The way Uma Musume looks at me is so scary!

In terms of both teaching quality and training equipment, Central is far superior to Kasamatsu.

Not to mention, I heard that Kasamatsu's teachers are actually cooking for the students. There isn't even a proper cafeteria. How can they keep Uma Musume?

But just as the bigwigs of Central Treisen were confidently smiling as they watched Xiu Xingmeng stroll around the campus, praising her in their hearts and waiting for her to come to them on her own,

Xiu Xingmeng showed no sign of coming.

Even when visiting Central Tressen, he showed no surprise, as if he were already used to it.

How can this be? !

Don't they know Kasamatsu Tressen's situation? They don't even have a grassy track. Why did Xiuxingmeng remain so calm and composed after seeing the strength of the central team?!

Time passed slowly, and the smiles on the faces of the important figures were almost frozen. Seeing that Xiu Xingmeng was about to finish all the interviews and advertising shoots, they finally couldn't hold back and brought out their ultimate weapon against Xiu Xingmeng.

"what?"

This was Oguri Hattori's first reaction upon hearing the request, as he was enjoying a hearty meal in the cafeteria.

"what?"

This was Xiu Xingmeng's first reaction when she saw Xiao Limao holding a big bowl, eating while waving at her.

Xiu Xingmeng looked around somewhat blankly, confirming that she was not in the cafeteria but at the dormitory entrance.

She then looked at the giant rice bowl that almost completely covered Oguri's face, and the mountain of food, and said incredulously.

"Let's not even talk about why you came to find me while you were eating."

"How do they manage to walk such a huge pile of food through the cafeteria without it falling over?!"

Seeing Xiu Xingmeng's shock, Xiao Li puffed out her cheeks and gave her a thumbs up.

Then, with astonishing speed, she threw all the food, which was as high as a small mountain, into her mouth. As Xiu Xingmeng stared in disbelief, her stomach swelled at the same speed as the food disappeared from her hands.

Amidst this spectacle, Xiu Xingmeng was so shocked that she couldn't even estimate how much time had passed.

Watching Xiao Li Mao eat with such a rapid, dramatic pace, she even felt that the time just now had not exceeded a minute.

"It's awesome."

Little Chestnut Hat, having devoured all the food, patted her belly and gave Xiu Xingmeng a thumbs-up.

"Absolutely amazing."

Even though Xiao Li Mao didn't make any expression, Xiu Xing Meng inexplicably sensed that she seemed somewhat smug.

At this moment, the horse racing girls passing by the dormitory saw this scene and whispered to their companions.

"Wow, that's amazing! So that's Oguri Hat-senpai's signature move!"

"No wonder it's on Trexon's must-see list, it's truly extraordinary."

Xiu Xingmeng's horse ears twitched slightly, and after hearing the passing racehorse girl's words, she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

She vaguely remembered that the Holy King's Halo and her friend's self-introduction seemed to be on this so-called Trason must-see list.

Couldn't Central Treisen have included some other must-see things?!

Seemingly noticing Xiu Xingmeng's strange expression, Xiao Limao assumed that she felt her specialty wasn't impressive enough. After thinking for a moment, she said...

"Let me treat you to dinner."

Hearing Xiao Limao's words, Xiu Xingmeng was startled again. She looked at Xiao Limao's bulging belly in horror and said cautiously.

"I think you should rest for a while and digest your food."

Little Chestnut Hat tilted her head in confusion, seemingly wondering why Xiu Xingmeng would say such a thing. She pointed to her stomach and then said...

"It's okay, I'm not full yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, to Xiu Xingmeng's astonishment, her swollen belly shrank at an astonishing speed, returning to its previous size almost instantly.

"Are you Kirby from the Star Guardian?!"

So shocked was Xiu Xingmeng that she forgot to use the censored words she usually liked to use. She looked at Xiao Limao in disbelief and said.

"I'm Little Chestnut Hat."

Looking into Xiao Li Mao's innocent eyes, Xiu Xing Meng could only helplessly cover her face, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that Xiu Xingmeng didn't speak, Xiao Limao went up to her and poked her.

