She had to admit, the moment she used this template, Screaming Shriek was scared by her own voice.
Because when Screaming Shriek opened her mouth to speak, her voice was completely not as bad as her skill would make one imagine.
Instead, it could be said to be unbelievably pleasant.
Her voice was soft and sweet, and she looked cute.
She didn’t seem at all like the type who could make every Umamusume on the track feel terror just by letting out a howl.
Or rather, with this voice, she felt that instead of going out to howl, this Screaming Shriek might as well just say to the Umamusume next to her: “Hey handsome, come play~”
Maybe after saying that, she’d directly inflict a charm status on the Umamusume next to her, and then have them pull her along as she ran?
Of course, after hearing her true voice, Screaming Shriek also tried out her template’s skill called [Terrifying Roar], wanting to see what this skill was actually like.
And then…
TMD, don’t even mention it.
That sound was terrifying even to her own ears, practically comparable to the roar of a mutated monster from a horror movie.
So how exactly did this throat produce such a terrifying roar?
Was this Umamusume still a normal Umamusume?
Could she be a monster wearing horse skin?
However, although the roar made it feel like your heart was about to stop, after roaring, Screaming Shriek felt a captivating sense of comfort, a feeling as if she’d been reborn from the inside out.
It was as if this soft and sticky exterior was just an illusion, an empty shell, and deep in her heart, the monster craving to roar was Screaming Shriek’s purest essence.
This template’s situation was like… there was a monster living deep inside her heart.
That’s kind of scary, hey!
This kind of existence clearly wasn’t a righteous character, right?
Clearly it was an existence full of villainous aura just like Tyrant!
She’d be beaten up by the protagonist team, right?
Absolutely would be surrounded and beaten by the protagonist team!
But then…
Screaming Shriek looked at the emotion points that had become very large thanks to Black Knight—even after paying back the little light ball, there were probably over 30,000—then looked at the gacha interface, at the Umamusume named Barrier Boulder who also looked like a villain.
A wonderful idea began to surface in her heart.
And wasn’t this one of her advantages?
“Little Light Ball.” Thinking of this, Screaming Shriek’s expression gradually darkened, and a villain-like aura began burning on her.
“Huh? Wh-why are you smiling so creepily?” The little light ball, summoned out, looked at Screaming Shriek’s terrifying appearance and felt a bit scared.
This expression—had its host awakened something strange?
Like tying it up and playing with it like a yo-yo or something?
“F-fine, I won’t make you pay me back, just please don’t smile like that, okay?”
“Little Light Ball, let’s—create the Dark Umamusume World!” Screaming Shriek turned her head, and a villain-like smile with no self-awareness appeared on her face, making her look very… This chapter is updated first at novelping dot com.
—Punchable.
“…Hah?” After hearing Screaming Shriek’s words, the little light ball was completely dumbfounded, as if it had heard that DIO had really worked hard to use his legal knowledge to become a normal judge, or that JOJO had put on the Stone Mask himself.
“No, what the hell? Did you get carried away because you have money now?”
“No, I’m serious.” Screaming Shriek shook her head, then as if thinking of something, nodded affirmatively: “Of course, it might also really be because I have money and got carried away.”
“…” Damn, you’re pretty self-aware.
“The reason I have this plan is because after seeing Tyrant’s expression and skills, and feeling Screaming Shriek’s roar, I thought of it.”
“These Umamusume clearly aren’t proper Umamusume at a glance. Every one of them has a villain’s face. No matter how you look at it, they don’t fit normal Umamusume values. In the future, they’ll probably be surrounded and beaten by the protagonist team.”
“But since I drew them, I definitely have to use them to their fullest. I can’t just abandon them because they have villain faces and villain skills, just because the protagonist team would, right?”
“So, I thought of the so-called Dark Umamusume World! Put all my templates that look like villains, and some that don’t seem that impressive, all in there to fill the numbers.”
“And as everyone knows, a world can only have one big villain! And as long as I’m the biggest villain, then this world won’t have any other villains! That way, only I scheme against others, and others can’t scheme against me!”
“Anyway, I’m going to start doing the whole ‘a group besieges one’ thing eventually. Me making a Dark Umamusume World to oppose the protagonist team head-on and farm emotion points isn’t too much, right?”
“Then… what about Umamusume like Black Knight and Little Kangbai-chan?” Although the plan sounded unreliable, the little light ball still decided to keep supporting its host.
“Since there’s a Dark Umamusume World, then there definitely have to be people who oppose the Dark Umamusume World—you didn’t think I was only focused on fighting the protagonist team, did you?”
Screaming Shriek wagged her finger, looking like the little light ball was still too young.
“Our tactic is multi bread cheese sandwich plus internal-external cooperation! That doesn’t change. It’s just that now, the ‘Dark Umamusume World’ does the external cooperation and multi bread cheese sandwich, while Black Knight, Little Kangbai-chan, and the others resist the ‘Dark Umamusume World.'”
“Of course, now that I have money, it’s still far from enough! After all, to shock the world, we definitely need more and stronger Umamusume, preferably forming a BOSS team!”
“So right now this plan is only a prototype. And we need a reason to call it the Dark Umamusume World—we can’t just call it that because we like the name, right?”
Although she had a rough plan, Screaming Shriek still needed more detailed planning, especially for this team that would be entirely her own templates in the future—what goal should it have?
Should she learn from the Dark Cooking World’s scheme of using cooking to control the Central Plains?
It wasn’t impossible, but they used cooking to control.
How would she control?
With her feet?
……
It wasn’t until it was completely dark that Miss Feiyuan-sensei finally found Black Knight drinking juice in a bar.
Black Knight looked at Feiyuan-sensei too, but she didn’t speak.
She just patted the empty seat beside her, telling Miss Feiyuan-sensei to sit down.
“…” Looking at the expressionless Black Knight, Feiyuan-sensei also sighed, always feeling that all the words she’d prepared were now useless.
Slowly sitting down beside Black Knight, Feiyuan-sensei glanced at the expressionless Black Knight again, then sighed and prepared to take the initiative to start a conversation.
“Why didn’t you go to the Winner’s Stage? You used to watch the Winner’s Stage on TV often, didn’t you?”
Every Umamusume looked forward to the moment they could step onto the Winner’s Stage, not just because it was a symbol of glory, but also because it was each Umamusume’s most shining moment.
Black Knight shook her head, looking indifferent: “I can’t. And it’s not enough.” Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“If it’s dancing, I can teach you. Although I might not dance as well as I used to, I definitely still have some skills.”
“…I don’t like it.” Black Knight glanced at Feiyuan-sensei, then shook her head again, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.
“The stage, it’s very bright, lots of people watching—I don’t like it.”
“And, not enough. I’m still not enough.”
“?” Although Black Knight speaking so much for the first time made Feiyuan-sensei happy, Miss Feiyuan-sensei couldn’t understand at all!
What do you mean enough or not enough?
What is this little girl talking about?
Could it be she’s just too excited from winning her first championship?
Or is it…
There’s something she doesn’t know about?
Could it be…
At this moment, Miss Feiyuan-sensei immediately imagined those Celestial Empire novels she’d read—sect destroyed, disciple forced to go out and train, finally taking revenge; or enduring humiliation, the crooked-mouth Dragon King.
“Don’t worry! Little Black-chan, no matter what you want to do, Teacher will support you.” Feeling she already understood the mystery, Miss Feiyuan-sensei patted Black Knight’s shoulder hard, her eyes full of guts expressing infinite support for Black Knight.
Only Black Knight was a bit confused—so, what happened to me?
How do you know when I don’t even know?
