Uma Musume, Master of Love

Great Shock was clearly stumped by the question, muttering to himself before replying thoughtfully, "Probably... because of the Three Goddesses? But why think so much? We just need to keep running forward." He was clearly using the Three Goddesses as a shield because he couldn't figure it out himself!

When I left home, my phone battery was only around 40%. As usual, I went to the classroom, sat down in my familiar spot, and started scrolling through my phone with my face turned to the side.

There's a G1 race, Takamatsu-nomiya Commemorative, at the end of March. As a horse girl who's about to debut as a sprint race horse girl, Huiyi will naturally pay attention to this race. Maybe she'll even participate in it herself in the future?

After all, a single move could yield a prize of over 170 million, which, while not comparable to the UK-China tournament, was still a considerable sum in Huiyi's eyes.

The most popular event for the Takamatsu-no-miya memorial is currently...

"Dowanda?" The photo shows a racehorse girl with short blonde hair and pure white bangs. Her winning outfit is very similar to the style of Western European nobility, but the most eye-catching thing is the sword she always carries. According to the interview, Dowanda calls it the Holy Sword.

The second most popular spot is Sun Valley.

However, judging from past performance, Huiyi also felt that Dowanda, who had already won two G1 matches, was stronger than Sun Valley, who had a best record of 6 wins in 20 matches and a G2 win in Saddle.

However, there are no absolutes when it comes to Uma Musume Pretty Derby; the stories of Daiyusaku and Pama are still fresh in our minds.

"Oh my! Huiyi is also following the Takamatsu-no-Miya Memorial this year!" When Rhine Power entered the classroom, she caught a glimpse of the announcement board of the Chukyo Racecourse on Huiyi's phone. She was so excited because Huiyi was also following it.

"Yeah, who knows, I might end up making a living in sprint races in the future." Huiyi sat up straight and yawned. Skipping breakfast really does make you out of sorts.

It was rare for Huiyi not to feel sleepy in class, so he reluctantly listened to the four classes in the morning. As soon as the bell rang, before the teacher could even say that get out of class was over, Huiyi simply climbed out of the window near the corridor and left.

The teacher pushed up his glasses on the podium, the lenses reflecting a dim light: "Alright, get out of class dismissed." It was clear that this racehorse girl named Huiyi Baiju possessed some extraordinary athletic talent, but it didn't seem to be of much use to the racehorse girl profession.

One reason why Huiyi is running so fast is that she has already set her debut in June, but the main reason is that Beiyuan asked Xiaohaiwan to give her special treatment in order to help her gain some weight. What a wonderful thing!

"I'm done with get out of class! Kitahara-san! What's the training schedule for this afternoon?" Huiyi rushed into the training room, threw his backpack aside, washed his hands, sat down at the dining table, removed the thermos lid, and started eating.

Seniors like Little Chestnut Hat and Little Bay no longer need to attend classes, so they have more free time than freshmen like Huiyi. By now, they should have already eaten and gone to the training ground, right?

"Eat slowly. We're going to the swimming pool this afternoon. I'm confident in your speed, but my biggest worry is that you'll lose speed before you even reach 1,000 meters." Kitahara took a package from under the table and placed it on the other side.

"Glug. So what's inside... a swimsuit?"

"What else could it be? Don't tell me you're a landlubber like Oguri?"

"Uh...no, it's not that..." After all, she had learned to swim in her previous life, but wearing a school swimsuit like this...it seems...

Is this the first time in two lifetimes?

And what's more, Huiyi remembers having rheumatism?

Give me some, give me some

Chapter 22 What's so interesting about a tablet?

Inside the changing room of the Treson College swimming pool, Huiyi sat on a bench, grimacing. His knees ached terribly. Even before getting into the water, the abundant moisture in the swimming pool had triggered a flare-up of his rheumatism, making Huiyi want to smash the iron door of the locker with his head.

