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

[Pumpkin Spirit]: "Me too! I really like Igarashi Sakuraba! I swear I will be her fan in the future. How can there be such a handsome and powerful horse girl! Aloof and mysterious... hehe, hehehe."

[Train conductor in Jönköping]: "But she's also very cute, the winner dance..."

Scroll to the third message.

Igarashi Sakuraba turned off the screen with an expressionless face.

Yadda!

Why can I see the bear dance everywhere? Will I be the girl doing the bear dance in the future?

calm down.

Whistling, pretending not to care.

Igarashi Sakuraba quietly opened the page on his phone, and after making sure he couldn't see it, he suddenly clicked Exit!!! He kept pressing the Exit button! He didn't click it again until he returned to the desktop, and then he went back to the private message interface.

Breathe a long sigh of relief.

[Emperor of the East Sea]: "Are you there?"

[Emperor of the East Sea]: "I used your method... but the effect doesn't seem to be... very good."

[Emperor of the East Sea]: "I feel like the other party is ignoring me on purpose. I don't know how to explain the specific situation. Really, you're the only one who can help me now."

The latest news was released two days ago, during the Gaoyue Award Ceremony.

Think for a moment.

Watch the message.

Igarashi Sakuraba edited the message.

[The Ruined King]: "Then be tough."

[The Ruined King]: "As long as we create an environment that the other party cannot ignore, or even go that far, isn't that enough?"

When Viego resurrected Isolde, he also asked everyone in Runeterra what they thought.

Just do it and it’s done!

I rubbed my temples casually and listened to the song in my headphones.

Igarashi Sakuraba decided that he couldn't hesitate any longer.

So I prepared to rush to the cafeteria, eat quickly, rest and sleep, so as not to miss the afternoon training.

……

Came to the cafeteria of Tresen College.

Athletes all need food to provide energy, and Uma Musume is no exception, so the academy in Central Tresen is very prosperous. Igarashi Sakuraba quickly ordered a Chinese meal, picked up the plate, and prepared to find a seat to sit down.

did not expect……

Just sat down.

I noticed the classmate Zhen Jiling not far away.

And - beside her, she adores Orihime.

Squinting slightly.

Of course I don't mean to be hostile, I just want to see what these two horse racing girls are going to do.

I also took a sip of soy milk leisurely, thinking that this morning was really leisurely.

But I never thought of it.

…saw the quarrel between them.

The noises between the two were getting louder and louder, especially Aimu Orihime, who stood up directly, attracting the attention of the people around her, and Shin Jiling seemed to be trying his best to comfort her, but to no avail.

What exists only is the increasingly intense quarrel between the two.

Igarashi Sakuraba was stunned.

Ok.

This morning is not leisurely.

She felt she should do something, so she walked over.

Chapter 119: Burning Yourself Until It's Extinct

Honestly.

Igarashi Sakuraba never thought from beginning to end that these two people would quarrel.

The relationship between Aimu Orihime and Shinjirei...should be very good.

This is true.

Because we can get a glimpse of it from the details of daily life.

Many times, Igarashi Sakuraba saw the two of them sticking together, and it seemed that whenever they had free time, after training and work, they would go play with each other.

just now.

They actually started quarreling! ?

Igarashi Sakuraba was a little confused.

Was it because of the failure in the Gaoyue Award? She set a goal of winning, but she didn't even get into the top three despite being the most popular. This was indeed a complete Waterloo for Ai Mu Orihime.

……never mind.

Stop worrying about reasons.

The scene cuts back to the present.

Igarashi Sakuraba suppressed his doubts and walked over there.

It's not about showing off.

These two horse racing girls...she knew them both, so maybe she could calm down the quarrel.

however.

Igarashi Sakuraba just took a step forward.

Aimu Zhiji put the tableware heavily on the table, stood up, and walked away without looking back with visibly angry eyes - it was obvious that she was angry. Zhen Jiling tried to keep her, she stretched out her hand to him, but he did not hold it, but ignored it and left directly.

