Uma Musume, Master of Love

Therefore, 80% of the photos in all the popular Uma Musume photobooks published so far have been provided by Aili Digital. There's no way around it, digital photos really do capture everyday life.

Although Dober had long heard of Digimon's obsession, she felt that Digimon's obsession with Glowing was no longer limited to ordinary horse girls... It felt like it had evolved into a kind of cult? Glowing White Horse Cult... Just thinking about it is strange, isn't it?!

Digital quickly explained, "No, no, no, I'll go to Miss Huiyi to get the authorization!! It will definitely be successful, so I also hope that Teacher Duobo can take on the choreography work! Don't you think our Ma Niang needs a dazzling light too?! A light that surpasses Rudolph's symbolism, a superstar idol who goes global!"

The digital camera became increasingly excited as it was being discussed. It then threw the camera directly into Dober's arms, rushed out the door, and, wanting to save time, jumped off the third floor. Dober quickly leaned over the railing and looked down, but all he saw was a human-shaped crater on the ground. The pink figure had already disappeared.

"This...is this the power of DD...Teacher Huiyi would never agree to this..." Dober looked at the camera in his hand, caught in a dilemma, but no matter what...he should wait for news from Digital and Huiyi first.

Chapter 179: Photos, Autographs, and Release!

When Digimon unleashed its DD power, no racehorse girl in the world could stop it. It believed that even if the three goddesses were reincarnated, they would only be defeated by it. Digimon used a speed even faster than the end of a race to rush to the training ground again, locked onto that white shadow, and directly leaped up.

"Teacher Huiyi, oh my god!!!!"

Huiyi had just taken a sip of her sports drink when a sharp, loud noise came from behind her and she was startled by the sensation of her legs being wrapped around. She sprayed the drink directly onto Zhou Ri Ningjing's head across from her. Looking down in alarm at the large pink dog, Huiyi tried to pull her legs away, but they wouldn't budge.

On Sunday, Ning Jing felt a cool sensation on her scalp and her long, black hair sticking together. Her lips twitched slightly. She vowed never to sit opposite Hui Yi again, knowing that nothing good would happen. This time she was sprayed with a drink; next time, would it be pepper spray?

"Y-you...you, Ali Digital?! Senior, what are you doing?!" Ali Digital slid to her knees in front of everyone, landing at the feet of a classic racehorse girl. Although it had happened before, it was still quite shocking to see it again.

The other female racehorses on the training field are already whispering among themselves.

Digital senior is at it again, though it's just a device. I also admire the brilliant classmate!

I joined the Huiyi Fan Club, a group of digital enthusiasts, a long time ago. There's an artist there whose artwork for Huiyi is absolutely amazing; I'm completely blown away!

Hey, pull me! Pull me!

Wait, the art style seems to be getting weird... But at this moment, Digital looked at Huiyi with shining eyes: "Huiyi, I have a favor to ask... Can we talk in private? Please, this concerns the lives of tens of thousands of people in our fan club...!"

Huh? The fan club has grown to tens of thousands of people, isn't that some kind of cult? If that's the case, then Rudolf's fan club must have several million people! Alice Digital's DD leader attribute is really terrifying when it comes to action. Although I don't know what Alice Digital is planning, I still took her to the training room, at least so that the other racehorse girls wouldn't see anything too bad.

"So what exactly does Digital Senior want me to do... I'll help as long as it's within my power." Huiyi handed Digital a bottle of cola. At this moment, Digital took out her phone, brought up the album Huiyi had marked, and showed it to her. Although all her photos were in the camera she gave to Dober, she still had some emergency photos on her phone.

Huiyi raised an eyebrow. Sure enough, this was something the digital company would do. But what was the purpose of showing him the photos? Was it a threat?

Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, Digital said, "I hope Huiyi will allow these photos to be made into a photo album—!"

"Huh? A photo album?" Huiyi was taken aback. She hadn't thought about a photo album yet. Had the digital company already collected all the materials? The question was, when exactly were the photos taken? And how many photos did they have? How much stock did DD have in his collection?

Although she had heard that Aili Digital was the source of 80% of the photos for Uma Musume photobooks, she was still a little dazed when it happened to her. After thinking for a while, Huiyi did not question when the digital photos were taken. She was just concerned about what Aili Digital wanted to do with her photobook. After all, the process was not important, the result was the key.

"I just want to ask... what does Digital Senior want to do?"

