Uma Musume, Master of Love

Huiyi emerged from the bushes downstairs, shook off the branches and leaves, and left the Golden Courtyard through the main gate. The night view was also beautiful, Huiyi thought to himself, took a picture, and tossed it onto the horse cart.

Perhaps strolling until sunrise would be a good option?

Chapter 248 A Heart-to-Heart Talk, But Face-to-Face with the Nemesis!

Huiyi strolled from dawn until sunrise, only setting off on his journey back to Kyoto Racecourse when the first bus started running. Of course, this wasn't because Huiyi had the refined taste to want to admire the scenery along the way...

Instead, her phone battery had been low since she woke up yesterday, and it used up some more when she returned to the racetrack for the first time. Then, she was taken to the hospital by Zhou Ri Ning Jing and Xiao Li Mao.

There wasn't even a chance to charge her phone! That night at the Golden House, in order to be on the same page as Golden Journey during negotiations, she even used her phone's remaining battery to have AI summarize the current situation of the Golden House for her. Now her phone battery is completely depleted.

If it weren't for the few coins in his pocket, Huiyi probably wouldn't have even had the chance to take the bus back to Kyoto Racecourse. After all, the bus company doesn't care if you're a big star or not; you have to pay the fare as soon as you get on the bus!

Although some kind-hearted people might try to help Huiyi out of this predicament, it's still too embarrassing! He just won the Qiuhua Award and became an undefeated triple crown, and then he didn't have money to take the bus. This incident will probably go viral on the entire Japanese internet in less than an hour.

There were very few people on the early morning bus. Huiyi sat by the window, yawning. It was quite a challenge for her still somewhat immature brain to have spent the whole night out witting Old Gold.

Therefore, it's impossible to stay awake solely through willpower...

She fell asleep in her seat before the bus even left the World War I area.

He wasn't woken up until they reached the last stop of the bus. His brain was still foggy, and he stood at the station with a bewildered and stupid expression. Huiyi reached out and pinched his face, the pain even reaching his brain a little late.

"Where am I...? How long have I been asleep?"

There were no other passengers waiting for the bus at this station, so Huiyi didn't know how long he had been waiting. Finally, a girl who looked like a college student appeared to be waiting for him.

As everyone knows, naive and innocent college students are the easiest to be deceived... Ah, she was asking for help, because Huiyi was facing away from her at first, so the college student didn't notice the white-haired shadow.

When Huiyi turned around, he saw her wearing headphones. He stood on tiptoe and reached out to pat her shoulder. She was obviously startled by the sudden contact. She turned her head and only saw a pair of gray ear tips swaying back and forth. She had to look down to see the owner of the ears.

"?" The college student couldn't believe his eyes. He first took off his glasses and wiped the lenses, then rubbed his eyes, and finally confirmed that the woman in front of him was indeed his idol.

So the next moment she took off her headphones, her hands trembling with excitement, and she couldn't even form coherent sentences because of her excitement.

"Then, then, is that Miss Huiyi you're cosplaying?!"

"..."

Well, what a stupid college student. His first reaction wasn't that the real person was here, but that it was a high-quality cosplay. Huiyi suddenly felt like laughing.

"I am Huiyi myself. As for why I am in this station, it is really a bit unexpected..." Huiyi sighed softly. Actually, he was a little embarrassed to say the reason: "My phone was out of battery, and I used the only coin I had to pay for the fare. I overslept and could only wait here for someone destined to help me. Now it seems that the three goddesses have brought us together."

"Miss Huiyi, if you don't mind, please use my power bank! You can also use your phone or something! Anyway, could we... could we take a picture together and get an autograph?" The female student hurriedly took out her power bank from her handbag, and after watching Huiyi connect the power bank and turn it on to call Beiyuan to provide her location, she looked at her expectantly.

After all, the pinnacle of being a fan is taking a photo with your idol and getting their autograph!

