I've written about yandere characters before, so I won't go in that direction. At most, it will be a dark transformation. For now, the main Uma Musume to show a dark transformation will be Rice Shower.

......

After about an hour's drive, the bus finally arrived at its destination.

As soon as they got off the bus, everyone saw a luxurious apartment building in the center, which seemed a bit out of place amidst the surrounding mountains.

"'Rigil' team members and I will go this way." Tojo Hana led the team, guiding them into the apartment building.

"The living conditions here look really good!" Daiwa Scarlet said to Vodka next to her.

"Yeah, I want to pick a room first!"

"No, I'll pick first!"

Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka, these two rivals, could always find something to argue about.

However, at this moment, an old, dilapidated-looking inn on the left side of the apartment building was slowly revealed as the bus drove away.

With Nishizaki Ryu's words, their excited moods instantly plummeted, "This is 'Rigil's' residence. Ours is over there."

Nishizaki Ryu pointed at the dilapidated inn, "Alright, hurry up and follow me to drop off your luggage."

After the 'Spica' team also left, only Lu Jue's 'Dream' team remained.

"What about us?" Tokai Teio looked around the empty space; there were no other buildings.

"Trainer, we won't have nowhere to stay, will we? Uralala didn't bring a tent this time." Uralala tugged at Lu Jue's sleeve, worried.

"Nowhere to stay, and you'd still be willing to stay in a tent with me?"

"As long as Trainer is here, anywhere we stay is home."

"Alright, alright~" Lu Jue couldn't help but pat the little angel's head, then looked at everyone, "How could I possibly let my team members sleep rough? Everyone, get your luggage. Since our residence is newly built, we have to walk a little further."

......

Everyone followed Lu Jue, walking a short mountain path, and soon saw a cluster of connected houses.

The building materials were not steel and concrete, but the same wood as the inn, but the exterior was clean and tidy, and two rows of artificially cultivated crisp bamboo were planted at the entrance, exuding an "elegant" atmosphere.

"Mr. Lu." Two women in kimonos stood at the entrance, greeting Lu Jue, "Please come this way."

Upon entering, the first sight was a small pond shrouded in mist, with mountain and water landscape relief carvings on the walls.

The low green plants planted by the pond were lush and varied, and everyone just stared blankly for a while, unable to name any of them.

The small path paved with bluestone wound its way into the courtyard. Lu Jue had already taken off his shoes and stepped onto the wooden corridor when he turned around and realized that everyone was admiring the scenery in the front yard.

"Don't just stand there, hurry and come in." Lu Jue said with a chuckle.

With Lu Jue's reminder, the Uma Musume finally came back to their senses.

"Trainer, is this the hotel you booked?" The environment here made Tokai Teio feel very comfortable.

"It's newly built, didn't I tell you?" To prevent the surprised Uma Musume from guessing wildly, Lu Jue simply explained, "This is a hotel my father invested in and built after he learned we were coming for the training camp. It's designed in your local style."

"Trainer's father specially built it for us?" Rice Shower covered her mouth; she had just thought it was an investment by the academy.

Lu Jue nodded, "You could say that."

"Yay! Father is awesome!" Tokai Teio cheered loudly.

"Please, that's my father......"

"Ahem, Father is quite considerate." Seiun Sky coughed a few times, then suddenly spoke up too.

Since she was getting so bold, how could Silence Suzuka remain silent? "Lu Jue-jun, if there's a chance, I'd like to thank...... Father in person."

Then it was the innocent and adorable Uralala's turn to speak, "Trainer, does Father need any more daughters?"

"No, if you really want to call someone that, you can recognize me as your father. I wouldn't mind making that sacrifice."

If Uralala was allowed to call him Dad, then Silence Suzuka and Seiun Sky would also be allowed.

"Hurry up and come in, there's another surprise."

......

After entering the hallway, Lu Jue led everyone to see the rooms.

"I think you probably find it more fun to stay together, right? Or one person per room? You decide yourselves."

"Will Trainer also be with us?" Seiun Sky suddenly asked.

"Do you even hear what you're asking?"

However, only Tokai Teio, Special Week, and Rice Shower thought Seiun Sky was joking.

The others each had their own thoughts.

Uralala: "I still want to sleep with Trainer. Last time, I even slept covered by Trainer's clothes, but unfortunately, after washing them, they no longer smelled like Trainer."

Nimble Beret: "Sleeping together...... hiding under the covers, Trainer stroking my tail, me stroking Trainer......"

Silence Suzuka: "Will we be discovered? But we'll be here for half a month...... No, I won't be able to resist going to find Lu Jue-jun."

......

The Uma Musume discussed it and quickly came to a conclusion.

Uralala, Rice Shower, Silence Suzuka, and Special Week in one room.

Nimble Beret, Tokai Teio, and Seiun Sky in another room.

Lu Jue chose a room closer to them, "I'll be staying near you all, so don't let me catch you chatting late at night instead of sleeping."

"Got it~ Trainer, no sneaking into the girls' dorm at night, okay?" Tokai Teio teased, pushing her suitcase into the room.

"What kind of person do you take me for?" Lu Jue chuckled and scolded.

However, speaking of sneaking around at night... why did he feel like he was the most dangerous one?

Seiun Sky was still easy to control; as long as he took the initiative, she would easily wilt, and she wouldn't dare anyway.

But Silence Suzuka was truly difficult to handle. When she was gentle, she was genuinely harmless... but only Lu Jue had seen her crazy side.

When she became assertive, she was truly assertive and unstoppable.

As for Uralala and Nimble Beret, Lu Jue didn't associate them with "night raids" at all.

Seeing all the Uma Musume going to put away their luggage, Lu Jue also cast aside the wild thoughts in his mind and turned to his own room.

Training hadn't officially started today, so it could be considered a vacation.

By the time everyone was mostly settled, it was almost noon.

Lu Jue came out of his room and called the Uma Musume to the next surprise location, "Everyone, follow me, there are two more surprises."

This training camp and stay would not only involve sweat and hard work but also rich and diverse entertainment, which would surely leave everyone with profound and beautiful memories.
