Half of a Umamusume

"I didn't have any dinner last night." Fujiwara Shirayuki kept talking.

The food Qianye ate could not enter her stomach. After taking the first bite of breakfast, Bai Xue could not stop eating at all. The word "hungry" had occupied her mind.

"Eh? Didn't you eat?"

When Mejiro Tabo returned to the dormitory, he saw Shirayuki already in bed with her coat neatly folded beside her. At that time, Mejiro Tabo was wondering why Shirayuki went to bed so early today, as the two of them clearly had a lot of things to do.

So at that time, Mejiro Dobo could only touch Shirayuki's head regretfully and sleep beside her.

"Bai Xue, good morning." Just as Bai Xue was eating like a whirlwind, Te Bie Zhou walked over with a large plate.

"Can I sit here?"

Mebai Dober immediately looked alert.

After the summer training, everyone's attention was on the beach, and few people talked about Tezuka Shu and Shirayuki anymore, but the psychological shock brought by the other party still caused lasting harm to Mejiro Dobo, and she absolutely would not allow Tezuka Shu to continue to have any relationship with Shirayuki beyond friendship.

She will carefully observe the two people's every move from now on to prevent Xiaote from doing anything out of line.

"Well, come on, nobody."

"Excuse me." Te Bie Zhou happily sat next to Bai Xue with her hands clasped together. Although she was a little surprised that Bai Xue had such a strong appetite so early in the morning, it was a good thing to be able to eat. Te Bie Zhou was even a little envious of Bai Xue for being able to eat more than her.

It just so happened that Special Week heard about a buffet restaurant nearby yesterday, and she could take Snow White there to have a look. There are two great pleasures for horse racing girls: one is racing, and the other is eating.

However, since Senior Oguruma is not here, Snow White's side has become a unique sight.

"By the way, Bai Xue, Tian Kong asked me to tell her a message." After taking a bite of carrot, Te Bie Zhou spoke.

"what?"

"She said we should go fishing together next time if we have time."

"What about her?"

"Sleep in the room."

"Got it. Tell Sky-chan that I'll bring a boom next time."

By the way, ask the other person how he got back.

After eating and drinking, Fujiwara Shirayuki came to the training ground and started today's training. Fujiwara Chiya, who had just finished taking a shower in the dormitory and washed off the smell of alcohol on his body, stood in front of the team.

"Fumino, leave the emperor and the others to me today." He said to Nanase Fumino beside him, and the latter sniffed.

"Qian Ye?"

"Ok?"

"Did you drink too much again yesterday?"

"How do you know? A little bit, I guess. The seniors gave me a lot."

The other party handed over a mint.

"There's still a taste of alcohol in my mouth."

"I clearly brushed my teeth..." Fujiwara Chiya opened the package and put it in his mouth. Fumino's face looked much better then.

Qianye is good in every way except that he loves to drink. He forgets himself when he is happy. She has no idea how many times he has been carried back to the dormitory by his seniors. Every time she sees a drunk man, Nanase Fumino feels speechless. After they get married, she will definitely discipline him and ask him to drink less of these nerve-damaging things.

"Trainer! Trainer Qianye."

Just after Fujiwara Chiya had the emperor and the others warmed up, they suddenly heard the sound of a good opera and raised their head.

"Good opera, what's wrong?"

"I want to ask about the competition with Bai Xue. How about Trainer Qianye? Can you arrange it for us?"

Fujiwara Chiya then remembered that he had promised the opera before getting on the bus, and he looked at Nase Fumino beside him.

"Competition..." After a moment's thought, Nase Fumino said, "Okay."

It's a good opportunity to see the difference between the two and their adaptability to sand.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Fujiwara Chiya said: "Okay, let's arrange it."

"Thank you for your understanding, Trainer Qianye. It is a dreamlike scene to fight the White Wolf on this golden beach."

Calling Bai Xue over, Fujiwara Chiya arranged the race: "The race is 1,600 meters. Run to the red flag over there and then run back. The first one to reach the finish line wins. Do you understand?"

""yes! ""

"Ah... Good Opera is going to compete with Bai Xue again." The famous general Nu Tao, who came to join in the fun, trembled with fear and the ahoge on his head curled up. The experience of being defeated by Good Opera last time still left a big shadow on him.

Come on, Bai Xue, don’t fall under the tyranny of the Overlord!

She doesn't dare to compete with good operas now, so she can only put her hopes on Bai Xue.

The rest of the group including Arihasu were watching from the sidelines. It was rare that there was no sign of the golden ship in the middle.

Where did that guy go?

He was not here when we gathered, and he is not here now. Could he have skipped class?

Fujiwara Chiya planned to deal with her later and focused on the training match in front of him first.

"Everyone, get ready... the game begins!"

Following Fujiwara Chiya's order, two figures rushed out at the same time. Running on the beach is different from ordinary running. It tests the horse girl's use of leg strength more. Compared with exerting force diagonally downward, the sand is more towards the back, and the movement of the feet needs to be changed from stepping to kicking.

This is the key to sand racing.

With a bang, the snow-white figure rushed forward along the ground, leading the good opera by half a marathon length in the first three seconds of the race.

Nanase Fumino carefully observed Fujiwara Shirayuki. Not only could she exert considerable strength on the grass, but she was also very good on the sand. Qianye probably had never let her train on the sand. Perhaps this child possessed a rare dual-surface adaptability and could compete on the sand court in the future.

Although the importance of the central sand court tournament is far less than that of the grass court tournament, the situation in Europe is completely different. Maybe Bai Xue can go global.

Seeing the opponent's powerful explosive power, Good Opera was stunned for a moment, and then followed closely behind.

