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

"What were you just saying, English?" Sakuta Azusagawa had the same doubts as the Self-Defense Force officer. What the hell was going on?

"Uh..." With his shoulder still being held, Uesugi Genshin turned to look at him, "English, German and Russian."

"!" Azusagawa Sakuta's neck shrank inwards, "You are so powerful, it turns out that you are not only strong in fighting power."

"I'm also curious about this. How did you learn so many languages ​​at this age?" Eriri's father hugged his shoulders tightly and smiled heartily.

He decided to learn multiple languages ​​when he was in college, and he had a lot of free time at that time.

And this daughter’s friend is a high school student.

"Well, I learned it at the risk of my life." Uesugi Genshin shook his shoulders and answered lightly.

"Very good." Looking at him with great appreciation, Eriri's father curled the corners of his mouth into an appreciative smile, as if he was looking at an outstanding junior.

Because he likes people who work hard. This is an excellent quality that can prove the other person's strong will. After all, who would have nothing better to do than learn a foreign language?

"Have you two known each other before?" Looking at the two people who were behaving in a very friendly and familiar manner, Sakuta Azusagawa asked curiously again.

"Yes." Eriri's father laughed, "Uesugi-kun is my daughter's friend."

"Mr. Spencer's daughter..." Although he had never seen her, Sakuta Azusagawa looked at Mr. Spencer's handsome appearance and guessed that his daughter must be very beautiful as well.

"Speaking of which, Uesugi-kun...you came to my house again later, right?" It was normal for Eriri's father to have such a question. There were two other classmates of his daughter in the villa at that time. Although they had been invited, the two of them did not intend to leave. Now it seems that this decision might be correct in a sense.

"Yes, I also saw the one in the study." Uesugi Genshin gestured with his hand.

"Hey~" Eriri's father smiled knowingly, a smile that showed understanding. The glory of an otaku fell on him. At this moment, he was no longer a British diplomat with aristocratic temperament, but a local otaku with the atmosphere of Akihabara.

"I spent 40 yen to buy that Sazabi." Eriri's father smiled proudly as if he was showing off.

"40..." Although Uesugi Genshin could easily come up with that money, he was still hesitant to use it to buy a Gundam.

But if it is a figure, it’s another matter. It seems that Eriri’s father is far more philanthropic in terms of dimensions than him.

40! When Sakuta Azusagawa heard the other party nonchalantly say that he spent 40 to buy a model, he had a better understanding of Mr. Spencer. It seemed that he came here to be a diplomat because he liked Japanese culture very much.

"Um..." He called out to the two people in front of him, "If there's nothing else for me to do, I'll leave first."

In his mind, accompanying his sister was much more important than staying with these two people.

"Wouldn't you like to chat with us?" Uesugi Genshin tried to persuade him to stay.

"Forget it, I don't want to know so much." Sakuta Azusagawa looked behind him and saw a man running hurriedly. The Self-Defense Force officer named Yamauchi was probably still not very reassured, so he immediately sent a Self-Defense Force member to follow him. How could he listen in under such circumstances?

If he knew something serious, he would probably be silenced.

Not every day, but from time to time he heard news of someone going missing, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

"Then you go first. Thank you for your hard work, Azusagawa-kun." Eriri's father said goodbye to him.

Then, Uesugi Genshin and Azusagawa Sakuta looked at each other and nodded to each other.

"If you need anything, come find me there. You know, just say Three Rivers when you go in." After saying that, Azusagawa Sakuta put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked away in another direction with a unique sense of fatigue.

The Self-Defense Force member had already run up to them and said, "Well, it was Colonel Yamauchi who asked me to follow you."

"It's okay, thank you for your help." Ying Lili's father did not make things difficult for the other party. If he really wanted to be serious, there would be something to worry about every day during this period of time.

Then the other person followed them and the two began to talk in Russian.

Of course, the first thing Uesugi Genshin would say is, "This person probably doesn't understand Russian, right?"

"I don't know." Eriri's father said he didn't know and shook his head, "But I saw his shoulder straps and he should be a non-commissioned officer, and he looks to be in his 30s."

The implication is that the other party must have become a non-commissioned officer by accumulating seniority and does not have any outstanding talents.

But just in case, he looked at Uesugi Genshin and said, "Uesugi-kun, do you know any other languages?"

"I do know a little bit of Latin, but not enough to speak fluently." After all, Latin was the language of God in the Middle Ages, and ordinary people had no way to learn it.

