Uma Musume, Master of Love

Huiyi had actually considered avoiding the performance because she's tone-deaf and excels at singing, dancing, and rapping. If she were to actually perform, she'd probably only be able to demonstrate how to argue with haters online. But then she thought…

In her spare time, Huiyi carefully read the URA's requirements for the winner's stage. There were no regulations that mandated that the winning horse girls must perform music and dance. The only provisions regarding the performance were that it be reasonable, legal, not immoral, and allowed the winner to choose.

But for a long time, the only form that has appeared on the winner's stage is the concert style of music and dance. Perhaps only this style can be suitable for a stage with thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

"Hmm... I'd like to confirm, are there any rules in the winner's stage that require a performance in the form of a concert?" Huiyi asked, taking a sip of the warm ginger and sugar water provided by the racetrack.

The staff member replied, "Yes, but based on past experience... no other forms have occurred."

"That makes things easier! Just prepare according to my instructions. After all, this is my only strength." Hearing this answer, Huiyi smiled with relief. Now she had no worries about facing the winner's stage!

A stage with many people will naturally have female dancers to accompany the winner, but they were all taken aback when Huiyi appeared in front of them after taking a bath and changing into her stage clothes.

Because Huiyi wasn't wearing the almost-usual stage costume, but rather a white apron and a tall white chef's hat.

"Huiyi, are you... going to go on stage in this outfit...?" Alice asked the soul-searching question on behalf of the other racehorse girls, but unexpectedly, Huiyi asked back as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"You're going to go on stage dressed like this? You know, this time I've chosen an unprecedented stage performance, a stage that will bring something truly useful!" Huiyi adjusted her slightly droopy hat. She should have asked the costume designer for a lower-set hat; her ears wouldn't stay up...

Alice Jedi and the other horse girls exchanged glances, but were ultimately captivated by the radiance emanating from Radiant. They all changed into outfits that clearly identified them as cooks. Radiant inspected them and nodded in satisfaction. Before going on stage, she asked one last question: "Can you all cook?"

"Um... does cold carrot salad count?"

Huiyi directly rejected the woman's question: "If that doesn't count, then I'll assume you're all kitchen idiots! I'll teach you step by step."

In the audience, Shining Radiance looked at the stage, which was completely covered by the curtain, and said that she had never seen such an opening before. Oguri Hat, on the other hand, sat quietly to the side. But according to Kitahara, she hadn't eaten much since morning, so she was in a dormant state with reduced activity.

"Trainer, so what kind of performance does Huiyi want to do...? I remember she skipped all the stage practice you arranged, right?" After the new Radiant turned off her phone, everything was pitch black. The audience had all entered and were whispering among themselves at the unresponsive main stage.

Kitahara shook her head; she probably knew less about Huiyi than Oguri Hat did: "I don't know. As long as she doesn't run away, that's better than anything. But thankfully, this is a short-distance debut competition; compared to the UK/China debut, there won't be too many people coming to watch the performance..."

Pingxin Er Ejiu (7) Liujiu 13 (8) Liulun Beiyuan did not have any confidence in Huiyi's music and dance...

But then Little Chestnut Hat suddenly opened her eyes and said confidently, "Trust Cuckoo Bird. She always does something amazing when we think she's run out of ideas." This was a conclusion she had drawn from watching so many live streams, and it had never failed her.

"Then let's believe it..."

Click~

Suddenly, a beam of light shone on the stage, illuminating that equally white shadow.

"Ah (two) Yin 3 Wu Liushan Eryue* Yi? What kind of outfit is this?"

"Isn't the winner's stage for concerts? This...this is for cooking, isn't it?"

Huiyi, dressed as a chef, appeared before thousands of audience members, sparking considerable discussion. Her voice then carried through the speakers to every corner: "A novel outfit for the winner's stage, isn't it? In the past, the stage was only for temporary visual enjoyment, so this time I want to teach the audience something practical!"

Making a gentlemanly gesture, the scene that unfolded after the curtain slowly rose left all the audience speechless—the other racehorse girls on stage were all dressed exactly like Huiyi, and each of them had a set of kitchen utensils in front of them.

"Is Huiyi running a crash course in cooking? Is this how you cook?" At this moment, Beiyuan felt that it was probably a better thing for Huiyi to escape the winner's stage...

"Whoa whoa!" Little Chestnut Hat, who was just half asleep in his seat, suddenly leaned out and started waving his glow stick.

