Uma Musume, Master of Love

A small chestnut hat and a gleaming white horse were enough to eat all the food in the Kitahara train car, so in the end, they decided to just buy as much as they could eat at the Coast Supermarket.

Moreover, I heard that the coast is offering a 25% discount on Oguri Hat's merchandise, which is a kind of promotion.

"Why are you still playing around on the beach? Huiyi, come help skewer the ingredients. We can talk about going swimming after we're done," Beiyuan said, pointing to the meat and vegetables on several trays. Huiyi agreed, put on plastic gloves, and started working.

Kitahara also noticed the bright palm print at this moment, while Zhou Ri Ning crossed her arms, tapped her elbows with her fingertips, snorted softly, and took the initiative to help Xiao Li Mao carry the groceries she bought from the supermarket.

The group exchanged a knowing, silent smile with their backs to Huiyi, then went about their own business.

After finishing the preparations, it was getting dark, which was the perfect time to start the barbecue. According to the usual rules, Isshiki Beach would not be open after 5 pm. However, in order to celebrate the summer training of the first ever hybrid double crown horse, Queen Hawaii, on Isshiki Beach, the official rules were lifted this year, and the closing time of Isshiki Beach was changed to 2 am to 7 am every day.

The blazing charcoal fire licked the food placed on it. Kitahara and Shinshin Radiance were busy serving, while Radiance lay on a beach chair and waited for a firework to bloom in the night sky before snapping a photo and posting it on his WeChat Moments.

And unusually, he also added a text: "For the first time, I'm spending August in a proper manner. My next goal is to win the Daily Cup New Malaysia S and Hanshin JF!"

Amidst the dazzling fireworks and the deep night sky, this unassuming line of small white text was cleverly concealed within the fireworks pattern by Huiyi. Whether any observant person will spot it remains to be seen; let fate decide.

"Huiyi, you can cook so many delicious dishes on the winner's stage, you can't possibly not know how to barbecue, right? Come and help me out!"

"I'm an expert at frying, stir-frying, cooking, and boiling~ but I just can't bake. What a coincidence~ Kitahara-san and Mitsuki-chan, good luck!" Hikari stuck out her tongue in response and took a sip of the carbonated drink on the table.

The legendary two-time champion Hawaiian mare is right on the coast. Should we try our luck and meet this current star racehorse? Huiyi herself is also very curious, because in the past she has only met retired seniors.

Such as Little Chestnut Hat, Emperor of the East Sea, Big Tree Express, or First Ruby... Of course, Ruby is only occasionally glimpsed from afar, but the young lady's temperament is enough to show her status.

Looking back now, the only senior player I've seen still active in the arena is Kim Jin-soo, right?

"What are you thinking about? You look like you're about to have your soul leave your body." Zhou Ri Ningjing pushed Huiyi's legs aside to make room for him, sat down, clinked her drink cans together, and then drank.

Huiyi smacked her lips and replied with some longing, "I want to see the King of Hawaii! It's the first time I've felt like such a big star is right next to me. I feel like I'd be missing out if I didn't go see him. Maybe I can even audit some training sessions together or something. Just thinking about it makes me feel so lucky!"

Of course, Diamond Treasure, who is still competing, is also quite good. I overheard my classmates chatting at the academy, and it seems they are going to challenge for this year's Autumn Triple Crown? But considering Diamond Treasure's weakness in water, it's unlikely they will come to the beach.

On Sunday, Ning Jing nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see. I can talk to her about it for you. A consultant still needs to have some face, right? Besides, it's almost the end of summer, her training program should have finished long ago, and our visit won't bother her."

"Wow~ Foreign racehorse girls have so many advantages. Will I get the same treatment when I go to America?" Huiyi gulped down her drink and asked, tilting her head.

"No, after you finish the Breeders World Championships as promised, I suggest you never go to America again. It's not a good place." Moreover, after this period of contact, Zhou Ri Ningjing also didn't really want Huiyi to go to America to run the Breeders World Championships.

