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

"Ah, what a good thing Yamauchi and the others did." Karuizawa Hui sighed and asked out of curiosity, "Matsushita, you went to find that person too, right?"

“…Yes.”

"How about it?"

"......, is it okay?" After thinking about it, Matsushita Chiaki smiled bitterly.

She didn't even know that Ayanokouji in their class was such a scary person.

"Hmm? I didn't understand. Did the other party make things difficult for you?" Karuizawa Megumi asked with concern. After all, Kushida sounded so serious.

"No,...it's more like you're quite gentle." Chiaki Matsushita blushed slightly, looked away, and subconsciously closed her hands and placed them on her legs.

Thinking about it now, my heart is still pounding and my face is extremely hot.

This is the first time I met such a mysterious boy in my life, and I couldn’t help but feel curious.

"gentle?"

This made Karuizawa Megumi and Sato Maya look at each other in confusion.

Totally unimaginable, okay!

How could the other party be associated with this word?

"Matsushita, didn't you reject the other party?"

"Ah..." Chiaki Matsushita finally realized that she had forgotten about this.

After she explained, Karuizawa Hui said nonchalantly: "The clothes in the washing machine are his, right?"

"Yeah, it got dirty accidentally. I'll hand wash it and dry it later, then send it to him."

That's what Chiaki Matsushita planned.

She didn't throw it into the washing machine with her own clothes simply because she herself hated how dirty her clothes were.

"Eh~" Karuizawa Megumi sighed delicately, and at the dinner table she talked about Kushida-san again, "...It seems like it's not possible for everyone to leave together."

"Is that person called Uesugi?" Focusing on another point, Chiaki Matsushita muttered softly.

"What?" Karuizawa Kei felt a little suspicious.

"No, nothing." Chiaki Matsushita shook her head.

"Matsushita, I tell you not to refuse since you haven't said it out loud." Sato Maya said, hugging her curled up legs.

"Yes." Karuizawa Kei agreed. It was something worth celebrating to be able to leave here. At least it was good that Panasonic could leave here.

"......" Matsushita Chiaki put her finger on her cheek and thought for a while, then suggested, "Since Kushida-san also said that Uesugi-kun is responsible for this matter, why don't we go find him?"

"Is it necessary?" Karuizawa Hui felt that it was a futile effort.

"That person looks a little scary~" Maya Sato expressed her concerns.

"It just looks like the other person should be the type that is easy to talk to." Waving her hands, Chiaki Matsushita indicated that that was not the case.

Under the gentle sunshine, his smiling face and the fragrance of the wind were even a little dreamy.

Maybe you will have sweet dreams at night.

Chapter 264: Power and Strength

"Wait, Kamuro-san. You just said they mentioned the White House, right?" Arisu Sakayanagi was listening to Kamuro Masumi's report, but unexpectedly heard a key point.

"Yes, they did say White Room."

Is there something wrong with this? It's rare to see Sakayanagi's emotions fluctuate like this.

The last time was probably when zombies suddenly appeared and he could only rely on himself in such a mess (from Kamuro’s perspective). Masumi Kamuro still remembers it very clearly.

It was clear that they had only known each other for a short time. I still remember that when they first met, she was caught stealing from a convenience store.

And she said it in a very remarkable manner.

I like you, Kamuro Masumi-san. You have to be my first friend.

What did you say?

I will keep your secret, in return, please help me do something.

This is not called a friend.

is it?

Besides, do you think I will listen to you obediently?

So why didn't I abandon her when the school was in chaos?

Masumi Kamuro couldn't figure it out.

"What does that guy look like?"

Facing Sakayanagi's anxious question, Kamuro Masumi came back to his senses and continued reporting.

Brown hair, golden eyes, only slightly shorter than the man named Uesugi, estimated to be over 1.7 meters tall, with a pretty good face, except that it has no expression and has dead eyes. Anyway, she herself doesn't like it very much.

After saying that, Kamuro Masumi saw Sakayanagi clenching the cane in his hand again.

"You go on."

As Kamuro stopped, Sakayanagi Arisu rubbed his cane and urged him on.

"Yes."

She went on to talk about the conversation between the two and their subsequent duel, which allowed her to witness unique and superb swordsmanship.

"That's because you are too ignorant, Kamuro-san. Some older 'Sword Saints' also have such strength." Sakayanagi Arisu laughed.

But they are still students!

Masumi Kamuro complained strongly in her heart. Although she didn't know how old the man named Uesugi was, she could tell that he was very young, perhaps only a little older than herself. The other man was a student from her school, which means he was a high school student in the true sense of the word.

Comparing them to the so-called 'Sword Master' is a bit too outrageous.

