♪♪♪~ Yo, everyone, it's Mr. CB! I finally—finally—got scouted by Hachiman! I'm not officially his trainee yet, but I'm joining his team♪ Yesterday was unreal, I'm still buzzing~ I wish Rudolf could've seen the moment I got scouted♪ Oh, wait, it's still a secret, so I gotta keep my mouth shut.
Right now, I'm outside the first-year high school classroom. Like I told Hachiman yesterday, I'm here to introduce him to a friend. I'm pretty sure she'd jump at his offer, and I think they'd click too.
CB: "Pardon the intrusion, folks."
"Eek, CB-senpai!? Why're you here!?"
CB: "Just a quick thing… Oh, there you are! Hey, Arrow, got a sec?"
Arrow: "Senpai… What's up? You calling me out is rare…"
CB: "Got something to talk about. You free now?"
Arrow: "…Sure, I guess. Won't take too long, right?"
CB: "Who knows? I'm not the one talking to you."
Arrow: "Huh? What's that mean?"
Yeah, she's totally on guard.
CB: "Relax, Arrow. A trainer wants to talk to you. You don't know him, so I'm playing middleman."
Arrow: "…Why's senpai vouching for me to a trainer? What's the deal?"
CB: "He's looking for a strong dirt runner, and I thought you'd be perfect. So, I'm here to invite you. You in?"
Arrow: "…Alright. It's your request, senpai, so I'll hear him out. But is this trainer trustworthy?"
CB: "Totally♪ He's the only trainer I vouch for."
Hachiman: "You're Wing Arrow, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Trainer Hikigaya."
Arrow: "…! I-I'm Wing Arrow!"
Hachiman: "CB probably told you, but I'm looking for a strong dirt Uma Musume. She recommended you, and I'm interested. How about it? Can I see you run? When're you free?"
…She's frozen. What's up?
CB: "Hey, Arrow, you okay?"
Arrow: "Ah!? S-Sorry! I didn't expect Trainer Hikigaya to be the one senpai meant… I was just shocked."
Hachiman: "My bad. Can't let this get out yet, so I'm keeping it hush-hush. So, when can you make time?"
Arrow: "Oh, today works. I don't have anything urgent." Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
Hachiman: "Cool. Wanna train with my girls this afternoon? It'll help me get a read on you."
Arrow: "R-Really? Is that okay?"
Hachiman: "I'm saying it's fine, so it's fine. Come back here after school."
Arrow: "Yes, understood."
Hachiman: "Good, looking forward to it. Sorry for dragging you out. You can head back to class now. You too, CB."
Nice, feels promising! Didn't expect Arrow to freeze up like that, though~
Arrow: "Senpai, you didn't mention him because it's tied to the trainer, right?"
CB: "Kinda. Can't spill the details, but Hachiman's got a lot on his plate. I figured I could help out a bit. Oh, and I recommended you 'cause I know you're legit—the strongest dirt Uma Musume I know."
CB: "See ya after school then. I'm heading to the trainer's room too, so we'll meet up~."
Arrow: "Right, see you then."
Hehe~ Can't wait for this afternoon♪
Rudolf: "You're in high spirits, CB."
CB: "Oh, Rudolf! Yeah, kinda~♪"
Rudolf: "That joy… It's Hachiman-related, isn't it?"
Rudolf: "I'll take that as a yes. What happened? I'd love to hear."
CB: "Can't just spill it~ And I didn't say anything about Hachiman, y'know?"
Rudolf: "The only one who gets you this happy is Hachiman. My guess? You love your freedom, but you'd let Hachiman rein you in a bit, wouldn't you?"
CB: "Aren't you the same with him?"
Rudolf: "Haha, got me there… You're right. Those of us who've trained under him know we can trust him completely."
CB: "That's some serious devotion. Thanks for the feast."
Rudolf: "Not as much as yours."
CB's joy explodes as she introduces Wing Arrow, her dirt-running friend, to Hachiman in this Yahari x Uma Musume chapter! Arrow's shock and Rudolf's teasing add spice, while Hachiman's team grows. Who's next? Fuji's arc races toward the Satsuki Sho!
