A cute girl’s heart is capable of anything

...This child seems to be quite extraordinary.

Secretariat, who had only heard of her undefeated record in Neon Domestic since her debut, finally realized this fact.

"By the way, Secretariat, are you also here to participate in this year's 'Arc de Triomphe Award'?"

Qingzhu Fengya took a step forward, narrowed the distance between the two of them again, and asked expectantly.

"...Unfortunately, I have retired."

Secretariat, who was stared at by Qingzhu Fengya's dark eyes that looked like hanging stars, replied: "Now I am just an ordinary horse girl who came to Paris with my lover to watch this year's Arc de Triomphe. That’s all.”

"Eh...that's such a pity."

When Qingzhu Fengya heard what the secretariat said, his ears immediately drooped and his tone became low.

"It would be great if I could run a race with you, Secretariat..."

"If it's just a run, there's no problem."

After saying this, without waiting for the happy horse lady in front of her to speak, the secretariat immediately said: "It's just that I have retired for a long time. You wouldn't think of using the horse girl as an active horse girl." Are you competing with me, a horse girl who has been retired for many years, on the same stage?"

"Then... what do you want Secretariat?"

Seeing that the Secretariat had agreed, Qingzhu Fengya was eager to give it a try: "How can you agree to run on the track with me?"

"When do you plan to retire?"

Secretariat asked.

"The time to retire is coming."

Qingzhu Fengya said with a smile.

"It's coming soon... Do you plan to retire after the Arc de Triomphe is over?"

"Yes~?"

Qingzhu Fengya stretched out her right index finger and clicked it forward a few times in accordance with the rhythm of her words: "This year's Arc de Triomphe award is my retirement battle~?"

"That means that at the beginning of October this year, you will become an ordinary horse girl."

The Secretariat couldn't help but sigh: "Time... is such a cruel thing."

"In that case, let's wait until you retire and fulfill today's promise."

"Eh? Not now?"

The expression on Qingzhu Fengya's face became a little pitiful again.

"You should focus on the Arc de Triomphe reward now, right?"

Secretariat, who was not affected by the pitiful expression on Qingzhu Fengya's face, said: "And I have been retired for so many years, so my condition must have declined."

"It's better to wait until you retire and have a lot of free time. Then we can make an appointment to have a fun run somewhere."

"Well... although I'm very reluctant to part with it, since you said so, Secretariat, let's postpone it!"

Qingzhu Fengya looked down at the time: "Oh...it's already so late?"

"Sorry, I have to go~?"

"Do you need me to take you home?"

"No need, I remember the way here clearly!"

Qingzhu Fengya said with a smile and pointed at his head.

"I'm looking forward to our next encounter~?"

After saying this, Qingzhu Fengya turned and left.

"……strangeness."

Looking at Qingzhu's elegant back, Secretariat murmured to himself in confusion.

"how?"

When Qingzhu Fengya was getting along with Secretariat, the woman who had been hiding in the dark came to Secretariat: "Is there anything wrong with the child?"

"I didn't feel anything related to the 'realm' from her body."

"...No domain?"

Lucien Laurie was stunned when he heard what the Secretariat said.

"This is impossible."

After a brief daze, the former trainer lady said without hesitation.

... Qingzhu Fengya, who has won many battles and won in Neon, has not opened up the field?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

No matter what, it's impossible for Neon to be so lonely now that there isn't even a horse racing girl who can use the field, right?

"Unfortunately, this is an indisputable fact."

Seeing that the trainer was unwilling to believe the conclusion he had drawn, Secretariat pointed at himself: "And trainer, even though I have retired for a long time now, I was once a top player anyway. The racing girl."

"...I can't believe it."

Lucien Laurie said that this information was quite shocking to her: "A racing girl with no field competed with countless opponents at the beginning of her debut, and still maintained her undefeated legend?"

"Is the world crazy or am I crazy?"

"Perhaps there is some secret in that child that we don't know about."

