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

"No rest." The Emperor of the East Sea shook his head, then cast a look and continued, "Walk a little, digest it, and then start training. By the way, is Sakuraba-san happy tonight?"

——Happy.

I am always happy when I am with you.

We had a really happy evening tonight. The part that is not descriptive is that the two of us ate from one end of the street to the other, eating all kinds of delicacies or junk food, without worrying about what we could eat and what we couldn't. We just kept eating and eating, eating together, and even our relationship became much closer. Igarashi-san became Sakuraba-san, and it was no longer so difficult for Igarashi Sakuraba to talk to him.

I can finally muster up the courage to chat.

Igarashi Sakuraba wanted to say this very much, but he held back and replied with a little smile: "Happy."

"Just be happy."

The Emperor of the East Sea nodded, and then, after exhaling, his expression became unusually serious, as if he had switched from a playful state back to a serious state. He clenched his fist, straightened it, and pointed at Igarashi Sakuraba: "I swear, I will defeat you, Sakuraba-san."

Although the channel jumps a bit fast.

However, Igarashi Sakuraba still took it up with a helpless look on his face, just like a frog following another frog jumping from one lotus leaf to another.

You really misunderstood about this.

In fact, she didn't know why the Emperor of the East China Sea would wishfully believe that he was stronger than her.

only……

It’s hard to say it now.

Maybe this is just a small lie... I have to make up for it with a bigger lie. However, now Igarashi Sakuraba often thinks of the figure of the East China Sea Emperor running on the track. She knows, knows her heart, that she is definitely looking forward to such a thing.

I also want to work hard to do it.

I don't want to live in fear every day because of social failure.

Igarashi Sakuraba also became serious.

She suppressed her timidity again, clenched her fist, and bumped fists with the Emperor of the East China Sea. A confident smile filled her face, as if she was in the right state: "Then you can give it a try."

but.

——I was stunned as soon as I finished speaking.

Give it a try? What do you mean? Have you just been possessed by a ghost? You will break if you touch it, so why give it a try?

What happened just now?

How could she unconsciously show a confident smile... No wonder the original owner could pretend, it would be strange if she couldn't pretend like this! Igarashi Sakuraba was about to start screaming like a groundhog in her heart again! Some urgency and anxiety were slowly born, just like Cinderella who lost her crystal shoes, she seemed to be back to that embarrassing situation again.

Or it could be said that she has always been in a difficult situation, but she just put on the crystal shoes.

...Absolutely not!

There is also some fighting spirit burning like a flame.

The Emperor of the East Sea looked at Igarashi Sakuraba, who became happy and confident when talking about running, and thought that he was indeed a genius like himself, and smiled: "I look forward to seeing you on the field."

"It is detected that the intimacy between the host and the Emperor of the East Sea has exceeded 20%! Reward [Flexible Bone]!"

"It is detected that the host has successfully completed the bonding with a horse girl, completing the stage mission, and the reward is [Reincarnation Chameleon]!!!"

Igarashi Sakuraba's pupils suddenly lit up.

……

Once again, I returned to the frosty Teresen Academy under the moonlight.

Igarashi Sakuraba was alone again. She walked slowly. The chill of early spring made the air she exhaled condense into white mist, and the close contact just now seemed to make the remaining warmth in her arms dispel the coldness.

The Emperor of the East China Sea did not stay overnight.

Go back for special training... Just like she said, even if I eat like that, I have to train and become stronger.

seriously.

It was as if she was radiating light, and this infectious energy infected Igarashi Sakuraba.

Let them know that they have to run, train, and become stronger. The best way to get out of trouble is to do it - I prayed for strength, so God gave me troubles to make me stronger.

then.

Return to the LOOK team's training ground.

It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening, and the racecourse was empty, allowing Igarashi Sakuraba to finally relax and carefully check the reward given to him by the system - he hadn't even looked at it yet, but the novice stage reward was really a pleasant surprise.

Think so.

Igarashi Sakuraba clicked on the light blue fluorescent screen, and to his surprise, some of his own data was recorded on it.

[Uma Musume: Igarashi Sakuraba]

[Speed: 198 (F+)]

[Endurance: 176 (F)]

[Strength: 186 (F+)]

【Root: 203 (E)】

[Wisdom: 231 (E)]

[Soft Bones LV.1]: "Derived from the Emperor of the East China Sea, the sharpest flexibility, the secret to controlling the body's center of gravity. Now, this power is being gradually stolen and utilized by you."

[Reincarnation·Chameleon (Golden Skill·Change at will·Sealed)]: "If you don't have a weapon, just copy and steal someone else's weapon!"

...Oh my god.

What kind of B data is this?