Although the symptoms had never been severe, the effects were still quite noticeable in the cold environment of the swimming pool…

"I can only pray that the water temperature won't be too low. Hiss." He rubbed his hands in front of his chest. It seemed that a flat-chested person would be more suitable to wear this kind of school swimsuit, but the inner soul of the two willows I strange wings eight si (four) ba ci ape was still somewhat resistant to wearing this kind of thing on his body!

Huiyi was conflicted, but when she thought about how even high school girls from the last century would wear such things to swim in the pool at Central Treisen, she felt guilty because she felt that she wasn't even as old as her in both her lifetimes combined.

In the end, the reeds gave in.

After taking off her uniform and putting it in the closet, Huiyi, who had changed into her swimsuit, limped a little to the edge of the pool despite the pain in her knees. At this time, Beiyuan and Zhanxin Guanghui had not yet come out of the changing room, so Huiyi stretched out her toes and gently touched the water.

"Eek!" A chill shot from her toes all the way to her brain, making Huiyi's ears stand up instantly. She then scrambled away from the pool, determined not to jump in, even though other horse girls were swimming in the pool at that moment, and perhaps the water temperature was just right for them.

However, given Huiyi's special status as a rheumatism patient, this water temperature is still unacceptable!

"Ah, cuckoo bird, good afternoon." Little Chestnut Hat sat on a chair away from the pool, put down her newspaper and looked at the disheveled Glow.

Huiyi almost forgot that there was a landlubber in the team. Wouldn't that mean that Little Chestnut Hat had seen what he looked like just now?

"Kuri... Good afternoon. I mean, is this swimming training necessary? Ugh, it's so cold. Can't the swimming pool have a heater?" Huiyi rubbed his knees discreetly. Anyway, the clueless Kuri wouldn't be able to tell that there was something wrong with his knees. He might as well just rub his knees to warm himself up.

Oguri nodded and held up the newspaper again: "Yeah, even though I'm a terrible swimmer, Uncle Liuping forced me to swim back then. Although the process was very uncomfortable, the results were still very good."

"So that's how it is... Wait, why are you holding a newspaper the whole time?"

"I just fell asleep, and with the newspaper covering my face, Kitahara wouldn't have seen that I was actually slacking off," Oguri explained.

"Where did you learn this stupid move from?"

"That's what they say in comic books, and it's very effective."

Well, Oguri is still as naive as ever. But Kitahara probably won't say anything if she slacks off, since she's already a retired horse racing girl. The only thing she needs to focus on is the Dream Cup at the end of the year, but it seems she hasn't decided to participate this year either.

"You're all changed so quickly? Let me ask you first, Huiyi, can you swim?" Beiyuan and Zhanxin Guanghui had also changed into their swimsuits. Comparing the four of them to their current physiques, Huiyi immediately felt...

I am indeed one of the most insignificant in Tresenne, even the Silent Suzuka can laugh at me.

I guess... I'll be sitting at the same table as Nishino Hana... Wait, considering Nishino Hana's height... she's not short either, is she?!

Even if she's a ruby, she's still quite well-endowed for her height!

Doubt, utter self-doubt, made Huiyi somewhat nostalgic for her former self, who, though not large, was at least somewhat established.

"Huiyi! Can you swim!" Beiyuan called out several times before Huiyi's soul came back to her senses. She turned around blankly and nodded, which was considered an answer, but she felt even more inferior.

Shining Radiance, holding a notebook and pen, noticed that Radiance seemed a bit strange compared to usual: "Radiance, are you really alright? If it's like Xiaoli, we can take it slow." Detecting something amiss with the horse girls in the team is a required course for logistics horse girls, and Shining Radiance has always been a top student in this subject.

Huiyi took a deep breath and slapped his chest to reply, "It's nothing. I was just confused by my own limited knowledge, but thinking that I haven't yet achieved true mastery, I feel relieved. I still have room to grow!"

As if to prove his point, Huiyi pounded his hard chest with a resounding thud.

"Ah...it's good that you're alright." Actually, Xin Guanghui thought it was nice for Huiyi to stay this small...but she only thought it in her heart. She also hoped that Huiyi could grow a bit more, which would be beneficial to her on the field.

