Uma Musume, Master of Love

Screw you, I'm not in the mood! Getting some fries makes me happy!

Come on! Tama, scoop up some fries! You dare ask my scout to pour tea?

As night fell, Da Shen returned to her dormitory from the training room, but as soon as she stood in front of the dormitory door, she heard something inside the room that contained a very high level of family genealogy information, and it was all coming from Hui Yi's mouth.

"Seriously? You guys expect me, a scout, to snipe at the enemy base? You really think I can take down seven or eight people in the point with a pistol? Veteran, get your medics ready!"

"We just made it in, how come we lost points again? Veteran, is there something wrong with your play this game?"

With a sense of doubt, Da Zhenhan gently pushed open the door. The room was dark except for the light from the computer screen, which illuminated Huiyi's slightly flushed cheeks.

Her tail swayed back and forth in the hole behind the chair, fanning out a shiny, arc-shaped area on the floor.

And then...and then she wasn't wearing any clothes.

……

Huh? No clothes on? I was really shocked to see that my roommate was only wrapped in half a bath towel... and it looked like she was live-streaming.

Huh?! A live stream?! Wearing this for a live stream?! No way! Absolutely not! The shock was immense; he rushed over and slammed the laptop down with his hand.

"Huh? Huh?? What are you doing, Da Zhenhan?" Huiyi was dumbfounded. The game was going well, and there was really hope that she, as the assault sniper, could push the point, but now all hope was shattered.

"Huiyi! I knew everything in the training room today! But... but no matter how difficult your life is, you can't do something like this! This is an abyss! Once you step into it, you'll be doomed!!" Da Zhensheng seemed a little agitated, and hurriedly pulled a uniform out of Huiyi's closet and threw it at her, clearly wanting her to change her clothes before speaking.

"Wait! What are you talking about, Da Zhenhan? I don't understand. Is live streaming considered an abyss? I... I didn't do anything 18+ prohibited!" Huiyi hugged her clothes tightly, too afraid to move. Her tail had been stuck in the hole and was shaking so violently that it was cramping up, so she dared not move.

Da Shi was shocked and blushed a little, but the thought that his actions were saving a female horse girl from losing her virginity filled him with confidence: "What kind of thing is it to dress like this during a live stream?! This is already... forbidden!"

"...Is that all...? But I don't even have a camera...I never show my face when I stream...Big Shock, classmate..."

"Huh? Eh?? But don't live streams all... don't they all require showing your face?"

"It's not absolute!! Besides, who would like to look at me? I'm short and small with no charm at all. How could anyone like something I dislike myself?" Huiyi casually complained, reaching back to pull her tail out of the hole, baring her teeth.

"I love it!!"

Startled by these words, Huiyi turned his head stiffly, the muscles at the corners of his lips twitching unconsciously.

What was that shocking statement just now? She likes? Likes someone like herself?

what?

Looking down again to confirm, it was short, thin, and could even be used as a takeoff airfield for fifth-generation fighter jets...

Is this right?

This is so embarrassing... I'm so shocked I feel like covering my face.

Hearing Huiyi belittling herself again, she couldn't help but blurt out her approval, but the truth is... the ambiguity of that statement is still quite serious.

For example, like this now...

Give me some votes, meow.

There will be more updates later, meow.

Chapter 12 Get up in the middle of the night and slap yourself

"Wait! I meant the 'like' thing. I just didn't want to hear you keep belittling yourself..." Da Zhenzhen realized she had said the wrong thing in her haste and hurriedly tried to explain and make amends, but she herself felt that her image in Huiyi's eyes had already collapsed beyond repair.

Why did they have to portray her as a cold-faced woman yesterday?! She brought this on herself! I'm so shocked, I almost cried.

“I think I understand, but I really think it’s fine... so I don’t need Da Zhenhan to care about me so much. I find such concern only annoys me more.” Huiyi also understood what Da Zhenhan meant. If she didn’t take a firmer stance now, Da Zhenhan might interfere more with her decisions in the future.

Therefore, Huiyi needs to make a clear distinction for Da Zhenhan at this time, and also let her lower her favorability rating. Otherwise, if her favorability rating is too high one day and she gets taken advantage of by this shrimp-headed barbarian in the dormitory without any explanation, it would be a wrongful case that she wouldn't be able to cry about even if she went to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Half of it was the indifference of the performance, and the other half was that he really didn't like being managed too much. After saying this, Huiyi hugged his uniform and threw himself into the quilt. A few seconds later, he threw a bath towel out from under the quilt.

"Um... I'm sorry... Huiyi." And just like that, a misunderstanding arose. Are all future roommate relationships going to be this strained...?

This is unacceptable! She desperately wanted to salvage the situation, but another problem arose: she didn't know how to fix it. It was her own mess to begin with, and now she had to clean it up herself... She couldn't think of a way at all.

"Um...it's nothing, that's all. I'm a little tired today, I'm going to sleep first." Huiyi glanced at the messages on his phone, opened the live stream backend to estimate the gift revenue share he would receive, but he still couldn't sleep, after all, he was earning too little right now.

