"Moou~~ He's such a devil."
"Hehehe~~ That's your own fault for eating too much dessert, McQueen."
"It's yours too for telling him about it!"
McQueen now promises that if she ever gorges herself on sweets again, she won't invite Teio. She will enjoy all the desserts for herself and doesn't need to worry whether her trainer will find out or not. And as long as she eats in secret, Goldship will never know.
McQueen thought she was being discreet, but Teio quickly understood what her best friend was feeling and couldn't help but smile cheekily.
"Hehehe~~"
"What? What's wrong?"
"Nothing~ I guess I kinda understand the trainer a bit."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Hehehe~~"
The 2 Umas walk down a long hallway, passing by many other Umas. The room that Rudolph provides for them is right in the middle of the second busiest building in the academy, so it's not weird to see such a large gathering of Umas going their merry way. To train, study, play around, or even just relax.
"Ah! You can go first, McQueen. I'm going to meet prez."
"Okay. Don't bother her too much."
"Nah~ There's no way."
Teio, using her incredible Teio's step, bounces all over the place toward the student council office. Her movement is like a leaf being blown in a gentle wind, unpredictable, swift, and soft. Teio isn't necessarily a big Uma, but seeing a human body moving so swiftly was akin to magic.
"Hachimi~~ Hachimi~~ Hachimi~~"
XxX-XxX
"No, not him."
In the student council office, Rudolph is looking through the database of Tracen trainers. She repeatedly swipes through her tablet as more and more trainers' faces and data are shown to her. The website she is browsing through is a secret website in Tracen Academy that the students create to evaluate the trainers. It's a website run by students, so most of the evaluations are heavily subjective. Most of them are just evaluations of looks, a few are just horny fanfictions between the displayed trainer and the Uma, and barely any provide useful information about the trainer.
If Rudolph can, she would rather not use this website, but the official website doesn't necessarily show any more information about the trainers either. Tracen Academy is obligated to keep its trainers' data hidden unless the inquiry comes from authorized officers. If a student like Rudolph wants to go through Tracen's trainers' data, then she will need to make an official inquiry to the chairwoman, and she knows she's going to need to answer some questions for each trainer she asks for.
Just thinking about that already caused a vein to pop on Rudolph's head.
"Uhhmm… Not her, too."
The reason why Rudolph had been going through trainers' data these past few days was because her most trusted lieutenant was entrapped in the hands of a suspicious trainer, and it was none other than Rudolph's own fault. With each day Teio isn't free from her trap, is another painful day for Rudolph's conscious. She feels like it's her duty to free Teio no matter what.
Yes, no matter what. I will free Teio from that man.
Rudolph had thought that she would advise Teio to transfer to a much more experienced trainer, but the main problem now is that she doesn't know any who can effectively bring Teio's potential to its fullest. She doesn't want to pull Teio out of a lion's jaw into a crocodile's.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"PREZ!!"
"Ah! Teio! Come in!"
Rudolph's cloudy heart was quickly shone upon by the sun that is Teio. Hearing her cheerful noise after days of unrest feels like a bucket of cold water in the middle of a housefire.
Teio. I will save you!!
"Heyo, Prez!!"
Teio quickly gets to her usual seat, Rudolph's shoulders. The small Uma climbs on Rudolph's body, puts her legs above each of Rudolph's shoulders, and then sits comfortably there. Normally, this is a weird position to be in, but Rudolph has gotten used to it that it feels wrong if Teio isn't with her when she visits the office.
"How was your day, Teio?"
"It was fun! My day with the trainer has been nothing but a blast!"
"I'm glad…"
Why hasn't that man made his move yet? Is he waiting for something? Is he saying that Teio isn't up to his standard?!?! How dare he?!? A pervert choosing his prey as if he were in control! I'll show him that Teio is the best!!
"Training under trainer Igo doesn't feel boring at all! I thought that I would just need to do the same thing over and over again, but Trainer Igo always finds a way to spice things up!"
"Is that so?"
Did I misjudge him? Maybe he is not as bad as I thought he was. Perhaps I had become jaded from all the pressure of being a student council president.
Indeed… I should apologize to him.
"He is an amazing trainer, is he not?"
"Mhm~~! He is more like a friend than a trainer."
"Hahaha~~ I guess that's the sign of a wonderful trainer."
"He might doubt my butt softness, but he quickly understands once I show him!"
"Eh?"
"McQueen's might be softer since she eats more desserts, but that doesn't mean mine wasn't!!"
"Wha–what do you mean? You both haven't slept together, ri–right!?"
"Hmm?"
In Teio's mind, sleeping together has no impure implication. For her, it was just literally sleeping together, and if that's the case, didn't they do that on the bottom of the slope earlier?
"Yeah, we did! With McQueen too!!"
"ACK!!"
