There's Something Wrong With You, Logistics Uma Musume

Kagura found it quite amazing that the green-clad lady at the school gate seemed to be there no matter what, rain or shine. Even now, during summer break, she and Nice Nature still saw her standing there when they arrived at Central Tracen Academy.

"Oh, are you two here to register?"

"Yes, Miss Hayakawa Tazuna, could you please open the gate for us?"

Because there weren't many people at the school during this time, the gate wasn't wide open as usual. Kagura had to ask Hayakawa Tazuna to open it for them.

"Of course, Inari Kagura, and this is... if I remember correctly, Nice Nature?"

What surprised Kagura even more was that Hayakawa Tazuna seemed to know all the students. Even if they weren't wearing their school uniforms, she could still recognize them as students of the academy. She could even recognize Nice Nature, who hadn't even enrolled yet. Kagura was very curious about how Hayakawa Tazuna did it. Even if she had read the entire student roster, it was still terrifying to be able to remember so many students.

"Eh? This big sister knows me?"

"I saw you on the student roster. After all, you're the student with the highest score on the theoretical exam in this year's class. Your theoretical exam results are as excellent as your name. Congratulations on entering Tracen Academy with your outstanding talent and effort."

"Ahaha..."

A little embarrassed by Hayakawa Tazuna's praise, Nice Nature subconsciously ran her finger lightly across her face. She knew that Kagura's tutoring had been indispensable in achieving such a good score on her theoretical exam.

"Little Kagura, this is your second time at Tracen, right? Are you planning to officially register this time?"

"Yes, please take care of me from now on, Miss Hayakawa."

"Mm~ Please take care of me too~ If you're looking for the registration area, you can go to the atrium on the first floor of the teaching building at this time. Maruzensky and Rudolph should be there. They will guide you through the registration process."

"Okay~ Thank you, Miss Hayakawa~"

After the gate opened, they said goodbye to the always-smiling green-hat lady, and the two finally entered Tracen Academy.

It was Nice Nature's first time officially entering, and she was curiously looking around, occasionally asking Kagura questions. Seeing her ears and tail wagging excitedly, Kagura knew that this kid was definitely over the moon right now.

Although Kagura wanted to take Nice Nature on a tour of the school first, they were both carrying a lot of luggage. They had to find their dormitories first to put their luggage down before they had time to continue their exploration.

"Good morning~ Little sister... oh, is this child your friend?"

In the atrium on the first floor of the teaching building, Kagura, as expected, saw Maruzensky, who was already waiting there.

"Yes, she's also a freshman in this year's class. Her name is Nice Nature."

"Eh~ I'm Maruzensky. It's nice to meet you, little sister."

"Y-You... Hello! I... I'm Nice Nature!"

It was Nice Nature's first time meeting another student at Tracen, and it was clear that this was a senior student. Originally young and a little unconfident, Nice Nature's speech became a little unclear.

"Haha, don't be nervous, classmate. Now that you've come to Tracen, just treat us like friends."

Hearing the commotion coming from the entrance, Rudolph Symbol, who was originally inside, also walked to the door to greet the two new students.

"Good morning, Miss President."

"Good morning, Kagura. This is the friend you met in the shopping district, right? If I remember correctly, you're Nice Nature, the freshman with the highest score on the theoretical exam this year, right? Your performance is as excellent as your name. I hope you continue to run at Tracen and find your own shining path. I am Rudolph Symbol, the student council president of Tracen. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Rudolph Symbol was as formal as ever, even when greeting new students. Kagura understood why the other students didn't dare to approach her. Although she looked kind, as long as she was working, she would exude an invisible sense of authority.

"Y-Yes! Senior is too kind. I still have a lot to learn!"

What an imposing senior... As expected of the Symbol family's young lady...

Nice Nature quickly bowed to Rudolph Symbol in response. She suddenly realized something: Kagura's address to this Uma Musume senior, and her name—clearly, this was the young lady who had helped Kagura, allowing her to study at Tracen.

