Half of a Umamusume

"Well, our winning suit is ready. Let's pick it up tomorrow."

"Oh, that's great." Mejiro Dobo smiled. For some reason, Shirayuki felt that the other person's voice was a little strange, as if he was suppressing something.

Wait... Could it be that Mejiro Taboro heard what she just said? What she said to Junchuan Tezuna?

Even if she heard it, it shouldn't matter. She didn't say anything to Tezuna, so there was no way she would reveal her relationship with Qianye.

Maybe Qing Yun Tiankong has made him too nervous recently. That guy is always going back and forth between him and Qian Ye.

In the afternoon, Fujiwara Chiya was responsible for everyone's special training. When he came to Mejiro Dober's side, Fujiwara Chiya heard him speak softly: "Trainer, there is something I want to talk to you about."

"what?"

Mejiro Taboku spoke out his thoughts, and Fujiwara Chiya was shocked.

"More training? But Dober... this is already very high."

"It's okay, trainer." Mejiro Dober said in an unquestionable tone: "My body can still hold on. I want to become stronger, so strong that I can't be ignored."

Chapter 262: Victory Suit

The next day, Bai Xue successfully got her winning dress. It was a white dress, but it only covered her chest and lower abdomen, leaving her white back completely exposed. The hem of the skirt looked like it was torn, giving off a wild feeling.

This winning dress is a combination of elegance and wildness. The two originally contradictory elements are perfectly integrated together. It is beautiful, but the degree of exposure is too high!

Her entire back was chilly, and she felt that if she wasn't careful, the two ribbons on her back would become undone. She didn't want to be in a tragic situation where the deciding server opened during a game, or she might become the first horse girl to retire due to social disgrace.

Compared to her highly revealing decisive outfit, Mejiro Doberman's is much better. A white top paired with a blue lace skirt, which highlights her cold personality while also making her look cute. The color of the clothes also matches Mejiro Doberman's earrings.

Come to think of it, Bai Xue tilted her head and touched the blue necklace hanging on her back. Could it be that this was also made based on her earrings?

Many of the current Uma Musume's winning uniforms have bracelets and leg rings as decorations, but Snow White has a dark blue neck ring and a necklace... Isn't this a formal dress? Snow White has seen the outline of her image.

"Hmm... Classmate Bai Xue, what do you think of this dress?" The famous general Nu Tao finally changed his clothes. It was a blue and white dress with white tights. The first impression Bai Xue had when she saw it was that it was big.

As expected of her, it’s Raging Wave. This size is not something that an ordinary horse girl can achieve. The designer must have used a lot of fabric on the chest area.

"I think it's great. It really reflects the characteristics of a raging tide."

"Yes, really? That's good." She smiled.

Mebai Dobo walked to Bai Xue's side, looked at her white back, and couldn't help frowning.

How could the designer design it so revealing? Isn't it all visible? Everyone's winning costumes are quite conservative, but Bai Xue's is the opposite.

While talking to the famous general Nu Tao, the skin on Shirayuki's back trembled, and seeing this, Mebai Dobo couldn't help swallowing.

So tender...

The flawless white back was so tender that it seemed like it could slide down a slide. Mejiro Dober couldn't help but stretch out his fingers to touch it. Suddenly, Shirayuki's giggle was suppressed back into her mouth. Her body froze in place like a wooden stake, and her head turned to the back with a rattling sound like a rusty gear. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Mejiro Dober.

I thought someone had touched her body. There was one bad thing about this dress. If someone touched her even slightly, it would feel like someone was putting their hand into her clothes.

"What's wrong, Sister Dob?"

"Ah...no." Mejiro Dober immediately pulled back her uncontrollable hand. She saw the other person's white neck and an idea uncontrollably emerged in her head.

I really want to lick it.

But that thought was quickly cut off by Mejiro Dober, who shook her head repeatedly.

"Shirayuki feels beautiful in this dress."

"Sister Duobo is the same, she's like an idol."

This is true for stage costumes, and even more so for winning costumes.

"Everyone has received their clothes, right?" Fujiwara Chiya walked in from outside the locker room. He was asked to leave by the staff when Uma Musume was changing clothes. Although there was no point in asking him to leave, he clearly saw the bodies of Dober and Nutao. Anyway, he could finally come in after they finished changing clothes.

As per custom, he first puffed up the three people's clothes and then led them out of the room.

The three of them got in the car, and Fujiwara Chiya said:

"Although the winning server has been released, your next game is not GⅠ, but the GⅡ match of the outpost battle, so don't be too anxious."

