Anecdotes about Ma Niang in East China

Halfway through her words, Orihime quickly covered her mouth. She seemed to have just told some incredible truth.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhen Ji Ling to miss it. After the corner of his mouth raised an evil little devil-like smile, the reed-haired little devil repeated in a rather strange tone. "It appeared in a dream~ Then... what kind of dream was it?"

"...This is my privacy." Admire Orihime didn't want to explain, after all, some dreams were really hard to talk about.Just saying it is enough to make the fans who admire Orihime die. In order to survive in Tereson Academy, there is absolutely no way that I can say this out loud.

"Oh~ I see." Zhen Ji Ling said happily. If he didn't say anything, he would basically have said everything. If it wasn't a dream that was too shameful to be told, he wouldn't have concealed it at this time. It seems that he loves Orihime. Has it been conquered a long time ago?Is this 100%?No... maybe it's already [-]%?

In this case, if the other person was interested, they would have already dated him.

In other words, the difficulty is that the other party may really be dating Orihime-san as a friend, right?That would be troublesome. Even though Teresin College is known as a den for female address books, there are still a few straight women there.After all, only 50.00% of the graduates here are married with their classmates, and the remaining 30.00% are from the Tlove influence.

Looking at it this way, it would not be good if the classmate who admires Orihime is a straight girl with Tlove influence, but she is really smart and is not in a hurry, because she hasn't figured out the details yet.If the opponent is also bent, everything will be fine. Zhen Ji Ling looked at the conditions of his roommate. At this level, there is a saying that with his own assistance, the possibility of not being able to defeat the opponent is too small.

Unless - Zhen Ji Ling guessed the most unlikely thing.

That is, just like Dongcheng Kuaiju, there are a lot of guys staring at him eagerly.But no matter what, it’s not that unlucky, right?If you encounter this kind of unconscious female address book seducer, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

"No problem, just trust me as a master of love~" Zhen Ji Ling said confidently, "Anyway, listen to me first. Tomorrow you will do this and this first - and then this and this~"

-

Dongcheng Kuaiju, who was painting far away in Ma Niangzhuang, suddenly sneezed and his pen tilted. Come on, the lines he had finally drawn had to be ctrl+z again.Dongcheng Kuaiju sighed, "It can't be that someone is plotting against me, right?"

"Who would plot against you? Keep drawing. I'm also following the updates." Vega said while reading the comics.

"Well... forget it, Ali Digital, help me blacken this manuscript, please." Also helping in the room was Ali Digital. Last time Dongcheng Kuaiju helped her get the manuscript for the Summer Comic Con, So she volunteered to come to Dongcheng Kuaiju's room this time, and was responsible for helping Dongcheng Kuaiju complete the comics that she planned to display at the Summer Comic Expo.

This is also the job that the person in charge of the comic show found her for, with a dedicated booth and pretty good publicity.Although there was no intention to ask Dongcheng Kuaiju to appear on the scene, Dongcheng Kuaiju still asked Aili Digital, who knew the process better, to help.Of course, there will definitely be fees paid.

Of course, Ellie Digital agrees with it 100 million times. It is great news to be able to cooperate with Mr. Makoto Urobuchi.Therefore, in order to prepare the comic manuscripts for sale, Alli Digital and Dongcheng Kuaiju allocate some time to draw every night.

"Okay~" Ellie nodded digitally, "Does it just need to be painted black?"

"Yeah." Dongcheng Kuaiju paused, as if thinking about something.

——Speaking of which...it seems that I haven't responded to Miss Digital Ellie's confession yet?

Dongcheng Kuaiju then remembered that although Ali Digital had become one of his insiders, Dongcheng Kuaiju had never responded to Ali Digital's sudden confession.

But I'm still working now...forget it, I'll find a chance to respond alone next time.

Dongcheng Kuaiju sighed and continued to work.

No.17·Painting for you

"What happened?" Dongcheng Kuaiju asked with some concern as he stared at the admiring Orihime who was obviously not right in front of him.

"No...it's nothing." Admire Orihime avoided Dongcheng Kuaiju's sight and responded somewhat stiffly. "Nothing happened."

