Chapter 270 - Post-graduation Plan Survey
Chapter 270 - Post-graduation Plan Survey
After he returned to his class, Shishio continued with his class, but then he looked at Nanami and thought that he needed to talk with her sooner or later so after the school ended, he decided to tell her that he wanted to hire her, but before the class ended, Koharu, his homeroom teacher, had something to announce first.
"On Friday, the school will give you a post-graduation plan survey."
Hearing Koharu's words, some students' expressions didn't change, but some of them started to change. After all, even though Suimei might be one of the prestigious schools with a lot of students entering the top 10 universities in Japan, and most of them would enter top 30 universities, there were also some students who became black sheep who weren't so lucky or just didn't want to improve.
Shishio wouldn't say who these black sheep were since everything was their choice.
High school was only three years, and whether they would play around or use this chance to study hard so they could get their future, it was all their choice.
"I know that you might be too early for you since it has only been a few weeks since you have become a high school student, but I think that you also need to prepare this early and talk about this matter to your parents if you're unsure since we're talking about your future. You can also consult me about your future since I'm always welcome, that's all." Koharu didn't say much on the announcement, and after saying some encouragement to everyone, she stopped the class and told everyone that they could go home.
Shishio then looked at Nanami, who prepared to return, and asked, "Nanami, are you going on a part-time job?"
"Yes." Nanami looked at Shishio and wondered how many times that their conversation would stop so suddenly. She wanted to talk with him, but her part-time job was about to start soon. "Sorry, Shishio-kun, I can't talk with you for too long." She also wanted to talk with him, but she needed money to take care of her life in Tokyo.
"When does your part-time job end?" Shishio asked.
Nanami thought for a moment and said, "It should end at 7.30 in the evening."
Shishio nodded since he knew that the school had a rule that a student was limited to work for five hours a day and three times a week, but he knew that this girl might have broken the rule and worked more than the limit. "Then, when you finish your part-time job, I'll visit you. Let me know where you work."
"Eh?" Nanami was dumbfounded.
"Is that not okay?" Shishio asked.
"No, no, it's alright, but..." Nanami was quite unsure whether it was really alright to meet Shishio at night, but she didn't really mind it.
"It feels quite uncomfortable to stop our conversation just like this, and I think we have a lot of things to talk about," Shishio said as he stared at Nanami.
Nanami also looked straight into Shishio's eyes and couldn't help but blush. She then nodded shyly and said, "Then... then after I have finished my job, let's talk again." She was quite shy and also had little expectation about what they were about to talk about later.
Then they talked for a moment, and Nanami told Shishio where she worked before she hurriedly went to her part-time job since it would start soon.
Looking at Nanami's ponytail dangling right and left, Shishio somehow really wanted to cheer this girl up.
"Falling in love?"
Shishio then looked at Nana, who was staring at him. He then nodded and said, "I fell in love with the girl right in front of me now. What should I do?"
Nana blushed and said, "How about you confess to her now?"
Shishio showed an unsure expression and asked, "If... If I confess to her, will she accept my feeling?"
"You won't know until you try, right?" Nana quickly encouraged Shishio with a smile.
"Then..." Shishio took a deep breath, and he stared at Nana. "I love you, Nana. Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Um." Nana nodded without hesitation and hugged Shishio without hesitation. "I love you too, Shishio!"
Shishio patted Nana's back, feeling her big breasts on his chest, which made him sigh, and wondered how it felt to rub his face on those huge things. However, he awoke when he saw Mea and Maiko, who stared at both of them blankly. He coughed and said, "Don't jump so suddenly. What if you fell?"
"Um." Nana nodded. "Thank you for your help, Shishio-kun."
"..." Mea and Maiko.
"Can you not flirt here?" Maiko complained.
"Yeah, do you want to torture us every day?!" Mea snorted.
Even though Mea and Maiko might only have an interest in the young boy, they had to admit that they were so envious of the relationship between Shishio and Nana.
Shishio and Nana could only awkwardly laugh, but then Nana asked, "Shishio, have you thought about your post-graduation plan survey?"
Hearing Nana's question, Mea and Maiko also looked at Shishio curiously.
Shishio also nodded and said, "I have thought of it."
"Oh? Which university are you going to? Tokyo University?" Mea asked.
After all, the three of them knew that Shishio was the smartest in the first grade, and it wouldn't be surprising for him to enter the best university in Japan.
As for why they thought that Shishio would enter the university rather than work, it was because Suimei was an exam-oriented school, and all the students would enter the university.
Only some of them would decide to work. Still, it was quite rare since the prospect of working directly after a student graduating from a high school wasn't good and their future would be limited, which was why everyone on the Suimei would continue to study at the university.
"No, I'll enter Kyoto University," Shishio said as he shook his head.
"Kyoto University!" 3x
If many people said that Tokyo University was the best university in Japan, then Kyoto University was the second-best university in Japan, but of course, some of them couldn't accept it and think of Kyoto University as the best.
"Why?" Maiko frowned when she thought that she would part from Shishio in the future.
"I'm from Kyoto." Shishio knew that even though there might not seem discrimination, there was an intense conflict between Kasai and Kanto. His family originated from Kyoto, and he knew that he didn't need to enter Kyoto University, but if he thought about his future, the best choice was to enter Kyoto University, especially when he wanted to become a prime minister.
