Uma Musume, Master of Love

"That's still much better than you!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

The two men pressed their foreheads together, locked in a fierce confrontation, their ears turned back, showing signs of an imminent fight.

At this moment, the chestnut-haired horse girl, who had been silent all along, reached out and separated the two: "They started arguing again without warning. It's so noisy that it's giving me a headache while I'm drinking my beverage..."

"Giant's Causeway, you're only saying that because you've never been kicked!" The astronomer sat back down with his arms crossed, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster's.

The giant, Long Causeway, looked up at the sky with a slightly flushed face and said, "I don't understand, because I've never fallen out of the top 2 in the competition, so I don't really understand your feelings."

"..."

The strange light and the astronomer exchanged glances. Sure enough, the one who deserved the most beating was the Giants Causeway... But... they still had to back down, since even the two of them combined might not be able to defeat the Giants Causeway.

With five wins in nine Game 1 matches and the remaining four finishing second, their strength is truly formidable...

"Forget it, I won't stoop to your level... This girl is a bit unreliable. She has a good foundation, but she can only run short English races now. She should have a lot in common with the Giants Causeway."

Upon catching the key words, Yue/Yi-Yi (Seven Y)s Tumor Yi Er Emu II Giant Long Causeway's eyes lit up: "Duan Ying? She's a racehorse girl from the Mile Racecourse?"

"That's true for now, but her next race is the 2000-meter Japanese domestic first-class race. What's up? Do you want to coach her?" The astronomer was just saying it casually, but noticing the expression on the giant's embankment, she suddenly felt that she had said something incredible.

"Give me the contact information."

Very straightforwardly, Giant Long Causeway opened his phone and waited for the astronomer to push Huiyi's friend card to him.

The astronomer's mouth gaped open in shock, and he leaned back slightly: "What are you doing? Trying to harass my student right off the bat?!"

“What do you mean, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine. As a racehorse proficient in miles and 2000 meters, do you think I can’t teach her? Or are you, astronomer, questioning my abilities?” Giant Longshore asked, beckoning her with his finger.

A strange light flickered between the two of them. How did the topic suddenly turn into teaching the younger generation? Who would fill the void of the scene where the astronomer and the giant causeway were fighting?

Then, the other two stared at the strange light. The person involved suddenly felt a pang in their heart, then hurriedly retreated to the corner of the wall to protect their chest: "Wait... what are you two trying to do? Let me tell you, this is a society governed by the rule of law in Britain. You should think about the consequences before you do anything..."

Before the strange light could finish speaking, the astronomer stuffed a large wad of tissue paper into its mouth, and then the giant Long Causeway and she lifted the strange light's head and legs together and carried it out.

"Uuuuuuuuuuu!!"

"What are you yelling for? Quiet down! Or I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish!" the astronomer said viciously. Since the Giant Causeway was going to join in, then the Strange Light wouldn't be able to escape either. If they were going to be kicked to death by Radiance, then they would go together. Sharing good fortune and bad times was the true meaning of their trio!

In the evening, Huiyi, wearing light pajamas, prepared dinner and had just set it on the table when the front door opened. She knew it was the astronomer returning and didn't pay much attention. But when she heard muffled groans, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking up, she saw the astronomer and another unfamiliar horse woman throwing a horse woman with a napkin stuffed in her mouth into the house. Her already not-so-bright mind went blank.

Is this a kidnapping? This must be a kidnapping, right?

"Phew, finally brought it back. You should eat less and exercise more from now on, you're going to turn into a fat pig." The astronomer clapped his hands, then squeezed his cheek, which glowed strangely, and a napkin came out.

"Cough cough, you and the Giant's Causeway are playing dirty tricks! Your coming here has nothing to do with me..." The strange light was about to retaliate, but it paused slightly when it saw the small white-haired figure standing at the kitchen door.

"...I think there is still some connection..."

Chapter 217 Deep: I have a feeling someone has designs on my wife...

The giant causeway and the astronomer both cast disdainful glances at the strange light. Some horse girls are just like that; they swear they'll never come, but then they can't resist when they see a pretty girl. Sigh, strange light, you're one of those horse girls who say one thing but mean another!

"You... astronomers? So... what's going on here?" Huiyi's hand, which was gripping her apron and wiping her hands, froze in mid-air. She knew the astronomers would come, but she didn't expect them to bring other unfamiliar horse girls with them.

