Horse Girl, Your Friend is Fighting Her Way Out of the Horse Racing Track

"A...date?"

The voices of poetry and wine unusually distorted, even becoming somewhat stuttering.

'Before, I would just say "going out to play"... Why did you use such a word this time?'

She instinctively took a half step back, trying to pull down the brim of her hat to cover her face, but her hands were stiff and wouldn't obey her commands.

Could it be?

"What does that mean? Does it refer to... that kind of..."

Seeing that Shi Yujiu, who usually had a cold face and remained calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, was now blushing bright red because of a single word, and even his eyes began to dart around in a panic.

Lingzuan Qibao was also stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red.

"Ah, no, no! That..."

Diamond Treasure realized that what she had just said seemed too direct and ambiguous, so she hurriedly waved her hands to explain, but the more she explained, the worse it got.

"Just like you and the class monitor did before."

She gestured somewhat eagerly, her voice softening with shyness.

"I also want to go to the shopping street with Xiaojiu to eat the desserts we used to eat together. We'll go shopping and take some photo booth pictures."

"It's just a normal outing, nothing strange!"

She lowered her head, her fingers gently tugging at the sleeve of the poem and wine, her voice growing softer and softer.

"I was still very resentful when I saw you two together last time, even though the misunderstanding was cleared up!"

"I was the one who encountered them first, and I won Game 1."

"I also want to go shopping with Xiaojiu like last time, not in such a rush, but really just the two of us."

"I want to make up for everything that I wanted to do that day but could only watch the class monitor do."

After recounting these precious gems, he raised his head, his eyes moist, and waited anxiously for the response from poetry and wine.

P.S.: I've been feeling a bit tired lately. I feel like I have a lot to do, but I don't want to do anything. I just want to be quiet and space out.

Dark Meteor: Chapter 222 Reflection

The heat on his face from the poetry and wine had not yet subsided, and his heart was pounding violently in his chest.

What?

'I was just shopping...it's causing misunderstandings.'

She took a deep breath, trying to regain her usual aloof demeanor.

But when she spoke, the black-haired girl's voice softened.

"Fool."

Poetry and wine turned their faces away, not daring to look into the eyes of diamonds and treasures, and could only stare at the bushes by the roadside.

"Just say you want to go...no need to say it so loudly."

"Huh?"

Diamond Treasure's eyes lit up.

"Does that mean you've agreed?"

Poetry and Wine pursed their lips, their fingers unconsciously twirling the ends of their hair.

"Since you've already won G1, I can't refuse a request of this magnitude."

She muttered to herself.

Although her tone implied that she was helpless against the diamond-like treasure, the girl's flushed cheeks betrayed everything.

"You'll gain weight if you eat too many desserts."

She tried to cover up her shyness with other words.

"It's okay, I train so long every day, what's wrong with eating a little more?"

Diamond Treasure, full of confidence, happily moved closer.

"Photo booth pictures and stuff... are so childish."

"I love childish things. I want to take pictures of things where you draw hearts on them and write 'favorite' on them!"

"Are you a child?"

Poetry and Wine looked into the expectant, light green eyes of Diamond Treasure, but ultimately succumbed completely.

Her indifference couldn't last long in the face of pure passion.

"……understood."

She muttered to herself.

"Huh? What did you say, Xiao Jiu?"

"I said, 'Okay!'"

Poetry and Wine turned around somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, and walked quickly towards the direction of Miura Dormitory, trying to hide their faces, which were as red as tomatoes, with their backs.

"See you at the school gate at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

Cheers erupted from behind the Diamond Treasure.

"Yay!!"

"I'll definitely dress up super cute! I definitely won't lose to Aru!!"

Listening to the sounds of diamonds and treasures, Poetry and Wine did not stop but instead moved even faster.

'Really…'

'I've started acting strangely too.'

Several dozen meters away, several younger female students were staring at each other in shock.

"Are all the relationships between G1 girls like this?"

