Uma Musume, from entry level to basement

"Yes." Tang Han nodded and pushed Ulala in front of him.

"Didn't Ulala win first place in her debut match a few days ago? So I'm planning to throw her a celebration party today. Let's buy some fresh ingredients and make a delicious meal in the Tucker team's training room tonight."

"What a coincidence! I also wanted to celebrate for Miko today!" Kiryuin Aoi was surprised at first, then touched her head awkwardly.

"It's just that we don't have a place to hold the party, so we came here to have a meal and do some shopping."

"Oh, that's how it is." Tang Han suddenly realized.

It's such a coincidence that they all thought of celebrating today.

Tang Han thought, since it was already such a coincidence, why not make it even more coincidental.

So Tang Han suggested:

"Trainer Kiryuin, how about you and Miko come to our training room and we hold a celebration party for them?"

"Eh? Is it really possible?" Kiryuin Aoi was surprised.

Not only did they both think of celebrating their own pony girls today, but Trainer Tang Han also generously invited them to join the celebration party, avoiding the embarrassment of her and Miko having to go out for a meal because they had no place to celebrate.

"It's really comfortable to get along with Trainer Tang Han."

Kiryuin smiled and bowed slightly to Tang Han.

"Then thank you, Trainer Tang Han."

102. Date Invitation

After deciding to hold a celebration party with Kiryuin Aoi and Happy Miko in the Tucker team's training room tonight, everyone went shopping happily.

The four horse girls, Ulala, Miyu, Saint King Halo, and Happy Miko, walked in front to buy their favorite food.

Tang Han and Kiryuin Aoi followed them and chatted.

"Trainer Tang Han, what do you usually do during your rest time?" asked Aoi Kiryuin.

Because except for occasionally seeing Tang Han training his own pony girl in the afternoon, Kiryuin Aoi didn't know where he went at other times, so Kiryuin Aoi was quite curious about what Tang Han usually did.

"I usually stay in the dormitory and read." Tang Han replied.

"Reading?" Kiryuin Aoi showed interest.

"I also like reading. What kind of books does Trainer Tang Han read?"

"Um... probably books about how to be a qualified trainer, making training tools, massaging horse girls, and cooking gourmet food." Tang Han told the truth.

"Huh? Is Trainer Tang Han so hardworking?" Kiryuin Aoi was surprised.

"Although I also read some professional books, I still read more romance novels. It seems that I still need to learn more from Trainer Tang Han."

"No, it's not that I'm diligent. The main reason is that I don't know what good books there are, and I don't have any friends to hang out with, so I can only read professional books to kill time."

"I see..." Kiryuin Aoi thought for a moment and then suggested:

"How about I go out with Trainer Tang Han next time?"

Ever since Tang Han helped her teach Happy Mickey to think in reverse at the last exchange meeting, Kiryuin Aoi has long wanted to invite Tang Han out and communicate with him more, but she couldn't find him. Now is the opportunity!

"This..." Tang Han was a little hesitant when faced with Kiryuin Aoi's invitation to go out.

Is this considered a friendship card outing?

Although Tang Han had never understood why his horse girl's motivation and mood would improve when the friendship card was out, normally, seeing her trainer hanging out with another woman, shouldn't she be jealous and angry? But it actually boosted her motivation and mood? Isn't that a bit strange...

But Tang Han thought about it and decided that he had nothing to do during his break, and Aoi Kiryuin was not a scary horse girl, so it would not matter if he went out to play. Maybe he could learn more about trainers from talking with her, so why not?

So Tang Han finally accepted Kiryuin Aoi's invitation.

"Alright, I'll leave it to Trainer Kiryuin then."

"It's a deal. Next time you're free, let's go out and play together. I'm thinking, how about going to the library and reading?"

"Read a book? Okay!" Tang Han thought it was okay.

He originally thought that going out with a girl would inevitably involve shopping with her and eating delicious food with her at a dessert shop, which was no different from a date. This was quite unfriendly to Tang Han, who had always followed the warnings of his predecessors not to fall in love with colleagues.

But if he just went to the library to read, Tang Han would have no problem at all.

