I only have one year to live, so I must become a legendary horse girl!

How to describe this mentality?

Is this what is called legendary insight, or the belated and enviable good luck of one's lovely child at the Spring and Autumn Equinox?

In any case, from that time on, the old father began to pay more attention to the Gotham Carols competition and the condition of his daughter Chunqiufen.

He saw the content of the cheering for the Spring and Autumn Equinox in the Gotham Victory Carol. Although the photo in the newspaper was quite blurry, even so -!

He could also be sure of one thing, that even in the frozen moment in the photo, the eyes of Chunqiufen, who usually looked like a puppet, were shining brightly.

From a certain point in time thereafter, the behavior and activities of the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes changed completely.

She was starting to be able to travel on her own, and would even occasionally stay with the Gotham Carol... well, often.

Then, her eyes, which were originally dull and devoid of thoughts, had something else, definitely a better color.

So what level can we see now as emotions are budding?

It is a longing that no one can erase, a longing that is about to thrive and blossom.

So when the old father heard Chunqiufen say that he wanted to have such an important lifelong relationship with Gotham Carol, he was really not surprised at all.

Rather, if we can't get to this point, it will make people confused and sad -!

However, what really made the old father feel relieved?

As a busy active horse racing girl, Gotham Carol actually took the trainer qualification exam, and from the very beginning, she wrote the spring and autumn equinox as her only position.

What to say?

It always makes people happy and sad when their daughter meets a benefactor, right?

but--!

In the end, the old father definitely supported it. After all, this was the opportunity for Chunqiufen to finally have "life". It was a relationship that Chunqiufen might follow for the rest of his life, and then laugh and feel happy for it.

Before they met, the old father actually had no objection to anything the two wanted to do in the future, and after they met, he became even more certain of his own ideas.

reason?

Before he even closed his eyes, his originally silly, doll-like daughter was about to climb onto someone else.

It's a little bit, not very noticeable, but you can feel the distance is shortening. That kind of tough and determined person doesn't care about right or wrong, and will not stop doing so just to follow his ideas.

I'm afraid the only one who can make Chunqiufen stop so close is Miss Gotham's Carol?

Alas, my silly daughter, maybe this kind of relationship will blossom and bear fruit... Never mind, isn’t it good enough?

Anyway, the two of them had already agreed to a lifelong relationship.

"Especially after you two really became a relationship of responsibility, I thought, ah, so this is how it should be...?"

"However, even so, I still have something to ask you right now, Miss Gotham Carol...!"

Gotham Carol suddenly became nervous for no reason, as if she absolutely had to answer the next question in a way that would not tolerate deception.

She even poked Chunqiufen's thigh under the table, causing her husband to stop his restlessness temporarily, straighten up, and assume an extremely formal posture.

"Yes, please."

"Do you have the awareness, courage, confidence, and strength to shoulder the responsibility of my daughter's lifelong happiness and career glory?"

If this is the relationship that will eventually develop, then there can't be any retreat at this time, right?

"Yes, I do. From the moment Chunqiufen and I became responsible, I realized that I must be responsible for her life. I have always had this understanding and belief."

"Moreover, I am determined and determined to make her career glorious and her life happy."

Something felt odd. Gotham Carol actually felt like the old father in front of him wasn't asking if he was willing to become Equinox's trainer, but rather, well...

Only couples would ask this question when they meet their parents, right?

How strange.

Gotham Carol is not sure whether this is the case. After all, according to her common sense, it should be so. But what if it is a common practice in the world of Uma Musume?

How did she know that all the trainers in the Uma Musume world were like this?! She wondered if she'd be interrogated by her parents or something like that. It wasn't mentioned in the book.

It’s her first time too!

But after all, if it's the spring and autumn equinox, then as a senior trainer and the person she relies on, it's only natural to give her a happy life and a glorious career, right?

Responsibility is a lifelong relationship.

Gotham Carol always had some strange ideas for some reason. She held Equinox's hand and spoke.

"I will not leave Xiaofen's vision and future to others... I will not allow or accept such a thing."

Since this child's eyes were on me from the beginning, this should continue like this forever, right?

Na.

Chapter 152: The so-called responsibility is a lifelong relationship.

