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

This position, this posture.

In an instant, Eriri's mind went into overdrive, recalling countless plot points from various doujinshi.

On a gloomy morning, the two of them entwined in bed, the woman tending to the man's normal morning physiological needs.

It looks exactly like her drawing!

"Sorry to bother you!!!" She ran away from the living room as if fleeing.

"..."

"..."

"Ha... are you still sleeping?" Yukino Yukinoshita rested her chin on his chest and asked.

"...Never mind." Thanks to Eriri, I'm wide awake now.

Even with my eyes closed, I feel anxious and apprehensive.

The two of them threw off the covers and stood up from their makeshift beds on the floor.

Watching Yukino adjust the open hem of her kimono, Uesugi Genshin couldn't help but sigh regretfully, "It's a pity that I took off my tabi socks when I went to sleep."

"You can't sleep wearing those things." Tabi are, in a sense, indoor shoes, and they're quite thick.

“Otherwise, it would be a breathtaking sight.” Uesugi Genshin looked at the hem of his kimono, now closed again, and felt even more regretful. “Although it was a breathtaking sight just now.”

Her round, snow-white thighs were particularly eye-catching, making it impossible to look away. Yukino's innocent appearance aroused lewd thoughts; this was the allure of pure desire!

That scene has been saved in my brain; I'll never forget it.

"Go wash up, it's time to start preparing breakfast." Yukino Yukinoshita pushed him outside.

After everything was settled, the two began preparing breakfast for the group.

Yesterday's rice has already been shaped into rice balls and stored in the refrigerator; it just needs to be reheated.

Chikuzen-ni is a local dish that only needs to be warmed up in the pot. It is made from burdock, taro, radish, shiitake mushrooms, and mostly tuberous vegetables and chicken.

“Let’s fry the toast we made yesterday with butter too,” Yukino Yukinoshita suggested.

"Then I'll fry a few more eggs and some bacon while I'm at it." Uesugi Genshin skillfully placed the pan on the stove.

“Okay.” Yukino Yukinoshita nodded and went along with it.

When they finished, they looked at each other and smiled.

Chapter 301: Two People I Like

"Good morning." Hayasaka Ai went to the living room to get a drink of water and saw that the two of them were already up and had even prepared breakfast.

"Good morning. Breakfast will be ready soon. Please go and wake everyone up, Ms. Hayasaka." With that, Yukino Yukinoshita placed a plate of fried eggs on the table.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go in a bit." Hayasaka Ai first filled her water glass in the kitchen, then leaned against the kitchen cabinet and drank the water little by little.

On the other side, Uesugi Genshin was standing next to Hayasaka, frying toast. He easily flipped it over with a spatula, and the toast was golden brown, looking very appetizing.

With half her face obscured by the cup, Hayasaka Ai peered at her sideways, making her own conclusion.

It seems that nothing special happened at all.

After all, she still had the leisure to get up early to make breakfast. Yukinoshita's accountant bed was right next to hers. Even with the lights off, she knew that someone hadn't come back to sleep at all that night, and the bed next to hers was empty.

"..." Upon realizing he was being watched, Uesugi Genshin looked at her with a subtle expression, while Hayasaka Ai met his gaze without fear.

"What's wrong?" Yukino Yukinoshita walked back to the kitchen and asked curiously, looking at the two who were silently staring at each other.

“I guess Hayasaka is a little curious.” Uesugi Genshin turned off the heat and placed the last two slices of toast on a plate.

There was already a stack of food on the plates, and considering there were so many people, there was still a concern about whether there would be enough to eat.

"Curious?" Yukino Yukinoshita was about to reach for the plate when Genshin Uesugi grabbed her hand and pulled her away.

Her waist was embraced, her face was gently kissed, and her right hand was held tightly. She was forced to nestle in his arms.

My mind didn't process it for a moment, or rather, I subconsciously stopped thinking.

"Congratulations." Although she had prepared herself, Hayasaka Ai was still surprised, and at the same time, a sense of melancholy arose in her heart.

She casually placed the cup on the cupboard, intending to go and wake the others up.

"So we should get along well from now on."

Then her waist was wrapped around his arm, and her body was pulled into his arms, her back pressed tightly against his chest.

...Unexpected.

Hayasaka Ai's pupils dilated; this person had just been exposed!

"Huh?" Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly taken aback, but quickly deduced a fact from the words and actions, "Could it be that Hayasaka-san...?"

"!" Hayasaka Ai felt her face burning hot. She could no longer maintain her poker face and didn't even dare to look at Yukinoshita.

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a small, almost inaudible sigh, "Are there any girls you haven't yet made a move with?"

“I have very high standards,” Uesugi Genshin explained, “not just anyone will do.”

"Yes, yes." Although it was a roundabout way of praising herself, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't appreciate it and replied perfunctorily.

Then she looked at Hayasaka with normal eyes and said, "Miss Hayasaka, please make sure you keep a close eye on this man."

This means that as his deputy, you'll spend a lot of time by his side, so be careful not to let him stray again.

Regaining her composure, Hayasaka Ai understood the implication and nodded, "I know."

But knowing something doesn't mean it's useful; she was well aware of that.

Yukino Yukinoshita was well aware of this, otherwise she wouldn't have had a chance, just like how confident she was last night that her confession would be accepted.

This person doesn't know how to refuse at all; being too gentle is also a flaw.

To say now that I will reject all confessions from me after this is a bit too presumptuous.

It feels as if the tacit understanding that the predecessors planted the trees so that the successors could enjoy the shade has been broken.

