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

"You're going to die."

Facing her brother's warning, Horikita Suzune nodded and said, "I'm ready. This is my decision and I won't regret it. If I die over there, please don't blame anyone. It's just that I'm too weak."

She stared into her brother's eyes and said solemnly: "Rather than being a burden here, I hope to stand up with my own strength in another place."

"You are not a burden, you are my sister." Horikita Manabu finally said it.

However, what he faced was the silence of Horikita Suzune. Although she lowered her head and tears fell like a curtain of water, she still bit her lips tightly and did not let go.

"Ha..." Faced with such a stubborn sister, Horikita Manabu turned his head and looked at Uesugi Genshin, "I'll leave her in your care."

"I don't know how to take care of you." Uesugi Genshin shook his head with a calm face.

"As long as she is prepared to go to the battlefield, that way even if she dies, I... won't regret my decision today."

"I can guarantee that." Uesugi Genshin promised seriously.

Horikita Suzune looked up at her brother in a daze.

"...Suzune." Horikita Manabu pushed his glasses and looked at his sister helplessly, "Keep doing your best when you get there."

"Yes, yes!" Faced with her brother's encouragement, Horikita Suzune burst into laughter. Although her eyes were red from crying and her sleeves were covered with snot, she had gained something important today.

"This is your own decision today. You have always been imitating me in the past. You still have to walk your own path in the future."

Horikita Manabu, who was about to leave, finally gave his advice.

Horikita Suzune bowed and bid farewell to her brother.

A tissue was handed to me and appeared in my field of vision.

"Give."

"Thank you." After taking it, Horikita Suzune wiped her eyes and nose. At the same time, she couldn't help but blush when she showed such an embarrassing appearance in front of someone she just met.

"Horikita-san." I was about to ask her what she was going to do.

"Just call me Lingyin."

"Ok?"

"My brother and I have the same last name, right? And you helped me a lot today." She awkwardly grasped the hem of her skirt and squeezed it together, exposing a larger area of ​​her fair thighs, which was called the absolute territory.

Horikita Suzune lowered her head, and the blush on her face became even more charming.

"So just call me Lingyin."

Chapter 270: Looking for Help

"Of course, this doesn't have any special meaning. I'm just calling you by your name. Please don't get me wrong."

Horikita Suzune had an awkward posture, her beautiful legs with graceful lines and well-proportioned shape were spread apart, but her feet in the uniform shoes were involuntarily closed inwards. While talking, she looked into his eyes, but unconsciously shifted her gaze.

"Also, even if I go to Chiba, it doesn't mean I will obey you. At best, we are just companions. If you have any wrong instructions, I will not follow them."

"But I still want to thank you." She had no idea where to put her hands, so she once again clenched her skirt. She glanced at Uesugi Genshin shyly, "Thank you."

This seemed exceptionally polite, and the aloof air that he had exuded before was completely gone, replaced by an inexplicable cuteness.

"Thanks to you, my brother gave me some encouraging words. He hasn't been close to me since I grew up, let alone like he did just now."

As she spoke, she lowered her head again, her face looking a little gloomy.

"Horikita-kun, he just doesn't want you to imitate him. He still cares about you." Uesugi Genshin comforted her.

"......Um."

"Let's go." Turning around, Uesugi Genshin pointed ahead and said.

"Where are you going?" Horikita Suzune ran to his side in small steps and followed closely behind him, but the distance was a little awkward, and the clothes on her arms rubbed against his.

"dormitory."

"Um..." She just overheard that all her things seemed to have been thrown out by her classmates in Class D.

"Your luggage should be with Ichinose." As he said this, Uesugi Genshin looked at Kamuro, who was much closer to him, only about the same height as his shoulder.

After understanding, Kamuro Masumi took out his cell phone and contacted Ichinose again.

"Suzune, you should live with Ichinose for the time being." Turning his head to look at her, Uesugi Genshin suggested calmly.

"I'm not familiar with her." Horikita Suzune was a little worried.

"......, I still like your previous rebellious look." Is this a bit of an overreaction now?

