"Chiya-san... no, I should be calling you Chiya-senpai now."
"I've only been here a year. You can just call me by my name."
"Chiya... it feels like it's been a long time since I've said that," Kiryuuin Aoi said with a nostalgic look.
In university, the two of them were classmates. A chance encounter had revealed their shared dream of becoming trainers. From then on, they began to share study notes, preparing to get their central trainer licenses in the future.
Chiya had passed on his first try, while she had failed and had to wait until the second year to get her license.
"It's amazing. When I got my placement, I was wondering if you might be at Tracen. It turns out you got here a year earlier than me."
"It's alright. It took a lot of effort back then."
The two reminisced about old times.
"How many Horse Girls do you have under you now, Chiya?"
"Three... four, five... six?"
"Hmm?"
"Barely six, I guess."
What does 'barely' mean? Oh well, he probably just misspoke.
"What about you, Aoi? Since it's joint training, you must have some Horse Girls too."
"Yes, I have three at the moment."
"Do I know them?"
"Happy Meek, Seiun Sky, and Special Week."
The first one he didn't know.
The other two he was very familiar with.
So the trainer Special Week had mentioned, the one who had scouted her during training, was Kiryuuin Aoi. He had no doubt that with her eye, she could tell the strength of a Horse Girl.
"Understood. Then I'll be in charge of today's joint training. Although I'm also a rookie, I'm quite familiar with the procedures at Tracen."
"Then I'll be in your care. By the way, if you have time later... would you mind going out for a chat?"
"Of course, anytime."
She smiled.
Arriving at the training grounds, Chiya stood in front of the teams.
"This is the trainer who will be training with us, Kiryuuin Aoi. If you have any questions, you can also ask her."
"I look forward to working with you all for the next week."
She stepped forward and bowed to everyone.
"And these are the Horse Girls who have come with Trainer Kiryuuin to train with our team: Happy Meek, Seiun Sky, and Special Week."
He introduced them one by one.
The three of them gave a slight bow.
His gaze shifted to the Horse Girl with medium-length white hair, straight bangs, and pink eyes.
She was Kiryuuin Aoi's first Horse Girl, and one he had never seen before.
"They look so alike," Gold Ship exclaimed. "Happy Meek-san, what's your relationship with Shirayuki?"
"Shirayuki?"
She tilted her head.
Gold Ship pointed to the white-haired girl behind her.
"You two look almost identical!"
Except for their eye color, the two of them looked almost the same. However, Shirayuki's ears were much longer than Happy Meek's.
"Could it be..." Gold Ship's mouth opened.
"'Could it be'?" Shirayuki repeated with a frown.
"Could it be that you are my long-lost sister?"
Happy Meek walked forward.
What the hell?!
""Huh?!""
A chorus of surprise rang out from the team.
"I knew it! They look so alike, there must be a blood relationship," Gold Ship said, puffing out her chest proudly.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I'm an only child, where would I get a sister from?" Shirayuki firmly denied.
"Are you sure, Shirayuki? Are you sure you're an only child?" Gold Ship stared at her, and under her suspicious gaze, she began to feel unsure.
"I think so..."
Actually, she still had doubts about this body. Was 'Fujiwara Shirayuki' created out of thin air, or was she split from Chiya? Or... did this body have an owner, whose consciousness was overwritten by hers?
That would be too convoluted! He had already come up with a 500,000-word plot in his head.
Looking at Happy Meek, she asked cautiously, "Am I really your sister?"
Happy Meek half-closed her eyes and looked carefully.
"That's right."
Nani?! Does that mean my 500,000-word plot is real?!
"Eh?! Shirayuki-san and Meek-san have that kind of relationship?" Special Week's jaw dropped.
"This is... quite exciting," Seiun Sky said with a smirk.
However, before everyone could finish being surprised, Happy Meek tilted her head, seemed to remember something, and then said, "I don't think I have a sister."
Then, as if confirming her thoughts, she bowed.
"I'm sorry, I was mistaken," she apologized. "That was just a character I made up in my boredom. I don't actually have a sister. If I did, I wouldn't run out of snacks."
Looking at her expressionless face, Chiya's eyebrows twitched.
"That kid..."
"She sometimes says things that don't make any sense."
"I see. You scared me for a moment."
The other girl seemed a bit dazed, almost making him send Shirayuki for a DNA test.
It seemed this body was one of the first two theories.
"Anyway, let's start training. Everyone, go warm up."
After they left, he began to explain the basic training process to Kiryuuin Aoi. She listened carefully, occasionally taking out a notebook to jot down his words.
Her serious demeanor made him a little nervous.
Although she had always been this serious in the past.
"Chiya."
She tucked her hair back. "What is your goal now?"
"My current goal?"
"Yes. You used to say you wanted to become a trainer and get into Tracen Academy. Now that your wish has come true, what's your goal for the future?" she asked. "Is it still to be a trainer?"
Hearing this, he lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then answered, "That's right. Still a trainer. But a more amazing trainer than this."
A Senior Trainer.
Although he was still a rookie, he was constantly working towards his goal.
"Getting into Tracen isn't the end of the road. Both Horse Girls and trainers need to keep moving forward."
Hearing this, her expression changed.
"You're still the same as before, tirelessly pursuing your dream for the sake of Horse Girls."
"It is my dream, after all."
"To hold onto a beautiful wish for over a decade without giving up... there are very few people like that."
At that time, he was just a child.
"I am the same," she said, looking at him. "My goal is also the same: to become a Senior Trainer. So this time, as my senior, as my classmate, and as my colleague, I want to work hard with you again."
"Alright."
He extended his hand.
"I look forward to working with you in the days to come."
"Yes!"