Huiyi naturally wanted to fulfill her little fan's wish. After all, she was alone and waiting was quite boring, so she couldn't just use someone else's power bank for free.

So Huiyi took more than ten photos with this college student, and finally signed his name on her handbag and textbooks. She reluctantly said goodbye to Huiyi when the bus she was waiting for arrived at the station.

After all, there may never be another contact like this in this lifetime.

In those few minutes, Huiyi's phone had also charged ten bars. Looking at the remaining battery, she was a little curious about what brand of data cable the girl was using, since it was so efficient. She even thought about getting a new set.

Huiyi continued to lean against the bench at the station like a dead person. She waited for a long time before Kitahara finally came. However, as soon as she got on the train, Kitahara scolded her.

"What have you been doing all day? Did you really think the Golden House was as safe as the Mejiro House? And you didn't even go back to your place! If something really happens to you, not to mention whether Satomi Osamu will kill me, I'll feel so guilty that I'll want to ride a flying horse!" Kitahara kept poking Huiyi's forehead with his hand, getting harder and harder, and Huiyi kept dodging in pain.

In short, Kitahara was really angry this time, so Huiyi didn't argue. After being nagged by Kitahara the whole way, Huiyi finally got off the bus and disappeared without a trace.

"Sigh, when will this child grow up... Is it really okay for Mr. Satomi Osamu to let his child grow up so freely?"

"I'm back! Come and face your doom on Sunday, Ning Jing!"

The first thing Huiyi did upon returning to the racetrack office was to settle the score he hadn't finished yesterday. Little Chestnut Hat was innocent; she had simply been tricked by the evil American mob godfather! So, the only one at fault in this whole affair was Zhou Ri Ningjing!

But the next moment, Huiyi's forehead was propped up by Zhou Rining's hand, who took advantage of her height. She rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "Are you going to rest for a while, or are you going to the training ground with Da Zhenhan?"

"Huh? Why do I have to go too? I've already finished the competition."

"Da Zhenhan wanted to run with you to maintain her condition. Of course, she just mentioned it casually because you just finished the Autumn Blossom Festival." But Zhou Ri Ningjing seemed to want Huiyi to know this, but even if Huiyi knew, he wouldn't go directly to the training ground. She wanted to get a good night's sleep as a reward for successfully negotiating the contract with the Golden Family!

Meanwhile, at the training ground...

Shang Dongying sat on the grass, staring unabashedly at the shadow that shocked her so much—a shadow she could never surpass in her lifetime, a shadow that she, Shang Dongying, could only live under for the rest of her life…

From childhood, many people told her that she was excellent and could become a great horse girl. She believed it and worked hard to always be the most outstanding horse girl among her peers. This pride lasted until she arrived at Central Teresa, until she saw a racehorse girl called "Great Shock," which shattered her pride.

From the start of the Yayoi Sho tournament to the end of the News Cup, she lost all three matches against Daijin. Moreover, the gap between them kept widening. Sho Toyo couldn't figure out how she could possibly beat Daijin.

"Perhaps this is the best I can do. Winning against the Great Shock is just a pipe dream." Since the derby defeat, Shang Dongying hasn't hugged a pillow in a long time. She's been having trouble sleeping almost every night, so how could she be in the mood to share a bed with a pillow?

The trainer had been troubled for a long time. He had tried countless methods to rebuild Shang Dongying's self-confidence, but all to no avail. Shang Dongying seemed to be in a state of self-abandonment; if he didn't have the will to redeem himself, then all his efforts would be in vain. II Suspected Shaanxi Wuqijiu (VI) 3 Tuan

But... the trainer felt that there was still someone who could save Shang Dongying in the end. The hope was slim, but he still had to try. So he asked Kitahara for Yi Lingyingqi Temple (5) IXI=V Jiu^ Huiyi's contact information and told her that he wanted to borrow Dyna.

Kitahara readily agreed, since it was a mutual favor; it all depended on whether Huiyi would agree.

