A cute girl’s heart is capable of anything

"...It turned out to be you, I was shocked."

The moment Qingzhu's elegant palm fell on his shoulder, the man who was still struggling with sleepiness immediately felt that his brain had become much clearer.

Under Qingzhu Fengya's doubtful gaze, he stood up and stretched contentedly before answering the black-haired horse girl's question.

"I just want to come and see your morning practice. What's the matter? Aren't you welcome?"

"Oh, it turns out Mr. Trainer is worried about me being lazy?"

Qingzhu Fengya covered her mouth with one hand and replied with a smile: "But you got up so early...did you stay up late to process documents again last night?"

"Hey, hey, I spent the entire afternoon yesterday processing all those documents!"

You can tell from his tone that the man is very proud of this: "I went to bed at about ten o'clock last night!"

Humph...it's just a pile of documents, nothing to fear in front of him who is getting more and more comfortable with the chairman's job!

"It's past ten o'clock... It's indeed a very early break time for the trainer who always stays up late."

"Hmph... Of course, I am invincible if I don't distract myself and focus on one thing!"

"Hmm, I can see that Mr. Trainer is working very hard~?"

Qingzhu Fengya looked at him: "But...it turns out that the trainer also knows how to fish when processing documents?"

"Fishing? Ah, occasionally."

The man answered casually: "But most of the time it's because I just took over this academy not long ago and I'm not very skilled at work yet."

"Sometimes when I feel too tired and my eyes are sore, I will stop and take a rest."

When he said this, the man paused, glanced at the black-haired horse girl standing in front of him, and then showed a resentful expression: "...and you have been telling me about this in recent times. Things, I almost feel like my ears are getting calluses from hearing them.”

"But Miss Hui and I are sincerely doing our best for you, trainer, right?"

Qingzhu Fengya stretched out a finger and waved it left and right in front of Saito Asuka: "After all... Trainer, you don't want to see this academy collapse, right?"

"You are now the chairman of this college. If you die suddenly because of staying up late, then all our efforts will be in vain~?"

"...Although I know you hope that I won't stay up late anymore, can you be more serious when you say this?"

"Eh~? But I always talk like this?"

The black-haired horse girl replied with a smile.

"...Okay, that's it for today's training."

After Aotake Fuga crossed the line, Asuka Saito pressed the timer and then shouted to the black-haired horse girl on the training ground.

"Huh? Is it over so early?"

Qingzhu Fengya, who was about to run another lap, was stunned for a moment, then looked at the mobile phone in the man's hand.

Seven fifty-five.

"Oops? It's already so late?"

Looking at the time displayed on her phone, Qingzhu Fengya realized that it was getting late with a regretful expression on her face: "...I originally wanted to run a few more laps."

"Isn't there still training in the afternoon?"

Saito Asuka put away his phone: "If you still want to run away, let's continue in the afternoon."

"Afternoon..."

Qingzhu Fengya repeated the trainer's words, and then looked at Saito Asuka.

"Trainer, will you let me run one more lap~?"

Qingzhu Fengya said with a smile: "Look, I still have physical strength now, and it won't take long to run another lap at my speed, so..."

"So you want to do another lap?"

Saito Asuka looked at the black-haired horse girl in front of him with her hands clasped together and looking at him expectantly.

"Yeah, I want to keep running."

Qingzhu Fengya nodded: "So, is it okay?"

"Of course not."

Saito Asuka shook his head without hesitation: "Morning practice time is over, now it's class time."

"……class time?"

After hearing what the man said, Qingzhu Fuga blinked: "But... isn't there no teacher at Himeji Teresin Academy anymore?"

"what……"

After being reminded by Qingzhu Fengya, Saito Asuka was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his face.

...How could he forget this?

"So since I don't have to go to class, can I...?"

The black-haired horse girl looked at him expectantly: "I can't go to class anyway, so just let me run around again."

"Is it okay? Is it okay? Okay~ Please~?"

"Cough cough..."

Saito Asuka, who was being stared at expectantly by Aotake Fuga, coughed dryly and looked away.

Hiss...he really can't stand this child's coquettish behavior.

Even Hui has never acted like a baby in front of him!

"...Although you are right, I like to say no to those who are self-righteous!"

Saito Asuka, who immediately calmed down, said expressionlessly: "It's time for breakfast now. Let's go to the cafeteria quickly."

"Ah... well."