"Really?" Dongcheng Kuaiju still looked suspicious, but her reaction made the current admirer of Orihime even more embarrassed. "Orihime, you..."

"..." Admiring Orihime was silent and clutched her clothes tightly, "Is it... very strange?"

"Not really." Dongcheng Kuaiju shook her head, but her eyes were still a little suspicious, "So you just want to change your hairstyle?"

"That's right..." Aimu Orihime cut her hair with the help of Miss Jin Ji Ling. To be honest, this hairstyle is not too exaggerated. It's just that Aimu Orihime has never dressed herself up very much. In the past, she always looked the same. It was unnecessary, and even a little boring. As a result, this time not only the hairstyle was changed, but also a layer of light makeup was added.

I have to say that after Aimu Orihime dressed up a little, she had completely revealed Aimu Orihime's natural beauty.Even from Tojo Kuaiju's point of view, Admiring Orihime's current appearance is enough to attract a high rate of return.However, the sudden change somewhat surprised Dongcheng Kuaiju.

"Hmm... that's right, Orihime, you are also a girl of this period." Dongcheng Kuaiju threw the egg roll into his mouth and said vaguely while eating, "It's different from me, just dress up a little, It can attract a lot of people.”

"..." Admire Orihime raised her head and looked at Dongcheng Kuaiju, whose hair was almost hanging down to the ground opposite. In fact, although the two people were not much different in age, Dongcheng Kuaiju looked extremely petite. In front of him, Dongcheng Kuaiju was simply too small. Just like a junior high school student.Although this sentence is slightly offensive, I would not say it outright if I love Orihime.

It's just that Dongcheng Kuaiju has a sense of maturity that is far beyond what a horse racing girl of her age should have, so she has a wonderful little adult feel.In Dongcheng Kuaiju, there is a wonderful charm that coexists maturity and naivety, reliability and naivety. It can not only make people want to take care of her, but also turn the offensive to take care of others.

The charm of Tojo Kuaiju is a very complicated thing. You may not find it very attractive at first, but she can quickly eliminate the distance between people, just like the love between Orihime and Tojo Kuaiju. The relationship develops very quickly, as if she can easily do it if she wants to please others.

Aimu Orihime is not giving herself a pat on the back, but she thinks she is still difficult to get along with. Even under this difficulty, Dongcheng Kuaiju still became the person Aimu Orihime cares about in a short period of time. This is already very scary. efficiency.Therefore, those who admire Orihime have to consider the possibility that the other party may already have a girlfriend...

No...if it was Tojo Kuaiju, there was even a possibility of having many girlfriends - Adoring Orihime frowned somewhat sadly.It's also a worrying situation when the person she seems to care about is too attractive... although she doesn't really like Dongcheng Kuaijula ​​as Zhen Ji Ling said...

No... I just care a little bit...

That’s not right, it’s a bit too much to care, maybe I’m just slightly interested.

It may also be the sublimation of friendship, or maybe it's just a mistake in my own perception or something like that?Thinking about it this way, I don't need to think so much at all - probably.

However, as friends, you also have to remind the other person not to be too charming, and it’s okay if some cats and dogs get involved, right?Admiring Orihime, she nodded and spoke.

"Xiao Dongcheng, your words are very charming, or rather too charming. It's really disturbing." Admire Orihime tried her best to make her tone as casual as possible, but if you listen carefully, , I still feel a little vibrato and lack of confidence. "Xiao Dongcheng, is it possible that you want to have special relationships with many people?"

"Thank you, Orihime, you are so gentle... A person like me can actually praise you to this extent." Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't hear the implication at all. Socially, she only does this when she is attacking. She thinks carefully, but rarely over-interprets people who have become friends - there seems to be a line in her heart. After passing this line, she would overreact to any words in a strange period. She will completely ignore other elements in the words. To put it simply, before getting familiar with her, she is a pure social phobic, but after getting familiar with her, her trust in people is almost full.

From the beginning to the end, she is a sincere friend who is so sincere that she has nothing to say. This is also one of the things that most people like most about her. She can bring everyone a sense of security. As long as she is her, there will be no Worried about being betrayed or deceived, she will always trust her friends. Even if she knows that the other person's mind is not pure, she will act for her friends.

