Hakki's voice was so loud it spread throughout the entire racetrack, and Suzuka Phoenix, directly in front of her, heard it most clearly.
Hmm?!
What the hell was that noise? Is that a sound a horse girl can make while racing? Suzuka Phoenix was momentarily stunned. She didn't think she even knew the ash-haired horse girl behind her! Why was she falsely accusing her of owing her money?!
Although the noise was very strange, Suzuka Phoenix truly felt a chilling pressure approaching.
"Run... you run... where are you going to run!" They were already near the end of the race. Hakki's almost exhausted body shouldn't have had any stamina left to chase. But the association triggered by the debt made Hakki really see the Suzuka Phoenix in front of her as a deadbeat who owed her a huge sum of money. A new surge of power appeared out of nowhere.
Her feet once again erupted with the same acceleration as at the start. The tail of Suzuka Phoenix swaying in front of her annoyed Hakki immensely, making her want to grab it and rip it out. This body finally unleashed its true power at this moment. Every step Hakki took on the grass would sink into a dent, and turf would be kicked up behind her.
As for where the flying turf went? Hakki didn't care. If it hit other horse girls in the face, it was just their bad luck. Why didn't they react faster to dodge it? Special Week could do it, so if other horse girls couldn't, it was just because they didn't work hard enough... Only then did Hakki fully understand what it meant to go all out.
In the end, Suzuka Phoenix was overtaken by Hakki. They were only separated by half a neck.
"Hah... cough cough..." After passing the Amazon marker, Hakki couldn't hold on any longer. She stumbled and fell headfirst onto the grass, rolled over the railing, and lay on the inner dirt track. She never thought a small trial race would run her into such a state... the confidence she had just built up shattered with a crack.
After crossing the finish line, Suzuka Phoenix rested for a moment, then climbed over the railing and walked over to Hakki. She had to ask this ash-haired girl why she had yelled such baseless words. "Um... that sentence you shouted at the end just now..."
"Hmm? Ah... haha, sorry? I was just talking nonsense..." Hakki hadn't realized how loud she had shouted, only that she had shouted it. She didn't expect the person in question to have heard it so clearly. Taking another deep breath, Hakki explained, "You overtook me just now, and I was unconvinced but felt I couldn't catch up, so I imagined you were a deadbeat who owed me money and was trying to run away... Thinking like that, my whole body was filled with the desire to chase, haha..." She scratched her head awkwardly, sitting up from the dirt track, her long white hair now covered in sand.
"I see... I thought I had really unknowingly owed someone money." It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Suzuka Phoenix couldn't help but laugh. Hakki's gaze shifted over and she suddenly felt that this short-distance horse girl looked a bit familiar.
"...Hmm?! Silence Suzuka?!" The resemblance was there. The only distinguishing feature was that this horse girl's... assets were indeed of a different flavor, a level that Silence Suzuka could not reach.
"Oh? No... I also admire Senior Silence Suzuka. My name is Suzuka Phoenix!" It was another misunderstanding she had encountered many times. Suzuka Phoenix explained embarrassedly.
Hakki smacked her lips, swallowing the saliva that had collected in her throat. "That's right... how could it be. Hello, my name is Hakki Byakku. I almost didn't beat you just now."
"You're very strong... actually, I'm a horse girl who has already debuted. Participating in this trial race was also my whim..." Suzuka Phoenix's words made Hakki's purple eyes widen. Did she mean she had just beaten a post-debut horse girl?
She wanted to say more, but Suzuka Phoenix didn't seem to want to chat anymore. She hurriedly said goodbye and left. Hakki watched her back and grimaced. She had tried so hard, but it turned out they weren't even on the same level... Hakki felt she had lost out!
"Hakki! Are you injured!" Zennin Gloria also hurriedly climbed over the grass track railing and came to Hakki's side. Although she had seen her face-brake many times, seeing it in a race, in a sense, for the first time, still made her particularly worried. Because on the racetrack, driven by a competitive spirit, a horse girl would not easily give up victory even if it meant getting injured.
Hakki grabbed the railing and stood up, patting her chest. "No! My body is sturdy and can take a beating. My thick skin, trained since I was a child, can't be worn through by this grass."
Although she said that, Zennin Gloria still gave Hakki a leg massage after class. Because she had warmed up sufficiently before the race, there was no overly intense reaction during the final stretch.
"Phew, what did Kitahara say about me just now?" Hakki asked curiously, lying on the sofa and raising an eyebrow at Zennin Gloria.
Zennin Gloria收拾着毛巾不顾回头,回答道:"训练员说你以前肯定很多次被借钱而且被逃债了."
"...So it was that loud." She thought Kitahara would praise her for running fast and winning... the posture of a winner, even a face-brake, is beautiful!
"But I'm also curious. Why do you get so motivated when money is mentioned, Hakki?" Zennin Gloria turned her head and asked.
"This... I've said it before. My family was poor when I was a child, and I had to stretch every penny. In elementary school, I trusted others too much and lent the three hundred yuan I had saved up by scrimping and saving to a classmate," Hakki recalled that time, her back teeth itching with hatred. "I believed his nonsense about buying medicine, but the next time I saw him, he was showing off a new model worth several hundred yuan to his classmates."
"Uh, he used the borrowed money to buy a model?" Zennin Gloria roughly guessed the story, but was still curious about how it was resolved in the end. After all, they were both elementary school students. It would have been difficult to make him pay it back himself.
Hakki made a fist-cracking gesture and said, "After I found out the truth, I beat him up and snatched the model. Then I sold it secondhand at a shop outside the school. I not only got my principal back but also made an extra sixty yuan."
"Ah?! That's how it was resolved?! The school really wouldn't punish you...?"
Hakki waved her hand. "No, I beat him so hard he didn't dare to make a sound. I told him if he dared to tell the teacher, I would tell his parents that he scammed money to buy toys."
S... so that's how it was...?
Zennin Gloria broke out in a sweat, wiping the perspiration from her forehead. A horse girl in elementary school beating up a little boy... wouldn't that leave some hidden injuries?
