Lu Jue and Seiun Sky had no experience with post-race interviews.

But facing the cameras and the microphones constantly thrust in front of them, the two could only feign composure.

Reporter A: "What are your thoughts on winning this championship?"

Seiun Sky: "Oh my~ I think it was very difficult. Everyone was a strong Uma Musume."

Reporter B: "Which races will you be participating in next?"

Seiun Sky: "Emmm... I haven't thought about it yet, hehe~"

Reporter B: "Do you have any tips for the race? Can you share them with us?"

Seiun Sky was now thinking hard, "It's all because Trainer taught me so well. Trainer promised me that if I won the championship, there would be many benefits~"

Lu Jue's mouth twitched. Not only was it a double entendre, but she also conveniently kicked the ball to him.

Sure enough, after Seiun Sky finished answering, Lu Jue was surrounded by microphones from all directions.

"Trainer Lu, you..." The reporter was just about to ask a question, but was stunned by Lu Jue's appearance.

This reporter was not the only one who felt the same way. Just now, they were all focused on the champion, and had overlooked Lu Jue beside her.

Lu Jue actively eased the awkwardness, winking at the reporter, "Excuse me, do you have anything you'd like to ask?"

"Are you a new Trainer at Teresen Academy? You look very young."

"Not exactly new, but my qualifications are indeed still shallow. Currently, I am the Trainer for the campus's 'Dream' team."

After adapting, Lu Jue's answers gradually became concise, clear, and unhurried.

"May I ask... how old are you?"

Lu Jue was stunned, not expecting the other party to ask such a question.

However, under the influence of the Uma Musume, his mind wandered for a moment.

Fortunately, he quickly corrected himself.

"Is this lady asking about my age? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the race."

"Ah... I'm sorry."

Seiun Sky was initially watching the show from the side, but her playful gaze gradually changed, and her expression turned from clear to cloudy.

It's not fun at all...

Seeing that those female reporters were still planning to ask some inexplicable questions, Seiun Sky immediately couldn't stand it.

She pushed through the crowd, shouting "Interview time is up!" and then grabbed Lu Jue's wrist and ran away.

......

Seiun Sky held Lu Jue's hand and ran wildly.

"Slow down, slow down! I'm about to take off." Lu Jue pulled back hard on Seiun Sky's hand, which finally stopped her.

He looked at Seiun Sky, annoyed, "You told me to answer, but when I actually answered, you weren't happy."

"I helped Trainer, but I didn't even get a 'thank you,' and you're still scolding me."

Seiun Sky lowered her head, feigning grievance. She didn't know if it was intentional or if she had forgotten, but she was still holding Lu Jue's hand.

"What did you help me with?" Lu Jue took a breath, said with a smile, and then tickled Seiun Sky's palm.

Seiun Sky quickly pulled her hand back. In just a few seconds, she was counter-controlled again... sigh.

"I helped you get rid of the reporters. Those women just now had hearts in their eyes. Be careful of a cleaver..."

"Heh, you know quite a lot. Then I should thank Seiun Sky-sama for not killing me."

"Hmph hmph~ You're welcome." She quietly moved closer to Lu Jue, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "What about what Trainer promised me?"

"I caught a can of mosquitoes. I'll have someone send them to your dorm tonight. Take good care of them."

"You're lying again." Seiun Sky turned her face away, immediately refusing.

"I remember, I remember~ Do you want me to fulfill it now?"

"As long as you remember." Seiun Sky smiled again, her expression changing faster than flipping a book, "I'm all sweaty now, dirty and smelly, so let's save it for later."

Actually, she was a little shy.

Lu Jue actually wanted to say he didn't mind. He had inhaled a lot of her sweet scent from behind just now.

But it would have a bad influence, so it was better to just think it to himself.

"Go back and take a shower and change. There's still Winning Live tonight."

"Mm~" Seiun Sky replied, but she didn't leave immediately. After all, she was a good child and began to worry about Special Week, "Xiao Te..."

"She definitely won't say anything now..."

Special Week is also the kind of person who doesn't express negative emotions directly. She probably wouldn't even confide in her roommate, Silence Suzuka.

"But don't worry, leave it to me. I already have experience comforting little colts who like to cry quietly."

"Trainer, I think you probably haven't run enough just now." Seiun Sky narrowed her eyes, revealing a rather "friendly" smile.

......

The Winning Live that evening went very smoothly.

After all, it was a G1 race, and the popularity was much higher than any previous race.

Seiun Sky's dance revealed her overflowing joy, and an occasional "wink" made the fans in the audience cheer enthusiastically, waving their glow sticks even harder.

As for Special Week.

Sometimes she was clumsy and simple-minded, but when she was sad, she was very good at hiding her emotions. If one didn't know the storyline, it would be hard to see any clues from the surface.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Special Week said she was aiming to become the "Japanese Number One Uma Musume," but she failed midway.

The Classic Triple Crown race can only be participated in once in a lifetime, and she could no longer achieve her dream through this path.

It would be strange if this wasn't a big blow.

......

"Lu Jue-jun? Lu Jue-jun?"

Lu Jue came back to his senses amidst Silence Suzuka's calls.

"Lu Jue-jun, what are you thinking about?"

Lu Jue today made her feel very strange. He spoke very little and didn't record videos as usual.

Silence Suzuka was a little worried about him.

"Trainer, why are you so easily distracted today?" Uralala had obviously noticed it many times as well.

"It's nothing, I just got distracted thinking about something." He hadn't expected that after a moment of daze, the performance was already over. "Let's go to the parking lot and wait for them."

"Mm."

......

On the drive back, the atmosphere in the car was not heavy, but cheerful.

The most talkative person was Special Week, who spoke about her various mental states during the race, interspersed with praises for King Halo and Seiun Sky.

Lu Jue smiled, retracting his previous words.

At this point, Special Week's concealment was very obvious and deliberate. Silence Suzuka should have also noticed it.

All the way to the entrance of Teresen Academy, watching the Uma Musume's figures disappear into the campus, Lu Jue also got out of the car and walked into the campus.
