Chapter 151 - Chapter 151: One Man Vs One Gorilla

"What's with the get-up?"

"I need to protect my skin."

Of course, the young man's trainees quickly call out his new clothes. The sun is shining, but nothing a good sun cream can't help. A simple umbrella should do the trick if he wants to enjoy a little shade.

"Besides, I already have a girlfriend. I can't have you girls oggle me."

"KUH!!!"

The entire team kicks the ground in annoyance and anger upon the young man mentioning his girlfriend. There's nothing that they want more than killing that bitch. Not only did that bitch take what is theirs, but she also forced him to hide himself from them. How cruel can one person be?

"Is this it?"

"Most likely…? Yo, trainer."

"Goldship?"

The young man turns around to see the laziest member of his team. He did see her, but what surprised him was who was standing behind her. The individual stands with silent confidence in herself. Tied up brown hair that reminds the young man of hot chocolate flows on either side of the umamusume's face. Vivid red eyes stare past the visor, carrying a tiny bit of mischief with them. The little smile she has doesn't help with the image of her being an imp.

"What's wrong?"

"The hell are you wearing?"

"My clothes."

"No, it's not!! This is the first time I've ever seen you with that!!"

"What? Can a man not try something new?"

"That's it. Gentil, can you extend both of your arms forward?"

"Hmm? Sure."

"Alright. Open as wide as you can, and then close them!"

*BBBBOOOOOOOOOMMMM*

From the palm of the Gorilla, a powerful sonic explosion travels forward to the cloaked young man at Mach 10. With his [Truth Seeing Eyes], he can see the shockwave traveling through the air, but he is ultimately powerless to do anything about it.

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

The young man could only scream his lungs out as the shockwave tore his cloak bit by bit. If it were any normal person, they would've only felt and seen the destruction in a fraction of a second, but the young man was special. With despair in his heart, he watches as the wind tears his cloak apart. First the zipper, then the pocket, then a rip on the shoulder, then a patch on the leg, and continue.

Like Mister Perfecter Cell upon being hit by Gohan's Father and Son Kamehameha, the young man could only sing My Way by Frank Sinatra.

"And now, the end is near.

And so I face, the final curtain.

My friend, I'll say it clear.

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.

I've traveled each and every highway.

Oh, and more, much more than this.

I did it mmyyyyy waaaaay~~

Regrets, I've had a few.

But then again, too few to mention.

I did what I had to do.

And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course.

Each careful step along the byway.

But more, much more than this.

I did it mmyyyyy waaaaay~~

Yes! There were times, I'm sure you knew.

When I bit off more than I could chew.

But through it all, when there was doubt.

I ate it up and spit it out.

The record shows, I took the blows.

And did it~~~

MMMMYYYYYY WWWWAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY~~~~!!!"

"Why did he start singing?"

"I have no idea."

"I suppose that is to be expected of your trainer, Goldship."

"What does that supposed to mean?!?"

"You okay, boss?"

"I'm dead."

"Honestly, I thought I'd be seeing chunks of meat."

The young man lies on the dirt. Thank Goodness he didn't commit to only wearing the cloak and wearing something else underneath. It was just a thin shirt and shorts, but it's better than being outright naked.

"...slut."

"Shut it! I got stripped by that gorilla over there."

"Who are you calling a gorilla?"

"You!"

Gentildonna was pleasantly surprised when the young man snapped back at her. He has seen her strength, but there's no fear in his voice and eyes when talking to her. And the fact that his shirt and shorts don't hide his tone muscles is also a point plus for the strength-obsessed umamusume.

"I expect a repayment for this, Gentildonna."

"How much is it?"

"How much in your account?"

"Why does it matter how much money I have in my bank account?"

"The price scales with your bank account. The more money you have, the pricier it gets."

"That sounds like you're going to swindle me."

"Yes, I am."

"..."

"..."

"...forty thousand yen."

"Then give me four thousand yen."

"Ten percent, huh? Will you really be satisfied with that amount?"

"Are you going to increase the amount in your bank account?"

"...Four hundred thousand yen."

"Hand me forty thousand yen."

"Give me your account number."

The young man casually tells Gentildonna his account number, and he quickly gets a notification that a certain amount of money has been transferred into his account. The young man opens his phone and looks at the amount that Gentildonna had transferred.

"HOLY SHIT!!!"

"You really gave him some money, huh?"

"He has fulfilled my expectation of him, and I was pleased. I simply reward him for that."

Gentildonna's motto is Strength is Righteousness. She is the one who believes that abilities triumph over everything. When she heard that a rookie trainer had been running rampant with his team of newbie trainees, it piqued her interest—especially when one of his trainees is Goldship. As much as she likes to clown on the goofball, she also recognizes that Goldship is strong. A wild kind of strength that not many trainers can tame, except for this particular man.

Self-centered, talented, hardworking, rude, unapologetic, confident, and buffed. He's perfect. I'll look forward to his further growth while I wait for my current contract to end.
