While they were taking a break, more and more people came to the track, and soon enough, the track was packed with running Umas, making it next to impossible to do their curvature training.
"Well, guess that's the end of that training section."
"Mooouu~~ I just recharge my energy."
"We'll try that again in the future. For now, let's return to the regular training."
"Okay~~"
"I'm okay with that, but why are you sitting on Trainer's lap, Teio?"
"Hm? Isn't this where trainees sit?"
The young man and his trainees had evacuated to sit on the slope surrounding the running track so as not to get in the way of the training Umas. The young man was the first to sit on the green pasture, and McQueen sat next to him. Teio, on the other hand, decides that her trainer's lap was the most fitting spot for her butt.
"I don't mind. Teio's butt is soft anyway."
"Uuh… You creep."
"What? Are you jealous that Teio's butt is softer than yours?"
"I am not!"
"That's impossible, trainer, because McQueen ate so much dessert all by herself. I have no way of competing with McQueen on that front."
"TTEEIIOOO!!!"
"Is that so? Come here, McQueen."
"I will not!!"
"Ah!! She ran away!! Catch her Teio!! Think of this as training!!"
"Got it!!"
Like Ash Ketchum sending Pikachu to attack Team Rocket, Igo Heita sends Teio to catch the chubby purple, who is running away. The young man was glad that Teio's speed was higher than McQueen's as Teio caught up with McQueen and stopped her in her tracks.
"LET ME GO!!"
"Trainer's order!"
The young man watches as the Amber brown-haired Uma hugs the light purple-haired Uma and brings her toward Igo Heita. Even though the chubby purple tried to break through the loud one's hug, it was proven futile, as soon enough, they both stood in front of the young man.
"Put her here, Teio."
The young man wickedly said as he patted his right thigh.
"Teio is right, you have some supple meat on your behind, McQueen."
"Don't comment on my body like that!!"
And why am I happy about that?!?! I should not!! Not even a little bit!!
"Let her down, Teio."
"Okay~~"
McQueen watches in slow motion as the world around her moves up as she falls to her doom.
*Plop*
"I could never get married to anyone besides you anymore…"
"What…? I could never understand you Mejiro. Also, Teio is right. You're plumper than hers by a wide margin."
"HEH!?!? I never said that!! Mine is only slightly firmer than McQueen's!!"
To prove her point, Teio smashes down on her trainer's left thigh, almost causing a broken bone in her trainer's thigh.
"See?! On the other hand, Trainer. Your thighs are much firmer than ours!"
"That's all from me playing football, Teio. It's what gives me the explosive kick."
"Ehh?? Is that so?"
Teio shakes her waist to feel more of her trainer's thigh and doing so, tickles said trainer.
"Hehey!! Stop that!"
The young man circles his arms around his trainees to try to discipline one of them, and doing so, tickles Teio in her stomach.
"Wait! Wait!! Hahahaha!! Please don't!!"
"Wait!! Don't jostle too much!!"
The feedback loop from the two people tickling each other had caused a predictable consequence as Igo Heita fell over, and since they were on a slope, the 3 of them rolled straight to the bottom.
"Oof!"
The 2 Umas were sandwiched between their trainer's body and the earth. Their comparatively small bodies were absolutely covered and pressed down by their trainer's body.
"Ahahaha… Trainer, you're heavy."
"Wait!! Not in public, dummy!!"
The 2 Umas protest, but none make any effort to push their trainer off. Somehow, having their trainer's body pressing against them gives them a sense of warmth.
"Yeah… Yeah… Sorry…"
The first one to make the move was the person who pressed down against the Umas.
"By the way, if we ever want to know who's plumper, then I need to recheck them with my hands."
"Like hell we will!!"
That response is what Igo Heita had expected from McQueen, which is why it's fun to tease her.
"Then stop eating too much dessert, chubby purple."
"I eat only the necessary."
"Two tableful of desserts aren't exactly necessary for living, McQueen. It's like Teio drinking two gallons of Hachimi."
"Eh?! Isn't that just wonderful?"
Good grief. I'm surrounded by idiots.
