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

And the ace of Katsuragi, who was blushing and shy in her swimsuit...

"No! This doesn't count!"

Before Stardust Illusion could see the contents of the third photo book clearly, Aili Digital quickly took it back and handed over the other two.

"Take a look. The photos of Nebula Sky are mainly daily life photos, and there is also a part of competition."

"This is actually Tama's third photo album. The first two albums were full of photos of her competitions and training. This one is all about her eating snacks in various places in Neon."

“These two books are highly rated in our industry!”

Aili Digital held Stardust Illusion's hand tightly with both hands, and smiled with an ω shape on her lips, her eyes shining brightly:

"So let's just leave it to digital! I will definitely not take outrageous photos! As long as I can make a photo album, then I can kill three birds with one stone, isn't that great!?"

"Um…"

After flipping through the photos of Nebula Sky, Stardust Illusion had to admit that if it were just this kind of photos, she would not be so disgusted.

It looks like it can be done?

She turned her gaze to Aili Digital and made a final consideration.

After a while, he finally spoke:

"No."

"That's great! I'll get the camera ready tomorrow...eh!?"

Having never expected that the other party would refuse her voluntary labor, Aili Digital immediately showed a surprised expression.

However, Stardust Illusion continued to speak slowly:

"After you finish drawing this book, you have to send me a copy, and that's the only way."

Stardust Illusion handed over the manuscript.

“Guhehe, I didn’t expect that you, Stardust Illusion, are really good at judging…Okay! It’s a deal!!!”

Chapter 6 (11.5K) (plus ) The Magic of the Game

"Stardust Stardust~ come and help the emperor~"

A few days passed, and it was early morning.

Stardust Illusion had just finished his morning exercise and was about to walk towards the training ground after breakfast when he was stopped by the Emperor who appeared out of nowhere.

Looking at the pony that was hugging his right arm and acting like a spoiled child, Stardust Illusion could only ask helplessly:

"So what's the matter? I have to go to training later, so I don't have much time."

"Hehe, I knew that Stardust would help you... That's it."

The emperor smiled brightly and shyly, his ears twitching back and forth, making people want to touch them.

The emperor has asked around today, and the honey drink vending truck is in the park in front. "

"So can Stardust accompany the Emperor to buy the Honey Special Drink? That way we can buy more!"

"Buy more? Um... I need one more person to help carry it. How much do you plan to buy?"

The following scene appeared in Stardust Illusion's mind:

The emperor and I were covered in honey drink packaging bags, carrying hundreds of bottles of drinks as we walked back...

"Wrong, wrong!"

Seeing the expression on Stardust Illusion's face, the Emperor knew that she was mistaken, and quickly waved his hands to deny it:

"It's not what you think, Stardust!"

"Really? The emperor is not a big eater like you. He can't drink so much even if it's his favorite honey drink!"

The emperor angrily punched the wood in front of him, then turned around and led the way. The two of them explained as they walked:

"That specialty drink vending truck is one of the most popular vending spots in the academy, so they require everyone to purchase only two servings of honey special drinks - if Stardust accompanies the Emperor, he can buy four! The Emperor can treat you to one!"

At this point, the emperor couldn't help but put his hands on his hips in triumph, raised his head and looked at the Stardust Illusion beside him: "How about it, very generous, right? This is a big cup of honey special drink!"

"But……"

Stardust Illusion really wanted to say that the honey drink was not filling at all, but seeing the emperor's expectant look, even she, whose emotional quotient had dropped to the lowest point, could realize that she should change her words.

So she said:

"I'll give you the fourth cup, and then you can treat me to dinner, how about that?"

"Forehead--"

The emperor, who was about to agree immediately, suddenly remembered the appetite of the Stardust Illusion in front of him and hesitated.

The amount that Stardust Illusion eats in one meal is enough for the emperor to eat for five or six days...

But, that’s the fourth cup of honey special drink, even if you have money, you can’t buy it by yourself──!

"Okay! The emperor will treat you to dinner, but Stardust, don't tell anyone else about this!"

If the president or trainer knew about this, they would definitely start lecturing me again.

Really, the emperor is not a child who only knows how to eat sweets! Honey Special Drink is special and can replenish super emperor energy for the emperor!

The two of them came to the park while playing and joking. Stardust Illusion looked up and saw a large circle of people gathered in the park square.

Faintly, you can still smell the sweet scent of honey in the air:

"That's it? Hmm... [Limited Quantity Fresh Honey Special Drink], it looks like there's something there?"

The Stardust Illusion saw a horse racing girl squeezing out with two large cups of drinks. The exquisite packaging and the crystal amber color of the drinks themselves showed that they were not cheap products.

"Well, of course. This is the best of the honey special drinks. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have asked you for help! You can save it and drink it slowly when the time comes, hehe~"

The Emperor was delighted at the thought of being able to slowly savor such a delicacy over the next few days, and quickly pulled Stardust Illusion to the end of the line.

