"Gaa~ ow!"
With a strange cry, the little brown-haired girl ran into Shirayuki's classroom.
"It's you again!"
Every day after class, Shinko Windy would come looking for her, and a game of cat and mouse would ensue.
"That's right, it's me, little Shinko! Hurry up and call out Shirayuki to battle! I've sharpened my teeth today!" she said excitedly.
"Shirayuki went to the trainer exchange meet," Mejiro McQueen answered patiently.
"...Huh?"
Shinko Windy's ears perked up.
"Exchange meet? What exchange meet?"
"The trainer exchange meet. She's a competitor."
"Is that so... when will she be back?"
"At night. But she'll be out for a few days."
Hearing this, the hand she had raised in a fierce gesture slowly lowered. Her tail also swayed idly a few times. After wandering around Shirayuki's desk for a while, she turned and left silently.
Meanwhile, in the central hall, a dozen trainers and dozens of Horse Girls sat together, listening to a speech.
Chiya yawned out of boredom.
The fat-headed guy on the stage had been talking for nearly half an hour, about how he had gotten to where he was from a junior trainer.
After listening for a while, he had summarized it down to one point.
Connections.
"At that time, I knew XXX," "Luckily, I had XX at that time," "My friend is an executive," and so on. He suspected that this guy wasn't here to share his journey, but to show off how extensive his connections were in the central division, to intimidate them new trainers.
How to put it? It was quite annoying.
And also quite enviable.
When would he be able to write on his speech draft, "My Chairwoman father" or "My Secretary General mother," and so on.
The first sentence would make people realize his uniqueness.
Oh well, no point in thinking about it. These things are destined from birth. You can't force it.
Turning his head, he looked at his Horse Girls.
Mejiro Dober was sitting up straight, listening intently to the meaningless speech. Rice Shower, on the other hand, was sitting beside him, with an expression that said, 'I don't care what he's talking about, I just want to be with Onii-sama.'
Seeing her sparkling eyes looking at him, he reached out and touched her face.
"Hehe~"
Rice Shower let out a cute laugh.
So soft, so tender, so smooth.
Like a baby's skin, it made him unable to let go.
Compared to listening to the boring speech, petting Rice Shower was much more enjoyable.
Although Shirayuki's face was similar, touching her was still a bit strange.
To be both the one petting and the one being petted at the same time, performing a self-petting action.
It sounded unhealthy.
So it was better to pet someone else.
"Onii-sama~"
Rice Shower let out a comfortable sound.
Perhaps because she was enjoying it so much, hearts appeared in her eyes. She held his hand and rubbed against it, her ears and tail wagging rapidly.
This child is too good.
Such a cute action made his heart feel like it was about to melt.
In this team full of problem children, only Rice Shower could still bring him warmth.
He stroked her fluffy, soft ears. She blushed and directly dived into his embrace, like a cat, rubbing her pink face against his chest.
Mejiro Dober looked at the two of them with a strange expression.
"Shirayuki, is this normal?"
"Yes, it's very normal."
"Onii-sama, Onii-sama..."
Rice Shower's voice came out, attracting the attention of those around them.
He coughed awkwardly and patted her shoulder.
Realizing she had gone a bit too far with her affection, her head suddenly heated up.
She slowly sat up and left his embrace.
I lost control again...
The reassuring scent on him was just too addictive. Every night, she would take out the coat he had draped over her, take a sniff, and then have a good night's sleep.
After killing some time with Rice Shower, the executive on the stage finally finished his speech.
"Now, trainers, please proceed to the racetrack."
The sound of chairs scraping filled the conference room as the trainers and Horse Girls left one after another.
"Chiya."
Just as he stood up, a black figure walked to his side.
"Sorry, I didn't see you when I came in."
Kiryuuin Aoi greeted him. Behind her were Special Week, Seiun Sky, and Happy Meek.
"I was almost the last one to arrive."
"No wonder," she smiled. "Let's go, to the racetrack."
...
In the Tokyo Racecourse, in the competitors' waiting room, Chiya was giving instructions to his Horse Girls.
"Have you all remembered the methods I gave you yesterday?"
"Rice has remembered everything."
"Yes, Trainer," Dober nodded. "It's just that there are too many restrictions. I'm not sure if I can use it in a real race."
"It's best if you can use it. It doesn't matter if you can't. Your skill is there. The tactics are just to give you an extra layer of insurance."
By the way...
He looked at her seriously.
"Wh-what is it, Trainer? Why are you staring at me like that?" she asked, taking a step back as if scared.
"No, it's nothing."
She could speak to him properly now. Could it be that her fear of men had been cured?
"Hey! Over here!"
"Eek—!"
A man's voice came from the hallway. As if her tail had been stepped on, she quickly ducked behind Shirayuki.
So it's not cured.
That's right. A mental illness is much harder to treat than a physical one. It hadn't even been a month. It wouldn't be that easy to cure.
"If there are no problems, then let's go."
He stood up.
Under the arrangement of the central staff, the Horse Girls were divided into nine groups of four.
"Although you've seen it many times, this should be the first time you've actually stepped onto a racetrack, right?"
"Y-yes."
"Rice too..."
They were very nervous.
"Just think of it as getting familiar with it in advance. The racetrack here is much bigger than at Tracen, and the terrain is more complex, especially the slopes. The steep slope at Tokyo Racecourse is two meters high, and the one at Nakayama Racecourse is a staggering four meters high. It feels like stepping on a wall. You'll have special slope training in the future, so get a feel for a real race early on."
""Yes!""
As the process continued, Rice Shower, Dober, and Shirayuki went to their respective groups.
Although he really wanted to give them a few words of encouragement, to tell them that it would be best if they could win, he decided against it. He didn't want to put too much pressure on them.
Arriving at her group, Shirayuki saw a familiar white figure.
"Meek."
"Sister."
"Huh?"
"I remembered wrong."
She tilted her head and thought for a moment.
"Shirako-san."
"My name is Shirayuki..."
"Shirayuki?" she blinked.
Although her expression didn't change, Shirayuki could sense a sense of bewilderment from her.
She felt that the other girl was a bit too dazed.
If he were to teach a Horse Girl like this tactics, would she really remember them? She had her doubts.
"I look forward to racing with you."
The pale pink eyes stared at her blankly.
"...Yes."
After a long pause, Happy Meek finally responded.
