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

"Cough cough cough..." Faced with his unintentional remark, Feng Bin and Xiang choked.

"Really." Mai glared at him, then stomped on his foot under the table.

"Well......"

"Pretending." He clearly didn't use any force.

"It must be because you stepped in the wrong place," Shiyu said with a knowing, mischievous grin.

"Cough... ooh ooh." As expected, Toyohama Kazuka choked again.

"Ha..." Mai ignored it this time and turned to call out to the bathroom, "Uzuki, come and eat quickly."

"Okay~" The sound of running water in the bathroom also disappeared.

"I'm going back now." Uesugi Genshin put his chopsticks on the empty plate, stood up, and stretched.

"I need to go back first, and also ask my family's patient if they eat breakfast." After thinking for a moment, Shiyu also stood up.

If we're going to eat, we'll bring some food from here. I think it's Kato's turn to be on duty this morning, so he has to leave for the cafeteria very early and probably won't have much time to prepare.

"See you later," Mai said, looking at Uesugi Genshin.

She will also go to the dojo later. Although she has already left the club, she cannot stop her morning training.

Never give up on strengthening yourself.

"See you later."

Uesugi Genshin and Utaha went out. One took out a key to open the door opposite, and the other took out a key to open the door next door.

However, Shiyu skipped over and tiptoed over, giving a "chirp".

Then he gave a mature smile and said, "Let's do our best today."

"Ah!" My girlfriend's encouragement this morning instantly filled me with energy.

When he returned to the apartment, he saw Hayasaka and Kamuro eating bread with jam.

"So you're back." Hayasaka Ai glanced at him, then continued to focus on the bread in her hand.

"Let me see if you need me to make breakfast for you too. It seems like you don't need to." Uesugi Genshin walked to the refrigerator, opened it, and saw the bread that Yumiko, Yui, and Kato had brought over last night. This was a convenience for those in the cooking club.

He took out a glass of juice from the refrigerator, poured himself a glass, and then asked the two people sitting on the island counter, "Would you like some?"

"I'll just have some water," Hayasaka Ai said, reaching for her water glass.

“Me too.” Masumi Kamuro also refused.

Walking to the kitchen opposite the two of them, Uesugi Genshin leaned against the island counter, drinking juice as he said, "After finishing the morning classes at the dojo, I need to go to the Yukinoshita family's place."

"What's the situation over there?" Kamuro Masumi asked, unaware of the situation on this side.

"The Yukinoshita family is a powerful clan in the area. After the zombies appeared, they used their own construction company's employees and their father's position as a prefectural councilor to establish a survivor base called the Chiba Self-Rescue Committee."

"I see," Kamuro Masumi said with a sigh, nodding.

"So, do you want to come along?"

"Yes!" She made her decision without much thought.

"I need to ask Yang Nai first." Uesugi Genshin wasn't sure if she could actually come along, so he said so in advance.

After all, this is a trip to Yukino and Haruno's house, mainly Haruno's. If she thinks it's fine for just the three of them to go, then Kamuro can't come along.

"So it wasn't you who decided," Masumi Kamuro replied calmly.

“Of course, I also have to consider other people’s feelings; I can’t just make decisions unilaterally,” Uesugi Genshin said, shaking his head.

What is a one-man show?

"It means being a firm and unwavering leader."

"Oh." Masumi Kamuro understood.

“Let’s finish eating first, then I’ll take you to the dojo.” Uesugi Genshin thought for a moment, “We also need to bring Suzune along, I wonder if Ichinose wants to go.”

"...Rinne?" Hayasaka Ai was somewhat speechless. It hadn't been that long, and she was already calling him by his name.

"What's wrong? Do you want me to call you Ai-chan? Ai-chan?" Uesugi Genshin turned his head and said with a smile.

"No, thank you." Hayasaka Ai shuddered. Even Kaguya-sama called her Hayasaka, so she couldn't quite accept the term "Ai-chan."

After they finished eating, they went to the temple together.

He then went to call Horikita Suzune and Ichinose Honami, only to find that the two had already been visited by Yukinoshita.

They are currently having breakfast at Yukino's place.

Well, if you can have one group, there's no need to have two.

"Don't you have to go to work, Yukinoshita-san?" Honami Ichinose asked Yukinoshita-yukino as they walked through the campus.

"I've already asked Isshiki for help. She's in charge of student council administration and will help organize the student council's documents. Some of the tasks were arranged yesterday, and today is just a matter of following along. Approvals and such are for this afternoon."

"That's good." Honami Ichinose patted her chest and said, it would be troublesome if Yukinoshita's work was delayed because of them.

“We already know where the dojo is,” Horikita Suzune said, peeking out from the other side of Ichinose.

“Actually, I also have to attend the dojo’s morning classes.” Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her and smiled.

"Miss Yukinoshita?!" Honami Ichinose covered her mouth. Although she had seen her fighting, she thought that since Yukinoshita was an accountant and controlled an important department, there was no need for her to increase her fighting power.

"Because only you can protect yourself in time," Yukino Yukinoshita said with a smile. "We've arrived."

When Ichinose Honami entered, she found that there were quite a few people inside, and only two boys were closest to the corridor and the back of the room. The rest of the people were sitting neatly on both sides, behind and to the sides of the two boys.

In the center of the dojo sat Uesugi-kun, with Hayasaka, Kamuro, and Sakurajima-san sitting behind him, all in formal positions.

On the inner wall of the dojo hung calligraphy scrolls, which made her gaze intently at them.

The left side is inscribed with "Vaisravana" and the right side with "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain".

Above it hung a sign that read "One Million Hearts United".

The calligraphy is beautiful, but what is the meaning behind hanging it?

"Ms. Ichinose, please sit here." Since it was just a visit, Yukino Yukinoshita pulled the only unrelated person to sit at the entrance of the dojo.

