Chapter 43: Short Story 3 : Horikita Suzune SS - A Dream for the Future?
"Hey, do you sotis feel that you are indifferent to no matter what the world becos?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this? Too bad, I've never been pessimistic about my own life."
"I'm not saying about being pessimistic about one's life... it looks like this has nothing to do with Horikita."
Horikita blatantly adopted a disgusted, or probably an annoyed look, and sighed deeply.
"So, what are you trying to say?"
"I was thinking, what's the aning of people trying so hard in a ritocracy world?"
"Of course that's for oneself, are you stupid?"
"Going as far as to call
stupid... so specifically, what's this "for oneself" referring to?"
"Isn't this precisely promoting one's inner qualities, and going for jobs that possess a high status in the society?"
Horikita answered this as if it were natural. Of course, it's not like I can't understand her.
The main reason about studying high school, university, or graduate school is to find a better job in the future.
Of course, the dreams one hasn't stopped pursuing since childhood are also included among these.
However, those are a small minority, and perhaps there are also ambitious goals that can't be achieved by just trying hard.
"Then Horikita, what do you want to be in the future?"
"I haven't decided it yet, because I am hiding an infinite variety of possibilities."
I don't think there are anyone who can flatter themselves as impressively as her.
Not letting anyone think that was just a speech to conceal the fact she hasn't considered it yet, perhaps it could also be considered one of her strong points.
"What do you want to do in the future... I'm certain that you have not though about it."
"Don't assert for . Maybe I unexpectedly have a specific goal?"
"...You're right. Although the odds are quite low, I'll ask you for the ti being. What do you plan to do in the future? Do you have a planning?"
"I want to beco the Pri Minister."
"... I was stupid for asking you."
Horikita made a pose as if she was supporting her forehead, and turned her body around.
"Hey, listen to . I was joking about becoming the Pri Minister. What I want to beco is that, sothing like a civil servant."
"For soone who wants to avoid troubleso things like you, this is a stable path... but can you beco one?"
With this statent, she was clearly lanting about my lack of ability.
"This civil servant thing, it's sothing that you can accidentally beco one if you want to beco one."
"Soone who thinks like this will certainly not be able to beco one. I advise you to be a convenience store clerk the rest of your life."
"You are being rude towards all the shop clerks who work at the convenience stores around the country."
"Of course, I will respect those workers who have conviction. It's simply that I think you are self-degenerating yourself. You'll probably beco a lazy salesclerk. I believe this is beyond redemption."
"Suddenly I feel like I want to cry."
"If you really have a goal you want to pursue, then you need to take advantage of the ti when you are still a student to fully stride forward. Because even if you regret it later, you can't reverse ti.
Finally, what will appear in front of your eyes will be the unchangeable reality."
"...I will rember that."
Even though we are clearly at the sa age, I can't help but to think that I'm being admonished by a teacher.
