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

Chapter 80: The moon is beautiful tonight

Uesugi Genshin subconsciously wanted to get away from this place and took two steps back.

It would be best if you could pretend that you didn't see it. If you put yourself in their shoes, how would it feel if someone saw you crying at this moment?

Thinking of this, he took two steps forward and returned to Miura Yumiko's sight.

Miura Yumiko stopped looking at him and turned to look at the ground in front of her.

Not saying "go away" at least shows that she and him are not strangers or classmates, so are they friends? His definition of friends is quite high, but the other party doesn't know.

Uesugi Genshin walked to the ground near her and sat down, putting the plastic bag in his hand beside him.

An atmosphere of silence permeated the two of them. The other party was reluctant to speak, and he had no intention of wasting time here.

"I'm sorry, if I was sad somewhere and someone I know saw me and left without saying a word, I would worry that she would tell others about it, so I won't say anything." Uesugi Genshin explained the reason why he sat next to me.

Once bitten, twice shy.

The incident in the class before gave him a great shock. He now understood the regrets of most female high school students and developed empathy for Hachiman.

Once there is any sign of trouble, it will spread throughout the class immediately. We can't be any more idle!

For people with sensitive and fragile minds, this kind of thing will be remembered for a lifetime.

After saying that, he took out toilet paper from his trouser pocket and placed it on Miura Yumiko's sleeve.

"Where's your handkerchief?" she finally responded.

"99.1% of people in Japan use handkerchiefs, and I am that 0.9%." Uesugi Genshin expressed his pride in being a minority.

"Where's Yui's?" Miura Yumiko looked at the handkerchief tied on the palm of Uesugi Genshin with bloodshot eyes. It was light blue, not the pink that Yui had worn before.

"Ah~, that one is covered in blood, so Yukinoshita replaced it for me with a new one. Come to think of it, after washing it, I haven't returned it to Yuigahama yet."

Thinking about it this way, it seemed that Miura's handkerchief was lost at that time, and Uesugi Genshin began to consider whether to keep the whole pack of toilet paper.

The red corners of her eyes were so heartbreaking that they made people think too much.

"I'm leaving first." Uesugi Genshin stood up and decided to go back today.

He picked up the plastic bag and was about to leave when his trouser leg was pulled. He looked down and saw that Miura Yumiko was not looking at him, but looking ahead. But this action...

So he sat down again.

But the other party still didn't speak, Uesugi Genshin began to think about why he stayed.

"Let me guess why you're crying.....it's because of Hayama, right?"

Only matters of the heart would make her alone on the rooftop; for everything else, she would definitely be with Yuigahama Yui and the others.

"Don't worry about it, Ye Shan will be the same as before, so you don't have to take it to heart."

"Hayato... is the one who is most reluctant to destroy the current relationship, but I don't want that." Maybe because she had been crying, her voice was clearer.

"Confession failed?"

"No, the confession was stopped in advance." She wiped her wet eyes with toilet paper.

“…” It’s hard to say which one is worse.

"Then it's not a failure. Just regroup and start over. I think if you wait a little longer, your chances of success will be higher."

"No, no, Hayato..." Miura Yumiko shook her head, and the fragrance from her curly hair wafted over.

"No, wait for the moment that touches him, so that he will fall in love with you."

Does that mean you don't love me now? Miura Yumiko smiled bitterly, "Isn't this just a forced move?"

This is the understanding after being rejected.

"Love grows over time, that's what it is. Even if you confess to Ye Shan in front of everyone, he might not be able to refuse you due to the situation."

"How is it possible? This kind of thing will trouble Hayato." He didn't want to cause trouble.

And girls want pure and innocent love.

"Realistic love means using any means necessary, while ideal love depends on fate." So he has been looking for it. To Shiyu, he is the ideal one. Although it was a fraud to him at the beginning and he later leaned towards the ideal, as long as he is happy in the end, it's fine.

"What about you? What would you do?"

"What should I do?" The confession was stopped?

Uesugi Genshin thought about it and gave an answer, "Generally speaking, I would end it. Waiting without seeing the end, without results or promises, would make people despair. There are so many beautiful things in the world. There must be someone who will look at the same place as me under the same sky."

He looked up at the stars in the night sky. As the lights in the city gradually went out, they were emitting their own light. Perhaps soon, the entire Milky Way would be visible here too.

"It's a full moon tonight." They sat on the rooftop and could see more clearly.

"Very beautiful." Yumiko Miura murmured.

"Yeah, the wind is comfortable too." That's why he wanted to drink on the rooftop, but he didn't expect to encounter an incident.

As expected, "I'll go back first."

"I understand." Yumiko Miura said softly, was she referring to what she was saying now or just now?

After everyone left, she continued to look at the night sky, then picked up the pack of toilet paper that someone had left here, took out a piece, and wiped her nose.

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

On the way back, I ran into Yuigahama Yui who was walking upstairs.

"what......"

"Oh." Uesugi Genshin greeted.

"Hello, Xiaoxuan, are you taking a walk?" Yuigahama Yui waved her hand.

"If it's just for the sake of aimlessness, no, I plan to go back."

"Have you seen Yumiko?"

