Uma Musume: I am the Card Master

I have plans for both winter and summer vacations, so I can't waste them.

After checking with their homeroom teachers, my guess was indeed correct.

The last horse racer was Golden Ship. It took Suiyuan a few minutes to get their leave approved.

"Honestly, they're all such a worry, such a pain."

Suiyuan shook his head helplessly and then put his phone away.

"Alright, Yayoi, let's go."

When Toshiyuki held Akikawa Yayoi's hand, it looked like an older brother leading his younger sister.

"Question: What exactly did the trainer want to talk to me about? Can you tell me now?"

Toshiyuki led Akikawa Yayoi out of the school, his face full of a relaxed expression.

"Purpose? There's no such thing. Although your strength has improved rapidly recently, there's something I haven't told you."

Akikawa Yayoi swallowed hard. "Masaka, crisis?"

Suiyuan shook his head. "What are you thinking about? Yayoi not only has to train, but also has to handle the work at Treson Academy. The pressure is just too much. I've noticed lately that you've been smiling much less often."

Looking at Akikawa Yayoi, who seemed a little dazed, she said, "For your physical and mental health, relaxation is necessary. Today, I'll take you out for a good day of fun. Don't think about training or work."

Toshiyuki gave Akikawa Yayoi a thumbs up, "Get completely absorbed in having fun!"

Akikawa Yayoi breathed a sigh of relief after 340. She then raised her little fist and punched Toshiyuki in the chest.

"You rascal! You scared me! I thought something was wrong with my health!"

Suiyuan chuckled, showing no intention of hiding.

"Let's go, let's go!"

If you asked Toshiyuki to choose who worked the hardest and faced the most pressure during the Aurora shoot, he would choose Akikawa Yayoi without hesitation.

Akikawa Yayoi not only has to train, but also has many important decisions to make. Moreover, she also has to face pressure from those old guys at Treson Academy.

“I’ve seen firsthand how hard Yayoi works.”

Akikawa Yayoi held Toshiyuki's hand, thinking about how her trainer had truly seen all her hard work.

"Let's go! But it's not the trainer who's going with me, it's me going with the trainer!"

"Alright, alright, whatever Yayoi says goes."

Toshiyuki chuckled and pinched her nose. Akikawa Yayoi is so cute.

"No way! Trainer, don't treat me like a child!"

"Haha, only a child would tell others not to treat them like a child!"

…………

"have they gone?"

"Let's go, let's go. The trainer has already left. Let's hurry up and hopefully we won't run into the trainer again."

Golden Ship wiped the sweat from his forehead.

They had only taken a couple of steps when they saw Suiyuan ahead.

The Golden Ship and the others reacted quite normally, only Mi Yu looked at Sui Yuan and Akikawa Yayoi's tightly clasped hands.

It seems I really need to act quickly.

"Miyu, we need to get going right away, stop daydreaming."

The golden ship patted the rice bather who was in a daze.

"Ah? Okay...okay."

Mi Yu quickly chased after him. What happened next could wait; the most important thing right now was to get to the anime convention as soon as possible—her brother's figurines and merchandise…hehehe~

…………

"Phew, all safe on the bus. Why did the trainer go out too? Luckily, the convention started relatively late."

Golden Ship wiped the sweat from his forehead.

She hadn't expected Suiyuan to go out as well, and the four racehorse girls followed behind him. Fortunately, Suiyuan and they were heading in different directions.

It took a little longer than expected to finish, but it's not a big deal.

The golden ship glanced at the time; there was still plenty of time.

After calling the three racehorse girls to his side, Golden Ship opened the backpack he was carrying, which contained several large sacks.

"Here, here, for you."

Each person carried a burlap sack, and Mi Yu and the others held the sacks, their faces full of bewilderment.

Before the three of them could even voice their questions, Golden Ship handed each of them a bank card. "Um, could you guys do me a favor? After you've bought the trainer merchandise, could you buy me some more?"

"Ah Chuan, what do you need so many for? Three sets are enough, aren't they?"

"Snow Beauty said with some curiosity."

One set for myself, one set for display, and one set for my collection.

Golden Ship put on a smug expression, "You guys still underestimate my love for trainers!"

"I could collect so many of the trainer's things, I'd never have too many!"

Rice Bath and Snow Beauty stared blankly at the Golden Ship, while the Golden Master also gave a look that said, "So this is what racehorse girls are like!"

The golden ship secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed they had managed to fool them. Thank goodness.

Suddenly, three delicate white hands appeared in front of the golden ship.

She was still holding the bank card she had just given them.

"What are you doing?"

The golden ship stared at them, completely bewildered.

"I'm sorry, A-Chuan, but when it comes to loving my brother, I still need to learn from you... I want to collect everything that belongs to my brother too!"