"I'll treat you to takoyaki. My friend makes it; it's delicious."

In fact, Xiu Xingmeng was already very interested in this legendary figure who also came from Kasamatsu and was the leader of the Generation of Miracles, Oguri Hat. However, she was stunned by his breathtaking skills and was speechless for a moment.

Hearing that Xiao Limao seemed to be really alright, Xiu Xingmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her hands from her face.

"Okay, I haven't had lunch either."

Upon hearing Xiu Xingmeng's agreement, Xiao Limao happily grabbed Xiu Xingmeng's hand and ran towards the school gate.

Xiu Xingmeng was stunned once again by Xiu Xingmeng's unexpectedly strong action. She could only manage to ask a question while being dragged along.

"Tell me where we want to eat first! Takoyaki can be found everywhere!"

Upon hearing this, Oguri Hat replied without turning his head.

"It's at the Tamamo Cross!"

Xiu Xingmeng nodded somewhat blankly, then immediately realized that the name sounded familiar.

Tamamo Cross? Tamamo Cross!

Chapter Ninety-Three: The Truth Revealed

Tamamo Cross, a very familiar name, represents a bleak morning for Xiuxingmeng when she had no breakfast and could only seek out the East Sea Emperor for honey water.

At that time, Xiu Xingmeng had already made a vow in her heart that if she were to find Tamamo Cross, she would make her watch her eat while she was hungry.

Unexpectedly, this opportunity has now become a possibility.

Upon hearing Xiao Limao's words, Xiu Xingmeng said no more. Her eyes blazed with fury, determined to catch the breakfast thief on the spot.

Soon, the two arrived at a quaint little shop by tram. After lifting the curtain in front of the shop, Xiu Xingmeng heard a very energetic voice.

"welcome!"

Then the voice seemed to have discovered something and hesitated for a moment.

"Hey... Xiao Li? The ingredients we prepared today might not be enough for you to eat your fill."

"It's okay, I've already had something to eat in the cafeteria."

"Oh, so you're here for snacks? Well, have a seat!"

Xiu Xingmeng looked in the direction of the voices talking to Xiao Limao.

She was discovered to be a petite racehorse girl with gray hair and blue eyes. She even looked shorter than the East Sea Emperor. You should know that the East Sea Emperor was already the petite racehorse girl that Xiu Xingmeng had ever seen. She never expected that there would be a racehorse girl shorter than the East Sea Emperor.

Could it be that she ate all the food in the cafeteria because she was malnourished as a child and finally got into Central Teresa, and couldn't suppress her craving for food, thus committing that sin?!

if it is like this……

Then I have no choice but to forgive her. After all, her height is already pitiful enough. Let her eat more.

"Hey, you racehorse girl over there. I know you, Xiu Xingmeng, right?!"

"Why did your gaze towards us change from shock to sudden realization, and finally even to pity?!"

Tamamo Cross twitched the corner of her mouth, wondering why Xiu Xingmeng's gaze was so full of emotion. She even saw something extremely impolite in her eyes.

"It's okay, I forgive you for finishing your meal in the cafeteria."

Xiu Xingmeng glanced at Tamamo Cross with pity, then sat down with Oguri Hat.

"Who can understand this kind of talk!"

"And when will we—"

Tamamo Cross was initially confused by Xiuxing Meng's words, but after fully understanding their meaning, she immediately turned her attention to Oguri Hat.

"Kuri! You're putting the blame on me again!"

"Didn't Xiaoyu say she'd call out your name if she ever went hungry?"

Looking at the bewildered and pitiful-looking Oguri-hat, Tamamo-no-Mae also deflated, and could only sigh helplessly.

"The 'mentioning my name' thing refers to when I'm not in the restaurant, of course. Why would you mention my name if you finished your meal somewhere else...?"

"Because Xiaoyu looked so confident at the time."

At this moment, Xiu Xingmeng, who was sitting to the side, finally pieced together the whole truth.

