- Horikita Volume 1 SS
- (No title)
- "Hey, do you sometimes feel that you are indifferent to no matter what the world becomes?"
- “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 meaning of people trying so hard in a meritocracy world?”
- “Of course that’s for oneself, are you stupid?”
- “Going as far as to call me 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 me. Maybe I unexpectedly have a specific goal?”
- “…You’re right. Although the odds are quite low, I’ll ask you for the time being. What do you plan to do in the future? Do you have a planning?”
- “I want to become the Prime 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 me. I was joking about becoming the Prime Minister. What I want to become is that, something like a civil servant.”
- “For someone who wants to avoid troublesome things like you, this is a stable path… but can you become one?”
- With this statement, she was clearly lamenting about my lack of ability.
- “This civil servant thing, it’s something that you can accidentally become one if you want to become one.”
- “Someone who thinks like this will certainly not be able to become 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 become 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 time when you are still a student to fully stride forward. Because even if you regret it later, you can’t reverse time. Finally, what will appear in front of your eyes will be the unchangeable reality.”
- “…I will remember that.”
- Even though we are clearly at the same age, I can’t help but to think that I’m being admonished by a teacher.