After 700 meters, Good Opera felt a little weak. Her strength seemed to be sucked away by sand and she couldn't get close to the opponent.

As expected of the White Wolf, he has great leg strength!

Fujiwara Shirayuki glanced behind her.

Good Opera was still running on the grass, and naturally not as fast as her, but the opponent was able to run at his current speed by relying on pure brute force. When did Good Opera become so strong?

Fujiwara Shirayuki's face was solemn. She felt that her friends were growing up at a terrifying speed.

She was the first to reach the red flag. Just as Fujiwara Shirayuki was about to turn and run back, she suddenly found a bulge on the ground in front of her, and a quiet and peaceful face was faintly revealed on the sand above the bulge. Seeing that face, Fujiwara Shirayuki screamed in surprise.

"Boat--!?"

Hearing the sound, Huang Jinchuan opened her eyes, and her pink eyes looked in the direction where the sound came from. Then she saw Fujiwara Shirayuki running towards her.

"Shirayuki ehhhhhhh!!"

There was no time to dodge. Before the collision, Fujiwara Shirayuki lay on the ground and forced herself to slow down. After shoveling up a large piece of sand dune, she fell directly onto the golden boat. The two of them rolled all the way into the woods nearby.

So why did the Golden Ship bury itself in the sand? Why didn't Qianye notice it when he was planting the flag? If Fujiwara Shirayuki hadn't noticed, she would have almost stepped on the Golden Ship. If she had really stepped on it, the Golden Ship would have probably spent this summer training in the health room.

Two men came out of the woods in tatters.

"What are you doing lying in the sand?"

"I'm absorbing the purification of the sea, but you, why are you acting like a death squad..."

“I’m playing.”

“Is there any competition here?”

"Training match."

When they came out, good opera was waiting for them.

She looked at Bai Xue carefully, and laughed a few times after confirming that she was not injured.

"What a shame, White Wolf. Looks like we'll have to wait until next time to see whether we win or lose."

"really."

Fujiwara Shirayuki wiped the sand from her ears.

The interruption of the competition gave Hao Opera a chance to prepare. During the running process, she discovered the gap between her movements and Bai Xue's. It was obvious that Bai Xue had more advantages than her on the sand. If Bai Xue's adaptability to the sand was 'A' or 'B', then hers was undoubtedly 'D'. No matter how much physical strength she had, she could not perform to her full potential due to the limitations of the venue.

So if she keeps running she will definitely lose.

One learns from everything. It seems that as Snow White's opponent, there is still a lot to learn. With a loud laugh, Good Opera said goodbye to Snow White and returned to his own team.

"How's it going, Snow White? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. But you, where did I bump into you just now?"

"here."

The Golden Ship patted his chest.

"Don't worry about my Lord Golden Ship's health. Even if he is hit by a dump truck, I have the confidence to send the dump truck to another world." She gave Bai Xue a thumbs up.

Speaking of which, when the two of them rolled out, Huang Jinchuan held her head tightly to his chest. After being cushioned by two soft and elastic things, she was fine.

Ships are not completely unreliable.

Fujiwara Chiya ran over, confirmed with the two again, and then started today's training.

……

"Snow-chan."

At noon, after the training ended, Fujiwara Shirayuki sat in the public bathroom. Sand got into her hair and was very difficult to wash out. If she had known, she would not have waited until the training was over to take a shower. Just as Fujiwara Shirayuki was fighting wits and courage with her hair, the voice of Kusanagi Fei rang out from the door.

"I'm here." Fujiwara Shirayuki responded. The sound of footsteps could be heard in the bathroom. It was lunchtime and everyone went to the cafeteria. Mejiro Dobo, who had wanted to come over, was called away by Mejiro Guangming. For the time being, she was the only one in the entire bathroom.

"It was really miserable in the morning, Xue-chan. Who would have thought that the golden ship was lying there? Trainer Qianye wouldn't even let you go back to take a shower."

"The original race was already off the schedule, and going to take a shower would delay it even longer. It's just some sand anyway, it won't be a problem."

"Xue-chan..."

As a girl, Xuejiang's personality is extremely gentle. Even Cao Shangfei has to be impressed by her thoughtfulness. Even if she is covered in annoying sand, she will still give priority to the trainer.

Cao Shangfei had never seen a girl who put others before herself.

"Let me wash your hair, Yuki-chan."

"Well, then I'll leave it to you, Xiaocao." Bai Xue did not refuse. Cao Shangfei must have come to see her since he could come at this time. Bai Xue did not want to waste her friend's kindness.

When Cao Shangfei was rubbing Bai Xue's hair, she suddenly said, "By the way, Xue-chan, do you still remember our original agreement?"

"Promise?"

"Well, the match was agreed upon at the beginning. The loser would obey one of the conditions of the winner. Didn't Bai Xue reserve her opinion at the beginning? How is it now? Have you thought it through?"

If Cao Shangfei hadn't mentioned it, Bai Xue had almost forgotten about it. She didn't have anything she wanted him to do. But since Cao Shangfei specifically mentioned it, Bai Xue thought of one on the spur of the moment.

Feeling the gentle force of the other person's fingers, Bai Xue had an idea.

"Then I said it?"

"Go ahead."

"How about taking care of me for a day, Xiaocao?"

"Eh?"

"Just like now, serve me for a day, you can accept it."

Since the other party really wanted to do it, Bai Xue was prepared to just give it a try and stay together normally to finalize the agreement.

Cao Shangfei's hand paused.

"you sure?"

"I am sure."

Cao Shangfei laughed.

"Okay, then let's do as Xue-chan says."
