"Eh——!!!=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(●⁰ꈊ⁰● |||)"
Meisho Doto listened to everyone talking one after another, her head a bit dazed, "No, no, minna.... Trainer isn't going to wear women's clothing!"
The gazes of all the horse girls returned to Meisho Doto.
Regardless of whether he would wear it or not, anyway they had already finished all their yy.
"Trainer's uniform is this set desu." Meisho Doto flipped through her phone and brought up two sets of clothing prepared for Lucian.
One was a fitted vest, the other was casual denim overalls. The common point was that both were equipped with cat-ear headpieces.
"Kawaii ne~" Haru Urara's brows and eyes slowly relaxed, "I feel that no matter which set Trainer wears, it's very suitable! Whether handsome or cute, both are super—— suitable!"
Her prepared clothing being recognized, Meisho Doto was very happy, "At that time I'll also put a bit of makeup on Trainer, and some small decorations."
For example, cat nose, cat tail, cat whisker props and such props... Wholeheartedly creating the cat-cat sama in her heart.
"If it's these two sets..." Tokai Teio fell into imagination again.
The former, that finely tailored black fitted vest, would definitely perfectly outline Trainer's broad shoulders and lean waistline.
Paired with that pair of black cat ears, it would be a kind of elegant yet with a hint of mischievous allure.
For Tokai Teio, she preferred the former more, because Lucian's height and shoulder width would make this clothing no longer monotonous and ordinary, but instead full of restrained tension.
If only Trainer could wear it when alone with her... In that case, even if she couldn't get down from the wall for a whole night, she'd be very happy.
Tokai Teio who had been holding it in for two months had already immersed herself in her own fantasies, not knowing what shyness was.
Silence Suzuka and the others found it a bit hard to choose, because both sets poked right at their hearts.
...
Just as everyone was sinking deeper and deeper into their own fantasy worlds, a voice broke this silence.
"I.... I have an idea." Mejiro McQueen raised her volume a few notches, interrupting the endless discussion, "Isn't the school festival three days? Why not have Trainer change into a different uniform each day."
This one sentence awakened the horse girls in their dreams.
Mejiro McQueen's proposal received widespread agreement from everyone.
She cleared her throat and also revealed her private idea, "Since it was proposed by me, then this last style will be by me..."
"My queen, what kind of talk is that? I just won a race, so it should be me who designs it!" Tokai Teio interrupted Mejiro McQueen. Other things could be discussed, but this could not.
Same as last time, that feeling of the dessert on the plate being snatched away surged into Mejiro McQueen's heart, igniting the flame of her persistence.
But this time it wasn't just the struggle between Mejiro McQueen and Tokai Teio, because the other horse girls also joined in the competition.
Meisho Doto looked at the increasingly out-of-control scene before her, opened her mouth, but found she completely couldn't interject, and didn't know what to say.
"No matter who ends up providing the style..... as long as they remember to add those appearance props I prepared, it's fine." She thought to herself.
Those cat ears, cat nose, cat tail and cat whiskers were the soul of the "cat-cat sama" in her heart!
While everyone was discussing intensely, Meisho Doto silently returned to the side of little Dango's little nest and rubbed little Dango's head.
Hehe... cat-cat sama~
...
After more than two hours passed, Lucian walked out from the kitchen and found the living room unusually quiet.
The horse girls' faces seemed to have a light layer of frost on them, as if they had just experienced a war without gunpowder smoke.
"Have you finished discussing?"
"Trainer, our plan is almost designed~" Matikane Tannhauser held up the draft paper in front of Lucian, "Take a look."
Lucian briefly read through it and nodded.
He didn't have much doubt about the item written "Change employee uniforms," after all he was originally working as a chef.
"Pretty good." Lucian returned the draft paper to Matikane Tannhauser, then slightly tilted his head down and asked quietly: "Why are they so quiet? What just happened?"
"Nothing, nothing..." Matikane Tannhauser waved her hand, "Maybe everyone discussed too intensely and got a bit tired, or maybe they're starving?"
Regarding the clothing matter, they had already decided to keep it secret. Because they were afraid Lucian would refuse after knowing, or make unnecessary modifications.
"Trainer~" Haru Urara bounced over, "Is dinner ready? Just now Twin Turbo and Rice Shower's stomachs were already 'gugu'ing."
"Is that so." Lucian's gaze fell on Rice Shower and Twin Turbo.
Rice Shower didn't refute, and nodded almost imperceptibly.
Twin Turbo arrogantly crossed her arms, "Trainer, is it time to eat yet, my stomach is already starving terribly."
"Right away right away, Ines, come help me carry some."
"Okay."
...
At the dining table.
Lucian picked up a piece of pork cutlet fried golden and crispy, dipped it in the special sauce, took a satisfied bite, then slowly raised his head and asked about some details of the meeting just now, "By the way, have any of you been invited to participate in performances this year?"
Performances need rehearsals, the organizers need to confirm the list, so they would definitely receive invitations in advance.
Seeing everyone's sudden realization, Lucian then knew that they hadn't talked about this matter just now.
He helplessly rubbed his forehead, "I really don't know what you were discussing just now... Don't wait until everything is confirmed before coming to tell me you have no time."
"Torena-san, I received an invitation." Mejiro McQueen also just remembered this matter and spoke up first.
"I also received an invitation." Tokai Teio just finished speaking, her gaze met Mejiro McQueen's in mid-air, rubbing out invisible sparks.
"And me." Matikane Tannhauser also raised her small hand. She had long been a regular guest of the school festival.
Besides these few, Nice Nature, Haru Urara, and Special Week also chimed in one after another.
Special Week mainly still because of last year's Japan Cup victory, the heat of "Japan's Generalissimo" hadn't passed yet. Thinking about it, this time she might also be the C position on the stage.
Lucian nodded, then asked: "Then is there anyone who wants to participate in other activities?"
Like last time Dextrous Bailey set up her own stall, Rice Shower and Meisho Doto signed up as staff for the test of courage assembly. But the three this time chose to stay and help Lucian.
"Trainer, I just happen to know frying, and last year's sales were pretty good, so this year I can stay and be with you." Dextrous Bailey said.
"That's great." Lucian's eyes lit up, this way the kitchen work would undoubtedly be much easier.
So that is to say, the remaining staff including Lucian totaled eight people: Lucian, Ines Fujin, Silence Suzuka, Seiun Sky, Dextrous Bailey, Twin Turbo, Rice Shower, Meisho Doto.
Manpower was completely sufficient, no need to hire extra temporary workers.
"Trainer, Urara kind of wants to stay and open the shop with everyone." Haru Urara said a bit conflicted, of course she also felt a bit reluctant about the stage.
"It's okay, Urara can come as a customer to visit the shop at that time."
"Oh right, it can be like that too!" Haru Urara's eyes lit up, the previous conflict was swept away, replaced by full expectation.
Similar words also rang in the hearts of Mejiro McQueen and Tokai Teio.
If as customers... wouldn't they be able to request Trainer to serve them themselves!?
