The way Uma Musume looks at me is so scary!

After hearing the plan, Narita clapped his hands in admiration. Even Orihime, who had always been at odds with him, had to admit in her heart that this plan was much more reasonable than stepping on bread or blocking the door.

"Wow, that aura is amazing."

Looking at Narita Road clapping, Saint King Halo couldn't help but admire his own first-rate wisdom in his heart.

She first used a lot of food to win over Special Week and get her to tease the Golden Ship. She was used to being teased by the Golden Ship all day long, and she would definitely agree under the temptation of food.

Then, use the location information from Special Week's operation to attract Silent Suzuka's help, and promise to arrange a secluded corner for her and Special Week to deepen their relationship after the operation.

But that wasn't enough. The Holy King's Aura had even arranged a backup plan: if the two of them couldn't capture the golden ship, then the incredibly powerful Grasshopper would come to their aid. With her help, wouldn't the unsuspecting golden ship be captured on the spot?!

As for why Grasshopper wanted to help, and what price she would have to pay for it, the Holy King's Aura can only say that the relationships between the racehorse girls are very complicated, and it's hard to say.

The Holy King's Halo couldn't help but laugh at the thought of his flawless plan.

Furthermore, she had specifically told the three of them to let her know when they discovered Xiu Xingmeng. With the help of their reconnaissance skills, who were actually friends but no real followers, the Holy King's Aura would definitely give them a head start in subsequent actions where everyone had to rely on their own abilities.

"No, I can't laugh yet, I have to hold it in."

"I will be the ultimate winner after today's celebration."

"Let's end it here. We'll declare victory after today is over."

Looking at the Holy King's Halo standing on the podium, her face flushed from trying not to laugh, Narita and Ai-Orihime exchanged a glance, concluding that she was no longer a potential competitor.

Chapter 134 Late Summer

Xiu Xingmeng came to school today with the determination to seek the truth. The answer the Golden Ship gave her during this festival will determine how she will face her companions in this scripted world in the future.

If people feel a sense of familiarity with me simply because of some connection between the script world and the real world, then Xiu Xingmeng is willing to rebuild our friendship once again.

But if she inherits all the memories, Xiu Xingmeng will have to figure out how to withstand the heavy gazes of the racehorse girls, since she has never learned how to handle the complex interpersonal relationships between people.

Moreover, it was a heavy relationship that involved life and death. The only solution Xiu Xingmeng could think of now was to pretend she didn't know and slowly reveal it after time had cooled everyone's emotions.

It's impossible to just gather them all together and then raise your hand in front of everyone to loudly announce that you actually have memories of the script world.

That would make things uncontrollable, especially with those two super troublesome racehorse girls, Good Opera and Golden Master, who would definitely give Embroidery Dream unimaginable surprises.

At least for now, her main goal and energy should be to obtain the so-called Triple Crown Certificate, accumulate points, and then exchange them for Hope Gems to help her mother wake up from the hospital.

Let's put these complicated interpersonal relationships aside for a while.

While escaping is somewhat shameful, it is indeed quite effective.

But just as Xiu Xingmeng was determined to get to the bottom of things with Golden Ship, she was surprised to find that no racehorses seemed to be coming to see her today.

Aside from the opera that kept pestering her, the Holy King's aura had vanished.

It seems that the time before the festival will pass by uneventfully today.

In fact, Xiu Xingmeng felt somewhat fortunate about this. If everyone had inherited her memories, then their lack of contact with her now would likely be due to their focus on the festival or her own affairs.

From this perspective, their obsession with themselves may not actually be that deep.

If I accidentally reveal the truth in the future, it probably won't cause much of a stir... right?

Xiu Xingmeng really couldn't be sure; she could only hope that she wouldn't end up like that.

Otherwise, in that chaotic situation, her brain would definitely have shut down.

While Xiuxingmeng's mind was racing, time quickly passed and it was after school. The racehorse girls of Treson also came out of the classroom to begin the final preparations for the festival.

This celebration was a small event organized by the school to welcome the start of the fall competition. There is also a similar event in the spring. It is not a grand celebration, so most of it was actually organized and carried out by students.

Watching the red lanterns gradually light up under the eaves, Xiu Xingmeng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In the real world, summer was coming to an end, and autumn would arrive in a few days. During this summer, she worked part-time while training hard, and with the help of her neighbors and landlady, she barely managed to get into Central Teresa.

Compared to the second scenario world she had just experienced, the real Central Tereson was like a fairy tale, willing to give all the racehorse girls a chance. If she had been placed in the environment of the second scenario world, there would have been absolutely no chance of her being admitted to Central Tereson.

But unknowingly, she had already come quite a distance. If it were the current Xiuxing Dream, she would be confident that no matter how cruel the script world was, she would be able to enter Central Treisen and win at least one G1 championship.

