The person in Uma Musume is Saint Seiya Torena!

"Yes."

As the symbol of speed said he wanted to eat, the atmosphere was no longer so stiff and awkward. The symbol of Sirius pulled Ji Zhao to sit aside, and several horse girls from the symbol's family surrounded Tianhai.

"(⊙o⊙)..."

He took out the lunch box prepared by Shibumiya and was surrounded by a group of people. Even a shameless person like Xiang Tianhai felt a little embarrassed. He quietly put his lunch on his legs and waited for the food that symbolized the family to arrive before starting to eat.

Heaven and earth can testify that Xiang Tianhai is really not the kind of person who eats alone in public. He is really in front of his own team's relatives, so he must observe etiquette and manners and not do anything that would cause gossip.

Fortunately, the person who delivered the food was very fast and efficient, so Xiang Tianhai didn't have to wait too long. Five expensive-looking lunch boxes were delivered in ten minutes.

What was even more surprising was that the lunch box, which symbolized speed, was very simple. There was no meat at all, only vegetarian food, which made Xiang Tianhai frown.

Although it is not uncommon for people to eat less meat as they age, but considering the physique of a speed symbol, it is better to eat some fish, as he is a bit too thin.

"Come, come, try the fish cakes made by my nanny. They are delicious."

In front of everyone, Xiang Tianhai put the fish cake from his lunch box into the lunch box of the symbol of speed. He didn't feel embarrassed at all about this behavior. He just simply cared about the old man's health.

"……Um."

There was no refusal, no scolding. Speed ​​symbol accepted Xiang Tianhai's fish cake calmly. Her nose twitched and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. She smelled the scent.

What the Sirius symbol said was true. Xiang Tianhai did have a calming fragrance on his body. Although there was no seductive scent, this fragrance was enough to satisfy the Speed ​​Symbol.

No one started chatting during lunch. Apart from giving a piece of fish cake to the speed symbol at the beginning, Xiang Tianhai also keenly noticed that the others seemed to be the typical people who didn't talk while eating or sleeping, so he was happy and relaxed without chatting.

After lunch, the symbol of speed pulled Ji Zhao next to himself, took out two sets of cards from another drawer of the coffee table, and started his after-meal entertainment.

Everyone else thought it was normal, but Xiang Tianhai, who was joining an upper-class family gathering for the first time, looked confused. Are all of you horse racing girls so down-to-earth?

You don't even go to sleep after dinner and just go straight to play cards, right? Is there any deep pit waiting for you to step into?

"Play a little bit. The first person to finish playing cards can ask the last person who has cards in his hand a question, and the person being asked must answer truthfully."

The speed symbol simply explained the rules of the game, and Xiang Tianhai's eyes lit up. Isn't this "run fast"? He is an expert among experts, and no one knows this game better than him!

Just as the conceited Xiang Tianhai said, he alone defeated the other three horse girls, who kept shaking their heads at the speed they saw, and they really couldn't catch Xiang Tianhai at all.

Either he ran away when he was in second place, or he got away with the punishment when he was in third place with the limit card. He just refused to eat any of the four, and did not give any chance to ask questions.

"…Put it away, the game is about to begin."

Everyone played until two o'clock in the afternoon. Finally, they couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so they put away the speed symbol and prepared to watch the competition with the Luduo symbol. After waiting for so long, it was finally time for the competition.

"Did you deliberately not take first place?"

The symbol of Sirius took advantage of the gentle Moon Goddess to slam the table and pulled Xiang Tianhai to ask in a low voice. She could tell from the previous card game that there was a master, and that person was Xiang Tianhai who had never been caught.

We are not afraid that you won't get four, nor are we afraid that you will get one. We are just afraid that you will get two or three and run away. Many times, the symbol of Sirius has been dragged to the fourth place and suffered a setback.

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation. I just simply don't have the destiny to be number one."

Pushing away the Sirius symbol that was trying to strangle him, Xiang Tianhai took the opportunity to leave the box, using the excuse of going out for a while as he really couldn't hold it any longer if he stayed any longer.

