The afternoon nap time was quite ample.
After lunch, the Uma Musume, feeling tired, fell into a deep sleep.
However, it was not advisable to sleep too long, so about forty minutes later, Lu Jue woke everyone up.
"Wake up, everyone. Wash your faces to freshen up," Lu Jue said, looking at their adorable sleepy, eye-rubbing faces.
Like unfeathered chicks in a nest, Lu Jue's heart instantly melted.
"Trainer, you're trespassing in the girls' dorm!" Tokai Teio covered her mouth, yawning, her voice a bit hoarse from just waking up.
"I haven't even stepped a foot inside, and your door wasn't closed to begin with."
"Besides, the alarm has been ringing for so long, and you're all still sleeping like little pigs."
"Trainer ~" Uralala poked her small head out from the adjacent room.
He didn't know how she slept; her long pink hair looked like it was full of thorns, sticking up in tufts here and there.
Her delicate brows were furrowed, her fair face still veiled by a faint layer of frost, and the fatigue on her face wouldn't dissipate.
"What is it?"
"Uralala wants you to help her comb her hair," Uralala said in a sweet, childish voice, and without waiting for Lu Jue's reply, she took his wrist. "Come on, Teio won't let you in here, but Uralala will."

Couldn't refuse, simply couldn't refuse.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming."
"Eh..."
Tokai Teio still wanted to say something, but Lu Jue had already been led away by Uralala.
Just then, Nimble Beret's voice suddenly came from behind her, "Seiun... what are you doing?"
Tokai Teio turned her head, only to see Seiun Sky grabbing her own hair with both hands.
She remembered that Seiun Sky had already combed her hair just now...
"Oh, I just felt it was a bit messy," Seiun Sky got up from the bed. "So, I also want Trainer to help me comb my hair."
With her messy hair, she turned and left, not looking back.
Tokai Teio was speechless, but then saw Nimble Beret pass by her, sporting a bird's nest hairstyle.
"You all..."
They all left.
It seemed quite lively over there...
Maybe I should join in too.
...
There were no stools in the room.
Lu Jue sat cross-legged, and Uralala also sat cross-legged in front of him, holding an apple.
This scene greatly resembled a father grooming his daughter about to go to school.
But Lu Jue had the heart to be a father, while Uralala didn't want to be a daughter.
"Where's the comb?"
"Here you go," Uralala handed it over.
Silent Suzuka, Special Week, Rice Shower, and Seiun Sky, Nimble Beret, and Tokai Teio, who had just come from the next room, all gathered around.
"You all want me to comb your hair too?"
"Does Trainer only want to be Uralala's personal Tony?" Silent Suzuka was direct, hitting the nail on the head.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Then line up."
Uralala, on the other hand, thought Silent Suzuka's suggestion was very good.
Her desire to share was not high; it would be great if Lu Jue only combed her hair.
Moreover, although she could feel Lu Jue right behind her, Uralala still felt she was sitting too far away.
She wanted to sit directly in Lu Jue's arms.
...
Lu Jue meticulously combed the Uma Musume's hair, braided it, and put on hair accessories.
But he also incorporated his personal ideas.
For example, he liked to tie two small braids for Seiun Sky and a ponytail for Silence Suzuka.
Special Week's was more complex; Lu Jue tied a braid around the side and back.
"Lu Jue-jun, why are you so skilled?" Silent Suzuka narrowed her eyes.
Seiun Sky hadn't changed so many hairstyles either, had she?
And she could tell that Lu Jue's hair-tying technique was not at all clumsy.

"That's right, did Trainer also get a barber's certificate?" Seiun Sky keenly noticed this question.
"How would I have time to get so many certificates? However, I did practice before."
"Who? Didn't Lu Jue-jun say he hadn't been in a relationship?" Silent Suzuka seemed to be gossiping, but only Lu Jue understood the hidden danger within her words.
"My mother, she's a very beauty-loving person."
In his memory, Liu Zhi was very well-preserved and had a high level of temperament and cultivation.
"So it was Mother..." Seiun Sky whispered.
Thinking about traveling to Dragon Country after the new year, she suddenly became nervous.

"Alright, next is Rice Shower, sit down."
"Mm." Rice Shower obediently sat down in front of Lu Jue.
Her hair usually curled up naturally, so Lu Jue basically didn't need to do much to it.
But if he were to give Rice Shower a new hairstyle, he didn't have any special ideas at the moment, and it was almost time to gather anyway.
Twin tails? Big waves?
Lu Jue carefully put on her headband and then pinned the blue rose. "Mimi, does this eye, usually hidden in your hair, ever feel uncomfortable?"
"It doesn't once you get used to it."
"Alright." Lu Jue also put on Rice Shower's hat, signaling that she could leave.
"Last one... Emperor." Lu Jue smiled at Tokai Teio. "Your hair isn't messy either."
"Can't I groom it if it's not messy?" Tokai Teio said haughtily, huffing a few times as she sat down. "Everyone else got theirs groomed, if Trainer doesn't groom mine, does he have a problem with me!"
Lu Jue shook his head and chuckled, "How could I? What if you run away from the team then?"
"Hehe, good that you know, Xiao Lu, hurry up and comb my hair."
"Alright, alright ~"
Lu Jue roughly combed Tokai Teio's hair when he suddenly felt an itch.
All the other Uma Musume had their tails swept to the side, but only Tokai Teio's tail rested on his lap.
The touch was very soft, but it kept rubbing, making him feel a bit ticklish.
"Your hair isn't messy, but your tail is a bit frizzy. Do you want me to comb it for you?"
Lu Jue took the comb and scraped it, unexpectedly, Tokai Teio suddenly bounced up as if stimulated.
"My tail!? My tail... no need."
"Alright then." Lu Jue put aside his doubts, planning to discuss the mysteries of tails thoroughly with Silence Suzuka when he had time. "Now everyone, get ready, we're leaving soon."
