"...Trainer, I think you should take a shower."
Air Groove walked up to Zhou Yuang and nearly lost control of her expression.
Zhou Yuang smelled of Takamine and Aldan. That made sense. But he also carried the scents of other Uma Musume.
Air Groove didn't recognize those scents, and it infuriated her.
So the Mejiro Family has more contenders?
It did. Those two scents belonged to Little McQueen and Bright.
On his last night at the Mejiro Family's estate, they had held a pajama party. Zhou Yuang had chatted with Little McQueen, Bright, and the other Mejiro Uma Musume for a while. Then he, four Uma Musume, and two ghosts had lain down in one bed and gone to sleep, with nothing improper happening.
They hadn't done anything, but their scents had rubbed off on him. Explaining what had happened wouldn't be easy.
"As a Mejiro Family trainer, the Trainer must always remain elegant. We took good care of him during his stay."
Takamine saw Air Groove growing anxious and immediately tried to calm her down. After all, something far more upsetting awaited her in a month.
"He would never appear before everyone looking disheveled."
"Trainer doesn't belong to any one family."
Did you just claim Trainer for the Mejiro Family?
Air Groove gritted her teeth. She suddenly recalled Bourbon carrying Zhou Yuang away from McQueen.
Question Bourbon. Understand Bourbon. Become Bourbon.
Every one of you Mejiro Uma Musume has a scheming streak!
Air Groove nearly ground her molars to dust.
"Mm. That's true for us Uma Musume."
Takamine's words sounded like a concession, but she remained perfectly composed. It was hard to tell what the proud Uma Musume was thinking.
Air Groove couldn't immediately grasp Takamine's implication. At that moment, Rudolf hurried to smooth things over.
