Uma Musume, Master of Love

[Cuckoo Bird Official]: Hey guys, I'm finally getting to drink this stuff! I've been drooling over it.

Huh? Is the streamer about to open a bottle and chug some alcohol? No way!!

Wait a minute, shouldn't we be checking if the cuckoo bird is an adult? It's illegal for minors to drink alcohol, and besides, what heartless person would dare to sell alcohol to a cuckoo bird?

[Cuckoo Bird Official]: Ugh, what do you guys mean? Age isn't a problem. You can just have someone change the numbers, so don't worry about it so much. Okay, brothers, let's do it!

After sending the message, Huiyi tossed the phone aside, opened the bottle cap, and a faint aroma of fruit and rice wafted out. Overall, the scent was very mild, without the pungent, brain-inducing feeling of Erguotou.

"Can this thing really be called alcohol... It smells more like a fruit drink. I hope it doesn't even taste as good as a chocolate liqueur." Huiyi looked the bottle up and down, and finally blew on it with a disdainful expression.

But she actually overlooked one thing: she usually just popped a chocolate bar into her mouth whenever she felt like it, with long intervals between them, so she never got drunk.

But she's in Ma Niang's body now, and she's no longer the drinking maniac she was in her previous life who could chug Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor). These two sips of sake are making her a little tipsy.

Smacking his lips, Huiyi remained rational, but his eyes held a hint of disbelief as he looked at the wine bottle.

Is she a little tipsy from drinking this stuff?

On Sunday, Ning Jing had just taken a shower at the hotel. She was sitting on the edge of the bed wrapped in a bath towel, her hair still wet. Water droplets were gathering at the ends of her black hair, eventually dripping onto the dark wooden floor.

She was frowning as she looked at the messages on her phone. Sometimes she really couldn't understand what was wrong with the streamer's brain. She edited the message in the chat box several times, but in the end, she still didn't know what to say.

[Cuckoo Bird Official]: Hey guys, I'm finally getting to drink this! I've been drooling over it. (Sake image)

She's been in this group for several years now. It seems she joined when Gugu Bird first started live streaming and decided to create the group. Back then, she chose to watch these live streams to relieve her boredom because she was feeling overwhelmed by various things in the United States.

I never expected it to turn out this way. All I can say is... On Sunday, Ning Jing felt that things weren't worth it in the US.

As it happened, Japan extended an invitation, and since Zhou Rijing had no intention of staying in the United States, she settled in Japan. After living there for a while, she found that Japan was much more comfortable than the United States.

Chunlu Sibing is her second face on the internet. Although in reality she doesn't like Lumaomaniang to the point of being high, she has learned one thing on the internet: to amplify certain things.

So on Sunday, Ning Jing emphasized her only two hobbies during her interaction with netizens. As for her other hobby... it's not easy to contact her while she's in Japan.

Another hobby of hers is American iaido. She even won the college championship in Teresa in the United States before, but she has been busy with competitions since then and hasn't had much time to focus on it.

But now she has heard that there is also a female horse in Teresane, Japan, who once won the championship in the academy's quick-draw competition. Perhaps there will be a chance to compete with her in the future.

【Pure Reed Like Ice】: Aren't you afraid of getting drunk? I bet people who brag about drinking will go on a drunken rampage before they even finish half a bottle. They might even call and post pictures later.

After sending the message on Sunday, Ning Jing hummed softly as she picked up a hairdryer to dry her hair. The message was out; whether the cuckoo bird would see it or not was up to fate. Would it get drunk...?

-

In the trainer's dormitory, Kitahara, who had just finished his work and was about to go to bed, suddenly remembered the Cuckoo Bird fan group he had joined during the day. With the thought of checking if she was asleep before going to bed, he opened the group chat and then experienced a sudden cardiac arrest.

(Image of sake)

[Kitahara Jones]: Wait, this is alcohol?! How could you drink alcohol?!

Kitahara didn't even change the nickname of her work account before sending the message. However, she felt that Huiyi wouldn't be able to see her at this time. After all, if she frequently chatted in the group, Kitahara should have known when she joined the group in the afternoon.

So after sending this message, Kitahara changed his nickname in the group chat to "Little White Horse, How Laughable, How Laughable".

