Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 378 Japan Cup (Part )
Compared to most fans, live commentators and guest commentators certainly understand the differences between Japanese and foreign competitions better.

After the commentator reported the game situation, the review followed with explanations.

“Our horse girls are in trouble.

"The training methods in Europe and the United States are different from those in Japan. The competition for position is much more intense than in Japan, and close contact is commonplace.

“So, the collision at the first corner should be a test that Japanese racing women must face.

“Hopefully they can hold their ground.”

As the live broadcast and commentary said, when the racing teams passed the curve on the right side of the front of the Tokyo Stadium audience seats, most of the horse girls moved in a very tacit manner and ran towards the inner lane.

It is generally difficult to switch positions on a straight line, and changing positions easily can easily waste energy.

The bends provide a wider space for maneuvering, which is an excellent opportunity to fight for position.

In various previous competitions, it is normal to cut into the inside lane when transitioning from the early stage to the middle stage.

However, at this moment on the track, no matter which part of the team, the cutting situation is much more intense.

"Wow, what a pertty uma~"

At the front, accompanied by a somewhat frivolous voice, a dark and sturdy figure like an iron tower let out laughter.

"Japanese umas are extremely nice-looking and well-mannered runners, huh?"
"But...

"That's nothing for race..."
"and this is my turn and position...

“I can’t let you have this!!”

The provocative words came from Michelle Baby. The tall and strong American horse racing girl, the moment she cut into the first corner, she crushed forward like a heavy tank.

In an intense racing environment with speeds exceeding 16 meters per second, baby Michelle's collision had nothing to do with her cute-sounding name.

Grass clippings mixed with dirt flew more than a meter high behind her, and the air in front of her seemed to be torn apart like the runway under her feet.

She had an opponent right in front of her, and that was Golden City, who was adopting the tactic of following the Sakura Star King closely.

If Huang Jincheng had not trained regularly with the Eternal Club, or had not received normal training in Japan, it would have been difficult for him to avoid the violent impact from behind.

But through what she has seen and heard, she is more or less aware of the differences between Japanese and European and American competitions.

Even before the race started, she had anticipated how intense it would be, and while keeping a close eye on the pace ahead, she was mentally prepared to dodge.

She definitely has to avoid it. Through the fashion circle, she is quite aware of the physical gap between Japanese and European and American horse girls.

To be fair, she felt that among the horse racing girls she knew, there were probably not many who could perform well in overseas competitions.

If we really need to mobilize someone to deal with it, I'm afraid the only ones available are the few powerful monsters in the Eternal Club.

But I don't have that kind of incredibly strong physique, and if I don't avoid it, something will definitely go wrong.

But even with so much preparation, when Huang Jincheng sensed the strong wind coming from behind, he was still a little slow in dodging.

“Tsk…!!”

After making a sound of dissatisfaction, Huang Jincheng frowned, trying his best to maintain balance and normal running posture, his eyes slanting towards his inner arm.

It was this arm that couldn't be avoided in time just now.

Baby Michelle cut in directly from the side and rear, swinging her arms vigorously.

With a height of 1.95 meters, her arms are much longer than those of all the horse girls present.

It was this rare wingspan that caused Huang Jincheng to engage in a head-on physical confrontation despite his lack of experience in dealing with the situation, even though he was well prepared.

"Acheng! Are you okay...?!"

While checking the condition of her arm, she suddenly heard hurried, concerned voices coming from the other side. Huang Jincheng looked in the direction of the voice and found that Sakura Star King had obviously slowed down to a position parallel to her.

After a little thought, he realized that Sakura Star King was originally leading by more than one body length, but now he suddenly fell behind so much, obviously to avoid the opponent rushing from behind.

This good friend also learned about this competition situation, which was different from that in Japan, through the Eternal Club.

“…It’s nothing serious.”

After feeling the condition of his inner arm, Huang Jincheng found that the only abnormality was the numbness. While feeling at ease, he whispered to his friend, "Don't worry too much.

“Focus on your own game.

"This situation will not be uncommon in the future."

"But...Okay, but..."

After hesitating twice, Sakura Star King's gaze shifted away from Huang Jincheng and looked forward.

Baby Michelle has surpassed her and Huang Jincheng in one breath, and is sticking to the advantageous position in the inner lane, pressing towards Mejiro Dylan who is currently in first place.

"She... this horse girl, what's going on...?"

Sakura Star King also frowned, "Even if the competition in Europe and the United States is fierce, but this kind of dirty tricks... are they really okay?
"Will it be called a foul...?"

"I'm afraid... no."

As he spoke, Huang Jincheng silently increased his arm swinging movements. This was an emergency adjustment method, and the principle was similar to speeding up blood circulation to promote the recovery of abnormal conditions in a small range of limbs.

"After all, we have never actually competed overseas. Just watching videos and listening to Kitahara and his team's analysis is not enough for us."

Feeling that his physical condition had recovered, Huang Jincheng wanted to explain a little more, "If the behavior of this big guy is normal over there, I'm afraid...

"In her concept, she doesn't think this is a dirty move at all.

“She might even think it’s her due.

"Otherwise there wouldn't be any rubbish like 'well-mannered'.

"And the current environment in Japan..."

His eyes left the front and unconsciously glanced in the direction of the Tokyo Stadium Affairs Hall, and Huang Jincheng curled his lips.

“The people from the URA Association and the Tokyo Arena, even if they have to judge, will only judge according to the other party’s habits.

"at most……

"Just give a mild warning after the game."

Inadvertently, Huang Jincheng guessed how the tournament association in another world would handle similar incidents.

To put it simply, when the payment manager clearly commits a diagonal foul, the penalty given by the association is a warning.

However, as an American competitor, Japan's penalty, which was just a warning, had no effect at all.

They went back after the Japan Cup.

We can't have to consider Japan's warnings and penalties for participating in American events.

So it can be said that it is completely painless.

What happened to the vanguard troops where Golden City and Sakura Star King were located was only part of the confrontation in the first corner.

Similar confrontations can be seen everywhere in the middle and end positions at the back.

It can almost be said that the result of most confrontations is that the Japanese horse girls are at a disadvantage.

Even if we don't take into account the heights of Tamamo Juji and Inari Ichi, the average height and physique of Japanese horse girls are obviously weaker, so it is not unimaginable that they would lose in a confrontation of this level.

However, there are exceptions.

"…Scusa. (Sorry)"

"Are you OK, lady?"

The conversation was between Tony Bianca and Elerith Glory.

Both horse girls chose the difference position in the opening stage, and the distance between them was not far.

After entering the first turn, the two horse racing girls, both from overseas, almost habitually engaged in a physical collision to fight for position.

However, Tony Bianca moved forward for less than a second before instantly controlling his speed and returning to his original position.

Eleris Glory moved forward a little, which led to the collision and the conversation just now.

As the most outstanding horse racing girl in New Zealand, such physical confrontation is nothing to Elleris Glory.

But beneath her outward polite concern, her heart was filled with doubts.

She knows her own strength.

18 wins, including the New Zealand and Australian Derby titles, and 9 other G1s, with a clear overwhelming advantage in middle-distance races.

