I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 251 - 250: Shy

Fuji Side

We're back at the house after the café, preparing lunch with Yahagi-san. It's just leftovers from yesterday, so it's not much work. Still, doing this with Yahagi-san… feels really nice.

Air Groove: "…"

CB: "…"

Air Groove: "…CB-senpai."

CB: "Yeah, Air Groove."

Air Groove: "It's been months since the Kikuka-sho…"

CB: "And Fuji's so shy, there's been…"

Both: "No progress at all!!" whisper

Air Groove: "Fuji's aware of her feelings, but two months and nothing!" whisper

CB: "Where's that charm she uses on us and the fan club? Why's she so shy with Yahagi!? It's unreal!" whisper

Air Groove: "Exactly. I thought she'd at least cling to his arm, but to end the year without even that?" whisper

CB: "Right. I thought they'd get closer, but nada! Is Fuji… a total romance noob?" whisper

Air Groove: "No doubt."

Yahagi: "Food's ready… What're you two doing?"

Air Groove: "! Nothing, just chatting. Don't mind us."

Fuji: "Really? Here's your share."

CB: "Sweet, been waiting!♪"

Wonder what they were talking about, but I'll let it go. Lunch ti.

Yahagi: "Let's eat."

Air/Fuji/CB: "Sure." / "Yup!" / "Here we go!♪"

After Dinner

Air Groove: "We'll handle cleanup."

CB: "Leave it to us~!"

Yahagi: "You can relax."

CB: "Nah, you cooked, so we'll clean. Right?"

Yahagi: "…Alright, thanks."

Fuji: "Yahagi-san, you should rest. You only relax on days like this, right?"

Yahagi: "Not really—'Don't lie. You go to the trainer's room on days off to plan nus, even for unassigned girls.' Ugh… you knew?"

Air Groove: "I'm student council vice president. I've seen you deep in thought at school, even on breaks."

So Yahagi-san goes to the academy on his days off… Maybe I'll swing by on light dorm-duty days?

Yahagi: "Wanna watch TV?"

Fuji: "Can I join?"

Yahagi: "Sure."

Click click

Air Groove: "…"

CB: "…"

Air Groove: "Senpai, you know what I'm thinking, right?" whisper

CB: "Oh, totally. It's maddening." whisper

Air Groove: "Fuji's sitting near Yahagi, but…" whisper

CB: "She's keeping her distance!!" whisper

Air Groove: "CB-senpai, I'm fed up. Shall we do sothing?" whisper

CB: "Let's go all out. Air Groove, can I make a move?" whisper

Air Groove: "Yes, after cleanup, please." whisper

CB: "On it!!" whisper

Those two are whispering again?

After Cleanup

Air Groove: "CB-senpai." whisper

CB: "Got it!" whisper

Air Groove: "Yahagi, we're done."

Yahagi: "Nice, thanks."

CB: "I wanna watch TV too! Fuji, scoot over~!" push push

Fuji: "Huh? Oh, okay…"

Air Groove: "Yahagi, mind if I sit here?"

Yahagi: "Uh, sure…"

Cling

Fuji: "!!"

W-Wait? Sothing's touching… Yahagi-san's shoulder? Just his shoulder… Yahagi-san's shoulder!?

Fuji: "U-Um… CB-senpai? Can you scoot a bit more? ///"

CB: "Can't go further~" smirk

Yahagi: "Air Groove, you can't—'You're the host, stay put.' Ugh…"

Fuji: "…///"

I can't focus on the TV… Why's everyone on the sofa!? It's cramped! Senpai, why're you pushing so hard!?

Fuji: "U-Um… ///"

Yahagi: "Why's everyone piling here?"

CB: "Just your imagination~"

Air Groove: "What?"

Fuji: "You both know why! Why're you squishing?"

Air Groove: "What?"

Fuji: "Don't play dumb! You're doing this on purpose, right!?"

CB: "What's that~?" smirk

They totally know! Those smirks! Were they plotting this earlier!?

Air Groove: "She still won't budge… So shy." whisper

Yahagi: "Say sothing?"

Air Groove: "Nothing, just talking."

Yahagi: "Alright."

Fuji, total romance noob?