Purity, firmness, gentleness, and self-sacrifice. When these qualities are combined, they are probably the basis of Dongcheng Kuaiju's charm. Although she herself does not think this is a great thing, but for most horse racing girls, or big people, For some people, no one would hate such a person.

But...just because of this...the friendship between people around Dongcheng Kuaiju will naturally deteriorate——

A reassuring person can be both a best friend and a sought-after lover.This is not a conflict -

Even if it develops into a religion with Dongcheng Kuaiju as its core, it might not be a strange thing, right?Admiring Orihime, she thought, of course, if it were her, she would prefer a star or a constellation for Dongcheng Kuaiju to be named after.She would definitely go look at the star every night.

"Speaking of which, Orihime, you took me to see the stars yesterday. I looked for them, and it turns out that the stars that can be seen in the sky in spring are different from other times." Dongcheng Kuaiju looked at his admiration for Orihime and was a little distracted. I was wondering if I had too few topics to talk about, and was a bit left out.So the topic of admiring Orihime that might be of interest was brought up. "This is the first time I know about it, but it must be common knowledge to you, Orihime. But I also like stars. After all, one of the reasons why I like painting is Van Gogh's starry sky. "

"...Starry sky?" Admire Orihime was stunned, "That... seems to be a very powerful painting, right?"

"Yes, it's a very powerful painting. It's something I can't even dream of. It's a historical treasure that can be passed down for thousands of hundreds of years." Dongcheng Kuaiju inevitably showed a nostalgic expression, "When I could get a glimpse of the original painting, it was really I'm so lucky. Even the Mona Lisa didn't shock me that much."

Perhaps the excitement and enthusiasm that he naturally showed after talking about what he liked was a bit too obvious. The appearance of Tojo Kuaiju now made Admiring Orihime smile wonderfully. Maybe he and Tojo Kuaiju went to see the stars together. At that time, my appearance was probably similar to now.

"Xiao Dongcheng, you... really like painting?" Admire Orihime whispered, "But I don't seem to have heard of you showing signs of painting. Are you hiding it?"

"...Ah..." Dongcheng Kuaiju froze, "Well...my level is not good enough."

She didn't lie. Although the comics were indeed popular on Twitter, her level was still far away from the level of a [painter] at best, even though she was already quite far from the time she traveled through time. There has been progress, but what has improved more is the narrative rhythm and story telling at the comic level. The improvement in painting skills cannot be said to be lackluster, but only limited.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Dongcheng Kuaiju had already reached the bottleneck of the painting skill tree before traveling through time. The next step would be quite difficult to take.Of course, when I step out, I will probably be like my senior sister and can call myself a [painter].But she got stuck on this step——

Recently, I really feel like I have an opportunity to take a step forward, probably because of the inspiration I felt when I wrote a letter to my admirer Orihime with Vega a few days ago, but that is not enough, maybe only when she can be there anytime, anywhere. Only when she can express this emotion on a painting can she be called a [painter].

Although she is a little rude now, she can really only be said to be [the limit of a mortal].It is not that easy for mortals to cross that chasm.

"Then... I really want to see Xiao Dongcheng's paintings..." Admire Orihime felt the loneliness in the other person's words. Her love for painting is unquestionable. In Dongcheng Kuaiju's heart, her love for painting Is it bigger than racing? Rather, racing is just a new hobby that Dongcheng Kuaiju gradually became interested in after she came into contact with those respectable people in this world. Painting is her favorite thing from her previous life to the present.

Just like the stars are placed in admiration for Orihime, the painting is placed in Tojo Kuaiju.

"If you want it, Orihime, then I might as well bring the drawing board over tomorrow and I can draw a portrait for you, right?" Dongcheng Kuaiju thought for a while, and then asked tentatively. "Although I'm not a very powerful person, I might disappoint you."

"No, no, no! I'm very happy! I'm very happy." Admire Orihime looked at Dongcheng Kuaiju's words that although she offered to let herself be a model, she felt that her skills were insufficient, and she felt that she would not be able to do anything after passing this village. Orihime, who admires this store, quickly nodded in agreement.

