Half of a Umamusume

"You don't even listen to what your senior says." Xi Qilong glared at him, "I'll punish you to go to the front to receive guests."

"So I must be receiving it now?"

"Of course. Are you going to let a sloppy old man like me or a silly boy like Yang Tai handle the reception? Aren't you afraid of scaring people away?"

"Who's stunned? I'm very smart!"

"Then you go." Fujiwara Chiye said immediately.

"Just kidding, I'm just a fool."

Nishizaki Ryu patted Fujiwara Chiya's shoulder.

"When the time comes, dress neatly. The trainer's reputation will depend on you."

"Okay." Since the other party had said so, Fujiwara Chiye had no choice but to take on the task.

On the day of the fan appreciation festival, Fujiwara Chiya, wearing a black tuxedo and a white mask, stood at the entrance of the event venue and instantly attracted a lot of attention.

Chapter 125: Can You Date Me?

Wearing a black tuxedo and a mask, Fujiwara Chiya was welcoming guests at the door.

"Where did that boy get those clothes?"

In the room, Ryu Nishizaki, who had changed into a relatively formal outfit, couldn't help but speak.

As if he had become a different person, the well-behaved and honest Fujiwara Chiya was using standard gentlemanly gestures to invite the female guests at the door to come in, and some even took photos with him.

Could it be that he was pretending to be stupid and wanted to run to the door to show off? This was the thought that occurred to Nishizaki Ryu.

"You've practiced well..." Katsumura Yota, who was wearing a suit next to Nishizaki Ryu, couldn't help but sigh. He had seen that outfit before and was not surprised by it.

When Qianye first said that he wanted to become a man who was a bit mysterious and gentlemanly like a magician, Katsumura Yota thought it was a bit far-fetched. But after so many days, the other party has learned it quite well.

Wait a minute... Could it be that he also hid those props on his body?

As if to verify his idea, there was a 'bang' sound, and smoke appeared in the man's hand, and then a flower appeared.

"Welcome to the Treson Fan Appreciation Festival, lovely lady." Fujiwara Chiya handed the flowers to a little girl who had just turned ten years old.

"Thank you, weird big brother."

"Please call me Joker."

"Jo your head..." Nishizaki Ryu couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to go over and beat Fujiwara Chiya back to his original form.

"Brother Long, don't be impulsive. We are all brothers. You can't drag a brother down with you just because he's doing a little better." As he spoke, Katsumura Yota stuffed a broom into Nishizaki Ryu's hand.

"Don't stop me. Today I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens."

"No, Brother Long, you can't do this!" Katsumura Yota pushed the other person out.

"Qian Ye! You——"

"Qianye."

A petite orange figure walked beside her, with the words "Chairman" written on an open fan.

"Chairman!? You're here." Fujiwara Chiye immediately bent down and made an inviting gesture.

"Changed your clothes?"

"Today is a special day, I want to wear something formal."

Yayoi Akikawa was looking at him from the side.

"Not bad." She nodded with satisfaction: "Formal clothes suit you very well, and you look great."

Seeing that the collar of Fujiwara Chiya was slightly turned up, Akikawa Yayoi reached out to help him fix it.

"Chairman..."

Fujiwara Chiya suddenly felt flattered.

"Take a picture with me." Akikawa Yayoi took out her cell phone, and Fujiwara Chiya stood next to her, and the two took a photo together.

It's rare that the chairman would make such a request.

After confirming the photo, Akikawa Yayoi put away her phone.

"Then I will go into Qianye first."

"Well, I hope the chairman has a good day today."

"Of course." She was in a very good mood now.

When walking into the venue, Akikawa Yayoi accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure next to him, "Trainer Nishizaki Ryu, what are you doing?"

"Qi, Chairman Qiuchuan, isn't this? I'm sweeping the floor. There's garbage all over the floor..." He stroked the broom with an apologetic smile on his face.

"The student on duty will be here soon, so I won't bother you."

"Yes!" Nishizaki Ryu immediately put the broom aside and quickly returned to his work station. Katsumura Yota, who was standing next to him, greeted Akikawa Yayoi with a smile on his face.

"Work hard."

Just as Akikawa Yayoi was about to go in, she seemed to remember something and stopped again, "By the way, I seem to have heard that some trainers mistook me for Trainer Qianye's mother? Is that true?"

"What!?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Nishizaki Ryu and Katsumura Yota looked at each other and spoke one after another.

"Although I was a little harsh on Trainer Qianye, this is the chairman's job. But someone made a big fuss about my work. If I knew who was spreading the rumors..."

Chairman Akikawa slapped his fan, causing the two men to shiver. "I'll punish them by making them run 30 laps around the training ground."

Thirty laps! One lap is two thousand meters! The chairman probably wants them to die.

"There are actually people like this. They dare to make fun of the chairman. They are so brave!" Katsumura Yota stood straight and said, "Chairman, if I knew who said that, I would report it to you immediately."

"Me too, Chairman." Nishizaki Ryu followed closely, "This is too arrogant. He even dares to provoke the Chairman."

Akikawa Yayoi glanced at them a few times.

