Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 124 Awkward Sisters
The horse girl standing next to Yasui Makoto has blonde hair and a cold temperament with a hint of subtle power. She is the Golden Master.

After deciding to come and see the Emperor enjoy the spring last time, Yasui Shin took the opportunity to tell the Golden Master about his plans the next day.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I heard it, the Golden Master said without hesitation that he would come together that day.

"There happens to be a training match right after this, so I'll take this opportunity to learn more about the Northern Xuanju."

This reason sounds fine, but from what he saw during the video call and the almost total silence of the Golden Master on the Shinkansen, Yasui Makoto was still thinking about one thing privately.

Could it be that she...was mad at the golden ship, so she came here?
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was probably the truth.

One showed his concern before even returning to Japan, while the other was still busy playing mahjong a week before the game. Anyone would be unhappy with this.

Of course, if someone is unhappy and doesn't even want to see you, this attitude can hardly be considered appropriate.

Thinking of this, Yasui couldn't help but mutter.

Compared to what I remember, many things in this world can be compared, but they are not exactly the same.

And mostly because of my own reasons, some details have also changed significantly.

For example, in the Gaoyue Award, even if the victory was extremely thrilling, the result was changed after all.

So the outcome of the Gaoyue Sho has changed. Will it affect other things...?
Or even if there is no impact, if the Golden Ship is unhappy because of the Golden Master's awkwardness, then Tianchun...

Is she going to do something weird...?
After muttering for a moment, An Jingzhen soon stopped thinking about it.

Even if there really is a change in the world line, it is not something he can change.

Rather than thinking about those trivial things, it is more important to help Northern Black Horse learn from this game.

……

We arrived in Kyoto on Friday night. With the upcoming G1 reward and the fact that it was a holiday, this bustling yet quaint city was extremely lively.

The hotel was booked long in advance. After leaving the station, we first put our luggage at the hotel. Then, we set out to travel around under the guidance of the gold master who had been to Kyoto many times.

Goldfish lanterns floating along the Kamogawa River at night, Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in the morning mist, the towering tower of Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the afternoon sun, the green tide of the Arashiyama Bamboo Sea at dusk, the lantern array of Yasaka Shrine under the moonlight...

Promotional images of the competition can be seen everywhere on the LED screens, and you can see portraits of the contestants who are about to participate every time you walk.

In the hands and conversations of many visitors passing by are brochures about the Emperor's spring viewing and the names of the horse racing girls he supports.

Inspired by this atmosphere, when offering sacrifices at shrines or temples, or sending out floating lanterns along the river, the horse racing girls chant blessings for their predecessors.

Yasui Makoto also performed a worship and sent blessings, and he noticed quietly that when the Golden Master threw a coin towards the Ema Wall, the direction he caught a glimpse of was the promotional poster of the Golden Ship.

Well, I still care about you, so why can't I just be more open about it...

He laughed secretly, but An Jingzhen didn't expose it.

As a special and prestigious event in G1, the Emperor's Spring Viewing Ceremony was naturally scheduled for the penultimate game, the 11th game, on the day of the race.

After watching the morning game and having lunch at the stadium, everyone went to the lounge to cheer for the Golden Ship before the game started.

Also coming over were Yamato Akagi, Vodka, Special Week and the others. The East Sea Emperor and Mejiro McQueen, who had said they would be busy with various matters today, also took time out to come over.

Silent Suzuka, who I only saw on my phone screen the last time, has returned to Japan just as he said then and came all the way here to cheer me on.

The total number of more than ten people was almost enough to fill a game. The originally spacious corner of the hall suddenly seemed a bit crowded. The cheers of different styles and the laughter mixed in made the atmosphere a bit noisy.

The Golden Ship was not affected at all. As she excitedly responded to the thanks one by one, she also said loudly with full confidence:

"Don't worry, everyone! The Golden Ship is in top form today. We're sure to give you an unforgettable and entertaining match!"

In stark contrast to the bustling atmosphere here, a little further away, the Golden Master stood with his arms folded, occasionally casting a cold glance. Beside her were two horse girls.

One was petite and wore chain glasses, the other wore a knitted hat and held a lollipop in her mouth.

Looking at the excited golden ship, the petite horse racing girl adjusted her chain glasses and glanced at the golden master.

"So... Ah Jiang, you have absolutely no intention of saying anything to Ah Chuan?"

"I'm about to go on stage. What else can I say at this moment?"

With his arms folded, the Golden Master glanced towards the Golden Ship and glanced at the Uma Girl holding a lollipop in her mouth.

"Even if she wanted to talk about it, she should have done it at the celebration, right? Wasn't she having a great time playing mahjong with that guy earlier?"

The horse girl holding the lollipop in her mouth was obviously choked.

"...Hey, Master, are you mistaken? I was clearly having a great time with Senior Gu Shui, but Ah Chuan had to butt in, right? Why are you blaming me for no reason?"

"Then you won't let her go to training?" The Golden Master asked with a sidelong glance.

"Didn't I say that? Ask Sister Meng if I actually said that."

The horse girl named Celebration glared back at the petite horse girl.

"Sister Meng, please judge for yourself. Didn't I tell that guy Achuan to go back to training honestly?"

Faced with the obvious dispute between the two horse racing girls, the horse racing girl known as Sister Meng looked as if she was used to it.

She pushed her glasses up with a calm expression and tilted her head towards the entrance of the lounge.

"Since you two have nothing to say to Ah Chuan, then...

"Achuan's training has not been going well recently, you two must know that, right?

"Don't just stand here in a daze. Go help the old man and the eldest sister first."

After saying this, she straightened her collar and walked towards the noisy scene on the golden ship.

They were originally staring at each other in dissatisfaction, but when they heard the names "old man and big sister", the Golden Master and Zhongshan Qingqing, who was holding a lollipop in his mouth, seemed to wilt and their momentum shrank.

Then, in tacit understanding, the two of them kept a certain distance and walked towards the exit of the lounge at the same time.

As they were about to leave the hall, they both looked at Dream Journey, who had just given them instructions, and the golden ship that had calmed down a bit in front of Dream Journey.

"...Don't worry, Achuan will listen to Sister Meng's words to some extent."

Zhongshan Qingqing suddenly spoke, then took out the lollipop from his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Besides, even though Ah Chuan's ideas often differ from others, at critical moments... she's still very trustworthy, isn't she?"

He paused for a moment, walked forward in silence, and suddenly the Golden Master sighed softly.

"Hopefully, she'll think the Emperor's Spring Festival viewing is important enough. I mean...some guy."

(In a sense, the protagonists of seasons one and two are finally in the same picture. Here is a group photo:
Then there are Sister Meng and Brother Dianzi:

Here is another daily photo of the Golden Family:

What? Why is Old Huangjin's head so pointy? No, why isn't Old Huangjin in the photo? So, who's taking the photo?

Here comes the old gold:
