Umamusume: My Horse Girl Is Not Wronged

Chapter 98: Moonlight

“Okay, I’ve recorded it.” Lu Jue put down his phone, the album saving the video of Tokai Teio’s dance.

As for Uralala, he would record her when she became the center, as that would give him more room to operate.

“Onii-sama, why are you recording?” Rice Shower asked in confusion.

“To keep as a memento.”

There were many fan-made audio creations of Tokai Teio.

Lu Jue had a sudden thought: could he extract Tokai Teio’s voice and then make those videos himself?

Then his Uma Musume could sing whatever she wanted.

Something like “Recalling the past, tears never dried~,” “Baby, our feelings are like ding-dong kun~”...

(Author, author, why do your words sing?)

Alright, he wasn't mainly doing this for mischief, but because he genuinely felt it was worth recording as a memento.

When they participated in more and more races and stepped onto grander Winning Live, Lu Jue would edit these moments into a video.

He would help them record the path they took and their initial resolve in climbing.

Lu Jue hoped that the videos he produced would not have too many regrets, but rather be complete “curtain calls.”

“Recording? Trainer, can you record me when I step onto the Winning Live too?” Nimble Beret joined the discussion group.

Lu Jue smiled and readily agreed, “Haha, of course I can! You, and also Rice Shower, Silence Suzuka, Uralala, Seiun Sky, Special Week, Emperor, not a single one will be left out.”

......

On stage, Tokai Teio finished her song, then changed into another outfit and appeared again.

This time it was a pure dance, with very cheerful and passionate background music, and she was still the leading one.

“Emperor is amazing!” Rice Shower couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Yes, it feels like everyone is highlighting her, and she lives up to these supporting roles, blooming grandly,” Lu Jue nodded in agreement.

He didn’t know much about dancing.

In his eyes, Tokai Teio’s body was very coordinated, and every movement had an indescribably harmonious rhythm with the music’s beat, which could be described as perfect.

......

“Thank you very much for Tokai Teio’s performance.” Maruzensky walked onto the stage again, “Next, let us listen together to ‘Cry for Me,’ performed by these three Uma Musume: Silent Suzuka, Special Week, and Seiun Sky!”

Lu Jue was stunned; he hadn’t noticed this during the rehearsal that day.

And these three little Uma Musume hadn’t told him either... it really surprised him.

“Onii-sama, it’s Silence Suzuka and them.” Rice Shower pointed to the stage.

“I see them.” Lu Jue had already quietly set up his phone.

As soon as the three Uma Musume, all of whom had G1 level championships this year, appeared, the excitement was immediate, and the entire venue instantly erupted.

They were all wearing their respective winning outfits, blooming like three flowers.

Seiun Sky was like an elegant, pure white begonia; Silent Suzuka was like a lotus with creamy white petals tinged with tender green; Special Week was like a newly bloomed pinkish-white magnolia, with petals unfurling.

In this performance, there was no distinction between who was supporting and who was the protagonist.

When it was someone’s turn to sing, the other two would consciously give way, and the big screen would also show the Uma Musume singing.

“It’s this song...” Hearing this song, Lu Jue easily recalled in his mind all the little moments he had shared with these three Uma Musume.

Even after the last note of the song fell, Lu Jue had not yet come back to his senses.

“It’s beautiful.”

......

The final performance was all the Uma Musume taking the stage together.

The central part of the stage rose, with Symboli Rudolf, Maruzensky, and Narita Brian standing on it.

The other Uma Musume surrounded them, facing the audience and dancing with abandon.

This stage was like a two-tiered cake, and everyone was an indispensable candle expressing “birthday,” flickering in the wind.

The atmosphere on site reached a climax, and even Lu Jue put down his phone and waved his glow stick.

And this festival concluded in such a lively atmosphere.

......

Lu Jue sent the videos he recorded to the team chat group, then, after telling Rice Shower and Nimble Beret, he left first.

The dispersing audience went home, but for Lu Jue, the night was still a bit long.

He hadn't forgotten his Agreement with Seiun Sky; after leaving the venue, he headed to the agreed-upon location.

......

Lu Jue didn’t wait long before he saw Seiun Sky gracefully approaching.

The streetlights elongated her elegant and graceful shadow, and the gentle breeze stirred her skirt, making her shadow on the ground seem to dance a soft dance.

The interwoven light and shadow accentuated the exquisite fairness of her face; the most brilliant star in tonight’s sky was hidden in Seiun Sky’s eyes.

“Da-da—”

The sound of her small heels grew closer, step by step, treading on Lu Jue’s heart.

“Is this the best spot to watch the fireworks you mentioned?” Lu Jue averted his gaze, not daring to linger on Seiun Sky’s face.

“Yes, we’ll be able to see the fireworks over there soon.” Seiun Sky walked up to Lu Jue and pointed to the sky not far away.

The streetlights were like a necklace of interconnected pearls, and beneath their feet was a small path whose end could not be seen.

Below was a sloping lawn, and a flowing stream ran parallel to the path.

Seiun Sky pulled Lu Jue to sit on the lawn, a fist’s distance apart. Lu Jue could smell a faint fragrance from her.

“Did you see my performance?”

“I did, I recorded the video.” Lu Jue looked at the moonlight shimmering on the surface of the stream, “You didn’t tell me you had this performance.”

“That makes it more of a surprise, doesn’t it?” Seiun Sky adjusted her skirt and leaned a little closer to Lu Jue, “And it wasn’t just my idea.”

“It was indeed quite a surprise.” Lu Jue unconsciously glanced at Seiun Sky, and seeing her still looking at him, he awkwardly averted his gaze.

“Why aren’t you looking at me? I put on makeup today, could it be... are you shy?” Seiun Sky smiled sweetly, tilting her head, “No way, no way.”

No one could resist Seiun Sky when she was on the offensive.

“Huh? Shy? How could I be shy?”

“Really? If you’re not shy, then look at me. The fireworks display hasn’t started yet, why are you always looking over there?”

Lu Jue turned his head, his eyes reflecting Seiun Sky’s smiling face.

Her makeup tonight was exquisite, her lips bright and glossy, as if covered by a thin layer of diamonds, and under the moonlight, they seemed to be adorned with tiny, shimmering specks.

The rest of her makeup need not be described much, because just her lips were enough to make one unable to look away.

“Do I look good?”

“You look good.”
