Umamusume's days are numbered

Jiang He Risheng tilted his head, looking at his youthful memories.

"That means if you disturb someone's dating, you'll get kicked to death by the three goddesses."

Jiang He Risheng suddenly realized. "So that's the relationship! Why didn't you say so earlier? No wonder."

"Everyone!"

Jinqiang Liushi suddenly stood up, raised his cup, and maintained his unrestrained demeanor.

"First of all, congratulations to our champion today, Platinum."

"To be honest, I was also taken aback. For a newcomer to break through the ranks so unexpectedly, not to mention to come from last place to first, is amazing!"

"My biggest mistake was not treating you as an evenly matched opponent at the beginning."

Although Golden Gun Sixty ultimately lost slightly due to other factors, and one match proves nothing, it would be beneath us to dwell on that now.

If you lose, you lose.

"Also..." Golden Gun Sixty scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.

"After finishing this race, I feel..."

"I am still young and have inexhaustible energy."

"It's embarrassing to be defeated by a newcomer like Platinum, but if I retire in disgrace without winning back, won't I be ridiculed for the rest of my life?"

Platinum rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

See, you still care, don't you? Aren't you super concerned about winning and losing?

"So... I'm not retiring! It seems I'll have to stay in Hong Kong for a few more years and wait for a newcomer to take my place."

Hai Dushi rested his chin on his hand, smiling as he looked at Golden Gun Sixty.

She had long realized that Jinqiang Liushi didn't want to retire so soon. Unlike them, Jinqiang Liushi's body was still in its prime. Perhaps it wouldn't advance any further, but maintaining that peak condition was achievable through hard work.

Everyone goes through a slump. Seeing Golden Gun Sixty overcome this slump makes this special match meaningful.

“It seems like it will be a long time before you come to England,” Hai Dudu chimed in. “Little Star has been waiting for me for a long time too. I’m going to be preparing to go back in the next few days.”

"You really spoil your younger siblings."

"Oh dear..." Hai Du covered his cheek, his face slightly flushed. "This is a happy trouble."

"You've already seen the starfish photos, would you like to see other pictures? I also have Galileo's, Little Purple's, and Little Pirate's..."

Hai Dudu recited the names of his younger siblings as if they were his own, making one marvel at what a huge family it truly was.

On another note, could all the remaining photos also be baby photos?

"I'm getting ready to leave too," the con artist said, speaking sparingly and deliberately. Because she always spoke like that, every word she uttered sounded like a threat.

"The people I'm traveling with have been waiting for me for a long time. I'm going to Nepal to climb Mount Everest from there."

Everyone chatted away, one sentence after another, while the moon outside the window cast a soft, silvery glow.

Whether you retire or not, it's just a small part of life's journey.

For the horse girls, life is still very long, and they have a long time to explore the meaning of their lives.

The peaceful moonlight is perfect for setting off on a new journey.

Episode 125 Star of the Sea

爱尔兰

The weather is starting to cool, but the warm ocean monsoon still blows across the land, making the country's climate humid and gentle.

A girl with chestnut hair stood on the grass, looking up at the boundless sky, where scale-like clouds were stacked in the air like building blocks.

The girl's face was expressionless, looking utterly bored. Only her eyes sparkled like diamonds, dazzling and captivating.

Anyone who has ever interacted with the girl can sense an aloofness emanating from her, as if she were a world apart from everyone else. Neither her rivals, the racehorses at the same racecourse, nor even her support staff could elicit the slightest fluctuation in her expression; she was like a porcelain doll that never smiled.

Well... that guy is strong, but he doesn't inspire any courage in anyone to talk to him.

[Like a cold, hard block of ice, isn't that scary? That guy has the same expression even when he's running.]

I absolutely adore her! Don't you think her cool, aloof way of rejecting everyone is incredibly cool? Besides, she has the ability to handle things that way too.

Haidu Star. A rising star.

Regardless of her triumphant victory at the Arc de Triomphe in Haidu City, the other sisters of Haidu Star also performed admirably on the track, with Astronomer being a top-tier racehorse girl who stood out from the crowd. Therefore, even before her debut, Haidu Star had already attracted considerable attention. Everyone was eager to see if she could take the baton from her sisters and forge a new era of glory.

Haidu Star's performance has lived up to people's expectations. Always with a cool expression on the track, she calmly leaves all her opponents behind—this is Haidu Star's strength, and so far, no one has been able to make her use her full power.

This aloof demeanor seems to have become her trademark. But is that really the case?