The only male left the box, and the speed symbol also breathed a sigh of relief. She, who had been watching from the sidelines, could see that there was something wrong with Xiang Tianhai, and it was not a small problem. He was at least a problem child at the level of a little fox.

He knows how to behave and knows his limits. He respects me but is not afraid of me. Instead, he feels mostly embarrassed, as if he is sorry for such an old lady.

Xiang Tianhai, who came back conveniently, just caught up with the appearance circle. There was also a loudspeaker in the box, broadcasting relevant information about the participating horse racing girls. You can see the specific situation by getting close to the glass window.

"…The most popular player, Gate No. 8, who won the triple crown last year without losing, and is known as the 'Emperor', Symboli Rudolf!"

Along with the commentator's introduction, the Tokyo competition venue was filled with thunderous cheers, welcoming the undefeated three-time champion horse girl and looking forward to the emperor bringing a wonderful match.

“This is the first G1 race of the year, and what no one expected is that there will be Triple Crown horse girls participating in this sand race.”

"What do you want to say?"

"In the past, no Triple Crown horse girl in Japan would come to race on sand tracks. Rudo is the first horse girl to come to race on sand tracks after winning the Triple Crown. The last one who did this..."

"Pegasus, the legend of a thousand victories, the strongest dual-wielding horse girl on grass and sand, the galloping general of the bad horse farm, is the peak that all horse girls need to look up to."

Just as the two boys, one thin and one fat, were talking to each other, the horse girl with a silver-gray tail next to them joined the conversation and smiled at them, making the two boys blush.

As fans of Uma Musume competitions, the two of them have seen many beautiful Uma Musume, but the Uma Musume with silver-grey tail in front of them gave them a completely different feeling. The first impression was that of a fine aged wine.

"Fusion, give me money, I want to buy food!"

The Sun Chariot, with a bandage still tied on its tail, tugged at the corner of Fusion's clothes like a little child, signaling the other party to give her money, as she wanted to buy some popcorn.

"I don't have any money. Go ask Ski for it. It's over there."

Giving an apologetic smile to the two stunned people, Fusion led the old child's Sun Chariot towards where the Nijinsky family was. Today's game was the highlight.

Whether it will be Ludo who symbolizes making Neon history, or a trainer from the Saint team who will be condemned, will depend on the next game.

Not only the horse girls from the symbolic family were present, but also horse girls from other families were watching in the box, waiting for the race to begin. They all came to watch the race with some personal purposes, wanting to confirm some things.

"I saw Sister Journey."

The gray-haired Ma Niang was holding a telescope and saw her elder sister chatting with someone nearby. They seemed to be arguing about something and their faces were red.

"Looks pretty energetic."

The noble lady ponygirl in kimono took the binoculars handed over by the gray-haired ponygirl and looked at her daughter's condition. She felt that it was not much different from what she had expected. It was more like the same condition as before she left home.

"Today is the day for inspecting the goods, so many people came."

Huang Jinlingduan supported her chin. She had no idea how many people would come to watch the match symbolizing Rudo today. As far as she could see, the people she could see were from the horse racing girls family who could make the association give in a little at the slightest sign of trouble.

All the horse girls families want to confirm how strong the horse girls are after joining the Saint team, and whether they have the ability to turn decay into magic. The information about Xiang Tianhai has been read through, and everyone is curious about how far this fledgling human trainer can take the horse girls.

The Umamusume family, including the Symbol family, the Mejiro family, the Golden family, the Urban family, etc., all gathered at the Tokyo competition venue. This competition is an opportunity for them to test their skills. If they win, they can consider sending the young children in the family to this team to study and train.

If we don't win, then someone will be unlucky.

Judging from the strength on paper, there are two Triple Crown horse girls in the Saint team, a child from the Mejiro family, and a child from the Golden House. As for the youngest horse girl, Ashigao, she also showed amazing leading ability.

