Uma Musume, Master of Love

As she swayed past the pitying glances of the other female horses on the road, Huiyi remained expressionless until she arrived at the training ground. As she swayed across the accessible path, Huiyi saw that blue shadow flash across the track and suddenly felt a little itchy in her feet. It was a pity that she couldn't run with Cisario right now.
"Huiyi—! How are you feeling now? How's your recovery going?" Rhine Power trotted over and pushed Huiyi to the central open space, since the speed at which she was shaking her hand could easily cause her to be bumped into by other horse girls on the track.
Huiyi picked up the drink from the wheelchair and took a sip: "It's alright, I can resume training in a couple of days. Next, I'll be attending the Yasuda Memorial."
"Hmm... Hmm...? Yasuda Kinen-kun—! Huiyi, can your body really handle participating in this competition?!" Rhine Power thought Huiyi would say that he would participate in the Autumn Flower Award and win an unprecedented triple crown, but Huiyi himself said that he would also have to participate in a fight with the senior students of the Ancient Horse Year in the middle?!
Isn't this a decision that NHK came up with on a whim after running around like crazy?! But Yasuda Kinen didn't specify that it was a Year of the Horse limited race!
“Of course. I’m not your average racehorse girl.” Huiyi said, reaching out to touch her earring.
Is the cuckoo bird a person?
是 的
is it?
Oh yes, yes
Oh no no
Chapter 188 A Tribute to the Legendary Resilient Kitahara
"Nase-senpai, in this situation, should I try to persuade Huiyi or what...?" Kitahara's migraine flared up again in the trainer's meeting room. He had been busy with Huiyi's affairs for the past few months, and it was getting worse.
After listening to Kitahara's explanation, Naze Eito picked up his teacup and took a sip: "At times like this, you should choose to trust your racehorse girl. Racehorse girls know their bodies better than anyone else. They know very well when they should run and when they shouldn't run even if they want to."
“The red line for every racehorse girl is very simple. The only time they will cross this red line is after the gates open. Kitahara, you must remember this.” Naze Eito had actually retired long ago. This time, he came to Central Teresa for Fumino. She had some other things to do recently, so she asked Eito to help take care of the Great Shock for a few days.
Hideto Naze had heard of Kitahara, the trainer of the four-game winning streak that made him famous last year. In his opinion, Kitahara was also a trainer with great potential, but he was questioned by horse girls because he did not have any actual results in the Central region.
Kitahara certainly understood what Nase Eito was trying to convey, but she always felt that these principles did not apply to Shining White Horse. Unlike other racehorse girls, she always liked to use some unexpected moves, so it was impossible to look at her with the same eyes one would use to look at a normal racehorse girl.
"Of course, if you ask me... what trainers should do is unconditionally trust the racehorse girls. They don't lie most of the time. And when they do lie, you can easily analyze it from their ears, tails, eyes, and so on."
Kitahara nodded thoughtfully. Perhaps her protective instincts were too strong, so when something happened to Huiyi, she would want to protect him. It seems that it is Kitahara herself who needs to grow.
“I understand. What I lack now is trust in Huiyi at the last minute. Since she has chosen to participate in the Yasuda Memorial... then I will register her!”
Kitahara might face criticism or cyberbullying after the competition announcement, but having experienced so much, she has developed a high level of immunity to it. At worst, she will simply stop using the internet this month!
As Naze Eito watched Kitahara leave the meeting room with his eyes clearing, a smile curved at the corners of his sharp eyes. It seemed that the new trainers recruited by the central command had also grown up.
"Trainer—! Why didn't you tell me you were going back to Treson!" Qingzhu recalled that after receiving the inside information from Representative Qianming, she rushed over and practically kicked open the conference room door. Back then, after retiring from the competition, she suddenly learned that Naise Eito was going to retire, and she left Treson before she even had time to go and confirm the news with him.
Now that they've caught him in person, Qingzhu will definitely give him a good dressing down!