However, the laptop was closed but the live stream wasn't turned off... I'll explain this in the fan group.

[I'm eating lemons]: My roommate just covered the streamer's computer, and now he's lying naked in bed and too lazy to turn it off. You guys can leave now.

【Pure Lu Like Ice】: The streamer was broadcasting naked just now?! I...I'm even more excited now! Why didn't you say so during the live stream?! Why?! You only told me this explosive thing after I was already finished!

Huiyi was numb, but he was too tired to dwell on it. He turned off his phone, tossed it on the bedside table, and fell into a deep sleep. When you're feeling upset, the best thing to do is to get a good night's sleep!

It seemed that her body was more sensitive, and she felt more comfortable on the soft bed. Huiyi fell asleep quickly, while Dazhen sat on the edge of the bed, covering his face with his hands and feeling guilty.

What happened in just five minutes was so shocking that I might regret it for a lifetime. Tonight, I might suddenly sit up in bed and slap myself twice. I used to think only someone with such low emotional intelligence would say something like that…

But now the boomerang has come back and it turns out that the person with the lowest emotional intelligence is actually myself! This is terrifying!

"Huiyi...she should...she should forgive me, right...sob..." Trembling, guilt filled her deeply shaken heart. She never imagined that one day she would become the culprit who hurt someone else's heart...

Feeling guilty and deeply shocked, she didn't wash up before retreating to bed, wrapped in her blankets and clothes, and fell asleep. Until dawn the next day, she remained in a light sleep, easily awakened by the slightest sound.

As dawn broke, Da Zhenhan checked his phone and saw it was six in the morning. He quietly got up, put on his shoes, and went to the restaurant to pack a breakfast for Huiyi in an insulated container. He placed it next to Huiyi's bedside table, left a note, and then headed to the training room.

Huiyi didn't actually wake up naturally; she was awakened by the aroma emanating from the insulated food container. When she opened her eyes, she saw breakfast placed on the table, which immediately lifted her spirits for the start of the day.

"Hmm...? Did Da Zhenhan leave this?" There was a note tucked into the insulated box. Huiyi put on a coat and sat up. To be honest, Da Zhenhan's handwriting was incredibly ugly. Huiyi couldn't imagine that a horse girl could write such a handwriting.

Although she herself couldn't write it well.

I am very sorry about what happened yesterday. I have reflected on it and will definitely be more careful in the future. Please forgive me.

"What... I wasn't angry at all, okay? Turns out she's so innocent. Maybe she can be a free laborer in the future." Huiyi thought to herself, before opening the insulated box, she sent a funny soybean to the shocked Ma Tui, and then buried her head in her food.

When she was at the Satomi family home, Huiyi's mealtimes were irregular. After coming to the Central government, she became even more unruly with no one to discipline her. Only after finishing her meal did she notice that a new group chat had appeared on her Twitter account.

a lovely family

Hmm, this group chat name unexpectedly has a hometown feel to it.

Upon entering the group, she discovered it was the team's group chat. She had been added to the group chat by Oguri Hat last night, and Kitahara had returned her message in the early hours of the morning, along with a Word document titled "Pre-debut Training Plan."

Upon opening it, she saw dense text. Huiyi got a headache after just one glance and immediately rejected it. She suffers from headaches when she sees text, which is why she always streams highly competitive games instead of games with storylines.

Before leaving, Huiyi made sure to shut down her laptop, then tied her long, dark brown hair into a high ponytail before heading to the training room.

Since she has chosen to become a racehorse girl and has appointed a trainer, she must also fulfill her duties as a racehorse girl and complete her daily training diligently.

Have fun when it's time to play, but also work hard when it's time to work.

Unlike other racehorse girls, Huiyi never considered becoming a racehorse girl as a dream or a hobby, but simply a means of making a living.

Winning the tournament wasn't that important to her; winning and collecting the prize money was enough to reach the pinnacle of her life.

"Good morning! Oguri, Shin, Kitahara-san!" Huiyi opened the door with a bold kick, looking full of energy.

"Oh, good morning. How about we do a test today? I can't see anything useful in Huiyi's file that would be useful on the field." Kitahara smiled slightly as he held a cup of coffee and saw that Huiyi was on time.

Huiyi didn't mince words and agreed, "Okay, but... Kitahara-san, just give me a heads-up, I'm really bad..."

“It’s alright. There are no bad racehorse girls, only bad trainers,” Kitahara said, taking a sip of his coffee.

Since we've gone all out... let's fully showcase our strengths!

Huiyi had observed that she herself started faster than any other racehorse girl, and her starting speed was also faster. Although she was not as strong as ordinary racehorse girls... as long as she didn't compete with them, it would be fine.

Having thought all this through, Huiyi felt even more confident.

If Ying Zhongchang's performance is really too poor, then she can rely on her quick start to compete in short-distance races. There are so many paths in the world, why stick to a single one?

However, Huiyi himself didn't want it to be too bad, because...

The prize money for the sprint race is really not as much as that for the UK-China race!