See here.

Igarashi Sakuraba was puzzled again.

Ai-mo-Orihime is obviously not such a horse girl.

as an opponent.

Igarashi Sakuraba knows enough about the three powerful enemies she will face - Aimo Orihime, Good Opera, and Narita Road. Compared with the first time she met and the powerful and mysterious Uma Musume in her memory, she is completely different...

It can only be described with these four words.

Now he looks like a sulky child.

Of course, this is not a disparagement, just a specific description.

trouble.

With a tingling brain.

Igarashi Sakuraba pursed his lips, and finally walked to the center of the storm of this farce, chose to sit down, sat next to Zhen Jiling, and asked in a gentle tone: "What's wrong?"

"what……?"

Zhen Jiling didn't react at first.

It is obvious that he looks depressed.

After seeing that the person coming was his roommate, he forced a smile and replied, "Nothing."

"I saw you arguing with Aimo Orihime."

Igarashi Sakuraba did not back down. He chose to get straight to the point and cut into the topic, and continued: "Can you tell me the reason? I don't know if I can help you...but I want to try."

"Try to help you."

talking.

He tightly clasped Zhen Jiling's hand with both hands, wrapped it, and brought the warmth of his body temperature, and when he looked up at him, all he could see were the extremely sincere eyes.

Sincerity is always a must-win.

That’s all.

...Makoto had no reason to refuse, or rather, she wanted to help Aimu Orihime.

Organizes language.

He immediately replied: "Actually, this matter is quite complicated."

"But the fundamental reason... is that I love Sister Orihime. She has lost all the recent competitions, whether it's the [Youth Cup], the [Yayoi Award], or the most important [Satsuki Award]... She lost all of them. She has tasted the bitterness of failure three times in a row, and lost to you twice in a row."

——Igarashi Sakuraba scratched his face.

And then.

Shinji continued, "Ai Mo Orihime-sister is a horse girl who sets very high standards for herself. Three consecutive defeats have forced her to doubt certain things. The mental pressure and frustration of losing the game have gradually turned into a whirlpool of deep darkness that is about to swallow her up."

"she……"

There was a pause at this point.

……

Just as Zhen Jiling was telling Igarashi Sakuraba the previous story.

the other side.

Aimu Orihime came to the training ground alone. The training ground was especially empty with the wind of freedom. She walked firmly, thinking that even if she failed...failed continuously, she would definitely win back next time! No matter whether it was a good opera, Narita Road, or even Igarashi Sakuraba, nothing could stop her! ! She would win back beautifully!

The determination to win burns.

……but.

It's like paralyzing myself.

——Because it is actually self-hypnosis, using high morale to numb the pain in the heart.

while walking.

The figure, however... gradually began to shake, as if it couldn't even walk steadily.

The fighting spirit in my heart began to fade away, and all that emerged was the pain of self-doubt.

Am I really a qualified horse racing girl?

If it was her... would she do better than me? Even if I only lived to give her glory, how glorious was this? Continuous failures, defeats, insignificant speed and strength.

I have no way of beating any of the three of them!

Aimo Orihime clenched her fists, stood there, and looked at the stars in the sky.

Even though it was early morning and there were no stars to be seen, he clenched his fist so hard that his nails almost pierced into his flesh.

She wanted to use this pain to numb another pain.

Even physical injuries are nothing compared to the pain in your heart.

Take a deep breath.

I want to reach out and grab the stars - just like I want to grab that brightness and hope.

However.

The pain in her leg made Aimu Orihime stop reaching out to grab it, because she began to fear that she had defiled the star in the sky. However, after a moment of painful expression, she returned to her expressionless look, with only confusion and bewilderment in her heart.

Lie down quietly.

lying on the grass.

Enduring the double pain of body and mind.

Aimu Orihime didn't know if she would win - but she would try her best, even if she had to bite with her teeth, and fight like a monster until the last moment.
