Future path investigation

A lunch break on a certain day.

Like always, aware of my surroundings,I carefully entered the world history preparations room. Since Ididn’t go meet her in the teacher’s office this morning, thiswould be the first time seeing Hiiragi-chan today.

“Good work today~” Hiiragi-changreeted me as usual, but she seemed to be in a bad mood for somereason.

“What happened?”

On top of the table, there were twolunch boxes, and as always, I sat down on the chair next to her.

“Just now, I was searching throughSakai-sensei’s desk.”

Saka-sensei is the home room teacherfor my class.

“Ohhh…Wait, don’t go searchingthrough other people’s desks!”

“Saka-sensei had class at that time,and the teacher’s office was empty.”

“That was your reason?!”

“There was something that picked myinterest, so Hiiragi-sensei decided to investigate a little bit.”

Please, someone teach Hiiragi-chan somemanners. The teacher responsible for the student guidance shouldrather start with his colleagues, I think. But, why would she even dothat…?

“And, Sensei, what did you searchfor?”

“Not ‘Sensei’. When it’s justthe two of us, call me Haruka-san~” Hiiragi-chan poked my cheekwith her finger.

A fake angry Hiiragi-chan is reallycute.

“Seiji-kun, do you not know why I’min a bad mood?”

But of course, she didn’t forget toproperly feed me by lunch. Today once more, she kept going ‘Openwide~’ as she stuffed some deep-fried food into my mouth.Delicious.

“Did I do something?”

“You’re asking this after whatyou’ve done? It was pretty cruel, you know.”

“Cruel? I didn’t do anything likethat, though.”

If I do something to make Hiiragi-chansad, I’m guilty. That’s my iron rule. So, did I do something badwithout knowing?

“Ah. Are you talking about the timewhen I was talking with the girls from my class?”

Though that conversation went only likethis:

“We’re changing classrooms youknow?” > “A-Ah, thank you.”

Is that really it?

“There’s no way that Hiiragi-senseiwould get jealous because of high school girls,” she said with alot of vigor, only to follow up with a quiet “…Probably…”

“And also, Seiji-kun wouldn’t getexcited by second-year high school girls, right? Here, an universitygraduate like me is much more appealing.”

“So that’s the point at issue?!”

Hiiragi-chan asserted her position as afunctioning member of society as she seemed satisfied.

“Hmpf!”

And now she’s pouting?!

“It’s fine, Haruka-san. There arecountless good things about you.”

“Uuu~~~ And then you say stuff likethat…”

When I started patting her, her facebrightened up into a grin.

“Hiiragi Haruka is mad atSeiji-kun…!”

That doesn’t sound very convincingwith that kind of expression.

“Haruka-san, won’t you tell me? Whyexactly are you mad at me?”

With that, Hiiragi-chan started fishingsomething out of her belongings, namely one single printout, only tohold it straight to my face.

[Future path questioning Class 2BSanada Seiji]

It was the printout I had written downthe universities that I wished to visit after my graduation.

“??”

As question marks appeared on top of myhead, Hiiragi-chan opened the paper.

“You’re still playing dumb? Evenafter looking at this?”

While playing mad, she pointed at mynumber one and two choices of universities. My first choice was alocal public university, while the second one was a privateuniversity.

“Still playing dumb…isn’t thisnormal? No, I had to write something, right? We’re getting close tothinking about our future paths after all.”

“That’s not it! Why do you plan ongoing to a university!”

“Why…This is a society which workson your academic background, right? You gotta have a certain level oryou’re not going to find a job, you know?”

“There’s no meaning in going to auniversity. I can guarantee that.”

“Guarantee for what. Well, it’strue that I only worked half-time instead of going to my classes.”

“Worked half-time…?”

“Ah—I heard about that.”

I was spacing out and didn’t payattention to my words. But luckily, Hiiragi-chan nodded once, seemingsatisfied with my excuse.

“That’s right. University is ascary place, you know. Only normies have fun there. There are alsosome bad kids there, so it’s not a place Seiji-kun should visit.”

I agree with the normie part. And,apparently she’s trying to stop me from going to university.

“Even if you graduate, you only get adegree after all.”

“Stop with the real talk.”

Does Hiiragi-chan hate the thought ofme going to university?

“Ah, I got it. You’re worryingsince I would go to a place where you couldn’t watch over me,right?”

“Nope, not at all.”

“So you’re not!”

“I won’t lose against little girlswith their nonexistent resourcefulness. I’m pretty good at cookingtoo.”

“Then what are you mad about?”

“Even though I told you that I wouldcare for you, you’re still going to a university?! Seiji-kun canjust become dependent on me, you know?!”

You got your priorities as a teacherwrong! And also, having a boyfriend like that is what should make youmad!

I’m actually trying, and I getscolded for that?

“At times like these, you just haveto write ‘Husband’~” Hiiragi-chan said as she erased my choice.

And, after bringing out a pen, shewrote [Husband ♡]

“I’ll get scolded by my home roomteacher!”

Now my second wish was basically[Housekeeper]

“Isn’t that the same as being ashut-in?!”

My third wish was [High-classunemployee]

“That’s just a better sounding namefor a shut-in!”

“For crying out loud!” Hiiragi-chanslammed her hand on the table. “I thought that it would better thanjust writing shut-in!”

“It’s just as bad!”

“Really, Seiji-kun is just so…”Hiiragi-chan sighed as she once more erased ‘my’ choices off theprintout. “With this, you shouldn’t have any problem, right?”She asked as she wrote something new

[Bride]

“The weirdness just went up!”

If girls write something like that,it’s cute, but if it’s a boy, they’d think you have a loosescrew in your head.

Having stolen back the printout, Iwrote my former choices. In response, Hiiragi-chan pouted with adispleased expression.

“This is just a way to cover it up. Ican write whatever I want after all. I don’t have to follow thesesteps. With that, my home room teacher can’t say anything.”

“Eh…Seiji-kin, you’re a genius!”

Finally, she seemed to be satisfied.

“Sanada-kun? Next time, don’t doanything to make Sensei sad, okay?”

“Yes. I understand.”

As she suddenly switched to being ateacher, I followed suit. And, she suddenly closed her eyes andpuffed out her lips.

“Nnn…”

“Well, this, we’re at school now…”

“…Hurry.”

Closing the curtains, I kissedHiiragi-chan.

“This was the last one at school,okay.”

“Eh…why are you so strict…”

Because things are going to escalateotherwise. Probably.

“Just one more.”

“No, I said—”

“Nnn♡”

And like this, I continued to beingblinded by love by this cute creature.
