Stop being a trainer!

This area seemed to be well protected, with a large number of green plants in full bloom. Kashimoto Riko turned around and handed the two keys to Uma Musume.

"You two have your keys right here. If you have any questions please consult the local staff."

Kashimoto Riko said indifferently:

"Your luggage will be delivered to the airport later. If you have any other needs, please let me know. I have my own work to do. Please feel free to move around here. I will contact you later."

But isn't this what has been said yet? What happened?

Before the two European horse racing girls could ask any questions, Kashimoto Riko turned around and left without hesitation.

If the two horse girls could chase, they would certainly be able to catch up, but another voice coming from the environment held them back.

"Hey, you guys from Europe, do you want to come for a drink?"

"…drinking?"

"Hahaha, I'm not a Puritan, of course you can drink here. Or rather, what's wrong with drinking more while you can? Anyway, it looks like this place is about to be ruined."

"What do you mean? We are just here to participate in the competition. We don't understand what you are saying."

"OK, OK~ Everyone is here to participate in the competition."

The tall horse racing girl, who looked drunk, raised her hand and made an OK sign. She looked at the two frowning European horse racing girls in front of her with a flushed face and burped nonchalantly.

"But, just like every other tournament has its own background, aren't you curious about why the Japan Cup turned out like this? This country seems to be in trouble, but it still has to hold on to such a competition. Don't you think there is a deeper secret behind this story?"

"… Tell me about it?"

"It's not nice to say that in front of these people."

The drunken horse girl raised her chin and pointed rudely at the servile human waiters.

Because of the distance, the human waiters seemed unable to hear what the horse racing ladies were saying, and they just bowed with a smile on their faces. But there was a weird pity and sadness in their eyes.

Without waiting for anyone to think about anything, the heroic-looking woman sighed, shook her head while holding a bottle of wine, and turned to walk towards her room. Then, the moment she pushed the door open, as if it was an illusion, both Kaidu Star and Galileo saw the cold light in the drunken horse girl's eyes.

"If you believe me, come to my room for twelve hours at night."

Chapter 21: The Unknown Secret (Second Update!)

"..."

It looks like something unimaginable has happened here.

Galileo and Haidu Star looked at each other, and both saw a hint of melancholy in their eyes.

The horse girls are a group of incredibly sharp senses. If you must put it simply, they are just like the investigators in those board game stories. Each horse girl has her own very unique cognition and senses.

Some disordered places, some twisted places, some unnatural places, almost could not escape the observation of the horse girls. But under the observation of the two horse girls, the whole of Tokyo seemed to be shrouded in an unnatural scene. Everyone was acting according to their own perspective, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of something.

Their whispers, low voices, and the submissive and calm attitude they displayed seemed to be announcing every second that something unimaginable and terrible seemed to have happened in this world. However, neither Galileo nor Haidu Star could understand what was going on. Even after logging into the internal website, they were surprised to find that the entire Tresen Academy did not link to the International Uma Musume internal website at all.

.

"What happened after that guy left? What happened in such a short time?"

No, to be precise, the time is not short.

After all, that guy came to Europe not long ago, and he only communicated with his horse girl during that time. It was normal for him not to know what happened here.

Looking at the news that yielded nothing, and then looking at the scraped billboard that appeared in the distance, Haidu Star felt a strange sense of depression in his heart. It was as if there was a secret that everyone knew, but he was the only one who didn't know it. It made him feel a little stuffy in his chest.

The only person who could contact them was Riko Kashimoto, who left them without saying anything, as if she had seen the plague god. As for the service staff... looking at their smiling faces, the two horse girls knew very well that these specially trained women would not be able to tell even a word of true news even if they were beaten to death. But this feeling was too depressing, and they didn't want to not ask.

They could have just pretended that nothing had happened, but they were horse girls after all. How could horse girls not get involved when they encountered such a strange and interesting thing?

"Sister, what do you think?"

"It feels like there was some kind of chaos in the whole society. But because of the national character here, it was suppressed forcefully, and in order to smooth over this chaos, the Japan Cup started..."

Galileo tapped his lips, thinking about everything around him. Looking at the magnificent room, he inexplicably felt that this place seemed to be decaying.

It's not a visual, it's just an atmosphere.

When everyone's heart is filled with certain emotions, some visual movements, some behaviors, some attitudes, to some extent, can be seen as affecting reality, and then begin to make people have certain illusions.

