Half of a Umamusume

"Ok?"

"It may be a bit difficult to judge by yourself. After all, it is difficult for people to feel the changes in themselves. But it is different for others. You only need to touch them a few times to find the difference from usual!" Mejiro Dober felt her face was a little hot, but she still insisted: "Shirayuki, if you want to see if your leg strength has become stronger, let me help you confirm it!"

"This is not good, Sister Dober."

Do I have to let someone else do something like foot massage?

"Why is it not good? We have taken a bath together. Why would we be shy about something like this? Come on, Snow White, give me your feet." Mubai Dober stared at Snow White, making her feel uneasy.

While the other party was hesitating, Mebai Dober simply held Bai Xue's feet in his palms.

"Sister Dabo!?"

So soft! So small!

Instantly, flames rose in Mejiro Dober's heart. In the past, when he saw the trainer kneading Shirayuki's feet, Mejiro Dober felt intense jealousy and desire. For a horse girl, the soles of the feet are the most important and most cared-for part of the body. Being able to touch that position means that she is deeply trusted by the other party.

At this moment, Mejiro Dobo felt as if Shirayuki had given her everything.

Looking at the other's white and tender feet, Mubai Dober kneaded them carefully. The soft skin was smooth and delicate, and the round toes faintly revealed the pink crescent under the nails.

It's so cute, just like a work of art! Mejiro Taboru couldn't let go of her feet. Maybe he was a little nervous. After Mejiro Taboru rubbed them a few times, the soles of Shirayuki's feet became slippery and exuded a faint smell that fascinated Mejiro Taboru.

"Enough, that's enough, Sister Duo..." Fujiwara Shirayuki panted. The soles of her feet were the most sensitive part of her body, and she really couldn't stand being touched by outsiders like this.

"Then take today's flexibility as 10. Record it every three days and see how you change."

“Isn’t three days too short?”

"The more data, the more accurate it will be. Don't worry, Shirayuki." Mejiro Dober gently held her foot. "I will definitely help you carefully record every change in your body."

Chapter 152 Competition among Friends

On the day of the [Chukyō Junior Championship], Fujiwara Chiya led the team to the Chukyō Racecourse. As the first OP race of the year, this race was very memorable, and winning would boost the morale of the team.

After several weeks of training, when Fujiwara Shirayuki took off the horseshoes again, she felt as if her whole body was floating and very light. After applying the training to her daily life, her body gradually began to change.

Now she is qualified to fight against Xiaote and the others.

"Would you like some candy?" While riding the train, Ali Hayabusa next to her handed her a candy and added considerately, "I just bought it at the convenience store." She must have been afraid that Shirayuki would suspect that she had drugged it.

In fact, there is no need to worry about this. After a few months of getting along, Shirayuko has already understood Alice's temperament. She is not interested in most things outside of experiments. All her experiments are aimed at making the horse girls run faster. In a sense, Alice is a horse girl from another aspect, standing on a different track from normal people.

But her nature is no different from other horse racing girls, and she would not do something like drugging her opponents before a race.

After opening the package, Fujiwara Shirayuki put the candy in her mouth. The sweet taste diluted her nervous mood.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome..." Ellyhazuki relaxed her shoulders, "By the way, Shirayuki, I heard you were looking for a way to enter the realm."

Huh? Airihaku actually knows this word.

Most horse girls have never heard of what the "field" is, and their trainers won't explain it to them. After all, there is too much uncertainty about such a mysterious thing. Even those horse girls who have been through many battles and have rich experience can't guarantee that they will enter the field in every race.

Therefore, basically no one will go out of their way to explore this kind of thing, and 99% of trainers will train diligently.

"That's right." Shirayuki licked her lips. "I think 'territory' is the most difficult and mysterious part of Uma Musume. If you can obtain this ability, you will definitely become an extraordinary existence."

"I see, you think so too."

"'also'?"

"I have been looking for ways for Uma Musume to run at the maximum speed. One of them is about 'territory', that is, to gain complete control over the body. In order to protect their bodies from harm, humans put a lock on themselves to prevent them from being destroyed by their own power. To some extent, the domain unlocks the limitations of the body and allows Uma Musume to break through the limits."

"Is... that so?" Fujiwara Shirayuki's understanding of it only came from the basic explanations given by senior trainers. The trainer's manual would not teach these things. As a researcher of horse girls, Airi Hayako might know more about it than she does.

Domain means unlocking the limitations of the body.

"There are certain risks for horse girls who enter the field. They are likely to be destroyed by their own power. But then again, as long as the horse girls are still running, what are the chances that they will not get hurt?"

According to statistics, the probability of horse racing girls suffering from broken bones is several times that of normal people, and the risk of illness is also much higher than that of ordinary people. Only a few horse racing girls can retire in good health. Most of them are accompanied by injuries, such as sprains and bruises, which are as easy to deal with as eating and drinking for horse racing girls.