"Of course... it greatly expands Huiyi's influence. I think all the fans of Uma Musume in the world should be Huiyi's slaves! Doesn't Huiyi think that white hair is really super awesome?!" Digi covered his nose, and the bow on his head seemed to be swaying back and forth consciously, while he raised a thumb with one hand.

Huiyi rubbed his chin, suddenly thinking about the fan festival in a few days and his own booth... Perhaps these two ideas could be combined, maybe the effect would be 1+12? Thinking of this, Huiyi's inspiration suddenly came. A stage alone might not play a big role, but the presence of material would definitely make things twice as effective!

“It’s not impossible… but if we’re going to do it, I’ll need some help from the digital seniors, and time will be very tight, is that alright?” Huiyi asked, then took out his phone, dialed Gaofeng’s number, and placed it on the table. This was a simple three-person meeting.

Digital nodded excitedly: "Of course, of course! Huiyi, please feel free to make your request!"

"We need to expedite the process. The photobook needs to be printed and delivered to the booth before the fan festival. Also, is it okay if 60% of the proceeds from the photobook sales go to the foundation, and the remaining 40% goes to the digital seniors themselves?"

"No, no, no!! Digital has absolutely no interest in money! If Huiyi wants to do charity work, then all the income can be transferred to it. Of course, I can pay for the express delivery fee for the photobook myself. Everything Digital does is just to spread the culture of Uma Musume and the aspirations of fellow enthusiasts further! Is that all you ask for?" Digital's eyes lit up.

Although Gao Feng was a little confused at first, she understood Huiyi's meaning in just a few words. She wanted to hold an autograph session during the fan festival and to promote the foundation. Recently, Gao Feng had been discussing concert fundraising with Haisek, and now it was fan festival fundraising... This girl's initiative was much higher than Gao Feng had imagined.

However, Gao Feng was also glad that he had contacted the doll manufacturer a long time ago to make Huiyi dolls, and now he could mobilize a batch of them. Since that was the case, he could use them all for the fan festival.

After receiving the imperial decree, the digital device vanished like a pink flash. Huiyi said into the phone, "Miss Gao Feng should understand now, right?"

"Of course, your business acumen is also genius-like. No wonder you grew up in the family." Gao Feng praised this, but Hui Yi curled his lip. That's right, even after you've become a seasoned veteran in the workplace, you're still so sharp.

After finalizing the details of the doll with Gao Feng, Huiyi hung up. The sky gradually darkened. As expected, business negotiations are the most time-consuming. So Huiyi turned his attention to the table, where there was a stack of white paper and two pens.

After calling Ning Jing on Sunday to ask her to bring him dinner, Huiyi sat down at the table, pulled out a piece of paper, took out a pen, and wrote his name on the paper with a flourish.

"Hmm...no, it's still too slow." A signature is a unique handwriting style, and right now, Huiyi's handwriting is still too neat. She needs to work on her speed and writing stamina.

Otherwise, my wrists would definitely break from exhaustion on the day of the autograph session!

First edition photobook and first edition cherry blossom viewing doll are now available!

I've been adjusting my mindset lately...

Ugh—taking blood pressure medication [I checked, and it is high blood pressure]

Chapter 180 Wow, is my own father going to be my tour guide?

During Golden Week, Diamond and Crown reached an agreement to come back to Tresen to see how the amazing strategy is progressing and to bid farewell to the charming scenery as they enter Tresen Academy for further study.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror after changing into her Treson uniform at home, her complexion was noticeably different from before. She sighed softly, "Phew... I'll be studying at the same academy as my older sister from now on. I must keep up with her!"

Although Charming View knows that Glorious has an undefeated record and knows that it is a pipe dream for her to achieve the same, as a racehorse girl, she must have something to look forward to. Charming View's only hope for survival right now is Glorious!

The Satomi sisters, who had already tidied up the living room, were still fantasizing that their brother-in-law, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, had already reached the point where holding hands and kissing were commonplace. Just thinking about that situation made the two children's faces blush. Sure enough, this (two) long-term stroll is something that only adults can enjoy!

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we invite Xiao Bei this time? It seems like she has a longer holiday for the May Day Golden Week than we do, right?" Crown asked, feeling that the three horse girls were almost forming a small group.

Guangzuan shook his head and explained, "Xiao Bei was called away by her father and has been out of contact for four or five days. I don't know exactly what she went there to do, so let's go first!"

Once the enchanting scenery was complete, the two left together and took a chartered car to Central Teresen College.

The fan festival has been going on for several days now, and the fans are well aware of how popular Huiyi's autographed photobooks have been. From the very first day, many fans have chosen to camp outside the academy overnight just to snag a copy of the photobook. After all, Huiyi has announced that this edition will only be released in 700 copies per day during the fan festival, making it extremely precious!