"I also studied Latin, and when I was in college, I majored in classical literature." Eriri's father talked about the past with nostalgia.

After that, he took the civil service exam, became a diplomat, and asked to go to Japan, away from London, the center of British power.

Later, I met Eriri's mother Sayuri Sawamura in Japan. It was love at first sight, and our interests were very similar.

Finally getting married and having a daughter is a perfect life that everyone dreams of!

Uesugi Genshin listened to what he said, and then silently observed the expressions of the Self-Defense Force members behind him. Seeing that they were always confused, Uesugi Genshin realized that they didn't understand what they were saying at all.

The two of them had unknowingly walked to the north of Haneda Airport, and in front of them was the road, or bridge, connecting the airport to the outside world.

Sandbags were piled on the bridge, barbed wire was put up, and a machine gun was set up in the middle, as if it was in a state of strict defense.

"Aren't people allowed to pass through here?" Uesugi Genshin turned his head and asked.

Ying Lili's father raised his chin and motioned him to look into the distance. There happened to be a car parked on the other side of the bridge. People got out of the car and walked towards this side step by step.

“Does anyone come here every day?”

"often."

The people walking over were a young couple, maybe a newly married couple, either way they were a very young man and woman.

The two of them were carrying huge mountaineering bags and holding hands.

From where Uesugi Genshin was standing, the man looked a little thin and was wearing glasses, and he should be an ordinary office worker.

The female part looks particularly beautiful. Even wearing a thick coat, the curve of her chest is still hard to hide, and her face is also that kind of childish and cute.

He watched the two men being stopped by the Self-Defense Force members on duty, and then the man bowed deeply and begged, even kneeling down to sit on the ground.

The woman watched worriedly, feeling a little overwhelmed.

But in the end, with the nod of the Self-Defense Force members, the man stood up happily.

If things had only come to this, it wouldn't seem like there would be any problem.

But afterwards, the Self-Defense Force members helped the woman with her luggage, leaving the man standing outside alone.

Although the woman looked back every few steps to show her reluctance, the man still stood where he was. Perhaps he thought his sacrifice was worthwhile.

Uesugi Genshin turned his head and wanted to say something to Eriri's father, but he saw pity in his eyes and even closed his eyes unable to bear it.

"......" Uesugi Genshin seemed to understand something and looked at the picture again, which was harmonious yet with a hint of disharmony.

He looked at Eriri's father again as if to confirm, "No way?"

The result was a wink from him, which was equivalent to his consent.

"Most people are not like this, for now." Eriri's father denied it aloud, but the denial was not complete.

That is to say, even if military discipline has been corrupted, it is still only a small part now.

"What will happen to that woman in the end?" Uesugi Genshin asked with his head tilted.

"You'll probably end up lying on some sergeant's bed." Eriri's father said softly.

"Won't the people above take action to discipline us?" No one would want a group of ruffians.

"Originally, the combat effectiveness of most of the people in the Self-Defense Force is very average. Isn't this a way to maintain morale?" Eriri's father said jokingly.

"The girl will either be taken to the camp to do some odd jobs first, and then be coerced. Or she will be starved for a few meals, and then the food will be used to seduce her step by step. The rough way is to take her directly to the bedroom now." He listed what might happen next one by one.

"That man thought his wife was safe." Uesugi Genshin looked at the man who was still standing there, watching his partner walk in.

"This is the saddest thing." Eriri's father lowered his eyes.

"Won't you stop it?" asked Uesugi Genshin.

"Maybe both of them would have died soon outside, so now at least one of them can survive, right? This may be what that man was thinking." Eriri's father explained why he didn't stop it.

"If it were me, we would definitely die together." Uesugi Genshin sneered at the other party's behavior.

"Yes, yes." He kept repeating with a dull look in his eyes, until the man and woman disappeared on both sides.

"By the way, Mr. Spencer, aren't you going back to your country? Isn't the purpose of your coming to Haneda Airport to go back to England?" Uesugi Genshin asked the other party why he was still staying in Japan. He originally thought that Eriri and her family had left long ago, but he didn't expect that they were still here.

"I later got news that the situation in China was the same." Eriri's father smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "The royal family and the Royal Navy fled to the Isle of Wight, and the civil servants and the government moved to Wales. As for the army, it is now colluding with the locals in Scotland and has refused to respond to calls for help from the south. It seems that it wants independence."