Uma Musume's cognition was clearer. Even if these people said nothing and did nothing, Uma Musume could still feel this strange atmosphere and feeling. As foreigners, they could find very little information in this closed country, just like they only knew that Kato Akira was excluded.

However, they still have no idea how they were excluded and what exactly happened in the country.

Because of some kind of direct night raid group 694936135, they instinctively felt that this incident might have a lot to do with Kato Akira, so no matter what the reason was, they felt that they should investigate the horror and despair hidden in it.

Kato Akira left here because he was ostracized, and at the same time he left to find a way to save Orpheus, the golden master. But in fact, maybe there are more powerful factors?

The two horse girls looked at each other and understood each other without any conversation.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps at the door of the room. After a while, there was a polite knock on the door.

"Hello! I'm a service staff. Your luggage has been brought. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Thank you, just leave it over there...but we have a question."

"Excuse me."

After placing the boxes neatly in the corner, the visitor immediately put on a smile.

The waiter had a perfect smile on his face and looked at the two horse girls quietly, as if waiting for them to ask their questions.

"If you have any questions about life or language, I can answer all your questions. I have studied abroad in Europe and am very familiar with European customs and some languages. Please tell me your questions."

"Has anything happened here?"

"Why do you say that?"

The waiter still had a perfect smile on his face.

"Some big things happen in this country every moment, but some are more important to us humans, and some are more important to Uma Musume. If you don't describe it clearly, I won't be able to serve you better."

"Regarding the Uma Musume competition and the current Japan Cup, is there something major happening that we overseas Uma Musume don't know about? Don't try to deceive a Uma Musume. We can tell whether you are lying or not. We also know what is going on with humans. You must tell us the answer."

"…If you really want to say, yes, I do. But I don't know the specific details."

The smile on the waiter's face was perfect, but it gave off a weird vibe.

"I'm just an ordinary waiter. I don't know much about what happened here. I only know what I know. But if I have to say, there was a scandal in the Desire Contest."

"This scandal has deeply shaken everyone involved. People have very different attitudes towards this bizarre scandal. Many people want to know the truth, but more people want the truth to be buried forever. I don't know what the real situation is, but what I do know is that many people are demanding an answer."

"But I don't know what the specific answer is or why someone would have such a demand. This is my answer. Are you satisfied?"

"..."

No lies.

The waiter had a perfect smile on his face, but everything about him was unnatural.

Chapter 22 Important Things (Third Update!)

Obviously, he knew all this and used a true lie to describe the occurrence of an unspeakable event in a roundabout way.

Galileo and Kaidu Star frowned at each other, then looked at the man in front of them together, intending to use Uma Musume's method to distinguish the truth from the false, and use some questions to dig out more critical information and factors.

But before they could ask their questions, the man in front of them turned bitter. The other rooms except the two horse girls were quietly opened. A horse girl who looked tall and plump, but had a face like an elementary school student, said in a mature manner:

"Ladies, please stop bothering this guy. From a job perspective, he can't resist our questioning, but from other perspectives, if we continue to ask him, and if something is revealed, he will be thrown out as a non-citizen according to local customs. This is the biggest scandal and the most horrific accident in this country in recent years, so you'd better stop asking."

"You are……?"

"The horse girls from Australia are just like you. I just came earlier because I broke my leg and couldn't participate in the Desire Contest, so I took the opportunity to come and see it earlier and get used to the venue earlier."

The horse racing girl with a baby face, big breasts and an old-fashioned look sighed, pushed her glasses up on the bridge of her nose and looked at the two European horse racing girls with some pity.

"From my perspective, I would rather not have seen the final match of the Desire Contest. That way, I can still live happily in a happiness that I don't know about. From the perspective of someone who has experienced it, I don't recommend you to continue chasing. After all, chasing the stars will turn into chasing the abyss without knowing when. If you continue, the only ones who can really hurt you are yourselves."

"I can't hear what the hell you're saying."

"That is to say, stop asking. You can go now, little brother over there."

"Thank you!"

As if he was waiting for this sentence, the servant, who still had a perfect smile on his face, suddenly bowed to the horse girl with a baby face and big breasts, and then left the corridor at a speed that was unusually fast for a human.

Kaito Star and Galileo looked at the horse girl who stuck her head out of the room with some caution. They could feel the certainty and sincerity in her tone. Similarly, she had no reason to lie. If they continued to question her, the poor waiter might also encounter some unique misfortune.