Because although this girl seems to be defiant and argumentative on the surface, once you get to know her, you'll find that she's still not beyond the category of a purebred female horse on the racetrack. If she were really in America... she might be traumatized by Superhero.

After all, even the great American racehorse secretariat of the last century suffered from psychological trauma during a race on the Ersanne-London track.

"Okay, so if I were to go overseas... where would you recommend I go?"

"The Middle East, Australia, Europe, anywhere is fine, just don't come to America. Racehorses are too fierce for you to handle. If you want to make money, go to the Middle East, like the Dubai World Cup or something. You can make three or four million dollars just by winning one race. Aren't you envious?" Zhou Ri Ningjing smiled gently, rubbing her index finger and thumb together.

The races in the Middle East are indeed impressive, and Huiyi had considered them, but the thought of the world's best racehorses making her back down made her hesitate. Her current plan is to complete the scheduled races for the new horse season and see how the results are.

Then estimate where you stand in the world during the Classical and Ancient Martian periods.

Huiyi casually picked up a nearly cooked skewer, blew on it, and replied, "We'll see~ I'm only thinking about making money. Actually, earning bounty in China isn't any worse than abroad~"

"You said you don't know how to barbecue! How come you picked it up and ate it! You still know how to watch the heat! Come and do some work!" Seeing this, Beiyuan directly dragged Huiyi, who was stealing food, to the barbecue area. Zhou Ri Ningjing bit her nails to suppress her laughter and comfortably lay down on the beach chair.

Actually, she originally had a bit of a desire to usurp someone else's place.

Chapter 70 Then I'll try the triple crown variation?

The consequence of being greedy is punishment. While Huiyi was making barbecue in a miserable state, he was also regretting why he had impulsively eaten that skewer that was already grilled... If he had waited a few more minutes, Beiyuan could have taken it down...!

The reality is that Huiyi can indeed do the work of three to five people in the kitchen. Beiyuan doesn't dare to use high heat for baking, but Huiyi has a natural grasp of the heat, which directly increases efficiency by several levels.

It even surpasses the speed at which Little Chestnut Hat can eat, because even Little Chestnut Hat needs to let the skewers cool down a bit before eating them, and this back and forth creates a huge difference.

When everyone in the group had almost finished eating, the seemingly emotionless barbecue machine suddenly snapped out of its daze and glared resentfully at Kitahara: "Kitahara! You were already full, weren't you? Why didn't you help me? You should have been grilling too!"

Thinking about it this way, Huiyi is at a huge loss!

"Oh ho, this is to give you a little training~" Kitahara had just finished picking his teeth and took the skewers that Huiyi hadn't finished grilling yet. Huiyi sat down at the table, picked up a carrot, and took a big bite, chewing it as if to vent his frustration.

The raw carrots were crunchy and delicious. After chewing on a carrot and then taking a bite of a skewer sprinkled with chili powder, Huiyi let out a soft sigh, which drew everyone's attention.

"Why are you sighing again? Did you not bake it well?" Kitahara's smile was unheard of, and she could tell from his tone that he wasn't up to any good.

"I'm going to live the life of a useless racehorse girl where everyone takes care of my food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. I can eat as soon as I open my eyes and sleep as soon as I close them!" Perhaps thinking about the fun that kind of life would bring, she chuckled foolishly when she said it, and then choked on the strong chili powder.

"What a hopeless idiot." Zhou Ri Ning rolled her eyes and turned away, refusing to look at him again.

----

The next morning, Huiyi woke up on the floor feeling sore and her throat was burning. She sniffed her stuffy nose and struggled to get up, still feeling a little dizzy.

"Cough cough, I should have drunk some water before bed... The consequences of eating and sleeping right away, ugh." Huiyi picked up the remaining half bottle of water from the bedside table and gulped it down. He then saw Zhou Ri Ningjing still playing an unknown mobile game on the sofa.

Curious, she leaned closer and looked at it, then asked in surprise, "You...you actually play this kind of pay-to-win mobile game?"

