NO．156：Pinocchio

【：Teacher, are you there?】

——July 3, 607, 16:27

——17:21

【：Sorry……Teacher】——17:21

——17:22

【：Yes, just……】——17:22

【Umastar：No need to just, so now you understand

What crossed the wall of arrogance and prejudice? What resisted the honey-like temptation? And why is your unfamiliar appearance?

【It's love, little girl,】

【Once you understand this, you can then better approach the prototype named cute】——17:23

【：Yes, Teacher

However, Teacher, can I still continue to ask you for advice?】——17：25

【Umastar：Of course, keep working hard, little girl.

You already have seven thousand fans, already standing at the forefront among peers of the same age, but you must still not relax】

【：I already said, when chatting with a girl, mentioning other girls is rude! Teacher】

【：

【：Happy New Year, Teacher! Kalien already has 30,000 fans! Just as you said, if we also implement 'love' into the persona, we can burst out with amazing charm! The recent selfie response is also exceptionally good!】

——January 1, 608, 16:27

【Umastar：Happy New Year, little girl.

I saw the fan count, not bad momentum, keep working hard, achieve better 'concealment' and 'highlight'.

When you operate your Umastagram account with an extremely rational attitude, your fans will increase.

But especially note, you not only need to operate everything with sufficient rationality, but also need to make sure others don't notice your effort】

【：Huh? Isn't revealing a little bit enough to be an advantage? Like the label 'hardworking cuter cute girl'?】

【Umastar：No conflict.

You also know that's a 'label'; just let it remain a label and not become fact; you should be clear about the direction of public opinion, and in Miss Chengtian Bairen's defeat, you also saw how the media evaluated.

【：Oh yeah~! Let Kalien stride toward the true cute prototype!】

【：That's too conservative, oh, Kalien is supposed to wrap the whole world with 'cute'☆!】

——————

【：

Teacher, Kalien has reached 100,000 fans!】

【：Huh, is it the Emperor's Prize Spring?】

【Umastar：Yes, I heard there's a recent vote to ban the title 'Emperor' and change it to Terra, but that's not important. The point is this time will be the final battle between Qianming's representative and Ludaofu Xiangzheng! Reminiscent of the Chrysanthemum Prize two years ago!】

I feel there's another column to write; perhaps Ludaofu Xiangzheng could become the first Five Crown horse girl after Divine Praise, or perhaps Qianming's representative's glorious farewell battle to reclaim the era's glory.

I really look forward to seeing if she will again display that outrageous race strategy and running style that ignores all common sense and traditional wisdom; when she first became the Triple Crown winner, everyone even felt that a new era of horse racing had arrived.】——12:54

【：Mm…… You keep talking about other horse girls again!】——12:54

——12:55

【：Huh? Teacher, you never go to the scene to watch races, right?】——12:55

——12:56

——————

【：Teacher!

【Picture】

Clang clang clang clang! 25w fans!

Moreover, moreover! Only a few dozen trolls have been filtered out!

Kalien has achieved the goal!

In this way, has Kalien basically completed her training!】

——September 3, 608, 16:27

【Umastar：

Indeed, you've learned all the basics; from now on you just go on your own】——16:27

【：Huh?】——16:27

【Umastar：The time is also about right.

I estimate I'll be online intermittently from now on, after all I'm getting busier in real life; maybe within a year this account will be archived】——16:28

【：You're joking, right? Today isn't April Fools, Teacher】——16:28

【Umastar：Do you still remember your New Year's wish from the beginning? You were supposed to become Kalien who wraps the whole world in 'cute'.

Achieving this still requires a great deal of effort, a lot of thought, and thoroughly eliminating the hidden danger.

This hidden danger is me.】——16:29

【：？？？

How could the teacher be a hidden danger? The teacher is everyone's teacher! Everyone believes the teacher like that!

】——16:29

【Umastar：No need to be so agitated, Kalian, you should be calm enough, maintain a rational perspective.

Then, you should receive my final instruction.

That is: the image on the internet can never represent anything.

I know your true nature, and since I have no leverage over you, I could become a threat in the future.

You cannot deny the possibility, and you should not hope for the future with wishful thinking, because you should now understand that the human heart is something easily grasped and also easily changed.

And I have no intention of letting you grasp any leverage, nor have I ever considered forming a deep relationship with anyone using this account; so, the road ahead, you must walk it yourself, Kalian】——16:31

【：But, but… but even if you delete the records and seal the account, you would still know Kalian, right? This way you haven't eliminated the hidden danger at all!】——16:31

【Umastar：

You have found the crux of the problem; I am relieved you can still maintain that sharpness, Kalian.