Is this Neon 2 Bell Silk Jiuqi (3)%罒 planning to eat and take away...?

"Well, these two are my friends. Giants Causeway, six wins out of ten in the classic year, five of which were G1, and the remaining four G1 were all second place! Pretty strong, right? Moreover, Giants Causeway specializes in elite races and the 2000-meter track, so I think her experience will be more useful to you." The astronomer didn't waste any more words and directly presented Giants Causeway's actual achievements to convince Huiyi, since what he knew so far was that Huiyi was an absolute believer in facts.

No wonder... Among the three, only the astronomer is the weakest in terms of skill on the field and the least number of G1 championships.

"This is a strange light, my nemesis on the field. I crushed her in the King's Championship, and then she beat me in the Irish Championship." The astronomer shrugged as he said this, something that was hard to suppress a laugh. At least the Giants Causeway was trying to keep his smile to himself.

The strange light, which had just been released, got up from the ground, dusted off the dust it had brought along the way, and coughed lightly: "Ahem, although I can't compare to the Giants' Causeway, I still won five Game 1 matches."

Huiyi's gaze shifted back and forth between the three, but she couldn't discern any reliable signs. Instead, the subtle details between them made Huiyi feel that they were actually a comedic duo...

"So...?" she asked, putting down her apron.

"So I think the Giants Causeway is more suitable to teach you; she's the eternal goddess of miles and 2000 meters!"

When the astronomer uttered those words, he seemed to possess an extraordinary confidence, as if the glory were his own. Of course, at that moment, some of his attention was also focused on the dishes Huiyi was preparing in the kitchen. Although Huiyi's dishes might not be as visually appealing as those from street food stalls, the portions and taste were truly perfect...

Giant Longshore slapped his face with one hand and retorted, "Shut up, Astronomer... I want to point out that the situation in European mile races may be different from that in Japan. As we all know, European female horses are more wild, and intense competition can easily occur during the race. Also, the difference in the texture of European and Japanese turf can lead to differences in experience... You'll probably have to adapt to these things yourself."

"Of course, if you are willing to let me teach you, I will try my best to impart experience that is applicable to any competition."

Huiyi blinked. So, it really is possible for something as good as a pie to fall from the sky? The Lung Mist Astronomer went out hunting and brought back an SSR-level textbook... But having learned from past mistakes, Huiyi was naturally more cautious.

So she stared at the giant causeway and the strange light above her head for the first time in a long while. With a thought, she saw the current level of affection she received from the two horse girls above their heads.

[Giants' Causeway: 30, a laid-back racehorse girl who isn't interested in romance; her only pleasure is probably eating strawberry vanilla ice cream.]

Phew, thankfully, the teacher from Giants Causeway isn't too much of a threat. After all, if he really had some ulterior motives, based on past experience, his favorability rating would have already risen to over 50 by now.

When he turned his head and saw the strange light, the sense of security that Huiyi had just gained from the Giant's Causeway vanished instantly.

[Strange Light: 66, bro, is it reed? Or white? It's super pure! So whether it's reed or white doesn't matter anymore, what matters is that it's super pure!!]

The facts are clear: the most dangerous one was actually the least noticeable horse girl present, something Huiyi hadn't anticipated. However, it seems she's just a white-haired enthusiast, which is understandable; after all, some people are naturally drawn to white hair… Anyway, the strange light is useless to her, and the astronomers and the Giant Causeway can still learn some lessons from them…

The noise downstairs was so loud that it disturbed Da Zhen, who was catching up on her sleep on the second floor. She walked out of her room wearing a nightcap and was still wondering whether it was Guangzuan or Huangguan playing around on the first floor when she saw three uninvited guests with her Huiyi, talking about something.

Astronomers were greatly shocked by this discovery, but who were the other two people?!

Just as he was about to speak, perhaps realizing that what he was wearing on his head was somewhat inappropriate, he ripped off his hat and loudly asked from the second-floor railing, "Huiyi, have you checked the food in the kitchen?"

Asking them directly what they wanted would be impolite, so she decided to use this method to get Huiyi out of the way and put herself in this situation. Anyway, her overwhelming intuition told her that at least two of the three horse girls had a strange look in their eyes...

"Huh? Oh, right, I'll go check the kitchen first." Huiyi suddenly realized that she had originally wanted to check the astronomer's favorability rating, but when she thought about how the food she had worked so hard to make might burn to a crisp, she hurriedly returned to the kitchen.

