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

"..." Looking at her sister who had cheered up again, Yang No turned her head and stared at Uesugi Genshin with a calm expression. Finally, she turned around silently and left with the tray.

The second round of conversation took place during dinner, and the seats were different this time.

Uesugi Genshin and Yukino sat on one side, and opposite them sat the Yukinoshita couple and Haruno.

Among them, Yukinoshita's mother was sitting in front of Yukino, Yuki's father was sitting in front of him, and Haruno was sitting next to her mother.

Yukino was a little surprised when Haruno suddenly sat down opposite her, while Uesugi Genshin was eating calmly.

It's just an ordinary stew with traditional Japanese style, and it tastes very good to Japanese people.

"Mr. Uesugi has good manners. Is it due to the education from his parents?" Looking at Uesugi Genshin eating silently, Yukinoshita's mother suddenly asked.

"Is this kid called Uesugi?" Before Uesugi Genshin could speak, Xue's father asked first.

"Yes." Yukinoshita's mother nodded, then looked at Uesugi Genshin with a smile.

"My name is Uesugi Genshin." He looked at Xue's mother and father seriously and leaned forward to say.

"Pfft..." Yang No laughed out loud, "This is such an old-fashioned self-introduction. Have you watched too many Taiga dramas?"

"I didn't realize it." Uesugi Genshin said with a smile, "It's a Japanese-style room after all."

He looked at Mother Yukinoshita, "I learned etiquette in the temple. The master in the dojo asked me to learn it."

"Dojo..." Yukinoshita's mother smiled, "Uesugi-kun is very good at kendo, which style did you learn?"

"Shinto Munen-ryu." Uesugi Genshin replied.

"Is it true?" Xue's father questioned. Isn't this an ancient sword technique? Not to mention that it has been lost, not many people would learn it now.

"Did you learn it at Yukinoku-kan?" asked Yukinoshita's mother.

Yushinkan is a dojo rebuilt in modern times by the Shinto Munen-ryu school, located in Meguro-ku, Tokyo.

But he learned it at the training ground in Edo. If he mentioned the training ground now, it would probably be considered a joke.

"Please forgive me for keeping it a secret." So Uesugi Genshin chose to remain silent.

Observing her husband's micro-expressions, Yukinoshita's mother knew that he didn't believe it at all, so she covered her mouth lightly and said to the side, "Uesugi-kun was on TV a month ago, on Kanto TV."

He didn't make the connection at first, but when he heard about Kanto TV, Xue's father immediately reacted and looked at the man who claimed to be his daughter's boyfriend.

The behavior of that unscrupulous TV station is still fresh in the memory of him, a Chiba native, and the one who suffered was a girl from the same school as his daughter.

"Does the dojo also teach horse riding and archery?" His words were so sharp that he didn't even realize it.

"I have learned it myself." Uesugi Genshin showed his modesty.

For some reason, all the topics of conversation at the dinner table from just now on were about him, but no matter what, he just had to answer normally.

"Study?" Xue's father asked doubtfully, "What is your family background, Uesugi-kun?"

Not to mention bows and arrows, but if you want to ride a horse, you also need to teach archery, which is very expensive. He knows this very well because his eldest daughter likes riding horses very much, and sometimes the whole family goes together.

"No, just an ordinary family, but I debuted as a novelist two years ago." Knowing that the other party was asking about his family's financial situation, Uesugi Genshin directly explained the source of his money, "I already had more than 20 million in the account before."

"Humph, not bad for a young man." Father Xue crossed his arms and nodded proudly.

"Dear, Uesugi-kun is a classmate of Yukino." Yukinoshita's mother reminded calmly.

"Wait!" Xue's father widened his eyes in surprise, "You are Xueno's classmate?"

"Oh, Uesugi-kun has never worn the Sobu High School uniform before?" Yono joked.

"......" Because she took it off later, Xue's father's memory was a little fuzzy, was she wearing a school uniform? The eldest daughter occasionally made half-truthful jokes, so don't trust her.

He crossed his arms and nodded calmly, "So you are a student of Sobu High School."

An income of tens of millions is truly amazing. My daughter's classmate is now in the second year of high school, and at this age he has savings of tens of millions, which is more than enough to buy a new high-end apartment in Chiba in the future.

Marry your daughter to him...

No!!! Father Xue suddenly realized why he suddenly thought about that.

