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

Meanwhile, Honami Ichinose sat on the other side of the coffee table, looking at Genshin Uesugi. "Ah, Uesugi-kun, what were you trying to say just now?"

"..." Uesugi Genshin glanced at Horikita Suzune, who was busy in the kitchen, and then silently shook his head. "No, it's nothing now."

It's like realizing you should have said those words after you've finished arguing; sometimes, if you miss the opportunity, you can't say them anymore.

Chapter 317: There was nothing under the bed

He and Ichinose stared at each other in silence until Ichinose Honami spoke first.

“Uesugi-kun, things are completely different here compared to where we are.”

"What's different?" Uesugi Genshin continued eating, holding his bowl.

“More energetic. Everyone is working towards a common goal.” Honami Ichinose smiled, revealing her white teeth.

"As long as you're busy, you won't overthink things; this applies everywhere," Uesugi Genshin said, shaking his head.

Ichinose felt this way simply because there were too many idle people around Horikita.

"Is that so? But it seems there are other reasons," Ichinose Honami said awkwardly.

In the afternoon, she went with the members of the Disciplinary Committee to the nearby New Port to assist the logistics department and organization department in sorting through the logistics center to see if there was anything useful.

The disciplinary committee member is mainly responsible for supervising and mediating potential conflicts. During this time, she also inquired about Uesugi-kun from that disciplinary committee member.

“Authoritarianism,” Horikita Suzune uttered from the kitchen.

"Authoritarianism?" Honami Ichinose tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Horikita-kun, what does that mean?"

Although her English is very good, the word "Horikita-kun" is probably a specialized term; you can't say it without having memorized it.

“Authoritarianism or authoritarianism,” Horikita Suzune said, turning her head. “The principle that the government demands absolute obedience from the people to its authority, rather than individual freedom of thought and action. Authoritarianism in government refers to the concentration of power in the hands of a single leader or a small group of elites.”

She noticed from the beginning that the power here was completely different from that on her brother's side. All the power was concentrated in the hands of the student council, which was clean and united, providing Soubu High with a stable political order so that its plans and measures could be implemented quickly.

My brother's situation was completely different. Every day he was in meetings and discussing with people from various groups and factions. He had to persuade them one by one to ensure that the policies could be implemented smoothly. Sometimes, he would even get into arguments and swear words would fly around.

The older brother, however, never swears, but if the other party goes too far, he will retort with words that are more like insults than actual insults.

The reason Ichinose said the atmosphere here was different was probably because everyone here was very obedient.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing, at least that's how Horikita Suzune sees it for now.

"Oh, I see. Horikita-san knows so much, that's amazing." Ichinose Honami understood the meaning behind Horikita's words, tilted her head and smiled, her long, peach-gold hair cascading down like a waterfall to her ample thighs.

“I just read a lot of books.” Horikita Suzune continued without turning her head, while the sizzling sound of frying oil rose from the kitchen again.

"I'm full, thank you for the meal." Uesugi Genshin stood up, supporting himself with his hands on the ground.

"Are you leaving already?" Ichinose Honami's expression seemed to say, "What a pity."

"Well, you all know the departure time tomorrow, right?" Uesugi Genshin asked, stretching on the spot.

“Yes, Ms. Hayasaka told us.” Honami Ichinose nodded.

"Then get some rest." As they walked to the entrance, Uesugi Genshin turned back and smiled at Ichinose, as if remembering something. "Good night."

"Good night." Honami Ichinose smiled happily.

"Rin, goodnight." Not hearing a response from the kitchen, Uesugi Genshin deliberately raised his voice.

"I understand, goodnight." Horikita Suzune's blatant sigh came from the kitchen, and she responded in kind.

"Mmm." Uesugi Genshin nodded in satisfaction, which made Ichinose, who was looking in this direction, lower his head and shake his shoulders. Although he didn't intend to be funny, Ichinose laughed.

Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, Uesugi Genshin closed the door to their apartment and went to the door of his own apartment, which was almost diagonally opposite.

After opening the door with the key, light shone through the crack.

"Welcome back," Hayasaka Ai said to him, sitting on the living room carpet with a can of drink in her hand.

