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

"Alright everyone, quiet down, the meeting is about to begin."

"Yes, the matter concerning this meeting is about the reorganization of the student council."

"What?" "I thought..." "Oh, it's about this." "Wait, are you talking about..."

The audience was buzzing with discussion, and the whispers were impossible to suppress, but they weren't loud enough to stop Cheng Huixun from continuing.

"Yukinoshita will temporarily step down from her position as vice president."

If it was whispering before, it's now a complete uproar. Isn't this the start of a fight?

"Transfer to accounting."

The classroom fell silent again in the next second.

"Pfft..." Yukinoshita Haruno burst out laughing at this moment.

"The new vice president will be Uesugi Genshin from Class 2-E of Sobu High School."

Uesugi Genshin obediently stood up and said, "Nice to meet you."

"Oh, I see." "I see." "It's definitely reliable." "Great!"

If Hayato Hayama was the face of Soubu High School in the past, then Genshin Uesugi is the face of it now.

"Then the secretary will be Hachiman Hikigaya from Class F of the second year of Soubu High School."

The boy sitting next to Uesugi Genshin also stood up, "Nice to meet you."

There is no disagreement on this point; everyone present has witnessed it. This person has appeared in previous operations multiple times. While it cannot be said that he is the one everyone expects, it is also hard to say that he has done anything wrong.

"Furthermore, the head of the disciplinary committee is Hayato Hayama from Class F of the second year at Sobu High School."

"Nice to meet you." Hayama Hayato, who was sitting on the other side, stood up and said with a smile.

This guy is quite a celebrity. Even students from other schools, not even those from Zongwu High School, have heard of him. Zongwu High School has a handsome guy who is famous far and wide.

"Then, the student council decided to establish an executive committee specifically for going out to collect supplies, led by Vice President Uesugi."

"Then why not call it the Executive Committee?" Uesugi Genshin asked in surprise. The name Executive Committee was quite common, very ordinary, and very commonplace.

After all, the organizing committee is responsible for the annual cultural festival.

“No problem, then call it the Execution Department.” Shiromaru was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, so Yukino Yukinoshita spoke for her.

It's just a name issue. If he wants to change it, then let him change it. There's absolutely no need for discussion.

"..." Ah, his mouth briefly opened into an "O" shape before quickly returning to a poker face.

In all honesty, Uesugi Genshin's original intention was simply to complain about the name he was used to.

Unexpectedly, Yukino Yukinoshita made a decision the next second.

With this, the General Armed Forces Group Executive Department was officially established.

Then there's the matter of reorganizing into departments. The departments used to be clubs for extracurricular activities and hobbies, but now they've all been shut down. After all, it's not the peaceful times of the past anymore.

The previous working groups were formally reorganized and established as a department.

But in reality, there are only three most important departments: the executive department, the logistics department, and the organization department.

The remaining departments, such as the Ministry of Health, the Publicity Department, the Culinary Department, or the Disciplinary Committee, are not so important.

"The Logistics Department is headed by Accountant Yukinoshita. The storage and allocation of supplies will be handled by the Logistics Department. The supplies are the common property of all students. All supplies belong to the students of the school and will be managed uniformly by the Logistics Department."

"The Organization Department is headed by Secretary Biqi Gu, who is responsible for organizing and allocating all work except for routine affairs."

The health department handles routine tasks. In Japan, students are usually responsible for cleaning their own schools; now, they've simply assigned resident management personnel. This includes assigning cleaning areas, arranging cleaning staff for each area, and managing equipment.

The recruitment of cleaning staff follows a first-come, first-served principle, but it's not actually that popular, since nobody wants to clean toilets. Although it's on a rotating basis, it means that it will definitely be your turn eventually.

It's very safe. Compared to the organizing committee that will later direct students to build fences, demarcate safety zones, and establish various post points, the activity is on campus, which is undoubtedly safe.

If we still can't recruit enough people, we will contact the Organization Department to allocate temporary staff.

The Publicity Department is more like the secretariat of the student union. It is responsible for organizing the student union's written materials and documents, as well as writing and posting official documents, and organizing the implementation of the student union's orders.

The cooking department was no different from usual, perhaps it just had a different name.

"Regarding the allocation of classrooms, a new arrangement will be made. The previous method of allocation by class or by students from the same school will be cancelled. The principle of allocating students from different departments together will be prioritized, and each classroom will be occupied by six to eight people depending on the final number of students."

In this respect, the culinary staff are allowed to live in the cafeteria lounge, and they are free to do whatever they want in that area of ​​the building; they are undoubtedly free.

"...The above content will be posted on the bulletin board by the Publicity Department for public announcement."

In other words, the system of class representatives will be abolished, and future orders will be issued directly by the student union. Affairs will be posted on the bulletin board and implemented by each department. The appointment of the heads of each department will be selected and approved by the student union.

Disrupting the gathering of people to a certain extent helps to control the situation, and both public opinion and the occasional chatter and complaints that people might have nothing to do at night can be kept under control.

"...Subsequent reforms will also be announced on the bulletin board. That's all."

Chapter 72: This Damn Sense of Ritual

After the meeting, Uesugi Genshin directly called out to Hachiman and Hayama Hayato.

"Come with me to the student council room."

On the way, Uesugi Genshin clearly told Hayama Hayato that Yukino Yukinoshita had "sold" him to him.

"After all, there aren't many people who dare to swing their fists at a zombie's head."

"Isn't that a compliment?" Hayama Hayato said with a wry smile.

"Of course." You can be proud now.

Seeing his appearance, Hayama Hayato couldn't help but chuckle.

"arrive."

Genshin Uesugi opened the door to the student council room, and the three of them went inside together.

He pulled out a chair in front of his desk, gesturing for the two to sit down. Then he went to the small refrigerator, squatted down, and took out ice cubes from it.

