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

The implication is that multi-person parallel jogging is a bit too advanced for today.

Compared to Yumiko and Yui, who were showing off their bare feet, Isshiki, who had just changed out of her school uniform, was wearing socks, meaning she hadn't taken a shower yet.

"..." Yumiko thought for a moment, then did something that shocked Isshiki: "Then I'll give it to you today."

"Eh eh eh!!!" Isshiki Iroha exclaimed in surprise.

She said, as if stunned, "But, um... I'm not mentally prepared."

After saying that, the stunned smile immediately disappeared, and he turned into a frightened little squirrel.

"Then watching a movie will help relieve the tension," Yumiko suggested.

She did this purely because she lived with Isshiki, and if she excluded him from the beginning, what would happen in the future?

Thinking of this, despite my reluctance, my concern for my companions prevailed.

"..." Uesugi Genshin looked at Yumiko speechlessly. What was his opinion?

Yumiko's posture reminded him of her protective nature towards her own kind, something he hadn't thought about in a long time.

"What movie are we going to watch?" Yui asked happily. For her, the fact that everyone was together was the most gratifying thing.

At this moment, Uesugi Genshin was supporting Yui's buttocks, lifting her up with one hand as if she were holding a child. Although Yui was no longer a child, in this position, her full, soft breasts, like cotton candy, were pressed directly against his face, almost completely buried.

This pose felt novel and enjoyable to Yui, as if she could only experience that kind of happiness when she returned to her childhood.

"Hmm..." Yumiko thought for a moment, "What about the Titanic?"

“Okay,” Yui agreed with a smile.

"Well, I have no objection," Isshiki Iroha said, gently raising her hand.

So, after washing up, the four of them wrapped themselves in blankets and curled up on the sofa to watch this very classic movie.

Although it's a classic, it's not outdated at all; they're still watching the remake.

Isshiki was sitting in his lap, while Yumiko and Yui each held one of his arms.

This made Uesugi Genshin imagine that it would be very warm if it were winter now.

Because Japan doesn't have central heating, he has experienced 17 winters and has a deep understanding of the unforgettable cold, and he understands what a great invention the kotatsu is.

Ah, thinking about it like that makes me wish winter would come quickly.

Chapter 319: A Great Thing to Do

"I think we should take over a rental shop."

"Is the word 'rob' a bit inappropriate?"

Hachiman refuted his brother's statement, saying that this should be called taking.

The two of them sat together on the deck, enjoying the breeze and gazing across the water towards Tokyo.

They are currently adrift in Tokyo Bay. Theoretically, the opposite side should be land such as Yokohama or Funabashi, but right now there is only the sea stretching as far as the eye can see.

"What movie did you watch yesterday?" Hachiman felt that Genshin's question was not unfounded.

"Titanic."

"If it were me, I'd still think anime is better." Hachiman looked uninterested and turned his head to the other side.

"If you get into it, it's definitely a good movie; they even had tears in their eyes by the end." Uesugi Genshin said that romance movies aren't necessarily a bad thing.

But if you don't get involved, you'll find there are big problems, and if Jack doesn't sacrifice himself in the end, this love story between a poor boy and a rich girl will be hard to end.

“I still stand by my opinion,” Hachiman said dismissively.

"So what movies do you watch on your dates? Anime?" Uesugi Genshin chuckled.

"I'll watch whatever looks good and catches my eye, even if it's a superhero saving the world." Hachiman doesn't think that dates have to involve watching movies about romance or youth, or horror movies where you can take the opportunity to hold the girl's hand—that's too cliché.

He then thought, "But your idea of ​​robbing a rental shop is indeed quite good."

"Ok?"

“I want to watch Garfield,” Hachiman nodded in response.

"What triggered this time?" Uesugi Genshin asked in return.

"Yesterday, Ebina made a meat sauce lasagna."

"Where did the meat come from?" Isn't meat sauce made from pork or beef?

