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

With a listless expression, he propped his cheek with one hand, his elbow pressing down on the paper, while his other hand held a pen and continued writing something. The words on the paper remained elegant and delicate.

Speaking of Shiina Hiyori, her handwriting is just as beautiful, which is one of the reasons why Kasumigaoka kept her behind to handle paperwork: her handwriting is so beautiful that it is pleasing to the eye, and it is not just out of consideration for her delicate physical condition as a girl. Kasumigaoka Utaha does not discriminate in this regard; she is strict and impartial.

"Are you talking about Sakura-san?" Shiina Hiyori thought for a moment. "I took her to the rehearsal room this morning, and Hirokawa-san said it was fine."

"Go back tonight and ask her if she can go on stage tomorrow. Aren't you two living in the same apartment?" Kasumigaoka Utaha said, pointing at Shiina with the end of her pen.

"Huh? Isn't this a bit too hasty?" Shiina Hiyori's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's just a little warm-up, to let everyone get to know this kid as a special guest. It only takes one song. But Sakura Airi does have outstanding idol talent."

Seeing Sakura's adorable twin-tailed pose after taking off her glasses, Kasumigaoka Utaha wouldn't doubt Sakura's natural physical advantages.

“I think we should also take Hirokawa’s opinion into account in this regard,” Shiina Hiyori suggested.

“Indeed, Uzuki is a professional in the idol field.” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. “I’ll ask her about it later.”

The room suddenly fell silent, with only the scratching sound of pen nibs on paper.

"Then I'll go to the student council first," Shiina Hiyori said softly, clutching a pile of papers to her chest.

She made a "go" gesture at Kasumigaoka, gently opened the door, and then... went next door.

"Come in." After knocking, the voice of Yukinoshita, the accountant, came from inside the student council room.

"Good afternoon, I'm here to deliver documents to the publicity department." Shiina Hiyori walked in, explained her purpose, and closed the door behind her.

Sitting at the table, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Hiyori Shiina and said, "Please sit down."

"Okay." Shiina Hiyori sat obediently on the side of the table and looked around. "I don't see Isshiki Shobu."

"As for Isshiki, she is currently inspecting the second phase of the project."

The so-called second phase of the project involves further reinforcing the boundary wall with materials such as sandbags, and building some simple watchtowers so that the garrison personnel can see what is happening outside the wall.

"I see." As a member of the publicity department, Shiina Hiyori wasn't very familiar with the organization department, even though her superior was Kasumigaoka Secretary, who held both the publicity and organization departments.

"Has the publicity department clearly communicated the personnel changes in several departments?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked about some trivial matters.

Although the new personnel appointments were posted on the bulletin board this morning, in order to avoid some people being unaware, the information also needs to be communicated to the ministers of all departments.

Zongwu High School rarely holds a school-wide meeting of department heads, because they can't be relied upon for important matters, and there's no need to discuss minor issues.

Just like when two positions in the student council are changed, there's no need to ask for their opinions; you just need to explain why you're doing it this way.

The secretary should have resigned long ago; no one disagrees on that point. As the person with the most titles in the entire Soubu High School, Hachiman Hikigaya has a very high profile.

As for the head of the disciplinary committee, it was due to the addition of students from outside the area, which can be considered an exchange of benefits.

The decision not to hold meetings is also largely due to the fact that both Yukino Yukinoshita and a certain vice president deeply abhor meeting culture, believing it to be inefficient.

"Yes, everyone knows." Hiyori Shiina was aware of the situation within the club.

"And..." Yukino Yukinoshita was about to ask another question.

The door to the student council room suddenly opened. "Hey there~, is Xiaoxue busy?"

"Yuigahama-san...please come in first." Yukino Yukinoshita sighed and said.

Despite being interrupted at work, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't blame anyone; those who know her well would feel that her tone was somewhat indulgent.

In fact, she did say something like "I'm very busy" the first time, but seeing Yuihama's guilty expression, she couldn't bring herself to say it again.

"I have work to do this time." Yui Yuigahama made it clear in advance that she was not here to bother anyone. She usually came over when it was almost lunchtime, so they could eat together. Also, since she had a job in the cooking department, she only came over to play during her days off.

"What is it?" Yukino Yukinoshita got up and walked to the table next to her to start making tea.

