A cute girl’s heart is capable of anything

...I will no longer be separated by such a long distance from you like before.

The fighting spirit of the black-haired pony girl seemed to have a fire burning in her eyes.

Please save this school that is about to be abandoned! : Chapter 124: In good condition

...I will never lose to you in this game again.

With the help of the staff, the pony girl walked into the gate and said silently in her heart.

You will no longer be more than five horse lengths away from me.

I will no longer have to stare at your back and run forward.

In this game, I will show you all the strength I have so far!

"Tread! Tread!"

The pony girl twitched her ears when she heard the repeated sound of stepping on the grass coming from Gate [-] next door.

... Are you doing your usual pre-match preparations?

Ponygirl leaned down and counted the numbers in her mind.

Finally, I can compete in the same arena with you again.

An excited smile appeared on the pony girl's face.

"..."

The black-haired horse girl standing in the gate frowned.

What is this strange feeling?

Feeling the uncomfortable feeling like being scratched by a clothing label on the back of her neck, Qingzhu Fengya turned her head and looked at the numbers 1-9 in front of her.

...Have you met Ma Niang who has been strengthened by her 'essence'?

Qingzhu Fengya suddenly remembered what the three goddesses had said to him before.

So this is how it feels to meet a horse girl who has been enhanced by her 'essence' in a competition?

Feeling the feeling like light on the body, Qingzhu Fengya who felt novel about it thought so.

Now that we have met, let me see how strong Ma Niang is after being strengthened by her 'essence'!

The elegance of green bamboo is eager to try.

"...Why do I feel like there's something wrong with Fengya?"

In the audience, Saito Asuka looked at the black-haired horse girl who had successfully entered the gate, frowning, as if mumbling to herself.

"Not quite right? Is there any?"

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Zhongshan Hui narrowed her eyes and stared at Qingzhu Fengya in the gate for a long time: "I think Xiao Fengya is no different now than usual?"

"..."

Saito Asuka stared at Qingzhu Fengya, but couldn't explain why.

After all, as Qingzhu Fengya's trainer, this was the first time he saw the black-haired horse girl showing such an uncomfortable expression.

...After Qingzhu Fengya completed entering the gate in previous competitions, she would either smile and say hello to the horse girl next to her, or she would just lean down and stare at the closed gate in front of her, getting ready to start with a smile on her face.

...Did some horse girl use the brake technique?

Naturally, such an idea popped into Saito Asuka's head.

No...it shouldn't be, right?

The game hasn't started yet. How much benefit can you get from using the gate skills so early?

It's just too late to let her go out of her way, right?

Saito Asuka thought with a frown.

...Forget it, let’s watch the game first.

I believe Qingzhu Fengya will be able to handle it well.

……

"Bam—!"

The moment the closed gate in front of them was opened, all the horse ladies subconsciously rushed out.

"Game start!"

The commentator's voice sounded at the right time: "Qingzhu Fengya took the lead, rushed to the lead position and started to lead!"

"Behind her, the distance between the two horse ladies No. [-] and No. [-] is not that big!"

"All participating horse girls have found their positions, and the team is starting to take shape!"

"But! Qingzhu Fengya, who is in the lead position, is still accelerating!"

"Is she planning to gain a distance of more than five lengths at the beginning of the race?! Could it be that she wants to cross the finish line with a big gap in this race?!"

Don't even think about it!

The pony girl's eyes narrowed.

Behind her, a foot-tearing beast invisible to all the horse girls raised its front hooves and neighed.

Immediately afterwards, chains shot out from behind her, swarming towards Qingzhu Fengya like poisonous snakes.

【Escape Horse to Contain】!

After catching up with the horse girls who used the escape method in this competition, the invisible chains wrapped around their calves, stalling their running movements.

But Qingzhu Fengya, who was running at the front of the team, seemed to have eyes on the back of her head. She suddenly accelerated just before the chain was about to wrap around her left leg, causing the invisible chain to fly away.

"Oops... It was such a close call, I almost got hit."

Listening to the "crash" sound behind him, Qingzhu Fengya glanced behind him fearfully.