Naze Eito looked at the clumsy Aotake and smiled faintly: "There are some things to take care of at home, and I've also reached the age where I should retire."
"Okay, I've thought it through... URA's registration website, Yasuda Commemorative is open for registration soon."
In the training room at night, Kitahara still chose to stay here and sit in front of the computer, with a bottle of coffee drink to keep her awake beside her. After opening the webpage, she stared blankly in front of Yasuda Memorial's logo, feeling that she had been influenced by Huiyi recently, but it seemed to be a good thing.
Kitahara had already found the answer with Naze Eito, so she had already thought about how to cope with the pressure when she made her choice. Participating in 3G1 in the first half of the classic period was an unprecedented feat. Kitahara was the decision-maker, and she believed in Huiyi.
After filling out the registration information late at night and pressing enter to send it, Kitahara threw the empty bottle into the trash can, stretched his body in the chair, and his bones made a crisp sound. Tokyo Racecourse would not reject this registration application. Next, Kitahara would have to think about how to release the news of his participation in the Yasuda Memorial.
There will definitely be hype surrounding the Tokyo Racecourse. Kitahara already feels the pressure on his shoulders is enough to make him fall onto a lamppost and have his head ripped off. His head is a bit pointy, and he has a completely bewildered feeling.
Thinking this through, Kitahara began editing the message. She decided it was best for her to say it herself; using Huiyi's account would likely have a greater impact…
The first thing Huiyi did after getting out of bed the next day was to remove the bandages from her feet. After applying medicine for so long, the skin on her feet had turned orange-yellow. She wobbled as she walked into the bathroom and spent a while washing off the color.
“As expected, sitting in a wheelchair for too long makes it harder to walk. I should play 12M less in the future…” Huiyi stood on the ground, swung his toes, and jumped a few times. Then he went to Da Zhenhan’s bedside, reached out and pinched the other’s nose. Half a minute later, Da Zhenhan, who looked like an apple, suddenly woke up and rubbed his face haphazardly after seeing Huiyi in front of him.
"What... I'm so sleepy..."
“I already told you you don’t need to come with me. I need to help you adjust your schedule. If you have any problems with the derby in a couple of days, you won’t have anyone to complain to the three goddesses.” Huiyi skillfully took out a stunning outfit from the closet and tossed it to him. Then, before leaving, he said, “I’m going to the restaurant first. Just meet me at the usual place. I’ll order the same set meal as before.”
"Uh-huh..." Da Zhenhan slowly got dressed, plugged her phone, which had been turned off the night before and had been forgotten to be charged, into a power bank and put it in her pocket. Just as she left the dormitory building, her phone was turned on. She saw the news push notification and was about to swipe away, but when she saw Huiyi's name, she decided to read the headline.
NHK's "Winning Two-Crown Horse Girl Shining White Horse Confirmed to Participate in the Yasuda Memorial Race in June - Hong Kong Horse King Elite"
Rubbing her eyes, she was sure she hadn't misread it. Considering that Huiyi had previously mentioned her thoughts about Yasuda's memorial, she wasn't too surprised. However, upon further reflection, she opened the comments section. Actually, what she was more concerned about was whether Kitahara's family was still alive...
Huh? NHK is seriously going to follow up the match with Yasuda Kinen, a game featuring a fight between Koma-senpai? How did this trainer even pass the central assessment? Was it a nepotism case?!
I suggest letting Kitahara Jones test what happens with this kind of schedule connection; it's just reckless! A Brilliant Star in his prime is going to face off against a veteran of the original series, as well as the Hong Kong Horse Racing Masters… It's not that I don't believe in Brilliant Star's ability, but given that he was already injured after the NHK race, participating in the Yasuda Kinen race would make him even more vulnerable to injury!
This post has been blocked.
Da Zhen swallowed hard. Sure enough, only a minority of people were discussing the outcome of the competition. Most people were actually more concerned about Huiyi's health.
The afternoon was finally free from college activities.
