Umamusume's days are numbered

Ten years after graduating from high school, the male and female protagonists meet again at a restaurant. As they talk, the male protagonist suddenly says something.

Actually... I used to like you.

The female lead looked at the male lead with a faint smile.

"I know. I liked you too."

"But it's too late to say all this now."

After speaking, the female protagonist raised her hand adorned with a wedding ring, turned and left, leaving only the male protagonist's desolate figure behind...

For some reason, the Emperor of the East Sea suddenly understood the psychology of the male protagonist in the TV series.

Seriously, why do the TV dramas you watch always seem so fitting for the occasion?! Can we please not watch any more melodramatic youth dramas tonight?!

In short, upon thinking about this, the emperor's mindset underwent another shift.

My feelings towards the president went from incomprehension and distress to anger, and finally to understanding.

My feelings towards Platinum have shifted from indignation to blessings.

In any case, I have no right to say anything.

Having thought this through, the Emperor of the East Sea felt relieved.

At this point, the only thing the East Sea Emperor wanted to do was to see what kind of person this Platinum, who would be walking hand in hand with the Chairman, really was.

Back to the present, Spica's training room was completely silent. Platinum stood with his arms crossed, looking at the East Sea Emperor, who wore a bright yet bitter smile.

I've met him... He's definitely a likable child.

Her hair was so white it was almost translucent, her waist was slender, and she had a pair of long legs that looked perfect for running... Not to mention Chairman Rudolf, even the Emperor of the East Sea himself was deeply moved.

No wonder rumors started flying around after they only stayed in the dorm for a few days.

Although she is somewhat timid, she also possesses an indomitable spirit. This is exactly the kind of person the president admires most.

It was practically a perfect shot that hit the president's target area. Was this really not something the president came up with on the spot?

Now, all that remained in the heart of the Emperor of the East Sea was a feeling of never giving up.

"Let's have a race."

The opponent is already a Uma Musume (horse girl) who has experienced her debut battle, which is even a challenge for her.

However, if you promise the chairman something, you have to keep it.

I want to become an undefeated triple crown horse girl, just like the president.

Waaaaah, President, even if I'm not by your side in the future, please keep an eye on me.

I will absolutely not break my promise.

"I just want to know... exactly where the difference lies between you and me."

Episode 28 Please!

"I just want to know... exactly where the difference lies between you and me."

Huh? What's going on? What exactly happened?

McQueen looked at the East Sea Emperor and then at Platinum, unable to discern what the two had been through for a long time.

Wait, why are you making that face, Your Majesty? I've only ever seen that expression on Grasshopper's face before.

Platinum, what's going on with you? How come you signed a contract with the president right away?

Megumi McQueen felt as if he had skipped an entire season of the anime and jumped straight to the ending, only to find that his teammates had all mastered the combination technique while he was still a nobody.

No, no, now is not the time to think about these things. The important thing is...

All eyes turned to Platinum.

The Eastern Sea Emperor's account, while describing it as a race, could also be interpreted as a battle between two people.

How will Platinum respond?

McQueen nervously swallowed.

"No, that's too much trouble." Platinum rolled her eyes and waved her hand.

———They actually refused!

This sentiment resonates in everyone's heart.

"To be honest, it's all completely inexplicable. Why would I run away with you?" Platinum squinted.

Although she wasn't very bright, she could still sense that something was off.

Looking at the smiling face of the East Sea Emperor, who seems to be possessed by a flying spirit, it's hard to imagine what she's been through.

In short, they didn't have good intentions.

Since that's the case, I don't need to be polite with you anymore.

I never intended to get along with anyone. In fact, I thought it would be best if people didn't even know me from the beginning.

Since things have turned out this way, don't blame yourself for using hurtful words again, okay?

Although I didn't want to do it, it was the most convenient way to distance myself from the relationship.

So, women are really a hindrance.jpg

"Emperor of the East Sea... are you perhaps jealous of me?"

"You're jealous. I'm Rudolf's symbolic horse girl, and you're not, are you?"

Super straight ball —

Not to mention others, even the Emperor of the East Sea staggered, as if he had been punched by an invisible fist.

