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

The tone was like a nagging, the kind that can make you angry.

"Private accommodation, ample food, and a very important position that can be taken up immediately, not to mention a girlfriend will be assigned to you."

"Really?" This was incredibly kind of treatment to Tobu Sho. "It makes me want to go now."

Yumiko Miura snapped angrily, "Minister of Revenue, shut up."

"Even so, we can still..."

Hachiman Hikigaya remarked sarcastically from the side, "It's just like an auction, with both sides constantly bidding against each other."

Miura Yumiko's temper flared up. "You! Isn't Uesugi your friend? Why are you so calm?"

Of course he was calm, because Xuanxin had no intention of leaving at all, at least not for now.

Because if he really wanted to leave, he would definitely try to take him with him; that's the confidence of his friend.

So now I need to highlight the importance of someone else.

"What can we offer? A position, president or vice president? Food will mostly depend on him or even Hiratsuka-sensei to arrange. As for accommodation... these days everyone sleeps under their own clothes. Ah... and girlfriends, can you arrange that here too?"

Yui Yuigahama tentatively argued in a low voice, "Xuan, he has a child he likes outside."

"So? Then his heart is elsewhere." Hachiman Hikigaya recounted, "In the end, we have nothing here, can we give you anything? Or are you willing to be Genshin's girlfriend?"

“…Hmm.” Upon hearing this, Yui Yuigahama lowered her head, tapping her index fingers repeatedly.

Yukino Yukinoshita stopped Hachiman Hikigaya from continuing, as it had already devolved into a personal attack. "Hikigaya, please be quiet."

"Your words are too harsh," Kawasaki Saki said, gently tugging at his sleeve and whispering in his ear.

Hmm... it's too close.

Hachiman Hikigaya turned his head away and stopped talking.

Even so, we must keep him here.

Yukino Yukinoshita said, "That should be his choice. If he really wants to leave, I won't try to persuade him."

"Perhaps that's true." Hayama Hayato smiled wryly. "I... I'll go inspect the school first."

Hayato Hayama is currently in a position similar to a disciplinary committee member, but so far there haven't been any major incidents, only a constant stream of minor ones. When people really have something to say, they usually still go to the student council office.

Seeing Hayama's troubled expression and sensing his heavy heart, Yukino Yukinoshita said, "Then let's leave it at that."

After Hayato Hayama and the others left, Yukino Yukinoshita sat back down at the table, "Ha..."

"Are you really not going to care about anything?" Isshiki Iroha asked. "Isn't Hikigaya-senpai a friend of Uesugi-senpai?"

"What? You want him to stay too?"

"I... I don't think that's what I'm thinking, but... I would be very happy if Uesugi-senpai could stay."

That was an impeccable answer, but the next second...

"Yukinoshita-senpai, are you really not going to care about anything?"

It was too early to make a judgment; it seems this junior is not an indifferent bystander.

"Yes, and..." She hadn't even made up her own mind yet.

"I...I'll go out and take a look." With that, Isshiki Iroha ran off.

The three of them were left in the room. Kawasaki Saki stood up first and said, "I'm going back to the group first. I have things to do."

"Oh."

"I'm entrusting Jinghua to your care."

With Komachi here, it's alright.

"understood."

Then only two people were left in the room. Hachiman Hikigaya looked around and felt like he was superfluous there, so he stood up and prepared to leave as well.

"I go first."

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't stop him, so it seems he really had nothing else to do.

Let's go find that guy next.

As a result, he climbed to the fourth floor and arrived at his secluded room, which was next to the service department.

It's quite lively at Xuanxin's entrance.

The people inside the room were almost all gone, but...

No, it's really surprising.

Hachiman Hikigaya waved his hand to make way, and then someone stood in front of the door and knocked on it.

The people inside were completely relaxed, not taking it seriously at all, crunching as they ate the senbei on the table.

"You really are quite relaxed."

Upon seeing that the visitor was Hachiman, Uesugi Genshin showed no intention of greeting him.

Seeing that Uesugi Genshin used the back of his left hand to push the senbei (rice crackers) towards him, and the oolong tea as well, he gestured to him with his right hand, which was tied with a handkerchief in his palm.

"Want to eat?"

"Hmm." Hachiman sat down, picked up a large senbei (rice cracker), and started eating.

crunch.

"Where did it come from?"