But this does not mean that she is 2400% confident that she can win the 1m G Japan Cup.

She has missed the Japan Cup twice due to injuries, and it seemed as if she was destined to have regrets in this event.

Even without considering injuries, the opponents in this Japan Cup are obviously not easy to defeat.

Among them, the one who needs to be most vigilant is Tony Bianca.

Perhaps it is because heavy fields are more likely to appear in European competitions, and the horse girls there have a considerable advantage in strength. Specifically in competitions, this is the ability to break through and make the last kick.

Before the game, she and her trainer and team repeatedly hypothesized the possible choices of the European king.

The conclusion is that if the opponent fights alone, he will most likely adopt a simple and effective tactic of competing for the last foot in a straight line.

If the European and American sides had conducted coordination exercises, it would have been a much more troublesome auxiliary tactic.

Ellis Glory didn't know how Tony Bianca trained with Moonlight Madness, Michelle Baby and other European and American horse racing girls.

But judging from the opponent's current position distribution, the latter possibility is undoubtedly the case.

Well, referring to the competition information that the team can find, there should be a horse girl in front of the team setting the pace for Tony Bianca.

The latter's advance just now seemed to have made it clear that the rhythm was in his own hands.

The problem lies here.

Since the team has mastered the rhythm, why should Tony Bianca, the core of the tactics, continue to maintain the position in the opening game...

While deep in thought, Ellis Glory maintained a calm expression, and quietly observed the movements of the Italian horse girl not far in front of him.

Unlike those horse racing girls in Europe and the United States, she is the only horse racing girl representing New Zealand, or even the whole of Australia, to participate in the Japan Cup this time.

She had previously learned through some channels that most of these European and American opponents had adopted joint tactics.

She has no one to unite with, she can only rely on herself.

In addition to these competitors, Japanese horse girls may also have similar joint tactics.

If you want to win, you must not act rashly before you know what these tactics are.

“…Noting.”

When Tony Bianca responded casually, he didn't know that his opponent from New Zealand behind him was thinking a lot in an instant.

She actually doesn't care.

What she cared about was only the opponents who needed to be paid the most attention to during the preparations, who were recognized by the academy presidents, trainers and the participating horse racing girls.

Japan's No.1...

Tamamo Cross...

It seems...

She is not some horse racing girl who has gained fame in vain...

It’s much better than the last time I saw it in Europe…

Tony Bianca narrowed his eyes slightly as he fixed his eyes on the little man in the team ahead.

In fact, deep down, she doesn't really like the so-called joint tactics nowadays.

In her opinion, she herself is enough to win this Japan Cup.

She thought she knew the situation of Tamamo Cross very well.

Although both are horse girls who can enter the field, their abilities in all aspects are quite balanced.

But facing yourself, one weakness is enough.

The last foot.

Tony Bianca was quite sure that the last leg of Tamamo Cross was not at the same level as himself.

The term "last leg" is too general. In fact, for Umamusume herself, it is a wholehearted explosion of her heart and soul as if she is going all in.

Just like a pump, once you enter that state, all the blood, breath, strength... no matter what it is, will be drained out in an instant.

Then, madly inject energy into your feet, legs, arms, muscles, nerves, and everything else that can make you faster, faster, and fastest.

It's not that Tamamono Cross can't do this.

She is able to "take time" for something, which is less than herself.

This may sound a bit presumptuous, but through the face-to-face competition in the Yesen exchange match, as well as a series of subsequent analyses of the game videos.

Tony Bianca was certain that the foundation used by Tamamo Cross to support its explosive power was less than his own.

In top-level competitions, missing a single line will lead to failure.

Not to mention the current contrast.

So, deep down, Tony Bianca thought that he could complete most of the race by cruising normally on his own and maintain enough energy to enter the final straight.

Then he sprinted with his last foot and won the game.

that's enough.

But now, she has slightly changed her mind about the so-called joint tactics.

It is not to say that this tactic was jointly proposed by predecessors such as the Brave Dance and Seattle Spin.

She could understand that after becoming student union presidents, these legendary seniors had more things to consider, and many things could not be decided based solely on wins and losses like they did when they were still in service.

But she is still running and competing on the field.

She doesn't want to care about the future development of Uma Musume or the dawn of the industry.

She just wants to win.

Therefore, agreeing to train with the other horse girls was simply out of respect for the opinions of their predecessors and the academy.

The time to change my opinion came when I just noticed a little "abnormality" in Tamamo Cross.

She didn't know whether that could be considered "abnormal", but intuitively, it was obviously different from the conclusions she had drawn during preparation and the expected game situation.

According to the tactics, horse girls such as Moonlight Madness and Michelle Baby will fight for the "regular" position in different positions.

This kind of "convention" applies to European and American horse racing girls.

But for Japanese horse racing women who have been in "mild confrontation" for a long time, this "conventional fight" will consume more physical strength than expected.

The differences between the two regions are very clear to our team, and these are completely within the rules of the Japan Cup.

Therefore, as long as this kind of "conventional confrontation" is carried out, most opponents will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength.

For the leading teams, this tactic has already shown initial results.

Tony Bianca was able to observe the situation ahead.

She saw clearly that under Michelle Baby's position-grabbing tactics, Golden City and Sakura Star King were forced to slow down, and their positions were much further out than before.

Although Mejiro Dylan still maintains the lead, this was already within the tactical plan.

The horse girls of the Mejiro family were known to have fragile feet, and this horse girl was no exception.

Under the pressure from behind, she could only maintain her lead, and it was almost impossible for her to cope with the subsequent confrontation in terms of physical condition and strength.

The situation in the rear seemed to be the same. Unable to observe with his eyes, Tony Bianca could only rely on hearing and other senses to confirm.

The problem is that Tamamono Cross was also clearly dragged into this confrontation.

Moonlight Madness was right next to her, and when they entered the first bend, a collision was inevitable under the tactical thinking of "conventional confrontation".

However, facing the Moonlight Madness that hit him from the side, Tamamo Cross...

Didn't move.

This little man, who was only 1.4 meters tall, stood motionless as if made of iron when faced with the impact of an opponent who was more than a head taller than him!

No, it can't be said to be motionless.

She maintained a fairly high cruising speed, ignoring any external impacts, and completed the first turn perfectly, entering the curved track section before the second turn.

so……

Whether it's President Yongwu, President Seattle, or the trainers...

Including me...

Judging the physical constitution of Tamamono Cross...

Any Questions… ?
Tony Bianca wondered.

While she was confused, she suddenly thought of something that the team had not figured out during the previous discussion.

and many more……

Even if one has a very strong physique, facing this level of confrontation, it shouldn't be completely unaffected...

But Tamamo Cross acted as if nothing had happened just now...

All other aspects have been considered...

The only thing I haven't figured out is...

Is it...

During their preparation period, didn’t they go to the racetrack to play kiddie go-karts…?
In the eyes of Europe and the United States, the most incomprehensible thing about the training arranged by the Eternal Club during its stay in Nagoya was that they had to go to the racetrack from time to time.