"Since you've come to the atrium, you're here to ask about the registration process and dormitory arrangements, right?"

After a brief greeting, Rudolph Symbol quickly brought the topic back on track, and the two nodded.

"Actually, the registration process is almost over here. Just sign your names on the list here. As for the dormitories... here, these are your keys. They have your dormitory room numbers and building numbers on them. Don't go to the wrong place and disturb the other students who are still at school."

With that, Rudolph Symbol handed the two of them paper bags containing entrance gifts and their dormitory keys. Nice Nature picked up her dormitory key, looked at the room number written on it, and then turned her gaze to Inari Kagura beside her. After seeing Inari Kagura nod in agreement, she leaned over to look at the room number on Inari Kagura's key:

"Eh... Too bad, we're not in the same dormitory... I thought I could share a dormitory with Kagura."

Seeing that the room number on Kagura's key was one floor higher than hers, Nice Nature couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She had been hoping that Kagura could be her roommate.

"It's okay, I also live in Sokuto Dormitory. If Quality wants to find me, she can just climb one floor to find me~"

"Umm... President Senior, can I apply to change dormitories?"

"That's not possible, Nice Nature. After all, it's the school's arrangement, and we have no right to change it at will. Don't be disappointed. It's also a good thing to get to know a new roommate. Encounters with the unknown are also a part of the colorful academy life."

Rudolph Symbol and Kagura could tell at a glance that this child named Nice Nature definitely wanted to be with someone she knew, since they were already friends before entering the school. However, Tracen's arrangements wouldn't take the students' social situations into account. Moreover, getting to know a new roommate might not be a bad thing.

"Well, Quality, there will be other students coming to register later. Let's not disturb the president anymore. Let's go to the dormitory and put our things down. Aren't you tired of carrying them all the time?"

"Okay... Kagura, lead the way. I don't know how to get to the dormitory building."

Fortunately, Nice Nature didn't get discouraged for long, and she quickly recovered.

"Okay, don't walk too slowly, or you'll get lost."

"I definitely won't get lost with Kagura being so big!!"

21. Future Plans

"Hoo-ah~"

After carrying a lot of luggage to her dormitory and doing a simple cleaning, it was already afternoon. Kagura, who had been busy for most of the day, lay down on her bed and stretched comfortably.

This was a double room, and Kagura hadn't yet seen who her roommate was. She didn't know if she didn't have one yet, or if her roommate hadn't been back to the dorm in a long time. Kagura saw neatly folded blankets on the other bed, but they were already covered in a layer of dust.

Tracen's dorms weren't exactly large. The entire room was basically just two desks and beds, plus a long cabinet in the middle and a bathroom. Although it wasn't big, it was decorated delicately. Kagura wondered if anyone did regular maintenance, but she guessed not, since the dorm was very dusty when she first arrived, and she had to put in some effort to clean it before she could lie down.

"..."

Looking at the other half of the bed covered in dust, Kagura felt a slight compulsion coming on.

After lying down for a while, Kagura felt she couldn't take it anymore, so she jumped out of bed, ready to give her dorm a thorough cleaning. She had brought cleaning supplies from the Symbol family, and even though the other area wasn't part of her living space, it was still part of the room, and she didn't like having so much dust in the area where she lived.

Thanks to Kagura's usual housework skills, plus the tools she had on hand, she quickly cleaned the small room. Looking at the finally clean room, Kagura nodded in satisfaction and lay back on her bed, taking out her phone.

--Kagura, are you settled in over there?

As soon as she opened her phone, Kagura saw an unread message. She only had one friend added, so even without a name, she knew who it was from.

--All done, the dorm is clean too. Any plans, Quality?

--Not really, I'm a little hungry. I heard the cafeteria is open, want to go check it out together?

--Sure.

So, the two hit it off and decided to go to the cafeteria for a meal.

Tracen's cafeteria looked big from the outside, and you could smell the aroma from far away. Today was Kagura's first time entering this building she had been looking forward to for so long. As soon as she entered, the rich aroma of food filled her nostrils, causing Nice Nature, who was already a little hungry, to protest.

