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

Her physical attributes are also evident in her physique.

"You're more interesting than that Koenji."

"You called me by the right name this time," Uesugi Genshin thought to himself. "Was that on purpose just now?"

Just as ambitious people dislike other ambitious people, sociable people also like other sociable people. It seems that Kiryuin's view of Uesugi is more positive than that of Koenji. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka observed the two of them.

Just as Uesugi Genshin was about to speak, Daiki Ryuin Fuka capriciously raised her hand to stop him, saying, "Ah, but I don't want to hear it now. See you next time."

She turned and strode away in the direction they had come from, glancing at Ayanokouji as she passed, but without lingering for a moment.

"Does this mean I have to visit him three times? Or has he already refused?" Uesugi Genshin stood beside Ayanokouji.

"I don't know, but you can use your good looks to your advantage," Ayanokoji Kiyotaka suggested, understanding Uesugi's meaning.

"Are you kidding me?"

“Yes.” Nodding, with an expression that couldn’t be joking, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka suggested, “But it would be better to find an opportunity that she can’t refuse.”

You mean tonight?

“Yeah, just go over there and ambush her.” Looking across the sea, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji gestured with his eyes, “I just don’t know if she’s wearing a swimsuit or naked.”

"And what about you?" Uesugi Genshin silently turned his head and asked.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Uesugi Genshin turned his head and sighed towards the sea, "Okay, I understand."

"Okay, that's good." Ayanokoji Kiyotaka said softly, "Let's go back."

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

"How's it going on your end?" Uesugi Genshin asked Yukinoshita while eating lunch, leaning against the car.

Tear open the bread wrapper, add sliced ​​ham, and you have a decent lunch, ignoring the fact that there are no side dishes.

"It's surprisingly bad, ah, I mean the situation here." Yukino Yukinoshita continued eating elegantly in small bites, and after swallowing, she continued clearly, "There are about three thousand people who are unemployed and have nothing to do."

Even so, the other thousand-plus people can hardly be said to be working hard, while those who are truly useful are basically those with special skills.

The same people know how to sail boats, and it's always been the same people fishing. The same people also know how to farm.

Like an ordinary office worker, completely useless; that's roughly what Yukinoshita meant.

"That's really terrible."

"How's it going on your end?" Seeing the upturned corners of his mouth, Yukino Yukinoshita guessed, "Very well?"

"Yes, most of the people who can be used in the first-year B, C, and D classes are willing to come. The Executive Department can be expanded, the Security Department can also be expanded, and I plan to appoint Ichinose as the Disciplinary Committee Chairman."

"Ichinose-kun?" Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened with curiosity.

"She has the ability to persuade people. In other aspects, she is completely capable of replacing Hayama."

Hayama was already part-time on the Disciplinary Committee, with the other half being looked after by Hiratsuka-sensei. This will free up two people.

"I'm glad you think it's okay." After finishing her meal, Yukino Yukinoshita took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers. "Let's go check out where we're staying later."

"Where do we live?"

“Just now, I… was invited by Ichinose-san to stay with her. As for you, it seems you found an empty room.” Yukino Yukinoshita picked up her thermos and poured out some tea.

Uesugi Genshin took the teacup from Yukinoshita and remarked with a sigh, "I can't believe there are still empty rooms available."

"It's said that something happened to someone inside, so the place is temporarily vacant. Other people will be moved in later."

"......" So, would this be considered a haunted house?

After they finished packing, they prepared to head towards the dormitory building.

Suddenly, Yukino Yukinoshita looked in one direction and tugged at her arm, "The students over there..."

When Uesugi Genshin looked over, the other person immediately hid his head behind the pillar again.

Yukino Yukinoshita asked uncertainly, "You're watching us, aren't you?"

"should be."

That animal-like reaction was definitely from Airi Sakura.

It looks like they've come looking for him.

To be honest, this clumsy way of hiding is kind of cute.

Chapter 261: Shizuku

They probably haven't found her yet, right?

Sakura Airi silently counted to herself for a few seconds before cautiously peeking out.

Then his eyes met those of the two people standing there.

The boy even slightly raised his hand and beckoned her over.

"..."

"Is there something you need?" Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the person beside her and asked, looking at Sakura Airi, who was hunched over and had her hands awkwardly placed on her waist.

The tone was unusually gentle, because the other person was visibly afraid.

She seems to be the shy type.

“It’s that one…” Sakura Airi looked up at the other person, but he turned his head to the side as if he was looking at the scenery, which made her breathe a small sigh of relief.

"Ha..." But looking at the person who seemed to take it lightly, Yukino Yukinoshita clenched her fist and punched him in the stomach. This girl was obviously looking for him.

"Ah," Uesugi Genshin responded, turning to look at Sakura Airi.

As a result, she immediately lowered her head, her back arched even more, as if she wanted to shrink her whole body into a ball.

When people are afraid, they subconsciously want to reduce the exposed area of ​​their body, just like when they watch a horror movie and want to wrap themselves tightly in a blanket at night.

"I see," Yukino Yukinoshita nodded knowingly, arms crossed.

"Don't be nervous. Although this man's eyes are a little scary, he's definitely a good person." She pointed at Uesugi Genshin and nudged his waist with her elbow. "Smile too."