There was a pile of snacks on the table. Kamuro Masumi was sitting next to Hayasaka. She was wearing simple jeans and a pink and white striped wool sweater, which was completely different from Hayasaka's outfit of a white shirt and beach shorts that exposed almost her entire white legs.

Uesugi Genshin glanced at Hayasaka to make sure she wasn't wearing his shirt, which relieved him, since his wardrobe was almost empty.

"Hmm, I'm a little touched," Uesugi Genshin said dramatically, clutching his heart.

"Don't be silly." Hayasaka Ai gave him a disdainful look. She only moved in because Kamuro was going to move in, and she might move out after Kamuro moved out.

"and many more."

Before she even entered her bedroom, Kamuro Masumi called out to Uesugi Genshin.

"What's wrong?" Uesugi Genshin stopped and asked curiously.

"Sit here first," Masumi Kamuro said, pointing to the table.

“Alright.” Uesugi Genshin walked over to Hayasaka’s side and sat down on the side of the coffee table.

"You didn't come home to sleep yesterday."

This kind of talk, like that of a woman confined to her chambers in sorrow, left Uesugi Genshin somewhat bewildered, even though he knew that wasn't what he meant.

"This is your apartment, even though it's yours." Masumi Kamuro was very distressed. She had moved in these past two days but hadn't gotten anything out of it.

"No, precisely because it's my apartment, it's not a problem for me to come back whenever I want, right?" Uesugi Genshin said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"I haven't even seen you for five hours in a whole day!" she said again, still harboring resentment.

“No, I went to my mother-in-law’s house with Yukino and the others during the day. I can’t bring you along, can I?” Uesugi Genshin retorted. He was curious about what Kamuro had done that day, so he asked.

"It's nothing, I just wandered around the neighborhood and then looked through your apartment," Masumi Kamuro said frankly.

"..." Not knowing what to say, Uesugi Genshin asked with a calm yet curious expression, "Did you find anything?"

This was his apartment. Although he was very familiar with it, he didn't know what the other party could possibly discover.

"There's nothing here." That was indeed the case. Kamuro Masumi shook her head and pointed out, "Isn't this a bit too clean for a boy's apartment?"

"Why do you say that?" Uesugi Genshin smiled wryly. He had all the game consoles and stuff; this was a normal guy's apartment.

With her hand on her chin, Masumi Kamuro pondered for a moment and said, "To give an example, there's nothing under the bed."

Because she had nothing, she was unable to make any further judgments about the person's character.

If so, at least she can use that to make an assessment.

"..." Kamuro's words truly left Uesugi Genshin speechless. Not all boys hide things under their beds, and...

“Don’t I have a computer?” Uesugi Genshin said, pointing to the laptop on the bookshelf under the TV.

"But there's nothing on the computer."

...So that one was already flipped through too.

"That's because the data is on the USB drive." Taking the keychain off his waist, Uesugi Genshin held the USB drive between his fingers and said clearly.

"!" Masumi Kamuro immediately showed a look of sudden realization.

"Eh~"

A voice came from behind him, and the USB drive in his hand was snatched away. Uesugi Genshin, whose hands were now empty, hurriedly turned around to look.

What's in there?

Yumiko was wearing his T-shirt, revealing a long, snow-white leg. Looking up, one could also glimpse a touch of red along the inner thigh.

Uesugi Genshin blinked, then suddenly stood up, trying to retrieve his belongings.

However, Hayasaka grabbed him around the waist, preventing him from standing up.

Taking two light steps back, Yumiko asked again in a serious tone, "So what's in here?"

Chapter 318: The Human-Shaped Kotatsu

The bedroom door was open, and Uesugi Genshin realized that Yumiko had been in his bedroom just now, but he had been stopped by Kamuro.

This is a very serious matter. He already has a girlfriend, yet he secretly watches this kind of thing, and he reacted so strongly just now. Could it be that he's hiding some kind of unusual fetish?

Upon thinking of this, Yumiko immediately raised her eyebrows. "There's a computer here too."

As she took a step, Uesugi Genshin suddenly reached out and grabbed her long leg. "Wait!"