But when the trainer turned around, Shang Dongying left his spot and started running laps around the training field, following in Da Zhenhan's footsteps. His behavior was good... but he always felt that Shang Dongying's mentality was very bad.

With her in excellent form and the final warm-up test being one of the best results in the past, Fumino Naze is full of confidence. As the most popular player and in even better form than before the derby, it's really hard to imagine how she could lose!

This will be the most glorious moment in Naze Fumino's trainer career. Training a racehorse girl who can win any one of the classic Triple Crowns is enough to make a trainer proud for a lifetime. And she will become the second trainer after Rudolf T to achieve an undefeated Triple Crown!

"I hope... everything goes well." These were Naze Fumino's last thoughts before the Chrysanthemum Appreciation.

patter

Just as she was deeply shocked, the sound of grass being crushed came from beside her again. Shang Dongying exhaled air past her, and the sound of her inhaling was extremely harsh, completely unlike the reaction that would occur after normal training...

"Enjoying the Eastern Seas...?" Da Zhen was shocked to see her running with a slightly unsteady posture. She was supposed to arrive in Kyoto many days earlier for the Eastern Seas event. Was she pushing herself to the limit with this level of training every day? What were the benefits?

Moreover, she must have been hiding this from her trainer! Da Zhenhan had previously been in contact with the trainer from Shang Dongying, and the trainer was a very good person who would never force Shang Dongying to undergo overtraining!

Shang Dongying herself didn't know how many laps she had run, but she felt her heart and lungs were protesting against her. She had jogged to her physical limit, and the burning sensation in her lungs was strangely familiar. This reminded Shang Dongying of Yayoi Sho a few months ago, the closest she had ever come to overcoming the Great Shock.

After crossing the finish line, she felt the same way she does now: her lungs were burning with pain, and she even felt like vomiting.

"Hoo... Running really does clear your mind... makes you feel happier." Shang Dongying wasn't stupid enough to run herself to exhaustion. She sat back down on the grass, gulped down the sports drink in two gulps, then crushed it and tossed it into the trash can.

"I feel like you've been acting a little strange lately, Shang Dongying?" Da Zhenhan was quite meticulous, and when he came over, he also grabbed a drink and placed it in front of Shang Dongying. The other party's mood, which he had just managed to compose, instantly collapsed again.

Shang Dongying admitted that he was jealous of Deep and a little envious of the other party's strength! So what? That's a normal reaction, right?

So she wiggled her hips and turned her body slightly: "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about how to beat you down at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation."

"Huh? So...so that's how it is..." She was stunned and shocked. Could it be that she was really mistaken?

"After all, a horse girl like you who only knows how to blindly leave behind and then use all her strength is not on the same level as a horse girl like me who runs away first and has to consider things!" Shang Dongying said this with his arms crossed, and intentionally or unintentionally showed his pride in defeating the Great Shock here.

After blinking in shock, I suddenly realized that appreciating Japan didn't seem to require any comforting; my mental state seemed quite normal...

“But…” Shang Dongying’s lips opened, but then closed again.

"Never mind... It's nothing. I just want you to give it your all in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation, because only in this way can you prove my strength!" When Shou Dongying stood up, he almost fainted and fell forward. He thought to himself that he shouldn't try to look cool next time and hurriedly stood up.

Racehorse girls are such amazing creatures. Even if they're extremely uncomfortable facing their rivals, they'll still throw out some tough words first, always trying to project an imposing aura! Then, before the opponent can react, they coolly leave the scene, leaving the opponent with nowhere to vent their anger, witnessing the first truly shocking sight in Japan. Afterwards, it still feels quite thrilling...

"What did Shang Dongying say to you?"

"It was just mutual encouragement before the match," Dae-jin replied to Fumino Naze, finishing the drink he had originally intended to give to Tō-yō.