Cuckoo bird is so sad
Woo woo
Chapter 189 Answer me! Do you want to see me win?
In the restaurant, noticing Da Shen's absent-mindedness, Huiyi picked up a whole radish and poked it into her face: "Still preoccupied while eating? Did you see that I'm really going to attend the Yasuda Memorial? Didn't I already warn you?"
“Hmm, it’s not about that… Actually, I’m not surprised that you’re participating in the competition, but I think you should also make a statement, otherwise there are voices on the internet questioning Trainer Kitahara. You should have seen that, right?” Da Zhenzhen took the radish from Kitahara’s hand and bit it in half.
Huiyi shook his head honestly: "No, I only saw the official announcement this morning. Beiyuan posted it last night. I haven't checked the comments section yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat after I read it."
After finishing her meal, Huiyi took the tableware to the recycling station and opened the comments section on her phone. Half a minute later, her expression froze on her face, but she didn't get too angry. She could have foreseen this kind of thing happening when she decided to participate in the competition, so all Huiyi had to do now was edit a message and send it out on her account.
The content is quite simple. Facing the formidable elite masters from the Hong Kong team, as well as the equally formidable Ox-Style Fortune, the Japanese team doesn't have much confidence in this year's Yasuda Kinen tournament. The previous results of Tosho Kaigen, Senriyuki, and the Yamato captain haven't been great. Tosho Kaigen's shocking upset in the OP tournament has led to low popularity in this event.
Especially considering that Yamato's captain suffered a crushing defeat in the last Emperor's Slam Autumn Tournament with 17 moves... It seems that the Hong Kong team has a higher probability of winning against Yasuda Kinen, but if Shining White Horse participates, that probability will change.
“Deep, actually, the fans really want to see me win against Yasuda Kinen and successfully defend my title. But the injury I sustained at the NHK Mile makes them very worried. They're afraid that if they support me to the end but then get injured after the match and can't participate in the Autumn Tournament, they'll be seen as sinners.” Huiyi was well aware of the fans' psychology. She started editing a message on her phone. What she was going to do now was to appeal to some of the selfish desires buried deep in their hearts, and she was sure that the effect would be fantastic.
Da Zhenzhen lay on the table, saying, "I also want to see you win, but I don't want you to participate."
"It's normal... Hmm, it's edited, take a look! The situation will be one-sided in just one day." With a flick of his finger, Huiyi sent the message out, and hundreds of thousands of fans received a notification ringtone on their phones.
[It seems everyone's reaction to my participation in the Yasuda Kinen is quite strong. Let's put the schedule aside for now. Do you want to see me participate in the Yasuda Kinen? Do you want to see me successfully defend my title against the Elite Masters at the Yasuda Kinen? Even the senior from the Year of the Horse isn't invincible against classic racehorses. I know everyone is worried about my health, but I can assure you I've recovered very well and am in excellent form. So…]
I want you to answer me: Do you want to see me win?
It seemed like something Huiyi wouldn't say, but unusually, not a single comment appeared in the comment section for several minutes. Everyone was conflicted and hesitant. If someone sent the first message and Huiyi was really injured on the field, then that person would be a sinner for all time.
The first person to comment, "I want to," left a single word below.
Like a pebble thrown into a pond, creating ripples, comments sprang up like mushrooms after rain after someone started, and they were all unanimously expressing a desire to see more.
"See? That's just how people are. Don't worry about it~ I'll take care of Yasuda Memorial. Once you win the derby, we'll start planning where to go for summer vacation~" Huiyi leaned forward on the table, holding hands with Da Zhenhan and their hands clasped together.
"I want to go to France with Guangzuan, what about you?" Huiyi said, and Da Zhen's ears suddenly perked up. Going abroad for summer vacation...
When talking about the French Grand Prix, the first thing that comes to mind is the Arc de Triomphe. There's no way around it; this race is too special in the eyes of Japanese horse racing enthusiasts. Having not won the Arc de Triomphe for decades, they naturally care a lot about it.
