I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 252 - 251: Trial?

Fuji Side

We're gathered in the room we're staying in. I wanted to talk to CB and Air Groove about what happened in the living room. I had to know what that was about! I was so flustered!

Fuji: "So, what was that all about? You did it on purpose, right?"

CB: "Well~ you know?" smirk

Fuji: "Don't play dumb!"

Air Groove: "What did you expect? Two months since the Kikuka-sho, and no progress because you're too shy. We had to step in. You should be thanking us, not scolding us."

Fuji: "…Air Groove, why're you acting so high and mighty?"

Air Groove: "What have you done with Yahagi these past two months? We're cheering for you since you realized your feelings, but you're not just stagnant—you're doing nothing!"

Fuji: "I-I can't help it! I get… nervous around Yahagi-san ///"

CB: "Air Groove, Fuji's totally a romance noob."

Fuji: "Romance noob!?"

CB: "Just do what I do! Grab his arm, go for it! It's not embarrassing if you're bold. I do it all the ti, no sha!"

Fuji: "That's because you're used to it!"

CB: "So do it every day!"

Fuji: "…T-That's a bit ///"

Air Groove: "Where's that charm you use on the pony girls, calling them 'chan'? Where's that Fuji?"

Fuji: "I'm not charming them!"

Air Groove: "Point is, you need to step up. Stay like this, and soone else might snatch him. He's given up, but if others catch wind, they'll see their chance."

Fuji: "I-I don't want that, but… ///"

CB: "Ugh, so frustrating!! Today's tasks: hug Yahagi, touch him, use his lap as a pillow! Fail, and you write a reflection!!"

Fuji: "What!?"

CB: "Your mission for today!! No carryovers to tomorrow! No objections, questions, or backtalk!!"

Fuji: "That's tyranny!!"

Air Groove: "You won't do anything without a push like this. I hadn't heard the tasks before, but if we're doing it, go all out."

Fuji: "That's your line, isn't it!?"

Fuji Side Out

Yahagi Side

Yahagi: "…What're they yelling about? Can't hear details, but they're arguing loud enough. Should I check?"

Rin: "Leave it, Yahagi. Uma Musu… no, girls have their things."

Yahagi: "…Alright."

Komachi: "Onii-chan, you really not getting married?"

Yahagi: "What? You know I'm a trainer. Think I have ti for romance?"

Komachi: "You've got tons of choices at Tracen Academy."

Yahagi: "They're students, Komachi. You broken? I gave up on that ages ago."

Komachi: "Thought you might have a shot now… (Maybe he's got soone crushing on him without knowing?)"

Naoto: "No colleagues? There's gotta be a female trainer or two."

Yahagi: "Sure, but no half-assed trainer drops work for love."

Naoto: "Didn't an it like that…"

Yahagi: "Dad, I'm 28, almost 30. A trainer might have hope, but who'd want a shady-eyed guy like ? Plus, I'm with students daily—impossible."

Rin: "That's… weirdly convincing."

I've given up, after all.

Komachi: "What about the girls you train? They're great. No plans to make a move?"

Yahagi: "Like I said, no way I'd think that about students."

Komachi: "Hmm…"

No clue why we're on this topic, but I don't care about myself. Thanks to Sensei, I beca a trainer. I owe him and want to help the Uma Musu thrive. Marriage or my own stuff? Secondary.

Door opens

CB: "Hachiman, got a sec?"

Yahagi: "CB… all of you ca down? I heard you arguing—what was that about?"

CB: "Chill, Hachiman. First… lend your lap?"

Yahagi: "What're you saying seconds after walking in?"

CB: "Got it~♪" plops

Yahagi: "I didn't agree…"

CB: "C'mon~ Your lap's so comfy~ Better than my pillow, can't help it!"

Yahagi: "That's not okay…"

CB: "Mmm, so nice~♪ (You watching, Fuji? This is how it's done.)"

Fuji: (No way I could say that!!)

Air Groove: (…Even I couldn't pull that off.)

Can Fuji clear her mission in one day!?
