How much food could Little Kangbai-chan’s stomach hold?
Even the soul using this template didn’t know.
After all, even after finishing that extra-large ramen—noodles, soup and all—there wasn’t the slightest feeling of fullness.
No wonder she had a [Big Full Meal] skill.
This template was way too expensive!
Without some financial strength, she’d be hard to keep fed.
But if she could eat this much, why hadn’t she grown taller at all?
Was there a bug in this template’s design?
With a few gulps, Oguri Cap successfully finished the last bit of soup in her bowl, not even leaving a single scallion.
After eating, her belly had bulged slightly, looking as if she were pregnant, and her expression was content—clearly very satisfied.
Meanwhile, Little Kangbai-chan also set down her bowl, though compared to Oguri Cap, she had one extra step before putting it down—licking the bowl clean.
Yes, after Little Kangbai-chan set down her bowl, you could clearly see that there wasn’t a single trace of oil inside—it was so clean it could reflect light.
It was hard to imagine what she’d done to it.
After setting down the bowl, Little Kangbai-chan also considered whether to order a second one.
After all, her stomach still felt like it could hold quite a bit more—one bowl was clearly not enough.
But thinking it over, Little Kangbai-chan ultimately decided against it.
Her template’s money was tight right now.
If she kept eating, she’d soon be declared bankrupt from overeating.
And without money, the days ahead would be rough.
After finishing their meal, Oguri Cap and Little Kangbai-chan exchanged a glance, then walked out of the restaurant together with small steps.
During the process, the shop owner’s gaze toward Little Kangbai-chan was noticeably strange—as if looking at something utterly incomprehensible.
Of course, aside from her, everyone present except Oguri Cap was shocked by Little Kangbai-chan’s appetite—because it was clearly abnormal.
She was the size of an elementary schooler, yet after eating that much, there wasn’t even a bulge in her stomach.
So where did all that food go?
Surely it couldn’t have traveled through time and space into a black hole?
“Sure enough, you’re strong too.” After leaving the ramen shop, Oguri Cap patted her bulging belly and looked at Little Kangbai-chan with genuine appreciation.
That look was like seeing a suitable and very capable opponent.
Though… maybe not the kind of opponent on the racetrack, but the kind in the cafeteria.
“I guess.” Little Kangbai-chan shook her head.
She didn’t have enough money anyway—if she did, she felt she could eat more.
With an appetite like this and such awkward finances, unless she ran into an eating contest, she could only try her luck at buffet restaurants.
Surely she wouldn’t eat them bankrupt? Find the original chapter at g.com.
After all, she’d only eat there a few times, and it was just one person—not that much…
But when Little Kangbai-chan considered that she was in 2D now, where anything impossible could happen, she suddenly felt uncertain about these things.
After all, 2D—anything is possible.
Even Newton flying up and smashing an apple wasn’t out of the question.
“Hmm… here, take this.” Oguri Cap rummaged through her pocket and soon pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to Little Kangbai-chan.
“Hm?” Little Kangbai-chan stood on tiptoe to take the paper from Oguri Cap, who couldn’t bend down.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t just paper—it was an entry ticket for an eating contest.
“They have plenty there, so don’t worry.” Oguri Cap reached out again, seemingly about to pat Little Kangbai-chan’s head.
“Is there a cash prize?” Little Kangbai-chan, as if sensing danger, took a small step back to dodge Oguri Cap’s sinful hand.
“Mm.” Oguri Cap nodded, reluctantly lowering her hand, then added: “The food there is plentiful. I’ve tried it before.”
“!” Nice—plenty of food and money too.
Where else could you find such a deal?
“I’ll definitely be there! And the championship is mine!” The thought of free food and money made Little Kangbai-chan feel ready.
She decided on the spot to check out that place.
Conveniently, the date on the ticket was two days later, so Little Kangbai-chan could go after finishing her debut race—perfect.
“Mm! I’ll wait for you.” Oguri Cap looked at Little Kangbai-chan’s confident expression and somehow felt fired up herself!
She even felt like she could go back into the ramen shop and eat two more large bowls!
“Then see you in two days, Oguri Cap!”
