I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 164 163: An Important Talk

Hachiman's POV

Dyna: "Let's get straight to it. Can I explain why I asked you to co here today?"

Air Groove: "Yes, Mother."

Hachiman: "…"

Dyna: "…Trainer-san?"

Hachiman: "Huh? Oh, y-yeah, please go ahead."

Uh… Hello, everyone. I'm Hachiman Hikigaya, sohow finding myself at Air Groove's family ho with no clue what's going on. Seriously, what's happening? Why am I at Air Groove's place right at the start of winter break?

Flashback: The Day After the Arima Kinen

Air Groove: "Hachiman, what are your plans for this winter break? Going back to your family?"

Hachiman: "Nah, no plans to go back. My room's probably a storage closet by now. I'll just stay at my place. Why do you ask?"

Air Groove: "I'd like you to co to my family ho this winter break. Mother wants to talk to you."

Hachiman: "Wait, your family ho?"

Air Groove: "I know it's selfish, but they've even prepared tickets. I have no idea when they arranged this…"

Hachiman: "Hold on, I'm supposed to go to your place without knowing what's happening?"

Air Groove: "…Sorry."

End Flashback

…And that's how it went down. Now, here I am, sitting face-to-face with Dyna Car and Air Groove like it's so kind of three-way eting. What is this, a parent-teacher conference?

Dyna: "Trainer-san, first, I'm sorry for dragging you here without consulting you. But this is very important to , so I had to resort to these asures."

Hachiman: "No, it's fine. But is there just one thing you want to discuss?"

Dyna: "Yes."

One thing… If it's sothing trivial, I'm gonna lose it.

Hachiman: "Alright, I'm listening."

Dyna: "…First, Air Groove, I'm asking you. You like Trainer-san, don't you?"

Air Groove: "Wha—!? M-Mother!? What's with that question out of nowhere!?" blushing

Dyna: "You did that during your Winning Live in front of everyone. Of course I'd think so."

Air Groove: "Ugh…///"

Dyna: "So, Air Groove? Do you like Trainer-san?"

Air Groove: "…I… I do///"

Dyna: "How much, exactly?"

Air Groove: "…! I love him so much I don't want anyone else to have him!! He's the best man I've ever t!!////"

…Oh man, this is embarrassing/// Is this so kind of public execution? At least it's just the three of us, right? That's not so bad, yeah?

Dyna: "Alright, I understand your feelings. Trainer-san, sa question. What do you think of Air Groove?"

Hachiman: "…I…"

Air Groove: "…////" sneaky glances

Hold up, hold up! I asked Air Groove for ti to think about my answer, and now, days later, her mother is putting on the spot like this!?

Hachiman: "…I don't dislike her, at least. If it's like or dislike, I'd say I like her. But if you're asking if I see her as a woman, that's… hard to answer."

…That's the truth. I've never really seen Air Groove as a woman before. I only started noticing her that way on the way back after the Arima Kinen.

Dyna: "…That's fair. Honestly, I'm relieved you're so sincere. Relationships between trainers and Uma Musu aren't unheard of, but if you'd said you loved her outright, I might've asked Air Groove to give up depending on your answers next."

Hachiman: "I-I see…"

Dyna: "Trainer-san, what's Air Groove like to you as a woman?"

Hachiman: "…She's full of charm I can't sum up in one word. I don't fully understand it myself, so I can't say clearly. But I do think she's a woman too good for soone like ."

Air Groove: "Hachiman…"

Dyna: "So, you're saying you don't think you're good enough for her?"

Hachiman: "The old would've said that. But that's just an outsider's view or so vague assumption—it's not what Air Groove or I actually think. Even if I don't asure up now, I'll beco a man who can stand by her side in the future."

Dyna: "…No taking that back, right?"

Hachiman: "If I were a woman, would a second chance be allowed?"

Dyna: "…Pfft♪ Trainer-san, you're hilarious. And I'm holding you to your word, so no backing out♪"

Hachiman: "Huh?"

Air Groove: "What do you an, Mother?"

Dyna: "What? Trainer-san said it himself—he'll beco a man worthy of you. But I think you two are already a perfect match♪"

Air Groove: "!?"

Hachiman: "What!?"

Dyna: "Alright, it's a joyous day!! That's the end of the serious talk! You two are now a couple and engaged♪ Argue if you want, but I recorded everything, so it's pointless~!"

What is this woman doing!?

Dyna: "Now, you young lovebirds enjoy yourselves♪ I've got dinner to prep! Maybe so sekihan for the occasion? Or sothing Christmassy since it's the season? Oh, what to do♪"

…She started and ended this whole thing on her own. What am I supposed to do with this situation?

Hachiman: "…That escalated fast. You okay with this? , engaged to you…///"

Air Groove: "It's what I wanted. It just happened sooner than expected. But… are you okay with it? I'm not as perfect as you think."

Hachiman: "…Honestly? I want to know all of you, flaws and all. Is that not enough?"

Air Groove: "Couldn't you have said sothing better?"

Hachiman: "Sadly, I don't have great mories of confessions. I'm clueless about making moves. Can you imagine confessing with a straight face?"

Air Groove: "…Not really. But having your face in front of makes … inexplicably happy."

Hachiman: "…That's not the point I was aiming for… Man, you've really changed."

Air Groove: "Let ask you… Are you unhappy being my fiancé?"

What a question… The answer's obvious.

Hachiman: "If I was unhappy, I would've shut Dyna Car down and gotten a slap from you. I'm not unhappy, so relax. Don't make that face."

Air Groove: "…Good. I'm relieved." smiling softly

…My fiancée is pretty cute, huh.

Afterword

Engaged, with Dyna Car's seal of approval!? Talk about a leap forward! Air Groove's bold confession and Hachiman's honest response, sealed by Dyna's whirlwind matchmaking, make this Yahari-infused Uma Musu mont a heart-pounding milestone!