Now we have to see whether we can win the game when the grass turns into sand, which can be said to be a reverse version of the game.

As time passed, the participating horse girls entered the gate one after another. Lu Duo, wearing the green military uniform, took a deep breath as a symbol. She had already confirmed the running style of this race with Xiang Tianhai. This was an opportunity to prove herself and his abilities.

"Snapped!"

The floodgates are open!

The symbol of Luduo, with full concentration, rushed out instantly and headed straight for the inner path. This was part of the plan. Her running style this time was different from the previous ones.

"Great start, perfect inside rush."

Standing in front of the glass window, Xiang Tianhai admired Lu Duo's symbolic exit and subsequent actions. Everything went according to plan. This 1600-meter race tests speed and endurance.

"Did you change her running style?"

The speed symbol with a sharp eye saw the problem at a glance. His granddaughter's running style has changed. In the past, she would hide in the group first, but now she occupied the inner lane so quickly, which was obviously a preparation.

"Well, let's try the escape-first run method. In a 1600-meter race, we will set the pace in the first meters, and then we will slow down and change positions before entering the corner to accumulate energy."

In fact, this kind of underworld running method was also the first time that Xiang Tianhai adopted it. In the past, when he ran this kind of race by himself, he would definitely run to the end without looking back, and just rush to the finish line.

But the one competing on the field now is Luduo Symbol, and he certainly cannot ask the opponent to change to a long escape, but he can still escape for a while. After that, as long as he accumulates physical strength and finds the right opportunity, there is a great probability of winning.

At least that's how Xiang Tianhai arranged it. The specific implementation depends on whether Lu Duo is willing to do it. After all, some things still have to be decided by the parties involved, and the trainer only plays a supporting role.

The racing field changes rapidly, and many times what is tested is not the horse girl's execution ability, but her ability to adapt to changes. When to overtake and when to sprint depends on her own ideas.

"Ah, it looks like she didn't listen."

Seeing that Rudo Symbol was still leading the pace after 500 meters, Xiang Tianhai knew that the other party was also disobedient. She was the second horse girl who disobeyed arrangements after Tamamo Cross. Only Mejiro Aldan perfectly carried out his plan with him.

"Now do you think Rudolph can win?"

The symbol of speed clenched the crutch in her hand. She still knew the ability of escape, which was represented by Luduo. At least when she was chased and beaten by her as a child, she had the ability to escape, but it was not particularly good.

"She has a chance to win, it all depends on how she wants to win..."

Scratching his face, Xiang Tianhai remembered the agreement he made with the other party in the morning. It seemed that the requirement of twenty horse lengths stimulated Lu Duo's symbol and made her disobey his arrangements.

The total race is only 2.5 meters. One length is meters, and lengths is meters. This gap is unlikely to appear in a mile race.

"Do you think there's something wrong with the way Rudolph runs?"

Golden Journey, who was scolded by Representative Qian Ming, poked Mebai Aldan and stayed away from Representative Qian Ming, not getting close to him, for fear that he would be scolded by the other party because of his desire to participate in the competition abroad.

"Yes, I am running away."

Mejiro Aldan, who was always gentle to others, didn't mind Golden Journey. In her opinion, this problem child was actually quite cute, but sometimes he could go a little too far, like what happened this morning, which seemed very immature.

“It’s not so much weird as it’s just imitating other people’s running styles.”

Tamamo Cross on the side rolled her eyes, attracting the attention of the other three horse girls. They all looked at her, hoping to know who the person she was imitating was.

"Torena."

This concise word solved the doubts of the three older horse racing girls. They substituted the symbol of the slow-running Luduo into their daily training. Isn’t it the running style of Xiang Tianhai who has been controlling the speed in the front? ?

“It’s over.”*2

Tamamo Cross and Xiang Tianhai said the same words at the same time. Looking at Luduo's symbolic running style, they could already guess that the other party would win the game because this slow escape against orders was too successful.

The horse girl behind was suppressed by the symbol of Ludo. As long as she tried to get closer, the symbol of Ludo would immediately speed up and control the distance at a very delicate distance.