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Horikita Suzune glared at him angrily. She must be angry because unruly is not a good word.

"Hahaha......"

"Let me make it clear first, I don't think I did anything wrong before, at most I was immature."

The mistakes that everyone makes in youth are called immaturity.

Growing up means not being able to see your past self

"Yes, yes. But Ichinose is a kind-hearted girl. If you live there, you don't have to get along with her in a friendly way, but at least don't hurt her feelings, okay?" Uesugi Genshin reminded Suzune.

"I know." Ichinose had been helping out in the student council, so he knew her well.

And she is not the same person anymore.

"Well, as for the others, just don't make things difficult for Ichinose, and the rest is up to you." It's highly likely that the other people in Class B will not have any interactions with each other in the future, so there's no need to make close friends with them.

"That's easy." Horikita Suzune nodded in response. She understood what he meant. It was just to get along well with Ichinose alone. "But a girl named Sakura from our class is also there, right?"

"Ah."

"Can I ask you why you chose her?" She had been thinking about this for a whole day but couldn't figure it out. Sakura was an inconspicuous girl in her class. She always kept her eyes down and hunched her back, as if she was curled up in a corner.

"Well, we will have a consolation performance, but only one idol group from Tokyo will be able to perform. Don't look at Sakura like that, she is actually a print model and internet idol, and she is very popular."

"I see." Horikita Suzune nodded in understanding, "That's why you chose her."

"Then why didn't you choose me in the beginning?" She also asked about her own affairs, which also made her very conflicted, and now she could finally ask it out loud.

"Because I already knew that you were Horikita-kun's sister." Facing her unusually direct question, Uesugi Genshin answered, "So I have to consider your brother."

So that's how it is. Horikita Suzune breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "What should I do when I get there? Should I fight the zombies, right?"

"Just follow me, and you will be directly under me. You are not capable of leading the team for the time being, and there are other more suitable candidates. Just follow me wherever I tell you to go. It's simple, right?"

"Yeah, it's really simple." Just like before, I just need to focus on my own business.

"Ichinose is still in the dormitory. Horikita's luggage has indeed been put away by her." After putting away the phone, Kamuro Masumi reported.

"..., there is another thing." Horikita Suzune looked at him from beside her, as if she was very concerned. "What did you mean when brother just said that someone framed me?"

"Literally." Uesugi Genshin shrugged and said.

"Who is it?" She couldn't understand who could have such a great hatred towards her.

"Kushida Kikyo."

"It's her?! Why?" She didn't remember provoking the other party. Instead, it was Kushida who had been pestering her for some reason at the beginning of the school year.

"Because she was a celebrity in your middle school, a notorious one." Uesugi Genshin looked at her and asked if she knew.

Horikita Suzune shook her head and said, "So what did she do to drive me away like this?"

"Ah..., her cuteness is fake. She is actually a perverse person, but she enjoys being the center of attention. She also vents her accumulated stress online, and people find out that it contains all kinds of class secrets. When she is criticized by her classmates, she reveals their dirty deeds, which results in a fight in the class."

"I know about this matter. It turns out that it was done by Kushida." After all, it was a big event that shocked the entire school. She had heard about it, but it was just hearsay. She didn't have many friends in middle school, and no one told her about it in detail. She only found out the details just now.

"Well, she's afraid that her dark history will be exposed, so she's trying every way to get you away."

This made sense. To be honest, it was hard for her to connect the gentle image of Kushida in her class with his deeds in middle school. Although she had vaguely sensed that she had contacted her with ulterior motives, but... now she finally understood.

The culprit who made me so embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Do you want revenge?" After a period of silence, Uesugi Genshin smiled, sensing her anger.

"Of course I did." How could I not think about it? Just for this inexplicable reason that I clearly didn't understand, he did such a bad thing to me.

A despicable person who only knows how to play tricks behind the scenes.

Feeling that the corner of his clothes was pulled by Horikita Suzune, Uesugi Genshin turned his head and found that she was staring at him. Her delicate eyes seemed to say, "Think of a solution."

