Uma Musume, Master of Love

Moreover, Huiyi isn't the only one undergoing swimming training this month; there's another well-known swimming novice in the academy who will be training with Huiyi.

"Ugh...! Treson isn't worth it!!!"

————I淋艺肆物揪飼就罢

Now that Huiyi had recovered, the swimming training session was scheduled for the next day. That night, when Huiyi returned to the dormitory, he complained to Da Zhenhan.

"Big Shock, look how inhuman my trainer is... He knows I can't swim! Waaaaah, I'm so sad~" Pretending to cry, Huiyi rested her head on Big Shock's lap. For now, Huiyi considered Big Shock a silent best friend, but Big Shock didn't see it that way...

Huiyi actually rested her head on my lap…! This was the sentence that kept echoing in her head.

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, my darlings!

Make dumplings, eat dumplings

Reunion dinner~

Chapter 94 Moon*Ripples, Yi Shirt, and (Nine) With a kick of her legs, she straightened up!

"Diving suit, oxygen tank, mask, fins. Hmm, all set! Big sister, I'll return it after this month~" Huiyi shouted to the manager, Ma Niang, after checking the equipment she wanted to borrow.

Miss Ma took off one earphone and replied, "Okay~ Don't break it, the academy's rule is to compensate ten times the damage."

The manager, Ms. Ma, was used to seeing people borrow diving equipment. Among all the women in Tresson, there were always some who were not good swimmers and would resort to the lazy idea of ​​borrowing diving equipment and then staying submerged in the water for swimming training.

However, such behavior is usually prohibited on the spot, and the equipment will be returned by the trainers in the afternoon. The administrator also thought the same way about Shining White Horse.

Huiyi, satisfied, carried his 60-pound diving equipment and hummed a cheerful tune as he walked along the main road into the swimming pool. Moreover, it was still early before the agreed time, so Huiyi had plenty of time to put on his diving suit and stay submerged in the water.

After all, two 12-liter gas cylinders would be enough to keep Huiyi suffocating in the swimming pool for two hours.

Click~ Huiyi, humming a cheerful tune, opened the locker room door after congratulating himself on the success of his genius plan, and then tossed his wetsuit into a corner.

After all, you have to take off your clothes before you can put on a wetsuit, so Huiyi just randomly picked a closet and opened it by pulling the handle.

"Waaaaah!!! I don't want to go swimming! Trainer, you've trespassed into the horse girl's changing room! Waaaaah!!" The tufted horse girl in the wardrobe was so frightened that she screamed before she could even see who opened the door. Huiyi, who opened the door, was also completely surprised that there was a tufted pig hiding inside, and was so frightened that she collapsed.

She was still kicking her short legs, leaning against the central table, clutching her heart and panting heavily, pointing at the stout horse and saying, "What are you doing hiding in here! And you were yelling randomly without any explanation, scaring me to death! Ha... Luckily, I don't have a heart problem, otherwise I would have kicked the bucket and gone to see my grandma!"

"Ah...ah? Not a trainer...oh, thank goodness...phew...I'm sorry! I lost my composure just now..." Diamond Baby finally relaxed, squeezed out of the wardrobe with difficulty, and sat on the stool to soothe her frightened little heart.

Huiyi also recovered from her shock. Why did this pig look so familiar...? Upon closer inspection, she realized it was none other than Diamond Qibao, the one Treson was known for having a barrel waist...

“You are…you, Senior Diamond Treasure…? Everything makes sense now.” Huiyi said, then took off his shoes and socks and threw them into the closet, then started tidying up on his own.

When Lingzuan Qibao saw Huiyi's wetsuit lying in the corner, she felt like she had met a kindred spirit. She stepped forward, grabbed Huiyi's arm, and asked, "So...so this unknown classmate also hates swimming!"

"Ah... it's not so much that I hate it, but that I just can't learn it... so many times I just kick my legs in the pool and disappear. That's why I thought of doing this. Senior Diamond Treasure, since you hate swimming, why don't you try this method?" Since they were all girls, Huiyi didn't hold back and took off her clothes directly.

After all, this is how we did it in the changing room at the beach during our previous company team building activities. Besides, what face do office workers have anyway?

"Wait...! Don't be so daring when changing clothes!" Diamond Treasure immediately covered her face and turned around before answering Huiyi's question, "Of course I've tried...! But there wasn't a wetsuit that fit my body... When I tried on the largest size wetsuit, I even stretched it so much that there was a hole in the buttonhole..."

Recalling that experience of losing money, Lingzuan Qibao bit her clothes fiercely: "I almost lost all the profits from running ten debut competitions..." The day she successfully debuted was the same day that Tani Mizuki Kotori won the Japanese derby.

The rustling sound of clothes being put on continued, and Huiyi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "So...so that's how it is...Senior Diamond Treasure, don't you ever think about losing weight or anything?"

