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

"I see." Uesugi Genshin understood.

Even if Horikita Manabu wanted to train everyone, he couldn't supervise everyone by himself. In the end, it would still require the supervision of the leaders of each team.

However, some people feel that this kind of training is unnecessary. Everyone is tired after a day out and under a lot of mental stress, so they feel annoyed by Horikita's requirements.

It was probably because of this that Horikita Manabu left them to their own devices.

"So, what do you think of my performance?" Horikita Suzune asked him seriously, sitting upright with elegant manners, wanting to know the answer.

"It's only the first time."

"Just tell me directly." She was unmoved and only wanted a straightforward answer.

“It’s much better than most people’s first time,” Uesugi Genshin replied.

"Please speak plainly!" Horikita Suzune demanded again.

"...Very good!" Uesugi Genshin shouted. "The foundation is very solid, except that the attacks are not so crisp and clean, and the power is not enough. This is what happens when you don't have real combat experience."

"That's not too bad then," Horikita Suzune said to herself, lowering her head.

"..." Uesugi Genshin was quite speechless, and pointed to Kamuro next to him, "Kamuro is even worse than you, and she didn't say anything."

"!" Kamuro Masumi's eyes widened. How did this come down to her? She explained calmly, "I've never really learned any martial arts, except for my decent physical abilities."

These words also made Horikita Suzune look at her. Indeed, Kamuro's performance was not as good as hers.

He was hit repeatedly in the upper body and kept retreating, almost entirely on the defensive and dodging, unable to mount an effective attack.

"What kind of look is that?" Kamuro Masumi frowned and looked at Horikita Suzune.

"It's nothing, let's do our best together." Horikita Suzune shook her head and said that there was no point in comparing herself to Kamuro; at best, the two of them would only manage a draw.

"..." Kamuro Masumi knew that the other party thought she was weak, and she would definitely work harder. The thought of being knocked to the ground in front of everyone made her feel extremely ashamed, and she couldn't help but clench her fists.

"I'm almost rested enough." With his heartbeat calmed down, Uesugi Genshin looked at Yukino. "Let's go."

“Okay.” Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. Next, they were going to visit their mother.

"If you need anything, just ask Hayasaka," Uesugi Genshin said to Ichinose and the others.

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Hayasaka." Honami Ichinose turned to Hayasaka and bowed slightly.

"No," Hayasaka Ai replied in return.

Then Uesugi Genshin went back to his apartment, took a shower, tidied himself up, put on his usual casual clothes, and went to Yukino's door to knock.

"You're here." It was Yang Nai speaking from inside the door. She opened the door and her face instantly fell. "What? It's you."

Yang Nai was wearing an elegant black suit with a purple scarf around her neck, a rather dignified outfit.

Is there something wrong with it?

"I always feel that the scarf around my neck is a bit of a nuisance." It seems like something that only older women would wear.

“This is how an adult woman dresses.” Yukinoshita Haruno ripped the scarf off her neck. “Well, since you say it’s inappropriate, then I won’t wear it. Compared to this…”

She brought her face closer, scrutinizing him from head to toe, "Is this what you're dressed for?"

"What is the problem?"

"It's too informal."

“This is the most relaxed state,” Uesugi Genshin said, waving his hand. “Wearing those tight-fitting formal clothes would affect the body’s flexibility and make it inconvenient to draw the sword in time.”

"Hahaha..." As if she had heard a funny joke, Yukinoshita burst into laughter. "Draw your sword? Who are you planning to cut?"

“If,” Uesugi Genshin emphasized.

"Sister!" Yukino Yukinoshita walked over from the living room, still wearing her Soubu High School uniform.

For Japanese students, school uniforms are, in a sense, formal attire, and can be worn on non-special formal occasions.

In addition to the uniform she was wearing, which was the same as everyone else's, she also wore a mini plaid skirt and black over-the-knee socks.

The long-awaited Absolute Territory is a special edition featuring Yukino Yukinoshita, where her fair and delicate thighs hold a mysterious allure.

"What are you looking at?" Yukinoshita Haruno poked his arm with her finger.

