The person in Uma Musume is Saint Seiya Torena!

"No, Hill. Your cooking is delicious, but you're just a little worried."

Nijinsky, who had already cut the food on the plate into a paste, came to her senses. She had been eating her lover's meals for so many years and had never complained about it. She always ate whatever the food was cooked.

Hill looked at Nijinsky suspiciously, then at Sun Chariot and Fusion who were eating and staying for free in his home. These two freeloaders were too quiet today. Even if it was normal for Fusion to be quiet, it was abnormal for Sun Chariot to be so quiet.

"What happened?"

In this atmosphere, even Hill was in no mood to continue eating. She had been in a dispirited state ever since her lover Nijinsky and her two unscrupulous seniors came back from Tresen Academy.

"…Sorry, Hill, we can't tell you. You know the rules."

Nijinsky looked apologetic. She couldn't tell Hill about the Meteor Foundation. Even though the founder of the Meteor Foundation had restored his male body and appeared in the public eye with a new identity, the rules were the rules and they had to be followed.

After hearing what Nijinsky said, Hill did not choose to continue asking. They had made three rules before they got married. Naturally, she knew that the things Nijinsky could not talk about were all related to the Meteor Foundation, so she could only accept this statement.

"I won't ask about your affairs over there. I'm going to get you some new food. Stop messing around."

The virtuous Hill took away the three people's plates, went into the kitchen to make a new dinner for them, closed the kitchen door, and left the three people with a space to communicate.

"..."

Listening to the sound of Hill busying around in the kitchen, the three grandmothers sitting at the dining table remained silent. Xiang Tianhai's words at the training ground this afternoon made the three of them very depressed.

"Fusion, Chariot of the Sun, and Nijinsky."

"I have never been truly free. Even now, I am still bound by invisible shackles that are invisible to the world."

"After I left and came back, I felt very happy at first because I thought I was free. But as things came to me, I didn't feel happy or free. I chose to forget the past and there were many things I didn't want to think about."

On the training ground, Xiang Tianhai was bandaging the wound on the Sun Chariot's tail. He looked lonely, gently stroking the ponytail of his old friend in front of him. The sadness in his eyes made the three people beside him feel really distressed.

"I thought you were still the same person, but now it seems that you have changed."

She folded her arms and looked at Xiang Tianhai with complicated eyes. The memory of that man in her heart began to blur, and the person in front of her made her feel strange.

"Pegasus."

The Sun Chariot with red hair and golden tips turned around. She had a unique beauty under the glow of the setting sun. She could no longer suppress her inner emotions and threw Xiang Tianhai to the ground.

"We have been waiting for you to come back. We all miss you very much. To us, you are a hero in the hearts of everyone in the Meteor Foundation, just as great as the protagonist of those wonderful stories you once told."

"We have been through a lot together, working hard and struggling together from that era until the bright starlight fell on the earth and everything became holy."

"Memories are pearls, friendship is diamonds. Please don't forget us."

Sun Chariot's words moved everyone present. Even Fusion, the horse girl who had lived with Sun Chariot for half a century, felt that she was worthy of her name. The sun began to shine.

"I'm sorry for making you wait for so long. I..."

Xiang Tianhai wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back. He couldn't express his true thoughts because the truth could often be very hurtful.

Even though I had said hurtful words before, I now feel ashamed when I think about the truth of his leaving. I also wonder why I left so decisively at the time, without even the slightest attachment to these old friends.

The three men's eyes never left Xiang Tianhai. They all noticed the shame on his face, and they also knew that the other party might regret the reason for leaving.

"I can't bear it anymore, Pegasus."

The Sun Chariot, who had just finished saying some thought-provoking words, was bending towards Tianhai's head, aiming at the target he had been planning for a long time and gnawing at it, causing Fusion on the side to roll her eyes. She knew that her predecessor could only be serious for less than a minute.

"what!"

The Sun Chariot, who had just started biting, raised her head, covered her mouth, and looked at the man under her with disbelief. She never thought that the other party would bite her.

"You succeeded in reminding me why I left without any regrets."

Xiang Tianhai took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to the Sun Chariot. Just as the other party bit it, the memory that he had forgotten suddenly appeared in his mind. When he was still Pegasus, he was often caught in the same situation of being forced into sex.

If there is no fighter by his side, if he slacks off for a moment, the swarming horse girls will rip off his clothes and force him into a life-and-death game of escape and chastity preservation.

"Can I keep the handkerchief?"

Sun Chariot, whose lips were bitten and bleeding, didn't care at all that Tianhai bit her. After taking the handkerchief, she didn't press her lips immediately, but asked if she could keep it, and even glanced at the fusion beside her.

"This is for you. Please get up by the way. Have you gained weight over the years? You're so heavy."

Xiang Tianhai didn’t care much about the handkerchief now. What he cared about was when the Sun Chariot would go down. If it was seen by the students in the school and spread out, his reputation would be ruined again.

"In fact, you are right. The Sun Chariot now weighs ** kilograms more than during his professional career."

