"But Urara lost, McQueen."
"That's why we're holding this to cheer you up, Urara."
That lie is so atrocious that not even Urara believes you, McQueen.
Once the entire team is present in the room, the celebratory party finally begins. Balloons, party poopers, candles, etc are presents to cheer up the atmosphere that wasn't even grim in the first place.
"Losing suck, which is why we're throwing this party for you, Urara. Here!! Hachimi always cheers me up!!"
That only applies to you, Teio. Urara might be smooth-brained, but hers is not as smooth as yours.
"Yes… Urara lost…"
The pink-haired blob's ears slump down as her smile turns to a frown. She then turned to her dear trainer and looked up at him with her puppy eyes.
"You didn't fight with King, right, trainer?"
"Hmm?"
"Urara lost because Urara's fault. King is innocent. It's all Urara's fault."
"Urara…"
"Urara likes it when King and trainer get along. You both were fighting, right? Please don't fight anymore. Urara doesn't like it. Sniffle~~"
"KUH!!"
The young man was hit with a critical psychological attack by the cutest pink blob. Even his pitch-black heart was nothing compared to the sun that is Haru Urara.
"Of course. Of course, I will make up with King. Don't worry about it."
"Really?!?! YAAAY!! Thank you, Papa!!"
That seals it!! King Halo, prepare to be pregnant!!
Somewhere, a certain brown-haired first-rate umamusume feels her womb warming up, as if it were preparing to be inseminated.
"Isn't that such great news, Urara? Here! Let me feed you some cake."
"Thank you, Papa's-boss-that-always-force-papa-to-stay-in-the-same-hotel-room-as-her."
"Who taught you that?!? And I'm not trainer's boss!!"
McQueen tries to score a mama point with Urara, but is quickly shot down. The light-purple-haired umamusume knows that the young man sees Urara as his kid, so if she can become her stepmom, the gate to marriage would swing open.
"Hahaha!! You suck, McQueen. You love hachimi more, right, Urara?"
"Mmhh~!! Thank you, Mama's-boss-that-send-mama-on-oversea-trip-so-she-can-spend-more-time-with-papa."
"WHAT?!? I'm still a student, though!!"
Teio was hit with the same attack as McQueen. It seems that Urara has picked up on the young man's weird nicknaming sense. The young man's sense is more rude than Urara's, though, but she somehow hurts more.
"Urara, that's not nice, you know? You can't call people like that."
"Okay, auntie-next-door-that-always-peek-at-papa-any-chance-she-get."
"That's… Mmhh… Mean…"
The chestnut-haired umamusume deflates from Urara's nickname for her. Even in Urara's mind, she can only look at him instead of standing next to him. Is her chance of being with him really that low?
"Alright then, my turn. Here's a takoyaki, Urara."
"Thank you, Uncle Goldship."
"Why is mine normal?!?! Should I get offended?!?"
Goldship had fully prepared herself for whatever nickname Urara was going to give her, but being met with an unexpectedly normal call from her after what the others had suffered through, somehow hurt her heart more.
"And what's mine, Urara?"
"Walter White."
"Who?"
The scientist was completely flabbergasted when Urara called her by an actual person's name that she had no connection to whatsoever. If she said crazy scientist or anything like that, Tachyon would've shrugged it off, but being called an actual name confused the living shit out of her. It's as if someone called the young man Steve or something like that.
"You girls suck at this. You all would make terrible mothers. Isn't that right, cutie?"
"Ahaha~~ That tickle~~!!"
The young man hugged the petite umamusume and rubbed his cheek on hers.
"If you're such a great father, then why don't you buy her a present? Huh?"
"You're on! I'll buy everyone a gift, except for you, McQueen. You're not getting any."
"As if I want one from a pervert like you! Hmph!! I can buy one myself."
"It's going to be a dessert, isn't it?"
"It's not!! I'm not that simple!!"
"It is. Sigh… Teio, you're going to stay here to make sure that the fatty over here doesn't eat every single thing in this room. I'll buy you a hachimi."
"You can count on me, trainer!"
The young man and the rest of the group then left the room while leaving Teio and the angry McQueen behind.
"Good grief!! He is such an insufferable man sometimes."
"But we still love him, though."
"That's why we have to change him, Teio!! Your leniency will make him worse!!"
"Eeeh~~ But he's fine the way he is."
"No, he is not!! He will grope and molest you in public the way he is now, Teio!! We have to change him!!"
"Well… You got a point there, but you really think he'll listen to us?"
"Ummm… No."
"Exactly!! You can't ask him!! You have to force him, and if you want to force him, then you have to be stronger than him!! Just like Prez!!"
"We have to be assertive, huh…"
The first thing that came to McQueen's mind was Mejiro Ramonu. If anyone could fix the young man in his place, it would be that umamusume. The difference between Mejiro Ramonu and Mejiro McQueen can only be listed on a 50-page document, but if anyone were to bold the most major one, it would be the breast size. If McQueen knows her trainer, and she knows him well, then he is a pervert who could be controlled by his genitals.
