Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 206: Didn’t get the lead seat?!
After a while, we arrived at the VIP seats in the stands.

"...So, except for the Light Diamond, you're all from the same class..."

After a brief greeting, and having learned about the relationship between Satomi Crown and the others and Northern Xuanju, Qingzhu nodded in remembrance and looked at Oguruma with emotion.

"It's really... nostalgic, isn't it, Oguri-senpai?"

Still looking very cool on the surface, Ogurimao nodded while unconsciously recalling his own competition that year.

In addition to Qingzhu's memories, the super small bay we talked about before, there are also Tamamo Cross, Inari Ichi, Yae Mudi, Mejiro Altan...

At that time, they were just like Satomi Hirano in front of them and Kita no Xuanju who was already walking towards the gate from the underground passage. They were all good friends in life and study, as well as opponents on the field.

“The seniors’ competitions were all very exciting!”

At this time, Satomi Crown said with some excitement and anticipation: "By the way, Oguruma-senpai, my next competition is the Emperor's Autumn Viewing.

"I just have a humble request. Could you please..."

She suddenly stopped talking halfway and looked embarrassed.

Not only her, Qingzhu Huiyi and Rijian Guangzuan were also stunned for a moment, with expressions that looked a little embarrassed and embarrassment.

Only Mingsheng Leidong was also stunned. He remained there with a frown on his face, his eyes full of memories.

Xiao Limao looked normal.

"Tianqiu... do you want to ask for advice?"

Misato-Kurouma hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and nodded, earning a quick smile from Oguruma.

“Then I’m afraid…I’m not really suitable.

"Tianqiu... I participated three times and lost all three times."

“B-but Senpai’s performance was amazing…!”

As Satomi Crown spoke hurriedly, Qingzhu recalled and said:

"How could you say that, Oguri-senpai?
"The first two times were with Tamamo-senpai and Xiaohaiwan-senpai. Everyone knows how strong they are. You're just a fool!
"And if it weren't for those annoying reporters the third time, your training wouldn't have been affected. You would have definitely won!"

There was still no change in his expression, and Little Chestnut smiled quickly again.

"I just don't have any experience in winning, and it's in the past. It's nothing."

After saying that, she pondered for a moment.

“Well, although I have no experience, I can try to ask Xiaoyu and Xiaohaiwan later. They should be interested in helping you.

"But they're not in Tokyo, so they may not come..."

She pondered for a moment.

"Anyway, I'll ask him. You can also ask Inari. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so it would be nice to get together."

When asking for advice, Satomi Crown originally had the idea of ​​giving it a try.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that the senior in front of him did not perform as well as he expected at the Emperor's Autumn Appreciation Ceremony, and he felt awkward and nervous for a moment.

When she suddenly heard the promise, she was surprised and happy.

"Thank you so much, Senior! I will definitely..."

The sudden high-pitched commentary from the radio interrupted her words.

"Gentlemen! The battle for the title of the strongest of the generation... is about to begin!

"As if fate had called, 18 horse girls entered the gate one after another...

"So, the final chapter of the classic triple crown..."

The Okonomiyaki box in Oguruma's hand had been empty for a long time, and at this moment the empty box suddenly made a slight clicking sound.

Qingzhu Huiyi unconsciously grasped the railing in front of him, and Rimi Crown's nails pinched crescent-shaped marks on his palms. Rimi Guangzuan and Mingsheng Lei's bodies unconsciously leaned towards the direction of the arena.

The noise in the audience seemed to be muted, and hundreds of thousands of people seemed to hold their breath at the same time.

Suddenly, his ears began to tremble uncontrollably, and the corners of Xiao Li Mao's mouth rose to a crazy angle that was completely inconsistent with his cold temperament.

"Everyone... your entry was beautiful, very good..."

She suddenly murmured:
"...Kyoto Grass Course 3000m, G1, Chrysanthemum Viewing...

“…Start.”

As if responding to these whispers, the commentary echoed over the Kyoto stadium.

"Kyoto Stadium Grass 3000m, G1, Chrysanthemum Viewing... Start!" This live broadcast was relatively calm.

The next sentence's voice suddenly rose.

"Contestant No. 7, Tosirishi, was late and she fell behind alone!

“The other racehorse girls had beautiful starts, running towards the track in unison.

“We rushed towards the ramp first, and the No. 6 red Solomon accelerated out and took the lead.

"The most popular Northern Xuanju is in second place, and the No. 4 inner gate is indeed a bit disadvantageous for her.

Next to Northern Black Colt is Ribbon Triumph No. 8. After the two horse girls have passed the Saint-Leader Memorial, will they once again compete for the lead?

"Northern Black Horse led the charge towards Red Solomon, with Ribbon Triumph following closely behind...

"and many more!
“Uphill!
"Number 17 is the Coronation Stone! Number 18 is the Fighting Will!
"The two runners pressed their way towards the inside lane at top speed and overtook each other on the way to the top of the slope!
“Shibo Willpower is a little ahead and is in first place.

“The Coronation Stone is just a hair’s breadth away, in second place.

“Third is Red Solomon, and fourth is Ribbon Triumph.

"Northern Black Horse...is currently ranked fifth!"

The stands were already in uproar.

There is no doubt that those who can come to the Kyoto stadium to watch the live game are people who love Uma Musume and the Shining series very much.

Regardless of who the Uma Musume they support, most viewers are quite familiar with the players in this competition.

Especially in the introduction from the debut circle to the gate, the commentator mentioned many times the past racing situations of each horse girl, their preferred running styles and tactics.

This caused the stands to burst into exclamations the moment Northern Xuanju's live broadcast came out.

"The Northern Black Colt... failed to grab the lead position?!"

"What's going on? Where's my escape? I came here to watch the Northern Black Horse's escape!"

"How can a runaway horse win if it doesn't even make it to the lead? Where's the trainer? What instructions did he give?!"

"It was a mistake... It doesn't matter! I was given a chance anyway!"

"Charge! Northern Black Horse!"

The core of the interlaced shouts were almost all from Northern Xuanju, and there were also exclamations from Oguruma and the others.

"Xiaobei...what's going on?"

Satomi Crown's eyes widened. "Aren't you going to lead this match?"

"Xiaobei..."

Satomi Kozuna clenched his fists and muttered.

Although Mingsheng Leidong didn't say anything, his eyes were full of worry as he stared at the runway on the opposite side.

Compared with several juniors, Ogurumao and Aotake Yomi are obviously calmer.

"It's indeed a chrysanthemum viewing..." Oguruma nodded slightly.

"Yeah, their level of devotion is not much worse than Gaoyue and Debi."

Qingzhu echoed the words, folded his arms, and looked at the memory with a serious expression:
“The first two were probably last-minute changes to their running styles, or at least they had never run a big escape before.

"Cheating your pace like this... shouldn't be very useful, right?"

When she asked the last question, she tilted her head slightly towards Xiao Limao.

"uncertain."

Without hesitation, Xiao Limao shook his head and said, "Cheating your pace will always work, as long as the timing is right.

"Arima, Tenshu, Yasuda, Mainichi Crown... no matter what level or distance, as long as the race is right and the conditions are right, cheating on pace is a tactic that works.

"Not to mention……"

Her eyes flickered.

“This is the final battle of the classic triple crown, the Chrysanthemum Appreciation.

"They...are all nervous."