Oguri Hattori's terrifying appetite, Tamamo's cross-shaped words—all the evidence points to Oguri Hattori as the real culprit.

This name, which she had been hearing ever since she entered the script world, the monster who came from Kasamatsu to the Central Region and led the Generation of Miracles, was actually the culprit who caused Hideyuki to miss breakfast.

This series of coincidences left Xiu Xingmeng speechless for a moment.

She had no idea how to deal with the little chestnut hat later.

Should we chat with her about the changes in Kasamatsu Tressen, or talk about the horse girl named Oguri Roman in Kasamatsu who admires Oguri?

You can't exactly have an unrestricted fighting tournament with Oguri Hat right there, where the loser can only watch the winner eat takoyaki, can you?!

Just as Xiu Xingmeng was feeling lost, another sentence from Tamamo Cross, who noticed her strange expression, completely crushed her.

"Actually, the Central Treson Cafeteria has no limit on the amount of food. Oguri probably just finished eating the ingredients temporarily. New food will be delivered soon."

Hearing this, Xiu Xingmeng felt as if she had turned into pale ashes. She suddenly remembered that she had indeed roared "Tamamo Cross" and rushed out of the cafeteria as soon as she heard the cafeteria aunt say that there were no more ingredients.

I didn't hear anything else the cafeteria lady said to me.

If the aunt had actually reminded herself at that time—

"Then what about the two glasses of honey water I drank?"

Xiu Xingmeng muttered weakly to herself that she absolutely could not have swallowed those two cups of super-concentrated, sticky honey water if she hadn't been starving.

"So you do like sweets."

The girl next to her, Little Chestnut Hat, took a large plate of takoyaki from Tamamo Cross and said to Xiuxing Meng while chewing it heartily.

"Alright, let's not dwell on the past. Come on, try some of our takoyaki, it's delicious!"

Tamamo Cross also handed another large plate of takoyaki to Xiuxingmeng at the right time, patting her on the shoulder and saying comfortingly.

Xiu Xingmeng remained silent, only eating takoyaki.

She finally calmed down by turning her frustration into appetite and finishing off a whole plate of takoyaki.

Xiu Xingmeng wiped her mouth with a napkin and then spoke to Tamamo Cross.

"It's really delicious."

"But I still wonder, why did you open a takoyaki shop?"

After entering the script world, Xiu Xingmeng also learned about Tamamo Cross's career. As a horse racer from the countryside, just like Oguri Hat, they broke the rumor that horse racers couldn't run fast with their absolute achievements.

For a time, Tamamo Cross was the strongest racehorse girl in Central Treisen.

Why would she open a takoyaki shop after winning so many competitions and earning so much prize money?

Given the dominance of prestigious horse racing breeds, could there be some darker side to this?

Hearing Xiu Xingmeng's question, Tamamo Cross scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly and said...

"Because I like making takoyaki. Anyway, I don't have much to do after retiring, so I might as well open a takoyaki shop so I'll have something to do and I can feed Koguri whenever I want."

When takoyaki is mentioned, Tamamo Cross seems to get excited and starts listing them off at length.

"When it comes to takoyaki, the most authentic ones are definitely from the Kansai region."

"The takoyaki from Akashi doesn't even have sauce, and it's so small, it doesn't deserve to be called takoyaki at all!"

Completely bewildered, Xiu Xingmeng could only nod blankly. To be honest, she didn't really understand what Tamamo Cross was saying, but she did think that Tamamo Cross really liked takoyaki.

Just then, Xiao Li Mao finished her third plate of takoyaki. With her bulging belly, she turned around and said seriously to Xiu Xing Meng.

"We've finished eating, now we can get down to business."

Xiu Xingmeng glanced at her still bulging cheeks and big belly, thinking to herself how they could possibly have a proper conversation like this.

Chapter Ninety-Four: The So-Called Domain

After taking the tea offered by Tamamo Cross, Oguri Hat took a sip and then spoke seriously to Xiuxing Meng.
