I, the horse racing girl, really didn’t sprint!

"Thanks anyway," Barbatos said seriously.

Regarding the question of Flag, I originally just thought about it for my own amusement, but later I really felt like I was bound by Flag.

If it weren't for Xingyun Tiankong, she would still have won, but she would most likely have run away timidly.

I look to my side and it’s great to see you.

I'm really sorry about the updates in the past two days.

I have had severe toothache these past two days. The pain in the tooth nerves caused headaches and cervical pain. I almost fell back into bed after typing a few words.

I wanted to stick with the update yesterday, but the pain relief from ibuprofen wasn't very effective.

I'm doing okay today, I'll try to make up for the updates I've made.

Chapter 105 The Troubles of Being Famous

Marunouchi.

This is a street near the subway station.

Looking around, the trees on both sides of the street have turned yellow, but there is no feeling of desolation.

It seems that the color of the leaves is supposed to be like this, and it is somewhat pleasing to the eye.

Barbatos looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "I'm lucky. I just walked around and found a street with nice scenery."

"Well, I'm lucky."

Nebula Sky nodded in agreement.

This was not a matter of luck; she had "happened" to see this place online beforehand.

Because it was close to the subway station, she walked towards here. She didn't say that this was the place she would bring Barbatos to after winning.

It's just a good opportunity to play a little trick on Barbatos.

I always find it quite interesting to see her blushing.

"It's Tokyo, after all. Even here, there are so many people. It's nothing like Kochi City. Let's talk about that."

If it were Kochi City, it wouldn't be a problem if you didn't run on the track dedicated to Uma Musume, but here, you could get killed if you're not careful.

"Hmm? Are there not many people from Kochi?"

"After all, many people are heading to first-tier cities, and there are very few people left in Kochi."

Barbatos was also not clear about Kochi's specific situation. After all, as a horse girl in her previous life, she didn't know about such things.

She simply answered by applying common situations in China, which is probably the same everywhere.

"Speaking of which, after you retire, are you planning to go home or stay in Tresen?"

I still remember the photo on Xingyun Tiankong’s mobile phone lock screen. It was said that it was taken when she and her grandfather were fishing for big fish. Barbatos has reason to suspect that Xingyun Tiankong will choose to return to her hometown to fish after retiring.

"Well, who knows?"

"It feels like there's still a lot of time left. Maybe I'll become a legendary horse girl."

Nebula Sky said nonchalantly that if she became a legendary horse girl and was willing, she would stay at Tresen Academy to practice and prepare for the annual Dream Cup.

"Of course you can. After all, you beat Super Bay's horse girl in the long distance."

"I'm the only Uma Musume recognized by Barbatos, a legendary figure from the moment he debuted!"

"Ok?"

Xingyun Tiankong put his hands behind his back and said, "If it weren't for Senior Xiaowan's oblique movement, I wouldn't be able to win now, but the second reason is good."

"Hey~"

Barbatos smiled and suddenly thought about what it would be like if he was really with Xingyun Tiankong.

Should she still lift the S-League trophy in the future? It’s not a glory that she can win as soon as she participates in the competition. It’s a war that may not be stopped for two or three years.

Especially in the case of Japanese e-sports, if she really wants to win the S championship, she probably can only go to China as a Japanese aid.

In that case, even if she becomes a legendary horse girl, it is still unclear whether she can come back to participate in the Dream Cup.

"Look over there, it's Barbatos!!!"

At this time, someone shouted this.

Barbatos saw several young men hurriedly running up to him and the other two, "It's the real Barbatos!"

"Hello, Ms. Barbatos, could you please sign an autograph for us?"

"We are your fans and were just watching your game."

Looking at the enthusiasm of the people in front of him, Barbatos was a little surprised. He still remembered the fans he met with Nebula Sky during his debut competition. They were all relatively reserved, not as exaggerated as the ones in front of him.

But she didn't choose to refuse.

This was the first time she had ever been asked for an autograph in public.

"Okay, where do I sign?"

"Just sign it on the clothes, I will keep it as a treasure!"

I took the pen from the young people, signed my name on their clothes, and at their request, took a photo together with my mobile phone.

"Ms. Barbatos, you must win the next Game 2 and let others know that you are the true genius of the world!"

"Well, I won't lose."

She didn't expect that someone was still thinking about the topic of the world's genius that was on the hot search a month ago.

I thought that no one would remember this kind of topic after a while.

After watching the young men leave, she was about to continue walking on the street with Xingyun Tiankong when she realized that a group of people had gathered nearby without her noticing.

"Barbatos! We are your fans, can you sign an autograph for us too?"

"Ah this..."

"sure."

It seemed that the number of fans she could meet here was more than she had expected.

Normally when I walk around Tresen Academy, I just say hello to those who support me, but here they all want my autograph and take photos with me.

I feel like I have wasted some of my time walking on the street with Xingyun Tiankong.