The Secretariat said: "Perhaps... we can get a glimpse of it from her performance in the game."

"Trainer trainer, I'm back!"

Qingzhu Fengya, who returned to the hotel, happened to meet Nakayama Megumi who opened the room door and walked out, and got into Saito Asuka's room like a slippery loach.

"Oh, welcome back."

Saito Asuka, who was sitting in front of the computer, responded casually, and continued to type on the keyboard of the laptop in front of him without any pause.

"When I went out this time, I met a horse girl who took the initiative to say hello to me!"

Qingzhu Fengya's enthusiasm did not diminish, he came close to Saito Asuka who was working, and continued.

"Oh."

Asuka Saito hit the blank.

He took the initiative to say hello to her... I didn't expect that I could meet her fans just by asking her to go out.

Saito Asuka thought subconsciously.

"We have been chatting for a long time... This is the midnight snack I brought back for you trainers!"

"Oh, thanks."

Saito Asuka said while pressing a certain key on the keyboard.

"Yes, yes, we even exchanged names!"

"Oh? What's her name?"

The trainer at work asked casually.

"Um...Secretariat."

Qingzhu Fengya put her chin on her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and reported a name: "She said her name is Secretariat!"

"Oh, it's the Secretariat."

Saito Asuka nodded.

"...What did you say?!"

The next second, Saito Asuka reacted and turned around suddenly to look at the black-haired horse lady standing beside him: "Secretariat? Have you met the Secretariat?!"

"Well, yes."

Seeing Saito Asuka's overly intense reaction, Qingzhu Fengya blinked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"How...where did you meet her?"

"Where...I met her when I was buying these things to eat."

Qingzhu Fengya pointed at the food on the table and asked doubtfully: "Trainer, you haven't answered my question yet."

"Why are you so excited?"

"Does this still need to be said?"

Saito Asuka didn't hesitate: "...the name 'Secretariat' is enough to explain everything!"

"..."

After hearing this explanation that didn't look like an explanation, Qingzhu Fengya tilted his head, as if there was a question mark on the side of his head.

...What on earth is the trainer talking about?

"I think it would be better for you to talk to Fengya properly."

Nakayama Megumi, who closed the door, complained: "Does it look like she knows the secretariat?"

"...Sorry, I was too excited."

After being reminded by his lover, Saito Asuka, whose head had calmed down a little, sat back on the stool, and then reached out to pick up the tea cup at hand.

But after feeling empty, he realized that the water glass had been smashed to the ground by his violent action. Saito Asuka rubbed his eyebrows.

"...Did she say anything else to you?"

"Yep."

Qingzhu Fengya nodded: "...She made an appointment with me to find time to run a race with me after I retire."

"Bam—!"

"..."

Looking at Saito Asuka who didn't control his strength and fell directly to the floor, Qingzhu Fengya blinked.

…Did I just say something outrageous?

The black-haired horse girl thought in hindsight.

"Really?! Are you kidding me?!"

Saito Asuka asked excitedly as he got up from the ground.

"You want to run with her?!"

Asuka Saito, who was bombarded by explosive messages one after another, was about to turn into a world-famous painting.

"Calm down."

He gently patted Saito Asuka on the shoulder, and then smiled apologetically at the black-haired horse girl in front of him.

"Sorry, Asuka, he's too excited."

"Hmm... Is she strong in Secretariat?"

Seeing Saito Asuka's reaction, Qingzhu Fengya asked doubtfully.

"It's not a question of whether she's strong or not, she's that kind of..."

"Okay, okay, I know you're excited."

Nakayama Megumi, who poured a glass of water, put it into Saito Asuka's hand and blocked his mouth with it: "Calm down."

"Let me explain the next thing to Fengya."

"..."

Saito Asuka seemed to have something else to say, but in the end he still held the cup and drank it obediently.

"...The trainer seems to like her very much?"

"After all, Secretariat is Asuka's favorite horse girl."
