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

I want to be a lion!

Lions are large, well-proportioned, with long, graceful limbs and eyes as charming as those of cats.

When the young male lions in the tribe grow strong enough, they will defeat the old king of a lion group and become the new ruler.

The lionesses in a lion pride are basically stable. They usually stay in the same lion pride from birth until death, although the lion pride will also accept new lionesses.

But male lions are often rotated, either being driven away by younger, stronger and more attractive males, or running away from home to find new love and family.

He was driven out of the lion group in his youth and embarked on a journey in the wilderness alone. In the wilderness, there were young people who were inexperienced in the world, middle-aged adventurers who still exuded charm, and a down-and-out king who was defeated and driven away.

These vagrants sometimes act alone and survive in obscurity, and sometimes simply form alliances. Before one of their members conquers another lion group, they are good brothers who share weal and woe, wandering around the grassland and tracking migrating prey groups.

It is said that some male lions are so powerful and charismatic that they can control other nearby lion groups and maintain two "homes" at the same time.

In a group, male lions do not need to be responsible for any labor. They only need to have the military power to defeat the invading enemies. They can be said to live a life of luxury.

From being young and promising at the beginning to being charming in adulthood, even if you are old and replaced by a new young lion in the end, you will have lived a life that is worthy of your life.

It's even better that everything was achieved through force.

If there is an afterlife, I must become a lion!

There are only a few classes a week, let alone biology classes. If he wants to hear the teacher's comments on this essay, he will probably have to wait until next week.

Turning the pen in his hand, Uesugi Genshin thought about next week and was eager to be with the brother who wanted to be the lonely "bear".

"Ah."

The first class ended smoothly, and the second class was math, which was completely unnecessary.

I opened the manuscript, reviewed yesterday’s progress, and started to do the final touches.

During lunch break, we ate bread on the rooftop. In fact, the lunch boxes we brought to school were mostly cold food, not as delicious as we imagined. We also had to endure noisy crowds and long waits in the cafeteria.

So he chose to eat pineapple buns. Although there was a strange species of fried noodle bread with carbs and carbs, he still chose the monotonous and simple sweet taste.

In addition to the stairs at both ends, there are also stairs in the middle of the teaching building, called the central staircase. The lock leading to the top of the building is broken and no one has repaired it. This is a secret known to only a few people.

The rooftop offers a clear view of the entire school, but the town in the distance is blocked by several buildings taller than the school, so you can't see too far.

But nothing has happened until now. I looked through the news on my phone and there is no official news. Is the information blocked?

The domestic Internet is completely silent. I wonder what’s happening on the external Internet?

As I turned around and prepared to sit on the chair, I saw my aloof "bear" brother, Hikigaya Hachiman, who was also here to eat on the rooftop.

"If you come, say hello."

"That's not necessary."

Uesugi Genshin sat on the other side of the chair, with his right leg crossed over his left knee and his back leaning against the chair.

It is very convenient to be able to eat in a quiet place, at your own pace, without having to worry about anything.

And compared to the atrium which was full of couples, there weren't many people there.

"Is it delicious?" Uesugi Genshin took a look at Hachiman's bread and sausage.

"very common."

"Where is Komachi's bento?" Hachiman has a younger sister, who is very well-behaved, obedient and lively.

"There are no leftovers from yesterday." Hachiman's rotten eyes stared straight ahead, and only after he had swallowed the food would he lower his head to take a bite.

"Ah..." Uesugi Genshin understood.

The two of them ate in silence, and the philosophy of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping was implemented by them to the fullest.

The sea breeze blowing from the rooftop is very comfortable, and there is no summer heat. After all, it is still spring.

He had no intention of telling Hachiman about what happened yesterday. In many works, people always think about these crucial details. It would have been better if the protagonist had told his companions earlier.

But the reality is that there are many concerns in various aspects.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Yeah." Hikigaya Hachiman walked without any hesitation.

After he left, Uesugi Genshin lay down on his side on the chair. He didn't think sleeping in a public place was a good thing, so he lay down because there was no one around. What's more, he didn't intend to sleep on the table in the noisy class. The lunch break in school was very short, and there was no time for drinking water. He also didn't intend to go to the health room.

He didn't sleep well yesterday and kept looking through various messages on his mobile phone. He wanted to buy a knife. Only with a knife by his side could he feel at ease.

Strictly speaking, I have stayed up late, and I felt sleepy as soon as the gentle breeze blew.

Just... just sleep for a while.

He slowly closed his eyes.

Chapter 6: Sudden Wind

I woke up because of a daydream. I can’t remember the whole dream anymore, it was just a sad dream.

Even my mood when I woke up became extremely bad. I didn't know when the arm covering my eyes had moved to my forehead.

It should be that after falling asleep, the eyes that were pressed felt uncomfortable and they moved away unconsciously.

"It sucks."

Just look straight ahead and you can see the bright sky. The sky here is no different from the one in my hometown. The modern gray-blue color is not as clear as before.

