Umamusume's days are numbered

platinum:"?"

Fuji Koji: "?"

At this moment, Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate no longer cared about other people's reactions; her eyes were completely fixed on Platinum's figure.

She had a slender waist that could be encircled by one hand, and exaggeratedly long legs. Although her chest was slightly thin, it was just right for a butler.

After being dressed in the jet-black butler's uniform, one can only describe it as a perfect proportion, a perfect fit for the body.

Although not particularly tall, his height is just right, complementing his not-too-robust physique. He exudes a warm, familiar feeling, like a childhood friend or butler who grew up alongside you.

The most crucial thing, the most crucial thing is—

Her snow-white neck was revealed after she tied her hair up!

Her hair and snow-white neck were so captivating, even in her jet-black butler uniform. It was as if she were beckoning people to look at her.

That alluring neck... doesn't it look just like your own cat, trustingly lying on your lap, showing you its belly?

That's absolutely fantastic!

"After getting married, because we have eleven children, we might need a very, very big house. So I don't really want to go back to Hong Kong. We'll stay in Kyoto, which is also convenient for running races."

"After we retire, we can move to Hokkaido. There are endless fields there, perfect for a ranch. Our children will surely thrive there."

"Um... wait a minute..." Bai Jin broke out in a cold sweat as he was led by the hand of the carp leaping over the dragon gate.

The carp leaping over the dragon gate has a rather frightening look in its eyes.

"Or... if you don't mind the cramped space, I can ask my dad to take us back to Hong Kong. We can continue competing in Hong Kong tournaments, and hopefully, we can break my sister's winning streak and make her run home with a long face and a crestfallen look. By then, everyone will definitely approve of our love, and we can even move to the mainland." Completely ignoring what Bai Jin was saying, Li Yuelongmen pulled his hands to his chest and moved closer to Bai Jin's face.

"Or, how about settling down in Wuhan? Wuhan is booming with horse racing right now, it's full of vitality. I'll ask my dad for some money, and the two of us can build a racetrack in Wuhan, so our children can run world-class races in Wuhan."

“That…the carp leaping over the dragon gate…” Bai Jin was sweating profusely.

"No, no, no. Please don't call me 'Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate,' just call me Ah Li. Or rather, please be sure to call me Ah Li. If you can call me Ah Li, I will be extremely grateful—"

As he strode towards platinum, his face filled with fervor, his eyes darting around like mosquito coils.

Platinum retreated several steps, but each time it leaped forward, it pressed forward relentlessly!

"Come on, call out, call out quickly, please..."

Faced with this situation... Platinum chickened out again.

Guys, she's really scared.

"Ah...ah, Ah Li...?" Bai Jin called out timidly in a low voice.

"..." Upon hearing this, Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate blinked and burst into tears. The tears flowed uncontrollably, as if a dam had been breached.

"Waaaaah, waaaaah, it really is, I have no regrets in this life..." She cried as she gripped Platinum's hand even tighter. Platinum had just tried to secretly pull her hand away.

Since you're already calling me by such an intimate name, that means our relationship... has made a leap forward, right?

"I am a woman of limited talent... I hope you will guide me for the rest of my life."

Episode 42 Don't Go Crazy Here

"I am a woman of limited talent... I hope you will guide me for the rest of my life."

Her blushing face and the rosy cheeks at her temples were as pitiful as the setting sun.

Tears streamed down her face, like shimmering pearls scattered on pink silk.

Such a beautiful scene, coupled with such touching words... a confession of love to entrust one's life to you. How could one not be moved?

Platinum wasn't interested. Not only was she not interested, she was terrified.

Like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, it looked like it wanted to devour people. Bai Jin suspected that if he continued like this, she would tie him up and throw him into the basement.

Help! President, help me!

In the kitchen, Rudolph symbolically twitched his ears and sneezed.

"What's wrong, President?" Seeing Rudolf's symbol sneeze, the gas tank looked up and asked.

"Hmm, it's nothing." Rudolf lowered his head again, listening to the still noisy voice from the front desk.

