Half of a Umamusume

"Of course it's the competition venue. What's wrong with you? Why haven't you gotten up yet?"

"It's not time to get up yet."

"Are you kidding me? Today is the Triple Crown Tournament! And it's Bai Xue's match. Are you sleeping here leisurely? Brother Long and the others have already gone to the stadium!"

"How come you are more excited than me..."

"That's what I wanted to ask, what are you thinking about being so leisurely during the Triple Crown."

After being pulled by Katsumura Yota, Fujiwara Chiya put on his clothes. As it was a heavyweight GⅠ match, most of the trainers would be there to watch the fight, and those colleagues greeted Fujiwara Chiya one after another.

"Come on, Qianye, we've made a bet. If you win, he'll treat us to a seafood buffet for a week!" they said half-jokingly.

Everyone knows the pressure of the Triple Crown. It is not only a test for the horse girls, but also a test for the trainers. Some trainers are even so nervous that they are hospitalized before the competition because they cannot bear the pressure. Some horse girls are so nervous that they vomit when facing a once-in-a-lifetime competition.

So this group of trainers teased each other to help Qianye relieve his emotions.

Although Qianye is not anxious at all now.

He felt wonderful and indescribably relaxed.

After thanking them, Fujiwara Chiya came to her team. They had already gathered. Fujiwara Chiya glanced at Mejiro Dobo and then at Shirayuki. They both had already changed into their winning uniforms.

Fujiwara Chiye closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and said to the others, "Let's go to the stadium!"

"Welcome to Hanshin Racecourse! The first match of the Triple Crown, the 1,600-meter [Sakura Festival]! Eighteen runners will appear, and each one of them is one of the strongest lineups!"

The host's voice resounded throughout the stadium, cherry-red petals floated on the track, and outside the Hanshin Racecourse, the cherry trees planted in rows were in full bloom, and the entire city was dotted in pink.

After leaving the lounge, Shirayuki saw Xie Rong Sanyue who had just come out from the opposite side. His pink eyes met Shirayuki's gaze, and in an instant Shirayuki felt the surging fighting spirit from the other party.

I wasn't the only one training that day. Since Xie Rong Sanyue met her so late, it meant that she was also training late at night. Under the guidance of an experienced trainer, she must have her own trump card.

Bai Xue didn't dare to underestimate her.

"Hi~Lady!" A rather impressive voice came from her ear, and a brown figure hugged Bai Xue's neck. The man raised his eyebrows and said, "Wow~"

It was Caizhu, a strange woman who called herself a villain, the Golden Ship No. 2. She greeted Bai Xue very familiarly, was very surprised when she touched her shoulder, and then curiously reached out and pinched it, which was exactly the same as the Golden Ship.

"Are you interested in being my body pillow? Five thousand yen a night."

"The snow is mine."

Mejiro Dobo walked out the door and warned Caizhu.

"Are you already in love? But it doesn't matter, I'm Red! I can bully her over to you when you're not paying attention! Hahaha~!"

Mejiro Dober narrowed her eyes and ignored Caizhu's words. Ever since she entered Tresen, Mejiro Dober had dreamed of winning the post-crown competition, not only for the glory of the Mejiro family, but also for herself. At this moment, Mejiro Dober was more nervous than anyone else, and she was not in the mood to joke.

Seeing the other person's expression, Shirayuki walked over to Mejiro Dober and patted her on the back.

"Sister Duo." Bai Xue said, "Who do you think the cherry blossoms will adorn this time?"

Mejiro Dober was stunned for a moment. She looked at the determined expression on Bai Xue's face, recalled her promise to defeat her in the last match, and then said firmly: "Of course it's me."

"Once again, let's fight it out."

"Ok!"

"It doesn't seem as good as I imagined, but I won't give up!" Caizhu was still talking nonsense there. Xierong Sanyue looked at the three of them and obviously didn't want to get involved. The four of them came to the arena, and there was a surge of cheers from the audience.