Tickets, meow

Give me some, give me some~

Chapter 13 What are the consequences of being physically weak...?

"Then get ready. Go change into suitable shoes and training clothes. The brand new Radiance is ready for you." Kitahara felt a little relieved to see that Radiance's enthusiasm for training and running was normal.

During my conversation with Huiyi yesterday, I could clearly sense her dejection. I was worried that she might be averse to running, but it seems that there is no problem.

“Okay, by the way… will Oguri help me with the training?” Huiyi agreed, and then asked Kitahara as she picked up the shoes.

"Hmm?" Oguri Hat, whose name was mentioned, looked up, with bits of radish still stuck to the corner of her mouth. After a moment's thought, she answered before Kitahara could, "Yes, I will. But not now. Kitahara doesn't know where your strengths lie yet."

Having ambition is a good thing, but Kitahara still inadvertently wiped the instrument.

What new racehorse girl would want to run alongside veteran monsters before even being tested?

They're either lacking self-awareness or masochists who enjoy being abused.

Kitahara's gaze swept over the shimmering gossamer, and he muttered to himself, "Judging from her appearance... she shouldn't be one of those weird racehorse girls, right?"

The training ground at Central Tressen was also built and maintained according to the standard racing track. At this moment, Kitahara stood here again after a long absence, and truly had the first racehorse girl signed by Central.

Little Chestnut Hat and Shining Radiance were also nearby. Radiance's gaze wandered around, and when he saw Little Chestnut Hat doing warm-up exercises, Radiance suddenly had the idea to learn them.

But with just the first leg stretch, as soon as he bent over, Huiyi cried out in pain from his stretched hamstrings.

"Wow!!"

Pain, this feeling is the ultimate pain. Huiyi thought that her flexibility would improve after becoming a horse girl, but she didn't expect that her flexibility would still be so poor.

"Huiyi, what are you doing?" Beiyuan was also startled by the howl. After putting down the clamp, he came over and stared blankly at Huiyi rolling on the ground.

"I...I wanted to do some warm-up exercises like Oguri-kama, but I pulled a muscle...it hurts..."

"..." Kitahara sighed softly, his hand supporting his face. "Oguri's supple physique is rare even among Uma Musume contestants. Why choose her as an example? It's a good thing she didn't try to emulate the East Blue Emperor..."

The unexpected farce enlivened the previously dull atmosphere. The newly radiant figure sat on the stands outside the training field, with a case of sports drinks and several clean white towels beside him.

During training, she basically didn't have any work; all she needed to do was hand water and towels to the racehorses in the team.

But seeing Hikari, who is also a goose-haired girl like Oguri, but whose personality is so different, is also a unique way to pass the time.

Once Huiyi's twitching hamstrings subsided, Kitahara arranged for her to undergo a very simple field test.

"So I need to run two races? That's so troublesome." After listening to Kitahara's explanation, Huiyi understood that it meant running one race on grass and one on mud to see which track suited her best.

"That's right, let's get a feel for things first."

“Actually, I know which track I’m best suited for. Do you believe me, Kitahara-san?” Huiyi said, a determined light shining in his eyes.

"Hmm? Go ahead." Kitahara was also very pleased, after all, it would save him a lot of trouble, and he could directly estimate the distance and adapt.

"Cement floor".

"..."

The three words silenced the group. Oguri Hat even asked, "Kitahara, so there are cement races on Uma Musume?"

"Stop being silly! Go run!"

"Alright! Got it!!"

Huiyi also knew when to stop, and under Beiyuan's watchful gaze, he started running without any skill.

With just that one moment, Kitahara was filled with awe and respect.

Although her starting posture was terrible, it did not affect her starting speed at all. Oguri Hat also witnessed this moment. Although she was an older generation monster, she only had a superficial understanding of theoretical knowledge.

However, this did not prevent her from judging Huiyi's monstrous starting speed based on her rich experience on the field.

"Kitahara, Cuckoo's starting line... is terrifying."

"Ah, I can tell too... Wait, who is the Cuckoo Bird?" Kitahara crossed his arms and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"The cuckoo bird is Huiyi, and Huiyi is also a streamer," Little Chestnut Hat answered honestly.

However, Kitahara's expression changed after 100 meters, and after 400 meters, Kitahara's face was full of terror. After seeing Kagura sliding down the path with his face pressed against the grass at 1000 meters, he died with complete relief.

"Kitahara Geishagi-kun! Kitahara?!"

When Kitahara fell to the ground, it startled Oguri Hat, who shook her so much that her brains were almost completely disintegrated.

"I...I...I'm not dead. Don't worry about me. Go drag Huiyi back. I need to calm down." Beiyuan patted his chest and sat down on the ground. Considering what he had just seen Huiyi sprint a thousand meters, how should he tell her?

The starting posture was very effective, but Huiyi continued running forward without slowing down until he collapsed in place after a kilometer.

At first glance... Huiyi's distance adaptability means there are no suitable matches for him to participate in in the center.

But Kitahara dismissed the idea outright, perhaps because Huiyi had exhausted too much energy without a suitable strategy.
