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

“I remember we received survivors from Chiba University before,” Uesugi Genshin asked Hayama Hayato beside him.

"Yes, they ran out of the side door when they were rescued, there were only about 20 people." Hayama Hayato nodded. Now those college students were scattered to various departments, together with students from other schools.

People from foolish schools often wander around the scene of an incident, which is why fewer people are rescued. Some of these rescues are due to practical problems such as a lack of food and water, while others are driven by foolish impulses.

"The old method, clean it up little by little."

“Yes,” Hayato Hayama agreed.

Only 40 minutes have passed in the afternoon, and there are still nearly two hours left. If we can clean this place up, then this afternoon's operation will be considered a success.

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

After a tiring afternoon, Uesugi Genshin sat at a table in the student council room, writing a written report and verbally reporting the day's achievements to the accountant.

"So, that means the area around the school can be completely fenced off tomorrow?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, sitting upright in her chair with her slender waist.

She didn't lean back in her chair; the school uniform cinched her waist, giving her a delicate, slender figure.

Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders, her skin was as cold as snow yet as smooth as satin, and her clear blue eyes were so captivating that one couldn't help but take a second look; they were as refreshing and addictive as mint.

It's a pity that you can't see the legs. Uesugi Genshin scratched his face and continued writing, "Yes, we've left one opening for vehicles to get in and out, but we'll block the rest for now."

"We will focus on clearing out the zombies in the apartment building next door first. The doors there are tightly closed, so there's no need to worry about the zombies coming out."

"That way, we won't have to squeeze several people into one classroom without blankets. It's still a bit cold at night, but thankfully no one has caught a cold."

Because there were more people, it got warmer, and the exhaled carbon dioxide raised the temperature of the whole room a little.

“That makes sense.” Yukino Yukinoshita nodded.

"And when they are strong enough to act independently, I will take them to search the factories in Newport, so that we won't have to worry about supplies at all."

Things got better little by little, thanks to their efforts.

“Speaking of which, my sister said she’s leaving tomorrow,” Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly brought it up.

Chapter 89: Licking feet is acceptable. Licking shoes is not.

"Are you ready on your end?" Uesugi Genshin glanced in the direction of Yukino Yukinoshita.

“Yes, of course.” Yukinoshita nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Here you go, senpai and Yukinoshita-senpai, black tea."

Iroha Isshiki brought them freshly brewed black tea.

"Hmm? This isn't the one I had before." Yukino Yukinoshita took a small sip of her lips and asked with a frown.

"Ah~, this was chosen by Uesugi-senpai." Isshiki Iroha put her hands behind her back and looked at Uesugi Genshin.

"I think it's easier to drink if it has a slightly sweeter aftertaste." The previous one from Yukino Yukinoshita was a bit bitter, but this one is relatively sweeter.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't offer any opinion, continuing to sip her black tea, her elegant demeanor befitting a young lady.

"How about milk tea?" Uesugi Genshin asked, deciding to push his luck.

"You mean those unhealthy drinks with lethal amounts of sugar?" To everyone's surprise, Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "They'll make you fat."

"Fat?" Uesugi Genshin uttered the word, subtly shifting his gaze from the other's waist to his chest. "Ah~, it's better to be a little chubby."

However, this stealthy action was still noticed by the two people present.

Yukino Yukinoshita cast that familiar disdainful look at him, then lowered her head and continued working as if she didn't care. "Whatever."

Meanwhile, Isshiki Iroha puffed out her chest as if showing off, revealing a cute little expression of slight pride.

This left Uesugi Genshin somewhat speechless. Aren't you two equally matched? At most, you're more like the Crouching Dragon, a bit stronger than the Young Phoenix.

The upper limit may not even exceed C, and the moisture content is very, very high. Japan's sizes tend to be one size larger than those of other countries.

D is actually C, B is actually A, so is Miss Yukinoshita B or A? This is a heartbreaking question.

So girls from Saitama are the most famous; their average grade is universally acknowledged as an A, and this A is actually the lowest A grade in the entire country. Ah, baby formula and vests must sell very well in Saitama Prefecture.

The snow is flat, and the sun is round. Did the mother under the snow foresee the future of her daughters when choosing their names?

“This is a draft concerning the value and purchasing power of currency.” Yukino Yukinoshita handed a stack of papers over from the table.

Uesugi Genshin took it and saw that it was full of entries, with explanations and notes for each piece of data.

The game tokens they brought back were round metal coins, with denominations of 1, 10, and 100. The arcade had even dyed the 1-yuan coins bronze, the 10-yuan coins silver, and the 100-yuan coins gold.

Therefore, it is simply referred to as 1 gold, 1 silver, and 1 bronze.

