Half of a Umamusume

"Last night...the girl in white, she dropped her things. I found them this morning and was just about to give them to her." Xie Rong Sanyue took out a handkerchief and handed it to Fujiwara Chiya. "You are her trainer, so I gave it to you."

After saying that, Xie Rong Sanyue turned and left, not wanting to stay for a moment.

Fujiwara Chiya looked at Shirayuki's handkerchief. Could it be that it was Kyoei Sanyue who carried Shirayuki back to the room last night?

Chapter 291: The Depressed Golden Ship

More than a week has passed since he arrived at the venue. Fujiwara Chiya's daily routine is training, resting, training, and resting. The nervousness and discomfort he felt when he first arrived have disappeared, and Fujiwara Chiya has completely integrated into such a regular schedule.

But not everyone likes this kind of life. For example, the excitement that Golden Ship felt when it first arrived has disappeared. After circling the surrounding gardens, forests and training grounds several times, Golden Ship is now left with only emptiness.

There are too few people here.

Looking around, there were only three or five of them scattered around, strolling leisurely, looking indifferent, and this seriously restricted the performance of the Golden Ship. Even if they caused trouble for those people, they would not say or do anything.

And not being able to do anything is tantamount to chronic death for Huang Jinchuan. Every day she lives here, her life is reduced by one day. Just thinking about this makes Huang Jinchuan tremble with fear all over. She must find herself again.

"So, trainer, let's go back!" Golden Ship pushed the door open with a bang and rushed into Fujiwara Chiye's room. The man put on his clothes in a panic.

"Golden Ship, why didn't you knock when you came in? And didn't I lock the door?"

"The door in here can be pried open with a plastic card. What are you doing, trainer? Are you generating electricity yourself? Then maybe I should wait for you to finish."

"I'm checking my body, please be normal."

Fujiwara Chiya thought it was Yae Mudi who came in. The two of them had an awkward moment before. But looking at Golden Ship, the word awkward did not even exist in her dictionary.

"Where should I check? Up or down? Do you want me to help you?"

“No need.” Fujiwara Chiya took off his shirt and turned his back to the mirror. There was a red mark on his shoulder, which was caused by the beating caused by Shihanta during training. It seemed that he saw that his body was different from that of an ordinary person, so he directly used the training intensity he used on horse girls, and the pain increased by several levels.

Yae Wudi recommended him several medicines, which he should apply to the wound after getting injured, and the wound would heal by the next day. She had been injured often before, so she was quite familiar with the medicines.

"Oh~" Looking at Fujiwara Chiya's body, Huang Jinchuan came over and looked at him, "Trainer, the muscles you were once so proud of seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Did you lose weight?"

"without……"

Fujiwara Chiya also noticed that the muscles he had worked so hard to build up were gradually disappearing, but in contrast, his strength was increasing day by day.

The golden ship reached out and touched it, and a "roar~" sound came out of his mouth.

It's so strange. There was a girl touching my body, but I didn't feel anything. As expected, in my mind, the golden ship has been ruled out by the inequality sign with girls. I should treat it as a special creature independent of the world.

“The meat is delicious and has a smooth texture. It is a top-quality piece of meat.”

"You couldn't find anyone to go crazy with, so you came to me?"

"You actually figured it out. You're worthy of being a trainer." As he said that, Huang Jinchuan pinched him hard, causing Fujiwara Chiye to scream out in pain.

"I can't stand it anymore, trainer, let's go back! Treson is calling us! There is nothing here, no TV, no game room, no pineapple pie, and more importantly, no people!" This is something the Golden Ship absolutely cannot tolerate! She wants people, she wants living people! No matter if they are men, women, old people or children!

"You have evolved to a level that I cannot comprehend, so can you go and play?"

"In that case, I can only kill you first and then commit suicide myself."

"stop--"

The two men wrestled in the room, and eventually Fujiwara Chiye was defeated.

"If you want to go back, I'll take you back first."

"Wouldn't that make me look like a deserter? I can't go back unless you guys leave. If we want to run, let's run together. That way, we don't have to worry about being court-martialed."

"You're still not satisfied!"

The two twisted together again, and finally lay on the ground panting. As a horse girl, Golden Ship actually felt that she could no longer control her trainer.

Too scary, is this guy a monster? The Golden Ship was secretly surprised.

"We are only halfway through training, how can we just leave like that?"

"In that case, come and have some fun with me."

"I'm a serious adult, and I want to have fun with a weird alien like you? You must be joking."

"Do you believe me? I rushed into your room in the middle of the night and yelled 'molest'."

"You want to perish with me!?"

"My life is already dull and bleak. If I can drag my trainer along on this journey, it would be a good ending for me."

