Umamusume's days are numbered

That's right... this guy, Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate... actually took two pieces in one go!

Including the chocolate that Platinum gave to Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate this morning, Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate now has a total of three pieces of Platinum's chocolate.

"Hehe..." Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate, with Platinum on her left arm and three boxes of chocolates between her right fingers, covering her face with the chocolates and smiling, "Now... I have even more chocolates, huh?"

The carp leaping over the dragon gate had an undisguised, defiant look in its eyes.

These ugly pests... the loaches in the sewage... the exhaust fumes from factory production...

Ibuki Maikaku's eyes started to hurt from anger. Unconsciously, the strength in her hands increased.

"Hey hey... Ibuki Maikaku... Hey hey..." Platinum suddenly felt a dull pain in her left arm, and she called out softly with a trembling smile on her face.

To take it yourself when others won't give it to you... how shameless and despicable... Ibuki Mai Kagura's eyes were already fixed on the carp leaping over the dragon gate, and she continued to exert force with her hands.

"Hey, Kagura, Kagura, I was wrong..." Although she didn't know what she had done wrong, she couldn't help but beg for mercy as she felt the strength in her left arm gradually increasing.

But! If you can take the dragon gate leap by yourself, you can take it by me too!

Isn't war just a process of constantly breaking the bottom line? If a carp can leap over the dragon gate, why can't I? Ibuki Kagura's eyes were already burning with fierce battle intent.

With lightning speed, Ibuki Kagura reached directly into the drawer. Although she had expected the leap, Ibuki Kagura's slender body became an advantage, and she successfully took out several pieces of chocolate from the drawer.

“This time I’ve gotten more chocolate, big sister.” Ibuki Kagura retorted without hesitation with a sarcastic nickname.

Although Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate was still smiling, the veins on its forehead were practically bulging. Platinum wondered if it was just her imagination, but she even felt Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate's long hair was about to fly up. Today, she finally witnessed what true fury looked like.

But what Platinum was paying attention to wasn't that... but rather that the hand that was leaping over the dragon gate was also starting to exert force.

Compared to Ibuki Mai and Kagura, Koi Leaping Over the Dragon Gate is a perfect development, as elastic and solid as rubber. But no matter how elastic you are... no one can withstand such force.

"Ah Li... Ah Li... Don't do this..." Bai Jin was sweating profusely.

She felt pressure coming from both sides, as if she were being torn apart.

Episode 162 The Mejiro Clan, making a grand appearance!

"...That's how it is." Platinum lay sprawled on the bench with her arms crossed, trembling as she recalled the scene, as if she had a nightmare she didn't want to remember.

"Those people are absolutely insane... White? Valentine's Day is such a dangerous holiday..." Platinum muttered to himself.

Ah this.

Oh, this.

The Emperor of the East Sea could only say, "Wow, that's something!"

"Don't misunderstand, we don't usually celebrate Valentine's Day like this..." The Emperor of the East Sea chuckled, trying to explain.

This was originally a romantic and beautiful holiday, especially for the students of Treson College.

The Emperor of the East Sea did not want Platinum to have any strange misunderstandings about this festival.

Platinum's experience this time was just an exception; next time, just remember not to buy so much chocolate...

The Emperor of the East Sea paused simultaneously on both his thoughts and words of comfort.

White Valentine's Day... is it really not such a dangerous and chaotic holiday?

The Emperor of the East Sea recalled how his dearest president spent White Valentine's Day every year.

Last year, the school locked itself in the student council room as soon as it opened in the morning, not letting anyone in. Donghai Ziran and Mejiro Gaofeng went to knock on the door one after the other, shouting something like, "President, open the door quickly! It's your favorite Ziran!" and "President, open the door! Gaofeng is wearing your favorite clothes today!" Their voices were mournful and lingering, only fading away after a long time.

As soon as school was over, Rudolf immediately hitched a ride with Maruzensky and sped out of the school. The fact that the chairman was willing to take a ride with Maruzensky shows just how much determination Rudolf had put in.

