Black Knight’s conversation ability was like full-body airtight armor—there was really almost no place to attack.
Ending all kinds of topics was effortless.
And throughout the whole process, Black Knight spoke extremely few words, practically to the point of treasuring every word like gold.
This also increased her conversation-killer ability by another few degrees.
Anyway, this unfamiliar girl instantly fell into awkwardness because of her conversation with Black Knight.
Even the corners of her mouth and eyes were starting to become uncontrollable because of Black Knight’s words.
“Um, my name is Special Week. May I ask your name?” Although the topic ended quickly, the curiosity and surprise in her heart still made the girl—Special Week—choose to keep trying to talk with Black Knight.
Because she really had never seen another Umamusume since she was little.
Or rather, aside from on TV and in newspapers, Special Week had never seen other Umamusume anywhere else.
Because there were no other Umamusume, and Umamusume were too fast and relatively strong, Special Week had no other friends.
But today, Special Week was about to board the train heading to the city where Tracen Academy was located, yet at the station she saw another Umamusume.
Finally, finally she’d met one of her own kind!
Special Week was very happy and very curious.
Her mood could be described as extra excited, so even though Black Knight acted like a conversation-killer, Special Week didn’t give up talking.
“Black Knight.”
“Oh! Um, Miss Black Knight-san, where’s your home?” Special Week sat down next to Black Knight, looking at the expressionless Black Knight with full enthusiasm.
“…” Silence was the best answer right now, because Black Knight herself didn’t know how to say it.
After all, the information was all fake, and she hadn’t memorized it, so even she didn’t know what her own info was.
“…Um…” Black Knight just kept staring at Special Week, making Special Week awkward again, to the point she started wondering if she was just bad at chatting.
“…I’m going to compete.” Finally, seeing the other girl so awkward and pitiful, Black Knight felt embarrassed to keep messing with her, so she took the initiative to speak.
“Huh? C-compete!?” Hearing Black Knight finally speak on her own, Special Week was naturally very happy, but what the other said instantly made Special Week excited.
“S-so amazing! I-in other words, you’re also going to Central? To Central to compete?!” Special Week’s eyes were full of surprise, and even a little bit of admiration.
“Mm.” Black Knight nodded, her expression still unchanged.
“Wow!” Special Week was left with only “wow” now.
She really hadn’t expected to meet another Umamusume before departing, and one who was going to compete at that.
Special Week had always been looking forward to it, because she definitely had to become Japan’s strongest Umamusume.
And to become Japan’s strongest, she definitely had to compete.
“Miss Black Knight-san, you must be really amazing, right?”
“It’s okay.” Black Knight didn’t know what her true level was, but overall, she should at least be able to run an OP race, right?
“By the way, why is Miss Black Knight-san taking the train here? I’ve never seen Miss Black Knight-san around here before.”
“I just came recently.”
“Then Miss Black Knight-san…”
Just as Special Week was about to keep pestering Black Knight to talk about something else, Miss Feiyuan-sensei finally came back after buying the tickets.
“I didn’t think I’d see you again.”
“Hahaha, your skin’s aged well too.”
But Miss Feiyuan-sensei didn’t come back alone.
For some reason, beside her was a woman with short blond hair who looked like a foreigner.
In this woman’s hands, she was holding a large sign.
The two were chatting up a storm.
Clearly they knew each other.
Seeing the two arrive, Black Knight was about to walk over, but Special Week stood up before her and shouted toward the two: “Mom!”
“Oh!” With Special Week’s shout, the blond woman immediately responded.
However, Black Knight was stunned.
She turned to look at the blond woman, then at the black-haired Special Week.
This could only be blamed on the wonders of 2D, right?
Blond hair could give birth to black hair?
No, no.
From what she understood, in this world, Uma could only give birth to Uma.
Human women couldn’t give birth to Uma.
“See, this is my adopted daughter, Special Week—how about it? An Uma who looks really strong at a glance, right?” The blond woman walked up to the two and smilingly introduced Special Week to Feiyuan-sensei.
“Mm, she really is a good seed.” Feiyuan-sensei looked at Special Week, an enthusiastic child.
Truly a good start.
That kind of praise made her a little embarrassed.
“Special Week, this is an old friend of mine. Just call her Auntie Feiyuan.” The adoptive mother introduced Feiyuan-sensei to Special Week, and briefly explained their relationship.
Actually, Special Week’s adoptive mother’s acquaintance and relationship with Feiyuan-sensei was inherited from Little Week’s mother.
Feiyuan-sensei and she could barely count as friends.
Though they didn’t know each other well, their relationship definitely wasn’t bad.
“She’s taking her student to Central, so if you have any problems later, just ask Auntie Feiyuan.”
“Ah!
Thank you very much!” Special Week immediately bowed to Feiyuan-sensei upon hearing that, then immediately thought of something: “By the way, Auntie Feiyuan, your student, could it be…”
“Mm, it’s this Miss Black Knight-san sitting with you.” Feiyuan-sensei extended a hand to indicate, and Black Knight timely stood beside Special Week.
“Huh? Th-this is such a coincidence?” Special Week looked at Feiyuan-sensei, then at Black Knight, and suddenly felt this world was really too coincidental!
She couldn’t see a single Uma when she didn’t go out, but the moment she went out, she met two.
As expected, she still needed to go out and walk around.
Maybe she’d meet even more friends.
“Alright, Little Week, the train’s about to depart. Hurry and get on to pick a seat.” Although the few of them really wanted to chat more, time waited for no one.
It wasn’t long until the train departed.
“Here, take your ticket and get ready to board.” The adoptive mother took out a ticket and a card and handed them to Special Week.
Special Week was very obedient and immediately put both items into her pocket.
“Then, Little Week, Black Knight, we’re setting off.” Seeing Special Week was ready, Miss Feiyuan-sensei couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
This child really was like her mother when she was young.
“Mm.” The two nodded, except one nodded vigorously, and the other somewhat perfunctorily.
“By the way, Little Week!” As if remembering something, the adoptive mother called out to Special Week again.
“Hm?”
Special Week turned back, only to find her adoptive mother holding up a huge sign, standing there.
And on that sign was written: Become Japan’s Number One, Special Week.
“Waaaaah! Mom! Put that away! So embarrassing!”
