Uma Musume is not Kamen Rider

4. [There is more than one way forward, you need to broaden your horizons]

As the race ended, the adrenaline in her body gradually faded, and the body's warnings were transmitted to her brain, causing her to lose her strength and fall to the grass at the finish line.

"Uh-huh..."

The severe pain in his lower body made him whimper. His originally fair knees turned an unnatural red.

Come to think of it, how could an explosion of the last leg that nearly broke one's knee not be a burden on the body?

The Emperor of the East China Sea is a genius, not only because of her excellent foot adaptability, but also because of her extremely flexible knee joints.

Having knees of this level allows her to sprint in a posture that most horse girls cannot do, which is the so-called [Emperor's Dance]. [Emperor's Dance] brings a highly explosive final kick and is the emperor's strongest weapon on the field.

[Emperor's Dance] is also a double-edged sword. When using this technique, even someone like the Emperor who is born with such high knee flexibility will suffer severe wear and tear on his knees.

What Lin Mo Jingguang didn't know was that if she hadn't possessed the Emperor, the Emperor might not have been able to perform so perfectly in this match.

The price of exerting full power on the body is the pain that comes from the body at this time.

The knee felt as if someone had cut off a large piece of flesh with a knife. The cold pain was like a nimble poisonous snake biting the nerves. In just a few seconds, the body was covered in cold sweat.

"The Emperor of the East China Sea suddenly fell down! The Emperor of the East China Sea fell down! What on earth happened…"

Before the Mirror Light's consciousness was about to disappear, the commentator's almost frantic voice was heard in his ears. From the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw a strange silver and powder belt appearing around his waist. A card slipped out of the belt, and it said -

【Toukaiteio】（ps: It is the Romanization of the emperor’s name）

........................

"Trainer Okino!" Fuji Miracle called out breathlessly to Okino who was about to return to his accommodation.

"What's wrong, Miss Fuji? Why are you in such a hurry? It's getting late." Okino was a little surprised to be called suddenly, but when he saw Fuji Miracle looking anxious, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Haa... I'm so sorry to call you suddenly. Actually, I'm looking for a student now..." Fuji Miracle said anxiously.

"Long black hair... silver eyes... well-developed... a horse girl who looks like a black cat?" Okino repeated the characteristics of his junior that he learned from Fuji Miracle, but he had just got off work from Spica and didn't meet many horse girls on the way here. After all, it was already very late in the evening, and most horse girls should be resting at this time.

"Yes, yes, yes. May I ask if the trainer has seen her?"

"Feel sorry,

I don’t think I saw it.”

"Okay, I understand. Thank you very much. If you see him, could you please contact me immediately?"

"My contact information is known to all the students in Lidong Dormitory. Please! I'll be leaving now!"

"Tomorrow is your debut match, don't look for it too late."

Before Okino could finish his words, Fuji Miracle left Okino behind to continue looking for his juniors. Okino, who was left behind, scratched his head helplessly, "I don't know if she heard it."

"By the way... the horse girl with black hair, silver eyes and a cat-like figure... hiss, I seem to have seen her somewhere before." Okino took out a lollipop from his pocket and put it in his mouth, standing by the roadside, thinking hard.

Finally, after seeing his unremitting thinking, Okino successfully recalled the name of the horse girl.

"It seems to be called, copying the mirror light."

Having come up with the answer, Okino thought about it and stopped on his way home.

I'll come and help look for it too.

Having made up his mind, Okino walked into the night.

..............................

"This is the end..." Fuji Miracle breathed a sigh of relief. Several hours had passed since the dormitory building was closed. She had visited almost the entire Tresen, and the statue of the three goddesses here was the last place she had not searched.

"Woo..."

Fuji Miracle's right ear, which was wearing the ornament, moved slightly, as if he heard something.

“Could that sound just now be…!”

The sound seemed to come from near the statue. Fuji Miracle went over to take a look and happened to find the copy mirror who had just regained consciousness.

"...Good evening, little pony. What are you doing hiding in such a dark place?" Fuji Miracle bent down gently, with a gentle smile on his face, looking at the mirror light leaning against the statue.

Lin Mo Jingguang had not yet recovered from the pain in the dream, and tears were still flowing unconsciously from the corners of his eyes because of the pain.

"Eh...Fu-Fuji-senpai, why are you here...?"

Lin Mo rubbed the corners of her eyes as she just woke up, and the cold wind at night gradually calmed her spirit.

Fuji Miracle looked at the mirror light with red eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

Is she...crying secretly here?

Fuji Miracle had known Lin Mo Jingguang, a junior, at a very early time, and she was one of Lin Mo Jingguang's few good friends.

As a senior who has been with Lin Mo Jingguang since she entered school until now, she thinks she knows the personality of this naive junior very well.

In her eyes, Lin Mo Jingguang was a kind and strong horse racing girl, and Fuji Miracle had never thought that such a strong school girl would shed tears.

Sure enough, what happened in the afternoon was a huge blow to her...

Being disapproved by one's own father must be very painful no matter what...

Fuji Miracle felt something was wrong when he heard from other horse girls that Kamimitsu's father had come to school.

When Lin Mo Jing Guang was chatting with her before, he mentioned that the situation in his family was not harmonious. So when she finished her training and learned about this, she wanted to find Lin Mo Jing Guang to confirm the situation.

But when he returned to the dormitory, he found that his stupid schoolmate was nowhere to be found...

As a result, I found it now.

"My silly good school girl, look at what time it is now?"

Fuji Miracle said unhappily.