Especially at the beginning, it seemed that Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi were playing go-karts in the racetrack. The European and American sides really thought that these horse racing girls were taking advantage of Kitahara's arrangement to relax through "new entertainment activities".

After all, whether in Europe or the United States, go-karts are generally played by children or as entertainment for racing enthusiasts who want to experience the feeling of drifting.

You can't apply racing technology to race walking, right?
Moreover, after going to the racetrack for a while, I didn't see where the Eternal Horse Racing Girls had gone. Their daily routine there had returned to training in the academy or at the racetrack.

So no matter how you look at it, the racetrack, the cars, etc., have nothing to do with the Japan Cup.

So, even though he had some guesses in his mind, Tony Bianca still had no clue.

Forget it. Anyway, my original idea was not to rely on joint tactics to achieve victory...

If it's stronger than expected...

That's just what I want!

Come on, let me see, the so-called No. 1 in Japan...

What other methods are there?
Although he was excited and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, Tony Bianca did not make any move to change.

She did not underestimate this competition.

Even though Japan's horse racing girls and event levels are not ranked top-notch in the international evaluation system, the Japan Cup is undoubtedly an international G1.

In a competition of this level, if you are careless at all, you may lose without knowing how you lost.

Perhaps, when we first decided to participate in the Japan Cup, there were some limitations in our response.

At that time, the entire team, including herself, valued European competitions more than competing in Japan.

So if she had followed the original plan, she should have had more than two European G2 events in the previous month.

But whether it is Chairman Lifar, President Yuuwu, the training team, or herself, as they understand the current situation in Japan, they are paying more and more attention to the events and the development of horse racing girls in this island country.

The development here is obviously much faster than before, and some areas can almost be said to have reached world-class levels.

It would be ridiculous not to take this situation seriously.

So, I cancelled the originally scheduled competition, took enough rest, came to Japan in advance, and spent about a month making preparations in all aspects.

Toni Bianca thought to herself that this was almost her attitude in preparing for the Arc de Triomphe Award.

The result of this adjustment was that her pre-match condition was even better than before the expedition to the Arc de Triomphe.

So good that she is confident of winning any Japan Cup.

Even the one in which Ludo, who had the title of emperor in Japan, participated.

Therefore, whether it is for the previous preparations not to go to waste, or for the game itself.

At this moment, Tamamo Cross encountered an unexpected situation, and the normal competition situation was not clear enough.

The best decision is to do nothing.

Toni Bianca didn't know that, inadvertently, she and Eleris Glory made the same decision.

In addition to these two horse girls, there are other contestants with the same determination.

Unexpected...

totally...

Beyond our expectations...

The inexplicable truck training arranged by the uncle turned out to be so useful...

In the middle of the team, his eyes glanced at Moonlight Madness on the side with a bit of surprise, and Tamamo Cross was full of surprise.

Compared with Huang Jincheng and Sakura Star King, the training she received was more systematic.

It’s not that Kitahara and others didn’t pay enough attention to the training of the top two horse girls.

In fact, at the overall level of the Eien Club, it has long since gradually abandoned Japan's mainstream one-on-one training method and has become increasingly close to the club-style "group coaching method."

To put it simply, trainers and medical and technical members form a group similar to a "general staff" to provide unified guidance to all horse girls participating in training.

In this way, members of the training team can complement each other's strengths, and the horse racing girls can also fill in their gaps by being exposed to different styles of guidance.

A part of the one-on-one format is still retained, and the focus of this part is on targeted special training.

Therefore, the quality of the training received by horse girls such as Huang Jincheng is not much different from that of Tamamo Cross, Inari Ichi, and Oguruma.

However, Tamamo Cross and others had been undergoing special training with Kitahara for a long time.

From the most basic heavy field training, to on-site exchange competitions in Europe and the United States, to special training at the seaside, and the most recent truck training.

The directions of reinforcement of different trainings are not exactly the same, but the training of confrontational capabilities is consistent.

Emphasis on venues and field trips themselves emphasize the improvement of strength.

During the special training at the seaside, we also conduct special training on the impact of waves to strengthen the lower body.

Truck training, on the other hand, looks strange.

But once you are in it, as long as you can adapt to impacts from various directions, collisions on the field are hardly a problem.

Especially the impact caused by the inertia of the truck, which came from an old driver like Maruzenski who had a passion for racing.

Tamamo Cross felt that when he just turned the corner, overseas horse racing girls like Moonlight Madness, just as they had said during preparations, rushed towards him with a menacing look.

but……

She really didn't feel anything.

She just felt that this kind of collision was a bit "soft".

It is similar to the British lady-style winning dress that Moonlight Madness is wearing now, and has a bit of a "delicate" feel.

how to say……

This kind of "very ladylike" collision is totally not on the same level as the impact brought by Maruzen's continuous inertial drift in the 180-degree hairpin turn.

The impact of drifting was so strong that I felt like my muscles, internal organs, blood vessels, etc. were about to be separated from my skeleton and all flew out.

If I wasn't afraid of making a fool of myself, I would have screamed and wailed because of the tearing feeling.

so……

Now this collision...

After hesitating for a moment, Tamamo Cross suddenly became a little curious.

She really felt that after she had roughly adapted to the various inertias in the truck training, she could completely ignore the confrontation on the field at this moment.

But she became a little unsure, not sure whether a collision had just happened.

After all, whether it is the Japan Cup or overseas competitions, this is a goal the team set a long time ago.

Before this game, Kitahara, Komiya and others also emphasized that it would be best to gain enough experience in this international open competition to prepare for next year's overseas competitions.

Well, if I was wrong just now, then it would be a bit troublesome.

"Um...are you okay?"

Thinking about it, Tamamo Cross tentatively asked Moonlight Madness beside him.

Moonlight was so crazy that he almost lost his temper.

Strictly speaking, she didn't think the collision she just experienced was targeted, because similar confrontations were common in every game she had experienced.

All I can say is that the team's plan is to use this intensity-enhancing match as a weapon to weaken the opponent.

In terms of effect, it seems that there is some effect.

In front and behind, Moonlight could feel the madness. The Japanese horse girls were almost unable to cope with the intensity of the confrontation.

Those who evaded avoided, those who slowed down slowed down. The reactions of these Japanese opponents were as expected.

But ……

Holy Mother Maria……

What's wrong with this little guy?!

Moonlight Madness was very troubled and puzzled.

During the Yesen exchange competition, she had personally witnessed the level of competition between Tamamo Cross and her companions.

Can not say no, can only say that chat is better than nothing.

That was just the level of an exchange competition, not as intense as it is now.

The current strength is completely natural, using the acceleration and inertia when cornering to release the impact force that is much stronger than cruising.

It's not necessary to hit anyone, it's just that's the daily training in Europe.

Whoever you bump into is just a natural thing.

But the little guy next to him was almost completely different from Ye Sen during the competition. It couldn't be said that he was motionless, because he was indeed still moving forward at a rapid speed.

Then I have to say that there was no reaction to the impact!
It really felt like being bitten by a mosquito, there was no reaction at all!
Maybe it would be better to be bitten by a mosquito. After all, when bitten by a mosquito, you can still make some reaction.

