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

He is a model of someone who wins everyone's trust through his personal charm. In contrast, his predecessor, Hayama, was too busy and rarely showed his face. The reason he was able to continue was entirely because he was Hayama. Thanks to the interpersonal relationships he had built up, no one would dare to offend him.

"..." As if she had a seizure, Hoshinomiya Chie grabbed her hair and pulled it out; it looked painful.

With a twitch at the corner of his eye, Uesugi Genshin looked up at her and suggested, "The past is the past. Rather than dwelling on the past, living well in the present is the most important thing."

"She didn't tell you all that, did she?" Hoshinomiya Chie chuckled, exhaling the smell of alcohol from her breath.

"What are they?"

"It's just..." She was about to speak when she seemed to lose her enthusiasm and stopped talking.

"If you want to know how Teacher Chabashira is doing, why don't you go and check it out in Chiba?"

After saying this, she left without another word.

Uesugi Genshin shrugged and continued walking forward with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji remarked with emotion, "I never expected that the homeroom teacher of Class B would know our class."

“Not only did we know each other, we also became enemies. We went from being best friends to being friends who hate each other for life.” Uesugi Genshin didn’t take it seriously.

The most important thing now is to divide the spoils, no, to distribute the profits. There's no need to worry about other minor details.

“5445 gold bars, these are your share,” Horikita Manabu said to Uesugi Genshin, pointing to the pile of gold on the ground.

They had already started counting the gold bars before Uesugi Genshin arrived, with three parties supervising and taking turns counting them, emphasizing their caution and prudence.

After all, this is gold. Although Uesugi Genshin and his group should be the ones who should really pay attention, since Shirogane Miyuki and Horikita Manabu are only entitled to a little over 3300 gold bars according to the treaty.

That's a difference of 2000 gold bars. 2000 gold bars could be piled up into a small mountain. This is the reward that Zongwu High received for his contribution.

Therefore, Soubu High School should count more carefully. For this reason, Haruno and Hayasaka personally led a team to carefully check the number of gold bars to avoid mistakes.

"Here you go, this box is full." Shirogane Miyuki placed a briefcase at Uesugi Genshin's feet.

“Then—it’s time to contact Haneda Airport.” Uesugi Genshin lifted his suitcase; it was indeed very heavy.

"Yes, just let me know if you need anything," Shirogane Miyuki asked eagerly.

"Don't worry, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Let's set a time with them first." Uesugi Genshin patted his arm, then looked at Horikita Manabu, "I'll need to borrow your boat and some space later."

“No problem.” Horikita Manabu nodded in agreement.

First, use the radio to notify Azusagawa to contact Mr. Spencer and inform the Self-Defense Force officer that things are settled. I just hope that nothing unexpected happens on the other side.

Chapter 369: The Senior Citizens' Party

Before that, however, Uesugi Genshin picked up a gold bar and examined it.

"Hey, you're not thinking of biting me with your teeth, are you?" Yang Nai said casually from behind him.

"..." Uesugi Genshin turned his head and looked at Haruno in surprise, his eyes seeming to say, "How did you figure that out?"

"Hehe..." Yang Nai shrugged lightly, putting on an air of "I don't know you yet."

After glancing at the gold in his hand again, Uesugi Genshin casually placed it on top of the gold mountain. "I won't be that naive."

As expected, Yang Nai smiled and said, "I won't laugh at you."

"Really?" Uesugi Genshin looked at her with a disbelieving expression.

"Really, really." Yang Nai suddenly took a step forward and continued to whisper in front of him, "I'll give you face in public."

"..."

So, he only won't be laughed at in front of outsiders.

"What about those sirens?" Uesugi Genshin asked about something else.

“Look, over there.” Yang pointed in another direction. “Because they’re all marked, they’re easy to pick out.”

It would be terrible if they couldn't find it. Originally, it was designed to be like paint packets or trackers tucked inside cash to prevent theft. In fact, the people at Shinomiya Bank did put the tracker inside.

"Ah."

Then Uesugi Genshin asked Haruno to take the gold back, as they would need to find a safe later. As for where to put it, he was thinking of putting it in the student council room.

