Half of a Umamusume

"Cross the finish line--!!!" The host's voice resounded throughout the stadium. After a few seconds of silence, explosive cheers rang out in the stadium.

"The winner is Mejiro Dober!!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

At this moment, the queen of the arena was born.

Mejiro Dober slowly stopped, swaying her body and almost falling down several times, but she still persisted, raising her fist high.

She is the winner of this game.

Turning her head, Mubai Dober looked at Bai Xue. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, only heavy breathing and hoarse mosquito-like sounds came out.

Tears were flowing from her eyes and saliva was dripping from the corners of her mouth. This was an instinctive reaction when the body was on the verge of its limit. In order to win, Mejiro Dober gave her all.

Watching the other person's mouth opening and closing, Bai Xue understood what she said.

[I did it]

Just as she said before the race, she surpassed Shirayuki.

Mejiro Doberman won, and Shirayuki suffered her first defeat in the Shining Series. Looking at Mejiro Doberman who seemed to have become the center of the world, Shirayuki felt a strange feeling in her heart.

That is the unwillingness called "failure".

"Guinea Pig-kun."

"Ok?"

"Why do you cry on one face and smile on the other?"

Fujiwara Shirayuki at the finish line lowered her head with tears in her eyes, while Fujiwara Chiya standing in the audience was applauding Mejiro Dobo's victory, forming a sharp contrast between the two.

Yes, why.

Fujiwara Chiya looked at Mejiro Dobo, whom she had personally nurtured. She bathed in the cheers of the crowd and enjoyed the dazzling glory.

"Because I'm half trainer and half horse girl."

Chapter 271: The First Time Was Taken Away

The [Tulip Appreciation] competition ended successfully, and Fujiwara Chiya held a banquet in the office that night.

"Great run, Dober. The comeback at the last minute is one of the highlights of this year's race. Not many horse racing girls can do this."

In response to Fujiwara Chiya's praise, Mejiro Dobo rarely showed a shy smile. She raised the corners of her mouth and her cheeks showed a faint blush.

“Thanks to my trainer,” she said. “I wouldn’t have been able to do this without my trainer.”

What was that in the end? Fujiwara Chiya wanted to ask, as if something had come to her mind, something that helped Mejiro Dobo break through herself when she was close to her limit.

Ma-Musume's body is truly magical. Every time Fujiwara Chiya feels that she has understood him well enough, she can give him a new surprise.

Only when you are in danger can you survive. Fujiwara Chiya seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence, but he was not the first person to reach this level.

Shirayuki's winning streak was interrupted here, and Mejiro Tabou was crowned the 'Queen', sparking a wave of heated discussion among Uma Musume. The next competition will be the [Sakura Viewing], and the opponent in that match will not only be Mejiro Tabou.

I am still under a lot of pressure.

Fujiwara Chiya was eating cake, while Shirayuki was celebrating for Mejiro Dobo on the other side.

"McQueen and the others all said that Sister Dober ran very well."

"Well...thank you." Mejiro Dober's smile was stiff. She saw that Shirayuki was so unwilling to lose the game that she cried. This was the first time that Mejiro Dober saw Shirayuki cry after sharing a dormitory with her for so long. However, she did not step forward to comfort her. As a winner, how could she express sympathy to the loser?

Now Mejiro Tabar doesn't know how to face Shirayuki. The reason why she defeated Shirayuki is very simple, it is because Shirayuki is the most important person to her, the one she cares about the most, so Mejiro Tabar wants to try her best to defeat her. Only in this way can Mejiro Tabar express his importance to her.

But once he defeats the opponent, he will inevitably cause harm to her.

This is Uma Musume, this is how they express their emotions, looking at the white girl in front of him, gazing into those bright blue eyes, Meshiro Dober said: "Because my opponent is Shirayuki, I want to win so much."

"Really? But I'm going to come back hard next time. Don't think that you're done just because you beat me once."

"I know, so please give me more advice next time, Shirayuki."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Bai Xue did feel unwilling to lose the game, but she would not turn this unwillingness into other emotions. The trainer's experience pulled her thinking again and again, so that she would not go astray. There were many horse girls who were devastated by a failure, and also had a bad relationship with others because of a failure.

