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

The next moment, he stood up and followed.

Chapter 189: The Most Anxious One is the Son-in-Law

They ended up at the parking shed behind the building, a distance of less than a hundred steps.

There were two rows of bicycles parked in the parking shed, and those who could find the keys unlocked them.

However, all the cars were left here, because the parking shed was originally used to park bicycles and was not usually of any use, since the area where people were active was around Zongwu High School.

There was no one else there, only the two of them. Hachiman glanced at his bicycle, which was still there.

Ah, it's easy to tell. Although it's not in the same spot anymore, I've ridden it for so many years and often use this old buddy to take Komachi to school. You could say I have a lot of affection for it.

Hina Ebina stood opposite him. Hachiman tugged at his collar, intending to end this ill-fated relationship.

"Xiao Xuan, what are you listening to?" A small hand gently patted her shoulder.

Standing at the corner, Uesugi Genshin quickly turned around and put his index finger to his lips, "Shh!"

"What? What?" Yui Yuigahama's pink face showed great interest as she peeked out to see what was there.

He had barely made a move when Uesugi Genshin pulled him back and held that lewd body tightly.

The body in his arms instantly warmed up, and Tuanzi lowered her head shyly.

If Yui peeked out, Ebina, who was facing her directly, would probably spot her instantly.

Sighing, Uesugi Genshin was glad he had managed to stop her. He reached out and ruffled her little dumpling, explaining, "It's Hachiman and Ebina."

"Xiaoqi and Hime?" Yui Yuigahama, realizing what was happening, raised her head and shoved the dumpling directly into Genshin's face.

"Yeah, they're probably talking about pretending to be a couple."

"Huh? What's going on?" This was the first time Yui Yuigahama had heard of this, so she was shocked.

"Ebina and Hachiman are pretending to be a couple because Tobe Sho wants to confess to Ebina." Uesugi Genshin quickly explained the reason, listening intently to the commotion on the other end.

"Otoko, eh, eh?!" Yui Yuigahama was even more surprised, not expecting it to be a love triangle.

It turns out that Xiao Hu likes hibiscus. You don't often hear gossip about friends, but of course, that's nothing compared to what's coming next.

"I won't agree to that."

Hina Ebina's loud words instantly made Genshin Uesugi and Yui Yuigahama hold their breath and listen.

"So... I..." Hachiman sighed, intending to repeat himself.

But Ebina Hina interrupted him with a smile, saying, "Aren't I your girlfriend?"

"..." Hachiman's original intention was to tell Ebina that he had someone he liked, and then get Ebina to dump him.

He had at least patted his chest and promised the teacher he would keep his word. He had initially thought the other party didn't take this fake relationship seriously, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

"It just goes to show how powerful habit can be," Uesugi Genshin thought to himself, shaking his head and lowering his eyelids. He could understand Ebina Hina's feelings.

"Aren't you going to come out, you people listening in the back?" Hina Ebina suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama in his arms let out a surprised sound like a small animal, looking up at Genshin Uesugi's eyes as if to say: They've been discovered?

Her adorable appearance made Uesugi Genshin lower his head and kiss her forehead.

"Hmm..." A cat? No, it's a dog, as cute as a little puppy.

Then Uesugi Genshin shook his head in denial, certain that they hadn't been discovered. He was confident of that; they had remained in the shadows of the building the entire time, without even their shadows showing.

How could he make such a basic mistake? Even when Yui tried to step forward, he stopped her in time. Not to mention that Hachiman and the others were standing quite far away, and their voices were barely audible due to the wind.

So, it's highly likely that Ebina is bluffing them, and the reason for bluffing them...

"What?" Hachiman turned around and looked behind him for a long time.

"Oh dear, did I guess wrong?" Hina Ebina smiled and took a few steps forward, getting closer to Hachiman.

"No." With a serious expression, Hachiman shook his head and said, "Knowing that guy as I do, if there's something funny to see, he might actually follow us. He's like an old lady from Kansai when it comes to this kind of thing."

