Uma Musume is not Kamen Rider

"I obviously hoped that the championship would be such a good competition, but I put on such an ugly performance in it. I must have broken the hearts of many fans..." The two little pony ears on the top of his head drooped listlessly, and his head gradually lowered.

Sometimes it is like this, once you start to blame yourself, those bad memories will come to your mind one after another, like overlapping waves, making it difficult to breathe.

The aura of the Holy King's Halo was declining at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Although she didn't cry, the tragic defeat still left an indelible mark in her heart.

“…I have failed everyone’s expectations. Can I really continue running?”

She revealed her inner confusion. The aura of the Holy King disguised as a young lady was now just that of an ordinary little girl.

Suddenly, Saint King Halo felt someone pulling him, and the next second he felt a warm and soft touch on his face.

"Eh?"

Saint King Halo's brain went into a state of shutdown on the spot, and he felt a little overwhelmed by the sudden change.

I don't know when, Lin Mo Jingguang had moved his body and pulled Saint King Halo, who was sitting at the head of the bed, into his arms.

Saint King Halo's cheek was buried in Lin Mo Jingguang's soft chest. Just when she shyly reacted and was about to struggle, Lin Mo Jingguang stretched out his free hand and gently rubbed her head.

"Can I call you Xiao Huan?"

Feeling the soft touch on his head, Saint King Halo's body, which was ready to struggle, suddenly relaxed.

How can I refuse this situation, you bastard...

"……Um."

With his face buried in the girl's bosom, Saint King Halo let out a muffled groan.

"First of all, I want to say sorry. It was indeed my fault that I didn't notice Xiao Huan during the competition. No matter what, we can't forget that Xiao Huan also participated, right?"

The crisp sound of the mirror light was like a breeze blowing past the ears, and the gentle massage from the top of the head gradually relaxed the spirit of the Holy King Halo.

"…I just performed so badly."

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, doesn't he?"

"Then my mistake was too big..."

"Then why don't we try not to make such a mistake next time~"

"But what if I'm wrong again next time?"

"Then keep working on revising it."

"But I have so many people's expectations, and I failed to live up to their expectations and still made mistakes..."

"So what? You can't possibly meet everyone's expectations. If you were to meet everyone's expectations, you would be exhausted. Who do you think you are? Are you some superhero running onto the set?"

"Then what do you expect of me, Jingguang?"

"me?"

Lin Mojingguang was stunned for a moment, and the moment in his dream where the emperor's feet turned into a bloody mess flashed by in his mind.

She paused, then spoke.

"You can keep running safely, this is my only hope~"

Good night, by the way, please give me some votes.

93. Partner

"You hope I can run safely... but you don't hope I can run better?"

With his cheek pressed against the softness of the mirror, the Holy King's halo voice felt a little lost.

"It's a good thing to run well, but I hope you're healthy after the race, rather than lying on a hospital bed like me, with my legs hurting when I move. It's so embarrassing."

He gave a wry smile while looking at his legs in the mirror, feeling helpless.

He was still thinking about protecting the emperor, but ended up falling into the Cup of Hope first.

"Your safety is more important than winning any championship."

Lin Mo Jingguang's words made the Saint King's Halo struggle out of its warm embrace.

Holy King Halo straightened up and stared at the black-haired horse girl who said this in a daze.

She noticed something unusual.

Lin Mo Jingguang is an abnormal horse girl. She has known this for a long time, but she has never known what exactly is abnormal about her.

However, it was the words that just came from the heart of Copy Mirror Light that made the Saint King's Halo seem to have grasped a clue that could reveal the true Copy Mirror Light.

The horse girl in front of him seemed to have a very strange desire to win.

Her usual conversation revealed that she didn't care about the competition, but she was a completely different person during the competition.

The strong sense of disharmony caused by the separation filled the heart of Saint King Halo, and finally, she couldn't help but ask.

"Jingguang, do you think the outcome of the game is important?"

Saint King Halo regretted the moment he blurted out the words. How could one suddenly ask someone a question directly? This was too straightforward.

Just when Saint King Guanghuan was secretly annoyed that he was too straightforward, Lin Mo Jingguang had already answered.

"The outcome of the game... that kind of thing should be very important."

"Should?" Noticing the hesitation in his tone, Saint King Halo repeated.

"Because think about it, we horse girls are born to run. Running is the most precious treasure for us, and winning the race is the best way for us to taste the beauty of this treasure..."

"But is running the only precious beauty in this world for us horse girls?"

"Of course it is..."