But Bai Xue wouldn't do that. She had experienced a more painful failure than this, which was seeing her own horse girl being surpassed but being unable to do anything about it.

At least now, I can still move, I can still run, and I can make up for this regret myself.

So it’s really great that I can become a horse girl.

Snow White put the cake into her mouth.

……

"Xue-chan...Xue-chan's virginity has been taken away!"

The next day, a cry of grief was heard in the class. Condor hugged Snow White tightly and burst into tears.

"Xiaoying, don't say weird things. Xue-chan's first time was obviously with me."

"You are the one who shouldn't say weird things, Xiaocao!" Shenying said angrily, "It was almost there, Xue-chan almost won four games in a row, Why——!"

"Saying this now will only embarrass Xue-chan."

Because of the loss in the game, my friends started quarreling.

"It's okay, Bai Xue, if you feel uncomfortable I can come to comfort you!" Te Bie Zhou said with his arms open, showing an expression that said 'come here quickly'. Cao Shangfei pulled the Condor off Bai Xue and threw it into Te Bie Zhou's arms.

"Go comfort Xiaoying. She's crying more than she did when she lost the game."

"What! I don't want it!"

"Eh?? Am I hated?"

In fact, although Kusagami Tobi said it as if nothing had happened, she was very sad in her heart. After all, she wanted to be the first person to defeat Shirayuki, but she never expected that she would be beaten to it by Mejiro Doberman. A horse girl's first game and the first game she loses are often the most memorable, and that area has been occupied by others.

What a pity...

"What does it matter? If you lose the game, just win it next time. Who here hasn't lost before?" Qingyun Tiankong's voice came over, and she stretched on the table, looking like she had just woken up.

The people present included Qingyun Tiankong, Shenying, Xiaote, Cao Shangfei, and all of them had lost to Bai Xue. Since everyone had lost, it was not surprising that Bai Xue lost.

Qingyuntiankong has a point.

But why did you suddenly join the battle? Weren't you just pretending to be dead and sleeping before? Cao Shangfei narrowed his eyes.

Qingyun Tiankong yawned, stood up, glanced at Bai Xue and walked out of the classroom. Question marks popped up in people's heads around her, but only Bai Xue understood what the other party wanted to do.

This guy is probably going to my office.

Sure enough, a few minutes later Qingyun Tiankong pushed the door and walked in.

"Hey, trainer." She waved her hand. "I couldn't get through over there, so I came here."

"You come here almost ten times a day. Now that Kiryuin can't find you, you ask if you are here with me."

"I see. I'm the Uma Girl you two share?"

"You are not my horse girl."

"Then what am I?"

Fujiwara Chiya held it in for a long time before finally saying, "Friend, I guess that's OK..."

"That's fine, I'm here as a friend." After saying that, she lay down on the sofa as she pleased, as if she regarded this place as her own home. After lying down for a while, Qingyun Tiankong asked, "Is it okay?"

"What."

"I also went to the race, and was quite close to the finish line, so I saw clearly how sad Bai Xue looked."

"How can there be..."

"It's not a shameful thing to say it out loud. The first thing we learn after being born is to cry. Why do we feel it's more shameful as we get older?" Qingyun Tiankong turned over, lay on the sofa, and swung his legs.

"If the trainer is feeling uncomfortable, you can always rely on me, Qingchan. Whether it's cleaning your ears with your knees resting on your head or anything else, it's up to you. Qingchan is bleeding a lot this time."

"Not interested. I'm still working. You have to come when I'm the busiest."

"Then let's wait until you have time. I, Qingjiang, am a person who cherishes my friends very much." After saying that, Qingyun Tiankong closed his eyes peacefully.

Chapter 272 The Person Who Knows Me Least

"Hi~ You must be the little horse girl who walks with the wind, hello!"

There is no point in dwelling on past games. Instead of regretting the loss, it is better to focus on the next game.

Bai Xue made this decision. On the road, she met a brown-haired girl with a strange accent. She was wearing red sunglasses and her standing posture looked like she had just returned from Hawaii.