And that's all she said in mockery?
Is it a mockery?

God damn it……

If it weren't for the speech etiquette he had always accepted, Moonlight Crazy would have really wanted to swear.

But after gritting her teeth and pretending not to hear Tamamo Cross's curious words, she couldn't help but glance behind her.

She didn't see Tony Bianca, but it was her old rival that she was concerned about.

After several confrontations, she admired her opponent's strength very much, and she was never sure of defeating him.

Even though she had defeated her opponent head-on in the arena before.

They are also friends, even though one is from the UK and the other from Italy, the time they spent together on the field has made them discover that they have a lot of common topics.

When they came to Japan, they were together during the adaptation period in a foreign country.

She knew that Tony Bianca had a problem of being grumpy when waking up, and he also cared a lot about his image.

When in Europe, Tony Bianca would endure his morning grumpiness and silently fix his messy hair with a sour face.

But when she came to Japan, due to the jet lag and bad mood, she had to help her good friend with her beautiful Roman curly hairstyle for a long time.

She would also share rice balls from the convenience store. She really liked this convenient, delicious and filling food. When she came back from training breaks, she would always bring some for Tony Bianca.

Perhaps, it was because of this relationship of both friend and foe that she decided to agree to this joint tactic and go out as an auxiliary.

Of course, in addition to these, it is also very important that he is vaguely aware that it is almost impossible for him to win this Japan Cup in his current state.

She participated in last year's Japan Cup.

In that competition, she once again met her old rivals Triptych and Glory, who was also from the UK.

Perhaps she no longer had any confidence in her last kick, especially in front of the triptych that was already famous for its last kick. With the consent of her trainer, she took a gamble and chose the great escape method.

As a result, he only got fifth place.

This time, Tony Bianca, who was as good as Triptych at the end and even better at this stage, left this Japan Cup. Moonlight Madness couldn't think of any other way to win.

Unless, like in the Saint-Glover Grand Prix that year, you find the right opportunity to cut in, get into the right position, and maintain a certain lead before Tony Bianca enters the final straight line, there will be a chance of winning.

As a horse girl, Moonlight Madness certainly has her own selfish motives and a desire to win.

Agreeing with the tactics means agreeing with the tactics, agreeing with the auxiliary running method means agreeing with the auxiliary running method, and not having confidence in the final step means not having confidence.

But it doesn't mean giving up on victory completely.

This was something that was tacitly understood during the entire preparation period for this race. Not only did I think so, but the horse racing ladies who had the same tactical arrangements as me also thought so.

The problem is that this hope of winning comes from the movements of his old rival and old friend, Tony Bianca.

According to the planned tactics, Tony Bianca could move a little ahead when he was competing for the same position at Tamamo Cross in the first corner.

It is not necessary to get too far forward, as long as you can maintain a panoramic view of the entire field and be able to clamp the Tamamo Cross at any time.

But Tony Bianca didn’t do that.

The reason why Moonlight looked back crazily, or rather the unexpected reason, stemmed from this point.

So...

What are you thinking about……

Tony...

With doubts and facing the unexpected situation, Moonlight Madness could only maintain the status quo and run towards the end of the bend according to the predetermined tactics.

The team was about to finish the first bend of the race and reach the straight section opposite the spectator stands.

After the battle for position in the opening and cornering sections, the positions of the horse racers have changed drastically compared to after leaving the gates.

Fortunately, although the commentator was excited, he was quite familiar with this kind of change. He followed the pace of the horse racing ladies closely and reported truthfully to the audience inside and outside the venue.

During the period, the guests also pointed out the pros and cons of the competition in a timely manner.

“Well, the contestants have come to the front of the opposite track. After an extremely intense position battle, let’s check on the status of the horse girls.

“The leader now is Shirley Sky from Britain, who cleverly broke through the gap during the position battle and seemed to want to set the pace of the race.

"A close second is baby Michelle."

"The physical fitness of this American player is quite amazing. He fought for position with three players, Huang Jincheng, Sakura Xingwang and Mejiro Dylan, in one go on the curve.

"But she doesn't seem to be planning to take the lead. She is just keeping the second position. She should be waiting for an opportunity to act."

"The three leading runners in the opening stage have now fallen to the left and right positions. The burden on the body caused by the change in running style is still inevitable. I hope the three runners can adjust their condition.

"Ah, it looks like Contestant Dylan Mejiro has slowed down a bit."

"It seems that the fierce confrontation before was too much for the horse girl of the Mejiro family. It is a good choice to retreat to the sideline. That way, she can save more energy. I hope she can adjust in time."

“The most popular player, Tamamo Cross, is now in the center of the team.

“The previous confrontation didn’t seem to affect her, and she maintained a pretty good rhythm and posture.

“The inside is the British moonlight craziness.

"Then... ah, New Zealand's Ellis Glory chose to chase at this moment, and she pressed forward from the outside."

“That’s a very good judgment of timing. In the past competitions, the Ellis Glory players were better at fighting in the final corner.

“Avoid early confrontation and adjust your position at the end of the transition corner in the opening stage, which can leave more energy for the decisive corner.”

“Well, let’s confirm the position of the world champion.

“Tony Bianca is still in the back, almost at the end of the bad row.

"Behind her, there are only one or two players who chose to chase after her: Pay Butler, Hayabusa, and Inari."

“He probably wanted to continue checking his opponent’s condition. This European champion was quite patient, but our Japanese No. 1 was also very patient.

"So far, both Tony Bianca and Tamamo Cross have made very few moves."

"So, will the final victory be won by the duel between these two kings of the East and the West? Let's wait and see!"

Compared to the excitement before the game and in the early stages, the commentary at this moment is much calmer.

This is also related to the fact that the competition situation has become calmer.

The Tokyo circuit is a usual rectangular shape, with the starting point in the middle of the straight in front of the main stand and the first turn just past the finish line.

After the bends and curves, there is a straight section of more than 500 meters. On this kind of track, there are rarely fierce confrontations like those on the bends.

Unless it is the final straight line.

At present, there is still more than half of the opposite track, the third turn and the final bend to the final straight, so it is not difficult to understand why the commentary has become calmer.

The same was true for the audience, and the only abnormality was probably the hall where the horse racing ladies from Central Tresen College watched the races.

Under the initiative and organization of Luduo Symbol, the G1-level rewards can now be regarded as one of the important teaching materials of the academy.

Whenever there is such an event, she will prepare a special viewing area for the students in the name of the college and the student union.

Before, she would bring members of the student union to explain the competition to the students as seniors.

This time, since he was responsible for the Peak Cup event after the Japan Cup, the task of organizing the spectator games was given to Narita Shirahito and Kicho.

The two horse girls had been interning with the student union for a long time and had visible management talents, so it was not difficult for them to organize such an event.

However, when it comes to explaining the competition, since they haven't made their debut yet, their experience is naturally not enough to explain anything.

So, while taking the students to watch the game, the two horse racing girls directly asked Oguruma and the others who were also in the viewing hall for advice.