Although not much time has passed in reality, Hidehoshi Yume has truly grown from an unknown racehorse girl who would vent her nervousness by banging on the wall before a race to the G1 racehorse girl who would not hesitate to risk her life for victory.

If we consider it in the context of the Holy King's halo...

Now, Embroidered Star Dream is a qualified first-class racehorse girl.

This summer, Xiu Xingmeng forged herself into a sword capable of tearing a championship from any opponent, just like the name the system gave to her domain—a truly demonic blade.

She did a lot this summer and doesn't regret devoting all her time and energy to running; it's a responsibility she has to bear and an obligation she has to fulfill.

Xiu Xingmeng just felt a little regretful, because in many animated films she had seen summers that were passionate and full of youthful energy. Although she and her friends had also spent a considerable amount of time in the world of the script, that was not summer after all.

She gazed at the sky ablaze with the colors of the sunset, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her.

But she can't stop now. Summer will come one day, but before that, she must fulfill her responsibilities.

The same applies now. We wait to meet the Golden Ship, determine our friends' attitudes, and then adjust our behavior in the real world based on their attitudes.

All of this was a concession she had to make in order to win the match.

No matter how euphemistically she puts it, Xiu Xingmeng's goal remains the same: she has no intention of getting involved in those complicated interpersonal relationships before winning the three crowns.

She felt that such emotions might make her weak.

She had already experienced this once in the second scenario world, where the difficulty of the mission increased dramatically because of those so-called emotions. Now that she knows her friends might inherit her memories, what reason does she have to continue to be willful?

She has to keep winning until she gets her third title.

Xiu Xingmeng closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She had made up her mind. After figuring out the status of her other companions through the Golden Ship, she would then dive into the next scenario mission.

The condition of her mother remains unknown, and even with Yongwu's help, there is no guarantee that it will not suddenly worsen. The chances of saving her mother are decreasing little by little as time goes by.

Xiu Xingmeng was unwilling to gamble on having enough time or on the effects of the Hope Gem; she only wanted to accumulate 100,000 points and the Three Crown Certificate in a short enough period of time.

Everything else can wait in the face of this.

Just then, she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling from behind her. Xiu Xingmeng turned around and saw a tall, white-haired racehorse girl.

The arrival was, of course, a golden ship.

"I've made my grand entrance!"

Looking at the vibrant golden ship, Xiu Xingmeng simply smiled and nodded.

Chapter 135 Undercurrents

This festival is not large in scale, and it certainly doesn't cover the entire school like previous large-scale events. Its scope roughly extends from the three goddess statues in the center of the school to the fan-shaped stage in the upper right corner of the school.

The racehorse girls sign up to perform on the outdoor fan-shaped stage in groups of classes or departments, while the route from the Three Goddess Statues to the stage is filled with all sorts of snacks and activities.

Looking at the red lanterns hanging on both sides of the shop, Xiu Xingmeng suddenly had the illusion that she was strolling through a large-scale festival.

"Look at me! Look at me!"

Just as Xiu Xingmeng was casually strolling through her mind, searching for an opportunity to ask questions, the Golden Ship suddenly started shouting loudly in front of her.

She suddenly bought an insect hero-shaped mask from somewhere and made a transformation gesture towards Xiu Xingmeng.

Wow, that's so cool.

Xiu Xingmeng responded expressionlessly. Although the size had increased a lot, she felt that the Golden Ship hadn't changed much since it was a child.

Golden Ship seemed oblivious to Xiu Xingmeng's disappointment. She ran excitedly to Xiu Xingmeng's side and, from who knows where, bought a string of candied apples and stuffed it into her hand.

"This is Ultra O. If you merge with it, you can become the Red Giant."

Seeing the golden ship suddenly become serious, Xiu Xingmeng took the apple candy and bit into it. The sweet and sour taste mixed with the hard texture exploded between her lips and teeth. She said as she bit into it.

"Ultraman O, nothing special."

She was so engrossed in playing on the golden boat that she didn't even have a chance to respond to Xiu Xingmeng. In the blink of an eye, she had run to the shop next door.

The horse racing girl, dressed as a Taoist priestess, held the golden boat in her hand, pondering as she spoke.

"Your pulse is strong and steady, a sign of good health and a long life!"

"However, I observe that your forehead is dark today, and there seems to be—"

Unexpectedly, her tried-and-true sales pitch failed to arouse the customer's curiosity. Golden Boat waved his hand to interrupt her, and said in a low voice with a somber face.

"Look at my appearance, do you think I can become the student council president of Treson Academy?"

"This, this, this -"

Seeing the brown-haired, yellow-robed racehorse girl rendered speechless by the Golden Boat, Xiu Xingmeng shook her head helplessly, pulled the Golden Boat out of the shop, and nodded to her, who was giving her a grateful look.

