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

The last spark of consciousness was still flickering faintly.

'If I close my eyes...it really will...'

Poetry and Wine frowned painfully. She tried to tighten her arms around herself again, but the nerve commands went unanswered, receiving no response from her muscles.

Darkness, like a rising tide, finally engulfed her mouth and nose.

As the last drop of rain fell from her eyelashes, the girl's eyes slowly closed.

'what……'

'I messed up again...'

In the last second before losing consciousness.

The whole world was left with only the monotonous, cold, and endless sound of rain.

"Splash—"

Poetry and wine have lost their last support.

Her head slid limply off her knees, and her whole body slowly tilted to one side along the rough wall.

At the very same point in time when the concepts of poetry and wine were completely disconnected.

"Squeak-"

A dull thud of a metal door hinge turning echoed through the rain.

Immediately afterwards, a warm yellow beam of light emerged from the ramen shop and pierced through the rain.

Along with the light, a vibrant voice also emerged.

"Alright! That concludes today's workday. Thank you all for your hard work!"

The brown-haired girl's voice was as clear and crisp as a summer wind chime, brimming with youthful energy.

"Manager, I'll take the trash from the back door with me. See you tomorrow—!"

A short-haired girl dressed in casual clothes and carrying a large backpack walked out of the back door.

She opened a transparent umbrella, stretched nimbly, and her chestnut-colored horse ears on her head twitched gracefully with the movement.

It's Aeneas, the wind god.

A member of the Teresen Academy High School, he is a mysterious part-time job king who works hard at various places to ensure that his two younger sisters can live a better life.

Just as she was about to step into the rain, her exceptionally sharp ears caught a strange noise.

"Pfft."

There was the sound of a heavy object being poured into the puddles.

"Um……?"

Ennis stopped and turned his head with some confusion, looking at a dark corner shrouded in shadow by the door.

Using the light shining from inside the store, she could see the scene in that corner.

In a corner filled with sewage, a dark, shriveled shadow huddled.

That was... a child who looked very young?

"Hey—are you alright?"

Without any hesitation, Aeneas, the Wind Goddess, strode over. She tilted her umbrella forward, creating a small, rain-free space to shield the figure lying on the ground.

"..."

no respond.

Ennis, the wind god, crouched down and his gaze fell on the other person.

The soaked black clothes clung tightly to his body, outlining his thin back.

A pair of black horse ears drooped limply among the wet hair, making it look like a stray black cat that had been cruelly abandoned in the rainy night, soaking wet.

"It's... a pony girl...?"

Ennis, the god of wind, frowned instantly.

She reached out and gently patted the girl's shoulder.

"Hey? Can you hear me? You'll catch a cold if you sleep here!"

There was still no response.

As she touched her, the girl's body went limp and she fell over.

"Wow!"

With lightning speed, Aeneas caught her by the shoulder, preventing her pale face from hitting the muddy water.

Only then did she get a clear look at the person in her arms.

Her long, black hair was disheveled and plastered to her face; her eyes were closed, and glistening water droplets clung to her eyelashes.

A few strands of white highlights are scattered among the black hair.

Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, her lips were frozen purple, and her breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

"So cold!"

The moment his palm touched the other's skin, Ennis was startled by the icy temperature of the touch.

"That won't do, absolutely not!"

The expression of the wind goddess Aeneas instantly turned serious, and her tone of voice unconsciously adopted her verbal tic.

As the eldest daughter with two younger sisters, she has an innate affection for these little ponies.

"Such a low body temperature...this is a very bad situation."

Beneath his damp bangs, a thin, sticky layer of cold sweat covered his deathly pale forehead.

This is a physiological reaction that would only occur in cases of severe hypoglycemia.

"This is……"

Ennis, the Wind Goddess, tensed. Having cared for her younger sisters for many years, she naturally knew what these symptoms meant.

Just as she leaned closer to check for breathing, the black-haired girl, who had been unconscious, seemed to smell the faint fragrance lingering on the Wind God, Ennis.

Suddenly, the lifeless body in her arms trembled slightly in pain.

