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

"..."

"I just can't do anything with you." Yumiko rolled her eyes charmingly.

Her next action made Uesugi Genshin realize that she had definitely read some "strange" comics.

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

"Wall-E!"

"Eva!"

Listening to the heartfelt voice on the television, the three of them huddled together on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, watching the movie that Uesugi Genshin had borrowed.

They had originally intended to pass the time, but all three of them became completely engrossed in it, and this was Uesugi Genshin's third time watching it.

But to be honest, if he hadn't happened to see it at the time, he would never have remembered the name of the movie, and he had also forgotten most of the plot.

As for Yumiko and Yui, they also watched it when they were young. After all, "WALL-E" was the box office champion in Japan at the time, and elementary school students and their parents were the main audience.

In the darkness, he tilted his head, resting his chin on Yui's tied-up bun, his fluffy hair looking very comfortable.

Meanwhile, Yumiko was fiddling with her slightly curly blonde hair with her fingertips while watching television intently.

Robots, wasteland, and love—these elements are intertwined, seemingly reflecting their current predicament.

The three of them remained in the same position until the movie ended, without moving.

"That's so touching." As she said this, Yui even wiped the corner of her eye.

"WALL-E's home on Earth is like a secret base," Yumiko said, lying on her right side against his chest. "It's very comfortable for one or two people to live there."

"Yes, that's right." Yui agreed. It's a small space, but it has everything. It's like a treasure chest. It's so cool, isn't it?

"Ha, if I hadn't stayed at Soubu High, this would probably be the kind of life I'd be living." After thinking about it, Uesugi Genshin didn't really think that would be comfortable.

That's too romanticized. The truth is, living alone in a city on Earth, even if you can make a comfortable living by scavenging, the loneliness of being all alone and the fear of being chased by loneliness are what ultimately make it unbearable.

"Do you still want to run away alone?" Yumiko turned around and glared at him at close range, somewhat angrily.

"Huh? Are they really going to wipe them all out? Why don't you run?" Uesugi Genshin asked in confusion. And he wasn't alone; he had originally intended to take Hachiman with him.

"Oh, right." Only then did Yumiko realize that she didn't even know him back then, and she lowered her head in disappointment.

"Now... I'll protect you all." Looking at Yumiko's appearance, he stroked her hair to comfort her, then added casually, "If things really get too bad, I'll just take you all with me and run away."

As the vice president of Soubu High School, he has absolutely no awareness of sacrificing for Soubu High School.

“You…” Yumiko patted him with amusement, but she completely agreed with what Genshin said.

With arms outstretched, there's only so much space; you can only truly protect this small area.

I suddenly recalled the things he had said before.

"Yumiko?" Grabbing the hand that was groping him, Uesugi Genshin looked at the culprit. Yui wouldn't dare do such a thing.

"What's wrong?" She didn't seem entirely innocent; Yumiko looked up at him with a defiant gaze.

"Isn't your body satisfied yet?" Surely he can't be sexually unsatisfied; otherwise, he'll start to doubt himself.

“No.” Yumiko shook her head gently, smiling mischievously. “My body is already strong enough, but I think I can still continue.”

Love drives desire, not the other way around.

“But I think I should go to sleep.” Uesugi Genshin glanced at the clock, hoping for Yui’s support, “Besides, Yui should be sleepy too.”

"Haha..." Although Yui smiled helplessly at Yumiko, she didn't mind.

"Don't worry." Yumiko crawled out from under the covers and moved from the middle of the sofa to the other end. Uesugi Genshin could only see her upturned buttocks, her lush grass, and what looked like a door that wasn't closed yet.

She picked up her coat, took out something from inside, and stuffed it into Xuanxin's hand, saying, "I prepared this especially for you."

Pounding her chest proudly, Yumiko immediately burrowed back into the three-person blankets, muttering, "So cold~".

“…” Uesugi Genshin examined the medicine bottle in his hand and immediately noticed the large characters on it: “Peerless” and “Intense Conflict”.

Isn't this supposed to be an energy booster?!

His hand almost trembled, then he tossed the bottle to Yumiko, saying, "I don't need this."

"If this continues, we might actually need it," Yumiko said with a smile, shaking the bottle.

"Whose fault is this...?" He was utterly speechless. "By the way, where did you find this?"

A normal school health room would never have this. If it's not Zongwu High School, then it must belong to one of the residents in this apartment building.

"I don't know, Ebina gave it to me." But Yumiko shook her head and said another name.

"......" Wasn't it Ebina last time too? "Isn't Ebina a fujoshi (female fan of BL)?"

Don't even think about taking it; you shouldn't even know about it.

As expected, it's because...

"What's a fujoshi?" Yui asked curiously, pointing to her lips with her index finger.

"Yui doesn't need to know," Yumiko said, "okay."

This treatment of a child made Yui puff out her cheeks adorably, "I know, it's just... the love between two men, I guess."

Although it was too general, these words made both Uesugi Genshin and Yumiko look at each other simultaneously.

Yumiko hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "More or less..."

"Yui, you actually know that?" Uesugi Genshin leaned back on the sofa and teased her.

"I do know about this." After all, it was Hina who said it; if you don't know her, you won't know what she's talking about.

