I, the horse racing girl, really didn’t sprint!

But suddenly she felt someone grabbing her hand, causing her ears to move unconsciously and her emerald eyes to become a little vague. She found this sudden attack a bit funny.

There is no other feeling at all!

"I give up. This is not something I can adapt to in a short time!"

Barbatos just felt her legs go weak. According to the original plan, as long as she had a way to escape from a high altitude, her fear of heights should be solved.

But even with a rigorous emergency escape plan, they were still afraid of heights, especially when they realized they were almost at the top of the Ferris wheel! They were so scared that they grabbed Xingyun Tiankong's hand.

No wonder Aix is ​​afraid of heights even though he can fly. Could it be that in some novels, monks who can fly would install guardrails on their flying swords?

These are the bloody lessons learned by people with acrophobia, and the conclusions reached by their predecessors after overcoming many difficulties. They are not something she can change in a short time.

Only when she felt the warmth from his palm did her legs recover a little.

"You're afraid of heights, yet you suggested riding the Ferris wheel?"

Xingyun Tiankong smirked with her eyes slanted, and the slightly dark environment concealed the slight blush on her face, making nothing unusual visible.

"Since I'm here, I still want to sit here and have a look. That way, when I have a partner in the future, I can bring her here too."

"Eh? A partner? Then she'll see you when you're afraid of heights."

"cough."

Although Barbatos wanted to retort, he still had Xingyun Tiankong's hand, so he gave in to her a little. "I just didn't expect this place to have a 360-degree panoramic view. I'm sure I can do other places!"

She had ridden a Ferris wheel in her previous life, but her fear of heights was not as extreme as it is now. This is also the consequence of the 360° panoramic view.

"As long as we take her to other Ferris wheels next time, this won't happen again."

"Hey, Barbatos-san..."

"Why are you calling me like that all of a sudden?"

Xingyun Tiankong tilted his head slightly, "Isn't it a bit too much for you to grab my hand and talk about future partners?"

"?"

She felt as if her heart skipped a beat at that moment. The touch on her hand was unusually obvious at this moment, and her fair face was slightly flushed.

She didn't actually think too much about it when she grabbed Nebula's Sky Hand. After all, she was afraid of heights, and after becoming a horse girl, she even slept in the same bed with Ulala.

But after hearing this, I knew it was just a joke from Nebula Sky, just a joke between friends.

But a strange feeling spread in my heart, as if a drop of ink fell into clear water.

What does it feel like to hold the hand of the nebula sky?

She hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now she could clearly feel something soft and warm, like warm jade, and her body became a little stiff as if it had been electrocuted.

That does not work!

You will definitely be laughed at by the nebula sky!

After a long silence, Barbatos finally spoke, "Actually... I do have some other ideas about the Winter Dream Cup."

She changed the subject a little stiffly, because she was in a state of confusion and had a computer crash, so she didn't notice that Xingyun Tiankong, who was joking with her, had also crashed.

After teasing others, you will also be affected. This is a skill that hurts the enemy 1000 and hurts yourself 1000.

"Ready to run first?"

"If possible, I think so too. Which horse racing girl doesn't want to take first place?"

"The reality is, there's still a huge gap between me and them, but I'm wondering if I can..." Barbatos raised his other hand and made a fist, "Can I outrun any of them?"

Once she participates in the Winter Dream Cup, she will have to face "the horse girl who will not be oystered". No horse girl can allow her to continue [Sprint] and [Highland Bloodline]. How could the legendary horse girl who stands at the top of all horse girls in Japan be oystered by her?

The simplest and most effective way is probably to buy all the heroes with slowing skills, and then grab the legendary horse girl closest to you. Anyone who has played League of Legends knows how disgusting some slowing skills are.

Especially the impotence of the dog head!

But she was not going to try this method. She already had a system of cheats running. Did she still need to use such means to interfere with others' victory?

Wouldn't that be an unfair victory? So what if she won over someone else with such means?

She will not receive cheers and shouts for defeating a legendary horse girl who is "out of form".

There are still a few months left before the Dream Cup. Spend more time playing League of Legends and participate in as many competitions as possible to earn gold coins while winning. This way, you may have a chance to win and not be the last one!

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea, but an idea I had when I learned I was going to participate in the Winter Dream Cup. I was just afraid of being laughed at for being naive if I said it out loud.

