Because of Agnes Tachyon's incense, Chiya was forced to miss a day of work. He didn't wake up until the middle of the night.
He had now wrapped the incense in plastic wrap and stuffed it under the sofa.
This thing was incredibly dangerous.
The next day, a refreshed Chiya stood in front of his team.
"The festival is over. I hope everyone can quickly adjust and get back to our training. Time waits for no one. There are still five months until your debut. I hope that in these five months, all of you will improve your skills and step onto the racetrack without any regrets."
After the formal speech, he got to the main point.
"Next week, there's an event that requires three Horse Girls to participate. We're going to the central racetrack to exchange and spar with other Horse Girls, to see how we compare to others. Is there anyone who wants to sign up?"
"Trainer Chiya!" Gold Ship raised her hand.
"So eager! Alright, Ship, you're in."
"No, I just wanted to ask, what's the prize for winning?"
"Race experience."
"Then I'm not participating," she said, lowering her hand.
This little brat! She won't do anything unless there's a profit in it!
He gritted his teeth in frustration.
"Trainer, whose race is it?" Meisho Doto asked timidly.
"The same as you, all undebuted Horse Girls. Some are from the central division, not all are Tracen students."
"I see..."
She hesitated. If she went, would she be a bother to the trainer?
"Trainer, I need to calculate if this trip will be auspicious or inauspicious!" Machikane Fukukitaru said loudly.
"We're not going on a business trip."
Looking at her chanting, he slapped his face.
"Anyone else? Who else wants to go?"
"Rice wants to go with Onii-sama!" Without hesitation, Rice Shower raised her hand.
As expected of Rice Shower. He thought of her 93 affection level and felt a wave of emotion.
It might be a bit inflated, but it was at least in the eighties.
"Alright, Rice Shower is in. Anyone else?"
"Trainer, I want to go too," Mejiro Dober immediately raised her hand.
If she could gain race experience, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Dober, got it. That's two people now."
Looking at her, it seemed she could speak normally with him now.
Not bad.
This way, Shirayuki could report back to the Mejiro family and then renew the contract.
"Inauspicious!" Just then, Fukukitaru shouted. "Trainer, this trip will be full of misfortune!"
"Pfft!" He couldn't help but spit. "No, Great Immortal, don't talk nonsense. How is it full of misfortune?"
Am I going to have a bloody disaster on this trip?!
"Trainer Chiya, you will encounter the most terrifying enemy of your life, a great mountain standing before you! This person will become the biggest obstacle to you achieving your goal."
"That's too vague. I'm just going to an exchange meet. How did a great mountain suddenly appear?"
"I don't know either, Trainer. In any case, this event will be fraught with difficulties. You need to be fully prepared."
"What should I prepare?"
"That's something you'll have to figure out for yourself."
Damn it!
This quack talked for so long and said nothing.
"Then are you coming with me, Fukukitaru?"
"Oh my, this trip is inauspicious for me, so I can't," she said, shaking her head.
This girl... could she be making this up just to get out of going?
He stared at her.
Perhaps feeling his gaze, she waved her hands repeatedly. "I can't go, really can't go! It's a great misfortune! A great misfortune for me!"
Oh well.
He sighed.
"Then Shirayuki will go. The last one."
"Yes."
Shirayuki replied perfunctorily.
The lineup for next week was set.
Besides herself, the most reliable ones in the team were Rice Shower and Mejiro Dober. As for the other three... it was hard to say.
"Chiya."
After arranging the daily training plan, Kiryuuin Aoi walked over.
"Aoi... ah no, Trainer Kiryuuin."
"There's no one around anyway. Just call me Aoi," she said with a small smile. "Did you receive the notice from the Chairwoman? About the rookie trainer exchange meet next week."
"That's right. You too?"
"Yes."
"Then your Horse Girls... right, you only have three now."
Special Week, Seiun Sky, and Happy Meek.
"I want to take the three of them to hone their skills. I heard there are also internal trainers from the central division there."
Only the top fifty in the central trainer exam were eligible to join the central division. The main job of those trainers was to research and improve existing training methods. Some would also enter management and train the next generation of trainers.
These people's abilities were not ordinary. Even though they were all rookie trainers, the gap between them was quite large.
Back when Aoi took the exam, her score was outside the top hundred, while he was only ranked eighty-fourth.
"If we can beat these trainers, Meek and the others will definitely improve a lot," she said, looking at him. "I'm relieved to know that you're going too. I thought I would be the only one."
"Me too."
"Then I won't disturb your training. I'll see you when we go. Oh, right."
Remembering something, she walked to his side, stood on her tiptoes, and whispered in his ear, "I heard from Minamisaka-senpai that those trainers from the central division also poach people. It's best to be careful and not let them steal your Horse Girls."
"Poach people?"
"That's right. There have been cases of Tracen trainers' Horse Girls being poached during the exchange meet."
Because they were also registered at Tracen, they had the right to train Tracen's Horse Girls.
"Isn't that a bit malicious...?"
"After all, they're not breaking any rules. Training Horse Girls is perfectly reasonable. And the Horse Girls who were poached to train within the central division have all achieved impressive results. You can't say they're intentionally causing trouble."
"Alright, I understand."
He thanked her.
As he was about to return to his team, he was stopped by another voice.
Turning his head, he saw the graceful green figure.
"Miss Hayakawa."
"I'm sorry to bother you, Trainer Chiya." Like a teenage girl, her fair and delicate face showed a smile that would charm countless men. "There's something I wanted to talk to you about."
"Please, go ahead."
She came closer, a faint body fragrance wafting into his nostrils. Her gentle voice seemed to have a relaxing effect, calming his mood.
"There are some bad rumors about the internal trainers from the central division."
The familiar conversation made him raise an eyebrow.
"You're not talking about poaching, are you, Miss Hayakawa?"
"You already know?"
"Aoi... Trainer Kiryuuin just told me."
"That's good. I hope you won't let your Horse Girls wander off. It's very troublesome to get entangled with those people."
"Understood."
With her usual gentle smile, she nodded and left.
Looking at her beautiful figure, the '96' affection from the glasses couldn't help but surface in his mind.
'Make an outrageous request to her, and you'll know if her affection for you is really that high.'
He remembered the little devil's whisper.
Normally, if the affection wasn't high, she wouldn't have gone out of her way to remind me of this, right?
But it's Miss Hayakawa's job to take care of the trainers. It's possible I'm just being conceited...
But.
He clenched his fists.
He really wanted to know if that number was real or fake.
If he guessed right, they were in love and could start dating on the spot.
If he guessed wrong, he would have no chance with her ever again!
He didn't want her to dislike him.
Gritting his teeth, he raised his hand.
"Miss Hayakawa!"
"Hmm? Is there something else, Trainer Chiya?"
Tilting her head, she showed a serene smile.
Facing the most perfect, most gentle woman in his eyes, he gritted his teeth.
"Miss Hayakawa, could you give me your... pa-panti..."
"Pa...?"
"Could you give me that hair tie of yours?!" he finally choked out.
