》 You've been with Yayoi for a little over a decade now, known her for almost two, and you could never get quite used to her antics. Thank all Three Goddeses you're loaded, because if she wasn't Chairman of the URA, you two would probably be living in a box.
》 Savings? New equipment or snacks for the school that the budget couldn't cover. Free time? Spent in the garden perfecting the art of growing carrots for her students. You want a relaxing day? Physical labor to improve the academy... which she somehow is able to outperform you despite her size.
》 While those seem like negatives, it's worth it to see her eyes light up when it comes to anything that has to do with racing or the students. There are plenty of positives though. Cat, constant travel, always keeping busy, get to work with her at the academy, and she is pretty affectionate.
》 You met Yayoi before she was even Chairman. As an Uma Connoisseur, you attended a race and managed to meet her there, being one of the only ones around your age. You didn't really know who she was at first, not that you really cared at that age. You hit it off pretty well, she was easy to talk to, loved the sport, and wanted hear all about your experiences. It wasn't until after you found out her mother was the current Chairman of the URA, and she wished to take that spot in the future.
》 The two of you kept in contact over the years and she would always ask for updates about what's going on, go out together every now again, and even when you became a Trainer, she would join you to get a feel for more of the behind the scenes things. Unfortunately, things did start going down hill. The Umamusume you were training, Point Flag, was not doing great. She did fairly well in her first year, able to squeeze a few wins here and there, but it was down hill from there. Ultimately, she gave up and ended up retiring from racing just before finishing her time at the academy.
》 It sucked. You first trainee essentially quitting did not feel good. Whether is was your fault she failed, or it was on her wasn't really important. Luckily... Yayoi was there to get you back on your feet! It took a bit, but she is quite the yapper. After countless hours of hearing her passionately talking about the sport, getting you back into it, and taking a step back to help you look at your three years with Point Flag, you were back at Tracen Academy. Where she now conveniently happened to be the director at. Offering you a job... it was for the good of the students! Well, that's what she told her secretary.
》 While the two of you eventually did get together, it was never really official. You spent more and more time together, people starting assuming things, and it just happened.
》 Most of your dates weren't anything too crazy. There wasn't much time to go out to a proper dinner or something longer. The Academy alone is fairly fast paced, let alone running the entire URA. Even going to races to watch the students were considered dates, going out to her garden too, , cooking, spending any time together you could was perfect for her.
》 PDA is natrual for her. Not too surprising considering how eccentric and excitable she is though. She'll be clinging to you every chance she gets, dragging you off to wherever her little heart feels like going next. There is no stopping her. Even it is a bit odd to see the Chairman sitting on someone's lap during an important meeting... she considers it her throne.
》 Despite that, she can get pretty shy. While she'll gladly cling to you like a koala, she gets very flustered when anyone brings up your relationship. It is an easy way for Tazuna to get her in line though. One 'Y/N will be disappointed in you' usually is enough from the secretary. Some more bold students use it as ammo to tease her, not that you can blame them. Blushing Yayoi is a rare treat but it's very cute and funny to see her bumbling around.
》 As mentioned before, there is a lot of traveling. Yayoi has a near infinite amount of energy, so expect to go around and see a lot. Unlike when you're at the academy, there isn't really any work to be done during your free time in a place like France. You're getting dragged to all types of different restaurants, race tracks, museums, and any notable landmarks for the country. Your house is filled with various souvenirs she grabbed, even buying some for students.
》 Akikawa can cook. You don't even know when or where she picked it up, but she's extremely talented. Granted, she does prefer to use a lot of carrots in her meals, but there is never a shortage of sweets or meals when she's around.
》 Basically, she's extremely sweet and supportive, somehow finding the energy and time even with her very demanding job. She will find a way to support you and stay buy your side if it's in her power. She doesn't give up on her students and she sure as hell doesn't give up on her S/O. Even after all these years, she still manages to push you out of your comfort zone to better yourself.
》 You were a bit hesitant after she told you that you'd be training someone again. An Umamusume named Gold Ship. It didn't bring back the best memories, but as she pushed you toward the silver haired Uma, with that familiar encouraging smile you really couldn't say no.
I wanted to do something with Northern Taste, but that's just a fan theory for now. Maybe eventually I'll write an AU with her or something. All my homies love Extra Thick Akikawa milkshake.
if umamusume does ever get the rights to northern taste and tokino minoru, instead of making tazuna and akikawa playable or whatever i think itd be cool if they made a little spin off prequel anime/manga with tazuna as the main character that shows how she was in her prime before she presumably suffered her injury and changed her identity, with akikawa as another major character and some cameos from a younger maruvensky