Huiyi seemed to have thought of something and explained before Da Zhensheng could ask the question: "Of course it's not because of the Arc de Triomphe. I don't want to participate in that competition either. It's just that I feel like I've lived for so long and haven't had a proper chance to go out and have fun. It's a bit of a pity."
“My two kids happen to be interested in France, so I thought I'd take advantage of the summer vacation to travel and relax. As for the training for the Autumn Flower Awards, we can talk about it when we get back to the academy. So I was wondering if you'd like to come along?” Huiyi knew that Da Zhenhan was going to attend the Arc de Triomphe Awards, so she was sure Da Zhenhan wouldn't refuse her invitation to go to France in advance.
"Hmm... let's talk about it after the derby. My parents might not agree to me going abroad or anything." Although Da Zhenhan's answer was a bit vague, she actually really wanted to travel abroad with Huiyi... but the thought of going out alone with the Satomi family felt a bit strange, so she decided to think about it for now.
Huiyi kept tugging at Da Zhensheng's fingers: "Okay, there's no rush anyway. The visa can be processed in a month. We can go to France and see what the Longchamp Racecourse is like, although it might be rainy all summer... who knows."
Huiyi has a firm grasp on psychology, and she'll definitely agree to the big surprise. For these girls with zero dating experience, the idea of traveling abroad, especially to romantic France, is a surefire way to win them over. Right now, she's just hesitating pointlessly.
The two lingered in the restaurant for a while before returning to the training room. Kitahara, who had just received the competition notice and was filling out the paper documents, was eating a chocolate bar. She didn't have time to greet Huiyi when he arrived. She had seen the message earlier and understood that Huiyi was trying to relieve her pressure, even though he seemed to be making a big deal out of it.
"Yasuda Memorial's entry application is complete. We should see your popularity ranking this afternoon. Come and sign it. By the way, could you buy me lunch? I haven't eaten for two days." Kitahara yawned wearily and pushed the documents over. Before Huiyi could answer, she fell asleep on the table.
"Uh... You fell asleep so quickly, you must be tired... Trainer." Huiyi sighed softly, took someone's coat from the back of the sofa and draped it over Beiyuan, then took the document, signed his name, and put it back in the file bag.
Then Huiyi grabbed Da Zhenhan and pulled her out: "Come on, let's go for a run~ You have to tell me how to run a middle-distance race~ Qiuhua Appreciation is a middle-distance race, I don't want to lose."
"Ah... um... it should be similar to the Satsuki Prize, right...?" Daisho was also a little doubtful, after all, this was her first time teaching other horse girls how to run...
But since it's Huiyi, she'll definitely learn it!
Dazed... Dazed...
Yes, I won!
I won!
Chapter 190 The Logistics Mom's Temper
Compared to mile races, middle-distance races require higher endurance. In preparation for the Sakura Sho and NHK Mile races, Kitahara had not specifically trained or tested Kaguya's endurance. Therefore, the prerequisite for Daishin to teach Kaguya was that she could run 2000 meters.
It just needs to be completed within a relatively reasonable time... In previous years, the Qiuhua Award races have taken about two minutes, but now, looking at Huiyi's barely two-minute and ten-second time to run two kilometers, putting aside the time... Huiyi's ability to run two kilometers in under two minutes and twenty seconds is already a huge improvement.
"It's probably because you haven't rested well yet. Once you've rested, you should be able to shorten your time to within two minutes and five seconds, which would prove that you can run the 2000-meter race. However, the 2200-meter race is still in doubt..." Da Zhenhan wrote this information in Huiyi's team notebook, presumably to provide Beiyuan Future with some reference when setting tasks.
Having just finished her race, Huiyi was panting heavily. The horse girl lay on the grass in a "wood" shape, not even thinking of rolling around: "Ah... that's how it is... then it proves that I can compete for the Autumn Flower Award! An unprecedented triple crown, I will become the number one racehorse girl in history."
"Yes, of course! Huiyi can definitely do it!"
