Uma Musume no Nama no Nichijou (Horse Girl), First and foremost

Want to debut early? Sure.

But if anything happens after your debut, don't blame your trainer for not warning you.

This time, the issue of the two parents, Rudolph, symbolizing the victory of the Golden Horse, can only be described as bad luck.

"To be honest, the injury is actually within an acceptable range. However, it is a bit cruel for a racehorse girl who has already won two championships and is only one Chrysanthemum Prize away from becoming a triple crown horse girl with an undefeated triple crown. But Empress has a long racing career ahead of her, so if she is really injured, then she should take good care of herself."

After drinking a cup of black tea, Megumi McQueen didn't react particularly to the bad news; instead, he responded quite calmly.

In Megumi McQueen's view, the situation of becoming the Emperor of the East Blue might be a bit cruel to her personally. However, becoming the Emperor of the East Blue doesn't mean she has to retire or anything like that. Apart from making Megumi McQueen pay more attention to her own physical condition, this situation doesn't seem to have affected her much.

Who told her that in her debut era, besides herself, there were at least these two monsters beside her?

Triple Crown Girl, the classic Triple Crown racehorse?

Ha ha.

She should be secretly grateful if she could get a chrysanthemum to give to Mi Yu.

Oh, no, wait, there's also a twin-turbo, right?

McQueen Meghan frowned again at the blue-haired pony girl who hadn't participated in the selection competition or debuted, and who had only participated in one practice race before being sealed away again by Senior White Disaster.

Competing for the top three is fine, but if they fall out of the top three and end up in fourth place...

"Bourbon, do you have a solution over there?"

Unaware of the complex state of mind Megumi McQueen was experiencing regarding the upcoming match, and only after hearing McQueen's somewhat indifferent response, Miyu turned the conversation back to Miura Bourbon.

"I learned about the relevant information from my master, and I also know about Lord Baizai's request. However, my master was unable to give a guarantee. He only said that he would do his best to try various methods without affecting the recovery time."

After all, there is still a glimmer of hope in the recovery time, although it seems very slim and will affect one's performance in the competition.

At this point, Miura Nippon casually mentioned the possible changes that might occur to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Ceremony due to the likely absence of the emperor.

"Based on the analysis of the contestants of the same generation, and considering the reason for the injury of the Emperor of the East Sea, Oguri Hatter's chances of winning the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition have greatly increased, almost to the point of being a sure thing."

"Is that so... It's not quite right to say that Oguri-senpai is the winner just because Emperor-kun couldn't participate. Speaking of which, I didn't see Oguri-senpai around lunchtime today."

Midday, at the horse racing women's health center.

After three days, the Emperor of the East Sea finally regained some consciousness from his dazed state.

Ah... I really can't move my legs.

It wasn't a nightmare after all...

Hahaha, haha, ha...

Once she got up, her legs, which were immobilized, clearly told this genius horse girl that she was indeed not dreaming.

I actually injured my leg during the competition, and it was quite serious.

"No wonder Senior White Disaster was so opposed to the Domain State. Now I finally understand what that feeling is like..."

The Emperor of the East Sea was immediately struck by a very subtle emotion.

Perhaps because he was alone in the ward, with no one to vent to, the Emperor of the East Sea was able to remain calm and focused on the matter.

There were no complaints, after all, he had won the game.

There is no regret, after all, it was my own decision to debut early.

I'm just... I'm starting to feel a little lost about the future.

The recovery period is four to six months. According to Senior Baizai, training in momentum and technique needs to be combined with competition experience to grow, but her current competition experience cannot be increased for the time being...

While others are racing against time to seize every moment, I must work hard to rehabilitate my legs and get back to my best condition.

Even if we're optimistic, it should only take four months to recover. But to have a four-month gap to compete with rivals who are fully prepared for the Chrysanthemum Festival is simply unrealistic.

Not to mention the doctor's statement, which was almost like a declaration, telling him directly that even if he fully recovered, there was no guarantee that the next high-intensity competition would not cause the same injury, and even the recovery of the second fracture was assumed to be pessimistic.

But... what top-level competition isn't a high-intensity one?

I feel lost, very lost.

All I can say is that I'm extremely confused.

"Your Highness, a visitor has come to see you."

We heard from the hospital that someone had arrived, but when the knocking actually came from outside the door...

The tears in the eyes of this genius horse girl seemed unable to bear the weight of her grievance any longer, and dripped directly onto the bed sheet.

But the figure that appeared when the door opened made the already on the verge of collapse, the East Sea Emperor, feel completely out of sorts after seeing the other person.

A familiar figure in reeds appeared in front of the East Sea Emperor's sickroom.

"Little, Little Chestnut Hat, Senior?!"

P.S.: I originally wanted to use some despicable chapter titles like "Eastern Sea Emperor's Dried Fruit," but then I thought better of it.

Chapter 239 Thank you, Senior Oguri Hat

"Your Majesty, you are crying."

Carrying a large backpack, looking at the Emperor of the East Sea, the little chestnut-hatted horse girl with goose feathers objectively described what she was seeing.

