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

"Who is the leader?" Uesugi Genshin sheathed his sword.

"It's me." The voice was deep yet authoritative, and it was a girl!

As the crowd parted, the person who had spoken appeared before Uesugi Genshin.

The beauty has light blue hair and light blue eyes, and her temperament is similar to that of Uesugi Genshin. She is probably a lazy and casual person, but there is a fierce look in her eyes, which is different from Uesugi Genshin.

"Thank you for your help. I am Dragon Ball Momo." Her name comes from the Dragon Head Jewel, one of the challenges Princess Kaguya faced in the Japanese mythological story "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter."

"I am Uesugi Genshin."

"Hmm, Sword Saint of Hanamigawa, this is our first meeting." Dragon Ball Momo took a few steps forward and extended her right hand.

Uesugi Genshin glanced at it and shook hands back, saying, "Nice to meet you."

"No, no need for formalities. Shouldn't you be at the academy? Why are you here?" Dragon Ball Peach was clearly one of the people from Soubu High who knew about the visit.

"I have some business to attend to here," Uesugi Genshin said without offering further explanation.

"Never mind." Dragon Ball Momo's tone was somewhat annoyed, but that was probably her usual self. "Anyway, thank you so much for your help. Thankfully, no one else got hurt in the mess caused by those idiots."

She let out a long sigh of relief and tightened her grip on her hand, as if to emphasize how much she valued it. "I will remember your kindness."

“It’s alright. If Shuchiin and my Soubu High School form an alliance, then we will be allies. That’s only natural.”

"Ah~, that matter." Dragon Ball Momo let go of his hand and scratched the back of his head. "Well, I personally have no objection, and it seems that no one else has any objections either. It all depends on Silver. Don't worry about that."

"That's really..." Uesugi Genshin then asked, "Are you going back? Or..."

"Ha~, looks like we'll have to go back for now. This intensity is too early for these guys." Dragon Ball Momo muttered, "If only that bastard Kojima were here."

"What is the island?"

Kojima is the son of the Metropolitan Police Department's Superintendent General and the current captain of the Shuchiin Kendo Club. He defeated the previous captain as soon as he joined the club and became captain in just his first year. He is known as a strongman in the sports club.

They don't usually get along, so how could they possibly get along?

One is a gangster, the other is a policeman.

We no longer live in an era where the lines between the underworld and the legitimate world are blurred. In the new era of the rule of law in the 21st century, the space for the underworld to survive is gradually being squeezed, and going legit is an urgent matter.

Unfortunately, Kojima was infected during the zombie virus outbreak, and as a zombie runner, he caused Shuchiin a lot of trouble. Of course, running away from zombies is troublesome, and he wasn't the only one.

"I see." Uesugi Genshin understood.

"You drive back first," Longzhu Tao said, glancing at the jeep in the distance.

"Then goodbye." He waved.

"Okay, see you at school." Dragon Ball Momo waved back.

Chapter 104: Someone's Reason

"Is this Shuchiin?" Kato Megumi pressed her soft palm against the car window, looking at the school on the right side of the road.

The long history and grandeur of the academy are evident from its architectural style and magnificence.

"Hmm." Uesugi Genshin was about to drive in.

"Are we going to stay here all day?" Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her gaze away from the car.

"Yes, well, the school's leader is a good guy, trustworthy, and of course, only the student council members are really good people," he added, offering a slight reminder.

As for the participants of that joint meeting, which was similar to the board meeting, that was another matter entirely. It wasn't worth him sharing such a luxurious sentiment; he was a cautious man, or rather, exceptionally stingy.

When we were about to drive into the campus, we were stopped.

He rolled down the car window, and a girl he didn't recognize, who was standing guard with a different person than before, said with an embarrassed expression, "Um..."

"Here you go." Uesugi Genshin took out the access pass issued by the student council, which was actually given to him by Hayasaka Ai, to prove that he was not a stranger.

"Hmm." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, perfectly displaying the behavior of a new employee.

After checking and confirming that everything was in order, she waved to the people on the other side to clear the way so that the jeep could drive in.