Strength, endurance, speed... none of them exceeded 200. On the contrary, the data of root and IQ, which were not important and did not affect the running speed, exceeded 200, which made Igarashi Sakuraba laugh. She now truly understood how weak her body was.

Second.

He set his sights on [Reincarnation Chameleon].

Staring silently.

--chameleon.

An animal can change its body color to hunt or avoid being eaten by natural enemies.

...if you are not armed.

Just copy and steal other people's weapons!

——How should I put it? With this sticker system, although it is hard to tell what it does right now, if you look further ahead, it has unlimited potential! It can be called a skill with MAX growth potential!

The system has paved the way for itself.

just now.

If I still want to avoid training.

This is really hard to understand.

The sparkling sparks burned in Igarashi Sakuraba's pupils again. She did not hesitate, but started training directly.

No more running away.

……

at the same time.

Someone walked in from the door of the training horse farm and saw Igarashi Sakuraba on the track from afar. He was delighted at first, but then, as if he noticed something, he frowned slightly.

...Why is it so slow?

Chapter 11 Igarashi Sakuraba...What a genius!

Someone walked in from outside the training ground.

The light illuminates the distinctive sweater and the shark teeth, these two features have already proved the identity of the visitor - the Sky Palace. How can this high-level horse girl sleep after losing to the Emperor of the East Sea during the day? How can she swallow that breath?

When your mind is empty.

What came to mind was the path to becoming stronger... not the peace of being able to fall asleep.

and so.

The Sky Temple also came to the training ground.

She wanted to train hard to become stronger, to make those few imperfections of hers perfect again - she didn't even tell him the wonderful postures, she just went out alone, ready to enjoy a moment of solitude, but unexpectedly, she ran into Igarashi Sakuraba who was training.

The Sky Shrine also recognized this horse girl.

After all, we just dealt with each other during the day.

Igarashi Sakuraba was running on the track - running clumsily.

Correct.

It's clumsy.

The impression given to the Sky Palace... is these two words. She originally thought that this genius was polishing his own weapon, unique and perfect, coupled with his hard work and diligence in training at 10 o'clock in the evening, so she stood there with interest, ready to observe carefully and see if there was anything she could absorb.

--only.

After watching Igarashi Sakuraba running carefully.

He frowned unconsciously.

what is this?

The Sky Palace couldn't help but think so, and there were also only four words in her mind.

——It’s too eye-catching! ???

The Sky Palace was simply shocked. Even though the distance was not close, the flaws were visible to the naked eye, overflowing... Maybe it couldn't be called a flaw. The skills used by Igarashi Sakuraba were too clumsy! It was like a novice stepping into the driver's seat and trying to drive the car. Obviously, a novice couldn't drive the car smoothly, just like Igarashi Sakuraba's running now. You only need to look at her to understand that she doesn't understand.

It's real...something that makes people understand it very clearly.

...Is this another genius in the Intermediate Department? ?

Did I recognize the wrong person? Or am I still asleep?

The Sky God Palace couldn't help but start to doubt herself - could her guess be correct? This shouldn't be the case. Even the Emperor of the East China Sea said that she was stronger than herself. What was going on?

Was it me who was wrong or was it the Emperor of the East China Sea who was wrong?

Seeing is believing...hearing is not.

The Emperor of the East China Sea probably has never seen Igarashi Sakuraba running.

Ok.

But - is Igarashi Sakuraba such a weak horse girl? Even I can easily defeat her, right? How can she be called a genius? Sky God frowned, and a hint of disappointment was born in his heart.

So what should I do?

I... should be the first person to know this secret. Should I make this secret public? No, no, no, I should keep it a secret for Igarashi Sakuraba. No matter what, she is a very good person - no, it's not okay to be a very good person. At least you can't lie to others and be a fraud, right?

Some thoughts are intertwined in disorder.

The Sky Shrine just shrugged its shoulders and ignored Igarashi Sakuraba. Finally, it took a look from afar and decided to leave, no longer caring about Igarashi Sakuraba's affairs - he was just a little confused inside.

Just this one look.

Let the Sky Palace realize that something is wrong.

……Um?

Why does this running posture look so familiar? It also looks a little awkward.

And... it's not just the running speed. This time, he is no longer as obviously clumsy as before. Instead, he can act more decently. Even his speed has increased a lot, although he is still a rookie.

A feeling of familiarity came over me.

…It’s like.

The one running was not Igarashi Sakuraba, but the emperor of the East China Sea many years ago.

Teio has just started on this path.

The Sky Shrine stopped again and wanted to leave. This time, the disappointment on his face turned into solemnity, and then confusion. He was serious, very serious, more serious than before. He turned around and looked at Igarashi Sakuraba's driving.

Watching the other party become stronger bit by bit.

A growing sense of familiarity is coming over me.
