Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: If You Aren't Arrogant, Can You Even Call Yourself Young?

At this moment, in Hong Kong, China:

The true "Good Son Invincible" was dumbfounded after reading this passage.

"Wait, this 'Good Son, Invincible' mentioned here... could that be me?"

"No, wait. According to this, is Mejiro Ardan my mom? Am I her son?"

"No, no, no, this is clearly wrong. Because the most important point is— I'm a girl!!!"

This young girl, Invincible, was completely baffled. She felt like setting sail for Tracen immediately to ask Trainer Mizuki what on earth was going on. On the other hand, she felt that the races at Tracen didn't suit her strengths— after all, the longest distance at Tracen was only 3,200 meters. 

In Chinese races, she had signed up for 8,000-meter events directly.

She began to plan for the long term, preparing to eventually make a trip to Tracen. She wanted to meet Mejiro Ardan, and she also wanted to see Trainer Mizuki.

The diary continued:

[The duo of Twin Turbo and Daitaku Helios— they both got caught today too. They're quite pitiful, having to sweep the streets right alongside Seiun Sky.]

[Seiun Sky is quite the goofball, but why was she staring at me the whole time during breakfast today?]

[Could it be that Seiun Sky is actually the 'closet pervert' type? Pretending to eat, but actually secretly checking me out?]

[Sigh, sometimes being this beautiful with such a great physique is a real burden— even Seuin-chan has her eye on me. Hahaha, I'll have to find a way to turn her down.]

[Try again in a few years, Seuin-chan! Maybe you'll mature enough for me by then!]

At this very moment, Seiun Sky was stunned. She almost dropped her fishing rod. 

'How hateful! Trainer Mizuki, you are too shameless, too unscrupulous!'

'Even for a rumor, this is going too far. Who's a closet pervert?!?!'

One must know that Seuin Sky was very smart. At the time, she just wanted to see if there was some "special points" about Mizuki that allowed her diary to be seen by everyone. After all, something like this is unheard of, only the Three Goddesses could do something like that!

She never expected that this old, undignified Trainer would start spreading rumors, not only saying she had eyes for her but calling her a "closet pervert." Sky felt her image had been completely destroyed.

'Curse you, Trainer Mizuki! Keep talking... sooner or later, Seuin-chan will have her revenge.'

Meanwhile, in the UK:

Baaeed was stunned by the contents of the log. 'This girl is incredible— neglecting her duties, unlearned, loves fishing, and she's a closet pervert? What does she even look like?'

Seuin Sky had completely lost her reputation as an Uma Musume overseas.

And at Nishiyama Ranch:

Seiun Sky's grandfather couldn't see the diary's contents, but there were Uma Musume around him who could read the passage aloud.

"That girl..." The old man was speechless. 

Although he was the unrestrained type and believed Sky wouldn't do anything truly out of line, what was with this daily fishing? His granddaughter had been both lovable and infuriating since she was small.

However, he was also happy. Being able to know what his eldest granddaughter was up to was a relief, as he often worried about her. In his heart, the Seiun Sky that everyone deemed "average in aptitude" was an Uma Musume capable of winning the Classic Triple Crown.

'But the rumors this Trainer is spreading...'

For Mizuki's sake, she had better hope to never come face-to-face with Seiun Sky's grandfather!

The diary continued:

[Twin Turbo got punished by Hayakawa Tazuna. She's still acting tough and is quite indignant. She says she came to Tracen Academy to defeat Tokai Teio, not to sweep floors. She's ready to quit and throw in the towel.]

[What 'Hayakawa Tazuna'? As Twin Turbo said— ]

[Twin Turbo will never be a slave to authority!]

[At the time, Nature told Turbo not to be 'young and arrogant'.]

[Twin Turbo immediately struck a confident pose and shouted angrily— 'If you aren't arrogant, can you even call yourself young?']

[Good grief, I was deeply shaken after hearing that. That's Twin Turbo for you— too strong! But she really didn't show Tazuna any respect at all.]

[She had better hope that Tazuna-san doesn't hear about this. I fear for her health and free time otherwise.]

[Here's another good saying:]

[The sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and Twin Turbo feels like she's the boss again.]

[I look forward to the scene of her getting caught once more.]

At Tracen Academy:

Twin Turbo saw the diary and was terrified. Her face went pale instantly.

"Trainer Mizuki, you're exaggerating too much! I didn't say all that! Tazuna-san, please listen to Turbo's explanation!"

Turbo was losing her mind. She did say "Turbo will never be a slave" and similar things, but those were words said in anger— how could she actually quit? As for the rest, she hadn't said a word of it!

If you aren't arrogant...? She had zero literary education! How could she possibly know quotes like that?!

'Trainer Mizuki! Adaptation doesn't mean random fabrication, and storytelling doesn't mean lying! You deserve to die!!!! The Three Goddesses will surely punish you!'

(T/N: "Adaptation doesn't mean random fabrication", eh? I feel a bit targeted...)

However, it was too late for Twin Turbo. Hayakawa Tazuna saw this, and her face gradually darkened. Her anger meter had reached its peak.

"Oh? If you aren't arrogant, you aren't young? It seems my punishment wasn't heavy enough."

"I must extend the punishment period, and during this time, I will track and inspect her the entire way."

Tazuna looked puffed up with anger. When she got like this, even Akikawa Yayoi would be scared, let alone Turbo.

The next moment, Twin Turbo received the news that her punishment had been heavily increased. Her heart took another massive hit. She collapsed to the ground, a dark cloud over her head, as if a tragic BGM were playing:

The snowflakes flutter, the north wind whistles...

She decided that the day she met Trainer Mizuki, she would definitely give her a bite. This girl was too much!

'Uuuu. Cruel Heavens, why have you treated me so poorly?!'

The diary continued:

[Daitaku Helios is doing fine, though. She's been interacting with me, gyaru vibes at full blast.]

[Mejiro Palmer has already been infected by her. Helios has great communication skills; she invited our Spica to join their social circle.]

[I think it's a good idea. It can improve the Spica girls' Live performance abilities.]

[But she didn't just want the Spica girls to sing and dance— she wanted me to go up and dance too??? That's really putting me in a tough spot...]

[Because I really can't dance. Although I've got a trick up my sleeve, I think that if I bring out my Mizuki Shake, paired with a special song, it'll be too much for the girls.]

Instantly, many Umas showed extremely confused expressions.

'Special song? Mizuki shake? What are those?'

Smart Falcon was the same, showing a curious expression.

"Mmm... what's a 'Mizuki'? A new dance? Falco doesn't understand at all! I'm so curious!"

One must know that Smart Falcon's dream was to be a Top Idol. She remembered every Live dance move under the lights, but she had never heard of the "Mizuki Shake." She wondered if it was a dance from China.

She decided she had to find Trainer Mizuki and have her teach it. She had to learn every dance to be perfect! ☆

However, Smart Falcon didn't know that the "Mizuki Shake" wasn't something you should just learn. It was way too extreme. Moreover, it was impossible to perform on a Live stage!

Meanwhile, in a cybercafe in Tokyo:

Bamboo Memory was also looking at the diary. She was out training today so she had no class. Sitting in a modern gaming chair, she read seriously.

Bamboo Memory originally had zero interest in arcades or gaming, but ever since Yaeno Muteki told her that gaming was also a form of cultivation, she took it to heart and started training in the gaming halls.

"So many things have happened. The Umas in this diary must be very powerful."

"To surpass them, I must cultivate even harder today!"

"Internet manager, add two more hours for me!"

Bamboo Memory decided to play for two more hours. This was cultivation in Yaeno Muteki's words!
