Collapse, surrender to me!

Chapter 27 I Have a Celebrity Friend

Grace received Alicia's suggestion.

She thought it made sense.

It's August now, I'll tell you when Hen comes back after the Chinese New Year.

Then I brought Hen to visit Mother Abonya during the Chinese New Year, and then stayed there for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Then it will be like being together as a family.

The more Grace thought about it, the better it seemed.

"You look very happy?" Aponia asked, interrupting Grayshu's daydreaming state.

"Well, I remembered something happy."

Gray stood up, patted her skirt, and waved her little hand.

"Mother Aponya, I'm leaving now!"

……

After leaving, Grayxiu planned to go see Dibao first.

Calculating the time, the competition will be tomorrow.

The second round of the Triple Crown, which has been a month apart, is about to begin.

It is now August in the Honkai World, but it is only May in Ma Musume. Grayshu went back after watching Dibao's game last time, and did not stay long.

When I visited again this time, I immediately felt a different atmosphere.

She also remembered that Dibao preferred apples to carrots, so she bought two bottles of apple juice on the roadside.

At this moment, a slightly frivolous middle-aged male voice came from behind.

"Hey, this isn't--Neh, Neh...Grethu, right?"

"Uncle still remembers me."

"Haha, actually I don't have a very good memory, so it's possible that I forgot. But the Emperor always mentions you, although with a somewhat complaining tone."

The person who spoke was Teibao's trainer, Ryu Nishizaki, who seemed to be just passing by.

"The Emperor said that she had looked for you several times in the past month, but you were not there."

Dibao's complaint was just about coming at the wrong time, and it did not involve Grayshu.

"Well... I can only say it's not a coincidence."

Gray Xiu nodded, and she remembered the notes left by Dibao.

In fact, she didn't spend much time away from the studio every day. The Emperor of the East China Sea came at least eight or nine times a month, but she always managed to avoid him.

This luck is really not good.

"Well, she couldn't find you, so you came to find her?"

Nishizaki Ryu looked at the two glasses of apple juice in Graysh's hands and immediately understood the girl's intention.

"Tomorrow is her second championship. She should still be training in the training ground... Of course, she could also be studying theory in the dormitory."

"If there is something important, shouldn't we relax the day before?" Grayshu asked doubtfully.

"Ah? Who told you that?" Nishizaki Ryu was really stunned.

"That's what everyone says... on TV or by the people around us," Grace responded.

"We definitely can't relax. We must devote ourselves to the next game. We have worked so hard for so long, how can we relax at the last minute?"

As a coach, Ryu Nishizaki does not agree with this.

"As for the idea of ​​relaxation in moderation, in fact, a good night's sleep can achieve the desired effect. On the contrary, if you let your mind wander to other things the day before, you will easily have random thoughts when you fall asleep."

"...makes sense."

Grace thought about it.

The two worlds are indeed different.

In a collapsed world, people relax before going to the battlefield because they don’t know if they can come back alive tomorrow.

"anyway……"

Grayshu pointed to the screen in the middle of the street that was showing the Uma Musume competition.

"The audience are holding lottery tickets, right? If the horse girl loses, will these people vent their anger on the horse girl?"

There is also horse racing in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd.

It was actually similar to betting on football. Grace had no idea about this kind of thing, but she had read a lot of news, and she instinctively resisted the color of gamblers.

The colors of ordinary people are light, dark, cold, and warm.

The difference is which part is more.

But gamblers are completely extreme.

She was a little worried that if Dibao lost, he would go from being treated like a big star to being hated by everyone.

"The emperor said you came from a very remote place... I didn't believe it at first, but now I do."

Nishizaki Ryu looked at Grayshu in surprise.

This kind of question can only be asked by someone who doesn't know much about horse racing.

But this is Uma Musume’s world, and we don’t understand that.

It's as strange as not knowing how to play cards in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh.

"You said that the Emperor is now a big star, which actually gave the answer... People buy tickets for the Emperor, which is similar to fans buying tickets to see their idol's concert. For all horse girls, the competition is a stage for performance. Buying tickets is mainly to support your favorite horse girl."2

"Hmm...I think I understand."

Gray nodded.

"Also, where is the Emperor Sister's dormitory? Can you show me the way?"

"That's easy. Turn on the GPS on your phone and I'll help you locate it."

Nishizaki Ryu took the phone that Grayshu handed over.

Then fell silent

“…Are you really from a remote area?”

Grace's cell phone was at least several decades ahead of his time.

It’s almost equivalent to the PHS used in Mamusu Sekai.

As a result, Gray took out a folding screen.

Grayshu didn't know how to explain it, so she just talked nonsense in a serious manner.

"I actually come from an African country, located in the east of Africa. For centuries, it has been isolated from the outside world. On the surface, it is a poor and backward agricultural country, but in fact it is the most technologically advanced country on earth, with unique and rare resources."3

"Your country is called Wakanda, right? Its rare resource is Vibranium, right? And its ruler is called Black Panther, right?"

Nishizaki Ryu was amused by Gray Xiu.

Of course he has also seen such famous Marvel movies.

However, no matter how high-tech a mobile phone is, its basic functions are still common. Nishizaki Ryu quickly marked Gray's location.

This is also thanks to the fact that the technology in the Honkai world is much more advanced.

Only then can you connect to the satellite signal here at Ma Niang.

"Thank you, uncle. I'll go check out the emperor's quarters first~!"

Grayshu handed a glass of apple juice to Nishizaki Ryu to express her gratitude, and the remaining glass was enough for Dibao.

After all, her original plan was to go to Tressen College first and ask for directions.

Thanks to the coach, things are much easier now.

"Go ahead, go ahead. The emperor will be very happy to see you. After all, he has been looking for you so many times but has not seen you."

……

Grayshu followed the navigation all the way to Dibao's dormitory.

It looks like an ordinary Japanese two-story house.

Although it has two floors, the area is actually not that large.

This area is full of houses like this, all inhabited by horse girls, and there are guards at the door to prevent fanatical fans from doing anything irrational.

"According to what the coach said, the horse girls are stars, so isn't this place a holy place in the hearts of those fans?"

PS: Four more chapters tomorrow!

Chapter 28: Dibao's Happy Roommate

When Grace reached the door, she was stopped by the guards.

She won't be let in just because she's a child.

But the guard's tone was enthusiastic.

"Did you take the wrong road? This is not the place you should be. If you get separated from your parents, do you want me to help call the police?"

"That's right. I'm here to see my friends."

Grace shook her head.

She took out the door card that the Emperor of the East China Sea left behind when he missed her last time.

After confirming her identity, she came to the house where Dibao lived.

"Looking at the house number, it should be here."

Grace rang the doorbell.

There was no reaction.

So I knocked on the door.

A squeaking sound.

The door was knocked open directly.

To be more precise, the door was not locked at all.

"This……"

For a moment, Grace didn't know whether she should go in.

After all, in her opinion, entering someone else's home without permission is a bad behavior.

More likely to be misunderstood by others.

All the people living here are horse girls. If she breaks into someone else's house like this and is discovered and calls the police, that would be bad.

Suddenly I didn't know whether to go in or leave.

I called the emperor's name several times, but got no response.

"Isn't he not at home..."

Grayxiu was stunned for a moment. She remembered that Dibao came to see her so many times, but she was not there.

This time it's my turn to experience it.

"That's true."

She felt as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Fortunately, someone quickly came to her rescue.

"Hello?"
