Uma Musume, do I have to tell you that I know how to use the Santa Hat special move?

As she spoke, she kept rubbing the Rasengan in the air with her hands in front of her, with a smug look on her face:

"I call it: Fortune-Bringing Flash Combined Technique Type 03!!!"

Fu said as he dumped out all the items in his backpack, then rushed to Mi Yu with the tarot cards and a magic circle diagram in his left hand, and the root royal coin and Buddhist beads in his right hand:

"Come on! Let's start our good fortune now!"

“Brother, brother——!”

When Mi Yu saw Fu Lai rushing towards him with great momentum, he frightenedly asked for help from the Stardust Illusion.

However, she just shrugged and gave Mi Yu a calming look:

"You have to give it a try, right? Mi Yu, come on!"

"How, how come...!"

Mi Yu only had time to let out a cry of grief before the enthusiastic Fu Lai grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the shrine.

----------

By the time Fulai's fortune-bringing service was over, Mi Yu had finally escaped from the clutches of the devil, and was now wailing and clinging closely to the Stardust Illusion.

"Woooo..."

The girl, who was still frightened, had changed her clothes.

The original off-white dress was changed into a black and purple Gothic long skirt, with cute little wings on the back, looking like a little vampire.

According to Fu Lai, this costume is to use the vampire's status to resist bad luck, and it is very effective. The rice bath can only be changed after at least one day.

At this moment, she followed closely behind the Stardust Illusion, fearing that someone she knew would see her like this:

"Wow... this is too embarrassing for Mi Yu..."

"I think it's cute, Miyu."

Stardust Vision looked around for a place to have lunch and then answered casually.

"Well?!"

Mi Yu's body stiffened instantly after being praised, but she suddenly remembered the scene she saw that night:

The Emperor of the East China Sea and his brother were in a relationship where they could sleep in the same bed—!

When he thought of this, Mi Yu clenched the hem of Stardust Illusion's clothes with such force that his fingers almost turned white.

She remained silent, let go of his hand with relief, and then continued to follow the other person silently, feeling an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

She cares about her brother so much and takes time out to accompany him...

She wanted to be jealous, but she couldn't muster up such an emotion.

Because the Emperor of the East China Sea, the second emperor, was born so noble, and he and the Stardust Illusion, known as the second generation of Oguruma, could be said to be a match made in heaven. How could an unfortunate little girl like her have the right to object?

Mi Yu raised his head slightly and looked at the profile of the Stardust Illusion walking in front of him.

She seemed to be thinking about something, her pretty face was a little serious and her brows were furrowed.

(My brother must be... worried about me, right?)

Mi Yu could understand this matter.

but……

Stardust Illusion was the first person she met who was willing to work hard for her like this.

After only a few days of spending time together, Mi Yu no longer dared to imagine what would become of her if the Stardust Illusion suddenly shook her off and ignored her no longer.

Even if I just think about it, it feels like a big hole has been opened in my heart and I can hardly feel the pain.

Mi Yu remembered the wish he made to the three goddesses.

Yes, she did not ask the goddess for help in exorcising the bad luck on her body as the Stardust Illusion said.

What Mi Yu said to the three goddesses at that time was:

(Three goddesses... Even if Mi Yu is haunted by misfortune for the rest of her life, at least... at least Mi Yu can stay by her brother's side!)

"Brother, it doesn't matter if there is no solution... Miyu can rely on her own efforts to become a horse girl who brings happiness to everyone..."

"So, please don't abandon the rice bath..."

Mi Yu pleaded in a low voice, with her hands unconsciously clasped across her chest, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.

However, Stardust Illusion was completely confused when he heard this incoherent request.

But thinking of Mi Yu's inferiority complex, her heart sank. Could it be that she had done something to hurt Mi Yu?

"Why would I abandon the rice bath?"

Seeing that Mi Yu's condition had not improved, she quickly added, "Mi Yu, you should also work hard. I look forward to running with you on the track in the future!"

"Really!?"

Mi Yu asked back in surprise.

Of course she wanted to be more specific, but due to her personality, Mi Yu was unable to express her feelings clearly.

However, Mi Yu was also delighted when he heard the expectations of Stardust Illusion.

(Brother, brother also thinks that Miyu can become a shining Uma Musume!)

“Mi Yu will definitely work hard!”

"If that's what my brother is looking forward to..."

In her mind, the originally suppressed thoughts came up again. Mi Yu lowered her head deeply so that people could not see her expression. Scenes emerged in her mind:

"Mi Yu, I will never let you down! I will definitely be able to stand on the same playing field with you!"

By then, my brother will be watching me...

Just focus on yourself!

To achieve this goal, Mi Yu must make every effort, just as it is said in the picture book -

When a gardener who truly understands you is found, the blue rose, which originally represented misfortune and was despised by others, can also bloom...

Rice bath, rice bath is also OK... In the highest level competition, let all the audience and my brother be happy because of the rice bath

Chapter 154: I’m addicted to running

In the next two methods, Stardust Illusion took Mi Yu to meet Xiaolin Liqi and Manchester City Tea House respectively.

Kobayashi recommended a Feng Shui layout to the two and gave them some small accessories, asking them to go back and redecorate the dormitory for Mi Yu when the time comes.

