I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 203 - 201: Fuji Kiseki Arc - A Rocky Start

Hachiman's POV

A week after submitting the application, it's May, and I'm finally starting as a team trainer. Among trainers, opinions on taking this role were mixed, but support outweighed the naysayers. The opposition? Just a few seniors and peers who don't like . Whatever, doesn't matter.

Today's the first day of team activities, and I've told the mbers to et at the club room after school. So far, so good.

Hachiman: "…Alright, off to the academy."

I'm feeling a bit eager, but it's a new chapter in life, so no big deal.

Hachiman: "How did it co to this…"

Air Groove: "What's wrong, Hachiman?"

Hachiman: "Don't 'what's wrong' … Why are you all waiting at the school gate? I said club room, after school, right?"

CB: "But I wanted to see you, hug you, and get headpats~."

Ardan: "Hehe, CB-san gets it. Anii-sama's headpats feel amazing. So, Anii-sama, could you pat my head?"

Fuji: "Haha…"

Hachiman: "What are you guys on about this early? And Maurice, you're here too?"

Maurice: "Since I'm joining the team today, I thought greeting you in the morning would be better than at the club room."

Pure goodwill… Can't fault her for that.

Rice: "W-Was this a bother?"

Hachiman: "…Nah, don't worry. Let's head to the academy—? What's that?"

Fuji: "Looks like pony-chans running toward us. What's up?"

Arrow: "More like, aren't they coming straight for us?"

…She's right, they're charging this way! Why!? What's going on!?

""""""Trainer!!!""""""

Hachiman: "Whoa, whoa, hold up!! Stop, stay!! What's going on!?"

"Trainer!? What's this about you being a team trainer!? We didn't hear!"

"Yeah! Since when!?"

Fuji: "Oh, I get it. Word's spread that Hachiman Trainer-san's a team trainer now. That's why it's a circus."

Hachiman: "Huh? How'd the students—…Oh."

I know exactly who'd do this. One person cos to mind.

Hachiman: "That idiot Chairman!!"

I stord to the Chairman's office, yelling, to get answers. I didn't mind people knowing, but this chaos? She definitely did sothing.

Knock knock knock

…No answer. Fine, I'm going in.

Hachiman: "Excuse —…This feels familiar."

Tazuna: "You again!? Why can't you show restraint!? You knew two years ago giant posters were a no-go!!" yank!

Akikawa: "S-Sowwy! T-Tazuna, I'm sowwy!! I apowogize!! Pwease, stop pinching my cheeks!!" flail!

Tazuna: "That's why… You're apologizing to the wrong person!!" yank!

…Kinda kills my urge to be mad.

Tazuna: "Hachiman Trainer, I'm so, so sorry!!" 90° bow

Akikawa: "Weally, so sowwy…" teary

Hachiman: "…I heard, but giant posters this ti? Worse than two years ago, huh?"

Tazuna: "Y-Yes… I have no excuse."

Hachiman: "Tazuna-san, you don't need to apologize. But Chairman, nice job pulling it off."

Akikawa: "M-Mm! It's a joyous occasion, so I wanted everyone to know!!"

Hachiman: "Chairman, you realize why I'm here, right?"

Akikawa: "…Sowwy."

Hachiman: "Sigh… Just do normal announcents next ti. A single flyer on the bulletin board. Too late now, though."

It's May, and the team's already set to start. No turning back…

Hachiman: "I can't take more mbers, so I'll turn down hopefuls, but help put out this fire, okay?"

Tazuna: "Of course! Let assist!"

Hachiman: "Chairman, you too."

Akikawa: "M-Mm! Leave it to !"

…First day as a team trainer, and it's already a ss. I give up.

Afterword

Hachiman's team trainer journey kicks off with chaos in this Yahari x Uma Musu chapter! The Chairman's giant poster stunt sparks a frenzy, while Fuji, Air Groove, CB, Rice, Ardan, Maurice, and Arrow rally around. Next up: team na reveal!