Since her low-key development has been broken by the support of 33 fans, what she can do now is to live up to those fans from China.

Coming in second to last shouldn’t be considered a flag, right?

"Huh?" Xingyun Tiankong was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he saw her so serious.

"Okay, the second to last move of the Dream Cup."

Chapter 47 The Starry Sky is So Beautiful

The Ferris wheel slowly rotated, allowing them to slowly rise to the highest point in the sky.

Barbatos had never actually thought of telling anyone about her desire to beat a legendary horse girl. She just wanted to change the subject so that Nebula Sky wouldn't notice her "downtime".

For some reason, she felt that if she told other people about this, they would definitely laugh at her for being naive.

But she felt that Nebula Sky would not.

Or maybe none of her friends would do that, just like when Tezuka said she wanted to be the number one horse racing girl in Japan.

At this moment, she felt Xingyun Tiankong's hand pulling her hard, "Come over here and take a look."

Xingyun Tiankong took a step forward, raised his head slightly, half-closed his eyes, put his hands on the railing, and looked at the distant sky from the edge of the Ferris wheel.

Barbatos, holding onto the hand, also took a step forward very reluctantly. She was a little worried that the Ferris wheel would tilt to one side because the two of them walked to the edge. This was a common way of thinking for her as a person with acrophobia.

It's like standing on the balcony of a high-rise building and worrying that the balcony will suddenly collapse.

Although I believe in the level of modern infrastructure and know that such a situation is impossible, my fear of heights will not reason with me. I can only silently say in my heart, "Believe in China's infrastructure! Believe in China's infrastructure! China's infrastructure is God!"

Hiss, something seems wrong, she seems to be in Japan!

"The starry sky is so beautiful tonight."

Barbatos, who was thinking about the development of Japan's infrastructure, heard the words and looked at the nebula sky. He saw her leaning on the railing with one hand, staring at the night sky outside in a daze. He could see that the night sky in the distance was cloudless and he could clearly see the stars in the night sky. Looking at the starry sky at such a high altitude was two completely different feelings from looking at it on the ground.

For a moment, Barbatos put aside his research on Japan's infrastructure project and looked at the starlight reflected in those green eyes, and at the profile with a hint of bubble teapot. It turned out that she was also nervous when her hand was held?

She was also looking at the starry sky, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on Nebula Sky's hands, instinctively echoing her words.

Murmured, "Well, the starry sky is so beautiful."

At this moment, the unshakable position of acrophobia in her heart was temporarily replaced by the beautiful scenery before her. The Ferris wheel slowly turned, and it seemed like a minute or ten minutes had passed before it returned to the starting point.

Seeing that she didn't move, Xingyun Tiankong asked, "Do you still want to sit?"

“…I’m not sitting.”

"It's almost time to go back. We have to bring some Osaka specialties back to Ulala and the others tomorrow."

"Let me correct you, this isn't my debut competition."

Xingyun Tiankong said with a bit of cunning, "If I have a share of the specialty, I might consider helping you share some of it."

Their circle of friends basically overlaps completely, including classmates Shenying, Caoshangfei, Tebi Zhou, and Shengwang Guanghuan, as well as teammates Ulala, Erguotou, Excellent Quality, Daijian Poetry Drama, Ikuno Didus, and trainer Minamisaka.

Although Uma Musume's strength is far greater than that of an adult male, and even much stronger than those of fitness coaches, she does not have to worry about not being able to lift too many specialties. However, being able to lift and whether it is convenient to lift are actually two different concepts. It would actually be much simpler if there was someone to share the burden.

"That depends on whether I can lift it or not. If I can lift it, your share will be gone."

Barbatos looked stubborn. Although they were both in Osaka, Nebula Sky would definitely be one of the specialties.

She was just a little worried that the nebula sky would see through what she said on the Ferris wheel, and she wanted to cover it up, but God had pity on her, she really thought the starry sky outside was beautiful at that time.

Just as they walked out of the Ferris wheel and were about to return to the hotel, a call suddenly rang in their ears.

"Barbatos?!"

Who was it? Some acquaintance who happened to be in Osaka? Barbatos was momentarily stunned. After all, none of her friends at Tresen Academy had mentioned coming to Osaka. If they had come to Osaka and knew about her debut competition, they would have definitely contacted her.

Could it be an acquaintance from my previous life?