"Little star, what are you looking at?"

Unbeknownst to her, a figure approached from behind Haidu Star. Haidu City stepped onto the familiar grass, looked at Haidu City who was growing taller every day, and gently reached out her hand to pat her head.

Haidu Star didn't turn around; it just twitched its ears.

After a while, Haidu Star slowly raised his arm and pointed to the clouds in the sky: "I'm looking at the clouds."

"This cloud has moved much, much further west than it did an hour ago. There's a wind blowing from the east."

Hai Dushi maintained the gesture of stroking Hai Du Star, but the smile on his face was a bit stiff.

Girl, you stood here for hours looking at the clouds just to determine the wind direction?

Hai Du didn't blame the others at the horse farm. Hai Du Zhi Xing always had a cold and aloof demeanor, and would occasionally furrow his brow. Coupled with his dazzling eyes, he looked as if he were pondering the ultimate meaning of life.

[This must be it! The ascetic practices from an Indian high monk—truly worthy of being called the Star of the Sea!]

No one dared to bother her.

If Hai Dudu hadn't watched her grow up, he might have been fooled by his younger sister's appearance.

But in reality, Haidu Star's cold demeanor wasn't due to her aloof personality, but simply because she was a bit dull.

It's said that he always maintains the same expression because constantly changing expressions is too tiring, so he just keeps using the same expression that works for everyone and in all situations.

Sure enough, upon returning to the horse farm, he found his younger sister doing something foolish with a straight face once again.

This is why Haidu City has always kept Haidu Star by its side. It's not because she has great potential, but because she's the most clueless among these younger brothers and sisters.

What will you do without your sister?.jpg

"Sister, did you have fun in Hong Kong?" Hai Du Zhi Xing asked softly, her eyes still fixed on the sky.

"Of course, I saw many old friends. Jinqiang Liushi and Cuihe are still the same as before... Of course, I also saw the strength of the new generation."

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Hai Dudu pulled Hai Du Zhixing to sit down on the ground. Even without Hai Du Zhixing saying anything, Hai Dudu could see clearly. She had been standing on the grass for hours, and her legs were already aching.

“There might be a racehorse girl among them that can rival Starfish,” Hai Du added, recalling the intense competition in the final stages of the race.

"Hmm," Sea Star replied softly, seemingly unconcerned about the racehorse girl Sea City had mentioned who was comparable to herself.

Looking at Hai Du Zhi Xing like this, Hai Du Du's face froze once again. No matter how many times he tried, Hai Du Du couldn't pique Hai Du Zhi Xing's interest. She would only run when Hai Du Du made a request, she would only do training when Hai Du Du made a request, and even when making friends, Hai Du Du had to drag her to other people's places before she could be considered an acquaintance.

Looking at her younger sister, Hai Du couldn't help but sigh. What would become of her? An older sister couldn't stay with her younger sister forever; there would always be a day when she had to entrust her precious child to someone else.

The problem is that with Haidu Star in this state, Haidu City wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting it to anyone!

No, I still need to find a way to find a match for the starfish...

At that moment, a thought flashed through Hai Dushi's mind.

She glanced at the Star of the Sea, which was still staring blankly at the sky, then took out her phone to check it. She looked at the Star of the Sea, then at her phone; she looked at the Star of the Sea, then at her phone.

The more I look at it, the more suitable it seems! Isn't this the perfect candidate?

Then, Hai Dudu's face lit up with a smile again, and he moved closer to Hai Du Zhixing.

"Little Star, don't you want to see who I'm talking about?" Hai Du City shoved the phone into Hai Du Zhi Xing's hand. Hai Du Zhi Xing didn't say anything, just looked at her sister. After receiving her sister's nod of approval, Hai Du Zhi Xing looked at the phone.

The phone showed a photo of the two embracing. The one holding the phone, a faint smile on her face, with her fluorescent blue hair flowing, was Hai Dushi; while the one in Hai Dushi's arms was shrinking back, awkwardly making two peace signs with her hands, a bewildered smile on her lips, as if someone was holding a gun to her back for a photo.

"This child's name is Platinum. He's not much younger than you. Although he debuted in Japan, his skills are top-notch."

"She even outran her sister and Golden Spear Sixty."

Upon hearing Hai Du's words, a flicker of emotion finally appeared in Hai Du Zhi Xing's eyes. Although his facial expression remained unchanged, his eyes did indeed flash.

"She's... amazing..."