"Yes!" three people squeezed in the back and said in unison.

"Also, I have booked a farrier to make custom horseshoes for you later. The shoes for the winning uniform are different from ordinary sports shoes. If you still use ordinary horseshoes, the shape and weight may not be suitable."

Since you have to change them, you have to change to the best ones. Horseshoes have a significant impact on the horse girl. Excluding the situation like Nutao where the horseshoes were not nailed firmly, causing them to fall off, the weight and thickness also affect the running speed of the horse girl. It won’t work if the horseshoes are too heavy, too thin, or too soft, and the shape must also fit the forefoot of the horse girl.

After parking the car at a shoemaker's shop, Fujiwara Chiya asked a few people to get out of the car. This was a shop with ordinary-looking decorations, and it was much shabby compared to other colorful stores.

Fujiwara Chiye had the same feeling at first, until he saw the horseshoes on the counter, his eyes suddenly lit up.

No wonder Ryu Nishizaki and others highly recommend this store, the owner is really something.

"Uncle Honda, I brought three guests." Fujiwara Chiya looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the store who was repairing horseshoes with a file. Half of the man's hair was already white.

In this era when competition products are becoming increasingly commercialized, there are not many craftsmen who still use pure hand-made methods.

The black eyes looked at Fujiwara Chiya, then turned to the three girls behind him. The middle-aged man raised his chin.

"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Fujiwara Chiya said to her horse girl.

Mejiro Dober looked around the shop curiously, she looked at the shoes hanging on the wall, some of which had signs saying 'for display only'.

"Trainer, what are these?"

"Some are newly made, and some are shoes that were used by the horse girls."

"Used?"

"Well, those shoes with labels are the shoes used by the horse racing girls. After they won, they gave the shoes to the shop owner."

For the horse girls, giving themselves shoes as a reward after winning is a form of return, because shoes are their most precious possessions.

And the fact that this shop owner has gained so much shows how much help he has given to those horse racing girls.

In a sense, displaying the winning shoes of the horse girls is also a recognition of the store. The more shoes the store has, the better the products are. After all, these things are very rare. Most horse girls will give their shoes to their trainers when they retire. Each trainer’s dormitory also has a small storage room to store these things.

Very few are given to outsiders.

Fujiwara Chiya doesn’t have a pair now. He has not trained a retired horse girl yet. Even if he did, the other party might not be willing to give it to him.

"I see." Mejiro Doo looked at those shoes that were completely handmade. She had never heard of such a store when she was at the Mejiro family. Maybe it was because the Mejiro family would not come into contact with such stores hidden in corners.

"Do you have foot measurements?"

The shop owner put down the file and looked up at Fujiwara Chiya.

"No."

"There is a ruler on the table, go and measure it."

Chapter 263: A True Hero Kills with His Eyes

It takes about three days to make horseshoes, and you can come and pick them up when they are ready.

Mejiro Tabou stood on tiptoe and felt a strange feeling on the soles of her feet. The trainer had just held the soles of her feet to measure them. Logically, Mejiro Tabou should have been very resistant to this, but when he saw the trainer's serious face, Mejiro Tabou unexpectedly did not feel disgusted.

If it were a few months ago, let alone letting men touch her feet, even letting them get close to her would make Mebai Dober feel extremely uncomfortable.

Could it be that my ability to accept things is already so strong?

No, it’s not that my ability to accept is strong... Mejiro Doo thought about it and realized that if other men measured her, she still wouldn’t be able to accept it.

what's wrong with me?

Mejiro Dobo couldn't figure out the changes in herself, she seemed to be different in some way.

"Only the best equipment can bring out the full potential of Uma Musume. Don't you think so, Sister Dober?"

Shirayuki came up to Mejiro Dobo.

"Ah, yes." Mebai Dober looked at Bai Xue's face and was stunned for a moment. She rubbed her eyes and lowered her head to respond.

strangeness……

For some reason, when she looked at Shirayuki just now, she hallucinated her face as a trainer. Is there something wrong with my brain? Mejiro Dober quietly looked at Shirayuki beside him, and then turned to Fujiwara Chiya who was talking to the famous general Nutao. The more he looked at them, the more they looked alike.

Could it be that I have been too tired recently and that is why I have this illusion?

Mejiro Dober slapped his face twice, forcibly ignoring the inexplicable thoughts that surged in his mind.

"Trainer, how long is it until the [Tulip Appreciation]?"