After all, growth means an increase in strength.

Kitahara squatted by the pool, put his hand in, and frowned slightly: "The water's a bit cold. Are you sure you're okay? If you're not feeling well, we'll postpone our swimming training."

For Kitahara, who was about to go into the water for the first time, this water temperature probably wasn't suitable for a beginner.

"It's okay! Leave all the training to me! Train hard, make money, and achieve financial freedom!" After warming up by jumping up and down, Huiyi plunged into the pool before receiving any instructions from Beiyuan.

"Why is she still so impatient? But judging from her movements, she's not a beginner." Kitahara shook her head, but still squatted on the shore timing. However, when Huiyi was halfway back after climbing onto the opposite pool wall, she suddenly felt a jolt.

Oh no, I'm getting a cramp.

Firstly, Huiyi's ability to swim is something from his past life; secondly, this body hasn't adapted to it; and thirdly, his rheumatism has flared up.

"Gurgle!!" It only took a moment for the cramp to sink to the bottom. The new radiance reacted quickly, leaping into the pool to scoop up Radiance and throw it back onto the shore. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of swimming water, Radiance seemed to have lost its luster.

"I told you not to jump in so quickly. You must warm up before swimming. Are you getting a cramp?" Kitahara squatted down and covered the spot that Huiyi was holding.

Huiyi gritted his teeth and gasped, "That's it... Ouch, it hurts, cough!" Well, he spat out another mouthful of water.

If it really sinks to the bottom, it will probably evolve into a seahorse girl... Well, a seahorse is a horse, that's right.

Kitahara and Shining Glory each took charge of one of Radiant's legs, so it seems... today's swimming training is probably canceled.

After a series of howls, Huiyi was carried away from the swimming pool by Oguri Hat and Shining Radiance. However, before leaving, she saw Naise Fumino's team entering the pool again. Huiyi had to admit... she felt...

The Great Shock and the Dead Water in the Small Bay might be quite nice?

Looking down at my toes, I slapped myself in the face.

Seriously, what's so interesting about a tablet?

Give me some, give me some

Chapter 23 Alice

Huiyi Baiju suffered from cramps and rheumatism during his first swimming training session and was forced back into bed to receive intensive care. Instead of feeling comfortable, he felt uncomfortable all over.

I was enjoying the great care without a care in the world, but then the system that opened a separate page for the family tree suddenly popped up and inexplicably completed a phase of the task.

[Enjoying being treated like a useless person is pretty good, isn't it? Maybe we could continue in this direction?]

[The Making of a Useless Racer Girl: Stage 1 - Three Days of Being Taken Care of While Doing Nothing. Completed.]

[Reward: Strength increased to G+, and the feather trait specialized.]

"?"

Startled awake from his deathbed, Huiyi grabbed his own tail and, ignoring the pain, plucked a hair from it and placed it in his palm.

Its fur was originally a reed color, but now it's even whiter. Perhaps it shouldn't be called a reed-haired horse anymore; calling it a little white horse would be more appropriate.

She was shocked and left to go to class, but when she returned to her dormitory, she suddenly found that her roommate, whom she hadn't seen all day, had become even more eccentric. How could she cover up this inexplicable thing?

"Wait, my strength has increased to G+, so what was my original strength?" Huiyi belatedly realized that it must have been incredibly low!

The host's current data is as follows.

Speed: D

Endurance: G

[Strength: G+]

【根弍:)零迩2依僘零八充性：G】

Intelligence: S

[Skills: Pioneer, Concentration, Positioning Talent]

Current condition: Rheumatism (endurance training effect is down, not good in rainy or snowy weather)

Weakness (All training effects -15%)

[Training Boost: Speed ​​30%]

Well, what kind of ancient 3G horse racing girl is this?

Huiyi almost fainted. The stats looked terrible, and there was even a rainy day debuff. What surprised her even more was that her knowledge, which was that of a degenerated college student, could still be reflected in the horse girl's stats as an S.

You really can't expect athletes to be that smart.

