Ever since Hayakawa-san had left Mizuno without saying goodbye, she had been out of the public eye for a little over two months.
Because she had smelled Mizuno's scent before, whenever he was nearby, even if he did not do anything excessive, Hayakawa-san would always find herself unable to stop imagining things, wanting to peel off his clothes and see what was underneath.
So back then, after Hayakawa-san had helped Mizuno test his physical endurance by punching him under the waterfall, she packed her luggage and left alone without saying a word.
In order to keep suppressing her craving for the scent of Uma Mint, Hayakawa-san had traveled through deep mountains and old forests, relying on the power of nature to temper her self-control.
Meditating beneath waterfalls, swimming through swamps, rock climbing along cliffs...
The exhaustion in her muscles, combined with the peace of a spirit cut off from the world, gradually brought Hayakawa-san's heart closer to a state of selflessness, day after day.
And after two months of settling herself, Hayakawa-san finally emerged from seclusion!
Hayakawa-san looked at the photo of Mizuno's black-clad figure on her phone screen. She was no longer as obsessed as before. Her gaze was calm, as if she were merely looking at a photo of an ordinary friend.
"Even if Trainer Mizuno stripped naked in front of me now, my heart wouldn't waver!"
Hayakawa-san raised her head and declared it confidently.
But after only a few seconds, she lowered her head with a little guilt.
"Probably..."
After all, it had taken her this long just to endure his scent. If Trainer Mizuno were completely naked, she probably still would not be able to maintain her composure...
But as long as Trainer Mizuno did not fully expose his Uma Mint constitution, it would be fine, wouldn't it?
With his personality, he should be wearing that black outfit capable of concealing his traits at all times, right?
"Time to go back."
Hayakawa-san put on her classic green uniform, used her green hat to conceal the Umamusume ears on her head, carried her packed belongings on her back, and set foot on the road back to Tracen Academy.
As the secretary most respected by the students of Tracen, Hayakawa-san had taken a full three-month leave. During that time, her phone had been kept offline, and she knew nothing about the outside world—especially what was happening at the Academy. It would be a lie to say she was not worried about the young Umamusume there.
However, the Academy still had the Student Council, represented by Symboli Rudolf, in charge of management, which gave Hayakawa-san some peace of mind.
But when she thought of how the young Umamusume might take advantage of her absence to hide things from the Student Council and commit all sorts of misdeeds against the Trainers, or even become addicted to Uma Pyoi, Hayakawa-san could not help quickening her pace.
"Ten times a day is permissible. Any more than that is excessive. I need to teach them the principle of not draining the pond to catch the fish!"
Only, halfway through her hurried return from the deep mountains, as she passed by an utterly ordinary patch of bushes, Hayakawa-san suddenly stopped.
"........."
Hayakawa-san stood still and brushed aside the nearby bushes, revealing a small path hidden behind them.
"This is?"
Hayakawa-san raised an eyebrow. For some reason, she felt an urge to follow this path.
It was not that she disliked taking the main road, nor did she have some eccentric hobby of deliberately choosing little trails instead. Yet for some unknown reason, there was a voice in her heart constantly telling her to go this way.
'HUGE TREASURE AHEAD!'
"..."
Although Hayakawa-san did not know where this path led, and it was obviously better to return by her original route, after thinking for a few seconds, she still chose to trust her intuition.
"What if there really is some rare scenery waiting for me ahead? The more beautiful sights I take in, the more composure I'll have against Trainer Mizuno. Going to take a look should be fine."
Hayakawa-san successfully convinced herself, then stepped forward.
After pushing aside countless branches and leaves that blocked her vision, Hayakawa-san soon discovered an extremely hidden forest cabin.
"Someone actually lives here?"
Through the cabin's frosted glass, Hayakawa-san could vaguely see several people inside and felt somewhat puzzled.
Those who lived in such a remote place were either reclusive masters who liked living in seclusion, such as El Condor Pasa's father...
Or it was a secret base where an Umamusume hid her beloved away, built specifically to imprison Trainers.
But no matter which it was, Hayakawa-san had no reason to disturb them.
"Let's go."
Yet just as Hayakawa-san was about to go around the cabin and leave, she suddenly caught a familiar scent in the air.
"Wait! This scent?!"
Hayakawa-san's expression shook, and that person whose entire body gave off an alluring fragrance that drew Umamusume in gradually surfaced in her mind. Her heart began pounding along with it.
"Trainer Mizuno?"
"No, no!"
Hayakawa-san shook her head hard.
How could Trainer Mizuno possibly be here?! The distracting thoughts in her heart must not have been fully cleansed yet. The moment she mentioned things like "imprisonment" and "Uma Pyoi," she associated them with Trainer Mizuno again, which was why she was hallucinating!
"Fake! It has to be fake!"
Hayakawa-san closed her eyes and tried to calm her restless heart again.
But in the next second, a voice so good it could make an Umamusume's ears pregnant came from inside the cabin.
"Hayakawa-san, save me!"
"!"
Hayakawa-san's eyes flew wide open. Her Umamusume ears instantly stood upright, nearly knocking the green hat off her head.
Although she had never heard this voice before, that familiar tone made it easy for Hayakawa-san to connect it with the androgynous, utterly ordinary voice in her memories.
"Trainer Mizuno!"
Hayakawa-san's pupils shook violently, and her legs moved on their own as she quickly walked toward the cabin door.
She had clearly trained herself for so long, and had thought she could finally remain calm and composed. Yet the moment she heard his cry for help, Hayakawa-san's heart fell into chaos in less than a second.
BANG!
Hayakawa-san arrived at the door and smashed the wooden door apart with a single kick.
"Trainer Mizuno!"
Hayakawa-san rushed into the cabin in a panic, searching for Mizuno.
Only, she did not see that black plastic-bag spirit. She only saw two Umamusume dorm supervisors she recognized—Hishi Amazon and Fuji Kiseki—and a handsome young man any Umamusume would want to protect for a lifetime after just one glance.
Obviously, this handsome young man, who wore the same outfit but simply did not have his hood on, was Trainer Mizuno!
However, the sight before her was different from what Hayakawa-san had imagined: Mizuno being pinned beneath an Umamusume and ravaged.
Because Mizuno, a weak human, was safely sitting at the dining table, with all sorts of desserts spread out in front of him, looking nothing like he was about to be Uma Pyoi'd by an Umamusume.
Meanwhile, Hishi Amazon and Fuji Kiseki, who could have been the perpetrators, were tangled together on the bed. One Umamusume was on top and the other below, giving off a strong sense of yuri cuddling.
"?"
Hayakawa-san froze in place, for a moment thinking something was wrong with her eyes.
And when Mizuno saw Hayakawa-san burst in through the doorway, he showed a delighted smile.
"Hayakawa-san, hurry and help me figure out what my blood tastes like."
"Hah?!"
