Option 1: Of course.
Option 2: Sorry, you can’t.
“An option finally appeared?”
No wonder the story had not ended earlier.
It had been waiting to present this decision.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu’ang was currently immersed inside the game and could not turn toward the Three Goddesses to ask questions.
Those three entertainment-seeking deities never revealed details unless he asked directly.
[Horse Girl Enthusiast]: That expression!
Ah!
Too precious!
I’m dying!
Trainer A, don’t reject her!
How could you reject such an adorable horse girl?!
[Unbreakable Glass]: She admired Silence Suzuka and now wants to follow her example?
Sharing the same Trainer would make it easier to remain together.
[White-Eyed H-Manga Sensei]: Something feels strange.
I think there’s a problem here.
[Horse Girl Enthusiast]: What problem?
One horse girl discovered an idol, became her fan, and wants to join the same Trainer’s team.
What’s wrong with that?
[Festival Girl]: Exactly.
Why would that be strange?
[Invincible Seaside-sama]: Right.
[Tracen Pun Master]: This is common, isn’t it?
She merely wants the same Trainer as the senior she admires.
[White-Eyed H-Manga Sensei]: Think about it.
One horse girl admires another and joins that horse girl’s team.
[White-Eyed H-Manga Sensei]: Her original goal may be gaining more opportunities to speak with her idol, but interaction with the Trainer becomes unavoidable.
[White-Eyed H-Manga Sensei]: Suppose—and this is purely hypothetical—the Trainer also treats the newcomer gently.
Over time, the newcomer grows accustomed to her idol, and the initial excitement fades.
[White-Eyed H-Manga Sensei]: Meanwhile, she gradually becomes dependent upon the Trainer’s care.
The Trainer has been with the original horse girl for a long time and begins finding the relationship dull.
What happens then?
[Perfect Red Goddess-sama]: Isn’t that the seven-year itch?
[White-Eyed H-Manga Sensei]: Exactly.
People crave novelty.
The Trainer’s self-restraint may not be reliable.
[White-Eyed H-Manga Sensei]: This newcomer looks innocent, but precisely because she is innocent, she may be spoiled by both the Trainer and her senior… Or perhaps, because she grew up in the countryside, her understanding of certain matters is immature.
Then she might begin targeting her senior’s Trainer…
[Tracen Pun Master]: You mean the junior joins because she admires the senior, then steals the senior’s Trainer because she doesn’t understand proper boundaries?
[Invincible Seaside-sama]: Huh?
[Festival Girl]: What?!
Horse girls actually do that?!
[Horse Girl Enthusiast]: This… could it be… NTR?!
This is NTR!
[Horse Girl Enthusiast]: Stop!
Don’t say any more!
Don’t continue!
Hnnng… Aaaaaaah!
The pink-haired viewer emitted an indescribable scream of agony from a dedicated shipper.
Her polished fingernails scraped repeatedly across her scalp.
Her head hurt.
Her heart hurt more.
She loved horse girls.
She also loved pairings involving horse girls.
Her feeding range was broad.
She supported horse girls being affectionate with one another.
She also supported horse girls being affectionate with Trainers.
In other words, this indiscriminate multi-oshi fanatic was also an indiscriminate shipper.
She was neither a yuri extremist nor a horse girl who hated same-sex relationships.
She simply enjoyed the fairy-like adorableness of horse girls and the harmonious relationships they shared with those around them.
She had once sworn that she would love every kind and beautiful pairing equally, regardless of its composition.
But horse girls cuckolding one another…
She did not want a story that ended with one horse girl shedding tears!
She became happy when horse girls were happy.
She rejoiced when they felt joy.
She became angry when they were angry.
When a horse girl suffered after losing a race, she cried uncontrollably.
If a horse girl was romantically betrayed because of another horse girl…
She would explode!
“This can’t be real.
What is this?
It’s terrifying.”
Silence Suzuka was startled by the comments.
She turned toward Special Week, who was still rubbing her hands together like a small animal begging for shelter.
Perhaps because of the conversation, Suzuka suddenly felt that Special Week’s violet eyes looked slightly suspicious.
[Hates Flashbulbs and Lunatics]: The one drawing filthy comics and the one having a breakdown—both of you, stop!
You idiots!
The Empress gritted her teeth at the screen.
Watching the commenters spiral into madness gave her a headache.
If every viewer was a horse girl, that meant they were all students.