However, the skill set is decent; at least it matches my current belief in sprinting. But when did I learn this skill? Is it because of the natural advantages of the human soul? My innate superior focus compared to horse girls... seems like a reasonable explanation.

Huiyi doesn't recall ever having any experience learning skills... so how is this kind of thing manifested?

Didn't you realize it because you've never really competed with horse girls before?

I thought my life was about to take off, but after seeing my attributes, I'm out of luck. Even if I train like crazy, I probably won't be able to reach a normal debut level...

No matter how fast or intelligent a horse is, it can't make up for its weak strength when fighting for position after leaving the gate and its inability to sustain itself for long races! In the world of Uma Musume, the phrase "strong enough to make bricks fly" is truly omnipotent.

"So annoying! Ughhhhh!" Huiyi pounded the innocent blanket in frustration, almost banging her head against the wall.

The days of eating radishes, humming songs, and playing games with my viewers in my dorm room, which even made them spend money, were abruptly interrupted. The train of my pleasant life derailed instantly, which was simply suffocating.

Huiyi jumped out of bed and put on her bright red training uniform. Since this damn system couldn't stand her enjoying herself, she had to rise up! Anyone can slack off, but getting back into a state of high spirits is the hard part!

"Alright, let's strive for financial freedom! After debuting, I'll only participate in competitions with high prize money... As for the pressure, let Kitahara handle it himself!" With these thoughts in mind, Huiyi tied his shoelaces and dashed out of the dormitory.

Now that she has learned about her weaknesses from the system, she should start to make up for them. However, the only endurance training currently recognized in Tresene is swimming. So Huiyi is curious whether she can use human methods to train herself as a horse girl.

For example, aerobic exercise like mountain biking... that should be fine, right?

Lost in thought, Huiyi didn't notice the obstacles ahead as she jogged along the road. She had originally thought that no horse girls would be wandering around the campus during class time, but now a special case of a horse girl who didn't have to attend class had appeared.

dang!

Huiyi's petite body crashed headfirst into the arms of the man in the white coat standing in the middle of the road, then she was thrown back, her bottom shoving painfully against the concrete. She reached back and rubbed her tailbone, wincing and hissing, "Ouch, it hurts so much..."

"Hmm? Such pure hair color~" The person who was bumped did not think about the fact that she was bumped at first. Instead, she was concerned about Huiyi's extremely pure hair color. Even though she had seen countless female horses, this was the first time that Alice in her white coat had encountered such pure hair color.

It might be an excellent guinea pig.

"Huh? Hair color... wait... ee!!" It's Alice!

"Croak! That crazy mad scientist!" Huiyi ignored the pain and was directly supported by his stiff tail, standing on the spot.

"Love...love love..." Nervous, from the strange books Huiyi had seen, Alice had always been the provider of bad ideas. Now that she had run into the real person, that stereotype directly took control of her already small brain.

Alice rubbed her chin with interest: "Alice, are you... a freshman this year?" Freshman was the only option, because Alice knew almost all the racehorse girls who had already entered the race in Tresene.

"Yes...yes! I have training to do, so I'll leave now...I'm so sorry for bumping into Alice-senpai, I apologize!" After bowing three times at a 90-degree angle, Huiyi was about to dart out when Alice grabbed him. He tried to struggle a little but found that her grip was as firm as a steel clamp.

As expected of the phantom racehorse girl who easily won the Satsuki Prize... But why is she targeting me?! It was just a bump...! Kaguya cried out in her heart, but she could only accept the reality.

"Senior Alice...?"

"Hmm? It's nothing, I just suddenly succumbed to the horse girl's genetic instincts. There's a lot of information showing that horse girls are naturally closer to barn-haired horse girls, like barn-haired horse girls are more affectionate, or rather... horse girls' genes inherently carry an affinity for barn-haired horses." Alice explained her actions as she released her grip, but to Hikari, it sounded like utter nonsense...

Considering the white-haired girl who was specially supplied to Chinese people in her previous life, what Alice said doesn't seem to be wrong.
