As a trainer, Miura Maki had always felt that while becoming a trainer hadn't been her intention, it was certainly a great job.
As an adult, she could guide and teach these sweet, well-behaved Uma Musume to pursue their dreams and stay focused on their goals. Watching them gradually transform into dazzling new stars was undoubtedly a fulfilling and happy career.
And the close but not overly intimate relationship between trainers and Uma Musume, built on mutual trust and support, made Miura Maki feel comfortable, too.
Of course, it was understandable that the Uma Musume occasionally went through emotional ups and downs, requiring Miura Maki to stay up all night talking them through it. They were teenagers, after all. Wasn't it perfectly normal for a mature big sister to offer guidance?
They were all girls, so it was only natural that they treated one another like best friends and were close in everyday life! Wasn't that how all female trainers were?
"So you're just worrying over nothing. My Uma Musume and I have perfectly healthy and safe relationships. They're all proper, well-behaved Uma Musume! You all just worry too much."
As Miura Maki spoke at length to others, completely oblivious to what was going on, the legendary Uma Musume she had trained from the ground up all gave her 'kind' looks.
