Then there were the three blank preference slots.
According to Sakagami-sensei, they had to submit their preferences tomorrow, so everyone had one day to think it over.
As for Hachiman, his preferences had actually been decided long ago. He did not need a full day; he could fill them in right now.
Just as Hachiman was about to write on the preference form, he heard a scraping sound. Suzune Horikita, seated in front of him, had shifted her chair. Then Hachiman noticed that Horikita had turned around.
"..." Horikita stared straight at him. More precisely, her gaze had fallen on the career-planning form he was about to write on.
"..."
Was Horikita always this direct?
Hachiman also remembered his agreement with her—to attend the same medical university.
Although Hachiman had an agreement with Kushida and Ichinose to marry after graduation, and had even filled out the marriage registration forms, he had not immediately chosen to give up on life. Instead, he had chosen to continue on to university.
He wanted to study psychology, while Horikita wanted to study medicine, so they could become classmates again in the future.
And now, Horikita had clearly remembered that agreement and was staring at him because of it.
So Hachiman could only meet her gaze and begin writing.
With a few quick strokes, he put his dream of becoming a househusband in the first slot, and wrote Tokyo University, Faculty of Medicine beside it.
He wrote househusband in the second slot.
Then Hachiman set down his pen.
"Scrape!" Suzune Horikita, seated in front of him, shifted her chair again and turned back around.
"..." Hachiman.
Terrifying. He had thought Horikita had softened up a little and become rather cute, but the way she had silently stared at him just now had been frightening.