"Are you saying that Xiao Chunqiufen's father said something to you seriously that you couldn't understand why?"

"Yes, when he finally stood up and left us alone, he even bowed quite solemnly and said... From now on, my daughter's life is in your hands, Miss Gotham Carol. I have handed over my responsibilities."

Gotham Anthem thought back to everything he had heard in the Spring and Autumn Branch before, and for a moment he felt that something was strange.

Anyway, according to her common sense, it seems that only when his daughter is getting married will an old father say this to his fiancé?

But it’s strange to think about such a thing!

Gotham Carol agreed to her father's words. On the one hand, she had the awareness and courage to say that she could definitely do it. On the other hand, the trainer would indeed accompany her as a horse girl for almost her entire life.

Indeed, the relationship between the trainer and the horse girl who become responsible is so close that even if they don't end up together, they will basically maintain a close relationship like family and spend the rest of their lives in harmony.

But then again, "the few trainers and horse girls who can't get together" has already made Gotham Carol quite surprised and at a loss for how to describe it.

Because except for those who were snatched away by their nemesis, most of them became lovers with their trainers!

The chances of a trainer and a horse girl getting together are incredibly high! It's fair to say that when Gotham Carol was preparing to get her trainer license, she even came across a section in a book about how to choose your own horse girl.

Rather than being a selection guide, such content is actually a guide to blind dates!

Things like this have always been something Gotham Carol is quite curious about.

Damn it, could it be that pairing trainers and horse girls is really based on the same premise as a matchmaking agency?!

On the other end of the phone, Ruby covered her mouth and laughed softly.

She was fully aware of why Gotham Carol looked quite confused about such a thing, and even though they were on the other side of the ocean, the First Ruby could still clearly "see" what kind of expression Gotham Carol had at the moment.

With ears shaking and eyes slightly lowered, the whole face is filled with confusion and puzzlement, pouting like a cute nipple, making people want to pinch it - this is definitely the expression on Gotham Carol's face at this moment, right?

After all, what the First Ruby likes is such a clumsy and determined horse girl. Many times, it is not known whether to call her lacking common sense or dull and stupid, but she will suddenly become very reliable and full of security.

"Then Ode, have you ever considered that the old man was indeed entrusting his daughter to his lover, and that's why he said such words?"

"Ah? This, this is unlikely, right? Chunqiufen and I are trainers, and this is the first time we've met. This is weird no matter how you think about it, right?"

Anyway, this kind of thing is absolutely wrong, right?

In the world view of Gotham Carol, being able to entrust your girl to someone else's family shouldn't be something that happens overnight, right?

Let’s not talk about how many times the test will take, or other messy things. After all, Gotham Carol has never had the experience of meeting other people’s parents before, but isn’t the attitude of that old man... a little too casual?

"Carol often shows a completely lack of common sense... Let me think about how I should put it to you. In our Mamusu world, how would most other people choose?"

"In many cases, it's not so much about parents testing their partners, but rather, if a trainer and a role-player truly are inclined towards such a relationship, it happens so quickly and firmly. It's perfectly normal for them to just meet once, hand over responsibilities, and complete the normal rituals and then end it."

First Ruby said this about something that was natural for horse girls. In fact, it was like this for horse girls. The vast majority of them either chose their nemesis, or developed an emotional relationship with their trainer that went from lover to family, and then surpassed everything else. Only a small number of them, either because they had a special relationship with ordinary people in their childhood, or because of some special fate, would choose people outside the arena.

However, this is common sense for Uma Musume, and it's the same in the United States... It's even more unrestrained--!

At least it was so unrestrained that even the first Ruby of a famous family was unwilling to talk about it.

It’s really strange, why has Carol never heard of such a thing?

Is it because she hasn't had her own trainer? Ah, I really have to thank you, the three goddesses...

"No, no, no, I still find this weird. This doesn't seem right no matter how I think about it, right? Or is this just common sense for Uma Musume?"

Gotham Carol's worldview seemed to have collapsed halfway. She sat in her home in New York, then lay dejectedly on the bed, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

According to common sense, such a thing is absolutely unreasonable, but the words of the First Ruby just now pointed out the Gotham Anthem.

For us Uma Musume...!

