The night had grown deep. Without realizing it, the clock had quietly slipped past midnight—ti to rest and sleep.
Yet, in the midst of the dark night, a single tent still shone brightly with lamplight. Inside, four beautiful girls of completely different personalities sat on a soft, spacious bed, excitedly fluffing pillows and arranging blankets while fantasizing about what cozy positions they might use to cuddle up and fall asleep with a certain soone.
Tonight, the four Uma Musu tasked with caring for Mizuno included the mistress Air Groove, along with Symboli Rudolf and Tokai Teio, who'd previously booked their spots. And the final lucky girl was El Condor Pasa, who'd sneakily recorded Mizuno's careless promise earlier.
The mont Air Groove chose El Condor probably went sothing like this…
"By divine decree, imperial command thus states: Student El Condor! Your diligent recording of criminal Trainer Mizuno's offenses is comndable! You are hereby appointed official Imperial Historian! Tonight, you may participate in our imperial sleepover!"
Thus, El Condor Pasa had smoothly obtained tonight's coveted qualification to stay behind and care for Mizuno.
Though the other Uma Musu were privately unhappy about this arrangent, they didn't object too loudly.
Perhaps it was because Air Groove had promised everyone that the Uma Musu responsible for Mizuno's nightly care would rotate daily. aning every girl present had her chance to spend the night with Trainer Mizuno eventually, thus removing the need to compete fiercely.
Or perhaps it was because the girls now had a common enemy—that vile woman nad Kiryuin Aoi!
Thus, the young ladies, who previously glared daggers at each other, unexpectedly united, deciding to temporarily set aside their internal differences and band together against their external enemy. Before Trainer Mizuno was rescued from that vile woman's grasp, nobody could lay a finger on him!
And with everyone's tacit approval, Rudolf, Teio, Air Groove, and El Condor Pasa beca tonight's caretakers responsible for Mizuno.
But under one strict condition:
Absolutely no hugging Trainer Mizuno, and definitely no intimacy allowed!
They must adhere strictly to professional standards—no taking advantage of their positions!
Though Rudolf and the others verbally agreed, they had no intention of following the rules in their hearts.
After all, who could really predict what might happen during a deep sleep? Wasn't it perfectly natural that due to their "already bad" sleeping habits, their bodies might "unconsciously" roll over, ending up "accidentally" nestled into Trainer-san's embrace?
"Trainer-san~ Aren't you finished writing your training plans yet? Co to bed already~" Tokai Teio lay on the bed, legs tightly wrapped around a pillow, softly calling to Mizuno, who still sat at a nearby desk. Her lonely gaze was just like a neglected wife, hoping desperately for her husband to quickly finish work and comfort her.
"......"
The other three girls said nothing but stared fixedly at Mizuno. Their heated gazes felt like sharp needles piercing him, making Mizuno—who seed on the surface to be diligently working but was secretly committing mischief—extrely restless.
"Just… just a bit more, almost done..." Mizuno didn't dare turn around. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his right hand, pretending to write sothing with a pen, was shaking uncontrollably.
Because beneath the desk, hidden from Teio and the others, his left hand was frantically tapping his phone screen, madly sending ssages to Kiryuin Aoi to warn her of the danger he was currently in.
[Chat with "Secret Crush" Kiryuin Aoi]
[Mizuno Sora]: Trainer Kiryuin, are you asleep yet?
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Um… not yet.
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Is there sothing you need at such a late hour, Trainer Mizuno?
[Mizuno Sora]: Yes! I have an extrely important favor to ask! Please agree—it's the request of a lifeti!
[Kiryuin Aoi]: …
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Hold on, let ntally prepare first.
(Five minutes later)
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Okay, go ahead.
[Mizuno Sora]: Actually...
[Mizuno Sora]: I'd like you to act out a play with .
[Kiryuin Aoi]: I think that's moving a bit fast for us. Shouldn't we try dating first, then discuss the future? (ssage deleted imdiately)
[Kiryuin Aoi]: What type of play are you referring to exactly?