Even though Uma Musume's body is several times stronger than that of an ordinary person, she cannot withstand such torture.

"In an already high-risk competition, you continue to increase your chances of getting hurt just to break the speed limit of Uma Musume. Shirayuki, after hearing this, are you still willing to look for a domain?"

Fujiwara Shirayuki hesitated for a moment. She recalled the domineering look she had at the harvest time, and then she spoke: "I think... it's a rare opportunity for me to become a horse girl, and I want to thoroughly understand everything about horse girls."

Hearing this, Airihaku laughed.

"It's the first time for everyone to be a horse girl... But if you want to find a field, it's the same goal as mine. Originally, I just asked you to help me experiment with two bodies, but now maybe I can expand the direction of the experiment."

Airihazu pinched her chin, "From what I understand, Uma Musume's domain is related to 'spirituality'. It's a really troublesome position, and it's out of the observation angle of physical experiments, so I need to explore Uma Musume's spiritual domain."

"It sounds very mysterious."

"I think so too. After all, I have never conducted research in this area. However, as someone who possesses both the spirit of a horse girl and a trainer, you should be able to detect changes in the spiritual realm more easily than others." The dark red eyes looked at Shirayuki: "How about Shirayuki? Become my experimental material."

"Haven't I already been..."

"Double the experimental materials." Ellysuko laughed rhythmically. "I haven't thought about the specific contents of the experiment yet, but most of the spiritual research is definitely based on communication. The deeper the feelings, the easier it is to resonate."

"Could it be that you want me to deepen my relationship with someone else?..."

"Be mentally prepared for this. After all, like you, I don't know much about this field. I need to try and make mistakes step by step until I find the answer." After saying that, Airi Suzuko squinted her eyes and lay on the backrest for a nap. It seemed that she was doing experiments until very late yesterday and did not get enough sleep. If you look closely, you can see that there are some dark circles under her fair face.

Without disturbing each other any more, Shirayuki waited quietly for the train to arrive at the station. They arrived in Toyoake City, Aichi Prefecture. Several people got off the train and headed for the Chukyo Racecourse. Following the crowd, they arrived at the entrance. Shirayuki turned to the contestant passage, and others entered the audience seats one after another.

Before leaving, Mejiro Dober gave her a hug.

"I'll cheer you on, Shirayuki."

"Yes."

"And this is the amulet that Dai Jianfu will give you."

She originally wanted to come over, but she had a stomachache yesterday, so she gave the thing to Mejiro Dobo and asked her to give it to Shirayuki on her behalf.

Even holding the amulet can give me a stomachache...Does this thing really work?

No, it is also possible that Fulai put his own luck into the amulet.

After making up a reason to reassure herself, Fujiwara Shirayuki put it in her pocket, then said goodbye to everyone and headed towards the contestant channel.

As soon as she entered, she saw Special Zhou waiting for her.

"Bai Xue!" Seeing the approaching white figure, Te Bie Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up. She hurried forward and held Bai Xue's hand. "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go to the stadium. The game is about to start!"

Seeing how intimate they were, Bai Xue felt that Xiao Te was not here to compete with her, but to watch the game with her.

However, the other person's sunny, cheerful and carefree expression made Bai Xue's nervous mood relax.

The competition is cruel, the winner is the king and the strong is respected, but Bai Xue hopes to have more such competitions, not for victory, but simply because she wants to run with her friends.

Maybe she will never experience this feeling when she is a trainer.

"Leave White Snow."

The two trotted through the contestant channel, and the huge stadium appeared before them.

"The sky is clear at the Zhongjing Racecourse! Fourteen contestants are here to challenge! Who will come out on top in this race?"

Chapter 153: The First OP Match

They arrived a little late and there were no empty seats in the front row, so Fujiwara Chiya and the others could only stand at the back and watch from afar.

Mi Yu, the shortest one, stood on tiptoe.

After meeting his father, Mi Yu's vigilance towards Bai Xue began to plummet. After all, Bai Xue was just a younger sister, and it was impossible for them to develop any other relationship. But it was different for her. His father even invited her to his brother's house. Wasn't the meaning obvious?

So now Bai Xue is no longer a threat, and is even her future relative and her cousin. After establishing this relationship, Mi Yu suddenly figured it out.

If Bai Xue became her cousin, then Mi Yu's brother would be her brother. There is nothing wrong with calling her Bai Xue. This way of addressing her would not diminish her identity, and at the same time it could confirm her relationship with Qian Ye, which was simply killing two birds with one stone.

But how can she make Bai Xue treat her as a sister?

In terms of age, Mi Yu, as a student in the advanced department, is indeed older than Bai Xue, but her height and temperament have nothing to do with the word "sister". It would be more accurate to say that Bai Xue, who is tall and gentle, is more like a sister than her. It would not feel awkward for her to call Bai Xue "sister".