But Kitahara was furious. Central Tereson had explicitly forbidden active-duty racer girls from drinking alcohol on campus, and you sneaked off-campus to drink it, huh?! The crucial question is, who sold her that alcohol?!

This is no longer an ordinary teaching accident, nor is it just ordinary horse girl being naughty. This must be dealt with severely!

This is the Radiant Light that Kitahara saw. Could she have also dragged Great Shock and those little pony girls along for a drink? If so... the situation might be even worse!

Kitahara grinned, pressing his palm to his chest and rubbing it repeatedly until he felt better. He had originally planned to be an undercover agent for a while, but he never expected to encounter such a huge mess as soon as he joined the group...

"I'll beat you up when you get back..." Kitahara clutched his heart and rolled around on the bed.

I'm busy packing my bags to go home today!

So there are no little stories!

Chapter 55 Perfectly Missed Little White Hair

Although he was drunk, Huiyi still had a strong consciousness and the medicinal food buff given by the system, so his mental state was relatively stable, only his body was a little uncoordinated.

I originally wanted to take a shower, but after getting out of bed and taking a few steps, I tripped and fell on the marble floor, so I behaved myself and obediently climbed back into bed and slept soundly until dawn. When I opened my eyes the next day, I was almost vomiting because of the strange taste in my mouth.

"Ugh, pfft. It's not much alcohol, but when I woke up the next day, I felt exactly like I'd drunk Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor)." Huiyi slapped himself on both hands to sober up before taking a shower to wash away the faint smell of alcohol.

After drying herself off and getting dressed, she collapsed back into bed. Her phone was already overflowing with unread and unreply private messages. Just glancing at Huiyi made her feel exhausted; her editor was already nagging her again.

I haven't had enough livestream time lately!

After reading his message, Huiyi chose to read it but not reply. Since it was a rare time to relax, he naturally wanted to go out and have fun. Why think about so many work-related things?

Huiyi casually combed her hair and left the room with her long hair loose. It was breakfast time, and there was a breakfast stall downstairs at the hotel, so she picked up some breakfast for them as well. Then she went back upstairs with her bags full of things.

Since he bought sandwiches anyway, he wasn't worried about them getting cold. Huiyi picked up his phone and looked at the more than 3,000 group chat messages from last night. Most of them were mocking him for drinking himself into oblivion after sending the pictures.

【Cuckoo Bird Official】: You guys are really something. I wasn't drunk. I usually have a pretty good alcohol tolerance. Last night, when I was trying to take a shower, I just collapsed onto the floor and fell peacefully asleep.

"?"

Several question marks appeared at the same time, after all, no one would have thought that the cuckoo bird would just fall asleep on the bed.

As expected, the streamer's mental state is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. What idiot would fall down and then just lie down and sleep on the ground?

Sometimes we have to admit that Cuckoo Bird is a sweet, soft, and silly little girl! Dear streamer! We love you, Cuckoo Bird, when are you going to show your face?!

[Cuckoo Bird Official]: You can dream about showing my face. Unless there's a livestream mishap, I'm not going to show my face. I'm a streamer who makes a living through my skills. If you guys saw my face, my livelihood would change!

Just kidding, Huiyi knows very well what she relies on to make a living now. Although she has already received a reward, racing is ultimately a job for her to earn money. Who knows, one day her enthusiasm for making money will disappear and she will disappear from the race.

Live streaming is her hobby, and she can even make money from it! It's just that the editor's constant nagging is getting too annoying. She'll just go directly to the live streaming platform's company to discuss this in the future.

Just get rid of the person in charge!

Big Shock and the other little pony girls didn't wake up until noon. Actually, Big Shock didn't know why she woke up so late that day, because usually she would only wake up around eight o'clock.

After sitting on the edge of the bed and thinking it over, she decided to put all the blame on Huiyi, because if it weren't for Huiyi, she wouldn't have stayed up so late... so it makes perfect sense!

The trainers didn't specify how much time was allocated for leisure activities, so Huiyi took full advantage of her initiative and calculated all holidays without a specific timeframe as three days!

After having breakfast/lunch, Huiyi decided to go to the amusement park with a few others. After all, Dazhenhan said yesterday that he could get in for free because of his height... Looking at the queue, it would only cost Dazhenhan's ticket price!