I turned my head in confusion, but only saw a strange face. It was a young man who came to ride the Ferris wheel with his girlfriend.

Who...is this?

There was no such person in either her previous life's memories or her circle of friends.

"It's Barbatos indeed!"

The young man in front of him said to his girlfriend beside him with some joy, and immediately gave her a thumbs up, "You're a legend right after your debut, and both the competition and the winner's stage were amazing!"

His girlfriend, who was holding his hand, said the same thing, "We came to Osaka just to watch a game to kill time, and then come back to ride the Ferris wheel together in the evening."

"I didn't expect to see such an exciting race. The runner-up was over ten lengths ahead! This is already the most exciting junior race we've ever seen!"

Looking at these two unfamiliar faces smiling at him, recognizing him and calling out his name in the night, and praising his performance in this way, Barbatos felt that his vanity was instantly satisfied.

Compared with her familiar Chinese fans, being recognized and praised in Japan, which is so far away from her motherland, gives her a sense of accomplishment that is even greater than when she had more than 10,000 fans during the live broadcast.

This is just like her Pink Moon Ripple* (IV) Long Qi 02 Er Si Ba Shi Si also likes her as a "Japanese horse racing girl" who "loves China".

As a Umamusume with a Chinese soul, the same is true when she receives recognition and praise from Japanese audiences.

With a large fan base, she naturally felt comfortable meeting her Japanese fans in real life. She smiled and nodded, "Thank you. So you came to Osaka specifically for the Ferris wheel?"

"Yeah, my girlfriend insisted on riding the Ferris wheel here, you know~"

As he spoke, the young man shook the hand he and his girlfriend were holding, and at the same time looked at Barbatos' hand with a knowing smile.

"?"

Barbatos slowly typed a question mark. What the hell is this tacit understanding? What do I understand?

Before she could ask, the young man continued, "A couple who can hold hands and reach the highest point of the Ferris wheel in Osaka will definitely be together for life."

For singles, this kind of thing is "something only elementary school students would believe", but for those in love, it is a place they will definitely visit.

"Then we won't bother you anymore. We will definitely cheer you on in the next game!"

See the young man and his girlfriend leave.

Barbatos' eyes were a little vague for a moment, and he let go of his hand that had not been released after getting down from the Ferris wheel.

"Well, actually, I just found out about this."

Chapter 48: Plate Armor of the Dead (Part 3)

In the hotel room.

The buzzing sound of the hair dryer was heard, and Barbatos didn't know why he came over to help blow dry his hair.

Maybe he felt a little guilty, especially after hearing that the couple who went up the Ferris wheel holding hands will be together forever.

Something is wrong, something is really wrong. Why should she feel guilty?

Although it was she who suggested making a Ferris wheel, it was Xingyun Sky who suggested having handholds!

She can't be the only one to take the blame. It's clearly a problem for both of them, and she's clearly the one who suffered the most.

I'll wait until I have a girlfriend and take her to Osaka to ride the Ferris wheel. Then she'll suddenly ask, "You...how are you so skilled?"

Hiss, this must be Nebula Sky’s fault.

After debating for a while in his mind, his originally wandering gaze became firm. He looked towards the nebula sky to explain things to her, but when he saw her rosy face after taking a bath, he couldn't help but swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

She felt guilty, and she finally understood why. In fact, it had nothing to do with other things.

It's just that she seemed to be... a little greedy for the other person's body.

Barbatos, you're a slut!

She concentrated her mind and silently blew Xingyun Tiankong's hair, not knowing that Xingyun Tiankong was in a similar situation as her.

This happened after hearing what that fan of Barbatos said. They held hands and went to the highest point of the Ferris wheel... It was she who suggested that Barbatos hold his hand, and she also made such a joke when Barbatos talked about his partner.

After getting off the Ferris wheel, she did not let go of Barbatos' hand in time, which allowed her fans to see them holding hands and cause misunderstanding.

The redness that appeared on her face wasn't just due to a shower;

As for the question of whether Barbatos' fear of heights was fake, she didn't think it could be fake. Based on her understanding of Barbatos, he was really afraid of heights.

No... he's just a partner. So what if she's misunderstood by her fans? So what if she's misunderstood by Barbatos? It's not a big deal to get someone who can always help her blow dry her hair for free.

Xingyun Tiankong forced himself to calm down, but lowered his head a little. What was he thinking about?