Absolutely not! If you shout like that, you will be in trouble!

Although the task is arduous, Mi Yu decides to change her image in Bai Xue's heart and establish a relationship between her and her brother.

So first of all, start by cheering with all your heart.

Mi Yu kept standing on tiptoe, but with her height of only 1.40 meters, no matter how hard she stretched her neck, she couldn't get over the wall of people. She could only stand there swaying her body, at a loss.

Looking at Mi Yu, who was like a kitten, unable to stick his head out of the crowd, Fujiwara Chiye squatted down.

"Brother?"

"Ride on my shoulders, Mi Yu. This way you can see more clearly."

"Ride, ride Brother-sama!? Then... the rice bath is about to begin."

After a brief surprise, she carefully sat on Qianye's neck. After the man stood up, Mi Yu's sight instantly passed over the crowd.

"Ah~ It's so high!" Mi Yu looked excited. She lowered her head and looked at the man sandwiched between her legs. Mi Yu's eyes moved, and then she bent down and hugged the other person.

"Rice bath?"

"It's too high. Mi Yu... is a little scared. This will make Mi Yu feel more at ease."

"Really? Then hold on tight."

"Okay!" Mi Yu stretched out his tail again and wrapped it around Qianye's neck.

Mi Yu, I can't watch the game if you're like this...

"You scheming black loli, I declare that this year's best sister of the year is Mi Yu!"

Golden Ship took out a Rubik's Cube from somewhere, glanced at Mi Yu for a few seconds, and then turned back to the competition field.

The famous general Nu Tao looked at the golden ship next to him who was shouting something with a puzzled look on his face. He shook his head, cleared his mind, and clasped his hands together.

Shirayuki-san, you must win.

"McQueen."

"Ah, you... why are you two still holding hands!" Looking at Te Bie Zhou and Fujiwara Shirayuki running out of the contestant channel, Mejiro McQueen pointed at them and shouted.

"I told Bai Xue to hurry up, and I pulled her without realizing it." Bie Te Zhou let go immediately.

"This is a competition arena, can you be a little serious?" Mubai McQueen held his forehead. It didn't matter how good their relationship was at normal times, but they couldn't talk about sisterhood when they were in the competition arena. They had to know that they were going to compete in front of thousands of spectators. It was not appropriate to pull and tug at each other like children.

"Shirayuki, and Xiaote, let me make it clear in advance that I am not in the same leisurely mood as you. I will not hold back in this match." Mejiro McQueen looked at the two of them, "I will not lose if the honor of the Mejiro family is at stake."

"Me too, McQueen. I'm sorry that you thought I wasn't serious. I'm also eager to win. No, not just to win. I'm more eager to compete with you two. Let's see who's stronger in the competition."

As expected of Shirayuki, she displayed her extraordinary aura in just a few simple words. She saw Shirayuki wearing those thick and heavy horseshoes, and she never took them off even during the daytime classes. The 'clacking' sound of the horseshoes seemed to indicate Fujiwara Shirayuki's determination.

It seems that this is a game that cannot be taken lightly. Although you are Dober's sister and may even inherit the Mejiro family's surname in the future, the arena is ruthless and I will definitely use all my strength to defeat you.

Just as they expressed their determination to each other, a blue figure suddenly rushed out, "Ahhhhhhhh!! Twin turbo, go for it!! Powerful turbo, powerful turbo, bang bang bang——!"

She made a shooting gesture and shot at Fujiwara Shirayuki and others.

"In this match, I'll show you my abilities, Snow White!" She pointed at McQueen, "Come and fight me!"

"You got the wrong person. She is Bai Xue."

"Ah? Ah... the one called Snow White!" Twin Turbine straightened his back without any embarrassment: "I heard your name from the Emperor. You are also the one targeted by the Emperor! However, I am the Emperor's number one enemy. Before I duel with the Emperor, let me get rid of you, the challenger, first!"

Twin Turbos raised his fist high and challenged Bai Xue with great enthusiasm.

When did I become the challenger of the emperor? Never mind these details. The other party has already challenged her, and as a horse girl, Fujiwara Shirayuki naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Okay, then I will..."

"What do you mean by challenger to be the emperor's number one rival? I am Bai Xue's only rival!"

Special Week suddenly jumped out.

"Snow White's opponent is me. Did you hear me? It's me! Not the emperor!"

"W-what...Shirayuki, you actually have a nemesis? In that case, I will get rid of both of you! I, Turbine-sama, am the strongest!"

"Just two pumps, how dare you boast!"

Maybe she was very unhappy that the other party had replaced her with the emperor without her permission, so she clenched her fists.

“What the hell is going on…” The corners of Mebai McQueen’s eyes twitched.