Because virtually no one would steal it, and it can't be eaten or spent. The value of gold lies in its trading; if even trading itself doesn't exist, then it has no value whatsoever.

He then went to Shuchiin with Shirogane.

As expected, Rio Futaba answered the radio call. It seems that she and Sakuta Azusagawa are indeed very good friends. Sakuta Azusagawa entrusted the radio station to her because he trusted her.

"I've got everything sorted out on my end. Could you please have Azusagawa inquire about the transaction date?"

"Yes, I will pass that on to Azusagawa." Rio Futaba paused for a moment, then said, "Also, you mentioned last time that Shoko's surgery was very successful. Azusagawa was very happy to hear that. Thank you."

"Ha, next time I'll have to make him thank me in person."

“No, that’s what he said. I was just relaying it,” Rio Futaba said calmly. “But I will tell him. It’s better if he says thank you in person.”

"Yes, and you guys should also get ready, we'll all go together then."

We'll definitely go by boat, and those who can't swim or aren't good at swimming will be able to come along.

"okay, I get it."

call ended.

After leaving the house, Uesugi Genshin went to find Hayasaka, planning to return to Sobu High School. He would be there soon in the afternoon, and going back now would be just in time for lunch.

"No." To everyone's surprise, Kaguya Shinomiya grabbed Hayasaka and wouldn't let him leave. "Stay tonight."

Hayasaka Ai looked at her with disgust and tried to push her away. Kaguya-sama had become even more childish since they last met.

Seeing Shinomiya glaring at him, Uesugi Genshin raised his hands and then looked at Shirogane, indicating that he should control his girlfriend.

“Um, Kaguya…” Shirogane Miyuki stepped forward with a wry smile, “It’s not like we won’t see each other again.”

"President!" Kaguya Shinomiya stared at him in disbelief, never expecting that her lover wouldn't be on her side.

"In short, Shirogane wants to sleep with you and doesn't want you to sleep with Hayasaka," Uesugi Genshin whispered from the side.

"!" Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya's face flushed red, and she looked at Miyuki Shirogane with a shy expression, loosening her grip on Hayasaka considerably.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Uesugi Genshin grabbed Hayasaka and hugged him.

The scent of a young girl, so close yet warm and soft, wafts towards you, almost addictive.

"..." Hayasaka Ai turned her head to look at him, twisted her body, and felt extremely embarrassed.

However, Uesugi Genshin went too far and moved his face closer.

I don't know if this counts as a current offense.

"Since that's what the president thinks..." On the other side, Kaguya Shinomiya was persuaded, perhaps not by Shirogane, but by herself.

She hugged Hayasaka again with lingering affection, this time as a farewell hug.

only......

With a slight twitch of her nostrils, Kaguya Shinomiya faintly caught a different scent.

"Wait..." She suddenly became alert, then suddenly became clever, glaring at the only suspect, "What did you just do?"

"What? What?" Uesugi Genshin asked, feigning ignorance.

"You, you..." Kaguya Shinomiya was furious.

Uesugi Genshin gave a mocking smile, only to be met with a knowing look from Hayasaka.

Hayasaka sighed softly. Kaguya-sama wasn't some love rival, so was it necessary to upset her?

Is he a child? Really.

She felt that her lover would be even better if he were a little more mature, and thinking of this, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but laugh.

"Well then, Kaguya-sama, I'm leaving." With that, she abruptly ended the conversation.

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

The outside world was already a deep purple-red, so the lights in the room were turned on.

Under the lights, the shadows of several people were cast on the floor; the middle and senior levels of the student council and the executive department were all here.

"Um... is it really okay to leave the safe here?" Honami Ichinose asked, looking around. Although the door would be locked at night, this was gold.

"Where do you want to put Ichinose?" Uesugi Genshin asked with a tilted head and a smile.

By the way, the safe is located in the executive office next to the student union room.

"Isn't your apartment safer, senpai?" Isshiki Iroha said bluntly without any hesitation, she couldn't think of any other safer place.

"Forget it, am I some kind of evil dragon guarding treasure?" Uesugi Genshin shook his head and denied it.

“This place is quite nice too,” Yukino added, standing next to Uesugi Genshin.