"Don't go crazy here—" Separating the carp leaping over the dragon gate from the platinum was none other than Fuji Koji.

She grabbed Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate by the collar with one hand and Platinum by the collar with the other, and forcefully separated the two of them with a loud "pop".

"Layman, what are you doing? Why are you hindering my pursuit of happiness—" The carp leaping over the dragon gate reached out and scratched at the air.

"What kind of happiness are you pursuing? I think you're just infatuated," Fuji Koji said irritably, pulling the carp leaping over the dragon gate backward.

Bai Jin watched the carp leaping over the dragon gate with lingering fear, feeling a cold sweat trickling down his back.

This is a true carnivore, a carp leaping over the dragon gate. You look so refined and gentle, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but you're actually so wild inside?

This is a stark contrast to her appearance.

"No way, I'm sure of it, Platinum is definitely my darling—"

"Just because I change my clothes, does that make me your darling?" Fuji Koji retorted bluntly. "I change my clothes in front of you every day, and I've never seen you react this strongly."

"What's so attractive about your terrible figure?"

Blue veins appeared on Fuji Koji's forehead.

Huh? You dare say that about your roommate?

So, you mean your roommate with whom you've lived for over a year?

Now the truth has finally come out, and he's finally said what was on his mind, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate?

I can't take it anymore!

She raised her fist and gave the boy leaping over the dragon gate a sharp rap on the head.

The carp leaping over the dragon gate felt dizzy; it took two steps back and sat down in a chair, its head tilting back before it breathed its last. Fuji Koji stood panting in the café. Shirogane, her hands numb from being gripped, stood helplessly by.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?" Rudolf Symbol, noticing something was off in the café, ran to the front and saw the scene before him.

Rudolf stared at Fuji Koji in shock, thinking to himself, "This guy is possessed by the King of Fighters, taking down his opponents with one punch each."

It wasn't that Rudolph's symbolism was flawed; the situation in the front hall was utterly chaotic. The carp leaping over the dragon gate was sprawled on a chair, slumped over the table, a large bump on its head; Platinum stood in a corner, waving its hands in shock, its ears pressed tightly to its head—clearly terrified.

Meanwhile, the war god Fuji Koji stood in the very center, his fists clenched, veins bulging on his forehead, and deep in breath. He looked every bit the instigator of the incident.

?

"Waaah... I'm sorry." Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate rubbed its eyes and sat down in a chair, with a large sign hanging around its neck with several words written in marker on it.

I'm a fangirl

"How about it, have you calmed down yet?" Fuji Koji looked at the carp leaping over the dragon gate with annoyance.

"Waaaah... I'm reflecting on my actions." Li Yuelongmen couldn't help but shed tears. "I shouldn't have progressed so quickly. We should at least have had a cup of coffee together before committing to a lifelong relationship—"

Fuji Koji then smacked the carp leaping over the dragon gate on the head again: "You haven't reflected on your actions at all!"

"Waaaaah... I was just joking..." Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate pouted pitifully.

"Alright, A-Li has promised she won't do anything so outrageous again." Turning to Bai Jin, Fuji Koji patted his chest.

“Look, she’s made that promise.” Rudolf symbolically patted Platinum’s shoulder, who was hiding behind him.

"If guarantees were effective, no one would have been arrested by the police." Bai Jin rubbed his shoulders, looking at Li Yuelongmen with a complicated expression, unsure of how to face her.

"Oh, that expression is great too..." Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate stares at Platinum again.

"You're drooling." Fuji Koji glanced coldly at the carp leaping over the dragon gate from the side.

"No way!" Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate quickly denied, wiping his mouth with his arm. "Isn't it true?"

"You have to wipe yourself to make sure you didn't drool, and you still say you didn't have a crush on someone?"

"Because, because..." With a large sign around his neck, Li Yuelongmen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "This platinum look is really, really cool!"

"It makes my heart flutter!"

"And that just proves your charm, doesn't it?" With a helpless smile, Rudolf turned to look at Platinum. "I'm sure you'll be one of the main characters here today."