"Of course there are other precious things," Lin Mo Jing Guang raised his hand to interrupt Saint King Halo's intention to interrupt, and then continued, "A hug from a friend, the love of an elder, a child's smile..."

"There are so many things worth cherishing, and the game is just a small part of it."

"There's an old saying that horse girls are born to run, and everyone believes that."

“But I feel differently.”

"If a horse girl is born for the purpose of competition, and she trains herself step by step, defeats her opponents time and time again to reach the top, and her blood boils when she holds the trophy, then that is naturally very good."

"But what if she didn't?"

"Having lost the meaning of life, running and competition, what is left for her? Just like a candle that has burned out, all that is left are the ashes that have not been dispersed. Is there a chance to light it again?"

"I don't want competition to be the only thing in my life, so I don't take winning or losing too seriously. Of course, if I can win the competition, I will try my best to win. After all, I don't hate the feeling of winning. But even if I fail, I won't be discouraged, because..."

Having said this, the black-haired horse girl paused, her mirror-colored eyes flashing with a clear light, that light was like a meteor that streaked through the darkness, making the Saint King Halo unable to take his eyes off it.

"——You can live safely by my side, which is my greatest treasure."

The crisp sound was like a stone thrown into the Saint King's heart, which was as calm as a deep pool, causing ripples.

The idea of ​​Lin Mo Jing Guang deeply shook her heart. The impact of these words on her was even more shocking than the time when Lin Mo Jing Guang told her after the game that he wanted to be her cheerleader.

The girl who said these words at this time was like the warm sun in the eyes of the Holy King Halo, so warm that people couldn't help but want to stay by her side.

Wake up, you are talking about the kotatsu.

But then again, for Jingguang, the most precious things are her companions. So for me, what is the most precious thing for me?

Is it about the race? Is it about winning the treble? Is it about running past the mirror?

None.

When I ask myself honestly, I find that every answer I give myself is ruthlessly rejected by myself.

At this time, the Holy King's halo is not able to give an answer that reflects his true inner thoughts like the light of a mirror.

Not everyone can immediately answer what they want. This requires some time to think.

But it is also possible that you already know what the answer is, but are unwilling to admit that that is what you want.

Whether the Holy King's Halo is the former or the latter, only she herself knows.

"Sorry...I said some unnecessary words."

Seeing Saint King Halo's silence, Lin Mo Jingguang subconsciously wondered if his long-winded speech had been annoying, and he quickly apologized.

"It's okay. I think the doubts in my heart have been answered."

Saint King Halo shook his head.

"what?"

"That's enough for today. I have to go to training this afternoon. In order to make a safe move, I need to do more training."

"Well, come on."

"But I'll still bring chicken soup tomorrow, okay?"

"Eh? That's too much trouble for you..."

"Nothing. I just want to practice my cooking skills. I'll feed you chicken soup as a regular customer to help me test the taste."

"I'm a very picky person, right? But don't blame me for being merciless~"

"Just come at me! Am I afraid of this?"

Inside the ward, the two horse girls exchanged glances and laughed in unison.

"See you tomorrow then?"

"See you tomorrow~"

Wow—bang!

After closing the door of the ward, Saint King Halo stood at the door of the ward, staring at the nameplate with Lin Mo Jing Guang's name on it, and blinked.

"She is indeed a very gentle horse girl..."

If she hadn't been so gentle, perhaps she would still be stuck in an unknown quagmire.

"I hope to win the championship..."

Jingguang has already won the G1 level victory, so in order to get closer to her, should I also challenge the G1 event again?

That light shattered my figure in the dark, and I couldn't let her run alone.

"Wait for me, Jingguang."

"I will catch up with you and become a partner you can trust!"

94. Mutations hidden in the body

pedal, pedal, pedal...

Leaning on a cane, he moved laboriously, copying the light in the mirror.

Because her right foot was fractured, it was put in a cast. Now she can only move forward by supporting her body with two crutches in her hands.

To be honest, this way of moving is not only laborious, but also not very fast. If it is not necessary, Lin Mo Jingguang does not want to meet people in this posture.

If conditions permit, she would rather lie on her hospital bed, take a lazy rest for a while, and try to recover as soon as possible.

But things didn't go as planned, and now something happened that forced her to leave the hospital on crutches...

"I don't know what Dad is doing..."

As if complaining, Linmu Jingguang muttered Linmu Zhengyi's name.

She is now going to the detention center to pick up her father.

"What did he do to land himself in the detention center? Was he drunk? That's impossible. Dad doesn't like to drink..."

Lin Mo Jingguang was puzzled. To be honest, when she learned from Rudolph's special call that her father was in the detention center, she was very shocked.