The salaries for clerical positions listed on the paper, such as those in the Ministry of Health or the Propaganda Department, are the lowest. Regular staff members receive six copper coins, while temporary staff members receive only four copper coins.

The culinary department deserves a bonus for its hard work. For the more than 300 students in the school, they often spend a whole morning preparing lunch and most of the afternoon preparing dinner. It's similar to running a restaurant, busy from morning till night. So their pay is slightly better, but not by much, because they don't have to pay for their meals. The accountant and the logistics department also take the issue of waste seriously.

The highest level is the Executive Department, with one silver and two bronze rank. Meals are free, with meat at every meal. It's the most expensive set meal that's free. You can buy extra meals if you want them.

The Organization Department has both high and low pay levels. The cleaning team of the zombie scavenging group generally has the highest pay because they first have to overcome their psychological barriers, not to mention that the zombies will smell disgusting after they turn sour. The guard team and the engineering team are next in line, depending on the specific adjustments, because they have to go outside. As for those who allocate temporary staff to various departments, commonly known as odd jobs, they have the lowest pay of four copper coins in the Health Department, and in other places they are generally one level lower than the regular members.

Regarding the pricing of items, the minimum price for a set meal in the canteen is three copper coins, which includes rice, vegetables, and soup; the maximum price is six copper coins, which includes rice, vegetables, meat, and soup.

Canned goods can be bought by yourself. The cheapest are seafood, whether it's seaweed, shellfish, or fish, averaging four copper coins. There's a type of extremely unpalatable seaweed canned goods that makes you wonder "why it exists" and "would anyone really buy it?" It costs two copper coins.

Canned poultry and livestock meat are much more expensive, averaging eight copper coins, while beef is around one silver coin, with variations depending on flavor and ingredients.

Other snacks that are not necessities have a high apparent premium, similar to canned meat, but their cost-effectiveness is clearly not as good as canned meat.

However, they even listed free meals, a small bread or rice ball for breakfast and dinner, which was very thoughtful and showed a humanitarian approach.

"There's a question about the absence of Condom." Condom is a loanword, so the Japanese pronunciation of koudomu is basically the same as the Japanese pronunciation of this English word.

"?" Yukino Yukinoshita stared wide-eyed in rare shock, her expression quickly turning into one of disbelief as if she were looking at an insect, which saddened Genshin Uesugi.

"Cough cough cough, Senpai! What are you saying?" Isshiki Iroha stood up excitedly, her face flushed. For this young girl, this was something she had heard of but never experienced.

“This is a real problem, ha~~~” Uesugi Genshin propped his chin up and tapped his fingers on the table. “One by one, my subordinates are troubled by being confessed to.”

"Ah~, it's about your club members, senpai." Iroha Isshiki nodded understandingly.

"You still have the leisure for this?" Yukino Yukinoshita found it unbelievable, because she had never had anyone she liked in her previous life.

"It's only happening now, and it'll probably increase in the future." For example, "Can I rub your breasts before I die?" There are even light novels with this kind of thing.

He didn't object to his subordinates dating. Love itself wasn't the problem; it was one of the basic human emotions. But pregnancy was a huge issue! Where would they give birth? They didn't have any doctors here, and Shiroi-senpai's part-time role in the infirmary was more like that of a psychologist, so she didn't really qualify.

"What if something unexpected happens?" Uesugi Genshin didn't finish his sentence. "I don't object, but at least the conditions aren't right now. When we need more people to rebuild society in the future, we should encourage it, so there's no need to explicitly prohibit it at this stage." Because it's largely useless.

“But…” Yukino Yukinoshita did not refute, but thought about it seriously, and then sighed, “At least impure sexual relationships should be prohibited.”

"Hmm, and they don't explicitly encourage dating. How about pricing the Condom at one silver? A slightly higher price to raise the bar a bit."

So the topic finally came to an end, and the draft of the accounting proposal by Yukinoshita was basically approved by the vice president.

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

"I'm leaving today to report back to Mother." Yukinoshita and Uesugi Genshin walked side by side down the corridor.

“I know, that’s why I’m seeing you off. My sincerity is already prepared,” Uesugi Genshin said confidently.

"Then let me see your sincerity." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled, looking interested.

As the two walked out of the building, the number of people who had come to see them off suddenly increased significantly, and several students who had been called over came to help move and set up the sound system and musical instruments.

The morning sun hid behind the clouds, making the sky appear much darker, like dawn, even though it had long since passed.

Uesugi Genshin and Yukinoshita Haruno stood quietly to the side, waiting for them to be ready.

Yukino watched the busy students with great interest until everything was okay and everyone else had left.

Yukino Yukinoshita picked up the guitar, Yui Yuigahama held the microphone, the teacher was on the drum set, and Shiromai-senpai was on the keyboard.