That was the Emperor of the East Sea, whose eyes were slightly bloodshot and red, and whose face was already streaked with tears.

Emperor of the East Sea: "..."

How embarrassing.

This is so embarrassing.

I originally thought that one of the senior colleagues would be coming at this time. After I regained consciousness, the nurse said that she would have someone close to me come to meet me as soon as possible.

After all, they've seen many injured racehorse girls here, and they know that once they regain consciousness, someone needs to come and comfort them immediately.

But the people I'm encountering now... seem a bit strange.

Are they related?

In a sense, it is indeed true.

The problem is that this kind of thing is usually discussed more by seniors and elders. Of course, we are talking about seniors in the true sense of the word, the kind that even Tamamo-no-Mae wouldn't recognize if she came over with her cross.

It was awkward, but the other person was still waiting for his response. After thinking about it, Di Bao decided not to hide his feelings and instead gave a small "complaint" about the other person's initiative.

"Seriously... I thought the first person to visit me after I woke up would be the student council president, or maybe Shiro-san, but it's you, Oguri-hashi..."

After saying that, she originally wanted to say a formal thank you, but the problem was that as soon as she opened her mouth, Di Bao felt her body resisting her from saying those words.

In response, she could only slowly close her mouth and then give the other person a frustrated expression.

"Well, I didn't think that much about it. I just suddenly wanted to come and visit Your Majesty. But are there any restrictions on when I can visit you?"

Emperor of the East Sea: "..."

Although saying that might sound a bit petty and narrow-minded...

But at this moment, Emperor Bao was in a very bad mood, and the Emperor of the East Sea really hoped that Little Chestnut Hat could come and visit her at another time.

If it's earlier, and visits aren't open yet, then you won't run into them. If it's later, then they've already been comforted by the president and senior White Disaster, adjusted their mindset, and are able to face Oguri Hat.

But right now... it can only be described as extremely awkward.

Before the Emperor of the East Sea could think of a way to resolve this awkward situation and his current terrible mood, he saw Little Chestnut Hat start to move on his own, muttering to himself:

"table......"

Although I have never stayed in such a room before, even Satsuki Sho was kicked out by the East Sea Emperor the moment he entered the domain state, so he was basically not injured.

However, having visited Mi Yu and Golden Victory before, she was naturally able to find what she was looking for in the same ward layout.

Then the horse girl with the tuft of hair moved the table over. Perhaps considering that racehorse girls have a greater appetite than ordinary humans and ordinary horse girls, the table preparation was relatively more spacious.

"...The ward has special food provided for patients."

"Oh, I know about this. I brought it here for myself to eat."

Emperor of the East Sea: "?"

"Because I suddenly thought of coming to visit the emperor, I didn't think much about it and just packed some food at the student cafeteria beforehand and came straight here."

Emperor of the East Sea: "???"

No, you really didn't need to do that...

Not knowing whether to cry or laugh, Di Bao's emotions were indeed very complicated.

If someone else chose to skip lunch to show concern for others, it would seem perfectly reasonable and would at least demonstrate their sincerity.

But this assumption is quite different for Oguri Hat. Choosing to bring food over and then visit him is, in the words of White Disaster, an action that can move God in a certain sense.

If Oguri Hat were to one day decisively abandon her lunch because of someone, it would either be the end of the world or this Ash-haired Horse Girl falling in love, right?

"Hmm, it's alright, it's good that you know, Oguri-senpai. You can eat whatever you want, Oguri-senpai. My meal will probably be delivered in a while."

After all, the nurse had given him instructions about his diet when he first regained consciousness, so the East Sea Emperor could only watch helplessly as the other person ate in front of him.

As he watched, Di Bao suddenly felt hungry.

Even with the IV drip and such, the problem is that the mental hunger is completely whetted when they see Oguri Hat constantly taking out lunchboxes to eat.

The little horse was eating with great relish, while the little panda next to her was practically drooling with envy.

Originally focused on eating her lunch, Oguri Hat noticed the other person's overly intense gaze halfway through her meal and reluctantly slowed down her eating to check on the only injured person in the ward.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"N-nothing...it's nothing. Oh dear! Oguri-senpai, please take care of this! It's really a bit unbearable to watch!"

After all, she was injured, and the current Empress of the East Sea was extremely sensitive to her physical condition. She even wondered if drinking too much honey beverage had caused this situation.

As it turned out, the horse girl with the tuft of hair in front of her was really eating a lot, and the food inside was almost all the familiar dishes from the canteen, with a few dishes that Di Bao liked to eat.

Hearing the patient make such a request, Lu Mao Ma Niang's eating speed instantly increased several levels, refreshing the food on the table round by round with her breaths.

Emperor of the East Sea: "..."

The phrase "swept away by the wind and clouds" was something Di Bao had only heard of before, but she always felt it was something that couldn't be used in the context of eating. But now, seeing Oguri's actions, she could only say that seeing is believing, and it could even be described as an eye-opener...