"I grabbed some when I went to the supermarket before, and there aren't many left."

"I see." Hmm~, this guy really does live well no matter where he goes.

Hachiman picked up the oolong tea, intending to soothe his throat, which was choked by the senbei, but as soon as he took a sip, he exclaimed, "Cough cough cough, isn't this sake?!"

"Don't worry, I've adjusted the proportions." He can't drink strong liquor today. "This one won't light."

"Really?" What is it that can't be lit?

"No, it still tastes awful." Despite saying that, Hachiman didn't hand it back, but instead held it in his hand and twirled the cup.

"What are you here for?"

"I have a few questions for you."

"what?"

"What...do you think of Yumiko Miura?"

"Hmm?" Uesugi Genshin didn't understand. "What do you mean, 'how about'?"

"As a woman."

"Pfft~, I like Hayama."

"I see." He realized that it wasn't because of him that he came here.

"What about Yui Yuigahama?"

"...I think she might have more feelings for you."

"Hey, is it really okay to say that to the person involved?"

If it weren't mentioned, he would have forgotten about Yui Yuigahama. Her face and her appearance didn't match up, and he didn't even recognize her in the student council room just now.

"What about Isshiki Iroha?"

“Doesn’t she like Hayama, whom everyone likes?” But Uesugi Genshin finally realized something was wrong. “Hachiman, something’s not right with you.”

With a crunch, the two of them took a bite of the rice cracker in perfect unison.

"what happened?"

"Why do you ask these questions?"

"I'll help you find an excuse."

"reason?"

"The reason for staying."

"Hey, do I need a reason?"

Don't need it?

This guy had been urging me to go to a maid cafe with him, but at the risk of being discovered by Komachi, he said it wasn't interesting after we went.

Uesugi Genshin sat up straight and rested his arm on the table. "Hachiman, you've changed. Why are you starting to care about things like this?"

"What's wrong? It's nothing special."

Ordinary? No, very unusual!

With a "guess if I believe you" look on his face, Uesugi Genshin cleared his throat, pressed his fingers against his vocal cords, and deliberately imitated a deep and hoarse voice. His first words broke Hachiman's defenses.

"I hate gentle girls." The imitation wasn't perfect, but you could tell it was imitating him.

"I start overthinking even with just a simple greeting. If we exchange text messages, my mind gets all worked up. And the whole day I'll be staring at my call log and grinning like an idiot when I get a call from them."

Well......

"But I know that it was just gentleness. People who are gentle to me are also gentle to others. I almost forgot that."

Ahhh! ! !

"If the truth is cruel, then the lie must be gentle. So gentleness is a lie. Time and time again we expect, only to be disappointed. I don't know when it started, but I stopped having any hope."

"A seasoned loner doesn't make the same mistake twice. I am a battle-hardened warrior, the best at admitting defeat."

"Therefore, I will always... hate gentle girls."

With a loud bang, Hachiman slammed his head on the table.

Looking at Hachiman's trembling right hand, Uesugi Genshin sneered, "Too sweet."

Although his right hand slumped limply, Hachiman's face under the table wore a wry smile.

how about you?

Xuanxin.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Dividing the Cake

"And what about Yukinoshita? What are your thoughts on Yukinoshita?"

Instead of his usual immediate rebuttal, Uesugi Genshin revealed a rare cold self-deprecation.

"Under the Snow..." The name he uttered carried a profound meaning.

“No, I don’t have that right.” Shaking his head, Uesugi Genshin looked out the window at the blue sky, separated by a window, “From the moment I chose poetry and distant places because I was afraid of the icebergs nearby.”

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Uesugi Genshin called out, peeking out.

"It's me." It was Vice President Yukinoshita who opened the door.

"Why are you here?" Uesugi Genshin, the owner of the room, raised an eyebrow.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Uesugi Genshin stated bluntly, "We're discussing just how charming the second young lady really is."

"Hey, can't you just say that directly?" Hachiman suddenly looked at Uesugi Genshin and complained.

Uesugi Genshin laughed and said, "I would never lie to the Second Miss."

"Ah, that incident, you still remember it?" Hachiman thought it was just a temporary deception.

"Of course, I take my vow very seriously, after all, I also believe in Jesus."

Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita, who had already sat down, Uesugi Genshin said to her reverently, "Hallelujah."