It's a completely mindless pay-to-win mobile game that Huiyi wouldn't even glance at... but Zhou Rining is having a blast playing it now. This is the first time Huiyi has felt a generational gap with Ma Niang...

On Sunday, Ning Jing saw that Hui Yi was awake, so she turned off her phone and tossed her a coat: "I have money, so I naturally want to make myself happy. It's not important that I'm scammed. Hurry up and wash up. We're going out to see the King of Hawaii. I've already talked to them tonight."

"So you're in such a hurry? I know—did you talk to Kitahara and the others? It's not really appropriate for us to go out like this by ourselves, is it?"

"It's okay, I'm just going to have fun these next few days anyway, so I might as well learn some experience." With that, Zhou Ri Ning shooed Hui Yi into the laundry room, and a few minutes later she came out wearing her coat.

After the two went downstairs and had breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock. On Sunday, Ning Jing kept checking her phone and looking up at the road signs. Her half-walking and half-stopping manner made Hui Yi wonder if she was directionally challenged.

"Are you lost? Let me see, let me help you?" Huiyi gestured for her to hand over her phone, but Zhou Rining stubbornly refused, so the two of them didn't find the Hawaii King on the beach until noon.

Ultimately, it was the horse girl who won the NHK Championship and Derby. Even standing behind Sunday Ningjing, Huiyi could feel the faint pressure emanating from the Hawaiian King. She swallowed hard but still didn't dare to take the initiative to greet this seemingly fierce racehorse girl.

On Sunday, Ning Jing greeted Hawaii T, then brought Huiyi in front of her and said, "This is the racehorse girl I wanted to introduce, Huiyi White Horse. Would you like to say something?"

"I remember, the dishes made by Uma Musume, who debuted in Hakodate and won two consecutive victories there, are quite tempting." The King of Hawaii was not as harsh as he seemed, and his words gave people a friendly feeling.

Huiyi picked at her nails, thinking that the other person's answer would either be that they didn't know her or that they would just say a few words in response... Who would have thought that they would bring up cooking again!

"Hello, senior Hawaii King... I... I really envy your double crown..." What should I say... Huiyi's mind went blank, and he almost babbled nonsense while looking at this big sister with deer fur.

Queen Hawaii laughed heartily, one hand on her hip. She was also very curious about this little white horse, because white horses that could achieve good results were rare, even in the Central Region and the whole world.

A racehorse like Shining White Horse, which can win consecutive races and take home big prizes right from its debut, is an even greater treasure.

"Don't be nervous~ I heard from senior Ning Jing on Sunday that you want to learn from her experience. What do you want to learn?"

"How do you run mile and middle-distance races! Although I'm still struggling in short distances... but..."

"But you already said you wanted to participate in the Hanshin JF at the end of the year, right? No problem, but you need to have the stamina to run mile and middle-distance races first. What is your current limit?" The King of Hawaii would not underestimate any racehorse girl, because Miura Bourbon, a two-time champion racehorse girl, has already refreshed people's understanding.

In Uma Musume, there is nothing that hard training cannot solve.

After chatting about topics they shared, Huiyi became less reserved and honestly explained his situation, earning the approving look of the King of Hawaii.

Because it's rare to find a racehorse girl who improves so quickly! It's a wonderful thing to have taught such a promising junior!

After that, Huiyi was pulled away by the more enthusiastic King Hawaii. On Sunday, Ningjing watched the two of them walk away and said to King Hawaii's trainer, "It seems that we are no longer needed. Did you know that King Hawaii was such an enthusiastic racehorse girl?"

"I only had a vague feeling before, but this is the first time I've seen the Queen of Hawaii treat a racehorse girl she just met so warmly. She's always treated everyone equally... This is strange."

"Perhaps it's because Huiyi, as a white-haired racehorse girl, has a mysterious affinity among racehorse girls." Zhou Ri Ningjing blinked, choosing to blur the image.

On the other side of the beach, the Hawaiian Queen first drew a race track map for Huiyi, and then compared it with the theoretical knowledge taught by the professor. She spoke very slowly and in great detail, and Huiyi felt that what she taught was much more interesting than the boring knowledge in the classroom.

