The socially anxious girl doesn't want to stick to me!

“Why do you say that?” Sky Jingu was a little puzzled, and then directly replied: “As a horse girl who hasn’t debuted yet, Narita-san is indeed very strong. At that time... my debut level should be a little worse than hers.”

"So that's it."

After Zhen Jiling understood this, he nodded to show that he understood.

It seems that it's not that Igarashi Sakuraba is weak, but Naritaji is too strong! That's right, after all, he is my roommate, who wouldn't be happy if my roommate is so great? I will definitely support the one who is closer to me.

But the Sky Palace did not stop and continued to narrate:

"However, Igarashi Sakuraba is the real freak! He didn't even use his own running method, but used the running method of the East China Sea Emperor to defeat him. How strong would Igarashi Sakuraba be? If he uses all his strength, he should be an absolute genius!"

She narrated with excitement.

"Ah." Zhen Jingli caught the key words, and even felt a little puzzled and puzzled: "Sakuraba-san... is he using the running method of the Emperor of the East China Sea?"

Did you hear wrongly?

There is actually such a horse racing girl?

how can that be possible.

Comforting himself like this, the Sky Palace responded directly: "Bingo~"

"You guessed it right! How about it, incredible, right? He used the running method of the Emperor of the East China Sea, not his own. So, I was thinking about how strong Igarashi Sakuraba would be if he gave his full strength. He should be super super strong..."

The rest of the words could not be heard.

Zhen Jiling's heart was filled with shock.

There is actually such a horse girl! ??? ???

The original contemptuous thoughts are no longer there.

All that was left in my heart was shock.

——It’s too strong!!!

PS: I'm late, so I'll write an extra thousand as compensation. There will be another update later.

And Across the Universe is really super super super good looking!!!

Chapter 37 Winner's Stage! ???

I finally managed to escape from the pursuit of Naritaji and the other horse girls - actually, they were chasing Congratulations.

But for Igarashi Sakuraba, it was definitely a pursuit.

real--

People with social anxiety will not like this kind of segment.

People were chasing me, congratulating me, cameras were flashing... the most unbearable thing was being the protagonist of the party, with the unbearable light shining on me. I didn't feel the joy of being famous, but only a sense of discomfort. I didn't know what to say.

An embarrassing batch.

I quickly passed it by...Now, run to a deserted side and have a rest.

Alive...

Igarashi Sakuraba thought so.

And now, what should I do? She pondered this, patted her head, and was suddenly immersed in a huge sense of nothingness, the sense of nothingness after pursuing a goal... along with the emptiness, the confusion of not knowing what to do.

And it seems like I forgot something and I can’t remember it.

Forget it.

Don’t think too much about it.

Putting his hands in his pockets slowly, after the competition, Igarashi Sakuraba was ready to leave here, leave this racecourse, return to Tresen College, go to his own little world, and enjoy it. Besides, here... maybe he will be surrounded and interviewed again, and he would rather die than be interviewed!!!

I feel a little resistant when I think about it.

Absolutely!

Igarashi Sakuraba took a step forward, ready to slip away.

But... I haven't even taken two steps yet.

Igarashi Sakuraba noticed again that it seemed like the person who was walking directly towards him, even the horse girl on the road showed respect, including the people who made way for her, and even the Emperor of the East China Sea followed the person behind her - wearing the uniform of Tresen Academy.

The highlighted white hair is particularly eye-catching among the brown hair, and there is a hint of dominance in the charming purple pupils.

——【Seven Crowned King, Emperor, Ludo Symbol】!!!

It’s just that Igarashi Sakuraba doesn’t know the other person.

Seeing the emperor approaching, he could only blink blankly. After realizing that he was coming towards him, he focused all his attention on him, completely unaware that the spotlights were shining towards him again.

"Hello."

The Ludo symbol said this after approaching.

He took the initiative to extend his hand and spread it out, sending a signal of goodwill - a signal that he was willing to shake hands.

Even though Igarashi Sakuraba was extremely reluctant and even her face fell, she could only shake hands with the other party and replied: "...Hello."

No.

Who are you?

What are you going to do now! Please stop torturing me... Although I guessed that the other party should be a powerful horse girl.

just.

Igarashi Sakuraba had never expected that he would be so powerful, and he also didn't respect him that much. Or maybe it was because his rhythm was interrupted... he didn't want to respect the other party at all! He just wanted to quickly pass it by to avoid being blocked for an interview again, and just wanted to run away quickly.

and so.

Seeing Igarashi Sakuraba in front of him, he didn't show any fear.