Fujiwara Chiya could see that the Golden Ship was really bored during this period of time. After all, there were only a few teammates in it, and except for Shirayuki, the others were not so easy to tease. But Shirayuki had basically no free time except for staying in the gym or running.

So she had to find herself and vent her anger with all her might.

Looking at the golden ship that jumped onto his bed and rolled into a ball, Fujiwara Chiye had no choice but to agree to accompany her out.

"Really?"

"Let's go to the town at the bottom of the mountain and see what's fun."

"Hey! The trainer is leaving." She threw the quilt aside, took Fujiwara Chiya's hand and walked out. This was how Chiya felt when he was forcibly dragged out by his roommate in college.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, Golden Ship remembered something and pointed to a secluded path: "By the way, trainer, there is a waterfall over here, did you know that?"

"Fall?"

"Hehe, you don't know, I have been touring the entire mountain during this period of time!"

Then you are really free.

"Want to take a look?"

"Let's go." Anyway, he was out to play with Huang Jinchuan, so it didn't matter where they went. After they walked for a while, they heard the sound of splashing water. Sure enough, they saw a big waterfall, about seven or eight meters high. Just as Fujiwara Chiye was about to get closer, he saw a figure under the waterfall. He grabbed Huang Jinchuan with his backhand.

"Wait, there's someone."

Following Fujiwara Chiya's line of sight, the Golden Ship also saw the pink figure.

"Isn't this the one who's always being harassed by the trainer? Why is she here too?"

"What do you mean by being harassed by me? It's obviously your fault."

"You are my boss, my mistake is your fault." Just as the two were arguing, a large piece of wood floated down from above and hit Xie Rong Sanyue on the head of the waterfall right on the bull's eye. With a loud bang, the piece of wood broke into two.

"Trainer, her head seems to be solid."

Regardless of whether it was real or not, Fujiwara Chiya looked at Kyoei Sanyue who was standing unmoved in the waterfall and narrowed his eyes.

It seems that I am not the only one who has come here to practice hard.

Chapter 292: Half Technology, Half Instinct

There were thudding sounds of footsteps in the gym. Yaezun Invincible punched as fast as the wind, and hit Bai Xue in the face. The latter dodged by twisting her body. Yaezun Invincible attacked again and again, and Bai Xue also dodged in various ways.

Wearing heavy protective gear, her body moved slowly as if she was stuck in a quagmire, but after half a month of training, Bai Xue is now able to dodge the attacks of the Eightfold Invincible. When the opponent's fist hits her chest, she steps on the ground with her calves and pushes back, twisting her waist, turning her body, and finally shaking her shoulders to move her body sideways.

It was just a simple movement, but it used all the muscles in her body. In contrast, the body wearing heavy protective gear turned at an unimaginable speed.

The moment Bai Xue turned her body, Yaezun Wudi did not miss the opportunity and kicked her legs away. While she was off balance, Yaezun Wudi took a deep breath, bent over, and punched Bai Xue solidly. Bai Xue felt a huge force coming and flew sideways. She rolled on the ground for several times and lay motionless.

Yae Wudi was stunned for a few seconds, then hurried over.

"Bai Xue!" She helped Bai Xue up and asked hurriedly, "Are you okay?"

"It's... it's okay..." The protective gear on his stomach was dented downwards. Yaezhe Wudi had just used all his strength.

Because Bai Xue's dodging action was not something a novice could do, for a moment Yajue Invincible treated the other party as his enemy and instinctively used his special move. Fortunately, the plate armor on Bai Xue's body helped her block the punch, otherwise she would have fainted.

After taking a few breaths, Bai Xue wiped the sweat off her face and got up.

"I am really surprised..." Yae Wudi couldn't help but sigh.

She didn't expect that Bai Xue would be able to comprehend the secrets of the body in such a short time. All the movements were not completed by a single part of the body. Take the dodge just now for example. An ordinary person would only move his upper body, or turn his waist, but Bai Xue used his shoulders and ankles at the same time, which made her movements look extremely smooth and swift.

The same is true for running. Not only does it use the strength of the legs, but their arms, waists, and even toes can be transformed into forward momentum. This is a whole-body movement and is not limited to a certain part.

It sounds simple, but even if you tell this to others, they will not be able to understand it. You must try it yourself and feel this state with your body. Moreover, depending on each person's physical fitness, people who are not coordinated may never be able to understand it in their entire lives.

I didn't expect Bai Xue to achieve this within half a month.

"I have also... found a special method." Bai Xue smiled. In addition to Yae Wudi, there was an even more powerful opponent waiting for her at night. Every time Bai Xue ran, she would be half-conscious. But it was also because of this that Bai Xue understood what that person said.

'Abandon complicated thoughts and give your body to the most primitive feelings.'

Just now, Bai Xue acted half way without thinking and based on instinct. Sometimes thinking too much will only slow down the body.