So he looked at Yukino and asked, "Yukino, your mother should have told you when you will be back?"

Xue Noi put down her bowl and chopsticks calmly, "If I come back, what does mother plan to let me do?"

"I heard that you were working as an accountant in Sobu High School, doing material management?"

"Yes."

"Then you can continue to do this after you come here, and the same goes for Uesugi-kun." Yukinoshita's mother smiled kindly at Uesugi Genshin, "I believe that with Uesugi-kun's ability, he will soon be able to replace Haruno's previous position."

These words made Uesugi Genshin look at Haruno who was standing next to him, and he saw Haruno shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Excuse me for refusing." Yukino said in a firm tone.

"Really?" Yukinoshita's mother looked at her without comment. Facing Yukino's gaze, she smiled and turned to look at Uesugi Genshin. "Come to think of it, I heard from Mrs. Yuigahama that her daughter also got..."

When Uesugi Genshin heard Yukinoshita's mother mention the surname Yuigahama, his heart trembled. It was a little unexpected but also reasonable.

It was Haruno who arranged for Yuigahama's mother to live here, so there was no way that Haruno's mother didn't know about it. With a little interaction, it would be easy for her to ask about such family news. What's more, it was something related to her two daughters, so it wouldn't be a big deal for her to show more concern.

This is a case of the dagger being revealed after the whole plan is completed. It's as if the kindness just now was all fake. He has been hiding all these cards just to use them now, using him as a breakthrough point.

"Mother!!!" Yukino interrupted directly, she knew that it would be bad if she continued.

"Yukino! Shouting is rude. Didn't I teach you etiquette?" Yukinoshita's mother asked sternly. Although her tone was flat, the weight of it was there.

"Yes." Yukino paused.

And Yukinoshita's mother looked at Uesugi Genshin and said with a smile: "Uesugi-kun, what do you think?"

Yang No also laughed, causing her sister to glare at her, as if she had betrayed them.

Naive! She said she was not on Yukino-chan's side, and this part was indeed the information collected by her mother herself, so she didn't reveal much.

"If it weren't for the appearance of zombies, I probably wouldn't have had any interaction with Yukino." Uesugi Genshin said with a smile.

This made Yukino involuntarily look to the side, because she was thinking the same thing.

"Love is about fate, meeting the right person at the right time. I don't know if I am the right person, but I am confident that even in Yukino's previous life, I am more suitable than 99% of the men she met. As for now, it is even more so."

"Are you trying to say that my daughter has no other choice but you?" Yukinoshita's mother tilted her head in embarrassment, put her hands on her temples, then glanced at the two of them and asked back.

"Yes." Uesugi Genshin replied confidently.

"You are really brave." Yukinoshita's mother changed her amiable smile and narrowed her eyes for a moment.

"Mr. Uesugi, that's so rude." Yang Noi chimed in.

"No, I feel more relaxed when he does this." Interrupting what Haruno was saying, Yukinoshita's mother chuckled.

"Mother." Xue No also said solemnly, "I am also very happy to have met Xuan Xin in this end of the world. I feel very lucky to have met him."

"Yukino...you've changed." Yukinoshita's mother sighed as if expressing her emotion.

Has she changed? Xueno thought deeply. She has indeed changed a lot compared to herself a month ago.

Become able to handle interpersonal relationships well and learn to trust others.

"But I didn't say it was a good thing." Yukinoshita's mother lowered her eyes, then looked at Uesugi Genshin again, "Do you think Yukino's transformation is a good thing?"

"At least it's better than before. And whether growth is a good thing depends on how the person thinks." Uesugi Genshin spread out his palms and said, "You should also trust your daughter's judgment."

"...Yes." Mother Yukinoshita tapped her cheek, "But as a mother, I don't agree with it."

This made Yukino's face tighten, and she was thinking about how to convince her mother.

"As a mother, I am against it." Mother Yukinoshita looked at her little daughter, "Yukino."

"Yes!"

She silently examined her daughter with a stubborn face. After a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on her lips. "So it's up to you to decide. After all, the future path is up to you."

"Don't even think about it. The answer has already been decided." Yukino said firmly.

"Is that so... then that's fine." Yukinoshita's mother suddenly revealed a cold look that was completely different from the gentle look just now, as if she had a deep hatred. "I have done what a mother should say. I hope you won't regret it, whether it's a man or what you want to do."

