"Trainer Luo Cheng, is there a problem with the test?"
Looking at the vivid, lifelike Hayakawa Tazuna before him, Luo Cheng realized he had triggered another event. Even inside VR, the system's prompts appeared in his mind. The authority of this system was absurdly high—it could manifest directly within his consciousness!
"Trainer Luo Cheng?" Tazuna tilted her head, watching him as he sat there lost in thought.
Luo Cheng needed to head over to Agnes Tachyon's lab to confirm a few things later. Before that, he had to take advantage of this return to reality to secure administrative rights for the VR equipment.
"Tazuna."
"Yes?"
"Will you become my horse girl?"
Tazuna blinked her beautiful emerald eyes, letting out a rare sound of confusion. "Eh?"
"Sign a contract with me. Be my trainee."
Once she understood his meaning, Tazuna's heart gave a violent throb. She glanced nervously to the left and right, then stood on her tiptoes to whisper into Luo Cheng's ear, "Trainer, my status as a horse girl needs to remain a secret. Even though I've let you see it, you absolutely cannot tell anyone else."
Let me see it? Didn't I undress you myself?
Well, whether he had undressed her or she had done it herself wasn't the point. The point was Tazuna!
"I'm already retired. I don't compete anymore. Even if Trainer Luo Cheng trains me, you won't gain anything. In fact, it would only be a waste of your time. I think your energy would be better spent on other horse girls."
The goal of signing her wasn't for training! He wanted command authority over her so he could enter the VR whenever he pleased. He couldn't see the computer screen himself, so he had to wait for Tazuna's invitation. Ordering the "Game Teio" and the others was useless; they didn't know how to operate the machinery.
"It's fine. I want you."
Tazuna looked troubled. "Even if you sign me, I can't actually go out onto the track. You should know that. If you still want to sign me, do you have... other ideas? Could it be you just want the 'Trainer and Trainee' label for us?"
Tazuna hit the nail on the head. But she also missed it slightly.
"I suppose this is just a man's possessiveness. You want a special relationship with me so you can feel unique. How cute..."
Cute? I'm a grown man, what's cute about me? That wasn't what Luo Cheng was thinking at all.
But Tazuna was already convinced. A seductive smile played on her lips, her eyes shimmering with emotion.
"While I can't officially be your trainee on the track, I can enter into a different kind of relationship with you. A relationship that no one else can compare to."
Tazuna licked her lips and placed her hands on Luo Cheng's chest. "I'm sure you'll like it, Trainer Luo Cheng."
She blew a warm breath into his ear.
"I think there's a misunderstanding. The relationship I want isn't exactly like—"
"Does Trainer not like it?"
"I mean, I like it, but—"
"Then there's no problem."
Before he could finish, Luo Cheng was pushed back onto the bed used for monitoring the VR pods.
"Tazuna, that's not what I mea—"
"Trainer," Tazuna whispered, her voice tickling his ear. "I'm wearing the 'string-style' set today."
"..."
"You can do whatever you like."
"Ahem... Teio is still in the VR."
"It's fine. That child is having the time of her life. She won't know what her Trainer is up to. By the time she comes out, I'll have already 'eaten' you up."
Under Luo Cheng's gaze, the green figure gradually leaned down and submerged him...
...
"Eek! It came out! It's all leaking out!"
Bright sunlight filled the room. From outside the window, the conversation of two horse girls drifted in. "Honestly, stop touching me! You made my ice cream melt!"
"What does it matter? If it's melted, just drink it."
"Glug... mmm... there's so much..."
"Haha! Look at your face, it's everywhere!"
"It's your fault for poking me!"
"I can't help it. Your head is so soft. See? You look like you're enjoying it, too."
"I am not! I hate this... look, it's leaking again."
"Drink it up. Don't let it go to waste."
"I know! And stop touching me, I can't take it anymore!"
"You say that, but you look so happy. You're so dishonest."
"Mgh..."
"How cute."
"Am not!"
The girl, her face flushed red, continued eating her ice cream.
"Slurp, slurp... mm, it's getting all over the place. But it really is delicious. How can it be this cute..."
...Trainer.
A long time after the voices faded, Tokai Teio leaped out of her VR pod. She shouted indignantly, "Dammit! Those AI horse girls actually mocked my dancing! What a joke! My 'Teio Step' is ten thousand times better than theirs!"
While testing the stage environment inside, Teio had performed a magnificent dance, only to be challenged by several competitive AIs. They'd had an all-out dance battle.
"Pah! Just AIs! Watch me take you all down! Trainer, where did you go, Trainer?"
Drenched in sweat, Teio called out. She spotted Luo Cheng lying on the monitoring bed.
"Trainer!" Teio leaped up and plopped her bottom right onto the man's stomach, giving him a sharp jolt.
Luo Cheng opened his eyes. "Teio... are you in my room again?"
"Your room? This is the testing lab!" Teio's temper flared instantly. She had been dancing her heart out in there, and not only did her Trainer not watch, he was out here sleeping! "You wasted a perfectly good chance to admire my dancing!"
I'm gonna step on you! I'm stepping on you!
Teio began kneading him with her sweat-soaked feet. The pungent aroma made Luo Cheng's head spin. Even though she had been in the VR pod, the virtual world's conditions were reflected physically. Training inside meant growth for her body outside. It was a form of "Image Training," stimulating the brain to trigger physical adaptation. It was slightly less efficient than real-world training, but its benefit was the total absence of injury risk—an incredibly safe method.
Fresh from her dance battle, Teio was covered in perspiration. Her white over-the-knee socks were soaked through, revealing the rosy hue of her soles beneath the fabric.
"Mgh... mgh! Tei... Teio... mgh..."
Muffled sounds came from beneath her feet. Luo Cheng flailed his arms.
"How's that, Trainer? Feeling my power now?!"
Teio laughed loudly, her frustration from the VR world vanishing. She savored the sight of her Trainer struggling beneath her.
Wait... is there a strange smell in the room?
Teio had been too agitated by the AIs to notice earlier, but now that her mood had improved, she noticed a scent on the bed... like photinia flowers?
Before she could think further, the sensation of his breathing against her arches recaptured her attention. After thoroughly "tormenting" her Trainer, Teio sat on him, looking satisfied.
"Trainer, I want you to help me defeat those wretched AIs!"