"Are you looking for her?"

"Well, Hime suddenly said something. It was very late and she wanted to find Yumiko and come back." Yuigahama Yui was a little confused.

"I heard what she said. She was watching the stars on the rooftop."

"Really? Then I..."

"Speaking of which, Yuigahama, your handkerchief is here with me. I want to return it to you. Please follow me."

Yuigahama Yui crossed her fingers in front of her chest, moved shyly, and began to hesitate, "No, you don't need to."

"Follow me." Uesugi Genshin walked straight forward.

"Hmm..." Since Yuigahama Yui knew that Yumiko was fine, she obediently followed her.

When the door of the classroom was opened, Yuigahama Yui peeked inside from the door.

"what are you doing?"

"Ahahahaha, this is my first time in a boy's room."

"......" Does this count? ...Yes, it does.

"Did you take that?" Yuigahama Yui pointed curiously at the blanket on the table over there.

"Well, I brought it back from outside and planned to spread it on the floor as a mattress."

"Eh? Why not cover yourself?"

"Because the ground is dirty, just cover yourself with clothes."

"Oh, I see. Hehehe, we don't have that. Koto and the others only brought back a bunch of food and clothes." Yuigahama Yui recalled the noisy scene. Koto was still bragging loudly to Himena at that time. Later, Hayato called Himena out for some reason and the situation calmed down temporarily.

"Those idiots~, what happened to them?"

"They're very energetic, but a little noisy. Ah! It was you who asked them to drink." Yuigahama Yui discovered the truth and looked at him with contempt.

“Hahahahahaha…” Uesugi Genshin laughed, “Sorry.”

"Really, I just hope they can be quiet when they sleep." She puffed up her pink cheeks and said in a pretended angry tone.

"My reasons. Um..." Uesugi Genshin thought for a moment. Acting crazy while drunk was indeed rude. He handed over the blanket on the table and said, "Here, you girls can use it. This is my apology."

"Huh? No need. What about you?" Yuigahama Yui hurriedly refused, using both her head and hands.

Uesugi Genshin patted the other one and said, "I have another one here." Then he stuffed the blanket over to him.

"Then... I'll accept it." Yuigahama Yui nodded and immediately turned her head away, her face flushed red.

The girls can squeeze together, no problem. It’s probably just like that these days.

In the first few days, Youmiko slept with her back to me, but in the past two days, I slept with her in my arms.

But Yumiko smells good, nice and soft, hehehe...

"Here's a handkerchief for you." Uesugi Genshin handed over the pink handkerchief.

"Um, hey, is this your handkerchief, Xiaoxuan?" Yuigahama Yui reached out to take it, but her eyes saw the one tied on Uesugi Genshin's hand.

"This is Yukinoshita's. I don't have my own handkerchief, so I borrowed hers temporarily." Uesugi Genshin waved the blue one in his hand.

"......" Yuigahama Yui paused as she stretched out her hand, "Is it Koyuki's?"

"?" Uesugi Genshin tilted his head and asked, "Do you know her?"

“No.” Yuigahama Yui shook her head, “But doesn’t her name contain snow?”

what......

"Then I'll give you my handkerchief." Yuigahama Yui pulled her hands back and put them behind her back, tapping her toes on the spot.

"Huh? Is everything okay?" Handkerchiefs have a special importance to Japanese people and are habitually used in all occasions.

"Ah, some of my blood is on it and can't be washed off." Uesugi Genshin also thought that he should just hold on to it.

Then the handkerchief was snatched away by Yuigahama Yui, "If you think about it carefully, it's really weird for a boy to use a pink one. I'll find a new handkerchief of a different color and give it to you."

"That's fine too." Uesugi Genshin put down his hand.

In fact, it doesn't matter if there is no handkerchief. Toilet paper can be used at any time and thrown away at any time. He thinks it is much more convenient than a handkerchief. When he was in elementary school, his family also let him bring one. His mother picked out mint green and pansy colors, but he didn't use it at all later.

The door suddenly opened, and the figure of Ebina Hina appeared, "Hello, Yui, Uesugi."

"Hina! How do you know this place?" Yuigahama Yui asked in surprise.

"I was looking for Saki Saki next door, and then I heard your voice, Yui, you are..."

"Ahahaha, but Yumiko has been found. She's on the rooftop. Let's go there together."

"Ah, well, I think I can look for her later." Ebina Hina avoided the question.

So the reason for coming out is not just to find Miura Yumiko.

Uesugi Genshin sat on the chair, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you go now, maybe she has already gone back."

"Oh, I see. Thank you." Hina Ebina thanked with a sincere smile.

"Then I'll play next door for a while, Yui, do you want to join me?" I don't want to go back now~

"I, I don't need it. I'll go find Yumiko." Yuigahama Yui thought for a while and said.

"Bye~" "See you, Xiaoxuan."

"See you."

The classroom was empty except for him.

He picked up the pile of blankets on the table. Well..., he originally planned to keep one for himself and give the other to the hard-working accountant. She couldn't fall down.

Now there is only one left.

"...Go and see, she is still working overtime." Uesugi Genshin picked up the blanket and walked out of the classroom.
