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

Page 59

"What did you say?"

"I do not know."

Poetry and wine were repeated without changing their expressions.

His tone was flat, as if he were simply stating a fact like, "The weather is nice today."

"I don't know where to go for a stroll around Treson."

"........."

Diamond Treasure fell silent.

She stared wide-eyed at the divine girl before her, her light green eyes wide with disbelief.

Diamond Treasure opened its mouth, but didn't know what to say.

'Wait, wait, wait? You asked me out shopping, but you don't know where to go??'

Didn't you do any research beforehand? Even a simple online search would have been helpful!

Under the astonished gaze of Diamond Treasures, Poetry and Wine maintained a calm and composed expression.

It's as if "asking someone to go shopping but not knowing where to go" is a perfectly normal thing.

Haha, so you need to prepare in advance before going shopping!

'I don't even have money to go shopping, I don't know either.'

Poetry and wine evoke a sense of helplessness.

The deep black eyes hidden in the shadow of his bangs even carried a hint of self-righteousness.

She spread her hands and said nonchalantly.

"I'm only responsible for sending out invitations; shouldn't you be the one to decide where to go?"

Diamond Treasure took a deep breath.

She closed her eyes and silently counted to three.

Then, she opened her eyes and gave a smile that couldn't be more fake.

"...Alright then."

She sighed softly, her tone tinged with amusement.

"Xiao Jiu, it's rare for you to take the initiative to ask me out, so I won't make a fuss about such a small thing."

The blue and white figure I've been pursuing is called Miracle: Chapter 70 I Return Today, But I Am No Longer Myself

Lingzuan Qibao smiled helplessly, a sly glint in her light green eyes.

Before Poetry and Wine could react, she generously extended her hand.

Five fingers slipped between each other's fingers, naturally clasping the hands of poetry and wine.

"Come on, I'll take you there! There's a shopping street near Treson, it's really lively there!"

"wait wait wait……"

The poetry and wine hadn't even had a chance to be refused.

She felt a warmth and strength coming from her palm.

That hand was fair with distinct knuckles, and the touch was exceptionally clear.

And so, on the road in front of the Central Teresen.

Diamond Treasure is like leading a lost kitten on a leash.

Dragging this true social outcast along, I ran briskly towards the shopping street.

A gentle breeze brushed against their hair.

Two bright figures left a trail of cheerful running sounds on the slope leading to the commercial street.

……

A few hours later, on the shopping street near Treson Academy.

The sunlight had now passed over the towering buildings, bathing the entire street in the golden light of early summer.

Because of its proximity to Tressen, everything here is imbued with the spirit of Mario Girls.

The shop window displays the latest and most popular horse girl collaboration dolls, and a giant carrot parfait model is placed at the entrance of the dessert shop.

Even the vending machines are filled with energy drinks.

The sunlight cast dappled shadows on the stone pavement, and more and more pedestrians gradually appeared on the street.

Most of them were groups of two or three fashionable young women enjoying life.

"Seriously, Xiao Jiu, have you really... never been shopping before...?"

Walking in the middle of the street, Diamond Treasure finally couldn't help but let out its resentment.

She stopped and weakly held her forehead.

Lingzuan Qibao glanced down at her phone screen: 10:20.

More than an hour had passed since they stepped onto the street.

During that hour, they practically crossed the entire street, but couldn't even buy a single parasol.

What was supposed to be a romantic post-match date turned into a walk with the god-like trainer.

Poetry and wine seem to have an amazing immunity to the discount tags, limited-edition ribbons, and even the tempting aroma of donuts around them.

Whenever Lingzuan Qibao excitedly pointed to the shop window and asked her, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

All I ever get is a cold expression and a monotone reply.

"Either is fine." Or... "It's up to you."

That's unbeatable.

What frustrated Qi Bao the most was when she actually tried to force poetry and wine into those boutiques full of girlish charm.

