Uma Musume: Wine Red Chapter 157: Surrounded by Wolves

"Sigh… Fucking Goddesses damn it…"

The young man walked out of the StuCo office with a massive baggage on his shoulders. The StuCo executive has issued an ultimatum that would put his life in jeopardy. The public would tear him out if the Emperor posts that she is engaged with him, and that does not take into account the Empress and the Shadow Monster. He would be Japan's number one assassination target if the 3 of them dropped the bombs at the sa ti.

What do I do? What do I do? I can't simply break up with her and reset my progress to zero. I would've been spending my money for nothing!!!

"KUUUHH!!!"

"Fufufufu~~ I understand your frustration, trainer Igo Heita."

"Huh?"

The young man turns around and sees the Gorilla coming at him.

"Gentildonna, what are you doing here?"

"You look frustrated. Is it wrong for to try to help?"

"This is an adult problem. You don't need to get yourself involved in it, schoolgirl."

"Oh~? That makes want to know it even more. Do tell."

"No. You're a student, and I'm a trainer. There are things where we shouldn't stick our noses into."

"You heard him. Move, barbaric beast."

To the surprise of the pair, a new voice entered the conversation. From the tone and arrogance in her voice, there can only be one umamusu whose voice this is.

"Morning to you, too, Spoiled Tyrant."

"Oh… Please don't do this here. You both can flirt sowhere where I'm not present."

The Golden Tyrant, Orfevre, walks into the conversation with her usual aura of arrogance. Behind her, one can see several umamusus who followed the tyrant as her servants.

"Your mouth is as brash as I rember it being, Igo Heita."

"I have a lot on my mind at the mont. A quarrel between you two is the last thing I need right now."

"A single loss and you're already on your knees. Perhaps you are not as hardened as I first thought."

"Sigh… It's not that, Tyrant. I have sothing else on my mind."

"Indeed. He is not like you, who is on the edge of not being able to use the Halo rule, Tyrant. His win rate is still comfortably above eighty per cent."

"..."

The air thickens after Gentildonna's comnt. The Tyrant's ears bend backward, and her feet are scratching the floor. True to Gentildonna's comnt, Orfevre is using a special rule called 'Halo Rule' that allows an umamusu to participate in races without a trainer only if their win-to-lose ratio is 80% or higher.

The Tyrant's current race record isn't doing as great as last year. She won the Triple Crown and several G1 races, which improved her standing as a runner. But with every positive cos a negative. The Tyrant's popularity and notoriety make her a target for anyone trying to make a na for themselves. Strong runner after strong runner would specifically enter the race Orfevre is attending just to defeat her. This has pushed the Tyrant's race record to the verge of the 80% winrate threshold.

"Don't get too cocky."

"Show the reason, my Spoiled Tyrant."

While the 2 monsters are arguing, the young man tries to sneak away. Sadly for him, the monsters aren't having it. They grabbed the young man by his arms before he could make any aningful progress in his escape.

"And where do you think you're going, Mister?"

"You'd better clean up after your ss, Igo Heita."

I didn't do anything!!! It's your problem!!! Deal with it on your own!!

"I believe this bad blood can only be resolved with a proper conversation between the two of you. As an educator, I must realise when I need to sit one out and leave it for the students to resolve."

"I don't know why… But hearing you calling yourself an educator almost makes puke."

"Indeed. No amount of strength could help soone after hearing such a horrible combination of words."

"And what would those words be?"

Oh!! For the love of the Goddesses!! What the fuck is up with my luck today?!?!?

As if to shit on the young man even further, a third headache enters the fray. Supporting deep brown hair that flows down her back and spreads out at the end, the new umamusu invades the conversation bubble with zero regard for anyone but herself. Her face is frad by fang-like hair on either side to keep the attention on her confident smile. Her red eyes almost look like a complete reflection of the young man's, with the amount of self-confidence they're exuding.

"Sirius Symboli, to what do I owe you the pleasure?"

"I was simply walking by with my girls and noticed the commotion. Seems sothing interesting is going on here. Mind if I put myself into this whole debacle?"

You're already in, you stupid bitch!! There's no point in asking now!! Gah!! Whatever!! I'll say my goodbye and fuck off then instead of sneaking away!

"What a marvellous coincidence, Sirius Symboli. I believe this situation is ant to be handled by students, and you're the perfect umamusu to handle this situation. I shall leave it to you and excuse myself."

*Grab*

"Aren't you the trainer Rudolph currently has her eyes on?"

Oh!! For goodness sake!! JUST FUCK ALREADY!!

"I've been wanting to talk with you. Lucky you. Let's go sowhere more appropriate, shall we?"

Symboli Rudolph… I will cuck you. I swear upon my own life that I will cuck you for this.