"..." Shiina Hiyori watched Yukinoshita's actions and thought that she should have her own. Are there any disposable cups here?

"My minister and the minister of agriculture got into an argument," Yui Yuigahama said apologetically, stroking her dumpling. "It's about growing vegetables."

Because the only area suitable for planting is the land in Inage Beach Park, and the area is small, careful planning is needed.

The Minister of Cuisine and the Minister of Agriculture got into a fight over whether to prioritize nutrition and diversity or yield and simplification.

The head of the culinary department believes that more cabbage and radishes should be added to enrich the dishes, and that we shouldn't just eat canned food. However, even canned food doesn't have everything, and there are very few canned vegetables.

Incidentally, because fishing is now allowed, the price of canned livestock has risen sharply, while seafood has become unpopular. Of course, canned fruit is the most expensive type of canned food.

The Minister of Agriculture felt that each crop required professional care, so it would be easier to grow only one or two types, since they were not professional farmers and were learning as they went along.

“…Phew.” Yukino Yukinoshita sighed helplessly after hearing this. She turned around and said, “Have the Minister of Agriculture designate a small area to plant more fast-maturing vegetables that aren’t picky about soil. Let’s try it out first, as an experiment. We can’t wait until next year to try it. Yuihama, when you go back, tell your minister that it’s better to just expand the variety of dishes. If the yield isn’t high enough, it will only be able to be made into high-end set meals. Tell her to give up her idea for now.”

"oh, I understand now."

Yui Yuigahama leaned forward as if emphasizing her ample bosom, seemingly indicating that she truly understood.

Chapter 340: Staying Overnight

The moment the door opened, a gust of wind blew in my face, and I could almost hear the wind whistling in my ears.

Then, the skirt on one side of my line of sight began to flutter back and forth.

"Ugh, this wind is so annoying..."

The girl's pleated skirt was raised to a dangerous angle, but Uesugi Genshin, who entered the room, stared intently at the skirt's owner.

Fair and voluptuous thighs and shapely, softly shaped calves—this is the charm of JK uniforms, radiating youthful vitality.

"cough."

Yukino's soft cough brought him back to his senses. Uesugi Genshin had subconsciously intended to tilt his head down.

There's a saying that goes like this: "Beneath a skirt fluttering in the wind lies a romantic secret."

"Hey."

Yui stood in front of the window and slammed the window shut with a loud click.

When she turned around and saw the person standing at the door, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

She had a sweet smile on her cheeks and an innocent light in her eyes; she was incredibly cute.

"Yui..." Uesugi Genshin greeted her with a smile.

"Welcome back... Wow!" Yui was about to speak when she walked towards him.

Then Uesugi Genshin saw her trip over her own feet and fall forward.

"Hey, hey!" Seeing this, he rushed over and hugged her tightly.

Yui's head bumped directly into his stomach, and in her panic, she managed to wrap her arms around his waist. Fortunately, she didn't actually fall to the ground, otherwise her face and chest would probably have been in a lot of pain.

"Th-thank you... Ah, you scared me." After thanking her, Yui breathed a sigh of relief, her heart pounding wildly.

The moist breath made Uesugi Genshin's neck itch a little, and the soft body of the girl pressed against him sent that itch deep into his heart.

"You're being too reckless." With his left arm around her back, Uesugi Genshin stroked her bun with his right hand and joked.

“Hey hey hey…”

Seeing how happy she was, perhaps because she found the caress very comfortable, Uesugi Genshin finally felt relieved.

At that moment, the window shook violently, initially with a clanging sound.

“The wind has gotten stronger—” Yukino remarked casually.

“Yes.” After releasing Yui, Uesugi Genshin walked to the left side of the desk and sat down.

"Is a typhoon coming?" Yui pulled up a chair and sat down opposite them, guessing as she spoke.

"It shouldn't be that early, but the rainy season starts around June," Uesugi Genshin said, picking up the tea Yukino handed him and taking a sip.

For a moment, only the rattling and vibrating sound of the windows echoed in the student council room.

"Here, these are today's reports." Yukino pushed a stack of papers onto the table.

"Ah—, I suddenly realize how hard it is to be the vice president."

He had just come back from outside and hadn't even had a meal before he had to go back to work.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yukino gently touched his tousled hair, pulled her chair closer, and picked up her pen to help him review the main points of the documents.

