My fiancée Yukino

Luo Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing. Having someone to compete with can motivate Mi Yu more. After this competition, the morning training can be over. Speaking of which, is anyone from Spica going to participate in the Takarazuka Memorial in June?"

Nishizaki Ryu narrowed his eyes and said, "Are they trying to gather intelligence? But there's nothing to hide. Our team's Megumi McQueen is preparing to participate and has already registered. Today, he probably wants to understand the opponent's condition before the match."

"Metsuji McQueen, he is indeed a formidable opponent."

Nishizaki Ryu said with a smile, "In order to participate in the Dream Cup next year, not only McQueen, but everyone else will definitely need to participate in more competitions and achieve good results. In addition, we are also considering Special Week and Golden Ship from our team. As for other participants, Excellent Quality and Divine Eagle have already been confirmed."

Hearing these names, Luo Bai smiled and narrowed his eyes: "It seems that Mi Yu has quite a few opponents who need to take her seriously."

Soon, at the starting line, the horse girls were all ready, and Luo Bai handed over the starting action to Xiao Li Mao.

Raising the starting pistol, Oguri-hat looked at everyone and said, "Ready!"

"Oh!"

With the command given, the horse girls rushed out at lightning speed.

Looking big

At the start of the race, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Although it's called a competition, everyone seems quite cautious because of the subsequent races. Only Yamato Akachi and Vodka, as always, chose to take the lead. It seems that they value competing with each other more than competing with Mi Yu."

"These two are just like that," Nishizaki Ryu said helplessly. "I expected this before it even started. But Mi Yu doesn't seem to be taking it too seriously either; instead, he and McQueen are on guard against each other."

Speaking of rice baths, Luo Bai nodded in satisfaction.

Mi Yu was not blinded by the impromptu competition. Instead, she obediently followed her own plan, choosing not to use her full strength, not to use her breathing techniques, and not to use the ability to use her aura to intimidate others, which she had gradually mastered. She simply followed closely behind McQueen's pace, staying in the second group and not falling too far behind Yamato Akira and Vodka ahead.

Behind the two of them was Special Week, and at the very back was the Golden Ship.

Looking at Golden Ship's unhurried pace, Luo Bai said with a smile, "Having a horse like Golden Ship is quite a challenge, isn't it? She doesn't listen to your training arrangements at all and does whatever she wants."

Nishizaki Ryu nodded in complete agreement: "That's right, that's exactly it. I can't command this guy at all. But isn't that what makes the Golden Ship? Even now, the Golden Ship has still achieved great results. Any opponent who underestimates her will pay the price. Including Mi Yu, don't underestimate her!"

"Don't worry, my family's rice bath will never underestimate any opponent."

The match had just begun, so neither of them was in a hurry. Nishizaki Ryu patted Luo Bai on the shoulder with a smile, his eyes filled with gossip as he said, "I've heard some rumors at school, about you and Mi Yu... it's not really true, is it?"

“Yes, that’s true, and there’s no point in hiding it.” Luo Bai smiled at Nishizaki Ryu. “I don’t think anyone would be unmoved by a horse girl, right?”

"That's true, but as far as I know, taking a horse girl is a huge test for the man himself. You know, even the horse girls who don't become racehorses have physical abilities that are incomparable to ordinary people. Specifically, um, I think you know what I mean."

Luo Bai was somewhat surprised by Nishizaki Ryu's words, because he had never seen similar news online.

It seems that only people within the horse girl community would know this.

To this, Luo Bai calmly replied, "Don't worry, this is no burden for me. I've been working out to maintain my health for a better future."

Nishizaki Ryu stroked his chin, looked at Luo Bai whose expression remained unchanged, and sighed, "Tsk tsk, as expected of a young man, there's no comparison. Ah, there's been a change over there, Special Week has started."

On the track, after passing the bend, Special Zhou began to unleash his power and gradually caught up with Mi Yu and Megumi McQueen ahead.

Noticing that Special Zhou was catching up from behind, Mi Yu and Megumi McQueen could no longer restrain themselves and sped up to catch up.

As for the final golden ship, it still leisurely and unhurriedly came in last place.

However, Luo Bai, Xi Qilong, Donghai Diwang, and Xiao Limao could all see that no matter how the speed of the horse girls in front changed, the Golden Ship maintained the gap with the front and was not widened at all.

Oguri Hat squinted and said, "As expected of the Golden Ship that can defeat fifteen ships at once, it looks like the last one, but it is actually accumulating power."

Just as Miyu, Megumi McQueen, and Special Week were about to catch up with the leading Yamato Akari and Vodka, the Golden Ship finally accelerated.

Volume 1: Chapter 453 The Results of the Competition (1/2)

"Oh, oh, oh! The golden ship is here!"

Accompanied by the Golden Ship's quirky shouts, she quickly caught up with Extra Thin, Rice Bath, and McQueen with tremendous speed, drawing the attention of the three horse girls.