The two horse girls met again at the Hanshin Racecourse restaurant for dinner, and what shocked me was that Huiyi and Shang Dongying were sitting side by side, chatting and laughing, carrying their trays, facing each other... sitting together! Together!

Huiyi returned from the Huang family's house today, and Da Shenyang hadn't even seen her for the first time! Turns out she had dinner with Shang Dongying...?!

The shock was so great that I suddenly felt something inside me shatter—it was reason!

So without hesitation, she took the plate and sat down next to the two of them, openly and honestly. Then she buried her head in her food, seemingly not caring what the two were talking about.

"?" Huiyi roughly understood why Da Zhenhan had come, but she had already sent Da Zhenhan a message on Twitter, right? It couldn't be that she hadn't checked her phone for so long, could it?

When admiring the scenery of the Japanese, they would simply breathe on it, almost breaking their ears!

Because Huiyi was sharing with her a shocking story about her embarrassing past since enrolling in Treisen. She had just heard that she was afraid of the dark and ended up smashing her head against the closet door, and then the real culprit showed up!

Huiyi was now caught in the middle, unable to move forward or backward. She looked up at the ceiling and finally came up with a brilliant solution. So she raised her hand and rubbed her head, which was buried in the shocking food.

Then he got up and pulled her to his original seat, making Da Zhenhan and Shang Dongying look at each other.

"The trainer originally just wanted me to have a casual chat with Shang Dongying to clear my head, but I think it would be more effective for two opponents to talk. Why don't we give it a try?"

The silence lasted for two seconds, then the two of them simultaneously turned their heads and hummed.

"Who wants to chat with this annoying chestnut/deer fur!"

Well, since they're just two kids throwing a tantrum, they're even easier to handle!

The Cuckoo Bird department has to start working at 5:40 AM every Thursday and Friday for the sports meet...

Therefore, the Cuckoo Bird won't be able to confirm the update time for those two days...

Please forgive me.

Waaah, Sima's event! [Cuckoo bird swearing]

Chapter 249 I'm great too, right?

Huiyi is currently racking his brains trying to understand why the relationship between the two of them has suddenly become so bad, and Chestnut Hairy seems to be even worse, showing a great shocking expression.

Originally, the trainer asked me to help guide the tourists in visiting Japan, but it turned into calming down two angry, sulking kids because of the shocking intrusion. That's really a headache... After all, it's hard to reconcile two people who are arguing because of their competitive spirit.

But they still had to try, so Huiyi held out her hands to block their eyes: "I want you to have a heart-to-heart talk, not to shut each other up! What kind of friends are you? You're not going to ruin your precious friendship because of the chrysanthemum appreciation, are you?"

“No way…” Da Zhen is the kind of person who is most easily swayed in interpersonal relationships, and you could say she is a fence-sitter. But when Huiyi says anything reasonable, she always agrees with him involuntarily, which is also the easiest way to break through.

However, part of the reason was that the change in her relationship with Shang Dongying was not due to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation itself, but rather because Shang Dongying's sudden change made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After hearing Huiyi's words, Shang Dongying shoveled a few more mouthfuls of rice into his mouth and replied, "I just told her that I would definitely win the Chrysanthemum Slam this time. I hope no horse girl would really take these pre-race declarations too seriously, or are you saying that you don't actually have the strength to win the Chrysanthemum Slam, and that you won the first two championships by relying on your early-maturing last leg and then running wildly without thinking? That would really make you a weakling."

"You! You're the real trash! Do you believe I can crush you without you having a chance to fight back at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Festival?!"

"Then I look forward to you doing it! If you just talk the talk but don't walk the walk, I'll laugh at you right after the competition!"

The tension between the two was palpable again. Huiyi rolled her eyes, feeling a bit tired. Actually, this relationship was alright... It should be fine after the Chrysanthemum Appreciation. In just this short while, Huiyi understood the reason. She wanted to win too much from the Appreciation of the East. Her competitive spirit drove her to put in enough effort on this most important stage of her life, and she couldn't accept that Da Shen had won the competition so easily.