As the group waited at the bus stop, a black Maybach roared past, speeding towards Tresson, the wind it created making Huiyi's hair on the platform quite messy.

"Is this driver's license from a wholesale source? Driving so fast in the city... If I hadn't forgotten the license plate number, I would definitely have reported him." Holding back her flying hair, Huiyi turned her head and gave the Maybach's exhaust fumes a useless glare.

Sure enough, no matter what country or brand of car it is, the exhaust fumes after driving by are still a bit intoxicating, just like the exhaust fumes from motorcycles and tractors I smelled when I was a kid.

----

One of the passengers in the Maybach was Zhou Rijing, who was heading to Chuo Tressen in Japan. She had just caught a glimpse of the white figure on the platform, but the car was moving too fast and it flashed by so quickly that she didn't even have time to observe it closely.

In the end, in Zhou Rijing's memory, she was just an ordinary passing-by horse girl with a long hair. All her thoughts were currently focused on going to the central area to find the champion quick-draw horse girl and the white horse girl, Shining White Horse, who had won her debut in Hakodate.

In fact, on Sunday, Ning Jing was also pondering a question: should she call Huiyi Baiju "Lu Mao" or "Bai Mao"? Because her hair color was so bright that it completely lacked the gray tone that Lu Mao Ma Niang's hair color had.

However, there is another saying in the world that white-haired ponies can't run fast... So Zhou Ri Ningjing didn't dare to draw a conclusion, and could only consider her in her heart as a white-haired pony with great potential.

"Miss, the student council president of Teresa from Japan is already at the academy gate."

"Such a grand welcome... I'm clearly her junior, aren't I?" Zhou Ri Ningjing had heard about the strict senior-junior etiquette in Japanese officialdom, but she really didn't expect to receive this kind of treatment.

The man in black explained, "Miss, you did come here at the invitation of the Japanese URA. We are the guests, and they are the hosts. This is normal, and your record in the United States is quite impressive."

"Ha, what's the use of good grades? I'm still not well-liked, aren't I? Otherwise, why do you think... I would want to leave that annoying place in America?" Zhou Ri Ningjing shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with self-deprecation.

Ever since a car accident in her childhood, she has been tainted with a dark aura. On the racetrack, she intimidates other female racehorses, while off the track, she is not accepted by anyone. Zhou Ri Ning Ning has become numb to this.

The man in black didn't know how to respond to Zhou Ri Ningjing's words, but fortunately they were about to reach their destination. After the car came to a complete stop, he got out and opened the car door for Zhou Ri Ningjing.

"Miss, please get off the bus."

Rudolf Symbol and Surugawa Tsuna had been waiting at the academy gate for a long time. When the car door opened, they saw a horse girl who left a deep impression on them. She had long black hair and was wearing a smart black suit.

Manchester City Tea House? Even though he already knew that she was a retired racehorse girl who had come from the United States to settle in Japan, this was still Rudolph's first impression. The horse girl in front of him looked too much like that dark skyscraper.

"Hello to everyone from Teresen, Japan."

The horse girl's voice was devoid of any emotion as she extended her hand.

I will never talk nonsense again.

I will never play Mita again.

I'm wrong

Woo woo

Chapter 56 Are you looking for Huiyi?

“Hello, Miss Sunday Serenity.” Rudolf extended his hand to shake hers, then gave a slight bow.

For Rudolph, Sunday's visit was quite unexpected. She had just finished dealing with some of the things that the little pony girls would send her every day and was about to go to bed when she received the news that Sunday was coming.

Sometimes she felt a deep sense of helplessness towards these people who made decisions on a whim, but after the helplessness subsided, she still had to do the job.

On Sunday, Ning Jing's gaze quickly swept around. The Central Tereson Academy in Japan looked very simple and unpretentious, unlike the Tereson Academy in the United States where she had studied.

She was quite satisfied with her first impression of the place. Releasing her hand from Rudolf's, she said, "I'm sorry for making such a sudden decision and for making you, as my senior, wait for me here."

On Sunday, Ning Jing rarely felt a sense of kindness from strangers. Recalling her time living in the United States, she thought for a moment and decided not to make any comparisons.

"You're joking. Let's go to the student council room first. Does Miss Ning Jing plan to stay overnight in Teresen tonight?"