Although freezing will keep it fresh for longer, I doubt anyone would actually wait until now to eat it.

Hachiman turned to look at him. "Tuna is meat too."

"I see." Uesugi Genshin nodded. It's a post-apocalyptic version of lasagna.

He hesitated, about to speak, "Speaking of which..."

"what happened?"

“Yumiko found the USB drive you gave me, and she said she’ll give it to Ebina later.”

"..."

"But there shouldn't be anything special inside, right?" Uesugi Genshin asked, looking at the silent Hachiman.

"No." Hachiman slowly shook his head when asked, "That was actually Qin Ye and the others."

He can explain the past in this way.

"Really?"

"Ah."

Because of his own authority, Uesugi Genshin knew that his subordinates rarely talked about anything suggestive in front of him. The team leaders were a little better off, but the ordinary members below them were even less likely to do so.

He overheard Hayama and the others talking about swimsuit magazines, and when he asked about it out of interest, the boisterous Tobe Sho shoved it at him.

I still remember the wry smile on Ye Shan's face when I handed it to him to return it.

"How does the meat sauce lasagna taste?" Uesugi Genshin asked curiously.

"Not bad." Hachiman nodded seriously.

"That's great~, having a girlfriend who can cook."

"Are you showing off? Look at the bento you brought," Hachiman pointed out with a pained expression.

Uesugi Genshin shrugged and jokingly spread his palms, saying, "They didn't discuss it beforehand, and ended up making too much."

He carried three lunch boxes when he boarded the ship, so he had to use a larger bag to carry them.

Yukino had a sandwich, Utaha had a grilled rice ball, Mai had a fried fish rice bowl, and as for Yui and the others, they all ate breakfast together.

"No, it's not much," Hachiman sighed as if he saw through something. "One serving is only about five or six tenths full. Two servings will only make you feel stuffed at most. If you're already stuffed from the other serving, you can eat a little more."

"Eating too many carbohydrates will make you sleepy."

"That's a happy problem, isn't it?"

The two ended the conversation and continued looking at the sea.

If the "crew" on the ship hadn't practiced setting sail and docking many times, they wouldn't be sitting so leisurely on the deck.

Now, we can leave everything to the professionals.

"We'll be at the port soon," Hayasaka Ai said, coming over to remind the two of the sailing progress.

"Wow, that was fast!" Hachiman exclaimed. "I'll go tell Shiroyama and the others to get ready."

As he spoke, he pulled his mask back up and resumed his fighting stance.

“Oh,” Uesugi Genshin replied.

When everyone stood in front of him, each holding a somewhat menacing weapon, especially the fire axe in the hands of the vice-captain Shiroyama, which was a deadly weapon that instantly gave off the vibe of a yakuza gang.

No, they should be called a group of cold-blooded assassins. Some of them even have skulls drawn on their masks, making them look extremely creepy. As long as they don't speak, their eyes, which are usually filled with murderous intent, won't give them away.

"Hehehe." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza laughed at this moment, "We've finally arrived in Kyoto. We'll show those people in Kyoto our prowess in a moment."

"Alright, Zaimokuza, don't say a word later." Hachiman pointed at Zaimokuza and warned him.

"Why?!"

"And you still say why..." He didn't know how to retort. Besides, this is Tokyo, not Kyoto, you idiot.

Hachiman scanned his team members. "Listen up, guys. I may not be the most imposing captain, but you can't be any worse than me. Especially in front of outsiders, let them see the spirit of the Chiba people."

"Oh!!!"

"Are they alright?" Yang asked, amused, as he walked up to Uesugi Genshin.

"Probably." Uesugi Genshin couldn't be sure, but there shouldn't be any major problems.

He doesn't value these superficial things unless they affect his practical benefits.

Even though Shuchiin was a bit further away, they went there first.

The cargo ship slowly turned into the gap between the artificial island and the coast, and moved forward along this narrow "river".

As they passed the first pier, they could see the second pier where they would dock.

