Uma Musume is not Kamen Rider

"How about the coffee here? It's good, right?" Looking at the man who was grabbing the coffee cup and drinking vodka in one gulp, Huang Jinchuan said with a wink.

"It tastes good, but didn't you bring me here to work?" Vodka put down the cup and looked at the interior structure of the maid cafe.

The decoration of the store has the style of a medieval tavern, and with the round wooden tables, it gives people the illusion of traveling to another world.

As expected, it is a store recommended by Golden Ship...

Another world style plus maids? Does anyone really like this type of store?

"I happen to know the owner of this store. It just so happens that you are worried about shoes. It's good to come here to work."

"That's true."

Vodka overexerted himself during training a few days ago and ruined a pair of shoes.

Uma Musume’s running shoes are usually specially made.

Since the force generated by the footsteps of horse racing women when exercising is much greater than that of ordinary humans, the wear and tear on their shoes is also very great.

In order to protect the horse girl's feet and extend the service life of the shoes, the horse girl's shoes are generally made of special materials.

I won’t go into details about what special materials are used, you just need to know that this material is very expensive.

Generally, a normal horse racing girl needs to change her shoes every few weeks. This is the normal lifespan of special running shoes.

But Vodka is different. The power of her footsteps is much greater than that of ordinary horse girls, and correspondingly, the wear and tear on her shoes is also quite great.

She changes her shoes basically every two weeks.

Although the price of running shoes at Tresen College is much cheaper than outside the college, it cannot withstand the high frequency of consumption of vodka.

After a few months, the expenses for running shoes alone successfully emptied Vodka's wallet.

She is not like those debut horse girls who can win huge prize money by winning a game.

Forced to make a living, Vodka had no choice but to work.

"But... isn't the maid costume a little too..."

"Of course maids have to wear maid outfits in a maid cafe! A maid cafe without maid outfits is just a lie!"

"But my temperament is not suitable for this kind of clothes..."

Vodka touched his short brown hair, his gray eyes filled with hesitation.

"What's this thing called temperament? Just wait and see."

After Huang Jinchuan finished speaking, he stood up from his seat and ran to the backstage of the cafe, looking very anxious.

"What?"

Vodka was left alone, enduring the stares of the shop assistant and maid, making confused sounds.

After a while, a tall figure walked out from the backstage.

Her delicate, fair skin is as smooth as jade, her clear, transparent purple eyes contain a mysterious luster, her facial features are as exquisite as if they were carefully carved by God, her long gray hair is casually draped behind her, adding a touch of cool temperament, and the black and white maid uniform outlines the girl's enchanting figure to the fullest.

This... who is this?

Vodka looked at the Umamusume in a maid outfit not far away from him, and a possibility gradually emerged in his mind...

No way?

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible, right?

It can't be true, right?

"Yellow...Golden Ship?"

Vodka asked a little uncertainly.

The quiet horse racing girl suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"That's right! It's this golden ship!"

Vodka, petrochemical.

"See, Vodka! This is the charm of a maid costume! Do you understand the value of a maid costume? Do you understand?"

The Golden Ship laughed loudly, and the peaceful appearance just now seemed like a dream.

"Ah...ah..."

Vodka uttered the syllables stupidly. The shock just now made her temporarily lose the ability to think.

Why does this guy look so good when he takes off his headphones and doesn't talk?!

Why did she, who looked like a young lady, become like this? !

"Kukuku, Vodka, are you shocked by my beautiful maid uniform?"

"Hmm..." Although I don't want to admit it, the golden ship does look pretty good without saying anything at this moment.

"So have you also thought about wearing some?"

“…Yeah.” To be honest, deep down I still want to wear it a little bit.

Just like boys always want to see themselves in women's clothing, Vodka also wanted to see himself in maid clothing...

After all, the Golden Ship looks so good when worn, if it were me, maybe...

"There's no time to lose, go put it on!"

"Eh?! Now?!"

"Without further delay, of course it's now!"

While Vodka was not paying attention, the Golden Ship went around behind him and lifted Vodka up with both hands.

Golden Ship's height is considered tall among the horse girls, and it is easy for her to lift a bottle of vodka with both hands.

"Put me down! I can walk by myself!"

"Put it on first!"

"Put me down first!"

"I told you to put it on first..."

