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

"Hey—, I didn't expect you to have this skill." Kiryuin Fuuka stood next to Uesugi Genshin, watching with great curiosity as he aimed his bow and arrow at the seagulls perched on the wooden railing of the dock.

"Shh!" Uesugi Genshin gestured for him to be quiet, then held his breath, released the bowstring, and the arrow flew towards the seagull, hitting him squarely.

Startled, the seagulls in the surrounding area took flight, soaring high and circling in a dense, dark mass above the coastline.

Second arrow!

The bird in the sky was hit again, and its body fell from the sky and crashed onto the beach.

"Amazing!" Horikita Suzune exclaimed in admiration, a gentle smile appearing on her lips, due to his exquisite archery skills.

Unfortunately, the other seagulls, seeing the tragic death of their kind, flew away into the distance, and it will probably be a long time before they return so that Uesugi Genshin can hunt a third one.

"I had forgotten you could shoot arrows," Hachiman complained from the side. Now the barbecue wouldn't just be seafood anymore, since fresh meat was only available from seafood, and now they had seabirds as an option.

"Right, thanks to me." Uesugi Genshin, feeling smug, looked at the seagulls that Hayasaka and Kamuro had brought over and ordered, "Take care of these two first."

"it is good."

Horikita Suzune went to help Kamuro, since Kamuro had never cooked much, let alone killed chickens or fish.

First, we removed the seagulls' internal organs at the dock, and then we rinsed them with a tap in the park. That was pretty much it.

Like a weary traveler, the setting sun slowly sinks into the embrace of the sea, its afterglow casting a gentle orange glow on the white sand.

The waves gently kissed the beach, seemingly enjoying the tranquil moment, shimmering and sparkling like shattered diamonds.

On the beach, a group of cheerful people gathered around a roaring bonfire. The aroma of barbecue mingled with the salty smell of the sea, whetting their appetites.

Various ingredients are skewered on iron skewers, from fresh fish and shrimp to various sausages, and even seagulls that have been briefly marinated. Oil droplets fall into the fire, making a sizzling sound, and the leaping flames seem to be dancing a farewell dance to the sun.

Laughter and the crackling of firewood blended together to create a lighthearted and joyful symphony for the dinner.

The sea breeze gently swept by, taking away the daytime's intensity, but it couldn't take away the warmth in people's hearts.

The lively ones chased and played on the beach, continuing to build the sandcastles they hadn't finished that afternoon, while those who had had enough fun sat around the grill, raising their glasses to chat and share the joy of the day.

As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared on the horizon, the stars began to twinkle in the sky, the campfires illuminated everyone's faces, and the sea shimmered with a faint silver light.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, leaving only the whisper of the sea breeze, the aroma of barbecue, and the happiness and peace brought by the reunion.

"Don't you want to watch the fireworks?" Shiyu bent down and gently stroked her man's bangs.

"I want to look at you now." Uesugi Genshin lay on her plump thighs, admiring her face by the firelight.

"Oh...do you like me more than fireworks?" she teased, her face involuntarily flushing red.

“Of course.” Uesugi Genshin chuckled.

Shi Yu herself felt embarrassed first, and joked to herself, "Haha, I knew it all along, but I still had to double-check."

"Hey, there aren't many fireworks left." Hachiman walked over and reminded him that if they didn't set them off soon, they would be gone, and he probably wouldn't have another chance.

"I understand." With a sigh, Uesugi Genshin reluctantly got up and walked over amidst Utaha's teasing laughter.

While the large one was still burning, Hachiman handed him a small cigarette stick.

The two squatted together by the sea, quietly watching the fireworks in their hands emit a tranquil yet beautiful burst of light.

In the silence, Uesugi Genshin looked up at Hachiman, "It is a good life we ​​lead, brother."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Hachiman looked up, puzzled.

"..." Okay, this idiot, he's been deluding himself again.

“The best,” Hachiman said casually. “Not good.”

"puff......"

"Hahaha......"

The two smiled at each other.

It's not just good, it's the best.

It's finished.

This is about enough to finish writing. I originally only planned to write one million words, but I ended up writing two hundred thousand more.

First of all, thank you for your support, dear readers.

I had considered some hardcore content before, such as the Ground Self-Defense Force distributing weapons to survivors under resource pressure and sending them to scavenge inland, leading to conflicts between these wanderers and the main characters. However, after thinking about it, I decided against it. This book isn't really hardcore to begin with, so I'll save that content for future post-apocalyptic stories.

I've been writing this for a year now, and there are many things I'm not satisfied with about this book. What I'm most dissatisfied with is that I was too greedy and wanted to merge several books together, which resulted in some girls having fewer storylines... But I really don't want to single out one of them and write a separate fanfic.

I will start a new book later.