A clear, gentle, and warm girl's voice sang "Haru Niki" and "Yuki-furu" along with the music. Her voice was full of energy, vitality, and youthful JK (high school girl) vibes.

She's a high school girl who wears calf socks and a pleated skirt, showing off her big floral thighs, and who pouts and acts cute.

After the music ended, Hayato Hayama stopped the crowd of onlookers on the other side of the building, while Haruno Yukinoshita exuded a noticeably lighter aura, indicating that she was in a good mood.

"Hey~~~, is this the sincerity you were showing me?"

Uesugi Genshin held out his palm. "Yes, I wrote the lyrics and composed the music. How about that? That's some sincerity."

"But wasn't it Yukino and the others who sang the last part of the song?" Yukinoshita Haruno turned to the side, face to face.

“But this song is one I wrote for you,” Uesugi Genshin said with a light laugh.

Yukino Yukinoshita showed a pitiful expression of disappointment, "In the end, it wasn't just your sincerity."

He was afraid that if he sang it himself, it wouldn't be sincere, but malicious. How could he say such a thing?

"I think this song is very suitable for girls to sing, so I asked Hiratsuka-sensei for help."

"Hmph~, the sincerity is diminished, it's not enough, but the song is very nice, thank you." Yukinoshita Haruno put her hands behind her back, bent over, and took one or two steps closer to Uesugi Genshin, close enough to smell each other's breath, as well as the beauty's intoxicating body fragrance and the youth's clean fragrance. Her well-shaped breasts drooped down due to gravity, and then bounced back up.

"Hahaha, what else do you want?" Uesugi Genshin lowered his head and met his eyes without any fear. The distance between the two could be described as a kiss in progress.

"Hmm~, let me think about it..." Turning around as if pondering, Yukinoshita Haruno said in a joking tone, "If you can kneel down and lick my shoes."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Yui Yuigahama frantically waved her hands, trying to stop them, but she didn't know what to say or what to lick. Um... she was unwilling and very shy, as this was an extremely unfamiliar territory for her.

"Sister?" Yukino Yukinoshita was about to scold her.

A roar interrupted her, "Are you kidding me?"

"Hachiman?" Uesugi Genshin turned around as if moved, looking at his friend who had come up to him.

"The shoes are dirty. At least take them off and lick your feet."

"Hey, hey, hey, what about my opinion? What about my dignity?"

With a pained expression, Hachiman said solemnly, "This is what I'm thinking: to make you kneel down in exchange for Haruno-san's full assistance is really... too cheap!"

"That's because you're not the one who's embarrassed!"

"Puhahaha, you have a very good friend." Yukinoshita Haruno laughed happily, no longer mentioning the licking incident, and turned to walk towards her car.

Uesugi Genshin and Hachiman followed behind him, their eyes meeting from her unseen perspective.

As expected, Uesugi Genshin didn't fall for it and gave him a look.

Hachiman shook his head. Although the two of them worked together very well on the spot, it would be useless if the other side did not respond.

In an instant, what seemed like an insult transformed into a romantic flair.

As for kneeling, Uesugi Genshin didn't care at all unless the whole school was watching. As for licking, he was a little worried about getting a fungal infection in his lungs. Ah, he would be even happier if Ms. Haruno wore black stockings.

However, since he made this request, Yukinoshita Haruno was avoiding the question of whether or not to become partners. Now he is even postponing his answer. However, he is at a disadvantage for breaking his promise, so he has managed to turn the tables.

This SSR card is extremely rare and highly sought after; you absolutely must get it because there are only a handful of SSR cards in the entire Soubu High School. He's one, followed by Hachiman, Hayama, Hiratsuka-sensei, and Yukino Yukinoshita, making a total of five. The combat department alone takes up three of them, and Hiratsuka-sensei is a support card that can be used anywhere.

Yukino Yukinoshita is a specialist in political management. If in the past, even though Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly weaker, she could defeat Hachiman because she had learned Aikido; now, with weapons in hand, Hachiman is sure to win.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita is different. Her combat potential is on par with everyone else, and she is impeccable in other aspects. She can be called an all-around SSR card, which is why he said that the previous invitation was as an ally.

This would increase the Soubu High Command's apparent strength by at least one-fifth, and as the heir to the Yukinoshita family, the bond between him and the Chiba Self-Salvation Committee would be strengthened.

From this perspective, if we change the evaluation criteria, compared to his own outstanding individual abilities, Yukino Yukinoshita's stats are fully qualified to be compared with his.

However, it is still very difficult now. As expected of Yukinoshita's peak.

Chapter 90: Differential Treatment

You underestimated him.

Unexpectedly, the student that Shizuka cared about was also a good talent. Yukino Yukinoshita ignored the secret conversation between the two behind her.

I originally intended to gloss over it.

So, being that person's friend means things aren't that simple?