"Well, if possible, could you please help me arrange accommodation?" Zhou Ri Ningjing's slightly upturned lips during the conversation revealed her excellent mood.

Finally, Rudolf and Sunday Serenity headed to the student council room, while Surugawa Tsuna began arranging Sunday Serenity's accommodation.

The journey was inevitably a bit boring, and seeing Zhou Ri Ningjing's very familiar appearance, Rudolf spoke up to ease the atmosphere: "Miss Zhou Ri Ningjing, do you know the Manchester Tea House?"

Apart from the slight difference in the shooting star on their foreheads, the two looked almost identical.

Rudolph suddenly felt that this situation was familiar to her, because when the Emperor of the East Sea made his debut, many people said that the emperor looked like he was carved from the same mold as the emperor.

On Sunday, after hearing the question, Ning Jing's ears twitched slightly, and she chuckled softly as she replied, "Manchester Tea House... I think I've noticed this kid before. He won the Chrysanthemum Prize and the Arima Kinen in Japan, right?"

"Yes, and there's also the Emperor's Sho-Shun next year. A very good racehorse girl." Rudolph was slightly surprised that Sunday Ningjing was actually paying attention to Japanese racehorse girls, because she thought that a racehorse girl like Sunday Ningjing, who had achieved very good results in the United States, would be too busy to keep up.

But in reality, Rudolph's thinking was too narrow; at least she didn't understand the American horse racing system and bureaucracy.

In fact, Ning Jing is usually quite free on Sundays and has some involvement in Japanese races. She remembers that a few years ago there was a female racehorse who looked a lot like her, so she paid special attention to that female racehorse.

It now seems that the horse racing girl was indeed called Manchester Tea House.

This is also the peak time for foot traffic on the Central Teresen campus, and one of the hobbies of the teenage girls is to gossip.

Many horse girls started gossiping when they saw their beloved Chairman Rudolf walking together with a horse girl dressed entirely in black.

"Hey, is this... could this be the president's new love interest? She looks so familiar?"

"As expected, look~ the president has changed his horse girl again. The title of Night Emperor of Treson is well-deserved."

"Is that lady from the Manchester tea house? She looks like her, but she seems to be quite a bit taller than the one from the tea house."

"What a cool horse girl... Waaah~ I also want to become the Night Emperor like the Student Council President!"

Hmm? It seems like something extraordinary has infiltrated these gossip groups, but upon closer listening, that discordant voice disappears.

Listening to the whispered gossip of the horse girls, Zhou Ri Ningjing asked Rudolf with great interest, "It seems you're quite popular at the academy?"

"Ah, I guess so. It's just that those little guys always spread some strange, baseless rumors." Rudolph's lips twitched slightly, clearly indicating that she didn't really want to answer the question.

Even emperors have their troubles, especially when faced with the gossip of the little pony girls.

"Hmm... I can tell. If it were me, I'd also be eager to watch the drama unfold." Zhou Ri Ningjing smiled knowingly and then fell silent.

The little pony girls behind them were whispering among themselves, while the Manchester Tea House, which had been annoyed by Alice and was about to bring her lunch back to the lab, happened to pass by from around the corner.

Originally, the Manchester tea house wouldn't have turned its attention to that place, but when walking through the crowd and hearing its own name listed alongside the Rudolph symbol, it couldn't help but curiously shift its gaze there.

I thought it was a completely unrelated matter, but I was slightly taken aback when I saw that black shadow.

That shadow really looked so much like her "friend"—the suit and the way he walked were almost like it had been sculpted.

"Hey? You're here at the tea house? Who's that horse lady accompanying the president up ahead?" The friends at the Manchester tea house also noticed her and were also puzzled.

Manchester Tea House was still carrying a packed lunch. Although she was also curious, she didn't want to linger there for too long, so she shook her head and replied, "I... I'm not really sure. Maybe it's a racehorse girl who looks a lot like me..."

Strangely enough, she hadn't seen her "friend" since this morning; she couldn't find her anywhere in sight.

Manchester Tea House still felt quite disappointed because the goal they had always wanted to follow had disappeared without a trace, and now that horse girl was walking ahead...

This gave the Manchester tea house the illusion that "friends have stepped out into the real world".

Finally, they watched Sunday tranquility and Rudolf symbolize departure.
