I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 310 - 309 Fuji Kiseki’s Strict Orders: "Rest Properl

(Perspective: Hachiman)

Hachiman: "..." (Clack, clack, clack)

With training wrapped up for the day, I found myself in the rare position of typing away at a computer in the Trainer's Room. I was currently drafting training nus for the unassigned Uma Musu.

I had taken a look at the nus created by the instructors once before, but they were lacking. To put it bluntly, they were regins that barely scraped by with a passing grade. Depending on the girl's personality, so might rebel against such lackluster drills, while others might ignore them entirely. That's why, once every two weeks, I stepped in to create the nus myself.

Once a month, I review the instructors' work and offer corrections. The plan is that once I feel they're up to scratch, I'll withdraw from nu creation entirely. I an, it's exhausting, right? Ever since I ford my own team, I've beco incredibly busy. I have zero free ti as it is.

Hachiman: "I could just reuse old nus, but they'd definitely get bored of them. Maybe I should have just made a stockpile and handed them over..."

Knock, knock, knock.

Hachiman: "Hm? Co in."

Fuji Kiseki: "Pardon the intrusion, Hachiman-san."

Hachiman: "Oh, Fuji... What's up?"

Fuji Kiseki: "No big reason. I was just wondering how you were doing, so I ca to check on you. So, what are you up to? It's rare to see you using the computer..."

Hachiman: "nus for the unassigned girls."

Fuji Kiseki: "Are you okay, Hachiman-san? You've looked incredibly busy lately. are you getting any rest?"

Hachiman: "It's hit or miss. Since October started, the team mbers have moved into full-scale operation, and naturally, the workload increases with a team. The G1 races continue through November and December, so you could say this season is the critical mont."

Fuji Kiseki: "I know saying this might not offer much comfort, but please don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

Hachiman: "I rest when I can, so I'm fine."

I wasn't lying. I make it a point not to overwork myself more than necessary. I even make sure to take power naps before training sessions.

Fuji Kiseki: "Well, I don't see any energy drinks on your desk or around you, so I suppose you aren't pushing yourself to the brink."

Hachiman: "If Air Groove saw them, she'd just throw them away. Not that I drink them anyway."

Fuji Kiseki: "...Hachiman-san, what is left of your work?"

Hachiman: "Hm? Once I finish creating this nu, I plan to register the race entries for the month after next. So, I'm heading to Hayakawa-san's desk later."

Fuji Kiseki: "Hachiman-san. Once that schedule is cleared, you are going to take a break."

Hachiman: "Huh? I don't mind, but what about you?"

Fuji Kiseki: "I, of course, will stay with you. If I don't, there is a chance you won't actually rest."

Hachiman: "No, no, I'll rest."

Fuji Kiseki: "Yes, and I will have you do exactly that. I'll stay right here, so I'm going to have you rest, even if only for a little while. There's still ti before curfew, after all."

Hachiman: "Do I really have that little credibility?"

Fuji Kiseki: "It's not that. It's just that I haven't seen you taking it easy lately. Just lying down in front of is enough."

Hachiman: "Haa... Fine. Understood."

Fuji didn't look like she was going to budge even if I tried to stall. It seed less troubleso to just fold.

—Several Tens of Minutes Later—

After constructing nus for nearly an hour under Fuji's watchful eye, I finally completed one full regin. I then went to Hayakawa-san and finished registering the race entries for the month after next. Naturally, Fuji tagged along for that too. It's not like I was going to wander off or anything.

Hachiman: "Phew, that's don—"

Fuji Kiseki: "Not yet. Now, Hachiman-san, lie down here."

Hachiman: "...Hey, Fuji. Can I ask you sothing that's been bothering ?"

Fuji Kiseki: "Mm, what is it?"

Hachiman: "To , 'here' looks an awful lot like the sofa you are currently sitting on."

Fuji Kiseki: "Yes, that is correct. Is there a problem?"

Hachiman: "Are you going to move?"

Fuji Kiseki: "If I move, you won't have a pillow. Therefore, my lap will serve as your pillow."

Hachiman: "No, that's definitely out. I can't do that."

Fuji Kiseki: "In that case, are you saying that sleeping together would be acceptable?"

Hachiman: "No, that's not the issue either."

Fuji Kiseki: "Hachiman-san... if you continue to be difficult... we might have to resort to brute force, you know?"

Hachiman: "..."

...No escape, huh?

Wait, if I leave this room, maybe I have a one-chan—

(Telepathic Vibe from Fuji: "Don't even think about leaving the room. I will chase you.")

...Yeah, never mind.

Hachiman: "Alright. I'll borrow your knees."

Fuji Kiseki: "Mhm. Go ahead ♪."

I lay down on the sofa and placed my head on Fuji's lap. Imdiately, Fuji peered down into my face.

Fuji Kiseki: "How does it feel?"

Hachiman: "It's my first ti getting a knee pillow, so I don't have a fra of reference... but I wonder why? It feels... perfect."

Fuji Kiseki: "Fufufu, I'm glad to hear that ♪."

Hachiman: "..."

Fuji Kiseki: "..." (Stare)

Hachiman: "...Why are you looking at like that?"

Fuji Kiseki: "I suppose I'll watch until you fall asleep."

Hachiman: "I can't sleep like this. Give a break, I can't sleep while being watched."

Fuji Kiseki: "But I'm already used to seeing it? Your sleeping face."

Hachiman: "...Co to think of it, have I slept around you twice? The hammock and my apartnt... but if you include the Derby and my parents' house, it's more than that."

Fuji Kiseki: "We've surprisingly slept together quite a few tis, haven't we? Even with Air Groove, it was just that one ti during the Arima Commoration, right?"

Hachiman: "Even then, we were in separate rooms. The only one I've actually slept next to—past or future—is you, so far."

Fuji Kiseki: "Is that so...? Then I'll have to make sure you aren't taken away. I want to make that my exclusive privilege."

Hachiman: "...You realize the implication of what you just said?"

Fuji Kiseki: "...Well now, I wonder? (Wait, what did I do!!? I just said it without thinking!! No, I didn't an it consciously, but... th-this is embarrassing!!) More importantly, why don't you close your eyelids and take a little trip into your dreams?"

Hachiman: "Yeah, yeah. Understood."

It doesn't look like she's going to let go until I get so shut-eye. Guess I have no choice but to sleep for a bit.
