Uma Musume, Master of Love

"So my older sister can play the Hot-Blooded Carnival Festival too?!" In the instant that Guangzuan was distracted by surprise, she was knocked out of the game by Rudolf Symbol, controlled by Crown. Now, only she and Love As Always, controlled by Van Gogh, are left on the field, locked in a fierce battle.

Huiyi readjusted to the controller, then flicked Guangzuan's forehead: "You really think your older sister only knows how to stream FPS games? She'll try new games when she gets tired of them, okay? We happen to have some time now, let's do a family live stream!"

"Wow, am I, Crown Sister, and Fan Gao'er Sister considered guest stars?"

"No, actually you guys are streamers too. Come on, let's all play together~ After all, the Hot-Blooded Carnival Festival is more fun when you play together." Huiyi skillfully turned on the live streaming equipment, capturing the game screen on the TV while the other side had a camera that could cover all of them. Due to the time difference, the Japanese fans could only watch this live stream because they were all night owls.

After all, it's still quite eerie in Japan at three or four in the morning.

"Family, I don't know how you are, but I'm feeling great in England. What does Tokyo look like at three or four in the morning?" Huiyi greeted them with a familiar greeting. He didn't have much to say to his fans anyway, so he just teased them.

[Why is the streamer being so obnoxious? Is anyone in Europe? Let's solo kill the streamer!]

There's not much to see in Tokyo at dawn; I'd rather read a doujinshi in bed.

He was probably a legendary captain.

"Stop! Don't talk so much in front of the kids. Moderator, ban these people. I'm just playing some 'Hot-Blooded Carnival Festival' with the kids at home today, and I'll show you what I'm made of." Huiyi was full of confidence because she had practiced beforehand. If she couldn't beat her younger sister in this kind of game, she could just start over.

[Oh wow, this must be the first time streamer Huiyi has played games with his sister, right? Is that Satomi Crown and Satomi Diamond? And who's the other one?]

"The moderators banned the person who ganked me too. Just because I exposed myself doesn't mean you can openly gank me in the live stream! The guy next to me is a friend who asked me to teach him running for a few days. We're just playing games together now since we have nothing else to do." Huiyi sighed, finally understanding how those streamers felt when they were ganked like that in their live streams. So, no mercy!

Huiyi was confident that she could team up with Fan Gaoer in the game and make Crown Diamond scream in agony... but in reality, Huiyi was the one who kept dragging Fan Gaoer down. Several times, Fan Gaoer was leading Huiyi forward, but because of her mistakes, they lost the game.

"...Sis, why don't you stop touching the controller and let me play two characters by myself? That way we're guaranteed to win," Van Gogh said while drinking water during halftime, but looking at Huiyi's ashen face, he carefully chose his words.

Huiyi took a deep breath and placed the controller on the table with trembling hands: "I'm going to check on the food in the kitchen, you guys play first... haha..." He fled in a sorry state, forgetting to turn off the live stream, leaving his viewers with an extremely clownish back view...

Is this the first time we've seen the Cuckoo Bird get so thoroughly humiliated? I just saw her get dunked on by the AI ​​and she was completely exasperated.

[You know what, the AI ​​in the Hot-Blooded Carnival Festival is really strong, but the Cuckoo Bird seems a bit too weak.]

Qualified fans would naturally laugh at the streamer's failure to the fullest extent. Huiyi is actually quite talented in games, but he was just a bit outmatched by the gaming prodigy, Fan Gaoer.

"Uh...you can't say that, everyone. My sister actually plays very well. But she's been playing Crown and Diamond for a long time, and the AI ​​we were playing just now was on Hell difficulty." Van Gogh finally offered an explanation, otherwise Huiyi would be a little too... well, lose face.

Guangzuan and Huangguan, rubbing their aching wrists, affirmed, "If my sister plays two more rounds, we'll be the ones who lose."