"Hey... Mom always said that having more weight on your body is a sign of good fortune, so whatever. Anyway, what I'm thinking is that after I finish the last three autumn championships, I'll retire~" Diamond Baby is now a 3G1 racehorse girl. Originally, she just wanted to come to the sports school to get some experience and then go to university and find a job, but now it seems like a pleasant surprise.

"Hmm...? Retiring? What do you want to do after retiring, senior? And... my name is Huiyi Baiju." After putting on her equipment, Huiyi patted the gas cylinder, which made a loud thud, giving her a great sense of security.

"Should I choose to graduate, go to university, get a diploma, and then find a good job near my hometown?" Lingzuan Qibao only turned around after she finished dressing, looking worried.

"Huiyi... I remember now...! It's that genius rookie racer girl who won all three of her recent races! I'm so envious~ She debuted on her first try~"

Huiyi hadn't quite adjusted to her current attire yet. When she bent down to pick up the mask from the ground, she almost couldn't straighten up. When she heard her words, Huiyi smiled back, but before she could say anything, the dressing room door was suddenly opened.

"Qibao! So that's where you were hiding!" Fiery Steed grabbed Diamond Qibao's arm with lightning speed and pulled him out before Radiant Light could react.

All that remained was the pitiful cry of the Diamond Treasure: "I don't want to go—!!"

When they met again later at Diamond Treasure, the two were staring at each other in the pool.

-

"So you were just thrown down there?"

"Yeah, I was thrown off the shore without any mercy, like I was being murdered." Diamond Treasure, with a swimming ring around her waist, looked up at the ceiling with a lifeless expression.

Huiyi was just sitting peacefully at the bottom of the pool when he suddenly felt the water surface vibrate. As soon as he floated to the surface, he saw the Diamond Treasure slapping the water surface haphazardly.

Out of compassion, Huiyi paddled to the shore like a dog and threw the swimming ring over, thus saving Lingzuan Qibao's life.

"Haha... It's not bad to just float like this... Ouch!" Then, Huiyi suddenly felt his knee twitch, and then his whole leg stiffened.

It wasn't a rheumatism flare-up; although there was some pain, most of it actually came from the feedback of cramps.

Diamond Treasure also heard a gurgling sound. When its gaze returned from the ceiling to the water's surface, the white head was no longer visible. Looking down again, it saw a female horse sinking to the bottom.

"Whoa—!!! Arima-nii sank to the bottom!! Someone come quick!!" Qi Bao dared not dive down herself, otherwise there would be two drowning accidents...!

Bubbling and puffing, a few bubbles even floated up to the surface of the water.

----

Spring Festival is almost here! (The last part appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)

Today, my little bird received a red envelope, then its pocket tore and the contents fell into its clothes. When I pulled it out, it almost shredded.

Thankfully I held back, otherwise this year would have been a complete waste. [Just kidding]

Nowadays!

I need to take a day off! My family of sixteen is getting together.

Lively and joyful~

May you all have a blessed new year!

Chapter 95 She called me "Jiang" now; she really cares about me.

After sinking to the bottom of the pool once again, Huiyi developed a complete fear of swimming.

She then realized that it wasn't that she didn't want to learn to swim, but rather that she simply had no talent for it. She would easily get cramps if she stayed in the water for even a short time, which greatly distressed Huiyi, who was lying on a chair by the pool.

Because besides swimming, she didn't have any good ways to improve her endurance. Although jogging was an option, it was too time-consuming compared to swimming.

"Looks like I really should have told you you can't swim. Forcing you to go swimming before was a mistake." Zhou Ri Ningjing sat on a small stool next to her, looking just as worried as Bei Yuan. If she hadn't arrived in time and dove into the pool to save Huiyi, there would probably be a drowning horse girl in the water right now.

Huiyi shook his head slightly and said to Qi Yier, "I think there are ways to overcome this, but we haven't found them yet. If all else fails, having me doggy paddle in the water with a swimming ring like Senior Lingzuan Qibao would be a very good option."

Even so, Zhou Ri Ningjing understood that this kind of training was not very effective. The two fell into distressed thoughts. At this moment, Beiyuan came over with a hot water bottle in his hand and covered the area where Huiyi had just cramped.

Back when she was a trainer at Kasamatsu, she had never seen Oguri Hattori struggle with swimming so much. Turning to look at Diamondy Jewel, still floating in the pool, and Black Stripe in the waves, she was utterly shocked. She had never thought this horse girl was easy to manage…

Let's put this matter aside for now. Kitahara rubbed his temples and changed the subject, saying, "I reported the official account opening that we were discussing in the training room to the student council, and they've already replied. Guess what it is?"

