Uma Musume is not Kamen Rider

The saboteur looked at the peaceful expression on the mirror light's face as he lay on the hospital bed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"So how are you going to deal with the emperor's affairs?"

"How should I deal with this...? What do you think?"

Turning his head to reveal his silver eyes buried in the quilt, he asked back.

"Of course I agree. Anyway, our goal is to protect the Emperor. If we want her to finish her run safely, then removing the parasitic shadow is inevitable."

The saboteur spoke out all that was in his mind.

"Well……"

Lin Mojingguang turned over on the bed, facing up and staring at the ceiling.

"Do you remember what I said before?"

After thinking for a while, the destroyer answered.

"That thing about wanting to become a knight?"

"Yeah, didn't I say I wanted to become a knight then?"

"Ah."

"And then, did you see any knights running away from the memories in your belt? Probably not."

“……”The destroyer fell silent.

"You know what? In my dream, I turned into a knight and fought with another knight~"

"That sounds a bit bad."

"I think so too, but do you know what the worst thing is?"

"Is the opponent too strong?"

"No, it's that I didn't even fully utilize the power of my armor. This is the most fatal thing."

"I put my hand on the belt, and instead of feeling the comfort I felt when I transformed before, I felt a strong sense of rejection."

"That belt is rejecting me. It's denying my qualifications as a knight."

Staring at the ceiling, the pain I felt when my hand touched the belt came to my mind.

"At that moment I understood that I was indeed not a knight, but just an ordinary person who used the belt to transform. If I changed the belt, I would not be able to fully exert its power."

"Some people are born to be knights, and I am obviously not one of them..."

The girl's voice was a little low, and her depressed mood even affected the destroyer a little.

"Mirror light..."

"I'm not a knight. I've understood. Maybe it's a miracle that I can exert the power of the belt now. Maybe I might lose this power in the next second..."

The girl raised her hands and opened them towards the ceiling.

"But I'm not going to give up on becoming a knight."

"Maybe I'm not born a knight, but can't I be a knight who becomes one later in life?"

“A knight is kind and upright, and never gives up hope even in desperate situations… I want to be that kind of person.”

The girl slowly closed her open palm, as if finally confirming her feelings, and closed her eyes.

"I won't give up on something just because someone denies me. If I had given up so easily because of someone else's denial, I probably wouldn't have gotten to where I am today."

“So I’m not going to give up.”

"Whether it's saving the Emperor."

"It's about becoming a knight."

"I want it all!"

Firm determination seemed to overflow from those silver eyes.

The destroyer listened to these words, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and hummed an unknown tune softly.

Maybe this is why I like this child so much.

In the daytime ward, the warm midday sun quietly slipped in through the window, and a layer of golden gauze covered the black horse girl lying on her back on the snow-white bed. Her already beautiful appearance was given an even more sacred feeling by the passing of this layer of golden sand.

Beside her, a black, blurry shadow stood there, humming a tune in a doting voice, like a godfather praying for a saint in a church...

For a moment, the scene was picturesque.

"again and again."

The sound of a plastic bag falling to the ground came from the door of the ward. The two people in the ward broke the state that was like a famous painting and looked towards the door of the ward.

There, a horse girl with brown hair in a sister's hairstyle, a circle of princess braids around her head, and her hair in front of her forehead dyed white stood there.

The pure eyes like purple gems stared straight at Lin Mo Jing Guang, which made Lin Mo Jing Guang feel very uncomfortable.

Ugh, what's with this perverted look?

Wait, this guy's face seems to me...

"This is the junior you met before~"

The destroyer with an absurdly good memory kindly reviewed the copy of the mirror light.

"Especially classmate Zhou?"

After being reminded by the vandal, Lin Mo Jing Guang suddenly remembered the visitor's name.

"Eh?"

Te Bie Zhou seemed to have not yet recovered from the scene just now. He looked so silly that people couldn't help but like him.

"What's wrong? Why are you standing there in a daze?"

Lin Mojingguang said this expressionlessly.

Social phobia mode, on!

"Oh...?! Lin, Lin Mo Jingguang-senpai, I'm here to visit you!"

The brown-haired Ma Niang quickly picked up the plastic bag that had just fallen on the ground and handed it to Lin Mo Jingguang.