She happened to meet the other person's eyes. After seeing the other person staring at her, she muttered softly: "... She obviously looks like a very cute child, why is the expression on her face so fierce?"

【Do you still have time to talk? 】

The voice of the three goddesses rang in her mind: [Do you want to be chained by that child and never be able to escape? 】

"Three goddesses, what are you talking about?"

Qingzhu Fengya blinked doubtfully: "Hasn't she already let go of her gate skills?"

[She has used the gate technique, which is good, but...]

Before the three goddesses could finish these words, Qingzhu Fengya felt that the uncomfortable feeling that made her feel like a light became more obvious.

In Qingzhu Fengya's astonished eyes, a mist surged out of the petite and cute-looking Ma Niang again.

She watched the mist condense in her eyes, take shape, and turn into a big hand, swatting at her menacingly like a mosquito.

[But... have you ever thought that in addition to the skill released at the beginning of the game, that kid also has other gate skills? 】

Then, the voice of the three goddesses came belatedly.

"Hey, yeah, yeah! What is that?!"

Qingzhu Fengya, who was frightened by the big hand that suddenly appeared in the air, turned pale and let out a cute scream.

...Why did ordinary daily life suddenly become fantasy? !

【Come on for the competition. 】

When Qingzhu Fengya started to speed up, she heard the three goddesses couldn't help but laugh after saying this, and then there was no more movement.

Wait... you just leave like this?

If this hand really hits me, will it really not have any impact on me?

Wow ah ah - it's really going to fall!

Run quickly——!

"Qingzhu Fengya is still accelerating and continues to lead the front line of the team."

"The team at the rear is still stable, and no horse girl has chosen to speed up when passing the first corner."

"The position of the team behind Qingzhu Fengya has not changed significantly. Every horse girl is running on the Yayoi Prize field at her own pace."

"But Qingzhu Fengya is gradually widening the distance between her and the team. The players must control the distance."

The short-haired woman sitting next to the green-haired commentator continued her words.

"But speaking of it, this is the first competition Qingzhu Fengya has participated in this year."

Seeing that Ma Niang's team had begun to stabilize, the two commentators began to change the topic to other aspects.

"Although she is only participating in her first game now, judging from her current condition, there should be no problem participating in this year's classic Triple Crown event."

"It seems that our worries and speculations during this period are unnecessary."

Please save this school that is about to be abandoned! : Chapter 125: Brake Horse

【Run away from the horse】

【Anxiety of running away from a horse】

【Prior containment】

【Anxiety in advance】

[Sharp eyes]...

Qingzhu Fengya managed to escape, but those Ma Niang who couldn't escape did not have such an easy time.

The moment the transparent chain wrapped around their calves, they felt their bodies sink, as if they were doing weight-bearing exercises, and their legs suddenly became heavy for some unknown reason.

Then, before they could react, a faint feeling of anxiety appeared in their hearts.

...Look, she has already run so far. If she doesn’t speed up, she really won’t be able to catch up~?

It was as if a voice was whispering this sentence in their heads, repeating it constantly, making them feel anxious.

——Damn it, there is a gate species!

The horse girls who reacted quickly looked behind them in unison.

...How dare you?

Can one person stop so many of us?

But when they met the eyes of the pony girl using the gate technique, they felt as if they were being stared at.

...Why are you looking so fierce?

The horse girls looked back.

...the gate is the gate,

The imprisoned horse girls thought aggrievedly in their hearts.

"...There is indeed something wrong with Qingzhu Fengya."

Looking at the leading Qingzhu Fengya, Zhongshan Hui, who also saw some clues, frowned.

"No, it's not just Fengya who is wrong."

Saito Asuka shook his head: "There is something wrong with all the horse girls participating in this competition today."

"why?"

Zhongshan Hui asked curiously: "...what is the difference?"

"Rhythm."

Saito Asuka, who was watching the field closely, replied briefly: "...Don't you think the pace of today's game is faster than any previous games Aotake Fuga has participated in?"

As he said this, he took out his mobile phone and showed Megumi Nakayama the current time.

"It's really faster."