So the game livestream turned into a chat livestream. While Huiyi was in the kitchen, the three female streamers started chatting with Huiyi's fans. They answered most of the questions the fans asked, so many people started asking if Huiyi had done anything really weird...

Hey~

The doorbell rang. Huiyi, who had just set out the food, wiped the water off her hands with her apron. She turned her head and saw the clock, so she knew who it was. She stopped Da Zhenhan, who was about to open the door, and threw her apron aside before coming to the door.

Huiyi opened the door, and the astronomer outside was carrying two boxes of nuts in his hands, looking like he was visiting relatives.

"You really came." Huiyi stood in front of the door with his arms crossed, looking at her with his purple eyes slightly narrowed.

"I...shouldn't I have come?" The astronomer felt guilty because after guessing what had happened, she wanted to befriend Huiyi and the others. Her behavior at the academy was just to create a certain image for herself. She was definitely not like that in front of her family and friends!

Huiyi's gaze shifted from the suitcase she was carrying: "No, but what are you doing bringing these things here?"

"Netizens say this can increase the host's goodwill."

"...Come in first, I knew you were coming. Your room is ready, it's on the first floor. Just put your two suitcases down anywhere, wash your hands and come eat." Huiyi moved aside to let the astronomer in and then locked the door.

Even at night, no one will come here.

Of course, the camera in the living room also clearly captured the horse girl here. As the winner of the British Derby and the Irish Derby, the astronomer was immediately recognized, but her appearance surprised netizens.

Aren't astronomers supposed to be elegant but dangerous gods on the field? How come they're so humble in front of Huiyi now... And it seems like they even brought gifts, which has only fueled netizens' curiosity!

However, when Fan Gaoer saw his senior sister arrive, he put the game aside to help her. Guang Zuan turned off the live stream, since it was his senior sister who had forgotten to turn it off in the first place. After washing his hands, he sat obediently at the dining table and started eating in silence.

After what happened yesterday, Haidu Star understood completely. Before Van Gogh, the astronomer, and the diamond digger could start eating together, the astronomer sat down next to Haidu Star and patted her on the shoulder, clearly puzzled.

"Hey, why didn't you wait for Huiyi to sit down before you started eating...? That's very impolite..."

"Because in Sister Huiyi's eyes, if you don't eat the food right away after it's served, it's impolite to her..." Haidu Star answered very quietly. At this time, Huiyi was still in the kitchen fiddling with something. The astronomer was a little confused when he heard this news.

Greatly impressed, he nodded in agreement: "That's right, so let's not worry about that for now, let's eat first and then discuss it."

"Ah, Yueyi is the first... good..." The astronomer awkwardly picked up his chopsticks and started working.

Huiyi made a pot of rock sugar pear soup. She always felt that it was easy to get a sore throat in the UK this season, so she decided to make something to cool her down. This was also her first time making rock sugar pear soup, so she hoped it wouldn't be a disaster.

After everyone finished drinking the rock sugar pear soup, just as Huiyi was about to wash the pots and pans, the astronomer took the initiative and put all the dishes and chopsticks that needed washing into the kitchen sink.

Haidu Zhixing, who had originally planned to continue reading, suddenly felt a little unfamiliar with her older sister as she watched the astronomer busily working on something she couldn't quite place. Why did she sense a hint of fawning? She had never seen the astronomer act this way before.

Fan Gao'er was also curious about this, but she made a surprising statement to Haidu Star: "Sister Haidu, this situation isn't actually strange. I've seen many explanations for this in Xiao Jun's book..."

"What's the explanation? Could it be that Sister Astronomy is sick?" Haidu Star suddenly became a little nervous.

However, Van Gogh shook his head: "No, they say this definitely indicates a simp pursuing another woman, but I have my doubts..."

Perhaps realizing that what he said was a bit inappropriate, Fan Gaoer explained again: "What I meant was, I didn't say that Sister Tianwen was a simp. Maybe she was trying to win over Sister Huiyi."

Chapter 214 Who is the teacher?

"..."

