Uma Musume: Broken Supercar

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you, but we still have three days before we go back to school."

Wen Jing held the phone in her hand, "Yes, the Hong Kong International Cup starts tomorrow, and Suzuka... is circling around me."

I heard the sudden silence from the other side, and then I heard Tojo Hana's words.

"Can I have Suzuka on the phone?"

Wen Jing hummed and handed the phone to Wusheng Suzuka, then leaned against the railing and waited for Suzuka to return the phone to her after using it.

After a while, the silent Suzuka, who could only utter the syllable "hmm", said goodbye and handed the phone to Wen Jing, "The trainer said there is no need for training in the afternoon..."

Wen Jing thought about it and said it was okay. Then she let Suzuka watch her complete the last set of training, and then she took Wusheng Suzuka back home.

The intensive training these days was quite tiring. As someone who never trained the day before a competition, Wen Jing had long wanted to stop the training for Silent Suzuka.

"Let's go out and play together in the afternoon, go to the mall or the amusement park or something?"

"it is good."

Silent Suzuka nodded. Wen Jing was a little puzzled by such a lackluster answer. It would be great if she could take a break and relax.

Pulling Wusheng Suzuka out of the door, Wen Jing looked at Wusheng Suzuka, who always seemed to not care about anything, and didn't know what to say. But it seemed that Wusheng Suzuka was enjoying the time of play, so Wen Jing devoted herself to this play.

……

"You're all changed, Suzuka. I'm going to the stands now. I'll be at the front cheering you on!"

Wen Jing said, and when she saw Wusheng Suzuka, who had changed into her training clothes and put on her bib number, she nodded and left the preparation room.

Wen Jing squeezed to the front and hugged the railing. There were many people around her. In the back row, she saw many girls wearing the uniforms of her previous school, but most of them were people she was not familiar with.

"…Next up is Silent Suzuka from Japan!"

"Looks like he's in good shape."

The sound of the commentary and the live broadcast was quite clear. Wen Jing watched Silent Suzuka pick up her flying coat, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

The appearance circle ended quickly. Wen Jing looked at Wusheng Suzuka, who was the first to come out of the passage, and glanced towards the stands, then waved for her to come over.

"What's wrong?"

Wen Jing thought about it. Although Tojo Hua had discussed the tactical arrangements with the two of them last night, Wen Jing still felt that this was not a good idea - Silent Suzuka shouldn't run like this.

"I... never mind, Suzuka, just run according to your own ideas, come on!"

"Well, I'll go over first then."

Watching Silent Suzuka running to the gate, Wen Jing puffed out her cheeks, "Why can't I say it at times like this... I clearly want to tell her not to hold back and just run as she wants..."

Wen Jing, who was sulking with herself, looked at the gates over there. In her eyes, Suzuka at gate 13 was still very dangerous. Silent Suzuka was standing quietly waiting...

Silent Suzuka entered the gate smoothly, took a deep breath and prepared to start, but then he remembered the question he suddenly asked Wen Jing on the road yesterday afternoon -

"Wenjing, do you like running? I feel like you are very motivated every day..."

"Well, running makes me happy, and when I run I don't have to think about other things, and I feel very relaxed, so I guess I like running, right?"

Silent Suzuka was still very quiet listening to Wen Jing's chatterbox. No matter how depressed she was before running, she would forget all the trivial things as long as she ran. It seemed that she was the same...

"By the way, Suzuka, what about you? You should like it too, right? You must like it!..."

Wen Jing looked at Suzuka and smiled, then continued chattering, but did not notice that Wusheng Suzuka looked a little overwhelmed.

'Yeah, so... do I still like running now? ...'?

The gate opened, and Suzuka, who had completely formed muscle memory, rushed out immediately. Although her reaction was not very timely, the familiar training in the past few days and the accumulation of starting in daily life still allowed her to easily gain an advantageous position.

"Running... what does it mean to me... I lose over and over again, and no matter how hard I try, I never win a single big prize..."

"So who am I, really..."

"When the gate opened, I saw Ben Teng rushing out first! Silent Suzuka has also caught up!"

"Then there's the triumphal horse!"

Although Silent Suzuka's steps were a little chaotic, she still moved forward steadily to grab a position...

Wen Jing looked at the big screen in the distance and felt something was wrong. 'She is obviously absent-minded. She is like a different person than usual... What is she thinking about...'