She said stubbornly: "I owe you one."

Well, they are my subordinates after all.

Chapter 271: Any Price

Rubbing his nose, Uesugi Genshin thought for a while. Horikita Suzune and Kamuro Masumi also stopped and waited for him quietly.

Masumi Kamuro was also very curious about what he would do.

Do you do it yourself, or direct your subordinates to do it?

Now she is considered Uesugi's subordinate, so he won't order her to go in the end, right?

As he took another step forward, Horikita Suzune knew that he had indeed figured out a solution, and followed him decisively in small steps.

"Her goal is to separate you from her. She might have wanted you to drop out of school before, but now she just saw an opportunity in me and took advantage of it to attack you. Since she doesn't know that you really want to leave, you should ask Kushida out alone and tell her that you don't plan to leave. Use her dark history as a threat and make her come to me with no other options. I will teach her a lesson."

"No one will believe me, right?"

"Well, I've asked Ichinose to spread the news about this, but to be honest, Ichinose won't use any insidious tricks. She will most likely accuse the other party in person. Maybe only Class D will know about this, but you can make good use of the fact that your brother is Horikita Manabu."

If Kikyo Kushida still wants to stay here, she should be able to understand the price of offending the leader here.

At this point, Horikita Suzune understood that she could handle the rest by herself, and then she asked, "What about the others?"

She couldn't pretend she didn't hear anything about the looks of the other people in the class, especially the insults to her personality.

Ah, it's really vindictive, but Uesugi Genshin didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

She always expresses her inner feelings directly and never beats around the bush. This is the real Horikita Suzune.

"The boys are easy. They might still support Kushida even though she's acting cute. I'll have Ryuen from Class C teach them a lesson. The girls are a little more troublesome. Once they know the truth and know they've been fooled, they'll immediately turn against Kushida. But it's hard for me to punish them."

Because the boys like Yamauchi and Ikekuan just beat them up, and no one cares even if they see it.

As for the girls, he couldn't let Ryuuen take action, as it would lower his leadership style. Although he could let the girls from Class C do it, the impact of a girl being beaten and a boy being beaten would be different.

"Girls' tempers are more terrifying than boys'." Masumi Kamuro said from the side.

There are two people around me, one is a boy and the other has no friends. They don’t know that if girls fall out with each other, it’s like a mortal feud. That matter will not pass easily and it will be remembered as a terrible thing for a lifetime.

Nodding, Horikita Suzune said, "Let's do this for now."

"Ah."

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

"Ah, it's coming."

When I rang the doorbell of Ichinose's dormitory, Ichinose Genki's voice came from the other side of the door.

She opened the door, her pink-gold hair poked out from inside, and she smiled at Horikita Suzune, who was here for the first time, and said, "Welcome, Horikita-san. Everyone, please come in."

"No, I..." Uesugi Genshin originally didn't plan to go in. He wanted to leave after saying something about Horikita, but the clothes on his back were pulled. Kamuro would not do that, so it must be another person.

Turning his head to look at her pretty face with her head lowered to the other side, Uesugi Genshin wanted to complain to her strongly in his heart, "Are you a child?!"

Horikita Suzune saw that he was planning to entrust her to Ichinose directly. What on earth was he thinking of leaving her here so abruptly? !

"......, sorry to bother you." After a light cough, Uesugi Genshin responded helplessly.

"Hey, hey." Ichinose Honami, who was wearing casual clothes, opened the door and greeted them with her usual smile.

Just by walking into the aisle, Uesugi Genshin could smell a mixed fragrance, the scents of many young girls intertwined together, soft and warm, like the morning dew in midsummer, making people feel hot but also with a hint of coolness.

"Yo~"

As soon as he walked into the room, he saw Yukinoshita, Sakura and another girl playing poker around a small table. The empty cards in their hands were covered. Ichinose must have run over to open the door for him when they were halfway through the game.

"Hello, Uesugi-kun." Sakura Airi greeted hurriedly.