Haidu Star was speechless for a moment, but then she thought about how the astronomers were doing things that didn't fit their impressions, and she suddenly felt relieved. After all, she couldn't think of any other reason to explain these behaviors except for what Van Goll said about trying to gain favor.

"I don't quite understand why Sister Tianwen is trying to win over Sister Huiyi. Logically speaking, Sister Tianwen should be able to have as many horse girls as she wants." Haidu Zhixing closed her book and started gossiping, which was unusual for her. After all, the protagonist of this gossip was someone she knew, which made it all the more exciting.

As Fan Gao'er drank the chilled carrot juice from the can, he touched his cheek and said, "Sister Haidu, haven't you noticed that most of the time Sister Huiyi is impatient with Sister Tianwen? Like this morning when we were coming here, Sister Huiyi said that Sister Tianwen wouldn't starve on her own and didn't need to be taken care of."

Fan Gao'er really felt that Hai Du Zhi Xing hadn't even noticed this blatant unfair treatment, and wondered how badly she would be taken advantage of when she entered society... But then again, considering her good luck, maybe not.

It seems that the heavens have a special favor on the Star of the Sea, because at least Van Gogh has never seen the Star of the Sea suffer any misfortune since he was a child, which is really strange for a horse girl.

Haidu Star fell into thought, but gave up thinking again half a second later. This kind of emotion involving her family was too complicated for her, a horse girl who only knew how to run and read wordless books. But according to Van Gogh, Haidu Star could confirm that the astronomer was pursuing Brilliance!

"I get it! Sister Tianwen is pursuing Sister Huiyi...! That means we're going to have a sister-in-law?" The extraordinary wisdom that Haidu Star shouldn't have been able to unleash in this situation almost made Fan Gaoer choke on his drink.

"Shh! I don't think so either... Actually, ever since I came here, I've felt that Sister Huiyi has some connection with Da Zhenhan, and now Sister Tianwen is the third person...! So Sister Haidu, don't take it so seriously!" Fan Gaoer tugged at Haidu Zhixing's sleeve and whispered, after all, this kind of love triangle is often seen in TV dramas...

But if this really happened to someone they knew, Van Gogh felt it was better to let it go. The three goddesses probably wouldn't want to see such a melodramatic plot unfold.

However, most of the time life is more dramatic than TV dramas.

Van Goll and Sea Star slept in the same room at night. The two horse girls had a good relationship and had played together since they were little, so there was nothing wrong with them sleeping together.

The astronomer slept on the first floor, next to Huiyi's room. The thought of the white-haired horse girl, Yueyi, made the astronomer feel uneasy.

It's hard to explain... Even though Huiyi treats her so badly, why does he still want to get along with her...?

The astronomer tossed and turned, then accidentally rolled off the bed and fell heavily onto the floor.

Huiyi, from next door, poked his head out from under the covers and clicked his tongue: "By the way, do astronomers not sleep at night and keep flying planes with all that clanging and banging?"

The astronomer tossed and turned in bed. The soundproofing on the same floor of the building wasn't very good either, and Huiyi, who lived just a wall away, couldn't sleep either.

Huiyi spent a sleepless night, but the curses in his mind kept coming.

The next day, she walked out of her room with panda-like dark circles under her eyes and happened to run into the astronomer who was boiling water, though he seemed to have more energy.

"Huiyi, why do you look so unwell?"

"...If that's your question, then I'll have to ask you. What were you doing tossing and turning in bed all night? This house isn't very soundproof! I'm easily kept awake by noise before I fall asleep!" Huiyi realized during the night that arranging for the astronomer to stay next to him was a huge mistake. He wished he had put the astronomer next to the Great Shock...

The astronomer thought for a moment. In her memory, she had fallen asleep while rolling around, and it shouldn't have been past midnight yet. How could it be that Huiyi said it would have been a whole night... Could it be that her body still had its own consciousness after she fell asleep?

She did not answer this question. After all, she would feel guilty no matter what she said about things she didn't know, so it was safer to keep quiet.