Rudolph, Narita, Shirahito and Chizou were standing in an independent observation deck on the stadium.

Looking at the grass with falling cherry blossoms, Qicao was filled with emotion. Because of a fever and poor health, she temporarily withdrew from the [Cherry Blossom Viewing] competition, which became Qicao's biggest regret in her life.

"Do you think Snow White's child can continue the legend of the empress?" Rudolf asked.

"I believe her." Qi Cao spoke, and Narita Shirahito shook his head. Looking at the white figure stepping into the arena, Narita Shirahito's instinct was shouting, a warning from one hunter to another.

"She will surpass the Empress."

As the gate indicator lights flashed, eighteen figures started running at the same time.

Chapter 296: Escape at the Beginning

"The competition begins! The first one to attract attention is the pearl collector!"

As the horse girl who won her first GⅠ victory not long ago, she showed amazing acceleration at the beginning of the game and quickly rushed to the front of the team.

"It's a great escape, it's a great escape!" the host shouted excitedly. It's a rare great escape in the Mares Triple Crown!

"I clearly told her to run first!" A trainer in the audience screamed miserably, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the cheers of the crowd.

How could I hold back when I met such an interesting opponent! With a hearty laugh, Caizhu started the race with full firepower, quickly pulling away from the front row. The horse girl who was in second place stared with wide eyes, not understanding what was going on at all.

"No, it's a violent escape. She's running away!"

Unlike the Great Escape, her running style was obviously a runaway, a bit like the feeling given by Twin Turbine, though Pearl is slightly weaker. Still, it was a rare spectacle in the Mares Triple Crown. They had never seen a racehorse girl dare to run like this in [Sakura Viewing], and soon Pearl's running style was greeted with cheers from everyone, except for the trainer who was foaming at the mouth and almost fainted.

Although her actions were rather reckless, they did achieve considerable results. The original game plan was completely disrupted and the horse racing ladies had to judge the situation of the game on their own.

"The second place is Iwatane Kamen, and the third place is Mejiro Dobo!"

Xie Rong March is in sixth place.

Fujiwara Chiya looked at the situation on the field. Bai Xue was running at the back in twelfth place. He glanced at Cai Zhu who was running away in front. The opponent's actions were indeed beyond Fujiwara Chiya's expectations. No matter how you look at it, her training method was advanced. Could it be that there was already a trainer who used the advanced training method to develop a running method of escape?

What kind of god is that?

It seems that I am ignorant.

The pearl-collecting action did not affect Fujiwara Chiya's judgment. His brain was surprisingly calm. In this noisy environment, Fujiwara Chiya felt as if he was in another world. There was only him, the racetrack, and those running horse racing girls.

Compared to being calm while being beaten, the noisy environment around him was terrifyingly gentle.

The race is 1,600 meters long, and the deciding point is on the final 500-meter straight. However, for Bai Xue at this stage, the situation is slightly different. She has to decide the outcome on the final bend, which is about 200 meters long.

In the middle of the team, Bai Xue stepped on the grass. She had never felt her body so light, like a feather floating down to the ground and then jumping high.

The competition gave her a different feeling. Without the heavy protective gear, running was no longer limited to her legs. Her feet landed on the ground, she twisted her waist and shook her arms forward. The power was transferred from her chest to her thighs, and finally gathered in her calves and burst out.

Her body is flowing.

Muscle is like water.

The training time was short, but Bai Xue could indeed feel the power transmitting through her body.

Feel the body, master the body, she finally understood the meaning of this sentence. No matter how many words she used to explain it, she could not understand it. Only by experiencing it personally could she know that the stadium was rhythmically moving under her feet.

"The race has come to the second straight, and the one leading now is Caizhu! The second one is Mejiro Dober!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the second place player didn't want to be distracted by Caizhu and deliberately slowed down, Mejiro Dober ran ahead of the opponent and took away the leading position. The trainer didn't give her too detailed tactics for this game. After all, the schedule was the same as that of [Tulip Appreciation]. The only change was the opponent. There were several opponents worth paying attention to in this game.