The one who immediately began saying strange things clearly required repairs to her brain.
You had better hope I never catch you.
Otherwise, Air Groove would punish her severely.
One hundred!
[Hates Flashbulbs and Lunatics]: This is obviously a normal horse girl joining a team.
A Trainer and horse girl build a reputation, then younger horse girls hear about them and join.
That is how another Tracen team is formed.
[Hates Flashbulbs and Lunatics]: Most teams at Tracen are created this way!
[Hates Flashbulbs and Lunatics]: To borrow the streamer’s own words, you’re wearing yellow-tinted glasses, so everything you see appears yellow!
“To be fair, she’s right.”
Even Zhou Yu’ang had nearly been overwhelmed by the comments.
Tama-dammit.
Why was their imagination so active?
Young lady who drew dirty comics, if she continued this nonsense, Zhou Yu’ang would seduce her and invite her to his wedding with her older sister.
“Everyone, listen carefully.
There is no NTR in this horse-girl game!”
When controversy erupted, the streamer needed to respond.
The imagination of a certain wealthy young lady might negatively influence the younger horse girls watching.
As a Trainer, Zhou Yu’ang had a duty to correct dangerous ideas before they took root.
“As the viewer who sounds suspiciously like a student council member explained, many teams begin with one Trainer and one horse girl slowly building a reputation.
Juniors hear about them and join.”
Zhou Yu’ang refuted the claim with righteous conviction.
He wanted the horse girls present to maintain a healthy mindset.
They should not assume NTR whenever a horse girl interacted with a Trainer who already had trainees.
What would happen if the audience became corrupted by such ideas?
The moment they saw their Trainer speaking with another horse girl, they would lose control, become furious, and resort to yandere behavior such as kidnapping and imprisonment.
How many Trainers and horse girls would be driven down the wrong path?
Righteous Zhou Yu’ang could not watch basement tragedies repeat endlessly.
Besides, one of these viewers might eventually become my trainee.
Helping others meant helping himself.
Zhou Yu’ang continued persuading them.
“This situation is completely normal.
Stop treating it as something suspicious!”
“If every horse girl thought that way, teams wouldn’t exist anywhere in this world.”
After hearing his explanation, many horse girls realized the problem.
“But you’re the Trainer who wants thirty horse-girl wives, aren’t you?”
The horse girl using White-Eyed H-Manga Sensei typed that sentence.
The instant she attempted to send it, a notification appeared.
You have been muted and temporarily cannot post comments.
“Muted?!”
The horse girl leaned backward in surprise.
She stared at the unsent message.
Was she punished because she had stirred controversy?
Or had she touched the streamer’s most sensitive nerve?
“Thinking about it… what I said earlier was rather…”
She rubbed the long black hair covering her head and considered her behavior.
Had she not been deliberately causing drama?
She had stayed awake all night drawing adult doujinshi.
Now her exhausted brain automatically converted everything into a dirty story.
But the Trainer’s earlier declaration truly had made him sound like the public enemy of every horse girl at Tracen.
Then again, a man who possessed such thoughts but refused to admit them might be even more dangerous.
“What kind of person is he?
He said the Three Goddesses approved this broadcast, didn’t he?”
Why would the Three Goddesses recognize a Trainer like him?
Did they also approve his dream?
Who was this man?
“But now I’m muted and can’t ask anything.
I’m like a spoiled young lady who made an unreasonable statement and was silenced by justice… Wait!”
Was she a wealthy young lady?
She turned and examined the family mansion, which was larger than Tracen Academy.
Yes.
She believed she qualified.
“So… I also possess the potential to become a doujin heroine?!”
The horse girl who had spent the entire night drawing suddenly thought of something.
She grabbed her head with both hands.
“I said something infuriating and someone put a gag in my mouth.
Next… next… No!”
That man would definitely find her.
He would discover the evidence that she drew all kinds of explicit doujinshi and appear before her.
“You wouldn’t want your family to discover what you’ve been doing, would you?”
“You’re a daughter of that family, yet you create such things.
Surely they’ll disown you and leave you homeless if they learn the truth.”
He would say things like that.
Whether her family discovered the secret or she was blackmailed, she would eventually be forced into all kinds of unspeakable acts.
“Either that scumbag Trainer who wants thirty horse girls will treat me like a toy… or he’ll marry me and then every night…”
The doujin artist whimpered, crossed her arms over her chest, and curled into a ball.