Of course, Bai Xue also knew that what Yaezhe Wudi praised her for was not her increased strength, but the change in her state. She had just seen it. If Yaezhe Wudi really tried his best, he would only need one move to knock her to the ground and she would be unable to stand up.

However, Bai Xue decided at the beginning that she entered the gym for competition, not to become invincible. She just wanted to learn what she needed.

"I thought it would be great if I could learn a little bit during this period. At this rate, maybe there will be hope."

Yaezhe Wudi was thinking that now that Bai Xue could already feel the flow of power in her body, all she had to do in the next period of time was to improve herself.

Even though Bai Xue rejected her, Yae Wudi already regarded her as his half-junior sister. What Bai Xue learned was the body control method of the Kongo Yaeguchi-ryu that had been passed down from generation to generation in Yae Wudi's family. If Bai Xue could really make good use of this ability and eventually display it in the arena, Yae Wudi would have fulfilled the promise he made to his grandparents to make the family martial arts flourish again.

She helped Bai Xue up and patted her shoulder gently: "Let's stop here today. Go back and have a good rest."

"Yes."

"By the way, since you have reached this level, you need to increase the difficulty of your training in the future and be prepared for injuries in advance."

Bai Xue swallowed and nodded.

"This is what I asked the acting master for." Yaezun Wudi handed Bai Xue a khaki ticket.

"There's a medicinal bath shop in the town below. Go take a dip. It's easy to get blood stasis if you do this kind of training every day. Once too much blood accumulates, it will cause pain. You don't want to suddenly feel pain all over your body during a competition."

Bai Xue took the medicinal bath voucher, hesitated for a few seconds and asked: "How can I repay you, Senior Yae?"

She is now completely accepting benefits from Yaezhe Wudi unilaterally. If she doesn't do something, she will feel uneasy and can't sleep well at night.

"Repay? If so, you can just call me Senior Sister."

"Sister."

Yae Wudi laughed. She touched Bai Xue's head, gave her a few more instructions, and then left the gym.

……

"Shirayuki, you don't even take that thing off when you eat." Huang Jinchuan slurped his noodles, pointed at the protective gear on Shirayuki and couldn't help complaining. After Fujiwara Chiya agreed to go out with her, Huang Jinchuan felt much better and no longer yelled about going back all day.

It was just a pity for Fujiwara Chiya's wallet. He was the one who paid for Huang Jinchuan's trip to the arcade. Once, Huang Jinchuan grabbed five dolls at once when playing the claw machine, but they all fell out. She was so angry that she almost smashed the machine. Fortunately, Chiya stuffed all the change in her pocket into the machine and used her poor skills to force out one doll. Only then was Huang Jinchuan satisfied.

If it was a date, it would be fine to spend some money, but would anyone in this world really date a golden ship? Fujiwara Chiya couldn't imagine what kind of thinking went into someone who thought the golden ship had feminine charm.

"I'm used to it." Bai Xue said casually.

"She has become a masochist... How pitiful."

Bai Xue's eyebrows twitched a few times.

"Speaking of which, trainer, we have been training for such a long time, and Bai Xue is exhausted. Why don't you take some time to rest?"

Is it your turn to say this?

She is the one who has the easiest time now.

"I heard from the people in the arcade that there will be a spring karuta tournament in town on the 20th. Let's go check it out!"

"What's so interesting about karuta?" Fujiwara Chiya was not interested in this traditional game.

"Karuta! There are karuta cards!" Dai Kenfukuai pricked up his ears and stood up. "It's Daikichi, it's Daikichi, trainer!"

Chapter 293: Good luck, it’s good luck!

On the 20th, in response to everyone's request, Fujiwara Chiya brought them to the town at the foot of the mountain to rest. Everyone showed a relieved smile. It seemed that they had been very depressed during this period, but Huang Jinchuan and Daikan Fukulai brought it up.

When Kane Fukulai seemed quite excited and asked her why, she replied, "It was a divination. The divination said that something good would happen on the day of the Utaru Festival. I only understood what the golden ship meant when I heard it."

In other words, will good things happen when I come to this town?

Fujiwara Chiya looked at the signs hung up by various businesses.

'Flowers bloom in Nanbazu, and hide their faces in the cold winter.

This spring the whole house is filled with fragrant flowers.'

It was waka, which Fujiwara Chiya had heard when he was a child, but of course he had only heard it. Apart from those learned in Chinese, he had never memorized any other verses, let alone the verses on karuta. If the good luck that Kenfuku mentioned required playing karuta, Fujiwara Chiya felt that it should have nothing to do with him.

"Trainer, there's a karuta event going on there! Let's go check it out!" When Kanefukura pulled his hand and showed great enthusiasm, Fujiwara Chiya turned to the people behind him and asked, "Does anyone know how to do it?"
