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

"Huh? Me."

"Then it seems we'll have to talk again another time."

"Okay, okay. Miss Yang, I'll be going now."

"What did your sister say to you?"

"No, it's nothing. Miss Haruno just asked about the situation here and expressed concern for Yukinoshita-senpai."

"That's it."

"Um, Yukinoshita-senpai, a lot of people have come to me asking if they can go to Haruno-san's place."

There are always some people with a low tolerance threshold who are the first to jump out.

"Why not just ask?"

"a ha ha ha."

Perhaps it was out of consideration for Vice President Yukino's authority, or perhaps it was because they felt they didn't know the situation there and couldn't easily go over.

"do not worry about it."

Indeed, there's no need to worry about it. We're all just ordinary people. Those who speak out don't represent the majority; it's merely a signal. We'll address that next.

Back in the student council room, Shiromaru asked, "Yukino-senpai, is there something you need?"

"Yes, it's about the reorganization of the student council, and also about the school's management system."

"Eh?"

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

"Brother, are you very free?" Komachi looked at Hachiman Hikigaya, who was holding Kyoka Kawasaki and reading "Robinson Crusoe" to her.

“No, not at all.” Hachiman Hikigaya looked up at his sister.

There were only the three of them in the room; Kawasaki Taishi had already gone out to work.

"Hachiman, are you bored?" Kyoka Kawasaki looked up at Hachiman.

Not at all, we'll be busy soon.

“Ah, speaking of which, brother…” Komachi suddenly spoke.

"what happened?"

"Have you spoken to any girls I don't know about recently?"

"Why do you think that? In my life, the person I've talked to the most recently is Hiratsuka-sensei, no, strictly speaking, she's not a girl anymore."

"Everyone else is someone you've seen before, and there's no one else besides them?"

"Ha, brother, how can you do this?"

"?"

"So hurry up and find a girlfriend, the burden of continuing the Hikigaya family will fall entirely on your brother."

"Komachi?"

Ah, once my sister gets married, she'll take someone else's surname.

“I think this child is a truly good girl.” Komachi handed over her phone, which showed a photo of a girl.

"Ah, sister," Kawasaki Kyoka whispered in her arms.

Upon closer inspection, isn't this a candid photo of Saki Kawasaki?!

A simple white shirt, a plain yet sophisticated outfit, a far cry from her usual "don't come near me" image.

"No way, it won't work."

"Huh? Why?"

"There's no reason why. Besides, this is the time of year, so let's not think about anything else."

"Hey~, brother, whoever it is, whether it's Hiratsuka-sensei or those two who came before, just find me a sister-in-law."

"..." Hachiman Hikigaya decided not to answer.

“Brother, I found this book in your schoolbag…” Komachi took out a light-colored novel without any illustrations, with five large characters on it: “The Sky of Fate”.

This! This is!

He finished reading the novel and was about to return it to Uesugi Genshin, but he completely forgot about it!

"No problem! Don't worry!" Hachiman Hikigaya stuck out his tongue and gave a thumbs up. "Hehe~"

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

As the afternoon drew to a close, the sun shifted its position in the sky, and the faces of the two people sitting in the main seats of the student council room appeared dim and gloomy due to the lighting.

Yu Sheng sat upright opposite him. A person's micro-expressions are somewhat uncontrollable, so just like his somewhat fearful heart, his unease on his face was not obvious, but it was still noticeable.

"I disagree," Yukino Yukinoshita spoke first.

She turned to Uesugi Genshin, who was grinning beside her, and said, "I can't trust this person's abilities."

"Well, well, don't say that. Tamaki does have some abilities, after all, he was once the student council president of Hamakai High School." Uesugi Genshin said, trying to defend Tamaki.

Yu Sheng looked at the young man who spoke up for him with a hopeful gaze.

"So you're just letting the situation collapse, then hiding in a corner with the surviving students, trembling and waiting for rescue?" Yukino Yukinoshita sneered.

"What kind of student council president is this? A mediocre person who holds a position without doing any work."

Upon hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's words, even Tamaki couldn't think of anything to refute them for a moment.

"Yes, but not everyone is capable of handling a crisis of this magnitude. Such people are very few, extremely few. So, Yu Sheng's handling of the situation cannot be described as incompetent."

"Mmm-hmm." Yu Sheng nodded in agreement, like a chick pecking at rice.

“But he hasn’t made any contributions so far, so giving him a position won’t convince everyone.” Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms and turned her face away.

"Perhaps that's true, but now the school's composition isn't just limited to Zongwu High School, and positions can't be held solely by Zongwu High School students. This is a kind of diversity, and I believe Yusheng is willing to contribute to the school, right?"

"Yes, I'm willing to contribute to the school, Vice President Yukinoshita." This person is really a good person! Tamaki's eyes shone as he hurriedly assured her.

"Ha, I don't have a place for him here. How about he goes to your place?"

"Okay."

