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

Then, several eerie presences appeared behind him, as if a serial killer from a horror movie had suddenly appeared behind him; he had that feeling.

"And who is this?" Mai Sakurajima asked curiously, sensing something inexplicable about him.

Hayasaka Ai, standing to the side, was already aware of this. Moreover, the other person's gyaru (gal) attributes overlapped somewhat with her public persona; while described as gyaru, she wasn't actually that hot, a trait similar to Hayasaka's, and also to Sakurajima's sister, Toyohama Waka, who was standing next to her.

Lemon and orange is a sweet and sassy combination, with a refreshing aroma and a touch of stimulating flavor that really whets the appetite.

"Ah..." How should Hachiman explain this?

Xuanxin's pot.

It's so heavy.

Chapter 124: Accommodation Issues

"Let's choose a place to stay." Hachiman Hikigaya took out a few pages of apartment building layouts from the drawer of his desk in the Organization Department.

Each floor listed in detail how many people lived in each apartment and who lived there.

Just after the meal, there were only a few people in the Organization Department, and he left the people from Xiuzhiyuan to Hubu Xiang, who was eating in the canteen at that time.

I believe that guy from the Ministry of Revenue can do a good job as a tour guide.

"Can I pick whatever I want?" Kasumigaoka Utaha helped spread them out on the table.

Mai Sakurajima also took two steps forward and stood to the right of Utaha Kasumigaoka, tidying up the right side of the table.

“Yes, it’s fine,” Hachiman Hikigaya replied. “Everyone just picked randomly. I picked out a nicely furnished apartment for Genshin first, and then proceeded to the department heads and executive departments in that order.”

"Then... where does Genshin live?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up and asked directly.

Called Zhang Chu,  Zai Naan Huang Qie  Pang Quan ぷ Yan Bi Xian Dou Mo, � Long �

"Here," Hachiman Hikigaya pointed to the top left corner, "the top floor."

Kazuka Toyohama leaned closer and peeked out from behind Utaha Kasumigaoka, saying, "There's hardly anyone living on this floor."

She glanced at the apartment across the street near the elevator, noting that Hiratsuka Shizuka, Shiromai Jun, and Yukino Yukinoshita lived there, and then... nothing more.

"Ah." That's right, he lives downstairs from Xuanxin.

Once the first location was confirmed, the remaining people instinctively wanted to avoid living on the same floor as the student council vice president.

This mentality is similar to not wanting to be neighbors with one's boss, or feeling terrified that one's homeroom teacher is living across the street.

The team leaders in the executive department were terrified of this devilish minister, and most of them chose to go down to the lower levels.

No one is born with a love for scheming; everyone is a student, so the floor where Xuanxin lived was quite empty.

"By the way, each apartment needs to accommodate four people," Hachiman Hikigaya added.

"Does it have to be four people?" Kazuka Toyohama asked. She looked at several apartment maps and saw that they were indeed mostly four people per room.

“Of course, it’s not necessary.” Hachiman Hikigaya loathed this kind of forced requirement.

When I wasn't mature enough, I always worried about being left out and not being needed whenever we were grouped together.

The others quickly gathered their friends and acquaintances, each seemingly very popular, leaving me standing there looking around awkwardly.

Later, after I completely graduated from life, I stopped taking it seriously. By then, I had realized that being alone wasn't so bad.

However, there might be other, more inexperienced students. With that in mind, Hachiman Hikigaya decided to give these aloof individuals another option.

"Three people can stay, but a tax needs to be paid as a penalty for not staying at the full capacity." If his friends really want to stay more, that's perfectly fine too; he's already thought it through.

Naturally, Xuanxin, as the vice president, should set an example. His personal customized tax was deducted directly from his salary. Anyway, he wouldn't starve. He had the talent to live well no matter where he went.

Hachiman Hikigaya had initially considered whether or not to live together, but after careful thought, he decided that it might be better to separate. Now it seems that was indeed a wise decision, as expected of him.

He lived with Taishi Kawasaki and Zaimokuza; everyone on his floor was an acquaintance.

Komachi, Kawasaki, and her younger sister Kyoka. Orimoto was startled when he suddenly ran over, and Komachi's invitation for him to live with her startled him even more.

But Komachi, your brother still hopes you can build your own relationships. Your brother's feelings are a little complicated because you have such good relationships with your classmates.

Those who know this know that Yumiko Miura lives in an apartment with Yui Yuigahama, Hina Ebina, and Iroha Isshiki.

