Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: Waking Up

"Please… Mercy… Mercy…"

"Tachyon!! He was just feeling my muscles like he did with you!!"

Back in the real world, a scientist Uma can be seen choking a young man between her thighs. The reason is that the scientist found the young man in a questionable position with the reddish-brown haired Uma. Daiwa Scarlet was sitting on a chair with her legs spread open, and the young man was crouching in front of her with his hands pressing into her thighs. The scientist immediately thought of the worst possible outcome and busted out a wrestling move where she put the young man's neck between her thighs and choked him.

"Oohh~~ Is that so? Were you having fun, trainer?"

"Please… I wasn't… playing around…. Kuuhhk…"

"Tachyon!! He will die!!"

"Sigh…"

The scientist reluctantly opens her thighs, letting the bastard out of her thighs. The young man takes a massive gasp of air once more, now that he is free. He was feeling relieved but also a tiny bit sad. Tachyon's plump thighs are goddesses given heaven, and they almost cause him to enter heaven. If only she were squeezing his head instead of his neck, he might be able to withstand it for a few extra hours. The young man wonders how it feels to be squeezed between Daiwa Scarlet's thigh and Agnes Tachyon's thigh. An oyakodon.

"You should always have your guard up around this wretched man, Scarlet. Treat every word he said as the devil's whisper."

"Hey, pot! I'm kettle! Want to be friends?"

*Slap*

The young man slaps Tachyon's thighs for their attempt to kill him.

"It's not good to assume the worst about someone, Tachyon."

"It's hard not to do that with you."

"Pot, how's the girls reading?"

"They're not in any trouble, kettle."

The trainer and assistant trainer tease each other for their hypocrisy. Daiwa Scarlet, who looked at them, couldn't help but be amazed. Their relationship is what she imagines a trainer and trainee relationship to be. Close, personal, and open to each other. The way both of them are open to teasing from the other is cute.

I wish I could also find a trainer like him…

"Start the desynchronization process, pot. It's time to stop this experiment and reap what we sow."

"Okay, kettle."

"Kufufu~~"

Daiwa Scarlet giggles at the young man and Tachyon's interaction. They sound less like coworkers and more like friends or even closer than that.

"How about the chairwoman, kettle? Do you have any way of restoring her to normal?"

"Why do you want to do that, Pot? Wouldn't this be more beneficial for us?"

"Can you explain to the suited-up dogs?"

"Sigh… Sure."

The young man grabs the chairwoman and places her on his thighs once again. He grabs her head and forces her to stare into his eyes. He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and opens them again. His crimson iris turns bright red as 3 dark holes drift out of his pupils and circle in his iris. The holes circle his pupils for a second before stopping. Tails grow out of the dark holes, creating 3 choku tomoes around the pupils.

[Nagareru Mangekyo Sharingan: Tsukuyomi no Tenjo Fukusei]

His left choku tomoes move inward and collide with his pupil. The next moment, scythe-like dark spots grow out of his pupil, creating a three-sided windmill pupil on his left eye.

"Ah…"

"[Release]"

"..."

The chairwoman stared deeply into the three-sided windmill in the young man's left eye. The windmill whirls in place for a few seconds before stopping. In doing so, releasing the little chairwoman from her genjutsu.

"Scalet, hold the chairwoman for me."

The young man throws the limp chairwoman at Scarlet before she can even answer. Scarlet hugs the unconscious chairwoman in midair, letting her small head rest on her soft bosom.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing. Let her rest somewhere. She should wake up normal."

The young man's eyes had turned normal when he looked back at Scarlet. Well, except for the trail of blood running down his left cheek from his eye. The young man quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped the blood off his face.

"Pot, start with Suzuka first."

The pot let her fingers run across her keyboard. Typing with all her 10 fingers.

*Click*

The lid of Suzuka's capsule slowly opens up. White fog creeps out of the now-opened capsule like one of those fancy FTL sleeping pods.

