Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: The Stress of Raising a Child

Tracen Academy's student dormitories were divided into two parts: the Ritto Dormitory to the south and the Miho Dormitory to the north.

Fujiwara Shirayuki was assigned to Miho.

Arriving at the entrance, Chiya saw a Horse Girl with long blue hair and brown skin. Her fiery red eyes looked in their direction.

The moment their gazes met, the Horse Girl smiled, revealing sharp canine teeth, and greeted him.

"Trainer Chiya."

"Good evening, Amazon," Chiya responded.

The girl before him was the head of the Miho Dormitory, Hishi Amazon. Due to Tracen's liberal school culture, most school affairs were handled by the student council, and the dorms were managed by their respective heads.

Therefore, any goings-on in the dorms were reported to the dorm head first.

"Is the kid behind you the new transfer student?"

She had heard from Tazuna earlier in the afternoon that a new student would be moving in.

"Yes."

Hishi Amazon strode over and stood in front of Shirayuki, extending a hand enthusiastically. "Hello, I'm the head of the Miho Dormitory, Hishi Amazon."

"My name is Fujiwara Shirayuki. It's nice to meet you, Hishi Amazon-san."

"Not bad, not bad. Much more polite than Trainer Chiya was when he first arrived."

"Huh? What did I do?"

"Have you forgotten, Trainer Chiya? That time you snuck into the girls' dorm and got caught by the Horse Girls. If it weren't for Miss Hayakawa, you would have been torn to pieces."

"Wait a minute!" Chiya held up his hand. "I was looking for the administration office that day and accidentally walked in here. What do you mean 'snuck in'?! The student dorms are right next to the administration building."

Chiya pointed to a nearby building that looked remarkably similar to the student dorms.

Who knew that Tracen's administration building was separate from the academic buildings? It had caused him to wander around in circles before he finally found the wrong place.

"It's your fault for not wearing your trainer badge. Otherwise, those girls wouldn't have treated you like a suspicious person."

He had been tied up and thrown in front of Hishi Amazon. Just as everyone was discussing how to deal with this pervert peeking into the girls' dorm, Tazuna had appeared just in time to clear up the misunderstanding.

"But hey, on the bright side, now the whole dorm knows you're a trainer."

"No! God, please..." Chiya covered his face. He didn't want to be known for that incident. At the time, he had wanted to graduate on the spot and fast-forward to his next life to start over.

"Oh, come on, what's the big deal? The misunderstanding was cleared up, and everyone forgave you," Hishi Amazon laughed, clapping him on the back. "Shirayuki-san, do you want to hear more about Trainer Chiya? Your cousin is pretty famous among the students."

"I'm begging you, please don't."

Revealing his dark past right in front of him was as good as killing him.

"Just kidding. Trainer Chiya is actually quite dedicated." Giving him some face, Hishi Amazon turned and said, "Alright, Shirayuki-san, come with me. I'll take you to get your supplies."

"Yes, Hishi Amazon-san."

"Just call me Amazon."

The two entered the dormitory. Due to regulations, non-students were not allowed to enter freely, so Chiya could only wait outside.

"I'm counting on you to take care of Shirayuki, Amazon."

"But of course," she said with a wave.

Once they disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Chiya closed the main door, and at the same time, his attention shifted to Shirayuki.

"Has Shirayuki's class been decided already?"

"Middle School, Class 3."

"Then that makes me your senior," Hishi Amazon said, pointing to herself, her curved lips revealing her small fangs again.

"Then... Amazon-senpai?"

"Yes, yes, senpai. Call me senpai." Seemingly very pleased with this title, Hishi Amazon nodded repeatedly. "If you ever need help with anything, you can come find me."

"Understood."

Arriving at the innermost room, Hishi Amazon took out a key and opened the door. Inside were stockpiles of student supplies.

Besides quilts, pillowcases, and bedsheets, there were also student uniforms, including the school uniform, training uniform, and dance outfit.

Seeing the dance outfit in her hands, Chiya paused.

"The dance outfit... that means I'll have to practice singing and dancing in the future, right?" Shirayuki asked, her words slightly jumbled.

"Of course. As a Horse Girl, you can't just be good at running. You also need to sing and dance on the Winning Live stage. Only by developing in all aspects—morally, intellectually, physically, artistically, and laboriously—can you become the best Horse Girl."

"That makes sense."

Shirayuki touched the dance outfit in her hands.

The two Horse Girls he had been in charge of before had never had the chance to wear this outfit, which represented a Horse Girl's most glorious moment. Because of his incompetence, that dream was forever buried in a past that could never be realized.

"What's wrong, Shirayuki? Is there something wrong with the clothes?"

Seeing her staring blankly at the outfit, Hishi Amazon asked.

"No, the quality is great," Shirayuki shook her head. "But I think what's even greater is being able to help the Horse Girls who wear these clothes fulfill their dreams."

That is, to participate in the Winning Live.

"You're right," Hishi Amazon nodded. "No matter how beautiful the clothes are, they're just an empty shell. What's truly important is the honor they symbolize. So, to be worthy of these clothes, you'll have to work hard too."

"I will."

"Of course, you can't neglect your dancing either."

"Eh..."

After finally gathering all the supplies, Shirayuki dragged a large bag of luggage upstairs. Looking at the dozen or so sets of clothes and a full set of bedding inside, she couldn't help but marvel at how well the students were treated. When he went to school, he had to provide all his own dorm supplies.

As expected of Japan's top academy, the treatment was on a completely different level from ordinary schools. Although, the tuition fees here were also ridiculously high.

Speaking of tuition, Shirayuki suddenly froze.

She realized a very serious problem.

As a fabricated relative, Fujiwara Shirayuki obviously had no parents. So, who was going to pay her tuition?

The answer to the question was also obvious. Besides Fujiwara Chiya, no one else could cover her school fees.

In other words, not only do I have to be a student, but I also have to pay tuition!

At this thought, a wave of despair washed over Chiya.

You've got to be kidding me. With a trainer's meager salary, paying such a large sum is going to hurt! Not only that, but there are also Shirayuki's daily expenses, casual clothes, horseshoes, and sometimes nutritional supplements. These are all significant costs.

At this moment, Fujiwara Chiya, a man who lived alone, suddenly felt the pressure of raising a child.

With a thud, all the strength drained from her body. Fujiwara Shirayuki knelt in front of her dorm room door, her eyes vacant. A few seconds later, a brown-haired girl opened the door.