As the student council's general affairs officer, Isshiki had the right of first choice. Yui Yuigahama, who was present, kindly invited Isshiki to join them. Miura didn't say much. Isshiki, who was hesitating about whether to go with Yukinoshita, eventually swayed to Yui Yuigahama's side.

"Ah, I subconsciously felt that Yukinoshita-senpai was an enemy, so I..." Isshiki later satisfied his curiosity while working, but girl... how can you be sure that the person over there is an ally?

They also considered that Hina Ebina was his "girlfriend," so they chose an apartment diagonally opposite him that was close to the elevator and stairs.

However, Hina Ebina is often not in her own apartment, but instead wanders over to Komachi to hang out with Kawasaki (according to her own words). Although she considers Kawasaki's younger sister, Kyoka, to be the same person, she is actually a child.

As for Hayama's group, they were persuaded by Hachiman Hikigaya to go down to the next floor. After all, Hayama Hayato is the school's idol and very popular, both male and female. It's definitely quieter to stay away from him.

"Then..." After much hesitation, Kasumigaoka Utaha grabbed Kato Megumi's hand and looked at Sakurajima Mai beside her, "Together?"

“Okay,” Mai Sakurajima said with a smile, offering no objections.

Toyohama and Kazuma couldn't bring themselves to say, "Should we go to that person's apartment?"

She could only stand beside her sister, sharing the apartment across from Genshin's with Kasumigaoka and a girl named Kato.

It was Kasumigaoka Utaha who made the choice. Sakurajima Mai had no objection, Toyohama Kazuka had even less objection, and Kato Megumi tacitly agreed to have no objection.

"Then we~" Because Xiaohe is going to live with her older sister, there will be exactly four people left in the Sweet Bullet group, so...

"And what about you?" Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the blonde girl behind the group who was clearly out of touch with the others; it was Ai Hayasaka, whom he had met before.

"Ah..., I was with the people from Shuchiin..."

"Aren't all the girls from Shuchiin University male?" Kasumigaoka Utaha interrupted, as the ability to sail a boat already eliminated the vast majority of the girls.

"..." That's right, Hayasaka Ai raised her head and thought for a moment.

"Then how about...?" "With us..." Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hirokawa Uzuki each extended an invitation. They had a good impression of Hayasaka Ai and considered her a partner.

"So, what do you plan to do with the people from Shuchiin?" Hayasaka Ai asked.

"Hmm? Ah, let's find an area on the first or second floor to settle down temporarily."

The first floor is mostly uninhabited. People generally feel unsafe at this height where the street is right outside the window. But then again, it's harder to escape if you live higher up. I really don't know what they're thinking. What if there's an earthquake?

He lives on the second floor because someone else lives on the first floor. If he had to choose, the lower floors would be better, as they are closer to the ground.

"Then you can live with Yukinoshita," Hachiman Hikigaya suggested, pointing to Yukinoshita's apartment, which only housed three people.

"An accountant, huh?" Hayasaka Ai thought for a moment, "OK."

The glazed nail polishes blend together, creating a large "O" shape on the fingers.

Chapter 125: You're really something!

"Ah, ah... Eh!!! Sen-senpai, what's wrong with you? Summer vacation is still a long way off."

Some people change drastically after summer vacation, as if they have experienced all sorts of things, and some even awaken to become blond hair.

Uesugi Genshin, flipping through the documents in his hand, glanced at Isshiki Iroha at the door as if she were an idiot. "What are you talking about? There's no summer vacation anymore, Isshiki."

Instead, Hiratsuka-sensei by the window put down her cigarette and burst into laughter, "Hahaha...you're surprised too, aren't you, Isshiki? This kid even got a beauty mark under his eye, he looks quite feminine now."

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed true; her alluring posture was truly tempting. Iroha pinched her nose, "Ugh, my nose is bleeding."

"Thank you for the compliment. Don't pretend, have a seat," Uesugi Genshin said without even moving his eyes.

How could anyone get a nosebleed from excitement? It's not a comic book or anime.

"Oh, okay." Iroha Isshiki obediently found a place to sit down, and then realized, "Huh? Hayama-senpai and Yukinoshita-senpai are here too."

"Hahaha..." Hayama Hayato's smile was one of helplessness.

Yukino Yukinoshita, on the other hand, spoke in a somewhat cold tone, just like she always did: "I've always been here."

After apologizing, Isshiki Iroha turned back to Uesugi Genshin, resting her chin on her hand, and asked, "Senpai, has anyone ever told you that you're handsome?"

