The training on the second day proceeded as usual.

With Lu Jue's guidance, Tokai Teio was noticeably more daring in her runs than yesterday, actively leading the run for quite a long stretch.

Although she hadn't yet started participating in any major prize races, the daily systematic training and her encounters with stronger opponents had already made her much stronger than when she first started.

Lu Jue had observed all of this.

As for the three main team members, Silent Suzuka, Special Week, and Seiun Sky, they seemed to have hit a bottleneck and urgently needed a high-intensity race to break through.

Therefore, Lu Jue scheduled the challenge against Symboli Rudolf for the afternoon of the second day after the training camp concluded.

Having a serious race after full adjustment would also boost their confidence for the Arima Kinen.

After this, Lu Jue would not conduct any more high-intensity training until the Arima Kinen, so although it would only be one race that afternoon, it was crucial.

"Morning training is now over. Everyone did great. Rest here and wait for the bus."

.......

The training camp felt long and drawn out, yet if you consider how quickly time passes, five days flew by in an instant.

During these five days, Lu Jue's basic training remained largely unchanged.

However, Nishizaki Ryu's side organized additional activities such as pulling specially made large tires, running on the beach, and rock climbing.

Lu Jue was quite impressed, never imagining that specialized strengthening training could be arranged in such ways.

.......

A slight unexpected incident occurred during the morning training on the sixth day.

The weather forecast was inaccurate; it clearly showed cloudy skies, but halfway through the run, the sky suddenly turned gloomy without warning.

Thunder rumbled, as if a downpour could strike at any moment.

Seeing this, Lu Jue immediately contacted the standby bus to pick up the people from the mountain, but after returning to the residence, it didn't rain until noon, and the intimidating thunder also stopped abruptly.

"You can rest tomorrow, so you guys essentially got half a day off today," Lu Jue said, showing the message Nishizaki Ryu sent him on his phone. "Trainer Nishizaki announced that afternoon training will proceed as usual."

"Darn it, it didn't even rain!" Tokai Teio gritted her teeth.

"Emperor, five carrots, you said it yourself," Special Week said triumphantly, extending her hand.

It turned out that Tokai Teio didn't dislike training; she had just lost a bet with Special Week.

Opportunities like this training camp were rare and much better than blind self-practice, so everyone involved cherished them.

Lu Jue also felt the same; whether it was Nishizaki Ryu's specialized training or Tojo Hana's targeted data analysis for the team members, he benefited greatly.

"Trainer, what are you thinking about?" The little angel Uralala appeared to Lu Jue's left.

The little devil Rice Shower appeared to Lu Jue's right.

"Nothing, it's just that this kind of weather is perfect for sleeping until you wake up naturally," Lu Jue shook his head and averted his gaze.

"Trainer, are you too tired? If you're too tired, go rest. Uralala will wake you up, okay?"

"Alright~"

Lu Jue was indeed quite tired from this training camp.

Just scouting the mountain routes here had taken him a lot of time.

After tomorrow's holiday, he would also have to remove the existing signposts and replace them with new ones for the second phase of training.

"Mm-hmm, Trainer, go to sleep now~"

Uralala watched Lu Jue's back as he returned to his room.

She just hoped the Trainer wouldn't lock his door tonight...

Since tomorrow was a rare holiday, she could stay up tonight and then sneak into Lu Jue's arms to sleep, just like last time.

"Uralala, why are you spacing out like the Trainer?" Rice Shower waved her hand in front of Uralala's eyes, bringing Uralala's thoughts back.

"Nothing, I just thought of something happy, hehe~"

"What is it? Can you share it with me?" Rice Shower asked. She instinctively felt it was related to Lu Jue but couldn't guess why.

"Sorry, Mimi, Uralala doesn't want to talk about this," Uralala didn't want to share it with anyone, not even her best friend Rice Shower.

"Okay, that's fine," Rice Shower expressed understanding, as friends didn't have to confide everything to each other.

.......

Meanwhile, Nimble Beret and Seiun Sky were also planning their actions for tonight.

"Xiao Bei, is there something happy today?" Seiun Sky asked.

"Why do you say that?"

Seiun Sky pointed to Nimble Beret's tail, exaggerating, "Your tail is wagging so much it's a blur."

"Ah? Is that so!" Nimble Beret consciously controlled her wagging ponytail.

She hadn't realized that before nightfall, her tail was even more excited than she was.

Her tail must also really enjoy the Trainer's touch.

"So what exactly are you happy about? Sharing doubles the joy."

"Nothing, actually. I wanted to ask you, why are you holding onto your bathrobe so tightly? Are you going to the hot springs at noon?"

Nimble Beret's original intention was to change the subject, but she unexpectedly hit the nail on the head.

"Well..."

Seiun Sky had actually just retrieved the bathrobe from the balcony.

Since Lu Jue liked her to wear it, she would wear it for him tonight, so she had washed it in advance.

"Hmm?" Nimble Beret frowned, her gaze scrutinizing Seiun Sky. "Speaking of which, you didn't wear a bathrobe when you bathed yesterday."

"Because I took it to be washed, and I just got it back," Seiun Sky neatly folded the bathrobe and placed it next to her pillow.

Was it a bit too bold...

Because what held the bathrobe together was just a sash around the waist; with a gentle pull, the entire robe would loosen.

And there was nothing worn underneath the bathrobe.

But she had teased Lu Jue like that before and promised to wear it for him...

Seiun Sky suddenly became conflicted.

Anticipation, yet also fear.

.......

The plans of Uralala, Seiun Sky, and Nimble Beret were unknown to anyone.

However, dramatically, the timing of their plans coincided perfectly.

It was said to be a coincidence, but it seemed to have been foreshadowed, an inevitable outcome.

And so it was for Silent Suzuka as well.

Only she was the most relaxed.

Because she didn't need to devise any plans, nor did she need to specifically choose a time. Her body simply missed Lu Jue, and she decided to go directly when she felt like it.