"Ask me..."

Originally, it was just because Kitahara went to the foreign guest reception hall that he came here with his sister to watch the game. When faced with the question, Oguruma was a little embarrassed.

"But I haven't participated in the Japan Cup either. I don't know what to say about the current situation."

What Narita Shirahito and Qicho had just asked about was the race becoming calmer after the turn. They wanted to hear what Oguruma, Super Kobayashi and Mejiro Altan thought.

"You can't say that."

Facing Oguri’s answer, Narita Shirahito pondered: “Although the seniors have never participated in the Japan Cup, the Japanese Derby is also 2400 meters in Tokyo.

“Perhaps, the experience may be similar?”

"That's not the case, Shirohito."

This time, before Little Limao could answer, Little Bay responded with a smile: “Maybe it’s because you haven’t participated in a formal competition yet.

"In fact, some competitions may look like the same venue and distance, but the situations are completely different."

When his viewpoint was pointed out to be problematic, Narita Shirahito was not discouraged. Instead, he said seriously, "That's why I need to ask the seniors for advice."

"Hmm, I see..."

The smile gradually became doting. Xiao Haiwan touched his cheek, tilted his head, and thought for a while, "How should I put it...

"Generally speaking, in the 2400-meter race in Tokyo, the strategy is basically to start slowly and rely on the last kick to win.

“But G1 events can’t always be generalized.

“Being able to go to G1 itself means that the final level is at a high level, otherwise the previous games would not be won at all.

"In this case, unless the player has an exceptionally strong last-minute skill level, the stronger the overall ability, the greater the chance of winning." "Is that so..." Narita Bairen pondered.

"If we look at overall ability," Qicao, who was following Narita Bairen and listening to Xiao Haiwan's words, thought, "Tamamo-senpai seems to have a great advantage?

“I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that the fierce competition in the curve section seems to be very disadvantageous to our horse girls.

“Tamamo-senpai, oh yes, and Inari-senpai, they don’t seem to be affected at all.

"So, this could be their chance to win?"

"This..."

Touching his cheek, his face still had a doting smile, but Xiaowan’s eyes became serious, “You can’t say that.

“Because, in a game, the overall atmosphere is very important. Often the outcome of a game is not determined by individual performance, but by overall changes. You will understand this when you officially participate in the game.

“That’s what the Japan Cup is like right now.

“It’s true that Tama and Inari weren’t affected much by the confrontation, but our players as a whole were being led by the nose.

“So, the overall situation is that overseas players have an advantage.

"If this state continues, the opponent will undoubtedly have the advantage in subsequent game rhythm, good position and sprint timing.

"Even if Xiaoyu and Inari are not affected now, they will still face some troubles at that time."

"I see..." Like Narita Bairen, Qi Cao frowned and fell into deep thought.

On the other side, the other horse racing ladies who had also listened to Xiao Haiwan’s analysis began to talk about it.

"Ouch... It looks like a headache. Can't we do as Senior Xiao Haiwan said, and run slowly at the beginning, and fight for victory at the last breath?"

"Uh, Xiao Te, it should be difficult to win the Japan Cup with that kind of running, right?"

"No, I think what Xiao Te said makes sense. Xiao Cao, you are always worried about this and that, it must be difficult for you... Ouch! Who pinched me?"

"hehe."

"Hmm... I feel like Xiao Te and Xiao Ying think too simply. It's not that easy to win a competition like the Japan Cup... Eh? Qingyun, why are you looking at me?"

"It's nothing. I just feel that Huanhuan hasn't laughed like a queen today. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

"Do I, do I really have to smile like that? And Qingyun, didn't you fall asleep today?"

"Oh, yeah... because of this kind of interesting competition, I can't fall asleep at all. If I have the chance, I really want to participate in such a competition..."

While the younger generations were discussing, Super Bay smiled and looked at his two good friends.

"But, really speaking of the situation... Hey, Aldan, what's wrong with you?"

Turning around, he found that Mejiro Aldan looked a little worried, and Super Little Bay couldn't help but ask.

"Ah? Ah...I'm worried about Sister Dylan."

Looking away from the big screen in the viewing hall, Mejiro Aldan sighed, “The condition of the Mejiro family’s feet is no secret.

“In theory, my example is enough to prove that Kitahara and Eternal Club have better training methods.

"Sister Gao Feng also appreciates this approach.

“But now the only ones who can train in the club are me, Gao Feng, McQueen, Shanxin and Ryan.

"None of the three of them have debuted yet. Gao Fengjie is no longer participating in the Shining Series. I have already signed a contract with Kitahara, so this doesn't mean anything."

He couldn't help but look in the direction of his sisters on the other side, and worry appeared in Aldan's eyes.

"It's obvious that grandma still doesn't agree with fully cooperating with us.

“The family still prefers traditional training and competition. Otherwise, apart from McQueen and the others, other horse racing girls of the right age can actually get involved in our training.

"If this could have happened earlier, Sister Dylan would have known more clearly how to deal with the Japan Cup this time, and she wouldn't have been forced to fall behind like she is now."

Hearing this, Super Bay fell silent.

Although she, Aldan, and Oguruma are not as good as Mejiro Dylan in terms of age and number of competitions, there is no difference in competition experience.

The horse girl who is good at moving forward has to slow down her pace, which is undoubtedly a last resort.

This means that if you want to win the championship next time, you must speed up again.

The running of Uma Musume can be compared to that of a train. When a whole train is fully operational, the traction force of the locomotive does not need to be that great, and dozens of carriages can be driven by inertia.

What really consumes energy is getting started.

The same is true for horse girls. That is to say, after slowing down, the physical energy consumed and the speed maintained are completely not on the same level as those consumed in order to return to the previous speed and position.

Combined with Aldan's words, it is obvious that it will be difficult for Mejiro Dylan to win.

"Perhaps if Tama or Inari wins this tournament, it can change something?"

Patting Aldan's shoulder comfortingly and smiling, Xiaowan directly changed the subject, "I feel that Xiaoyu's current position is pretty good."

After spending a long time together, Aldan quickly understood Xiaowan's good intentions, and gradually put away the worry on his face, turning it into thoughtfulness.

"Indeed, I mean, Xiaoyu's position."

Although his battle record is not the best in Eternal World, Mejiro Aldan's intelligence level can be said to be top-notch.

“This position is in the middle of the team, so you won’t be touched by any opponent after the curve, and you can still grasp the overall movement.

“Once something happens in Turn 3, whether it’s going over the outside lane or cutting into the inside lane, there’s a lot of room for maneuver.

"Xiaoyu... is really amazing."

Xiao Haiwan also agreed with this evaluation. They trained, studied and lived together every day, so she was quite clear about Tamamo Cross's strength.

If it were me, I'm afraid I would only be able to choose this position...

But I don’t think I can handle it as easily as Xiaoyu…

Thinking about it, Xiao Haiwan couldn't help but ask another good friend.

"What do you think, Oguri...Oguri?"

When asked, she looked away and was stunned.

She saw that Xiaolimao's expression was the same as usual, looking very natural, but her eyes were staring clearly at the far right side of the screen.