After the dormitory was decorated, Manchester City Tea House, who was met in the evening, said that she could not help much. She could only see her friends, but could not help others get rid of bad luck.

By the way, when meeting with the Manchester City Tea House, Mi Yu was frightened by the slightest movement after listening to her weird talk - or it is also possible that the friends of the tea house were really playing a prank with Mi Yu?

Anyway, the two of them finally finished their trip for the day. After finishing dinner at a ramen restaurant, Stardust Illusion rubbed his belly and walked out of the restaurant with Rice Bath:

Finally, after visiting all these places within one day, Stardust Illusion breathed a sigh of relief:

"Are you full from Miyu?"

"Yeah..." Mi Yu agreed in a voice as low as a mosquito.

Just now in the restaurant, she was already eye-catching enough in this vampire costume.

As a result, Stardust Illusion ate more than 20 bowls of ramen next to them. By the end, everyone in the restaurant started to watch them, making Mi Yu want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into to relieve her mood.

The belief that kept her going was what Stardust Illusion had said before: going to the festival in the shopping street together.

You know, this incident is an important node in advancing the relationship between the protagonists in a romance novel!

"Let's go, the festival over at the shopping street should be starting soon—"

"kindness!"

The two of them strolled towards the shopping street. When they arrived, Stardust Illusion saw that various stalls had been set up on the street and it was bustling with people coming and going. It was obvious that the festival had already begun.

Her purpose was very clear. She stood at the intersection for a while to identify the direction, then started walking inside.

Mi Yu originally wanted to stroll around slowly with Stardust Illusion, but now seeing her fast strides, although he didn't know what was going on, he still followed her obediently.

"Um...Brother, where are we going now?"

Seeing that the Stardust Illusion passed by several stalls without stopping, Mi Yu couldn't help but asked.

"Go test whether today's method is effective."

Stardust Illusion gave a brief explanation, and continued to use his hands to clear a path forward in the crowd.

Mi Yu, who was jogging, froze. Was the method he was testing today useful?

Isn't he going to date me here tonight? It turns out that Mi Yu was overthinking again...

While she was daydreaming, Stardust Illusion suddenly stopped, and Mi Yu, who had no time to brake, bumped into her:

"Ugh——!"

"Are you okay? We're here."

"It's at the stall in front. The owner of the bun shop told me last time—"

Hearing what Stardust Illusion said, Mi Yu poked his head out from behind her and looked towards the stall in front.

There was an old wooden roller box on the stall with a handle on the front for shaking. In front of her, a couple walked up, paid, and shook the handle.

There was a gurgling sound, and a silver ball fell from the gap in the box.

Seeing this, the stall owner picked up a carrot burger from the table next to him and handed it over: "Congratulations to the two of you for winning the second prize~"

"Lottery?" Mi Yu asked curiously.

"Well, use this to test your luck."

Stardust Illusion walked up to the stall owner and talked to him for a while, then paid for 10 chances to win the lottery:

"I've asked, and the old man has a total of four levels of rewards. The third prize is tissue paper with a 4% chance, the second prize is a carrot burger with a 50% chance, the first prize is a deluxe bento with a 45% chance, and the special prize is a hot spring travel voucher (for two people) with a 4% chance."

"If your problem has improved, then I should at least be able to spare a few burgers, right?"

As he spoke, Stardust Illusion reached out and grasped the handle of the roller and started shaking it. The lottery balls fell out from the gaps one by one and rolled onto the plate on the table:

Yellow yellow yellow yellow yellow, yellow yellow yellow silver.

Seeing this, Mi Yu, Stardust Illusion, the stall owner, and the young couple who had not yet walked far, all fell silent.

10 bronzes and 9 silver out of 1 in a row, only the last second prize of 35% came out...

"How about I give you another hamburger, one for each of you?" The old man couldn't bear it when he saw the thin Mi Yu, so he took the initiative to speak.

"no need!"

Stardust Illusion took the 9 packs of tissues and a hamburger handed over by the old man, then tilted his head towards Mi Yu, and the two left together.

She walked silently in the festival streets for a long time, and finally found a corner where no one was. The two of them walked over and looked at each other.

"sorry Sorry……"

Mi Yu seemed to be unable to bear this atmosphere. She lowered her head with a crying voice and began to apologize again:

"It's all Mi Yu's fault that I wasted my brother's whole day... and in the end, I didn't accomplish anything..."

"That's not what I wanted to say, Mi Yu, don't be impatient—"

Stardust Illusion quickly comforted the girl in front of her, and when Mi Yu's condition recovered a little, she continued:

"I didn't expect that none of these methods would work. This is really a bit tricky..."

"The rice bath has nothing to do with it..."

Mi Yu muttered to herself, she thought of the wish she had made before -

Did the three goddesses hear this prayer? Or did the three goddesses think Mi Yu was a bad boy, so...

Stardust Illusion shook his head when he saw her state.

In fact, today was just an attempt on her part. After all, if the problem could be solved through such supernatural means, that would certainly be the best.

Even if he fails, it doesn't matter much. The most important thing is to correct Mi Yu's wrong inferiority complex:

"It's no big deal if I don't succeed today. I still have a way."