Poetry and Wine frowned deeply, one hand unconsciously pressing against his abdomen.

"So he fainted from hunger?"

Fengshen's voice lowered, and a deep pang of heartache flashed in his eyes.

Don't you have a home?

Or are you lost?

'Why have you become so thin...? It's like you've been enduring something for a long time.'

P.S.: I was originally indifferent to Ennis the Wind Goddess, but this outfit completely changed my impression of the mysterious hat-wielding woman. When I first pulled it out, I spent a long time thinking about which horse girl it was before I realized that it was actually Ennis the Wind Goddess.

And in the recent chapters, it seems like Poetry and Wine have been having a rather miserable time. I don't know why.

Main character: Picked up in Chapter 253

"There's really no other way..."

Ennis sighed and gently brushed the wet hair that was sticking to Shi and Jiu's cheeks.

"Now that I, Ennis the Wind God, have seen it, I absolutely cannot let it go unchecked."

She tucked the umbrella around her neck, freeing her hands.

"Heave-ho—!"

The girl didn't seem to be struggling much. She bent down, put her hands under Shi Yujiu's armpits and knees, and lifted Shi Yujiu out of the cold muddy water in a clean and efficient princess carry.

The weight in my arms was unbelievably light.

This made Aeneas feel even more heartbroken.

'So light...'

'This child probably doesn't eat properly...'

"Alright! In that case, we'll just have to take him back to the school's infirmary!"

'I heard that President Rudolf has some business outside the academy recently, so she might have to stay in the dormitory for a while longer.'

Ennis made the decision with a clear conscience, without considering whether his cramped dorm room could fit another person, or how to explain it to his roommate, Megumi Ryan.

"Although the dorm is a bit crowded... as 'Friend A,' this little thing is no problem for me!"

She lowered her head, looked at the unconscious black-haired girl in her arms, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Sleep peacefully, little sister."

"No matter what happens, I will never abandon you! Leave everything to me!"

It's still raining.

Aeneas, the god of wind, strode out of the dark alley, carrying poetry and wine, and into the warm glow of the streetlights.

……

after a while.

The rain not only did not lessen, but became even more terrifying as night deepened.

The gates of Tresson Academy were faintly visible in the rain, and the glow of the streetlights was stretched and fragmented.

"Huh...huh..."

Even Ennis, the wind goddess with the powerful physique of a horse girl, was breathing a little faster after carrying someone and running wildly in the rain for so long.

The weight in her arms was very light, but the cold touch of the black-haired girl spread from her arm all the way to her heart, making her dare not stop for even a moment.

Hang in there, we'll be there soon.

Just as she ran up the slope leading to the dormitory area, a tall figure, who was about to return to the dormitory, stopped under a purple umbrella in front of her.

She is a racehorse girl with long, flowing golden hair, a dignified demeanor, and an air of righteousness.

"...Senior Fengshen?"

Narita asked curiously.

She had just finished her evening extra practice session because of the rain and was preparing to go back to her dormitory to rest.

Upon seeing the Ennis Wind God running wildly in the rain, Naritaji paused for a moment, then immediately strode over to meet it.

"Senior Wind God, what happened? It's raining so hard..."

Before she finished speaking, her gaze fell on the black-haired girl in the arms of the Wind God, who was being protected tightly but still had half of her pale face showing.

The blonde girl's expression immediately changed, and a strange sense of unease arose in her heart.

'strangeness?'

"This is?"

Narita's purple-gold pupils widened instantly. She didn't know where this inexplicable palpitation came from, but the most important thing now was to save people.

"Aru! It's so good to have you here."

Ennis, the wind god, seemed to have seen a savior, but he did not stop walking.

"This child has collapsed by the roadside! His body is as cold as a stone, we must take him back immediately!"

"Did she faint?"

Narita didn't ask any unnecessary questions. She immediately raised the large umbrella in her hand high, completely shielding the Ennis Wind God and the poetry and wine in her arms, while half of her body was exposed to the rain.

"I'll help too, this condition... looks really bad."