And my response to this is to walk the talk.

Please also believe in my sincerity.

I will not only apply to delete all conversation records, but also delete that part of memory in the brain; through the file‑style memory integrated by the brain crystal, this operation can be done, together with its backup.

Later I will send you that crystal model number, but it can only query the operating status and purchase time, not the user's identity; please understand.

At that time, I will still welcome you to talk with me; of course, I will also not be dissatisfied with your turning a blind eye.

I will probably still be watching you as you become even more adorable, even cheering you on.

So, Kalian, please also continue to maintain that rational demeanor; only those who are introspective and self‑disciplined can reach the summit; I hope you can respect my sincerity, as well as respect your own efforts all along.

I will continue to watch you, watching you wrap the whole world in 'cuteness'。】

【Goodbye, Zhenjiling】

——September 3, 608, 16:36

"You say that is an illusion that should not exist?"

Standing at the inside of the restroom, Zhenjiling stared at the woman before her.

Upon seeing that woman, the first thing that came to her mind was not the other's Triple Crown winner's great achievements, nor her attendance at the school's regularly held horse racing history exhibition, but the spring Emperor's Prize of April 2008 that the other represented.

That was the farewell battle of the Qianming representative; the person she called teacher rushed to the scene, and she also harbored a few small thoughts, sneaking out in disguise to go there.

She hoped to probe the teacher's whereabouts in the conversation, and to take a brief glimpse of the teacher's true self.

But her little scheme did not succeed.

At that time the teacher seemed completely immersed in something else, with no response or movement for over three hours, leaving her only able to wait anxiously and witness the final result of that spring Emperor's Prize.

The Qianming representative ended in defeat.

The little horse girl also once regretted the big horse girl's failure, witnessing that despite the opponent's desperate running style, the end was still a loss.

After all, her opponent was the 'Emperor', and the Emperor's running style was likewise an all‑out effort.

She somewhat felt why the teacher was so agitated before the race, but the regret expressed by the teacher's account after coming back to life in the race also made her subtly unhappy, especially when she knew the opponent had already reached the racecourse exit, and had just called a car with the guardian to prepare to leave.

She also could not call out to the opponent, after all this actually counts as a small betrayal.

Following netizens' talk and then sneaking off to 'grasp' something, even if a child's willfulness might be excused, betrayal remains betrayal.

And now, she seems to be committing a second 'betrayal'.

"What gives you the right to say he shouldn't exist?"

After a long time, some anger rose in her, but she still wore that smiling, cute appearance.

Disguise is an art; the former teacher said so, and she also acknowledged it, being as natural as paint on a canvas.

But that canvas was torn apart by the other in a single second.

"Since he chose to help you achieve, why would you betray his expectations?"

"How do you know all this?"

The torn canvas has no value to be hung for exhibition; it is not a disguise, merely a joke, and Zhenjiling has achieved sufficient rationality and is not obsessed with disguise.

Looking through past records, even just the greetings you and Umastar have exchanged in many posts, the timing before and after shows an obvious disconnect, and it's not only you who can infer," Qianming representative shook her index finger with a smile, "Little Kalian, a professional detective will only understand more than you."

This is indeed imposing, but when placed against the two people's huge age gap, it just looks like an adult bullying a child.

"So the trainer is indeed Umastar teacher?"

"I never said that; I just feel your efforts and probes are somewhat subtle, worth a reminder."

"Kalian doesn't need your reminder, and this matter has nothing to do with you."

"This can't be said to be unrelated, after all it also counts as a big welfare broadcast for fans; how about it? Qianming representative is a good senior role model, right!"

"Kalian is not your fan." The horse girl cutely frowned.

"But Aomo is my fan~" The free-spirited horse girl beamed, "I think it's rather unlucky for him to have someone else's existence sought from his body."

"Then if Kalian doesn't seek anything from him, but merely wants to understand him?"

"Emmm, there's indeed no reason to stop it, it's just that I'd worry more about fans getting into trouble."

"Kalian had already told him that Kalian finds it hard to like the trainer."

"I actually think liking someone has no reason, right? Why is a crow like a writing desk? Maybe one of his friends, or even a horse girl, could have a vague fondness for him, who knows."

"Qianming senior, smelting copper is illegal."

"Sigh, I really can't chat with you lot who, upon hearing the word 'friend', think you're my own people."
