Umamusume: My Horse Girl Is Not Wronged

Chapter 73: Shy Rice Bath

Seiun Sky, Special Week, and Silent Suzuka successively won G1 races, and “Dream” also became famous and started to gain momentum.

On the day of the tryouts, the number of participants far exceeded Lu Jue’s expectations.

Fortunately, he had already assigned the work, and the tryouts were completed in a relatively orderly and efficient manner.

“Lu Jue-jun, these are the indoor test data.”

Silent Suzuka walked in, holding a stack of documents.

They recorded accurate data such as the Uma Musume’s lung capacity, leg strength, and sit-and-reach flexibility.

“Thank you, Silence Suzuka.” Lu Jue was still analyzing the running data, without lifting his head.

“Is there anything else I can help with?” Silent Suzuka placed the documents on the table and proactively offered her assistance.

Lu Jue stopped writing, looked up, and smiled, saying, “You should rest first. Where are Xiao Te and the others?”

“They are still tidying up the equipment.”

“Alright, they worked hard too.”

Silent Suzuka pulled up a chair and sat down, glancing at the doorway to see no one passing by, then whispered, “This evening... can we?”

“You want it again?”

“Why do you always... ask one more question?”

Lu Jue didn’t care that much. “You want it again?”

“Mmm...” Silent Suzuka’s gaze drifted, and she softly assented.

What an awkward conversation.

However, Lu Jue was enjoying it, and he felt that Silent Suzuka had been asking for massages quite frequently lately.

It used to be once every two or three weeks, but now it was two or three times a week.

He had forgotten whether he still owed Silent Suzuka. “Alright then~ Seeing how hard you worked today, it’s permitted.”

“Hmph, it’s not that special.”

“So reluctant... Then maybe we should just forget it~”

Upon hearing this, Silent Suzuka’s cold gaze shot over, tinged with a hint of resentment.

“Just kidding, just kidding. I’ll wait for you in the lounge tonight.”

......

Even though some Uma Musume’s data was already quite outstanding, Lu Jue still adhered to the principle of fairness and planned to take all the data home to review.

At this moment, Special Week and the others, who had finished tidying up the tryout equipment, just returned.

Besides Seiun Sky and Uralala, two other Uma Musume also came.

“Xiao Te, Seiun. And Emperor, long time no see.” Lu Jue was actually very happy that Tokai Teio could come to participate in the tryouts.

“Trainer Lu, long time no see.” Tokai Teio acted very relaxed. “I hope I can pass the tryouts.”

After much consideration, Tokai Teio finally chose “Dream”.

It wasn't just because she had experienced the relaxed atmosphere of the team, but also because she had felt Lu Jue’s sincerity and care for his team members.

He personally tied shoelaces for his team members before a race, nailed horseshoes... and even personally arranged dietary health plans for team members about to compete.

“Trainer invited you before and you didn't come, now you're secretly sneaking over for tryouts~” Seiun Sky teased from the side, “Call me ‘Senior’ and let me hear it~”

“Se-Senior!?”

Tokai Teio hadn't even reacted yet when Seiun Sky had already responded, “Eh?”

“Seiun, I didn’t call you just now!”

“Speaking of which, does Emperor also have to call me ‘Senior’? Does Seiun also have to call me ‘Senior’?” Special Week pondered.

“What senior? Xiao Te was clearly the latest to enroll, right? When you first enrolled, I was the one who showed you around the campus.” Tokai Teio retorted, unwilling to concede.

“Weren’t we just discussing the time of joining the team?” Special Week asked.

Seiun Sky patted Special Week’s shoulder, “Xiao Te, you’ve changed. You’re smarter than before.”

......

Tokai Teio, who hadn't yet confirmed her entry into the team, quickly blended in with everyone, but the shy girl on the other side didn't even dare to enter the lounge.

Lu Jue was the first to notice Uralala passing by the lounge without entering.

He saw Uralala’s back at the doorway, as well as a somewhat familiar figure, so he got up and walked out.

The two little ones were talking and didn't notice Lu Jue approaching.

“Rice Shower, come in and have some water.”

“But... I’m not very familiar with everyone, and I might not even pass the tryouts.”

Rice Shower’s voice was a restrained warmth and sweetness, as if from her voice alone you could tell her easily shy personality.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, come in, Rice Shower.”

Uralala tried to take Rice Shower’s hand, but the latter instinctively recoiled, “No, it’s okay. Uralala, you go in. I’ll just wait for you outside the door.”

“What are you afraid of with Uralala here? Everyone is very friendly, it’s just that Trainer sometimes likes to tease people...”

“I heard someone talking about me.” Lu Jue approached, almost resting his chin on Uralala’s shoulder, though not by much, “Was it you? Uralala.”

“Trainer!?” Uralala was caught off guard and jumped in fright. “Why scare me!”

“I didn’t scare you.”

Lu Jue stood up straight, his gaze fixed on Rice Shower.

Speaking of which, this was his first formal meeting with Rice Shower.

Rice Shower’s appearance was very unique; her thick black hair covered half of her cheek. Even her eyes were so shy, only one was visible, like a purple gem embedded.

Perhaps due to the lighting, Lu Jue felt that under that purple gem, there would sometimes be a faint pink wave.

Her most distinctive feature was the hat she wore on her head, adorned with a blue-purple rose.

While Lu Jue was observing Rice Shower, Rice Shower also secretly glanced at him.

Her impression of Lu Jue was that he was sunny, clean, and very handsome... Although she had thought so during their first class, this close-up observation was her first time.

“Tea-Teacher...” She was indeed easily shy, lowering her head after calling Lu Jue.

“Hello.” Lu Jue also understood the appropriate boundaries and didn’t appear overly enthusiastic. “Uralala, is this the friend you often mention? Introduce her.”

“Yes, this is Rice Shower, my good friend. Rice Shower and I have known each other for...” Uralala thought for a moment but couldn’t recall, “Oh, anyway, it’s been a really, really long time!”

After she finished, she then introduced Lu Jue to Rice Shower, “Rice Shower, this is my Trainer, Lu Jue. What did I tell you, he sometimes likes to tease people. He just finished saying it and then came to scare Uralala!”

“Uralala, tomorrow I’ll give you a big training package.”

“Uralala just finished a race!” Uralala stomped her foot in mock anger, waving her small fists at Lu Jue.

But Lu Jue simply held her forehead with one hand, “No breakdancing allowed here.”

Seeing this, Rice Shower couldn’t help but laugh, then pursed her lips after realizing it.

It seemed that Trainer Lu Jue wasn’t as difficult to get along with as she had imagined.