The competing teams are now located in a straight line directly opposite the audience seats. Under the counter-clockwise schedule, the far right side of the live broadcast screen is naturally the end of the team.

"Hmm...ah? How do you see what? Use your eyes."

A beat late in realizing what he had heard, Little Chestnut responded subconsciously. Little Bay was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yes, indeed. Look with your eyes..."

Attracted by the exchange here, Aldan also looked over and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, I do use my eyes..."

After laughing, Aldan explained, “The meaning of Xiaowan is, what do you think of Xiaoyu’s position.

"Or rather, what are you thinking about right now?"

"As for me..." Ogurumao began to think.

All I can say is that Narita Hakuhito and Kisao are not very familiar with Oguruma's thought process.

They asked directly, "What are your opinions, comments, and predictions about the Japan Cup?" To Oguruma, the answer was, "I haven't participated, so I don't know."

But in reality, her “thoughts” are just opinions, evaluations, and predictions.

"That horse girl wearing strange clothes seems to be in a good position."

Pointing at the Umamusume at the end of the team on the screen, wearing a punk-style winning outfit, Oguruma said directly: "Number 16...

“Oh yeah, pay the butler.

"I remember Kitahara asked Tama and Inari to keep an eye on this opponent.

“From her position, she can see the scene very clearly at once.

“Also, you don’t have to worry about wasting energy in position grabbing or changing positions, because that position is the wide outside lane after the final turn.

“If it were me, I would probably choose that place too.

"Because, only there can I surpass Xiaoyu in one go with my last kick."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Haiwan and Aldan's first reaction was to smile bitterly.

Something like surpassing the Great Outer Path is not something that an ordinary horse girl can do.

On a one or two thousand meter track, there is no difference in distance on the straight section, but the gap can easily be widened on the curved section.

The maximum difference in distance between the inside and outside of a single curve can be over 10 meters, and at least 5 meters.

With the speed of the horse girl, it seems that she can run 5 meters in just 0.2 to 0.3 seconds.

But the outcome of a game often depends on this tiny gap. In actual game results, it is common for a difference of 0.1 seconds to determine the outcome.

Not to mention the longer distance difference and more accumulated gaps in corners.

Therefore, only a monster like Oguruma can calmly say that the great outer way has surpassed him in one breath.

But in an instant, both horse girls showed cautious expressions.

They also know the importance of payment managers.

More than once, in private, at preparation meetings, during training and in between, Kitahara mentioned the arrangements for this horse girl.

In the instructions before the game, it was specifically mentioned that the opponent would definitely target Tamamo Cross.

However, in the face of such targeting, the way to deal with it was for Tamamo Cross to completely ignore it.

Xiao Haiwan and the others could not figure out why they attached so much importance to this horse racing girl who seemed to have mediocre past performance.

This response is a bit strange.

However, their long-term trust in Kitahara made them unconditionally believe that their trainer must have some deep meaning behind doing this.

"She wants to defeat Xiaoyu in one go with her last kick?"

Following what Xiaokuimao said, Xiaowan began to think, "But... in her past competitions, she didn't have any data on the last three waves that could match Xiaoyu's, right?"

"Well, not only Xiaoyu, but also Tony Bianca can't compare."

Aldan echoed, “I remember it very clearly, judging from the data alone, Tony Bianca’s last three waves were one level higher than Xiaoyu’s.

"Their data is more than one level higher than that of the payment manager.

"so……"

"So the way she ran should be the same as what Kitahara said, she is trying to hide something."

Xiao Limao interrupted with a puzzled look, "Besides, I feel like she's hiding something...

"It's like... she wasn't originally like this, but she became like this just to imitate someone..."

I have to say, sometimes Oguruma's intuition is so accurate that it's scary.

Kitahara knew through "foreknowledge" that the payment manager had spent a lot of effort on research for this competition.

He even ignored the joint arrangement between Yongwu and Seattle Slalom and continued his training secretly on his own.

I also adapted to the Japanese tracks thoroughly on my own.

Moreover, in the few competitions closest to the Japan Cup, he deliberately did not participate in the games that were beneficial to him.

Even the running style, words and actions during the competition were disguised.

The running style of this horse racing girl at this moment is the same as that in recent competitions in the United States, with large swinging arms and strides, which is a rare "long stride".

But in fact, what she is good at is precisely another uncommon "short attack step".

That is, the arms swing up and down with a very small amplitude, the body leans forward with a large amplitude, and the legs move in a very narrow and low range as if flowing rather than running.

In a way, this is very similar to the low posture that Oguruma is accustomed to, except that Oguruma's usual step is the more common "mid-attack step".

In terms of her words and actions, she completely imitates her rival, Eternal Sunshine, who returned to the United States from Europe.

To be honest, Kitahara admitted that if he didn't know these things, he would have been completely deceived by the other party.

They don't even care about winning the game and have to go through such a level of disguise just for the Japan Cup. It's really a headache to beat such an opponent.

But the more complicated the preparation, the easier it will be to deal with once you know it.

Just as Oguruma and the others now understand, Kitahara did not tell them such complicated things. After all, the source of this "precognitive" information is difficult to explain.

But they knew very well that for any action of this opponent, Tamamo Cross only needed to do one simple thing: "ignore it."

Ultimately, the competition depends on strength.

As long as the messy psychological influences are blocked, Tamamo Cross will definitely have a clear advantage in terms of strength.

Xiao Limao also knew this, so after muttering to herself for a while, she shook her head and stopped talking about paying the butler.

"It doesn't matter what I imitate, anyway..."

She pointed to the far right side of the screen, "Don't you think that something is wrong with Inari's condition...?"

This question surprised Xiao Haiwan and Aldan.

In an instant, Xiaowan frowned, “The status is not right…is it?
"I feel……

“Isn’t it normal for Inari to run after someone else?

"And didn't you just say, Oguri, that if you are in this backward position, as long as you can get to the wide outside lane after the final turn, you can rush to the first place in one breath with a last-minute sprint.

“Among us, besides you, the only one who has such an exaggerated trick is Inari.

"This was originally her main tactic for this match, right?"

When preparing for war within Eternity, opponents will not announce each other's tactics together.

But after being together for so long, even if we don't know the details, we can still guess the general idea based on our long-term understanding of each other.

It is already the middle of the game. He has been at the end of the team from the beginning and there has been no change until now. There is no doubt that Inari will adopt the strategy of chasing from behind.

And it's a very standard chase.

By accelerating in the middle to late stages of the race, you can gradually increase your speed to the maximum before entering the final straight line.

Then, relying on the physical strength saved by the "slow" pace in the early stage, he maintained the extreme speed.

Win the game in one go.

This is the idea behind both Little Bay and Aldan.

Xiao Limao actually thought so too.

But some inexplicable feeling made her feel that even if such a tactic was adopted, Inari's mind might not be that simple at the moment.

She couldn't say why.

She just vaguely knew that facing the Tamamo Cross in this Japan Cup, she would not feel relaxed no matter what.