"One month and five days." Bai Xue answered on behalf of Fujiwara Chiya. A strange light flashed in Mejiro Dobo's eyes again, but she quickly suppressed it again.

It's already very close, and now is not the time to think about these things. She has to defeat her rival Fujiwara Shirayuki, not only for the Mejiro family, but also for other factors.

Back at Tresen, Junchuan Tezuna was already standing at the door. She looked at Shirayuki in her victory suit, then turned to Fujiwara Chiya, and said with a smile: "Everyone is so cute."

indeed.

But why are you looking at me?

"Shirayuki's outfit is great. Who designed it?" Shogawa Tetsuna walked to Shirayuki with a smile.

"I heard he's a very famous designer, his last name seems to be Da Zang..."

"I see." Junchuan Tezuna touched Shirayuki's hair, and at this moment, Mejiro Dobo next to him pulled her over.

"Ala?"

"We have training later, so we won't disturb Miss Junchuan. Besides, it would be weird to stand at the door in your finals uniform."

"makes sense."

"We're leaving too, Tetsuna. Let's talk again when we have time." Fujiwara Chiya also said goodbye to him. Surugi Tetsuna nodded in response. After they left, Surugi Tetsuna looked in the direction where Mejiro Dobo left, his eyes thoughtful.

……

"Bai Xue, now that your victory suit has been delivered, the next step is to take your first step towards becoming the 'Empress'." The day after receiving the victory suit, Qi Cao began special training for Bai Xue.

"The first thing an 'Empress' needs is strength, and the second is dignity. Based on these two things, you need the courage to face difficulties. Now, Bai Xue, you have good strength and courage, but you lack dignity."

Qi Cao hugged his arms tightly. Even though they were about the same height, Bai Xue felt that the other person was extremely tall.

"Of course, the majesty I mentioned is not just for show. Often times, aura can weaken the opponent's mental strength, making them lose the courage to fight and unable to exert their full strength."

The explanation of the Qi groove was very mysterious, and Bai Xue seemed to understand it but not quite.

"There's no point in saying more. I'll just demonstrate it to you." As she said this, Qi Cao closed her eyes. When she opened them again, Bai Xue's breathing suddenly stagnated. Her clear blue-purple eyes emitted an icy light. Bai Xue felt as if a knife was stabbed in her heart. The pain was as real as if it made her hold her chest tightly and gasp for breath.

There was an aura of murderous intent that was hard to conceal from the other person, as if he would be left dead in the wilderness in the next second. Bai Xue also felt an instinctive urge in her heart, and she wanted to run away from the other person and hide.

What is this!? It's not in the trainer's manual!

Just as Bai Xue's legs were shaking, Qi Cao closed his eyes again, and the breath that seemed to want to cut Bai Xue into pieces disappeared.

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Bai Xue covered her pounding chest.

"Do you feel it?" Qi Cao hugged his shoulders, "This is momentum, this is majesty. If you want to become an 'Empress', you need to give others this kind of oppression."

Shirayuki swallowed.

"Vice President Qi Cao... How did you do that? That feeling just now." Bai Xue always thought that murderous intent or some kind of murderous aura were lines in movies, but she didn't expect to be able to feel it in real life. She thought it was magical enough that she had two bodies, but she never thought that Uma Musume was even more magical.

Just now, Bai Xue really felt like someone was holding a knife against her neck, and her back was soaked.

"Spirit, willpower, concentration, self-confidence, these are what you need to exude majesty. Bai Xue, your eyes are not just for seeing things, they can also convey your will. What you need to convey is the aura of dominating the world!"

Hearing the words "rule the world", Bai Xue inexplicably thought of the harvest moment when she was once so powerful. The other party's eyes were filled with arrogance that burned everything. Fujiwara Chiye didn't understand it at that time, but now...

“So, that’s the momentum.”

Trainers have no access to these things at all. This is something that only horse girls can understand and feel.

"How can I hone these things?"

"Push yourself to the limit, and then you will survive."

"This……"

Why does it feel like a phoenix rising from the ashes? And it sounds like he's risking his life. Just reading this sentence, I thought he was going to the battlefield.

"I will take time out to train your mental strength in the future so that you can master this trick as soon as possible. I believe you have also seen how the momentum can bring pressure to the opponent."

Indeed, Fujiwara Shirayuki felt that if the horse girl had a weaker willpower, she might have surrendered on the spot.

Momentum can weaken the opponent on a spiritual level.