"Thank you." She put away her fan. "Then I'll ask you to keep an eye on the rumors among the trainers."

"Okay, we promise to complete the mission!" The two saluted.

Akikawa Yayoi turned around.

Why not say anything else, it has to be my mother, why not say his sister! Qianye and I are not much different in age.

Thinking of this, Akikawa Yayoi entered the venue, and Katsumura Yota and the other person who stayed behind patted their chests.

"Brother Long, you said..."

"What are you talking about? We don't know anything. Let's just pretend that nothing happened. Did you hear that?"

"Brother Long, if we really find out that one of us must die..."

"I'm telling you, kid. The chairman has seen our attitude today. If we're found out, we'll all be finished together."

"Chairman! I report—"

"Damn it!"

Nishizaki Ryu pounced and pushed Katsumura Yota to the ground. Just as the two were fighting, Fujiwara Chiya outside took off his mask.

This thing is so hot that I start to sweat after wearing it for a while.

Listening to the noisy sounds in the room, Fujiwara Chiya once again lamented his luck. Why did he always draw the worst fortune? He had to be an executive committee member in an event and play the most miserable role in such a peaceful environment.

The good luck charm that Kenfuku gave him was useless! Fujiwara Chiya escaped with the small yellow bag.

Fulai, ah Fulai, can you bless me once and give me some good luck.

"Brother!" Just as Fujiwara Chiya was making a wish to his horse girl, a petite black figure ran over.

"It's really you, brother." Mi Yu stood on tiptoe in front of Fujiwara Chiye.

She had been watching over there just now and felt that the man at the door looked very much like her brother, but the other party was wearing a mask and she did not dare to come over to confirm. It was not until the other party took off the mask that Mi Yu felt relieved.

"You are so handsome, brother!" Mi Yu's eyes were shining. It was the first time she saw Fujiwara Chiya in a tuxedo. He was already very handsome, and he became even more handsome after changing into the clothes.

"Thank you for the compliment, lovely lady."

"Ah! Brother." Mi Yu held her face and screamed like a crazy fan.

If you do that, Mi Yu will eat you up!

"Are you here to receive guests, brother?"

"Ah."

"That's great, Brother-sama!"

Seeing more and more people coming over, Fujiwara Chiye put on his mask again and said, "Miyu, go in and play first. Remember to watch the game later."

"Yes, Brother, when will this be over?"

"I think it's too late for me."

There is a constant stream of people coming and going.

"Is that so..." Mi Yu's ears bent down in disappointment, "Then Mi Yu will leave first, brother."

The two said their goodbyes and Fujiwara Chiya stood at the door.

Although he can't visit the event, Bai Xue can. Now Bai Xue is playing a shooting game with Xiao Te and Mejiro Doberman and the others. There are prizes for those who pop the balloons, and there is a special photo-taking spot nearby.

The Fan Appreciation Festival is an event prepared for fans to thank them for their daily support. At the festival, fans can get close to their favorite Umamusumes and take photos with them and get autographs.

Fujiwara Chiya participated in a fan appreciation festival when he was young, but unfortunately he did not see the horse girl he wanted to meet.

"Trainer Qianye." Just as Fujiwara Qianye was lost in his memories, a voice called him. Turning around, Fujiwara Qianye saw that gentle face and immediately stood up straight.

"Ms. Junchuan."

"It's really Trainer Qianye." She smiled, "I can't recognize him even with the mask on."

"This is the... display image..."

"Really? That's great." Her voice was gentle and pleasant. "By the way, if you don't mind, could you come with me to walk around the venue?"

"This……"

"Even receptionists have rest time. Trainer Qianye has been working for a long time."

"Okay, two hours."

"The time is long gone. Take a half-hour break and go for a walk with me, Trainer Qianye."

At the invitation of Junchuan Tezuna, Fujiwara Chiya nodded and agreed. The two of them visited the students' activities and unknowingly walked to a haunted house.

"Would you like to go in and take a look, Trainer Qianye?"

Looking at the gate with its fangs bared, Fujiwara Chiye hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

This was the first time that Fujiwara Chiya walked with Suruga Tetsuna, and he hoped that he could act more manly.

"You two... Miss Tetsuna?"

"Yes, both of you." To the somewhat surprised Uma Musume, Tetsuna Sumikawa smiled.

"Okay, this way please."

In the entire Tresen, there may be people who don’t know the trainer, but no one doesn’t know Junchuan Tezuna. As the second-in-command of Tresen, she knows almost all of Tresen’s students.

"Let's go, Trainer Qianye."

Shunkawa Tezuna held Fujiwara Chiya's hand so naturally that the man didn't even notice. By the time he realized it, the two of them had already walked into the haunted house.

Suddenly a chilly feeling came over me.

Fujiwara Chiye shivered his body, as if a cold wind blew into his clothes.

Is the air conditioner on? Fujiwara Chiya looked around curiously. The original classroom had been made complicated, separated by pure black baffles, and dim white lights flickered faintly. Fujiwara Chiya looked at the extremely realistic tombstone inside.

These kids really put a lot of effort into it. There’s no need to make it so realistic…

Fujiwara Chiye swallowed and looked at the pale skull.
