Uma Musume: Why Do We, Horse Trainers, Still Have To Train Uma Musume? Chapter 155 155: Fumino Nase: Life Is Miserable When Two Uma

"Huff… huff… huff…"

"Just keep going, just keep going. The Tenno Sho is going to be fine, it's definitely going to be fine."

At this mont, isho Doto was in a training facility, working on her stamina and power.

Her training regin with T.M. Opera O, apart from their daily joint runs, had basically diverged completely.

isho Doto was gradually finding her own area of expertise—her power.

Perhaps isho Doto was not as good as T.M. Opera O in terms of speed and wit during a race, but her power was undeniably superior to T.M. Opera O's.

She might not be able to achieve T.M. Opera O's final spurt skills, but she could surpass T.M. Opera O in the power of her physique, developed through specialized training.

As long as she gained an advantage in power, she could quickly occupy a more favorable position on the track. The 2000-ter Tenno Sho (Autumn) posed no difficulty for isho Doto's stamina.

Hell, if isho Doto were to participate in the Kikuka Sho, she could easily run the 3000-ter long-distance race.

However, middle-distance races required isho Doto to further train her strength, providing her with more powerful acceleration.

When running in a straight, almost no other Uma Musu from her generation could compare to isho Doto.

This was the build Wada had designed for isho Doto.

After her transformation following the Japanese Derby, isho Doto's growth speed also beca astonishing—though not as terrifying an improvent as T.M. Opera O's, she was making steady progress.

Especially in her control over Aura, isho Doto actually surpassed T.M. Opera O in that area now.

Now, she was an expert at manipulating her Aura, unlike early Orfevre, who relied on pure feels to unleash it; isho Doto could do it at will.

She had also briefly entered an elevated "realm" like T.M. Opera O; however, it was so brief that even isho Doto thought it was rely a dream, but she still gained benefits from it as she managed to undergo a huge change.

Just as she had told Wada, she now had the courage to support herself. On the track, she would no longer fear any challenges.

"Huff—ti's up."

Another set of training had finished. isho Doto stood up and stretched her body in exhaustion.

There were no other Uma Musu in the training facility yet, allowing isho Doto to train with full concentration, which was an excellent environnt for her.

Just as isho Doto was about to rest before doing her last set, the door suddenly opened, and Fumino Nase arrived.

"isho Doto? I'd like to talk to you, can I take a mont of your ti?"

"Huh? Trainer Nase… Yes, you can."

isho Doto hadn't expected Fumino Nase to seek her out. She was slightly puzzled but obediently stepped forward and asked,

"Trainer Nase, is there sothing wrong?"

"Yes, it's about T.M. Opera O."

Trainer Fumino saw that isho Doto's attitude was, as expected, much better than T.M. Opera O's, and she felt a good deal of relief.

It seed that she hadn't done anything wrong, so it's probably just so misunderstanding between her and T.M. Opera O.

As a mber of Team Miracle, Fumino Nase hoped to have good relationships with all the Uma Musu.

Moreover, as a Trainer herself, she knew very well that the relationship between a Trainer and an Uma Musu was crucial—she didn't want to make such a mistake.

Although she was currently just acting as an assistant, an assistant also handled so of a Trainer's duties.

Fumino Nase had never fully considered herself just the team's assistant; she was also a Trainer, just a "Trainer who doesn't have an Uma Musu."

"isho Doto… can I just call you Doto? I've noticed Trainer Wada calls you that."

"Uh… it's fine." isho Doto, hearing this, still a little timid, nodded and said,'

"Trainer Nase is also a Trainer, so you can call whatever you like."

"So, regarding T.M. Opera O… is there anything Trainer Nase wants to ask?"

"…It might sound strange, but I think T.M. Opera O dislikes ." Trainer Nase Fumino said to isho Doto with a sense of helplessness,

"I have no idea why, but I'm sure she dislikes . I just wanted to ask you, since you're T.M. Opera O's friend, if you have any idea why."

"Huh… T.M. Opera O disliking soone… I've never heard of that before…"

isho Doto also found it a bit strange when she heard this, but as she t Trainer Fumino's subtle gaze, she imdiately waved her hands nervously, saying:

"I- I'm not saying that Trainer Nase is annoying! I'm just saying it's really rare for T.M. Opera O to dislike anyone… No, no, no, what I an is…"

"…No need to say more, I understand."

Fumino Nase saw isho Doto looking as if she was about to cry from nervousness, and she really couldn't press her any further. She just continued to ask:

"As a mber of this team, I do hope to maintain a good relationship with everyone."

"I have never thought that my position in your hearts could surpass your Trainer's, but at least I hope I can give you so help."

"But it seems there's been a small hiccup in that regard, so isho Doto, I hope you can help with it. Is there any way I can nd my relationship with T.M. Opera O?"

"Hmm… I rember T.M. Opera O saying that the school's opera performance still needs so help… I think, Trainer Nase, you could try…"

However, as isho Doto spoke, she noticed Fumino Nase's expression starting to beco strange, and she imdiately corrected herself:

"I'm sorry… please disregard what I just said…"

Asking Fumino Nase to help with an opera performance—isho Doto didn't know how she even thought of that. Tracen's operas was sothing where the participants were usually quite fixed.

Besides T.M. Opera O and isho Doto, who was willing to help voluntarily, it was mostly Uma Musu who liked to be on stage like Fine Motion, Fuji Kiseki, and sotis Maruzensky who would perform.

And to ask Fumino Nase, such a talented Trainer, to participate in sothing like that… it seed strange no matter how she thought about it.

"No, I'm not angry, I just feel that I'm probably not very good at that kind of thing…"

Fumino Nase sighed helplessly. She didn't dislike such performances.

If it didn't affect her work, she would be willing to do anything that didn't violate her bottom line, but unfortunately, this was indeed not her forte.

Perhaps she could look for other ways. Next step… she should just ask Wada.

But regardless, isho Doto had given Fumino Nase a good deal of help this ti.

At that mont, Fumino Nase, whose mood was slightly less than pleasant due to being disliked by T.M. Opera O, smiled faintly and reached out her hand towards isho Doto's small head.

However, isho Doto's usually gentle eyes suddenly narrowed at her extended hand.

Instantly, an extrely strong and agitated Aura swept through the room, making Fumino Nase halt her movent completely.

"Ah—I- I'm sorry!"

isho Doto, realizing what she had done, reacted belatedly, startled that she had unconsciously used her Aura.

She imdiately stopped, but still couldn't help but instinctively retreat several steps, covering her head as if startled.

Her subconscious actions… clearly indicated her aning: she didn't want Fumino Nase to pat her head…

Or rather… she didn't want her head to be casually ruffled by others, because in isho Doto's impression, only her Trainer, or close friends could do that.

Therefore, when Fumino Nase instinctively made the sa gesture, isho Doto imdiately reacted and showed extrely strong resistance

This was a kind of animal-like vigilance, a wariness towards soone she wasn't familiar with or didn't acknowledge approaching her suddenly.

But isho Doto also knew her actions were wrong. After all, Fumino Nase was her Trainer's assistant and a mber from their Team.

But… isho Doto just couldn't control herself, that feeling of resistance.

"That, I- I don't dislike it, but, but I—"

"—I, I'M SORRYYYY!!"

In the end, isho Doto, unable to explain her actions, chose to flee in a hurry, leaving Fumino Nase alone and bewildered in the training room.

After a long while, she murmured to herself:

"It seems I really am disliked… by everyone."