Rather, it's more accurate to say they're all pretty much the same kind of people—people who love watching the excitement.

"Let's go somewhere else then," suggested Hina Ebina.

“Okay.” Hachiman had no objection. “But I need to go out for a bit later.”

"Then I'll wait for you to come back, and then you can come to my room." Hina Ebina said, squinting her eyes and putting her hands behind her back.

"Hmm." Without much thought, Hachiman agreed immediately. After all, his room was full of boys, so it would be easier to talk to them there.

“Then it’s settled.” With a smile that Hachiman found as lovely as any other beauty, Ebina Himeko turned around and said, “Let’s go.”

"Ah," Hachiman replied, hunching over, and followed half a step behind Ebina.

"Hehe..." Hina Ebina chuckled a few times, then slowed down by half a step and stood shoulder to shoulder with Hachiman before the two of them left together.

Once again, only the silent bicycles remained in the parking shed.

"They're gone, they've left?" Yui Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes." Uesugi Genshin did not loosen his grip; he was still holding her.

Yui Yuigahama didn't mention this at all. Instead, she leaned back and clung to me like a dog. "Yumiko said you need to talk to me."

"Hmm." Uesugi Genshin actually prefers cats a bit more, at least that's what he thinks, but rather than saying he likes cats as a species, it would be more accurate to say he likes cute things. Even among cats, he doesn't like Siamese cats.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

"Hehe, I went to find Xiaoxue then." Yui Yuigahama chuckled and placed her hand on the thick forearm that was wrapped around her waist. Then she went downstairs and saw him walking by the window.

"I see." It just so happens that Yumiko ran into her when she went to find Yukinoshita. But, Yumiko...

"So, what do you want from me?"

"..." Yui Yuigahama released her grip, turned her body around to face him, and said, "I said, haven't you forgotten something?"

"what?"

"Your mother!!!" Uesugi Genshin shook Yuigahama Yui violently, feeling utterly helpless.

He felt that he was more anxious than the other party. Although she was the other party's mother, he, as the son-in-law, was the one who was thinking about her the most.

"Yes." Yui Yuigahama's eyes widened as she realized.

“You…” He moved his hand up from her shoulder, pinched her face, and tugged at it, his movements filled with affection.

"I...I thought I'd already told you everything, so Xiao Xuan, you must have a way."

And then I almost forgot about it with a sense of relief?

Uesugi Genshin was speechless for a moment. "Anyway, we'll be leaving soon."

"Hey, so in such a hurry?"

"Ah."

"Prepare......"

"Don't worry, I'm all ready."

"I see." Yui Yuigahama smiled innocently again. "Thank you."

Ah, she's probably thinking again that entrusting it to him was definitely the right decision, Uesugi Genshin sighed inwardly.

"After all, I am your lover."

Chapter 190: Heading to Inage Ward

"Huh?" When Hachiman reached the school gate, he saw someone he didn't expect. "Teacher, what are you doing here?"

"Yo~" Hiratsuka Shizuka greeted him, temporarily removing the cigarette from her mouth.

“I asked Hiratsuka-sensei to help out,” Uesugi Genshin explained, and then mentioned the purpose of the trip: “I’m going to Yui’s house to pick up her mother. It seems there are other people still alive in that apartment building.”

As he spoke, he raised his thumb and pointed to the two cars behind him, one being his Wrangler and the other being Professor Hiratsuka's car.

"So we'll go in two cars."

"I see." Hachiman expressed his understanding and handed the weapon he had taken from the Execution Department's armory to his teacher. "Then I'll go get another one."

Thinking that there would definitely be a fight if he went out, he consciously brought his studded baseball bat, but now it seems he is still missing one.

"I've got it ready here." Uesugi Genshin reached out to stop him, took a fixed baseball bat from the trunk, and handed it to Hachiman. It was originally intended as a backup weapon.

"Oh." After glancing at the other items in the trunk, Hachiman took them and asked, "Since there are other people involved, can we get it done this afternoon?"