"That's it... Then I'll bring the easel over tomorrow." Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded. In fact, what she draws most recently is panel painting, but considering the situation of giving it away, it is definitely better to just paint on panel. It is more meaningful to draw an oil painting directly with an easel.

"Okay, do you need help?" Admire Orihime is of course looking forward to it. Since she wants to draw a painting about herself, the time she spends with Dongcheng Kuaiju will also increase accordingly. Of course, it will be of great benefit to her. Harmful.

"All I need is Orihime to take some time to yourself. Don't worry. You don't have to stay motionless all the time. As long as you plan your movements, I just need to check on you occasionally. And if it doesn't work, I can still There is such a thing as photos." Dongcheng Kuaiju said with a smile, "With modern methods, many things no longer need to be so complicated."

"Isn't it better to use a photo than a real person?" Admire Orihime was a little concerned about this, "I can do it at any time."

"Ah haha, but it's very tiring for the real person to keep the posture all the time." Tojo Kaiju said with a smile, but at this time, the admiring Orihime didn't know what kind of hell he was talking about. After all, he wanted to keep it all the time. Keeping your movements straight and out of shape is quite a skill.

However, Dongcheng Kuaiju's words still made Aimu Orihime very happy - it made her appetite slightly increase.

-

When Admiring Orihime returned to the dormitory, Jinji Ling had already prepared the gossip. Today, she personally dressed up Admiring Orihime to a point where the rate of turning heads was over 90.00%.Always check and accept the results. "I admire Corporal Orihime, please report back to me as soon as possible!"

"...Why did you really bring a feather fan..." Admire Orihime looked at her roommate who was obviously in love with her, and complained speechlessly, "You won't bring a wheelchair here tomorrow, will you?"

"Tsk, you really don't know how to feel romantic when you admire Orihime-san." Shin Ji Ling waved the feather fan in his hand, "Anyway, how is the development going?"

"...She complimented me on how pretty I look." Admire Orihime said in a low voice.Thinking of the way Dongcheng Kuaiju praised her, she felt fine at the time, but now she feels a little shy. “And she told me a few things about herself and it was a great atmosphere.”

"Hmph, hey, as I expected, Orihime-san is also doing very well. Keep up the good work and never forget your original intention." Zhen Ji Ling gently shook his feather fan and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Isn't this developing very well?"

"And...she plans to draw a portrait for me." Admire Orihime is more concerned about this. To be honest, she has never thought of such a thing.When Dongcheng Kuaiju brought it up, her mind was blank. Then she immediately realized that this kind of thing is rare. After all, when a painter is willing to draw for you for free, it means that she already cares about you. .

She could still understand this, so she immediately agreed.And when she was a model, she could spend more time with Dongcheng Kuaiju. This was what she cared about.

"That's a good thing - portrait painting... huh? Wait, portrait painting?" Zhen Ji Ling thought the progress was good at first, and then suddenly realized something, "This person you know is still a painter?"

"She denied it herself. She said that her level is not yet at the level of a painter. I haven't seen her paintings, so I don't know very well..." Admire Orihime replied honestly, "What's wrong?"

"No... I just feel a little familiar." Zhenji Ling touched her chin, but she didn't think much about it. "But this is definitely a good thing. During your time as a model, you have to work hard! Try to win it!"

Chapter 18·New goals

Adoring Orihime didn't expect that being a model would be harder than she imagined, and it wasn't that tiring. In fact, Tojo Kuaiju is quite humane. Most of the time, Adoring Orihime doesn't ask her to do anything, but only occasionally asks her to raise her arms. , or turn around, or move slightly away or closer.

These are not troublesome situations, and with the blessing of photos, it is completely enough for Dongcheng Kuaiju.But what was difficult for the admirer of Orihime was the sight of Tojo Kuaiju.

When Dongcheng Kuaiju focuses on painting, his attention is extremely concentrated, especially when observing the model, Admiration Orihime. It is really like staring at his passionate lover. Admiration Orihime feels Dongcheng Kuaiju's With his sight, he had the illusion that his whole body was being seen.