"Ah! It's eleven o'clock! The dormitory is curfew!" Lin Mo Jingguang glanced at the time on his mobile phone and couldn't help but scream.

In order to keep the horse girls in good condition every day, Tresen College usually closes at around 10 o'clock in the evening.

Eleven o'clock is far beyond the dormitory's curfew time.

“Senior, aren’t you preparing for your debut match tomorrow? How could you do that for someone like me…” Realizing that he seemed to have caused a big disaster, Lin Mo Jingguang hurriedly apologized to Fuji Miracle.

Alas... I am a junior in every way, but I think too little of myself...

Fuji Miracle sighed helplessly, and then said: "[Such a person]... Why do you say such lonely words? You are also an important partner in Tresen Academy."

"Woo!" Realizing that he seemed to have said something wrong, Lin Mo Jingguang's cheeks turned slightly red, and he made a sound like a frightened animal and hurriedly explained.

"No, Fuji-senpai, I just..."

Suddenly, I felt a fragrant breeze blowing in the mirror, and my cheek sank into a soft place.

"I heard about what happened this afternoon."

Fuji Miracle held the little head of Kagami Kagami with one hand and gently stroked Kagami Kagami's back with the other hand.

"If you feel bad, it's not a bad idea to talk to your seniors."

"……Um"

Linmu Jingguang was silent for a long time, and uttered a syllable muffled in Fuji Miracle's bosom, and the ears on his head drooped.

Fuji Miracle couldn't help but find it funny to see her acting like a sullen person.

"Hey, Kagamimitsu-chan, you know what? Actually, my original dream wasn't to run like this."

"My mother is a performer, and her acting skills are quite amazing."

"As long as she's on stage and says just one line, everyone will be drawn to her."

“After the performance, it goes without saying that the guests gave her thunderous applause. Judging from the smiles on the guests’ faces, my mother is the best performer in my mind.”

"At first, I wanted to pursue a career in the stage because I admired my mother's figure..."

"But there is always a gap between ideals and reality, isn't it? During those days when there was such a big gap, I was in great pain."

"But I was inspired by a line from my mother, and now I give it to you."

The mirror light raised its head from Fuji Miracle's arms, and even in the dim night, Fuji Miracle's eyes sparkled like sapphires.

“[There is more than one way forward, you need to broaden your horizons].”

It’s a very simple sentence, but it’s one that can easily touch people’s hearts.

Lin Mo Jingguang couldn't help holding his breath as he looked at the senior in front of him who was guiding him seriously.

The moonlight shines out from behind Fuji Miracle. Fuji Miracle's black hair looks like it is inlaid with stardust under the reflection of the moonlight. The care in his eyes is like the first sip of hot tea in winter, warming the heart.

“I followed the guidance of these words and eventually found my current path - running.”

"I have always believed that these hardships in life are just a level for everyone, and everyone will find their own way."

"Even I can do it?" Lin Mojingguang murmured softly and looked at the sapphire eyes with expectation.

"I'll definitely find it."

She couldn't help but laugh as she saw the silver eyes of the copy mirror in front of her light up again.

“Senior, you have bad intentions…” The junior who was teased puffed up his cheeks, but it did not add any intimidation, instead it made him look even cuter.

"Let's go. If you don't go back, Miss Tetsuna will lecture you."

"Hmph, anyway, I have my seniors to accompany me to be scolded~"

"Little girl, I think you are going to rebel!"

“Hahahahahahahaha—Senior! That’s a ticklish spot, no, no, hahaha—”

Under the statue of the three goddesses, the two horse girls played and fought as they set out on their journey back to the dormitory.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a man with a lollipop in his mouth was going crazy:

"Where is the copy mirror light?!"

5. There are troubles in copying Miss Jingguang

The next day, in the dormitory of Treson College, Lin Mo Jingguang was rolling on the bed in a ruthless manner.

As expected, Lin Mo Jing Guang was severely scolded.

Even now, when I think of Miss Junchuan's smiling but chilling aura, I still can't help but shudder.

Miss Junchuan is a very gentle pony girl. She often greets every pony girl passing by the entrance of Tresen College. She always faces everyone in Tresen with a smile, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

However, if you make her angry, terrible things will happen. This is a rumor circulating among the horse girls.

And Lin Mo Jing Guang has tasted the value of this rumor.

Does that kind of momentum that seems to overwhelm people really exist? Could it be that Miss Junchuan has a weird part-time job in private? This kind of outrageous momentum is not something that a normal person can have...

"Hey……"

Lin Mojingguang couldn't help but sigh.

After all, she was in the wrong as she didn't return to the dormitory at the appointed time. It was Fuji-senpai who rescued her from the statue of the Three Goddesses.

In this situation, he had no temper at all when being scolded. He was unilaterally attacked by Miss Junchuan's venomous tongue the whole time, and he didn't even talk back.

When Miss Junchuan asked why he went to the Three Goddesses Statue so late at night, Lin Mojingguang lied a little and said that he went there for a walk to relax and forgot the time.

As for why I lied... I couldn't just say that I went to the Three Goddesses Statue and overslept and missed the curfew...

How embarrassing!

But speaking of the dream I had last night...

That feeling that couldn't be more real...

Lin Mojingguang couldn't help but touch his not-so-flat chest, the heat and impulse of the dream seemed to still remain in it...

That feeling of running wildly, that passion of sprinting at full speed, that feeling of being ahead of all the other horse girls...

All of this makes copying mirror light so fascinating.

She envied the emperor's figure running freely in her dream.

The kind of figure that attracts everyone's attention like the sun, the kind that makes people feel infinite yearning just by looking at it.
