Chenlong Geng Si had somewhat underestimated the Emperor’s persistence when it came to cold jokes.
Under the Emperor’s serious insistence, Geng Si told her that what she had said earlier in Chinese was merely the name of a hometown dish.
After hearing that, the Emperor also burst out laughing, her two horse ears twitching back and forth in an especially cute way.
Originally, Chenlong Geng Si had not planned on buying braised tofu, but after thinking of the Emperor’s reaction, she still bought some.
However, the shipping fees for goods imported from China were a little expensive.
Looks like I should ask Xiao Li to have someone bring some over from China…
Otherwise, I’ll be getting ripped off way too badly.
Chenlong Geng Si thought this to herself, and the idea took root in her mind.
After playing for a while, Chenlong Geng Si began to feel sleepy, so she climbed into bed and went to sleep.
The next day.
“Geng Si…”
“Ah…
I really want to sleep in…”
After the two of them went downstairs, they saw Narita Brian, and the three of them agreed to go to the academy together.
On the way, the Emperor was still scolding Chenlong Geng Si about how difficult it was for her to wake up early.
Chenlong Geng Si, meanwhile, said that her difficulty with waking up early probably could not be fixed.
As usual, they greeted Hayakawa Tazuna, then headed to their respective classrooms.
When Chenlong Geng Si saw that Narita Brian also did not need to attend class, she froze.
“Uh…
so being the student council president or vice president means you don’t have to attend classes?”
“No, you can’t think of it that way.
It’s just that we’ve already completed our studies.”
The Emperor smiled, then headed toward the student council room together with Narita Brian.
“Suddenly, I really want to become vice president too…
And if you’ve already completed your studies, then what are you still doing at the academy…?”
Just like before, the moment Chenlong Geng Si entered the classroom, it caused a wave of silence.
After class ended, Chenlong Geng Si left the classroom.
When she reached the Uma Musume hall, a sudden whim struck her.
She sat down on a sofa, propped her face up with one hand, leaned against the table, and began contemplating life.
After all, if every day went on like this, it would get boring.
Besides, after wearing the uniform for long enough, she no longer disliked it that much.
The surrounding Uma Musume noticed the somewhat eccentric Chenlong Geng Si, but none of them came forward to say anything.
They only discussed her from a distance.
Before long, Nice Nature noticed Chenlong Geng Si sitting there deep in thought.
At this moment, Chenlong Geng Si’s mind had already gone completely blank.
She had fully entered sage mode…
“Hey, hey, Geng Si-san?”
Nice Nature walked up to Chenlong Geng Si and waved a hand in front of her face.
Chenlong Geng Si came back to her senses, glanced at Nice Nature, and said,
“Oh, Nature-san.
Did Canopus’s trainer agree to my request to train without officially joining the team?”
“The trainer agreed.”
Nice Nature nodded.
“That’s really great.
Chenlong Geng Si stood up.
First, she returned to the dormitory and changed into her training clothes.
After that, she followed Nice Nature to Canopus’s trainer room.
Once she entered, Chenlong Geng Si saw Ikuno Dictus and Twin Turbo sitting there in discussion, while Minamisaka stood off to the side with a helpless expression on his face.
“Yo, yo!
I brought Geng Si-san over.”
Nice Nature said with a smile.
Chenlong Geng Si’s appearance instantly drew the attention of the two Uma Musume before her.
Ikuno Dictus adjusted her glasses and said in a serious tone,
“Chenlong Geng Si.
The strongest Uma Musume who embodies the culmination of China’s excellence.
Her current record includes winning by a large margin against Tokai Teio, Special Week, and Gold Ship during a race with Team Spica, as well as crossing the finish line at the same time as Narita Brian and the Emperor during a race with Team Rigil.”
“Wow, that’s amazing!
You can beat Teio!”
Twin Turbo ran up to Chenlong Geng Si with an excited expression.
Twin Turbo nodded proudly, full of energy.
Twin Turbo’s behavior…
reminded Chenlong Geng Si a little of the child she had just looked after the day before yesterday.
Minamisaka also had not expected Chenlong Geng Si to be this strong.
He had only heard Nice Nature mention the matter.
Since he personally had no objection to it, he had allowed Chenlong Geng Si to come and train with them for a while.
“It was just luck,” Chenlong Geng Si said with a smile.
Then she looked seriously at Minamisaka, bowed, and said,
“Hello, Trainer.
I’m Chenlong Geng Si.”
“Oh, hello.
I’m Minamisaka.”
“Then, when do we start training?” Chenlong Geng Si asked.
However, right after Chenlong Geng Si finished speaking, Ikuno Dictus continued,
“There’s no need to rush into training.
Perhaps you should first understand your opponents, and then the various aspects of race preparation and training…”
The moment Ikuno Dictus opened her mouth, her words flowed endlessly like a river.
All kinds of training-related information poured out one after another.
Chenlong Geng Si looked at the scene somewhat awkwardly, then glanced at Minamisaka standing nearby.
Seeing that Minamisaka also had a very helpless expression, she suddenly realized something.
This team relied entirely on self-discipline!
“Oh!”
Chenlong Geng Si suddenly became very interested in this team.
After all, in her previous life, she had also been left to her own devices by her homeroom teacher in much the same way.
Ikuno Dictus spoke at length, then looked at Chenlong Geng Si with a serious expression and asked,
“Geng Si-san, what do you think of training like this?”
“I think practice is the only criterion for testing truth,” Chenlong Geng Si said with a nod.
Ikuno Dictus was a little confused, but quickly reacted.
“Mm.
Then let’s begin practicing now!”
“Let’s go, let’s go!
Time for training!”
Twin Turbo was the first to rush out, followed by Nice Nature and Ikuno Dictus.
Chenlong Geng Si stood beside Minamisaka.
Minamisaka gave an awkward smile and said,
“As you can see, our team often holds meetings but doesn’t train all that much.
It might not be very suitable for you.”
“I think it’s pretty good.”
Chenlong Geng Si smiled at Minamisaka.
“And, Trainer, you’re different from the other trainers I’ve met.
At the same time, you seem to possess qualities from all of them.
Maybe you could also have a dream of your own.
For example…
building a team that dominates every championship throughout the year?”
After hearing that, Minamisaka smiled and said,
“The team members have said that they want to make Canopus the strongest team in the academy.”
“Maybe you could be a little stricter,” Chenlong Geng Si said.
“All right.
I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Geng Si-san!
Trainer-san!
Come on, let’s go train!”
Twin Turbo’s voice came from outside.
Chenlong Geng Si smiled and replied,
“Coming.”
A short while later, Ikuno Dictus stood on the training field.
Somehow, she had gotten hold of something that looked like a blackboard.
With a serious expression, she said,
“Every single matter must be prepared for seriously.
Doing so can reduce the risk of injury.”
Chenlong Geng Si nodded.
“That’s true.
Then you all can take your time learning about it.
I’ll go train first.”
“Hey, Geng Si!
Training blindly like that won’t produce any results,” Ikuno Dictus hurriedly said.
“You’re right, Dictus.
Then do you know where my limits are?” Chenlong Geng Si asked seriously.
Ikuno Dictus was stumped by Chenlong Geng Si’s question.
Chenlong Geng Si pointed at the training field.
“I can run here continuously for several hours.”