[Mizuno Sora]: …
[Mizuno Sora]: Didn't you just delete sothing?
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Sorry. I assud you were going to confess to like the other colleagues who text late at night.
[Mizuno Sora]: Er… well, you're not entirely wrong…
[Mizuno Sora]: Actually, I'm going to pursue you from now on.
[Kiryuin Aoi]: ?
[Mizuno Sora]: But don't misunderstand! It's just an act! I need your cooperation!
[Kiryuin Aoi]: …
[Kiryuin Aoi]: I don't really understand your aning.
[Mizuno Sora]: Simply put, over the next year, I'll occasionally confess and show interest, but you absolutely must reject every single ti.
[Kiryuin Aoi]: …
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Could it be that your family is pressuring you to get married, but since you don't want to settle down yet, you're pretending to like and pursue just to appease them?
"......" Mizuno paused, sneaking a glance over his shoulder at the four Uma Musu still waiting patiently on the bed, and involuntarily shuddered. He turned back to continue ssaging Kiryuin Aoi.
[Mizuno Sora]: Sothing like that...
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Such a vague answer won't do!
[Kiryuin Aoi]: If you don't clearly explain the situation, I won't know exactly which girl you're trying to avoid, and then I can't help you effectively.
[Mizuno Sora]: …
[Mizuno Sora]: Alright, I'll be completely honest.
[Mizuno Sora]: I've been liked by Uma Musu! I'm troubled by how to gently reject them without causing emotional outbursts!
[Kiryuin Aoi]: I see. Being liked by your own students certainly is troubleso—especially when they're Uma Musu.
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Growing up as a Kiryuin trainer, I often heard from my parents that Uma Musu who had their confessions directly rejected usually ended up abducting their trainers and vanishing from the world together.
[Kiryuin Aoi]: So I suppose it makes sense for you to pretend you already have soone you like, to discourage them in advance…
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Well then, which student has feelings for you? Rice Shower-san? Or perhaps Tokai Teio-san?
[Mizuno Sora]: Rice Shower is fine, but Tokai Teio is a serious problem!
[Mizuno Sora]: Aside from her, King Halo-san and jiro McQueen-san have interest too. And two new mbers joined my team recently; I can't fully understand their intentions, but there seem to be problems there as well…
[Mizuno Sora]: Wait! There are three other Uma Musu not even from my team!
[Mizuno Sora]: Roughly counting, the Uma Musu who seem interested in number about… eight!
[Kiryuin Aoi]: ......
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Trainer Mizuno… Are you sure this wasn't intentional?
[Kiryuin Aoi]: How exactly did you manage—in only a few months after joining Tracen—to conquer over half of your own team, and even Uma Musu from other teams?
[Mizuno Sora]: Gua! How should I know?!
[Mizuno Sora]: I've been the most careful rookie trainer, strictly following all the seniors' warnings and keeping a safe distance from every Uma Musu! But it was totally useless, and now I'm even worse off!
[Mizuno Sora]: So please, Trainer Kiryuin, you must help ! Otherwise, I'll never see tomorrow's sunrise again!
[Mizuno Sora]: I beg you, I'll do anything!
[Kiryuin Aoi]: …
[Kiryuin Aoi]: Let think about it so more. I'll reply tomorrow…
"Trainer-san~ aren't you finished yet?" Tokai Teio's sweet voice ca from behind again.
"All right, all right!" Mizuno hurriedly hid his phone, then slowly organized his ssy desk like a news anchor wrapping up a broadcast, pretending he'd just completed his work.
"Yay~!" Teio cheered, imdiately releasing the pillow substitute in her arms and leaping off the bed, running barefoot across the room towards Mizuno.
"Ti to sleep with Trainer-san~!"
"......."
Mizuno helplessly watched himself get effortlessly picked up by Tokai Teio and carried off towards the big bed where three other Uma Musu eagerly awaited, like a delicious al being served on a platter, ready to be devoured by hungry guests…
Mizuno bit his lip miserably, tears nearly flowing.
Trainer Kiryuin! Please—you must agree!
