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

"Is it okay?" Yui Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief.

"no problem."

"Then I'll leave it to you." She pressed her forehead against his back again.

I kept saying thank you, and if this continued, I felt like Yuihama was about to cry.

"Want to play a game?" Uesugi Genshin suggested.

"Hey?"

"Want to play together?"

"But I..."

"Yuihama, haven't you played this before?"

"No, I have played them. Because my dad loves playing games, I also like watching him. Sometimes I play a little bit, like Mario Kart and Puyo Puyo, and smaller games like Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon."

Small, I guess you're referring to handheld consoles...

However, the games Yuihama mentioned are all educational games, which are suitable for children of all ages.

"Want to try what I just played?"

"Is it okay? Won't it be a little difficult?" Yui Yuigahama asked worriedly.

"You'll know once you try it. Monster Hunter is a national game, with a reputation similar to Dragon Quest." Uesugi Genshin opened the game console. There was no Mario Kart on it, but that was the only one he could play.

"Could I borrow your timber stand?"

"Okay~" Yoshiteru Zaimoto said happily, while letting out a sigh of laughter.

He handed the handle of the timber stand to Yuihama, and Uesugi Genshin taught her how to create a new character, go through the tutorial, choose equipment, and then hunt her first dragon.

She uses a bow, a ranged weapon that has been greatly modified and is much more effective, suitable for use by one person when there are two people.

"We did it!!!" Yui Yuigahama looked happily at the first dragon they had defeated, excitedly raised the controller, leaned her body, rested her head on Genshin Uesugi's shoulder, and grinned foolishly.

"Congratulations." Uesugi Genshin congratulated him, his hands still busy collecting materials from the dragon's body.

"Am I amazing?" Slightly overconfident, she finished collecting her materials before the countdown ended.

"Mmm, that's really impressive."

"By the way, why does Xiaoxuan want to play in the game club? There are game consoles in the apartment, right?" Yui Yuigahama asked curiously.

"Oh, there's no Monster Hunter there, but there is Mario Kart."

"Then, can I come visit you sometime?" Yui Yuigahama asked softly.

"anytime."

"Ok!"

Not planning on starting another game, Uesugi Genshin stretched and placed the controller on the ground. He sighed, "Suddenly I want to play a visual novel."

"Hello, hello..." Qin Ye called out, was this something he could say in front of a girl?

"Galgame?" Yui Yuigahama tilted her head. She had heard of it, but didn't know the specifics.

Just like she knew that adult films existed, but had never seen or even watched them.

“I want to play too.” Yoshiteru Zaimokuza said regretfully, “Unfortunately, such treasures have been scattered to various corners, and we need to go and collect them.”

Uesugi Genshin didn't pay attention to Zaimokuza's chuunibyou remarks, but he did remember, "I haven't played the new Memories Off game yet."

"8?" Qin Ye pushed up his glasses. "Actually, I think 6 is the best masterpiece, if I could rewatch it."

"No, the art style is constantly improving. As for the actual route 6, apart from Chloe, it's still okay, but there's absolutely no motivation to continue with the other routes right now," Uesugi Genshin said, shaking his head.

"It seems that the Lord Commander must really like Chloe's sister Noelle from episode 8." Sagami guessed the truth.

"Yes. However, the downside is that the producers always like to add some deep-seated hatred to the female protagonists, which is really too much of a rip-off."

"Dad?" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza strongly agreed with this novel word. "It really is a 'trap' for 'Dad'."

“No!” Sagami retorted, “That’s exactly what makes the female characters more well-rounded. I was very moved when I played the game.”

“Then when can we go to Akihabara?” Uesugi Genshin said casually.

"Really?" Sagami hurriedly confirmed, and even Qin Ye was attracted and tempted.

“Really.” Uesugi Genshin looked at them. “But this requires our joint efforts. Akihabara is a disaster area where zombies have broken out. If you guys don’t become strong, I can’t go there alone.”

"Oh, I suddenly feel motivated." Qin Ye clenched his fist tightly, suddenly feeling that his daily exercise had a new meaning.

Cai Muzuki pointed westward, "Yoshi! Let's go to Kyoto together!!!"

"Target: Kyoto!!!" Sagami was also infected by the air.

"Shangluo, shangluo, shangluo..."

Seeing the three of them making a ruckus, Uesugi Genshin chuckled, "Really."

He turned to look at Yui Yuigahama.

"Hey hey hey..."

She was there smiling too.

Chapter 144: What do you take their home for?

"Senpai, I'm here to play." Isshiki Iroha suddenly pushed open the door that had been opened with a key.

The playful remark made Uesugi Genshin frown. He first looked up at the clock on the living room wall. It was already past 8 p.m., and it was pitch black outside the window. The sea in the distance disappeared into the darkness and could not be seen.

"Where did you get the key?" He didn't recall giving her a spare key.

"Hmm?" Iroha Isshiki stepped aside to let the person behind her in, then took off her shoes and smacked as she walked in. "Of course, it's for Yukinoshita-senpai."

"Yah hello~" Yui Yuigahama and Genshin Uesugi made eye contact. "Ah, did I disturb you?"

The evidence for this is that Uesugi Genshin was sitting on the carpet, with a piece of paper on a small table in front of him, and a calligraphy brush in his hand.

"No." Uesugi Genshin took a deep breath. When a girl asks this kind of question, even if you have a yes, you should say no.

"So, what are you doing?" With her characteristic arrogance, Miura Yumiko walked up and sat down next to him, her two slender white legs together. A fresh fragrance, mixed with a faint dampness, immediately filled the air.