After all, both parties are reading books and immersed in their own worlds. They can learn something new without causing misunderstandings, which is the best of both worlds.

"Oh, right." At this time, Kiryuin Aoi seemed to think of something and took out a notebook titled "Trainer's Experience Collection" from the back.

"This is the teaching passed down in our family. I have always relied on it to learn how to become an excellent trainer. Trainer Tang Han, would you like to take a look?"

"......" Tang Han looked at the green book and raised his eyebrows.

Isn't this the item that teaches you the golden skill [Will of Strength] in the game?!

I wonder if watching this will help Ulala and the others learn the Will of Strength...

Tang Han thought for a moment, then took out "Trainer from Entry to Basement" and handed it to Kiryuin Aoi.

"In exchange, would you like to take a look at the book I usually study, Trainer Kiryuin?"

"Is this the book that Trainer Tang Han usually studies? I'm very interested, thank you." Kiryuin Aoi took the book, opened it and took a quick look.

It would have been fine if she hadn't read it. After reading it, Kiryuin Aoi widened her eyes and was deeply attracted by the content of the book, unable to extricate herself.

She stopped looking at the road and just lowered her head to read a book, instinctively following Tang Han, who was closest to her.

"Oh?" Tang Han found things interesting.

Tang Han had shown this book to Gangmen Guantong before, to see if it was possible that the book was written by his missing brother. After all, the author wrote a lot in the first half of the book about how to get along well with Ma Muan, showing his Asian style. Moreover, the author and Gangmen Guantong's brother should have both gone into the basement, so maybe they are actually the same person.

But Gangmen Guantong said he couldn't understand the book and the handwriting was unfamiliar to him, so it was not written by his brother.

This made Tang Han feel a little regretful. Not only did he not find an idol, he also did not find a like-minded person who could understand the book as well as he did.

And now, looking at the fascinated look on Kiryuin Aoi's face, it seems that she can understand it!

"......" Tang Han did not disturb Kiryuin Aoi's reading, but silently led the way for her in front, and went to the vegetable shop to pick some radishes to prepare for tonight's celebration banquet.

It was not until ten minutes later that Kiryuin Aoi raised her head, as if she had eaten enough spiritual food, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"call......"

"How is it?" Tang Han asked expectantly.

"This book...is really great!" Aoi Kiryuin was excited, with stars twinkling in her eyes.

"Although the book uses unconventional descriptive techniques and may seem confusing at first glance, if you read it carefully, you will quickly understand what the author wants to express. This descriptive technique is concise and effective, and I really like this style."

"More importantly, he has many unique insights on how to train horse girls. Although I haven't finished reading it and only skimmed through it, I have benefited a lot from those views. I feel like my perspective has changed!"

"I guess the author of this book must be a top trainer!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" After hearing Kiryuin Aoi's pertinent praise for the old man in the basement, Tang Han also became excited.

I didn't expect that Kiryuin Aoi could actually understand this book!

This is awesome! This means that Basement Brother now has another fan besides Tang Han!

"Trainer Tang Han, can you lend me this book so I can take it home and read it for a few days?" Kiryuin Aoi requested.

"Of course no problem." Tang Han agreed without thinking.

"Thank you." After saying thank you, Aoi Kiryuin continued to read with her head down.

"Roar..." Tang Han stood aside, admiring silently.

He is now like recommending his favorite work to his friend. He wishes that Kiryuin Aoi would stop doing anything else and just read the book, and then say more words of praise to him about the work.

However, after looking for a while this time, Kiryuin Aoi suddenly looked embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you don't understand?" Tang Han asked.

"Trainer Tang Han, I wonder if you've noticed something."

"whats the matter?"

"The first half of your book is different from the second half."

"Oh, of course I know that." Tang Han nodded.

He already knew the extremes of this book.

The first part teaches you how to increase Ma Musume's favorability and then quickly enter the basement, so Tang Han skipped it without even reading it.

The latter part is the essence, teaching you how to be an excellent trainer. Tang Han would reread it several times and study it carefully when he had time.

"So Trainer Tang Han knew..." Kiryuin Aoi smiled awkwardly, still feeling that something was wrong with the content in the book.

Because she discovered that the first half and the second half of the book were written by different authors!

