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

He wouldn't go against his own wishes; if no one is willing to come, then he'll consider it a free donation!

"That's quite a bold move." Ten tons is enough to feed all of them for half a month.

Horikita Manabu didn't have any objection to Uesugi's proposal; on the contrary, he was happy to agree to it because, as the student council president, he was responsible for all the students and there was no reason for them to continue going hungry, a situation that was originally unlikely to improve for a long time.

The Self-Defense Forces went too far, sweeping away nearby factories, warehouses, and fuel tanks, leaving nothing behind, forcing them to now explore inland.

Moreover, just as the other party said, once the students from the Advanced Nurturing High School joined him, he would be able to trust the other party's Soubu High School even more.

In a society where order has collapsed, neither that man nor his power is a powerful ally and is worthy of being united with.

“But I have one condition: you can’t force students to go against their own will,” Horikita Manabu emphasized, while also adding as a reminder, “and there probably aren’t many third-year students who will go with you.”

"Second-year students too." For some reason, Nan Yunya also exuded kindness.

"Then I only need the first-grade classes A and B."

When Uesugi Genshin made the suggestion, Horikita Manabu refused decisively, saying, "No, take them all."

"Stop talking nonsense." Looking at the other side, Uesugi Genshin let out a mocking laugh. "Why did you dump this class on me when you yourselves clearly despise it?"

What he wants is high-quality labor, not people who are dispensable or even have negative benefits; he already has plenty of dispensable people on his side.

"Are you so familiar with the situation on our side?" Then Horikita Manabu silently looked at Ichinose.

"I didn't say anything." Noticing the student council president's gaze, Honami Ichinose shook her head and denied it.

Although most freshmen don't feel it, smart people are well aware of the difference between Class A and Class D; the students' qualities are completely different.

"I only did a little research beforehand. Originally, I planned to study and play here," Uesugi Genshin said, coming to Ichinose's rescue.

“I see.” Horikita Manabu closed his eyes, then looked up and said, “But I still disagree. Every student in every class should have an equal chance to leave.”

"Then let me choose, okay?" Uesugi Genshin tugged at his collar, indicating he would give them a symbolic chance.

"Okay." This is probably the limit. To be honest, if it were the C or D classes in the second or third year, Horikita would continue to maintain a tough stance. Class C is another matter, but as for Class D, who has just entered the first year, both he and Nanono Masa understand why the other party would refuse.

"Isn't this great?" Nan Yunya smiled from the side. His base was mainly second-year students, and exchanging first-year students for food was harmless to him. From beginning to end, the students in Class 1-D hadn't contributed anything, and besides...

So the older students all turned their attention to the first-year students.

"...Ahahaha, I need to discuss this with my classmates." Although she didn't have any particular opinions at the moment, Ichinose Honami was well aware of the situation of her classmates, so she needed to discuss it first.

"I'll ask too, but most of the first-year Class A students probably won't leave," Katsuragi Kohei said in a low voice. As Class A students, they had already participated extensively in various operations on the artificial island, and leaving now would be a waste of all their previous efforts.

"And what about you, Miss?" Uesugi Genshin looked at Sakayanagi Arisu, who was smiling but hadn't said a word.

"As you can see, I'm not in very good health." Sakayanagi Arisu gestured with her small hand, holding her cane. She smiled sweetly, with an adorable charm that could easily capture a man's heart. "You must have made a mistake in looking for me."

"The reason Sakayanagi is here is because she is the daughter of the late chairman," Katsuragi Kohei reminded him from the side, but his voice was very low.

"Thank you for the introduction, Katsuragi-kun," Sakayanagi Arisu said, turning her head to express her gratitude with narrowed eyes.

“No.” Uesugi Genshin shook his head, staring at her with the same look he had in his eyes. “If you are willing to come, I can offer you the position of vice president of Soubu High School, Ms. Sakayanagi from Class A.”

"!" Vice President?!

Everyone around was extremely surprised, including Yukino Yukinoshita.

