Uma Musume, from entry level to basement

"Trainer Tang Han." Kiryuin Aoi waved her hand, attracting Tang Han's attention.

"Trainer Kiryuin, is there anything wrong?" Tang Han asked.

"Trainer Tang Han, our bet..." Kiryuin Aoi blinked, with an expression that said you know what I mean.

"Bet?" Tang Han thought about it.

The bet that Kiryuin Aoi was talking about was the one she made with Tang Han just now about whether Ulala would win or Happy Mickey would win.

If Happy Miko wins, Tang Han has to treat her to a meal. If Ulala wins, she will be Tang Han's girlfriend.

Now that Ulala and Happy Mickey are double champions, it means that not only will Kiryuin Aoi become his girlfriend, but the two of them will also go out for dinner later, which is equivalent to a couple's date.

Haha, what kind of idiotic harem romance plot is this? No one thinks it’s so easy to get a girlfriend, right?

Tang Han was very smart and knew that Kiryuin Aoi was joking, so of course he couldn't believe it.

“No one will believe it, right?”

Tang Han looked around and found that something was wrong with everyone.

Except for Huang Jinchuan who looked like he was watching a show, the other members of the Tucker team looked at Tang Han with a strange expression.

"Tang Han and Tuoleina are in love now. Will he forget to make special honey drinks for everyone..." Mubai McQueen touched his waist.

"Tang Han Tuocuina has a girlfriend now. Will he abandon Ulala..." A dangerous look appeared in the Saint King's eyes.

"Gu..." Especially Mi Yu and the Emperor of the East China Sea, their cheeks puffed up.

"Big brother..."

"Tolerna..."

The two horse girls pulled Tang Han's arms, looked at him eagerly, and waited for his next answer.

Tang Han: “?”

What do you mean by those looks? Do you really think he'll be Kiryuin Aoi's boyfriend? He didn't agree to the bet!

Just as Tang Han was explaining that this was just a joke, Xingyun suddenly came up with a good idea.

Lucky: Boss, I actually have a bold idea.

Tang Han: What’s your idea?

Luck: If the horse girl you are in charge of wins first place, you can generate hope energy.

Lucky: And if you make Kiryuin Aoi yours, then her horsegirl will also be yours.

Lucky: And now both Ulala and Miko have won first place...

Lucky: That is to say, as long as you become Aoi Kiryuin's boyfriend now, the hope energy you collect this time will be doubled!

Lucky: That way you'll have extra energy to strengthen your physique. Boss, would you consider it?

Tang Han: ...

69. Horse Jump (Table)

"Would you like to consider it, sir?"

"Not even considering it! Take it away quickly!" Tang Han naturally timidly rejected Lucky's bold idea.

Because this bet was just a joke made by Kiryuin Aoi and had no practical significance, even if Tang Han acknowledged the bet, Kiryuin Aoi would not really become his girlfriend.

And even if it succeeds, it will only double the energy collected by Ulala in her debut battle, and then what?

Using this extra energy to add points, so that he might be stuck longer in the future? It makes no sense! Tang Han would never accept this proposal.

Even if he was jumped to death by the horse and fell from here, there was no way he would become a boyfriend or girlfriend with Kiryuin Aoi for this little bit of energy!

Although Tang Han was sure that he would not agree to this bet, it would not be a good idea to refuse directly, as it would make him seem too serious and unromantic.

Moreover, Tang Han had an inexplicable feeling that if he agreed, even if it was a joke, Tang Han always felt that he would be in a very dangerous situation!

So in order to be able to stand on the ground and get along well with Kiryuin Aoi in the future, Tang Han decided to change the subject:

"Eh? Looks like there's going to be a winner's stage performance soon. Let's go grab a seat. This is Ulala and Miko's first performance."

After each Uma Musume competition, a performance is held called the Winner's Stage, where the top three performers of the competition. This is what is normally called a horse jump, and is used to attract fans for the winning Uma Musume.

And Ulala and Happy Mickey are two of the three horse girls on the debut winner stage!

"Ulala-chan's performance!" Saint King Halo's ears stood up straight, and he was the first to be interested.

As Ulala’s mother, how could I miss my daughter’s performance!

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Saint King Halo excitedly grabbed Tang Han's collar and forcibly took him to the winner's stage.

If you ask why Tang Han was the one who was pulled by the Holy King's halo, it was of course because Tang Han was Ulala's trainer and had to be present, otherwise Ulala would be sad if she couldn't see her own trainer.

Well... maybe it's because I trust Tang Han Tuolena more... Tang Han Tuolena made Ulala grow so strong. As a trainer, he is trustworthy in terms of strength and character...

Well...why not consider inviting him to be your trainer...

Ah... Anyway, I am a first-class Saint King. As long as I ask to be Tang Han Tuoleina's horse girl, he will definitely agree happily...

"Cough cough." Saint King Halo's face turned slightly red for some reason. After coughing awkwardly a few times, he continued to drag Tang Han away.

"......" Although Tang Han was a little confused as to why the Holy King Halo wanted to drag him away, he was not very worried.

It's not like you're being dragged to the horse's throat, so what's there to be afraid of?