The handwriting of the second half, [Trainer Experience], is the same, so it can be determined that it was written by a male.

But the first half, [How to Improve Ma Musume Favorability], is different. There are more than a dozen handwritings, and it seems that a group of girls, or maybe a group of Ma Musume, got together to discuss and wrote it.

It's a very strange thing that more than a dozen horse girls teach you [how to improve the horse girl's favorability] together!

But since Trainer Tang Han knew about it, and seeing how calm he was, it shouldn't be a big deal. She didn't need to remind Trainer Tang Han again...

103. Mejiro family

In the morning, when Tang Han and everyone went to the commercial street to shop, Megumi McQueen returned to his hometown in a private car.

It is a quiet place far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with several Western-style mansions built on it. The overall scale and training equipment are no less than Tresen Academy. In addition, there are various facilities for the members of the Mejiro family to relax, such as gardens, golf courses, swimming pools, etc.

Mejiro McQueen's grandmother, the head of the Mejiro family, has always lived here.

Before today, Mejiro McQueen asked her grandmother to call all her sisters of the same age back to hold a family meeting, because she had something important to tell everyone, which concerned the future of the Mejiro family.

The time was set for this Saturday morning, and the location was the Mejiro family's restaurant. This was why Mejiro McQueen did not attend the Ulala celebration party today.

Pushing open the three-meter-high sandalwood door, Mebai McQueen came to the dining room of his home.

On the long dining table, the servants had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast for them. As the food for members of a large family, the quality and price were naturally of the highest level. One meal was equivalent to half a year's income for an average family.

Mebai McQueen sat in his seat and looked at the expensive breakfast in front of him.

Although these are all carefully prepared by the five-star chef hired by the family, the taste is absolutely first-class. I used to like to eat them, but I often ended up gaining too much weight (crossed out) or slightly gaining weight (confirmed) because of eating too much.

But Mebiru McQueen now feels that these things that she once loved the most are no match for the honey drink made by Tang Han.

Because if she has the goal of controlling her diet in order to lose weight, she can control her desires and refuse to eat delicious food for a few days (probably).

However, if he didn't drink a cup of honey drink made by Tang Han Tuolena every day, Mubai McQueen would always feel that his life had lost something important, just like fish without water, trees without soil, the West without Jerusalem, and Tang Han Tuolena taking off all his clothes...

Hmm? Why does the last example seem a bit strange?

Never mind. It’s okay to be uncomfortable anyway.

"Gurgle..." Mebai McQueen couldn't help swallowing when he thought of the delicious honey drink made by Tang Han.

Mejiro McQueen observed his surroundings vigilantly and found that he was the only one in the entire restaurant. It was a good opportunity to do something bad secretly.

Then, an idea suddenly came to her.

Mubai McQueen thought, since everyone hasn't arrived yet, and he just happened to have a cup of honey drink made by Tang Hantolai, it should be fine to secretly drink a sip to satisfy his craving.

However, doing this kind of thing is still quite dangerous. If someone suddenly jumps out from behind her, then Tang Han Tuoleina's secret request not to tell others about the honey drink will be exposed...

"Hmm..." Mebai McQueen looked around again.

"It can't be such a coincidence..."

Mebiro McQueen hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and took out the honey drink.

But just as she put the straw in her mouth and was about to start enjoying this delicious honey drink, a horse girl with long black hair, purple eyes, slender horse ears and a cold temperament suddenly popped her head out from behind her.

"McQueen, what are you drinking?"

"Poof!" Mebai McQueen was so scared that he almost spit out the honey he had just sucked up.

"Gurgle...cough cough cough...Dober?!" Mebai McQueen swallowed the honey in his mouth and looked at the pony girl in front of him in panic.

The visitor was none other than a member of the Mejiro family, her good sister, Mejiro Dobo. She had been living with female servants and horse girls since she was a child. She was a horse girl who would become very nervous when facing the gazes of many people and was particularly not good at dealing with men.

"What's wrong? Are you secretly eating something delicious again?" Mubai Dober asked curiously.

"That's not true!" Mubai McQueen shook his head guiltily and hid the honey drink behind him.

"What's that behind you?"