Hurriedly returning to the kitchen, Da Zhen also came down from the second floor to the living room and stared at the three people: "Are these two friends of the astronomer?"

"Yes, this is Giant Long Beach, who has also been Huiyi's training coach for some time now... Her achievements in mileage and middle distance are far beyond my reach."

"The strange light is only slightly stronger than mine. Don't worry about it; it's just there to make up the numbers."

The Great Shock felt something was strange, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Giant Causeway seemed like a very casual horse girl, giving off an unpredictable vibe... Strange Light, on the other hand, was the kind of horse girl who was very ordinary, the kind that wouldn't stand out at first glance on the street.

Astronomers here have been labeled as pigs trying to steal cabbages, and they have to be wary of her no matter what they do...

Then an awkward silence fell over the group. At this moment, the astronomer grabbed the Giant's Causeway and the Strange Light and said, "Tonight we'll work on a trial training program, and tomorrow we'll have Radiant Light test its effectiveness! I'll leave Sea City Star and Van Gogh in your care. I'll stay with my two friends for the next few days!"

After saying that, she pulled the two of them away from the house, running all the way to the corner before sitting down on a bench under a streetlamp, panting.

"We just came out like this?" The giant leaned against a streetlamp and looked at the astronomer, who spread his hands with a helpless expression.

"Otherwise, if any of you are free in your dorms, I can go over tonight and we can make do, or the three of us can just go to the night market for a meal." The astronomer still didn't voice the shocking look he was getting at, like he was being slaughtered, perhaps because it had scared Ma Niang too much...

The astronomer felt it was making a mountain out of a molehill... All she did was buy a drink for the charming scenery at the beginning, right? Why was she treated like this? She had also bled and tried her best for Huiyi, okay? The fact that the slope running wasn't effective today was just because Huiyi herself had problems with her technique. She had taught her seriously!

Strange Light shook her head and refused: "No, my roommate needs to talk to me tonight. You two can play duo queue." Then Strange Light left, and the Astronomer looked at Giant's Causeway. She knew that Giant's Causeway's roommate had just graduated a couple of days ago, and the other bed in the dorm was empty.

"So?" The astronomer looked at her meaningfully.

Giant Longslope shook his head slightly: "Good luck to you. I just flipped up my roommate's bed to make room for storage, so you'll have to rely on yourself."

"..."

BYD, they really are all good friends.

----

At Huiyi's residence, Huiyi was chatting at the dining table as usual. He picked up a piece of brightly colored braised pork rib with his chopsticks and placed it in Da Zhenhan's bowl, then asked, "How come the astronomers left while I was turning around?"

"I don't know, he just left suddenly. He said he wouldn't be staying here for the next few days, so you can get some sleep now." Da Zhenhan shoveled rice into his mouth, his lips curving up and down as he gnawed on the ribs.

"Sigh... Brother-in-law's face..." Guangzuan covered his face with his bowl and whispered to Crown beside him. Now he was the third wheel in the family. He should hurry up and finish this meal and go back to his room to play games with Van Gogh.

Haidu Star, on the other hand, entered a state of complete concentration on eating. No noise at the table could disturb her determination to eat. In the end, Haidu Star was even faster than Guangzuan, who was in a hurry to finish eating, as she took her dishes to the kitchen to wash them and then returned to her room and closed the door tightly.

Da Zhenhan kept answering Huiyi's questions casually. She felt that sending those horse girls away was the right thing to do. Why was this godforsaken place, Europe, so dangerous?! She felt that if she ever let her guard down, Huiyi would be kidnapped by a carload of masked European horse girls and taken to some unknown, untraceable cave...

"By the way, I actually wanted to ask you something... how long are you going to stay in Europe?" Da Zhen asked, wanting to participate in the Kobe Shimbun Cup at the end of September before the Chrysanthemum Festival to maintain her form... so if Huiyi wanted to stay until after the Arc de Triomphe, then the two of them would definitely have to separate earlier.

Huiyi looked up, thought for a moment, and replied, "Shouldn't we watch the Arc de Triomphe? After watching the Arc de Triomphe, we can go back to China for the Autumn Flower Awards... It probably won't be a problem, right? We can maintain our form in Trésin, France before the competition. Besides, I still have two weeks to train after the Arc de Triomphe."

"That's it..."