"As you can see, I'm going to teach you how to make a delicious snack. The ingredients are very simple, and you can try it when you get home tonight." When Huiyi entered "business mode," she exuded the kindness of a teacher, which was completely at odds with her petite appearance.

"This snack is delicious and easy to make, and it's called... chive boxes."

I'm hungry, meow.

Chapter 38, Thirty-Eighth Palm: Chive Dumplings, Hao Chi

"Chives...chive dumplings? Huh?"

His words stunned everyone, and the person in charge in the control room was sweating profusely, calling the stage manager: "Boss! Is this really okay? We've never done anything like this before..."

"Cough... You have to trust these women. I think this little girl is quite confident, she'll be fine. You, the director, should try to focus the camera on her, everything will be alright." The stage manager was also very troubled, but all he could do now was to trust her.

The focus shifts to the stage... which should probably be called the kitchen right now. Although Huiyi hasn't cooked in the kitchen for over ten years since he transmigrated, the chef's nature ingrained in his soul hasn't disappeared.

Heat oil in a cold pan. Meanwhile, chop the filling and beat the eggs. Sprinkle with a little salt, pour the egg mixture into the hot oil, stir-fry into small pieces, remove and set aside.

"Scrambling eggs is very simple, you don't need to observe too much, just make sure they're golden brown. Then mix the chives and eggs together." Huiyi's movements were very skillful, leaving the Satomi couple in the audience stunned.

After all, more than ten years have passed since they found Huiyi, and they have never seen him enter the kitchen even once...

"So...! Sister Huiyi can cook too!" Beibu Xuanju tugged at her friend's sleeve, her eyes shining. Because she was sitting in the first row, the aroma of scrambled eggs filled her nostrils.

Satomi Hikari calmly pulled back her sleeve and replied, "Um... there's nothing that Huiyi-neechan can't do! It's just that you haven't seen enough of Huiyi-neechan, Kobei!"

Upon hearing this, Satomi Crown turned her head and looked at Satomi Diamond with surprise, her eyes clearly asking: Diamond, have you really seen Hikari cook in the kitchen all these years?

"Waaah! Little Diamond is bullying me. Sister Huiyi is from your family, so you must have seen more of her!" Beibu Xuanju was very indignant but could not refute it, so he could only worry to himself.

Knead the dough, fill it with the filling, and then place it in a frying pan to fry. Huiyi even flipped the pan once. The chive boxes gradually turned golden brown, and finally the heat was turned off and they were taken out of the pan.

"These are the steps to make this snack. It's very simple, isn't it?" Huiyi placed the chive boxes on a plate, then her gaze swept across the audience, looking for a lucky person to try it. Her eyes then settled on Xiao Limao.

After all, you could already see her constantly swallowing her saliva, and it wasn't good to keep the child hungry, so Huiyi shouted loudly, "Next... please welcome Senior Little Chestnut Hat to the stage for a taste test!"

After saying that, Huiyi turned off her headset and said to the other female performers, "You guys try to do a few too. We can't just do one performance, can we? We'll invite a few audience members up on stage to interact with you later."

"Huh? Oh... I'll try. Turn on the heat, heat the pan, and chop the filling..."

Although the women had just watched the process, they were still extremely confused when they tried to do it themselves. They put oil in a hot pan instead of a cold pan, and then directly put the eggs in.

There were even cases where people cracked eggs into a bowl without scrambling them or adding salt, then turned around and went to do other things before simply pouring the eggs into a pan and frying them into tasteless fried eggs.

Upon hearing about the food tasting, Oguri Hat immediately unleashed his sprinting speed from Kasamatsu and appeared on stage.

"Hmm, want to try some? It'll be delicious." Huiyi raised an eyebrow at Xiao Limao, his tone full of confidence, and handed her the plate.

Oguri Hat's nose had already caught the aroma of the food. Although she didn't seem to see this kind of cooking method very often in Japan, the aroma wouldn't lie to her!

After putting on plastic gloves, I picked up the box and took a bite, and Little Chestnut Hat's eyes lit up.

"Delicious—!" This praise came from Xiao Li Mao, a big eater who has tasted countless delicacies. So without a doubt, this snack called chive boxes has indeed been recognized.

In just two bites, Xiao Li Mao finished the box that was the size of Hui Yi's face. She looked at Hui Yi expectantly, her eyes clearly revealing that she wanted to eat another one.