Her eyes trembled as she stared at the screen.
She feared that the paper avatar would suddenly crawl out, shout that he was taking her home to become his personal something, then drag her inside the display.
“Isn’t that child thinking far too much?”
Outside the game, Godolphin rested one hand against her cheek and watched the horse girl curled into a ball.
“Why did you mute her?”
Byerley crossed her arms and spoke casually.
“If we didn’t, she would continue disrupting Little Lamb’s stream.”
Darley understood the reasoning.
Byerley disagreed.
“He is a Trainer.
A Trainer is responsible for guiding horse girls toward victory and personal growth.
If he cannot handle something this minor, what right does he have to call himself one?”
Fortunately, Godolphin intervened.
She poked Byerley’s cheek.
“That’s enough.
Let’s watch the stream… Oh, he accepted Special Week.”
Inside the game, Zhou Yu’ang directly approved Special Week’s request.
After his explanation, several horse girls posted apologies.
The doujin artist, however, remained absent.
Zhou Yu’ang found that strange.
Why had she stopped speaking?
Surely she had not become so upset that she shut herself away.
The broadcast remained more important.
Zhou Yu’ang selected Of course.
Special Week pressed her hands together in delight and bowed deeply in gratitude.
A new interface appeared.
Additional Support Card Acquired: Special Week — The Sunset Is the Color of Longing
“An unexpected support?”
Was this what the Three Goddesses meant by special story events?
The game returned to the main interface.
Silence Suzuka still stood on-screen.
When Zhou Yu’ang opened the training menu, however, Special Week now appeared at the facilities behind her.
Much like in the future Aoharu Cup scenario, she warmed up behind Silence Suzuka.
Among the support portraits above the training panel, a Special Week icon with its own bond gauge had appeared.
“Speed Spe?”
Zhou Yu’ang knew Speed Special Week extremely well.
It had been an event-reward card from the early days of the game.
Back then, claiming every event reward required enormous effort.
It was nothing like later events, whose rewards could be completed in a single day.
Anyone who wanted the fully limit-broken version of the card had to grind until their hair fell out.
“We designed every career so that horse girls connected to the main trainee may appear as additional supports.
You normally provide five cards and borrow one.
We grant you a seventh.”
Zhou Yu’ang looked back at the Three Goddesses.
Darley wore an extremely proud expression.
She seemed to be saying:
Why haven’t you thanked your goddess elder sister yet?
Seven-card career mode?
He was taking flight!
“It appears the goddesses have made tremendous improvements to the gameplay experience.
Truly, the Three Goddesses are merciful.”
Zhou Yu’ang praised them appropriately.
It would have been even better if he no longer needed to grind event cards.
“As you can see, having a teammate participate in joint training is extremely convenient.”
Zhou Yu’ang demonstrated the benefit of an additional partner.
An extra support raised the potential ceiling.
The horse girls, however, cared more about what appeared on-screen.
Regardless of which training Zhou Yu’ang selected, the adorable and foolish Special Week appeared behind Silence Suzuka as her sparring partner.
Ordinarily, the horse girls represented by different Support Cards would have joined.
Here, every one had been replaced by Special Week.
But Special Week was adorable and obedient.
Watching her earnestly train beside Silence Suzuka, then occasionally wave toward the screen where the Trainer stood, excited many viewers.
Especially a certain pink-haired one.
[Horse Girl Enthusiast]: A horse girl who is powerful, adorable, and won’t steal Silence Suzuka’s Trainer is absolutely wonderful!
“Why are you still stuck on that?”
Stop thinking about NTR!
Zhou Yu’ang nearly wanted to pass through the screen and wash that horse girl’s brain.
“A training partner?”
Silence Suzuka watched Special Week appearing at the edge of various scenes.
She worried slightly over whether the game’s Special Week was receiving proper training herself.
The career focused primarily upon Suzuka, but the enthusiastic junior drew her attention.
She felt like an excellent little sister.
Would such a devoted fan eventually appear in reality?
“In that case, I won’t be lonely during morning and evening runs.
However…”
Watching the two horse girls run together, one ahead and one behind, Silence Suzuka became serious.
“I’m definitely faster.”
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu’ang could not hear that declaration, which resembled something spoken by an elementary-school boy.
He was still serving time inside the Uma Musume game.