He took the voucher handed back, closed the car window, yawned, and the tension he had been holding in instantly relaxed the moment he entered the car.

"..." However, seeing the girl who was checking IDs quickly run to her companions and point in this direction, causing the people around to stare in this direction, Uesugi Genshin realized that his judgment of the newcomer's performance might not be wrong, but it might not be entirely correct.

After the road was cleared, he stepped on the gas and drove away from the scene, stopping at a parking lot that Hayasaka Ai had mentioned earlier.

"We've arrived." Uesugi Genshin shook his head, putting the matter from his mind.

"call......"

"Wow, that was fast!"

As he was unloading the necessary luggage from the trunk, he wondered what to do next.

Hayasaka Ai appeared behind him without him noticing. "What have you done?"

"What? What?" Almost startled, he slowly placed the suitcase on the ground and handed it to Shiyu next to him.

"You've become famous on the school's network." She took out her pink phone, which resembled Yui Yuigahama's, tapped it a few times, and displayed it in front of him.

"Amazing! The figure of Chiba Kengo has appeared."

"The Sword Saint has seemingly become an ally; what's the truth?"

"Ah!!! The vibrant green of the valley, the lush and green... (The text abruptly ends here, likely due to an incomplete translation or a formatting error.)"

"Secret news: Two beautiful women, different from those before, have appeared beside the Sword Saint of Hanamigawa."

"Student Council Secret Force Reports: On the Shadow Power of President Shirogane."

...and so on

"Ha..." Hayasaka Ai looked at Uesugi Genshin's obviously stunned expression and clutched her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

"This...this..." Uesugi Genshin was completely taken aback. "Only a few minutes have passed?!"

“That’s the speed of the internet.” Hayasaka Ai knew this all too well, because two of her friends were members of the media department.

She was the one who suddenly overheard her friends talking about the Sword Saint, checked her phone, and then rushed to the parking lot in just a few minutes.

"Hmm." Uesugi Genshin rubbed his chin with his thumb and forefinger, and he also started to have a headache.

The gossip headlines are dazzling, and nine out of ten of them are complete nonsense, and they are being refreshed at a rapid pace, as if there are an unusually large number of idle people in Shuchiin.

"That's why I said don't put her hair back!" Even with her current gloomy hairstyle, she's still quite conspicuous. Hayasaka Ai's current mood is the same as when she faces her master: helpless! Hopeless!

"I need to drive!" You can't block your eyes, especially one eye.

"Stand up! Bi Jia  E  Gu Du Shun Du Xian Jia  Nuo Nang Luan Lie  Ba Nang Huang Qian Jun "

"Hmm." Uesugi Genshin calmed down after hearing the question from the beauty beside him. "This is Hayasaka Ai, a member of the student council, someone I can trust."

trust?

"Hello, I'm Hayasaka Ai." She could no longer wear a disguise, but it probably wouldn't matter to these two guests who were about to leave.

Both of them are very beautiful. One is a stunning older woman with a great figure, elegant and quiet yet exuding a captivating sex appeal. The other, upon closer inspection, is a high-quality young woman who is above average in every way.

"Hello, I am Kasumigaoka Utaha." Kasumigaoka Utaha returned the greeting gracefully.

"I'm Kato Megumi." Kato Megumi simply nodded, well, because she didn't think she'd be remembered...

"Hmm." After giving a brief introduction, Hayasaka Ai nudged Uesugi Genshin's waist with her elbow. "The student council needs to talk to you."

Then she said to Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi, "Please come with me, my two guests, and I will arrange a place for you to stay."

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Uesugi Genshin, nodded at him, and said, "Okay, thank you."

"Remember to avoid people if you don't want trouble," Hayasaka Ai reminded Uesugi Genshin as he turned to leave.

"Understood." Uesugi Genshin waved his hand without turning his head.

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

Upon arriving at the student council, Uesugi Genshin discovers that it is not Shirogane Miyuki who is looking for him, but rather the vice president, Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Where is Guild Master Shirogane?" Uesugi Genshin sat on the sofa, his sword on the coffee table, the hilt facing away from him as a sign of respect.

