Half of a Umamusume

Mi Yu raised his hand: "I have learned a little, brother."

Fujiwara Chiya glanced at Mebai Dober, who shook his head.

I thought the eldest daughter of the Mejiro family had learned everything. He had a preconceived notion. If Kusanagi Hi was here, he would know. Fujiwara Chiya looked up at the six-digit prize money for the winner of the karuta game, and a lot of prizes.

"Leave this to me! Trainer!" Dai Jian Fulai patted his chest and said, "I know this very well!"

So that's how it is. Today's good luck is to wait for Jian Fulai to win! Otherwise, it's rice bath. It looks like I can have a good meal today.

Half an hour later, Dai Jianfu came back crying.

“All lost!”

Next was Mi Yu. She apologized to Fujiwara Chiya and was eliminated in the second round. There was nothing she could do about it. The residents of the town seemed to have regarded karuta as a tradition. They were all very fierce and could sing out the first two words they opened their mouths. They would not be able to compare with Kenfuku when he came.

But it doesn’t matter. We are out here to have fun today anyway. Winning or losing is not important.

"There's more over there! I'll go check it out, trainer!" Mi Yu was very dissatisfied with what happened just now. After Jian Fulai made the request, she hesitated for a moment and wanted to try again. She actually knew it quite well by heart, but was frightened by the momentum of those people.

Simply Fujiwara Chiya let everyone have fun on their own. During the event, many things were displayed on the street. Fujiwara Chiya saw one when he came over just now. He walked to the roadside stall and looked at an old poster.

It shows a girl with long dark brown hair. She stands in the center of the poster, her red eyes revealing an indomitable aura.

Fujiwara Chiye looked at the boss and asked, "Could this person be..."

"Young man, you know her." The unshaven uncle in his forties said with a smile, "Yes, she is the first triple crown winner, Saint Liet."

really!

Fujiwara Chiya felt that this person looked familiar. Saint-Rite had started competing before he was born, and Fujiwara Chiya had only seen her game videos. In Saint-Rite's era, the [Shining Series] had just been established. She created the first miracle of Uma Musume, winning nine out of twelve games in her career and never falling out of the top three.

Looking at those old posters, Fujiwara Chiya asked, "How much are these? I want them all."

Although he had never seen Saint-Rite's match in person, Fujiwara Chiya grew up listening to her stories and had always admired her.

"Brother, do you like collecting these Uma Musume peripherals?"

"That's it."

Fujiwara Chiya has an entire wardrobe. Even though he was discovered by the chairman and was punished, Fujiwara Chiya still did not stop collecting.

"I have Saint-Rite's autograph here. Do you want it?" The other party took out a round fan with Saint-Rite's name written on it. "She wrote it herself."

Are you selling treasures like this?

"I was a die-hard fan of Uma Musume back then, and I collected a lot of stuff. Unfortunately, the store is not doing well now, so I can only take these things out." The man said, "This used to be one of the Uma Musume training grounds, and it was the largest training ground. Later, when Tresen expanded, the Uma Musume basically stopped coming here."

In the past, we relied on the training ground here to boost the local economy and attract people to visit. Now there are not many people, so the economy is naturally not good.

"I have a lot of good stuff here, do you want to take a look?"

He moved out all the peripheral products he had before, and Fujiwara Chiya was shocked after seeing them.

“Is this a signed photo of Triple Crown Champion Shenzan!?”

She was the president of the second student union of Treson. Rudolph said a lot about Shenzan, and every word was full of admiration for her. In 19 games, she won 15 championships, 4 runner-ups, and all second places. Even today, several years later, it is still an incredible achievement, and few people can break her record.

"Anything else?" asked Fujiwara Chiya.

"You are really ungrateful. Since you want them so much, I will give them all to you." Although he said this, the boss actually didn't want to sell them. After all, these things were out of print, and every time one was sold, there would be one less.

"There is also a horse girl who has disappeared now, but she was once a powerful figure."

The phantom horse named after the hall, at the harvest time, he has a thank-you letter from the other party.

Fujiwara Chiya's hands were shaking. There was once an event held by the central government to send out thank-you letters for the harvest moment, but there were only ten letters. Unfortunately, Fujiwara Chiya was not old enough at that time and could not participate in this event, so he had to give up.

Fujiwara Chiya is now certain that the person in front of him is definitely a die-hard fan of Umamusume.

"Hey, little guy, these things are not cheap." The uncle smiled.

"Can't I get a discount for buying so much?"

"A 90% discount is already the maximum." The other party seemed to be sure that Fujiwara Chiya would not give up.

After gritting his teeth and almost emptying his wallet, Fujiwara Chiya bought these things. On the way back, he found a random seat and sat down to look at the gifts that the triple crown winners gave to their fans.