Although horse girls in Europe and America only believe in their own strength and think that their running can tame the spirits from another world in their souls, they still don't know about the supernatural phenomena and more unique things, and they even feel a little scared.

They had heard about some strange and bizarre things that often happened in this country, otherwise there would not be such strange flowers and blooms.

But they still feel a little chilled by the idea of ​​this whole weird thing enveloping the country.

What on earth could have happened to cause an entire country to lose its spirit?

Or even just a few months?

"It has nothing to do with us anyway, right? We just need to participate in the competition honestly, finish the race honestly, accept interviews from these reporters, and then live our lives happily."

The horse girl, who looked young but had an old manner, laughed and said:

"There is no need to investigate stories that do not belong to you, nor is there any need to interfere with other people's choices. Many people have made their own choices, whether they are right or wrong, they are their own choices. We outsiders are not qualified to judge their actions."

"So the best option is to pretend that everything here doesn't exist, then run away honestly, return to your country, and reunite with your family. This is the best outcome."

"I advise you not to think too much. After all, the more you know, the worse it is for you."

The mysterious Australian horse racing girl smiled and pointed to her head, then disappeared from the room without saying a word.

It seems that she is indeed a very capable horse girl, and her arc skills and silent acceleration are indeed perfect. However, this kind of mediocre attitude of the riddle man made the two European horse girls have a more negative life experience.

What the hell is going on here? After Akira Kato left, the country became like this. Let's take a look and want to know what happened to our friends. Why are you telling riddles here? What are you trying to achieve? We are friends after all. Are you just trying to make yourself happy? ?

But before the hot-tempered Haidu Star could walk up and knock on the door to argue, Galileo grabbed his sister.

"Sis?! What are you doing! I have to knock on the door and ask that Riddler what's going on!"

"Have you forgotten?"

"What? What did I forget?"

"Little star, you really are..."

Looking at my confused silly sister

Galileo shook his head and whispered in Haidu Star's ear:

"That American horse racing girl is not on the same side as us... If we really want to know something, can't we just wait twelve hours and ask that strange American horse racing girl?"

"..."

Yes.

The guy telling the riddle was the Australian, but the weird alcoholic American horse girl was the one who said she was going to tell them the truth.

Haidu Star looked at Galileo and suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. He refused to admit that it was his cerebellar atrophy for a while, and did not realize that there was another possible reason. However, this kind of thing is also very common for the two of them. Galileo just had a loving expression on his face and smiled and forgave his silly sister.

"And we have more important work to do next."

"More important work... Oh, yes! It's to explore this residence, right?"

Looking at his smiling sister, Haidu Star's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, the light of an explorer.

"The service staff who didn't know what was going on, the decadent horse girl who seemed to have the information, and the horse girl who tried to dissuade us from knowing more, I feel like I'm in a COC module now! So where should we explore next? The kitchen? The toilet? Or the lobby?"

"neither."

Looking at his silly sister, Galileo's smile became softer.

"We must not forget to report to Mr. Kato Akira that we are safe, otherwise he will be very worried."

"...Yes."

Chapter 23 D-Day (Fourth Update!)

It was quite natural, or rather, reasonable, that Kato Akira knew nothing.

After a brief greeting and reporting safety, the two of them asked about Kato Akira's situation indirectly, but Kato Akira's reply was very frank and sincere.

'Bai Lian Cheng Gang: If there are any changes in Japan, I actually don't know anything about it. You all know that I was excluded by the trainers and middle and senior management from the beginning. Even if the situation has eased a little later, their team building and various things have nothing to do with me to be honest.'

'Bai Lian Cheng Gang: If I have to say, I just learned from Kashimoto Riko that they started to revise and improve my plan. Although I think from the bottom of my heart that it is not an improvement at all, it will only make all the horse girls feel uncomfortable and unhappy. But there is no way, I am an outlier who was traded out, and I was not even allowed to go back when I was in the hospital. '

'Bai Lian Cheng Gang: So I came here just for Orphee's information, and to see what skills and abilities European horse girls have. After all, there is nothing else I can do.'

'Bai Lian Cheng Gang: But if you say that, what happened over there? '

Faced with Kato Akira's confusion and questions, the two horse girls did not tell the poor man in detail what happened. Both Kaito Star and Galileo were very gentle people. They were not willing to rub salt into the wound and make people anxious in London.

They could just use it as a topic of conversation after everything was over. So the two horse girls simply brushed off Kato Akira, who completely believed in the horse girls, and began their own independent investigation.