"In the end, it's just two kids making a bet... Why should I agree to his request! You two play! I'm just a part of your play!" Huiyi suddenly shouted, then moved his plate away from the two of them and silently ate the rest of his dinner by himself.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment at this unexpected turn of events.

"Did you make Huiyi angry?" Da Zhenhuan blinked, conveying this information.

Shang Dongying clenched her fist and pressed it against the table, then tucked her ear in and said, "You're the one who made her angry! Think about whether you gave Huiyi the same amount of attention? Bah! You're the most pathetic woman I've ever seen!"

"You're looking for a fight!"

"Then let's fight. Let's see who you, at your height of 1.5 meters, can beat! Or do you have a problem with my height of 1.63 meters?"

The two horse girls started playfully fighting each other, like cats throwing punches; perhaps "flirting" would be a more accurate word than "fighting"...

Of course, if things continue to develop this way, this relationship chain will not change until at least after the Chrysanthemum Festival.

But... the next day, someone no one expected came to the Kyoto Racecourse, breaking this delicate balance and causing a slight change in the relationship between the two.

The special training that Shinsengumi has been calling for has continued on and off until now. There are only a few days left until the Emperor's Sho Autumn. She can finally get a vacation from the trainer and come to Kyoto Racecourse to see them... The day of the Autumn Sho also happens to be the day Shinsengumi is going to participate in the simulation race. She is a little annoyed that she missed the live broadcast, but thinking about it on the bright side... she can see the Grand Shock and the Sho East Japan race showdown with her own eyes.

"Training ground...training ground...ah, it's over there." Zhenxin Hun had changed into his training clothes in the locker room before coming here. After all, you can't just relax when you're with friends. You have to run a few steps to maintain your condition. But when he got to the training ground, Zhenxin Hun felt like he had misjudged something.

The only one jogging was Huiyi, while Shang Dongying and Da Zhenhan, who should have been maintaining their training, were sitting on the lawn facing each other, staring at each other, almost giving the impression of using their aura to intimidate one another...

So I sincerely urge you to ignore those two horse girls who are having a cold war, and easily jog to Huiyi's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Huh? Sister Calling, why didn't you say you were coming today?" Huiyi caught a glimpse of this senior she hadn't seen for a few days out of the corner of her eye and was somewhat surprised. After all, Huiyi had gone from calling her "senior" to "sister" in her heart.

After all, it's quite rare for a horse girl to repeat a grade. Huiyi has never asked how a horse girl from the Year of the Horse could manage to repeat a grade in the Classic Year class. In short, she just doesn't fit in.

After feeling far enough away from them, Zhenxin asked, "I wanted to come during the Autumn Flower Appreciation, but I was forced to stay away during the training match. Now I'm more curious about what happened to those two?"

"He's started sulking because of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition. He's acting like a child. Now all he can do is talk about winning and how he wants to win." Huiyi shook his head with his hands slightly spread as he ran.

The two jogged and chatted, and before they knew it, they had completed a lap and passed by the Great Shock and the Eastern View again. Suddenly, they felt something was wrong, and they both withdrew their momentum and looked at the two figures behind them.

Shang Dongying: "Don't you want to do something in return?"

A profound shock: "What can I say?"

In this standoff, the one who genuinely appeals has likely emerged as the biggest winner.

Huiyi was actually a little mistaken. The fact that Shang Dongying and Da Zhenhan were sitting there putting pressure on each other was effective; those were racehorse girls who had both figured out how to stop each other's racing style. Perhaps their stopping techniques would affect other racehorse girls with similar racing styles, but…

Sorry! If you choose to run the same route as my arch-enemy, don't blame me for being ruthless...! This was one of the few shared thoughts in their minds.

As for the rest... let's wait until the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition to find out!

I'll just smash their head in no time!

At least, that's what they both thought.