His mind had learned it, but he didn't know how his body would react. Nevertheless, Huiyi confidently declared, "I've learned it!"

"Hmm, you're quite quick to learn~ Are you aiming for the Classic Triple Crown next year? And then become famous throughout Japan!"

"Well... I won't be going for the classic triple crown, but I can learn from the Hawaiian King and try a variation triple crown at the NHK cherry blossom viewing and the Akika viewing!"

"Oh~ you've got quite the nerve. Good luck~ and then we'll have a head-to-head showdown at the Arima Kinen stadium?" King Hawaii found Huiyi very likable and made a fist as a guarantee.

It might feel a bit like bullying a child... but this is something that will cost the reputation of Uma Musume!

Huiyi then extended his palm and met the Hawaiian King's fist head-on: "It should... be possible!"

The reason there wasn't a mini-theatre segment is that I was busy cosplaying Oguri Hat this afternoon... and ended up getting completely outshone by the inner vest, so I could only take photos wearing my own shirt...

This felt like the worst one yet.

And as readers who know the Queen of Hawaii know... the Queen of Hawaii... um... cough

Chapter 71 Growing Again

Before leaving, Huiyi Baiju suddenly had the idea to take a photo with the King of Hawaii. Of course, she had no intention of posting it on social media. She just wanted to keep the photo on her phone as a good source of inspiration.

On Sunday, Ning Jing suddenly nudged Hui Yi with her elbow halfway through the journey and asked what she had learned while she was alone with Hawaiian Queen: "What did you do when you were with Hawaiian Queen? Her trainer said that Hawaiian Queen is not usually this enthusiastic towards other horse girls."

Hearing this, Huiyi confidently tossed her long hair and said disdainfully, "It's probably because of my unparalleled beautiful white hair~ If you had white hair and such good grades, you wouldn't be much different from me... oh no, you'd probably be a bit worse than me, because you~ don't have my charming personality~"

The flippant tone was undisguised, coupled with the girl's faint smile, Zhou Ri Ningjing's hands, which were behind her back, suddenly hardened, but in the end she still resisted the urge to punch her.

"You're definitely cuter when you're silent. It's getting late, let's go back to Kitahara. There's a fireworks festival tonight, interested in seeing it?"

"Oh~ a fireworks display~ sounds like such a romantic event. Are there lots of couples showing off their love? If not, I'm not going." Huiyi's finger-rubbing gesture suddenly became unusually lewd, like a ball of yarn. Zhou Rijing sighed heavily. What kind of mental state were the three goddesses in when they created her...?

Could it be that you three old folks just casually rubbed her out when she was young?

However, Ning Jing answered seriously on Sunday: "Yes, at times like this, you can have as much dog food as you want. I suggest going to the benches. All you can see are couples sitting side by side. When the fireworks go off, the couples start kissing each other."

After hearing Zhou Ningjing's description, Huiyi couldn't help but give her a disdainful look: "You described a romantic kiss under the dazzling fireworks as mutual biting. Sure enough, the emotional intelligence of Americans stops at this level."

"Because you and I are both idiots who fantasize about having a partner? But I've never had any intention of finding a partner since I was heartbroken by America, and I always feel that life isn't worth living~"

The two chatted idly as they arrived at the barbecue spot from the previous day. Since it was past lunchtime, they could only buy two bento boxes from the store to make do. When they arrived at the spot, Kitahara was fast asleep with a beach magazine covering her face, except that her skin tone had darkened by a shade.

"Pfft... Radiant, Oguri. Did Kitahara fall asleep without sunscreen? And so... brazenly?" Radiant asked Kitahara as he ate a few mouthfuls of rice, then stood beside him with his lunchbox, his expression changing as he smacked his lips when he tasted a carrot.

These carrots aren't good; they're all mushy. But considering this is a cheap boxed lunch, it's not unexpected.

As Shining Radiance repaired its sandcastle, it answered softly, "Maybe...? I've been building this sandcastle since just now. The trainer's probably going to be in trouble when he wakes up, huh? The only parts of his body covered by a swimsuit and magazines are all white or something..."