She led Horikita through the side of the dojo and walked behind Uesugi Genshin.

Hayasaka Aimi Yukinoshita walked over, gave up her seat, and sat down next to Yukinoshita.

"Where's your sister?" Uesugi Genshin asked in a low voice after Yukino sat down beside him.

"They should be awake by now," Yukino Yukinoshita leaned closer, covering her mouth and speaking in a low voice.

"......" You just got up?!

Yukino immediately brushed it off with an indifferent look, as if she could read minds.

If I hadn't gone to bed early, the question wouldn't be whether to get up or not, but whether to sleep until noon.

"..." Uesugi Genshin sat back down, looking down as he thought. In fact, this also revealed one of Haruno's attitudes.

Just like him, Yukinoshita, and Hachiman, Soubu High School is their own business, so there's no such thing as sleeping in a day and giving themselves a day off.

But given how Yang Nai is now, is she... still somewhat ambiguous?

Putting aside his thoughts, Uesugi Genshin glanced at the time and said to everyone, "Now that everyone is here, let's begin."

"Yes! Minister!"

To Ichinose Honami's utter surprise, the main content of the executive department's morning session was actually a sparring match, and it was between Uesugi-kun and everyone in the department.

"Next!" Uesugi Genshin kicked the fallen team member away, who slid a short distance to the side on the floor.

Yes! Please advise!

......

"Ugh..." Another person who came on stage also fell down three times.

Honami Ichinose overheard the two people sitting at the back talking.

"Ouch, that looks painful." "As expected, the minister is as strong as ever."

Indeed, Honami Ichinose also agreed. Uesugi-kun easily defeated his own club's challengers one after another, his movements were crisp and beautiful, just like in the movies.

Moreover, the way he fought back and forth with some of them was very entertaining to watch.

"Your movements are slower than last time, what's wrong? Next!"

Immediately, she saw Horikita step forward, wearing kendo protective gear and a mask, looking no different from the people who had been beaten earlier.

Then Horikita attacked, but his attack was blocked. While blocking, he was also kicked and staggered backward.

Horikita immediately began circling around Uesugi-kun, searching for an opening, and was about to launch another attack.

Several attacks failed to achieve their intended effect, and he was instead successfully knocked down three times, forcing him to retreat.

Behind the mask, Horikita Suzune bit her lip tightly, the protective gear successfully concealing her unwilling expression.

The gap was unexpectedly large, and the attack was completely ineffective. The opponent simply made a mid-section stance with one hand, and it was like encountering a hedgehog.

She felt a pang of disappointment, yet a burning desire to win surged within her.

Next time! Next time! I'll definitely be even stronger!

Chapter 308: Teasing the Younger Sister and Older Sister

Especially seeing the activity of Hayasaka, Yukinoshita, and others, she could at least hold out for more than ten rounds.

Hayasaka Ai fought from beginning to end, maintaining an offensive rhythm throughout. Yukino Yukinoshita also fought back and forth at the beginning, but later seemed to gradually run out of energy, and her movements became chaotic.

Besides, the guy named Hayama and the guy named Hikigaya both performed better than her, which made Horikita Suzune feel an indescribable sense of frustration.

"Is there anyone else?" Uesugi Genshin looked around, placed his wooden sword on his shoulder, and after a few seconds there was still no response. He nodded to Hayama and Hachiman, "Then we'll call it a day. I'll go with you this afternoon if I have time."

“Hey~” “The minister will definitely make it in time.” “Yeah, yeah.”

Hearing the noise around him, Uesugi Genshin sat back in his seat, leaning against the armrest, and said, "I'll try my best. Besides, you guys did a great job when I wasn't around."

Sometimes Yang would personally lead and command two small teams.

“But we’ll feel much more at ease with the minister here.” “It feels completely different, doesn’t it?” “Even Haruno-san can’t compare to the minister.”

"Understood." Uesugi Genshin replied indifferently, then gestured with his hand to drive him away.

In the end, only Hachiman, Yukino, Mai, Hayasaka, Kamuro, Horikita and Ichinose were left in the dojo.

"Are there really this many people?" Uesugi Genshin asked, looking at the remaining people in the dojo.

"There's no extra training today?" Hachiman then asked.

"I have something to do this morning."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Mai also silently got up, feeling there was nothing more to do staying. "I'm leaving now."

"Extra training?" Horikita Suzune blinked and asked, puzzled.

"It means exactly what it says. Anyone who feels they haven't been beaten enough can apply to be beaten a few more times," Uesugi Genshin explained, turning his head to smile at Mai.

It's similar to feeling that the homework assigned after class isn't enough and wanting to do more.

Normally, if you listen attentively in class and complete your homework properly, you wouldn't want to do more problems, right?

Just like not missing the daily morning classes and going out to fight zombies, most members of the Executive Department are not very enthusiastic about extra training.

“Then I’ll join this extra training too,” Horikita Suzune said, raising her head.

“Okay.” Uesugi Genshin almost forgot that this person was an excellent student with a very strong sense of self-esteem.

Then he looked at Ichinose and asked, "Ichinose-kun, what do you think?"

This was asking for her thoughts, Ichinose Honami laughed and said, "What a feast for the eyes! So this is what Sobu High School is like."

"What is an Advanced Nurturing High School like?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked curiously.

“Hmm—” Ichinose Honami thought for a moment, “Actually, everyone just went out directly, there was no such thing as organized training.”

“It all depends on the style of the team leader,” Horikita Suzune added, as she was well aware of it. “My brother would require the third-year students who were with him to train privately, while other teams were completely different.”

“Because Advanced Nurturing High School doesn’t have anyone like Uesugi-kun at all.” Ichinose Honami nodded in agreement, as if she understood the sentiment.
