Luo Cheng was used to waking up to find someone in his room. High-affection horse girls like Cafe, Teio, Sky, and Tazuna did this frequently. However, today was different. Luo Cheng felt a maddening pressure while he struggled to move his arms.
It was as if he had lost all control over his body. He was completely immobilized. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even lift a finger.
Sleep paralysis? Is this sleep paralysis?!
He thought of the scientific explanation, though right now, a physical explanation seemed more apt. The person had her back to him, and he could only faintly see a large tail that blended into the night. Based on the color, it seemed like Manhattan Cafe, but the light was too dim for him to be certain.
But it was definitely a max-affection horse girl.
Gulp... gulp...
The pace of the sounds accelerated. Luo Cheng grit his teeth.
This girl... she's too good at this!
He wanted to move, but couldn't. He couldn't even squeeze out a single word. This feeling of forced passivity was like being tied up and having the soles of his feet relentlessly tickled; it turned his brain into a slurry. Meanwhile, the girl seemed to thoroughly enjoy the sensation of having her way with him.
The tail swayed leisurely, and the dark silhouette rose and fell rapidly. Luo Cheng thought he heard a faint, girlish giggle.
It's not Cafe! Luo Cheng was certain.
Unfortunately, his consciousness was already drifting away along with the sounds.
It had been Hayakawa Tazuna during the day, and now an unidentified horse girl at night. The interval was too short. Since his body didn't "refresh" in the real world, Luo Cheng was still carrying the exhaustion from earlier.
After a long time, Luo Cheng's body gave a final jerk. He was completely drained of strength as an intense drowsiness washed over his brain. That tail coiled around his neck, nuzzling his cheek. In the haze, Luo Cheng finally saw the black-haired girl sit up.
The dim moonlight washed over her, giving her pale skin a translucent quality. The girl tilted her head back.
Gulp... gulp...
On her pale profile, Luo Cheng thought he saw the corner of her mouth curve upward.
"Trainer, you really are interesting. Please... keep entertaining me~"
The next morning, the raucous chirping of birds outside the window grated against Luo Cheng's ears. In the game world, there were no birds, no animals—even if Luo Cheng searched the entire forest, he wouldn't find so much as an ant. Listening to the sounds of other living creatures was usually a luxury for him.
With a yawn, Luo Cheng slowly sat up. Recalling the events of the previous night, he hurriedly checked his body. He was wearing his pajamas, the drawstring was tied, and everything looked normal. There were no strange stains on the sheets.
What was that last night? Why couldn't I move? Was it really sleep paralysis, or was I drugged? if it was the latter, why isn't there a single trace left?
Could I have been dreaming...?
Luo Cheng's head was full of question marks. A ghostly, ethereal horse girl... suddenly, he remembered something. In Cafe's character setting, there was supposedly a—
Knock, knock, knock! The sound at the door interrupted his train of thought. Tokai Teio's voice drifted in.
"Trainer, wake up! If you don't get up, the Great Teio-sama is going to punish you!" The doorknob turned, and with a click, the door swung open.
Luo Cheng didn't have the habit of locking his door. He basically slept wherever he wanted; it was a habit he'd picked up in the game world.
Tokai Teio skipped into the room. She wasn't in her school uniform; instead, she had changed into a yellow off-the-shoulder short-sleeved top paired with blue hot pants. Her pale, tender legs were on full display, making her look both adorable and vibrant—and quite "delicious."

A line of text flashed before Luo Cheng's eyes. Seeing Luo Cheng on the bed, Teio's eyes lit up, and she lunged at him with youthful energy.
"Trainer! You're actually sleeping in!" She rolled Luo Cheng's duvet up, tumbling to the side. "The Great Teio-sama actually came to find you, yet you don't look excited at all? How can you sleep!"
As she spoke, Teio burrowed into the duvet like a spring roll. Her ears poked out, twitching as she let out the sound of a deep inhale.
"Trainer's scent... it's so rich... so thick..."
"Thick what? I'm awake now." Luo Cheng rolled off the bed. In his weakened state, the world looked much purer to him, as if all his worldly desires had been vacuumed out by that black silhouette the night before.
"Had breakfast?" Luo Cheng asked.
"No."
"I'll make you something."
"I'm already full."
"Huh?"
A flushed Teio poked her head out of the covers. She wiggled her bare white feet and giggled, "I'm already full just from smelling the Trainer."
Pulling that move, are we? Unfortunately for her, it was ineffective. In "Sage Mode," I am invincible.
"I'll make those honey pancakes you like. Might as well grind some of that affection that's already through the roof."
"Since the Trainer wants to serve me so badly, the Great Teio-sama won't be polite." She crawled out of the duvet, hooked her slippers with her toes, and walked beside Luo Cheng as if she owned the place.
Watching his practiced movements in the kitchen, Teio stroked her chin. "Not bad, Trainer. Working hard to satisfy the Great Teio-sama's taste buds."
"You're making me sound like a housewife..."
"In the world of Uma Musume, strength is everything! In my eyes, Trainer is the 'mare' and I'm the 'stallion'! What's wrong with you being the housewife?"
"Wait, what? Is that how it works?" This was news to Luo Cheng. So for horse girls, it's always 'girl on top, guy on bottom'?!
"Once I become an undefeated Triple Crown winner, I'll work hard outside, and Trainer can stay home and make delicious food for me. Hmph~" Teio let out a satisfied hum, lost in her wonderful fantasy.
"No way. I can't do that. As a man, I have to maintain the initiative even against a horse girl. I'm the one who does the 'Horse Jumping'."
"Trainer is welcome to try. Let's see who pins who."
"Underestimating me will cost you, Teio. With your small frame, I could pick you up easily."
"Hehe~ It's not certain who's picking up who! But if I carry the Trainer, the pose might be a bit uncomfortable. I think it feels better when the Trainer carries me."
Whether carried forward or backward, it was comfortable. She could even roll her eyes back and make a "V" sign with her hands—wasn't that exactly what the Trainer liked to see? Teio knew him all too well. She wagged her tail.
Luo Cheng set the honey pancakes on the table. "We're going to the arcade later."
"Coming!" Teio picked up her chopsticks and began her breakfast. "Delicious!"
One day, she was going to marry the Trainer and make him stay home to produce foals with her every single day!
