Half of a Umamusume

Next to the rice bath, Fujiwara Chiye suddenly knelt down, and he fell forward as if he had lost consciousness.

"Brother!?" Mi Yu supported her in panic. At the same time, Bai Xue suddenly felt that the world had stopped. She was the only one left in the world, running alone in the void of darkness. Only in front of her, there was a needle-tip-sized light.

Thoughts do not exist, feelings do not exist, and even the host's loud commentary cannot be heard.

"It's the Snow Dancer! The Snow Dancer is catching up--!"

The corners of her eyes turned red, and a violent aura filled the air around her. Mubai Dober locked onto her figure, and just when he was about to focus his attention on her, his heart seemed to be pierced by a claw. Suddenly, the fear of being a 'prey' arose in her heart. Looking at Shirayuki with red eyes, Mubai Dober could not even muster the slightest thought of resisting. He just watched her pass by him.

"Five meters left to the finish line!"

Suddenly the voice came into his ears again. Fujiwara Chiye suddenly raised his head, gasping for breath, and cold sweat broke out on his body. At the same time, the pinhole-sized light spot in front of his eyes instantly expanded into the stadium. When Bai Xue regained consciousness, she was standing in front of the finish line and stepped over.

“Cross the finish line!!”

The stadium was struck by a thunderbolt, and it instantly became boiling.

"The winner is born! He repelled Mejiro Dober's pursuit, escaped many powerful men, and won the first of the three crowns [Sakura Award]! His name is - Snow Dancer!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

Bai Xue stopped in a daze, and it took her a long time to understand what had happened. Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of spectators, she raised her fist high.

At this moment, under the embellishment of cherry blossoms, the empress was born.

"See?" Rudolph leaned against the window.

"Yes, there is no doubt about it." Qi Cao clenched his fists: "That is the domain. Although it was only three seconds, Bai Xue did enter the domain."

They could clearly feel the change in Bai Xue's aura. Even though they were far away, they could still feel the fierceness that could not be ignored. Only a horse girl who had entered the field could bring them such a strong stimulation.

"That child has finally taken the first step towards becoming a strong man."

"But this also means that she will face more difficult competitions."

"With the Empress' Staff, it should be fine."

"I'm leaving, President Rudolph." Narita Bairen turned around.

"Are you going back?"

"Well, if I don't go now, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but catch her for a fight." Narita Shirahito turned her head, and her yellow eyes revealed beast-like pupils. Like Shirayuki, she was also a hunter. Hearing the other party's long wolf howl, Narita Shirahito's blood also boiled and burned.

She is a wolf, and a hungry wolf.

"I really want to... compete with her." Muttering this, Narita Shirahito left the observation room.

In the audience seats, Mi Yu hugged Fujiwara Chiye tightly. The famous general Nu Tao next to him also noticed something unusual and knelt nervously beside him.

"Are you okay, brother? Ambulance, call an ambulance quickly!" Mi Yu was so anxious that she was about to cry. Just now, Fujiwara Chiye suddenly fell down, and although he stood up again later, he was still in a daze, as if he didn't know where he was.

Have you been working too hard recently and it has taken its toll on your body?

Could it be that I have caused my brother to worry recently? Mi Yu thought of a thousand mistakes in an instant. She hugged Fujiwara Chiye tightly and kept apologizing. It was all because of her that my brother was exhausted.

"No, it's not your fault, Mi Yu. It's my problem. I was a little anemic and couldn't stand steadily." Fujiwara Chiya made up a lie.

In fact, he didn't know what happened to him. He just felt that the world disappeared in an instant, and then suddenly reappeared. Then Fujiwara Chiye found himself falling into Mi Yu's arms.

The most intuitive description of that feeling is 'emptiness'.

There is nothing, nothing exists, even myself seems very far away.

Could this be the realm that Teacher Tai was talking about? This was a feeling that could not be explained even if one experienced it personally. Thinking back on it, Fujiwara Chiye was terrified. After entering the realm, he lost consciousness.

"Brother?" Mi Yu looked at his face worriedly. Fujiwara Chiye shook his head and said he would think about these things when he got back. The competition had just ended. He touched Mi Yu's head and looked at Bai Xue who was standing in the center of the arena. At this moment, she had officially won the title of the fastest horse girl.

Fujiwara Chiya never thought that there would be a day when she would become a horse girl and receive endless glory.

Caizhu ran to Baixue and shouted, "Beautiful! What was that just now? It passed by in a flash. Did you activate a skill?"

Xie Rong Sanyue looked at the two of them silently, turned his head and clenched his teeth.

As for Mejiro Dobo, after celebrating with Shirayuki, she walked into the contestant channel. Seeing this, Fujiwara Chiya in the distance chased after her.

He saw Mejiro Dober holding onto the wall, his fists clenched.

Hearing the voice, Mebai Dober turned her head. She was gasping for breath, her eyes full of tears.

“Trainer…” She walked up to Fujiwara Chiya and hugged him tightly.

"I lost... I missed the only chance to view the cherry blossoms..." She started to cry, feeling extremely regretful. She wondered why she had been so timid at the last moment, why she had chosen to retreat before the finish line. She wanted to slap herself hard at that moment, but no matter how much she regretted, she could not change the situation of losing.