"What are you doing?" Hachiman asked as he watched Uesugi Genshin pull out a fruit knife from somewhere, put on gloves, and start cutting ice.

"The initiation ceremony."

"Does the initiation ceremony require ice?" Hachiman asked, disbelieving.

"I am the minister!"

Hachiman remained silent, watching as Hachiman steadily cut the ice block into neat and beautiful squares, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

After all three pieces of ice were cut, Uesugi Genshin magically produced two bottles and three glasses from under the table.

When the clear, transparent liquid is stained with another amber color, the fluid swirls around the ice, creating the distinctive color of oolong tea.

Why do I say this? Because Uesugi Genshin himself said it.

He first flicked a match over the top of the cup, and instantly a brilliant blue flame rose up.

"Here, oolong tea."

The desk was slammed shut with a "bang".

"What kind of oolong tea is this?!"

Hmm, it feels like someone has said something similar.

Uesugi Genshin explained, "The Uesugi family's secret blend of oolong tea will become a tradition of the Executive Department from now on."

"Uesugi, is this a bar?" Hayama Hayato looked at the contents of his glass and said helplessly, "Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol."

Then he received strange looks from Uesugi Genshin and Hikigaya Hachiman.

"It's the apocalypse now, are you still going to follow the rules like this?" Hachiman retorted first.

“From now on, our enforcement department will be doing mostly illegal things, things that were previously explicitly prohibited by law. Your mindset is not good; you need to change it quickly.”

Uesugi Genshin placed the oolong tea in front of Hayama Hayato, saying, "Let's start with drinking."

"Ah, um, that makes sense." Hayama Hayato was convinced.

"No, no, no, that's not what I'm questioning." Hachiman pointed to the flame in the cup. "Since it can be ignited, it's mostly alcohol, right? Is it really okay to drink it?"

“That’s why I added ice.” Uesugi Genshin glanced at him. “Let’s talk business first, and we can drink it when the flames are almost out.”

"Oh, I see, you even considered that."

“So, to begin…” Uesugi Genshin took out a piece of paper and a pen and drew on it, “I have decided to establish two teams, 12 people in total, centered around the two of you, divided into four groups. Three of the groups will consist of a team leader and three members, while the team leader of the other group will also be the team leader. A vice-captain can be appointed to temporarily take over authority if the team leader has an accident.”

"And what about you, Uesugi?" Hayato Hayama asked.

"I am a team by myself, but if there are any new members who need to be mentored or people who are not suitable for group work, they can join me directly."

Few others could keep up with his movements, and he was capable of everything from battlefield command and general reserve to guerrilla warfare, assault, and reconnaissance. He was very versatile, and being divided into groups would actually hinder his operations.

"In addition, you each need to recruit your own teammates."

Hachiman pointed to himself and said speechlessly, "Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me? Putting Hayama aside for now, do I look like the kind of person who's popular?"

"Regarding this, you should first bring Caimuzuo in and then discuss it with him. He might have some candidates. In short, gather your own people from the surrounding area. Ability is not important; I will train them, but they must be reliable."

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza is one of the candidates. His loyalty to his friends is unquestionable and reliable. Moreover, Uesugi Genshin has never forgotten to help him fulfill his dream of becoming a swordsman.

There were no objections from Hachiman's side for the time being. Uesugi Genshin said to Hayama Hayato, "As for the other hand, I've temporarily placed Tamaro from Haibin High School under your command. I promised to give him a position, whether it's as vice-captain or not. However, I prefer that you let Tobe Sho and the other two be the team leaders. It's up to you. This isn't child's play. I just need reliability, and you have to deliver results."

"I understand, I'll consider it." Hayato Hayama nodded knowingly.

"For now, three or four people are fine. We can't send out so many people at the beginning; they're all a motley crew. You two will each lead three or four people, and I'll make sure nothing goes wrong. First, train the group leaders or the people in the direct support groups."

He slapped a simple organizational chart in front of them, and Uesugi Genshin glanced up at the clock.

"Then let's hurry, there's still some time before dark, let's go out for a bit and practice together in advance."

I had already confirmed the route when I went to the supermarket with Hiratsuka-sensei before, so now it's just another trip, which is very convenient.

Once a dungeon has been explored, it's just a repetitive, mechanical task with no real risk.

The flames in the cups of the two people opposite him had already gone out, so he extinguished the flames in his own cup.

"Then let's toast to the success of the Executive Department's first operation!"

"Ah."

"Ok."

The glasses clinked together, the remaining ice hitting the rim of the glasses.

Uesugi Genshin downed his drink without hesitation, Hachiman forced himself to gulp it down, while Hayama...

"Cough cough cough..."

"Ha ha ha ha......"

"puff......"

"Regardless of Uesugi, how come you're so comfortable, Hachiman?"

why?

Of course, it's because he drank it beforehand.

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

"Is this what Yukino-chan wanted to show me?"

After the main meeting, Yukino Yukinoshita held a small meeting with the heads of each department to inform them of the upcoming actions and the general arrangements and responsibilities of each department.

After Yukino Yukinoshita finished discussing matters with the department heads, only the two sisters remained in the conference room.

"Yes, sister, I plan to stay here."

"Hmm~, is it because you've found your own value? An existence that others parasitize."

"Sister, I hate the way you talk. And this isn't parasitism."

"Ah~, I'm sorry, that's just how I am. But in the end, don't I still rely on certain people to live? What about you, Yukino-chan?"

Because they can't live without Yukino Yukinoshita, Yukino Yukinoshita feels needed and loses her autonomy in her actions. This is exactly what Haruno Yukinoshita is worried about.

"This is my own decision." Yukino Yukinoshita adopted a nonchalant attitude, as if to say, "Believe it or not."
