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

"Oh."

After all, it's general anesthesia; it would be a bad thing if he could wake up easily.

"Compared to that..." Masumi Kamuro glanced downstairs again, "Are we surrounded?"

Uesugi Genshin walked to Kamuro Masumi's side. She moved aside slightly, but they were still very close, so close that they could see each other's reflections in their pupils.

Looking down, all I could see was a pile of zombie corpses lying on the ground. This was the result of the bodies being thrown down from the sky yesterday. There wasn't enough time to carry the bodies down bit by bit, so this was the only solution I had.

Besides that, there was a horde of corpses surrounding the building, about twenty in total.

"Maybe the smell of blood attracted them, who knows?" Uesugi Genshin said casually, even he could barely clear the zombies out of the building.

Fortunately, this is a top-tier private hospital, and the high cost alone is enough to deter most ordinary people.

Moreover, Japan's healthcare system employs a tiered system. Minor illnesses are generally treated at clinics, and if the clinic cannot handle the case, it will issue a referral letter to a larger hospital. Going directly to a large hospital would incur an additional fee and might even result in being refused treatment.

Therefore, those who can receive medical treatment here are mostly wealthy people who live nearby or are seriously ill. When zombies appear, the rich rarely choose to go to the hospital, and those who are well-informed will run away as soon as possible.

As a result, the number of zombies in the building was visibly reduced. Apart from the time-consuming task of checking each room, most of the fighting was not difficult.

The people from Shuchiin that Shirogane arranged were only guarding the stairwell on the first floor and the stairwell on this floor, as well as the underground parking lot. As long as the zombies don't flood in, they can just take a car from the underground parking lot to evacuate.

"She can't leave right after the surgery." Kamuro Masumi couldn't help but worry about Sakayanagi's condition.

"Yes, the intensive care unit here is well-equipped, but we'll need to get it to a stable state first." Uesugi Genshin knew that Sakayanagi would probably need to stay here for a few more days.

"I'm wondering if we should empty this place out." At that moment, Shirogane Miyuki came over.

“That’s a good idea, since the zombies in this building have already been cleared out anyway.” Uesugi Genshin and Kamuro Masumi both looked at him.

“Indeed.” Shirogane Miyuki nodded. “And Shuchiin doesn’t need to worry about food for the time being.”

“Then I’ll have a share of everything from this hospital,” Uesugi Genshin said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll remember.” Shirogane Miyuki smiled at him, “But the advanced equipment and such may not be able to be transported to Chiba.”

“It’s alright.” Uesugi Genshin shook his head. After all, there was a famous doctor here at Shuchiin Hospital. Such medical resources could be said to be more valuable than the entire hospital itself.

At least the situation has changed from minor illnesses that can be treated to serious illnesses that cannot be treated, where serious illnesses now require treatment in Tokyo.

Learning medicine is something that can't be rushed, so Uesugi Genshin could only take it one step at a time, sending Shiromaru and the others over to learn as much as they could.

"Let's eat something first," Uesugi Genshin suggested.

"Okay."

Along with Yang Nai and the others, they simply ate bagged bread at a table in the office area.

After finishing his meal, Shirogane Miyuki said he had to go back, as he would need to arrange for someone to come over.

Uesugi Genshin decided to stay there until noon to see if Sakayanagi would wake up before returning.

This floor was very quiet, or rather, tranquil, which made him lose interest, so he moved a chair and sat in the corridor to bask in the sun.

Seeing this, Yang Nai moved a chair next to him and sat down beside him.

"Ugh, so boring~" Yang Nai sighed, like a child whining, "I guess I'll just go back to bed."

Kamuro had already gone to the intensive care unit to be with Sakayanagi, leaving just the two of them here. It was then that Haruno revealed her true nature.

Ever since they stopped letting her, the young lady, decorate the Yukino family's facade, Haruno has become increasingly unrestrained.

His gluttony and love of sleep are already evident in his daily life. He usually scrambles to eat the sweets Yukino makes and isn't afraid of gaining weight at all.

Furthermore, Haruno stated that she had already used up this amount of sugar during her daily training.

Uesugi Genshin expressed doubt about this and adopted a cautious attitude.

"Then you should go back to your room first." Uesugi Genshin glanced at Hino, then continued looking at the sky outside the window and slowly yawned.

“Ha…” Ms. Yang sighed mockingly, tilting her head with her index finger to her chin. “Seriously, what is it about that girl named Sakayanagi that attracts you?”