"What's wrong? I remember the chrysanthemum viewing is later than the autumn flower viewing, right? Don't worry about the timing." Huiyi said as she tidied the table, carrying a stack of bowls and chopsticks. Da Zhenhan took some from her arms and followed her into the kitchen.

Huiyi stood on the bench, while Dazhen stood on the other side. The two tacitly agreed to each take a section of the sink.

After soaking the bowls and chopsticks in water, Da Zhenzhen said, "I want to go back early to participate in the Kobe Shimbun Cup, as a warm-up for the Chrysanthemum Festival... but that means you'll have to stay in Europe..."

"I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, I'm not a child, I won't lose myself, will I? It's good that you're participating in the Kobe Shimbun Cup. Achieving more wins and winning the undefeated triple crown will prove your strength even more!" Huiyi said as she spoke. She wasn't just staying here to watch a triumphant arch tournament, after all, her goal wasn't here.

On the same day as the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix, there were four G1 races: the 1000m Longchamp Church Grand Prix, the 4000m Gaden Grand Prix, and the 2100m Opera Grand Prix. Huiyi's attention was focused on the 1000m Longchamp Church Grand Prix, which was definitely in his comfort zone...!

“But Diamond and Crown will have to go back by then... I’m worried that you might have an accident after we leave…” The great shock was referring to horse girls like the astronomer. If Radiant were really taken away by horse girls like them… then there would be nowhere to cry.

Huiyi chuckled softly, "Don't worry, why are you so worried? I'll probably be alone in France by then. If all else fails, I can ask Mr. Naise in Greece to come with me."

There's been no news from Naze Eito lately, and Huiyi doesn't know if he's found some valuable information or if he's just settled down. She was clearly very interested in Naze Eito's topic... after all, it's related to her parents.

"Well... alright. I'll be leaving early in mid-September. Be careful while you're in Europe." After washing all the dishes in the sink, Da Zhenhan gave a few more words of advice with concern, then went back upstairs to continue sleeping.

Huiyi stayed in the living room scrolling through her phone. She wasn't surprised by Da Zhenhan's concern, after all, there were many white-haired horse girls in Europe. Huiyi also became wary of the strange light. She actually hoped that Da Zhenhan and Meijing would leave quickly, so that Huiyi wouldn't have to pay attention to the astronomer and Meijing.

Looking at Nase Eito on his friends page, Huiyi hesitated for a while before finally deleting a message. At the same time, he sent a message to Alice, hoping that someone with both academic and liberal arts skills would be able to get some useful information.

The first thing she received was news from Alice, whom she had least hope of receiving.

[Alice]: I'm still verifying my hypothesis. Although progress is slow, with your positive example, I think there's a problem with the path. Let's talk about the rest after you return to your country.

[Arisuko]: But I can tell you one thing for sure... As a special member of the horse girls, you need to maintain a good distance from the other horse girls. Special people are always attractive. You should be glad I don't have any physical desire for you, right?

"As expected, Alice and Souko have always been dangerous... but her intuition is truly terrifying." Huiyi stared blankly at the information for a while. She could question the normality of Souko as a horse girl, but she would never question any conclusion Souko drew.

In the world of Uma Musume Pretty Derby, questioning Hayate is going against the correct answer...!

Another half hour passed, and just as Huiyi was about to fall asleep on the sofa, Naise Hide finally replied to the message.

[Nase Eito]: I've arrived in England, but I don't have time yet. I'll visit you at Royal Trexon in mid-September. I'm currently tied up with some things.

Chapter 218 Pegasus is Real

France has always been a romantic country, according to The World of Horse Racing. The world generally perceives France as a country where the goddess's radiance shines upon the world, a world that is always filled with kindness and love. This explains the surprisingly good relationship between France and Britain.

Huiyi and her group stayed in England until the end of September. Da Zhenhan bought tickets to return to China with Guangzuan and Huangguan at the beginning of the month. She was preparing for the Kobe News Cup, while Guangzuan and Huangguan went to school for the start of the semester.

Actually, Huiyi and Da Zhenhan's stay in September already conflicted with Treson's school start time, but this was a minor issue that could be easily resolved by casually mentioning it to President Rudolf under the pretext of overseas training.

"It's so deserted now that everyone's gone... Time really flies."

Huiyi was now alone in the living room. Haidu Star and Fan Gaoer had been taken away by Haidu City a few days ago, which was a good thing for Huiyi, since she had indeed done her best to teach the two monsters all the experience she had gained...