"MMCCQQUUEEEENN!!!"
"Eh?! Goldship!!!"
"Hmm?"
Along with the loud scream of McQueen's name, a girl with long white hair was coming at them at high speed. Said Uma jumps into the air and then pushes her feet forward, coming straight at the group with a dropkick.
"Wait! The trainer is just a human!! He can't—"
"Royal Guard!!"
"BUUUGGAAAHHH!!"
Goldship's dropkick was about to hit when Igo Heita dropped into a defensive position and screamed out a skill name. The next thing everyone knew was Goldship being flung away cartoonishly. It's as if the momentum of the Goldship was reflected to her.
"What… What just happened?"
"I was once a tax collector. My first client was someone who doesn't want to pay child support."
That doesn't explain anything!!!
"Hehehe… I see… You're a very interesting fellow!!"
Goldship returns to her feet as if nothing had happened.
"The name is Goldship! And you are?"
"Igo Heita. McQueen's fiancé and Teio's trainer."
"You are not!!"
"Wait!! Why am I getting the distance treatment!?!"
"Ahaha!! I know it!! We understand each other!!"
"Actually, no."
The young man was only enjoying teasing his two trainees, that's the limit of his craziness. He simply can't match the Tracen Academy's weirdest anomaly's wavelength, regardless of how much he tries.
"You may not want to admit it! But you know I'm right! Wanna go on an adventure?! Just 5 minutes!"
"So this is what it feels like to be ignored, huh? Sigh… Alright then, I'll join your stupid adventure, but I want a payment."
"Eh?! An adult extracting money from such a frail little girl?! How wicked can you be?!"
You're not frail at all!!!
"You're not exactly little, Goldship…"
McQueen can only curse at the troublemaker in her mind, while Teio freely lets out what's in her mind.
McQueen has a history with Goldship as the former is a frequent victim of the latter's prank. It feels like the tall, white-haired girl has some sort of vendetta against her. She rarely ever sees Goldship act childishly toward anyone else.
"No. No. No. I'm not stupid."
Yes, you are.
"What I want from you is to help me keep McQueen's dessert intake. If you see her trying to eat dessert above her daily quota, then stop her at all costs."
"Ooooh~~ Interesting~~"
"EEEEHHH?!?! NO!! NO!! PLEASE!! I BEG OF YOU!! I'LL DO ANYTHING!!"
McQueen hugs her trainer and pulls on his suit as if her life depends on it. The expression on the Mejiro Lady's face is one to remember, as rarely does Igo ever see such desperation and fear in someone's face. It's as if the Mejiro Family had just crumbled in front of her. Hell, even if the Mejiro Family crumbles, McQueen's desperation wouldn't be as much as the one she shows now.
"Look, McQueen. It's clear that I can't trust you to hold yourself accountable, and Teio can be bribed with hachimi."
"Whistle~~~"
"So it's time for external help. Don't worry, if you win a race, I'll lift the quota for the next day."
"No… No… This is not fair… This is not fair…"
Seeing McQueen crumble like a dried-up cookie was one hell of a sight. Someone so proud and full of herself is being destroyed by simple words from her trainer. Of course, this was a scene in which many of the training Umas saw and misunderstood. All they heard was McQueen screaming She will do anything for her trainer and then her crumbling in front of said trainer.
"Wait! Did McQueen just get rejected by her trainer?!"
"That McQueen?! The Mejiro McQueen?!?"
"Who is the trainer that dares to reject a Mejiro?! He must be an idiot!"
"Or some incredible trainer!! You have to be a talented trainer to make a contract with both Mejiro McQueen and Tokai Teio, right?!?!!"
"You're right!!! Then McQueen must have fallen for him, but was rejected!! Even after offering him her body!!!"
As the drama scene goes on, more and more cursed rumors are generated and spread like wildfire.
"Teio, can you bring McQueen back to our room? You both are dismissed for today. I'm going to attend whatever bull crap Goldship has for me."
"Okay!"
"Alright, let's get this over with, Goldship."
"Don't worry!! You won't regret this!"