"The president is out leading people to collect supplies. I'm here to talk to you." Kaguya Shinomiya picked up a document from the desk in front of the huge wooden window. "I wanted to discuss the issue of exchanging supplies with you beforehand."

Or should we sound out their intentions beforehand...?

Uesugi Genshin remained calm and said, "Is that so?"

She sat on the sofa opposite her and handed over a few pages of papers. "These are resources that Shuchiin has compiled that can be exchanged."

Genshin Uesugi took it and carefully looked through it, from radios to solar searchlights, diesel and gasoline generators and various supporting equipment, as well as other electronic items.

They also listed quantities, which ensured that these items could be distributed to organizations with thousands of members. Some even suspected that they had revealed all their resources, suggesting that they had made a huge concession.

He flipped through the papers quickly, his expression unchanged. He could find some of the things elsewhere with a little effort, including a generator that would be useful in case of a power outage.

Some things may be hard to obtain, but they are not essential.

Seeing that he had finished reading, Kaguya Shinomiya chuckled, "This is our sincerity, what do you think?"

"no problem."

"We've found one person who can sail, but most of them aren't at school right now, so we probably won't be able to get a complete list until tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

"Then can we finalize the exchange of goods first?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked casually.

"Do not."

This answer made her face stiffen.

“I am not an accountant. I have handed over the management of supplies to our logistics department, so specific exchanges should be discussed with our accountant,” Uesugi Genshin explained.

He turned and asked, "Speaking of which, where's Accountant Ishigami?"

If this conversation took place privately by Kaguya Shinomiya and was not shared with other student council members...

“Accountant Ishigami is busy right now, I probably won’t see him until tonight,” Kaguya Shinomiya replied calmly.

According to Hayasaka, this person knows Ishigami for some reason, and seems to know a lot about some people in Shuchiin. Did he ask someone about it beforehand?

When Uesugi Genshin first looked at these lists, they seemed familiar. Wasn't this the summary that Yukino Yukinoshita had given him after organizing the general situation of the supplies?

It's pretty much the same. With a little more tidying up, it will have the content of this paper. There's also a printer next to it.

"My purpose in coming here is simply to ascertain the intentions of Shuchiin. A formal treaty cannot be finalized in a single negotiation, so there's no need to rush."

"No, because we need to roughly confirm the policy before we can take the next step. For example, clearing a port takes time. We can sign the basic treaty first and then supplement it later."

Kaguya Shinomiya stood up, picked up another draft of two treaties from her desk, and handed it to Genshin Uesugi.

Aside from some basic content, the following rules and regulations seem to favor the General Staff High School at first glance, but none of them are meaningful; they are just empty rhetoric.

The key point is that if one party in the alliance has a need, the other party will provide assistance as appropriate, provided that conditions permit and the timing is right.

What he wanted was not a loose and unrestrained alliance, but a close-knit group of interests that could complement each other.

"Has Guild Master Shirogane reviewed this treaty?" If the initial cooperation is only at this level, then establishing a close and trusting relationship will be a slow and long process.

"If you have no objections to this document, then President Shirogane will prepare accordingly, hold a meeting in advance to gather opinions from the entire school, and then announce it. All of this will take time to prepare."

"Furthermore, we will offer some compensation to Vice President Uesugi for his personal efforts in coming here." She produced a wooden box that could be held in both hands from somewhere.

Inside, there were gold jewelry and rings, with the necklace at the top, inlaid with a fuchsia gemstone, being particularly eye-catching.

"Ha..." Uesugi Genshin scratched the back of his head in annoyance. Did he really have to bring out his dowry as well?

"The young lady of the Shinomiya family is truly a selfish person." However, Uesugi Genshin's motives are equally impure, so...

"Huh? What do you mean?" This was a qualified political document that she had modified based on Fujiwara Secretary's experience. It was universally applicable and incorporated the Shinomiya family's skillful and effective methods. She thought it would be perfect for dealing with ordinary people.

"Are they treating me like an enemy? Is it because of someone else?"

"..."

"..."

"What can I do?! Hayasaka, I will not give it to you no matter what!" Kaguya Shinomiya declared.