The deeply shocked foal stroked its chin and began to think.

……

"Click".

As the door clicked shut, the last ray of light in the corridor was cut off.

The room was quiet. Poetry and Wine leaned against the door, standing silently in the darkness for a while.

Only when she was sure that no one around could see her current expression did she let out a long sigh, slowly slide down the door panel, and squat down on the floor mat in the room.

Poetry and wine covered their faces with their hands.

The side of her face peeking out from between her fingers was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

"Dating and stuff."

"Idiot... Is that the kind of word you can just shout out in the street like that...?"

Even after returning to the safety of his private domain, the image of that idiot tugging at his sleeve still lingered in his mind.

And there was the way I stammered out my agreement...

"Ugh, this is so annoying."

Poetry and Wine, somewhat agitated, ruffled their hair and forced themselves to stand up.

She walked to her desk and turned on the lamp.

The dim yellow light spilled across the tabletop.

The air around him rippled slightly as Rifar silently emerged.

Lifar is standing beside poetry and wine at this moment.

She stared at Shi Yujiu's flushed face with her empty eyes, then pointed to her own cheek with her pale finger, then to Shi Yujiu, and shook her head.

Although it didn't change its facial features, the poem and the wine clearly conveyed a strong sense of dissatisfaction from that action.

The black-haired girl said with some annoyance.

"It was turned red by the wind; the wind in Kyoto is too strong."

Lifar didn't expose the lame excuse, but simply walked to the desk and looked curiously at what Poetry and Wine took out of the bag.

It was a fashion magazine, and there seemed to be something mixed in with it.

Poetry and Wine carefully took out their contents.

It is a rough-made handmade flag with loose threads.

The star pattern on it looked even more ridiculous under the desk lamp.

"It's really ugly..."

Poetry and wine grumbled under their breath, but their hands moved very gently.

She found another book, carefully smoothed out the slightly wrinkled flag, and then gently tucked it into the pages, as if preserving some precious specimen.

Looking at the smoothed-out flag, thoughts of poetry and wine drifted back to the daytime stadium.

'Although they always complain about being tired... they turn out to be surprisingly reliable when it really matters...'

Poetry and Wine opened the drawer and put the book with the flag inside. Next to it lay a coin given at the Zhongshan celebration and a silver shooting star hair accessory.

After doing all this, she sat back in her chair and pressed her chest wearily.

My heart is beating steadily.

Although there was no severe pain, the strange sensation in her chest reminded her that her body had not fully recovered.

"We're going shopping again tomorrow."

Poetry and Wine took a bottle of painkillers from the drawer, poured out one pill, and swallowed it.

Ever since Satsuki Shonen ran away, Shi and Shu's health has been a bit off.

Nanban took it very seriously and gave Shiyujiu several extra days off and reduced Shiyujiu's training volume.

However, he didn't want to slow down the progress of poetry and wine, nor did he want to be alone with nothing to do.

So Li Mao Ma Niang secretly went to a hospital outside the school to get some over-the-counter painkillers and then quietly trained on her own to maintain her condition.

At first, Shi Yujiu was a little worried that his heart might have problems.

But nothing much has happened these past few days, so poetry and wine have just been passing by.

'If I don't recover quickly...'

She stood up and walked towards the wardrobe, which she rarely opened except to get her school uniform and sportswear.

"Splash."

The cabinet door opened.

All black, gray, and dark blue.

It's practically a killer's dressing room.

Poetry and Wine looked at these rows of clothes that seemed utterly devoid of any life.

"...Tsk."

I don't usually buy clothes, and when I have money, I just buy a few random items.

He made it sound so easy for himself, but now he's the one who's having a headache.

'Dress nicely...'

What exactly constitutes beauty?

The image of Naritaji's exquisite layered outfit that day, and Orihime's style, flashed through my mind.

Then look at yourself...

Poetry and Wine casually picked up a black hoodie and held it up in front of the mirror.
