"Oh my, oh my, so eager for it. I flew here from Tracen on an express ticket, you know Let's first discuss... the compensation, shall we? Note not payment, but, compensation," Agnes Tachyon said, gently placing the flask in Hakki's hand. She then placed her hands on the knees of her crossed legs.
Because she had experienced the effects of the potion before, Hakki didn't say anything and just took a sip. The familiar warm current spread from her stomach throughout her body, driving away the chill and pain in her legs at this moment, making her sigh in comfort.
"I'll treat Senior Tachyon... to a big meal? And reimburse the round-trip travel and accommodation expenses?"
"Do you think I'm a horse girl who's short on that little bit of money? My popularity is quite high, you know. The copyright fees are enough for me to squander. My request is very simple let me and Trainer Kitahara observe your debut race together."
"Oh? Is that all?" Hakki was still a little surprised. She had originally thought Agnes Tachyon was going to make a huge demand and make her bleed a lot. After all, according to the world's first impression of mad scientists, where did they get so much funding for their strange inventions? But just letting Agnes Tachyon observe her run didn't seem to lose her anything... her request for this compensation seemed pretty good?
After weighing the pros and cons and finding that she wouldn't lose anything, Hakki happily agreed!
"No problem! It's just watching a race. Kitahara will agree too. Then you won't ask me for any other compensation, right? I don't have much money to compensate you..." Her pitiful appearance was displayed in front of Agnes Tachyon, her tone even mixed with a hint of a miser, which made Agnes Tachyon laugh nonstop.
Never seen before, a horse girl who stepped onto the racetrack for money and was full of fighting spirit for it~ what a delightful special individual... and her physical fitness is also very strange, with a growth constitution that ordinary horse girls don't have... Agnes Tachyon increasingly felt that she had picked up a great treasure...
Perhaps after she retired, she could pull her over to form a three-person team for a laboratory...? Cafe would probably agree too...~?
Two days passed in a flash, and it was the Saturday race day at Hakodate Racecourse. The 5th race was the only 1000-meter Shining Debut Race in the All Japan Shining Series once a year. And winning this race would even bring extra fan support, because this was the first Shining Debut Race of the year at Hakodate Racecourse, and also the first Shining Debut Race in North Japan.
And when she really saw the list of participating horse girls, Hakki felt like she had poked a hornet's nest of protagonists...
"Kitahara, are you sure this list isn't a misprint? Is this for real?" Hakki held the paper, flipping it over and over, her amethyst-like eyes trembling...
Suzuka Blossom, Alice Jedi, Nishino Decisive... wow, all the names are so familiar~? Is this really the level of competition that should appear in a 1000-meter debut race? Hakki fiercely pinched her tender thigh. Only when the pain made her grimace did she realize this was reality.
"Of course it's right. Gate four is a great position. What are you afraid of?" Kitahara, walking in front, was a little puzzled by Hakki's surprise. After all, her training results were so good. She couldn't possibly mess up in the race due to nervousness, right?
Of course Hakki was afraid of this. After all, the first favorite was called Alice Jedi... the same surname as Agnes Tachyon! It was unclear if they were related by blood, but compared to whether they were related by blood, Hakki was more afraid that this Alice Jedi would suddenly pull out a lightsaber from under her skirt halfway through the race and slash all the other horse girls on the same track.
The second favorite was Suzuka Blossom, the third was Westminster... looking down the popularity list, Hakki was stuck in fifth place, not high or low... This seemed to be the support she had gotten after a trainer at Central Academy had mentioned Hakki's acceleration. Otherwise, for a horse girl like her with no senior connections and no public appearances, her popularity would have probably hit rock bottom long ago.
Slowing down a bit to walk with Agnes Tachyon at the end, Hakki asked in a very low voice, "Senior Tachyon, this Alice Jedi... what's her relationship with you? Blood relationship? Or... what?"
"Hmm? Just the same surname in the family. If we're talking about blood relationship, there probably isn't one."
"Then why is her popularity so high?"
"Naturally, it's the Alice surname~ Since me, people have paid extra attention to the Alice surname. It's the same principle as Symboli, Mejiro, and Satono. But if I have to say, Alice Jedi's relationship with Agnes Digital is closer," Agnes Tachyon was wearing casual clothes today, with a pair of square glasses on her nose that seemed to be a perfect disguise. Not a single person who claimed to be a fan of Agnes Tachyon had come up to them all the way. On the contrary, Oguri Cap, who had no disguise, was surrounded by a crowd.
After squeezing through the crowd into Hakodate Racecourse, Hakki separated from the main group. She had to go to the preparation room and wait for the announcement to enter the race. It was clear that with so many people today, probably half of them were here to see Alice Jedi and Suzuka Blossom.
After changing into her gym clothes in the changing room, Hakki tugged at the white tank top. The number four cloth was pinned to the front and back with safety pins. Hakki came to the preparation room for the 5th race and saw the other eight horse girls of all shapes and sizes.
Hakki, whose I-person attribute was in full swing, could only close the door under everyone's gaze, then hide in a corner and sit down without saying a word, sitting upright like a model student listening in class. Just like the saying goes—in reality, I'm timid and submissive; on the internet, I'm a keyboard warrior.
"You must be Hakki Byakku~!" A horse girl with slightly pink hair came up to her, her eyes full of curiosity. Hakki instantly guessed who this was...
"You... you wouldn't be Alice Jedi, would you...?" Hakki moved a little further away and swallowed. After all, Tachyon had said that Alice Jedi was closer to Agnes Digital... could she have learned from Digital too?! A horse girl who likes horse girls?!
"Mhmm!~ How did you know it was me?"
"Because of Agnes Digital," Hakki replied concisely. She really had a hard time dealing with this kind of social terrorist horse girl.
"I see! Then let's consider ourselves acquainted! Good luck in the debut race although the final winner will definitely be the first favorite, me~" Alice Jedi said, and confidently pointed a single finger to the sky.
"Huh?" Hakki's eyebrows shot up. She suddenly felt that the nature of this race was no longer just about winning or losing! She, in her entire life, the thing she loved to do most was to say... no! to self-righteous people.
"Pardon my bluntness!" Hakki shot up, stood in front of Alice Jedi with her hands on her hips, looked up at her face, then scanned the other horse girls, and pointed her index finger to the sky. "Everyone sitting, and everyone standing... are all trash!!!"
Trash talk? Who had she, Hakki Byakku, ever been afraid of!