"!" This caught Yumiko off guard. She was just joking; how could she possibly reveal her lover's fetish?

She examined the USB drive in her hand carefully, looking at Uesugi Genshin with a suspicious gaze. "This is very suspicious. What could be inside?"

"I don't know," Uesugi Genshin replied, shaking his head.

It is precisely because I did not know that I wanted to take it back.

"Huh?" Yumiko's eyes widened in disbelief. "You don't know why you want to take it back so badly?"

"I must leave behind a clean reputation in the world," Uesugi Genshin said solemnly. After all, if it's not his, is it really not his?

Someone else's XP is ultimately not your own. If you get misunderstood, you'll die with regrets.

"Tell me honestly, whose is this?" Yumiko asked forcefully, stepping on his head.

"I would never betray my brothers." With that kick, Uesugi Genshin knew that the other man had already taken a bath, probably at his place.

But Yumiko must have misunderstood. Even though she's living in his apartment, Kamuro has no connection with him yet.

She couldn't possibly be so naive as to think that both of them were close to her, could she? Come to think of it, he didn't seem to have mentioned this to Yumiko.

"So this is from Hachiman," Yumiko thought to herself, then she remembered, "I saw you looking at a swimsuit photobook before."

“I was just looking at the swimsuits inside,” Genshin Uesugi explained earnestly. “And I found one that would suit you perfectly.”

"I'll wear it if you bring it." Yumiko's cheeks flushed slightly. They could go to the nearby Inage Beach then; the atmosphere would be even better. "Don't change the subject. Whose is that?"

"I am not the kind of minister who would betray his or her staff."

"That must be the Ministry of Revenue and their people," Yumiko nodded knowingly.

After all, they're the kind of boys who secretly read these kinds of books, sometimes acting like monkeys in heat; most teenage boys are like that.

She lifted her foot and used her toes to lift his chin. "To your place, or to mine?"

"...So direct, huh?" Uesugi Genshin hesitated for a few seconds.

"Never mind." Yumiko said to Hayasaka and Kamuro as if she had given up thinking, "I'm taking this man with me."

Seeing this, Masumi Kamuro didn't dare to say it aloud: she actually had no relationship with this man at all.

Wait! She suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Hayasaka beside her, her pupils dilating in shock.

"Please make yourself at home," Hayasaka Ai replied casually, then picked up her drink from the coffee table and continued drinking.

Uesugi Genshin then realized that Hayasaka was drinking wheat juice.

"That's good." Yumiko grabbed the man at her feet and pulled him up. "Hurry up, Yui is waiting. You can take a shower here."

"Speaking of the USB drive," Uesugi Genshin asked as he was being pulled toward the door.

"Huh? I'll confiscate this and give it to Ebina later."

"..."

After the door closed, Kamuro Masumi asked Hayasaka uncertainly, "I think I heard someone else's name just now?"

“Yes.” Hayasaka Ai gestured for her not to make a fuss. “It’s a very normal thing. The girls get along very well.”

No, it's not exactly ordinary, is it? Masumi Kamuro thought to herself.

She usually has a cold and aloof expression, seemingly devoid of any sexual desire. Although she occasionally says surprising things, she never expected her to be like that in private.

I had initially thought that his strength might make him a bit arrogant in Chiba's eyes, but it seems that's not the case. I felt much more at ease.

As for his private life... there doesn't seem to be much to comment on; at most, he's just a womanizer.

After all, Japan is a country that is extremely tolerant of geniuses, so this little thing is nothing.

"Yui-senpai, Miura-senpai, have you forgotten that I'm here?" Iroha Isshiki, sitting on the sofa, said "Hey—" while looking at the three people pulling at each other.

"Yes. Ahahaha..." Yui, clinging to Uesugi Genshin, let out an embarrassed and apologetic laugh.

"Want to come together?" Yumiko asked casually without thinking too much.

"Huh?" "Eh?" Yui and Uesugi Genshin exclaimed at the same time.

"Huh?" Isshiki Iroha was stunned at first, then puffed out her cheeks angrily, "This is my first time doing this."
