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

Was the food I made not good? No, it was actually quite good. The seasoning was impeccable, but I still felt that the previous meals were better.

"Really? Ah~~, besides Hayato, has another omnipotent person appeared!?"

"The Ministry of Revenue," Hayama Hayato said with a wry smile, "I'm not omnipotent."

Hayato Hayama knew that he could only be described as someone who could cook; he was far from being a master cook.

"Ah, speaking of which, the horse that Uesugi rode was really beautiful."

"Right, right? Musou is so cute." Yui Yuigahama was always ready to spread her theory of cuteness.

"Ah~, cute? Yeah, definitely cute." Tobe Sho tilted his head.

"Hayato, you like... do you think girls have to learn to cook?" Miura Yumiko asked Hayama Hayato, who was smiling as he watched the others discuss.

"I can't really say," Hayama Hayato said with a forced smile. "After all..."

"Huh? It's only natural for girls to know how to cook, isn't it?"

"Minister of Revenue, shut up!" Miura Yumiko was asking seriously, so why was she interrupting at this moment?

"Cooking itself is just a skill, meant to highlight a person's excellence; there's nothing you absolutely have to know how to do it."

"I see." Miura Yumiko didn't quite understand what Hayato was trying to convey.

Is it just a facade of peace...?

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

Fever outbreaks began to occur throughout the school in the afternoon, and by evening, a large number of students had collapsed.

"Yumiko, you're awake." Hina Ebina sat in a chair, her elbows resting on her knees, her hands supporting her face.

"Ebina, are you alright?"

"Well, thank goodness. But I was really shocked when you collapsed. I thought you guys had been infected. Both Tobe and Ooka got it."

On the other side, separated by the table, someone aptly remarked, "It feels so bad~~~"

"Is that so?" Miura Yumiko tugged at the clothes that should be on her, a Milan-colored wool coat.

Ok?

Isn't this the dress she left at the supermarket?

"What is this dress?"

"Yes, Uesugi-kun came yesterday and brought two backpacks, saying they were for the two of you."

"That guy's here."

yesterday?

As if to demonstrate, Ebina Hime pulled down the backpack that was placed next to her, causing a stack of clothes inside to roll out.

The most eye-catching thing is the brightly colored lace lingerie, which is interwoven with purple, black, pink and white.

"..."

"Ah, I didn't touch anything. It was like this in the room. Hiratsuka-sensei and Uesugi-kun went out together." The boy was also in a room, so Ebina Hina couldn't help tidy up. She hurriedly stuffed the clothes back into her backpack.

"Hmm." This left Miura Yumiko somewhat unsure of who had so casually crumpled her clothes into a ball and stuffed them into her backpack.

This is so rough, it's like they're in a rush.

Hiratsuka-sensei might have this motive, given that she gives off a somewhat unrefined, middle-aged vibe. Uesugi is also a suspect; he seems to be the type who completely disregards details.

Miura Yumiko turned around and hugged Yui, who was lying on the spread-out clothes with her, hoping to warm their cold bodies with each other's body heat.

The two clung tightly to each other, so close they could feel each other's breath.

Yumiko Miura has a hidden quirk, whether it's subconscious or intentional, she likes to befriend cute girls.

Yumiko Miura always coldly yet enthusiastically gathers cute girls around her to form her own "group," and her standard of cuteness is, of course, determined by her own preferences.

So she brought in Yui Hihama and Hina Ebina to form the Miura Group, since the other students in the class weren't qualified.

"I feel terrible. Where's Hayato?" Miura Yumiko realized that there were only 6 people in the room. Including the three girls, Yamato was taking care of the two who had collapsed, Tobe and Yamato.

"Hayato is currently in charge of supervising all the students in the school at the student council meeting."

"Really? He's not here," Miura Yumiko said with a forlorn expression.

"Mom..." Yui murmured dazedly, burying her face in Miura Yumiko's chest. Tears soaked her white shirt, and besides the dampness, there was also a lingering stinging pain that reminded Miura Yumiko of something.

"How is Uesugi?" Both of them were infected, but is he completely unharmed?

"Ah~, Uesugi-kun is taking care of Vice President Yukinoshita."

"Why?" Miura Yumiko didn't understand. The girl Uesugi liked was outside of school, so logically Uesugi wouldn't take care of Yukinoshita.

"Yukinoshita doesn't seem to have many friends." At a time like this, it's hard enough to take care of oneself, so how could anyone have time to take care of a stranger who isn't even a friend?

Yukinoshita is rather pitiful, with no one to accompany her.

"I see, then that's definitely right."

"Would you like some cup noodles?" Hina Ebina picked up a cup noodle from the table and shook it. "This is one serving per person per day."

"...No."

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

At this moment, in the student council room.

“I think that during the time when Vice President Yukinoshita is in a daze, it should be the people of He Alth who are in charge of the school’s affairs.”

Tamaki, a student from the Seaside High School, is negotiating with Hayato Hayama, accompanied by two stylishly dressed boys.

Hayato Hayama looked troubled, interlacing his fingers. "About this matter..."

“After all, no one knows whether the patients who have fallen will turn into zombies again, so Yukinoshita’s position as vice president should be temporarily suspended, as should that president,” Tamaki suggested. “Hayama-kun, I think you should appreciate that.”

But Hayama Hayato revealed a rare, somewhat bitter smile. Though it was only for a moment, it gave the impression of self-mockery or sadness.