——Actually, this is correct. When Dongcheng Kuaiju observes and admires Orihime, he will indeed think about the body curves and the posture of the body without clothes.In a sense, in her eyes, the current Orihime she admires is completely naked.

Admiring Orihime, she always gets nervous and sweats involuntarily when she is under such intense gazes, and even begins to wonder if there is anything in her body that Tojo Kuaiju might not like, or that might be a shortcoming, but she doesn't dare. If I really ask, it's like I'm in a visual hell.

Shame, worry - and a trace of joy, together made the admiration for Orihime enter a particularly complicated psychological struggle.She never imagined that being a model would be such an indescribable experience.However, the more serious Dongcheng Kuaiju is, it shows how important her portrait is to her psychology, and the other party's emotional admiration for Orihime can also be felt.

So she did not stop Dongcheng Kuaiju's observation, but continued for half an hour. Dongcheng Kuaiju stopped writing when class was about to start.

"Sorry - the progress is slower than expected." Dongcheng Kuaiju apologized sincerely. "It may take some time to complete."

"Is there something wrong with me?" Admire Orihime was a little nervous, "Do you need me to make any corrections?"

"No, no, you misunderstood. Orihime, you did a good job, the problem is with me." Dongcheng Kuaiju shook his head in embarrassment and said a little shyly. "This is also my first time painting a portrait for a friend alone, so I am inevitably a little nervous. But I have done it before when I was a model. You can only say that I am not very mature yet, right?"

"That's it..." Aimu Orihime breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that something had just happened to her. "Then... can you show me the current painting?"

"...No." Dongcheng Kuaiju was stunned for a moment, then shook his head silently, "That...if you show the unfinished painting to others, you always feel a strange sense of shame."

"That's right - let's wait until the painting is finished." Admire Orihime nodded, "Will you also paint here from now on?"

"Well, if it's convenient for you." Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded. She originally thought it would only take two or three days at most, but judging from the current progress, it will take at least a week.This did take a lot longer than expected. "If you stay here every day, the progress should be faster."

"Okay, it's okay if it's convenient for you." Admire Orihime didn't have any objections. After all, it would be nice to be able to spend more time with Dongcheng Kuaiju.

Wouldn't it be better to proceed more slowly?Adoring Orihime thought, but she was also looking forward to the physical form of the portrait that Tojo Kuaiju painted for her.Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't notice her admiration for Orihime. She only felt that her painting skills seemed to have improved slightly than before. Although it was only a very small improvement, it was enough for Dongcheng Kuaiju who was in the bottleneck period. Happy.

Maybe after she finishes this painting, she will be able to make a breakthrough - at least that's what she thinks.

During the training that afternoon, Dongcheng Kuaiju was also a little absent-minded. After all, his real hobby has made progress. For a person who was once obsessed with art, he would be somewhat distracted by creation.However, this attitude is obviously not suitable for showing during training.

After completing the routine training, Dongcheng Kuaiju sat in the rest area absentmindedly, with the painting in his mind. Rei, who saw something was wrong with her situation, quickly came to her side with a towel. "Little Dongcheng?"

"Hmm...huh?!" Dongcheng Kuaiju was called like this, and he returned to reality from the picture in his mind. He looked at the worried Lian beside him and asked with some doubts. "What's wrong?"

"I just feel that you are a little absent-minded. Did something happen?" Lian did not directly blame Dongcheng Kuaiju. She knew that Dongcheng Kuaiju was a very serious person. It is estimated that something really happened that made her very angry. This would only happen if she cared about something, so she decided to ask if there was anything she needed help with first. "It seems that your current condition is not suitable for training. Otherwise, the training in the afternoon will be temporarily canceled. I think Tooko will agree to it."

Dongcheng Kuaiju's situation is very special. Her data growth began to slow down after the three championships. It's not that Yuanzi doesn't want to find someone to run training races for Dongcheng Kuaiju to increase her attributes, but she also noticed it. It seemed that she was willing to The racing girls who promised to run the Dongcheng Kuaibo training race came over and the results were far less effective than before.

The current attributes of Dongcheng Kuaiju have reached the level of Speed, A, Endurance, B, Strength, B, Roots, C, Intelligence, A+. The growth of attributes after this stage is much slower than that in the classic years, which may also mean that the period of rapid growth of Dongcheng Kuaiju has ended. In the past, although this attribute has already crushed most of the horse racing girls of the same period.