"And who are you?" With her unchanging smile, Sakayanagi Arisu asked curiously.

"I am the vice president of Soubu High School," Uesugi Genshin said with a smile.

"Then it seems the vice president is insignificant in your eyes," Sakayanagi Arisu said with a smile.

"No, the vice president is very important, you know. But since I'm also the head of the executive department, responsible for fieldwork," Uesugi Genshin retorted, dismissing her claim that it was insignificant.

In other words, the military force is controlled by this man named Uesugi, while the finances are controlled by the girl Yukinoshita over there. Sakayanagi Arisu sees this very clearly, no wonder he casually said that he would give me the position of vice president, and that the most important military and financial matters are in my own hands.

However, if the student council completely controls that area, then the position of vice president is undeniably important.

“But my health isn’t very good,” she continued, using her health as an excuse.

“Humans use their brains to command their hands and feet. Isn’t the brain more important than the body?” Uesugi Genshin pointed out gently.

These words made Sakayanagi Arisu hesitate. She began to wonder if this person really valued her talent, was simply a fool, or was attracted to her body.

While not out of arrogance, I believe that even my slender body must hold immense appeal for people with certain fetishes.

Then, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "Please allow me to reply later."

"Ah."

Well, it seems there's been absolutely no progress so far, just "I'll reply later."

Are we only able to watch the other two classes now?

Thinking of this, Uesugi Genshin looked at Horikita Manabu and asked, "Do you have any student information? Could you please give me a copy?"

"..." During their conversation, Horikita Suzune clenched her fists without asking her anything! Even the sickly Sakayanagi was recruited as a talent, but she was overlooked.

This is how the same thing?

Horikita Suzune began to doubt herself. Was it really because she was bad at the subject? Or had the other person mistaken her for an older student?

No, if he can recognize Sakayanagi-san directly, why can't he recognize himself?

Why not ask yourself?

Her fists, resting on her thighs, clenched tighter and tighter, until she didn't even hear her brother calling her name.

"Ringtone?"

"Yes Yes!"

Horikita Manabu looked at his younger sister and sighed, "Please take him to Class D, and also have everyone in Class D who is in the dormitory gather together."

"I..." She's not in the class group chat, how can I contact her?

Horikita Suzune was somewhat at a loss; she couldn't even complete the simple tasks her brother had given her.

Seeing her brother's usual cold gaze, Horikita Suzune opened her mouth slightly, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't utter a single word.

"Let me help too," Ichinose Honami said, raising her hand. Perhaps she noticed Horikita's predicament, or perhaps it was out of kindness on her part?

"Okay." Horikita Manabu nodded in agreement, then looked at everyone, "There's nothing else, everyone go back to your duties."

Some students nodded and stood up to leave.

"Let's go, let's go." Nan Yunya also stood up, intending to leave.

Another group of students also stood up, albeit a beat behind.

The two are clearly distinct.

Uesugi Genshin saw all of this, and before leaving, Nagumo Masa smiled at him in a friendly manner. Was she planning to show him her goodwill?

It’s really easy to understand.

Kamuro Masumi followed behind Jisaka Yanagi Arisu, who was leaning on a cane and starting to leave. Just as she stepped out the door, she glanced back at the man.

Why was he looking at me instead of Sakayanagi earlier?

Chapter 255: Please come find me later, Ayanokouji-san.

After Tachibana Akane handed over the first-year students' information, which was originally only accessible to high-ranking school officials, to them.

After taking it, Uesugi Genshin looked through it and asked, "Are they all alive?"

Akane rolled her eyes without any politeness. "There are a total of 160 first-year students. 76 of them are still alive. Here is the information for all 160 students."

"Eh..." So he has to confirm it himself. He won't know whether Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is still alive until later.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka alone is worth 10 tons of grain.

He's a man worth 10 tons.

"I'll be going now," Tachibana Akane said goodbye, then turned and left.

There were only one man and three women left.

Honami Ichinose had already notified the girls in Class D she knew via the school's intranet, "Okay, I've already told everyone in Class D to gather at 11 o'clock."