Fusion pulled up the Sun Chariot to stop the other party from sucking the handkerchief crazily. He would suck the handkerchief if the owner of the handkerchief didn't allow him to. In this respect, Fusion felt inferior to the Sun Chariot himself.

"I have a question."

Nijinsky reached out and pulled Xiang Tianhai up. She had been listening for a long time and always felt something was strange, so she wanted to find out clearly.

"You ask."

He rubbed his waist and pinched his shoulders. Although the Sun Chariot could not really suppress him, Xiang Tianhai, who had been a human for a long time, always felt the existence of phantom pain.

"You said you've never been free. Is there something..."

"Nikin."

At this moment, there was no trace of leisure on Xiang Tianhai's face. He stretched out his hands and placed them on Nijinsky's shoulders, patted the elderly Ma girl gently and shook his head.

"So-called freedom is freedom when you don't break the rules, and the party that makes the rules needs some bargaining chips in their hands."

"for example……"

"this."

Xiang Tianhai waved his left hand toward the sky, and in the vision of Nijinsky, the Sun Chariot and the fusion, the clouds that had originally gathered in the sky were split in the middle, as if it was done by Xiang Tianhai himself.

"The ones who really have the power are at the top, and I'm just an employee. But it doesn't matter, it's just another twenty years."

Under the glow of the setting sun, the three horse girls saw the boy with a scent that soothed their hearts and minds becoming stronger and stronger. They even felt that the boy in front of them really had a pair of wings, flapping them and preparing to soar into the sky.

"The meal is ready, come and try it."

Hill brought out the freshly prepared meal from the kitchen, interrupting the three people's deep thinking about what happened in the afternoon, but it also prompted them to decide to sit down and talk together after dinner. Many things required them to communicate internally.

Hill frowned as she watched the trio eating mechanically. Due to the agreement she had made with Nijinsky and the fact that what they were thinking about came from the Meteor Foundation, she, who had never joined, could only watch them eat their meals tastelessly.

At one point, the three of them stopped eating, wiped their mouths with napkins, thanked Hill, and then went to Nijinsky's study together.

"Ugh."

Looking at the leftovers on the table, Hill, who was always optimistic and gentle, couldn't help but sigh. This kind of situation where three people had to think about things together was not new to him, but it had never been as serious as today.

"It really proves what Pegasus often says, 'If you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old.'"

Stroking the diamond ring on her right hand, Hill supported her chin. For the first time, she felt regretful. Her performance in competitions when she was young was really average, and this feeling was particularly obvious at the dinner table today.

The three members of the British branch who were sitting in the study room leaned back on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, their eyes no longer looking dull.

"Tell me, has she really changed? Has she merged?"

The oldest and most experienced Sun Charioteer in the study was the first to break the deadlock, throwing out a topic while stroking his bandaged ponytail.

"I don't know, but she's troubled, just as you once told me, a little like the depression of 1950, but a little more complicated."

Faced with Sun Chariot's questions, Fusion didn't know how to answer. She debuted too late, and some things were only learned later from the horse girls of the same period as Pegasus.

"1950!?"

Nijinsky sat up straight. Being familiar with history, she realized that something was wrong. 1950 was not a good year. Even from today's perspective, the earth-shaking events of that year still made her shudder.

"The Arc de Triomphe is a shocking 251 horse body, the silver meteor is furious, and a world of black and white begins. A dark era ends, and a bright future opens up to all horse girls."

For some reason, every time Fusion talked about these words, tears would well up in her eyes. After all, she did not go through this together with Pegasus.

"Nijinsky, do you know why all the famous horse girls in our era joined the Meteor Foundation?"

The rarely serious Sun Chariot raised her feet and looked at the junior horse girl in front of her. She decided to tell the people in this room some truth today. When she left the room, she was still the horse girl obsessed with someone's beauty.

Nijinsky shook her head. She didn't know about this, but she only knew that the horse girls who could join the Meteor Foundation were either Triple Crown horse girls or those who had reached the pinnacle in some aspect.

"There was no horse girl of that era who didn't love Pegasus. Everyone longed for a little love from this legend, but her way was to use all her wealth to build a home that could provide help to horse girls and was absolutely clean."

"None of us received much pity. She treated each of us equally, even though I harassed her every day and was beaten."

"But she has never said a bad word to anyone, even though she is really mean and venomous. But no one is perfect, and everyone has flaws. We even thought that Pegasus was very eloquent."

As she spoke, Sun Chariot couldn't help laughing. That time was truly unforgettable for her. Pegasus had a verbal battle with the horse girls and made them bow their heads. She was so angry but she knew that what the other party said was the truth. She couldn't refute it and could only hold it in.

"Pegasus, who has always lived frugally, has invested all of her life's wealth into the Meteor Foundation to help pony girls in need around the world."

"Life was hard in the beginning. I remember visiting Pegasus's home at Christmas one year. You know, we had really cold winters back then."

"When we got to Pegasus's house, she was sitting in the cold living room knitting a sweater, and there was not a single log burning in the fireplace."

Recalling some things, Sun Chariot took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. What she said was embellished, and the actual situation was even more frugal than what she said.