"I'll be more careful in the future," Uesugi Genshin assured him, though the conversation just now was nothing short of Yukinoshita expressing her slight dissatisfaction with him.

"Let's not talk about that now," Yukino Yukinoshita cleverly changed the subject. "Let's call everyone to have breakfast."

"I'll go call them." Hayasaka Ai pulled the hand off her waist and walked quickly outside as if fleeing the scene.

His steps were somewhat hurried, which was related to what had just happened.

During the intimate moment between him and Accountant Yukinoshita, she wondered what she really meant to him.

A secret lover?

They didn't even get into bed.

They even say they are each other's source of comfort?

Kissing can be considered a slightly transgressive act, but that's somewhat acceptable.

Or is it just someone you're flirting with?

It wouldn't be surprising if it eventually turned into a one-night stand.

But she has now completely forgotten about these thoughts.

"What do you mean by 'get along well'?" Hayasaka Ai muttered to herself, as if she really wanted to see her in a panic.

She walked to the door, took a deep breath, hid her complex emotions, and pushed open the bedroom door.

"Breakfast is ready," Hayasaka Ai said calmly to the people in the room.

"Okay~" Honami Ichinose was folding the quilt; she had already gotten up.

Like her was Horikita Suzune, who was sitting on the bed with a hairband in her mouth, tying her hair up. Her blankets were already folded.

There were others who hadn't gotten up yet, but Kamuro Masumi had already opened her eyes, though there was still some confusion in them.

Upon hearing Hayasaka's words, she sat up in bed and ran her fingers through the back of her hair.

This is a situation where you're prepared to get up at 8 o'clock, because your boss also said it's 8 o'clock, but the people around you still get up early, making you question your life.

She glanced at her watch; 7:20. "..."

Eriri was the only one who hadn't gotten up or was even asleep; she lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep again.

Despite the shocking events, I didn't get a good night's rest and finally managed to fall asleep again.

Unfortunately, breakfast was ready, but she was also awakened by the sound.

"What?" she asked, her eyes glazed as she lifted her face from the bed.

"Breakfast," Horikita Suzune said briefly as she turned around, her hair tied back in a side bun.

"Ugh, I don't want to eat dinner." It took her a long time to fall asleep.

“Miss Eriri, you can’t skip breakfast. Do you not have an appetite?” Ichinose Honami walked over and sat down on the bed, asking gently.

"I want to sleep," Eriri mumbled, burying her head in the blankets.

"Although I don't want to wake you up, we'll be leaving in less than half an hour after we finish eating. You won't be able to sleep in the car anyway, so let's save this sleepiness for when we get to our destination."

Hayasaka Ai wanted to be understanding, but the circumstances didn't allow it.

It's not like the old days when students could sleep until noon without going to school or eating breakfast.

She used this analogy because ever since she became Kaguya's attendant, she has worked year-round without a break, and there is absolutely no option for her to sleep until noon.

It wasn't until recently that she truly experienced the joy of sleeping in late; it really is more comfortable to be an ordinary high school student.

"Hmm." After being confronted, Eriri was caught in a dilemma, but in the end she obediently got up.

The group entered the living room, where a wide array of breakfast items were laid out on the dining table. The breakfast looked plentiful and delicious, even the simplest fried eggs.

“Sit down,” Uesugi Genshin said, pulling out a chair for the others.

After they were all seated, they said together, "Let's eat."

After finishing their meal, they immediately discussed whether or not to set off right away; the discussion didn't last very long.

"I'll feel more at ease if I go back sooner," Uesugi Genshin thought.

So Horikita Suzune and Ichinose Honami quickly washed the dishes and put them away.

Even if I never come back, I hope it will remain tidy.

This also shows that they are all very responsible girls and know how to tidy up properly.

There's no need to tidy up anything else, except for putting away the bedding.

Close the doors and windows and turn off the power.

Yukino Yukinoshita stood in the entryway, looking at the apartment where she had lived for quite some time, before finally turning away.

I turned the lock twice to lock it completely, and put the key away just like when I first arrived.

"You can come back again later and take all your clothes back with you," Uesugi Genshin said to Yukinoshita while waiting for the elevator.

“If there’s a chance.” Yukino Yukinoshita had no objections.

"That kimono is quite nice," Uesugi Genshin said with a wicked grin, his words carrying a pointed meaning.

“I think so too,” Honami Ichinose chimed in from behind. “That kimono suits Yukinoshita very well; she looks beautiful in it.”

"Thank you," Yukino Yukinoshita replied shyly, tugging at her hair, because what he said wasn't entirely the same as what Ichinose said!

The group went down to the first floor, and Yukino Yukinoshita opened the door to the apartment building, revealing that it was completely daylight outside.

However, the light was not very bright, and the sun could not be seen in the sky above.

If it weren't for the very white clouds, Uesugi Genshin would have thought it was about to rain again.

After getting into the car, he started it, stepped on the gas, and drove towards Zongwu Highway, where only this last bit of distance remained.

It's not short; it usually takes more than ten minutes to drive there. Otherwise, Yukino wouldn't take the family car to school. It's not a distance that she could walk to school.

However, when he floored the accelerator, he sped off at a speed that was not appropriate for the city, which quickly brought them to the edge of the Soubu High School.

"It's just ahead, we've arrived."

Hearing Yukinoshita's words, Eriri breathed a sigh of relief. The situation of being crowded in the back seat had only lasted for a short while, and she was truly saved.