Ah, is that right? Different worlds, different cultures, and different situations will give rise to different habits and common sense. In other words, for a former ordinary human like her, some of these sudden and unpredictable advancements might be incomprehensible...

Is this the normal emotional life of horse girls in this world?!

It's bad, it's bad. I originally thought it was just an isolated case, but after all this fuss...

It turns out that every person in this world has a diamond?!

Gotham Carol's eyes went dark, and she looked at the ceiling, not knowing how to react to her strange thoughts.

Of course, she is not a complete fool. Even if she is a little slow at times, she will not be unable to understand everything at a time like this.

It’s okay if you’re a horse girl.

This isn't good at all...! Yes, yes, hurry up and find a time machine—

The thought of escape inevitably flashed through his mind, but the next second this thought was pulled out of his mind by Gotham Carol and turned into a sudden punch!

The bed made a banging sound, but the depressed mood was probably completely vented with such behavior. Gotham Carol took a deep breath to calm himself down completely, and then thought about what he should do.

Since you have already promised Chunqiufen's father that you and Chunqiufen will be the one who brings you happiness for life, there is no way you can go back on your word just a few days after making the promise, right?

There will never be an option to regret in this life!

Although still a little uncomfortable with such a rapid development, Gotham Carol knows that it has only one choice, which is to face the past positively.

However, Gotham Carol herself didn't even notice that her ears were twitching, showing that she was in a very good mood, which is unique to horse girls.

After quickly calming down, Gotham Carol listened to the quiet sound of a cell phone on the other side, and suddenly thought of another thing related to the current situation.

Come to think of it, Ruby stopped hiding the fact that she was pursuing me a long time ago, right?

If you say something like this at this time, wouldn't that be helping... your love rival?

Gotham Carol felt a little strange. She had no idea how this would turn out, so she could only speak again after a moment of hesitation.

"Um, Ruby...?"

"Well, is there anything else you want to know, Carol?"

"I mean, I mean... before in Paris, you, that, should be a confession, right? Um... is it really okay to say such words on Chunqiufen's behalf at this time?"

"So that's the question, huh? Indeed, strictly speaking, Xiao Chunqiufen is my love rival."

First Ruby admitted it openly, so openly that even Gotham Carol was so surprised that she didn't know how to ask further questions.

"But if I don't even have the courage to face my opponent head-on, then I wouldn't be worthy of the name Ruby of Glory, right? I've always had the courage to face challenges head-on."

A gem is something that will always sparkle. If you keep it in the sun for fear of losing its brilliance, then it won't be so dazzling, right?

Even more dazzling than the brilliant gold reflected under the sun is Ruby's unique brilliance that always slowly emerges from darkness into light, always shining brightly.

"And, my beloved, if I don't tell you this common sense for us horse girls now, and you get lured away by someone else, wouldn't that be a bigger loss?"

“I…I I I I!”

"Alright, alright, anyway, Ode, what I said in Paris is all I wanted to express, but besides that, it seems necessary to add something more at this time..."

"Should I say, Carol is the most outstanding horse girl, right? At least in my heart, that's enough to call her that. So, actually, from the time I went out with you until now, I know one thing clearly."

First Ruby's tone was very soft. Although Gotham Carol didn't know what Ruby was doing on the other side, she could hear the deep emotions contained in that familiar voice.

It was a color that transcended time and space, a color that was unique to Ruby, emanating from memories and the atmosphere of their time together.

What were you doing the whole time?

She gently wrapped up the Gotham ode and then tenderly conveyed her feelings.

It’s not that intense, not that strong, not that absolute, but it’s gentle enough to make people want to indulge in it, the warmth that comes from the first ruby.

"For a horse girl like Carol, it's very difficult, or even impossible, to monopolize her. Especially since the horse girl I like is a gentle, common-sense idiot who always attracts others to her without knowing when."

"But think about it carefully. Although the initial trigger was the needs and demands of my family, it was perhaps this factor that truly made me accept this relationship and embark on the road of chasing you. You know, when I'm with Song Ge, I always feel safe."

The First Ruby's voice even had a slight briskness to it. She had always been quite composed, but now she was not suppressing her emotions at all.

She wanted to take this opportunity to reveal her whole heart... to let Carol and the one she loved know!