Moreover, if she dragged Tang Han away, she could forcibly end the previous topic and solve Tang Han's dilemma. It was a two-birds-with-one-stone move and very reasonable.

So Tang Han did not resist and let the Holy King's halo drag him away.

"Come here quickly too." Tang Han, who was being dragged, shouted to everyone who was still there.

"Big brother!"

"Tolena!"

"Trafficking... No, Tang Han is dragging Na!"

Mi Yu, Emperor of the East China Sea, and Mebai McQueen hurried to follow.

"Haha, Trainer Tang Han has a really good relationship with the horse girls in the team, I can't fall behind!" Kiryuin Aoi smiled and followed.

"....." The Golden Ship watched everyone running silently for a while before starting to chase.

.....

Because the Holy King Halo dragged Tang Han to the audience seats of the winner's stage early, everyone occupied the front row of the audience seats with the best views.

Everyone stood quietly, chatting from time to time, waiting for the performance to begin.

About an hour later, the sky darkened and the stage began to light up with gorgeous lights. Three horse girls in beautiful stage costumes skipped to the center of the stage and greeted the audience.

The top three in the competition are Ulala, Happy Miko, and Delicious Fresh!

"Nathan! Saint King! Mimi! And everyone!" Ulala stood in the middle and waved cutely towards Tang Han.

Normally, the champion stands in the C position, but now there are two champions, so after drawing lots, it was decided that Ulala would stand in the C position.

"Next, these three lovely horse girls will present a horse jumping legend for everyone!"

"Oh——" the audience cheered.

The music started and the performance began.

"Woo——Uma Musume~"

"Woo——Horse Racing Girl Jump~Horse Racing Girl Jump~"

"Woo——I like it so much~"

"Woo——Uma Musume~"

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm~3~2~1~Fright!!"

Ulala, Happy Miko and Delicious Fresh started dancing to the beat of the music.

They danced very well, but they couldn't keep up with the beat.

Although Tang Han asked Wulala to focus most of her energy on training, he did not neglect dancing practice and still took some time to learn dancing.

Although Ulala's dancing is still a little stiff and she can only barely keep up with the rhythm of the music, it is not a big problem.

Because as long as all three horse girls on the stage danced like this stiffly, there would be no problem at all.

At this time, except for Ulala, the other two horse girls also had trouble dancing to the beat.

Like Ulala, Happy Mickey is not very skilled in dancing because he is so focused on training.

The third place winner, Delicious Fresh, was because he was not able to go on a date with his trainer and was in a bad mood.

The three horse girls couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the music, which resulted in the fact that the rhythm of their dance was magically the same!

The three horse girls' movements and rhythm are exactly the same, and there is no sign that they can't keep up with the beat.

Wait, that's wrong. What do you mean by "can't keep up with the beat"? It's obviously the music that's too fast! It's the sound engineer's fault!

Sound engineer! What are you doing?

"I don't know!" The sound engineer was also very anxious at this time, not understanding what he had done wrong.

I clearly reacted in time and slowed down the music several times, but why did the music speed up again before the three horse girls on stage even danced for a few seconds?!

Are the three horse girls on the stage dancing slowly?

But their movements are exactly the same, so it must be the music!

At this point, the performance reached its climax.

"doki~doki~doki~doki~doki~doki~"

"Your dear Uma Musume!"

Because it was the climax, the three horse girls had practiced this part a lot, so they matched the beat of the music and brought a visual feast to the audience.

"Oh——" the audience shouted excitedly, waving their glow sticks to cheer for them.

"How weird!" The sound engineer was completely confused.

How come the music is right now? This is unscientific!

No matter how hard the sound engineer thought, he couldn't figure out the cause of the problem, so he had to give up and decided to report to his boss and replace the speaker.

"Oh, oh, oh - you are worthy of being the roommate of the first-class Saint King. You are also first-class in cuteness, although not as good as the first-class me." Saint King Halo had already picked up the phone and took pictures of Ulala at a speed of ten frames per second.

"Miyu will also be like Ulala in the future and bring happiness to everyone!"

"In every future competition, I, the Emperor, will stand in Ulala's position!"

Mi Yu and the Emperor of the East China Sea made up their minds silently.

"Would you like some fried noodles? Fried noodles go perfectly with the winner's stage." The Golden Ship was selling fried noodles.

"Fresh sauce..." At this time, a voice attracted Tang Han's attention.

Tang Han suddenly discovered that the delicious and fresh trainer was right next to him!

At this time, the elder brother looked at the sad delicious freshness on the stage with heartache and a melancholy face.

"Is Freshly-chan acting like this because you couldn't get first place..."

"She has done well and shouldn't be so sad..."

"I must tell her! She will always be number one in my heart!"

The old man muttered to himself and left the audience before the performance was over. He then walked into the dark backstage passage and disappeared from Tang Han's sight...

A few minutes later, with Ulala and her friends performing the last dance move pointing to the sky, the horse jumping performance ended successfully.

"Woooo————" The audience below the stage cheered enthusiastically.

"amazing!"

“I really want to see it again!”

"Thank you everyone~" Ulala and the others waved goodbye to the audience enthusiastically, and then left the winner's stage.