"Ha, all ready? Let's go then." With a soft sigh, Yukino Yukinoshita suggested directly.

Since there was nothing he needed to bring, but there might be things he needed to take, such as passing by Yukino's apartment on the way back, Uesugi Genshin emptied the trunk completely in advance.

Kamuro's plan to go along also fell through. Haruno felt it was better for the three of them to go, because bringing an unimportant person along would require explaining to her mother. This time, they were just talking about family matters, and they would be back soon anyway.

He sat in the driver's seat, while Yukino sat in the passenger seat first, so Haruno only had the option of sitting in the back seat.

Having driven that route before, Uesugi Genshin followed the same route and arrived at the Chiba Self-Rescue Committee's territory in no time.

After passing through the checkpoint, they were able to enter smoothly thanks to Yang Nai's facial recognition.

He couldn't remember if he had seen the people at the door before, but at least they all remembered Yukino, the young lady of the Yukinoshita family.

"This time, drive straight to my place." Yukinoshita Haruno stepped forward, placing her hand on Uesugi Genshin's shoulder from the other side, and pointed the way.

"Yes, yes." I unexpectedly felt a soft touch on my shoulder, and the subtle firmness of the bra added an even higher level of enjoyment to the softness. To be honest, they were a little too close.

Drive along a road that's barely wide enough for one car, until it widens, and soon you'll arrive at a Japanese-style mansion.

The outer walls are made of stone and wood, and the interior should also be in the same style.

"We're here, we're here," Yukino Yukinoshita called out in a relaxed tone, then pushed open the door.

Seeing that she was saying something to the person standing by the door, Uesugi Genshin came back. "I sent him to inform Mother. Let's go to the guest room first."

As she spoke, she walked ahead again.

Yukino and Yukino exchanged a glance, then followed. They took off their shoes at the door, turned left and right, and finally arrived at a fairly spacious tatami room.

It's more than enough to host a tea party for a dozen or so people, and the surrounding walls are decorated with calligraphy and paintings.

Yukino and Haruno are sitting side by side on one side, probably because their mother usually sits on the other side.

Uesugi Genshin sat down behind the two, removing his sword and placing it beside him.

"Move forward, why are you sitting there?" Yukinoshita Haruno said, patting the spot next to her.

"Habit."

"Eh~" Yang looked at him with interest, "But I didn't expect you to be so good at it."

His serious posture made it seem as if this wasn't his first time attending such a traditional Japanese meeting.

"Because I've participated before," Uesugi Genshin replied with a shrug. He had accompanied his senior brother to similar events before, which felt like they were about to draw their swords and kill someone at any moment, and were far more dangerous than this.

"Hmph~" Yukino Yukinoshita looked unconvinced, but said, "That's good. Maybe Mother will have a great first impression of you."

“Speaking of which, what exactly does Yukino-chan like about him?” Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile, pointing to Uesugi Genshin, “Maybe this guy has even been to Senzuka Town.”

“I have never been to such a place. Don’t slander me for no reason,” Uesugi Genshin said, fanning himself.

"Really?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked with a mischievous grin, her pink lips parted.

"..." This made Uesugi Genshin think about it carefully again.

Oh no, I think I've actually been there before. I went there with my fellow apprentices for business before. Back then, it was called Yoshiwara, but now it's called Chitsuka. But the basic functions are essentially the same.

"Sister!" Yukino Yukinoshita called out to her older sister with dissatisfaction.

"Ha!" Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, "Be careful. If your mother finds out that you're seeing several people at the same time and dating Yukino-chan, who knows what might happen."

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita didn't expect that her older sister had already guessed it.

"..." Uesugi Genshin looked to the side without saying a word.

"So you're already dating." Yukinoshita Haruno was stunned. Afterwards, she listlessly combed her hair with her hands, saying this without any energy.

"Yes," Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her chest and admitted.

"That's it..."

The three remained silent for a while, and Uesugi Genshin ultimately did not get up and sit down next to the two.

He glanced down at Yukino's feet, which were nestled under her bottom; her delicate feet, clad in black over-the-knee socks, were right before his eyes.