"So what am I doing? The competition has already started... and I still have to fight for the lead!"

Silent Suzuka suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at the positions of the surrounding horse girls with his peripheral vision, and then quickly accelerated to take the leading position.

"We have now run about 500 meters, and Silent Suzuka is three or four lengths ahead!"

"The Triumph Horse is in second place, followed closely by the Galloping Horse!"

"That won't work... We'll get caught on the straight road..."?

Silent Suzuka maintained his pace of acceleration, looking at the upcoming bend.

“Silent Suzuka opened up a gap of six to seven lengths, and the horse behind was still Triumph, with Benteng being surpassed by Good Years.”

Silently, Suzuka rushed into the bend first, and her empty mind was once again disturbed by countless thoughts...

"Suzuka, you ran very well in this race, but there are still some things you need to pay attention to. Let me first talk about your strengths..."

"Silent Suzuka, I think she works very hard. We can't be disappointed in her just because of one or two failures..."

"You're talking about Suzuka, how should I put it..."

She was grateful for Tojo Hana's teachings, but...

"Suzuka, I know you work hard..."

"Suzuka, what's your reason for running?"

"Passion?"

I did say this when I was a kid...

"what about now?"

……

"That's why I asked Wenjing, but everyone has a different reason..."

"Why am I running......"

"Hey, I want to know why you run, but don't tell me you like it or you love it. I just want to know your most honest thoughts. When you have made up your mind, you must tell me."

I think that’s what trainer Okino said?

'The symbol of quietness is that running can help you relax and forget all the unpleasant things.'

'Rudolf symbolizes that this is her duty as the Emperor.'

'Good opera feels like that's the opera she wants to write in her lifetime.'

'Narita said it was her only way to repay her trainer.'

'...'

'What am I doing this for?'

"It really is aimless..."

"We're about to reach the straight line! Silent Suzuka is three or four lengths ahead!"

"The Triumphant Horse and the Galloping Horse are starting to exert their strength!"

"The one coming up from the outside is Hui Xin!"

Silent Suzuka's posture was very mechanical, her completely confused mind making it impossible for her to concentrate at all.

"So... I'll try my best..."

Looking at the silent Suzuka in the stands, he accurately located the small but eye-catching symbol of gentleness - she was waving a newspaper that she had snatched from somewhere, and holding a cardboard box with her name on it that came from nowhere. The crowd around her was already two meters away from her...

"There's no one in front..."

"The last three hundred meters!"

"Silent Suzuka is still three lengths ahead!"

"Now the gallop approaches her first!"

"Follow Hui Xin too!"

……

"Suzuka, come to think of it, do you know why I like to run in front?"

"Wenjing, because it will make you happy?"

"No, no, because if I'm leading the race, there's no one in front of me, so I have a clear view. And I don't have to worry about the people behind me at all. I can run at whatever pace I want!"

"The scenery at the front..."

"Why didn't I notice this before..."

'I don't want to give this beauty to anyone!'

"In the last 200 meters!"

"Silent Suzuka vs. Galloping!"

"Following the outside is Hui Xin!"

"Then Prince Wei came from the outside to kill us!"

"Close to the finish line! Can Ben Teng be first?!"

"Benteng and Prince Wei cross the finish line together!"

Wen Jing put away her things while panting, motioned to Wusheng Suzuka who was looking over to go back to the preparation room, then glanced at the notice board and took note of the rankings.

Wen Jing threw the cardboard box into the trash can and ran to find Wusheng Suzuka. She really wanted to make sure whether Wusheng Suzuka was injured...

"Suzuka! Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Completely ignoring the ringing phone in her pocket, Wen Jing ran all the way, broke open the door of the preparation room, and pounced on Wusheng Suzuka who was changing clothes and started touching her all over.

"It's okay, I thought you were injured..."

Looking at the panicked Wen Jing, Wusheng Linglu laughed out loud, "Okay, I'm fine, your phone keeps ringing~"?

"It's Sister Hua..."

Wen Jing answered the call directly and turned on the hands-free mode. "Wen Jing, is Wusheng Suzuka injured?"

"Ah, Suzuka is fine now. I gave her my phone."

Wen Jing listened to the two people's conversation and looked at Suzuka who was still mumbling. "Suzuka, she seems a little different..."