"And you...! Deep! We must make Japan remember this year forever. This is the year when an undefeated triple crown appeared simultaneously and the first undefeated triple crown appeared in history... Unprecedented and unparalleled!" Huiyi was a little excited when he thought of that scene. He sat up straight and twisted his waist from side to side.
She not only wants to become a triple crown winner, but also a racehorse girl who wins at least five G1 races in a classic year, reaching a peak that no one else can reach!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Huiyi screamed like a banshee. Her foot was being held in the hands of the newly radiant radiance, and the other party was pressing the pressure points on her foot with his knuckles. Each forceful press twisted Huiyi's expression to an unbearable degree.
Shining Radiance said in a very reproachful tone, "Bear with the pain! Who told you not to stretch after running? I've told you so many times that you must stretch after exercising, but you still don't listen, especially this time you even ran two kilometers! You've only just recovered! There's still so much time before the Autumn Blossom Festival, and the focus right now is the Yasuda Memorial, you shouldn't be testing yourself with two kilometers!"
The support staff usually don't get angry, but if they do, their nagging can be so intense that the entire training room will behave. For example, Da Zhenhan, who was just peeking out to read, is now using the table as cover to lie on the floor and read. She was the one who suggested the 2000-meter run…
Kitahara stood side by side with Naze Fumino, facing the window, each holding a warm cup of coffee and looking at something.
Little Chestnut Hat was obediently throwing the snack wrappers on the table into the trash bag before going out to throw out the trash with Sunday Tranquility. No one could help Huiyi... Oh right, there was also Little Bay, but Little Bay was busy in the kitchen and had no time to care about Huiyi. But even if she had time, Little Bay would probably be nagging Huiyi with New Radiance.
"Waaaaah, Radiant Sister, I was wrong, I really remember it—! I'll never forget it again!!" Huiyi understood that the new Radiant Sister was doing it entirely for her own good and that this massage technique was indeed effective, but... but the process was just too torturous!
In the past, perhaps Huiyi's exercise habits as a human being prevented her from having the idea of relaxing after exercise, but now, after undergoing a brand-new and radiant bone setting, she will remember it for a lifetime... a lifetime!
Shining Radiance released Brilliant's foot and sighed softly: "Just remember that. I'm really afraid that you'll develop a hidden ailment because of this. You have to understand that most of the time, racehorse girls leave the racetrack with regret because of hidden ailments caused by carelessness and negligence... I don't want to see you like that."
Before Radiant Glow, she had only assisted Little Chestnut Hat, but she had witnessed too many tragedies caused by negligence... New Radiant Glow absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen in her hands, otherwise she would feel guilty for the rest of her life and die in depression.
"I understand... Don't worry, Glorious Sister, I will definitely take good care of my body. I can win a lot of races and become the world's number one racehorse girl! At least until I achieve this goal, I will definitely not let myself have any problems!" Glorious patted her chest and made such a promise, but after patting it a few more times, she found that the feeling was a little wrong, but... put that aside for now, Glorious New can be considered to have gotten away with it.
Seeing Huiyi's attitude, Zhanxin Guanghui shook her head and went to the side to maintain the training equipment as usual. However, she was a little dazed when she saw the shoes on Huiyi's final outfit. After the NHK match, the horseshoes on her shoes were also covered with cracks. It was too unlikely that this situation would occur twice in a row and it was a quality problem. Zhanxin Guanghui couldn't help but think of another possibility.
That is because the explosive power of the brilliance was very strong, and the horseshoe could not withstand such pressure and cracked in an instant.
"But... does a racehorse girl really have the power to crush horseshoes? Even Oguri has never done that..." Shining Radiance picked up the shoe, turned it over, and ran her fingers along the empty groove. Perhaps she should customize a stronger horseshoe for Radiance...?
