Mihono Bourbon lowered her head towards Ryuichi's bowl of miso soup. She pursed her cherry-pink lips slightly and blew a gentle stream of air to cool it.
The cool breath from the young Uma Musume's mouth caused the steam rising from the hot soup to dissipate slightly. And she didn't stop, patiently continuing to blow, repeating the action over and over.
Hiss—
Someone in the cafeteria audibly sucked in a breath. Instantly, everyone turned to stare with horrified eyes at the perpetrator who had caused such a beautiful Uma Musume to personally cool his soup for him—Kitano Ryuichi!
There weren't many people in the cafeteria. Although it was lunchtime and the cafeteria served food 24/7, not many Uma Musume ate at this specific time. Still, there were a few, eating in small groups. Some teams were even eating with their trainers after finishing a training session.
And because it was quiet, every little move from Ryuichi and Bourbon's table was incredibly conspicuous.
When the other trainers saw that Ryuichi could get such a beautiful Uma Musume to provide this kind of service, their eyes filled with a mixture of envy and pity.
Envy, because this handsome guy had such a gorgeous Uma Musume. Pity, because the action Bourbon was displaying had already shown these "experienced" Tracen trainers what Kitano Ryuichi's future held.
This was the kind of thing an assigned Uma Musume only did when her affection level was completely maxed out! This kid had likely already been marked by his charge, his entire future probably planned out in secret.
A horse girl's feelings are sincere. This was a universally acknowledged fact. And in the closed environment of Tracen Academy, where both trainers and Uma Musume were exceptional individuals, it was natural for the exceptional to be drawn to the exceptional.
In such an environment, after spending a long time together, many initially pure and sincere feelings would... curdle. This was a truth most experienced trainers at Tracen could relate to. The girls they had once doted on like children would grow closer day by day, and before they knew it, they had fallen into the devil's snare...
And as everyone knew, a human's physique was no match for a horse girl's. Even the most ordinary horse girl had three times the physical strength of an adult human. If they really wanted to do something to someone with all their might, no one could resist their will.
Every year, there were a few cases of missing trainers at Tracen. Most of these trainers were later found in a clubroom on campus or a room in an abandoned school building.
Or, in a Uma Musume's home, or even her dorm room—the latter being the worst-case scenario, as dorms were for two people, meaning both were culprits.
Those trainers who were found were mostly "haggard" and "worn out" from the ordeal. And these kidnapped or imprisoned trainers didn't have any deep-seated hatred with their charges. On the contrary, before being clubbed unconscious, they were model partners with deep bonds. It was only after their love confessions were rejected that their pent-up feelings would erupt.
Therefore, the trainers at Tracen walked on eggshells around their charges. They couldn't be too cold, lest it affect their charge's mood and performance, but they couldn't be too warm either—otherwise, their personal safety and chastity would be in jeopardy.
And for those trainers who were enveloped by their charge's undisguisable love before they could react... they could only pray for the best. However, most of them met a grim fate.
Accept the charge's confession = uma pyoi that very day = shattered pelvis.
Reject the charge's confession = get clubbed unconscious that very day = imprisonment = forced uma pyoi = shattered pelvis.
It seemed there were only these two paths for trainers in crisis. Therefore, they were extremely careful, terrified that their fragile pelvises would be broken. There were still a few seniors lying in the hospital; one could never forget.
And so, upon seeing Ryuichi and Bourbon's dynamic, these trainers collectively mourned his future. This poor kid had no idea what awaited him... They hoped he had reserved a bed in the hospital.
Several other Uma Musume, seeing this, had their eyes light up. They grabbed the miso soup or drinks from their own trainer's trays and began to mimic Bourbon, blowing on them.
Their reasons were all uniform: "Oh my, Trainer, your soup is too hot, let me cool it for you," or "This drink is too warm, it would be bad if you burned yourself."
Of course, their trainers knew exactly what their charges were up to. They watched with exasperated faces as the girls blew on their ice-filled drinks, wondering what they were worried about. That they'd swallow the ice cubes? Or that the carbonation would destroy their intestines...?
At that moment, after blowing for a short while, Bourbon seemed satisfied. Just as the embarrassed Ryuichi thought she was about to return the soup, she picked up the spoon she had been using for her omurice, dipped it into the bowl, stirred it, scooped up a small amount, and held it up to Ryuichi's mouth.
"Please test the temperature, Mr. Kitano." Her eyes shone with a solemn light, her expression unwavering as she spoke to him, word by word.
"Please open your mouth. Ahh~"