Qingzhu Fengya, who failed to do so, drooped her ears and looked very frustrated that her proposal was rejected.

"Since you won't let me run, trainer, I will follow your instructions and wait until the training starts in the afternoon before continuing."

After saying this, Qingzhu Fengya paused, and then added another sentence: "...But in the afternoon, you must let me run to the fullest."

"..."

Saito Asuka looked silently at the black-haired horse girl in front of him who had been folded into airplane ears.

Strange, I didn’t do anything wrong?

Why do I feel sorry for her?

"...Okay, stop looking at me like that."

Saito Asuka, who was stared at by the pitiful Qingzhu Fengya, looked away and compromised: "As you said, we can only run one more lap. After that, we will go to eat."

"Huh? But trainer, didn't you say you would run during training in the afternoon?"

"... Just tell me whether you want to run or not!"

Seeing the black-haired horse girl in front of her who was taking advantage of her and being so obedient, Saito Asuka's expression became more and more helpless.

"Since you agree, trainer... then please wait here~?"

After hearing Saito Asuka's words, Qingzhu Fuga walked briskly to the starting line: "Then... I'll leave it to you to set the time this time~?"

"Yes, yes...there's really nothing I can do about you."

The man once again took out the timer from his trouser pocket.

"One thousand two hundred meters, turn left, are you ready?"

"It's already ready~!"

The black-haired horse girl replied with a chuckle, and then took off the moment Asuka Saito pressed the timer, rushing out like a black lightning.

……

"Oh... running after waking up in the morning can really make your body feel better!"

Aotake Fuga, who walked out of the training ground with Saito Asuka, raised his hands above his head and stretched with a satisfied expression on his face.

"I said...is your physical strength really okay?"

Seeing the black-haired horse girl who was still energetic after her morning exercise, Saito Asuka couldn't hold back.

...When he was a child, he had heard more than once the "oyster" sound from the horse girls in this academy due to lack of physical strength during training, and more than once saw the horse girls playing the game of "stack high."

While he was watching Qingzhu Fengya's training, not only did the black-haired Ma Niang not show any signs of exhaustion, but she always looked well-fed after each training session.

...Isn't this child holding on by force?

Looking at the black-haired horse girl next to him, Saito Asuka couldn't help but think of words that worried him.

Out of this mentality, Saito Asuka couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? No, I'm forcing myself."

Qingzhu Fengya, who was about to pull out the clothes that clung to her body, replied: "I usually eat so much, so it is normal for my physical strength to be a little better than other horse girls, right?"

"So trainer, don't think that I am trying to support myself. I really have no problem! I will tell you, trainer, when my physical strength really cannot keep up, so just come to training and so on!"

Qingzhu Fengya patted the two mountains in front of her chest and replied confidently: "...No matter what kind of training it is, I can persevere!"

"Really……"

The doubtful Saito Asuka stared at Qingzhu Fengya for a few seconds, and then continued: "If you can't persist during training, you must tell me and don't force yourself."

"Not only the trainer, but also Miss Hui has told me about this several times, right?"

Qingzhu Fengya looked him up and down, then closed her eyes and said with a smile: "...Trainer, you and Miss Hui really have a tacit understanding."

"Nah... long-winded!"

Hearing the implication of Qingzhu Fengya's words, Saito Asuka blushed, and then quickened his pace while the black-haired horse girl looked at him with a smile.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly go to the cafeteria to eat?"

After taking a few steps forward, Saito Asuka said: "There are still some documents waiting for me to process!"

"Yeah...that's right~"

Looking at Saito Asuka's embarrassed back as if he was running away, Qingzhu Fengya then lowered his head and glanced at the training clothes that clung to his body.

"You're sticky... finish your breakfast quickly, and then go back to the dormitory and take a shower!"

The somewhat frustrated black-haired horse girl said in trouble.

"It's almost the weekend."

At noon, Saito Asuka and Nakayama Megumi sat opposite Qingzhu Fengya and had lunch.

Midway, Asuka Saito took out his phone and checked the time, and then after a brief thought, he said to Megumi Nakayama who was sitting next to him: "...Shall I go out with you this weekend?"

"Go out and play with me?"

Zhongshan Hui frowned, with a reluctant expression on his face.

"Going out on such a hot day? Wouldn't it be better to turn on the air conditioner at home?"

After saying this, she moved to the right, and then glanced at Saito Asuka who was pulled away: "...I think you should go out alone."

"Then let me play games with you?"