"Have you had enough fun? I have some things I'd like to discuss with you."

However, how could Xiu Xingmeng restrain the free-spirited Golden Ship? Before she could finish speaking, Golden Ship had already slipped away to another shop, and her excited voice drifted slowly through the air.

"No, I haven't had enough fun with the little golden boat yet!"

As she spoke, Xiu Xingmeng watched as she ran into a horse racing girl shop where a girl dressed as a shrine maiden was holding a crystal ball.

Xiuxing dreams of finding her and saving another racehorse girl's hobby.

However, the sudden surge of people blocked her view, and the endless stream of racehorses made it almost impossible for Xiu Xingmeng to move.

Meanwhile, the horse racer dressed as a priestess was intently looking at the crystal ball and speaking mysteriously to the guest.

"I sense a subtle fluctuation in your energy field today from the crystal ball. My guest, please be careful today..."

She looked up, about to urge the golden ship to leave the festival, but when she looked up, she found that the golden ship had already disappeared.

At this moment, Xiu Xingmeng finally managed to escape from the crowded throng and arrived at the fortune-telling shop.

Before the horse girl dressed as a priestess could even give a welcome, Xiu Xingmeng glanced around and, finding no golden ship in sight, immediately left.

Feeling disliked by two guests in a row, the racehorse girl rubbed her crystal ball and muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"Why did they all run away? Apprentice witches are witches too, aren't they all fortune tellers?!"

However, neither she nor Xiu Xingmeng noticed that in a corner far away from the shop, three horse racing girls were secretly watching everything that was happening.

"Yay! We finally caught the golden ship! She can run so fast, she wasn't even put in a sack until the festival had already started."

Saint King's Halo said excitedly in a low voice. She knew her backup plan was working. Grasshopper was indeed reliable. What they had tried so hard to achieve before, Grasshopper solved as soon as he arrived.

"Next, all we need to do is take the golden ship away and use it to lure the gold master to the opera house, and the plan will be complete."

Ai Mu Shi nodded expressionlessly, but her tone revealed a hint of excitement. She had thought the plan would fail again like the one with the bread, but unexpectedly, there was a twist.

She and the Holy King's Halo exchanged a glance, nodded in unison, and strode off in the predetermined direction.

Only Narita remained standing there, muttering to himself uncertainly.

"Huh? Why do we seem to be looking more and more like villains?!"

Little did they know that, like the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind, while the three were watching the golden ship and the Embroidered Star Dream, a group was secretly spying on them from behind.

"Are all the racehorses at Central Tresson this wild now?"

Having witnessed a kidnapping, Kotaro Haibara skillfully pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away the cold sweat that had broken out in his eyes from shock.

"Dad, you're well-prepared..."

Haibara Chizuru twitched her lips speechlessly. Perhaps it was a habit inherited from another world, but the old headmaster, who had long anticipated that he would burst into tears after seeing Xiuxing Meng today, had bought a handkerchief before coming.

"What do we say now? The racehorse girl who was with A-Meng before has been taken away, so we don't have to worry about bothering anyone anymore. Can we just go up and pretend to bump into A-Meng?!"

Xiyuan Mucao was carrying two bulging bags, seemingly eager to find Xiuxingmeng.

"Let's make this clear beforehand... If you happen to run into her, fine, but don't just throw those two watermelons at A-Meng."

Xiao Linfeng looked at the two large watermelons that Xiyuan Mucao had been carrying all the way and said with some helplessness.

Just as everyone was discussing how to get closer to Xiu Xingmeng, Nan Yejin suddenly stopped them.

She shook her head and said seriously.

"There's no way a huge group of people can rush in all at once; they have to come one by one."

After saying that, Minamino Sumire took the lead and was about to seize the first prize before everyone else. Oguri Roman also reacted. As the strongest horse girl present, she directly hugged Minamino Sumire's waist, making her unable to move.

"I won't let you succeed."

Seeing this, the other racehorses also tried to jump the gun, but were stopped by the others.

Seeing the students' disappointing behavior, the adults present silently rubbed their foreheads, lamenting that their own educational level still needed improvement.

Chapter 136 Hello

As mature adults, Haibara Chizuru and the others would certainly not participate in such a childish competition. In fact, for them, it was enough to know that Hideyuki existed and to see her again on the field. As for whether or not to re-establish contact in this world, they held an attitude of "it would be best if it were possible, but it wouldn't matter if it wasn't."

Looking at the horse racing girls making a ruckus, Haibara Chizuru watched them with a wry smile. She had just wanted to remind them that if they didn't hurry over, Xiuxingmeng might be invited away by someone else again, but when she glanced at everyone present, she suddenly felt a sense of unease.