“Uh… Little Diamond, don’t you think this situation looks a bit familiar?” Crown looked at the colorful tents and then looked at his colleague, Diamond, with a curious expression.

Feeling stared at like that, Guangzuan blushed and coughed lightly: "Ahem, how long ago was that... Sister, do you still remember? This was just my way of showing my love for my idol. Miss McQueen deserves my help, right?"

"Oh right, right~ In the future, will you do the same thing in the races that your sister participates in?" Crown couldn't help but laugh when she thought about how most racetracks would issue regulations overnight prohibiting anyone from staying overnight in the racetrack after such an incident. Sure enough, there was an absurd story behind every regulation, especially since the instigator was her own sister.

The three of them were slowly inching forward, carried by the crowd. Their first destination was the dazzling booth on the event street. Enrolling in the charming scene required a guardian's letter of introduction, and besides, they could use this name to stand on the stage later, at least they wouldn't be squeezed.

"Don't worry—we have a thousand copies today, and the dolls have been restocked!" Shining Radiance shouted through a megaphone, but to little avatar. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed. It turns out that fans can really be this obsessed. It seems that Oguri's retirement match back then was too conservative.

On Sunday, Ning Jing patted the newly radiant Huiyi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Huiyi's fans are generally very well-behaved. They were just a bit crowded, but we haven't seen any pushing or shoving in the past few days, right?"

“That’s true…” Xin Guanghui put down the megaphone, took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and then sat down to the side, watching Yi Hui, who was writing furiously at the autograph table. She must have written her name almost 100,000 times in the past few days. She wondered if she would still be able to recognize her name when she got back.

"Please... make way, we have an urgent matter... Um, Little Diamond, don't lose the enchanting scenery...!" Three children suddenly squeezed through the crowd. Huiyi, without even looking up, numbly took out another photo album, signed it, and handed it over.

"5500 yen per book, thank you for your patronage. Dolls are priced separately. Your support is the driving force for the progress of public welfare... Hmm? Wait, the crown diamond enchanting scenery?" Huiyi was a little surprised, but immediately pulled the three of them to the back and continued selling the photo books. She could only take a break to ask them.

Her eyes lit up at the sight of the captivating scenery. She looked around at the other people and pointed to the photo album, asking, "May I take a look at one...?"

Mejiro Takamine, who was sitting to the side, nodded without objection, while Misty Scenery took out a book from behind and became immersed in the world of Hakuba Musume.

As for the explanation, let the two young ladies handle that...

"Sis—we're here for the enrollment of Charming View! Charming View has been delayed for too long, hasn't it? It's already May!"

"Hmm? That's true... but I can't get away right now. I'll take you to find Rudolph once all the photos are signed today. Have you packed your luggage for the charming scenery? Don't forget to bring anything. You'll be staying at the academy after you finish the formalities today, okay?" Huiyi's ability to multitask is quite good, after all, that's how she spent her time when she was working in her previous life.

The group quietly watched as the mountain of photobooks rapidly descended. By noon, all the photobooks and dolls for the day were sold out. Huiyi shook his aching, swollen wrist, which was almost aggravated by tenosynovitis, and said, "I'm sorry everyone! We've sold out for today. Please come again tomorrow! Tomorrow is the last day of the fan festival, and we'll be adding more!"

Finally, Huiyi took a group photo with several fans, thus completing her task for the day. Before she could even have a sip of water and rest, Huiyi arrived at the student council office with captivating scenery, banged on the door, and stood in front of the desk, her arms trembling as she braced herself on the table.

"I'm sorry... President, it's only now that I'm here. It was delayed because of her biological father. I was supposed to come directly, but I was busy with my booth, so I'm even later now." Huiyi explained, a sense of fear creeping over her when she saw the pen on the table, but she still signed the documents under Rudolf's guidance.

Rudolf put away the documents, looked at the captivating scenery, and nodded in acknowledgment: "So, Captivating Scenery is now a racehorse maiden in the Treson freshman class, and also the last racehorse maiden to report for duty. She'll join the class after Golden Week. Take advantage of the holiday to get to know Treson Academy. Do you need me to arrange a racehorse maiden as a guide?"

"If it's possible... I'd be very grateful!" The charming scenery bowed in thanks, her joy at being able to study in Treson was palpable.

Rudolph looked at the list of teams in the academy and finally decided on the candidate: "SPICA happens to have some free time, so let Special Week show you around the academy. They happen to have experience guiding new students."

