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

The five continued on their way. Uesugi Genshin, carrying the bloodstained baseball bat, picked up another one from the road. This one had been thrown far away, so it was clean.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed silently, "Makoto-kun..."

She looked at the red sports car named Aston Martin. Just looking at the car's exterior, she had something to say, but she held back for now.

However, after Uesugi Genshin opened the car door and looked inside, even she felt somewhat helpless.

“How come this is a two-seater!” Eriri Sawamura questioned Genshin Uesugi.

"It's a sports car... so it has two seats."

"No, why did you bring a two-seater car to pick people up?"

“This…” Uesugi Genshin hesitated, trying to figure out how to say it.

But Eriri Sawamura immediately realized she had asked a stupid question, and turned her head away in embarrassment, refusing to look at Genshin Uesugi.

"Well, we can always squeeze in and find a seat."

As he spoke, Uesugi Genshin reclined the passenger seat and pushed it back forcefully to create some space.

"However... what about Aki?"

Besides Aki Tomoya himself, Uesugi Genshin, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri, and Kato Megumi all looked at Aki Tomoya.

"I need to drive. The passenger seat can probably fit two or three people if we squeeze in. My seat is fine, but An Yi..." I can't possibly squeeze in with several girls.

"It's okay, I can just lie in the trunk." Aki Tomoya was quite easygoing, saying this as he walked towards the back.

Uesugi Genshin had the same plan. After all, Aki Tomoya was a boy, and his size was definitely among the largest. To avoid taking up too much space, he could only be crammed into the trunk.

"I've wronged you."

Just right, with his legs curled up, it could fit. Aki Tomoya awkwardly took out his phone and adjusted to a comfortable position in the trunk.

"I am okay."

He now plans to go and see the fresh and vibrant male restaurant.

The trunk closed smoothly, and now it's time to explore the front space.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri, and Kato Megumi looked at each other.

After thinking for a few seconds, Uesugi Genshin made a decision: "In any case, Ms. Kato, please go in and lie down first."

"Okay." Kato Megumi obediently got into the car, straightened her skirt, and lay down on the seat.

"Then Sawamura lay or sprawled on Kato's body."

“Okay!” Eriri Sawamura also climbed into the car. She stuck out her buttocks, which seemed disproportionate to her size, and slowly moved in, finally lying down on Megumi Kato, her head resting on Megumi Kato’s chest.

Hmm, it's a surprisingly harmonious scene.

"Nakasugaoka."

"I'm fine, you can get in the car too."

"Hmm." Uesugi Genshin walked to the other side of the car and sat in the driver's seat, closed the door, and then watched as Kasumigaoka Utaha squeezed into the passenger seat and also managed to close the door.

"Ugh, it's so crowded! Kasumigaoka Utaha, you fatso!"

"It's so crowded."

"Shut up, Eriri Sawamura," even Utaha Kasumigaoka couldn't help but complain, "It really is crowded..."

In order to make way for the powerful and pleasing engine at the front, the space in the car's seats and trunk is squeezed.

Even if the car seats are reclined, not much space can be freed up.

Even excluding Aki Tomoya, the largest male, the space in one seat is barely enough for three people, not to mention that Kasumigaoka Utaha's size is not to be underestimated in some aspects; her head is on the roof and her feet are almost stuck underneath.

Uesugi Genshin casually complained, "Ah, I can't see anything in the rearview mirror."

He still remembered his habit of glancing at the rearview mirror every now and then, but now it was completely blocked.

Although these days, rearview mirrors are probably rarely used on the road...

“This won’t do,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said, continuing to squeeze in.

"Hey! Kasumigaoka Utaha, what are you doing?"

"Ahhhhhh..." Kato Megumi let out a monotone exhale, squeezing all the air out of her lungs.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had already extended her body into the driver's seat area, then twisted her body forcefully and continued forward. As her body left the passenger seat area, it became easier and easier.

...Finally, Kasumigaoka Utaha sat on Uesugi Genshin's lap.

“It’s much easier now,” Kasumigaoka Utaha concluded.

“You…” Eriri Sawamura stared in disbelief.

"Ah, that's true, it's not crowded anymore, Sawamura and I are fine."

"I see, then... let's leave it at that." Seeing that the three of them had no objections to their current positions, Uesugi Genshin couldn't offer any constructive suggestions.

His gesture of glancing left and right in the rearview mirrors caused Kasumigaoka Utaha to move further in, making room so as not to obstruct his view.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, your feet!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sawamura. If you're worried that my shoes might rub against you, you can take them off for me."

"Ha! Who wants to smell your stinky feet?!"

“Hmm, Kasumigaoka-senpai’s feet don’t actually smell.” As she said this, Kato Megumi took off Kasumigaoka Utaha’s school uniform shoes and placed them in the middle.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, seeing her shoes taken off, tucked her legs in and adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position.

"You, you shouldn't interfere with my driving..." Uesugi Genshin felt that he was not driving in the apocalypse at all, and all his tension had been worn away! He was originally quite worried about the dangers he might encounter on the way back.

"Don't worry, I won't move at all." After saying that, she pressed herself tightly against Uesugi Genshin's chest and remained motionless.

"..."

Namo.

The car vibrated slightly, the engine roared, and with Uesugi Genshin stepping on the gas, the Aston Martin started.

As the sports car drove away, the students in the tennis court began to question it.

"what should we do?"

"They've left."

Are your family members coming to pick you up?

"Don't even mention it, I can't get through on the phone."

"Those guys just walked away on their own!"

"Police! When are the police coming?!"

"Rinya, if you're safe..."

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

"Now there's another very important question: Where do we go?"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Ah~~"

"Allah......"

"You're only saying this now!"

"It's not late, it's not late. The car has just started moving. It's impossible to take everyone home as promised. It will be night in about 3 or 4 hours. There's not enough time for an accident to happen along the way. My car was badly damaged in a crash on the road."

"..."

"Then, the ammonia glass, the mortar, the stole, the creation, the astonishment, the model, the handsome."

"Ah, maybe we should send Kasumigaoka back to her house, but right now... there are four of us in total. If we make too much noise while staying there, and the house doesn't have reliable security, it could be a bit dangerous."

"How about coming to my house?"

Eriri Sawamura suggested.

Chapter Nineteen: Hiding One's True Strength

“My house is a big house, and it would be more than enough for four more people. It has a yard and a wall, and there are no people around, so it should be very safe.”

As she spoke, Eriri Sawamura felt a little smug. She had thought she didn't know where she was going to be taken, but it turned out she might be able to go home.

That's wonderful, Mom.

"Okay, what about the opinions of others?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I can't get in touch with my family either." Kato Megumi's breath tickled Sawamura Eriri's head as she spoke, making her squirm unhappily.

“Me too, so there’s no problem.” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s clear voice traveled through bone conduction, creating a buzzing vibration.

"Then let's head to Sawamura's house, alright." With that, Uesugi Genshin shifted his body, gripping the steering wheel with his left hand and reaching his right hand under Kasumigaoka Utaha's lap to reach into her right pocket.

He took out his phone, unlocked it, and threw it at Eriri Sawamura.

"navigation."

Eriri Sawamura picked up her phone, which had fallen onto her chest, glanced at Genshin Uesugi like a cat, and started using it. However, upon looking at the screen, she noticed the phone wallpaper.

Wow... this guy is an otaku, Eriri Sawamura thought with a subtle, disdainful sigh.

After all, he's that guy's friend; anyone who's involved with that fanatic otaku can't be a good person.

She didn't know which game the image came from, but she recognized the art style. It was something she had learned from an industry leader when she was slowly embarking on a path of no return.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Speaking of which, wasn't that teacher's drawing also R18?

She abruptly turned her head to look at the unassuming man beside her, her gaze a complex mix of disdain and approval.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing!"

"navigation......"

"I got it!"

"The rise of ammonia is like a veil of light, a symbol of imperial power. The ammonia ship is shrouded in mist. The handsome man runs on a boat, his body gleaming with a delicate fragrance. He flies about, his body trembling, his body trembling with fear. He is like a donkey, his body trembling with frost."

?

"Why would you think that?" They're not lovers.

"..."

"Huh? Did I misunderstand? Ah~, I thought you two were dating."

How was he supposed to answer that?

"...Well, is that how it is? Hehehe~" Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled softly, clutching her lower abdomen.

"It is said that, among the five people, he excluded himself."

This was also Kasumigaoka Utaha's question, but she obediently did not do anything that would affect her driving.

“I want to go back,” Uesugi Genshin replied matter-of-factly.

"Where to go back to?"

"Go back to school."

"School? Uh, that's not right."

"Yes, I'm a second-year student at Chiba Soubu High School, and my name is Uesugi Genshin."

"Ah~, so, Uesugi-kun, why did you choose this name? (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)"

While she and her family were traveling in Kyoto, her father picked up a light blue haori (traditional Japanese hat) with a mountain-shaped pattern printed on the sleeves, which was being sold by a vendor near Nijo Castle. He put it on, struck a pose, and, feigning composure, shouted: "Make way! Today, it is the Shinsengumi who will maintain order in Kyoto. This is the order of the Shogun!"
