“Huff… Huff… Now I finally get why your stamina’s so good, Kagura-chan…”
Mr. C.B. had barely managed to climb those endless stairs together with Kagura and was already breathing slightly heavily. Seeing Kagura standing there without the slightest redness in her face or shortness of breath, Mr. C.B. finally u...

Tokai Natural’s life was finally beginning to stabilize.
Since her daughter rarely cried or fussed, taking care of Mochizuki was relatively easier for her.

It was only while grocery shopping again with Mr. C.B. that the question finally came up.
“Maruzen-san, what do you think about us buying Yayoi a storefront?”
Hearing this, Maruzensky tu...

But whether to buy it or not was something she couldn’t discuss until Maruzensky returned.
Yet Maruzensky was still occupied dealing with the dorm supervisor, so the discussion had to wait.
Thus, sitting on the...

Following Mizuno’s line of sight, Air Groove finally noticed the two somewhat familiar young Uma Musume standing behind him. Their faces rang a faint bell—she’d definitely seen them somewhere before.
“Allow me to introduce them.” Mizuno gestured toward the pair. “The...

After exchanging a brief greeting with the gardener uncle resting by the pavilion, Mizuno once again stepped into the place that held more unpleasant memories than fond ones.
Long days and nights of research, ...

Maybe they realized that dragging out each other’s secrets would only end in mutual destruction, or maybe they simply had better things to do than waste energy fighting.
“Hmph!” With matching snorts, they ...
2025-10-30 13:20:33 +0000 UTC View Post“Mizuno-san, what were you two doing just now?” Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka approached, curiosity gleaming in their eyes.
“Nothing much… just some simple after-class guidance…” Mizuno replied, watching McQueen’s figure retreat into the distance. His heart felt heavy.
He might’ve managed to calm that tr...

Mejiro McQueen covered her burning cheeks, her pupils trembling wildly. Her snow-white legs, still faintly steaming from training, pressed together unconsciously. Her horse ears and tail shook so violently they nearly blurred into afterimages. Her mind, completely overtaken...

The words escaped before she could stop them. McQueen froze, one trembling hand pressed to her chest, startled by the violent thud of her heartbeat.
Only now did she truly understand—her heart had long since chosen the one it wanted to spend its future with.
Before, when she’...

The sun dipped westward, dyeing the sky orange; clouds burned crimson as if set ablaze. Sunset rays gently lit the flushed cheeks of the Uma Musume on the practice field, making the sweat from their efforts sparkle.

Five minutes later.
“Oysters…”
On the track, the young Uma Musume of Team TAC were gasping for breath, eyes full of frustration as they stared after the lightning-fast figure ahead.
They’d given it everything—lungs burning, legs trembling—but they still couldn’t match that overwhelming opponent...

His faint tremor, the way his shoulders tensed, the confused flicker in his eyes—every little detail made her ears twitch with satisfaction. Her usual composed, official smile softened into something far more genuine, almost indulgent.
Though she dearl...
2025-10-30 13:20:10 +0000 UTC View PostShortly after, Vodka pushed Mizuno—followed closely by the rest of the Uma Musume—out onto the academy’s practice field.
Waiting there already was an Uma Musume with fluffy hair, a crescent-shaped highlight over her forehead, and a face that somewhat resembled Tokai Teio’s.
She stood with her arms crossed,...

Even when facing Crimson Denizens, this normally ice-cold hunter could declare without batting an eye that "Melon bread is justice." Nitocris had previously suggested Hirai Yukari take advantage of this fact to rapidly grow closer to Shana—and Yukari did exactly that, resulting...

It was already three in the morning—why wasn’t this kid asleep?
Ai calmly showed him the fruit knife in her hand.

Right before Shōichi’s eyes, Conan slipped behind the sofa and took out a bowtie-shaped device.
Shōichi glanced around.
No one else seemed to notice, so he yawned, pretending not to.

After reporting, no one could sit still—especially Yotsui.
She was his only daughter, after all.
