Jockey girl, the undefeated black ghost

After hearing such a voice, Manchester Teahouse slowly widened her eyes, and she quietly covered her mouth, revealing an expression of joy that was hard to conceal.

How long.

Maybe when she was fascinated by the bitter coffee with endless aftertaste, she dreamed that one day she could sit with her 'friends' and enjoy it together.

Today she finally felt that the distance between herself and her 'friend' was closer than ever. She was very happy, even happier than being close to her 'friend' during training.

Qixi Festival, a wish once a year, comes true here.

She held the coffee bag tightly, like an important treasure connecting her and her 'friend', nodded and said: "Then...wait for me."

As she said that, she hurriedly left the room and went to the housekeeping room to boil water.

Just after the girl left, Mu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing by the side from the beginning to the end without saying a word, Sunday Tranquility, who was afraid that the conversation between the two would arouse the vigilance of the teahouse, spoke.

"The tea seat doesn't like to talk too much with others. There is a very important part of the reason, 'I' is always beside her, and the tea seat is not alone from the beginning to the end."

But when Sunday's Serenity leaves, a teahouse with no one else around can get very lonely.

I can't talk when I'm running outside for training. After the training, it's time for access control and I need to go back to the dormitory.

As a roommate, Yukinobi would chat with her, but the interests and hobbies of the two are very different, even if they try to find a topic by force, it will only make them tired of coping.

Such conversations are not fun at all.

It is also because of this that the recent teahouse is a bit gloomy.

It seems that I have to take time out to accompany her occasionally...

While the two ghosts were waiting for the teahouse to return, the girl with dim eyes suddenly pushed open the door.

Eri Tashiko enters the house.

"Sorry for the interruption." She waved to the 'tea seat' on the sofa, "During the experiment in the morning, the potion accidentally splashed on the key and burned several holes in it. I will go get the spare key tomorrow. Before that, I borrowed it here."

She said very dangerous words indifferently, with a white bandage wrapped around the tip of her right finger.

Hot... Could it be that she is developing explosives?

"……Is it okay?"

"Often." She glanced at her wound and said nonchalantly.

Actually, what I want to ask is whether the room is okay... The curtain in the middle is not bombproof.

"By the way, I recently developed something interesting."

She rested her chin with her uninjured hand, and said proudly, "What do you think of being able to change the coffee into black tea-flavored candies? Anyway, if you know that you are drinking coffee, you can choose any flavor, so I want to You know the beauty of black tea..."

Just as Ari Tachoko was talking about her research results, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

With the sound of the door opening, Manchester City Cafe walked in with two cups of coffee.

Eri Tsubaki, who was still talking, turned her head to look at the other party, her eyes suddenly widened.

She immediately turned to the sofa again.

The 'Manchester City Cafe' where she had listened to her speech was left with only a solitary coat left on the ground.

"Ah... huh? Strange..."

She made a voice of doubting life.

"In the case of optical illusions, it is impossible to have an impact on real objects, and my brain is not tense... In that case, tea seat, you just now..."

Before he could finish speaking, the coffee shop quietly put down the coffee, and with a gloomy face, he grabbed Eri Tayonko by the collar.

"You guy..."

"Uh-huh!?"

what's going on!

Chapter 41 Have you ever heard...

"Is it finished?"

Looking at the packaged contestants' materials on the table, Rudolph asked the air tank who was arranging the books.

"It has been completed, it just needs to be handed over to the central government."

"I see." She nodded and returned to her seat, "Thank you."

"Recently, the central government's censorship mechanism is stricter than at any time in previous years. Is it my illusion?"

After arranging the recent documents in alphabetical order, Qi Zuo couldn't help but speak.

"Even the student's ID number is required. In the past, only a photo was required."

Not only that, but the documents submitted to the central government were two to three days earlier than usual.Qi Chuo didn't think that the reason why the central government got the information in advance was to hold it in his hand, and he thought it was so fun.

"After all, the central government has put a lot of thought into suppressing the [Japanese Derby] violation. Even ordinary games require reporters to report to distract the topic of that accident. It's a pity..."

"Unfortunately there is no way to eradicate it, right?"

"That's natural. No matter how hard you try, you can't shut the mouths of tens of thousands of spectators, and they can't supervise in real time. The topic of black horse girls is still circulating on the Internet."

Rudolph said helplessly, "Perhaps as people say, her identity and her story are insoluble puzzles, and information about her will come out from time to time without any source."

"It's hard to tell the truth from the fake voices on the Internet, it's best not to believe what they say." Qi Zuo reminded.