"It should be done in half an hour, then let's go eat together." After confirming their relationship, Yukino herself didn't mind making more intimate gestures.

"We" refers to her, Genshin, and Yuihama.

Yui rested her chin on her hand and watched the two of them work. She felt much more at ease and thought that this kind of time was not bad.

"This is a statistic of supplies consumed by the logistics department, including..."

"The Security Department has submitted a commendation application. Okumura, Kitajima, and Kuramoto performed exceptionally well during night patrols..."

"Shiromai-senpai rearranged the class schedule, but the new Chabashira-sensei originally taught Japanese history..."

This raises a question: Hiratsuka-sensei teaches Japanese, and both of them are humanities students.

Is the faculty for humanities at Zongwu High School a bit too strong? In other words, is the pressure on science students a bit too great?

"As for Chabashira-sensei, he should be able to teach science too, right...?" Uesugi Genshin said this with a little bit of uncertainty, and to be honest, he didn't know either.

Those who can teach Mandarin can also teach a little Japanese history, and vice versa. However, the arts and sciences are not so compatible, and they don't need to teach Japanese history in great detail.

"I'll ask Ms. Chazhu later to see if she can teach geography and world history together. Also, now that the Ministry of Education is on the right track, I think we should assign more homework. Class time is already short, and it would be a waste of effort if the children don't remember anything."

Yukino quickly wrote down her feedback on the paper as he instructed.

"Who will tutor you in your studies in the US?" she asked casually.

"..."

"Ha... I understand." Yukino shook her head as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

"Why don't you bring it to me tonight, and I'll check her homework?" Uesugi Genshin said in a low voice.

"Forget it, I'll do it."

The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. In the end, it was decided that the "mother" would tutor the child.

Then proceed to the next file.

I finally finished reading all the documents before it got dark. Although I only read the summaries and abstracts, I still got a general understanding of what happened at school today.

"Hmm—, let's go eat." Uesugi Genshin slowly stretched and loosened his limbs before standing up and suggesting.

"Okay~" "Mmm."

"Speaking of which, where is Ms. Haruno?" Yui asked curiously on the way. "I don't think I've seen her today."

“Yang said yesterday, no, it should be early this morning, that he wanted to take the day off.”

Yesterday, no, today I did get back quite late, arriving in Chiba at 2 a.m. I basically slept until noon to get a full eight hours of sleep.

"Yes, after my sister finished breakfast this morning, she said before going back to her room that she was going to sleep all day today."

Yukino also talked about what happened this morning. To be honest, she felt that her sister had become much lazier since she came here. After all, Genshin and her sister came back together, but her sister took the day off to sleep.

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

"Eri Sawamura, get back to work!" Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had just returned to the apartment with her husband whom she had bumped into at the cafeteria, looked at Eriri, who was curled up on the sofa playing games, and said with a mix of exasperation and amusement.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha! Don't call me by my full name. And I don't know what I'm supposed to do." Eriri's eyes never left the screen as she called out to the person beside her, "Kato, over there, quick, over there."

They are playing a two-player game on PlayStation.

"Have you had dinner?" Uesugi Genshin asked Eriri after taking off his shoes in the entryway.

"What, you're here too?" Eriri clicked her tongue, but briefly looked away from the screen. "Kato brought me lunch."

"You'll become a cripple sooner or later if you keep going like this," Uesugi Genshin sighed helplessly.

"Whose fault is this? Didn't you say you wanted me to continue drawing manga here? Where's your outline?" Eriri put down the controller, pointed at Uesugi Genshin, and scolded, revealing her fangs.

"I'll give it to you in a couple of days." Sitting to the side of the coffee table, Uesugi Genshin rolled his eyes at Eriri.

"Ah, I lost," Kato Megumi said lightly.

"Ah!" Eriri hurriedly turned her head to look at the screen because she had put down the controller, and the game was over.

"Here, juice." Shiyu, who came out of the kitchen, handed drinks to Uesugi Genshin and the other two.

He turned to look at Shiyu, "I think your idea of ​​starting a newspaper is feasible. We can serialize Eriri's manga in the back of the newspaper."

Besides providing a source of information, newspapers can also enrich people's intellectual lives.

For example, publishing updates on the Executive Department's operations can let everyone know about the department's contributions, instead of foolishly taking everything for granted.