Uesugi Genshin rolled his eyes. "Don't say that. Sakayanagi is a very good worker. I plan to make her the vice president. I always have to find someone to do the work you don't want to do."

"Hehehe..." Yang Nai let out a light, bell-like laugh. "What do you mean I don't want to do it? The problem is there's no benefit to it."

Just like she said before, even if she doesn't become the vice president, she can still do what she wants at Zongwu High School. And someone doesn't need her to be the vice president to be bossed around, so the vice president position would be completely meaningless.

“I just want to make things easier for Yukino,” Uesugi Genshin said with a slight pout. “Even if Sakayanagi only works two hours a day, Yukino won’t need to work overtime anymore.”

The most important things for Soubu High are finance and military, which are already under his and Yukino's control. As for the rest, they are all minor details, and it is best to find a trustworthy person to entrust them with as soon as possible.

"What? So it's because of Yukino-chan." Haruno clicked her tongue as if she was jealous.

Uesugi Genshin didn't care at all, because he knew that Haruno was also a sister-complex person, and that her previous behavior was mostly just teasing him.

After chatting for a while, making small talk, Kamuro Masumi came over around noon. "Sakayanagi woke up and said he... wants to see you."

"Understood." Uesugi Genshin got up, walked towards the intensive care unit, opened the door, and went inside.

He saw Sakayanagi Yuki dressed in a hospital gown, staring intently at him.

"I can't believe you actually did it! You're amazing!"

"What is it?" Uesugi Genshin asked, tilting his head.

"Hmph~, it seems like it's not a big deal for you." Sakayanagi Arisu teased, but her smile was rather weak.

Seeing this, Kamuro Masumi quickly stepped forward to remind Sakayanagi to make fewer movements and to be careful to control the rise and fall of his chest, in case the surgical incision reopened if he laughed.

"Then you can't just accept it without feeling guilty," Uesugi Genshin said expressionlessly, his eyes seeming to say something.

"Although I really want to say yes, my heart starts racing involuntarily whenever you get close. Please wait until I can get out of bed and move around before saying it." Sakayanagi Arisu smiled happily and cast a look at Uesugi Genshin, wanting to confirm his thoughts.

“Alright.” Uesugi Genshin didn’t press him for anything. He knew that Sakayanagi’s joining Soubu High was a done deal, and it wouldn’t be right to say anything more.

However, he didn't quite believe what Sakayanagi said.

"If you don't believe me, you can come over and try it." Seeing his expression, Sakayanagi Arisu said with amusement.

Uesugi Genshin blinked and moved closer to Sakayanagi.

Then... he saw very clearly that the heart rate readings on the monitor on the table, which was out of Sakayanagi's sight, began to rise.

"Please don't get startled and back away," came Arisu Sakayanagi's soft voice. "Otherwise, I really might burst out laughing."

Chapter 362: Drawing Lots to Determine Personnel

Before Uesugi Genshin could make any other move, Sakayanagi Arisu called out first, "Let's go out first."

Then his eyes immediately went straight to the ceiling, his expression changing so quickly it was as if what he had just said was an illusion.

“I understand, you…” Before he could finish speaking, Uesugi Genshin saw her raised finger, making a gesture of dismissal.

He shrugged helplessly, thinking that she was a patient, and then turned and left.

Seeing this, Masumi Kamuro followed him out, and after walking a few meters away from the intensive care unit, she said, "I want to take care of her here."

“I didn’t object.” Uesugi Genshin turned to look at her and blinked.

"Okay." Masumi Kamuro nodded in relief.

Seeing Yang Nai approaching, Uesugi Genshin gave Kamuro a final instruction before leaving: "If you need anything, just tell the people at Shuchiin. Shirogane will help."

"I understand." Holding her right arm with her left hand, Masumi Kamuro was quite tired. After being busy for so long, she could finally relax. Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’ll have someone send over some nutritious ingredients… You can cook, right?” Uesugi Genshin frowned, looking at Kamuro with suspicion.

"No," Masumi Kamuro said frankly.

“…Then I’ll have to trouble you, Shiromaru-senpai.” Uesugi Genshin chuckled and continued.

"understood."

"Yes, and also protect them well. If anything happens, hide. Preserving their lives is the most important thing," Uesugi Genshin said again, still worried.

The "them" here obviously refers to the two patients and Shiroi-senpai; any one of them dying would cause some trouble.

“Okay.” Masumi Kamuro listened patiently, without any sign of impatience, and even loosened her grip on his arm.

