The final weekend before the debut race, Luo Cheng went out with Tokai Teio as promised.
In the game world, he couldn't go outside. He couldn't see anyone else either. The entire Tracen Academy was like an isolated island sealed by invisible walls. He had tried to find flaws in the system by observing the food in the cafeteria, looking for delivery trucks, only to find that the ingredients suddenly appeared at midnight every night. Like items in a game, they spawned out of thin air in the warehouse.
Since items could spawn, there was no reason people couldn't too. For instance, the crowd before him—perhaps they were just "spawns" of the world.
"Trainer, what are you looking at!" Teio tugged at his hand. "Today you're out with the Great Teio-sama! Your eyes have to be on me at all times!"
Back in the game, Luo Cheng knew Teio was a willful little filly. In reality, she was even more so. Occasionally, Luo Cheng would imagine Teio as a "Mesugaki" (bratty girl). That cute little face was just too perfect for saying "Zako, zako" (Loser, loser). He'd even commanded her to say "Zako" once, but she couldn't process the instruction. Luo Cheng didn't understand—why could he command her to lick things but not to say certain things? Was it a world mechanic, or something else?
"As punishment for your distraction, squat down."
Strictly speaking, Teio wasn't a "Mesugaki," but Luo Cheng still wanted to see her "Defeat CG." The three great joys of life: eating, sleeping, and playing with Teio. Let's see what you're up to.
Luo Cheng squatted down. Teio let out a "hehe" and swung her leg over his shoulder, riding him like a horse.
"From now on, you are the Great Teio-sama's mount! Move out, Trainer!"
I thought you were planning something serious, and it's just this? Luo Cheng had been a little hopeful. Oh well. In the game world, humans ride horses. In the Uma Musume world, horses ride humans.
Being ridden wasn't bad. The place where Teio's legs clamped around him was exactly where her over-the-knee socks met her bare thighs. He could smell her citrusy skin, and her supple thighs were pressed against his cheeks. It was like carrying a giant body pillow. Furthermore, he could feel a shocking softness against the back of his neck.
Teio was wonderful; Luo Cheng was being purely objective.
"Thought of where to go?" Luo Cheng asked with a casual air.
"That's for you to decide..." Her voice sounded strangely shaky, and her grip on his shoulders tightened.
"Teio, don't wiggle. I'm starting to get distracted."
"Trainer... don't talk. Your breath... it's all hitting my legs..." Teio covered her mouth.
Every time Luo Cheng spoke, he turned his head slightly. His warm breath hit the inner part of Teio's thighs, the heat stimulating her sensitive skin and making her restless.
"I keep thinking your legs smell like cream. Hey, why don't we go to a restaurant?"
"...Okay, okay. Let's go."
"By the way, Teio, your legs are so white. They're quite the view from down here."
"What? Does Trainer... like white legs?"
"I do. They look like dessert. They feel pretty smooth too. Did you shower before coming out?"
"I showered last night."
"No wonder. You smell great."
"Ah! Tra-Trainer!"
Suddenly, Luo Cheng felt a choking sensation around his neck. Those supple thighs had turned into a massive vise, tightening around his throat.
"Gkh... die... I'm gonna die..."
"Trainer, it tickles! Stop breathing on me!"
"Teio... I can't breathe... I can't... brea..."
Luo Cheng stumbled into a restaurant and collapsed onto a table. Teio muttered "I'm going to the restroom" and hopped off him, scurrying away.
"May I help you, sir?" a waitress asked.
Luo Cheng rubbed his neck. He'd just come back from the brink of death; that was a bit too close. After catching his breath, he sat at the table. "Um, a bottle of Honey Specialty Drink, a parfait, and two burgers..." After ordering, he asked, "By the way, do you have a flyer? One with writing on it would be best."
"A flyer with writing? Certainly, please wait a moment."
Half an hour later, Teio emerged from the restroom. The flush on her face had faded, and her breathing was steady. It seemed all her "stress" had been released in the restroom.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Trainer!" she said, wiping her hands on a towel and excitedly sitting opposite him.
"Here is your Honey Specialty Drink, the parfait... and here is a flyer signed by our manager. The manager also included a 'Couple's Milk Tea' on the house. He said it's the first time anyone has asked for a signed flyer, and he was honored."
Luo Cheng thanked her and tucked the flyer into his pocket.
"Couple's Milk Tea..." Teio's eyes sparkled. "Trainer actually ordered that!"
"The manager gave it to us."
"Trainer, we're a couple now! You really know your stuff. Here, I'm making a heart for you." Teio swung her legs and made a heart with her hands.
"It's spelled 'couple' but read as 'Trainer and trainee.' Let's eat. It's a rare chance to be outside." Luo Cheng took a bite of his burger. It was completely different from the cafeteria; the school food focused on nutrition, while this was all about flavor. Luo Cheng didn't like "healthy." Only junk food made him happy. I wish they'd bring this stuff over there. I want some 'Gamer Fuel'.
"Trainer." Teio opened her mouth. "Ah~"
It had begun. Teio's willfulness. This was a clear demand to be fed. Unfortunately, Luo Cheng spent most of his time stealing their food. A man has to eat; only by feeding himself can he have the energy to feed others. Beautiful girls aren't food. They are... beverages.
Luo Cheng handed her the burger.
"Mmm, tasty." Teio took a bite, her mouth full. While Luo Cheng was admiring her hamster-like eating, he felt a soft sensation under the table. Without him noticing, Teio had kicked off her shoes and was rubbing her delicate, silky legs against his.
"Teio."
"Yes, Trainer?" Teio opened her mouth again, demanding more food.
Since this was a "compensation" date, she had to get her compensation. Her hands and mouth were busy, but her feet were free. Since the Trainer liked squeezing her feet so much, she'd let her feet "squeeze" him back. Seeing that Luo Cheng wasn't resisting, Teio's feet grew bolder, climbing higher up his leg. In such a hidden spot, no one would notice even if she "grasped" something.
It was quite a thrill. Teio wanted to push it further—maybe call the waitress over to order more, and then use the opportunity to make the Trainer cry out. She hoped the Trainer wasn't a "Zako" who couldn't handle a little playing around.
Teio's mischievous side was coming out. Just as she was about to "succeed," a plate was set down beside them. Seiun Sky waved at them with a bright smile. "Yah~ what a coincidence! To run into you two here. Trainer, and Teio."
Then, Teio's foot was kicked aside by Seiun Sky.
