Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: A Horse That Can Run a Thousand Li

"So you're from Toritsu Sakuramachi School, Shirayuki-san? Isn't that a very famous middle school?"

The Horse Girls at the table exclaimed in surprise.

"I heard that most of the students there go on to top high schools."

"And if you can get into a top high school, you can get into a top university!"

"Shirayuki-san, you have a bright future ahead of you."

You're thinking way too far ahead.

Shirayuki smiled on the outside but was吐槽ing wildly on the inside. Although she had graduated from a top high school and university, the hardship involved was something ordinary people couldn't understand. Especially in university, where she had started studying for the central trainer license exam from her freshman year, for four whole years.

If not for those four years of hard work, she would just be an ordinary office worker now. Although, she was still an office worker...

So don't think that just because you go to a good school, your future is set. The difficulties will only increase.

Of course, saying this to a group of middle school students would be too cruel. To spare their feelings, Shirayuki simply said, "If you work hard, things should turn out well."

"Then why did you want to come to Tracen, Shirayuki-san?" a girl with curly hair asked.

"Because of admiration, of course." Shirayuki placed a hand on her chest. "The way Horse Girls run is so beautiful, so breathtaking! I think they are the most perfect beings in the world. They shine like stars!"

"So, to follow in the footsteps of such Horse Girls, I decided to transfer to Tracen Academy."

"Wow! That's such a bold declaration, Shirayuki-san."

"If you like Horse Girls, does that mean you like me too?"

"That's right."

Another shriek erupted from the group.

Not far away, Chiya served himself a bowl of rice, staring blankly at Shirayuki sitting in the middle of the crowd.

So tired, I want to run away...

The constant bombardment from five or six people gave him no room to relax. He couldn't even taste the rice he was eating.

They had asked him about everything from his birth to his school life. If he were thick-skinned enough, he felt they would even ask what color Shirayuki's underwear was.

To build a good relationship, Chiya kept his phone out, constantly searching for 'how to have a happy conversation with girls.' The answer was clear: make them happy, say what they want to hear.

The effect was indeed good. Her answers satisfied all the students, as could be seen from their smiles.

This should raise my status in the class a bit, right?

"Trainer Chiya."

As Chiya was dealing with the girls' offensive, a brown figure carrying a tray walked over.

It was Hishi Amazon, who had just arrived at the cafeteria.

"All alone?"

"Yeah."

Hearing this, Amazon sat down next to him, her gaze happening to fall on Shirayuki across the room.

"Isn't that your sister? Why aren't you sitting with her?"

"They're all students. It's not convenient for me to go over."

"You still care about things like that?" Amazon laughed. "Don't worry, no one sees you as a trainer anyway."

"Are you complimenting me or insulting me...?"

"Complimenting you, of course." Amazon took a sip of miso soup. "Trainers like you who are willing to mingle with students are rare these days. The trainers I've met are all very distant and serious. It's no fun talking to them. Compared to them, you're much more interesting."

"The more I think about that sentence, the weirder it sounds."

What do you mean 'much more interesting'? Are you sure you're describing a person and not a pet dog?

"Don't worry about the details." Amazon picked up a rolled omelet and placed it on Chiya's plate. "It's a new dish in the cafeteria. You haven't tried it yet, right?"

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it."

When the conversation lulled, Shirayuki's group finally quieted down, and everyone started eating.

Come to think of it, she hadn't eaten anything since last night, but she didn't feel hungry.

Could it be that this body doesn't need food?

Impossible. That's not realistic at all. It completely violates the law of conservation of energy. As the saying goes, the more you eat, the faster you run. Looking at the mountain of rice on Special Week's plate, you could tell this girl had a limitless future.

I have to recruit her if I get the chance.

But before that.

Shirayuki picked up her chopsticks and put a large mouthful of rice in her mouth.

"!"

This is delicious!

A taste she had never experienced before filled her mouth.

Strange. It all came from the same pot, so why does it taste so different?

The aroma of the fried rice was infused in every grain, exploding on her tongue the moment she bit down. She practically inhaled the food, finishing the large bowl in front of her in a few bites.

It's not enough...

"I'm going to get another bowl."

"Okay... huh? You're already finished, Shirayuki-san?"

It hadn't even been two minutes.

"I didn't get enough."

With a simple reply, Shirayuki took her plate and went to the buffet counter.

Her stomach now felt like a bottomless pit, craving food desperately. As they say, when you're not hungry, you're not hungry, but when you are, you're starving. She couldn't be bothered with appearances and loaded her plate with everything she saw.

When she returned, the others could only peek at her from behind the mountain of food that obscured her entire face.

"D-do you eat this much, Shirayuki-san?"

"I don't know why, but I'm especially hungry today."

"Oh, I feel that way too sometimes!" Special Week nodded repeatedly, as if she had found a kindred spirit. "Sometimes I just want to eat and can't stop. My mom used to scold me for it. I ate half a month's worth of food for the family once."

"That really happened...?"

No wonder people say that having a Horse Girl in the family will cause your Engel's coefficient to grow exponentially.

Who could afford to raise one?

In just a few minutes, the pile of food that was half the size of her body disappeared into Shirayuki's stomach. But even so, she only felt half full.

"Um... I'm going to get a little more."

Even though it was a bit embarrassing, Shirayuki couldn't resist her hunger and spoke up.

"Huh? You can eat even more than me, Shirayuki-san?" Special Week was shocked.

"Could it be that not only sweets, but food too can be stored in a white swan's second stomach?"

With an awkward but polite smile, Shirayuki stood up.

I hope this doesn't lower their affection for me...

Meanwhile, Chiya looked at Hishi Amazon.

"Amazon, what do you think of girls who eat a lot?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Amazon was taken aback.

Looking at her own plate, which had about a third more food than Chiya's, she blinked. She inadvertently glanced at his phone, which showed the words 'how to talk to girls,' and as if realizing something, her cheeks suddenly flushed.

"Why... why do you suddenly ask?"

"Usually, girls are very conscious of their portion sizes, afraid that others will say they eat a lot. But is it different for Horse Girls?"

"Are you saying Horse Girls are different from other girls?"

"No, I mean that Horse Girls prioritize health over their figure, so they don't restrict their diet too much. What do you think?"

"I think so too. Health is more important for a Horse Girl. By the way, Chiya, you're not calling me fat, are you...?"

"Not at all," Chiya said, looking at her. "I think you have a great figure, like a model."

"Eh... eh!?"

"Thanks, Amazon. I'm relieved to know your thoughts."

Horse Girls don't dislike people who eat a lot.

Finishing the rest of his food, Chiya left the cafeteria with a satisfied heart, leaving a blushing and utterly confused Hishi Amazon behind.

So, why did he have to ask me that question?
