I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 215 - 214: Fuji Kiseki Arc - Meeting and Cooking

Maurice's POV

♪~ Classes are done, and it's ti for our eting and training! I've only been with Team Polaris for a month, but my seniors' skills are unreal. I often run alongside Bakushin-O-san, but my win rate in practice is barely 20%. Sure, if it's my specialty—mile races—I might do better, but Trainer-san says, "If you can keep up with Bakushin-O in a straight, only a few can catch you." So, my goal is to match her speed to the end!

Maurice: "Alright, let's do this!"

Click

Maurice: "Hello!"

Air Groove: "Oh, Maurice. You're early."

Maurice: "Air Groove-senpai, good work today!"

Air Groove: "No need to be so formal. We're teammates—relax a bit."

Maurice: "Y-Yes."

How relaxed is "soft" supposed to be?

As ti passed, the team gathered, and Trainer-san ca in last.

Hachiman: "Sorry I'm late. Everyone here?"

CB: "All here~! Hachiman, let's wrap this up and train!"

Hachiman: "Hold on. This eting's important—it'll shape our next moves. Like I said this morning, training's shorter today."

Arrow: "…Our debut races?"

Hachiman: "Sharp as ever. That's part of it, but not all."

Fuji: "So, what's first?"

Hachiman: "You, Fuji. You won the Derby, making you a two-crown Uma Musu. Next is the Chrysanthemum Sho, but 3000m is a big hurdle for you. Switching routes—like aiming for the Tenno Sho (Autumn)—is an option. So… what do you think? Triple Crown or Tenno Sho? It's your call."

Fuji: "What do you want, Trainer-san? You're one step from the Triple Crown—don't you want to go for it?"

Hachiman: "Of course I do. But I won't force an Uma Musu to do sothing that risks injury. Air Groove, Fuji, CB—you know I'm most scared of injuries. There's a saying: 'An injury-free Uma Musu is a great Uma Musu.' Run safely, and I'm happy. Results are nice, but your health cos first. If you can't race, it's all over."

…Trainer-san's incredible. I knew it, but he really puts us Uma Musu first. That's why he's letting Fuji-senpai choose her next race.

Fuji: "…Hachiman-san, can I have so ti? It's not an easy decision."

Hachiman: "Sure, take your ti. July's the deadline—after that, we need to prep for the next race."

Fuji: "Got it."

Hachiman: "Next up: this year's training camp. Team Polaris won't join the camp—we'll stay at the academy."

Ooh, a training camp? Sounds fun♪ Wait… why do CB-senpai, Air Groove-senpai, and Fuji-senpai look so down? Did they really want to go?

CB: "W-Wait… does that an no Hachiman special camp dinner this year?"

Hachiman: "…That's your concern?"

CB: "Not just that! Hachiman, do you know how popular your cooking is!?"

Hachiman: "Ha… So that's why you're all bumd. Poor Maurice is confused—she's never been. But there's a reason. First, Maurice."

Maurice: "M-?"

Hachiman: "You just enrolled two months ago. I can't push a newbie like that. We'll stay at the academy and build you up slowly."

Ardan: "I see… Any other reasons?"

Hachiman: "Yeah. Your debut races. You're all debuting this year—overdoing it at camp would wreck you. So, we stay."

Makes sense… Heavy training before a debut is too much. Learning a lot here~

CB: "More importantly! No camp dinner this year!?"

Hachiman: "…Do you all want it?"

CB, Air Groove, Fuji, Ardan: "Obviously!!"

Whoa! They harmonized…

Rice: "Rice wants Onii-sama's dinner too…"

Maurice: "…Is it that good?"

Arrow: "Don't ask —I've never tried it. But if those five are that in sync, it's gotta be amazing."

Bakushin-O: "I saw Trainer-san's cooking at camp once—it looked incredible! Air Groove-san's lucky to have eaten it two years in a row!"

Rice: "Rice has had it, and it's super yummy! Onii-sama says it's no big deal, but it's really yummy♪"

It's that good…? I wanna try it.

Hachiman: "Anyway! No camp this year! I'll think about the dinner later! eting over! Training ti!"

Afterword

Maurice shines in this Yahari x Uma Musu chapter, hyped for training and awed by Hachiman's care. Fuji's big decision looms, and the team's obsessed with his cooking—sorry, no camp dinner! Maurice, stay that eager spark!