Bai Xue knew that she was one of the contestants in this year's post-crown competition, Caizhu. The opponent was also listed by Bai Xue as a dangerous character with the same aura as the Golden Ship.

"I actually put on a defensive expression. Hum, it looks like you've discovered me."

What did I find?

"That's right, I'm the villain who's going to push you back into the abyss after you've climbed up again, Miss~Red!" She posed and winked at Bai Xue, "I watched your game, it was really amazing. You have the potential to become a hero, and I will be the monster who defeats you! Remember my name, Miss Red! And I will be back!"

She gave Bai Xue a thumbs up, then turned and ran away.

What on earth was she doing here, declaring war? Why was she looking for me, the second place?

"Hahaha! You are the winner of that game! I watched your game, it's really amazing! You have the potential to become a hero!" The sound of Caizhu came from the corner of the corridor again. Fujiwara Shirayuki stuck her head out and found Mejiro Dobo who was entangled by her.

This thing... is really a golden ship.

In the past, Mejiro Dobo couldn't deal with this kind of person and needed Shirayuki to come to her rescue, but now she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry." She waved to the other party and walked past calmly, completely ignoring Caizhu who was shouting "No~!"

Now, Mejiro Dobo has become a young lady who can stand on her own.

I'm so proud of your growth, Dob.

No longer paying attention to this side, Bai Xue came to the student union room. Today was another day for routine inspection. The work that originally belonged to the gas tank gradually shifted to Bai Xue, from solving conflicts between students to handling Tresen's affairs. Bai Xue participated in all of them, and the students gradually accepted Bai Xue who replaced the gas tank and began to look for her for anything.

So now, Bai Xue also has the identity of the second generation of the "Empress", and some students call her the "Little Empress" privately.

Of course, the name doesn’t matter, and Bai Xue doesn’t really care about what students think of her. What does matter to Bai Xue is her anger.

She had studied with him for so long, but still couldn't beat Mejiro Dobo, and suffered a crushing defeat in her first battle. This damaged the reputation of the "Empress". Bai Xue felt that Qi Cao must be very angry. She was afraid that when she arrived at the Student Union, he would get furious. She was even more afraid that Qi Cao would directly say "You are the worst class I have ever taught", and then she would be speechless.

Standing in front of the student union, Bai Xue felt like she was standing in the chairman's office. She felt a stomachache and after giving herself two gasps, she walked into the room.

"Fujiwara Shirayuki is here to report."

The room was the same as usual, with Rudolph sitting in the middle, and Narita Bairen and Qi Cao standing on his left and right. When he saw her, Rudolph greeted her warmly.

"Come here, Bai Xue, sit down first."

"Yes." Bai Xue answered. She glanced at the gas tank and the other party nodded slightly, looking calm as usual.

Bai Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Based on her understanding of Qi Cao, when the other party was hiding his anger, even if he didn't show it on the surface, his eyes would be terrifyingly cold. Once, the Emperor scattered the vase of the Student Union, and Qi Cao's eyes were so cold that it seemed as if he wanted to cut the other party into pieces. Scared the Emperor so much that he hid under Rudolph's desk and dared not come out.

It seems that the other party did not blame her for the failure.

"Shirayuki, Tresen's anniversary is in a few days. We hope to give the students an unforgettable show before the holiday. What do you think would be good?"

Now Rudolf has begun to refer to her opinions. Compared with her and Qi Cao, Bai Xue, who is standing among the students and mingling with everyone, understands the students' needs better. As for Narita Bairen... it's better not to mention him.

School anniversary?

Bai Xue recalled that at this time last year, Treson held a water gun event, and Qianye's notebook was scrapped at that time.

She didn't want to go through these painful past events again, so even if she wanted to have an unforgettable celebration, Bai Xue hoped it could be a peaceful one.

"How about a dance?" Snow White answered after thinking for a while.

"Dance party..." Rudolph looked at the gas tank next to him.

"I feel very good."

"That's settled then." Rudolph nodded.

I just mentioned it casually and it passed?

"Then Bai Xue, you will be responsible for arranging the relevant contents, and let Qi Tan assist you."

"Me? I'll arrange it?"

"Yes, there have been times in the past when Qigou arranged activities by himself, so this time you will give it a try."