Huiyi exhaled, then went into the bathroom to use the toilet. After washing up, he forced himself to prepare breakfast and asked the charming scenery to wake up Haidu Zhixing and Fan Gaoer, who were still not moving in their rooms. He then went back to his room to change into his training clothes.

After the children finished breakfast, they went together to the indoor training ground of Royal Treisen. Of course, Da Shen hadn't eaten breakfast yet; she was still fast asleep. I don't know why she was so sleepy in England.

The astronomer followed quietly, simply wanting to see how well her younger sister was performing in the competition.

I initially thought Van Gogh was the petite type of horse girl, but when Huiyi saw her in her training clothes, her eyes widened slightly. Had she been wearing loose clothes all along to hide her incredibly voluptuous figure?!

The training clothes were designed to fit the body well so that it would be easy to move around. It was then that Huiyi saw the strength that made Fan Gaoer and Haidu Star equally matched.

"Never mind... it's normal for European horse girls to develop better, they also age faster..." Huiyi muttered, with a timer hanging around his neck and an Excel spreadsheet open on his tablet to record the time taken by the three horse girls.

"The three of you! Warm up and then run a lap around the training ground. I'll check your skills first. No need for any special techniques, just run!" Huiyi instructed them, then looked at the parameters of the training ground. One lap was just the right length.

Fan Gao'er was excited to hear Huiyi's words. After all, she didn't know what skills were. Her teacher in Haidu City once said that the best way for her right now was to just keep her head down and charge forward!

Charming View always felt awkward wearing European training clothes. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, but it shouldn't affect her running... The biggest challenge for Charming View was adapting to the soft grass of Europe.

The one who reacted the least was Haidu Star. She simply did her warm-up routine without showing the excitement or worry that Van Gogh had.

After one lap, the first horse to pass by Huiyi was unsurprisingly Van Gogh. This little guy's speed in the mile race really impressed Huiyi, and judging from her appearance, she could easily increase the distance. Next was Haidu Star, whose stride and technique were very steady. Huiyi felt that she should be the horse girl who needed the least worry.

Finally, there was the captivating scenery that had been left far behind. After the run, I sat back down in my chair and rubbed my calves.

"Everyone performed well, and Van Gogh's situation is quite clear. Haidu City probably also suggested that you are very suitable for the mile race, right?"

"Oh right~ Teacher Haidu said I have a lot of talent in the mile race!"

Van Goll showed no signs of fatigue, which may also be related to her naturally active personality. After saying this, she took the initiative to go for a two-lap jog to increase her lung capacity.

While Huiyi was analyzing the situation for the horse girls, the astronomers further away kept their eyes glued to her. However… she felt that she could also teach Haidu Star a bit…? After all, she had experience from two G1 matches, right?

With this in mind, the astronomer quietly approached. At this moment, Huiyi had her back to her. Haidu Zhixing, who was facing her, noticed the astronomer and was about to say something when she saw Huiyi raise a finger to make a shushing gesture. After thinking for a moment, Haidu Zhixing shut her mouth.

"Ahem... Actually, I think I can share some of my experiences with the Star of the Sea..." The astronomer cleared his throat, once again displaying the elegance he had shown during their first meeting, after all, this was the academy's training ground.

Startled by her sudden voice, Huiyi's tail bristled, and it stiffly turned its head, its ears turned away: "Are you the teacher? Or am I?"

Huiyi had never felt that an astronomer could be so persistent, so she strained her ears even more until they hurt a little: "And... I clearly only brought three of them, why did you come to join in the fun?"

"Um... I just wanted to teach my little sister some racing experience, in case she needs to run in Yashi Valley someday, right..."

"Huh? Then why didn't you teach me before, and only chose now? Did you originally intend to keep something from Haidu Star?" Huiyi curled her lip, thinking that she should just sell off this cheap older sister!

