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

The newcomer had long, smooth, dark brown hair and was wearing the uniform of Treson Academy.

She simply stood there, exuding an aura of authority without needing to be angry.

Rudolf symbolically walks to the bedside, looking down at the poetry and wine on the bed, his eyes filled with deep helplessness.

"Your perseverance is truly amazing to be able to push yourself to that level in the Japanese derby."

Rudolf crossed his arms and spoke in a serious tone.

Having just woken up, Shi and Jiu stared at her groggily, their eyes still somewhat unfocused, unsure of how to respond.

After a moment of silence.

Looking at the somewhat puzzled black-haired girl in front of him, Rudolf's normally dignified expression suddenly paused subtly.

She cleared her throat slightly, her eyes darting unnaturally to the side, before speaking in an unusually serious tone.

"You slept for a whole week, with your eyes tightly closed... Are you still sleepy, you 'sleepy horse'?"

"..."

What?! Telling lame jokes in front of a patient who has just woken up?

Wow, you're so gentle, President Ru Daohu.

Poetry and Wine stared expressionlessly at the imposing student council president in front of them, as if he were looking at a bag of garbage.

"cough."

Rudolf symbolically pressed his fist against his lips, forcefully salvaging the emperor's dignity.

"Anyway, it's good that you're awake."

"Don't worry about medical expenses and subsequent physical therapy costs; these are covered by the insurance for the racehorse girl."

Rudolf bent down and spoke gently.

"However, out of appreciation for your talent, the Symbol family has provided you with a top-class sanatorium."

"Who asked you to meddle in other people's business?"

Having parted ways with poetry and wine, I felt a surge of restlessness.

"Oh dear, Xiao Jiu, you can't be so rude to the president!"

Suddenly, a vibrant female voice came from behind Rudolf's symbol.

'Um? '

Poetry and Wine looked somewhat doubtfully behind Rudolf.

A striking wisp of chestnut-brown curly hair flashed by, and Maruzensky, dressed in casual clothes, walked in with light steps.

"Rudolph said you might wake up today, so I sped over here right away!"

Maru Zenki sat down on the edge of the hospital bed without any hesitation. She looked the poem and wine up and down, her brows furrowed with heartache.

She clicked her tongue, reached out and pinched Shi Yujiu's pale cheek without saying a word, pulling hard.

"Hmm~"

Poetry and Wine froze instantly, and the embarrassing situation of being picked up by the other party last time involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

"Why the long face? Have you forgotten your sister's kindness?"

Maru Zenki smiled and reached out, ignoring the resistance of poetry and wine, to vigorously ruffle her long, black and white hair, saying in a sly tone.

"Last time at home, you called me 'sister' so sweetly. Come on, say it again, let me hear it?"

Because of his previous infatuation with Orihime, Shi and Shu almost lost their temper when they heard "older sister".

But she quickly realized something was wrong, so she turned her face away and spoke somewhat reluctantly.

"...Maru, Zen, Sister."

"Okay, okay~"

Maru Zenki held his face in his hands with complete satisfaction.

"What a stubborn and adorable girl. With Rudolph and I here, you can forget about playing any more dangerous games of running away from home."

Rudolf stood to the side, watching the Poetry and Wine, whose hair had been ruffled by Maruzensky but who seemed helpless, and smiled with a sense of relief.

Sunlight streamed in through the large French windows, warming the ward with a soft golden glow.

Maruzensky talked on and on, and Rudolf occasionally chimed in with a word or two, creating a peaceful atmosphere in the room.

After a while, Rudolf suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, Poetry and Wine, the doctor said you are very healthy and should be able to return to the academy in the next day or two."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Maruzensky turned to look at Rudolf's symbol with some disbelief.

"Little Rudolf, you must be joking, right?"

"When you sent me the report before, you looked worried and said the situation was not optimistic. How come you can be discharged from the hospital in the blink of an eye?"

"It's a long story."

Rudolf frowned slightly and raised his hand to rub his temples.

"The attending physician had originally planned to initiate a more difficult treatment plan, but for some reason, Shi Yujiu's body recovered very strangely overnight."

She paused for a moment.

"Even the attending physician couldn't give an explanation, only saying that it could be temporarily understood as... a miracle in some sense."

Maru Zenki nodded thoughtfully, without pressing further. She turned her head, her gaze falling on poetry and wine.