The cafeteria had a wide variety of dishes, all with great color, aroma, and taste, and it was free and self-service. Although Kagura personally felt it wasn't as good as her own cooking, it was free, and the experience was top-notch for the price. It was much better than her university cafeteria.

Nice Nature, who was with her, was already lost in the sea of food. It was her first time seeing such a grand scene, and she was completely like a country bumpkin in the city. Faced with so many choices, she was already dizzy just looking at them. Holding her plate, she wandered between the stalls, not knowing what to choose.

Kagura, on the other hand, was chatting with the enthusiastic cafeteria uncles and aunts while getting food at the stalls. If she could give a rating, she would definitely give these uncles and aunts who never skimped on portions a perfect score.

From chatting with the uncles and aunts, Kagura also learned that the kitchen here could be borrowed by students. If students wanted to show off their cooking skills to their classmates, this was the best place to do it.

'That's great... Maybe I can come here to study how to cook when I have time?'

Kagura remembered that there was a kitchen that could be used freely, thinking that she could come here to show off her skills when she had time. After all, the cafeteria usually didn't make some dishes.

After getting her food, Kagura turned around to look for Nice Nature, and found that the other's plate was still empty, and she looked very distressed.

"Ugh! Kagura, there are so many things I want to eat, I don't know what to eat first!!"

"Take it easy, Quality. I remember you don't eat that much. It's not good to waste food. From a nutritional point of view, I still recommend you eat these..."

Seeing that Nice Nature had no idea where to start, Kagura gave her some suggestions on what to choose based on some of the theoretical knowledge she had learned. Although Kagura wasn't sure if the taste and preferences matched, she could still ensure that Nice Nature was nutritionally balanced.

Fortunately, Nice Nature was a good girl and wasn't picky about food, and she basically ate whatever Kagura recommended.

"Although Tracen's food is delicious, I still miss what Kagura makes..."

"There will be a chance. I'll try to make you a few meals here in the future. Quality, you just need to go to school with peace of mind."

Seeing that Nice Nature still missed her cooking, Kagura could only smile helplessly.

'Looks like I might have to borrow the kitchen here often in the future...'

Silently noting the process of borrowing the cafeteria, Kagura made a decision in her heart.

Originally, Nice Nature wanted to sit in Kagura's dorm and play with her after eating, but Rudolph Symbol seemed to have some procedures that Nice Nature needed to handle, so in the end, only Kagura returned to the dorm alone.

Although it was already night, Kagura still hadn't seen her roommate return. She guessed that she wouldn't see her roommate during the summer vacation.

'I hope she's not some weirdo who's hard to talk to...'

Kagura didn't have any big requirements for her roommate, as long as she wasn't the kind of freak who couldn't communicate.

Since she didn't have any work arrangements for the time being, and Kagura was already tired after being busy for most of the day, she naturally didn't want to go looking for trouble, so she just kept scrolling through her phone.

Besides watching some interesting videos, Kagura's favorite thing to do was watch all kinds of food videos. It was just that these food videos often popped up on her homepage late at night, making her love and hate them.

Of course, on the video websites of this world, there were not only humans, but also Uma Musume. Kagura accidentally came across a video of an Uma Musume named Machikane, and saw that her number of fans was quite considerable, and she was widely praised, which gave Kagura, who was still worried about what to do in the future, an inspiration.

"That's right... Studying is so idle, and the work intensity won't be too high on weekdays. Can I try to be a blogger too?"

Adding another note to her future plans in her heart, although Kagura hadn't decided what kind of blogger she wanted to be for the time being, the idol route taken by the blogger named Machikane was definitely not suitable for her. This matter still needed to be considered, but it was still a goal.

22. An Uma Musume who doesn't want to be a Trainer isn't a good Uma Musume (outrageous theory)

"Hmm..."

Rudolph Symbol woke up groggily from her sleep. She felt like she heard someone calling her.

