[Oh right, during breakfast today, I also saw Mejiro Ramonu. I have to say, Ramonu is just gorgeous— those legs, that figure, simply unrivaled.]
[Her younger sister is Mejiro Ardan, was also amazing. If my countrymen saw her, they'd immediately exclaim "Daughter-in-law!"]
[Both of them are great beauties; anyone who sees them would feel their mood lift.]
At this moment, Mejiro Ramonu saw this.
"This Mizuki... should I say she has good taste, or that there's something wrong with the things she notices? For an Uma Musume, the most important thing should be running, right?"
"But... when did Ardan become a daughter-in-law?"
Ramonu was momentarily confused. She was quite indifferent when it came to romance. After all, she had been pursued by many since childhood— she's had no shortage of wealthy and famous suitors— but none had caught her eye. But regarding her sister, Mejiro Ardan, she was quite protective.
'Ardan is only 16! She isn't even old enough to debut yet! How did she become a daughter-in-law?!'
Meanwhile, at a hospital in Tokyo:
Mejiro Ardan was completely stunned. 'Eh?, I'm a daughter-in-law? What does that mean?!'
Similarly, Sakura Chiyono O was shocked:
"D... daughter-in-law? Eh?!!! Does that mean... does that mean Ardan, you're already married? But I haven't heard about that! Wait... could it be...? Is it the legendary... international romance?!"
As Chiyono O spoke, her eyes widened. She wasn't the brightest to begin with, and now her CPU was about to fry.
"Ah... honestly, Chiyono-chan, don't say such nonsense."
Mejiro Ardan quickly waved her hands. In terms of romance, she was a completely blank slate. Her first love, first kiss— everything was still there, let alone marriage.
"Uuu, sorry. Then what does Trainer Mizuki mean? Why did she call you a daughter-in-law?" Chiyono O was also confused. They were only high schoolers.
"I don't know either."
A blush inevitably appeared on Ardan's delicate face. She did long for a passionate love and a sweet relationship... even marriage. But that was all in the future; she was currently single!
"Wait, Trainer Mizuki is Chinese, right? Could it be that her heart skipped a beat for Ardan? Is that why she said her countrymen would call you that?!" Yaeno Muteki had a vivid imagination and didn't mind stirring the pot.
"Honestly, Yaeno-san, please don't say such things."
Ardan was pure-hearted; she couldn't handle such teasing, and her face turned even redder.
Just then, the diary updated again.
[To be honest, both Mejiro Ramonu and Mejiro Ardan are great. If I really had to choose... only kids choose. As an adult, I'll take them both, of course!]
Seeing this, the hospital room exploded.
Yaeno Muteki was dumbfounded. She had been joking about whether the Trainer liked Ardan, but she never expected this girl's skin to be unrivaled under heaven— she just straight-up said she wanted both.
Sakura Chiyono O looked speechless. It was broad daylight; what kind of beautiful dream was Trainer Mizuki having? Besides, that was Mejiro Ramonu— so many suitors, and she hadn't said yes to any of them.
And Ardan was still 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At an art gallery in Tokyo:
Mejiro Ramonu was also rendered speechless.
"This girl is truly bold. To think I was considering having Ardan go to you as her Trainer in a year or so... is this how new Trainers are these days...?"
She had little interest, but she remembered Mizuki. After all, she was the first person who dared to say: "Mejiro Ardan and Mejiro Ramonu, I'll take them both."
If she had the chance later, she would definitely have to meet her.
Back at Spica:
Mejiro McQueen blushed immediately. 'Trainer Mizuki, you are too shameless!'
She said she was resting, but she was actually lusting after the girls of the Mejiro family? And two at once? Truly, she misjudged her Trainer.
In Hong Kong:
The Uma Musume named Invincible was also confused. This Trainer Mizuki was truly a talent. However, she froze for a moment. Mejiro Ardan? The name felt strangely familiar.
'How odd...'
The diary continued:
[But jokes aside, I don't really feel that way towards her. She's too young for me. I just have a deeper affection for Ardan. After all, I'm half-Chinese, and she brought us her good son, Invincible— our beloved horse.]
[However, Ardan really breaks my heart. Her health is just too poor. When I first learned about Horse Girls, I knew her ankles weren't great. She's the first girl I feel bad for today.]
[As for Mejiro Ramonu, that girl is too cold and aloof. To be honest, a pure and shy gal like me who doesn't like to take the initiative shouldn't clash with a bad woman like her.]
[It's amazing that the two are sisters. On one hand, we have a soft, gentle "good girl", and on the other hand, we have a "bad woman" who plays with emotions.]
[Whoever marries Ardan will be lucky enough to make me envious, but for whoever marries the other sister?]
[I promise to pray for your health!]
At the art gallery:
Even Mejiro Ramonu's expression changed at this point. She had been painting while reading the diary, and her brushstrokes usually didn't falter, but after reading those words, she couldn't hold back.
'Excuse me, can you act like a human?!'
How did she become a "bad woman"?! If others saw this— her grandparents, her parents— what would they think?
This girl was way too good at spreading rumors! She admitted Ardan was a good girl, but she, Mejiro Ramonu, was not a "bad woman," okay?
However, while Ramonu was angry, someone else was happy: Mejiro Ardan.
Ardan was now dizzy with embarrassment, her face flushed deep red. She had just been reading the log for fun with Chiyono O and Yaeno Muteki. The result was one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
Good news: She saw some drama.
Bad news: She is the drama!
In just a few minutes, she had become a "Daughter-in-law," a "good little sister" who the Trainer felt bad for, and she even gained a "good son" named Invincible.
'What does this even mean?! Trainer Mizuki, how can you just slander a girl's reputation out of thin air? Are you going to take responsibility for this?!'
Ardan couldn't handle this kind of talk at all.
"Wait? 'good son Invincible'? She's not talking about me, right?!"
Yaeno Muteki was also stunned. Why did it feel like her seniority had suddenly dropped while she was just watching?
In reality, she had misunderstood; the true "good son Invincible" was currently staying in China.
Perhaps this was a beautiful coincidence.
(T/N: Mejiro Ardan was transferred to China after retirement and sired a foal named "Wu Di." Wúdí means "invincible" in Chinese, but to make the translation work, I chose to translate Wu Di's name to Invincible. Muteki also means invincible. )
