I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 186 - 184: Fuji Kiseki Arc - Hachiman’s Day Off

Hachiman's POV

Yo, Hachiman Hikigaya here. It's Monday, a rest day from training. So, I've got nothing to do… Yeah, right! Man, the requests never stop—watch this training, make that nu. Most of them co from unassigned Uma Musu or Tresen Academy instructors. The unassigned girls? Fine, I get it. Showing off their skills to trainers is smart, and they might get solid advice. But the instructors? Do your damn jobs! Dumping nus on ? My plans are popular, sure, but co on, you've got teaching credentials!

…Ugh, should I talk to Tojo-san about this?

Hachiman: "…Sigh."

Hayahide: "Hm, sothing wrong, Trainer-kun? That was a heavy sigh."

Hachiman: "Oh, Hayahide… It's just…"

I spilled my ntal rant to Hayahide. Venting to a student feels a bit off, but I need to let it out.

Hayahide: "I see. But it shows how much they rely on you. Accepting it graciously might lighten your mood."

Hachiman: "If I could do that, I wouldn't be struggling. Guess how often I get these nu requests?"

Hayahide: "Hm… Twice a month?"

Hachiman: "Nope. Once a week."

Hayahide: "…That's practically full-on delegation."

Hachiman: "Told you. It's relentless. Plus, it's like my skills are being exposed. I'm careful not to overstep, though."

Hayahide: "Why not talk to the chairman or Tazuna-dono? They'd be more helpful than ."

Hachiman: "Yeah. I'll also demand 30% of the instructors' salaries."

Hayahide: "That's a bit much…"

Hey, I'm doing half the work—maybe 70%!

Hallway

Venting to Hayahide helped, but now what? Tomorrow's nu is set, and I don't need new ones. I'm not a nap guy, so…

Bakushin-O: "Hey, hey, hey! It's Trainer-san!!"

Hachiman: "Hm?"

Bourbon: "Hello, Trainer."

Rice: "Hello, Onii-sama."

Hachiman: "Yo, quite the trio. You guys close?"

Bakushin-O: "Close? We're in the sa year and class! And I'm the class president!! proud puff"

Huh, sa year? Didn't know. I knew Rice and Bourbon were tight, but this makes sense.

Bourbon: "What were you doing here, Trainer?"

Hachiman: "Nothing much. Training's off today, so I'm free. But I'm not desperate enough to make new nus, and I'm not watching anyone's training either."

Bakushin-O: "Got it! But if you're free, why not watch soone's training? Learning other Uma Musu's styles could be useful!"

Hachiman: "…You telling to watch yours?"

Rice: "B-Bakushin-O-san! That's too much!"

Bakushin-O: "No, no, not like that! Trainer-san's so good, he won't struggle to scout talent."

Hachiman: "I've already seen most Uma Musu run, so no need. Plus, I still get tons of those requests."

Bourbon: "Already have all the data? Impressive."

Bakushin-O: "Then how about us!? Want us as your trainees!?"

…Honestly? I do. Rice would dominate long-distance, Bakushin-O's untouchable in sprints, and Bourbon's a sprinter but can handle mid-distance—maybe even long-distance soday.

Hachiman: "You've all got strengths—sprinter, stayer, all-rounder. My focus is mid-distance, but honestly? I'd want all of you."

Bakushin-O: "Ohh!! Then—'No can do. There's a limit on trainees.' Ack! The limit… Fine, can't be helped."

Rice: "T-Then! If there was no limit, would you scout us?"

Hachiman: "Yeah, probably. No clue when I'll get my own team, though. Veteran trainers earned their spots through hard work."

Bourbon: "And you're likely getting sward by students too."

Hachiman: "…Maybe I'll hold off on that team thing for now."

Bourbon: "!?"

Bakushin-O: "Whoa!?"

Rice: "Eeh!?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0v3l.Fiɾe

Afterword

Hachiman's rare day off turns into a venting session and a chaotic encounter in this Yahari x Uma Musu chapter! His popularity with unassigned Uma Musu and lazy instructors highlights his growing legend, while Rice, Bakushin-O, and Bourbon's energy adds charm. Fuji's arc continues with more trials ahead!