Just as the two were fighting in close combat, Vodka's arm struggled over his head, and his elbow made close contact with Golden Ship's eyes.

“Eyes…! My eyes! Hmm, Hmmmmmm!!”

Without bothering to continue grabbing Vodka, Golden Ship covered her eyes and rolled on the floor of the coffee shop, attracting strange looks from other maids in the store.

Why is this guy rolling on the ground wearing our store's maid uniform?

Vodka could read it in their eyes.

Even though Vodka was considered thick-skinned, he felt uneasy at this moment and quickly went backstage to change clothes.

As for the golden ship rolling on the ground?

Who is it? I don't know him.

The golden boat rolled on the floor for a long time before slowly coming to a stop.

She rubbed her red eyes, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, and she looked surprisingly touching.

"Can't you be more serious? You're scaring away all the customers."

"Wow, Shining-chan, Vodka is bullying me, wow..."

"Deserved it."

The black maid said so, her blue eyes full of helplessness.

Ever since the top maid in his shop made her debut, his business has declined a lot.

Originally, she planned to bring in the Golden Ship and see if she could save her performance by relying on the Golden Ship's appearance.

But what she didn't expect was that the beauty of the Golden Ship was entirely based on her silence.

Looking at the Ash-haired horse girl who showed her facial expressions because of one of his words.

Rong Jin Shining sighed.

It's really hard to find a maid with a good personality and good looks these days...

I discussed with the artist today and took a picture of Jingguang’s character design.

The finished product should be available this Sunday.

55. Encounter in the store

Jingle bell~

“Welcome~”

Ignoring Huang Jinchuan who was making facial expressions, Rong Jin Shanyao immediately switched from his daily state to work state upon hearing the sound of the store doorbell, with a standard formulaic smile for receiving customers appearing on his face.

She is very clear about her working time and rest time.

"Hello, store manager."

The horse girl with long black hair said so.

"How come you still remember to come back?" Rong Jinshan saw the face of the visitor, and the formal smile on her face immediately fell off. She stretched out her hand and gently pinched the cheek of the visitor, then said, "What brought you, a busy person, here? My dear top-ranked Sang?"

Lin Mo Jingguang scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I came back to see you, Shining Senior~"

"It's no use trying to be nice. You abandoned our store and left without telling me. If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'll pull your ears off!"

Fuji Miracle's hand touched the black horse ears on the top of the mirror's head, as if to pull off the soft things.

"I just want to have a debut battle. After all, I am a horse girl, right?"

"My debut competition is my debut competition, but it's not good for you to leave without saying goodbye. Your regular customers in the store are almost holding kitchen knives to ask me where you went."

"Sorry for the trouble!"

Copying Jingguang's bow decisively, she brought trouble to the store, which was something she had not expected at the beginning.

Since a mistake has been made, an apology is necessary.

"Hehe~why don't you introduce your friends?"

After Rong Jinshanyao heard Lin Mojingguang's apology, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, and he felt happy.

"Ah, look at my memory. This is Tebi Zhou, my junior, and this is Tamamo Cross, my childhood sweetheart."

"Please take care of me...!" Te Bie Zhou was obviously a little nervous, and his voice was trembling.

After all, she came from the countryside, and maid cafes were too stimulating for her.

"Ah."

Behind Te Bie Zhou, the short reed-haired horse girl responded in a low voice, with no expression on her face, looking a little listless.

"Well, I brought my friends here today to show my support. How is it? I have deep feelings for this store, don't I~"

"Don't be so ungrateful, girl. Because of your support, I'll give you 20% off on vegetables and eggs today. Don't say that the store manager doesn't give you face, okay?"

"I know~ Manager Shining is the best~"

The mirror light blinked and gave the black maid a wink.

"I always feel like... when Senior Jingguang entered this store, the whole atmosphere was different..."

Te Bie Zhou couldn't help but think so in his heart.

After all, the impression that the mirror light gave her before was completely different from what was revealed now.

In her eyes, Lin Mo Jingguang should be the kind of horse racing girl who doesn't like to communicate very much.

He is taciturn, but also very gentle. He can show a smile that melts the iceberg to people he knows well...

But now?

That iceberg-like senior actually winked at the owner of the maid cafe...

Behind Te Bie Zhou, Tamamo Cross was looking at the mirror light that was winking at him, with an uncertain expression on his face.