"So they want to have a race with me, want to prove that they can beat me, want to prove that they are better than me, and that they are more worthy of the Rudolf symbol."

Again!

"Do you perhaps think this will make Rudolph change his mind?" Platinum said, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Let me tell you a secret..."

"Rudolph Symbol came to me immediately after seeing my debut match and took the initiative to invite me to sign a contract with her."

bump!

Another uppercut! The Emperor of the East Sea almost lost his balance, leaning on the corner of the table and panting heavily.

See? That's the art of speaking.

Regardless of whether it's to make others like or dislike you, just say it didn't work. Say that Rudolf symbolized inviting himself first.

Are you telling the truth?

"Hey, I'm telling you..." Megumi McQueen grabbed the East Blue Emperor's shoulder, glaring at Platinum, "You don't have to be so rude, do you?"

"Since we'll all be living in the same college from now on, there's no need to be so cold-hearted, is there? Any misunderstandings can be resolved simply by clearing them up, right?"

See? The results are remarkable. This is exactly the effect Platinum wanted.

“No, it’s alright, McQueen…” The East Sea Emperor waved his hand at Megumi McQueen with his ears drooping, “She’s telling the truth.”

It's really unacceptable that my little schemes were seen through at a glance.

The reason why Platinum suddenly became so aggressive is probably because she realized that she had a delusion that she wanted to push her away from the president and that such a delusion still lingered in her mind.

There's no need to treat such people with kindness.

Everyone has the right to pursue freedom and happiness.

Even so... I myself...

"Please!" The Emperor of the East Sea bowed to Platinum. "No matter what, I hope to run a race!"

That's right!

Everyone has the right to pursue freedom and happiness!

Since Platinum has it, I can have it too!

The Empress of the East Sea is not a girl who gives up so easily.

We will not give up until we achieve our goal.

I was already prepared for this. On the road to becoming an undefeated triple crown racehorse girl, I will definitely shatter the dreams of many people, and even my own dream may be crushed by others.

But if he were to back down like this, he would not be the Emperor of the East Sea.

I'm sorry, and I really want a sticky piece of chewy candy—

However, the Emperor of the East Sea will not back down.

“I told you…” Platinum clicked his tongue, revealing his fangs.

Bai Jin's voice abruptly stopped halfway through her sentence. She saw the East Sea Emperor raise his eyes. In those azure eyes was an unwavering conviction, a conviction that would not give up until the goal was achieved.

No... it's just a game, is it really that big of a deal?

Platinum seemed a bit confused, appearing somewhat bewildered. Or is this how all racehorses are—deciding everything through a race, even deciding who turns off the lights at night by running a lap?

Isn't that outrageous?

Race anytime, anywhere? No wonder there's a racetrack between the sidewalk and the road, so it's convenient for duels anytime, right?

"—" Seeing the East Sea Emperor's expression, Megumi McQueen was taken aback, but then calmed down.

McQueen released his grip on the East Sea Emperor's hand and stepped back.

Your Majesty, I have received your determination.

Although I don't know what happened...

"Please, please have a match with the Emperor!" Megumi McQueen clasped his hands together.

"Hmm...it's really...touching..." Vodka sniffed, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Please, senior, I owe you a favor!"

"I should be saying that," Yamato Akaki was even sniffing. What exactly moved you guys?

"Please, senior!"

"Good morning, everyone. Sorry I overslept—what's going on?" The late Zhou opened the training room door and was greeted by this chaotic scene.

She hesitated for a moment, then closed the door, then opened it again, then closed it again, then opened it again.

"Little Te, come on over here!" The Golden Ship appeared beside Special Zhou and pushed her by the shoulder to get her inside.

"Hey hey hey hey—"

Seeing this scene, Platinum felt his face twitching.

Demons are dancing wildly, demons are dancing wildly!

To be honest, when Platinum saw this scene, she chickened out.

Is this some kind of strange custom?

Having everyone say "please" to you is just as terrifying as having everyone clapping and saying "Oh my god" to you.

No, you guys?

Platinum's expression was starting to falter, and her ears were twitching rapidly.

"please!"

"Stop shouting, stop shouting..." Platinum responded weakly, "I'll just run away."