Perhaps thinking of Kitahara's bewildered expression, Shinonome covered her mouth with the back of one hand, suppressing a laugh.

But Huiyi was a kind-hearted horse racing girl. She squatted down, holding the lunchbox in one hand and removing the magazine from Beiyuan's face with the other. Then she picked up a piece of rotten carrot and placed it on her lips.

Kitahara's nose twitched a few times, and as his lips opened and closed, a carrot slice fell in. After instinctively chewing it, Kitahara exploded like an engine that had been overturned.

"Cough cough, what is this... ptooey." Bei Yuan coughed a few times and spat out the unknown foreign object in his mouth. He then saw Hui Yi squatting to the side eating, looking smug. So he put one hand on his hip and questioned, "Did you put sand in my mouth?"

"No, no, no, it's just a carrot in the lunchbox. But the cheap lunchbox is already mushy, everything else is pretty good. I just wanted to wake you up; sleeping in the sun is too daring." Huiyi's chopsticks wiggled slightly in the air, then she gestured with her lips towards the bottom of the parasol.

"Oh, I see... Thank you. Luckily I didn't sleep too long, or I would have become a dark horse..."

"A dark horse emerged from the crowd! She shouted, 'I want to be the dark horse of the future!'" Huiyi was interrupted halfway through her sentence by Beiyuan, who struck her on the head. She silently squatted in a corner, took a bite of Yi Yi's food, and after finishing her meal, a cricket chirped, and tears of grievance flowed down her cheeks.

----

After lunch, Huiyi lay comfortably on the beach, enjoying the soothing sensation of the warm sand rubbing against his back. After applying sunscreen, he covered his face with a magazine, closed his eyes, and began to daydream.

Of course, it couldn't be aimless daydreaming; it was about demanding the rewards for the task that the system had skipped yesterday because it was closing time!

Get out of here, you ditch system that's up 9 AM and working 3 PM! You think you can delay my salary just because you met your performance targets?! Even bosses in their past lives wouldn't dare delay my salary, who do you think you are!

【Alright, Miss…why are you making such a loud noise…remember to check your messages!】

The system muttered something and then disappeared, leaving behind a new task that was now being sent to Huiyi's face.

Now that I'm a celebrity, how can my livestreaming account's followers be limited to just 58,000! I must grow bigger, stronger, and achieve great success!

[If the number of followers exceeds 200,000 before the end of December, unfair competitive practices such as buying fake followers are not allowed!]

[Objective not achieved: Great shock, Hawaiian King's favorability increased by 100]

[Objective Achieved: 1 Random Gold Skill]

[Currently, Great Shock's favorability is 55, and King Hawaii's favorability is 30.]

...? Huiyi was completely dumbfounded. He originally thought the punishment was to increase his sensitivity, but now it was changed to increase other people's favorability? What the hell?

A maxed-out affection level experience of imprisonment and cannibalism...?!

Huiyi didn't even dare to imagine what terrifying things someone with a favorability rating of 150 could do...

However, the subsequent reward package temporarily alleviated the fear of not knowing the level of favorability.

[Golden Skill - Trick or treat!]

[Attribute Increase: Stamina: F]

【Trick or treat! · Red】: When in the lead during the middle of the race, if the horse behind becomes agitated, reduce its stamina and increase your own speed.

Huiyi was speechless. Improving endurance is a good thing, but does Red Skill 1 Mountain Noon Qi Jiu 6 (3) Two Skirts Chat mean that they want to train her to be a racehorse girl who uses the red form from the start of the competition?

Besides, where does this red skill come from? In Huiyi's limited knowledge of horse racing girls... it seems there is no such red skill. With a doubtful mind, she clicked on the source of the skill.

【Rice Bath MakeupVampire!】

Oh, Halloween Rice's awakened skill, huh? No wonder I didn't remember it; I didn't even get it, haha. Huiyi slapped the system screen away, opened her eyes, and sat up.