"If all the guests who come are like Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate, I'd better just go back to my dorm and stay here today." Just thinking about a bunch of Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate surrounding her and shouting for her to get married makes Platinum feel a little overwhelmed.

It's not that the carp leaping over the dragon gate isn't beautiful; rather, Platinum seems to enjoy being fawned over by pretty girls.

The carp leaping over the dragon gate... really does resemble a female leopard hunting its prey. Platinum doesn't feel like she's being pursued; she only feels like she's the other person's lunch.

Upon hearing Bai Jin's words, the carp leaping over the dragon gate let out a mournful cry.

If I were to lose sight of the platinum butler uniform because of my impatience, I would be utterly deserving of death.

"Since that's the case, let me atone for my sins by committing suicide..."

"No, that doesn't sound like something someone like you would say," Fuji Koji said, pursing his lips. "You're quite good at localizing your image."

"Sigh..." Platinum scratched his head and sighed, "Anyway, I'll just take this as a slightly excessive joke."

"Next time, please don't suddenly get close to me and touch me."

Platinum doesn't hate being touched... well, she does hate it, but she's not that resistant to it either.

It's mainly a matter of soul dissolution. As long as this thing is still inside you, you have to maintain a proper distance from others.

"I did such a terrible thing and you're still willing to forgive me, waaaaah, you're practically a god..." While sobbing, Li Yuelongmen picked up a marker and started writing on the board in front of her chest.

I'm a fangirl

Still the number one fan of Platinum.

"Hey, that's enough." Fuji Koji said from the side, seemingly at a loss for words.

Episode 43 Reflections on the Venus de Milo

During major annual events, Aili Digital is always present throughout the college.

She doesn't participate in all sorts of activities; rather, she rarely participates in serious activities—though she does participate in quite a few unserious ones.

Just kidding. Every time there's an event like this... it's the time for the young ponytails in the college to sweat it out and celebrate the beauty of life and youth. Someone like me would melt in the sun... so I'd better not bother the others.

For Aili Digital, being able to record the moments when their friendship was born, sprouted, and bore fruit is the greatest blessing.

Think about it! While it's nice how roommates and classmates gradually grow closer through daily interactions, the sudden and rapid developments at the festival are also incredibly exciting.

Yes, that's what festivals are all about—they quickly warm up the bonds between good friends, foster new friendships, and add new plot twists!

In other words, this is the best time to collect CGs. Once you miss it, you'll never have another chance. It's a one-time event that will never be repeated!

Aili Digital is fully prepared today.

Holding up binoculars to spy on the Butler's Café from afar, Miss Alice wiped her mouth.

Look, a new skin has been unlocked.

It's a student council deacon uniform that you don't usually see!

The aura swivel already had a cold and aloof look, which really suited the butler's uniform... Even without changing her hairstyle, her original face was already quite androgynous. Now, she has an even more mysterious, androgynous quality.

The occasional smiles on his face, like those of an iceberg floating in the Arctic Ocean, were a perfect finishing touch. If he were simply unsmiling, it would be too serious and arrogant; after all, he was wearing a butler's uniform, so he should be more gentle.

Even the slightest smile perfectly neutralized his arrogance, instantly transforming his persona into that of "a loyal butler who, despite his cold demeanor, secretly cares for you," a huge plus that made him practically flawless!

Aili Digital gives it a high score of 80!

Moving the binoculars slightly, another tall figure came into view at Aili Digital.

Take a slight step, straighten your chest, and open your arms.

Her fiery red hair danced in the air. The crown atop her head shone brightly.

"Ha, ha, ha! As the strongest and most beautiful symbol, as the [Overlord] opera, even as a butler, I will be the most outstanding one! Don't you agree, Great Tree Express?"

"Thank you... I am Fuji Koji, not Big Tree Express."

"Haha, you're right, Big Tree Express! I sincerely appreciate your praise. I never imagined my brilliance would be so dazzling, even making you feel ashamed and forced to hide your identity. I'm truly sorry. But [Overlord] is just that kind of existence!"

"No, listen to me, who is the Big Tree Express?"