Fujiwara Chiya looked at Mejiro Dobo in his arms and touched her head.

This is the game, the winner accepts cheers and praises, the loser sheds tears in private. Fujiwara Chiya will not regret what he has done. He will be proud of winning the game and will also feel sorry for Mejiro Dober's failure. This is a contradiction he must bear, which was destined from the moment Fujiwara Chiya acknowledged his identity.

"Trainer... Trainer..." Mejiro Doberman completely let down his guard and cried bitterly while hugging Qianye.

Mi Yu and others who were leaning over the side wanted to come over, but were stopped by the golden ship.

"Leave this to the trainer."

Just like that, amid the noise outside and the silence in the corridor, the [Cherry Blossom Viewing] came to an end.

……

"Congratulations, Chiya." In the chairman's office, Mei Satsuki hooked her arm around Chiya Fujiwara's neck, her face full of excitement: "The news of Shirayuki's strong victory has spread throughout Tresen. Now everyone calls her the Sakura Queen."

"what……"

Fujiwara Chiya knew what was going on. After she won, a group of juniors immediately surrounded her the next day at school. They excitedly introduced themselves to Shirayuki and expressed their admiration for her.

Now Fujiwara Chiya understands the feeling of being a popular figure. People turn around to look at her so often, and she can hear people talking about her name wherever she goes.

However, compared to the Sakura Queen, people are more accustomed to calling her the 'Empress'.

At first, I felt a little uncomfortable when I heard the younger generations calling me "Empress". But after more and more people called me that, I gradually got used to it.

"Now that you have won the [Sakura Tournament], your goal for the next game is..."

"[Excellent mare]." Fujiwara Chiya answered. That is the Japan Oaks, the second crown of the queen's crown. It is in the second half of May, less than two months away from the [Sakura Viewing]. The two races are quite close, and the second one basically follows right after the other.

However, even though time was tight, Fujiwara Chiya still decided to rest for a few days after the game. His body really couldn't take it anymore, and he hadn't relaxed since the special training began.

"I have a great place here. I guarantee you'll be able to relax." Mei Sautake smiled, then raised her eyebrows at Yayoi Akikawa behind her, who handed her a ticket with [Tokyo Amusement Park] written on it.

"This is a limited-time ticket. People are restricted from entering and exiting on that day. You don't have to queue up, and you can enjoy the rides as much as you want."

Just by looking at the gold-rimmed cover, you can tell that this ticket is worth a lot of money, just like the hot spring ticket last time. The chairman just gave it to him casually.

Fujiwara Chiya really wanted to ask the chairman if he had any special treatment for him, but after thinking about it, he kept his mouth shut. What if every winning trainer had special treatment? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for him to say that?

In the end, Fujiwara Chiya thanked her and left, and Sautake Mei patted Akikawa Yayoi on the shoulder.

"If you want to give it to him, just say so. You don't have to make up an excuse."

"I want you to manage."

Chapter 298 I like Snow White and the trainer

When Fujiwara Chiya returned to the office, he found Mejiro Taha waiting for him with a pink lunch box in his hand. When he saw Fujiwara Chiya enter the room, Mejiro Taha stood up in a panic.

"Sorry trainer, I just knocked on the door, but no one was there so I came in without permission."

"It's okay." It was rare for Mejiro Dober to come over at this time. He must have something to do. Fujiwara Chiya guessed that it was most likely about the game. After he sat on the sofa, Mejiro Dober said shyly, "I really troubled the trainer yesterday."

Because of the loss in the competition, she hugged Fujiwara Chiya and cried. Later, Fujiwara Chiya took her outside to relax. At night, Mejiro Dobo finally came out of the shadow of failure.

It's not like she hasn't failed before, but losing in such an important competition was a huge blow to Mejiro Dober.

"This one's for the trainer."

Mejiro Dober pushed the pink lunch box over, which contained some desserts she had made as an apology gift for yesterday.

Mejiro Dober twisted his hands nervously together, his eyes kept darting back and forth between Fujiwara Chiya and the ground, and finally Mejiro Dober said, "Trainer, are you willing to listen to me talk about Shirayuki and me?"

"of course."

He thought that Mejiro Dobo had asked him to come to talk about the competition, but looking at her expression, it seemed that she simply wanted to chat with him, so Fujiwara Chiya naturally didn't mind.

"I... am very grateful to Shirayuki."

Mejiro Dobo started talking about her and Shirayuki, telling her how Shirayuki had always helped her from the time they met until now. Fujiwara Chiya naturally knew all this, but still pretended to be surprised.

After Mejiro Dobo finished speaking, Fujiwara Chiya replied in a serious tone: "I see, Shirayuki also did those things."

"Well, I fell in love with Bai Xue at that time." Mebai Dober said with a blush.

In fact, Fujiwara Chiya helped her mainly because of the commission from the Mejiro family, and she also had her salary settled every day. Otherwise, even if they were roommates, she would not have taken such dedicated care of her.

