Half of a Umamusume

"Wait for the poetry drama classmate." The famous general Nu Tao looked at her, "I need to calm down for a while. I feel a little nervous and my chest is short of breath."

"Nutao-san, I felt the same way! That's why I ate an ice cream to calm down before the game."

"Is there any other way? I would have eaten an ice cream earlier..."

"Ah, do you guys still need to eat to calm down?" The girl with reddish-brown twintails walked up to the two of them. "Unlike me, as long as I define myself as an ordinary person, the competition will be stress-free."

"Quality classmate."

Excellent Quality patted himself on the back and said with some pride, "Well, maybe I'll get lucky someday and get first place."

"Luck? My luck has always been bad..." The famous general Nu Tao became even more nervous.

“Haha, my old enemy Nutao! There’s no need to be nervous, just think of it as dancing with me! Feel honored—!”

Good Opera laughed loudly, she looked very comfortable with it.

"Please enter the gate, contestants!"

Perhaps they had been talking for too long, so Ling Amazon urged them again on the podium.

Finally, the famous general Nu Tao walked into the gate.

huh... huh...

My chest feels so tight, as if I've been holding my breath. Calm down, calm down, the famous general Nu Tao suggested to himself.

"Nu Tao-san."

In the contestant preparation area, Mi Yu looked at the competition field with a nervous expression.

The famous general Nu Tao has been in a bad mood since they met today, and Mi Yu is worried that she is sick.

“Maybe it’s because the pressure is too great. For horse girls, this is something they have to go through,” Fujiwara Shirayuki comforted.

"Really……"

Even so, Mi Yu still couldn't let go.

It would be nice if her brother was here. He would be able to comfort her, Mi Yu couldn't help thinking.

Fujiwara Shirayuki crossed her arms and stared at the arena.

Although it is a bit cruel, pressure is necessary for horse racing girls, especially for the famous rider Nu Tao. Only by getting used to the pressure of the arena can she face various competitions calmly. If she can't even do the simulation competition, let alone the big reward competition.

So come on, Nu Tao!

Fujiwara Shirayuki secretly encouraged her.

Inside the gate, the famous general Nu Tao's breathing became more and more rapid, and his voice became louder and louder. The poet next door couldn't help but turn his head.

"Nu Tao, are you really okay?"

"It's okay, I'm okay..."

As she spoke, the famous general Nu Tao forced her attention to the arena. She had to win this match.

The lights at the gate flickered, and with a "beep" sound, the gate opened. Ignoring the stuffiness in his chest, the famous general Nu Tao took a deep breath, gathered his strength, and rushed forward.

Stab it--!

With a crisp sound, the clothes tightly wrapped around the chest of the famous general Nu Tao were torn into two pieces. The two large waves that had been restrained for a long time finally tore open the ill-fitting clothes and broke the chain, and instantly the purple lace bra was exposed.

"Gah——!"

"Um?!"

On the left and right, Excellent Quality and Waiting for the Poetry Drama widened their eyes at the same time, as if they were attracted by the two big, round things. Their heads went blank, and they completely forgot that they were running. They fell to the ground at the same time.

"There's something wrong with contestant number five's costume! Contestants number four and six both fell to the ground!"

In the audience seats, Fujiwara Chiya sat peacefully on the ground.

It turned out that there was nothing wrong with the shoes, but there was something wrong with the clothes.

Nu Tao, you are still as stable as ever...

Two minutes later, the famous athlete Nu Tao ran across the finish line clutching his torn clothes, and was naturally the last one.

"Trainer Fujiwara, it's not easy for you either."

"Eh... I'm used to it."

After crossing the finish line, the competition committee who had been prepared for a long time put clothes on the famous athlete Nu Tao, whose face was red and almost dripping with water. Mi Yu and Fujiwara Shirayuki hurried over.

"Nu Tao-san!"

"Mi Yu... Classmate Bai Xue." Looking at the two of them, the famous general Nu Tao lowered his head in disappointment, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that the team's victory is gone..."

"It's not Nutao's fault, it's that... um." Mi Yu was looking for an excuse.

"It's me." Bai Xue said, "If I had checked carefully, this wouldn't have happened. It's because of my stupid sense of shame and morality. I will completely throw away these two useless things in the future!"

Looking at his two friends who did not scold him even though he failed, the famous general Nu Tao's eyes turned red.

"Thank you, thank you..."

"It's okay, Nutao, you should change your clothes first." Two white spots shone through the arms of the famous general Nutao, and Fujiwara Shirayuki didn't know where to put her eyes.

Shortly after the famous general Nu Tao left, Excellent Suzhi and Daijian Poetry Drama came over. The two people who fell naturally took the second to last and third to last positions. Failure was commonplace for them, but now, the two felt even worse than if they had come in last.

"Violence, that's violence."

"If I keep eating, can I grow that big..."

They floated past Fujiwara Shirayuki like ghosts.