This aloof trainer is just a human standee that doesn't react much.

The black-haired horse remained silent, standing expressionlessly beside the shelves full of goods, her hands in her pockets.

His deep black eyes looked neither at the merchandise nor at the salesperson.

She simply stared unblinkingly at the diamond-encrusted treasure as it selected jewelry.

And his eyes were lifeless.

Ah, so she didn't even look at the Diamond Treasure; she was just spacing out.

'Is this person... here to shop, or to observe my daily life?'

Diamond Treasure was internally ranting and raving.

Or perhaps she just saw I was too tired yesterday and simply wanted an excuse for me to go out for a walk, so she could also clear her head.

Thinking of this possibility, Qi Bao turned her head and looked at the black-haired girl next to her who was calmly looking around at the street scene.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the roadside trees, illuminating the delicate features of Poetry and Wine.

He doesn't seem so indifferent anymore.

I don't know why.

The little flame of frustration in Lingzuan Qibao's heart was instantly extinguished.

'Well... anyway, it's already a miracle that Xiao Jiu would willingly step into such a noisy place.'

'Being able to walk side by side with her like this... isn't so bad after all.'

Thinking of this, Qi Bao's gray ears, which had been drooping, twitched slightly involuntarily.

The tip of its tail also happily hooked up in a small arc.

"Huh? What are you laughing at?"

Poetry and wine keenly captured the fleeting smile on Ma Niang's face.

She turned her head in confusion, her deep black eyes reflecting the radiant face of the diamond-studded beauty.

"It's nothing~"

Lingzuan Qibao waved with a smile, her silver-gray hair swaying gently with her movement, making her look full of vitality.

"I was just thinking, after wandering around for so long, the trainer lady must be getting hungry, right?"

"What should I take you to eat next? There's a really great carrot burger place nearby!"

"It will be all right."

Another completely pointless answer.

"...Look, here we go again!"

Lingzuan Qibao's round face, which had been beaming with smiles, instantly fell.

She put her hands on her hips, sighed helplessly, and looked down at her toes.

"Little Jiu, if you keep going like this, I'm going to take you to eat super spicy ramen with ten times the spice level later! I really mean it!"

Hearing the term "extra spicy ramen" sounds like a dangerous, sinister word.

A crack finally appeared on the face of poetry and wine that had remained unchanged for millennia.

Her horse ears, perched beneath her hair, folded slightly backward, and her throat bobbed involuntarily.

It's almost like imagining the terrifying sensation of some kind of scalding liquid burning through the stomach along the esophagus.

"I used to only see things on TV. I've always wanted to try eating hot pot in Chongqing... but I didn't have the money."

'It's scary, but... I'm kind of tempted to try it.'

After a full three seconds of silence.

Poetry and Wine looked at Diamond Treasure's puffed-up round face and took a deep breath.

As if she were going to her death, she said with a firm tone:

"...If you want to eat it."

She nodded, her eyes revealing a look of resignation.

"Then go eat. As long as it makes you happy, I can endure that level of pain."

"..."

Diamond Treasure has been utterly defeated.

She looked at the silly horse girl in front of her, who had even started searching on her phone for what to eat to relieve the burning pain from the spiciness.

The helplessness in my heart eventually turned into a completely soft and weak emotion.

"Seriously... are you an idiot?"

Lingzuan Qibao reached out and snatched Shiyujiu's phone away in an annoyed manner.

Then he grabbed her wrist and pulled her in the opposite direction.

"Who wants to take you to eat that kind of food! If it makes you sick from the spiciness, who's going to go forest bathing with me?"

"Let's go! Let's eat that!"

She pointed to a shop not far away, decorated with a pink awning and with a long queue at the door.

Poetry and Wine looked in the direction that Diamond Treasure was pointing.

'They seem to be really popular.'

It was a dessert shop on the commercial street called "Honey and Carrot".

……

Ten minutes later.