Listening to the story told by Chariot of the Sun, Nijinsky fell into deep thought. The winter in England was equally unpleasant. Without a fireplace, a horse racing girl like her would feel unable to stay there.

"A horse racing girl with a net worth of over 100 million and an undefeated debut, she stays at home knitting sweaters in the winter and cooks for us herself, although some of the food I eat is very inhumane, such as hairy eggs."

When the word "hairy egg" was mentioned, Nijinsky's horse ears twitched. She didn't understand the Chinese sentence and looked at the Sun Chariot and Fusion with a blank face, laughing.

"The fighters were very angry that day. In fact, all of us were also very angry. We were not angry because of Maodan, but because we were angry at Pegasus for spending all his money to build a foundation with an uncertain future, while he didn't even have a piece of firewood to light the fire."

Lying back on the sofa, Sun Chariot's thoughts drifted back to Christmas of that year. That was the first time she felt that Pegasus and she were from two different worlds, or that the other party was really a walking god on earth.

"I can only help those who I can see and hear, but there are still many horse girls in this world who are suffering from both physical and mental pain because of their own bodies."

"The original intention of establishing the foundation is to help every pony girl in need, so that they can recover their health and bloom a smile as bright as the sun again."

"I hope my Meteor Foundation will not perish over time, I hope that horse girls all over the world will not be plagued by injuries and illnesses, and I hope that all of you can live to be a hundred years old in good health."

Pegasus leaned on the windowsill, smiled at everyone, pointed outside the window and said, "Auspicious snow and a good harvest, a white Christmas."

Pegasus.150 Conversation in progress

"A sneeze, a sneeze, a sneeze!"

A loud sneeze was heard in Xiang Tianhai's house, coming from the head of the family, Xiang Tianhai himself. This happened often after dinner, and Zhi Shenggong was very considerate and asked if he needed cold medicine, but was kindly refused.

"Thank you ma'am, I don't have a cold, maybe someone else is talking about me."

The owner of the body knows best the condition of his own body. Xiang Tianhai hasn't had any minor or serious illness for a long time, except for the fact that he had a fit on his own.

"Come to my room in the order you joined the team. I think I need to have a good talk with you."

After dinner, Xiang Tianhai naturally would not let go of the culprits who demolished the house today. He also decided to have a good talk with Aldan and Tamamo Cross. Today, he drove the former to Mejiro's house to pick up the luggage and received the highest level of attention from the other family.

The most speechless thing was that Mejiro Gaofeng was waiting for him at Mejiro's house early in the morning, with the air of a family head, wearing a black velvet suit that looked very expensive, and wanted him to stay for dinner.

If Xiang Tianhai had informed Shibumiya in advance and asked her not to cook dinner for everyone tonight, he would consider staying for dinner, but the current situation was that even if she didn't cook dinner for them, he would not take the horse girls from the Saint team to stay for dinner.

Xiang Tianhai felt uncomfortable being stared at by a group of young and old horse girls from the Mejiro family, not to mention that after the head of the Mejiro family saw him, his originally dull eyes suddenly came to life.

For his own safety and to avoid getting involved with other horse girls due to accidents, Xiang Tianhai decisively asked Qianming to help Mejiro Aldan pack up their things on their behalf, load them into the car and leave quickly.

"Ugh."

Xiang Tianhai returned to the room and played with the Buddhist beads. It must be said that there was such a precious tree in the back garden of his cheap uncle's house. He picked the wood beads, rolled them up and brushed them, and they really looked like they were worth something.

"Torena?"

The first horse girl to join the Saint team, Qian Ming, pushed open the door and looked at Xiang Tianhai. The two of them were already very familiar with each other, so it didn't matter if she didn't knock on the door.

What's more, Representative Qianming just wanted to see what Xiang Tianhai was doing in the room, whether he was doing needlework, playing games, or meditating.

What surprised Representative Qianming was that Xiang Tianhai did not reward himself, nor did he play games or surf the Internet. Instead, he just sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a string of Buddhist beads that looked a bit strange in his hand.

The first impression that the Muluanzi Buddhist beads gave to Representative Qianming was that they were weird. They looked dry and rough, not round at all, and of very poor quality.

"Torena, do you believe in Buddhism? What a coincidence, I also..."

"I don't believe it, I'm just playing with it."

Qian Ming, who was trying to get close to Xiang Tianhai, glared at him before he could finish his words. He could only close the door, bolt it, and kneel in front of Xiang Tianhai, waiting for a lecture.

"Can you explain what happened in the training room?"

Xiang Tianhai was twirling his Buddhist beads, multitasking. He silently recited the Diamond Sutra in his mind, but his eyes were fixed on the Qianming representative in front of him, not missing any of the other person's body expressions.

"Gudong."

Although Representative Qian Ming had anticipated this question, he was still frightened by the intimidating Xiang Tianhai in front of him and swallowed his saliva. This feeling was really weird. The last time he was so serious was when Torena was in the audience.

When was the last time?

Forget it, never mind, I don’t remember it.

"Boom!"

"It hurts!"