"Uuuh… Aaah…"

The first noise that comes out of the capsule is the troubled noises of Silence Suzuka. The noise stirred the young man's paternal instinct, and he approached the still-fogging capsule. The reddish-orange-haired Uma carefully lifted her body out of the fog, and it was clear that she wasn't in her right mind.

"Uugghh… My head…"

"Are you okay, Suzuka?"

"Huh… Hon–!!"

Suzuka was about to call her trainer something personal, only for her body to stop her.

"Ye… Yeah… I'm okay… Uuuhh…"

"No, you're not."

The silent Uma grabs around for the edges of the capsule when it is clearly next to her. Her normal self would be able to grab something so close without any difficulty at all, and yet here she is rubbing around.

"Come here, you big baby."

The young man slipped his arms behind Suzuka's back and under her knees. He then lifts the still-dazed Suzuka out of her capsule.

Agh! My back!

"Hon–Trainer!"

As if moving on its own, Suzuka's arms wrapped around the young man's neck and hugged him tight.

"Trainer… Please be gentle…"

"I won't just drop you, Suzuka. You're not Teio."

The young man, with all his back pain, carries Suzuka to Scarlet.

"Grab her, will ya?"

"Eh?! That's my job now?!"

"Anything else?"

The young man hovered Suzuka over Scarlet's thighs, but when he tried to let Suzuka go, her arms wouldn't let him go.

"Um… Suzuka? Mind letting go of your arms?"

"Ah… Yes… This is the real world…"

"Yes…? What in the world is going on with you?"

With extreme sadness, Suzuka let go of her trainer. The young man wonders if there is some sort of debuff from the use of Umalator, so he busts out his [Truth Seeing Eyes]. As predicted, there is a debuff on Suzuka's UI with the name 'Umalator jetlag level 2'. Sadly, the Umamusume UI doesn't tell you what each debuff does, so he can only guess. On the other side, Suzuka learnt a few more potential skills. Front Runner Straightways, Prudent Positioning, and Final Push.

The Umalator taught her these skills and transferred them into theory to the real world. All she needs to do now is recreate them using her real body.

"Seeing something you like, kettle?"

"Damn straight, pot. Now open McQueen's or I'll kiss you."

"Don't threaten me with a good time."

*Click* *Clack* *Click* *Tap*

*Ssswwwooohsshhhh*

McQueen's capsule click opened, and the fog crept out like it was with Suzuka. The young man, this time, watched the fog clear out with anticipation. He looks like an evil genius watching his creation come to life. His [Truth Seeing Eyes] is on in full anticipation.

"Uhh… mmhh…"

Yes… Yes… It's alive…

McQueen's hands push out of the fog and grab the edge of the capsule. With an intense headache, she forced her body up. She looks around for a moment, and her eyes immediately lock with the young man.

"How are you doing, McQueen?"

"Uuhh…"

Why did he call me like that? More importantly, why is he not naked? Where in the world am I?

She has a level 2 debuff just like Suzuka, and shows the same symptoms as her.

"How were your races in the Umalator? It must have given you plenty of experience."

"Ah… Yes… Umalator… Umalator…"

McQueen's original memory quickly flooded back to her mind, and she remembered the truth now. That actress's life was nothing more than a simple construction of simulation inside the Umalator. This is the real world where her relationship with the man is a simple trainer and trainee.

I must buy this Umalator and install it in my room.

"Come here, you big baby."

The young man put his arms around McQueen and lifted her again like he did with Suzuka. McQueen's reaction was more the same like Suzuka as she puts her arms around the young man's neck.

In the man's eyes, McQueen had learnt some useful skills. Prepared to Pass, Up-Tempo, Hydrate, and Straightway Recovery. A mix of speed buff and stamina recovery skills. Not a bad mix to have for a pace chaser in the medium and long lengths.

"Scarlet, here is your next patient."

"Okay… Okay… Jeez…"

Scarlet has accepted her role as the nurse of Minaz Team as she takes care of the members. She let the young man drop McQueen's on her plump thighs and let her rest her pained head on her equally plump bosom.

"You ought to drop them slower."