"You mean they already have the strength of a sword saint." Kamuro Masumi discovered the meaning behind Sakayanagi's words.

"Sakayanagi-san, you still haven't recognized who that man named Uesugi is?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked in a surprised tone, as if to say that she was stupid.

"Who?"

"No." Sakayanagi Arisu shook his head, not intending to explain, "Go on."

Then Kamuro Masumi started talking about the final victory or defeat again.

"Lost?" Arisu Sakayanagi widened her eyes in disbelief because she had guessed the ending wrong.

"Yes, our school lost." Is it so unbelievable?

Kamuro Masumi looked at Sakayanagi in confusion, "Sakayanagi, you also know that guy from our school?"

"Well... I guess we know each other."

The surprise and joy of meeting again suddenly became dull.

Throughout his life, Arisu Sakayanagi has always had one goal in mind, which is to use his natural talent to defeat the fake genius.

She firmly believes that talents are determined at birth and cannot be changed by DNA.

And witnessing the perfect invincibility of the artificial genius in the White Room seemed to say that her belief was wrong.

I originally planned to wait until I became an adult or went to college before challenging him.

But now it seems that it is no longer necessary, because Ayanokouji-kun is not unique. Can a defeated genius still be called perfect?

The so-called strongest devil in the White House is not the one standing at the top of humanity.

And after experiencing the disaster a month ago, my thoughts have also changed a little.

This was a fact that she had clearly recognized in the past, but it was only because of her poor health that she began to doubt it for the first time. If physical ability was also a kind of talent, then would she, with her intact heart, no longer be held back by her body?

Because no matter how useful the subordinates are, they cannot replace real hands and feet.

He ordered Kamuro-san to take him to a safe place, but an accident almost happened on the way.

If Kamuro-san hadn't killed the zombie, I would have probably become that ugly person who couldn't accept it no matter what.

The result of my thinking is that I am probably smart, and the other half is incomplete and cannot make up for it.

Can I still be considered a natural genius?

"..."

"......" Kamuro Masumi quietly looked at Sakayanagi who was thinking about something.

It wasn't until Sakayanagi Arisu realized that so much time had passed that he said, "Oh my god."

It's been a long time since I lost my temper like this.

"What should we do next?" Kamuro Masumi knew that he was not very smart, so he let Sakayanagi do the thinking.

"Yes..." The man Uesugi said that if he went there, he would be the vice president.

but......

"That man can't be trusted yet."

“Is that so?” But in reality, Sakayanagi has never trusted anyone. Kamuro Masumi lowered his eyes in self-mockery.

"So, Kamuro-san, please continue to monitor."

"No, I've been discovered. The other party will probably be more alert, right?" She expressed her concerns.

"Yes. But what if we bring it up in person? Hehehe~"

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

"Why are you here?" Ju Qian looked at the man, holding a stack of documents tightly in her hands, and was very alert.

"Uh, don't be so nervous." He didn't do anything to deserve this kind of treatment.

"I'm sorry." Realizing immediately that she had gone a little too far, Ju Qian apologized and relaxed her body.

After all, this person helped his junior schoolmate.

Uesugi Genshin looked around and asked casually, "Where's Horikita-kun?"

"As for Horikita-kun, he's outside now. What do you want to talk to him about?"

Outside is the other side of the artificial island, on the coast of Tokyo.

"Hey..., aren't you calling me president?" Uesugi Genshin teased after discovering something else.

"That's when I was working." Holding her head high, Akane Tachibana said matter-of-factly, "So, what's going on?"

"What should I do with that psychopathic stalker I caught?"

This was the reason why he came here. He had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well come and supervise and vent his anger for Yukinoshita and Sakura.

Although, the only person who can please her is Yukinoshita, and Sakura, a timid child, probably won't find this very pleasing.

"This is for Horikita-kun to decide." Tachibana Akane said conservatively.

"How do you usually deal with something like this?" Uesugi Genshin asked curiously.

"It depends, but I can't say for sure about that."

Ordinary stalking is at most motivated by sexual intent, but the act of secretly filming someone is truly motivated by ulterior motives.

Law enforcement officers are checking items in his residence to see if they can find further evidence of his crime.

"Eh~" Uesugi Genshin made an inexplicable sound. He sensed Tachibana Akane's kindness, or weakness. Even if she could really sentence her to death, she would only say that it was up to Horikita-kun to decide.

Unlike Yukinoshita, Tachibana-san can't say that.

"What's wrong?" Feeling always looked down upon, Ju Qian glared at him angrily.

"Then I'll wait for him here. When will he come back?" Turning his head, Uesugi Genshin ignored her sulking.