Later, Mejiro Tabo's condition improved and the commission ended, but several months had passed and their feelings were no longer tied to their salary, so the relationship formed naturally.

"At that time, I even had the thought, 'If Shirayuki could become my trainer and train me forever.' At that time, I was always ignoring the efforts of the trainer." Mejiro Dober frankly admitted her despicable thoughts. After all, it was Shirayuki who was giving her instructions at that time. In Mejiro Dober's heart, Fujiwara Chiya was just a figurehead to her.

Later, Dober Mejiro realized how stupid his ideas were. All her training plans were instructions from her trainer, who had thought about them day and night and summarized them. Shirayuki only expressed Chiye's ideas, but Dober Mejiro took it as Shirayuki's work.

Shirayuki was indeed very good to her, but Fujiwara Chiya could not be ignored either. It was not until she had a formal competition with Shirayuki that Mejiro Dobo realized how important the trainer was to her.

Accompanying her in the almost rude training and trying to help her do her best, during that time, Mejiro Dober clearly felt the trainer's dedication to her, and gradually, the trainer occupied an extraordinary position in her heart.

Yesterday the trainer walked with her for a long time and talked to her a lot, helping her to untie her knot and prepare for the next game. To be honest, half of her success today is due to Bai Xue, and the other half is due to the trainer.

"I like Shirayuki, but... the trainer is also someone I can't ignore. Wouldn't it be unfair to Shirayuki if I think this way?" Mejiro Dober spoke in a low voice, and she looked at Fujiwara Chiya nervously.

The man's head was a little tangled. He pinched his chin and thought quickly. Could it be that what Mebai Dober meant was that she also had a crush on me? If I really wanted to say sorry, I should have said sorry a long time ago. It's because the situation here is so complicated.

"Anyway, I just wanted to talk to the trainer about this today. Thank you for your help all the time, trainer." Mejiro Dober bent down and then left the room.

After closing the door, Mebai Dober stopped walking, leaned against the wall and slowly squatted down.

What on earth am I doing…

On the one hand, she said that she liked Shirayuki, and on the other hand, she was showing kindness to the trainer. At this moment, it was as if there was a balance in Mejiro's heart, prying back and forth between the trainer and Shirayuki. For some reason, what the trainer did to her always reminded Mejiro's Mejiro of Shirayuki, and what Shirayuki said made Mejiro's Mejiro think of the trainer involuntarily.

The figures of the two people kept appearing alternately in Mejiro Dober's mind, and she no longer knew what to do.

"Dober, what are you doing squatting here?"

A gentle figure passed by, and Dobo Mubai raised his head and saw his sisters, his eyes bright.

As sisters who have been together since childhood, Mejiro Dober and her can talk about almost everything. This was the case when they were worried about the problem of Shirayuki. Mejiro Dober simply took her outside. Sitting on the bench, Mejiro Dober talked about her own troubles. Hearing what the other party said, Mejiro Guangming looked up.

"Well, I kind of understand what Dob is thinking."

“I am a terrible person…”

"I think it's normal. Dob knows what he likes and likes it bravely."

"But is this really okay? What should I do if Shirayuki finds out?"

"In that case, why not just tell her directly?"

“Tell him directly? That’s a bit…”

"Anyway, Dober can't deceive his own feelings. Tell Shirayuki about it and let her make the decision. Dober's condition now will make your heart uneasy even if you are next to Shirayuki." As he said this, Mejiro Mitsuaki touched Mejiro Dober's head.

"Won't she be angry?"

"If you're angry, just apologize. I think if you like something like this, you should be honest with your feelings and don't lie to yourself. Otherwise, you'll only regret it. So tell her clearly. Instead of lying to her like this, it's better to let her scold you."

After hearing what Mejiro Mitsuaki said, Mejiro Dobo hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

However, she still needs some time to prepare. Even Mejiro Taboru himself did not expect that she would fall in love with two people at the same time, and one of them is a man. This is simply impossible for Mejiro Taboru who once dared not even look at his face.

"Give me three... no, five days to prepare! I'll tell you when I've made up my mind."

"Ahhh~" Mubai Guangming smiled softly.

"I am such a greedy person." Mejiro Dobo covered his face and complained to himself in Mejiro Guangming's arms.

Chapter 299 Let's Go Fishing

After the competition, Fujiwara Chiya gave himself three days off. The next day after getting the ticket, he took his horse girl to Tokyo Amusement Park. There were only a few hundred people scattered in the huge amusement park, and there were more staff than tourists. Even if he played for a whole day, he could only experience less than half of the rides.

The Golden Ship was like a madman, hugging him and shouting "Long live the emperor".

Chuan, if you ask me, you should stop being a horse racing girl and be my brother.

The others were also very excited. After all, it was the first time for everyone to come to such a place. The one who performed the most exaggeratedly was Mi Yu. She straddled Fujiwara Chiya's shoulders and kept shouting "Brother" excitedly.

This place satisfied all her fantasies about amusement parks.

The only difference was Mejiro Dobo. She seemed to be hiding from someone. She kept following the famous general Nu Tao and did not come up and hold Shirayuki's hand like she did before.