The first one was Caizhu, who was running in the front and was almost losing. The opponent ran for his life from the beginning, catching Mubai Duobo off guard. He almost caught up with him because of his desire to win.

And the second one is Snow White.

Mejiro Taboro saw Shirayuki's special training, wearing such heavy protective gear every day. As the days passed, Mejiro Taboro found that Shirayuki's movements were getting faster and faster. By the last period of time, Shirayuki was able to live a normal life.

Mejiro Dobo clearly felt that Shirayuki was becoming stronger and stronger. She wanted to catch up with her, so she tried to ask the trainer for a set of the same protective gear, but she soon found that the training method was not suitable for her. She did not have as big an appetite as Shirayuki, and her body could not keep up with the consumption. If she continued training like this, her condition would only get worse.

So Mejiro Dober gave up and turned to looking for other training methods. Increase the amount of training? The trainer said that if she increased the intensity of training, her body would be at high risk of injury, and it would be almost impossible to quickly increase her physical strength in a short period of time.

So what should I do? Mejiro Dober asked the trainer.

If she wants to defeat Bai Xue again, where should she focus her efforts?

At this time, Fujiwara Chiya gave her the answer.

"Concentrate, just like when you first surpassed Shirayuki."

After her concentration reaches a critical point, Mejiro Dobo's body can exceed its limit. This is her biggest killer, and the object that allows her concentration to reach its peak is naturally Shirayuki.

She would keep a close eye on the opponent and then kill him with one strike.

This is Mejiro Dobo's tactic. Don't worry about other opponents, just kill Shirayuki.

Mejiro Dobo believes that no matter how powerful others are, Shirayuki will definitely rush over, and her goal is to surpass the other party.

Shirayuki will surpass everyone, and I will surpass her! This is the oath that Mejiro Dober made.

The race came to the third bend. Due to the violent escape in the early stage, Caizhu was exhausted. In fact, if she continued to escape like this, other players would be in danger. After all, she had opened up a huge gap in just 800 meters. This speed could only be described as fast as taking off. However, precisely because of her running method that exhausted her physical strength, she experienced the reverse jet phenomenon like a twin turbine, and directly burned herself out.

"I'm... Red!"

Although she was not provoked before the race, she started to run wild on her own, completely ignoring the trainer's instructions. Finally, she stalled. Seeing her like this, the trainer fainted and was carried away by the staff of the racecourse.

After a brief chaos, the game entered the final stage.

"At the final bend, the one leading is Caizhu! Mejiro Dobo is following closely behind, getting closer and closer to Caizhu! Eight horse lengths, seven horse lengths...!"

Just as the horse racing ladies began to accelerate one after another, a pink figure suddenly rushed out of the team and came to the outer lane. Seeing that person, the host shouted, "It's Xie Rong Sanyue! The race has entered the final corner, and Xie Rong Sanyue has begun to accelerate! Wait!?"

Behind Xie Rong Sanyue, a white figure appeared like a gossamer, with sky-blue eyes staring straight ahead.

"The Snow Dancer is starting to exert its power!"

Chapter 297: The Empress Born Under the Cherry Blossoms

There are two types of trainers, those who are imaginative and those who are down-to-earth, and Fujiwara Chiya is undoubtedly the latter.

This kind of trainer will become the most troublesome opponent when he meets a horse girl who is equally down-to-earth. He will not give up until he achieves his goal. Xie Rong Sanyue followed his trainer to the secluded training ground in order to find the horse girl's territory. Coincidentally, the trainer's horse girl was also there.

Fujiwara Shirayuki, she is the relative of trainer Qianye and also his horse girl. She put on that strange equipment on the first day she went to the gym and didn't take it off until the end of the training. Kyoei Sanyue didn't know what it was at first until one night when she came back from training at the waterfall and saw Fujiwara Shirayuki fainted on the ground. Then she realized that she was wearing weight-bearing equipment.