In fact, she occasionally thought about what would happen if she didn't need long-term recuperation because of the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival, and if she was like Inari Ichi, she would have the same mindset as Tamamo Juji in this Japan Cup.

Then she vaguely felt that she would be very conflicted, hesitant, and even a little painful.

Because, I don’t think there is any problem with my strength, but the fact is that I have never won a head-on victory.

The rift created by the gap between ideal and reality is like a blunt knife.

This is the reason for entanglement, hesitation and pain.

So, I think Inari is a little weird...

Is it because of this…?
For no reason, Xiao Limao thought so.

But soon, her attention was drawn to the dramatic changes on the screen in the viewing hall, the sudden uproar in the hall, and the exclamations coming from the audience seats and the radio outside the hall.

“The third turn!
“All the horse girls have chosen to take action!
“Baby Michelle, who was originally on the inside, cut to the outside in one go and caught up with Shirley Sky who was leading!
“The gradual acceleration of the Ellis Glory player from the straight line allowed her to enter the vanguard!
“The Sakura Star King and the Golden City contestant who were leading at the beginning also chose to speed up. Although the two horse girls did not maintain the lead, they took the lead very flexibly. Now they also took action!
"Then there was...

“Tamamo Cross!!

"Tamamo Cross is chasing from the outside! Now they are in the 5th or 6th place!

"After her...

“It’s Tony Bianca who is eyeing us!!
"Has the European champion finally been unable to resist and is ready to challenge the Japanese champion?!
“Not yet, not yet!

"The chasing players, such as Paymaster, Hayate, and Inari, also started to speed up, but it was clear that they still needed a buffer at the corner...

"and many more!
"accelerate!!

“Tony Bianca speeds up!!!

“Tony Bianca is now on par with Tamamo Cross in an instant!

"The clash between kings has begun!

"At the same time! The 18 players are just as intense as the opening round, no, even more intense than the opening round!
“It was almost a huddle!
“The 18 contestants almost huddled together as they entered the deciding turn!
"The cheers resounded throughout the Tokyo stadium!!!"

If any audience member wants to say something to his companion or a complete stranger at this time, there is no way to convey the words clearly to the other party.

The entire auditorium was filled with shouts at the top of their lungs, and it was impossible to tell whether they were cheers for encouragement or something else.

At this moment, the audience in the Tokyo stadium seemed to have degenerated, and could only use straightforward and rough roars to express the most primitive impact of the fierce battle before their eyes.

On the track, the moment entering the third turn, almost all the horse racing girls started to move.

As if whoever enters the curve first will win the championship, footsteps that shake the earth sound one after another, and fierce competition breaks out every second among the team of eighteen horse girls.

It was this kind of scene that excited the audience, and in fact the commentator as well.

But the next moment, they found that they were too excited.

The commentator was almost a beat late in telling the truth.

"coming!
"coming!
"Here it comes!
"The first battle between kings was decided in an instant. The one who rushed out of the team like lightning was Japan's Tamamo Cross!!

“Want the world to see this white lightning?!
"Tamamo Cross Collar... first..."

Before the commentary got stuck, among the crowd that was squeezed into the bend, the one who really rushed to the first place in an instant as if wrapped in lightning was Tamamo Cross.

There is generally no buffer and no follow-up measures.

That seemingly insignificant little figure was like the thunder god above Takama-ga-hara in the ancient wild legend.

Just a flash of lightning attracted everyone's attention.

But then, it was as if the light faded and the thunder stopped.

The attention of both the audience and the commentator was instantly diverted.

“Tony Bianca!!
“The battle between kings has come to the second round!
"Following closely in the footsteps of Japan's champion Tamamo Cross, Europe's champion Tony Bianca is pressing forward again!
“This is the foot of the world!

“This is the foot of the world!

"In an instant, they wiped out Tamamo Cross' lead and brought them neck and neck again. This is the Foot of the World, the King of Europe, Tony Bianca!!!"

All attention in the arena was focused on the two horse girls who were in the lead.

Just like what Super Little Bay said in the viewing hall, G1, especially international-level G1, cannot be generalized in many situations.

There is no slow probing. In other words, for the horse racing girl who stands at the top position in the world, probing in the early and middle stages is enough.

For the rest, you just need to leave no effort and you can only leave no effort.

"と戦う...? (fight?)

“Ma che diavolo… (You must be kidding…)
"Morto...o vivo... (This is a life-and-death struggle...)
"そうですか,タマモクロス...(That's right, Tamamo Cross?)"

Finally, with a slightly ridiculous feeling, Tony Bianca completely entered his first and most heartfelt game situation.

She still couldn't wholeheartedly endorse the auxiliary joint tactics, even though she had experienced them before.

Now, just as she thought, she had to rely on herself to win.

The two presidents had good ideas, but they were useless.

This is what she found ridiculous.

This is not a mockery of the two predecessors.

She just firmly believed that no matter what the situation was, there would be no auxiliary alliance or no auxiliary alliance.

As a horse girl, all you have to do is fight with all your might.

Especially when that neurotic commentator said something like "おうじゃ".

This is also what she finds funny, that is, the Japanese seem to like to give people titles and nicknames at every turn.

Like "White Lightning", "King of Europe" and "King of Japan".

But since we are called that, it seems we should adapt to the local customs and be more appropriate to the occasion.

As a king, you should fight to the end with honor.

With such a resolute yet slightly playful thought, she looked straight ahead and spoke the words to Tamamo Cross.

Tamamo Cross doesn't understand Italian.

But she heard the first and last words in Japanese, as well as the determination, clearly.

"What weird things are you talking about...

"but……

"It doesn't seem like something weird...

"Want to compete with me...?
"Okay……"

He grinned unconsciously, and his sharp fangs faintly cut through the shrill cries in the strong wind. Tamamo Cross laughed loudly, not caring whether the other party could understand him or not, and suddenly growled.

“Don’t feel it’s unfair!
"In a race between you and me, I will never lose!!
"If you want to fight it out, I'll fight you to the end!!!"

In fact, Tony Bianca didn't understand Japanese very well.

The declaration she had just made to Tamamo Cross was the only Japanese vocabulary she had.

But many times, you don’t need to understand the meaning of every word the other person says, you can still understand them.

She felt it very clearly that the little man next to her, who didn't look very tall, was as terrifying as lightning, just as the Japanese media had advertised before the game.

Even the momentum itself seemed to be promoted in a way that it only appeared on one side, but it felt like it was coming from all directions.

This feeling made her heart palpitate for a moment.

The next second, an uncontrollable tremor spread through every nerve, every blood vessel, every muscle, and every bone in the body.

She suddenly realized that she had underestimated the Japan Cup, which was promoted to an international G1 only in recent years.

Because what she felt at this moment was the same palpitations and trembling that she had felt several times at the Arc de Triomphe.

But this does not limit her ability to do so.

Perhaps Japan's title culture is still interesting and makes some sense.

Since he is the king.

Since we are facing a challenge from a fellow king.

How could I be so restrained?

war.

Isn't it just about fighting until the last man standing?
very good……

So……

!

