As the number of team members grew, Lu Jue's car changed from a sedan to a van.

A van is good; we can fit a few more inside~

Led by Tokai Teio, the Uma Musume in the car happily sang songs.

Lu Jue looked in the rearview mirror, a relieved smile on his face.

But Silent Suzuka, sitting in the passenger seat, was not in such a good mood.

Her mind was filled with the intimate moment between Lu Jue and Seiun Sky during the Winning Live... and Seiun Sky's provocative gaze.

Seiun Sky didn't even have anything going on with the Trainer, so how dared she look at her so defiantly?

Silent Suzuka secretly glanced at Lu Jue who was driving, really wanting to get back at Seiun Sky.

Lu Jue's attention, however, was on the back row. Listening to them discuss music, he interjected, "Have you heard 'Suki Dakara' (Because I Love You)?"

While the others were still thinking, Tokai Teio, the walking music library, excitedly spoke up, "I have! I have! Can Trainer sing it?!"

"Just a little, and I need to focus on driving right now."

"Alright~ I think Trainer is very suitable to sing the male part of this song, because Trainer's voice also sounds very gentle."

Tokai Teio gave an objective evaluation.

Actually, Tokai Teio had wanted to say it during the last karaoke session, but at that time, it was only her first formal meeting with Lu Jue.

"It's been a long time since I heard Trainer sing," Uralala propped her head up, also lost in memories.

"Wait a minute," Seiun Sky had something to say, "The name of this song sounds like a love song, is it a duet?"

"You could say that, it's a kind of innocent campus romance," Tokai Teio mused slightly.

"Soga." Seiun Sky made up her mind; she would go learn this song when they got back.

Silent Suzuka in the front row thought the same.

Rice Shower and Nimble Beret, however, looked puzzled, "Does Trainer sing well?"

"Oh, she sings wonderfully! Uralala even wanted to sing a duet with Trainer, but Trainer knows so few Japanese songs." The adorable Uralala shook her head.

"Well, from my perspective, you all know very few Chinese songs too," Lu Jue replied with a smile, "But I really don't know many Japanese songs. Let me think... there's also 'Irony.' Have you heard that one?"

This time, the reaction was much bigger; almost everyone had heard it.

"I want to hear Trainer sing! Trainer, will you sing this song for Uralala, please?"

"Rice Shower wants to hear it a little too." Rice Shower was also a good singer, so she was very curious about this shared hobby.

"Maybe next time. I happen to have a guitar, a small speaker, and a microphone at home."

"Next time, next time! Uralala has heard that when people from Dragon Country say 'next time,' it means they don't know when!"

Uralala pouted, her small expression clearly displeased, "What was that old saying from Dragon Country? Something about 'those who understand the times are handsome people.' Uralala advises Trainer not to be ungrateful."

Rice Shower looked at Uralala admiringly and clapped, "Wow, Uralala is amazing! She even knows proverbs from Dragon Country."

"My dear Uralala, that's called 'a wise man submits to circumstances'... Where on earth did you learn that?" Lu Jue rubbed his temples.

"Never mind! As long as Trainer understands the meaning, it's fine."

"I'm driving right now, and of course, I'll do what I promised you."

Lu Jue felt that the training camp was a very good opportunity.

When they trained in the mountains, he could arrange some entertainment activities in the evenings to help them relax after training.

...

After transporting the Uma Musume back to Teresen Academy, Lu Jue returned home, washed up, and went to bed.

But in his dream, he found himself in a vast, boundless Different Space.

Lu Jue remembered this place; when his memories awakened, the Three Goddesses had bestowed him with these eyes here.

He had the good fortune to see the statues of these Three Goddesses at Teresen Academy, but Lu Jue knew little about their legends.

So why had he come here again this time?

Lu Jue looked around, and a gentle voice suddenly echoed in the Different Space.

"Welcome again~"

"Uh, hello." Lu Jue could feel the other party's goodwill, "Goddess, why have you summoned me this time?"

"Oh? Did we summon you? Or do you have questions you want to ask us?" Another somewhat flat voice sounded.

"I... do have some questions." Lu Jue pondered for a moment, "Please tell me, the predetermined worldline, it self-corrects, right?"

"Yes, this is the world's self-adjustment and repair; it is a rule."

That is to say, even if Silent Suzuka did not participate in the Tenno Sho, she would still be injured in other races.

Lu Jue's heart sank, feeling a bit down, and he quickly pressed on, "Can I not change anything? Even if I protect Tokai Teio's ankles in advance, invest in research for currently untreatable diseases in advance... is it all useless?"

"Not true." The gentle voice sounded again, with a hint of a smile, "Not everything can be generalized, Lu Jue-jun, haven't you noticed? You've actually changed a lot already."

"The predetermined worldline, because of the repairs you've made, is actually also a kind of change." Another voice chimed in.

Lu Jue roughly understood the meaning of the Three Goddesses' words: some things could indeed be changed, but some things were bound to happen.

"But it's still not enough; I want to do more..."

He wanted Silent Suzuka to run forever, until her retirement.

Was there really no way?

Thinking of this, Lu Jue suddenly looked towards the vast sky for help, "Three Goddesses, can I make a deal with you? Since you can awaken my memories and allow me to influence future developments, you must also have the ability to change rules, right?"

"No, Lu Jue-jun, rules cannot be changed at will."

"I'd rather hear what kind of deal you're talking about."

Two voices sounded one after another.

Lu Jue replied, "Can I exchange these eyes, which you blessed, for Suzuka's fractured leg?"

After much thought, the most valuable thing he had seemed to be only these eyes.

"Hehe." Three laughs sounded simultaneously, "Lu Jue-jun, not to mention that this is an ability we bestowed upon you and we can take it back, just exchanging eyes for a leg doesn't conform to the rules!"

"I understand."

"Alright, that's all there is to say. Do you have any other questions?"

"No."

After a long silence, the Different Space began to crack gradually.

"Thank you."

"Bang--"

Finally, with Lu Jue's word of thanks, the dream shattered into ice crystals and disappeared.