"Hmm? Rudolf won't disagree, will he...? After all, he's a bit of a conservative, and it would be against the rules for me to get a live stream account..." Huiyi had considered various possibilities for her own ideas, but Kitahara's answer made her eyes light up.

"No, they agreed. So you can start preparing now, like official verification and the official announcement. The account name is optional; I think the Cuckoo Bird is quite unique." Beiyuan gave some operational advice, adding that he would find an operations manager later depending on the situation, or it would be good to have New Glory learn about this aspect.

By the time Huiyi's legs had almost fully recovered, it was already dark. Beiyuan and Zhou Rining originally wanted to take Huiyi away directly, but Huiyi refused, saying that she would go back to the dormitory with Da Zhenhan, so they left first.

Diamond Baby, who had been forcibly thrown into the pool by its trainer for an entire afternoon, finally came ashore. It immediately shook its body like a puppy and splashed water all around.

"Ouch... I'm about to drown... The trainer is a devil..." Diamond Treasure staggered over to Huiyi as if it had just learned to walk and sat down on the cold tile floor, complaining casually.

Huiyi turned his head and saw that Lingzuan Qibao's skin had been soaked for a long time. He immediately laughed and said, "You look like an ingredient that has been soaked and is ready to be cooked. But I admire you for being able to soak in the water for an entire afternoon."

"It's not that easy. I've already experienced all the happy things I can think of in my life twenty times over to get through this difficult time... But compared to me, you need to be more careful about swimming safety." Diamond Treasure was also terrified by the sinking of Radiant Light. If Zhou Rining hadn't arrived in time, the consequences might have been unimaginable.

"I just really dislike going into the water and swimming, it's not like I'd drown... but you're very likely to have an accident like this..." The concern for Huiyi was written all over his face. Although, thinking about it carefully, the other party had already won big prizes in G3 and G2 since his debut, and his achievements in G1 might even surpass the president's in the future...

But putting all that aside, Huiyi really did throw himself a lifebuoy just now, making it easy for him to get through the afternoon...!

So in the eyes of Diamond Treasure, Huiyi is already a considerate junior...! Moreover, if you get along well with Huiyi, you might be able to get his help with work in the future... So this is a win-win situation!

"Don't worry, even if I die, I'll either die comfortably in bed or fall to my death on the field. How could I possibly drown like that?" Huiyi held up a finger and waved it back and forth, grinning slightly. After all, he was already at this point, so of course he had to keep climbing, gaining more fame, and making more money...!

"No, you can't say 'death,' it's bad luck!"

The two chatted here and there until Diamond Treasure's trainer returned to the swimming pool and took Diamond Treasure away. Watching the trainer carry Diamond Treasure away with one hand, Huiyi couldn't help but gasp.

"Holy crap... Is this trainer a reincarnation of Superman...? He managed to retrieve Diamond Treasure so easily..." As she thought about it, Huiyi felt a chill run down her spine. Luckily, she didn't actually try to slack off like Diamond Treasure... otherwise, she would most likely have ended up like this.

What left Huiyi even more speechless was that Da Zhenchang was still swimming back in the water doing the butterfly stroke. If she remembered correctly, she had been swimming from the bottom of the water until now, right? What kind of endurance is this...? And then she did some quick calculations and Da Zhenchang hadn't even debuted yet!

"As expected, racehorses called crystals have an incredible side after becoming horse girls... I also want that kind of stamina, so I can participate in any competition..." Huiyi muttered to herself, and after seeing Da Shenchang turn back this time, she put her arms on the edge of the pool and pulled up her swimming goggles.

"Hoo-ha..." Actually, she was also very tired, but when she thought about how hard Huiyi had trained with her every day, a strong sense of determination to not lose to her arose, which is why she swam for so long.

"Deep-chan—! Do you still want to swim?" Huiyi shouted to Da Zhenhan, cupping her hands in front of her lips. When she pulled her leg, her lips twitched involuntarily; it still hurt.

When Da Zhensheng in the pool heard "Jiang," his ears perked up immediately. He struggled to sit up and asked, "Huh?! Huiyi... what's wrong?"

The word "great shock" is indeed quite impactful, but what's even more impactful is that Huiyi's voice wasn't as expansive as usual, but rather...

The tone was somewhat coquettish, and for a naive and simple-minded girl like Da Zhenhan, it was an absolute knockout, causing her brain to freeze for a moment.

She called me "Jiang"! Nobody else gets this kind of treatment!

It seems like she has feelings for me!

I never expected this... I never expected this...! Guka!!

I went to visit relatives at my maternal grandmother's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year!

I typed this with all my might, so please accept it!

(Yesterday morning, the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was helping my grandma set off firecrackers when one of them went off into the cuckoo's room and almost blew up the internet cable.)

(Luckily, I was one step ahead.)

Chapter 96: Favorability has reached 80.