Mi Yu's face was flushed, and you could tell she was really shy, but she spoke with extreme determination.

Snow Beauty rubbed the hem of her clothes, "Well, I think the same way as senior Mi Yu (aedc). I also want to learn from you, A-Chuan, and I want to collect more things related to trainers!"

I...I also really admire being a trainer!

The Gold Master said nothing, but looking at her slightly trembling ears, he knew she was definitely not as calm as she appeared.

Golden Ship just wants to give his past self a good thrashing right now. What kind of excuse is that?!

The golden ship seemed to see those cute little coins floating away, and the super cool 50x50 Rubik's Cube that it had its eye on a few days ago!

Do not!

Although his heart was bleeding, Golden Ship still smiled and took back his bank card.

"Haha, you guys... really, haha..."

The golden ship gazes at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and my life... is without regrets!

It would be better to do it myself. They're just some curious fans, and I could definitely beat them if I tried. But... how am I supposed to compete with Uma Musume Girls who are about as strong as me?

Putting aside whether I can win the bid or not, even if I can win, my gains will definitely be much less. Could this be considered as lifting a stone only to drop it on my own foot?

…………

While the Golden Ship was on the verge of tears, Suiyuan was experiencing a very warm and cozy atmosphere.

"Here, milk tea."

Toshiyuki took one cup for himself and gave the other cup of milk tea to Akikawa Yayoi next to him.

"grateful."

"You're welcome."

Sui Yuan said with a smile, "If you don't know what the first step is when you go out with a girl, let's go buy a cup of milk tea first."

Some girls might look down on it, but Uma Musume would never.

They'll just think you're taking good care of her.

"I didn't know what flavor of milk tea you liked, Yayoi, so I bought you a cup of bubble tea. We usually eat nutritious meals."

Should we add some snacks occasionally?

Suiyuan suggested.

Akikawa Yayoi shook her head. "No, snacks will affect Uma Musume. Although the impact is small, it should still be avoided."

If you want to eat snacks, you can enjoy them freely after retirement. A racehorse girl's racing career is only five or six years. For the sake of the racehorse girl's performance, it's best to avoid uncontrollable foods like snacks.

Eating it once a month is fine, but if you shorten it to once a week... it will have an impact.

Akikawa Yayoi said this with a very serious expression.

Although Akikawa Yayoi may seem a bit reckless, she always thinks things through very seriously when it comes to matters related to Uma Musume.

"I was just saying that. Since you've said so, Yayoi, let's just forget about it."

Toshiyuki patted Akikawa Yayoi's head. At first, Akikawa Yayoi resisted Toshiyuki's actions, which were like coaxing a child.

However, thanks to Toshiyuki's persistent efforts, Akikawa Yayoi is no longer so resistant to Toshiyuki's intimate gestures.

Akikawa Yayoi thought for a moment and suggested, "Snacks can be eaten once every two weeks. Although physical health is important, mental and physical health are equally important."

Upon hearing Akikawa Yayoi's words, Toshiyuki burst out laughing and bent down slightly.

"Idiot, are you laughing at me?!"

Akikawa Misaki glared angrily at Toshiyuki.

"That's right, Yayoi, you know that physical and mental health is even more important."

Since you already know this principle, why force yourself to do so?

Akikawa Yayoi turned her head away. "I didn't deny it; I wasn't forcing myself..."

Toshiyuki looked at Akikawa Yayoi with a smile, "You really didn't force yourself?"

"No……"

"Look me in the eyes and say it once?"

"reject!"

"Haha, Yayoi, you're so cute!"

This time, Akikawa Yayoi just glared angrily at Toshiyuki without saying a word.

"Alright, alright, our Yayoi didn't force herself, but... if you have anything on your mind in the future, you can come and talk to your trainer about it."

"agree."

"Alright, let's set off then."

Chapter 259 A Reassuring Super Bay

"Trainer, how was your outing today?"

Super Little Bay poured Suiyuan a glass of water.

Suiyuan picked up the water glass and drank it all in one gulp. "Not bad. She didn't seem to be under as much pressure when she parted ways with Yayoi."

Walking behind Suiyuan, Super Little Bay helped Suiyuan massage his shoulders.

"Thank you for your hard work, trainer."

Suiyuan looked up at the beautiful face of Super Little Bay.

"I don't feel tired at all, but there's one more thing."

Suiyuan smiled as he looked at Super Little Bay, and Super Little Bay took the hand that Suiyuan had reached out.

"Is there anything else that I can help the trainer with? You can leave it all to me."

Super Little Bay looked at Suiyuan with eyes full of tenderness.

Sui Yuan's lips curled up. "To be precise, only Super Small Bay can accomplish this."
