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

The area within a certain range was illuminated by the reflection of the painted metal of the container.

Uesugi Genshin followed silently behind her, somewhat puzzled. Did Kiryuin really need the light?

At that very moment, an incredibly fast back kick, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, came hurtling towards him.

Uesugi Genshin hurriedly retreated, staggering as he dodged. Because it was a sudden attack, he hadn't anticipated it beforehand and relied solely on his body's instincts and reflexes, almost losing his balance.

He bent down and squatted, reducing the exposed area of ​​his body, while his hand subconsciously moved towards the hilt of the knife. It was the same knife that had been used to cut the chipped blade. He had only brought one spare, but the one he lent to Ayanokouji broke.

However, Kiryuin Fuka did not pursue him, which caused his hand to stop in mid-air. Nevertheless, his body remained tense so that he could react in time.

"I held back this time, but I won't hold back next time." Kiryuin Fuuka put her hands on her hips and beckoned with her right hand in an inviting gesture.

It seems a bit familiar.

But Uesugi Genshin still asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Ah, so you mean I'll only listen to you if you've fought me once." With an expression that said, "You still don't understand?", Kiryuin Fuuka then assumed a fighting stance.

"Empty-handed?" Although it was a redundant question, Uesugi Genshin still asked it.

Among the items Kiryuin left there, besides the bag containing clothes, there were also weapons.

"Of course, oh!" As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-haired beauty rushed towards him.

It’s difficult.

Uesugi Genshin withdrew his hand from mid-air and dodged backward.

With astonishing force, Kiryuin Fuka's inner fist aimed straight at his face. Although her fist was slender, it delivered such a vicious attack.

Then, she aimed at her vital spot and kicked fiercely.

"What's wrong? Fight back." Kiryuin Fuka took a few steps back and returned to the bright light.

Seeing this, Uesugi Genshin understood that the other party would not give up without a fight.

He took a few steps forward and returned to the bright spot.

The next second, both sides started moving, and the distance between them was rapidly decreasing.

The difference is that Uesugi Genshin chose a defensive counter-attacking style. Most of his unarmed techniques were used in conjunction with weapons because he had never learned any orthodox fighting styles.

Although he was skilled in archery and horsemanship and proficient in various martial arts, that was all he knew: some jujitsu techniques and rural wrestling skills that were attached to swordsmanship.

She took Kiryuin's punch; it was heavy. It was not the strength a girl should have, but it was also expected.

The beautiful body I just saw was clearly the result of training. It's not that bigger muscles mean greater strength; the strength of her slender yet taut forearms far exceeded my expectations.

This is the basis for the physical ability rating of A+.

As the fight progressed, he noticed something amiss. While his unarmed combat skills were at least based on real combat experience, Kiryuin's moves seemed rather rigid and formulaic.

"Can't you strike a more respectable pose?"

With the battle progressing to this point, Kiryuin Fuka, who had gained a slight advantage, regrouped and raised her fist with a clearly happy expression.

"A decent pose, huh?" The problem is he doesn't know how to pose; he's not a boxer or a martial arts master.

"Your expression is just as unsightly. Raise your fist and show some fighting spirit."

I never expected her to say something like that to me under these circumstances.

Should we make him imitate fight scenes from TV series or movies?

Having no other choice, Uesugi Genshin adopted a respectable fighting stance and asked her, "Do you have any experience fighting people?"

"I'm a lady, you know. How could I possibly have that?" She smiled slightly, then assumed a fighting stance once more.

"......" Is it true or not?

But she must have learned fighting techniques, probably from a professional coach. Even if she practiced with someone, it wouldn't count as fighting.

In other words, the other party is a "theorist".

"That's why I want to fight you."

It seems that Kiryuin Fuka's actions this time were somewhat impromptu.

"Shall we continue?" Uesugi Genshin nodded at her.

"Of course, the outcome is still undecided."

After saying that, Kiryuin Kaede, still full of enthusiasm, launched another attack on him.