The most outrageous thing was that she saw that among the crowd asking her for an autograph, there was a newlywed couple who had just taken photos on the other side of the street. They were still wearing their wedding dress and groom's suit and came to ask her for an autograph.

Is she so famous in Japan now?

About half an hour later, when she could hardly write her own name, she finally signed the names of all the fans who wanted autographs.

I breathed a long sigh of relief. Signing at this time was really not something a human could do.

Looking at Xingyun Tiankong who was waiting nearby, he said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect so many fans. If I had known, I would have refused to sign autographs or take photos with them."

After signing for the first person, Barbatos always felt it was unfair if he didn't sign for the next person.

“It’s no surprise that there are so many fans.”

"Your race just ended at Tokyo Racecourse today, so it's normal for some of the spectators who watched your race to be here."

There was a smile in Xingyun Tiankong's eyes, "My hand is shaking as I sign the autograph."

I forgot about this when I planned to come here with Barbatos.

"Stop talking. I almost don't know my own name anymore."

Barbatos shook his hands and said, "I hope I won't encounter any more fans asking for autographs later."

"Then follow me."

As he spoke, Xingyun Tiankong reached out and grabbed Barbatos' still trembling right hand, then walked in one direction.

Without looking at the slightly rosy flush on Barbatos's face, she mentally told herself that holding hands was a "very normal" thing between horse girls.

Being held by the little hand of Nebula Sky, Barbatos came to a shop with a blank mind.

Fortunately, they had the experience of holding hands during the cultural festival, so the situation between the two of them was not as serious as it was at that time. It was actually normal for them to pretend to hold hands.

The store we walked into was a clothing store.

Without waiting for the shopping guide to come over, Xingyun Tiankong pulled Barbatos to the place where hats were displayed, picked out a baseball cap and put it on Barbatos' head.

When the two ears are covered, although it can still be seen from the tail that it is a horse girl, it is not immediately recognizable as Barbatos.

"That's fine."

Barbatos felt that the current nebula sky was like picking a pair for his partner.

I always feel a little itchy in my heart, "Wait, there's still a little more."

He pressed down the baseball cap on his head with his left hand, then reached out and took a baseball cap of the same style from the hat rack and put it on Xingyun Tiankong's head.

"If I recognized you, wouldn't I be able to guess that the person next to me is me?"

Chapter 106 Pretending to be a Couple

"8000 yen received from LINE~"

As the sound of payment arrived rang out.

Barbatos adjusted the brim of his hat, and after making sure that he would most likely not be surrounded by fans again, he walked out of the shop with Xingyun Tiankong.

When they wear the same baseball cap, they really look like a couple.

“I can actually pay with LINE now.”

She couldn't help but sigh, "When I was in Kochi, most transactions were still in cash."

Compared with China, mobile payment in Japan does not seem to be well developed, especially in more remote areas.

It seems that you can only use mobile payment when you are near Tresen Academy, or in places like Tokyo and Osaka.

"Where do we go next?"

Walking out of the shop and looking around, Barbatos, who was here for the first time, didn't have much idea.

"Go there."

“There should be a milk tea shop over there.”

Xingyun Tiankong pointed to a certain location and said, "I'm not sure."

"Among the fans who asked you for an autograph just now, there was one who came over there holding milk tea."

"With your observation skills, it would be a shame if you didn't become a detective. You're the savior of the Japanese police."

"And then Inspector Megure called you Brother Nebula?" Nebula Sky said with a sidelong smile.

"He calls everyone "brother" when he meets them. After all, he is a hero."

Barbatos agreed, but then he felt something was wrong. Nebula Sky actually picked up on his joke, "Uh, did you see the famous steamed egg?"

"I watched a few episodes."

Xingyun Tiankong shrugged. She had indeed only watched a few episodes and found them quite boring.

I feel that the TV version doesn’t look as good as the movie version. After all, she can also guess who the criminal is.

However, what happened with the milk tea shop was not something she speculated.

She already knew that there was a milk tea shop in that place. Marunouchi was the place she originally planned to bring Barbatos to, so how could she not have known about it?

Besides, that milk tea shop is having a promotion recently, so I feel like I can take the opportunity to play a trick on Barbatos.

Just when Barbatos had put on her hat, she was a little panicked and her heart beat faster.

But Barbatos probably didn't notice.

Maybe it was because she was wearing a hat, or because everyone around her had already asked for an autograph, but Barbatos didn't encounter any situation where she was stopped and asked for an autograph.

Walking hand in hand with Nebula Sky on the streets of Marunouchi.

It's like walking on the street with your girlfriend after the final exam.

It would have felt good, if her hands hadn't been sweaty.

Her resistance to holding hands has improved since the last cultural festival, but she is still nervous, just like an inexperienced virgin holding hands with the girl he likes for the first time.

There were many young men and women walking hand in hand.