"…Is that what you taught her?"

The experienced symbol of speed couldn't help but squint his eyes. This slow escape method was actually very energy-consuming. One had to always be careful about the people behind catching up, as some of one's own energy would be taken away.

"She didn't listen to me, but the game was won."

Facing the accusation from the symbol of speed, Xiang Tianhai just spread his hands. Since they were unwilling to carry out the plan he had arranged anyway, he would not make any plans in the future and let them do what they wanted.

Just when speed symbolized the question, the February Championship had already passed one thousand meters, the last bend had passed, and now it entered the long straight before the finish line.

"coming."

When the 1100 meters ended, Xiang Tianhai whispered something, and along with his whisper, Lu Duo changed the rhythm of the slow escape and started the final sprint.

There are still 500 meters to the finish line. Lu Duozhi does not intend to wait any longer. For the sake of 20 horse lengths, and in order to be able to take Xiang Tianhai back home with a clear conscience, she must make an effort here and win the race in one fell swoop!

"It's too early."

Although he said that it didn't matter, he was actually very concerned about the Sirius symbol represented by Ludor. When he saw the familiar figure suddenly speed up, he couldn't help but frown. Is it true that he won't lose at this distance?

"She wants to make a big difference."

The one who gave the explanation was not Xiang Tianhai, but the gentle Moon Goddess who had been watching from the side. She was also aware of the character that Lu Duo symbolized, that he was strong-willed and would not admit defeat.

All the actions from the beginning of the game to now are conveying a message.

She, Luduo, symbolizes that she will win the February Championship this time!

Just as the gentle moon goddess said, Luduo symbolically accelerated at 1100 meters, which startled the horse racing ladies behind him. Then they realized that they couldn't just watch the other party run away.

They all chose to speed up and follow closely, not intending to let Luduo symbol escape so easily. However, what they didn't expect was that Luduo symbol would stop pretending and directly open the field to put pressure on everyone.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, these little kids are really going too far."

The Sun Chariot, who was eating popcorn, shook his head, causing Fusion next to him to nod in agreement. This kind of final opening of the field is really fatal. It won't kill people, but it will leave a psychological shadow on people.

"Ah, put it away."

As soon as the Sun Chariot finished muttering about what Rudo symbolized, the real owner retracted the domain, left the horse racing women chasing behind, and widened the gap.

"What a disgusting strategy. She suddenly opens a field to scare you, then immediately turns off the speed and leaves. You can't scold her, you can only chase her."

Not only did Fusion think that this way of running was too inhumane, even Xiang Tianhai couldn't help but cover his face. He had never taught Luduo this way of running. He was clean, and it was Luduo who was unclean!

In order to widen the gap, Lu Duo also put in some effort. Even though the time to open the domain was relatively short, he still devoted some of his energy and physical strength to it. In the end, he regretted not being able to fulfill the agreement with Xiang Tianhai.

In the final commentary, Ludo was delighted to hear that he had won by a large margin, specifically, by 15 lengths, far from the exaggerated figure of lengths, but it was still admirable and exciting.

"Whoo~~~"

The sharp-eyed Xiang Tianhai could see that the final horse length gap was far from twenty horse lengths. From what he could see, he estimated that it was at most 17 horse lengths, with a gap of three horse lengths left.

Xiang Tianhai's long sigh of relief sounded a bit strange to the symbol of speed. From her point of view, the trainer of her granddaughter did not seem happy at all. Instead, he was feeling lucky that nothing had happened.

The Speed ​​Symbol silently took note of this matter and would find an opportunity to ask the Sirius Symbol to find out the news later. Now he wanted to talk to the trainer about the contract.

“Moon God.”

"Ah? Here!"

The gentle Moon Goddess, who was still immersed in the victory of Luduo Symbol, quickly turned around, embarrassed to look at the speed symbol. It was the first time for her to see Luduo Symbol competing so hard, and she was a little selfless.