But this also means that the current Dongcheng Kuaiju's ordinary training and simulation games are of little use. If it really comes down to it, it may have to try to run some games to replace training with games.However, although the combat training method has advantages, the disadvantages are even greater. Competitions are not training, and the probability of problems in competitions is much greater than training. If there are any consequences due to excessive competition and overwork, the gains will outweigh the losses.

The main reason why Dongcheng Kuaiju keeps training now is to maintain competitive status. This year's plan for the Year of the Ancient Horse is actually to start running at the Arc de Triomphe directly after the Takarazuka Memorial. As for how many competitions to participate in before the Takarazuka Memorial, that is mainly to see How is Dongcheng Kuaiju's physical condition?

My current plan is to run the GII-level Hanshin Grand Prize and then go straight to the Takarazuka Memorial. If I win the Takarazuka Memorial, then I can try to go to the Arc de Triomphe Prize.Although there is Tianchun among them, Dongcheng Kuaiju is really bad at long distance. Without the blessing of Qiong, the winning rate of challenging Tianchun is really limited.

Under such circumstances, it is not an exaggeration for Dongcheng Kuaiju to want to take a break without training.After all, just like her painting progress, her training has also reached a bottleneck.

"It can't be canceled directly. After all, there is still the Hanshin Grand Prize to run." Tojo Kaiju shook his head. Although there is no need to worry, Tooko also told himself that his current hard power, or panel strength, is It’s no problem that Japan is the strongest in active duty.After all, the only thing that has defeated him is the golden ship, and the golden ship has completed its final beauty and retired.

It is estimated that this year's hall horse should be Golden Boat, but it is precisely because of this that Dongcheng Kuaiju is now recognized as the strongest horse racing girl in Japan.Although the title of Japan's strongest is a little heavy for Dongcheng Kuaiju.

So when you fall into a bottleneck period, what should you do?Dongcheng Kuaiju is also thinking, if training alone is useless, then why not just try to complete his field?

Dongcheng Kuaiju's domain has always been an unfinished version, which has always been Dongcheng Kuaiju's biggest weakness. Although she has entered the portal of the domain, she is unable to complete the unique domain because of her lack of personality.This matter can be said to be unheard of, but in fact Dongcheng Kuaiju also knows that it may be because his soul is a human soul after all, so it is already amazing that he can support the field of the horse racing girl.

As for completing the realm—then maybe you really need to ask the three goddesses.

"Your current status shouldn't be difficult in the country, but considering the Arc de Triomphe, your strength may still have room for improvement." At this time, Touko also rushed over. The situation of Dongcheng Kuaiju and what Lian said were Of course she knows things better, and with the Eye of Bole given to her by the three goddesses, she can completely see that Dongcheng Kuaiju's current situation may not be something that can be broken through training.

As for fields and the like, it's not a problem she can solve - this kind of thing is too metaphysical.

"I understand, I will try my best to break through the current bottleneck." Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded, "Training still needs to continue, even if it is a meager improvement, but at least it can maintain my competitive state. As for the training match... "

"The training matches have continued, but it would be better to invite some seniors from Xiaodongcheng who have not practiced against each other to try it out?" Rei also put forward his own opinion. "For example, Oguri Hat-senpai?"

"...You really gave me a problem when you opened your mouth. It's not that easy to invite Oguri Hat." Tooko scratched her head and said to herself that Oguri Hat is a horse racing girl with the national idol level, even if she is retired. He has been a very popular Legend Cup player for a long time, so the possibility of inviting Oguri Hat to participate in a training match is really low.

It’s not like every legendary horse race girl is as thirsty for talent as the symbol of Lu Duo, and is even willing to come over to participate in training matches by herself.

"Speaking of which... although there seems to be no other choice for domestic GIs besides Osaka Cup Tenchun - but over there in Hong Kong..." At this time, Chu Lian touched his chin and suddenly remembered this situation.At this moment, the trio's eyes immediately lit up, "Yes! There are also speed horse racing events in Hong Kong."