"...Suddenly you asked me to laugh." How could I possibly laugh?

Scratching the back of his head, Uesugi Genshin seemed to have figured it out as he slapped his palm, then made a peace sign with his fingers over his face and said, "Cheese~"

"It's so pretentious." Yukino Yukinoshita covered her face in distress, her palms propping up her face.

"That's so unfair." I did it exactly as she asked.

A slight smile played on her lips. She turned back to look at the other person, who was standing there dumbfounded, and spoke gently, "I am Yukino Yukinoshita, his name is Uesugi Genshin, what is your name?"

"Sakura Airi."

“Oh, it’s Sakura-san.” Nodding, Yukino Yukinoshita continued, “What brings you here?”

"Um... about leaving here, I... I don't think I should have been chosen." She stammered at first, but then spoke more fluently, finally pouring out all her thoughts. "There must be other people more talented than me, someone like me, someone like me..."

"We have our own considerations regarding this matter."

Then Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Genshin Uesugi and asked him to explain his considerations.

To be honest, I don't understand why he wanted this child. He's the type who would probably be very cute if he took off his eyes, but he has some serious personality problems. Was it out of pity?

“Hmm…” Uesugi Genshin nodded to Yukinoshita. “Yukinoshita, take out the video of Toyohama and the others from your phone last time.”

Last time, he saw Yukinoshita next to him take out her phone and briefly take pictures.

"Last time?"

She opened her phone and started using it. Uesugi Genshin glanced at it and saw that her phone screen showed the student council room of Sobu High School under the setting sun.

Besides Yukino, he was also unfortunately on screen; that must have been filmed by Isshiki.

It seems that Isshiki did take some photos secretly before.

"This?" Yukino Yukinoshita handed over the phone.

After taking the phone and confirming its contents, Uesugi Genshin flipped it over so the screen faced Sakura, and spoke into the speakerphone, "This."

"?" Sakura Airi leaned closer, her eyes behind the glasses filled with curiosity.

She was captivated by her idol's dazzling performance on the screen.

"What is this?" Sakura Airi asked, looking up as she pursed her lips.

"Yeah, we occasionally put on performances to relieve everyone's stress, so Sakura, why don't you become an idol!"

"Eh eh eh eh eh eh!!!" With her cheeks flushed, Sakura Airi stood up straight, shaking her head and hands frantically, "I I I, I can't do it."

"Aren't you an online idol?" Uesugi Genshin tilted his head.

"Is this kid an online idol?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the other person in surprise.

Indeed, the glasses do look quite radiant when taken off.

She understood a little better why Uesugi had invited Sakura. Last time, he had said that it would be a bit monotonous for just a girl like Sweet Bullet to go up there, and that someone would be needed to help share the firepower.

"But that was just on the blog, and I have no performance experience."

I do work as an online idol and a print model, but that's done behind a screen and online. If I were in front of people, I would definitely be too nervous to speak.

“It’s okay.” Sakura’s complete lack of mention of not being able to sing reassured Uesugi Genshin slightly. Sure enough, she was a Japanese high school girl. He smiled at her and said, “Just dress up nicely and stand there. It’s fine to sing one or two songs at the beginning.”

Because Sakura Airi is an idol, she is undeniably cute even just standing there.

"No, no, no, that won't do." Sakura Airi timidly pulled her arms back, denying herself again, "I... I'm very afraid of talking to other people and being in crowded places."

The more she talked, the paler her face became, and she understood that no one could survive on their own.

Therefore, I have always chosen to hide my true self and live with a mask of falsehood.

This situation remains unchanged, and if nothing changes...

"I'll help you."

These words made her raise her head and stare blankly at the other person's gentle smile.

"Don't doubt yourself. Everyone else is a good person. Let's all work together. We can't afford not to make changes now, can we?"

She needed someone to give her a push. Uesugi Genshin knew very well that this was the apocalypse, and if she stayed in a corner, she would only rot quietly.

With her dull hair, haggard face, and weak body, was she barely surviving?

So he reached out his hand in front of Sakura.

"..."

A moment later, Sakura Airi slowly raised her face and looked at the encouraging expression on the other person's face.

I couldn't help but place my hand on it, as if I were seeing light.

"Hmm, very good." Withdrawing his hand and putting it back in his pocket, Uesugi Genshin indicated that the matter was resolved.

"Is that a camera?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked curiously when she saw what Sakura was holding.

“Yes, yes, Ms. Yukinoshita.” Sakura Airi gripped the pink camera in her hand tightly.

"Don't be so nervous," Yukino Yukinoshita comforted her.

"No." Shaking her head, Sakura Airi first clutched the camera in her hand, then looked timidly at Yukino Yukinoshita and explained.

"These are some of my photos, because I sometimes like to take selfies in places where no one is around."

“I see.” Yukino Yukinoshita nodded, stroking her chin in understanding.

“Sakura is actually quite cute.” Uesugi Genshin bent down and said to Yukinoshita with a grin.

"I didn't disbelieve it."

For some reason, Yukino Yukinoshita cast a stern look at her.

"Um, would you like to see my photos?" As if remembering something, Sakura Airi reached out and handed over the camera.

"Is it okay?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, her eyes widening slightly.

"It's alright, Miss Yukinoshita." Because she's a very nice person.