As for his business, Shishio felt that it didn't matter whether he did it in Kyoto or Tokyo since it was all the same. He could change the headquarters of his company to Kyoto, but he also had to admit that Tokyo was more convenient for him.
"My family is from Kyoto, and they have a considerable influence there. I want to enter politics, so I'll have to go there," Shishio said calmly, lying to them without changing his face.
"Huh? You want to enter politics?" 2x
Mea and Maiko were dumbfounded, but then they nodded at the same time. "You have a good bullshitting ability. I think it is good for you to enter politics."
"....." Shishio.
"Then I'll enter Kyoto University too," Nana said without hesitation.
Shishio raised his eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yeah." Nana nodded. "It is a good university, and I also want to live in Kyoto too." She was also curious about where Shishio was living and thought that it might be good to enter Kyoto University in the future. As for the faculty, frankly, she didn't care much, but she thought to enter a science faculty, and she knew that Kyoto University had a good science faculty.
However, Nana's answer caused both Mea and Maiko to feel a bit sad and knew that they would separate after high school, but that was what life was, right?
When there is a meeting, there is also a parting.
It is inevitable, but even if they part, it doesn't mean that their bonds will break, right?
"Are you sure that you'll go to Kyoto University, Shishio-kun?" Mea asked with a sad expression.
"Do you want me to enter Tokyo University?" Shishio asked.
"Yes!" 2x
Mea and Maiko nodded without hesitation.
As for Nana, she just smiled since it didn't really matter whether she entered Kyoto University or Tokyo University.
Shishio thought for a moment about his future plan if he entered Tokyo University.
There were a lot of reasons why Shishio decided to enter Kyoto University, but the most important point was that Kyoto was his family's turf. His family originated from Kyoto, so he knew that his development would be smooth if he stayed there.
However, Shishio felt that it wouldn't be bad to create new turf in the future.
Shishio knew that his family's influence wasn't that good in Tokyo since they focussed on the Kansai area.
'Hmm...'
Shishio rubbed his chin and thought that he needed to think about this thoroughly.
Looking at Shishio, who was in deep thought, Nana, Mea, and Maiko didn't disturb him, but they smiled inwardly, thinking they could change his decision, which made them happy!
"Oga-kun, let's go to the club!" Usa called Shishio and also Nana, Mea, and Maiko to go to the club.
Shishio's thought was broken, but he nodded and said, "Let's go to the club first. We can continue to talk there."
Hearing Shishio's words, they nodded and walked toward their clubroom.
As for what they were talking about during the trip, neither talked about the post-graduation plan survey nor the Monthly Exam since it was practically a troublesome thing.
Usa also wanted to forget about the post-graduation plan survey and had fun at the club, spending his time with Ritsu happily, but...
---
"You all will have a Monthly Exam soon, so we should stop our activity until we meet again after Golden Week," Kiriya said without hesitation.
"...."
Usa suddenly felt that he was pushed to the cliff, falling, unable to do anything. He was happy to join the literature club because he could see Ritsu, but if there wasn't any club activity, what should he do to meet with Ritsu?
However, except for Usa, no one had too much reaction since they had expected this since a Monthly Exam was an important exam, considering it was their first exam after they entered high school.
"You feel happy, Shishio-kun?" Kiriya suddenly asked.
"Ha? Why should I feel happy?" Shishio was confused.
"You don't really like to join the club activity, right?" Kiriya asked with a smile.
Shishio thought that Kiriya was still unhappy that he had skipped the club activity twice. "Of course not. I'm unhappy that we can't do our club activity."
"Is that so? Then why don't you help me to write down an article?" Kiriya asked.
"..."
Shishio was lost for words and knew that this was what this teacher was going to ask him. "I don't mind, but is there an example of the articles that were written last year?"
"There should be a lot of them, right? Ashihara-kun?" Kiriya asked while looking at Miu.
"Let me get them for you, Shishio-kun." Miu then quickly searched for last year's articles, collecting all of them before she put them on the table.
Shishio took the articles, flipped them casually, and thought the content was quite simple.
Looking at Shishio, who was reading, they had to admit that he was so handsome since the wild aura around him started to change into a scholar-like aura, which gave him a soft, intelligent, and comfortable feeling.
Shishio saw that the article was about the observation of the sophomore students about the new students, understanding the structure, and thought that he should write an observation of the new students to their senior. However, he knew that it wouldn't be enough, and he needed to add some beautiful sentences and some Haikus to his article later.
"Is it only me who writes the article?" Shishio asked.
"No, everyone has also written the articles, but you didn't enter the club twice last week, so you're the only one who hasn't written them," Kiriya said bluntly.
"...."
Shishio was speechless and looked at everyone who gave him a nod with a grin. He didn't complain and nodded. "I'll write the article tonight and send you the article tomorrow in the teacher's room."
"Good." Kiriya nodded with a smile and said, "Well, enough of that, there isn't much activity or something we do today, but if you have something to talk about or ask, we can discuss it now."
Hearing Kiriya's words, everyone started to relax, and they also began to prepare tea and snacks so they could enjoy the club activity.
Shishio, who saw this, felt that his club might not be that different from K-On! in the future since everyone might spend their time drinking tea and eating snacks during the club activity.
But before that, Miu suddenly raised a question, "Um, I want to ask everyone. We have been told that we'll receive a post-graduation plan survey on Friday, right? So what's your plan for the future?"