Then, on the way home, Rudolf had a bad feeling again, so he quickly told Maru Zenki to turn around and stay at the apartment for the night. This way, he avoided Mejiro Mineki and Tokai Nature, who were waiting for him at Rudolf's house, and spent the night peacefully.

As for the year before last, one can only say that the reason Rudolf returned to school last year was because he had the painful experience of trying to stay at home and having his door broken down by two hungry women.

This year... having learned from last year's bitter experience, Rudolf did manage to include these two in the list. However, once inside, they fell silent, leaving only a deep sense of unease.

So, White Valentine's Day seems to have always been like this?

The Emperor of the East Sea choked up, his words of comfort stuck in his throat.

Faced with this situation... the Emperor of the East Sea simply couldn't lie, and he lied to Platinum, saying that White Valentine's Day was a happy and joyful holiday.

At least the chairman has a very difficult time every year.

"Ah...ah!" The Emperor of the East Sea tilted his head, awkwardly and stiffly changing the subject, "Speaking of which, I wonder where McQueen went. Given that guy's love for desserts..."

---clang!

The crisp sound of metal striking the marble floor echoed through the woods.

"Desserts? Where can I get desserts?"

Holding a naginata that was taller than himself, Megumi McQueen even wore his own final outfit, with the violet flower-like hem covered by a black and gold trench coat, and his tall boots clattering on the ground.

McQueen wiped his mouth, and even had a miniature earphone on his head.

"McQueen, what are you saying?" a soft voice came through the earphones.

“I said, there’s nothing unusual in the forest park!” Megumi McQueen answered loudly.

For a year's worth of desserts... Megumi McQueen's eyes gleamed.

"Very good, good boy." Megumi Ardan sat in the spectator seats of the training field, looking at the figures on the field through binoculars. "There are no problems on the training field."

"...No problem in front of the cafeteria..." Meguro Dober stood at the entrance of the cafeteria and looked inside. He could see Oguri Hat and Special Zhou eating together, their bellies slightly bulging.

Meguro Dober, his cheeks flushed, closed his eyes: "Really... why did I even do something like this..."

“There’s nothing wrong with the gymnasium.” Meguro Ryan stood by the swimming pool, looking out the window sideways.

"There's nothing wrong with the area in front of the Li Dong dormitory." Meguro Zenshin said in a low voice, squatting by the pool in front of the Li Dong dormitory.

"Hmm... there's nothing wrong with the Three Goddess Statues either." Megumi shook his head and gave an elegant yawn.

The entire Mejiro family is mobilized!

Ardan, his hands clasped in front of him, gazed intently at everything in the training field.

"I'll stake the honor of the Mejiro family... and the happiness of my sister, Mejiro Takamine."

"We absolutely cannot let Chairman Rudolf escape today."

“This is a war!”

All the sisters of the Meguro family laid a trap for Rudolf.

This year's situation is far more perilous than in previous years.

The Emperor of the East Sea immediately broke out in a sweat.

"McQueen... what is he doing?"

"Of course... um, cough!" Megumi McQueen was about to answer subconsciously when he suddenly stood up in the middle of the road and coughed twice.

"Your Majesty, please do not disturb me! I am currently engaged in a war!"

"I'll stake the Mejiro family's honor and sweets on this day, and no one will be able to walk past me!"

So desserts and the glory of the Mejiro family are equally important... The Emperor of the East Sea couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Just then, a hand reached out from McQueen's shoulder and gently patted her shoulder.

"Whoa?!" Megumi McQueen was so startled he almost jumped up and quickly turned around to look.

The tall, slender carp leaping over the dragon gate floated along the road like a ghost, its hair floating slightly behind it as if filtered through a horror movie, its face hidden among its long, black hair.

"Hello... Can you see... where is Platinum?"

The carp leaping over the dragon gate uttered softly.

"Ah, isn't this Ah Li? I didn't see him." Megumi McQueen and Platinum have been training together for half a year, and he has seen Ah Li leap over the dragon gate quite a few times, so they naturally recognize each other.

"I see..." Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate nodded silently and floated past Megumi McQueen.

So, it's like saying no one can walk past you, only behind you?