His expression turned serious and solemn in an instant. "I won't allow it! Now that I'm in charge of the school, I can't abandon anyone. I won't allow it."

“Yukinoshita has done a great job. She has always handled school affairs perfectly. Her position should be decided by herself or by the students of the whole school. The fact that we are granting it to her privately is a trampling on the results of Yukinoshita’s hard work.”

In Tamahisa's eyes, the easy-going Hayato Hayama had always been a nice guy, so this suggestion should be good. He felt that Hayato Hayama had no reason to refuse.

"This isn't a private matter; it's just a temporary measure. Of course, I don't mean to damn Yukino, but this is in case something happens that we, the Unimaginable, might encounter."

"whats the matter?"

At this moment, a lazy and casual voice came from behind Yu Sheng, but it startled Yu Sheng.

From Hayama Hayato's perspective, the first person he saw was Uesugi. "Ah! Uesugi."

"Hello." Yu Sheng also looked behind her at the young man leaning against the door, holding a long sword in his arms, with a gloomy face.

"Hello."

"Um... I, we're worried, it's just..." At this moment, the numerical advantage was not enough to calm Yu Sheng's inner panic, and he stammered as if he had done something wrong.

"Ok, I know."

Judging solely from the opinions, Yu Sheng's suggestion is not wrong; it is a good suggestion.

but.

The person who made the proposal is different. This person does not have the ability to be entrusted with anything, and there is no evidence that he has such strength. At best, he is a degraded version of Hayama Hayato, and he may even be struggling to maintain the status quo.

Seizing power from the capable Yukinoshita also damaged her prestige. Even if everything goes well later, the damage caused by this appointment and the time and energy wasted in getting things back on track will be enormous.

Yu Sheng's fear subsided somewhat because of his words, and she said with relief, "Right, you can understand, right? If this continues, the school will fall into chaos."

"With me at the Soubu High School, there won't be any chaos." Uesugi Genshin said, as he looked at the golden-haired figure.

"As for your question about participating in school affairs, let's talk about that after Vice President Yukinoshita becomes a director."

Chapter 66: Student Council

When I woke up again, my head was dizzy, and I didn't feel as bad as I did yesterday, but my body still felt weak.

Perhaps I overexerted myself the day before yesterday; to put it simply, my body has burned out completely.

Then he also got infected.

Ah, fate played a cruel joke on him.

The fact that he hasn't turned into a zombie yet is a good thing; it's just a "simple" fever.

Uesugi Genshin touched the blanket that was hanging off the bed and covered him. Hmm?

I was covered with three layers of clothing, inside and out, and I didn't want to take them off. It was just like being reluctant to leave a thin blanket in an air-conditioned room.

However, the hardness of the ground made him get up. Come to think of it, when was the last time he slept on the floor?

It was the winter of 1942.

There was no one in bed anymore. Yukino Yukinoshita wasn't there. She reached out and touched the sheets, which were cool yet had a hint of warmth.

She was surprised to find herself not awakened when she got up.

"Peace is still the way of things," Uesugi Genshin shook his head.

He sat down at the table, lifted the pot lid, and found that half of the porridge inside was still left. It was supposed to be uneaten, but it seemed that Yukino Yukinoshita had already eaten it.

The porridge was at a suitable temperature, with cooked white rice that had burst open, chopped fish, and scallions, garnished with a touch of salt and olive oil.

Delicious! Just as I expected.

Uesugi Genshin praised himself as he ate his porridge.

Just then, the door opened, and he turned his head to see that it was indeed Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Good morning," Yukino Yukinoshita greeted politely and calmly.

"Good morning! You actually got up earlier than me. How about you get some more rest?"

"No need, my body has basically recovered."

"Don't push yourself too hard, how about you get some rest?"

Then Yukino Yukinoshita stared at him with a strange look.

"I know I'm fine now, and some students from Zongwu High School are fine too. We need to get them organized as soon as possible; we can't leave the school unattended."

"Whatever, it's up to you to decide what's best for your health." Uesugi Genshin didn't know what to say, so he continued drinking his porridge, while uttering a polite phrase from his hometown, "Would you like some more?"

“I’m already full.” Yukino Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow and asked, “Did you make this?”

"Yes."

"Hmm~, unexpected." Yukino Yukinoshita said with a smile.

"Haha, really?" Uesugi Genshin shrugged. It's true that you can't really tell from appearances, just like how you might not expect a hot girl or a hip-hop kid to be able to cook.

He finished his drink in one gulp, then patted the single bed behind him. "Have someone move the bed back to the infirmary later."

"Aren't you going to use it?" Yukino Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow and asked questioningly.

"There aren't many beds in the school to begin with, so there's no need for them." Privileges shouldn't be used arbitrarily in ordinary times, but rather in crucial situations.

"Do you want to go to the student council room?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked away.

"Ok?"

"There's a sofa there." The implication was that it was much more comfortable than this empty room where you could only sleep on the floor.

"sure."

With Yukino Yukinoshita's endorsement, it's not a big deal for him to stay in the student council room and take a nap.

Picking up the knife from the corner of the table, he followed Yukino Yukinoshita to the student council room.

Each student council president decorates the student council room according to their own wishes, since it is considered their own territory.

This room did not follow the simple style of the current student council president, Shiroi Jun, but Yukino Yukinoshita did not think about making too many changes. She simply moved some things from the principal's office and the teachers' room over.

The desk on the right is very long, and Yukino Yukinoshita is rightfully positioned in the middle of the long side. On the wall, there is a blackboard and a whiteboard.