"As long as it tastes good~" Huiyi was very happy to receive praise for her cooking skills after a long time. She turned around and started cooking again with great enthusiasm, managing three frying pans by herself, her figure extremely beautiful.

However, the other female horse girls didn't have such a smooth run. They either burned the pot or put in too much seasoning, turning the stage into a chaotic kitchen. But the unexpected performance also earned them bursts of laughter from the audience.

"Teacher Huiyi—! Help!"

"Ouch!! The eggs are burnt!"

"Wait... was that candy just now?!"

The horse girls were in a flurry of activity, and it wasn't until Huiyi finished the second round of products that Ai Li Jedi managed to produce a dark gold finished product.

Alice Jedi said uncertainly, "So... I guess it can be considered a success?"

"Hmm? Let me try it..." Huiyi broke off a piece with the filling and put it in her mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it with a reluctant expression.

How to rate it… While there was a slightly burnt, bitter taste as expected, but… Alice definitely didn’t add any seasoning! The whole box only had the spiciness of chives and a slight eggy smell. After considering it for a moment, Huiyi said tactfully, “Overall, it’s not bad… but remember to add seasoning next time… just a little salt will do…”

"Ah!! I forgot to add the seasoning!"

Another burst of laughter erupted from the audience. Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Huiyi moved on to the next stage: "So...! Next! I'll select some audience members to come up on stage and try it out for themselves!"

"Whoosh! I want to go! I want to go!" Beibu Xuanju stood up abruptly, waving his hands. He was quite eye-catching in the first row. Huiyi chuckled and reached out to Beibu Xuanju: "Alright, then this little friend can come up, and... the two next to you too."

"Huh? Huh? Me?" Satomi Hikari and Satomi Tsubasa felt like they'd been caught in an undeserved disaster. After all, it was Kita Genko who wanted to go up, but they ended up being taken up with him?!

Ten audience members were invited at once, and Huiyi taught them step by step. Almost all of them had problems, big and small, but one girl perfectly replicated Huiyi's technique and made a golden finished product.

"Did you often cook at home before?" Huiyi asked.

"My hometown is in the East, you know~ I came to Japan to study and I didn't expect to see the snacks from my hometown. Of course I can make them too~" The girl smiled and took a photo with Huiyi before leaving the stage.

The interactive session lasted for more than an hour, much longer than Huiyi had expected, but the final feedback was also very good, which put her at ease.

After the event ended, Xiao Li Mao's arms were piled high with chive dumplings. Hui Yi took off her apron and let out a long sigh: "So tired...! I've never been this tired even when I cook for myself!"

"But! The cuckoo bird's food is delicious!" Little Chestnut Hat praised as he chewed his food. Huiyi let out a few weak yawns. From now on, he should just stick to singing, dancing, and rapping. It's only for a few minutes anyway...

Next time on the winner's stage... Kun, help me!!

Chapter 40: Explosive Video Content!

The debut competition was a crushing victory, but a mere 1000-meter dazzling debut competition would certainly not be enough to promote Huiyi's popularity too widely. However, the unique winner's stage performance became a huge hit with the spread of the Internet.

The next day, while waiting for her flight back to Tokyo from Hakodate, countless passengers in the waiting hall saw Huiyi's tutorial on making chive boxes, a popular snack on the show's winner stage. Every two or three steps, Huiyi could hear her own motherly nagging voice on stage.

Huiyi admits that he is an extremely shameless person at times, but when a person suddenly reaches a height he has never been at before, he suffers from the psychological problem of feeling embarrassed when he sees himself or hears his own voice.

Imagine you're about to sing a song at the college's New Year's Eve party. You're in great spirits with the accompaniment, but then the sound system malfunctions, and suddenly all that's left on the stage is your a cappella voice, which echoes back to your ears through the concert hall walls.

This is no ordinary social death...!

Fortunately, Huiyi had the foresight to study the disguise techniques of the East China Sea Emperor in his memory in depth, and finally chose a pair of pink sunglasses to hang on the bridge of his nose, successfully avoiding being recognized by the travelers on the way.

Sometimes you have to marvel at the convenience of the anime world. After all, if this happened in the real world... someone who becomes an overnight sensation and goes out like this, forget about sunglasses, they'd probably have their underwear pulled down.

In fact, all of them were wearing sunglasses, but in different colors. The most eye-catching one was probably Huiyi's bright pink one.