I don't know what she's thinking wearing these things all day long. Full-body training can't increase speed.

[Sakura Viewing] What you need is speed! This is the arena where the fastest horse girl will be determined.

Xie Rong Sanyue wanted to remind the other party that the training method was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have no right to interfere in other people's training. When he met trainer Qianye the next day, Xie Rong Sanyue kept the reminder to himself and found an excuse to leave.

In fact, not being qualified was one thing, and another was that she didn't want the other party to change their training strategy and become stronger.

She wants to win, and she wants to win the [Sakura Viewing] even more. This is her goal and her obsession.

Therefore, she will not leave the victory of this game to anyone else.

The strength gathered at the soles of her feet. Xie Rong Sanyue bent down. With a loud bang, her body shot through the crowd like an arrow. Under the rush of the waterfall, her body became extremely flexible. The cold river water took away her body temperature, but also put her body in a state of burning excitement.

At this moment, Xie Rong San Yue felt her blood boiling and her heartbeat was deafening, but it was not enough, this speed was not enough! She had to concentrate her mental strength into one point, forget about the stadium, forget about the game, and move forward courageously.

But the noisy heartbeat made it difficult for her to concentrate. Never mind, she would first surpass the enemy in front of her!

Entering the curve, Xie Rong Sanyue began to accelerate, and at the same time she heard the host's voice in her ears.

"How fast! The person who suddenly turned from the back of the team to the front is! The Snow Dancer——!"

what! ?

A snow-white figure with a nimble and light body chased after him from behind, and the moment Xie Rong Sanyue entered the outer path, she also began to accelerate.

Everyone looked at her body with their eyes wide open. Her posture leaping on the grass made people involuntarily think of an animal.

Narita Bairen grinned and said, "Look, the hunter is awake."

It’s the white wolf, it’s the white wolf!

Good opera makes me hold my belly and laugh out loud.

"The White Wolf that wiped out the king of a country has bared its fangs at the next enemy!"

The white skirt fluttered behind her, and her swinging hands turned into the claws of a white wolf. Her swift movements were like hunting prey. Xie Rong Sanyue tilted her head and caught a glimpse of Bai Xue's figure, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

what is that?

She couldn't understand. It wasn't a human, it wasn't a horse girl, it was some kind of animal, an animal that had abandoned reason and thought with instinct. She was coming, she was rushing towards me! She opened her sharp teeth and pounced on me!

"So fast, so fast, so fast! Rushing all the way from the back row to the front row! Is Snow Dancer going to wash away the humiliation of the last defeat and win this match in one fell swoop!?"

"Take a breath..." Someone said, and the competition field changed again. Caizhu, who was already exhausted, suddenly started to accelerate again. She was sweating, her expression was extremely excited, and her eyes were fixed on Baixue.

"It's Caizhu, it's not over yet! Caizhu has also charged to the front row, and the race has come to the final straight line!" The host shouted at the top of his lungs: "The leader at this moment is Mejiro Dobo, the second is Kyoei Sanyue, the third is Snow Dancer, and the fourth is Caizhu!"

The race came to the final straight line and the atmosphere in the stadium reached its peak. The Golden Ship slapped the railings and screamed desperately. The famous general Nu Tao and others also shouted with all their strength.

Mejiro Dober clenched her teeth, waiting for the moment when Bai Xue would arrive. She felt that she could not hold on any longer, and a sweet taste of blood filled her throat. She needed to find that figure and push herself to her limits once again.

I could hear footsteps getting closer from behind. Someone was catching up, but that person was not Bai Xue.

Snow White! Where are you?

The sounds around him were getting farther and farther away, and Fujiwara Chiye suddenly found that he could hear nothing. Not only could he hear nothing, he could not feel anything either. The original stadium was getting farther and farther away, and finally turned into a dot of light.

thump!
