Uma Musume is not Kamen Rider

Friend... The Emperor said I was her friend...

The joy brought by this declaration made the girl's mouth curl up slightly.

She has an outstanding appearance, and this slightly raised smile is like a blooming night-blooming cereus, with a kind of breathtaking beauty.

But unfortunately, no one could enjoy this beautiful scenery at that time.

The girl raised her hand and waved in the direction of the Emperor. Mejiro McQueen, who was standing next to Deerhaired Horse Girl, saw the girl waving and quickly pulled the East Sea Emperor who was busy fighting with others.

"Emperor, stop messing around. Jingguang is greeting you."

"Eh?" The deer-haired horse girl was stunned for a moment, then saw the girl waving at her in the distance, and a smile appeared on her face.

She trotted over to the railing of the auditorium and put her hands in front of her mouth to make a trumpet shape: "The game just now was very exciting!"

Hearing her voice, Lin Mo Jingguang couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.

"Ah."

Maybe I didn't gain nothing from this game.

………………

"Eh? You're not going to participate in the winner's stage?"

Outside the stadium, three horse girls were huddled together, forming a beautiful landscape on the roadside.

Mejiro McQueen covered his mouth, looking surprised.

There was no other reason, it was mainly because what Lin Mo Jingguang said was a little beyond her expectations.

"Well, I'm not good at singing anyway, so it would be a waste of time to go."

Lin Mo Jingguang expressed his inner concerns very frankly.

"If you don't know how, I'll teach you. I'm a little confident in singing and dancing~"

The deer-haired horse girl naturally took one of the mirror-like hands into her arms and said so.

"Emperor, aren't you going to participate in the Asahi Cup soon? Have you finished the training assigned by the trainer?"

McQueen frowned and said this.

"Woo!"

As if his secrets had been spoken of, the emperor's eyes became a little erratic.

"Think about your own business before helping others." Lin Mo Jing Guang said this, ignoring the complaints from the inner destroyer, "You are the least qualified to say this." "I'll put my business aside for now. I'll just not participate in the winner's stage. The fewer times, the better. Anyway, no one will be looking forward to my singing."

“Eh——how can you say that! I’m also looking forward to Kagamimitsu-chan’s singing!”

Looking at the deer-hair ball that was holding onto one of his arms with a puffy face and a look of dissatisfaction, Lin Mo Jingguang smiled helplessly.

"Would you like to try my hand at this? The Mejiro family has a professional team responsible for training people in this area, right?"

"Don't be so exaggerated. If you are interested, I will naturally ask you, McQueen~"

"Well... now that you've mentioned that... oh! Now I remember, Emperor, don't you have something else to say to Jingguang?"

"Oh, oh, oh! Yes, yes, yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me."

The emperor's hair on his head jumped suddenly, he loosened his hand, and walked to the other side of the copying mirror.

"This is……?"

The deer-haired horse girl bent down in front of the girl.

"I'm sorry Kagami-chan."

"Eh?"

"It was my fault for what happened before, and the fracture as well... I'm sorry for making you worry."

So that was the incident...

If the emperor hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten how to copy the mirror light.

I had already become more open-minded about that matter after that conversation with the saboteur.

Her help to the Emperor was just out of her willfulness, and she was simply forcing her own desires on the Emperor.

No matter what the reason is, my desire to let her run safely and happily will not change.

As for the relationship between her and the Emperor, I thought a lot about it after that.

It's best to be friends, but there's no need to force it if not.

I was just like a bystander, and I was satisfied just watching her running happily.

But this does not mean that Lin Mo Jingguang does not want to be friends with the Emperor. She still wants to be friends with him, but she just does not take the initiative to interact with him.

"Can you... forgive me?"

The emperor remained bent over, his voice trembling a little, and by copying the mirror light, one could seem to imagine his uneasy expression.

"What are you talking about forgiveness?" Lin Mojingguang put his hand on the emperor's head and rubbed it gently, "Have you forgotten what you just said?"

The emperor obediently accepted the caress of the mirror light, and the comfortable feeling from his head made the ponytail behind the girl swing back and forth.

"What did you say?"

"That sentence after the game~"

Looking at the dazed look of the Emperor of the East China Sea, Lin Mo Jingguang laughed out loud.

"I'm your friend. What's the big deal between friends? If you have to say something, I should apologize to you. I shouldn't have just walked away like that."