Uuuuh… Not fair!! When will my growth spurt begin!?!
"Don't worry!! I'm sure we can be assertive once we start winning more races, just like Prez!!"
"Yeah… I hope so…"
"Ehehehe!! By the way, do you know what perfume trainer used? He is gone, but I can still smell his scent as if he were next to me."
"Ah…"
McQueen immediately froze. It may not be long, but surely some of Igo Heita's perfume must have etched itself onto her clothes when she sat on his lap.
"Sniff…"
It's really close… Really, really close…
"Hmm?"
When Teio closes her eyes and follows the scent, her head immediately turns toward McQueen. Her nose twitches a few more times to make sure she is smelling Igo Heita's scent, and it does.
"McQueen, did you use the same perfume as trainer?"
"Eek!! N–No!!"
"Sniff… Sniff… Not only that. There's something stronger on you."
"Wha–what do you mean??!?"
Teio grabs McQueen's shoulders and brings her face closer. To keep her secret safe, McQueen tries to pull herself away from Teio's nose. Every time Teio's nose twitches, McQueen's panic rises a level. An umamusume's nose is more developed compared to a normal human's. Teio can smell the young man's fading body odor on McQueen's uniform and his saliva on her cheek and neck.
"Teio, stop!!"
"I need to know what that strong smell is on you!"
Teio pushes and pins McQueen down on the couch. McQueen uses her hands to try to push Teio's face away, which forces the latter to pin McQueen's wrists.
"It smells so strong on your cheek… and neck…"
"Mmhh!!"
Teio invades McQueen's personal space as she pushes her face close to the spot where the young man planted his tongue. Her nose quickly homes in on the specific spot, which is weirdly colder than the rest of McQueen's cheek.
"McQueen, what is this cold spot?"
"Uuh! I–I don't know wh–what are you talking about?!"
"Lick~~!! This is the taste of a liar, McQueen!! It's salty and sweet!!"
"Don't lick me willy nilly like that!!"
"This is trainer's saliva on your cheek. How did this get on here?!"
"How do you know what his saliva tastes like?!?"
"And the smell goes down… to… WHAT IS THIS?!?!"
Teio was following the strong smell when she finally came to the hickey on McQueen's neck. Teio doesn't want to quickly deduce that her trainer was the one who made it, but who else would it be? Ikuno Dictus?
"How far…? How far did you both go?"
"N-n-n–no more!! No more than that!!"
"Open your uniform."
"Eek! I promise you!! We didn't go that far!!"
"I want to see it for myself!!"
The two tussle on the couch with one trying desperately to keep her uniform intact from the other. Sadly for McQueen, Teio is burning with jealousy. They are peas from the same pod, so why is she being left behind so far? This can't be fair, right?
The worst scenario is running through The Monarch's mind. What if it wasn't just the neck? What if Igo Heita had pushed down more and licked her collar, shoulder, or even her breasts?! If Teio does feel a bite mark on McQueen's bossosm… Only the 3 Goddesses know what she will do.
"SHOW ME!!!"
"EEK!!"
Teio finally broke through McQueen's defense and loosened the latter's uniform. Teio has loosened it enough that only McQueen's tummy is still covered in clothes, the rest is free to see.
"Se–se–see!! There's nothing!! We haven't done anything more!!"
"There's only one way to make sure… Sniff…"
Teio's face invades McQueen's personal space once again. Her nose runs wild to make sure that there's not even a single trace of Igo Heita's saliva on McQueen's body.
"Mmmhh~~ Aaah~~ Te–Teio~"
Teio starts from the hickey and moves down to the base of McQueen's neck. She tries to think like how Igo Heita would.
If I'm a massive pervert… I would immediately go for her breast.
"McQueen, I'm going to need to undo your bra."
"Teio… Do you not trust me?"
"I'm sorry, McQueen. But I need to know. I can't contain what's in my heart."
"Just… just this once, okay?"
"Yeah… Thank you…"
McQueen truly understands what her best friend is feeling, and all she can do now is let her do her thing. The wild emotions boiling in Teio's heart would not subside unless she could see the truth with her own eyes. Teio slips her hands underneath McQueen to unhook the latter's bra.

"Sigh… I've prepared myself to say, I told you so. Just do it."
"Mmh~ Excuse my intru–"
*Ssshhhkk*
"You hippos really know how to drain me… of… my… money…"
"WAIT!! TRAINER!! WE CAN EXPLAIN!!"
"YEAH!!! THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!! LET US EXPLAIN!!"
"Hold that position for a second. Suzuka, can you take Urara on a nice, long walk outside? Goldship and Tachyon, prepare the mics, cameras, and lighting. We're going to film this in four-k ultra high definition high resolution audio."
"Aye! Aye! Boss!!"
"Your wish is my command, boss."
"YOU ALL CAN GO TO HELL!!!"
