I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 231 230: Fuji Kiseki Arc - Training and a Phone Call

CB's POV

Rice: "Yaaaaa!!!"

Fuji: "Haaaaa!!!"

McQueen: "Haaaaa!!!"

Arrow: "Keep going!!!"

Oguri: "Tch! …Hmph!!"

Wow~ Ever since Hachiman added those two to training, the nu's gotten so diverse. Especially for Fuji—McQueen's joined her, so she's really focusing on long-distance. I join sotis, but I don't have their talent. Arrow's got Oguri training with her too. Oguri's a chaser or leader, perfect for practicing pursuit.

Beep!

Hachiman: "…"

Fuji: "Haa… haa… haa… Hachiman-san, how was it? Haa… Ti?"

Hachiman: "You held up well against them, but it's still a bit lacking."

Fuji: "Haa… haa… Got it."

Hachiman: "That's only if you had the aptitude. You're running more than enough. Against your generation, with the right race flow, you could pull ahead."

Fuji: "R-Really!?"

Hachiman: "Yeah. Depends on the gate. Inside's lucky, but outside… your chances thin. Last race proved you can handle 2400m outside, but a third-corner sprint is iffy. Best to conserve inside, then explode at the mid-corner."

Fuji: "…"

Hachiman: "Just the ideal, though. 'Hachiman-san, one more!' Huh? O-Okay…"

Fuji: "McQueen, Rice, one more at the sa distance, please?"

McQueen: "Very well."

Rice: "Y-Yeah!"

Fuji's dead serious about winning… Alright, I gotta step up too! Everyone's so fired up, it makes you want to train~♪

Maurice: "Haa… haa… Couldn't catch up again!"

Bakushin-O: "No, no! That was close! You're definitely faster!! So, what now? Break?"

Maurice: "One more, please!"

Bakushin-O: "That's the spirit!! One more, then we rest!!"

Maurice: "Yes!!"

Hachiman: "Didn't expect Bakushin-O to pace herself… She's a sprinter trying long-distance. Maurice's shaping up too."

Ardan: "Yes, she's almost matching Bakushin-O-san. She'll do well in her debut."

Hachiman: "Yeah, Kyoto's next. Can't wait."

After Training

Hachiman: "Thanks, McQueen, Oguri. Big help today."

Oguri: "No problem. Call anyti. Glad to help."

McQueen: "I've… caused you trouble, Trainer-san, so I'm happy to contribute."

Hachiman: "Well, probably more to co."

McQueen: "Ugh…"

Weren't these two the ones begging Hachiman for food and sweets? His cooking's amazing, so I get it~

Hachiman: "Alright, that's it for today. Head straight—[♪~♪~] Hm, phone?"

Okay~ Ti to head ho—'Hey~ Can I stay over the day before the Chrysanthemum Sho?' …Huh?

Hachiman: "…Sorry to cut you off, but can I call back? I'm sensing a dangerous vibe behind , and I need to deal with it. I'll call later."

Air Groove: "…" eyes off

Fuji: "…" eyes off

CB: "…" eyes off

Rice: "Ugh…" teary

So? Care to explain, Hachiman?

Hachiman: "Phew… I'll explain, so listen calmly? No need to restrain —I won't run."

Air Groove: "Fine, explain. I trust it's not a woman, but just in case."

Fuji: "Hachiman-san? Who was that on the phone?"

CB: "So? Who's the woman on the phone?"

Rice: "O-Onii-sama… Who was it?"

Hachiman: "Sigh… My sister."

Everyone: "Huh, sister?"

Hachiman: "Yeah, probably wants to watch the Chrysanthemum Sho. She's my real sister. Any issue?"

Air Groove: "…No issue. Sorry for doubting you."

Fuji: "Oh, that's all? Sorry, Hachiman-san, no problem at all."

Rice: "Onii-sama's sister…"

CB: "W-Well? I totally believed you~"

Hachiman: "Liar. Your voice was the scariest."

What're you talking about~?

Afterword

Training heats up in this Yahari x Uma Musu chapter! Fuji pushes for the Chrysanthemum Sho with McQueen and Rice, while a phone call sparks team suspicion—until Hachiman reveals it's his sister. Crisis averted!
