will have rice to eat, regardless of whether it is enough or not, it has great appeal to ordinary people. Even the flour aid from Americans with ulterior motives in the mid-20th century did not change Japan's love for rice.

Rice balls are a national food just like Chinese steamed buns. Everyone likes to eat them.

It is a regular triangle with a circle of seaweed on the outside. When you take a bite, you will find it is full of fillings.

......Isn’t this similar to steamed buns!!!

I thought it was just simple pickled plums, but I didn’t expect it to be so rich.

The first is fish, the second is shellfish, the third is crab, the fourth is shrimp, and the fifth, well, this one is very common, it's seaweed.

"Oh, so luxurious." After eating the last one and licking his fingers, Uesugi Genshin sighed.

"Indeed." Hayasaka Ai couldn't eat anymore after the third one. By the way, she was eating fried fish, pickled vegetables and mentaiko.

"It's so delicious."

"That's right." Hayasaka Ai responded leisurely, crossing her legs happily.

In hot girl mode, her skirt almost reaches her thighs, and the calf socks underneath expose almost her entire white legs, showing the youthful vitality of the girl.

It's a really beautiful view right now.

Chapter 242: Gambling Competition

"I told you not to forget the miso soup, but you still didn't take it."

Just as I was about to pack up my lunch box, Yukinoshita Yukino came running over angrily with a huge thermos in her hand.

Could it be that the miso soup mentioned is in there?

If you make it in the morning, you can still drink it hot at noon.

Compared to a simple cold bento, a steaming hot miso soup would make your stomach feel much more comfortable.

"Sorry, I forgot." Hayasaka Ai replied casually.

She had forgotten what she said, and Uesugi Genshin was very skeptical.

Yukinoshita Yukino glared at Hayasaka, but she showed no guilt at all.

"I'm really grateful for sending it to me." Uesugi Genshin lowered his head respectfully and reached out to take it.

"Ha..." Seeing that this guy was trying to be sly again, Yukinoshita Yukino handed him the thermos and took out two paper cups from somewhere.

"By the way, have you drunk yet?" Uesugi Genshin took the two paper cups handed to him.

"No."

Yukinoshita Yukino was standing right in front of him, looking straight into his eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked away embarrassedly.

So the three of them sat on the bench together and drank the steaming miso soup.

The two girls used paper cups, while Uesugi Genshin used a thermos cup. Although it was called a cup, its capacity was almost the same as that of a bowl, which really gave him the illusion that he was drinking soup.

"What are we going to do this afternoon?" Hayasaka Ai asked, briefly putting down the cup in her hand.

"I'm going to confirm the exchanged materials with Accountant Ishigami here." Blowing hot air, Yukinoshita Yukino told her arrangements.

"I plan to go to the dock and take a look." This was Uesugi Genshin's plan for the afternoon, and he would act together with Shuchiin's people.

Although Baiyin told him not to worry, he still wanted to see it in person.

The distance from Shuchiin to the coastline is quite far. The distance from Sobu High School to the seashore is about 500 meters, but here the straight-line distance is 1.5 kilometers, not to mention the densely packed buildings in the port area.

This is the center of Tokyo.

"What about me?" Hayasaka Ai pointed at herself, as if she was the only one who was fine.

"Do you want to go with me?" Uesugi Genshin raised his head and smiled.

“…Forget it.” She couldn’t reveal her true strength to the students of Shuchiin. If her friends… or classmates knew about it, wouldn’t it mean that she had been pretending all along?

"Then you should have a good rest." Therefore, Uesugi Genshin considerately offered her a vacation.

"Well, that's fine." But suddenly I didn't know what to do. Should I go see my friends? Or should I follow Yukinoshita-san?

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

"Since that guy introduced you, then just follow him." Long Zhutao looked annoyed.

"Is it necessary to have such an annoying expression? I don't seem to have done anything to make you annoyed?" Uesugi Genshin scratched his face. He really didn't do anything.

"Not to you." Turning her head with all her might, Long Zhutao sighed heavily, "Aren't you the one, visiting? Investigating?"

Although he was speaking normally, he gave people the illusion that he was looking for trouble. However, he was actually quite cute, so in Uesugi Genshin's eyes, his personality became a plus.

"more or less."

"Listen carefully, just watch quietly, don't say anything or express anything." Pointing her finger, Long Zhutao warned seriously.

"I just want to take a look at your dock."

"It's best this way." Folding her arms, Long Zhutao whispered to herself, then she glanced at the knife on Uesugi Genshin's waist, "The people here are just a little bit decent, not as powerful as you."

It seems that the people in Shuchiin did not meet her standards, which is why she now lacks confidence.

She didn't think she would make a big fuss about Shuchiin's actions, did she?

"Longzhu-san." A quiet voice came from the side.

"Oh, the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family." Longzhu Tao looked at Shinomiya Kaguya who was coming over and greeted her impolitely.

The name was so long that Uesugi Genshin didn't understand why she didn't just call her Shinomiya.

"Oh, President Uesugi is here too." Kaguya Shinomiya greeted him as if she had just seen him.