"Speaking of which, is the newcomer that the Golden Master mentioned earlier in our class? Why do I feel like I haven't seen him very often in the academy?"

Since there were more than ten people waiting ahead, Stardust Illusion also started chatting with the Emperor.

She was also somewhat interested in the news she heard in the morning. After all, the golden master was obviously not a weakling, but she admired the runner named [East Business Reform] so much...

If they are opponents of the same year, then can't they have a good competition?

Thinking of this, Stardust Illusion's fighting spirit couldn't help but leap up in excitement.

"Dongsho Kaijin is indeed the same age as us. I heard from the president that he is a very willful player, so he couldn't keep up with the training. I heard that it gave the trainer a headache."

"But the president also told me to pay attention to her, so I guess she's not a weakling."

The emperor nodded and recalled.

"Eh? If that's the case, then wouldn't that mean we'll also be participating in the Triple Crown Classic?"

That’s right, as long as you’re a strong runner in your year, there’s no reason not to run in the Classic Triple Crown.

In other words...will I meet her there?

Looking at the Stardust Illusion whose face was already full of anticipation, the Emperor of the East China Sea couldn't help but quietly roll his eyes.

Xingchen is always like this, she gets excited when she hears someone is powerful - isn't the emperor's power enough for her? !

Humph, when the time comes, I will defeat you and that Dongshang Reform together, and let you know what the emperor’s margin of power is!

At this moment, a faint quarrel was heard from the special drink booth, attracting their attention:

“So…! Didn’t I tell you to add my companion’s portion and give me five cups in total?!”

Two tall horse racing girls were leaning together at the front of the stall, glaring menacingly at the service staff in the car.

"Yeah, sorry!"

The service staff in charge of meeting the guests was a young girl. She was obviously a novice, so she answered her questions timidly:

"Because our [Fresh Honey Special Drink] is limited in quantity, if you need to buy it, each person is limited to 2 servings..."

His tone was slightly trembling, and it was obvious that he was beginning to be afraid.

The customer didn't let go of her timidity. She immediately took advantage of it and glared at him: "Hey! Don't say such mean things. We are customers, okay? Huh!"

With a bang, one of the horse girls punched the outer shell of the vending cart, making a dull knocking sound, which scared the clerk so much that he trembled all over.

Judging from her figure, she must be a senior horse girl? As they quarreled, the atmosphere around the vending car suddenly became tense...

Stardust Illusion and the Emperor looked at each other and they both laughed at the same time.

"Come to think of it, when we first met, there seemed to be something similar going on? A car robbery or something..."

Together with the Stardust Illusion, the Emperor flexed his wrist and walked forward, reaching out to pull the noisy horse girl—

--no.

"Are you guys idiots?!"

A figure flashed across the room and pulled the two men away from the front of the vending car.

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground, and a gust of wind swept past, revealing the petite girl.

"Wow!"

The two tall horse racing girls immediately let out strange cries. The girl who pulled them apart grabbed their wrists with her backhand and lifted them up. The two guys immediately fell to the ground.

"Humph, isn't it clearly written on the flag over there? [Limited to two per person]! Can't you two see such huge words? Don't you have eyes?!"

"Besides, if you buy too much, there will be no one left behind us. Use your brain!"

Wearing a huge witch hat, the girl began to preach in a bad mood.

(So ​​fast... this running style like a storm...)

The emperor stared at the girl blankly, but a storm was brewing in his heart:

(It looks so familiar... Although the movements and body shape are very different from Stardust Illusion, they are really similar!)

"kindness?"

As if she had just noticed the two people who were about to attack, the girl let go of the two horse girls who were looking for trouble and turned her eyes to...

The next moment, her face was filled with surprise, and she pointed at the emperor and shouted, "Eh? Saber?!"

"Oops-"

Stardust Illusion turned around and ran back, but the voice coming from behind forced her to stop:

"Saber, if you run one more step, I will read out the contents of that notebook in front of everyone!"

"..."

The emperor was completely confused as he watched the two people interacting inexplicably. He saw the Stardust Illusion turn around angrily and greet the girl wearing the witch hat:

"Um... Sweepy, long time no see..."

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Do you know each other?!" the emperor asked in surprise.

"What do you mean by knowing him?" The girl in the witch hat smiled smugly. She held her hat with one hand and swung her other hand forward:

"I am Saber, Stardust Illusion's sister!"

"What?!!"

“No, no, no, no, no…” Stardust Illusion shook his head like a rattle, desperately denying the other party's statement.

----------

The three of them took the honey drinks they had bought, found a small pavilion in the park to sit down and continue talking about the previous topic.

"Xingchen's sister - isn't that the one who was hospitalized due to asthma..."

The emperor had of course heard the reason why Stardust Illusion started running, but how she looked at the witch hat girl in front of her, she was a complete horse girl...

"Xingchen, didn't you say that your sister is an ordinary human?"

"That's why I said no." Stardust Illusion replied with a strange look on his face.
