Uma Musume: Why Do We, Horse Trainers, Still Have To Train Uma Musume? Chapter 158 158: The Meeting Seems To Have Not Been Pleasant

"...Wada Ryuji, hmm... that na rings a bell."

After an unknown amount of ti, just as Wada was thinking about how screwed he was, Nase's father's voice finally ca faintly from the other end of the phone.

In the video, the dead-panned middle-aged man, who was clearly a pretty stern person, narrowed his eyes and spoke to Wada:

"Ah right, you are one of the three new Trainers at Tracen Academy. I watched the races of the Uma Musu you were in charge of... isho Doto and T.M. Opera O, was it?"

"Very good. As a new Trainer, you are quite talented."

"Um... thank you for the complint, senior?" Wada seed surprised by Nase's father's unexpectedly non-confrontational attitude, which caused him to relax a bit.

Although he didn't know what was happening, it was good that at the very least, her father still seed calm...

What Wada was most worried about right now was that Nase's father would be the typical overprotective parent, who doted on his precious daughter to an almost obsessive degree.

Such fathers were not uncommon, very strict, with a strong desire to control their family.

This was especially so in Japan where they even completely forbid their family mbers from interacting with outsiders, and are also irritable themselves.

They call it 'dignity,' but really they just liked being controlling assholes.

Fortunately, however, Nase's father did not seem to be such a father, which relieved Wada considerably.

"Your thanks is acknowledged, but I'm not here to complint you. I'm here to ask about my daughter. Can you explain why you are with my daughter?"

"And, Nase, you never said you had a male friend, nor did you say you returned to Tracen Academy and brought a student."

Hidehito Nase's barrage of questions left Fumino Nase, who was still half-drunk and half-awake, at a loss for how to explain.

She turned her head blankly to look at Wada, hoping he could explain on her behalf.

'Why are you looking at ? Girl, I don't want to die young!'

Wada also noticed Fumino's gaze, and his pressure instantly doubled. He could only bare himself as he took Fumino Nase's phone, saying:

"Um... your daughter might not have had ti to tell you, but she has indeed returned to Tracen Academy to work... and is temporarily under a team which I'm also a part of."

"You should have heard of it, but our team is..."

"—I know, Team Miracle. It's a three Trainer team, right? I also know the nas of the other two." Hidehito Nase unceremoniously interrupted Wada, saying calmly:

"So, my daughter joined your team and even beca your teacher? Is she the leader of the team now?"

"Uh... not yet." Wada's tone paused, and he answered awkwardly:

"But your esteed daughter is an indispensable part of our team, and a mber we all respect. She is an excellent Trainer, and we all agree on that."

Although Fumino Nase undoubtedly had the ability to be the leader in almost any team, it wasn't possible within their team, because whether it was Imanami, Ikezoe, or Wada, their abilities were either higher than Fumino's, or not far off.

Though Wada indeed needed Fumino Nase's guidance, it was only about foreign races; if it ca down to a regular old race, it's hard to say who would win.

Of course, Wada did not tell him that, although his daughter was nominally his ntor, she was actually also Wada's assistant.

Such words would probably be unacceptable to a father who regarded his young and promising daughter as his pride.

Therefore, Wada cleverly skipped this part of the conversation, and Hidehito Nase's gradually relaxed brows also made Wada breathe a sigh of relief.

"...Since you are friends, I won't ask too many questions."

"Nase, you're drunk today, so I won't say much, but tomorrow when you sober up, I'm expecting you to catch up to speed with everything."

"You'd best not hide anything from ."

"That's all for now. See you tomorrow."

With that, Hidehito Nase proactively hung up the call, and Wada also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this mont, Fumino Nase, leaning against Wada, had sohow already fallen into a deep sleep, once again entering a drunken state.

'Is he your father or am I your father?' Wada watched Fumino Nase, his mind filled with unknown thoughts; he then silently opened Fumino Nase's phone and scrolled through her contact list.

Since Nase had unlocked her phone earlier to answer the call, it saved Wada the trouble of having to call isho Doto this late for Super Creek's number.

Before long, Wada successfully found the na "Super Creek" on Fumino's phone. After he dialed the number, the call finally connected.

"Hello? Trainer? It's late already, do you need sothing?"

"Yes, is this Super Creek? I'm Trainer Wada. Um, your Trainer and I are together right now." Wada glanced at the sweetly sleeping Fumino Nase beside him and patiently said:

"She's drunk right now. I'll send you the location. Can you help take her to the dorm?"

"Eh? Trainer Wada... are you with Trainer?"

Super Creek's extrely surprised tone ca from the other end of the phone, but soon, Wada heard her say:

"I'll be there very soon. So, Trainer Wada, please help look after Trainer for a bit."

...A full forty minutes later, just as Wada was starting to get bored of just scrolling on his phone, a taxi slowly pulled up in front of Wada.

From it, Super Creek's figure, comparable to isho Doto's, completely occupied Wada's depth of field.

Fortunately, because of isho Doto, Wada had already developed immunity to such a mature figure and had completely learned to remain composed.

"Trainer Wada."

Upon seeing Wada and the drunken Fumino Nase, Super Creek also breathed a sigh of relief and imdiately walked over to ask:

"Is Trainer alright?"

"She's sleeping soundly, I think she's fine." Wada, glancing at Fumino Nase still leaning on his shoulder, said calmly:

"Give her so water when you get back, and rember to make her sleep on her side; otherwise, if she vomits tonight, she'll have a terrible ti."

"Thank you, Trainer Wada."

Super Creek imdiately took Fumino Nase from Wada's hands.

Unexpectedly, although Fumino Nase was asleep, her grip on Wada was surprisingly strong.

Super Creek tried several tis before using a bit of force to make Fumino Nase's fingers release Wada's clothes.

"...This is my first ti seeing Trainer drunk. She's always been very dignified and serious."

Super Creek carried Fumino Nase's body in her arms. As an Uma Musu, such a simple action was no problem for her, but she said to Wada with a hint of a smile:

"I've never seen Trainer drunk before, Trainer Wada. You might be the first person to drink with Trainer."

"The first ti taking care of a drunkard is not sothing to cherish. There's nothing but suffering."

Wada waved his hand, feeling no honor about it.

Whether it was taking care of a beautiful woman or a man, if a drunkard passed out, they were always difficult to handle. Wada had long experienced this deeply.

Wada's disgusted expression, however, sowhat surprised Super Creek.

One should know that Fumino Nase was a very famous beauty at Tracen Academy, with countless suitors.

If anyone had the experience of drinking with Fumino Nase, they would undoubtedly brag about it for a long ti.

Super Creek wasn't worried about her Trainer, because she knew her Trainer was very straightforward in social interactions, with almost no one she was particularly familiar with besides herself.

And now, while she had gained another friend, Wada surprisingly had no covetous intentions towards her Trainer, unlike others.

"...You really are a good person, Trainer Wada."

Super Creek said such an inexplicable sentence to Wada, then carried Fumino Nase into the taxi. Wada watched the taxi slowly leave and only stood up after a long ti.

"Seriously... I never thought Trainer would have a day like this. Tomorrow, I'll have to ask T.M. Opera O and isho Doto what happened."

Wada's the second person out of the three to get three death sentences! Who'll be the one who gets four first?
