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

As for Hayasaka Ai, Horikita Suzune, and Kamuro Masumi, they had no hesitation at all and directly took the cup from Yukinoshita.

Ying Lili was ignored. She had taken medicine and had a cold and fever, so she couldn't drink alcohol.

Originally, she had no appetite because of her fever, but because she had dinner very late, she was already hungry and had lost some appetite.

After filling her own cup, Yukinoshita Yukino opened the lid of the Sukiyaki pot.

Add appropriate amount of soy sauce, mirin, cooking wine and other seasonings, bring to a boil, then add the vegetables and continue cooking. The soup base is mostly the natural juice released after the vegetables are boiled.

There was a bubbling sound coming from the pot, and along with white steam, the aroma of the ingredients wafted into the room.

White tofu fried until slightly golden on both sides, shiitake mushrooms cut in a cross shape, green lettuce soaked up the soup, bamboo shrimps with their backs opened and the shrimp threads removed, and marbling beef with alternating fat and lean texture.

Because there was not enough space in one pot, there was a whole plate of beef next to it, which was at least A5 grade Wagyu beef. This was also brought by Yang No, but Yukinoshita never ate it.

As expected of Yukinoshita's elder sister, if she simply came to tease her younger sister, she would be a bad guest, but if she brought gifts, the nature of the situation would change a little.

"I'm gonna start now."

Seven people said together.

It’s a pity that there are no sterilized eggs, which is what Uesugi Genshin regrets. He picked up the rice and picked up a piece of beef.

Take a bite, the delicious beef blooms in your mouth, paired with the sweet sauce, and then take a bite of rice, this is the charm of Sukiyaki!

"It's delicious!" Ichinose Honami smiled happily, expressing her thoughts frankly.

"Yeah, it's really delicious." Ying Lili also nodded, feeling that gastric juice had begun to be secreted, and her appetite was coming back!!!

Of course, in addition to the main dish Sukiyaki, there are also fried chicken, French fries, twice-cooked pork, Chikuzen-nabe... and runny omelette rice.

"Don't forget to eat your omelette rice." Uesugi Genshin handed the plate to Eriri, along with the ketchup, "Do you want me to write something with the ketchup?"

"Write what?"

Uesugi Genshin said with a sly smile: "Infuse the magic of love."

This is what he learned when he was in a maid cafe with Tomoya Aki, and the two of them who had been to the maid cafe together naturally became closer after that.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Eriri whimpered as she pinched her chopsticks, blushing easily, "I'll add it myself!"

As she said this, she snatched the ketchup from his hand.

He quickly painted three wavy lines, then used a spoon to gently scoop up a spoonful from the edge and put it into his mouth.

...It's delicious. This one is delicious too.

"This is the man who made the omelette rice." Yukinoshita Yukino pointed at Uesugi Genshin and said, "And the twice-cooked pork."

Although fried chicken and French fries are also included, how should I put it? Compared with the previous two, they don’t require much technical content.

"Let me have a taste." Horikita Suzune, who was sitting next to Eriri, picked up a spoon and asked Eriri for some omelette rice. She put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully. "It's really well cooked."

This man is so good at cooking, which makes her a little discouraged.

Hayasaka Ai picked up the twice-cooked pork, which was made from beautiful small pieces of pork belly. Needless to say, the taste was salty and delicious, and it went very well with rice.

At this moment, Kamuro Masumi had already tasted every dish and began to pick up the meat very specifically, occasionally eating a few bites of vegetables. If it were in the past, this would be the other way around.

But after more than a month of hunger at school, the desire to eat meat could no longer be stopped.

"This wine is a bit like grape juice, and it tastes very good." Ichinose Honami took a sip of the sparkling wine and was surprised to find it quite delicious.

"Really?" Horikita Suzune was also slightly surprised.

Masumi Kamuro said nothing, just took a sip and continued eating.

Eriri's omelette rice was also shared by Ichinose and the others. It was a big plate to begin with, and one plate alone would be enough to fill you up. Eriri certainly couldn't finish it, so she was happy to share it with them. But every time she shared a little, she felt a sense of anxiety.

The sukiyaki meat was finished first, and they started to eat the meat in the pot.

By the time the beef was finished, the other ingredients in the pot were almost gone as well.

"Would you like some porridge?" Yukinoshita Yukino gently put down her chopsticks and asked others.

"Zozuketsu?" Horikita Suzune was the first to react.

"Yes." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.

"If it's just a little bit, I can still eat it." Ying Lili had a happy bitter smile on her face.

"Well, wouldn't it be nice to end it with carbs?" Uesugi Genshin said as he poured rice into the sukiyaki pot.

Stir it with a spoon, then get an egg from the kitchen and crack it into it.

The egg yolk and egg white melt into the porridge and finally become golden mixed porridge together with white rice.

Then she turned off the fire, and Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the bowl and served everyone a spoonful.

"Huff, huff..." Everyone blew the air while filling the last bit of space in their stomachs with the last bowl of porridge.

But after the meal, Eriri suddenly covered her stomach and muttered, "My stomach hurts."

“Eh——” Uesugi Genshin didn’t know what to say. He ate so much that he had indigestion. He’s really a child!!!

You must know your own stomach and intestines!

When he cleaned the table for the last time, he put the Chikuzen-niboshi at the end and didn't eat it.

Because Chikuzen can be cooked and left over, you can just warm it up for tomorrow's breakfast. It won't affect its taste, and it may even make it more flavorful.

And Ying Lili just stuffs it in without stopping before her stomach can react?

She has a cold, a fever and a bloated stomach. She is really in trouble.

Uesugi Genshin carried Eriri to the bed in Yukinoshita's bedroom, gave her a glass of water, and asked her to take the digestive medicine.