Although Luo Bai knew that the Golden Ship had strong chasing power, he did not expect the opponent's explosive power to be so strong.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Golden Ship, its strength is truly exaggerated, and it hasn't even reached its peak yet, it can still continue to improve."

Nishizaki Ryu nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's exactly how it is, but I really can't control the training; they just won't listen to me..."

The Golden Ship has its own ideas. If it's in a good mood, it will listen to others, but if it's in a bad mood, it will give you a 121 billion kick. Luo Bai knows this all too well.

With a smile on his face, Luo Bai saw Mi Yu and Megumi McQueen also begin to accelerate, gradually approaching Yamato Akashi and Vodka ahead.

As the distance closed little by little, Yamato Akaki and Vodka no longer had time to continue their fight. Their attention was now focused on their pursuing opponent, and they desperately tried to create distance between themselves.

Unfortunately, their previous fight had exhausted them, and they could no longer increase their speed. As a result, they were caught up by Miyu and Megumi McQueen, who were accelerating, and eventually overtook them.

"Oyster!"

"Oyster!"

And just as the two finished shouting, the alien monster Golden Ship came chasing after them, howling as it overtook them, closely following Mi Yu and Megumi McQueen's steps.

As they got closer to the finish line, the three female racehorses in front gradually loosened up and used more effort.

Luo Bai and Xi Qilong were also standing on this side of the finish line, staring intently at the approaching racehorse girls.

In an instant, the three female racehorses crossed the finish line almost simultaneously.

After crossing the finish line, the golden ship, which had slowly come to a stop, turned back and asked expectantly, "Who won? Who won?"

Luo Bai and Xi Qilong exchanged a glance and raised their hands to signal the other to speak.

Nishizaki Ryu scratched his head helplessly, looked at Mi Yu and Megumi McQueen who were coming over, and said, "Although I really don't want to admit it, Mi Yu did win by a very small margin just now."

McQueen Megumi wasn't disappointed by the result. He nodded and said, "I noticed that too. I must have been a little too slow."

Then, she looked at Mi Yu, who was happily watching from the side.

"I lost this time, but I'm sure I'll win at the Takarazuka Memorial!"

Mi Yu nodded vigorously: "Mi Yu won't admit defeat either!"

As for the Golden Ship, it slumped its shoulders in frustration: "Ugh, still a little short..."

Luo Bai looked at the dejected Golden Ship and said with a smile, "It's all because you were too relaxed at the beginning. If you had stayed closer to the teams ahead, you would have put more pressure on them later on. This kind of mentality is not a good habit. If you continue like this during the competition, you will suffer a great loss."

Although they were opponents, Luo Bai didn't mind giving them a few pointers. After all, his own Mi Yu hadn't used his full strength this time, and his secret breathing technique hadn't been used either.

Golden Ship was naturally aware of Luo Bai's words, but if it were to actually change them, it would be unworthy of the name Golden Ship.

At this moment, Special Zhou, Yamato Akari, and Vodka also arrived.

Zhou said dejectedly, "Everyone is so amazing. I started to lose my energy towards the end."

The Emperor of the East Sea chuckled and said, "Hehe, I think I know why. You've been eating a bit too much lately, you've probably gained weight!"

"Ugh?!"

Zhou couldn't help but tremble and placed his hands on his stomach.

"No, it won't, right?"

You can't tell now that he's wearing sportswear, but Zhou really thinks that might be the case.

The others in Spica nodded in agreement, confirming that the East Sea Emperor's guess was correct, as similar situations had occurred several times before.

For racehorse girls, eating more and consuming more nutrients is normal. However, for a big eater like Special Zhou, if she doesn't control her appetite, her weight will skyrocket, and she won't be able to adapt to the weight at crucial moments, resulting in a lack of energy.

After observing the situation, Luo Bai guessed that Special Weekly probably had a weight problem.

This is something that Zhou himself has to overcome and improve.

After the competition, Luo Bai's morning training session also ended, but the members of Spica still needed to do some training before lunch, so the two sides separated.

With less than an hour to go before lunch, Luo Bai took Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao back to the dormitory and then massaged Mi Yu's legs.

Although Mi Yu was very shy, the competition just now had really made her a little tired, so Luo Bai pulled her to lie on the bed and started massaging her legs.

Luo Bai wasn't making things up; he had indeed studied massage techniques properly. After a half-hour massage, Mi Yu was almost asleep from the comfort, and her physical fatigue was completely relieved.

Mi Yu looked so comfortable that Xiao Li Mao was also eager to try it out.

"Trainer, can I try too?"

After Mi Yu sat up, Luo Bai said with a smile, "Sure, but dinner's almost ready, so let me give you a little massage. Is there anything that feels tired?"

She lay down in the spot where Mi Yu had been lying, resting her chin on her hands, and said, "My legs are okay, but my shoulders and back are a little sore."

"Okay, then I'll give you a quick press."

Luo Bai moved his hands a little, then placed them on Xiao Li Mao's shoulders.

