"Is... that right?" Narita Top Road looked at Admire Vega, confused.
"That's right," she replied, her face impassive, her tone firm even in this situation.
"Oh, right, right! I can't believe you figured it out, hahahaha—" Having received her companion's confirmation, Narita Top Road laughed loudly while rubbing her head, feigning embarrassment.
"Hmph."
People tend to believe what they want to believe. Faced with these two abnormally acting girls, Celestial Weave didn't feel a shred of doubt. Instead, she was proud of her own sharp eye for seeing through their odd behavior. This act must be their flustered reaction to being found out!
After winning a G3, she was now worthy of being recruited by trainers directly, unlike the undebuted horse girls who had to wait to be scouted in campus training races. Having prepared for this, the moment she saw their awkward behavior, she had already classified them as recruiters.
And after giving their answer, it occurred to both of them: if they could get her to join their training team, wouldn't they have a reason to be together every day?! Their eyes, which had been forced to admit it, suddenly lit up.
"My trainer is amazing! Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to win the Kikuka Sho!" Narita Top Road eagerly began her sales pitch.
"Me too," Admire Vega immediately followed.
"And if you join my team now, there's a limited-time bonus! Like... like a 'One-Day Use Narita Top Road Coupon' or something!" To get her to join, she had even made up a non-existent bonus on the spot.
"Me too." Admire Vega seemed to highly approve of her quick thinking and agreed again.
"How are we the same! How would you have a coupon like that!"
"I could have an 'Admire Vega Use Coupon'."
"At least add a limited-time date to it!"
Watching the two of them chatter in front of her, Celestial Weave suddenly laughed. Although she had precious memories from the scenario world and really wanted to be friends with them again, she already had her own ideas about a trainer.
"So, I'm sorry." She waved her hand apologetically.
Her action made them exchange a look, as if communicating with their eyes.
"She's already chosen someone?!"
"Who beat us to it?"
Simultaneously, a figure appeared in both of their minds. Is it Saint-King Halo? We were beaten to it!
Just as they were lamenting their slow actions, a set of footsteps came from around the corner behind them. Having learned their lesson, the three of them turned to look at the same time.
It was Saint-King Halo, with a piece of bread in her mouth. Seeing three people staring at her at this small corner, a drop of sweat appeared on her forehead. "Eh?"
"Am I... late?"
"You guys... are you all reading the same manga?"
Celestial Weave knew that her performance might attract some eager trainers. But she had never imagined that in one day, three horse girls would try to use the same method to trick her.
Looking at the three of them, who had all turned their heads away in silence, she sighed helplessly. I was prepared to never have any interaction with them again for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect them to all show up in front of me at once. Is this what they call fate?
"First of all, don't use such a dangerous method to hit on people in the future," she said, holding up a finger in front of the three who were now as meek as quails.
"And then—" she walked over to Narita Top Road and poked her soft cheek. "Next time, don't hold people so tightly. It's hard to breathe."
"Don't step on someone's breakfast. Every grain of rice, every slice of bread is precious. Don't waste it." She lightly tapped Admire Vega on the head.
"Running with bread in your mouth is an anime trope. The person you bump into might not be the protagonist. What if you ran into the Chairwoman?" Finally, she walked over to Saint-King Halo, who had appeared in the most orthodox manner but was late, and just smiled helplessly, tapping her on the nose.
Looking at the three of them, who were all bowing their heads and listening obediently, a smile tugged at the corner of her lips. "Finally, my name is Celestial Weave. A student of Tracen Academy's high school division, class one. If you need anything—"
"Feel free to come find me anytime."
Hearing this, the three of them looked up at the same time, a hopeful light in their eyes. And she had already turned her back to them and was walking towards Tracen, leaving them with only her cool retreating figure and a jaunty wave. "Hmph."
Since they had come to her, there was no need for her to back down. She knew that these three were good kids. To be able to re-establish her friendship with them was also what she wanted. Feeling that she had used a mature, adult way of hitting on them, and feeling quite cool about it, she gave a triumphant humph in her heart and left the scene of the crime.
But her composure only lasted for less than ten minutes. As she stepped onto the Tracen campus, she saw a rather troublesome figure in her peripheral vision. Leaning against a tree, T.M. Opera O had her arms crossed in a cool pose. As if sensing her gaze, she even winked at her.
Feeling that getting entangled with this girl right now would be a huge pain, Celestial Weave pretended not to see her and was about to quickly walk away. But would T.M. Opera O give up so easily? After she had walked a short distance, she saw her again in her peripheral vision, in a different pose.
Seeing her so persistent, she knew that this girl wouldn't give up easily. She could only sigh and stop, turning around and saying in a helpless tone, "Is there something you need?"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, hahahahaha!"
"Were you drawn by the Hegemon King's aura! Very well! Responding to the admiration of others is also a king's duty!" Seeing her stop, T.M. Opera O immediately laughed loudly, the confidence in her tone making Celestial Weave's lips twitch.
Did I want to be drawn? You were the one shamelessly pestering me!
"There is no need to be nervous, nor to be shy. Oh, admirer of the King's glory, the Hegemon King has appeared before you! Feel free to release your admiration for me!" T.M. Opera O opened her arms, as if inviting her for a hug.
