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

Uesugi Genshin felt that he still had to struggle verbally, and pretended to be tired, "I just got back."

"Isn't this just right?"

Good, good, I know your importance.

Hachiman's matter-of-fact tone, combined with his lazy image, actually makes him look like a dandy.

"is it?"

What's just right!

We set out in the morning and didn't arrive until almost afternoon. I was so nervous along the way that I was almost dying of exhaustion.

Uesugi Genshin looked behind him and muttered, "It really is."

"It's just the two of you."

Hayato Hayama recognized Genshin Uesugi, who had been in their class at the beginning and was friends with Hikigaya in their class.

I don't know why he came back from outside, but he doesn't agree with what the other party did... Once he admits defeat, what will be his firm belief all along?

I hope no one will be hurt and everyone can be saved.

Hayato Hayama once again displayed his natural talent for being approachable, smiling a smile that no one would find offensive.

"Yes."

"Then there's no need to go to Yeshan, I'll just follow Hachiman." Uesugi Genshin touched the back of his head and said casually.

Going to the seafood market with two or three people makes no difference. More people and fewer people are two different action strategies.

Hayato Hayama choked at the tone that sounded like contempt, "I'm fine."

“It’s more efficient this way.”

Ye Shan should just stay here and calm people's hearts at this stage. Why do you always want to carry the team? Use your strengths to make up for our weaknesses!

"Then you don't have to go to Yeshan."

"Even you say that, Hikigaya."

“I also think it’s more efficient this way.”

Hayato Hayama had no choice but to reach out and hand the weapon to Genshin Uesugi, which was a standard baseball bat in school scenes.

The impact was incredible. Compared to the mop or broom sticks that the two students next to him had taken from somewhere, this was undoubtedly a deadly weapon.

At this point, Hayato Hayama could only wish them good luck, then watched them disappear down the stairs and into the house.

After all, the two people opposite were acquaintances, and Hayato Hayama had no reason to forcefully intervene.

"Nice car." After walking out of the building, Hikigaya Hachiman took a look and praised the car, which was obviously driven by Uesugi Genshin.

The perfect combination of red base and black embellishments, the oppressive feeling just by parking there is incomparable to that soft family car.

Even the dead fish eyes have changed a little, becoming clear, bright and sparkling. After all, this is a common interest of men.

"I think so too." Uesugi Genshin nodded in agreement.

Hikigaya Hachiman turned around and said, "I think Hiratsuka-sensei is going to cry."

"...Stop talking. I'll feel so guilty if you continue." This point cannot be refuted.

“You really didn’t come back.”

That flaming red Aston Martin is Mr. Hiratsuka's favorite car, and he even kept talking about it on the way.

"It's so broken, how can I drive it back?"

When they got closer, Uesugi Genshin touched the surface of the car.

"And this is much more practical than Mr. Hiratsuka's sports car." His face was deep, as if he was caressing the skin of his lover.

"That's true." Hikigaya Hachiman also agreed, his palm sliding across the rough appearance.

If you have actually been to the city, you will know that you cannot drive fast at all and the road conditions can only be described as terrible.

This is just the impact of the homeward rush. I wonder how bad the road conditions will be when the tide of refugees flees.

He and Xuan Xin reached a consensus on this point, and they felt guilty towards Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka.

The seafood market is not far away, and the adjacent dining street is just like some supermarkets, selling food next to ingredients.

They are very close to the school, about less than one kilometer away. Just walk along the coastal highway in the opposite direction to Tokyo.

So they decided to walk there, but when they were leaving the school gate, Uesugi Genshin grabbed Hachiman's school uniform.

"Someone is watching you," he said.

Hikigaya Hachiman turned his head to look at the glass in the corridor, and sure enough, there was a figure on the second floor.

"Don't talk nonsense." He didn't know anyone at school.

"No, there's someone else watching you too."

Where? Muttering to himself, Hachiman moved his gaze upwards and saw Kawasaki.

"No way~" She shouldn't be looking at him...

Hikigaya Hachiman turned his head to the left and right, which caused Uesugi Genshin to tease him.

"You are really a youth."

"...What are you talking about?" Youth? What does that have to do with someone like him?

By the way, you said the same thing here before.

The two walked on the road, and the trees on both sides blocked most of their view.

If it is summer, there will be heat waves on the roads.

"How's Yukinoshita?"

"Well, it's well managed. The student council president has been completely sidelined."

"As expected." In fact, apart from having charisma and being a soft girl who looks like she's hustling, the student council's Great Wall patrol's talents, decisive determination and firm execution are on a completely different level from Yukinoshita Yukino.

A lone and arrogant person is always strong, and Yukinoshita Yukino is exactly that kind of aloof and arrogant person, an aloof iceberg.

