I'm Ornn, and I'm about to be beaten to my knees by the Man-eating Horse Girl!

Just as Oguri Hat let go and Radiant Glow walked past her, she heard Fujimasa March's low-pitched reminder:

“You must be careful. As far as I know, the Kasamatsu Yakudo organization has been very active recently. If you run into trouble, hide and then call the police to avoid disaster.”

"I don't want my future rival to be taken down for no reason. Be very careful, understand?"

Seeing the slightly worried look on March's face, Little Chestnut Hat nodded seriously, and then walked out of the school gate with New Radiance.

The country road was rather deserted at dusk, with only the two figures of Xiao Limao and his companion on the entire road.

Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Shining Radiance asked in a low voice, "Little Chestnut, who exactly is this Mr. Ornn you're talking about? Why is this victory attributed to his power?"

Oguri said in a deep voice, "The reason I was able to win this time, besides their underestimation of me, is mainly due to the shoes I was wearing."

"shoe?"

With curiosity, the radiant girl lowered her head and carefully observed the tracks the shoes left on the gravel road. Then she exclaimed in surprise!

"This!! This!!! So that's how it is! So that's how it is!! But! Oguri, how did you...."

As the daughter of a couple who sells sports equipment for horse girls, Shining Radiance made an accurate judgment immediately after just one glance at the shoes' movement pattern.

These are absolutely the "Winning Boots" made by a master craftsman, and the forging techniques he used are so extravagant that they are of the same quality as the winning outfits used in top-tier G1 tournaments!

But how did Little Chestnut Hat, nicknamed "Mud Rabbit" by her classmates, manage to...

As if struck by a sudden realization, Xin Guanghui pulled out her phone, quickly swiped the screen, and pulled up a video with the caption: "[Super Magnum Pistol!! From the Mysterious Forger of Kasamatsu!!]" She hurriedly asked:

"Oguri! You wouldn't...you wouldn't have met this mysterious Kasamatsu blacksmith, would you?"

"Not long ago, a rumor circulated from who-knows-where that during a gang shootout, someone used this incredibly powerful handgun and shattered a Porsche with a single shot!"

“Even my parents saw that video. It was really terrifying. There are rumors online that the person who made this thing lives near Kasamatsu!”

"To forge a weapon of this caliber, he must be a designer capable of creating the G1 final suit. Could that Mr. Ornn be...?"

Little Chestnut Hat was a little stunned by the barrage of questions from the newly radiant Radiance. She stood there blankly, seemingly deep in thought, before shaking her head and saying, "No, Mr. Orn shouldn't be that kind of person."

"...Sigh, if you say so, then so be it."

Shining Radiance shook her head and shrugged, saying, "In that case, I'll go with you to see who that guy really is."

"As an expert in equipment for selling female horse riders, I have very high standards!"

Chapter 7 So you're Kasamatsu Yakuza? I'll rip your hood off the ground!

The two arrived in front of the old-fashioned building. The brand-new brilliance that had just been so boastful now became timid and hesitant.

She looked at the eerie building in front of her, hid behind Oguri Hat, tugged at her clothes, and said in a trembling voice, "Oguri... Oguri! He really lives in here?!"

"The more I look at this building, the more it reminds me of one of those buildings in a horror movie! It's so scary!"

Little Chestnut Hat said in a serious tone, "This is not a haunted building, it's a three-story brick building."

"Is this the crux of the problem?!"

With a hint of despair, the newly radiant figure cried out, "Damn it! Oguri! Have you been tricked?! This building looks exactly like a Spectre castle where a demon is about to jump out! Look! Look, that door opened by itself!!"

"Eek! Aaaaaaah!!! Evil spirit!! The evil spirit has come out!!!"

Orn pushed open the wooden door, looking at the brand-new, shimmering creature screaming with a puzzled expression, before glancing at Little Chestnut Hat.

"Little Chestnut Hat, is this... your classmate?"

Little Chestnut Hat nodded, took a box of food from her backpack, and handed it to Orn, saying, "Mr. Orn, this is my thank-you gift."

"This is the carrot burger patty that Mom made. Although you said you could give me the shoes for free, Mom said she must express her gratitude to you."

Orn immediately understood the other party's purpose. He smiled and then waved, saying, "Come in. What kind of impression do you make standing outside? My house is quite big!"

Shining brightly followed behind Oguri Hat, cautiously entering the seemingly gloomy house.