Alice was in high spirits. Her research had recently found more evidence in the URA International Archives. Alice had never forgotten the Pegasus girl who called herself Pegasus in her dream. In her understanding, dreams were not nothingness, but rather the result of certain wavelengths that current science could not explain affecting the brain. If someone could influence these wavelengths, they could naturally control dreams.
In ancient Greek texts, Suzum finally found more records about Pegasus. Pegasus did exist for thousands of years longer than the three goddesses, making her an older deity. But why did her faith not survive?
This is the question that attracts Alice the most right now, so she is also guessing that all the horse girls nowadays have a hidden Pegasus gene in their bodies...!
"It seems the breakthrough lies with Huiyi the guinea pig... Gods wouldn't be so bored as to pay attention to an ordinary racehorse girl, unless she has a connection with a god, and a rather close one at that...!" Suzi copied the information to a USB drive for later use, and left the chair with a light smile. Perhaps she should find a way to get a single hair from Huiyi... and one with the follicle intact.
The end of scientific development is theology, and the existence of God must also conform to science. If we can find a gene in Huiyi that is different from that of Ma Niang, it might prove that the bloodline of Pegasus does indeed exist.
After all... right now, the only recognized bloodlines of the horse girl are Godolphin Arab, Dali Arab, and Baye Turkish?
The cuckoo bird's lunch delivery is lost.
Lost!!!
[A sharp, explosive sound]
Chapter 191 Divine Blood Seed
"Tea House, this is absolutely a discovery that could shock the world. A bloodline independent of the Three Goddesses, and even older and more ancient than the Three Goddesses, and... of higher quality!" It is perfectly reasonable for Alice to say this as a scientist. The current evidence cannot prove any close connection between Radiance and Pegasus.
However, judging from the rational perspective of the horse girl and her intuition, Eliseko thinks that Pegasus and Huiyi should be close friends within three generations... But why Huiyi appears in modern society is something that needs to be studied slowly.
But Alice was still very happy. The most difficult step in scientific research is from 0 to 1. Once you have 1, everything will be easier.
Manchester Tea House held a cat-shaped coffee cup, gently blowing on it to warm it up. Its bright golden eyes looked at Suko with an indescribable emotion: "Your research direction has changed a bit too much lately. The other horse girls were praising your medicine for being effective, and then you suddenly switched to studying Greek theology."
Chaza has been feeling a bit lonely lately. Her best friend often runs away from home, sometimes for the whole day, only to return in the evening. Chaza can't talk to her, so she doesn't know where her friend goes... If it were Alice... maybe she could figure out a way to communicate with her friend? That way, Chaza could talk to her friend more.
"No, no, no, so-called theology is just that ancient people recorded events that they couldn't explain back then, and over a long period of history, it became theology. Back then, they didn't have the concept of science, right?" Suko squinted. A qualified scholar should accept anything that appears in the world and then approach it to study it.
Now she has a suitable prototype... Perhaps she can start by comparing Pegasus and Radiance as recorded in ancient books to find some commonalities?
"Teahouse! Please buy me food for the next few days. I might not be able to leave the house for a week or even two!" After saying that, Suko buried herself in the computer and began giving orders to the teahouse, who was already annoyed.
She had no doubt that if she left for a week, Su Zi would starve to death... Well, although that was a bit of an exaggeration, Su Zi would eventually crawl out to beg for food if she was starving, so she couldn't possibly starve to death, right? At the very least, there were so many books in the lab that Su Zi could read, so she wouldn't die.
Finally, the tea table shook her head and left the laboratory. She wondered when she might remember to bring Su Zi another meal.
Huiyi left Treson before Da Zhenhan went to Tokyo Racecourse to prepare for the race and went to Tokyo Daijingu Shrine again. She didn't know how the horse girl who had asked for her fortune had gotten her contact information, but she felt in her heart that she was more accurate in her fortune telling than Kobayashi Riki and Machigane Fukuro from the academy.
Back at Tokyo Daijingu Shrine, Huiyi followed the same procedure as before to get her fortune slip. However, she was a little surprised to find the stall closed. She called out to herself, but no one was there...