Kitahara is dealing with matters related to yesterday's winner's stage. Most of them are kitchenware manufacturers who want Huiyi to endorse their products, since they know that racehorse girls who can cook are ultimately a minority.

Kitahara initially considered declining the offer directly, as shooting the commercial would inevitably affect her training. However, considering Huiyi's miserly appearance, she finally asked, "Huiyi, here are a few kitchenware endorsement requests. The advertising fees seem quite substantial. Starting at 800 million, and no technical skills are required."

"Huh?! Shooting an ad?" Huiyi took a big gulp of his green tea, leaned closer and focused his gaze on the tablet in Beiyuan's hand: "I just finished my debut competition, and this opportunity to make money just pops up right here?"

“This is indeed a huge amount of advertising fees for a newly debuted horse girl, even higher than your prize money for this debut competition.” Kitahara wrote back and forth with the stylus, explaining the pros and cons of shooting commercials while waiting for Huiyi’s answer. In any case, the horse girl’s wishes are the most important.

While biting into a bright red candied hawthorn, Alice added, "Although it's a quick way to make money, it might also damage your reputation. You need to make a choice. But if you're active in the competition for a long time... then it's understandable. The fervent popularity you've built up will sweep away all the rumors and gossip."

“This is the internet.” Alice chewed on a candied hawthorn, and in some ways she saw things much more clearly than most racehorse girls.

Huiyi nodded thoughtfully. She understood these reasons as well. After all, the netizens in her previous life were much more aggressive than those in Horse Girls: "Of course I understand... I don't seem to be short of money now that I've got the 700 million bounty... Hmm, let's decline it for now!"

"I'll raise the price after I become truly famous! Hmm, that's it!" Huiyi wasn't simply refusing Guangzi's offer; he was just planning to demand an exorbitant price later.

"Wow, Huiyi is really famous on Twitter and YouTube now. So many influencers are following her tutorials to make chive boxes. Is this food really that delicious? It looks just like a regular pie!" Xin Guanghui, who had been silently scrolling through videos, exclaimed in surprise because even the Golden City she followed had imitated it!

Little Chestnut Hat is the most qualified to speak on this: "Of course it's delicious! When we get back to Teresen, we can make some more for Glorious to try!"

"Huh? I think you still want to eat! Just say so if you want to eat... really." Huiyi slapped Xiaoli Mao on the forehead, both amused and exasperated by Xiaoli Mao's clumsy cooking, but she didn't really want to cook for Xiaoli Mao... because she would be exhausted.

"Yes! I just want to eat it!" After being exposed, Little Chestnut Hat answered honestly.

"I won't cook for you even if you want to eat it, I'm too tired. Go ask Senior Xiaohaiwan." Huiyi ruthlessly rejected Xiaolimao's request and turned his attention to Xiaohaiwan instead. What will happen next is anyone's guess.

I glanced down and opened the group chat I hadn't opened all night. The first thing I saw was 【纯芦似冰】's reply to a video from last night: Wow!! Such a pure little goose hair! She can even cook… This is simply, simply the partner of my dreams!! Otto! Do you have her contact information?!

Huiyi almost choked on the green tea: "Cough cough! This... this..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Everyone turned to look at him. Huiyi wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth and calmly replied, "Nothing, cough. I just saw a picture of a hanging figure posted by a netizen."

"Oh, but you should also be careful not to spend too much time with online friends." Kitahara stopped interfering and focused on his work.

Huiyi hurriedly clicked on the video above and swallowed hard.

The video was sent by [ShuaiottoShuai], and it was taken right when Huiyi started the winner's stage. The video was of her making chive boxes.

Wait, this guy didn't say he was in Hakodate, did he? How did he suddenly get himself killed? Huiyi nervously scrolled down the video chat history...

[Handsome Otto]: Guys, I saw real chive boxes! Wow! I never thought I could actually smell the aroma of chive boxes in Japan again!

[If I don't watch Uma Musume for a day, I feel like Mai is crawling all over Sakurajima]: So this guy isn't a local? His language is so fluent!

[Handsome Otto]: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. The localization process is progressing quite well. Oh my god! I got chosen for the stage interaction! Dude, I'm going to heaven to make chive pancakes! Goodbye!

[Snow is falling, people are shivering, and the beast senior roars~]: Just listening to this voice, I feel like it sounds a lot like someone we know. And she also said there's a debut competition today. Could it be that the streamer won the debut?