"I think so too."

Rudolph agreed, "However, I stumbled upon a topic post on Teresan's website, telling a story about a black horse girl, which is quite interesting."

"story?"

"It's not the one who appeared on the field, but a folk fable. It's also a horse girl with a mysterious identity and long black hair. I think it's very interesting. Do you want to hear it?"

Rudolph crossed his hands and held his chin, with a look of 'whether you want to hear it or not, I really want to talk about it'.

Qi Zuo's cheeks twitched twice.

"think……"

"I knew it."

She nodded in satisfaction, and then began to talk.

"Actually, the story is very short. It is said that there was a horse girl. After hearing the story of the three goddesses, in order to chase after their figures, she began to constantly seek breakthroughs, and finally reached the extreme speed."

"Like the plots of many fables, the protagonist of the story runs non-stop throughout the night, forgetting to eat and sleep to improve her strength. When people ask her purpose, why is she so obsessed with the three goddesses—"

Rudolph's voice was calm, as if speaking to the air tank, and as if speaking to himself.

"She didn't say anything."

"You didn't say anything?"

"It's neither for competition nor for victory. The meaning of her running is purely to reach the other shore of speed that no one can touch."

"Run for the sake of running?"

"It can be understood in this way, but I don't think her behavior can be summed up in such a simple language."

"Simple yet complex..."

The air tank understood Rudolph's words.

However, just when Qi Chu thought that this topic that had nothing to do with work would stop here, Rudolph blinked and looked at her with purple eyes full of meaning.

"..."

"..."

"Air tank."

"what?"

"Don't you want to know how the story ends?"

"I……"

The other party blinked again.

The air tank holds the forehead,

"Think, I'm so curious, what is the ending of the story?"

As if he couldn’t vomit, Rudolph said, “The ending is surprising, and there are different versions circulating in different places.”

Some said that relying on Ma Niang's body, she reached the supreme realm of the Three Goddesses, and finally became an existence as famous as the Three Goddesses.

Some said that she became an unrivaled powerhouse in the world, but failed to realize her wish, and was still far away from the three goddesses.

It is also said that after she touched the realm of ultimate speed, her soul surpassed her body, just like light, and turned into an existence that could never be surpassed in the horse girl's world.

All kinds of endings emerge in endlessly, and there is no standard answer.

"Who wrote the story? It's been too long, and the author can no longer be found. Moreover, after various adaptations, the original story has changed beyond recognition. It's a pity that there is no original version."

"Um……"

Qi Chuo nodded half-understood.

"But no matter how you change it, this is just a very ordinary fable. Just like other fables, educating the current horse girl, as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded."

Why is the president so obsessed with this story?

"Indeed, in the vast sea of ​​books, this kind of fable looks very old. But ah..."

Rudolph changed his voice, "Every time I think of the black horse girl, I can't help but think of this fable in my head."

"On the field, there is no chasing victory, no desire for glory, just the back of running."

"This feeling is only backlogged in my heart, and I have always wanted to find someone to confide in..."

"President Rudolph."

Air Tank frowned.

"Are you a bit too busy at work recently?"

"Ok?"

"In order to publicize the winners of the competition, the Central Committee specially invited you to honor them. Except for some GI rewards, this has never happened before."

Even though Rudolph's tough personality prevents her from showing fatigue easily, it can be seen from the air tank that has worked with her for many years that Rudolph is already very tired.

Training time, the work of the student union, the work of the central government, the usual basic courses, and sometimes she needs to set aside time for a simulation match with the emperor. Not only that, but she also needs to always pay attention to the problems of the students in the academy.

In addition, Rudolph kept asking the central government about the progress of the investigation and progress records, which took a lot of time and energy.

The workload, which sounds terrible, lasted for half a month.

Even an iron man can't bear it.

Qi Chuan would rather she relieve the pressure with cold jokes than see her become neurotic.

"Maybe it's a bit busy." She straightened up, "But it's all necessary work."

"Even so, you don't have to bear it alone. Both me and Bai Ren are members of the student union. Your job is our job. Don't push yourself too hard."

Rudolph needs a break.

While Qi Tank was talking, the door of the student council room knocked three times and opened.

Narita Bairen walked in with a branch in his mouth.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"Bai Ren, have you finished your training?"

"Warm up your lower body a little bit, and I will go to formal training later."

Even so, just by getting close, one could feel the faint heat emanating from Narita Bairen's body.

It was obvious that he had just gone through an intensive training session.

But she took it as a warm-up.

"Is there anything I can do?" she asked.

"Not yet, I thought you would train until late."