When he turned to the harvest moment, Fujiwara Chiya saw the following words written on it:

[I am very grateful to the boy who has been sitting at the finish line and supporting me. Because of him, I can cross the finish line faster than others. I am also grateful to you who have always supported me. Because of your support, I can run in this field. If the person who reads this letter is a horse racing girl, as a senior, I want to say to you:

When you muster the courage to face the world, the world will open its doors to you. As a horse girl, you must move forward courageously.]

"Trainer, I lost again!" Dai Jianfu came running over.

"The divination clearly said today would be a good day, why did this happen?"

“It’s good luck, it’s good luck!” Fujiwara Chiya laughed loudly, the soul of Uma Musume in his body burning brightly under the words of these once powerful men.

Chapter 294: The Stage Where Cherry Blossoms Fly

There was another loud noise in the gym. Bai Xue's body flew into the air and then landed steadily on the ground. Yae Invincible did not attack her like before, but stood in place and clasped his fists towards her.

"There's nothing left for me to teach you."

If it is for competitions, what Bai Xue has learned is enough. The next things are items that are not related to competitions, such as joint techniques, etc. Those are courses in the dojo, not competition courses.

After hearing what Yaezunori said, Bai Xue also bowed to her. Near the end of the month, she was finally able to dodge all of Yaezunori's moves. Her body also felt completely different from before. Her muscles were clear and distinct, and her movements were seamless.

"Yae-senpai, thank you for taking care of me during this period."

"When are you going to leave?"

"tomorrow."

"I see...it was such a short meeting." Yae Wudi smiled. During the time that Bai Xue was around, she rediscovered the feeling of her first contact with martial arts, which made her very fascinated. Perhaps in the future she will not find an opponent like Bai Xue who has the patience to train with her.

Walking up to Shirayuki, Yae Invincible hugged her tightly.

"Competition, keep going."

"Ah."

At night, Bai Xue thanked the black figure, but the other party didn't say a word and just disappeared silently into the night. Even after so long, Bai Xue still couldn't guess the man's character. He was neither happy nor sad, and was indifferent to everything except running.

The next day, when Bai Xue took off the heavy protective gear and slowly walked outside, at that moment, she felt like she was reborn.

She could not feel the weight of her body, as if she had merged into the air, extremely transparent.

Everyone looked at Shirayuki with their mouths open.

At this moment, Bai Xue had an indescribable sense of agility. Although her appearance had not changed at all, everyone felt that she was a completely different person than before she came in.

"I see you hanging out in the gym all day long. I wonder what's going on. Could it be that you went there to strengthen your body?" Huang Jinchuan patted Bai Xue's shoulder, and she soon realized something was wrong. Bai Xue's arms were so soft that they seemed to be able to suck her fingers in.

Not only soft, but also very elastic!

Fujiwara Chiya moved the set of protective gear into the car. Yae Mudi said that these things were gifts for Bai Xue. There was also a ticket to the gym in Yae Mudi's hometown. Judging from her expression, she seemed to want herself to go there later.

Fujiwara Chiya put the ticket into his pocket. He would definitely visit the family when he had time in the future. After saying goodbye to the housekeepers who had taken care of him, the group got on the return vehicle. A few hours later, a familiar door appeared in front of Fujiwara Chiya. The Golden Ship cheered and ran out in a hurry before the car stopped. Fujiwara Chiya packed his luggage and got out of the car.

After a month's absence, I finally returned to Tresen College.

Unlike the summer training camp, he had experienced so many things this month that he felt like each day was a year. Shihantai's strictness towards him was almost the same as Yae Mudi. In the end, Fujiwara Chiya barely managed to remain unmoved when Shirayuki was beaten.

Junchuan Tezuna was standing at the door, greeting them with a smile on his face.

"Welcome home," she said.

"Well, I'm back."

Tresen is still better. It’s a secluded place that’s enough to go there once in a while.

Tetsuna Shunkawa turned to look at Shirayuki beside him with a look of surprise on his face.

"It looks like you guys had some great special training this month."

"Thanks to your recipe, I have enough nutrition. Otherwise, I would be exhausted now."

"That's good." Shogawa Tezuna's face fell on the package behind Fujiwara Chiya, "Did you bring those back from the training ground?"

"These are... some little gadgets I bought." Fujiwara Chiya laughed. He didn't want Junchuan to see these peripherals he bought. It would be quite embarrassing for a trainer to collect these things like a fan.

Fortunately, Junchuan Tezuna didn't ask too many questions, but just told him to go to bed early.