Red bean bread, strawberry cake, takoyaki, grilled dumplings...

Why are they all food?!

Today's class is full, there is only one chapter, and three chapters will be made up tomorrow

52. Complain with the younger generation

“Why are they all…”

The corners of his mouth were slightly distorted, and even the light from the copy mirror, which was in the paralyzed mode specially designed for social phobia, could not withstand it.

No, you bought so many?

I took a quick glance and found that in addition to the big bag Zhou had just given me, there was actually another bag hidden behind my back...

That yellow color...is radish.

As if he noticed the look in the mirror, he stepped back suddenly, his pupils contracted, his mouth slightly opened, looking like a puppy protecting its food.

Looking at her appearance in the mirror, I always felt like the voice of "あげません" was ringing in my ears. I couldn't help but shook my head and laughed out loud.

"Especially Zhou, you really like radishes~"

"Of course! Eating more radishes can restore your strength."

"I won't steal your carrots, okay? There's no need to retreat so far, okay?"

Looking at Te Bie Zhou's energetic appearance, Lin Mo Jing Guang blinked and just thought it was fun.

"Eh? You don't know how to rob? But I heard from classmate Huang Jinchuan that you like to catch people and beat them up and then take away their food..."

Looks like someone needs an education (rubbing fists).

"So that's why you bought me so much food?"

"Woo..."

Seeing Te Bie Zhou's aggrieved look, it was clear to Lin Mo Jing Guang what was going on.

I've decided that next time I see the Golden Ship, I must give her a punch.

"Okay, okay, I'll take the food."

He stood up from the hospital bed, picked up the big bag of food that Te Bie Zhou brought and placed it in the corner of the room.

"So what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Mojingguang habitually put on a blank face and asked.

There's nothing I can do about it. This is what poor social skills look like. I always talk to people with a sullen face.

But in fact, that was just because she didn't know what expression to use when talking to people.

Perhaps the girl could show her true playful side in front of acquaintances, but the junior in front of her, whom she had only met once, obviously could not be counted as an acquaintance.

"Thank you so much for what happened that day, Senior. If it weren't for you, I would probably still be wasting my time wandering around in school..."

The short brown and black bangs hung down in front of the forehead, but they could not hide the particularly serious look in his eyes.

"Well, it's just pointing the way. It's no big deal. Anyone else can show you the right way."

"I still have to thank you, Senior. When I was in my hometown, my mother taught me to express my gratitude when I received help from others, so today I came here specially to express my gratitude!"

He is indeed a good kid...

"But hometown...where is Xiao Te from?"

"Hokkaido~ It takes a long time to get here by car. Senior looks thoughtful. Could it be that you are also a horse girl from there?"

"Well, my hometown is also in Hokkaido..."

"Eh?! Is this true? Does that mean that Senior and I can go back together during the holidays?"

"Well, I've been living in Tokyo for the past few years and haven't been back home much, so your idea, Spey-chan, may not work, you know?"

Lin Mo Jingguang herself didn't notice that after hearing that Te Te Zhou was also from Hokkaido, she subconsciously called her name the more intimate Spei-chan.

"That's a pity. I thought it would be nice to go back with my senior..."

The ears on his head drooped, and Zhou Teji was twirling two fingers in front of him shyly.

"Well... maybe I'll go back someday, then let's go together~"

"Uh-huh!"

Speaking of Hokkaido, her thoughts went far away. She used to have a friend like this there.

They can be said to be childhood sweethearts, or good girlfriends. They have lived together since they were young and are carefree all day long.

Her childhood sweetheart arrived at the center before her and seemed to have made a name for herself...

If we follow the unspoken rule in Uma Musume that seniority is used to determine who is promoted based on when they debuted, then shouldn't she call her friend "senior"?

It's a bit weird.

"As expected~"

"Ok?"

"As expected, you are a special horse girl~"

No, no, no, how can you tell the word "special"?

“It’s in all kinds of places!”

As if he could predict Lin Mo Jing Guang's inner thoughts, Te Yi Zhou answered like this.

"Senior, do you know? I went to watch the Fantasy Special Prize Game!"

"That last kick was so impressive. He was able to increase the speed to that level... It was really amazing!"