"Since Xiao Jiu can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, how about I drive you around for a bit?"

She suggested it in a relaxed tone.

"Don't go."

Poetry and Wine silently shook their heads.

To Rudolf's and Maruzensky's surprise, this time she didn't breathe, but just looked at them with unusual weariness.

Interlude: Chapter 378 Why didn't you say so earlier?

"I want to find a quiet place by myself."

Maru Zenski pursed her lips upon hearing this, remained silent for a moment, and then curved her eyes into a gentle smile.

"If Xiao Jiu has anything on her mind, she can come and talk to her sister anytime."

She gently patted the back of Poetry and Wine's hand, then stood up, tugged at Larudolf's symbolic sleeve, and the two walked out of the ward one after the other.

Rudolf paused slightly as he reached the doorway.

She turned back and gave Poetry and Wine one last worrying look.

Then, the door was gently closed.

The ward fell completely silent.

The sky outside the window was a pale, clear blue, with a few clouds drifting lazily by, seemingly doing nothing.

Poetry and Wine slowly sank back into the soft bedding, pulling the corner of the blanket up to their chest, their eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

My thoughts drifted uncontrollably.

Based on the logic from last time... and based on the previous reaction of the Diamond Treasure... it's highly likely that Ai-Orihime will also retain some of her memories.

I wonder what kind of emotions were blooming in the heart of the person who loved Orihime during that period of time.

'They're all idiots...'

Poetry and Wine frowned, then shook his head vigorously, turned over, and buried his face in the pillow.

forget about it.

Get a good night's sleep first.

……

The next morning, just as dawn broke.

Because the symbolic home's sanatorium was too far from the city center, Poetry and Wine returned in a car arranged by Rudolf Symbol.

As the car drove along the winding suburban road, the scenery outside the window gradually transitioned from rolling hills to familiar city streetscapes.

Poetry and Wine leaned against the car window, watching the roadside scenery recede into the distance, looking somewhat lonely.

Only when the familiar gates of Treson Academy came into view did she slowly sit up straight.

I got off the bus and walked towards the door.

Hearing the commotion, Suguru Tsuna, who was guarding the door, turned around to look.

The green-hatted lady's eyes widened slightly the moment they met the poetry and wine, a hint of surprise in them.

Poetry and wine beat them to the punch, clasping their hands together and striking a somewhat pitiful pose.

"Miss Junchuan, please don't tell anyone else that I'm going back to school."

Junkawa Tezuna paused for a moment, then a kind smile appeared on her face. She nodded gently and didn't ask any further questions.

Poetry and Wine breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed inside.

Fortunately, it's during class time, so there aren't many horse girls wandering around.

Poetry and Wine lowered their heads, retraced their steps as quickly as possible along the route they had taken before, crossing the road where they might bump into acquaintances at any moment, and rushed back to the dormitory building in one breath.

"crunch-"

As I pushed open the door, a familiar scent wafted towards me.

Poetry and wine stood at the door of the room for a moment.

Then she went inside, sat down on her bed, and looked around her room.

Although the symbolic sanatorium was fully equipped and offered high-class treatment, she still found it difficult to adjust to living in such a place.

No matter how luxurious a place is, it can never compare to your own cozy little home.

Poetry and wine made him lean back on his bed and begin to think seriously.

Now I'm back at school.

Next, who should I see first?

Diamond Treasure... pass.

Just imagining the other person's face made Shi Yu feel a headache coming on, and he didn't even want to think any further.

Narita Road... pass.

Regarding Narita Road... Actually, Shi Yujiu could roughly sense what the other person meant, but she hadn't sorted things out at all, and meeting would only bring more things she couldn't understand.

He admires Orihime...

Poetry and Wine's brows immediately furrowed into a deep frown, and his body instinctively shrank back on the bed.

Absolutely pass.

Now, getting poetry and wine to meet her is no less difficult than Kobe Bryant jumping out of a helicopter and surviving.

Who else can I see?

Poetry and Wine stared at the ceiling for a long time, then finally sighed deeply and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.

'Go find Nansaka.'

Trainer's office.

There was no one outside the office at that moment.

Poetry and Wine arrived in complete silence; the wooden door to the office was ajar, revealing a narrow crack.

She slowed her pace.

Poetry and Wine stopped about two meters from the door, leaned against the wall of the corridor, and took a deep breath.
