The next day, Chiya felt someone pushing him. The force grew stronger, and as if that wasn't enough, they started pinching his face.
The soft, tender feeling was clearly a girl's hand.
A girl? When did a girl get into the male staff dormitory? His head was groggy, he couldn't even think straight. His eyelids felt as heavy as lead. He turned towards the hand.
Stop pinching, it's so annoying. Let me sleep!
He grabbed the hand and pulled. With a cry of "Ah!", something fell on top of him.
What the hell?
Whatever, who cares.
His head was like a bowl of paste. He didn't want to care about anything, didn't want to think about anything.
"Chiya!"
Just as he was starting to snore, with an angry shout, he was punched hard in the stomach.
"Oof!"
The fogginess in his head was instantly blown away. He let out a muffled groan and twitched on the bed like a salted fish, then his eyes shot open.
"Assass—"
"Get up!"
Before he could finish, another punch landed on his stomach. It felt like there was some kind of hidden force, and he bounced right off the bed. Then he saw her, lying on the bed, her hat askew, her face red either from the awkward position or from anger—Akikawa Yayoi.
"Chairwoman, what are you doing here?!"
Chiya was scared out of his wits. It was like being woken up from a deep sleep by his homeroom teacher.
There was no greater fear in life.
In just two seconds, he was covered in cold sweat.
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Wh-what time?"
"Ten o'clock."
After answering, she immediately asked another question, "Do you know what day it is today?"
"What day..." He swallowed hard.
"Wednesday."
He was drenched in sweat.
"You've been skipping work for quite a while, Chiya. I messaged you, you didn't reply. I called you, you didn't answer. In the end, I had to come to your dorm to find you. Do you think you're above it all?"
Shaking his head like a bobblehead, he repeatedly denied it.
But her scolding wasn't over. She stood beside him, tapping her fan and lecturing, "I already warned you not to drink anymore, but you insisted. Fine, you drank, but you also slept like the dead! It seems a little punishment is in order."
"Punishment?! What punishment?"
"There's a flower bed on the west side of Tracen. Go clean up the weeds there, water and fertilize it every day. You'll be in charge of that flower bed for this month."
"Chairwoman, isn't that flower bed super huge?"
"That's right. Otherwise, how could it be called a punishment?"
With a pained expression, he gritted his teeth and nodded. He had spent all the money he had earned from the Mejiro family yesterday. His funds were tight again. As long as they didn't dock his pay, everything was fine.
But speaking of yesterday, he clutched his head. He couldn't remember how he had gotten back or how he had gotten into bed.
He pulled back the covers and looked inside.
"Ah—!"
"What now?!"
She was startled by him.
"My clothes... are gone."
He was only wearing a pair of underwear. His outerwear and everything else were gone.
Did I take them off myself? Or did someone help me? And where did they put them?
He looked around but couldn't find them.
"Your clothes are gone?" Hearing this, her expression suddenly changed. "You brat, you didn't do something while you were drunk yesterday, did you!"
"No, no, no! I would never do something like that!"
Probably...
"You'd better not have. If you cause any trouble, I won't let you off."
"Yes, ma'am!"
She sighed.
This kid was a far cry from Fujiwara Zenya. It was hard to imagine that the gentle, considerate trainer who was so devoted to his Horse Girls could have a son like this.
He wasn't as cute as he was as a baby. Now that he was grown up, he drank and skipped work, a real headache.
Looking at him searching everywhere for his clothes, she slapped her face.
"Enough! If you can't find them, just change into another set. Do you have any others? Where are they?"
"In the closet."
She strode over. The moment she opened the door, he seemed to remember something and reached out. "Wait, Chairwoman! Don't open—"
Before he could finish, she had opened the closet. Inside was a whole row of body pillow covers, all with Horse Girl patterns.
The outermost one was a photo of one of the Triple Crown winners, Mr. C.B.
"Ahem, let me clarify. Collecting these is just a hobby of mine, with no special meaning. I hardly ever use them, and even if I do, it's purely for appreciation. I have the utmost respect for all Horse Girls and would never invade their privacy or follow them around like a stalker. My collection is completely legal and compliant, and no Horse Girls were harmed during the purchase."
He spoke with righteous indignation.
After what felt like an eternity, she finally replied.
"Trainer Chiya."
"Yes."
"The flower bed on the east side is also your responsibility."
"...Yes, ma'am."
By noon, Chiya was sighing in his office. This had to be the unluckiest day of his life. It was a good thing his collection was all-ages. If she had found any R-18 stuff, he probably would have had to pack his bags and leave.
By the way, how did she get into his room? Did she have a spare key?
That was too scary, even scarier than a landlord. There was no privacy at all!
As he was thinking about her, he suddenly found that his mind was exceptionally clear. Getting up, going to work, eating breakfast—his body moved with ease, without any need for extra thought.
Does drinking make people smarter?
Probably not.
He pinched his chin, his gaze falling on the training schedule in front of him.
The four characters 'Fujiwara Shirayuki' caught his eye. A bolt of lightning shot through him, and he sprang up from his seat.
Shirayuki! She hasn't woken up yet!
He squeezed his eyes shut, like trying to force himself awake from a dream. When he opened them again, another image had appeared in his mind.
It was her dorm room.
Without a second thought, she hastily put on her clothes, grabbed her bag, and ran towards the school.
"I'm sorry I'm late!"
Pushing open the classroom door, she panted.
Everyone's eyes focused on her.
The balding teacher pushed up his glasses.
"Shirayuki-san."
"Yes!"
"Class is already over."
Ring, ring, ring!
The lunch bell rang.
"You're amazing, Shirayuki. You were late for the entire morning," Special Week and the others said, gathered around her desk.
"Eh, the longest I've ever been late is for two periods," Seiun Sky said, leaning back in her chair with her head in her hands, showing off her record.
"I thought you couldn't find your way to school. I even called you, but no one answered," Meisho Doto said cautiously.
"Being a sleeping beauty is also a form of elegance!" TM Opera O said, her hands on her hips, laughing loudly.
Shirayuki lay on her desk, her face haggard.
She now deeply regretted drinking so much last night.
She had blacked out completely, with no memory of what had happened.
Remembering waking up naked that morning, she thought to herself, I really didn't do anything, right?
