Uma Musume is not Kamen Rider

"who are you?"

Lin Mo Jingguang climbed up from the bed and looked at the horse girl in the mirror with vigilant eyes. She looked exactly like her.

"Who am I? I am a part of you~ my dear Jingguang~"

"…part of me?"

"You can call me the Destroyer. This is a good name given to me by the audience at the debut match today~"

"Debut match? So you're the one who's going to take my body today?!"

"Don't say that~"

The destroyer looked at the slightly tense face of the copy mirror. She knew that the girl was a little angry, so she explained.

"The main reason why I can use your body today is not me, but it~"

The destroyer pointed at the thing on the waist of the copy mirror and said so.

"belt?"

"Yes, it did. I am just a pitiful little personality in your body. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't even be born, let alone occupy your body."

Was it really the belt that did it?

Although she had some guesses in her dreams, this was the first time she heard this guess from someone else.

Maybe what she said was true?

"It's true~ I'm not the kind of person who likes to lie~"

"?!"

Can this guy hear my thoughts?!

"Of course. After all, we both use the same body. It's just that the dominance is different."

The destroyer said with a smile, his raised toes trembling slightly, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"...I understand the general situation. Why are you sure it was the belt that did it?"

"It must be the belt. Don't you think about where the only abnormal part of your body is?"

"And I know more about belts than you do~"

The destroyer paused, and seeing the puzzled look in Lin Mojingguang's eyes, he slowly began to explain.

"I was born because of the power of the belt, and it is normal to be exposed to the power of the belt during the birth process. It is not strange that I know more about this than you~"

"Although I didn't get much knowledge from analyzing that power, I know that this is what you need most right now~"

"..." Lin Mo Jingguang remained silent. She didn't know why the destroyer was so eager to help him. She felt a little uncomfortable with this inexplicable kindness.

She wasn't good at dealing with that type of person.

"Don't think like that. Helping you is also helping myself, so from the perspective of this action itself, there is nothing wrong with it."

Looking at the saboteur's grinning face, it seems there's no way to find out the reason.

"up to you……"

"Then let me introduce your belt~"

"Do you know [Knight]?"

updated

There will be another update in the evening

Yesterday, madmad broke my defense.

I always like Umamusume ()

45. The so-called "Knight"

"Do you...know the Knight?"

"Knight? What's that? The kind of knight from the Middle Ages who wears an iron helmet and wields a sword?"

“It’s not that simple~”

"enmmm"

There was a mirror placed there, and the destroyer couldn't help laughing as he looked at the girl who was racking her brains to think.

"Does Kamen Rider know~?"

"The one on TV that transforms into a carrot?"

Lin Mojingguang's expression looked a little strange, and he raised his inner guess.

"Bingo~ You got it right~ But you can't transform just by holding a carrot, you need a belt~"

"If you hold the belt and transform, you become a knight?"

“Generally speaking, it’s like this~”

The destroyer answered Mirror Light's question with a smile.

"But I prefer another explanation."

"Anyone who fights for the beliefs they hold dear is considered a knight, regardless of whether they have a reason or not~"

"Is a strong and confident horse girl like the president also a knight?"

"To be able to achieve such a great achievement, President Rudolph must have his own beliefs in his heart."

"If she fights for that belief, then it's not an exaggeration to call her a knight~"

"What if the belief they hold on to is not good? Will the knights still persist?"

"Of course. According to the memories I analyzed from the power of the belt, not all knights are necessarily partners of justice like in TV dramas like Kamen Rider."

"It's not about protecting the world, it's about protecting the people you care about and saving the world by the way."

"There is also a person who destroyed an entire era in order to become king."

"There are also people whose existence is not tolerated by the world."

"These men are knights."

“They have good and bad sides, but they still persevere in their hearts and reach the end of the road under their feet.”

"This is what I understand as a knight."

"You seem to like knights very much, my other self."

The mirror light looked at the destroyer's increasingly shining black eyes as he introduced the knight, and couldn't help but say.

“Isn’t it normal for people who stick to their beliefs to be liked by others?”

"Even if someone insists on a wrong belief, it is admirable to stick to it to the end, isn't it~"

"It's better to like these people than to like those who talk behind others' backs."

The Destroyer answered even more decisively, saying that she preferred groups like the Knights to those who liked to look down on others at will.

"But weren't you like this in your debut competition before..."

Although Lin Mo Jingguang didn't finish her words, the Destroyer already understood what she wanted to say.

"Let's not talk about whether I am a knight or not. Even if I am a knight, then giving those guys who look down on me a kick in the face should be my belief."

"If there is any other belief..."

In the perspective of copying the mirror light, the destroyer stopped explaining and just stared at himself blankly.

For a moment, the two fell into silence.

But this situation did not last long, and the girl asked the next question to break the dull atmosphere.

"Why did the belt choose me?"

“That’s a good question. I don’t know either.”

"what?"

"I've already said that I only know a little more than you, but that's just a little bit. There are many things that I don't understand myself."

"Damn it, can the other me do something useful? Why can't I do anything when I ask the key questions?"

"I have my difficulties too~" The Destroyer stuck out his tongue. Looking through the mirror, it was hard to imagine that the horse girl who was like a runaway machine on the track and the horse girl who was sticking out her tongue and acting cute in the mirror were the same person.

"You don't have a split personality, do you?"

"How is it possible~ How is it possible that such an incredible thing could exist~"

To be honest, your existence itself is incredible...

"Since you don't know the answer to this question, let's move on to the next one."

"What exactly is that dream? What are the conditions for entering it?"

Both of these questions were very important to her. The former was related to whether the emperor's body was safe, and the latter was that the girl did not want to experience being forced into that dream before the game again.

That feeling of powerlessness is terrible.

"Um……"

The destroyer thought for a moment, as if analyzing something.

"That dream... maybe it's a parallel world..."

The black horse girl in the mirror began to sweat a little bit on her forehead...

"...The scene that was picked out of the dream seemed to be bound to happen."

"In a dream, you can obtain the cards and powers of the protagonist in the corresponding dream... Woo!"

"Are you...are you okay? You look very bad now..."

"No, it's okay. It's just that the side effects of analyzing the power of the belt are a bit strong..."

In the mirror, the black horse girl had a frown on her face, her black pupils were flashing with light, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her body was trembling slightly.

I don't know when the crossed legs were put down, only the destroyer's cold voice remained unchanged.

"The condition for entering the dream state is to participate in large, large quantities of or extremely high-intensity competitions over a period of time..."

"...No, I can't change the future of the dream... Otherwise...something bad...will happen...Ah!"

The destroyer in the mirror seemed to have reached its limit. It let out a scream and fainted.

When the destroyer fainted, he saw the scene in the mirror in front of him blur and then turned into his current posture.

"Is that guy okay?"

Lin Mo Jingguang murmured a little worriedly. To be honest, the destroyer's expression did not look very optimistic in the end.

Recalling what the destroyer had just said, the girl seemed to understand something.

So a large number of competitions is the condition that triggers dreams...?

She thought back to what she had done before her debut competition...

I trained and competed with Necha... I competed again with Emperor and the others... I also had a sparring session with the president...

It seems like a bit too much.

In less than half a month, she had already experienced three extremely high-intensity competitions.

[Muscles are strained everywhere, and the ligaments in your knees are damaged. I don’t know what kind of running method you used to keep going until now.]

The girl suddenly recalled what Senior Airi Hayako had said about her, and she wiped the non-existent sweat from her head.

Well, it seems that I have gone a bit too far...

"But there are more concerning things..."

Is it impossible to change the future fixed by dreams?

Is it as if something bad will happen if you are changed?