After taking a few steps, the carp leaping over the dragon gate suddenly stopped in front of the East Sea Emperor, who was half-squatting.

Immediately afterwards, the carp leaping over the dragon gate suddenly approached the Emperor of the East Sea, its entire face appearing directly in front of her, startling her.

The carp leaping over the dragon gate exhaled a cold breath: "And what about you?"

Have you seen... Platinum?

"A ghost!" The Emperor of the East Sea almost shouted out loud.

At the same time, the Emperor of the East Sea felt the body of Bai Jin, hidden under the bench, trembling slightly.

What kind of psychological trauma did this leave behind!

Episode 163 Fleeing in Disarray

Have you seen... Platinum?

Seeing the carp leaping over the dragon gate, clearly in a malfunctioning state, the Emperor of the East Sea broke out in a cold sweat. Meanwhile, Platinum, huddled under the bench, began to tremble.

"...I didn't see it." After hesitating for a moment, the Emperor of the East Sea decided to lie.

If the carp were to leap over the dragon gate and find the platinum, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Really didn't see it?" As if he hadn't heard the Emperor of the East Sea's reply, Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate floated through the forest like a ghost, asking again in a flat tone.

Whether it was his imagination or not, the Emperor of the East Sea even felt that the temperature in the forest had dropped.

Has... been discovered?

The Emperor of the East Sea shook his head reluctantly: "No, I didn't see it."

"Hehe...didn't see it..." Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate nodded lightly, turning his face away from the face of the East Sea Emperor, and slowly walked away into the distance.

Watching the carp leaping over the dragon gate disappear into the distance, the Emperor of the East Sea secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something in a low voice, he saw the carp suddenly turn around and stare intently at him!

The Emperor of the East Sea almost broke down in that instant; if his mental defenses had been any weaker, he would have turned tail and run away.

"What's wrong?" The Emperor of the East Sea felt his legs buckle and he could barely speak.

"..." Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate looked at the East Sea Emperor and Megumi McQueen with suspicion, and finally pointed to his phone, "If you see Platinum, please tell me."

"I need to talk to her about something."

After saying this, the carp leaped over the dragon gate and slowly walked away.

Seeing that the carp had indeed leaped over the dragon gate and left, the Emperor of the East Sea slumped to the ground, still shaken: "What on earth happened..."

Damn it, how did everyone become like this!

It's definitely because of White Day... It's all White Day's fault!

Such dangerous festivals, such festivals that corrupt people's hearts...it's truly terrifying!

"Sigh." Megumi McQueen watched the carp leaping over the dragon gate disappear into the distance and sighed, "This is the fate of the greedy."

"If you ask for too much chocolate on White Valentine's Day, you will be parasitized by chocolate and become a monster that only collects chocolate... What a sad fate."

"When did this kind of setting come about?!" Even though the Emperor of the East Sea was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, he couldn't help but complain, "What kind of world do you take this place for?"

"Hmph, this is what Sister Gao told me when I was a child." Megumi McQueen raised his head, speaking with a hint of pride and arrogance.

"It's obvious she was just trying to scare you into eating less dessert! Besides, if what she said is true, then your sister Gao Feng is completely captivated by chocolate!" The East Sea Emperor gritted his teeth and couldn't help but complain, "She's become a complete chocolate demon!"

It wasn't that the Emperor of the East Sea wanted to take on the role of the吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or ridicule) actor; it was simply that Megumi McQueen's words were too intimidating.

At this moment, Platinum crawled out from under the bench, trembling.

"Has the carp leaping over the dragon gate gone?" Platinum peeked around and looked around, making sure the carp had really disappeared before rolling out from under the bench, dusting himself off, and standing up.

"...That was really close."

"Wow, Platinum, you're here!" McQueen was startled to see Platinum peeking out. "Right, I need to tell Koi Leaping Over the Dragon Gate right away—"

"Are you stupid?!"

"—Don't tell!"

Platinum and the East Sea Emperor's voices rang out simultaneously. Platinum pounced on him and covered McQueen's mouth with hers, while the East Sea Emperor held her waist, preventing McQueen from taking out her phone from her pocket.