Luduo thought to himself that this was indeed an interesting little guy - in fact, the emperor himself treated everyone equally and with respect. However, because of his strong ability, popularity and aura, other people always consciously or unconsciously communicated with him with respect and admiration, which privately made him a little distressed.

The emperor didn't like this...even though she was called the emperor.

Seeing Igarashi Sakuraba who was not afraid of him.

It is inevitable that one will develop a love for talented people.

and also.

Igarashi Sakuraba... is she qualified to embark on the road to the Triple Crown? It's called a road, but it's actually a journey, the highest honor for all horse girls. Ludo opened his mouth slightly, wanting to directly invite her to participate in a series of outpost battles to prepare for the Gaoyue Award.

just.

Thinking about it.

But he didn't say it.

It turned into words of praise: "You are really strong. Is your name Igarashi Sakuraba? The East Sea Emperor mentioned you to me. From now on, I will remember your name well. Keep working hard. And... you even have the ability to learn the running method of the East Sea Emperor, then..."

No words were spoken.

So can you learn my running style?

——It’s a bit difficult.

After all, that is the step of an emperor who rules the world.

But Igarashi Sakuraba's focus was only on this guy coming over. Was he just going to say these meaningless words? Ahhhhhh! Let me go! — She had no idea that this was her father-in-law.

Some are too powerless to complain.

"Yes, yes!" The Emperor of the East Sea behind him also shouted: "I don't know when Sakuraba-san learned my running posture."

As soon as I heard this.

Igarashi Sakuraba's heart tightened.

……broken.

Are you here to settle accounts with me? I seem to have forgotten something. Yes, that's what I forgot. What would the Emperor of the East China Sea think when he saw me stealing her running style? He would be angry! I treated you as a sister, a good friend, and a brother...but you came to learn my running style.

what……

I don’t want to face the Emperor of the East China Sea.

I don't want to quarrel with the Emperor of the East China Sea or become enemies with him - I thought so with a little distress.

"As expected of Igarashi Sakuraba-san! She's really awesome!" she continued shouting.

then.

The smallest cloudiness today turned to clearness on Igarashi Sakuraba's face.

She smiled brightly.

And Luduo symbolically finished his clichéd compliments and decided to give her another observation period, wondering whether to help her step into the triple crown road. Now he just smiled, released kindness, and said meaningless words: "Well, have a good rest. There will be a winner's stage later, so take a rest first."

"…The winner's stage?"

Igarashi Sakuraba looked puzzled.

It was as if he had a puzzled look on his face as if he didn't quite understand what this thing was.

——I have absolutely no idea what it is.

Absolutely – no.

I don't even know what the winner's stage is.

"It's LIVE! The winner's stage!" The Emperor of the East Sea explained. She also looked puzzled. "What's wrong? Uma Musume is both a professional athlete and an idol! She needs to hold a winner's stage to celebrate her victory and give feedback to her fans."

——LIVE! ?

Now Igarashi Sakuraba understood!

No way.

No way...you have to go up and do the LIVE yourself, right?

She was completely stunned... She only had a glimmer of hope in her heart that she could go up and perform a LIVE. She couldn't do this even if she died! Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely!

Da-mah-dama ...

Even what comes after the symbol of Luduo and the Emperor of the East China Sea.

No one went to listen.

Just uttered weak words.

"...Da-Mei."

Igarashi Sakuraba's face was pale.

then--

Today's smallest partial change from sunny to cloudy happened again on Igarashi Sakuraba's face.

Chapter 38: The welcome escape

Separate from the Luduo symbol and the Emperor of the East China Sea.

Igarashi Sakuraba returned to the lounge again... However, she was still confused. She took out her phone and searched for the winner's stage. She wanted to see what it was - then, she raised her eyes with horror and disbelief, and quickly touched her cheek, as if she wanted to confirm whether she was really still alive.

It looks like that world famous painting.

——The Scream

It’s actually true——!!

There actually is such a thing as a winner's stage... and it's not just about giving a victory speech or some bullshit like that.

But...

Just as the Emperor of the East China Sea said.

The same concept as LIVE.

How do we explain LIVE? Literally, LIVE... a live concert. At that time, there will be many audiences sitting down, and Igarashi Sakuraba will walk onto the stage, stand in the first place, sing and dance, and fully demonstrate the meaning of the word "idol", exuding radiance and charm, because Uma Musume is not only a professional athlete, but also an idol.

The Emperor of the East China Sea was very curious.

——What will Igarashi Sakuraba’s winning stage look like?