After saying that, Uesugi Genshin relaxed his brow. "I'm leaving. Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, he turned and left with Yang Nai without any hesitation.

Watching him disappear around the corner, Kamuro Masumi turned around and walked back to Sakayanagi's hospital room.

Sakayanagi was still staring at the ceiling. She looked up and saw that it was just an ordinary ceiling that was everywhere. Sometimes she would stare at it in a daze during class.

“We were just getting started…” Kamuro Masumi walked over, tugged at Saka Yanagi’s collar, and pulled up her slipping hospital gown to partially cover her thin chest.

There's nothing to cover up with the patch on one side, but the light pink bud on the other side can be easily seen from different angles.

"And since you know how to be shy, don't say things like that." Kamuro Masumi guessed that it was the lack of delay in Sakayanagi's chest that was causing her heart to race.

"Kamuro-kun really doesn't know anything." Sakayanagi Arisu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

To Kamuro, however, it was the same attitude as before, the kind of expression that said, "You're stupid, so I don't want to talk to you anymore."

She glanced at Sakayanagi with some surprise. "What you were trying to say just now was perhaps...?"

“Hmph…” Arisu Sakayanagi’s weak laughter interrupted her, “You’ve actually started to believe it yourself as you’ve been talking about it.”

Closing her mouth, Kamuro Masumi looked at Sakayanagi with confusion, "Who are you talking about?"

Rolling her eyes, Sakayanagi Arisu looked at the ceiling again and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Masumi Kamuro sat down on the chair by the bed, looking at her phone idly. She thought to herself that she should have someone bring some books.

“Let’s continue what we were saying,” Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly said.

"What are you talking about?" Kamuro Masumi retorted without even looking up.

“I mean… tell me more about Chiba,” Sakayanagi Arisu pointed out.

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

"You can draw lots."

Upon returning to Soubu High School in the afternoon, Uesugi Genshin immediately summoned the executive department members and began speaking from the main seat.

"Whichever group draws the winning number will participate in the Tokyo bank robbery operation."

This is the fairest way, which is why he gathered everyone here. Because it's far from Chiba, this operation is quite dangerous and the risks are uncontrollable.

But only after the personnel are determined can we have more detailed discussions about the allocation of actions with the other two groups, so this is the first thing that needs to be decided.

"I thought you'd just pick someone directly," Hachiman joked casually.

Uesugi Genshin turned to look at him and joked, "If I could bring you all along, I definitely would."

“15 people, huh?” Hayama Hayato whispered to himself in the lower left corner.

"Hmm, that's five groups." Uesugi Genshin surveyed the executive department members sitting neatly on both sides like three layers of fish scales.

Aside from the fact that Ayanokouji's team is newly formed and a little worrying, there are no other issues with their strength.

But going to Tokyo is ultimately a troublesome matter. There might be situations where a direct confrontation is necessary, and because joint operations are required, the tactical options become fewer.

When faced with danger, one must at least be able to fight to the death and not betray teammates. In addition, one must ensure that one has the ability to retreat safely when teammates are defeated.

So still...

"Let's draw lots."

Uesugi Genshin glanced at Hayasaka behind him, and Hayasaka Ai, understanding his intention, brought the prepared cardboard box to the front.

"Each group leader stepped forward to draw lots."

After giving the instructions, the people below each got up, took out a piece of paper from the cardboard box in the center, and unfolded it when they turned back.

"Raise your hand if you have a red circle drawn on your forehead."

Sagami and Zaimokuza from the Hachiman Squad, Yamato from the Hayama Squad, and Kanzaki from the Ayanokoji Squad raised their hands.

Hachiman looked around and asked, "Are there only four circles?"

“Yes, plus me, Amasawa, and Kiryuin.” Uesugi Genshin pointed to the two people sitting behind him with his thumb.

When Amazusa Ichika was called on, he mischievously stuck out his tongue, while Kiryuin gave a haughty snort.

The two give off completely different impressions; one is a junior high school student, and the other is a senior high school student with long legs.

Horikita Suzune, who wasn't mentioned, hesitated to speak, feeling she should say she wanted to go too, but ultimately didn't say it out of consideration.

"By the way..." Uesugi Genshin looked in Ayanokouji's direction, "Ha. The Kanzaki Group's strength is not yet mature, so Ayanokouji, you will lead them personally."

"I understand," Ayanokouji Kiyotaka replied calmly, bowing his head. He had no objection to the operation, as it would enhance their combat strength if it went smoothly.