I did a quick search on Wikipedia and was genuinely shocked.

So that's what "fujoshi" and "BL" mean.

"Well, let's go to the bedroom first," Yumiko suggested, intending to walk there wrapped in the blanket. She felt a blast of cold air when she lifted the blanket earlier, and she didn't want to go out again.

"Okay, okay." Yui snuggled up to Yumiko; their relationship was no longer just "very good."

"Ha..." After turning off the TV with the remote, Uesugi Genshin reached out and picked up the two of them. They were indeed a bit heavy. "Hold on to the blanket so it doesn't fall off."

"Hehehehe..." It was an unexpected experience; it was the first time she had ever been rolled up like a dumpling and picked up like this. Yumiko chuckled.

"Got it."

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

When he woke up in the morning, before he even opened his eyes, the first thing Uesugi Genshin thought of was the alarm clock he had set.

Didn't it make a sound?

I tried to get up, but I couldn't get up at all.

There were two heavy objects pressing down on him, and they were unusually heavy.

I glanced out the window and saw sunlight streaming in through the gap in the curtains, creating a peculiar Tyndall effect.

Silently turning his face to look at the ceiling, Uesugi Genshin knew that it wasn't exactly late, but there wasn't much time left, if it were any other time.

"Get up, you're going to be late for work."

As he spoke, Uesugi Genshin slowly peeled Yui off his body.

Even though it's only May, it's still quite hot to be hugging all the time.

The way she was hugging herself tightly with her wrists made her look like a clingy pet dog.

"...Hmm?" Yumiko was the first to be startled awake. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up wearily.

The blanket slipped off her body, revealing her beautiful body.

"What time is it?" But there was still a hint of sleepiness in his voice.

"The phone is over there." Uesugi Genshin helped her pull the blanket back up, and she quickly pulled it back up as it slipped down again.

"It's only seven o'clock." Yui Hama next to her suddenly laughed after seeing the phone, and hugged him even tighter.

Then, Yumiko muttered in an almost inaudible voice, "It's only seven o'clock."

Then the two of them clung to him again, openly revealing their desire to go back to sleep.

"Um..." He tried to stop them, but almost gave up struggling, and decided to go with the two of them.

He lay back down on the bed, but before closing his eyes, Uesugi Genshin asked as if to confirm, "The alarm clock will ring, right?"

"Um......"

"Well......"

No, these two aren't listening at all!

what......

The alarm clock went off as expected, which was fortunate.

"Want to go have breakfast together?" Yumiko asked, sitting on the bed while putting on her calf socks.

As informal members of the cooking club, they generally do not need to participate in the preparation of breakfast. They can leisurely eat breakfast and then start preparing lunch.

However, as the person in charge of the dispatch, Yumiko still needs to be present.

"Should we eat...?" Uesugi Genshin, who was already dressed simply, sat down next to him and began to think about the question.

Her hands weren't idle either; she was still helping that lazy little one who was lying in bed, putting on his socks.

She was almost dressed when she suddenly collapsed onto the bed. Was she being affectionate?

Her feet were small and delicate, with toes arranged like pearls, and even when tucked into calf socks, they looked exceptionally alluring.

No, no.

He almost succumbed to temptation again.

What a dangerous morning.

Chapter 235: A New Encounter is Needed

"Never mind, I'll go check if Yukinoshita and Hayasaka are ready."

If we have dinner together, our departure time may have to be postponed again.

Breakfast isn't really necessary; you can make do with some small bread rolls from a package.

"I see." Yumiko reached back to straighten her skirt, then took a few steps closer to him. "Be careful on the way."

She placed her right palm on his face, a somewhat lonely smile appearing on her face, exuding a sweet fragrance, and pressed her pink lips to his lips.

"Yui, let's go!" She put down her hand and immediately pulled Yui, who was lying motionless on the bed, up.

"Eh~" Even after being pulled up, Yui still shook her head and squinted her eyes, looking like she really hadn't woken up yet.

"Let her continue sleeping." Uesugi Genshin chuckled and reached out to pinch her cheeks with both hands. The skin of the young girl, full of collagen, felt wonderful to the touch.

"No way! I have work to do this morning." Upon hearing his suggestion, Yumiko shook her head and refused immediately, "You spoil her too much."

No one skips work just because they want to sleep in.

"Alright, alright." Seeing Yui about to lean towards Yumiko again, Uesugi Genshin leaned in and kissed her forehead as a farewell.

"Hey!" This made her quite awake. She opened her eyes wide, her blank stare seeming to ask why it was her forehead.

"Then let's go." Seeing that she could walk on her own, Yumiko grabbed her hand and prepared to go out.

Before leaving, she also took the pajamas they had worn the day before from the bed, saying, "I'm taking the rest of the clothes to wash."

"Ahhh..." Yui hadn't even reacted before she was pulled away.

Uesugi Genshin waved goodbye gently, but then again...

"......" Will I return it to him after I wash it?

He silently opened the wardrobe and took a look. He took out a few items at first, though he couldn't quite remember, but he checked them carefully.

...I only have one T-shirt left in my closet!!!

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

When he opened the apartment door, the door across the hall also opened.

But it was none other than Kato.