"Ojou-sama, it's time to get up."

Slightly more awake, Rudolph Symbol finally confirmed that someone was indeed calling her. The voice was calm and gentle, like the soft sunlight gently stroking her ear.

"Kagura... Why are you in my dorm?"

Rudolph Symbol recognized the voice, and she woke up immediately. She saw Inari Kagura standing by her bed, looking at her.

"You gave me the dorm key last night, and asked me to wake you up tomorrow morning. Don't you remember?"

"Uh..."

Feeling that her memory was a bit fragmented, Rudolph Symbol tried hard to recall what happened last night.

She remembered it should have been around eleven o'clock at night. She was in her office, still flipping through the last document, when she heard a knock. An Uma Musume walked in...

"Last night, I received a call from Ms. Toujou, saying you were still working overtime at the student council and asked me to bring you back to the dormitory to rest."

Seeing Rudolph Symbol still dazed, Kagura guessed she had a fragmented sleep and filled her in on what happened last night.

Rudolph Symbol vaguely remembered some things. After Kagura entered the office, she told her to rest quickly, saying she would go after finishing the last document. She vaguely remembered signing the last document, and then Kagura gave her a massage. She felt an incredibly warm and comfortable aura enveloping her, and the memories after that completely blurred into a blur, with only the long-lost peace and relaxation deeply imprinted in her memory.

"You managed to walk back to the dormitory, and then, half-asleep, you took a shower, changed your clothes, and fell asleep directly on me... Ahem, Miss, while hard work is commendable, exhausting yourself like this is not appropriate."

It's no exaggeration to say that Rudolph Symbol's performance when she returned to the dormitory last night could be described as sleepwalking. A little after eleven o'clock, Kagura, who was already watching food videos to hypnotize herself to sleep, received a message from Toujou Hana, asking her to drag Rudolph Symbol back.

Having received the task, Kagura hurriedly ran downstairs to report to the dorm manager and then ran all the way to the teaching building. When she entered the student council office, Rudolph Symbol was still relatively awake. Later, after she asked if she wanted help with a massage, Rudolph Symbol began to sleepwalk.

"Ah..."

After listening to Kagura's detailed description of her itinerary last night, Rudolph Symbol couldn't help but blush. However, she felt particularly energetic today, indicating that her sleep quality last night was quite high.

She looked around her dormitory. During this time, she had been so busy with her debut race and internal school affairs that she had neglected to tidy up. She didn't know when her dormitory had been cleaned up spotlessly. All kinds of items, large and small, had been returned to their places, and the scattered clothes were hung neatly. The desk and floor seemed to have been swept, with not a speck of dust visible, gleaming dazzlingly in the sunlight.

"Okay, let's not talk about last night for now, Miss. Now that you're awake, hurry up and wash up. The clothes you need to change into are already hanging in the closet, and breakfast is prepared on the table. I woke up a bit late today, so I could only bring breakfast from the cafeteria. Next time, I'll bring you a breakfast I made myself."

Rudolph Symbol, who still wanted to ask something, was pulled up and pushed to wash up by Kagura. Long before Rudolph Symbol woke up, Kagura had already gotten up, cleaned and tidied up her dormitory, and brought breakfast along the way.

When she changed her clothes, ate breakfast, and prepared to go out, Rudolph Symbol, still feeling a bit dazed from the excellent sleep last night, remembered what Speed Symbol had told her about Kagura.

"Once in a while should be fine, right..."

Rudolph Symbol thought to herself. She had been so busy lately that she couldn't even take care of herself. She rarely felt so good when going out. This feeling of being taken care of was indeed very nice. Besides, Kagura was just a child, after all. It's impossible for her to do this every day, so she would just enjoy it occasionally.

After sending Rudolph Symbol to the student council to start her work for the day, Kagura also temporarily entered a state of free activity. Because it was still summer vacation, Tracen Academy headquarters had not arranged any theoretical courses, so she had no classes to attend for the time being.