Unexpectedly, not only Tony Bianca, but Tamamo Cross also realized that there was a breath similar to his own approaching from behind.

Tony Bianca could feel the palpitations from Tamamo Cross, and so could Tamamo Cross.

This is a feeling that only a domain-level horse girl can bring. Facing a horse girl who is giving her all is like facing some bloodthirsty beast in the wilderness in primitive times.

Being in the same field doesn't mean that we can't feel the oppression, it just means that we won't be affected.

Therefore, if the breath coming from behind is the same as your own, there is only one possibility.

Uma Musume, who is also at the field level, is close.

“Well…
“Lighting, sound, stage, in place…
"King?

"Another King?

"Or Queen and Jcak else?"
“How about…

"Action with an Assassin?"

With a heart-pounding imminent pressure, a series of playful words came from behind Tony Bianca and Tamamo Cross, like a series of dark and dull daggers, sharp and sharp.

They glanced diagonally behind them almost at the same time, and in an instant, the pupils of the two leading horse girls shrank at the same time as they were being stared at with endless malice.

After the playful words, the payment manager who attacked from behind was like a dagger, tearing open the distance between Tony Bianca and Tamamo Cross.

She came on too strong and the two horse girls had to avoid her.

If they didn't avoid it, the other party would seem to be able to do whatever it takes and bump into one or both of them.

It's really like an assassin who travels thousands of miles to the throne and is willing to risk his life for it.

Tony Bianca was shocked, and Tamamo Cross was equally horrified.

You should know that although you have not completely entered the final straight line at this time.

But in order to stay ahead, the two of them had already exceeded the average cruising speed of 16 meters per second by far.

It is no exaggeration to say that we have entered the final stage of the sprint.

Being able to catch up meant that the payment manager was faster than the two of them.

If a collision occurs at this speed, there is no chance of winning or losing.

The only thing that can be done and might be helpful is to pray that the ambulance arrives quickly before you pass out.

"...Pazzo...!! (Mad man...!!)"

"You...are you sick in the brain?!"

He was horrified at the payment manager who suddenly inserted himself into the contest with the opponent, and even more terrified at the danger that might happen a moment ago.

Tony Bianca and Tamamo Cross cursed almost in unison.

The payment manager still had a mischievous smile on his face.

It was as if what she had just done was really just a harmless prank.

But she knew deep down that this was her only chance to win in this Japan Cup.

The original appearance.

Original character.

Original clothing.

There were many matches before the Japan Cup that could have been won.

In order to influence the Japan Cup, all of this can be thrown away.

I completely wasted the long time before and after the classic year, and finally with the help of my trainer I figured out which field I was best at.

In this Japan Cup, she can do whatever it takes.

She had done too much work to just give up.

She knew very well that Tamamo Cross would never give her a close one-on-one opportunity.

This horse girl who has climbed up from the bottom of the Japanese central racing field has a heart that refuses to admit defeat...

too strong!
Once in a close one-on-one fight, no one could predict what limits she could unleash.

Perhaps, in this case, she has no limits at all.

Closer, closer, closer.

With every step closer, her limit would increase a little.

Just like what the East calls the dragon's reverse scale, that area will cause anger if touched.

She had given up everything, and might even have ruined the race and her future race-walking career because of her dangerous move just now, instead of fighting to the death with this unfathomable little man.

She has only one purpose.

Win the Japan Cup.

As for Tony Bianca, no problem.

This is definitely one of the world's top horse racing girls.

It's true that you don't have the slightest hope at the last minute.

However, his rhythm was disrupted by his previous actions.

You have your own exclusive "field" that can only be entered in this occasion, this track, and this state.

Even though she knows very well that she is not the top-notch genius horse racing girl who can create a career that leads an era.

The calculations accumulated in this moment...

It is also enough to win the Japan Cup! !

"Crazy... cough, the sudden appearance of the Paymaster contestant disrupted the duel between Tamamo Cross and Tony Bianca!!"

The commentator almost lost control of his crazy mind and said something that was unprofessional. He tried his best to control himself and complete the live broadcast normally.

"While Tamamo Cross and Toni Bianca were competing one-on-one, the Pay Butler contestant cut in from the inside lane and inserted himself directly between the two horse girls!"

"This situation is suspected of being a foul, but for now, the game... continues."

Similar to the commentary, this time the review couldn't help but take over the topic and insert its own evaluation.

There was no way to hold back, and everyone saw that the payment butler was approaching Tamamo Cross and Tony Bianca at high speed, with no intention of stopping at all.

She seemed to be determined to use this method of mutual destruction to force the two players in front of her to make way.

If it were on a straight track, this behavior would undoubtedly be judged as a foul.

But the race is still at a bend.

Well, according to Japan's current regulations regarding the Japan Cup, this is actually a situation of competition for position.

Even if additional regulations are added due to the dangerousness of this behavior, they will not be applied until the next game.

Therefore, it is common sense to infer that unless all participants in this competition agree, the Japanese URA Association can only give the payment manager a warning at most.

This is also the reason why the review is hesitant for a moment.

The insertion of commentary did not affect the live part of the commentary.

“Confirm the current situation.

“The three horse girls in the lead are Tamamo Cross, Tony Bianca and Pay Butler.

“The three players are not far apart, it seems the victory will be decided by the last kick.

“Tamamo Cross is located more on the outside, while Tony Bianca is located more on the inside.

"They're probably worried that the butler player will do something dangerous like that again. I hope this horse girl will play calmly and be safe."

In fact, the commentator endured it again and again, and only when he could no longer bear it did he give guidance or biased comments that violated professional principles.

There was no way. The situation just now was too dangerous, and he himself was a radical commentator.

Even though there was a possibility of being fined or even suspended by the event organizer and the association, he couldn't help but speak out.

And soon, he resumed the regular live broadcast.

“So, the race team comes to the final straight line.

"The battle between the four horse girls in the leading team is still going on. Although Inari is a little behind, the next 300 meters or so... wait, wait?!
“Four?!
“Ina, Inari?!

"She, when did she catch up?!!!"

Obviously, even after the game is over, the relevant departments will not fine or punish the commentator because of his previous subjective evaluation.

This obvious live error at this moment will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for the commentator.

But the commentator no longer cared about anything else. He just shouted out his horror, as if he had thrown away a broken jar.

“When did Inari catch up?!

"Did she perform some kind of witchcraft?!
"Oh my god! Even if I catch up, as a chasing horse girl, I should be able to do it in one breath on the final straight line, right?!

"In short, the final straight line is now being chased by two Japanese horse girls and two overseas horse girls!!!"

In fact, it's not just the commentator, but also the guests next to him, the staff responsible for the broadcast, and the audience on the scene.

Almost no one noticed how Inariichi "suddenly" caught up to the front.

But inexplicably, after a few breaths of shock, almost everyone felt relieved.

It was as if Inari was supposed to be there.

It was supposed to be the last minute of the race when you had to fight hard with your opponents at the front.

The first person to notice Inari's move was Baby Michelle, who was originally in the leading position.

Although he promised the team that he could play as a support.

However, as a horse girl, how could she not have a desire to win?