She dodged her swift attack and punched him in the cheek with her left fist.

The attack aimed at his face forced Uesugi Genshin to twist and dodge, as the human face is very vulnerable, especially the bridge of the nose.

Anyone who gets hit in the nose will involuntarily shed tears; this is the nature of the human body, and it's a weakness in a life-or-death battle.

When forced to discard their weapons and both sides are grappling, hitting the nose is very effective.

He remembered this very clearly; it was etched into his mind.

The two had been fighting for about four or five minutes, maybe longer, and had each taken several punches from the other.

Uesugi Genshin watched as the other took a deep breath, calming his breathing, appearing somewhat at ease, while he himself was in a similar situation.

Their breathing wasn't completely disordered, but their hearts were beating very fast. In terms of physical strength, neither of them had a significant difference.

"You can't do it empty-handed," Kiryuin Fuka commented.

"I know." He already knew about it and had mentioned it to Yang Nai before.

But this is not a weakness. At least compared to ordinary people, he can definitely beat them with his bare hands, and he can still handle one-on-two opponents.

If both sides are armed and the conditions are equal, the number of people responding could even double.

Oni Ryuin Fuka kicked at Uesugi Genshin again, her leg, clad in red sweatpants, hurtling towards him with a whooshing sound.

Uesugi Genshin chose to pounce on her directly. Even though both men and women have excellent physical abilities, there is still a significant difference in body size between men and women.

Then his armpit was hit by the opponent's knee as he kicked back, and an unexpected sharp pain came. This was something he hadn't expected. Was there some nerve in that spot that was very vulnerable to a blow?

Then the other person adopted the same strategy and rammed into him. The force and inertia knocked him to the ground before he could react and was pinned down.

With his left knee pressed against his chest, Uesugi Genshin quickly protected his head as he saw Kiryuin clench his fist.

But the fist didn't land, which relieved Uesugi Genshin. Although they hadn't agreed to end the fight by falling to the ground, they both tacitly stopped.

To be fair, Kiryuin Fuuka is incredibly strong, yet she still weighs the same as a girl. The weight on her is about the same as that of the other girls she has experienced.

Uesugi Genshin lay down on the ground. The lying position was not conducive to breathing after the activity, but he couldn't get up yet.

"...Phew. I won. You couldn't have beaten me bare-handed either. Ha! This is so much fun."

With an expression that said it all, she smiled happily. It seemed that Kiryuin Fuuka already knew his strength, which was why she chose to fight empty-handed.

"Yes, I lost." Uesugi Genshin touched his slightly sore chest as the knee was retracted from his chest.

Looking up at the night sky, the neon lights of Tokyo have become much less, and the stars in the sky are gradually becoming clearer.

Who knows when I might be able to see the entire Milky Way in Tokyo?

"Let's go." Getting up from Uesugi Genshin, Kiryuin Fuka looked satisfied and turned her head to signal to follow her.

"Where to?" Uesugi Genshin propped himself up on his arms and sat up.

"You don't want to talk here, do you?" She walked over to her belongings, which included a water-filled backpack, and picked up her weapon as she went.

After saying that, she walked towards the northeast.

"Wait, is it far?" Uesugi Genshin called out to her.

"...Well, it'll probably take about fifteen or twenty minutes to walk." She turned her head and answered her question.

"I have a car here."

"You should have said so earlier." Seeing the car keys hooked on his finger, Kiryuin Kaede simply walked back to his side.

Then, led by Uesugi Genshin, they walked to the jeep parked at the west entrance.

"Oh, did you drive this car here? It's really cool."

Not only outside the car, but also inside, Kiryuin Kaede looked around, like a curious little girl.

She had never seen a car made entirely of steel plates before.

Uesugi Genshin started the car and, guided by Kiryuin in the passenger seat, drove along the residential area.

They smashed through the uncooperative zombies until they reached a narrow and dark alley.

Finally, they stopped in front of a shop. Uesugi Genshin looked to his right and saw that it was an izakaya (Japanese pub).

"We're here." Before the car was even turned off, Kiryuin Kaede couldn't wait to get out.

Uesugi Genshin knew that she was there to clear out the tails that were following behind, as well as the zombies nearby that had been attracted by the roar of the engine.

After he turned off the engine and got out of the car, he heard several muffled thuds and the sound of someone falling to the ground.

To be fair, the darkness of the alley at night and the howls of the zombies created an atmosphere like that of a horror movie. If you added background music, he might even get a chill down his spine.

It's also more tiring at night than during the day. Not only are your eyes strained on the road, but there are also too many shadows that can be hidden in your field of vision after you get off the vehicle. So I should try to avoid going out at night in the future.

"It's almost done." Kiryuin Kaede whispered in his ear as she walked over, carrying the stick upside down.

The two looked back and forth in the alley.

After waiting a while and dealing with a few more zombies, and confirming that no other zombies were coming out, she tugged at her sleeve, shone her flashlight on the izakaya door, and gestured that they could go in together.

Just as she lifted the curtain and opened the door, Uesugi Genshin was surprised to find that there was another person inside.

Because the headlights weren't on, he couldn't see her clearly. The first thing he knew was that she was a woman with what appeared to be quite long hair, tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head.

She was currently slumped over a table facing the kitchen, swirling a glass in her hand; she appeared to be drunk.

Getting drunk at this hour?

Uesugi Genshin couldn't help but admire her boldness.

"Hey, Sae, are you drunk again?" Kiryuin Fuuka teased the drunk woman as she slammed the door shut.

In fact, she completely ignored Kiryuin and continued shaking her cup, looking gloomy.

From the side, you can see that her breasts are pressed against the table, forming a soft, squeezed oval shape.

"Who is this?" Uesugi Genshin asked, not quite sure since he couldn't see the face.

"She's a teacher from our school." The voice was a little louder than before, since they were inside the store, so they could speak a bit more freely.

The word "teacher" probably triggered her reaction, and the drunk woman looked up.

At this moment, Uesugi Genshin finally saw her face clearly and confirmed that she was Ayanokouji's homeroom teacher, the Chabashira-sensei of Class D in the first year.

He remembered only her surname very clearly; there weren't many people with the surname Chabashira in all of Japan. He didn't have much of an impression of her when Kiryuin called her by her name, Sae.

She squinted at Uesugi Genshin with a somewhat scrutinizing gaze, but then immediately turned her head away indifferently, took a sip of the liquid in her cup—a rather large sip, drinking half the cup in one go.

"Drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your health," Kiryuin Fuka scolded as she walked over, momentarily unable to tell which was the teacher and which was the student.

When Chabashira Sae tilted her head back, Uesugi Genshin finally saw the outline of her chest, which was much larger than he had originally imagined.

After Kiryuin turned on his portable flashlight and illuminated the kitchen, Uesugi Genshin was able to see more clearly.

Judging from his appearance, Chabashira Sae appears to be a very composed and disciplined person.

Her age falls into a delicate area that seems to be over thirty but not quite, just like Hiratsuka-sensei.

This beautiful woman, with her calm and composed demeanor, also has a fantastic figure, with perfectly proportioned thighs and buttocks, or rather, a voluptuous figure, which is striking even through her clothes.

But this guy, at this moment, looks more like a drunkard, and not just any ordinary drunkard.

Just as Uesugi Genshin sat down two seats away from her, she finished the liquid in her glass and picked up the Japanese ceramic sake bottle beside her, continuing to pour sake into it.

Indeed, it was only upon seeing the bottle that Uesugi Genshin confirmed it was indeed wine.

Meanwhile, Kiryuin Fuka, who was standing in the kitchen across the street, had already turned on the stove, seemingly planning to cook something.

This place must have been occupied by them for a very long time.

They were also very careful not to turn on the lights and cause any unnecessary trouble.