"Good afternoon." Uesugi Genshin nodded in response. This was the first time they met.

"Could it be that President Uesugi is going too?" Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head, revealing her doubts.

"Well, I didn't expect that Vice President Shinomiya would also go fight zombies." Seeing the archery gloves on Shinomiya Kaguya's hands and half of the archery uniform on her body, that is, the chest protector part.

For most women, drawing a bow is an action that will hurt their chest, but to be honest, Kaguya Shinomiya should not have this problem.

"Of course, there are no cowards who hide behind in Shuchi-in." Shinomiya Kaguya answered his doubts with narrowed eyes and smiled, "Everyone should contribute to Shuchi-in for everyone. I believe that President Uesugi's Sobu High School is the same."

On the surface, it seemed like polite courtesy, and when executed by Kaguya Shinomiya, it was done with some elegance, but Uesugi Genshin sensed a vague hostility.

"Yes, every character should be used to their full potential. Only those who can do this are qualified leaders. From this point of view, Baiyin has done a good job."

"Can you please stop wasting time?" Long Zhutao interrupted the meaningless conversation that was about to begin.

"Ah, Longzhu-san, this is just normal socializing."

Shinomiya Kaguya chuckled, but to Longzhu Tao, it seemed like a mockery.

"Ah, anyway, I'm just a straight-talking, rude person." She fanned her hands as if to shoo away insects.

"No one said that." Shinomiya Kaguya said softly in distress.

"I like to be straightforward." Uesugi Genshin spread out his palms. "So when do we set off?"

"Everyone is here." After taking a quick look at the number of people around, Long Zhutao called a few team leaders and confirmed with them.

Finally, she asked Kaguya Shinomiya, "Isn't that guy Shirogane coming?"

"Well, the president said there is something to prepare." With an apologetic smile, Kaguya Shinomiya explained.

"Well, he is also a busy man. Anyway, I am the commander." After teasing the person who was not present, Long Zhutao said that it didn't matter if the person didn't come.

"Longzhu-san, everyone from the Archery Team is here." Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at her people and reported to Longzhu Tao.

Uesugi Genshin looked at the people standing next to Shinomiya Kaguya, most of them were girls. Generally speaking, it is normal that there are more girls in Kyudo, because there are more boys in Kendo, and Kyudo is relatively quiet.

When everyone was present, Long Zhutao said, "Let's go."

Walk along the road towards the intersection. You can see the Tokyo Tower from this direction. The Tokyo Tower is in the minato ward and can be seen from almost any location other than the edge of the city.

"President Uesugi, do you want to compete with me?" On the way, Kaguya Shinomiya made the proposal she had planned for a long time.

"If I take action, wouldn't it be a bit like taking over the show?" Uesugi Genshin refused tactfully.

"Alala, are you still afraid of a little girl like me?"

Provoking him is useless.

"How can there be a little girl like you? From what I've observed, your arm muscles are quite strong, not inferior to most men."

The position of the temple instantly formed a tic-tac-toe pattern, but Kaguya Shinomiya didn't think it was a compliment. "So you are afraid of losing?"

"That's not the case." Uesugi Genshin shook his head.

"In that case, why not give it a try? Just in case, I'm still thinking of preparing a jackpot. Ah, why not let the loser obey any request of the winner?"

The dagger is revealed when the picture is fully revealed.

"But I don't want anything." Uesugi Genshin spread his hands and said speechlessly, "On the contrary, it seems that Vice President Shigong has something to ask of me."

“I have a request…” Ah!!! Does this man know how to speak?

"You two look like two stupid men who are jealous of a woman." Long Zhutao, who had been silent before, interrupted the topic at the right time. She turned her head and said to Uesugi Genshin calmly, "To be honest, I also want to see you take action."

"Okay then."

"Hey!" Why did Longzhu say it was okay, but she said it was not okay? Shinomiya Kaguya could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

"Ah~" Seeing that Shinomiya Kaguya was a little angry and stomped her feet, she didn't show it yet, thanks to her own self-restraint. Uesugi Genshin explained, "I just want to have a good relationship with Longzhu classmate."

What does this mean? It means that he doesn’t want to have a good relationship with her anymore. Shinomiya Kaguya almost broke down.

"No, that's not what I meant." Seeing that the other party must have thought wrong, Uesugi Genshin continued to explain, "Longzhu-san hopes to become friends, so it is necessary to deepen the relationship. And Vice President Shinomiya is a friend and lover, so just treat him normally."

"Lover?" Shinomiya Kaguya said in a low voice with a red face.

This guy is pretty good, she thought deep down.

"We have been friends for a long time, haven't we?" Long Zhutao said without any hesitation.

"Yes." Uesugi Genshin agreed.

Everyone came to a crossroads and then walked towards the beach.

The road was very narrow at the beginning, with only two lanes going back and forth. There was nothing in the middle and on both sides. It only took about 10 steps to walk from the building on the left to the building on the right.

After paying attention, I saw a large amount of bloodstains on the ground that had not been cleaned up. It seemed that there had been a lot of fighting on this road.
