Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

She took a step forward, gently standing in front of Qingzhu's memories to meet Toyama Hikari's gaze:

"I've heard the rumors about Trainer Toyama. He must need my help with something to say that, right?"

"What's the meaning?!"

Upon hearing this, Qingzhu quickly peeked out from behind the Super Stream, looking at Toyama Hikari with a resistant expression:

"Is this guy threatening us? She's definitely not a good trainer!"

"It's much more convenient to say it that way."

Hikari Toyama ignored Aotake's accusations and spoke in a relaxed tone.

As she said this, a shrewd glint flashed in her eyes, and Toyama Scarlet once again revealed a villainous expression beyond ordinary facial expressions, staring wide-eyed at Super Stream who was tilting his head:

"Super Stream, you don't want such an important competition like Qingzhu Memories to be affected, do you?"

Upon seeing this, Qingzhu immediately brandished her bamboo knife in anger and shouted:

"Hey, you—"

"Come train with Stardust Illusion for a few days. I just left the exchange team and I'm short of sparring partners."

Before Aotake could recall anything, Toyama Hikari said this.

"—Huh?" X2

Qingzhu recalled that she had just wanted to get angry, as she had already heard rumors about Toyama Hikari.

This guy not only tortures the racehorse girls with high-intensity training, but recently he's also been putting Stardust Illusion into races...

She couldn't even imagine what kind of demands such a person would make of Super Stream!

However, this unexpected request caused her anger to momentarily go astray.

The other surprised voice came from Stardust Illusion.

Although she was just thinking about how to get rid of the Super Stream, she was interrupted by Toyama Scarlet and didn't speak up immediately.

After all, their way of getting along is that when communicating with the outside world, Toyama Scarlet takes the lead in actions, so Stardust Illusion is happy to let the trainer go up and communicate.

However, she planned to try it after she finished speaking, but she didn't expect that Toyama had the same idea as her.

I must say, he truly lives up to his reputation as his trainer.

"Hehe, that's fine—but I'm just a retired player after all, so don't have too high hopes for me."

Super Stream seemed to have anticipated what Toyama Scarlet was going to say. She smiled slightly and nodded in a relaxed tone.

Upon hearing the other party's reply, Hikari Toyama did not press the matter further.

She nodded, waved goodbye as if to say goodbye, and then turned and walked out of the training field first.

"This guy treats Oguri Hat as a respected master, so she would never look down on you, one of the top three in the Heisei era."

"See you the day after tomorrow... After Stardust Illusion, meet Super Stream here at 7 o'clock sharp the day after tomorrow!"

Chapter 152 (Bonus Chapter 2): Classic Plot of a Romance Novel

Early the next morning, Stardust Illusion changed into a new outfit: a coffee-colored long-sleeved shirt paired with navy blue trousers and a dark red top hat, looking both androgynous and handsome.

She had no training scheduled for today, as she had already made an appointment with Mi Yu to try and exorcise the curse of misfortune that was afflicting her.

With 20 minutes to go, Stardust Illusion arrived at the agreed location.

As soon as she arrived, she saw Mi Yu, whom she had arranged to meet. She was wearing a beige dress and carrying a huge backpack.

She stood prettily in a corner by the street, cautiously looking around.

As the stardust illusion drew near, Mi Yu immediately noticed her arrival, and a look of surprise and delight appeared on her face:

"Brother! You really came!"

The girl cheered restrainedly, her black ears swaying back and forth on her head, showing her excitement.

As Stardust Illusion walked to Mi Yu's side, a fragrant aroma of rice instantly wafted over.

Even though Stardust Illusion had just eaten breakfast, the familiar smell instantly lifted its spirits.

"Didn't we already make plans? Of course I'll come."

Upon hearing this, Mi Yu nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

She didn't explain further, but she was actually worried that it would delay Stardust Illusion's training, which was why she arrived so early.

Stardust Illusion didn't dwell on the topic. She nodded and then noticed the unnaturally large backpack on Mi Yu's back.

What is that? Is she planning to move house while she's at it?

Stardust Illusion scratched his head and asked directly, "What is this backpack...?"

"Um... this is something we prepared in case anything happens..."