"Do you feel better?"

"No."

Horikita and the others were responsible for cleaning up after the meal. It's impossible for the same person to do both eating and washing dishes.

At this time, Eriri stretched her hand out from under the quilt and reached out to Uesugi Genshin.

After blinking, Uesugi Genshin understood and held her hand.

Then he pinched it gently with his fingers, thinking that perhaps massaging her hands could divert her attention.

Do girls have long fingers? Eriri uses these hands to paint.

He stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips while daydreaming.

Eriri, who covered her eyes with her arms, began panting loudly, but the sound gradually became quieter.

I just don't know if it's the effect of the medicine or his own fault.

Uesugi Genshin, who had some free time, began to look around the room. This was Yukinoshita's bedroom.

Soft colors, comfortable layout and girlish decorations. There are also several Mr. Pan dolls placed on the bedside. Yukinoshita really likes pandas.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Uesugi Genshin's lips.

"What's going on?" Ichinose Honami walked in from outside and asked with concern.

Her eyes inadvertently glanced at the hands of Uesugi Genshin and Eriri.

"I took the medicine." Uesugi Genshin replied.

"Ms. Eriri, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Raising her eyes, Ichinose Honami smiled at him, walked to the bed and asked.

"...It's okay." Eriri raised her arm briefly and looked at Ichinose with narrowed eyes.

"Then have a good rest." With a smile, Uesugi Genshin lifted a corner of the quilt and put her hand back into the quilt.

"Yeah." Ying Lili responded softly.

To be honest, Eriri is even cuter now that she is seriously ill.

"Ms. Yukinoshita is going to take a bath." Ichinose Honami said to Uesugi Genshin, "You'll have to wait a little longer for Uesugi-kun."

"That's fine." Uesugi Genshin waved his hand and walked out the door, "Good night."

"Good night."

When I walked into the living room, Hayasaka and Kamuro were just coming out of the kitchen, and Horikita was wiping the table with a rag.

Even though she was leaving in the morning and might not come back, she still wiped it very carefully.

"Hmm..." Hayasaka Ai stretched her body and said to Horikita, "We've got it done here."

"I'm done too." Horikita Suzune folded the rag and held it in her hand.

As if checking, he wiped the tabletop with his finger.

It has the matte feel of real wood paint.

"You should go to bed early too." She stood up, looked at Uesugi Genshin, and said the last words of the evening.

"Ah."

"What time do you get up tomorrow?" asked Kamuro Masumi, with his hands on his hips.

She was wearing the long-sleeved knitted shirt uniform of Sobu High School. A clear curve could be seen at her chest. Although it was not as conspicuous as those plump girls, it also revealed just the right beauty.

In comparison, the white T-shirt worn by Horikita Suzune is much more cramped. It may also be related to the clothes. This T-shirt gives people a feeling of being stuffed full.

"Well...get enough sleep for 9 hours." Uesugi Genshin turned around and smiled.

"I see."

It's already past 10 o'clock, and I have to go to bed at 11 o'clock. I can at least sleep until 8 o'clock tomorrow.

Then the three of them walked out of the living room, leaving Uesugi Genshin alone in the living room. He had to wait for Yukinoshita to finish washing before taking a shower and going to bed.

Uesugi Genshin pulled at his clothes and sniffed, and the smell of detergent was almost gone.

It was a little hot, perhaps because of the last bowl of hot rice. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and opened it.

A cool evening breeze suddenly came.

It was pitch black outside the window. Even with the moonlight, I could only see the nearest building. Beyond that, I could only see the rough outline.

A city without light and filled with a heavy, dead atmosphere.

Their apartment, with its softly lit lights, seemed like the last isolated island of mankind.

"I'm done washing, you go wash up now."

The voice of Yukinoshita Yukino came from behind, the magnetic and transparent voice was very quiet and steady.

"Yeah." Uesugi Genshin couldn't help but widen his eyes when he turned around.

Holding the door frame, Yukinoshita was standing there in a kimono. The pure white silk was covered with small camellia-pattern paper-printed patterns.

Her hair is simply tied on one side, and her every move exudes gentleness and elegance.

The night breeze gently caressed her cheeks, her black hair fluttered beautifully in the wind, and Uesugi Genshin just... looked at Yukinoshita quietly.

"What's wrong? Is it weird?" Yukinoshita Yukino raised her hand gently and pinched the ends of her hair hanging on her shoulders with her fingers.

"No." Uesugi Genshin shook his head and looked down to Yukinoshita's feet. "You're still wearing tabi!"

"Yeah." Yukinoshita Yukino also looked down and playfully curled up her toes in her tabi.

Then he looked at Uesugi Genshin with a subtle look.

"Don't get me wrong, I just like this traditional combination." Uesugi Genshin explained that he was not a socks fetishist, "Especially the round and white calves inadvertently exposed under the kimono and the pure white tabi, it looks very astringent!"

If you can reveal part of your white thighs, it can be called the absolute Japanese style version!

"Ha..." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed in distress, rubbing her temples, looking like she had a headache, "I know."

"Is this a furisode?" He wasn't very familiar with girls' kimonos.

"This is a small furisode." Yukinoshita Yukino raised her arm to show the cuffs, which were two feet long. "It's usually used as a formal dress for school entrance or graduation."

Large furisode is the kimono worn by brides and is used at weddings.

"Because I don't need it usually, there's only one yukata here besides this one, but I have a lot at home."

The home here refers to my hometown.

"The Great Furisode?"

Yukinoshita Yukino rolled her eyes at him, "It's a middle furisode, usually worn at the New Year and Coming of Age Ceremonies, and a blue colored one."

Large furisode is worn at weddings, and should be made after adulthood because the body shape may have changed.