The emperor listened to the clear sound of the mirror whispering in his ears, and a smile he had never seen before appeared on his face.

It was as if an inexplicable electric current passed through her heart, and the deer-haired horse girl shuddered violently, breaking free from the pat on the head by the mirror-like light.

"I, I know there's a new dessert shop that opened recently! It's said to be very popular. Let's go check it out together!"

The emperor turned his back to the copying mirror. At an angle where the copying mirror could not see the light, a faint blush appeared on the emperor's face.

"Dessert shop! Where is the dessert shop?!" When Mubai McQueen heard this, a gleam of light seemed to flash in his eyes.

"Does McQueen like desserts so much?" Lin Mo Jingguang was a little surprised.

“Hehe, aren’t desserts a treasure from God? The sweet taste will magically make the fatigue from training disappear once you eat them~”

"That's true..." Looking at McQueen, who exuded a master's aura when talking about desserts, Copy Mirror wiped the non-existent sweat from his head.

"If you eat too much, you will get fat—"

The Emperor quietly hid behind McQueen and whispered this in his ear.

The horse girl, who had just exuded a fighting spirit, suddenly wilted as if struck by lightning.

"Getting fat or something like that, no, that's impossible! As long as you control the amount of food you eat, that won't happen!"

"That's right, I usually eat a lot of these things, and I really can't gain weight. How about Kagami-chan?"

"Huh? I don't usually control it, I don't know why I just can't gain weight."

"..."

Listening to what the two said, a certain rice cake slowly turned gray as if petrified.

27. Parasitic Shadow

The endless white plain was so empty that it seemed as if nothing existed.

Where is this? The girl didn't understand.

She just knew that she was here when she woke up.

The girl walked aimlessly on the plain, like a lone traveler in the wilderness.

The place looked bare and the ground was soft.

The girl looked down at the ground and saw her feet sinking into it.

It's snow.

The girl thought so.

The warm sun was hanging over the plain, which made the girl feel a little warmth on this white plain full of snow.

It's so strange. There is snow everywhere here, but I can't feel the slightest bit of winter chill.

"Tread, step, step..."

The sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground could be heard in the distance. The crisp sound echoed across the plain, like a gentle knock on the girl's heart.

That is?

The girl narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from. A black dot was slowly approaching at the end of the plain.

There came a familiar and friendly feeling from there, which made people feel at ease.

If I were to describe it using a metaphor, maybe it would be the feeling of being in your mother’s arms?

It's too far away, you have to get closer to see it clearly.

The girl thought so and took a step closer to find out what was going on.

But before the girl could take a few steps, something strange happened.

The vast plain suddenly shook violently. The flat ground was like a dragon turning over. The twisted cross-section formed towering faults that chased the girl from all directions.

The girl was a little overwhelmed; the sudden change was beyond her expectations.

She looked in the direction of the black spot and found that it was expanding in her field of vision at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That looks like a person?

This was the girl's last thought before she was buried by the fault made of snow.

"boom!"

The faults were about to merge into one, and just before the girl's body was swallowed up, a flash of green light appeared at her waist.

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

"Boom!"

"It hurts!"

Lin Mojingguang rubbed his head which he had just hit and made a meaningless groan of pain.

"Woo..."

I never thought that I would experience such close contact with the floor while sleeping.

Ah... my head hurts...

It's not just the physical pain, I don't know why I always feel like my mental state isn't very good either.

Imitating the light of the mirror, I can never get it right.

But no matter how bad her condition was, she had to get up. Staying in bed was not a good habit.

The girl opened the curtains in the room, letting the sunlight outside in.

Several days had passed since the end of the competition, and she had taken a good vacation.

The fatigue accumulated from the competition was also relieved a lot during the two-day holiday.

The prize money for the competition was also deposited into the account that I had registered for the competition in advance.

The amount of bonus received was more than expected. Since Lin Mo Jing Guang himself did not have much extra expenses, he saved a lot of it.

In a sense, she can now be called a rich woman (?)

But money is just an external thing to her, and it is enough to satisfy her daily life.

Speaking of daily life, I haven't been doing nothing these past two days while copying mirror light.

After the game, she told Airi Hayabusa about her story in detail.

As for why I had to tell Airi Hayabusa... after all, she looked very smart in her white coat (not really).

But in fact, among all the horse girls that Kagami Mitsuki knows, Airi Hayabusa is the only one who seems to believe her outrageous stories.