With two Umas!!! That greedy man!! How much stamina does he have?!?! A Uma Musume is physically stronger than a human by a margin of three, and yet, he manages to keep up with two Umas!! He!! He must be a mutant!!
A particular scene plays inside Rudolph's mind. The young man devilishly smiles as he sits down on the edge of a large bed, only in his boxer. His eyes are hidden under the shadow of his hair. The next moment, McQueen and Teio come out of the bathroom after taking a warm shower, only draped in towels. Their small bodies, being only protected by thin white towels, would of course stimulate the devil's body.
"Tra–Trainer, we're ready."
"Please be gentle with us. It's our first time."
I can't forgive that man!!!
"Hmm? Prez? You're making a weird face."
"Don't worry about me. Where is that man now?"
"With Goldship on a little adventure or whatever she said earlier."
"A bird of a feather flock together."
XxX-XxX
"GUH!"
"THIS WOMAN, HER REAL NAME IS GOL D SHIP!! THE DAUGHTER OF THE LEGENDARY GOL D POGGERS!! THE PIRATE QUEEN!!"
Murmurs and screams break through the crowd watching the execution in the central HQ of NATO Marines. The fact that the Fleet Admiral had just made public feels was an unthinkable bomb to the many people who attended the execution. They just thought that she was just a high-ranking member of one of the 7 Sea Lords, but to think that she is also the daughter of the legendary pirate queen.
The 3 Marine Admirals stay on guard in front of the execution platform, ready to stop anyone who wants to disturb the execution of the pirate princess. At first, everyone thinks that this might be overkill, but after knowing who Gol D Ship really is, everyone nods in agreement. This is absolutely necessary to cleanse the world of the cursed bloodline.
*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*
"ALL UNIT!!! PREPARE YOURSELF!!!"
The rumbling would normally be classified as a mere earthquake, but nobody thought of that with who was at the execution platform. There can only be one explanation for the rumbling of the Marine HQ, the leader of The White Haired Pirate, White Hair himself.
"Now, where will you come, White Hair?"
"Mmmmaaaaannnn~~~ This sure is heart thumping, eeeeehhhh~~~??"
"..."
The 3 Marine Admirals speak amongst themselves. Their powers leak out of their bodies as they prepare themselves for an incoming attack. They can't hide just how eager they were to clash with powerful enemies. Rarely does an admiral of the Marine need to step down and get sweaty.
*BBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMM*
Crack forms in the middle of the plaza of the Marine HQ, and the next moment, the entire plaza exploded, and water burst out from the ground.
"THAT'S HOT WATER!!"
*WHOOSH*
"Hm?"
A sailor screams out in pain when the bursting water comes in contact with their body. In response, one of the admirals jumps into the air with white smoke trailing from his body.
"ICE AGE!!"
A sword made of ice was thrust from the Admiral's body, and when it came into contact with the water, it froze into a marvelous ice sculpture.
"LOOK!! BUBBLES ON THE WATER!!"
*BBBAAAAAAAAAMMM*
The next moment, 6 ships emerged from the basin that was the plaza before. These ships are carrying the legendary and iconic White Haired Jolly Roger.
"I–I–IMANAMI!!"
Goldship screamed when she saw the man who stood on the biggest ship of the six.
"Yo–You shouldn't come!!"
"You come, White hair."
The second admiral stood from his seat. Magma exudes from his arms, flooding his surroundings in red-hot magma.
*KKKKKAAAAAAAABBBBBBOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM*
An underwater volcano exploded just nearby, deafening everyone with the first sound wave. The Admiral looks sternly at the White Hair man, only for that stare to be broken when a massive silhouette covers over the battlefield.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! THIS IS THE WORST IDEA EVER!!!"
"I SHOULD NEVER LISTEN TO YOU, RED HAIR!!!"
Everyone at the Marine HQ looks up to where the screams were coming from. They saw thousands of humanoid silhouettes coming down from heaven.
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!! I DON'T WANT TO DDDIIIEEE!!!"
More and more silhouettes came into view, and the biggest one was a silhouette that many on the ground know what it is. It was an aircraft carrier. Falling from god knows thousands of kilometers in the air.
"Aaa…"
"..."
"BUHAHAHAHAHA!! I guess I should expect that from him!! BUHAHAHAHA!!!"
"BARP!! IT'S YOUR ASSISTANT TRAINER AGAIN!!!"
Among those falling silhouettes, a man with red hair was the most eye-catching.
"YOU PROMISE ME THAT IT WOULD BE A FIVE-MINUTE ADVENTURE!!! GGGOOOLLLDDDSSSHHHIIIPPP!!"
"KUKUKU~~ It seems she has found a good friend."
The White Hair man breaks into a big and genuine smile. He looks at the falling red-haired man and at the white-haired woman on the execution platform.
Live well, Goldship.
"THE TWO PIECE!!!! THE TWO PIECE IS RRRREEEEAAAAAALLL!!!"