Hai Dudu's eyes lit up immediately. There was a reaction! A reaction was a good thing; a reaction meant there was hope!

She quickly seized the opportunity to write down Platinum's contact information for Haidu Star: "Little Star, remember to add him when you get back, and chat with him enthusiastically."

"I believe you two can become very good friends."

Forget about being separated by distance; that's all meaningless. What matters more than anything is that two people can resonate with each other on a soul level and develop love.

Episode 126 The Astronomer

Barcelona, ​​Spain

The moist sea breeze caressed the Mediterranean coast, and the sound of waves crashing on the beach carried far and wide along the city's grid-like architecture, as if trying to reach everyone's ears.

Surrounded by lush forest, a convertible slowly cruised along the road, like a lazy seal flapping its tail.

Strange Light sat in the driver's seat, one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting on the door, basking in the warmth of the rising sun. Golden sunlight streamed into her wavy golden hair, and the gentle warmth made Strange Light yawn with a mixture of satisfaction and weariness.

The passenger seat of the convertible reclined, and the quiet beauty nestled in the seat, her chest rising and falling slightly, immersed in a sweet dream.

The beautiful woman in the passenger seat had shoulder-length, jet-black hair, as black as ink, hastily tied back with a hairband. A section of her bangs, at the very center of her forehead, was dyed pure white. The contrast between her black hair and white bangs was striking. She wore a black hoodie, and a ribbon hung around her neck, winding down to her chest and attaching a heavy camera.

The strange light glanced at the sleeping beauty, withdrew its arm from the car door, and nudged the passenger's shoulder.

"Hey, hey. Bean sprouts, Galileo, wake up."

The beautiful woman in the passenger seat showed no signs of waking up. She sweetly licked her lips, turned over, and the camera on her chest slid onto the seat.

Left with no other option, the strange light raised its voice: "Astronomer!"

"Waaah! Big sister, I was wrong, I didn't slack off..." The beautiful woman with white bangs suddenly sat up, begging for mercy before even opening her eyes.

She stretched out her hand to cover her face, and then she was stunned to feel the sunlight shining on her. She stretched out her palm to shield her forehead and opened her eyes a crack.

Those were a pair of bright green eyes, as clear as those of a Persian cat, seemingly possessing a magic that could attract the whole world.

Galileo, his other hand stroking his disheveled hair, sat cross-legged in his seat, his emerald eyes gazing at the shimmering sea in the distance. The Mediterranean was like a quiet and loving mother, gently embracing everything. The sun, just peeking out from the ocean, wasn't dazzling; instead, it had a warm, orange-red hue, like an orange cat hanging on the horizon.

She picked up the camera hanging around her neck, lifted the lens cap, and captured the scene before her—

chapped.

After taking the photos, Galileo lazily lay back in his chair, put his right hand behind his head, yawned, and took out his phone.

"I think I have a stiff neck... Why didn't you wake me up when you saw me asleep?"

"Who told you to stay up all night saying you wanted to take pictures of the stars? We're going to Casa Milà today, how could you possibly have time to rest?" Strange Light said as he slowly drove. "Anyway, I slept last night, so it didn't interfere with your sunrise viewing. Isn't this a perfect arrangement?"

"Okay, okay, you're right." Galileo scrolled through his phone.

As she was swiping, Galileo's fingers suddenly stopped. Her languid expression froze, and she even reached out to rub her eyes.

Galileo's eyes, which had been half-closed with sleep, snapped open. He clutched his stomach and burst into laughter, slapping the chair as he laughed until he was almost curled up in a ball, tears streaming down his face.

"What are you doing? You just woke up and you're crawling around like a monkey." Strange Light frowned as he looked at Galileo, who was crawling all over the floor in the passenger seat.

“Hey, big foreign woman.” Galileo stretched out a barefoot and sock-less foot from his seat and gently kicked the strangely glowing waist. “Look at this.”

"I'm driving." Strange Light glanced helplessly to the side, and paused for a moment when he saw the content on Galileo's phone.

Immediately afterwards, a gloating smile appeared on the corner of the strange light's mouth. It was clear that if she hadn't been driving, she would have laughed heartily like Galileo.

【Sea Starfish is the Best】: What are you doing?

[Astronomer]: Just woke up. Sis, what's wrong?

【Starfish is the best in the world】: [Image]

【Starfish is the best】: What do you think of her and Starfish? Do they look like a married couple?

This picture is naturally the one of Hai Dushi embracing Bai Jin.