If it's just Yuihama's mother, they can pick her up and leave, but when there are more people, packing things becomes much more difficult.

"Who knows?" Uesugi Genshin spread his hands, not daring to make a guarantee. "Yui's family lives in Inage Ward in the east. Just getting there will take some effort."

It wasn't a normal time, so we couldn't just walk east along the east-west road called Seaside Park Road right next to the school, because there was a Chiba Municipal Inahama Elementary School in the area near the Keiyo Line, and the tragedy that happened in front of the school completely blocked the road.

This was indicated in the map notes submitted by Hiratsuka-sensei, meaning that you can only go north or south, making a long detour to enter Inage Ward, and then find your way to Yui's house.

"Anyway... be mentally prepared to spend the night." Uesugi Genshin pulled a can of drink from his pocket and tossed it to his best friend.

“This is…” Hachiman took it and saw that it was a can of mocha coffee. “It’s not MAX.”

Rolling his eyes, Uesugi Genshin closed the trunk. "I don't collect those drinks that have coffee in sugar."

"No way," Hachiman retorted slightly. After all, this also had chocolate in it. He opened the jar, walked over to Hiratsuka-sensei, and placed it in her hand.

"What, aren't you going to drink it, Hachiman?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the coffee in her hand with slight surprise.

"Teacher, weren't you going to drive?" He didn't care whether he drank or not, but then, remembering something, Hachiman turned around and shouted in that direction, "This isn't payment for asking me for help, is it?"

“Yes,” said Uesugi Genshin, who was about to open the car door.

"That's really cheap." Hachiman pursed his lips, said nothing, and got into the car.

Meanwhile, in the Jeep Wrangler, Yui Yuigahama, who was already sitting in the passenger seat, asked Genshin Uesugi, "You're not really not coming back until tomorrow, are you?"

"Maybe." After placing the knife aside, Uesugi Genshin carefully checked for anything he might have missed.

"Ah... what about Xiaoxue?"

"Have you spoken to them over there?" Uesugi Genshin asked, turning his head.

"I did say it." Yui Yuigahama recalled that she had just gone to the student council room again.

Because he still has student council work, we need to inform him.

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

"Huh? I've never heard of this." Miura Yumiko crossed her arms, her lower back resting against the corner of the desk, the soles of her uniform shoes tapping rapidly on the ground.

No wonder... Ebina suddenly found a lover, even though she used to be like that.

She thought that Ebina might be shy and that's why she hadn't been interested in dating, so she tried to persuade her quite strongly. But Ebina just said, "Then let's just forget about it," and she said it with a smile, which felt very distant.

"I think as long as Hina is happy with it, then there's no problem." Yui Yuigahama originally came here just to deliver a message, but ended up talking about Hina.

However, Xiao Xuan also mentioned that if they were to go to their apartment to discuss the matter, she and Youmeizi might have to temporarily leave and give each other some space.

"Pretending to be a couple, isn't that a scene from a TV drama?" Iroha Isshiki, who was listening nearby, commented indifferently. She knew Ebina-senpai, but they weren't very close. She was more familiar with Hikigaya-senpai, though.

"Ah. Iroha-chan, and Yuki, please keep this a secret." Yui Yuigahama pleaded, clasping her hands together.

"Yes, don't worry, I'm not like some people." Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't have the habit of spreading rumors.

"Could it be that Senior Ebina has taken this as real?" Iroha Isshiki wondered, poking her cheek with her pink fingertips.

"Ebina?!" Miura Yumiko's voice rose, after all, this was about her friend.

“Ebina and Hachiman both seem like very rational people, so they must have a lot in common,” Yukino Yukinoshita analyzed, stroking her chin. “However, I’m quite curious about which girl Hachiman wanted to talk to Ebina about.”

This is really very strange. As the former captain of Hachiman Hikigaya, Yukino Yukinoshita has a deep understanding of his awkward personality. It is really surprising that he would start to actively seek love.

"Ahahaha, yes, it's Hiratsuka-sensei," Yui Yuigahama said with a silly grin.
