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

"Is there such a job?" Hachiman couldn't help but ask enviously.

"Of course~" Yukinoshita Haruno smiled radiantly, "Would you like to come over here?"

"Hey, hey." Uesugi Genshin interrupted, "What's with poaching people right in front of me?!"

Chapter 200: Judging People

"I'd better not." Hachiman was very self-aware; he knew very well that if he went to the other side, it would definitely not be a simple or easy job.

And at least with Genshin, things can be negotiated, but Yukinoshita Haruno doesn't seem so easy to talk to; she might be exploited to death.

I can give up my ministerial post and even my secretary position right away. I absolutely cannot give up halfway here!

"Hey~, Hikigaya-kun, what's wrong?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked. "Coming to my side will definitely be great."

"No, I still have loyalty to Soubu High." As he spoke, he looked at Genshin, "See? My loyalty."

Unexpectedly, Uesugi Genshin clicked his tongue and said, "So he saw through your lie too."

"No, no, no, I didn't see it." Hachiman shrank his neck, trying to minimize his presence.

“I never lie.” Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her chest as if making a declaration.

"Yes, yes, yes, playing word games isn't considered lying," Uesugi Genshin nodded perfunctorily.

"Well~" Yukino Yukinoshita didn't say anything, but brought up another matter, "Perfect timing, I need your help with something."

"Sure." Uesugi Genshin agreed casually, adding, "I need to check on your place first. Whether Yuihama's mother should stay here is another matter."

Although he believed Yang's promise, he still had to be careful about this kind of thing, otherwise he would be letting Yui down.

“Yes, yes.” Shrugging, Yukinoshita reminded them, “I might not be able to get my business sorted out today. Let me arrange accommodations for them first.”

"Can't you get it done today?"

"Yes, I'm going out." Yukinoshita Haruno didn't hide anything.

Uesugi Genshin and Hachiman exchanged a glance, and Hachiman spoke up, "Do you want me to help too?"

"Oh my, I never expected Hikigaya-kun to be such a helpful child." Yukinoshita Haruno chuckled. "I'm so touched, sister."

"No, I just want to keep in step with our leader." Hearing her mischievous tone, as if she could see right through him, Hachiman sighed. She was no longer going to pretend in front of him.

He was well aware of Xuanxin's thoughts.

By taking advantage of Yukino's sister complex, we can invite her to join us, thus tying together the Chiba Self-Rescue Committee and Soubu High School's tank.

Let's just leave him in a bit more of a debt of gratitude; it's perfect timing, he also wants to see more of this place.

"Should we stay here for the night?" Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her head.

“I’ll arrange accommodations for you.” Yukinoshita Haruno pinched a strand of hair next to her cheek. “It’s not actually that far, it’s in the temple over there.”

“I just saw it.” Hiratsuka Shizuka looked in the direction Yukinoshita Hinano was pointing.

“Yes, yes, that’s it.” Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile, “Recently, everyone has started praying to Buddha and gods, and Mother is thinking about whether to reopen that temple.”

From the word "opening," one can hear that Yukinoshita Haruno has absolutely no reverence for gods and Buddhas, and her tone is unmistakably contemptuous.

“The easy work is also there.” The main tasks are temple management and daily cleaning.

This job should refer to the one reserved for Yuihama's mother and the others, not Hachiman's. Are you suggesting that Hachiman should be the host?

Uesugi Genshin thought about Hachiman's attire and found it rather amusing.

"It doesn't matter."

Then he turned to look at Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yui, "If you're going to stay here tonight, would you like to go back first?"

The meaning is to let Hiratsuka Shizuka take Yui back to Sobu High School first.

"I see." Yui Yuigahama lowered her head thoughtfully. "I think I'll just stay with Mom after all."

"Ah."

"Then I'll go make the arrangements." Yukinoshita Haruno turned and went into the building behind her.

"Let the others get out of the car first," Uesugi Genshin said, opening the trunk first. Then Sabre, who had been holding back, jumped out.

I was spinning around in place, as if I was really uncomfortable in the car and felt completely relaxed after getting out.

I touched its ears, and it even came closer, just like its owner.

Yuihama's mother also got out of the car and handed the cat she had been holding back back to its owner, saying, "Here you go, Kamakura is so cute."

"Meow!"

Then Kamakura rejected Hachiman's outstretched hand and even tried to scratch him with its claws, wondering who the master was after all.

Hachiman silently stepped aside, letting the teacher help him hold him.

As a result, Kamakura easily slipped into the teacher's broad embrace... Was he the only one who couldn't do it?!

He sighed, turned to Xuanxin who was petting the dog, and said, "Luckily, we didn't put them together."

"I'm driving, I don't want to cause myself any trouble." Uesugi Genshin stopped petting the dog and rolled his eyes.

Otherwise, what if a cat and dog fight breaks out in the trunk?

Not long after, Yukino Yukinoshita came out again, followed by several people who appeared to be related staff.

"Ladies, let me show you the way." One of the women placed her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed politely.

She led the way, and they actually all knew where it was; it wasn't far, only about a hundred meters away.

Ms. Hiratsuka, Yui, and Yuihama's mother followed her with their luggage.

The rest were taken away by others, and I vaguely heard someone praising, "Your daughter is so cute."

"Thank you."

Ono, an office worker, glanced back at Uesugi Genshin and Hachiman, who were standing still, her lips trembling slightly, before turning her head and continuing to walk forward.

"Let's go eat together first," Yukino suggested.

“Okay.” Uesugi Genshin had no objection. “I’ll park the car first.”

"Just stop over there." Yukinoshita Haruno pointed to the open space next to her.

So casual!