Almost everywhere she looked, there were display cases nailed to the walls, displaying various weapons of different shapes.

From swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks to talismans, staffs, and wizard robes, all sorts of strange and unusual items were displayed there, making it look like an armory.

The newly radiant light thought to itself, 'But rather than manufacturing it myself, this feels more like someone else manufacturing finished products and then bringing them to me for sale.'

'Oguri's shoes...could they have been made by someone else?'

Orn opened the lunchbox in his hand, and the sight of pork, carrots, and sauce made his mouth water.

Of course, Oguri Hat, sitting opposite him, was also very tempted. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, the drool at the corner of her mouth and the constant twitching of her ears betrayed her inner thoughts.

Orn chuckled softly, placing the now-cold food on the hammer beside him, then putting the lukewarm lunchbox in the center of the coffee table.

He said gently, "Let's eat together, I can't eat this much by myself."

Little Chestnut Hat initially wanted to politely decline, but Ornn had already placed chopsticks in her and New Glorious's hands. After struggling internally for a second, Little Chestnut Hat happily began to eat.

Only then did Orn notice that Little Chestnut Hat was covered in dust, especially on his trouser legs, which looked as if he had been rolling in mud.

This doesn't look like dust that just got stuck on from a normal fall. Did they have a fight at school?

He asked, "Little Chestnut Hat, are you... being bullied at school?"

"If you are bullied, tell me and I will help you."

Little Chestnut Hat was taken aback by this, then, with food still in her mouth, she gently shook her head.

The newly radiant girl secretly glanced at the little chestnut hat. Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she kept her mouth shut.

In the awkward silence, the three ate the food from their lunchboxes. Oguri-hat casually picked up the lunchbox, then asked Orn for directions to the kitchen before going to wash the dishes.

Shining Glory glanced furtively at Ornn, who was stroking his chin in thought. Judging from his conversation with Little Chestnut Hat, he shouldn't be a bad person, right?

Perhaps he can indeed help Oguri now.

Having made up his mind, the newly radiant figure spoke softly, "Mr. Orn... Oguri... was indeed bullied."

"But don't worry!! She's already won the match! And this was in front of the entire school! Everyone admires and likes Oguri Hat!"

"However... I'm worried that they might cause trouble for Xiaoli outside of school!"

The newly radiant figure pleaded, "Mr. Orn, can you help Xiao Li?"

Listening to the girl's general account, Orn frowned slightly.

These thugs are probably looking for an opportunity to get revenge. He wanted to help, but Ornn himself couldn't even get out of the building, so how could he possibly help?

However... just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

Ornn had made up his mind. He nodded to the new radiance and said, "It's alright, I've got this all planned out."

"Don't worry, you can go to and from school as usual from now on. It's best not to take the side paths. After a while, this matter will naturally be resolved."

Will there be a result naturally?

With a hint of suspicion, Xin Guanghui looked at Orn. ​​She had been thinking for a long time but still had no clue. However, seeing his confident expression, she nodded and said, "Then thank you for your help, Mr. Orn!"

"Oguri! Let's go back!"

Little Chestnut Hat, who had just finished washing the dishes, nodded, handed the chopsticks back to Orn, and then left the strange house with New Radiance.

Just as Ornn said, in the following week, neither Shining Glory nor Little Chestnut Hat encountered the Yakuza trio. Apart from the occasional appearance of some shady street thugs outside the school, everything seemed to be perfectly normal.

On Friday evening of the second week, the peaceful routine was finally broken.

"Xiao Li! Your speed has increased a lot during today's group training! I think even that special guest student in the class can't outrun you!"

Shining brightly, he followed Little Chestnut Hat excitedly. The two were walking on the gravel road that Little Chestnut Hat usually took home from school.

She said excitedly, "If this continues, Oguri, you might become the best player in Kasamatsu Tressen! Maybe you'll be able to participate in a competition soon!"

But upon hearing Chestnut-haired Horse Mother's praise, Little Chestnut Hat simply pursed his lips.

She shook her head and said softly, "It's all thanks to Mr. Orn. ​​I... I'm not that amazing."

Shining with newfound radiance, he looked at the other person with a puzzled expression, only to hear Little Chestnut Hat continue, "Recently, during training, I've relied too much on the shoes Mr. Orn gave me."

"No matter what kind of training it was, it seemed that as long as I put on those shoes, I could easily win. That feeling of looking down on everything... terrified me."

