I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 170 - 168: I’m Angry

Hachiman's POV

Hachiman: "So? What's up all of a sudden?"

Ardan: "Onii-sama, I'm angry. Do you know why?"

Hachiman: "No clue. Did I do sothing to you?"

Ardan: "…Not exactly. That's why I'm angry."

Hachiman: "That makes even less sense."

jiro Ardan's sudden "I'm angry" declaration has stumped. I'm racking my brain, but I've got no idea what she's mad about. And she seems seriously pissed… What does she an, I didn't do anything, so she's angry? Wait…

Hachiman: "Is it… because I still haven't scouted you?"

Ardan: "I've thought about that, but that's not the reason this ti."

Hachiman: "Oh, not that… Then I'm lost."

Ardan: "…You really don't know?"

Hachiman: "If I did, I wouldn't be this confused."

Ardan: "…Fine, I'll tell you. Onii-sama, why didn't you consult about your move?"

Hachiman: "…Move? Why's that a problem?"

Ardan: "…Do you rember our date last year?"

Hachiman: "Yeah, of course… Wait, you an when you asked if I had no plans to move out of the dorm?" Google seaʀᴄh novèlfire

Ardan: "Exactly. If you were seriously considering moving, I wish you'd consulted … I could've found you a nice place."

Hachiman: "No way, that's not okay. Why would I ask a high schooler about where to live?"

Ardan: "I would've covered the costs…"

Hachiman: "That's even more not okay…"

Ardan: "That's why I'm angry, Onii-sama."

Hachiman: "I'm still not getting why this is worth getting mad over."

Ardan: "So, I'm staying at your place tonight."

Hachiman: "Wait, my opinion doesn't matter? Hold on, Ardan's not that kind of reckless Uma Musu, right? Your family wouldn't allow it."

Ardan: "I consulted my parents and grandmother, and they happily agreed♪"

Hachiman: "Happily agreed? What's that supposed to an?"

Ardan: "So, Onii-sama, I'll be in your care today♪ I'll help with anything, so don't worry."

Hachiman: "I never said you could stay! And what about the overnight permission form—'I submitted it.' …I'm not approving this."

Ardan: "Is Onii-sama the kind of cold person who'd abandon his little sister?"

Dammit, she's dead-set on staying. Has her personality changed or sothing? Since when did she get this pushy? She wasn't like this before, right?

Hachiman: "Ugh… Fine, you can stay."

Ardan: "Thank you, Onii-sama. I'll be staying for three days♪"

Hachiman: "…Three days?"

Ardan: "Yes, three days."

Hachiman: "…My place isn't a hotel. One day's not enough?"

Ardan: "Onii-sama, I believe this is necessary for us. The more ti I spend with you, the better. It helps us understand each other more. Isn't this a great opportunity for that?"

Hachiman: "That'd make sense if we both agreed, but I'm not on board."

Ardan: "My Onii-sama is a big-hearted person."

Hachiman: "You're mistaking for so saint. I'm just a regular guy."

I tried to talk her out of it, but Ardan wouldn't budge. In the end, I gave in to a three-day stay. Ugh… I just want to eat with Rice for so healing. I need comfort, stat…

After School

Hachiman: "…"

Ardan: "Hehe♪"

Hachiman: "Uh, Ardan-san?"

Ardan: "Yes, what is it?"

Hachiman: "Why are they here?"

Ardan: "Pardon?"

Hachiman: "I'm asking why they're here!! I didn't hear about this!!"

Chiyo: "S-Sorry! But I've been curious for a while about what kind of trainer Ardan-san cares so much about~."

Yaeno: "I feel the sa as Chiyo-san. Plus, I sensed no ill intent from you, so I decided it was safe to tag along!"

Hachiman: "Ardan, I thought it was just you. Why are Chiyo and Yaeno here? Did you leave that out?"

Ardan: "It's a surprise♪"

Hachiman: "I don't need that kind of surprise!!"

Chiyo: "Um, are we causing trouble? If we are, I'll go back…"

Hachiman: "…It's fine, Chiyo. You're welco to co, no worries." pats head

What's with this girl? Those puppy-dog eyes! How could I say no? There's healing beyond Rice after all…

Ardan: "Onii-sama, could you do that for too?"

Hachiman: "You kept those two a secret, so no pats today."

Ardan: "…Understood."

Yaeno: "T-T-T-Trainer-dono!?"

Hachiman: "What?"

Yaeno: "I-I submit that… head-patting is… a bit too close, don't you think!?"

Hachiman: "…Is it?"

Chiyo: "No, I'm fine! It actually felt kinda nice! Ehe~."

Ardan: "I'm jealous, Chiyo-san…"

Yaeno: "This 'blazing fire' in … how do I contain it…!?"

…This is gonna be a wild three days.