"I thought Scotland's independence was just to get more resources at home."

As the saying goes, the crying child gets the milk. The Scots must understand that once they become independent from the UK, their international status will be much lower than it is now.

"It was impossible before, but it's not necessarily the case now. Take this place as a good example. The navy cleared the Izu Peninsula, but the army didn't want to lose the right to speak, so it put forward conditions to the other side. In the end, both sides wanted the other side to focus on themselves, so the talks broke down directly." Eriri's father told the joke here.

General Lu thought that he had more people and should lead them all. But the other side thought that since they had conquered the place with great difficulty, how could they give it up?

"By the way, Mr. Spencer, can you get a gun?" Uesugi Genshin asked tentatively.

"If you want, I can get you a standard pistol later, plus matching magazines and bullets." Eriri's father promised very confidently.

"One isn't enough." Uesugi Genshin shook his head, "And I want a rifle."

"That's a bit difficult. You need to come up with something more attractive to them." Eriri's father said meaningfully.

"woman?"

"No, only a small number of people want women now, while most people want..."

Eriri's father clenched his hands and said what most people desire.

"gold."

Chapter 285: Persuading People to Be Good

On the way back, Uesugi Genshin began to think about where he could get a large amount of gold.

At the same time, he also promised that if Eriri's father could really facilitate this arms deal, he would be willing to provide 10% of it as a brokerage fee.

This was readily accepted by the other party because they all understood that there were risks involved.

The existence of intermediaries is necessary, as no one can quickly understand the situation in a place.

If the Self-Defense Force officer you find is a greedy and dishonest person, then there is a high possibility that you will be "robbed by the gangsters" and both sides may suffer losses or lose both their money and their lives.

Eriri's father probably has a target in mind. After asking, it turned out to be true. There is a good partner in the Self-Defense Forces. That person is at least a money-loving officer and has a family.

The reason we had contacted each other before was that the other party wanted to leave a way to the UK.

Another important reason why Eriri's father was stranded in Japan was because the UK had no plans to send a plane to pick him up.

Perhaps they think that the diplomats abroad are not as important as themselves, so at this stage people in the UK still focus on their own country.

But at least they got in touch, which is why the Self-Defense Forces valued Eriri's father.

Given the current environment, it is probably impossible to get foreign aid as all countries are basically unable to take care of themselves.

And if there really is a "change of dynasty" and the officers of the Self-Defense Forces want to establish a military government, then foreign recognition can provide legitimacy for the government, so what they value is Eriri's father's identity as a diplomat.

Even if it is useless at the moment, it is just a matter of feeding a few more people with one meal, so it will always be of some use.

Genshin Uesugi really didn't know whether Eriri's father had the intention to take the family back to England. Even though he said that his country was very chaotic, it could only be seen that he didn't really want to stay at Haneda Airport.

After all, the situation here is not going to get much better, and it may even get worse.

They wandered around the airport aimlessly. Every time they arrived at a place, Eriri's father could tell them something about the situation there. I really didn't know where he got the information from.

I learned from Eriri's father that they were not under house arrest in the terminal and could walk around anywhere as long as they didn't go out.

When we approached the coast where we swam from, there were already Self-Defense Forces guarding the place. As expected, there was no one there because of the rain.

Now that there is no rain, guards have begun to be deployed along the coastline again. Although the density is sparse, because this place is not very important, no one can come or leave from here in broad daylight.

They wandered around until it was getting dark, and then they started walking back.

"Because Officer Yamauchi will be on duty at six o'clock." Blinking his eyes, Eriri's father explained with a smug smile on his face.

"..." Uesugi Genshin was quite speechless. What he meant was that as long as nothing happened while on duty, it didn't matter what happened during the rest time. That was probably what he meant.

Is this the Self-Defense Force? Even in the end times, there hasn’t been much progress.

The shadow of the third terminal can be seen in the distance. The searchlight installed on the fence has been turned on, illuminating the dozens of meters in front of the terminal.

It was not until this time that the Self-Defense Force member following behind them breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed happy that everything was safe.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ying Lili's father turned around and said to him with concern, and said that he should go and report now.

The man confirmed with Eriri's father that he would not hang out outside again, and then planned to go and report, looking like he was in a hurry to get off work.

"Because it's almost time for dinner." Eriri's father teased Uesugi Genshin next to him about the situation of the Self-Defense Forces.