After Uesugi Genshin parked the car, the three of them were led by Yukinoshita Haruno. They were all still carrying weapons, including Hachiman's studded baseball bat. Yukinoshita Haruno didn't say anything, so it was fine for them to carry them.

However, Uesugi Genshin, standing beside her, seemed to want to ask something, "What exactly happened?"

"Hmm?" Yukinoshita Haruno turned her head to look at Uesugi Genshin. "Ah~, ...troublesome matter."

"..." To be called trouble by her, it seems that Yukinoshita Haruno has a lot of trouble.

"Speaking of which, a woman came to my place saying she wanted to go to Zongwu High School." She brought up another matter.

"why?"

“It seems like my daughter is there,” Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.

Tilting his head, Uesugi Genshin asked, puzzled, "What's her daughter's name?"

"Mai Sakurajima."

"Huh?" Hachiman exclaimed in surprise, completely out of the ordinary.

“It does look like it’s there,” Yukinoshita Haruno said.

"Well~"

Mai's mother was still alive and had found her way here.

Mai would be very happy if she knew.

She had already thrown her phone away to distract the zombies, so she hadn't been in contact with her mother. She probably thought her mother was dead, because people tend to avoid sad things and sensitive areas.

“She’s still here. I’ll turn around and tell her you can stay here,” Yukinoshita Haruno said.

"How does she look?" Uesugi Genshin wanted to ask about her condition.

"Hmm? Pretty pretty, considering she runs a firm."

Actually, that wasn't what he really wanted to ask; he was more interested in her complexion and such.

"You know."

"Well, I sometimes see billboards for her daughter, and I've chatted with her a few times with her friends." Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't watch TV much, but Mai Sakurajima's fame is undeniable.

Even if she were to retire, the advertising contracts were still handled by her mother, so it was impossible for her to withdraw them.

"I'm quite curious, though. They chased her all the way from Kanagawa," Yukinoshita Haruno said with interest. "They said someone picked up her daughter from there and carried her all the way here from Tokyo. Are you really that kind?"

“Because she’s my friend’s older sister,” Uesugi Genshin shrugged. “And now she’s my lover.”

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback for a moment, then let out a silvery laugh, "Hahahaha...you're really something."

As if she had heard something very funny, she clutched her stomach and said happily, "That's my girlfriend over there, and my lover over here, right? And there must be a spouse and wife too."

In Japanese, "愛人" means lover, which is different from the Chinese word "愛人". This is a rather wicked joke.

She stopped laughing. "Uesugi-kun, what were you thinking? Ah~, it just so happens that both of their mothers are here."

“There’s nothing wrong with craving someone’s warmth,” Uesugi Genshin shook his head and said. “I’m not a casual person, and neither are they.”

"Hmph~, it is indeed quite cold at night." Blinking her eyes and looking ahead, Yukinoshita Haruno waved her hand, "Then I'll hold off Ms. Sakurajima for now, you'll have to thank me properly."

"Thank you, but there's no need to go out of your way. I didn't intend to hide it from them."

"Yes yes~"

Every house I passed by was inhabited, mostly elderly people, women, and children. It seemed that the young and strong had all gone to work.

However, he saw three women talking in the yard of a house, and there were many more, indicating that the house was very crowded.

Judging from this, the newly opened temple should be a nice place to stay.

"Yonai!" At that moment, a seemingly familiar greeting came from behind.

The next second, Uesugi Genshin saw the interested smile on Yukinoshita Haruno's face turn into a bright and radiant fake smile.

This gave him a preliminary understanding that the other party was completely different from him; at least what he had touched was the internal armor, while the other party was only facing the most superficial camouflage.

They turned to look at the newcomer, a young man in his early twenties with thin eyebrows, a long face, and hair that was shaved short around the sides and slightly longer on top. If Hachiman could get rid of his dead fish eyes, he would be far more handsome than Hachiman.

"Kuriyama-kun."

The man named Kuriyama froze the moment he saw Uesugi Genshin, while Hachiman was completely ignored by him.

He was silent for a moment, then looked away from Uesugi Genshin, "...Yono, may I talk to you alone?"

"Hmm? Is something the matter? We were just about to go eat together." Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the cafeteria in the distance.

Upon hearing Yukinoshita's words, he shifted his gaze back to Uesugi Genshin, his eyes filled with scrutiny, and perhaps something else.

What? What? Someone actually fell in love with Haruno-san? That's truly a hero.

Hachiman sincerely admired this man's courage, which was even greater than his own, and began to gloat over Genshin's misfortune.

"Who is he?" Uesugi Genshin covered his mouth and whispered to Yukinoshita Haruno, who was leaning over to listen.

"Go ask him." Unexpectedly, Yukinoshita Haruno also covered her mouth and whispered in his ear as if she were telling him a secret.

This stunned the other person, whose gaze then turned into undisguised hostility.

“I asked you who you are, and then Haruno asked me to ask you.” Uesugi Genshin said, leaving Haruno Yukino’s warm breath behind him.

“I am Masanobu Kuriyama, and my father is one of the members of the committee that oversees this place.”

These words made Uesugi Genshin glance at Hino, whose expression remained unchanged, and he thought to himself, "Democracy..."

Wow~, that tone, Hachiman thought to himself, quite impressive.

"I've never seen you before. Are you a newcomer?" Kuriyama said arrogantly to himself.

"Ah, so be it."

"Since you are Yang Nai's friend, I'll take care of you a bit. I'll go and talk to the person in charge of this."

"Oh, that's really something." Uesugi Genshin listened to these words that were half threatening and half warning, but his heart was completely unmoved. He was more like thinking, where did this idiot come from?