She must have just taken a shower; her long, golden hair was softly curled, not oily, but rather a color that indicated her hair was in very good condition.

She brushed aside the curls near her ear, revealing her delicate ear, and looked down at the papers on the low table, speaking with great interest.

"Hey~, it's drawn really well."

"What?" Isshiki Iroha stood behind Uesugi Genshin from another direction, bending down. "Senpai, a sparrow you drew?"

The complete set of calligraphy supplies I brought from the calligraphy department included a sheet of Xuan paper held down by a round, turquoise paperweight, and an inkstone filled with ink next to it.

The paper depicts simple yet intricate branches, with a small sparrow perched at the tip of one branch.

"So cute~" Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but praise as she looked at the sparrow she had drawn.

“Indeed.” To everyone’s surprise, Yumiko Miura agreed.

Well, they probably think that small things are cute.

"This is spiritual practice."

“Cultivation?” Yui Yuigahama didn’t understand.

“A practice of tranquility.” There are many things I want to do that are much more interesting than this, so calming down and focusing on the paper is a form of mental training.

Tips for staying calm and composed at any time.

He learned this skill from the instructors at the Edo Training Hall in his previous life. Back then, one or two of his fellow students had this special interest. They were truly respectable scholars and gentlemen, capable of wielding swords as sword masters or serving as ministers in the cabinet. They would sometimes even go to Yoshiwara to play with courtesans.

Uesugi Genshin put down his brush. "By the way, why did you all come here?"

"Yui-senpai said she had already made arrangements with her," Isshiki Iroha explained on her behalf.

"Hehehe..." Yui Yuigahama didn't expect everyone to come over.

“Yui and the others have all come over, so I’m all alone in the apartment now.” Miura Yumiko stared at him with her beautiful emerald-green eyes, which were as striking as cat’s eyes.

"I see." Uesugi Genshin shrugged, and said, "Welcome."

Well, Iroha Isshiki coming is quite fitting for her feigned love of lively occasions. Yui Yuigahama was already arranged, but Yumiko Miura was unexpected.

"Senpai, are you finished drawing?" Isshiki Iroha crawled over from the other side on all fours, her pink knees rubbing against the carpet, her blue tank top leaving a white area exposed.

However... what doesn't exist simply doesn't exist.

Therefore, Isshiki Iroha perfectly fits the Japanese definition of kawaii; she's small and petite, and she's the very epitome of kawaii.

Uesugi Genshin calmly turned back to look at his painting. "It's still a little short. There's still the inscription to write."

"Hmm..." I was just about to offer some fan service, but she didn't even glance at it! Iroha puffed out her cheeks.

On the contrary, Yumiko Miura curled her lips into a smile, thinking, "How naive."

"Let me see." She was about to subtly move closer to him.

Suddenly, the sound of a key being inserted came from the apartment door.

"!" In an instant, Miura Yumiko sat up straight.

"?" Yui Yuigahama was startled by the movement, but was quickly drawn to the commotion in the entryway.

"Shiyu? Welcome." Uesugi Genshin looked at the newcomer and said with a smile.

"There are so many people." Kasumigaoka Utaha was shocked by the scene in the living room as soon as she entered the door, even though she had hesitated in the bathtub for a long time.

result!

She looked annoyed. "Looks like I came at the wrong time."

"?" Uesugi Genshin tilted his head, wondering where to begin with this.

"Ah, want to play together?" Yui Yuigahama raised her hand and shook the controller next to the PS5. She hadn't put it away after playing yesterday; it was still in the same place as yesterday.

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know how to answer.

"Brother?" A small head popped out from behind Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Ah, Rumi-chan." Yui Yuigahama waved and greeted him.

“Oh~” Uesugi Genshin replied, “One more touch, welcome.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha was startled; where did this child come from?

"Ha... she said she wanted to come and play too." Yukino Yukinoshita appeared from behind Rumi Tsurumi, covering her forehead with a slightly troubled expression.

If Isshiki Iroha goes to ask for the key, she will definitely explain that she came here to play.

Uesugi Genshin beckoned and hugged his younger sister, Sane, in his arms. "Well, it's fine."

His younger sister instinctively wanted to get close to him, and he was overjoyed.

Snow beneath the snow is the root of all my troubles, for no reason at all.

And so, Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka sat on the sofa, and Utaha Kasumigaoka began to chat with Yukinoshita as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

“Fish, pork bones, and chicken—we can actually make those ourselves,” Shiyu said, talking about the ramen she had for lunch.

The head of the culinary department unusually used a home-style soup mix, which only needs to be dissolved in hot water, eliminating the need to slowly simmer various ingredients to make the soup base.

Of course, it lacks flavor, but we have to compromise if we don't have the ingredients.

The bean sprouts on the ramen are a rare fresh vegetable, because beans can be found in the supermarket, so bean sprouts can be grown.

In Japan, besides cabbage, bean sprouts are also an important part of the staple vegetable list.

It doesn't take up much space, so much so that most of the second floor of the cafeteria is used for this purpose.

I also considered planting beans directly. Now is the perfect time for spring sowing, so planting them in late April would be ideal.

However, the ripening period is rather long, and it takes until autumn to bear fruit, which brings great uncertainty.

Therefore, we could only stop at sprouting beans, but the seed portion was carefully preserved.

“However, chickens and pigs are a bit troublesome.” Yukinoshita had also given it serious consideration.
