I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 330 - 329 An Eternal "Miracle" (Kiseki)

"Fuji-senpaaaaai!!"

"Ahaha... Please don't cry so much, everyone," I soothed them with a smile. "It can't be helped, you know."

"But... B-But...!!"

"When I think about saying goodbye to you, Fuji-senpai... the tears... they just won't stop!!"

"Good grief, what troubleso little ponies you are..." I shook my head, though my voice was soft. "If you're in this state now, what on earth is going to happen when it's your turn to graduate?"

As you have probably gathered, I am graduating from Tracen Academy this year.

I did consider running in the Dream Trophy series after finishing the Twinkle Series. However, rather than pursuing my own limits as a runner, I realized I wanted to move to the supporting side. That is why I decided to graduate.

"But please co back to visit sotis!!"

"And please stay overnight when you do!!"

"And finally, please give a chin-lift and a wall-slam one last ti!!"

"Well, maybe I'll pop by occasionally," I teased. "Oops, look at the ti."

Location: Ritto Dorm - Entrance

"So, this is goodbye to the dorm, too..."

I lived here for a long ti. Now that the mont to leave has actually arrived, a wave of loneliness is welling up inside .

Well then...

"Ritto Dorm, thank you for everything!!" I called out to the building. "You took great care of !"

"Good work, Fuji-senpai!!"

"Take care!!"

"Thank you for everything!!"

"We'll miss you!!"

"Thank you, everyone!!"

I bid farewell to the dorm that had been my ho for so long and left the grounds.

Location: Tracen Academy - Club Room

"Before I leave the academy, I need to say goodbye to this place, too. There are so many places to visit... but that just shows how much support I've received. Besides, this is the precious place where I spent my ti with Yawata-san. I have to say it properly."

I've already greeted the team mbers, so now I just need to make my rounds of the campus.

"Ah, Fuji Kiseki. Making your rounds?"

"President Rudolf..." I nodded. "Sothing like that. Today is the farewell, after all. It's going to be lonely."

"I feel the sa," Rudolf replied, her expression gentle. "I have been supported by you in many ways. You helped imnsely with the dorm and various events... I recall it all as if it were yesterday."

"I was glad to work alongside you, President. I had a truly enjoyable ti."

"Well then, I still have duties to attend to, so I must excuse myself," Rudolf said, straightening her posture. "Fuji Kiseki. I will be praying from the shadows that a bright future awaits you."

"Thank you very much."

Location: Tracen Academy - School Gates

"...Phew."

I won't be commuting here anymore. It really is lonely when the 'ordinary' ceases to be ordinary.

I turned toward the academy and bowed deeply, just as I always have. The days I spent in this school will surely beco a treasure for a lifeti. That is the one thing I can say with absolute certainty.

"Finished with your greetings?"

"Mm," I turned to face him. "Just now."

"...Do you feel lonely?"

"Of course I do. What about you, Yawata-san?"

"I feel a sense of loneliness knowing I won't be able to et you in this form anymore," he admitted, looking at the school. "I know it can't be helped, but... things rarely go the way we want them to."

"It's inevitable. The ti to say goodbye always cos eventually."

"True. We can't stay here forever."

Hearing that Yawata-san felt lonely too... it made happy. I'm sad that I won't be with him here anymore. If possible, I would have liked to stay longer, but I have to determine my own path.

"Right. Shall we go?" he asked.

"Yes..." I extended my hand. "Will you escort , Monsieur?"

"Don't get your hopes up too high, Mademoiselle," he grumbled, though he took my hand.

Location: A Certain House

"We're here."

"Mm. Finally."

Our destination was a detached house. Why are we here? The reason is...

"It's finally happening..." Yawata murmured.

"Yes. My... no, our new life begins in this house."

"Yeah... I guess it does."

That's right. The house before us is a newly built ho where Yawata-san and I will live.

When he spoke so suggestively back at the gate about not eting "in this form," he simply ant we wouldn't be eting as student and trainer at the academy. Now that I've graduated, I'll be commuting to university from this house to study becoming a trainer.

"Phew..." Yawata exhaled, turning to . "Fuji, before we start living here, there is one thing I want to say. I love you. Those feelings haven't changed since the Arima Kinen. If your feelings haven't changed either, I want to fulfill the promise we made back then. What do you say?"

"Of course..." I smiled, stepping closer. "My feelings haven't changed either. I love you, Yawata-san. I've been waiting for this day with all my heart. I wanted to beco your lover as soon as possible."

"Are you sure? I'm just an old guy over thirty, you know."

"It's because it's you, Yawata-san. I fell in love with you, so you're the only one I see."

"...Fuji. From now on, I'm counting on you. Not as trainer and student, but as lovers."

"Mm..." I bead at him. "I'm counting on you too!"

If I'm with Yawata-san, let us go forth and witness a "Miracle"—a Kiseki—that belongs only to us.