Even Uesugi Genshin spotted a group of people on the dock, very conspicuous, undoubtedly from the Shuchiin.

The ship slowly but safely docked at the pier, allowing Uesugi Genshin to finally see Shirogane Miyuki's face.

That's right, it was he who personally led the team and stood at the very front.

Uesugi Genshin disembarked, walked up to him, and smiled.

The port was very clean. Just as he was about to say that, Uesugi Genshin saw two zombies darting out from the gaps between the containers in the distance and running towards them. They were obviously attracted from afar by the movement of the ship.

"..." Uesugi Genshin turned back to look at Shirogane, his eyes filled with a hint of speechlessness.

"I think I can explain that we are currently cleaning the docks," Shirogane Miyuki said awkwardly, explaining that due to the difficulty and time constraints, they simply hadn't finished cleaning yet.

Uesugi Genshin then turned to Hachiman behind him and gestured. Hachiman understood and led Shiroyama forward, each taking a hit at the zombies.

A crisp sound echoed across the open space of the dock. Hachiman, with his dead fish eyes, turned around and struck with ruthless ferocity, like the Grim Reaper, impossible to ignore. Shiroyama, as the former captain of the judo club, hadn't been short-lived; carrying a blood-dripping axe, he certainly looked like a mighty and tough man.

"Good!" Uesugi Genshin thought to himself.

That was a great show of bravado.

Chapter 320: Differences in Personnel Quality

He had originally thought of bringing Yamato along, so that with Zaimokuza, Shiroyama, and Yamato, there would be three burly men standing behind them, like door gods, which would look quite imposing.

But after thinking about it, I gave up in the end because it was too deliberate, and I would need to split up Ye Shan's team.

"Are those your special uniforms?" Looking at the armed personnel of the Soubu High School in his line of sight, Shirogane Miyuki felt very novel. "They look pretty good. Compared to you, we can't even look at them."

He was telling the truth. At least the person opposite him was completely covered up by a very hard yet lightweight material, with even most of their face and neck protected. He looked very safe.

In contrast, they themselves only focus on wearing sturdy clothes. As for their necks, since it's not winter, the most they can think of is a scarf or something similar, but they don't really want to wear one.

“No, we used to have books strapped to our arms,” Hachiman said, his voice deep and muffled as he walked over. “Later, we gradually started wearing only school gym uniforms.”

"School gym uniform?" Shirogane Miyuki was immediately surprised. "But then the defense would be..."

At first, the Shuchiin family members wanted to wear multiple sets of clothes to increase their sense of security, and they still feel the same way now.

"The most important thing when facing zombies isn't defense, is it?" Hachiman summarized briefly, then waved for his men to disembark.

The most dangerous situation is being surrounded and attacked by zombies, then being tackled. In this case, no defense is very effective, as the zombies will always find gaps in your clothes and body during their frenzied biting.

The best approach is to avoid this situation altogether; as long as the number of zombies can be reduced quickly, they will not pose a threat.

Furthermore, if it's truly difficult to deal with, then don't deal with it. Quickly shifting positions is the best option. A head-on confrontation is always the worst strategy. Only a fool would easily put oneself in a dangerous situation.

“Indeed.” Shirogane Miyuki was well aware of this, but he couldn’t make decisions for each of his subordinates; a sense of security is something one has to feel for oneself.

However, he was curious about the student from Soubu High School who had spoken, so he asked, "May I ask what your name is?"

"Hachiman Hikigaya, Executive Commander." As for being the student council secretary, he really didn't want to say it, because it was too beneath him.

"Captain?" Shirogane Miyuki guessed that this was probably the organizational structure of the Soubu High School, similar to his own.

Uesugi Genshin explained to Shirogane, "A team has 12 people, divided into 4 groups of three. In addition to the captain's direct support group, there are three group leaders. The vice captain is also in the direct support group and is responsible for taking over command in case of emergency."