“Mm, see you in two days.”
After parting with Oguri Cap, Little Kangbai-chan carefully placed the ticket in her backpack—after all, this was currently her biggest meal ticket.
If she lost it, this template’s appetite would be way too dangerous.
Hmm, legend says that when creatures face extinction, they evolve.
She wondered if her template could awaken a skill to eat a bunch and enter hibernation?
If she could, she’d gorge herself at the eating contest, then hibernate to reduce energy consumption—brilliant.
After the meal, dusk was approaching.
Little Kangbai-chan immediately began searching for a park.
No matter how much she treated the sky as her blanket and the earth as her bed, she at least wanted to find a clean “bed” first.
Fortunately, there was a very large horse racing park nearby.
Not only did it have long, numerous tracks, but there were also plenty of benches suitable for lying down.
After running around inside for a while, Little Kangbai-chan picked a bench in a small, unpopulated corner—a spot with almost no passersby and no surveillance.
Lying there wouldn’t be embarrassing; it was just a matter of whether she was willing.
“But I’m very willing~” Without a moment’s hesitation, Little Kangbai-chan placed her backpack on the bench as a pillow, then flipped over and lay down.
“Ah… I really should pick an academy after all. The other me is sleeping in a bed, while I’m lying on a bench without even a blanket…” Little Kangbai-chan sighed, suddenly realizing how wise it had been to choose an academy before. This story is hosted at g.com.
After all, academies provided food and lodging, so there was no worry about a survival crisis when money ran out.
It was bliss in every way.
Although the temperature had started dropping at night, fortunately Little Kangbai-chan was wearing a fleece sweater.
Otherwise, she might have been shivering in the cold.
Still, even on a bench, Little Kangbai-chan didn’t complain much.
Being able to sleep on a bench was already good—some transmigrators might not even get a bench, or might even end up fighting Orks in Warhammer.
So this life was fine.
No need to be picky.
“But if I were to join an academy, where would be best?” Little Kangbai-chan sighed, starting to think about which academy she should join.
After all, Little Kangbai-chan’s stats were low, she had little money, and this was the Central District—a grinder for the weak.
Even if she wanted to join various academies, it would be difficult.
As a mere SR, in a district full of Umamusume and likely protagonists and their associates, she wouldn’t be noteworthy anywhere.
And if she wasn’t noteworthy, probably few academies would consider her.
“Ah… so this template is stuck running small races around here for prize money to survive?” Little Kangbai-chan felt like giving up.
She’d just have to keep running minor races for prize money.
But this template ate so much… what if she suddenly starved to death one day?
And this was a valuable 1000 emotion point template!
“Though, I could consider having my other self support me—wait, she doesn’t have money either. Am I doomed again?”
“Hey! Little girl!”
Just as Little Kangbai-chan was thinking about how to survive, a male voice suddenly sounded beside her, clearly calling to her.
Little Kangbai-chan turned and saw, at the entrance to the small corner, a dark-skinned man on a bicycle, looking at her in surprise.
“Hey! Little girl, what are you doing here so late?” The man parked his bicycle and hurried over.
“Huh? What do you think?” Little Kangbai-chan sat up, slowly tensing her glutes to ensure she could immediately launch a headbutt if he tried anything.
“…You didn’t run away from home after fighting with your family, did you?” As soon as Little Kangbai-chan tensed, the man seemed to sense something and immediately stopped.
“Don’t panic, please! I’m not a bad person.” The man took a small step back, putting distance between them, then pulled out an ID from his pocket and tossed it to Little Kangbai-chan.
Little Kangbai-chan fumbled to catch the ID with her head, then held it up to carefully read every piece of information on it.
“Tracen Academy… Trainer?”
—Below is non-story text—
Little Kangbai-chan is only an SR-tier support Umamusume.
Above her are higher-tier support Umamusume.
Support Umamusume have low base stats, but when enhanced they’re inhuman—after all, their main enemies are BOSS-tier, not regular races.
Among them, though, Little Kangbai-chan has a very special “friend” mechanic, allowing her to support one person at a time while performing decently herself.
So if this kind of Umamusume were in an anime, which academy do you think would take her?