Uesugi Genshin shrugged. He originally wanted to put it directly in the student council room, but Yukino refused. The student council room was a bit crowded and noisy, and people from various departments might go there for various reasons.

Then the two of them discussed it and decided to put it in the executive department office, which was just a wall away.

Firstly, hardly anyone comes here; who would go to the executive department or the office for no reason? Secondly, this gold was originally obtained by the executive department. If it weren't for the executive department head's noble character and dedication to public service, it would be perfectly acceptable for him to keep this gold for himself.

The move was very discreet, mostly carried out by their own people. No one would have guessed that several tons of gold were simply placed in an office in a special building.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji had thought this through very well. Of course, he wasn't very interested in the gold itself; what mattered was the guns he could exchange for it in a few days.

The suitcase he couldn't even carry was in the car downstairs, so there was no need to move it back and forth.

I originally intended to leave it on the boat, but considering that the boat was still somewhat dangerous, I drove to the beach and put the suitcase in the trunk.

"By the way, where's your report?" Uesugi Genshin asked Hachiman, remembering something.

Hachiman was left behind, while Uesugi Genshin's task for him was to ensure the safety of the people working at the shopping center.

“…Just a little more.” Hachiman looked back at Genshin and pleaded for help, “Give me a hand and I’ll get it done right away.”

"I really can't do anything with you..." Uesugi Genshin sighed, then decided to stay and keep him company while he worked overtime, which was a personal decision.

They didn't leave the special building until it was completely dark outside, by which time the convenience store was about to close.

So they didn't linger and headed straight for the apartment building. When they arrived at the top floor corridor, they ran into the two teachers standing outside the door, about to enter the apartment. Hiratsuka Shizuka was carrying a dozen beers, while Chabashira Sae was carrying a plastic bag of snacks.

The four looked at each other, and Hachiman said with a smile, "What a coincidence."

"Hmm." Hiratsuka Shizuya smiled.

"The teachers are planning a cocktail party," Uesugi Genshin remarked, glancing at the drink in Hiratsuka-sensei's hand.

Unexpectedly, Hiratsuka Shizuka readily admitted it and then asked, "Want to come along?"

Chapter 370: The Music Wasn't Turned Off

Hiratsuka-sensei can now invite his students to drink without batting an eye.

Uesugi Genshin and Hachiman, deeply impressed, looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

"What's wrong? Don't ignore me." Hiratsuka-sensei said in a sullen tone.

Uesugi Genshin and Hachiman snapped out of their daze and saw Hiratsuka-sensei pouting.

"Don't think I don't know, the people in your department drink hard liquor every day, while I only have beer here. You don't mind, do you?"

"Then I'll have to bother you." Uesugi Genshin said casually, then looked at Chabashira Sae, but Chabashira Sae avoided his gaze and did not look at him.

"..." Hachiman, half a step behind Uesugi Genshin, nodded casually.

As the two teachers entered the apartment, I observed that the apartments for women were generally quite ordinary.

After sitting down, Uesugi Genshin looked around and felt that it was no different from his own apartment, including the flowers next to the TV, and even the ashtray on the coffee table that his apartment didn't have.

“Of course it’s the same. Have you ever cleaned your own apartment?” Hachiman sat on the floor and accurately retorted to Uesugi Genshin.

This person's own apartment is cleaned by other girls, and he doesn't even use it more than halfway. If he thinks they are the same, it just shows that there is no essential difference between young women and mature women in their lives.

"I see." With a sigh, Uesugi Genshin suddenly realized.

At that moment, Chabashira Sae, expressionless, moved a low, round table over and sat down opposite Uesugi Genshin.

"Anyway, thank you for your hard work." Hiratsuka Shizuka brought over two glasses of water, squatted down in a very feminine manner, and placed them on the table.

Knowing what she meant, Uesugi Genshin smiled and said, "Thank you."

Hachiman scratched the back of his head and said, "Well, I didn't do anything."

"No, that's not true. You did your job well too," Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a smile, trying to comfort her. "I used to think about going for a drink after work, as a reward."

Although they were all minors, they shouldn't be allowed to drink alcohol later, Hachiman thought to himself.
