...
"Why is the answer the fourth one?" Haru Urara even struck a pose quite convincingly. "Because 'fat' is obviously used to describe pigs."
Lucian: "You mean pigs are fat, which equals Spe-chan is particularly fat?"
"Trainer, my weight is already well maintained now, no excess fat on my waist!" Special Week said confidently.
"How do you prove it?"
"How to prove..." If it were private, Special Week would just lift her clothes for Lucian to see, or directly let Lucian check by touch.
"Spe-chan, let me touch." Tokai Teio reached through her clothes and pinched Special Week's stomach. "Oh~ Feels pretty good, Spe-chan, how many months?"
"Months?" Special Week was stunned for a while before reacting to what Tokai Teio meant. "Teio, have you been around Trainer too long and got infected?"
"Wait a minute!" Haru Urara interrupted the three's conversation. "Trainer hasn't said how my answer is yet? Sa~ Quickly announce Urara's victory."
"It's definitely wrong." Lucian wrote the correct answer on the blackboard. "Everyone avoided the correct answer, what unique brain circuits, a bunch of idiot little horses."
"What is everyone doing?" At this time, Silence Suzuka, who had changed clothes, came down from upstairs.
She should have gone back to her room to take a shower, because Lucian smelled the faint fragrance of body wash.
Actually, just washing the abdomen and face more would be fine.
"Word card-san." Special Week responded: "Urara is teaching us Dragon Kingdom's xiehouyu."
"Xiehouyu?" Silence Suzuka didn't know much either. "How's the learning going?"
Special Week: "We basically didn't learn anything."
"Spe-chan, Urara clearly already poured all the knowledge into you!" Haru Urara retorted. "If you didn't learn it, it's definitely Spe-chan's own problem, Spe-chan learns too slowly."
Lucian added: "High EQ, learns too slowly. Low EQ, too dumb."
"Trainer is scolding again, I'm going to tattle to Auntie!"
"Your auntie isn't home today, go tattle, go go." Lucian said fearlessly.
Special Week pouted. "How can it be like this."
"Alright." Lucian met Silence Suzuka's gaze. "Everyone's here just in time, there's something, Suzuka will tell you all."
Meishou Doto and Dextrous Bailey weren't present, he'd tell them later.
The horse girls all looked toward Silence Suzuka, feeling that what she was about to say next was very important.
Silence Suzuka faced everyone. "Minna, next year I plan to go abroad for a year, the flight ticket is booked for the second day after returning to Japan."
"Eh!!!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Tokai Teio and the others all showed surprised expressions.
Special Week even frowned and walked toward Silence Suzuka. "Suzuka, why did you suddenly decide to go abroad?"
"Spe-chan, it's not a sudden decision, I've had this idea for a long time."
"But, but..." Special Week's reluctance was shown in her stammering words, and also in her various little actions.
"Spe-chan, I'll be back after one year abroad, and by then I hope to see an even stronger Spe-chan."
"Word card-san... I understand." Special Week wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes. "I'll call you often."
Since it was already a decided matter, the others also offered their blessings one after another.
...
Perhaps because Silence Suzuka's going abroad news was too sudden, Special Week still couldn't accept it, so she stuck by Silence Suzuka's side the entire day.
"Spe-chan." During nap time, Silence Suzuka looked at Special Week who had also crawled into her quilt, helplessly.
"Suzuka!? Private horse race, before I knew it I got on the bed."
"I understand Spe-chan's feelings." Silence Suzuka divided half the quilt to Special Week.
She just hoped that when she wasn't around, Special Week wouldn't be this dazed when getting along with Lucian.
"Word card-san, you're too good, wuwuwu~" Special Week started wiping tears again.
"Why didn't I notice before that Spe-chan cries so much?"
"Because just thinking about not seeing Suzuka for a year makes my heart feel very reluctant."
"Sorry, for telling you all after making this decision."
Special Week shook her head. "Word card-san, no need to apologize to me, I'm very happy you have your own goals and path."
Silence Suzuka was stunned. "What Spe-chan said sounds just like what Lucian-kun said."
"Eh? Actually... I was just imitating what Trainer said."
"As expected." Silence Suzuka covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. "Spe-chan, after I leave, if there's any book you want to read, you can just take it."
"No way, I still want to ask you first before taking it, that way I can also chat with Suzuka."
"Spe-chan, actually I still don't quite understand why you suddenly became interested in those books?" Silence Suzuka started to guide gently. "It's really not because there's someone you like?"
Special Week's mind flashed with Lucian's face, panicking denying: "O-Of course not! I just think romance stories are pretty good looking."
"So that's how it is." Since Special Week was embarrassed to say, Silence Suzuka didn't pursue further.
She just said sorry to Special Week in her heart.
Not because she took Lucian first, but because she planned to do something big on the day of parting.
Special Week: "Mm! That's it!"
...
At this time, Lucian was entangled by Haru Urara in the bathroom.
"Trainer, quickly teach Urara more of those xiehouyu~" Haru Urara shook Lucian's hand coquettishly.
"This... requires Urara to pay a little price." Lucian spread his hand, gripping at empty air.
Haru Urara nodded, turned to go lock the door.
Lucian lowered his voice to stop her: "Hey, Urara, why lock the door? I mean pinching face, what did you think it was."
"Pinching face, Urara thought it was pinching face too." Ignoring Lucian's obstruction, Haru Urara closed the door without any hesitation.
The not-yet-corrupted little angel actually wouldn't take the initiative to do anything too out of line... though she already had.
After locking the door, she leaped and hung onto Lucian's body. "Trainer, sha..."
Lucian kissed her little mouth. "Saying dirty words again, saying dirty words again."
Haru Urara pouted. "Clearly Trainer taught Urara these, and said it means greeting!"
Haru Urara still wanted to say those two words, but was kissed off by Lucian again.
After going back and forth, even the most proper little horse would gradually become emotional.
"Trainer, want more kisses." Haru Urara hugged Lucian's neck, slightly tilting her head up to approach, proactively kissing Lucian.
