Baka to Tesuto to Syokanju:Volume10.5 Me and the Future and Summoned Beasts
Me and the Future and Summoned Beasts
“““Uunn…”””
“? What’s with you guys? Why are you looking so troubled?”
“It’s rare to see you look so serious.”
“What happened?”
On a day after school, Yuuji, Muttsurini and I were bothered over something, and Minami, Hideyoshi and Himeji-san came over to us.
“Well, about this, we’re wondering what to do…”
I handed over the one responsible for my troubles over to Himeji-san.
“Ah, it’s the Career Aspiration Questionnaire?”
“Yeah.”
The Career Aspiration Questionnaire is about what we want to do after we graduate from High School, and it is something important that will affect our lives, and also something bothering me.
“What do you mean by you’re wondering? You’re not going to further your studies?”
Minami asked with disbelief.
Fumitzuki Gakuen is a prep school after all, and as Minami said, most of us will write that we’re continuing our studies.
“I’d thought you would write that you’ll continue your studies, Yuuji.”
“Well, that’s what I thought too. But if I write that I’m going to further my studies, I should at least write the school’s name?”
“Of course. If you’re going to further your studies, you have to write the school you wish to enter and the subjects, or so I heard.”
“I’m really wondering how I’m going to write this here…”
Yuuji sighed softly.
Besides furthering our studies, we also have to choose what jobs we want. It feels really difficult for me.
“I’m not the only one bothered about this. Akihisa too is troubled over which seaside tree to choose.”
“Wait, Yuuji, don’t just add an option ‘hanged in the forest’ in my progress options there!”
I guess Ironman will be shocked if he receives this piece from me that has the words “Choice of University: Sakaeou University, Place you wish to work at: Haseda Trading, Place you wish to be hung at: Fuji Forest.”
I suppose we should leave aside such useless talk for now.
“We’re troubled because of this.”
“Hmm…if you really don’t know what to write, how about you write down what you want first before changing it later?”
“I think you can write until your 3rd wish, right?”
“No, we’re hoping that we can write until the 15th wish.”
“Isn’t that too much?”
In other words, 3 wishes alone won’t be able to include our wishes completely. That Ironman…! He should die ten thousand deaths for lumping me together with Yuuji and Muttsurini…!
“If you have to write 15 wishes, it’s no wonder that it’s hard.”
“Yeah.”
And we have to hand it over to that Ironman. If we are to write something weird, we’ll be punished by the iron fist and forced to rewrite. It’s going to be an endless suffering for us. Good grief…
“Speaking of which, have you finished writing, Hideyoshi?”
I decided to ask Hideyoshi for reference.
From what they said, I guess that Himeji-san and Minami are going to continue their studies, but what about Hideyoshi?
“Hm? I haven’t written anything yet, but I do know what I want to do in the future. That’s why I’m not lost about anything.”
“Is that so? That’s good.”
If we’re talking about Hideyoshi, it has to be acting. He’s definitely going to put that as his career path. At this point, I really envy those who won’t be lost because they have a clear goal.
As she sees me looking this troubled, Minami claps her hands together and says,
“In that case, how about you choose something you want to do as your career path, Aki?”
“What I want to do?”
“Yeah. Isn’t it good to consider whether you want to further your studies or to work first?”
“What interests do you have, Akihisa-kun?”
Once the girls said this, I start to think for a while.
Interests, interests…as for what I like, I’ll say,
“Something like manga and games.”
I like playing games a lot, but if I am to say what I really like most.
“Fm…a mangaka or something similar?”
“Or a game designer. That can work.”
“It has nothing to do with manga and games, but you can be quite the chef, you know, Aki?”
Himeji-san and the rest listed out the options. Fm fm, I see.
“In other words, in the future, I’ll become—”
“…An ero-mangaka, an ero gamer designer, an ero-chef.”
“—One of those…wait, why are they all related to ero!? Aren’t these all you wishes, Muttsurini!?”
“…!!(Shakes head wildly)”
And what’s with that ero-chef especially? Is that a chef that will use an erotic-looking radish with the shape of feet to cook?
Yuuji looks like he’s lecturing Muttsurini as he says,
“Oi oi, Muttsurini, this can be considered something that will affect your life, you know? You have to treat it seriously.”
“…I’m already serious here.”
That’s very problematic too.
I ignore Muttsurini and turn towards Yuuji,
“Then, Akihisa.”
“Hm?”
“Honestly, which middle school do you want to enter?”
“YOU WANT A FIGHT, DON’T YOU!? I’LL GIVE YOU AN ALL-OUT FIGHT IF YOU WANT, YOU DAMNED BASTARD!”
“Aki and Hazuki in the same grade…as a sister, I’m really thankful for that.”
“Before that, you should pity me as a friend here, Minami!”
They are really friends who aren’t worth making.
“Ahaha…well, leaving aside Akihisa-kun…what do you want to do in the future, Tsuchiya-san?”
“…Nu—cameraman.”
(He wanted to say nude cameraman there.)
(He wanted to say nude cameraman there, right?)
(He wanted to say nude cameraman there, didn’t he.)
Our thoughts were in sync.
“Well, Tsuchiya-kun…I suppose you should write something to explain if you want to hand this questionnaire over to the teacher.”
“…! (Shakes head violently)”
It’s just like what Himeji-san said. Muttsurini has to maintain a good image.
“What you want to do is a problem itself, Muttsurini.”
“But I do feel that it’s good that you have a clear idea of what you want to do.”