Chapter 181 Brother-in-law, you need to step up!

Before leaving, Rudolf praised Huiyi for her innovative idea. Huiyi exchanged a few pleasantries as was customary in the workplace, and then left with Meijing. After leaving, she looked at Meijing, who was wearing a Tresson uniform... and sighed softly as she looked up slightly.

"BV-chan, I didn't realize it had been so long. The freshman class takes several years, you know?"

But the captivating scenery didn't care about any of this. She was deeply aware that her hard work was for the sake of accumulating strength for the competition. And since she was running for money, she couldn't let herself slack off. She had to win first place in every competition and get the most prize money!

For the past six months, Charming View has been using her salary to pay off her debts. Satomi provides room and board and she doesn't have the habit of online shopping. Charming View has used 85% of her salary to pay off her debts and saved the rest for emergencies.

Moreover, most of the creditors were very kind. Seeing that she was such a young girl working so hard to pay off her debts, most of them offered to reduce the amount, but Mei Lijing politely declined. She wanted to protect her father's already limited reputation... Although it wasn't much, it was better than nothing. At least she wouldn't be burdened with the reputation of being the daughter of that gambling addict who hadn't paid off his debts in the future.

Taking a shortcut back to the training room, Nase's team of trainers also returned. With three more horse girls, the training room felt even more crowded, but Little Bay's eyes were shining. She had already built a good relationship with Crown and Diamond before, and now that she saw the children again, Little Bay couldn't contain herself.

"Ugh... I'm so tired! Huiyi, how have you managed these past few days? I can't take it anymore after writing it a few hundred times." Da Zhenhan looked exhausted and collapsed on the sofa. When she saw Guangzuan making a small hand gesture to her, she answered him. This was the secret code they had agreed on in the movie theater. She never expected to use it in the training room.

After seeing the gesture reply, Guangzuan's face turned very serious, and Crown next to him also became serious. It couldn't be that Da Zhenhan had made no progress in his love life or career since the end of the Spring Festival holiday without the help of the two of them, could it?

Then you're not just a hopeless romantic, you're a hopeless romantic loser!

But Kozumi, clearly more optimistic, said, "No... it's not certain yet. We can't assume my brother-in-law is that kind of horse girl, can we?"

Crown stroked her chin, recalling when they first devised the plan, and whispered, "But didn't we initially devise this love plan based on the assumption that my brother-in-law was a hopeless romantic? It seems that assumption is true now; she's maintained this kind of relationship with my sister—neither too close nor too distant!"

"..."

The two exchanged a glance and were suddenly amazed that such a powerful and amazing person as Ma Niang existed in the world. In the past six months, the relationship between young couples had either become closer, more distant, or broken up, but this was the first time they had seen something that remained unchanged.

When the other adults decided to cook in the training room and go out to buy groceries, leaving only the useless Da Zhenhan who couldn't cook and the three children who weren't suitable to go out in the training room, Guangzuan and Huangguan simultaneously clenched their fists and surrounded Da Zhenhan, their faces somewhat gloomy.

Crown first questioned the previous answer: "Brother-in-law, you must have been joking just now, right? What couple's relationship hasn't changed in six months, right?"

Perhaps sensing his life was threatened, Da Zhen's brain raced, and he replied, "No! Of course... of course there's been progress... what relationship wouldn't change in six months, right? Haha..."

She felt extremely guilty, partly because she might be too timid in matters of the heart and dared not make a move, but in another way she was very brave and dared to take the initiative to play the Pocky game with Huiyi... although she teased her quite a bit at the beginning.

Guangzuan's face brightened; progress was good, and they must have already made holding hands a regular occurrence!

Greatly shocked, he then remembered Huiyi sleepwalking into his bed and decided to protect himself thoroughly: "Also, we've already slept in the same bed... shh, don't talk nonsense!"

"!"

"!"

"?"

Crown and Diamond were shocked, while Charming View was puzzled. However, Charming View soon realized that this place was not suitable for her to stay, so she went to the kitchen to wash the kitchen utensils she would need later.

Crown and Diamond retracted their earlier slander and suspicion of Great Shock. They thought Great Shock was simply the best brother-in-law in the world, because he also had a chance to win the Undefeated Triple Crown this year, and marrying into the Satomi family would bring glory to the Satomi family~

The two kids thought more than Osamu Satomi.

When Huiyi returned to the training room with the groceries, Guangzuan and Huangguan rushed over and each took one side, putting them in the kitchen. Seeing the two kids being so attentive today, Huiyi felt they had ulterior motives... "Xiaoli, don't eat that?! That's dried carrot for cooking!!"