Finally, the competition entered the fourth group.

Chapter 38: Dazzling New Stars

When the competition came to the fourth group, Mi Yu clenched her fists and encouraged herself quietly. Every time she felt nervous and frustrated, she would use this method to help herself cheer up again.

"Mi Yu, come on."

Fujiwara Shirayuki was standing nearby.

"Well, Mi Yu...I will definitely do my best."

Although Mi Yu felt a little envious and jealous of Bai Xue because of her brother's ownership issue, she still knew what was important. The most important thing now was the competition, and she couldn't deliberately ignore the other party just because of Bai Xue's relationship with the trainer.

After calmly accepting the blessing, Mi Yu stepped onto the field.

Shirayuki waved at her.

When they arrived at the competition venue, everyone was making final preparations. Three figures came into view. They were Mi Yu's biggest opponents in this game.

The third one, Twin Turbine, was a girl with blue and purple pupils and a mouthful of jagged teeth. She waved to her classmates.

“I want to take first place!”

The loud voice passed through the crowd and reached Mi Yu's ears.

The second one is Miura Bourbon, with long chestnut hair, blue eyes, and a calm face, as cold as a robot.

The last one, and also the most popular one, is Mejiro McQueen. As a member of the Mejiro family, she showed outstanding results in the first simulation race and was signed by a senior trainer. She is a horse racing girl with both strength and popularity.

Looking like the three of them were at the center of the world, Mi Yu hid at the edge of the training ground.

The light there was so bright that she dared not approach.

Seeing this, Fujiwara Shirayuki came out and held Mi Yu's hand.

"Shirayuki-san...what are you doing?"

"Mi Yu, you have to stand with them."

"What!? No no no no no, I can't do it. Mi Yu is different from them..."

"Listen to me, Mi Yu. Your next opponents will be these people, whether it's a simulation match or the [Shining Series]. If you feel that you are different from them and back off, then you've already lost before the game even starts."

"Rice bath..."

"You are no different from them." Bai Xue held her shoulders. "You can do what they can do. You will surpass them and shine brighter than anyone else."

"Mi Yu, can't do it..."

"Mi Yu, I will let you do it. I mean, we will let you do it. You are no longer alone. The Golden Ship, Raging Waves, and the trainer, all of us will help you. If you feel that you can't do it, come and rely on us. We will give you courage!"

After listening to Fujiwara Shirayuki's words for a while, Mi Yu finally spoke.

"Really... Is that what Shirayuki-san thinks?"

"of course."

With the other party's sincere encouragement, Mi Yu's resentment towards her had been reduced by a lot without him realizing it. Led by Bai Xue, Mi Yu came to the three of them.

"I will definitely try my best to defeat them..."

Mi Yu made up his mind.

"Come on!"

In the audience seats, Fujiwara Chiya held the railing tightly.

"That little black-haired girl is also your horse girl, right?"

"Yes."

"Is she going to run a short distance race?"

"No, I'm going to let her run long distances."

"Really..." Nanase Fumino raised her eyebrows, "I think her body type is not suitable for long-distance running. She is too thin."

"Trainer Naise, you don't understand this." Fujiwara Chiya shook her finger: "Miyu's heartbeat is very strong, far more than that of ordinary horse girls. Don't be fooled by her petite body, she actually has great strength and endurance, far more than what she looks like."

"Heartbeat? I see. But, Trainer Fujiwara, how do you know her heartbeat is so strong?"

Nanase Fumino looked at him with strange eyes, and that look conveyed something implicitly.

"Hey, I didn't touch it, I just heard it."

The image of a man in his twenties putting his ear against a loli's chest emerged in Nanase Fumino's mind.

"Wait a minute, I said I listened to it from a distance."

"Very far..."

The other party's heart is indeed very strong.

"By the way, Trainer Naise, I've been wanting to ask you since a while ago, why are you so motivated today?"

"positive?"

"I mean, you see, you're usually a quiet person, and you don't care about this kind of game, so why are you suddenly so concerned about the game today?"

It was the first time for Fujiwara Chiye to talk so much to the other person, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Nanase Fumino pinched her chin, thought for a while, and then said, "I should say I'm collecting information."

"intelligence?"

"Because the horse girl I trained is of the same generation as you, we will definitely meet in the arena in the future. Before that, I want to collect more information so that I can make plans for the future."

"I thought you came to chat with me, but I didn't expect you were here to spy on the enemy!"

What Fujiwara Chiye didn't expect was that the other party admitted it openly.

"Trainer Naise, if you do this, I will also ask you."

"Just ask."

"Who else is the horse girl you are responsible for besides the Emperor of the East Sea?"

"All of them?"

"My classmate."

"The Divine Eagle, Flying on the Grass, Emperor of the East Sea, Narita Road."

"Okay, from now on I will frantically collect information on them." Fujiwara Chiya made a bold statement.