After returning to Tresen, Fujiwara Chiya came to the chairman's office. In addition to Akikawa Yayoi, there was another person inside, the yellow backpacker, Sautake Mei, who was also the person in charge of the Arc de Triomphe project.

Seeing Fujiwara Chiya, she greeted her warmly.

"Hey, Trainer Qianye, I heard that you went for special training." She raised her hand and placed it on Fujiwara Qianye's neck in a familiar manner, but because she was short, she stood on tiptoe.

"We've been training for a month. Is Mei coming here because of the Arc de Triomphe? Has the plan changed?"

"No, I came here mainly to see the training status of you contestants, and then I heard from Yayoi that you went to special training." She said: "How do you feel, Qianye, can you win the next game?"

“I can’t guarantee that I can win, but…” Fujiwara Chiya covered his chest with his hands, recalling the messages from those influential horse racing girls to their juniors.

“I’m probably going to enjoy that game a lot.”

"How come you said the same thing as Uma Musume? Did you train with them?" Mei Sauyue laughed. "But I feel relieved to hear you say that. It seems that you didn't slack off in training. I look forward to your competition."

After saying that, Mei Sautake said goodbye and left the room. Fujiwara Chiya reported to Akikawa Yayoi about her experience at the gym's training ground. The other party nodded, raised her fan, and said in a sonorous voice:

"Look forward to your and Bai Xue's performance in the arena! Show the results of your training, Qianye!"

"Yes!"

……

[Sakura Sakura], the first battle for the Three Queens' Crown, a once-in-a-lifetime competition for horse girls. A special edition of [Sakura Sakura] is played on the big screen on the street. Information about horse girls such as Snow Dancer, Mejiro Dober, Tsaiju, and Kyoei Santsuki scrolls on the screen. After introducing their identities, the host's powerful voice is heard at the end.

"Who will be crowned the Sakura Queen? Please pay close attention!"

The race was 1,600 meters long, the same as the [Tulip Award]. Passersby stood in front of the screen, discussing the race. The most discussed one was naturally Caizhu, who had recently achieved an impressive record in GⅠ. The second was Mejiro Dobo, who had shown amazing strength in the [Tulip Award]. Then came Snow Dancer and Kyoei Sanyue. The race was a battle for the top four.

Of course, some people also expect a dark horse to emerge in the competition and detonate the whole audience.

Standing in front of the square, Bai Xue looked at the huge screen scrolling her photos, as if the whole world was discussing their affairs.

Umamusume must keep moving forward, and in Incheon where cherry blossoms are flying, it is finally her turn to step onto the stage.

Chapter 295: Give You My Heartbeat

[Cherry Blossom Viewing] The day before, Bai Xue did not train, but instead came to the training ground to watch others running, and Qing Yun Tian Kong walked up to her.

"Is it okay to be so relaxed, trainer?" She put her hands behind her head and smiled her usual unpredictable smile. "The competition is tomorrow. Isn't it too early to relax now?"

"Observing the opponent is also part of the game." Bai Xue looked at Caizhu and Xierong Sanyue running on the field. The two were making the final pre-match adjustments.

"Speaking of which, I fooled the trainer last time. I have to remind you that these people are not running at full speed now. Their real strength is much greater than it looks."

"I can feel it."

"How do you feel? It seems like it will be troublesome to win the competition with you in the future. It's a headache. What a headache." Qingyun Tiankong said this, his tone still light and flirtatious.

"Why are you running over here? Are you observing your opponents? They are no match for you."

"Ao-chan, of course you came here to cheer up the trainer, but it looks like you don't need it." The sky-blue eyes on Shirayuki's face revealed a luster that had never been seen in the blue sky. Even when facing a once-in-a-lifetime competition, there was no tension or hesitation in her eyes.

This mentality is completely different from what it was before going to the training ground.

"But Qingchan still has something I want to give to the trainer."

"what?"

She smiled mysteriously, and then hugged Bai Xue from behind.

"This is Qingchan's heartbeat, the heartbeat of persistence and desire for victory. Now Qingchan is handed over to the trainer. I hope the trainer can bring back victory in the game."

The soft chest was pressed tightly against Bai Xue's back, and he could feel the throbbing sound inside her body. Half a minute later, Qing Yun Tiankong let go of his hand.

"Okay, now Qingchan's heart is on the trainer, so I'll look forward to tomorrow's game." Qingyun Tiankong's smile became a little more shy. She waved to Baixue, and then left the stadium happily.

Heart?...Bai Xue looked at the figure leaving under the blue sky.

I do get it, Sky.

Just wait and see tomorrow's game.

……

The next day, Fujiwara Chiya received a knock on the door by Katsumura Yota, who was wearing a uniform and ready to go.

"Where are you going?" Fujiwara Chiye asked in a daze.