"Aren't you going to rest? I've watched you swim here all afternoon. Aren't you tired? Swimming is physically demanding, especially with this kind of high intensity... I'm afraid you'll get cramps and sink to the bottom later." Huiyi said, blinking a few times.

After all, she had figured out exactly where the big shock was. For Huiyi, an old hand, to handle such an innocent racehorse girl was a piece of cake. She just needed a horse girl to carry her back to the dormitory!

She was so shocked by the care she received that her face flushed slightly, but this was masked by the blush from the exertion. She took a deep breath, pushed herself up with both arms, and left the pool, her long, black hair and the tips of her tail kicking up a string of water droplets.

Sitting by the pool, she squeezed out the water from her hair and tail, and replied, "It's...it's alright, today's training is over! Huiyi, are you going back to the dorm? I just saw you had a cramp...do you want me to carry you back?"

Although he was exhausted, Da Zhenhan felt that carrying a light horse girl back to the dormitory was no problem at all, since a short rest would be enough to restore his strength.

Huiyi seemed a little embarrassed, her feigned indifference perfectly executed: "I think I can still leave...! Besides, the Great Shock was quite tiring, I appreciate your kindness!"

"No problem...! We're roommates, it's only right that we help each other out. Let me carry you to change your clothes first?" Da Zhenhan shook his head and walked towards Huiyi. Just looking at him, Da Zhenhan's big head made Huiyi dizzy.

Why do I always get dizzy looking at car headlights wherever I go? Da Lei is truly the most evil thing in the world… Flat-chested is the only justice in the world! Huiyi chose to close her eyes and not look at that evil thing, but when Da Zhenhan walked up to her, a wicked thought arose in her mind…

She's already closed her eyes...isn't that a hint? If I don't give her a princess carry...I'll really regret it!

At this moment, a profound emotional intelligence suddenly dawned on me at an inopportune time.

If you're really excited, just do it!

Huiyi, with her eyes closed, was waiting for Da Zhenhan to tell her to lie on her back when she suddenly felt her knees and back touch a cold hand. Startled, she opened her eyes, but before she could even ask a question, Da Zhenhan picked her up in a princess carry.

Opening their eyes, their gazes met. In the shock of the eyes lay a certain unwavering resolve, Huiyi's speech system was also malfunctioning. His lips were half-open but he couldn't utter a sound. He just stood there, stunned, letting the other person hold him.

As he walked step by step toward the dressing room, Da Zhen's heart pounded. Huiyi's calves were so soft... they felt like flowing water when you pinched them. He couldn't imagine how such soft legs could generate such strong power. Moreover, the fragrance that never disappeared from her body was so strong that Da Zhen was completely confused.

She's so soft...she smells so good...

Held in this embrace, Huiyi's mind was filled only with the overwhelming sensation of Lei's soft touch, and both of them drifted into their own unique reverie...

They didn't even notice that they were getting closer and closer to the locker room door.

With her mind almost blank, Deep-chan unsurprisingly caused the two of them to bump into the locker room door, both clutching their heads and gasping for breath.

Huiyi, being carried in a princess carry in front, took the brunt of the physical damage, collapsing onto Da Zhenhan and groaning, "Ouch...it hurts..." Being sandwiched between Da Zhenhan and the door left Huiyi a bit bewildered.

She was starting to wonder if it was her fault, but then she realized that she was quite petite, and being in Da Zhenhan's arms shouldn't have obstructed her view... Logically, she should have been able to see the door! Why did Da Zhenhan bump into it like that?

From now on... I'll never let Da Zhenhan hug me again... This time it was crashing into a door... Maybe next time it'll be crashing into a semi-trailer on the main road.

But actually... does this accident really seem to be Huiyi's fault...?

【laugh】

"Ah!! I'm so sorry! I was distracted and didn't see the door! Huiyi, are you alright? Shall we go to the infirmary first?!" Da Zhen hurriedly helped Huiyi up, pushed open the door to the changing room, and only after sitting down did he notice the reddened forehead that Huiyi's head had bumped into.

"It's okay...it's okay, I'm strong. I'm worried about whether I hurt you by bumping into you, ouch." Huiyi said, his legs trembling as he stood in front of the wardrobe, opened the door, threw all the clothes out, and fell back into his seat.

The two awkwardly changed clothes back to back. After they were both dressed, Da Zhen was shocked to see Huiyi's still trembling legs. He scratched his cheek with one finger and said, "How about... I carry you? I promise that what happened earlier won't happen again!"

As he spoke, Da Zhenhan squatted down in front of Huiyi, his back to her. Huiyi hesitated. If it were just now, she would have readily climbed on him. But after being bumped, she was somewhat wary. However, her legs urged her on, and in the end, she climbed onto Da Zhenhan's back.