Before I could even connect my thoughts, I was interrupted by the crunching sound of Little Chestnut Hat chewing. The dried carrots that Huiyi had painstakingly picked out were already more than half gone by Little Chestnut Hat!

So, before Huiyi and Xiaohaiwan entered the kitchen, they stuck a "No Entry for Little Chestnut Hat" sticker on the door.

"By the way, brother-in-law, have you thought about what gift to give my sister for her birthday? Her birthday is June 1st, it's coming up soon!" Crown reminded him, causing Da Zhenhan to fall into deep thought. To be honest, after knowing Huiyi for so long, Da Zhenhan didn't know any special hobbies besides playing games... so choosing a gift should be easy, right?

She plays games on her laptop all the time, and I often hear her complaining about overheating and lag, so getting her a pre-built desktop PC for her birthday would be a great gift...? And...

All I could think of was Huiyi's beautiful white hair. I was so shocked that I even wanted to give her a ribbon to tie her hair back. But no matter how Huiyi dressed up, she would always be very beautiful!

"Um, Little Diamond. Sega makes games and hardware, right?" Da Zhenhan asked in a low voice. She didn't know much about electronics herself, so she could only ask the other party for help.

Guangzuan agreed, then exclaimed with great surprise and delight, "Then I'd like to order the absolute top-of-the-line PC from you, and do a DIY project using Huiyi's image, is that alright? I'll pay three times the market price!"

"Oh, I see~ Of course! I guarantee it will be delivered to you before your birthday. But please note that desktop computers consume more power than laptops in the dorm, so just be careful to avoid tripping the circuit breaker."

"Thank you so much!"

It seems my brother-in-law is teachable.

Chapter 182 Aren't the idol and the junior a perfect match?

When the fan festival during the May Day Golden Week ended, Huiyi's performance was simply phenomenal; even the most popular autograph sessions by idols would never be as popular as those held a few days ago.

At least for Hesek, who secretly left the agency and returned to Treson, he couldn't guarantee that his autograph session would be this lively. But in the end, this autograph session was probably entirely a charity event.

"Senior Haisek didn't come back this time just to praise my autograph session, did he? I don't have the same level of popularity as Senior Haisek at all." Huiyi was still quite reserved in front of this talented artist. After all, she hadn't been in a high position for very long. It would take her at least three to five years to develop this kind of composure.

Haisek first took out two bottles of imported Wahaha from his briefcase and placed them on the table. He handed one bottle to Huiyi and then opened it and took a couple of sips himself: "Try this first. The main reason I came here is to tell you that my concert is about to start. It will be right after the derby, which is the peak of the hype."

Huiyi stared at the bottle of Wahaha with surprise, old memories flooding back. She remembered that she had left half a bottle unfinished at her workstation before she was hit by the car, but she had completely forgotten about it in Ma Niang's world.

I wonder if that senior colleague who worked overtime until he went bald helped me get rid of it. It would be bad if it got so bloated on my desk that it exploded one day.

"Well then... you'd better save a few tickets for Haisek's concert, okay? I'm not confident I can beat Haisek's fans." Huiyi thought of the celebrity concerts he'd seen before; those people were the kind who could climb to the roof of the venue with their bare hands to eavesdrop. You can't look at those crazy fans with normal eyes...

Hesek chuckled upon hearing this, reaching out to pat Huiyi's head. "Of course~ But I'd prefer you to come in a different capacity." She winked playfully, then made a heart shape with her hands.

"Huh? What..." Huiyi's confusion lasted only a moment before she retreated in panic until her back hit the wall, her hands crossed over her chest: "Wait, Senior Hesek, you don't mean to make me go on stage too, do you? I refuse!!"

"Refusal invalid~~ I've already promoted you~ To be honest, little Huiyi, with your talent, you'd be great as an idol. You're a very rare white-haired beauty." Hesek made a camera shape with her fingers and smiled playfully, making it impossible to tell that she was actually a senior member of the Ma Niang group who had graduated from Teresa.

Huiyi's face paled, and her lips twitched slightly: "Senior Haisek, you're... acting first and asking questions later!!"

"You guessed it! Anyway, you won't be training or anything in this short period between the derby and the Yasuda Kinen concert, so come and join me for a concert!"

"How did you find out I was going to attend the Yasuda Memorial?" Huiyi was going numb. How come she had no secrets from Haisek? Although she could easily get the information from Kitahara by asking casually, the feeling of being seen through was really unpleasant!