"They have a good cushion to land on."

"Hey!'

"Pot, Teio's."

"Okay~"

The superliminal princess once again clicks and clacks on her laptop's keyboard, and the Monarch's capsule opens up with a machine hum. Once again, the fog creeps out of the capsule as the door lifts. The young man can't wait for what the genius would gain from all her races in the simulation.

"Welcome back, Teio."

"Huuh… Aaah… Mmhh… What did you just call me?"

"Teio…? That's your name, right?"

"Yeah… But… Uuh… This is…"

"You were in the Umalator for a few hours. Don't push yourself too hard. You'll need some time to let your body catch up to the real world."

"Huh… Umalator? My Hachimi…"

Really? Hachimi? That's the first thing she thinks about? I'm now concerned whether she spent her simulation racing or swimming in Hachimi.

"Come here, you addict."

The young man once again scooped his trainee from the capsule. His [Truth Seeing Eyes] have given him a hint at what Teio experienced in the simulation. Subdued Pace Chasers, Flustered Pace Chasers, Disorient, and Murmur. All Teio's potential skills are debuff skills.

Were you fighting Evil Nature a hundred times or something? Why all the debuff skills?

"Drop her gently."

Scarlet was already in her receiving position before the man could even tell her. She is quick to adapt to the Minaz team's shenanigans. The young man pushes his arms forward and drops Teio's body to Scarlet's embrace. A flicker of anger lit up for a moment in Teio's eyes when she was separated from the young man whom everyone misses.

"Pot, time for the little baby."

"I'll do it gently for Urara."

It's time for the baby to be woken up. The young man will finally get to see what King Halo sees every morning. The young man feels excited as Urara's capsule opens up. It's time for the evil prince to wake up the sleeping beauty.

Come to me, my baby.

"Uuuuh… Ummh… Head hurt…"

"Aaww~~ Are you okay, my baby?"

The man instantly scoops Urara up from her capsule. Unlike the rest, where the man carries them in the bridal carry, the young man carries Urara in a baby cradle hold.

"Was the simulation too much for your nonexistent brain?"

"Uuhh… Sla… Tra… Trainer…"

"How are you doing? Does your head hurt? Do you want some warm tea? McQueen! Go make some warm tea!"

"That's some very different behavior."

Scarlet was ready to accept Haru Urara onto her body, but the young man wasn't closing onto her.

"Sorry, Scarlet, but Urara is mine to enjoy. You get your own Urara!"

"What?"

Scarlet was completely flabbergasted. The young man changes so much when it comes to Haru Urara, she thought she was talking to another man. His voice is full of kindness, and he is holding her with care. This can't be the same person who dropped his trainees off at her from earlier, right?

"Trainer… My head hurt…"

"Aaww~~ Don't worry, cutie. That won't last long. Let me kiss your cheeks. It'll lessen the pain."

The young man planted his lips multiple times on Urara's cheeks, taking advantage of Urara's weak moment.

"Trainer… That tickles…"

"Is that so? How about this side? Mmhh!!"

"Hahaha… Stop~~"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Igo Heita."

"Are you?!"

The changes were so dramatic that Scarlet thought he was being possessed.

"Hey, kettle, what about Goldship?"

"Yeah, let her out or whatever. Who cares?"

"..."

There's definitely something wrong with this man!!

Daiwa Scarlet's image of Igo Heita has been turned inside out. She expects people to have a range of emotions, but the young man's change was on a completely different side of the earth. How can he be cradling Haru Urara with such care but couldn't care less about Goldship?

"Ooh~"

"What's wrong, pot?"

"It seems that there was an error with Goldship's capsule. I can't eject her. Based on this reading, if she were to be forced out with physical force, the Umalator might melt her brain with the same instruments it uses to read the brain waves."

"And? Is that supposed to be a bad thing?"

"I believe Goldship will be a better person if her brain were to be melted."

Daiwa Scarlet's jaw dropped to the floor from Igo Heita and McQueen's response.

What's wrong with this team?!?