Originally, Luo Bai's massage skills were only slightly better than the average person's, but after learning some magic, he learned to use magic through his fingers to further soothe the areas being massaged.

After Luo Bai started massaging her, Xiao Li Mao felt a warm and comfortable sensation coming from her shoulders, and she closed her eyes comfortably.

"Ah, as expected of a trainer, go down a little further!"

Luo Bai smiled and nodded, and performed the massage as requested by Xiao Limao.

Compared to Mi Yu, Xiao Li Mao didn't have much time to talk, since she hadn't done much training today and just massaged for ten minutes before it was over.

Then, the three of them went to Treson's cafeteria, had lunch together, rested for a while, and continued their afternoon training.

The training didn't end until 4:30 PM. Then everyone went back to Luo Bai's house. Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao went to rest and take a shower, while Luo Bai went to the kitchen to help Yukino and Shinobu Kocho prepare dinner.

Using magic to pour various seasonings into the bowl, Yukino asked, "How was today's training?"

"Pretty good. This morning, Miyu had a short race with some of the racehorse girls from Spica. Without using her full strength, she slightly beat Megumi McQueen."

Mi Yu is currently in great shape and has a lot of confidence, and Luo Bai is increasingly looking forward to her performance in the upcoming competitions.

Volume 1: Chapter 454 The Situation of Toyonosaki (2/2)

Monday morning.

After breakfast, Shinobu Kocho, along with Miyu and Oguri Hat, headed to Treson. Today, Shinobu would be treating the horse girls again.

Utaha and Eriri, who were temporarily staying there, went over with Shinobu Kocho after having breakfast and discussing things, planning to stay in Treson for half a day.

While staying at home is nice, it's still springtime in the Uma Musume Pretty Derby world, and the temperature is much more comfortable than here.

As for the others, they either went to work or went to school.

As soon as Luo Bai arrived in the classroom and sat down, Yui Yuigahama excitedly ran over.

"Luo Jun, Luo Jun, after Saturday's live stream, are Shi Yu and Eriri completely famous now?"

"Huh? Yeah, what's wrong?" Luo Bai looked at Yui Yuigahama and said, "Didn't you come to my house on Saturday? It's just that you went back early, otherwise you would definitely have seen Shiyu and Eriri when they came back."

Yui Yuigahama laughed and said, "Hehe, it's getting cold now, and my mom doesn't let me go home too late. But now that I'm famous, is it okay to just take a day off?"

"It's alright. I expected this, so to avoid too much trouble, it's fine to rest and study here in Chiba."

As Luo Bai opened his schoolbag and took out his weekend homework, he said, "Although those two aren't as exaggerated as Xiao Ai, they've still been the focus of discussion on social media forums these past few days. If they hadn't taken some precautions in advance given the current high level of public attention, they would definitely have been swarmed by reporters. And for them, this appearance is just because that's how the world is now; it's impossible to hide forever. However, this doesn't mean they're happy to be interviewed by the media all the time. They still prioritize their work, which is what many cartoonists and novelists do these days."

Yui Yuigahama exclaimed in realization, "Oh, I see. Are they at your house right now?"

Luo Bai shook his head and said, "No, I went to Teresen with Ren and the others. I'll stay there for half a day to soak up the spring atmosphere."

Luo Bai's words made Yui Yuigahama very envious.

"Ah! This is so nice. I really don't like winter, it's too cold!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Let's wait until the weekend. If everyone has time, we can go over and relax. But there's a condition: how's your revision going?"

When the topic of reviewing came up, Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been sitting down leisurely, chimed in, "I tutored her yesterday. It seems that she should be able to pass the exam without any problem. But if she wants to get a higher score, she'll have to work harder herself, since she's planning to go to university."

Yui Yuigahama immediately turned to look at Hachiman Hikigaya, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Hachiman, didn't you say you'd continue tutoring me? I'll only play one day this weekend, and continue tutoring the other day!"

"..."

Hachiman Hikigaya sighed helplessly, "Fine, I was planning to study more anyway."

Hachiman Hikigaya also set his sights on going to university. Although it wasn't Tokyo University like Rakubai's, it was still Chiba University, so the pressure was considerable.

As a result, Hachiman Hikigaya no longer plays games much during his free time on weekends; he mostly spends his time reading, only occasionally taking an hour to play games as a way to relax.

Unfortunately, his foundation in science subjects is too weak, so he needs to spend more time and effort on science.

As for Luo Bai, he doesn't have this kind of pressure. He only needs to occasionally take some time to consolidate the knowledge he needs to use.

He was confident that his memory was no worse than anyone else's.

Soon, the school bell rang, and everyone began their Monday classes.

While everyone was in class, Utaha and Eriri, who had been the talk of the internet these past few days, were enjoying the comfortable weather in Treson while watching Miyu and Oguri Hat's training.

Eriri leisurely took out her sketchbook and carefully drew the little chestnut hat blowing a gourd not far away.