Without thinking, he reached out and tickled the sole of her foot.

"What!" Yukino Yukinoshita trembled and hurriedly looked back, reacting like a cute little animal startled.

Uesugi Genshin put his finger under his nose and smelled it. There was no particular smell, mainly the leather smell of the uniform shoes. Of course, there was no sweaty smell or any kind of fermented smell.

It's a little disappointing.

"What are you doing!" Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him, feeling extremely embarrassed and angry, her heart wavering.

“You’re too nervous,” Uesugi Genshin said with a playful smile. “Let me help you relax.”

“Then you shouldn’t have…” Yukino Yukinoshita said, looking at her older sister beside her.

"Hmph." Yukinoshita Haruno gave them a flat, fake smile, then turned her head to continue looking ahead.

This prompted Uesugi Genshin to reach out and tickle Hino's sole.

"Hey!" To everyone's surprise, Yukino Yukinoshita turned around excitedly, as if she was about to stand up and pounce on him, like a startled feline.

In fact, she had already stepped onto the tatami mat with one foot when the door was suddenly opened.

The next second, Yukinoshita Haruno instantly returned to her sitting posture with incredible speed, sitting upright as if nothing had happened.

This made Uesugi Genshin want to tease her again, but he noticed that she clenched her fist behind her back.

Um......

Now I want it even more.

Chapter 309: He's a personal bodyguard

The person who happened to stop Haruno from acting out was Yukinoshita's mother.

Her vibrant black hair was styled in an updo, and she exuded a calm and collected aura.

Wearing a black kimono that complements her features, she is an exceptionally beautiful woman in a kimono, easily recognizable even from afar.

She even seemed younger than her own parents, with a very well-proportioned figure. She walked in quietly without making a sound, or rather, she was very polite.

However, her serious expression gave people a subtle sense of déjà vu.

It seems that the Yukino sisters have inherited some traits from their mother, but in terms of appearance and temperament, she is very similar to Yukino. If Yukino grows up a bit more, she will probably look exactly like her.

"Yukino, you're finally back." Yukinoshita's mother smiled kindly.

However, this person possessed a certain dignity, which made Uesugi Genshin feel that this kindness was mixed with an undeniable force. Rather than a kind mother, she was more like a strict mother.

“Yes, Mother.” Yukino nodded gently, then asked, “But…didn’t you come looking for me?”

“Even if I hadn’t come looking for you, you should have come back. Do you know how worried your father and I were about you?” Yukinoshita’s mother asked in a calm voice.

"Yes, I'm very sorry," Yukino said, bowing her head in apology.

"Let's not talk about that now." Yukinoshita's mother gently gestured to Uesugi Genshin, then asked Hino, "Hino, who is this?"

Why did you ask Haruno instead of Yukino? Is it because you think Haruno is more trustworthy?

Uesugi Genshin bowed and performed a samurai salute. "I am but a lowly guard of the Second Miss."

"!" Yukino turned to look at him in surprise, her eyes seeming to say: What are you doing?

Yang Nai smiled, finding this turn of events quite amusing, and nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right."

“A bodyguard, huh?” Yukino’s mother rested her hand on her chin, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Yukino and Uesugi Genshin interchangeably.

When her gaze shifted to the knife beside him, she widened her eyes in slight surprise, scrutinizing his meticulous posture from head to toe. Even young people today would find it hard to stand sitting upright, but he seemed to be used to it.

She met Uesugi Genshin's gaze, then slowly smiled, "That Yukino is really something, having such a powerful bodyguard."

"You flatter me." Uesugi Genshin bowed humbly. "My purpose in coming here is to ensure that the Second Miss can return safely."

Blinking gently, Yukinoshita's mother asked, "There shouldn't be any danger on the road, right?"

"No, but who knows what might happen later and we might not be able to go back," Uesugi Genshin subtly pointed out.

"We have enough manpower on our side, so the probability of something going wrong is very low," Yukinoshita's mother said with a light laugh, covering her mouth with her hand.

In other words, if there really is an "accident," it's probably your fault.