"Yes, I have."

"Who?"

"Parents and teachers."

Hiratsuka rubbed her forehead and shook her head, saying, "Uesugi, parents don't think their children are ugly."

"Hiratsuka-sensei, Isshiki, this is a very serious matter," Yukino Yukinoshita said to Isshiki and Hiratsuka-sensei with a hint of reproach.

"I'm sorry," Isshiki Iroha said softly, placing her fists on her knees and remaining quiet.

The lively air in the room suddenly turned cold. The source of the low pressure was not the ice beauty Yukino Yukinoshita, but Uesugi Genshin, who was sitting in the main seat.

"It's my fault." Hiratsuka Shizuka took a deep drag of her cigarette and exhaled thick smoke out the window. She shook the ash from the ashtray containing several cigarette butts.

“No, Hiratsuka-sensei, this isn’t your fault. You’ve done a great job, teacher. You’ve visited every school you could in Chiba City, haven’t you?” Uesugi Genshin asked, looking up briefly.

"Yes, I've been to most of them. There are still a few places I haven't figured out yet, but I'll go back and check them again later."

During the few days that Mr. Hiratsuka was away, he and some members of the executive department drove around all the school sites in Chiba, thoroughly searching for the students hiding there.

The number of students at Soubu High School has increased from more than 300 to nearly 500, which is the result of Hiratsuka-sensei's hard work.

In the apocalypse, people are like cockroaches, lurking in every hidden corner, living well and tenaciously.

Of course, if the water and electricity are cut off, that's a completely different story, and the survival rate of people will plummet.

However, after more than half a month of the apocalypse, people's moral bottom line has also declined sharply to some extent.

This incident involved three boys rescued from Municipal Toga High School who attempted to rape a female student from the same school in the restroom, but were stopped by passing students.

"Are you sure?" Uesugi Genshin confirmed. "It's only the man's side."

He wanted to confirm whether it was a false accusation by the girl or the result of a conflict between the two parties.

"It's confirmed." Hayama Hayato nodded with a somewhat sad expression; he didn't want to see this happen.

“It seems this kind of behavior has been going on at that school. According to this victim, a girl there also suffered long-term abuse, but died accidentally while searching for food. This time, they couldn’t resist committing evil again when they came here, so they targeted a girl from the same school. What scum.” Yukino Yukinoshita said while rubbing her temples.

Yes, Secretary Hikigaya dutifully recorded the contents of several meetings, discussing how to deal with these people.

Hayato Hayama tentatively proposed a solution when no one else spoke up: exile, but Hachiman and Yukinoshita both disagreed.

If they live nearby, they can run back. If they're a little vengeful, they might even bring back a bunch of trouble along with them.

If they are exiled far away and survive, will they develop a "what's the use" mentality and harm other survivors?

None of the three mentioned life imprisonment, and it seemed that none of them thought these people deserved forgiveness; it was simply a waste of food.

Then there's nothing to hesitate about.

Uesugi Genshin asked again, "Is it confirmed?"

“Yes, without a doubt.” Yukino Yukinoshita tucked her black hair behind her ear and looked into his eyes.

Hayato Hayama added, "Hachiman Hachiman also confirmed it himself; we tricked them into revealing that it was indeed their one-sided evil act."

With Hachiman, the probability of any oversight is extremely low.

Uesugi Genshin made the final decision, "Then let's execute him."

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't comment on this; instead, she showed a relieved expression, as if she were chewing on a piece of milk candy, with a gentle sweetness.

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

"What exactly happened?" The students gathered in the corridor whispered among themselves.

"I don't know~" I was notified to gather here right after I finished eating.

The group looked around, trying to find out what had happened.

"Ah, over there." One person pointed to the courtyard, and everyone around looked over.

Not only them, but everyone in the entire building focused their attention on the atrium.

The officers from the enforcement department escorted three masked men to the center of the courtyard. Shiroyama kicked the knee of one of the men he was escorting, causing him to kneel on both knees.

The prisoner's mind was probably still stuck in the stage of trial or public humiliation, completely unaware of what was about to happen.

"Ah~, those people." Upon seeing them, almost all the students recalled something.

After all, it was such a serious incident. Just like when an apartment in an apartment building is burglarized, it's certain that all the residents in the building would feel insecure. There's some truth to the saying that bad news travels fast.

"Look, those are the three people," the girl whispered to her companion, frowning.

"Wow, the entire executive department has been mobilized." One of the boys vaguely sensed something was amiss.