"I won't." Yukino promised seriously.

"Continue eating." Yukinoshita's mother picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, ending this long conversation.

"..." Seeing his beloved wife accepting this boy like this, Xue's father showed an expression of disbelief.

Yukinoshita's mother glanced at her husband with amusement, "What's wrong, dear? At present, Uesugi-kun is undoubtedly an excellent young man. Even Ms. Sakurajima has high praise for him."

"This...this..." Xue's father was speechless for a moment.

"......" Uesugi Genshin also remained silent. It was somewhat risky to have several mothers-in-law together.

Chapter 311: You Deserve to Be Venomous

"Hahaha......"

In the silence where one could almost hear the sound of dripping water, Yang No's laughter spread.

"Yono." Yukinoshita's mother scolded softly.

"Sorry, sorry." After apologizing, Yang Noi put down his bowl and chopsticks, said, "I'm done eating," and walked out calmly.

At the moment the door was about to close, she waved to Uesugi Genshin and left the reception room.

"Ha..." Haruno's departure made Yukinoshita's mother sigh deeply. She raised her head and looked at Uesugi Genshin, "Haruno said she wanted to go over there to look after Yukino, and I agreed."

She spoke lightly, as if the previous difficulties were all illusions.

Or maybe it could be considered a test. If Yukino's will was not strong, it would be better for her to obey her family's arrangements. This is probably what Yukino's mother thought.

Uesugi Genshin leaned forward and responded, "I'll take good care of Haruno."

"unnecessary."

Unexpectedly, Yukinoshita's mother refused.

"As the daughter of the Yukinoshita family, Haruno must be responsible for her own choices. Even if it means sacrifice, she should have some awareness of this."

In other words, if Yang Noi wanted to fight the zombies, then if she got caught accidentally, it was her choice, and she couldn't blame anyone else.

Having said that, Uesugi Genshin just lowered his head and pretended to have heard it. Don't listen to the other party's indifference, but he doesn't think that if Haruno really died in some accident, Haruno and Yukino's mother would not feel resentful.

Faced with his attitude, Xue's mother raised her head and smiled with her lips pursed, but Xue's father did not do so. He looked disappointed.

What can he do after his wife said that?

I can’t spoil things, I can only talk to my eldest daughter later.

Originally, he was the one who took on the responsibility of commanding the outgoing troops as a temporary measure, and he was the most suitable person at the time. Later, his wife happened to resign, so he handed over the remaining troops to his old subordinates, thinking that Yang Nai could finally freely choose what she wanted to do.

Once you get there, you can't compromise anymore. If you really want to take a break, then don't take a position that requires you to be away from home.

"Mr. Uesugi, would you like another bowl of rice?" Yukinoshita's mother asked, knowing that he would be full after just one bowl.

"Thank you for your help." Uesugi Genshin replied rudely.

So Yukinoshita's mother got up and walked over, took his bowl to the kitchen to get more rice.

Only Yukinoshita's father, Uesugi Genshin and Yukino were left in the reception room.

Father Xue held the bowl and looked straight ahead, examining it carefully as if he was trying to discover something.

"I heard from Sansen." He suddenly spoke.

"Mimori...ah~" Uesugi Genshin remembered that this was the person he and Haruno went to Narashino with before. He should be an employee of the Yukinoshita family's company.

"I didn't expect that you not only know how to use swords, but also how to use firearms." Xue's father smiled bitterly and shook his head, "What kind of family can educate someone like you?"

"It has nothing to do with my family. I learned these by myself," Uesugi Genshin explained modestly.

"Yes." Father Xue nodded as if he had heard it, and then said solemnly, "You will definitely be able to protect Yukino. I'll leave our daughters in your care."

"Yes." Uesugi Genshin bowed his head and saluted.

"He really looks like a samurai from a Taiga drama." Xue's father said to himself, and then burst into laughter. "In fact, my husband prefers to go to Western restaurants when he meets people."

"If it's Western table etiquette, I don't know and need to learn it on the spot." Uesugi Genshin joked.

"Hahaha, then you don't need to worry about this anymore, Uesugi-kun."

Because there are no Western restaurants in the apocalypse, there is no need for etiquette.

The atmosphere relaxed and they chatted about some daily topics, such as what Uesugi Genshin's future plans were and how he later met his two daughters.