But at this moment, the astronomer thought of the data she had found: the fact that Glamour only had short English distance races... she had no experience in middle distances... Although she was a classic racehorse with a WTR rating of 119, the fact that she only had short English distances made her rating highly controversial.

Thinking back to Huiyi's previous attitude towards him...

Astronomers feel they're about to rise to prominence!

"Well... Huiyi, you don't want to only have a short-range rating and be called bad, do you...!"

At this point, Huiyi's raised foot was suspended in the air.

"Do I care about other people's ratings?" Although she said that, Huiyi actually cared a lot about the score. Everything she was doing now was to shape herself into an absolute figure that would never be surpassed, so the WTR rating was very important to her.

At this moment, it is a psychological battle between the two horse girls, but it is obvious that Huiyi's purpose in participating in the international G1 in the classic year is quite obvious, so the astronomers will not be wrong!

“Of course you care. Otherwise, why would you run the Yasuda Kinen, one of only two Japanese races with international ratings? Shouldn’t NHK be resting and training until autumn after the race?” The astronomer retorted sharply, his eyebrows twitching and a hint of a grin on his face.

The World Uma Musume rating system is so unpredictable. If Glow wants to become a Uma Musume that no one has ever achieved before, she must get a score in both WTR and TF that no Uma Musume has ever reached, and she must make sure that she will not be surpassed by the future Van Gogh.

"So, what are you trying to say? Even if I specialize in short English competitions, I can still get a very high score." Of course, Huiyi was just forcing herself to say this. She had only just come into contact with the scoring system and only knew that she had 119 points after Yasuda Kinen. She didn't know if it was considered high, but judging from other people's reactions, it wasn't a low score either.

Hooked!

The air was thick with tension, and Haidu Star wisely stayed to the sidelines to watch the drama unfold.

The captivating scenery was a little stunned; she had never seen Huiyi show such an expression to any horse girl before—the astronomer was unique.

"I can teach you about middle-distance racing. If you're going to race in distant locations next year, I guarantee you'll win the King's Stakes!" The astronomer smiled. The female horses that have participated in the King's Stakes over the years have never been weak, so winning this race would naturally earn them a high rating.

Astronomers are certain that Huiyi will not refuse the competition, as she knows more about the scoring.

"Winning the King's Championship will definitely earn you a high rating."

"..." Huiyi clicked her tongue. She had also heard of the Royal Champions Championship, a highly prestigious international G1 race. And coincidentally... the Astronomer was indeed a racehorse girl who had won this race.

The astronomer continued, "I got my 129 points in WTR by winning the Royal Trophy, which is a full ten points higher than yours."

To be honest, Huiyi was tempted. Although she could learn from the Hawaiian King and Zhou Rining after returning to China... they certainly didn't have the same high rating as the astronomer.

"I never expected Astronomy Sister to use this method. I thought this kind of thing only happened in Japanese anime." Haidu Star was extremely surprised; it was the first time she had ever seen an astronomer treat a horse girl this way…

Huiyi rubbed his temples: "What experience do you have? And... why are you so sure you can guarantee I'll win the King's Championship?"

"With my abilities and the experience I've gained at Ascot, although Ascot Racecourse is closed for maintenance this year, it will definitely resume next year." The astronomer regained his composure.

"Trust me, and I can make you feel right at home when you step onto Ascot Racecourse."

Wait a minute... Huiyi feels like he's heard this somewhere before? And there's a strange sense that he could believe it. But the problem is, isn't the astronomer the worst person in the Haidu family?

“Let’s discuss this matter again. You should teach Haidu Star first…” Huiyi said, then turned his back on the astronomer.

Haidu Star walked over and patted the astronomer on the shoulder: "Sister Astronomy, so the negotiations have fallen through?"

The astronomer shook his head and patted the Star of the Sea on the shoulder: "No, Star, now I am your teacher too."

"?"

"Go buy me a bottle of water first. I boiled water this morning but forgot to drink it." The astronomer stuffed a few euros into Haidu Star's hand and then hid under the parasol to sit with Huiyi.
