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

Yayoi Akikawa sat at her desk, with the inspection report on poetry and wine spread out in front of her.

She took off her hat and placed it on the table, while the cow-colored kitten on the hat softly lay down to the side and began to sleep.

The secretary stood to the side, a worried expression on her face.

"Chairman, these data..."

"I'm curious too."

Akikawa Yayoi rubbed her temples, her long orange hair slipping through her fingers.

"Extremely sophisticated, yet in extremely poor physical condition. Such a contradictory situation... is very rare."

"and……"

She turned to the last page of the report.

"We can't find any information about her identity at all. It's like she appeared out of thin air."

The secretary remained silent for a few seconds.

"Chairman, Narita and Ennis Fuujin have also asked about Shi and Jiu before."

“I remember.”

Akikawa Yayoi nodded and picked up the fan on the table, gently fanning herself.

"They care a lot about poetry and wine."

"Yes."

The secretary opened the notebook in her hand.

"Naritaji also came over and whispered that Poetry and Wine might have said he had amnesia because he didn't want to reveal his own information."

As Akikawa Yayoi listened, a gentle smile curved her lips, her little tiger teeth faintly visible.

"It's really quite funny."

She pointed out the window with her fan.

"Although poetry and wine are not very willing to interact with others, there are still people who care about them."

"Yes."

Junkawa Tessuna nodded in agreement.

"So, what's next..."

"action!"

Akikawa Yayoi closed the report, a hint of determination flashing in her blue eyes.

"Contact the relevant associations and see if we can find any clues through her physical characteristics."

"in addition."

She paused for a moment.

"Stop watching her now."

"clear."

The secretary wrote it down.

"besides……"

Akikawa Yayoi's tone became even gentler.

"If Narita or Ennis comes to ask again, tell them that the academy will take good care of Poetry and Wine. So they don't need to worry too much."

"Yes, Chairman."

The secretary turned and walked towards the door.

The office returned to silence.

Akikawa Yayoi sat in a chair, watching the sky outside the window gradually darken.

She picked up the top hat from the table and gently stroked the cow-colored kitten on it.

"Eh~"

She said softly.

"Poetry and wine, who are you really? And why have you come to the vicinity of Treson?"

……

When Shi Yujiu returned to the dormitory from the medical center, it was already getting dark.

One by one, the lights in the corridor turned on, shining on the walls.

She walked to her bedroom door, just about to take out her key—

"Jiusang."

A familiar voice came from the other end of the corridor.

Poetry and Wine turned around and saw Narita walking briskly towards her, his golden ponytail swaying merrily behind him, a bright smile on his face.

"Got you."

Narita stopped in front of her, his purple-gold eyes gleaming with excitement.

"I went to your classroom to look for you, but you weren't there. I thought you had gone back to your dorm!"

"Yes, I just got back from the medical center."

Poetry and Wine gave a brief answer, still holding the doctor's prescription in their hand.

"What were the test results?"

Narita blinked, his gaze falling on the documents in her hand, and his expression immediately turned somewhat worried.

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"It's nothing, just a routine check-up."

Poetry and Wine stuffed the documents into his pocket and said in a calm tone.

"Is there a problem?"

"Ah, right!"

Naritaji seemed to suddenly remember something, and he became excited.

She clenched her fists and placed them in front of her chest, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the poetry and wine.

"Sister Jiu, I have some good news to tell you!"

"what?"

"I--"

Narita took a deep breath, and his smile became even brighter.

"Aiori and I are both going to participate in the debut competition!"

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

Poetry and Wine stared at Naritaji's excited face and couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"Debut competition?"

"Correct."

Narita nodded vigorously, looking as if he was about to jump up.

"Orihime's debut match is next week."

"My debut match is this Saturday. Coach Watanabe notified me this afternoon. Although the time is a bit tight, I've been waiting for it for a long time."

She couldn't contain her excitement and exhilaration.

"It was my official debut race held at Hanshin Racecourse! Although it was just a rookie race, it was very meaningful to me."

Poetry and wine stiffened slightly.

Hanshin Racecourse is a real racetrack.

Unlike the training tracks in the academy, this is a place with spectators, commentary, and official records.

For Saima Musume, this is where dreams begin.

'never mind.'

She shook her head, suppressing the memory deep within her heart.

"Congratulations."

She said it sincerely.

"Thank you."

Narita smiled even more broadly.

She took a step forward, her purple-gold eyes gazing intently at the poetry and wine.

"Therefore, Jiu Sang."

As if testing the reaction of poetry and wine, her voice suddenly became somewhat cautious.

"Can you come watch my match?"

Poetry and wine stiffened again.

"what?"

"I mean..."

Narita smiled somewhat embarrassedly, crossing his arms in front of him.

"This Saturday afternoon is the debut race of Shinma Musume at Hanshin Racecourse. Although it's not a big race, it will be my first official debut."

"Many people from my class also come to watch my matches."

"I……"

She paused for a moment, her eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.

"I really hope you can come watch my match."

The atmosphere quieted down again.

The only sounds in the corridor were footsteps and laughter coming from afar.

Poetry and Wine stared into Naritaji's expectant purple-gold eyes and fell silent.

Go watch the game...

Main character: Chapter 283, there's a second level.

Why should I go?

'We should have kept our distance.'

The black-haired girl hesitated for a moment before closing her eyes.

'I just made up my mind yesterday... not to get involved with anyone.'

'and……'

She remembered the expectant face on Narita Road just now.

The other person's purple-gold eyes were filled with sincerity and hope.

The golden-haired girl is waiting for someone to witness an important moment in her life.

'What right do I have to unconditionally accept other people's kindness?'

"Jiusang?"

Naritaji's voice interrupted her thoughts.

She tilted her head, a hint of worry appearing in her purple-gold eyes.