"Then you should go to Uesugi's command. He's currently assembling a team for an expedition." Yukino Yukinoshita finally conceded with a helpless expression.

"Outside? Out and about?!" Yu Sheng opened her mouth in surprise.

"His responsibilities are extremely important, concerning the very survival of the entire school. This is also a contribution to the school. You're not going to try to shirk them, are you?" Yukino Yukinoshita scolded, frowning.

Faced with further questions, Yu Sheng stammered, "I, um, I..."

He glanced at Uesugi Genshin, who had spoken up for him earlier, and saw him looking at him with a wry smile. This was probably the best offer the other party could get.

The three of them sat in a manner reminiscent of two police officers interrogating a criminal, as time ticked by.

Yukino Yukinoshita is preparing to pronounce Tamaki's death sentence.

“I accept,” Yu Sheng said after she had made a major decision and thought it through.

Although Yukino Yukinoshita still had her usual cold expression, Genshin Uesugi smiled and said, "Yes, welcome. Let's work together to make Soubu High School even better."

Chapter 71: Okay, let's call it the Execution Department.

"You've really gotten me into a lot of trouble," said Hachiman, who was sitting next to me.

"?" Uesugi Genshin asked, somewhat puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"

"Here you go." Hachiman handed me a book from under the table. "The erotic novel you gave me."

"I'm giving this to you, why are you giving it back to me?" Uesugi Genshin found it amusing.

Hachiman was unsure. "Could it be that you have another copy at home?"

"This is what I wrote."

"!!!" Hachiman's trembling hand drew everyone's attention.

"So take it back." Uesugi Genshin pushed the book back under the table.

“No, you should take it.” Hachiman shook his head. “I never expected this to be a book you wrote… I never imagined you were a hidden author.”

"Ah, this reaction... let me guess, Komachi noticed?"

"Just how perceptive are you?" No, it might be easy to guess that level of insight, since the book's subject matter is about taboos between siblings.

"Anyway, Komachi won't misunderstand." The bond between Hachiman and Komachi is pure kinship. As the older brother who has been taking care of Komachi since their parents were both busy, Hachiman is exactly what the saying "the eldest brother is like a father" means.

"Then you should be glad I didn't say it was from you, right?"

"Ah~, you really mean well." Isn't this exactly when a brother's true value shines through? Being the scapegoat.

"Anyway! Here you go!"

"Okay~"

"And I've been wondering about this ever since earlier." Hachiman looked up at Uesugi Genshin's head. "What kind of hairstyle is this?"

Looking at Uesugi Genshin, whose hair was tied up in a bun and whose fair forehead was exposed, Hachiman deeply understood what it meant to be extremely eye-catching. In this conference room, there were countless female gazes just glancing over, not to mention the male gazes.

"I'm usually too lazy to dress up, but for important matters, I have to be formal." He wasn't even wearing his green tracksuit; he was just wearing a T-shirt.

"If you keep going like this, you'll never be able to shake off the title of modern warrior."

Uesugi Genshin's mouth opened slightly, then slowly closed again. "Even if I wanted to get a haircut now, there are no shops to go to. I'll have to wait until summer."

He'll get a summer-style haircut sometime in the summer.

In the corner on the other side.

"Yukino-chan, what are your plans? Why are you making such a big fuss? Ah~, are you leaving soon and are you giving some instructions for what to do next?" Yukinoshita Haruno smiled radiantly.

Remembering Uesugi Genshin's words, Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Sister, I don't plan to leave."

Yukino asked, puzzled, "Eh~, why is that? Mother misses you very much, and she probably wants to come and see you in person right now."

“Mother…” Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, “I still have things to do here.”

"Ah~, then we can just take the students back together. Father won't mind anyway; it'll just be a bit more of a burden."

After all, having a lot of lice makes you less itchy.

"Then I definitely can't bring them back and cause trouble. I'm confident I can handle things here and won't cause any problems for my family."

"Hmm~, confidence? Who gave Yukino-chan that confidence? That guy over there?"

Yukino looked over there and saw the refined young man chatting with the boy next to him.

Noticing that they were being watched, he looked over, smiled, and greeted them, like cherry blossoms in a Japanese garden in spring.

"Yes and no, it's just my own decision."

"Hmph~" Yukino Yukinoshita murmured meaningfully, "Is that so? In my opinion, the outcome still depends on someone."

"No, sister."

"Hehehe~, I'll just take it as Yukino-chan's joke."

Looking at that unchanging, smiling face, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a surge of discouragement, but she revealed a fighting spirit in her eyes and said defiantly, "My resolve will not change."

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita's expression remained unchanged. "Then I'll have to see what's going on."

"The meeting is about to start, so please sit back down quietly."

"Good~"

The hands of the clock pointed to 5 o'clock.

The photographer, Shiromai, sitting in the main seat, drew everyone's attention to the fact that not only were representatives from each class of Soubu High School present, but also representatives from nearby universities or colleges.