"I...I don't want to use this power any more."

The excitement on Xin Guanghui's face also stopped. She grabbed Xiao Limao's arm and comforted her, "Xiao Limao, why don't we go see Mr. Orn today? He invited us to try his cooking yesterday!"

"Perhaps he can offer some advice on your training?"

The ears of the little chestnut hat that had been drooping stood up again. She nodded and said with a smile, "Okay! Let's go then!"

"Leave? You can't leave anywhere!"

With a sharp shout, the hot girl who had been defeated by Oguri Hat suddenly darted out from around the corner, accompanied by several male and female thugs dressed in trendy brand clothing.

At the same time, two very dilapidated cars stopped behind Oguri Hat and Shining Glamour, blocking their escape route.

Oh no!! Someone's really here to cause trouble!?

It's been a week already!! And they chose this time of year!! ??

With a fierce grit of her teeth, Xin Guanghui stepped forward and shouted, "You!! What do you think you're doing!! This place is less than a kilometer away from the police station!! Aren't you afraid of going to jail!?"

While speaking, she also took out her phone from behind her back and pressed the emergency call button.

The woman just smiled dismissively, crossed her arms, and raised her chin, saying, "Heh, so what if it's the police station? Let me tell you the truth! I have connections! You lowly women can't afford to mess with me!!"

"You've been quite clever this week, always sticking with that mud rabbit and the crowd, but today I finally caught you out."

"I wasn't planning on teaching you a lesson, but since you little dwarf keep getting in my way, don't blame me!"

She grinned maliciously and said to the man and woman beside her, "Second Uncle, Third Sister, go up and teach them a lesson."

"Alright, I recently taught some of those clueless guys a lesson at a nearby high school, and I'm itching to get my hands dirty!"

The third sister, who was also a horse spirit, clenched her fists, preparing to step forward and unleash her martial arts skills.

But before she could even get into position, a sharp car horn blared from the other end of the street, and a well-decorated luxury car slammed into the dilapidated vehicle, hurtling straight towards the crowd.

"A madman!! Where did this madman come from?!"

"Scatter! Drag that clueless driver out and beat him up!!"

The thugs were startled by the sudden impact and quickly made way for each other.

The car took the opportunity to approach the center of the chaos. The instant the car came to a stop, the door suddenly sprang open, and a dark figure shot out from the driver's seat like lightning, rushing straight towards the thugs surrounding Oguri-hat.

"Damn it!! They're here to cause trouble!! Everyone, attack!!"

The hot-tempered woman picked up a wooden stick and swung it at the dark figure.

But the other party seemed to have anticipated the hot girl's attack, and with a slight sidestep, she dodged it.

At the same time, the dark figure took a step forward, grabbed the hot girl's shoulder, and then shoved her to the ground.

"Ugh!!"

Seeing their leader captured, the thugs immediately surged forward, hoping to use their numerical advantage to subdue the shadowy figure.

But faced with an absolute disparity in strength, their numerical advantage vanished in an instant. Within mere seconds, the once energetic thugs were lying on the ground.

Shining Radiance swallowed hard, only then realizing that the dark figure was also a horse girl!

She quickly pulled the little chestnut hat and bowed to the other person, saying, "Thank you... thank you for your help!! If it weren't for you, we probably would have..."

The dashing young woman in her fitted outfit shook her head and smiled, "This time, we have to thank Mr. Orn for his instructions; otherwise, things might not have gone so smoothly."

"You two ladies are on your way to see Mr. Orn, aren't you? Our destination today is also Mr. Orn's residence. Why don't we... travel together?"

Shining Bright glanced at Little Chestnut Hat beside him, and the two nodded to each other.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!"

Chapter 8 That power does not belong to you

As the car door closed and the vehicle reversed, she noticed a group of men in suits and sunglasses suddenly appear from all around the street.

They skillfully lifted the thugs lying on the ground and then transported them in batches to the vans parked nearby.

Ma Niang, who had just rescued Xiao Li Mao and the other two, looked up at the rearview mirror in the car and said casually, "Hehe, you two don't need to worry about the rest. Leave the professional matters to the professionals."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Orn even praised you two in front of us, saying you have great potential."

"When you see him later, you should thank him properly."

Little Chestnut Hat nodded and said, "Okay."

Unlike the calm Little Chestnut Hat, Shining Radiance's heart was now far from peaceful.