Upon hearing her say that, Uesugi Genshin glanced at the time and said, "It's only 10:30 now."

“That makes sense. How about we take another stroll around the school?” Ichinose Honami suggested, leaning down with her full breasts drooping precariously.

"Then I'll skip it." Horikita Suzune didn't plan to go with them. "I'll just go to the classroom and wait."

"The student council president asked you to take us to Class D, didn't he?" Uesugi Genshin turned to look at the withdrawn girl.

"This..." She was speechless.

Because she brought up her most beloved brother, whose instructions she had to fulfill well... she couldn't let him down.

"Well, well, Horikita-kun, if anything comes up, just leave it to me, it's no problem," Ichinose Honami said kindly with a smile, taking on all the responsibility like an angel.

Horikita? Yukino Yukinoshita's eyebrows were slightly raised, and her thin lips were slightly pursed. It shouldn't be a coincidence that they share the same surname.

"I...I'll follow." Despite her hesitation, Horikita Suzune finally chose to go with them.

Uesugi Genshin looked at Yukino, a mischievous grin in his eyes, and gestured with his eyes, "Look at this personality, and of course, these black over-the-knee socks, they're just like yours."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him with her beautiful eyes, her cool face filled with anger, her eyes seeming to say, "I would never do such a thing."

Who knows.

Ah, if I keep teasing her, I definitely won't be able to coax her. Uesugi Genshin stopped joking with Yukinoshita.

The rain has stopped again, although the sky is still tinged with a grayish-blue hue, and it's uncertain when it will start raining again.

The ground was wet, with occasional puddles that would splash water if you stepped on them.

On the way, Uesugi Genshin and Yukino Yukinoshita walked side by side, while Ichinose Honami stood next to Horikita Suzune.

"Ichinose-san."

"Ah, just call me Ichinose. You're my seniors, right?" Ichinose Honami politely suggested.

"Ichinose, I didn't see anyone from Class C just now," Uesugi Genshin asked, turning to Ichinose behind him.

"Most of the people in Class C should be in their dorms, and some... well, Longyuan and the others are probably outside right now."

Is Longyuan still alive?

Uesugi Genshin thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the people in Class D?"

"I'm not in Class D, Horikita-san probably knows that better," Ichinose Honami said with a wry smile.

"I don't know either, but they're probably all just lounging around in their dorms doing nothing," Horikita Suzune said, shaking her head, her face clearly showing some dissatisfaction.

If you don't have anything else to do, you can study, read a book, or exercise on your own. What's the point of getting together and complaining all the time?!

Uesugi Genshin secretly glanced at the book that Horikita Suzune was holding, and the title of the book was "Crime and Punishment".

He used to read these kinds of books, but not anymore.

Ah, reality is already this tragic, why bother experiencing the tragedies in books?

He couldn't figure out whether Horikita Suzune had masochistic tendencies or if her brother had protected her very well.

In short, Uesugi Genshin was somewhat impressed by this young girl.

"Uesugi-kun and Yukinoshita-san, are you planning to stay here tonight?" Ichinose Honami suddenly remembered that the two hadn't said whether they wanted to leave.

"Staying here doesn't seem like a bad idea," Uesugi Genshin said, looking at Yukinoshita and asking for her opinion.

"Are there any rooms available?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked Ichinose. If not, they could sleep in the car; at least they were safe on the artificial island.

"I think so, I'll go ask later."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Ichinose." Uesugi Genshin said with a smile.

"No, this is my job." She originally joined the student council to help students in order to better serve them.

Seeing that it was almost time, Uesugi Genshin handed the umbrella back to Yukinoshita and asked for the student information she was holding. "Yukinoshita, go find Horikita-kun and assess the specific situation of this artificial island to see what level of assistance they need."

"I understand," Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in agreement.

"Rinne and I went straight to Class D." Uesugi Genshin said, pausing as he took the first page of the document, which smelled faintly of fragrance.

"Hey, don't call me Lingyin."