Upon hearing the question, Mi Yu quickly took off her backpack and placed it on the ground, then unzipped it and began to explain:

"These are bandages, gauze, and leftover medicine from last time, prepared in case of falls for any reason..."

"This is an umbrella to prepare for sudden rain or snow, and spare clothes to prevent getting your clothes dirty..."

"This is canned food that we can use if we get caught in a disaster, along with some water and biscuits, etc.!"

As Stardust Illusion watched Mi Yu enthusiastically rummaging through the treasure bag, showing it off one by one like a precious treasure, Stardust Illusion's eyes twitched.

Is she overly worried about her misfortune, or overly prepared?

"Um... since this is my first time going out with my brother, I want to try not to cause any trouble... is that strange?"

Seemingly sensing the stardust illusion's gaze, Mi Yu stopped what she was doing and timidly raised her head.

"It's good that we're all prepared, what's strange about that? Anyway, let's go check out the statues of the three goddesses first. Or is there somewhere you'd like to go, Mi Yu?"

Stardust Illusion helped Mi Yu put the things back in her backpack, then picked it up herself, asking as she walked.

"what--"

Seeing her backpack being carried without hesitation by Stardust Illusion, Mi Yu reached out her hand, feeling a little shy and hesitant, wanting to carry it herself.

But after hesitating for a moment, she inexplicably did not refuse, and instead obediently followed and walked beside the Stardust Illusion.

(Does the way the older brother is carrying Mi Yu's bag make it look like they're on a date?)

She was secretly delighted, and then replied:

"Just listen to your brother when it comes to rice baths..."

Since it was still early, neither of them was in a particular hurry, and they strolled towards the statues of the three goddesses in the academy.

Following the road forward, after walking for about half an hour, we came to see the huge statue in the square and the fountain behind it.

The statue is about ten meters tall and consists of three Uma Musume figures. These three are the gods who constitute the world of Uma Musume:

Dali Arab: A goddess of the red hues, who governs the bloodline inheritance and running skills of horse girls.

Goldophile: A goddess of the blue hues, who governs the extraordinary physical abilities of horse girls.

Bayezid: A goddess of the yellow hue, who governs the fighting spirit and competitive drive of horse girls.

These three goddesses together created the entire world, making them truly creators, and they are real beings.

Horse racing girls often come here to pray for the three goddesses' blessing on their races.

Furthermore, after the two horse girls establish a relationship, they can seek the blessing of the Three Goddesses to give birth to racehorse offspring...

Mi Yu approached the front of the goddess statue, raised his head to look at the true faces of the three deities, and silently thought to himself:

If you were to quietly pray here to the three goddesses, asking them to grant you a child with a stardust illusion...

"Rice bath?"

Stardust Illusion looked at the somewhat dazed girl and called out:

"Let's pray to the three goddesses for blessings and see if we can banish your curse."

When her name was suddenly called, Mi Yu was startled.

She quickly pretended to be nonchalant and stood side by side with the Stardust Illusion.

(What am I thinking...! This is just a normal association after seeing the Three Goddess Statue, absolutely no other meaning!!!)

Mi Yu secretly defended her earlier thoughts.

"Although I don't really know how to bow, I'll just do three bows anyway?"

Stardust Illusion stood with Mi Yu in front of the three goddess statues, put their hands together and began to bow.

He was silently reciting in his heart:

(You three goddesses have tricked me into becoming a horse racer, so do me a good deed—)

In the dim light, the Stardust Illusion seemed to hear a cry of surprise.

But when she finished her action and turned around, she didn't see anything strange.

Apart from the fountain, there was only the regular green belt within the college; there was no one to make a sound.

(Am I hallucinating?)

Stardust Illusion didn't think too much about it, seeing Mi Yu still devoutly worshipping the three goddesses, his eyes closed and muttering incantations.

She didn't bother the other person, but suddenly thought of a question:

How can I test whether my luck has recovered after taking a rice bath?

Thinking of this question, Stardust Illusion quickly took out his phone and started searching.

Then, she said to Mi Yu, who had finished praying and straightened up, "Mi Yu, after everything is finished for today, do you want to go to the shopping street tonight? It seems like there's a small festival there tonight."

"Huh?"

The unexpected words from the Stardust Illusion caused Mi Yu to instinctively clench her clothes and tense up completely.

What, what does that mean?!