There were piles of large white clouds, as thick and solid as cotton candy, but the sun was not hiding behind the clouds, which was why the brightness in the dream was too high.

"what......"

Uesugi Genshin reached out and took out his cell phone, looking at the time. The first class was already halfway through.

His face instantly turned into embarrassment.

He swears to God, he really had no intention of skipping class.

Not urgent.

Since it was already late, he might as well be late as possible. He sat up slowly.

There was no one in the atrium and it was very quiet, but on the other side some noises could still be heard because some classes were having physical education class.

The physical education classes here basically teach everything, with a lot of variety, including volleyball, track and field, tennis, football, table tennis and other sports.

The wind on the rooftop became much cooler in the afternoon, and it felt especially comfortable to caress my face. Cicadas don't appear until summer, so there are no noisy chirping sounds of insects courting mates. All the sounds that enter my ears are very comfortable.

Uesugi Genshin rubbed his dry lips and decided to go to the vending machine downstairs to buy a bottle of drink.

Every time he went down a floor, he would walk a little slower, mainly because he was afraid of being seen by someone in the corridor.

"Haha." Even he felt ridiculous for being so cautious.

The slowing down for the turn was carried out perfectly and there were no "accidents".

He dropped the coins from his wallet in and chose a bottle of citrus soda.

Walking around the campus, savoring the flavors.

We didn't go to the courtyard, which is surrounded by enemies and is a dangerous place.

As we approached the exit, there was a large pillar in the middle. The surrounding windows could reflect the setting sun in the afternoon and evening. Every student from Sobu High School had to pass through here when leaving the building after school.

Simply sit at the stairs at the exit of the teaching building and kill time like this until the first class is over and then go back.

"Ok?"

Is there anyone coming in at this time?

If that's the case, then he has to move and leave here.

I saw a figure appear at the school gate.

Because it was school time, the gate was closed and guarded by security guards of course.

The man suddenly appeared at the gate of Sobu High School with his shoulders shrugged.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" The security guard at Sobu High School performed his duties diligently.

The visitor did not respond.

The security guard always felt like he was rolling his eyes and feeling provoked.

Then the man began to bang his body against the door, and heavy "Duang" sounds were heard one after another.

"Hey!" The security guard was frightened by this unreasonable action.

"This is a school! Please leave if you have nothing to do." He retreated and still no response came.

No, the sound coming from the low moaning voice was, "Uh..."

Even the security guard thought that this man was sick. He clenched the walkie-talkie in his hand, and finally put it down.

He thought about opening the door first and seeing what was going on.

But the moment he opened the door, the man stumbled in.

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

Uesugi Genshin always felt that what was happening far away was a little strange.

I always feel a sense of déjà vu. This feeling seems to be very old, so old that... it seems a little strange.

It seems...it seems like it was the first time he watched anime in his life!

He clenched the bottle tightly in his hand. Fortunately, he had finished drinking it, but the huge force still made it bunch up.

Uesugi Genshin suddenly realized something, turned around and went back into the teaching building.

It only took two steps to climb two floors in a few seconds.

Running in the empty corridor, because of the fast speed, the noise is also loud, and the sound of "dong dong dong" echoing in the corridor is the sound of running.

He slid and stopped at the main entrance of Class 2F. Of course, this was not his class. His class was Class E.

Uesugi Genshin took a deep breath and put on a pleasant smile.

"Bang bang."

"Please come in." A casual female voice came from the podium in the classroom.

Uesugi Genshin opened the door, "Excuse me, Hachiman-san, is Hikigaya Hachiman here? Mr. Tanaka wants to see him."

"Hikigaya?" The Chinese teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka at the podium looked a little confused.

The idea of ​​someone going to look for Hikigaya, his student, was simply unheard of.

"Tanaka..." She was thinking about which Tanaka.

Uesugi Genshin had already turned his head and waved to Hikigaya Hachiman, who was sitting in the middle of the classroom wall.

This guy......

Hikigaya Hachiman was almost certain that this guy was lying, he didn't think anyone would cause trouble for him.

“This guy…” wasn’t the one I met at the convenience store yesterday.

Yumiko Miura, who was sitting near the real protagonist's seat, frowned.

It turns out that he knows the autistic boy in our class.

Because part of the syllables in Hikigaya, "Hiki", sound the same as that of autistic boy, that's how she remembered the lonely guy in the class.

"Hiki..." So it was this person. She had an impression of him. He seemed to be Hiki's only friend in another class?

The girl with a bun, Yuigahama Yui, also looked over at the first moment.

"Hey, this boy is so gloomy, is there such a person in our school?"

"Ah...I think I know."

"This, this seems to be the weirdo from Class E?"

"Weirdo...what weirdo?"

There was a commotion in the class.

"Bang, bang..." The sound of books hitting the podium, "Be quiet, it's class time."

Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her head with her chalk-dust covered hands and turned to look.

"what......"