She originally thought that her more than a year of competition experience would allow the two of them to digest the material in more than a month, but she never expected that Haidu Star would only need three days...! to completely master all the knowledge and perfectly replicate it. Although it took Van Gogh a little longer than Haidu Star, his final result was also impeccable...!

This incident also made Huiyi completely believe that the monster racer girls in Uma Musume, who possess both intelligence and physical prowess, really exist... But now she is all alone in the house, and it's time to consider going to France, as October 1st is the grand race day in France!

The Arc de Triomphe and the Longchamp Chapel Race... Huiyi had been imagining how the 1,000-meter racetrack in Europe would differ from that in Japan. The only thing she knew for sure was that Longchamp after the rainy season could not be considered a good racetrack in any way. The comment that it was all muddy after a single step was something she had heard from the female horsemen who had run on the Longchamp track. In a sense, it was as if someone was holding your foot and not allowing you to sprint.

Boom boom boom!

It wasn't the doorbell that rang. Huiyi, who was lying lazily on the sofa and almost asleep, immediately perked up. She hadn't heard a knock on the door for three months!

Huiyi tiptoed to the door, holding a stool in her hand. She gently placed it in front of the door, stepped on it, and looked through the peephole. She saw a man in a suit standing expressionlessly outside the door.

Click. After the door opened, Huiyi slid off the stool and patted his chest, which had been startled: "Mr. Naise...you scared me. I haven't heard any knocking since I came here."

"Was there a doorbell? I didn't see it, but that's not important. Have Daijin and the others gone back?" Although Naze Eito already knew from Fumino that Daijin had won the Kobe Shimbun Cup and started training for the Chrysanthemum Prize, he still felt he should check on the currently lonely Huiyi.

Huiyi rummaged through the TV cabinet and found the last two bottles of milk tea, pushing one towards Naise Eito while taking a sip herself. She replied, "Yeah, I've been back for several days. I watched the Kobe News Cup live too, they won so beautifully!"

But then she thought of the Kobe Shimbun Cup team, Sho Toyo, who also only got fifth place. Although she felt it was a bad omen, Huiyi couldn't help but laugh: "That chestnut-haired girl from Sho Toyo got fifth place... It seems like she's determined to beat the Great Shock..."

"It's a good thing that Uma Musume has a rival during her active career. I watched the Kobe Shimbun Cup live, and the fighting spirit of the Japanese is exceptionally strong. It's just that her physical condition doesn't support her burst of power right now." Nase Eito hesitated for a moment, but still unscrewed the cap and took a small sip.

The cloying sweetness of the milk tea made this perpetually expressionless man unconsciously furrow his brow. He really didn't like overly sweet things... So why did his wife and daughter like this stuff so much? Didn't they find it sickeningly sweet...?

Naze Eito always preferred efficiency and simplicity. When he arrived, he had already bought two Eurostar tickets to Paris, France. He glanced at his watch and said, "Let's pack our luggage first. We need to catch the Eurostar to Paris tonight."

"Hmm? So rushed... Luckily my visa hasn't expired yet. I had Da Zhenhan take most of my luggage back beforehand, so we can just leave this evening." Huiyi gulped down her milk tea and was just about to ask Naise Eito if she had any dietary restrictions when the doorbell rang. She knew without even guessing who it was...

Naise Eito leaned back on the sofa, holding a newspaper and looking at something. Huiyi remembered that it was a newspaper from two or three days ago. When the door was opened, the astronomer and the strange light were there.

"Surprise! We heard from Haidu Star that you're leaving England soon, so we thought we'd throw you a farewell party. How about it? Aren't you happy?"

"No, you're just giving me a fright." Even so, Huiyi still moved aside to let the two of them into the room.

The astronomer and the strange light were initially delighted, but when they saw the taciturn man sitting on the sofa, they instantly choked on their words.

Why is an old man suddenly appearing in Huiyi's house?! And he seems to know her quite well?! The astronomer's and the strange light's minds are working at high speed, but they still can't come up with any results... The only thing they can think of is that this man is Huiyi's trainer...

But! The astronomer remembered that the JRA's official report mentioned that Shining White Horse's trainer was a female horse named Kitahara Jones, a female horse! Not a male horse... Besides, the man in front of them didn't have any characteristics of a female horse!