"There were a few people in the building opposite who were not found before, and they turned into zombies later. There were also a few injured people, but Yukinoshita dealt with them herself." This was something he admired.

Being able to do it yourself must mean that you have made many preparations.

"The organization is directly responsible for the student union. They are on guard at the door and cook. Previously, they also sent people to stick the literature department's discarded magazines on the glass to avoid being seen if there is any movement on the other side."

“We also listen to the concerns of students who come here for various reasons.”

Uesugi Genshin couldn't imagine it.

And given her style, she should be the type to insist on the correct process.

Teaching methods and urging them to move forward like herding sheep, and completing them through their own efforts, but ignoring the complexity of human nature.

Even he would not spend extra time and energy on tasks that he is not interested in but needs to be completed.

"You're so capable." Yukinoshita Yukino has also begun to change. It seems that there is no problem in entrusting this girl, who is as "introverted" as they are, to her for management.

"What about her family?"

Before, her mother called and mentioned that she was coming to pick up Yukinoshita Yukino.

"He said to let them wait a moment."

Ah... the sense of responsibility that one cannot bear to abandon halfway once accepted. He simply wanted to admire what a noble spirit of dedication this was.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Wouldn't this make him, who wanted to slack off, feel even more guilty? !

As expected, we still need to keep working hard.

"Hey...how's your business going?"

"It was fine. I was about to return, but I met an idol group on the way, and then I sent them to one of their sister's house, which took some time."

"You really have a kind heart."

Hikigaya Hachiman knew very well that the person next to him was not a fan of idols at all. In his eyes, idols were no different from ordinary people, just like himself.

Most people say they like you, but they can’t actually get in touch with you. No matter how much you do, she will just look at you more.

On the surface it is in the name of appreciation, but in reality it is sexual desire.

You spend money on handshake tickets, but they forget about you the moment they turn around, and all you get is self-satisfaction.

"Yes, we can't just leave it alone." Uesugi Genshin is a good young man who has received quality education. He thinks so and that's why he is so persistent.

The main reason for having this idea is that each life is short, just like a dream. The longest life he lived was only 24 years old. As a result, he was "ostracized by colleagues" and "bullied in the workplace" in Chang'an.

Their boss is from Liangzhou, and the upper circle is full of people from Liangzhou. They are from Bingzhou and are new here. To put it bluntly, they were acquired. Not getting paid is the least of their problems, and they are always assigned to do the dirty and tiring work.

So, his superior could no longer tolerate it and found an opportunity to "kick out" the other boss. However, after the company was reorganized, there was no substantial difference between the new leadership and the previous group.

Oh, there is still a difference, at least they have read the Analects.

"You really have enough room. Not being able to escape from anything is the way of thinking of the strong."

"Really? I'm just doing my best. A world that forces things like this is problematic."

Even Uesugi Genshin would not risk his life to save a dog that was about to be hit by a car, even if asked.

"Is it forced?..."

Hikigaya Hachiman pondered over these two words, making Uesugi Genshin feel what should happen.

"what happened?"

"Kawasaki had a younger brother who couldn't be saved." This is not something that cannot be said.

"Turned into a zombie?"

"Yes, there was a wound on his arm, and he kept crying in front of us, and finally turned into a zombie." The scene from yesterday was still vivid in his mind, "I did it."

"Feeling guilty?" The topic became heavy, and Uesugi Genshin could still see the sadness in his heart through his dead fish eyes.

"Yes."

"You are really a good person."

"Can you please stop scolding me?"

In their understanding, "good person" is a neutral word with a derogatory meaning.

First of all, it means a person who is good in every way. No matter how good a person is, he is only convenient and easy to use.

In other words, no matter what, you will be a tool that people expect.

"If you want me to say you're okay."

"Huh, so do you."

Chapter 39: Fish and the Sea

Chiba is located on the seaside, and its geographical location is basically opposite to Kanagawa, with Tokyo sandwiched in the middle.

The Mihama district where Sobu High School is located is the coastal part of Chiba.

Every day, seafood caught from Tokyo Bay enters Chiba through a place called Chiba City Wholesale Market in Mihama Ward.

In addition to fresh tuna, sea urchin or salmon roe, you can even see large chunks of bright red tuna meat with a texture as beautiful as red agate.

It is only separated from Sobu High School by a street, but to get there you have to walk along the sea until you reach the next intersection.

On the right is the sea, or more precisely, a park built along the sea with various facilities: a baseball field, a football field, an indoor sports field and a memorial hall.

Normally speaking, since it's a weekday, there should be few people hanging out in the park.

However, on the left, all the shops in the seafood wholesale market are open, and it should be packed with owners, staff, and people who come to buy ingredients during the day.

"At most, we are just investigating and reconnaissance." Hachiman repeated tirelessly.

"Don't worry, even I'm not a powerful general who can defeat thousands of enemies alone."
